Chapter 572: Scaring people
Does the autumn wind sweep away the fallen leaves......
There was nothing poetic about the battlefield, just blood and corpses, and bursts of roars and howls.
No one knows exactly what happened, and the news they learned was that the king of Chu took the opportunity of Lu Zhe's creation to kill the ministers, and then the king of Chu ran away while Lu Zhe didn't react.
The seven members of the Xiang family were all killed, and the king of Chu ran at night, which revealed layers of weirdness, but the Qin army suddenly took the initiative to attack, and the countries had no intention of studying it at all, so they could only resist passively.
From the moment the 100,000 Qin army launched the attack, the 10,000 Lu Zhe army led by Yan Bi happened to arrive at the Zhao army camp.
The Qin army in front suddenly broke out, and 10,000 Lu Zhe's army came at this moment, it was impossible for Zhao to not be nervous, their first reaction was to mobilize the army to surround 10,000 Lu Zhe's army, until Li Zuoche saw Zhao Wangxie and said that Lu Zhe had sent him to marry the princess.
Zhao Wang Xie slipped away at the first moment when the Qin army launched an attack, and he didn't care about marrying now, he only asked what Lu Zhe meant, whether he wanted to join the Qin army to start a war with the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan, and Zhao.
"Your Majesty, how could the King of Han participate in the war at this time, he has already killed the Xiang family and his party for the sake of the heart of the Qin State, and threatened to attack the Chu State!" Li Zuoche said very depressedly.
"Oh, oh, that's good, that's good......" Zhao Wangxi first breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked a little stunned: "Kill Xiang's family?" Wasn't the king of Chu in LΓΌying? It was the Qin people who imprisoned the king of Chu, and then ......"
"No, no, no, the King of Chu has not been imprisoned, he has already rushed back to the Chu military camp in the rear with a group of people from Song Yi," Li Zuoche's face was strange, and he couldn't understand what the situation was, and used a guessing tone: "It seems that the King of Han has some agreement with the King of Chu, or the King of Han didn't notice it ......for a while." He shook his head in a daze: "Maybe it's not right, the King of Han has a cavalry army, and it is not difficult to kill or capture the King of Chu, but I don't know why I let it go." β
Zhao Wang Xie rolled his eyes and said, "Lu Hou sent someone?" Who is the person who came, and is the status noble? β
"Huh?" Li Zuoche was stunned for a moment before replying: "The name of the person who came was originally a Yan person, a confidant of the King of Han." He hesitated for a moment and then reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to change your title, Lu Shizhe is already the king of Han." It's not just Hou anymore. β
"No, no, no," Zhao Wang Xie shook his head: "There is no sacrifice to the sky, there is no declaration of the world, Lu Hou is clearly still a marquis, how can he be a king?" It's not too late to wait for the sacrifice to announce the world and then change its words. Now, hurry up and invite that Yan Bi, and the widow must personally make sure that Lu Hou is not colluding with the Qin State to rest assured. β
There are also some words that Zhao Wangxi did not say, if Lu Zhe and Qin State converged, why did he still marry a daughter. Marrying a person who is an enemy of himself, no matter how strong that person is, it is a big loss, not only a big loss, but also a show of weakness, this kind of thing, Zhao Xie, as a king, is not willing to do it.
Yan Bi soon came. As soon as he came, he saluted deeply to Zhao Wang Xie, and when he stood upright, he saw that Zhao Wang Xie, who was wearing the king's crown clothes, was a little messy, and the crown bead chain on his head was also entangled in the violent activity. It's like I've just run for my life.
"The envoy is exempt," Zhao Wang Xie waved his hand and asked hurriedly, "What happened in your camp?" How can there be a column of arrows fired frequently. Also, why did Lu Hou and Prince Qin meet, was it that Lu Hou and Prince Qin were discussing an alliance? β
Yan Bi was stunned for a while, even if Zhao Wangxi wanted to marry Lu Zhe, he had no right to interfere with what Lu Zhe wanted to do, right? He looked at Zhao Wang Xie strangely, bowed again, and said: "King Zhao, he came to give a dowry according to the agreement on the order of my lord, and he also invited ......."
"Wait a minute, you haven't answered the widow yet." Zhao Wangxi was really impatient, there was a fight ahead, it seemed that the battle was very fierce, how could he be sure whether Lu Zhe was going to join the war, if Lu Zhe also started a war against the coalition army, how could they win the war, why didn't they hurry up and lead the army back to Handan!
"......" Yan Bi looked at Li Zuoche, but saw Li Zuoche's face ashamed, and when he turned to Zhao Wangxie, he almost understood what the situation was, and said with a smile: "King Zhao, it has been very clear that he came to send him off, and my lord is not willing to fight against the soldiers of Zhao State," he said and raised his hand to the position of the 10,000 Lu Zhejun: "He brought 80,000 stone grains, 20,000 weapons of all kinds, treasures, cloths, furs, and medicinal materials," and his expression became stern: "I came to send charcoal in the snow, not to make matters worse." β
"Really? Is it? Zhao Wangxi suddenly shouted at a mighty general: "Nonsense, the virtuous son-in-law is here to send him for employment, how can he send troops to surround him if he can't tell the difference!" β
The general is Zhao Guozhi's general Sima Ang, he arched his hand to Yan Bi helplessly, pulled a crying and laughing expression, and sighed obviously.
