Chapter 300: Commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance
In the face of Zhao Xing's request, Zhou Tianzi was unwilling, and was a little angry at the time: "This time it is a royal division that has not been in hundreds of years, how can I let others command, in order to show my might as the Son of Heaven, the widow will personally take command of the expedition." ”
This time, with the strong support of Zhao Xing, the rare princes from all over the world gathered again under the banner called by the Son of Heaven to reproduce the ancestral scenery, how could this make others show off? Today, Zhou Tianzi is ambitious.
In fact, it's also strange, whether it's the last Son of Heaven or the emperor. Most of them want to work hard to continue the national fortunes of the dynasty, and most of them are wise people.
Maybe it's because they are too unwilling, and as a result, after a toss, they let the country perish faster. For example, this king resolutely refused the title of King Wu of Qin, and organized 5,000 men and women, and 50 chariots pulled by oxen, and dared to shout at Qiang Qin, who had two or three hundred thousand tigers and wolves, and the result was a battle and destroyed his Great Zhou.
Now that the coalition forces are in hand and there is plenty of money and food, how can they let others rob them of their rejuvenation.
Zhou Gong hurriedly bowed down and admonished: "The Son of Heaven can't." ”
Zhou Tianzi asked curiously: "What's wrong with this?" Is this a matter of course. ”
Zhou Gong admonished bitterly: "Son of Heaven, although we call on the world to crusade against the ministers, you know that everyone is coming for whose face." ”
Zhou Tianzi was stammering at that time. Yes, this time I called for it, at the beginning, none of the princes responded, everyone called themselves kings, in principle, everyone is on an equal footing with themselves, the king of Zhou, who hangs you hair. Zhou Tianzi's face can't be seen clearly with a magnifying glass.
The reason why everyone responded was because of Zhao Xing's face, which was so huge that it was about to cover the sky. Please don't feel good about yourself, the co-ruler of the world.
"Besides, the minister is already old and doesn't understand military affairs, and although the coalition forces of various countries are interested in Zhao Xing's money to participate in the war against Qin, they must have their own hearts, once the Son of Heaven leads the army and does not allow Le Yi to master, Zhao Xing is angry and cuts off the supply of money and food for the army, which is a big deal."
Hear this? Zhou Tianzi was sweating on his back at that time.
Now Zhao Xing is the gold owner? The gold owner is much more than the co-owner of the world, and he really annoys Zhao Xing, the gold master? Just a cut of money? The coalition will fall apart immediately, and the consequences will ——。
Zhou Gong continued: "And once the coalition forces fail? If the story of Zheng Zhuang Gong is published again, the prestige of the Son of Heaven will be swept away again. Oh my God? If the prestige of the Son of Heaven is dusted again? Then there's no going back. ”
Thinking about the fact that an arrow was shot in front of the ancestor in front of the formation, which pulled the prestige of the Son of Heaven off the altar, the white sweat on Zhou Tianzi's back became even higher.
"And we sent troops this time, under Zhao Xing's operation? Don't use our women to go to war? We only have 20 chariots and 2,000 men, so what else can we rely on to command the patchwork coalition army except the majesty of the Son of Heaven? ”
Zhou Tianzi also understands smartly, the majesty of the Son of Heaven? Just talk about it. This era has collapsed, and everything speaks with strength. Who has big and hard fists? Whoever has a say.
"Le Yi, is he an immortal general? This time, not only did Zhao Xing give his younger brother enough money and food support, but also gave him 10,000 iron cavalry as a personal soldier? 3,000 Ponjo troops. And Zhao Guo? In response to Zhao Xing's dispatch of 30,000 troops? But he didn't send a general, so he directly gave these 30,000 soldiers to Le Yi. South Korea handed over 30,000 troops to Le Yi, and now Le Yi has 70,000 world-famous iron cavalry, and has become the largest combat strength of the coalition army. ”
This is a fact, and Zhou Tianzi can't refute it, and he doesn't dare to refute it.
