Chapter 518: High Tension (Part II)

Wei and Han already knew that there was a Qin army of 80,000 people marching towards the territory, to be honest, they were really scared enough at the beginning, and they were relieved to get Lu Zhe's reply that it was "illegal" to go to Guanmeng, but Wei Han did not let down his vigilance because of this.

Wei didn't know what the situation was, and when Zhang Liang of Korea learned that there were 80,000 Qin troops marching towards the territory, he immediately asked for orders to go south, saying that he was going to Lü Zhe's camp Chen Qing's interests.

That's right, it's 80,000 Qin troops, not 800 or 8,000 Qin troops, in history, 80,000 Qin troops can easily wipe out Korea, once the Qin army enters the land of Korea, even if it's a temporary foothold and borrowed territory, then how can it be obtained.

Zhang Liang only asked for an audience in the image of a dusty servant when Lü Zhe led his army to a place called Siqi (northwest of the later Gushi) in Hengshan County, and as soon as he saw Lü Zhe, he immediately burst into a tirade.

Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, many times in history is the pretense of the alliance to destroy the family, the worst and most famous time, although it did not destroy the country, but also arrested the king of Chu, and used the deceived and captured king of Chu as a threat to extort a lot of land in Chu.

King Chu Huai? Isn't King Chu Huai a bear heart? How could you be tricked into meeting the alliance and being captured? Lu Zhe was a little baffled, thinking that Zhang Liang was talking about the capture of Xiong Xin by the Qin State this time.

"King Chu Huai! Lu Hou is the king of Chu Huai who was captured by the Qin State under the pretense of meeting the alliance, and then captured by despicable means, so as to blackmail the Chu State to cede the counties of Wu and Qianzhong. Zhang Liang patiently became a history teacher for Lu Zhe.

It turned out to be something that had already happened, not something that was about to happen. Lu Zhe listened and bowed, Qin Guo's credit has always been really famously poor, and he reversed his word in the form of a scheme, and he didn't do less things about promising the front foot and regretting it on the back foot, he could understand why Zhang Liang reacted so much.

"During the period of the Jin Mourning Duke, the Qin general Qiang Song took advantage of the time when Zhao Wuzi led the army to conquer the Chu State, and led 120,000 Qin troops to enter the Wei Land of the Jin State from the west. Burning, killing and looting along the way, showing the brutal methods of animals, and doing everything to the extreme......" Zhang Liangqing was very excited, and continued to talk.

Lu Zhe was very attentive to listening, he had a little study of military history, of course he knew that the Qin people were the first to slaughter civilians in Chinese history, otherwise the countries would have carried out a war of "conquest" before that.

The so-called "conquest" is not a war that starts for the purpose of destroying a country, but is actually a kind of war to subdue a certain country and then levy money and food from it. This kind of war is not aimed at killing. It is not for the purpose of destroying the country, so in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, you can always see that kind of polite war, the two sides agree on which piece of land to fight, and the battle is also aimed at the killing of soldiers, and never point weapons at the common people.

The Qin State in Zhang Liang's mouth is very bad and bad, and the Qin people should fight as much as they can, and the general meaning is to implore Lu Zhe to find a way to prevent the 80,000 Qin troops from entering the territory of Korea, otherwise the consequences are really unpredictable.

"Mr. Zhang." After hearing the story, Lu Zhe signaled Zhang Liang not to get excited, and then said: "The general and lieutenant under the command of Benhou have been closely monitoring the movements of the Qin army. Something about Qin Jun. Negotiations are already underway, why don't you stay in the camp for the time being? ”

Zhang Liang was naturally willing to stay, and what he should have said was almost finished, so it depended on Lu Zhe's decision.

Of course, Lu Zhe also thought that the excitement of the 80,000 Qin troops going to the meeting alliance was exaggerated. In addition to letting the communist lieutenant lead the army to closely monitor, he was also negotiating whether Meng Yi could reduce the number of troops who went to the Shenguan Alliance.

Meng Yi is blunt, the number of Qin troops going to Shen can naturally be reduced, but Lu Zhe needs to endorse the Qin State.

If you want the Qin army to reduce its size, you need endorsement. Without endorsement, the Qin army will not reduce the number, and it seems to be stuck in a dead circle that is difficult to figure out.

Of course, Lu Zhe can't promise to protect Meng Yi and his party, if he promises to protect. What will the nations think? It should be thought that Lu Zhe and the Qin State have reached some understanding, and then whether Lu Zhe and the Qin State are reconciled or cooperated, in short, Lu Zhe is going to stand on the side of the Qin State and start a war with the other countries.

It turned out that there was no need to talk about it at all, since Lu Zhe did not promise to protect, then except for the war to destroy the Qin army, otherwise he was not qualified to care how many people Meng Yi wanted to bring.

"Woe to you, woe to you!" It was difficult for Zhang Liang to understand what Lu Zhe was thinking, as if he was laughing and mocking: "Lu Hou, if you participate in the battle of the Central Plains, I am afraid that you will start with the Shenzhi Alliance." ”

Mock? Lu Zhe couldn't see what Zhang Liang meant, that was the favorite expression of the scribe when he launched persuasion, and many times he would laugh "hahahahahaha...... as the opening remark.

