Chapter 82: The Messenger Enters the Customs
Under normal circumstances, when generals return from defeat, they hope that the imperial court can give them another chance, mobilize troops to fight again, and then regain their own honor.
In the eyes of King Tus, Blis must also have this kind of mentality, but he didn't expect him to say so bluntly that if his side fights again, he will still lose!
Hearing King Tus's inquiry, Bliss did not directly explain why, but suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, before that, there is a question that I would like to ask you." ”
"Say!" King Tus said patiently.
Bliss said: "The last general wants to ask, does His Majesty really continue to plunder the wind and land? ”
"That's what you're asking?" King Tus said dissatisfied.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general must find out what you really intend to do now, or whether you are now prepared to continue as before, or whether you are prepared not to fight the wind for the time being. ”
"Nonsense! My land is sparsely populated, and my land is not fertile, and if I plunder without the wind, how can I have those fine silks and slaves for our servants!? King Tus was furious, and said angrily:
"Plus! More than 100,000 of my warriors, all of whom died in the wind! How can this king stop there? ”
"The Admiral understands." Bliss nodded, and continued:
"But now, it is impossible for our Tusi army to enter the wind and plunder at will as before! If His Majesty wants to go back to the way it used to be, he has to get rid of one person first! ”
"What?" King Tus laughed angrily, and he said angrily, "Briss! Is this the reason why you can't break through the martial arts! Hehe, it's ridiculous! How can just one person affect our army's offensive style? Are you crazy!? If you want to shirk responsibility, you should find a suitable reason!! ”
"Nope! Your Majesty, the last general does not mean to shirk his responsibilities, nor is he exaggerating. Do you know that on the battlefield, sometimes, the presence of a certain person can improve the courage of all soldiers! Make it as morale-free! Fearless to death! And marching and fighting, these are the most important! Bliss said with a serious look:
"And the current wind army, it is precisely because of the existence of such a person that it has become so brave and good at fighting! If this person is not removed, it will be difficult to break through the martial arts! ”
No matter how stupid King Tus was, he understood the importance of morale, and now that Briss said this, he nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:
"Who is this person?"
"Wind Country, the new guard of the border city, Lu Chen." Bliss said word by word.
Hearing this, King Tus immediately frowned again, and said: "Bris, you also said that the other party is the defender of the border city of the Wind Country, even if this king wants to get rid of him, then he has to break through the martial pass!" ”
Hearing this, Bliss replied unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, in fact, getting rid of Lu Chen doesn't have to be on the battlefield, there are many other methods, and it will be easier and more effective than killing the other party on the battlefield." ”
"Oh? Something else? When King Tus heard this, he pointed his hand at Bliss and urged, "Say it quickly! ”
"Use the Imperial Court of the Wind Country to kill Lu Chen." Bliss was succinct.
His words, which were so simple that they could be heard in the ears of King Tus, were simply absurd and funny, and the anger he had just calmed suddenly burst into his head again, and he shouted angrily:
"Bliss! Are you making fun of this king! With Lu Chen guarding the border in the north of the Wind Country, it's too late for the Wind Country court to be happy! How could they still kill him!? ”
"No, the Wind Country will definitely kill Lu Chen! Because they can't refuse the conditions we give! Bliss swore awkwardly.
"What do you mean......"
"Summation. On behalf of His Majesty the King, he sent an envoy to visit the Windy Country, meet with the Windy King, and ask him for reconciliation between the two countries. ”
After speaking, without waiting for King Tus to answer, Bliss then said:
"And such a request, for the current Wind Country, is equivalent to completely eliminating the trouble of the Northland, so that he can concentrate on dealing with the situation in the Central Plains! This is definitely something that the Imperial Court of the Wind Country can't ask for! And the condition of our peace is to let the Wind King behead him on the grounds that Lu Chen has killed too many of my Tusi warriors......"
"Only by killing Lu Chen can the resentment and anger in the hearts of the Tusi soldiers be calmed, and only in this way can the peace between the two countries be successfully reached! Right, Briss? Before Bliss could finish his words, King Tus continued his words.
"His Majesty the King is wise!" Brice knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Haha-" When King Tusi heard this, his mood improved a lot, and after laughing, he said treacherously: "And after Lu Chen is killed, I, Tusi, can tear up the peace agreement, and continue to attack Fengdi unscrupulously like before!" ”
"Yes!" Bliss agreed.
"How sure do you think you will succeed if you do this?" King Tus asked again.
"Ten percent." Bliss said without hesitation: "Lu Chen, it's just a little general at the border, in the eyes of a country like the Wind Country, the death of such a petty official is insignificant, let alone one Lu Chen, even if it is ten, it is impossible for the two countries to discuss peace, therefore, the Wind Country Imperial Court will definitely choose to abandon Lu Chen after weighing the pros and cons!" ”
"Yes, that makes sense." King Tus nodded, and soon, he subconsciously asked again: "Bris, if after getting rid of Lu Chen, it is still difficult to break through the Wind Country Martial Pass, then aren't we wasting our energy in vain?" ”
Hearing this, Bliss looked up at King Tus and said in an affirmative tone, "No, Your Majesty, have you forgotten what the former frontier army of the Wind Country was like?" Once Lu Chen is killed, his military spirit will definitely be weakened! In addition, if the border city of the Wind Country comes to the new county guard again, its person must be an incompetent person, because at that time, we have already made peace with the Wind Country! In the eyes of the Wind Country, the Northland is safe, how can the county guards sent here have much ability? ”
"Reasonable!" After listening to Bliss's explanation, King Tus immediately swept away the doubts in his heart, and at the same time sighed: "Hey, at the beginning, when our warriors were plundering, they really shouldn't have rushed into the county guard's mansion, nor should they have killed that Lord Wang, if the border city county guard hadn't died, Lu Chen would not have taken office, and there would not have been so many things behind......"
After the first battle of Wuguan, Blis saw the fighting spirit and courage of the wind army, and these are the changes brought about by Lu Chen after taking office, he knows very well that if he wants the wind army to be the same as before, he must replace the current county guard!
So he proposed to King Tusi to use the court of the Wind Country to kill Lu Chen, and the matter was quickly finalized, and Tusi immediately sent an envoy and rushed to Fengdi with a letter of state.
When Lu Chen received the news, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to Pingzhou to inform Liu Feng and asked him to inform the court with the county carrier pigeon.
The envoy knocked on the pass, Lu Chen was the guard, anyway, he had already informed the county head, and then, when the will of the imperial court came down, he would switch it to let him enter the wind land.
On such a major matter as the diplomacy between the two countries, Liu Feng dared to delay, and immediately wrote a note and reported it to the King of the Wind to know.
A few days later, the will of the Imperial Court of the Wind Country came back, and the content was very simple, let Lu Chen switch it and welcome the Tusi envoy into the wind......
