Chapter 362: The Aggrieved Yan Kingdom
Runtu was also excited, and then said: "In that case, then what are you waiting for? Let's go directly out of the valley, and after this village, there will be no more such shops!"
Bai Xiaoya said: "Don't be in a hurry, this Qin Qunian is cunning, if you are not careful, it is likely that we will suffer." ”
Runtu said: "After all, he only has 500,000 soldiers and horses, and if he loses a batch in Yan Kingdom, it is estimated that there will only be two or three hundred thousand remnants left, and we have an army of one million, so we don't have to take him in our eyes at all." ”
Bai Xiaoya said: "Don't you know that he alone can reach a million troops?"
"That's just bragging. ”
Youshan said: "It's just that the stakes are very high, and it is related to the rise and fall of my demon clan, so I really can't be careless." ”
Bai Xiaoya turned his head to look at the eighth master and said, "Eighth master......"
Before he finished speaking, the eighth master seemed to have been pricked by a needle in his buttocks, stood up suddenly, and said hurriedly: "Demon King, I have changed my name, just call me Xiaoba." ”
Bai Xiaoya said: "It doesn't matter. You take a group of men and horses first, go out to explore the way, find a suitable ambush location, and then we will set off again!"
The eighth master hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the demon king, leave this to me!"
Yan Guo.
The five-nation alliance in the south has launched an attack, and the Yan country has a total of only 500,000 soldiers and horses, although the sixteen states of Youyun in the south are the gateway of the Yan country, but the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so there are not many people and horses in peacetime, a total of more than 100,000 people, until the five-nation alliance army is in the city, and another 100,000 people are temporarily dispatched to rush to help, but it is not the opponent of the five-nation alliance.
In such an era, it is still important to pay attention to etiquette and shame, pay attention to the reputation of the teacher, as long as the army is sent to attack people, whether it is justified or not, you must make up a reason, and write a complicated and redundant Long March essay to beg for praise, just like the old lady's footcloth, smelly and long. But this time the five-nation alliance army did not, and when they arrived at the border of Yan State, they didn't care about it, and they came up with a violent beating.
Of course, Yan Guo felt aggrieved, although he wanted to use the False Eye of Heaven to provoke a war in the Central Plains last time, and it seemed that he had also been seen through by others, but after all, there was no evidence for this matter, and it was all about people, so they didn't take it to heart, not to mention that they had just experienced the Battle of Luzon Pass, and everyone was exhausted from the battle, shouldn't they calm down and recuperate? Why do they make such a big move? The key is that they don't seem to be doing it for this matter, which makes Yan Guo puzzled.
Although the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are easy to defend and difficult to attack, after all, the Five Nations Alliance Army has more than one million horses, several times their defenders, not to mention that Lingyang Jun is still in command. Lingyang Jun, without meeting Qin Qunian, is also a very powerful person, completely worthy of his title of the first think tank of Qi State, leading a million army into no man's land, attacking cities and plundering land all the way, invincible.
In fact, when the Five Nations Alliance had just begun to transfer troops, Yan Guo had already found out the news, and he was very nervous, and he was afraid that the envoys would go to Qi State to ask the reason, but Qi State did not bird them at all. Yan Guo had no choice, and sent people to the royal capital to ask the Son of Heaven for help, and the Son of Heaven saw that none of them were pleasing to the eye, and he was like a toilet bowl for the Son of Heaven, and when he was needed, he saw that he was very affectionate, as if without him, there would be no place for, and once he was not needed, he would kick him far away.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, these vassal states conquer each other, which is like a dog biting a dog's hair, and he still likes to see it. What's more, since he was deceived by Qu Nian, his endocrine system has been completely out of balance, and he is angry every day, so he doesn't even bother to waste verbal support for Yan Guo's request for help.
Therefore, the envoys of the Yan State frequently entered and exited the royal capital, not only did they not get any benefits, but they fell into the eyes of Lingyang Jun, that is, the interaction between the Yan Kingdom and the Son of Heaven was frequent, and they must be plotting an unsightly hookup.
Seeing that the sixteen states of Youyun were about to be lost, the capital of Yan State, Beiji, was already in chaos, and was originally going to transfer the 200,000 defenders in the north to the sixteen states of Youyun, but suddenly heard that the 500,000 troops of Qin State had arrived outside Zhenbei Pass in the north.
