Chapter Ninety-Nine: Tacit Understanding

The feast dispersed before dark, before the Qiang had recounted in detail the grievances between the Chu and Qin. Hearing that King Chu Huai was deceived and imprisoned in Xianyang by the Qin people, and was unwilling to cut the land and finally die, some chieftains couldn't help beating their chests and shouting. The Xia people are untrustworthy, and the Qiang people have long known, but the Xia people are so shameless, especially the Xia people are so shameless to the Xia people, and they are really angry after hearing it. Seeing that the Qiang people were angry and angry with the ancestor of the king, the knights of the Chu army also had a lot of good feelings towards them.

When the feast was dispersed, most of the grain and straw that the Qiang people had brought with them when they came, and twenty-seven dragon horses and the rest of the armor returned. The uninhabited villages occupied by the knights could be used as habitats, and the wooden houses were certainly not enough, so the Qiang promised to send some Pippen in a few days. But Pippen is only temporary, the weather will get colder and colder, the Qiang people can sleep on Pippen or even Pippen, the Chu Zhao knight can't stand this suffering, he must cut down wood and build a house, this is the matter of the sappers.

"The king really wants to teach the Qiang people the sword and shield formation?" Watching his mount eat the barley sent by the Qiang people, Xiong Jing couldn't help but be a little happy, happy that the soldiers finally had a place to shelter from the winter. Li Bo, who was newly dressed and clean, and Li Qi's uncle and nephew came to see him early in the morning.

"Why don't you teach?" Xiong Jing asked rhetorically. The Romans' sword and shield tactics were also to fight a dozen unstudded cavalry, which was a kind of elimination tactic.

"The Qiang people are Rong people......" Li Bo said, he has always been worried about this.

"I waited thousands of years ago, maybe I was also a Rong person." Xiong Jing smiled. "Jin Kingdom, isn't it?"

"This?" The State of Zhao was separated from the State of Jin, and there were many people from the Rong people in the State of Jin.

"The formation given by the king is really sharp, and when it is used in the mountains, it is the Zhao army, and it is not its match." Li Qi also said: "However, the Qiang people are the mortal enemies of the Qin people, and the Qiang people are unrivaled in my favor." ”

"That's the Zhao people's spear formation method is not well learned." Xiong Jing looked at Li Qi and shook his head. The tactics of the spear array column can be learned by the Yue people, but the Zhao people, the Wei people, and the Qi people can't learn it. This naturally led him to think of a strange theory: any country that is good at football is either a remnant of a feudal state or a remnant of a feudal state (or tribe). The game is similar to a battle in that the players are actually knights.

The feudal or tribal attributes of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Qi were too few, and they could not learn the column tactics that required high requirements for organization (cohesion), coordination, and honor, and finally trained the spear formation into a horizontal formation like the Macedonians, so that the Chu army officers who went to teach the spear formation scratched their heads and had nothing to do.

Xiong Jing's accusation made Li Qi a little ashamed, and he stubbornly said: "The king's intention, the spear formation method is stronger than the sword and shield?" ”

"What do you think?" Xiong Jing asked rhetorically again, "The formation and tactics are adapted to local conditions, how can a certain formation be stronger than a certain formation?" Xiong Jing didn't want to bother talking again, so he asked directly: "How is Zhao Jun now?" ”

"I heard that if you don't fight with the Qiang people, you have to drink and eat the Qiang people, and Zhao Jun is safe." Li Bodao.

"If you drink and make trouble, you must strictly abide by military discipline." Yesterday, Xiong Jing confessed that he wanted to take military discipline seriously, and now he has confessed again.

"The last general has repeatedly affirmed military discipline." Li Qi said: "However, the soldiers are full of food every day, and the land of Qin is three hundred miles away......

"Then go to the wood and build the house, and if you can't do it, you will go to build a boat." The Qiang people raise horses, and they can buy the horses of the Qiang people to return to Zhao in the spring of next year, and it is no longer necessary to build a boat, but in order to let the soldiers have something to do, they can also build a boat.

