Chapter Forty-Eight: Trapping the King of Yue
"King, the army of the Warriors has arrived."
"Let's go! Come with me to meet you. Yi Hu Song, who had been sitting in the chair, opened his eyes and sat up from the tiger skin throne.
In order to show respect, the king of Xi'ou called on the Song family to go three miles outside the royal city to meet the vanguard army of the South Vietnamese Jun.
Broadly speaking, the translation of Song is the king, and the Jun is the general, the distinction between the monarch and the minister has been decided, and the Song Dynasty does not need to go out of the city for three miles to meet a soldier under the Jun. But in essence, Baiyue is just a loose tribal alliance, and at present, the overall strength of Xi'ou has been seriously damaged under several offensives of the Qin army. Yihu Song, the king of Xiou, also had to bow his head and make a modest attitude.
Compared with the army of Xiou, there is not much difference between Baiyue's army and Xiou's army, whether it is in terms of weapons or equipment. Light armor straw sandals, bamboo spear leather bow. Even, because it was a labor expedition, some of the characteristic troops of South Vietnam, such as elephant soldiers, could not be brought at all.
"See the king in the lower wood."
"The general has come all the way, and he has worked hard."
Interpreting Song did not take ten steps, he saluted from afar, and then walked forward quickly and said to the leader of the general.
"The king doesn't have to be like this, the Qin people offended me Baiyue. Everyone is of the Yue ethnic group, and they should help each other. "Qi Mu is a big man with a height of eight feet, and among the Yue people, he is also an extremely tall existence.
"Hahaha! Well said! Yi Hu Song laughed, took Qi Muyi's hand, and walked in the direction of Wangcheng. I have set up a banquet in the royal city for you. ”
"Yes!" Qi Mu answered, and then followed the translation of Song.
In the cave room, Yi Hu Song was at the head, and Qi Mu was sitting at the head of him, and all the courtiers of Xi'ou became the foil of this pioneer of the horse, which can be described as extremely respectful.
When the wine was drunk, Lu Wen, who was sitting opposite Qi Muji, had a gleam in his eyes, and suddenly asked, "I don't know how many people and horses Lord Jijun brought this time." ”
"Sixty thousand, and the next two thousand are the vanguard." Akiki replied honestly.
"The Qin army is brave and aggressive. Lord Jijun's move is to save us and others from danger. General, the old man will give you a glass first. ”
Although Lu Wen said it beautifully, he was very surprised in his heart. 60,000 horses, the horse is really a big deal. This is equivalent to the total number of soldiers that the tribe of the Jun's headquarters and the twelve barbarian generals under him can come up with. It seems that this time, Ji Junzhi is not small.
Lu Wen glanced at Yi Hu Song on the Tiger Skin Throne, and the other party also understood in his heart. At this point, the two of them felt that the drinking in their hands was higher.
No matter how many people came to toast, he did not refuse to come, and took the order. Yi Hu Song sat on the throne, but he was even more amazed to see it. It's not that he hasn't seen a person with a good amount of alcohol, but it's surprising that the amount of alcohol is like this.
There were about a dozen people sitting in this cave, each with a glass of wine, and they still came in turns, but the general looked abnormal and clear.
Wine banquet wine banquet, the more you drink, the more you drink, the more harmonious you are, the night outside the cave is miserable, but the cave is lit by fire and candles, and the atmosphere is high.
By midnight, most of the people in the cave were drunk. There were only a few people left, their faces crimson, and their demeanor unstable, but
is still sober, one is Yi Yu Song, the other is Qi Mu Qi, and the other is actually the Great Elder Lu Wen.
However, the translator Song and Lu asked the king, but they also fell on the table, and they were very drunk.
At this time, he suddenly stood up, picked up a basin of water from the desk, and poured it on his head.
This strange behavior of Qi Mu Yi instantly attracted the attention of Yi Yu Song and Lu Wen, but they initially thought that it was just Qi Mu Ji getting drunk, so they didn't pay much attention to it. But then, the pouch that had been hanging from his waist was untied, opened, and drank the contents of it. Then, Qi Mu shook his head and muttered, "Fortunately, when I was leaving, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave me this hangover thing, otherwise I would not even be able to get out of this cave." ”
Although the voice of Qi Mu was very low, Yi Yu Song heard it. Although he was very drunk, he still retained three points of sobriety. He felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he staggered to his feet, pointed to Qimu and said, "Who are you?" ”
"I am Li San, the chief of the guard under the seat of His Royal Highness the Prince of Great Qin."
"Good thief." Yihu Song shouted, the water in his mouth splashed, and he wanted to take two steps forward, but he stumbled, fell down, and fell asleep.
Li San looked at this scene, and then looked at the only one in the cave, another Xiou person, Great Elder Lu Wen.
Lu Wen drank less, but he was also a little unstable at the moment, he shook his head and said to Li San, "How did you get the outfits of so many South Vietnamese soldiers. ”
"Naturally, it was taken from them." At this time, Lu Wen clearly heard the noise outside the cave.
"Looks like your men are already on the move."
"Elder Suwen is the premier witch in this land of Xiou. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has admired him for a long time, and when Xiou returns to the empire, he still needs a lot of assistance from the Great Elder. ”
"The war is undecided, and Prince Qin is so sure that he can surrender this land of Xiou. You must know that the South Vietnamese army has a large number of men and horses, and although we have suffered heavy losses in the first two battles, we still have a certain strength. If it really doesn't work, we will hide in the mountains and forests, and we can still fight the Qin army. Lu Wen said word by word, because he drank a lot of wine, he could only say slowly.
"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to do, I have never seen it fail."
Looking at the excited look in the eyes of the person in front of him, Lu Wen was also shocked in his heart. What kind of person is Prince Qin, he can take these people under his command, and his command is like a pawn, but he has no complaints at all.
"The old man has lived so much, I really want to see what kind of character Prince Qin is?" Lu Wen smiled and smiled calmly.
Li San breathed a sigh of relief, according to previous intelligence, this Lu Wen was a hardliner among Xi'ou. But his attitude towards the empire is crucial. It is not a good thing that his attitude has been loosened now.
"In this way, there will be Elder Lao."
"Wait." Lu Wen said: "If one day the king descends to Qin, I will naturally not stop it. However, with the temper of the king, I am afraid that it is not so easy to commit. ”
"I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced." In the tent of the Qin army's camp, Yihu Song, who had just woken up, found that he had become a prisoner, and said loudly.
"Oh?" Ying Ziyi smiled, "Loosen the tie for it." ”
This kind attitude, this familiar demeanor, as if everything was taken for granted, Yi Yu Song looked at Ying Ziyi, "What do you want?" ”
"I have already said that I am a great Qin and a big country, and I have always persuaded people with virtue."
As for how to convince people with virtue? As the old saying goes, if you are poor, you will put aside disputes, and if you are poor, you will put aside disputes. (To be continued.) )
