Chapter 616: Each Carries a Ghost
"Don't be anxious, don't worry, reckless actions may lead to disaster, now the King of Qi has not rejected our proposal, if you start a war rashly, wouldn't it be a loss to the soldiers, and the gains outweigh the losses?"
Wang Xi couldn't stand the questioning of Zheng Hao and Cui Zhang, but now King Zhao really couldn't draw troops and horses to deal with Xiao Ming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
So when he came, King Zhao instructed him to try his best to make Xiao Ming give in through coercion, and if he couldn't, he would drag it out until the war in Shu was over.
"Wait again, if you wait any longer, you will miss the opportunity, and I will wait for the vassal country to be in danger!" Cui Zhang's face showed an anxious look, he was most anxious about these three people.
Now that Xiao Ming has swallowed the thirteen states of Wei, the Yan State adjacent to Wei State is the first to bear the brunt, and when Xiao Ming suddenly took Jinling City, the spies spread the news to Bozhou.
At that time, King Yan was shocked, although King Yan believed that this truce contract could only limit Xiao Ming for a period of time, but he didn't expect that he would tear up the contract in just half a year.
According to King Yan's idea, he was going to use the arquebuses he obtained from Xiao Ming to build a musket team, but in the past six months, he ordered to recruit craftsmen from all over the country to forge them, and now he has only produced 8,000 arquebuses, which is still far from his goal.
So he immediately sent envoys to discuss the matter with Zhao and Liang, trying to further weaken Xiao Ming or even completely destroy Qi.
"We can't wait any longer, if King Zhao refuses to send troops, Liang is willing to form an alliance with Yan and jointly raise troops to defeat Xiao Ming, now Xiao Ming's only royal family member who threatens us, Xiao Ming will not die for a day, we will not be at peace for a day, we have served the Xiao family for so many years, this country should also be sat by us in turn." Zheng Hao's words were very explicit, completely tearing off the disguise on the surface of the three of them.
He knew very well that the royal family was already yesterday's yellow flower, and in the vassal kingdom, they no longer called themselves vassal kings, but directly called themselves kings, and the former Yan land, Zhao land, and Liang land became Yan State, Zhao State and Liang State.
For them, even if they don't want the country of Chongqing, they hope to completely get rid of the shackles of the royal family and dominate one side.
But while they were dreaming, Xiao Ming became their nightmare, and a prince who had the ability to unify the Great Chongqing Kingdom was their biggest threat.
"Sure enough, it's still Liang Guo's righteousness." Cui Zhang laughed out loud when he heard this, and he said unceremoniously to Wang Xi: "Wang Shilang, don't think that you can command the world with the thirteen princes in your hands, since the country of Dayu, we have been painstakingly managing our own feudal country, and we know each other what we think in our hearts, if you send troops to Zhao this time, we will still respect King Zhao, but now that you are pushing back and blocking, don't blame us for being disrespectful to King Zhao." ”
Wang Xi showed displeasure on his face when he heard this, and he said coldly: "The prince of the world is a little too much, do you think that King Zhao will stop attacking Shu and attack King Qi because of your words of respecting King Zhao, hmph, the thoughts of your Yan and Liang families King Zhao is clear, if you defeat Xiao Ming, the thirteen states of Wei and Xiao Ming's city will be King Yan's, and King Liang will take the opportunity to attack King Yong and seize Jizhou and other cities, but we can only whip up and act as a thug for you." ”
Cui Zhang and Zheng Hao's eyes flickered, and they were both a little weak-hearted.
As Wang Xi said, they had already taken precautions against King Zhao, and they also had some transactions secretly, but they never thought that King Zhao also had shrewd people around him, and they could see through it at a glance.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Wang Xi continued: "It's not impossible to let King Zhao send troops, as long as you throw troops to help King Zhao capture Shu, we will send troops to fight with you!" ”
Cui Zhang and Zheng Haoju were silent, what is the difference between King Zhao taking Shu and King Qi taking Wei?
"What? Don't dare? ”
Wang Xi was unforgiving, and he knew that King Yan and King Liang had ghosts in their hearts.
"Then what should the king say? Since King Zhao sent Wang Shilang to Qingzhou, it will not be for the Flower Street and Willow Lane, which is chic! Cui Zhang's face was red, and he was obviously angry.
"Poof." Zheng Hao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and he said slightly teasingly; "The prince is joking, Wang Shilang won't go to that kind of place?"
Cui Zhang immediately laughed when he heard this, and Wang Xi's face suddenly turned black like charcoal, no one in the world knew that he was a eunuch, his status was the lowest among the three, and the two of them had never looked down on him.
And the two of them also knew very well that no matter how they laughed, he could only respect King Zhao's wishes.
Holding back his anger, Wang Xi squeezed out a smile, and he said: "King Zhao means that if Xiao Ming does not agree to this condition, the two of you can send troops first, and when we capture Shudi, they will come to support." ”
"The snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman profits, King Zhao is really a good calculation." Cui Zhang snorted coldly.
Wang Xi was not in a hurry, he said: "Shizi, my words are not finished yet, before this, King Zhao will send the only remaining 40,000 cavalry in Chang'an City in order to show his sincerity, now you should believe it." ”
Zheng Hao's eyes turned, and he said to Cui Zhang: "It's not impossible, in my opinion, King Qi doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin, this time we will raise troops together, maybe he will soften when he sees us moving." ”
"Well, that's an idea, tomorrow we will ask this Pang Yukun again, if the king of Qi still avoids it, we will each return to lead the troops to attack." Cui Zhang said.
The three reached a preliminary agreement, Wang Xi left first because of his unhappiness, and Zheng Hao immediately went back to the room to rest.
After the two left, Cui Zhang showed a weird smile, in fact, everything now was within King Yan's plan.
The first of these plans was to connive at Xiao Ming's annexation of Wei, and then he joined forces with other vassal kings to crusade against Xiao Ming and make him hand over the thirteen states.
Next door to Cui Zhang lived Wang Xi, and when he returned to the room, his face suddenly distorted, and he snorted fiercely in the direction of Cui Zhang's room.
"Shaft, sooner or later, the miscellaneous family will chop you up with their own hands." Wang Xi hated it very much in his heart, although King Zhao was ready to send 40,000 cavalry this time, he was not very interested in this alliance, and the reason was that it was only cheaper for Yan and Liang.
Compared with Xiao Ming, what King Zhao is really anxious about is to annex Shu, so that King Zhao can attack and retreat like Qin, and he also has a granary, and from then on, he will win the world.
And at that time, the first thing they did was King Yan, an old treacherous and cunning man.
Cui Zhang and Wang Xi have different thoughts, and Zheng Hao also has his own ideas.
King Zhao and King Liang were both vassal to the barbarians, but King Zhao seized the opportunity, and he was quite unhappy about this, and he wanted to take advantage of this alliance to seize the city of Yongdi to expand his territory.