"Tell the king, it's not our trouble, it's ......" Li Qi couldn't reach his meaning, and Li Bo had to add an explanation. We have received the king's life-saving grace, so we are willing to repay the king in case of emergency. The soldiers heard that the young son was still in Qin, and he was willing to enter Qin again. ”

In the battle of Huangshui, there were only more than 100 people left in the Zhao army, and most of these people were lieutenants and colonels. The Qin realm is three hundred miles to the east, and entering Qin again is both to repay the favor and to take revenge. Xiong Jing was stunned when he heard this, and only said: "Let's discuss this matter later." ”

How much is there after the tolerance? Hearing that the King of Qin was not dead, the knights of the Chu army were preparing to enter Qin again to rob people, and the Chu army shouted Zhao Jun followed. Xiong Jing detoured from the north of Beidi County of Qin State to the west of Beidi County, and also planned to enter Qin again. However, the Qin people were already alert, and if they wanted to enter Qin again, it was impossible without accurate information. And the number of people must be small, small enough to sneak.

At noon on a sunny day, a pigeon flew out of the wooden house in Qiangdi and flew far southeast. When the pigeon arrived in Yingdu, it was already the lunar month. The king is not in Yingdu, and the lap sacrifice is naturally presided over by the old man of the clan, which is not the first time. But what is worrying is the whereabouts of the king, life and death, no carrier pigeons flying, if it is not auspicious, it means that the king has not yet settled.

Seeing the carrier pigeon on this day, the whole Ying breathed a sigh of relief. In Ruoying's palace, Concubine Zhao, who had finished reading the pigeon news, began to shed tears again, and she complained: "The king still wants to enter Qin to welcome that woman." ”

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother, the last time it was the Zhao people who leaked the secret, and now there is no Zhao people who leak the secrets, and there will be no loss of one." Hou Spy's sacrifice is valuable, at least I know that Bisi has found out that it was Zhao Jian Xinjun who lost the secret.

"......" I heard that it was Zhao Ren who lost the secret, Concubine Zhao couldn't believe it, but seeing the attitude of Zhu Ao present, she had to believe it. Can't let the king return to China quickly? She asked weakly.

"The Queen Mother, it is very cold outside the Saiwai, and the king does not go north but south into the Qiang land, but spends the winter in the Qiang land." Cheng Jiedao. "And the things of carrier pigeons can only fly from Qiang to Yingdu, not Yingdu to Qiangdi."

"The old woman doesn't care about the rest, the old woman just needs the king to return to the country safely." Concubine Zhao was not only powerless, but also helpless.

"The ministers will do their best to bring the king back in peace." Seeing Concubine Zhao like this, Zhao Huang immediately glanced at Zhu Ao, and everyone retired together.

"The king has to be a young man, what if?" Facing the west room, Zhu Ao surrounded and discussed.

"The king is safe, and the minister is worry-free." I was the happiest one to receive the pigeon news, even if it had been found out that the Zhao people had lost the secret, Zhibisi was still quite criticized by the courtiers. "The minister thinks that he should help the king enter Qin again."

"The king is in Qiangdi, and Qiangdi is more than a thousand miles away from Xianyang, how can he enter Qin again?" Cheng Jiedao. "And according to the ceremony, the wearer of the girl is just a receptive dress, and the reins are only three months old, and they can be served after the funeral. Buried next month, married immediately after the funeral, what about the king entering Qin? If you don't do what the king says, so the king doesn't enter Qin, and he can return to China in the spring of tomorrow. ”

"Huh?" Don't let me be dumbfounded, "How can I disobey the king's commands?" ”

"You are a minister of the society of the state of Chu, not a minister of the king." Seisuke said loudly. Lan Hao and Dong Ye Gu nodded together when they heard this, Great Elder Song and Luo Kai were silent, and Nao Cunning and Zhao Huang were silent. "You should be a plan for the community, not just for the king. If he helps the king, the king will be in danger when he enters Qin; Knowing that Pisi did not help the king, the king returned home safely. ”

"But ...... don't say that I can't talk about Chengjie, and Nao and Zhao Huang don't support him, and they are speechless for a while.

