Chapter 283: Shan Yue doesn't know what is going on in the world
In the eyes of many people in later generations, Nangong Yu, the last prince of Wei, can be regarded as a legendary figure. And his legend does not come from the fact that he was once the king of a great princely country. On the contrary, his experience of being called a legend was after he became a prisoner and captive of the Zhao State. This would have been an extremely unfortunate event for a princely king. However, as the king of destroying the country, he just fulfilled the king of Wei. I have to say that life is unpredictable, and who can withstand the arrangement of fate!
Of course, the current King of Wei cannot predict what he will experience in the future. In the Great Liang Palace, he only had boundless anger and remorse in his heart.
This ambitious prince of a great power could not have dreamed that one day he would become a prisoner of the enemy, and in an absolutely unexpected situation. This made him feel very aggrieved and uncomfortable. But everything is irretrievable. When the hooves of the Zhao army crushed the morning dream of Daliang City, and the army with the dust and iron and blood of distant expeditions fell from the sky, the king of Wei and his ministers understood that the general trend had gone, and it was too late to regret it!
The capital of the Wei king, Daliang, as one of the famous cities in the world, is naturally not so easy to break. Even when Qin and Wei were at loggerheads, the Qin army won successive battles and was almost approaching Daliang City. However, they fell short in the end, and let the Wei people who were not afraid of death be driven out.
The Wei people have always been known for being fierce and invincible. This vassal state, which had a deep history with Zhao, was originally Zhao's best ally. However, there was a constant war with the Qin State. But from the previous generation of Wei kings a few decades ago, they gradually became estranged from the Zhao state, so that they fought against each other. And the main reason behind this is the change in the general trend of the world and the sowing of discord among the people of the Qin State.
The increasingly powerful state of Qin would never allow Wei and Zhao to maintain a friendly situation. For many years, their advisers did everything they could to disrupt the relationship between the two great princes. Its despicability is simply all-encompassing. Especially the later Wuping Jun comforted Wuzi, and he offered the King of Qin the strategy of "generous bribes and discord" and "distant friendship and close attack", which made almost half of the princes of the world fall into his favor under the threat of money and military threats. And in the end, they got their wish.
In this world, any ambitious prince and king will not be resigned to the status quo. King Wei is naturally no exception. He listened to the advice of some important ministers of the royal court, and began to establish a strategic relationship with Qin to use and help each other. The two countries are getting closer and closer. And Zhao Guo, who was once a good neighbor and good partner, turned against each other and became enemies.
Originally, this kind of relationship that changes for the sake of profit is nothing. If the opportunity comes, it may be repaired again. However, when the favorite son of the King of Wei died at the Luohe crossing in Zhongzhou, it seemed that the relationship between the two countries could never be restored to what it used to be. Nangong He's death, the King of Wei and the royal family all counted this account on Chu Jiangmian's head. He made an oath that he would kill this son and avenge Nangong!
Therefore, Wei did not hesitate to dispatch the elite force of 80,000 Wei soldiers this time, and went with the ambition of destroying Zhao State. And General Yan Hu's invincible all the way made King Wei see great hope for success. It can be said that for some time now, he has been preparing to receive the news that the Wei army has broken through Dragon City. He had even drafted the royal decree in advance, and the day of the victory in Dragon City was the time when Yan Hu gave the throne.
However, it was as if God was deliberately trying to play a joke on him. Longcheng's good news was not expected, but he waited for the cavalry of Zhao State!
On that day, King Wei was in a very good mood. The latest military information from Zhao State shows that the Wei army broke the Dragon City only overnight. Nangong Yu ordered some of his henchmen to enter the Great Liang Palace, and he wanted to hold a grand banquet to reward these courtiers who had made a lot of efforts in recent times.
Such a large-scale military operation is not as simple as sending soldiers out to fight. The so-called involvement of the whole body, the smooth progress of a war, is indispensable to the coordination of the entire country in all aspects. In other words, Wei Wushu's victory in the territory of Zhao State, in addition to the courage of the soldiers, the supply and mobilization capabilities of the rear are indispensable.
These ministers who received the personal invitation of King Wei were naturally very happy. They are all important people in this country. If they sit together, then they will be able to decide many things in the Wei State. It's been a very tiring time, and now that the road ahead is about to be done, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief. And if you just go into the palace to eat, drink, and taste delicious food, you don't have to make other preparations, so you just have to dress up and go to the banquet.
