Chapter 285: Iron Hoof Shatters the Glass Dream
In the later records of the imperial history books, several of the most important wars that affected the overall situation of the world took place almost one after another within these days. Among them, the Battle of Dragon City in Zhao State and the Battle of Daliang City in Wei State are undoubtedly the top priority!
The people of the entire land of Shenzhou have experienced this earth-shaking change in less than half a month. The situation has changed abruptly, and Jin Ge is turbulent. Thousands of horses galloped, and the strong army fought a decisive battle...... When the final victor stood at the forefront of the times, countless people suddenly realized that all this that happened seemed to have been controlled by that young man in advance. When he walked out of the Dragon City Jinxiang Palace, that game of chess had already been gently dropped by him. And it's fixed, and no one has the ability to change it!
Such an outcome is certainly frustrating for those outstanding opponents. But before that, no one would have believed that someone could resist an attack by an enemy several times their own with the strength of a vassal state. Among them, the world-minded Qin King Nie Feng did not believe it, the peerless strategist Wei Wuzi did not believe it, the ambitious King Wei did not believe it, their generals did not believe it, and the famous generals of the world who were ordered at this time did not believe ......!
But in the end, they all lost. Lost at the hands of a young man who was born as a gentleman. That person flies in the sky and fights the world. With only the tens of thousands of troops he could mobilize, he won these wars beautifully, thus laying the foundation for conquering the entire world.
And when the first snow of that winter had just arrived, there seemed to be no hope for this great and glorious victory. At least for Zhao Guo's powerful opponents, they didn't think that Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian would make a breakthrough in this complicated and difficult situation. The night banquet in the Great Liang Palace of Wei State was held as usual, which was enough to show that they had the chance to win and had no other precautions.
And in these major wars, the first huge victory of the Zhao State, which shook the world, happened in Daliang City just by surprise.
In the second half of the night, the moon faded. Dark clouds gradually obscured the sky. The armor guards the gate of Daliang City, standing on the city wall, also looked a little slack. This is the time when people are most likely to get sleepy. And because the night was cold and cold, the rest of the team guarding the city hid in the garrison under the city wall to rest. Only five or six armor sergeants were left on duty in shifts. Although this kind of behavior is a bit against military law, since Daliang City has been safe and sound for several years, there is no need to consider what danger will happen, so everyone has become accustomed to it.
Out of the west gate of the Great Liang, go hundreds of miles, is the border with Shu. That small vassal state, sandwiched between Qin and Wei for so many years, the king of Shu can be said to be trembling, and he doesn't even dare to breathe. He and his people only hoped that they would not provoke these two tyrannical neighbors. Otherwise, if they are unhappy one day, a sneeze may lead to the destruction of the Shu Kingdom!
Not only did Nie Feng, the king of Qin, never take Shu to heart, but even the king of Wei disdained him. If it weren't for the fact that this buffer zone between the two countries had not been preserved to avoid many unnecessary troubles and misunderstandings, I am afraid that either of them would have easily swallowed it up a long time ago.
Besides, the land of Shu is barren, and even if you get it in your hands, it doesn't seem to be of much use. It is better to often let the kings and ministers of Shu maintain a grateful heart to show the minds of the princes of the great powers.
Nangong Yu, the king of Wei, has always looked down on his little neighbor. However, he never thought that it was this ant-like existence that would viciously stab the back of the elephant of Wei State!
Outside the west gate of Daliang, in the moonlight that began to become dark, a man named Bai Ye was waiting next to the war horse of Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian, at this moment, looking at Daliang City, which was not far away, his mood was slightly excited. Because, King Zhao has already said that if he successfully enters the city, he should remember the first merit for him!
I'm afraid that even Bai Ye himself didn't expect that a relationship formed a long time ago would achieve today's great achievements. When he was still the ranger thief, in order to avenge his most beloved woman, he did not hesitate to enter the camp of the Qin army at night and assassinate the general Wang Li in the army. That time, he had already made up his mind to die. Unexpectedly, his life should not be extinguished, and he was saved by Xin Gong, the prime minister of Shu, and thus escaped his life.
It was from that time that Bai Ye kept this life-saving grace in his heart. He is a man of vengeance. Since following Chu Jiangmian, he began to settle down. He once secretly went to Shu again, carrying a large number of valuable gifts with him to express his gratitude to Gong Xin.
When Xin Gong, the prime minister of Shu State, rescued him, although it was only a momentary move, he respected him as a man, and he did not covet anything in return. But now that he heard that Bai Ye had become King Zhao's confidant, he was naturally surprised and delighted. As the minister of a vassal state, Duke Xin certainly understood what a great opportunity this was. In the past few years, the young King Zhao has been born out of thin air, shaking the whole world, and his talent and achievements are obvious to all. If you can get a relationship with such a figure, then whether it is for the future of Shu or the safety of the people, there will be endless benefits.
