Chapter 182: The Four Kings Gather Together
The general Yu Wenlie and the 600,000 central army are still entangled in the Longxi of Yan State, with the current momentum of the Feng Army, the possibility of breaking through to Anze is too great, if it comes to that time, Zhang Guoke will be in danger.
After calming down, the severe cold, in the case of necessity, can only be sent into the Lian country, at the cost of a county, to ask the Lian king Wu Jin to come forward, or temporarily stabilize the wind country, or mediate the matter of the Hedong fire.
Just like Yan Han said, even Wang Wu Jin is an extremely greedy person, and after the envoy explained the conditions for mediation, Wu Jin almost didn't even think about it, and patted his chest on the spot and agreed.
And in his opinion, although he has never dealt with the Wind King Lu Chen, but a barren and small country like the Wind Country, with the strength of the Wind Country, with his status as the King of the Wind Country, should come forward to mediate this matter, it should still be nine out of ten.
Half a month later, Lu Chen, who was far away on the border of Fengzhang, received a handwritten letter from Lianwang Wu Jin.
At this time, Lu Chen, not long after leading the army through Hedong County, was in the big tent of the Chinese army, discussing with the generals how to break through Zhang Guo's defense line in Anze in one fell swoop.
Feng Guo and Lian Guo Xiang have nothing to do with each other, and Lu Chen was quite surprised to receive King Lian's handwritten letter, but he could vaguely guess that it might be related to the battle of Fengzhang this time. He temporarily stopped the discussion with the generals, stood in front of the sand table and directly unfolded the letter, and raised his eyes to read it.
After he finished reading, his brows furrowed.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and before people could say anything, Lu Chen had already put away the letter and took the lead in speaking:
"This is the letter from King Lian to this king......"
"King Lian?" Everyone frowned, and looked at each other puzzled, Xiao Wang couldn't help but ask, "King, but Lian Guo wants to intervene in this matter?" ”
"It's still unclear, but King Lian suddenly invited this king to Seoul in Chu at this time, and the letter only said about it, and nothing else was mentioned." Lu Chen said.
Xiao Wang said: "The king, King Lian's intentions are unknown, and Seoul is more than a thousand miles away from here, so the king can use the excuse that he is busy with affairs and has no time to separate himself to put this matter away." ”
When Lu Chen heard this, he glanced at him and said, "Even if the king doesn't send a letter to invite, if this king doesn't go, won't he directly pat his face and anger him?" ”
As he spoke, he said again: "Now that the Fengzhang War is about to break out, it would not be wise to offend King Lian at this time." Moreover, this king thinks that this invitation to King Lian is very likely to be for the battle of Fengzhang, and it is better for this king to go, if he doesn't go, wouldn't it just give King Lian an excuse to find fault. ”
Hearing this, Sima Wen arched his hand and said: "The king is extremely worried, and the minister also thinks that the king should go to the invitation of King Lian. First, since King Lian chose the location of the meeting in Hancheng, Chudi, it shows that King Lian has no intention of harming him. Second, when the king goes, even if the king wants to say or do something, the king can choose to agree or disagree, and if he does not go, he will definitely offend the kingdom. ”
"That's right, that's exactly what the king had in mind."
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he looked at the people in the tent for another week, and then ordered: "Listen to the order!" On this trip, this king only takes one of Wuyue's 10,000 cavalry, and the other departments are on standby, ready to attack Zhang at any time, as for all matters in the army, General Xiao should be the main one! ”
"Obey the king's orders." Everyone returned in unison.
After explaining some other trivial matters, the next day, Lu Chen took Liang Xiao and Wu Yue, together with 10,000 light cavalry, and began to set off towards Hancheng of Chu State.
Chudi Hancheng is located in the southeast of Lingnan in the Wind Country, and is also located in the southwest of the Zhang Kingdom, directly west of the Lian Kingdom.
It is the junction of wind, Chu, Zhang, and Lian, the four countries.
Even Wang Wu Jin chose the location of the meeting here, which shows his good intentions.
And the people attending the meeting in Seoul this time are not only Lu Chen, the king of wind, but also King Yan Han of Zhang, and the king of Chu who wants to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, which can be said to be the gathering of the four kings.
After several days of traveling, Lu Chen arrived in Seoul.
And the person in charge of receiving him was a civil official of the Chu State, who, in his words, had been waiting for King Feng here for several days.
Fish Viewing Pavilion.
As the name suggests, the pavilion is built in the center of a large lotus pond, connected by several long corridors, and there are four rectangular tables and seats in the pavilion.
If you drink tea or play the piano here, it is still extremely elegant.
Lu Chen temporarily stationed 10,000 iron cavalry outside Hancheng, and then accompanied by Liang Xiao and Wu Yue, under the guidance of the civil officials of the Chu State, came here.
At this time, in the Fish Viewing Pavilion, there were already three men in noble costumes, all of different ages, and when Lu Chen stepped through the corridor and walked quickly to the pavilion, a middle-aged man who was about thirty years old snorted coldly and said:
"The Wind King is really big, let me wait for the three kings, and I've been waiting here for two days."
This person is Zhang Wang Yan Han, when he spoke, his body sat in place and did not move, and continued to pick up the teacup on the table in front of him and blew lightly.
Before Lu Chen could answer, another slightly chubby man stood up from his seat with a haha, and said with a smile:
"Ah, this king has heard for a long time, the Wind King is young and heroic, I can see it today, sure enough, hurry up, Brother Lu Wang, please take a seat."
This person is Lian Wang Wu Jin, who sent out the invitation to the party this time, and he is almost in his thirties, slightly obese, but his appearance is not ugly, and his eyes are squinted when he smiles.
"Yes, Brother Lu Wang, please take a seat, today I am a royal brother and brother Wang, I can come to my Chu country as a guest, this king is very honored, please ...... quickly" King Chu also got up with a smile and said.
"Forgive me, Brother Rank, the road is far away, this king has been running for days before rushing here, I didn't intend to make Brother Rank King wait for a long time, please forgive me......" Lu Chen also smiled and said.
"Huh? Brother Lu Wang is so polite......"
The fish viewing pavilion is very large, with four rectangular cases, which are divided into four directions.
Under the polite greetings of King Lian and King Chu, Lu Chen sat down opposite Yan Han.
"This is the best tea that is a specialty of my Chu country, how can Brother Lu taste it, come, drink tea first, drink tea......"
As the landlord, the king of Chu took the lead in speaking, but before he could finish speaking, King Yan Han of Zhang had already sneered, staring at Lu Chen with his eyes, and insinuated:
"Dare to ask the Wind King, if you are invited to come this time, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to go back?"
The threat of his words is so obvious that even a fool can hear it.
But the other two kings didn't seem to hear it, and they still tasted tea with a teacup, and at the same time glanced at Lu Chen with the corner of their eyes.
"Oh? Could it be that Brother Chu wants to be unfavorable to this king? Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yan Han, and asked with a smile.
"Hmph, although it is in Chudi, if this king wants to take your life, it is also a matter of action!" Yan Han continued to say coldly.
"Haha-" Hearing this, Lu Chen looked up and smiled.
"What are you laughing at!?"
"This king is laughing at you!"
As he spoke, Lu Chen stood up, looked at Yan Han with his eyes, opened his arms, and said menacingly:
"Today, if this king makes any mistakes in Seoul, I will raise the whole country's army to fight against it! This king is here! Do you dare to touch a single hair of this king!? ”
