Chapter 15: Looking South and North
The Wang family was a big family in the Qin State. Over the past 100 years, it has risen rapidly. It can be said that there are many talents and the family is prosperous. Especially in the army, there are many children of the Wang family who occupy important positions, and their weight should not be underestimated.
Nie Feng, the king of Qin, has always attached great importance to their family. And Wang Jian, who is a cousin with Wang Li, is known as the tiger general of the world, and he is the best among them.
Facing Wang Jian, whose prestige was three points greater than Wang Li's, all the soldiers of the Qin army obeyed the order. On the day the military order was issued, more than 80,000 troops immediately set out and rushed to the east. The monarchs and ministers of Shu looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, and finally let out a long breath. I was secretly glad that I had survived the catastrophe safely, but as for what the future would be, it was useless to think about it now.
The mountain wind is mighty, and the flag is fluttering. Wang Jian, dressed in armor, rode majestically on his war horse, looked around, and was not angry. As the new commander in command of the whole army, he did not convey the entire battle plan of the king of Qin to his subordinates. Until now, it was top secret.
King Chu Lie, the king of Zhao, who has been in the world for decades and has been praised by the people of the world as the Great Wall of the North, may never have thought that his true physical condition has already been known by the secret agents of the Qin State, and was sent to the desk of the King of Qin through secret channels some time ago. Therefore, Nie Feng, the king of Qin, made a decision to send troops immediately.
The thief Bai Ye was not wrong to worry. This time, taking advantage of Chu Lie's critical illness, it was not just the Qin army that sent troops to Dragon City. Under the order of the King of Qin, the Qin army took advantage of the Shu land to divide the Wei State into two horns and launched a surprise attack from the west of the Zhao State. The Southern Han Dynasty, which is separated by a river, will gather military ships, cross the river and attack, and advance into Longcheng by waterway from due south. Yan Guo, the neighbor in the northwest of Zhao State, has already reorganized its army. At that time, the Great Yan Iron Cavalry would cross the Yan Mountain and go straight to the several prefectures and counties in the north of the Zhao State.
And Qi Guo, the only one who had not made up his mind before, also came with the last news yesterday. The envoy of the king of Qi made a promise that as long as the Qin army crossed the Shu mountain and advanced east, it would be the day when the Great Qi army attacked Zhao in the west.
Led by Western Qin, combined with the allied forces of Wei, Southern Han, Dayan, and Qi, with a total of nearly 200,000 troops, the ultimate goal of attacking from all directions was Longcheng. The war has risen suddenly, the situation has changed abruptly, and I will not give up until I reach Dragon City!
In the anointed land of the Qianli Plain of Zhao Kingdom, everyone has already coveted it for a long time. There is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the Zhao State and divide its land equally, and no one will not be tempted.
The flames are approaching, and the clouds of war are looming. However, at this moment, the territory of Zhao State is still peaceful.
The Dragon City Jinxiang Palace has officially announced that at the end of this month, a huge hunting event will be held in the hunting ground of the Nine Elements Mountain Palace. And by the way, review the combat capabilities of the Dragoon Army of Zhao State. One of the most exciting contents of this is that Zhao Wang Chulie, who has not appeared in public since last year, will personally participate in the military parade in the Nine Elements Mountain.
At such a critical moment, the movements of Zhao Wang Chulie are undoubtedly the most touching news. And his ability to openly participate in hunting and military parades is enough to prove that he is in good health. The rumors in the outside world that he is terminally ill and dying will be self-defeating. This made all the people of Zhao feel very relieved.
It's just that people outside Jinxiang Palace may never know that this decision will be the last fight made by this king who has guarded the safety of the mountains and rivers of Zhao for forty years with his own strength for his land and subjects!
"Mian'er, this sword and this bow have followed me all over the world for decades, and when you return, I will pass them all on to you...... I hope that in the face of the surging general trend of the world, you will not live up to their edge, let alone live up to this upcoming heroic era! ”
The bow is a carved bow of the Golden Pibao. The sword is the sword of the king of the storm!
The sunset melts gold, and the twilight clouds merge. Chu Lie, who was smiling, looked down at the eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers under the glow of the bloody sunset, condensed the last strength of his body, and waited for the return of his distant son.
The wind from the north has gone from cold to warm when it blows through the mountains and mountains, and the rivers and rivers have blown all the way to Zhongzhou. It was also in the weather of this season that at the foot of Zhongyue Mountain in Los Angeles, a large-scale hunting activity organized by the Zhou royal family finally kicked off vigorously after careful preparation.
In this era of lack of entertainment, hunting in spring and autumn seems to be the only event that can be held without any reason. Whether it is a prince or an ordinary noble family, they can organize to go out of the city to the mountains at any time. What's more, all kinds of large-scale hunting are not only a kind of fun, but also can strengthen the body and train the ability to walk and ride a horse. Why not?