Zhou Gong said leisurely: "There is money and food, there are male soldiers, in fact, with only one army of Le Yi, it is enough to oppress the Qin people, even if the Seven Nations Alliance is like Su and Qin back then, they scattered in front of Hangu Pass, and with Le Yi's army, Qin State did not dare to go out of the pass to fight." Then, we can take this opportunity to take back our old capital Chengzhou, so that we will have face and no danger. Why wouldn't we be happy to do such a thing? ”
Zhou Tianzi suddenly praised Zhou Gong: "Zhou Gong, you are still old and seeking the country." But then he thought: "But what if Le Yi doesn't listen to us?" ”
Zhou Gong shook his head with a smile: "No, once Le Yi is loyal, there is still a son of heaven in his heart; Second, Zhao Xing has just risen, although he is already invincible in terms of money and grain and national strength, but in terms of prestige, he is not worthy of other veteran princes in any case, and he must also need the banner of the Son of Heaven to make an excuse for him to dominate the world, so this time he is the most active response to the call of the Son of Heaven to crusade against Qin Buchen. ”
Zhou Tianzi nodded, and then muttered to himself with a little disappointment: "In response to the Son of Heaven's expedition to defeat the Son of Heaven, why not use the name of the Son of Heaven to weaken his Zhao Xing's strong enemy Qin State, and then seize the land west of the Qin State." ”
Then he looked up sadly and sighed: "I want the ancestors to say a word, who in the world dares not to obey, but in the generation of widows, how did they become a chess piece at the mercy of others?" The widow is unwilling, I am unwilling. ”
Zhou Gong looked at the lonely and helpless figure of the Son of Heaven beating his chest, he could only be sad, and finally whispered: "Son of Heaven, we can only get back a little face when we send troops this time, and taking back Cheng Zhou is our foundation, and then I hope that Zhao Xing can always need our banner, let us linger for a while, I hope that the Son of Heaven is not the last king of the 800-year Great Zhou Dynasty." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Tianzi sat on the ground, bowed his head and wept silently.
I know my own situation best, and I can't end the March with a vast territory, but now I can only be regarded as a county magistrate. Qin Xiang drove himself here again, and turned himself into a township chief, the dignified Son of Heaven Six Army, and now he can only recruit 3,000 men and 20 chariots. With such strength, how can we talk about ZTE, how can we talk about restoring the glory of our ancestors?
Now, as long as he is not the last generation of Zhou kings, the Zhou Dynasty will not perish in his own hands.
After crying for a while, Zhou Tianzi nodded with difficulty: "Then do what Zhou Gong said, and when the army will gather, I will kick the altar, worship you as the commander, and worship Le Yi as the commander (former enemy commander-in-chief) to cut down Qin." Then he looked at the few ministers and subordinates: "Didn't we get Zhao Xing's 50 million yuan, from today onwards, we don't have to be stingy, let's double the food ration." Then he smiled bitterly: "Even if I am the last generation of King Zhou, I will take you to be a ghost who is full of death." Then he pointed to his head: "I really look forward to seeing who will take this good head of mine, whether it is Qin, Zhao, or Zhao Xing." ”
The army of Qi gathered one after another, and Zhou Tianzi was full of spirit to entertain the marshals of the various princes with the gift of the Son of Heaven, and finally after a quarrel, Zhou Tianzi personally kicked the altar and worshiped Zhou Gong as the commander of the coalition army. Duke Zhou worshiped Le Yi as the commander again, and began to announce to the world that he would crusade against the tyrannical Qin Buchen.
Tang, Qi, Chu, Han, Wei, Song, Lu, and Ying, with 200,000 troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance, claimed to be 300,000, gathered at Hangu Pass, the gateway to Qin, and prepared to attack Qin and crusade against Buchen.
Qin's Hangu Pass, according to the plateau in the west, borders the Jiejian in the east, connects the Qinling Mountains in the south, and connects the Yellow River in the north, is the earliest Xiongguan fortress in Qin, and is the first Xiongguan fortress in the east out of the Hedong princes and guards the hinterland of Qin.
In front of this pass, in the 700-year history of Qin, I don't know how many vigorous wars have taken place, and every time there is a big war, the princes of Hedong have been cut off.
But it's not so good now, because Hanguguan responded to that sentence, calling the angel too far away, and the evil neighbor on the side. Because on the opposite side of him is Zhao Xing, the territory of the princes and troublemakers. The two passes meet less than 150 miles, and they are very close.
And because Le Yi's army is Zhao Xing's money and grain, it happens to be backed by the world's material transit of the four passes, only at this point, there is no such hundreds of years, the enemy attacked Hangu Pass because of logistical reasons.
Now, Le Yi thrust his sword into the land in front of Hangu Pass, and announced to the Qin army on Hangu Pass in high spirits: "Violent Qin, I have consumed it with you." ”
As a result, the famous battle of Zhou Tianzi, who was vigorous in history, against the tyrannical Qin, was vigorously and tragically opened in the confrontation between Le Yi and Qin Xiang Ganmao, who guarded the pass.
