Chapter 697: Four Kings Walk Together

In the post house, Xu Chang and Xu Fan, the king of Wuwei Kingdom, had been waiting for a long time.

Zhang Xian left a shadow in Zhu Wei's heart, and he didn't know where to hide for a long time.

"Mr. Xu is fine. ”

Zhang Xian never wanted to take a high-minded posture, and he took the initiative to salute Xu Chang's juniors.

Xu Chang had a look of panic on his face, but he was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly returned the salute.

"The lord of the country is polite, and the old man is ashamed of it. ”

After being polite, Zhang Xian faced Xu Fan at this time.

Xu Fan didn't seem to be snubbed and displeased at all, Zhang Xian worshiped his ancestor first, and he didn't have a little pickiness in terms of etiquette, do you respect the elderly.

After some red tape, the attendants left and everyone took their seats.

Uncle Tai made tea, and Xiao Fei joined the army on behalf of the secretary, because Zhang Hui was sent to Zhang Huizong by Zhang Xian.

In fact, when he went out this time, Xiao Fei acted for several positions, because Zhang Xian didn't let too many people follow.

During the tea tasting, Zhang Xian could see that Xu Fan was a little sad and irritable, and he understood after thinking about it.

Because the several generals who followed Xu Fan were all outstanding people in this anti-Qin war, bringing them was equivalent to sending them to death.

How could this not make Xu Fan sad, but he was helpless.

This is the cornerstone of his revival of the country's prestige.

Zhang Xian knew, but he couldn't talk about it, it was not good to talk too much about other people's affairs.

Just when Zhang Xian was about to ask Uncle Tai to prepare the dinner, the people from the Zongguo country came.

But it was only Xiao Chulong who came by himself.

"Brother Tai, hurry up and prepare some wine and meat, but I'm hungry. ”

After greeting Zhang Xian and the others, Xiao Chulong pulled Uncle Tai with a monkey look on his face and begged.

"Xiao Lao, what's wrong?"

Zhang Xian asked in surprise.

"Alas, don't mention it, I was ordered to go to the Ranshi Pass to support, and then I was ordered by the state to hurry back, this time I came and went, and the old rotten legs were broken, for fear of being left behind by you, I rushed back in time in this starry night. ”

While speaking, Uncle Tai had already asked the curator to bring the banquet up.

"You talk, I'll take a bite first. ”

It seems that Xiao Chulong is indeed hungry, it can really be described as a storm, one person eats and drinks three people's shares, Uncle Tai can't help laughing, and hurriedly orders people to serve some more wine and food.

"Brother Tai, hurry, uh, tea. ”

"Hahaha、、、 you, slow down,"

Uncle Tai brought him tea, Xiao Chulong, who was choking on eating too quickly, took it and drank it all, but Uncle Tai was very happy, and the others wanted to laugh but were afraid that Xiao Chulong would be embarrassed, Uncle Tai said that it was okay, because he had a very good relationship with Xiao Chulong.

"Woohoo、、、 okay, sorry, sorry, "

After breathing a sigh of relief, Xiao Chulong saw that everyone looked at him and didn't move his chopsticks, and he suddenly felt embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. ”

After the banquet, it was dark, and it seemed that I couldn't leave today.

Drinking tea, everyone looked at Xiao Chulong.

"Ahem,"

wiped his old face, the performance just now really made him a little embarrassed, and he couldn't adjust it for a while.

"Brother Xiao, let's talk about it. ”

"Say what?"

Xu Chang's words made Xiao Chulong not react.

"Messy Stone Pass. ”

"Ah?、、h ”

Xiao Chulong finally came back to his senses.

"Ranshi Pass, alas, the battle at Ranshi Pass is stalemate, it can be said that it is very tragic, the barbarians attack desperately day and night, and both sides have suffered heavy losses, how to say? It's a war of attrition, the barbarians' general means don't seem to be able to break through the city pass for the time being, but the rebellious Central Plains monks have caused a huge threat to the city pass, if it weren't for the arrival of reinforcements and galloping masters from various countries, it's really hard to say how long the coalition can last, when I left, according to Qin Kang of the Qin State, it seems that there are five Central Plains monk forces among the barbarians, and they wait for the barbarians to stop their offensive, and they will kill them, using wheel warfare, when I was in the time, the four forces took turns to play, and they also attacked day and night, so we were exhausted, and there were casualties recently, both sides。

But our side has suffered a lot of losses, the great masters of the Bashu Kingdom, the Luofei Kingdom, the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, the Southern Qi Kingdom and so on are five dead and four injured, and they only have three dead and two injured, oh, by the way, you Li Lao of the Xia Kingdom owes him a lot of favors, and he saved our two masters at the critical moment, well, and the people of your Wuwei Kingdom, they were also taken care of by Li Lao, otherwise they would have been killed by someone long ago if they were at the beginning of their divine master cultivation. ”

How can there be so many masters in Wuwei Kingdom, the two masters of the beginner level of the divine master, and the two uncles of Xu Fan's aunt.

And there are not many masters in the Zongye Country, not counting Xiao Chulong in the realm of divine masters, there are only three of them, and this time two were sent out, four holy masters, and three thousand people.

However, the realm of the people in Zongye Country is not high, but the combat power value is very high, the beginner master of the divine master, with all his strength, is completely capable of overturning a peak master of the divine master, of course, after the war, I am afraid that even half a life will be left.

"The situation is so dire!. ”

Except for Zhang Xian, everyone showed a sad look.

"The State of Qin has sent a large number of masters to prepare reinforcements for the Chaos Stone Pass, this is what Qin Kang said, as for whether it is true or not, this has to wait for the result. ”

Xiao Chulong explained.

"Oh, by the way, Old Xiao, why hasn't Brother King Jing come yet?"