When King Yan heard the news, he was immediately paralyzed on the fake dragon chair, up and down the government and the opposition, completely without a master, in a mess, and felt that the whole sky had fallen. They really can't understand that the alliance of the five countries came to attack Yan State, maybe because of the incident of the False Eye of Heaven last time, they have resentment and forgiveness, but what are you Qin Guo doing here to make a fuss? Your own family has just experienced civil strife, and your ass has not been wiped clean, shouldn't you stay at home honestly and wipe your ass?
King Yan really wanted to go to Qin State in person and reason with King Qin, but unfortunately the conditions did not allow it.
During the period of the attack of the Five Nations Alliance, King Yan also sent countless envoys to the camp of the Five Nations Alliance, preparing to cede land and sue for peace, after all, this battle was no longer fought, and the Yan State had been defeated like a mountain. Yan Guo believes that wars between countries are a common thing, and under normal circumstances, the losing side cuts off some land and surrenders, and this matter is over. But this time, the Five Nations Alliance didn't seem to look down on the bitter cold place of their family, so they didn't want it at all, and they didn't want to surrender, and when the envoy went, they bombarded it back directly, leaving only one sentence, unless you King Yan came over in person, there was no chance of peace talks.
Of course, the king of Yan did not dare to go over, and the government and the opposition of the Yan State all believed that this time the Five Nations Alliance Army must have colluded with the Qin State and was ready to destroy the Yan State.
Some far-sighted ministers began to secretly arrange their families, pack their belongings, and prepare to leave their hometowns and start the wandering mode. Even King Yan himself began to plot to escape, there was no way to stay in this place, and if he stayed any longer, he would be caught by others.
But since he hadn't started to run away yet, he had to pretend to be strong, and that morning, King Yan and hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the Wenhua Hall to discuss countermeasures. said that it was to discuss countermeasures, but the palace was like a funeral, all of them had sad faces, sighing, and King Yan felt that these civil and military officials were waiting for him to say a word: "Let's run for our lives......
It is estimated that as soon as this sentence was spoken, these civil and military officials must have smeared oil on the soles of their feet, and they ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.
King Yan himself is also sad and remorseful, he would not have been clever if he had known it, and released the news of the False Sky Eye to tease the Central Plains countries, now it's okay, stealing chickens is not a loss of rice.
King Yan looked at the huge sand table in front of him, in the position of the sixteen states of Youyun, it was basically full of red flags, and his heart was cold for most of the time, then he looked at the ministers and said, "Don't you have a good way?"
The ministers shook their heads one after another, and sighed again.
King Yan was no longer surprised, the reason why he asked this sentence, that is, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor, also sighed at this time, and said, "Is my Yan Kingdom about to die in the hands of the widow?"
Seeing the king's sad expression, the ministers' hearts were like knives, and some couldn't help but sobble secretly, they seemed to have seen the scene of the country's ruin.
King Yan said again: "Some time ago, King Qin also encountered such an embattled situation, but that guy gave birth to an excellent son, and one person can turn the tide, God really bless my Yan Kingdom, why can't a widow give birth to such an excellent son?"
Prince Zidan also stood beside him, and when he heard this, he was ashamed. At this time, he couldn't help but say: "Father, the son is willing to go to the front line to supervise the war, and he is willing to live and die with the Yan Kingdom." ”
King Yan shook his head slowly, and sighed: "What's the use? Now that the Five Nations Alliance is like a bamboo, it will be a dead end for you to go." ”
Zidan said: "Erchen is not afraid of death. ”
King Yan shook his head again, sighed, and then said, "It's really not good, the widow will go to the enemy camp in person to talk to the Five Nations Alliance." ”
Zidan hurriedly said: "Father, don't, if you go, the Yan Kingdom will really die, they are completely holding the intention of killing my Yan Kingdom this time, and they will not let you go." ”
King Yan said: "If I don't go, won't Yan Kingdom die?"
Zidan said: "Only when the green mountains are there can there be firewood." Some time ago, Xianyang was trapped, and that Qin Qunian also made a plan to give up Xianyang, and we can also give up the northern thistle! Even if we escape into the barren mountains and mountains, we have the opportunity to start all over again, and they can't always guard this bitter cold land. ”
The ministers seconded the proposal, although they didn't want to leave here, once they left here, they would leave the glory and wealth, and what good life could they have if they escaped into the deep mountains and old forests?
King Yan let out a long sigh, and instantly seemed to be dozens of years old.
The hall is desolate, it is better to do a funeral, after all, the funeral is over, life can continue, but they have no possibility of continuing, all of them will become stray dogs.