Therefore, Duke Xin was very happy to accept Bai Ye's kindness and introduced him to the king of Shu, hoping to further strengthen his ties with Zhao. Although the King of Shu is a little cowardly and incompetent, he is not a fool. If you don't seize such a good opportunity, how long will it be?
Therefore, the overjoyed King of Shu rewarded the coming white night, and secretly sent his important ministers to follow him back to Zhao, and personally brought his own handwritten letter to King Zhao to express his friendship with him. Since then, there has been constant contact between Shu and Zhao, and there have been more and more secret contacts.
It is precisely for this reason that not long ago, when Bai Ye came to the Stone City of Shu again and expressed King Zhao's intention to raid Wei through Shu, King Shu and Duke Xin agreed without hesitation. They had already heard about what happened to Zhao Guo recently, and they were anxiously worried about it. But he didn't expect that King Zhao would have such courage, after he returned from Zhongzhou thousands of miles away, he did not go to the rescue of Zhao directly, but unexpectedly attacked the Liang of Wei! Xin Gong and the others, who understood his intentions, were simply admired in their hearts. This person is so young, he has such a means, it doesn't take time, only now it can be seen that the blue is better than the blue! What he did had already gone far beyond the strategy of his father Chu Lie.
It would be great if King Zhao could really take this opportunity to destroy Wei in one fell swoop! The king of Shu, who was fed up with the bullying of this arrogant neighbor, had been looking forward to this day for a long time. He immediately sent a guide to personally greet the arrival of King Zhao.
The cavalry of the Zhao State did not pass through Stone City, they only passed through the eastern counties of the Shu State, and then directly entered the territory of the Wei State. Not seeing the legendary King Zhao in person makes people feel a little regretful. But the handwritten letters written by King Zhao to the monarchs and ministers of Shu still made them feel extremely relieved. King Zhao had personally promised that after the fall of Wei, he would express the merits of Shu to the Great Zhou Emperor of Zhongzhou and commend the King of Shu in the name of the Son of Heaven. Such an emphasis is already a glory that has not been seen for many years for the remote and weak Shu Kingdom.
"I hope that Zhao Wangqi will win and succeed!"
The monarchs and ministers of the Shu Kingdom stood on the stone city and bowed their wishes in the direction of the cavalry galloping away. It seems that the dust in the sky holds their hope for the future.
And King Zhao, who borrowed the land of Shu, will naturally not live up to this expectation. When he personally led the brave Zhao soldiers of LinkedIn to gallop hundreds of miles, flying across Guanshan Mountain to the city of Daliang, it was just the second half of the night before dawn. And in this cavalry team, there is a hundred-person squad that came from Shu to serve as a guide. Their leader was a young man, his name was Xin Qi, but he was the favorite grandson of Xin Gong, the prime minister of Shu. And the reason why he was sent to follow King Zhao is self-evident.
Xin Qi looked at the figure in front of him excitedly. King Zhao, who stood on his horse, looked particularly tall in his eyes. Thinking of Gong Xin's earnest advice to him when he left home, he couldn't help but secretly clench his fists and make up his mind. The king in front of him, who is about the same age as him, is the light that guides him in the direction of his future progress!
At this time, Chu Jiangmian naturally had no time to pay attention to other people's feelings. His eyes flickered in the darkness of the night, and he calmly looked at the majestic walls and sturdy gates ahead. There is no doubt that the world's famous cities are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is very difficult to forcibly attack the city.
But he had no intention of attacking in the first place. Because, when he can lead the army to the city of Daliang, it already means that the gates of this city will be opened for him! Now, he just needs to wait a moment.
The wait was not long. When the starlight disappeared in the sky above Daliang City and began to fall snowflakes, Chu Jiangmian stretched out his palm and felt the coolness of the snowflakes melting on his hands. Then someone came from the direction of the city gate and whispered to him that he would know.
"My Majesty, the West Gate has fallen into our hands...... Now you can go into town!"
Chu Jiangmian nodded. He withdrew his gaze and drew his sword. All the cavalry behind him finally heard the two words that their king spat out softly.
"Into town!"
Ten thousand horses trampled, and the storm suddenly rose. The west gate of Daliang City opened violently in front of this flying horse that was rushing for thousands of miles. Zhao Guoqianji Pavilion has laid out the power of the princes of the world for many years, and finally established a miraculous feat tonight. The sound of horses' hooves like thunder resounded on the streets of Daliang, waking up countless sleeping dreams.
In the snowflakes flying, the cavalry of the Zhao army, clothed in clear frost, did not fight bloodlessly, and captured the capital of the king of Wei!