Sure enough, Zhang Liang was really laughing, and only after laughing did he bow deeply: "The Qin State is here to make trouble, they are here to make trouble!" Does Lu Hou want to watch the Qin State make trouble? ”

Lu Zhe was a little speechless, he also understood what Qin Jun would make if he went to be cautious, but what could he do? He said: "If the Qin State is against Wei Han, I will fulfill the alliance and wage war against the Qin State." ”

Zhang Liang heard it, and what Lu Zhe meant was that it didn't matter if the alliance was held or not, but the covenant between the suzerainty and the vassal state should be determined in written form, and the king of Wei, the king of Han, and Lu Zhe would also announce the world, so that Lü Zhe would have a reason to fulfill the covenant when a war broke out between Wei and Han, and he would have the obligation to send troops to participate in the war.

Of course, South Korea hopes that the alliance can be signed, and at the same time, Zhang Liang is not afraid that Lu Zhe will not be saved, and South Korea has long been psychologically prepared, saying that it is difficult to hear that South Korea can only survive peacefully by holding Lu Zhe's thick legs, and even if there is no Qin State without Lu Zhe's protection, Qi State and Chu State will definitely annex Korea.

"This is the covenant written by my king." Zhang Liang was too single, and as soon as Lu Zhe's words were finished, he took out the covenant, so fast that Lu Zhe couldn't see how he took it out. He said, "My king has signed and sealed," he said, making a gesture of dedication, "and asked Lu Hou to look at it." After speaking, he handed it to Mammo.

Lu Zhe really didn't see where Zhang Liang took out the covenant with Huang Juan as a material, and took the covenant from Meng San after being a little stunned. He looked at it very carefully, word by word, and it was obvious that Korea had been infiltrated to a certain extent, and the formal covenant already had punctuation marks on it for segmentation, and the text was also in a left-to-right format, no longer the top-down format.

In the covenant, Han Wang Cheng wrote clearly and in detail about the obligations and responsibilities of both parties, and the amount of taxes that should be paid each year was also determined according to the amount agreed in advance. At the same time, as the protectorate of Lü Zhe, Korea was also obliged to send troops to help the war when the war broke out in the suzerain, and the scale of the troops sent could not be less than one-third of the total number of Korean troops.

Of course, what obligations does South Korea, the protected party, have, then what responsibilities will Lu Zhe, as the protector, also have. The clause in the covenant that Lü Zhe has the responsibility to guarantee that South Korea will not be invaded is very clear, but unlike Lü Zhe, whether it is active or passive to break out into war, South Korea has the obligation to send troops, and the covenant does not write down who South wants to attack Lü Zhe must send troops, but let Lü Zhe, as a protector, decide whether to send troops to participate in the war.

One of the things in the covenant is also more detailed, which can be regarded as a kind of self-protection as a weaker party, so it is clearly stated that Korea has the right to agree whether to continue to accept the protection of Lu Chul when necessary. However, there is another explanatory clause below, that is, the dissolution of the covenant requires the consent of both the protected and protected parties.

In general, this covenant is still very fair and just in the past and in the present era, after all, as long as the protected party is not overly oppressed by the protector, they are naturally happy to see their protector as strong as possible, so it is the natural obligation of the protected person to help the protector strengthen financially and in terms of military strength.

Lu Zhe confirmed that the covenant did not need to be discussed anymore and immediately signed and sealed, which can be regarded as a literal confirmation of the alliance between the two sides.

Waiting for the covenant to be confirmed, Zhang Liang immediately showed a relaxed expression, and finally had the heart to tell everything he knew.

The news that 80,000 Qin troops were marching through Nanyang County to the meeting place had spread all over the world, and at the same time, Wei Bao, the minister of Wei, was on high alert, and he also rushed to Lu Zhe's camp with hindsight.

When the four kingdoms of Qi, Yan, Zhao, and Chu received that 80,000 Qin troops were marching towards the site of the alliance, they each made similar moves.

The armies of Qi and Yan, which had already marched towards Shen, immediately stopped, and in addition to the existing army, a 200,000-strong Qi army and a 100,000-strong Yan army did not know where to come from, rushed to meet the previous troops, and showed a menacing posture, and then continued to march towards Shen.

In addition to the 200,000 that originally participated in the Ming side of the Huimeng, Zhao Guo also suddenly appeared 100,000 on the side of Dongjun, and they did not continue to march to Shen after the rendezvous, but stopped at Teng County (also called Teng County in later generations) in Xue County, and sent people to unite the country, including sending people to find Lu Zhe, it seems that they will continue to go south after getting something certain.

The news about the state of Chu does not need to be told by Zhang Liang, after all, the road borrowed by the Chu army was borrowed from Lu Zhe, and the movements of the Chu army were naturally under the close attention of Lu Zhe. The state of Chu also made a move to stop, but I don't know if it was because it didn't prepare the troops in advance or held back, but no new Chu army emerged behind.

"The new round of the battle of the Central Plains is to be carefully rehearsed." Zhang Liang's face was not worried, but it was not much better: "Can you control the armies of various countries from fighting cautiously?" ”

"Hmm???" Lu Zhe looked at Zhang Liang with strange eyes, he was not the overlord of the universe who took the country name Han like in later generations, how could he have the ability to control other countries.

Zhang Liang is also struggling, 400,000 Qi State, 130,000 Yan State, 300,000 Zhao State, 100,000 Chu State, 80,000 Wei State, 30,000 South Korea, 80,000 Qin State, 250,000 Lu Zhe's side, so many troops gathered in one place, to be honest, no one can really control it. (To be continued......)
