Chapter 8: Saving Lives
After a moment of silence in the big tent, Shen Run leaned in and whispered in Zhou Rong's ear: "Your Highness, it's better to take the Tang Kingdom as Sun Zhiyuan said!"
Zhou Rong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Sun Houde with a smile: "General Sun, what do you think are the chances of winning the Tang Kingdom?"
Sun Houde hurriedly got up and arched his hand and said, "Your Highness atoned for your sins, the dog lost his words." Sun Houde said and gave Sun Zhiyuan a look again and again: "Don't kneel down and let His Highness convict! This kind of military affairs is also something that you can discuss as a small vanguard officer?"
Zhou Rongyi waved his hand and continued to laugh: "General Sun is serious. The arrogance of the messenger of the Shu Kingdom should indeed be suppressed. ”
Sun Zhiyuan walked to the tent, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists at Zhou Rong and said, "Your Highness! What Zhiyuan said is not just angry words. Geographically speaking, the Tang State was between the Great Zhou and Wu Yue, while the Shu State was far from bordering. It should be up to Da Zhou to take over the Tang Kingdom. ”
"Oh!" Zhou Rong opened his mouth slightly: "So you have a chance of winning the Tang Kingdom?"
Sun Zhiyuan said again: "Since the Great Zhou sent troops, Emperor Shu has repeatedly sent people to ask for peace. Did he really want to make peace? Of course, he was afraid of the Great Zhou's chain of bows and crossbows and fire oil! As far as Zhiyuan knew, Emperor Shu had sent people to the Chu State many times to lobby, but until today, the Chu State had not sent troops! Now the news of the Great Zhou's discovery of the oil has spread all over the country, and no one dares to make enemies of the Great Zhou. Why didn't Your Highness take advantage of the power of the fire oil shock to take the Tang Kingdom in one fell swoop?"
"It's really tempting!" Zhou Rong nodded.
"Your Highness!" The heroic general hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Although the Tang Lord is weak, the 200,000 troops of the Tang State have already assembled and are ready to standby. At this time, I am afraid that I will be attacked by the enemy on my back!"
"General!" Sun Zhiyuan said loudly: "That's our Wu Yue's princess who protects the country! How can she die in vain? Not to mention that now we have bows and crossbows and fire oil that are invincible in other countries, we just don't have anything! But all bloody men will not spare their lives!"
"Zhiyuan!" Sun Houde hurriedly shouted: "Stand down!" Sun Houde hurriedly attended and bowed to the heroic general: "Don't blame the general, the dog has made a mistake!"
The heroic general ignored Sun Houde and only said to Zhou Rong: "I still hope that Your Highness Mingjian! Although those 200,000 are the soldiers of the Tang Kingdom, they are all flesh and blood." ”
Zhou Rong smiled slightly: "Why don't the generals take Sun Xianfeng to greet Lord Tang this time?
"What does Your Highness mean?" the Heroic General asked.
Zhou Rong leaned forward slightly and looked at Sun Zhiyuan and said, "Does Sun Xianfeng know the meaning of this palace?"
Sun Zhiyuan clenched his fists and said loudly: "The subordinates will not disgrace their mission!"
"Okay! Get out of here!"
"Obey!" The heroic general also understood Zhou Rong's intentions at this moment, and withdrew from the big tent with Sun Zhiyuan.
At this time, Xie Guling, who was dressed in a black cloak and cloth, walked into the tent quickly: "Your Highness Qiqi, Mr. has rushed back and is waiting for you in the back tent, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”
"Okay!" Zhou Rong nodded and said to the generals in the account: "It's all gone!"
When Zhou Rong and Bailiwei Shen Run and Xie Guling walked out of the big tent together, the north wind was tight.
The campfires were fluttering, and the tents were rustling in the wind.
The cold wind is like a knife, and the iron armor is cold.
"Has the snow stopped in Qucheng?" Zhou Rong's voice was blown by the wind.
"It's been a long time. Xie Guling replied: "Xue just stopped, and Second Master Hu took their brother and sister over."