Zhang Xian doesn't listen to the affairs of the Ranshi Pass now, he now knows the situation of the Ranshi Pass, but he has not yet received news from Yan Xi, and he does not really understand the true purpose of those Central Plains monks.

"The lord of the country is waiting in Bian Yang City. ”

Brother King Jing is Xiao Jing, the king of Zongye Kingdom.

Bian Yang City is a border city of the original Shangcheng State, close to Shuangyu Pass, which is the income obtained after the war after the anti-Qin war.

Xiao Chulong originally disapproved of wanting this city, and he suggested that Xiao Jing ask for more material benefits.

But Xiao Jing may have been a little greedy, so Bian Yangcheng returned to the Zongye State.

The territory of Zongye is now like a short-legged elephant, but the tail is too long.

And this tail is Jiangbei Beiwuling City - Jixi City, and now there is an extra Bian Yang City.

Bian Yang City is a narrow strip of land, close to the Li River, the north belongs to the Baling Kingdom, half of the Baling Kingdom is occupied by the Chaoyang Dynasty, or come back, under the instigation of the Bashu Kingdom, occupy one-third of the territory of the Shangcheng Kingdom, which is not counting the Bashu Kingdom income given to them.

In fact, the Baling Kingdom divided almost half of the territory of the Shangcheng Kingdom, and the rest was divided by the Suli Kingdom, the Sushan Kingdom and the Zongye Kingdom, and the Wuwei Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom did not ask for it.

Wu Weiguo is not able to go to Jiangbei to occupy a place, what he needs is material, because this time they spent a lot of money to resist Qin, and the poor are about to go bankrupt.

Xia Guo had already proposed that he didn't want a point.

Xiao Jing of Zongguo was finally not completely carried away by the victory, and only needed a city.

Shangchengguo is indeed a good place, the climate is suitable, the land is fertile, there are many plains, it is a high-yield grain treasure land, but the strategic location has brought disaster to it.

It is adjacent to the Xiongshi Qin State in the north, and the Baling State in the mountainous and hilly area in the west.

To the east is the country of Suli, although it is not good at invading other countries, but it is not easy for others to attack him, and it is also mountainous, and there is a Chen River separated by it.

To the northeast, Sushan is attached to Suli, and is separated by the Chen River, so if Qin does not attack Li or fight Suli, they are not willing to enter Sushan.

Then if the Qin State wants to conquer the Wuwei State in the southeast, the Southern Barbarian State, and the Xia State, which is the most taboo for the Qin State, the Shangcheng State will become the only way.

On the other hand, if the Xia Kingdom is competing for hegemony in the world, it must also be from the Shangcheng Kingdom as a breakthrough.

Strategically speaking, Shangcheng is the battlefield of the great powers' conquest and the place of great evil.

Crossing the Li River the next day, Zhang Xian chose to take the waterway from Poyang Lake, he did not want to take the territory of Suli Kingdom.

But in Poyang Lake, he met Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen is now the king of the Southern Barbarians.

With the secret help of Zhang Xian, relying on Zhao Weimin's force, he killed the first king, and after a purge, he is now firmly on the throne.

He also set off to Jianye City.

He left his henchmen, Xiangguo Zhao Taiping, to guard the house, and took Zhao Weimin, the protector of the country, and more than a dozen generals, a number of ministers, and two thousand guards to rent a few merchant ships of the Lingxiao Chamber of Commerce, and prepared to cross the Chen River by water.

I didn't want to meet Zhang Xian and Xu Fan at Poyang Lake.

Zhao Wen had mixed feelings in the face of Zhang Xian.

He was first hostile to Zhang Xian, but also an enemy, because his brother Zhao Wu was killed by Zhang Xian's calculation, and he wanted to avenge his brother, not only suffered heavy losses but also became Zhang Xian's prisoner.

Later, he was an important minister of the Xia Kingdom for a period of time, and then Zhang Xian helped him return to China and seize the throne.

Now he doesn't know whether to be grateful to Zhang Xian or hate Zhang Xian, it's very contradictory.

But he knew very well that he couldn't offend Zhang Xian, and with Zhang Xian's current strength, it would not be difficult to destroy his Southern Barbarian Country.

And the mood of his protector Zhao Weimin is even more indescribable.

He could nostrils facing the sky in the Southern Barbarian Country, and it could be seen that Zhang Xian had to lower his head and look very respectful.

He also wanted to raise his head, but he was really afraid of Zhang Xian in his heart.

Zhang Xian was escorted by a large ship of the navy, and since Zhao Wen met him, he also asked to go with Zhang Xian.

Well, the kings of the three vassal states have come together.

A few days later, he picked up Xiao Jing again and became the king of the four countries.

The people of the four countries gathered together, more than 10,000 horses, thousands of miscellaneous servants, and colorful flags, and walked mightily in the occupied area of Baling.

Balingguo was not rude, and warmly entertained them along the way, sending them out of the country as a gift.

On this day, they came to Kan City, the border of Qin.

Kancheng was once plagued by the Shenwei Army, as well as Yucheng.

Until now, Kancheng, which was once very prosperous, is still in a depression.

The Kancheng officials were very reluctant to welcome them into the city.

After settling in, they all withdrew.

They were enemies, but because of the alliance, they did not dare to snub the lord of the four countries.

After the official business, I don't want to face it.

Zhang Xian and Xiao Jing had never met before, and the two got along first, although they were not close friends, there was no estrangement, and they spoke casually.

Zhang Xian is more familiar with Xu Fan, Xu Fan is grateful and vigilant, and Zhao Wen is more restrained.

He said little along the way.

"Brother Yuan Yi, when those local officials of the Qin State saw you, their eyes were on fire. ”

In the post office, the four kings drank opposite each other, and Xiao Jing teased Zhang Xian.