And the hunting convened by the Zhongyue Mountain Hunting Ground in the name of the Son of Heaven is of great significance. Because the younger brother Ji Mo has already conveyed the oracle on behalf of the Great Zhou Tianzi, it is said that there have been divine beasts in Zhongyue Mountain in recent years, and if you have the ability to obtain it in this hunt, you will be summoned by the Son of Heaven, and you will make an exception to agree to one of his requests.
Although I don't know why the Son of Heaven and the royal family made such a promise, there is no doubt that those who heard the news with their own ears were extremely excited in their hearts. Among these people who came to Los Angeles from all over the world, whether it was the princes who had been entitled, or the nobles and princes who led the mission, everyone knew each other well and knew very well what the purpose of this trip to Los Angeles was. If you can use Zhou Tianzi's last remaining prestige to win more or less benefits for yourself, it will be worth the trip.
After all, no matter what you say, as long as this Zhou Tianzi, who has lived for a hundred years, does not die for a day, Luocheng, which represents the social inheritance of the Great Zhou Dynasty, will still exist. At this time when the heroes of Kyushu were eyeing each other, no one dared to defy the existence of the royal court in the face of the world's condemnation.
In many cases, the name of righteousness lies in these seemingly unimportant things. Although everyone knows that Los Angeles and the Son of Heaven are dispensable, it doesn't matter if you only think about it in your heart, if it is really revealed, it may become the target of public criticism. Some of the king's ambitions to sharpen their knives and want to annex and expand day and night have been waiting in the dark for a long time, and they are about to find an excuse to send troops righteously!
All the princes who have the ability to resist the land are not fools. It will not become a target for being attacked by a group because of some low-level mistakes. Therefore, no matter what you think in your heart, as long as you come to Los Angeles, you will make a respectful and polite appearance to the Son of Heaven and the royal family.
The world is so crazy sometimes. Who are the sheep? Who is the wolf again? Until the time when the hideous minions are really exposed, it is difficult to distinguish the drops!
As the organizer of the hunting activities in Zhongyue Mountain, Wang Di Jimo naturally arranged everything well a long time ago. Although it is said that the princes of several major countries did not arrive for various reasons, this time the storm and clouds converged, and the lineup that came to Los Angeles was also very strong. Including the princes and kings of Song, Chu, Wu, Yue and other places, as well as a large number of people led by other ministers, nobles, princes, etc., plus the officials and Janissaries of the Luocheng royal court, a total of tens of thousands of people participated in the event.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had not met with a foreign minister for many years. Even these princes and kings, most of them don't remember what the Son of Heaven looks like. Although this distant and vague ruler of the world is only a symbol, it is still very attractive if there is a real chance to be summoned by him.
Brother Wang Ji Mo walked out of Los Angeles lightly. He ordered the curtain of the carriage to be raised, and looked at the mighty procession in front and behind, and there was no joy, no sorrow. No one knows what's going on in his mind. For many years, he has almost independently supported the last face of the Great Zhou royal family, and his joy and anger are invisible, and he has become a thick mask that must be cultivated.
"The prince of Zhao Kingdom...... Did you go out of town? ”
Hearing his whispered inquiry, the guard officer next to the carriage hurriedly replied, "Duke Mo, Chu Jiangmian, the prince of Zhao, is following behind the team, not far from us. If there is something, you can call him over at any time. ”
The guard, like many others, did not understand why Zimmer would value such an unremarkable young junior. In their opinion, they should take this opportunity to take a good look at the most famous sons. For example, Lanling Jun from the Qi Kingdom of the East China Sea, Wushuang Gongzi from Western Qin, and the Prince of Wei who came on behalf of the King of Wei. These famous talents and heroes must be the people of the future. If we can get their support and form a good relationship in advance, Luocheng and the royal court may get great benefits in the future.
"Don't be alarmed. Since he was able to follow, it was enough...... If possible, order the vigilant Praetorian Guards to take care of his safety. Alas! Hopefully, there won't be any accidents during your stay in Los Angeles. ”
Zimmer sighed. The day before yesterday, Chu Jiangmian was attacked when he returned to the city, and after he heard about it, he was secretly frightened. Fortunately, there was no danger, and Chu Jiangmian was not injured. However, this also made him understand in his heart that the secret strangulation between the vassal states had begun to intensify. Los Angeles, Zhongzhou, where the Son of Heaven is located, has finally and inevitably become a battlefield.
Who would kill this prince of Zhao? Ji Mo thought about it for a long time, but he didn't finally decide. Perhaps, the only thing he can be sure of is that the Zhongzhou region has already killed confidential cloth, and he doesn't know when it will set off a monstrous wave.
"Where the destiny is, it has long been predestined. Jiuding inscription, Luo Shu for the memory. The world is unified, and the restoration is ....... ”
The speeding carriage was a little bumpy, and Zimmer, who was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, had a legend inside the royal family inexplicably in his mind. These words that have been handed down are said to be heavenly machines. If the Great Zhou Dynasty is destined to decay and perish, then the king who will replace it has already been arranged by God!
When he thought of this, his heart was troubled, and he unconsciously became cramped for a while.......