With such a relaxed mood, dozens of ministers came from different directions in Daliang City. When they walked out of their respective mansions, it was just after twilight, and the bright moon must have risen over Daliang City soon. Thinking that the moonlight shrouded the Daliang Palace, Qionglou Yuyu, drinking and congratulating in the palace hall, while watching the songs and dances of those enchanting dancing girls in the palace, must have a special taste, right?
King Wei is a good woman, and there are many beautiful women in the palace. There will be dozens or hundreds of beauties waiting for each banquet. And when this prince and king were drunk, in addition to liking to reward treasures, he often gave beautiful women to his courtiers, and he was accustomed to it. This makes many ministers feel lucky, and they very much hope that this good fortune will fall on their heads!
And in fact, it did not disappoint them. This very good-looking King of Wei rewarded them with an extremely rich banquet. Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the variety of delicacies. It's just the wine in the Daliang Palace, which is a rare thing in the world.
Although it is early winter, the main hall is unusually warm, and these wooden palaces condense the superb wisdom of the architects of this era. Not only is it warm in winter and cool in summer, but it also has excellent ventilation. Even if a large number of people gather inside, it does not feel crowded and noisy at all. The court luthier played the ancient music, and in this solemn and lively atmosphere, the king of Wei toasted three glasses, and after everyone thanked them together, they all drank happily.
"The wine given by the king is really a peerless delicacy in the world! Lao Chen has this blessing tonight, which can be regarded as a worthy life. ”
Shen's father, who served as the doctor, was very emotional. Although he was talking about the wine in the cup, everyone could understand what he meant. Subsequently, many people sighed and admired. But King Wei just smiled faintly and said with a little smugness.
"Doctor Shang and Zhu Qing don't have to be like this. It's just a thing in a cup, so what's so precious? …… Hehe! Did you know? This batch of fine wine was just shipped from Zhao not long ago. They all belong to the trophies of General Yan Hu and Wei Wushu! It is said that this wine is a specialty of Zhao and has just appeared in the world. These Zhao people can't do anything else, and there are a lot of strange things produced in recent years. It's like this kind of wine, which is really rare in the world. I don't know how they made it. I have already ordered people to tell General Yan Hu, so that they must find out the brewing method, and when the time comes, our Wei State will brew it by itself, won't we want more or less? ”
"O wise king! Since Zhao Guo is about to end. Then you're welcome. It's not just wine! I heard that they also produced new tea, salt as white as snow, advanced textile technology, and the latest crossbow arrows...... There are a lot of good things, and when the time comes, Wei Wushu should be transported back to Daliang in one go! ”
Some ministers immediately echoed the voice, and raised their arms and shouted, reminding King Wei. Nangong Yu nodded and laughed proudly. The monarchs and ministers are happy, the wine glasses are constant, and the whole hall is full of talk. Such a good night can be enjoyed as a drink for a long night.
King Wei's eyes couldn't open anymore. Do you need to say more about these things? At that time, even the entire Zhao State will be included in the territory of Great Wei, not to mention the things in that land? The thought that he would soon have these endless riches, under the influence of alcohol, his heart couldn't help but burn again.
"Rest tonight when you're drunk, officer of the guard, no one is allowed to leave without getting drunk!"
Zhao's wine is really mellow and sweet. King Wei was obviously a little out of shape. He blushed and gave the order loudly. Most people said yes, and then the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic. Such occasions are not very common, and naturally no one comes out to say things that are uninteresting. Even a few ministers felt that this was inappropriate, but they only shook their heads secretly, and then went with the flow and continued to sing the praises of virtue.
Shan Yue doesn't know the affairs of the world, just a round of ascension to the jade. The aftermath is endless, the beauty is beautiful, and the prosperous scene in the Daliang Palace is just a celebration of power, but it has nothing to do with the ordinary people outside. The entire Daliang City was gradually immersed in the night. And those who have worked hard all day have finally been given a temporary rest. They let go of the hardships of survival, and no longer worry about the unpaid taxes, even in this early winter night, the cloth has been cold as iron for many years, and they have fallen asleep. For these toiling people, perhaps only in dreams can they get ease!
And just after the third watch that night, when the feast in the Daliang Palace was in full swing, a cavalry unit from nowhere quietly appeared under the city of Daliang. The moon is in the sky, and the stars are hanging in all directions. Under the light of the boundless stars and moon, Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao, who was riding on a horse, shook the cloak behind him, as if he shook off the starlight in the sky, and also shook off the dust.
"So, is this Daliang City?"