"In May next year, Qin will be attacked, and the king must enter the land of the old Ying to summon the old Chu people to attack Qin. If the king is lost, what will the old Ying? Seisuke asked further, talking about the imperative battle of the old Ying. When the king returns to China, I will ask the king for his guilt and take the matter seriously. ”

"We will also ask the king for sin." Lan Hao and Higashino Gudao, they are in favor of Seisuke.

"Save my brother, yes; For women, it is impossible. "Great Elder Song's attitude is very clear.

"Indeed, the king should not have done that." Luo Kai observed his words and looks, and saw that Nao was cunning and Zhao Huang had no way to object, and he also agreed.

"This is all because Zhao Ren has no faith." Zhao Huang, who supported Xiong Jing the most, resented Zhao Ren again, and he couldn't understand what Zhao Ren thought. Qin attacked Zhao and killed the king of Qin was beneficial to Zhao, why couldn't Zhao?

"Zhao Ren's matter, Jianxinjun must be severely punished." Cheng Jiedao.

"This matter is definitely not a matter of Jian Xinjun alone," Nao Wei saw it more thoroughly, "This is the matter of Zhao State and one country." If the Zhao people kill the king of Qin, Qin will also attack Zhao again; However, if the Qin people kill the king, our Chu State will attack Qin. Qin Chu fought again, and the Zhao people benefited. ”

"Although the Zhao people are evil, but the Qin people are attacking the Zhao country, what can I do?" Lan Lu said. "If you don't say punish Zhao Guo, you don't save Zhao Guo, and Zhao Guo will also die in Qin. If Zhao Guo dies in Qin, the world will be decided. ”

"If you die in Qin, you will die in Qin." Nao Cunning didn't seem to care about Zhao Guo anymore. "I said earlier that the Zhao State is the Qin State that is not hegemonic, and the Qin State is the Zhao State that has been hegemonized. Qin and Sanjin are not separated from each other. I can be a friend, an ally, a hundred Yue, and a Qiang person. ”

Nao's sly words came out, Cheng Jie looked at him, and Dong Ye Gu, Great Elder Song, Luo Kai and others also looked at him. Saving Zhao is an established national policy, but the Zhao people make everyone annoyed, not only the Zhao people are annoying, but the Qi country that has changed the law also makes people tired.

There is also the State of Wei, the State of Wei is the kind that wants to stand up but can't stand up. The officials of the Wei State are vicious and greedy for money, but if you want to remove all the officials like the Chu State, the common people cannot manage them effectively, not to mention the conscription of soldiers, and the land rent cannot be collected.

And for the meritorious men in the army, the dislike of the aristocratic people is too small, and the land is ugly, and there is no singing and dancing female music, they basically turn back to the beam when they report; The common people were born like the officials, but the difference was that they were more vicious and greedy for money than the officialsβ€”the former officials had already eaten enough, but they had been hungry for half their lives.

In the world, there seems to be no country similar to Chu, but most of them are similar to Qin, but the number of officials in each country is different. This situation made the Chu people very tired, and the voice of not forming an alliance with the Three Kingdoms has always existed, and it is getting louder and louder. Zhu Ao looked at Nao Cunning, and Nao Cunning also looked at Zhu Ao, and a tacit tacit understanding was formed in the eyes.

Handan was still prosperous after the festival, and news of the Da but Qin people came from the front line from time to time, so that everyone rejoiced. Only Xiangbang Zhao Liang was decadent and annoyed all day long, and he messed up everything. He believed that the Chu people would inevitably figure out the ins and outs of this matter, and would definitely take revenge, with the current stormy Zhao State, the price of the Chu people's revenge was likely to be the loss of the country.

However, there are a few traces of luck in his heart: the death of Zhao is good for Qin and bad for Chu, and the Chu people may be patient for the time being. But whether this is really the case, he can't be sure.