Just as they were about to discuss their escape plan after the destruction of the country, a guard outside the hall suddenly shouted: "Report - Zhenbei Pass Urgent Report - "
Although 500,000 Qin troops have arrived outside Zhenbei Pass, Zhenbei Pass is in danger, but King Yan has been numb, hearing such an urgent report, there is no nervous feeling, it is estimated that under the onslaught of the 500,000 tiger and wolf army of Qin State, Zhenbei Pass has been broken, after all, there are only 200,000 defenders there, not to mention that the commander of the Qin army is still Qin Qunian, this demon is still a demon, this thing can be worth a million troops, and it is easy to break his Zhenbei Pass.
King Yan said weakly at this time: "Come in!"
And the guard entered, with a wrinkled letter in his hand, which seemed to have been strapped to the legs of an eagle.
Yan Wang took the letter, as if he had received a critical illness notice, and he didn't have any strength, so he slowly unfolded the letter, glanced at it, and couldn't help frowning.
Zidan asked in a low voice: "Father, has Zhenbei Pass been broken?"
King Yan took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "Zhenbei Pass has not been broken, but the Qin army has asked to send envoys to meet you!"
Zidan asked, "Didn't the Qin army tackle the problem?"
King Yan shook his head and said, "No! Since arriving outside the Zhenbei Pass, he has been standing still. ”
Not only Zidan, but everyone in the hall was surprised, this is not like Qin Jun's style of doing things! Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, when did it become so polite? However, those states of Shandong etiquette have become not polite at all this time, just like bandits robbing houses and houses. Because of this, they sent several envoys to negotiate peace, and they all went to the camp of the Five Nations Alliance, as for the Qin army, they didn't send any envoys over, and they felt that there was nothing to talk about with such a tiger and wolf army, and it was humiliating to go, and they never expected that this tiger and wolf army would take the initiative to send envoys over, which surprised them very much.
A minister said, "The Qin army is really incredible. ”
Another minister said: "This time the Qin army is led by Qin Qunian, and this Qin Qunian's ideas are always eclectic, different from normal people, so it is not surprising to make such a strange move." ”
The original minister said: "But why did he do this? Now that the Qin army wants to break through the north pass of our town, it is as easy as a finger, and there is no need to use any more conspiracies and tricks, right?"
The other minister shook his head and said, "I don't understand it either." He looked up at King Yan and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to see it?" It's not easy to say, anyway, we are already fish and meat on the chopping board now, and we have to die to understand a little bit, but I want to see what Qin wants to do? After all, this war was fought inexplicably, as if these six countries were drunk and crazy, and they ran to their homes to smash them without asking questions, until this moment, Yan Guo did not know the motives of these six countries. As for the Eye of Heaven, they hadn't thought of this reason, because Yan Guo didn't have the ability to refine the Eye of Heaven, after all, there was still an important medicinal herb missing, where would they think that the Five Kingdoms of Shandong would recognize that they had the Eye of Heaven, and they would also think that they had colluded with the Son of Heaven. They still hate the Son of Heaven for not saving him when he dies!
King Yan nodded, then looked at Zidan and said: "You go and write a letter to the guards of Zhenbei Pass, agreeing to the envoys of the Qin State to enter the customs, and let them send people to escort the envoys into the capital, and the speed must be fast." "It's not easy to say, if it's slow, the capital will already be gone, and there will be no place to meet the envoys.
Zidan answered and went out.
Beiji is not far from Zhenbei Pass, and they use the Flashing Blue Eagle to transmit information, so in less than an hour, the guards of Zhenbei Pass received a reply from the capital, asking them to let the envoys enter the customs.
The guards of Zhenbei Pass hurriedly sent someone to send this information to the Qin army camp. These guards looked at the army of 500,000 tigers and wolves outside the pass, and they were also very nervous, but they were unwilling to give up at the slightest sign of peace talks, so they were very positive.
Qu Nian led 500,000 soldiers and horses to arrive outside Zhenbei Pass last night, rested all night, did not tackle key problems, did not provoke trouble, and was not in a hurry, and did not notify the guards of Zhenbei Pass until this morning.
Now that he received a reply from Zhenbei Pass, as he expected, he agreed to let him send an envoy into the customs, so he called He Min over and said to him: "Lord He, Yan Guo has agreed to your entry into the customs, and I have already explained to you what should be explained, you must not let me down!"
He Min patted his chest and said: "Before, Gongzi specially brought me over, I thought it was such a difficult task, now Yan Guo is already a frightened bird, this task is now a completely small task for me, wrapped in me, absolutely worthy of the mission." ”
Qu Nian nodded and said, "Then I'm waiting for your good news here!"