Yan Bi smiled back with understanding, the situation of the violent siege and killing of the Xiang family was sudden, and Zhao Wangxie was stunned and reacted violently, which was completely imaginable. He already knew that his army was about to retreat before he came, so he really didn't have much time to waste, and said: "Those supplies are only the first batch, and there will be 220,000 stone grains and 50,000 weapons to be sent in the future." He bowed for the third time and asked, "Does King Zhao continue to fulfill the marriage contract?" β
Zhao Wang Xie relaxed when he heard that Lu Zhe did not mean to go to war, their army of one million against more than 200,000 Qin troops, five times the number of troops in the Qin army, no matter how you look at it, they have a little chance of winning. Now that it is obvious that Lu Zhe wants to continue to make friends with Zhao State, what reason does Zhao State have to give up an increasingly powerful ally? It's just......
"My king is naturally willing to marry, but Ang has one thing to understand." Sima Ang looked at Yan Bi intently: "Zhao Lu will be in-law immediately, the two families are as friendly as this, if Zhao has the disaster of destroying the country, ...... Hou Lu?" β
"This is what King Zhao wants to know?" Yan Bi looked at Sima Ang, and then looked at Zhao Wangxie.
Zhao Wangxi was a little embarrassed, and said reservedly: "The country of in-laws, you should be closer." β
It seems that Zhao Guo is really not optimistic about attacking Qin at all, but he can't do it, and he is thinking of retreating before he really attacks Qin.
Yan Bi said solemnly: "My lord has already shown that he will not watch the Zhao State being persecuted by the Qin State, but at present, my lord is not only attacking Lingnan, but also starting the battle to destroy Chu, and he can't get away for the time being." But ......" changed the conversation: "The crown prince Fusu has clearly informed that Emperor Qin selected the ninth princess Yang Zi to marry my lord, so my lord is in a dilemma. β
And those who talk like this? What don't you want to see who is persecuted, but you can't get away with it or something, and finally say that the two countries will be in-laws, it is obvious that the two will not help each other, so Zhao Guo's marriage strategy is not useless.
"I can't say that," Yan Bi looked at Sima Ang: "Qi Guoyan zhΓ²ng provoked my lord, my lord intended to send troops to teach the Qi country that no one in his eyes was, but the alliance between the Qi State and the Zhao State, my main attack on Qi will inevitably hurt the feelings of the Zhao and Lu families, and it is even more likely that they will meet on the battlefield, so they stubbornly endure the provocation of the Qi State." β
"Lu Hou is already so strong?" Sima Ang looked displeased.
"It is not up to us whether we are strong or not, but whether anyone can overcome our master." Yan Bi can be regarded as finding an opportunity to show his strength: "Qi Yan's so-called elite, under the equal strength of the army, it will only be wiped out in less than three hours, and our army will only be killed in 931 battles, and 1,801 people will be lightly and seriously injured. Farther away, there were more than 800,000 Baiyue who hated under the blade of our army's Xiaoguo, and the Chu State lost more than 200,000 troops in the First World War, and only two counties remained. β
Xiaoguo is a name for brave and warlike warriors, which has appeared since the Shang Dynasty, and this name was the most popular during the Sui Dynasty, but after the Sui Dynasty, because the Yuwen family led the Xiaoguo rebellion and killed Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Xiaoguo was no longer used by the dynasty.
As Lu Zhe gradually became stronger, and what happened before spread more widely, the countries suddenly realized that Lu Zhe's strength was really not boasted, but based on Baiyue's corpse mountain and sea of blood and the weakness of the Chu State. It is precisely because of this that Qi Guo will not be convinced and pull Yan Guo to invite Lu Zhe to hunt, Qi Yan proposed to hunt originally to give Lu Zhe an undesirable lesson, but he didn't expect that the lesson would not succeed but the end of the whole army being wiped out.
After seeing the strength of Lu Zhejun with his own eyes, who would dare to provoke him? Especially Qi, Yan, and Zhao have the great enemy of Qin, who is really willing to let the situation worsen at present? It is obviously unwise to provoke Lu Zhe now, and it is wise to woo Lu Zhe to his camp at any cost. And it seems that how to pull together? If you can't win over, you won't be the enemy, which is the most realistic.
"Count, naturally count!" Zhao Wangxie is not willing to let good things turn into bad things, Lu Zhe and Lu Zhe don't help each other, it's better than Lu Zhe standing on the side of Qin. He smiled and said, "I am extremely happy to get such a virtuous son-in-law. His envoy conveyed a few words on behalf of the widow, not only the Qin State has a good horse, but also the Zhao State, if the virtuous son-in-law wants a good horse, the widow will definitely sell it to the virtuous son-in-law at a more favorable price than the Qin State. β
Yan Bi accepted it when he saw it, bowed down and saluted: "The minister will not change a word and relay it to the Lord." β
"In addition, Xin'er can't be shabby when she marries, except for the originally negotiated dowry, the widow decided to add more!" Zhao Wangxie said it loudly: "In addition to the original dowry, the widow has decided to marry another 50,000 soldiers and the corresponding generals," pointing to Li Zuoche, "He will also stay under the command of the general as a dowry general." β
"......" Yan Bi blinked frequently, and after reminiscing, he could guess what Zhao Wangxi wanted to do.
Zhao's army was already insufficient, and Zhao Wangxie's taking out 50,000 soldiers to marry was not crazy, and 50,000 soldiers as a dowry was nothing compared to the examples of more marrying people in history. He increased the dowry, firstly, to express the importance of marriage, and secondly, the 50,000 soldiers and the corresponding marrying generals can always learn something under Lu Zhe and give feedback to Zhao Guo, right? Well, even if you don't learn anything, but if these people join Lu Zhe, will they be able to have some accommodation, if one or two of them have made meritorious contributions, it will always affect Lu Zhe, right?
Soldiers can be recruited again, and generals can be reconvened from the feudal monarchs, but once some things are missed, they are missed, so King Zhao is resting! (To be continued......)
