Chapter 222: The Mountain Wolf on the Side of the Couch
The Marquis of Zhongshan, who gathered a few small princes to come to Los Angeles to "discuss the law", did not have such great courage. The reason why he dared to defy the world's condemnation and openly take the lead in bullying the Son of Heaven was because someone lent him "guts".
The cause of the incident is no longer important, the truth behind it and who is right and who is wrong are not worth mentioning at all in the face of huge interests. If paying for a few people's lives can be exchanged for unimaginable benefits, then this deal is too good a deal!
As a small prince close to Zhongzhou, the Marquis of Zhongshan is more suitable as a merchant than a monarch. In his eyes, everything is not important except for benefits, and there is nothing that cannot be exchanged.
The strength of the small Zhongshan country is too thin. If it weren't for Zhongzhou, where the Son of Heaven was located, I am afraid that it would have been swallowed up by other great princes long ago. The Marquis of Nakayama, who has the potential to be a businessman, is of course well aware of this. Therefore, over the years, he has been holding the thighs of the Great Zhou royal family, and while ensuring his own safety, he has also received great benefits.
In the eyes of the world, compared with the fierce armor of the Qin and Wei states, Zhongshan Kingdom, like the surrounding small princes, is just a docile sheep. But today, when they really showed their fangs, the people of Los Angeles realized that they were not sheep, but wolves!
The Zhongshan wolf is the most rampant. Once you pounce on it, you will never give up if you don't bite off a few pieces of meat hard. Especially if someone gives them weapons and confidence, they will not only eat meat, but also drink blood and gnaw bones!
The five small princes led by Zhongshan Guo gathered together had a total of more than 10,000 people. The mighty slaughter came to Los Angeles. For them, this is the first time that such a large-scale war has been held!
The Marquis of Zhongshan personally dispatched. This little prince, who looked very cunning at a glance, did not hide his intentions from the bottom of his heart. Before sending out the army, he had already exchanged anger with the other kings, and everyone knew it. Since there is a strong force to back it up, what are you afraid of? Such a good opportunity, if it is not firmly grasped, then when the whole world is really turbulent in the future, they will die without a backer.
Hearing that the Marquis of Zhongshan personally went to battle with the army, those small princes naturally did not fall behind. They each walked out of the royal capital surrounded by pro-army and joined the team.
Soon after, the five minor princes gathered together, and when they joined forces, they couldn't help but compliment each other, and began to march towards Los Angeles together. The more than 10,000 people who have made do with it are already all their family foundations. This time it can be described as an all-or-nothing bet, and it is bound to win.
"Marquis Zhongshan, what should I do when I arrive in Los Angeles? If you go straight in...... What should I do that day? ”
During the march of the army, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked this most troublesome question. Although the Great Zhou Tianzi is in name only, he is a final symbol after all. If this death were at the hands of these people, no one could predict what would happen in the future. And that's what worries them the most.
"It's too early to say that...... Di Hou, don't think about it so much just yet. It's not too late to wait until you enter L.A.! ”
Zhongshan Hou narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the marching team in front of him, and secretly sneered in his heart. He knew more than the other minor princes, and there were some things he didn't tell them all. If you want to get the most out of it, you have to keep some secrets. This is his consistent style of acting, and it is also a means to protect the Zhongshan Kingdom.
Di Hou, who was traveling side by side with his carriage, was a monarch from the Di Kingdom. Hearing him say this, it is naturally difficult to continue to ask. However, he poked his head in the carriage, and finally asked again uneasily.
"I heard that the Praetorian Guard in Los Angeles also has some combat effectiveness, so before we arrive, let's let the generals of our army plan carefully! so as not to cause large casualties...... I don't have a lot of money! I've already taken it out. Hehe! ”
Hearing his joking tone, Zhongshan Hou also laughed. In fact, neither they nor the other three princes were too worried about the outcome of this trip. Los Angeles had only 5,000 men in total, and they hadn't fought in years. Under such favorable conditions, it would be too embarrassing to defeat them if they still couldn't beat them!
"Praetorian Guard? They can also fight? Most of them were gentlemen who came from the declining aristocratic families of this decadent dynasty, maintaining their last remaining so-called dignity, and protecting the royal family to hunt and participate in rituals. It is said that some of them have never seen blood with knives in their hands...... Hehe! If the Zhou royal family wants to rely on them to fight against our army, it is simply a mantis arm blocking the car, and it is beyond their means! ”
"The Marquis of Zhongshan is right! The royal court of Los Angeles is mediocre, and everyone else has nothing to fear. It's just that Brother Zimmer has to be guarded against! ”
Zimmer...... Even if he had some means, it wasn't a big deal. The so-called building will fall, and it is difficult to support it alone! The Great Zhou royal family has relied on him inside and out all these years, and must have been exhausted. On the day when the army besieged Los Angeles, if you have any conditions, I want to see what he will say! Hahaha! ”
The Marquis of Zhongshan couldn't help but laugh proudly. A few of the little princes in the carriage around were also smiling happily. I heard that there are many treasures in the Great Zhou royal family! The thought that maybe it would not be long before they could return with a full load of money shone greedily in everyone's eyes.
"Marquis Zhongshan, everyone...... You say, if Zimmer can't hold L.A., will he ask for help? ”
Among these people, Di Hou was the oldest and considered the most. Seeing that he frowned slightly, he still seemed to have some concerns, and the Marquis of Zhongshan waved his hand at him proudly, deciding to reveal some inside information so that everyone could be completely reassured.
"Di Hou, you don't have to worry about this. From what I know of Zimmer, he certainly won't sit still. Going out for help is a certainty. However, it is in vain to ask someone to help! ”
What do you mean by that? ...... the Marquis of Zhongshan? ”
"It's easy! Because the army of the Qin State has already been dispatched, if we are not able to fight well, the Qin army will come to the aid at any time! With their tiger and wolf army blocking the border of Zhongzhou, which prince in this world dares to act rashly?! ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several small princes widened. They were surprised and delighted, it turned out that there was a powerful help from the Qin State behind this! So what's so scary? No wonder the Marquis of Zhongshan is so confident.
Under the invigoration of spirit, he urged the whole army to speed up, and in less than two days, the tall and majestic city walls of Los Angeles appeared in view. What they didn't expect was that since they entered the Zhongzhou territory, they hadn't even encountered the slightest resistance. There is no doubt that all the armies here have been shrunk to defend L.A.
This army of more than 10,000 people set up camp 50 miles east of the city for a temporary rest. Soon, the envoys sent from the city arrived. Facing the envoy's questioning, the Marquis of Zhongshan was not polite at all. In a stern tone, he put forward the first condition, and asked the envoy to go back and convey it to the royal brother Zimmer to know.
"Tie the murderer out of the city, and I will punish him with my own hands to avenge the dead messengers!"
A quarter of an hour later, Zimmer, who was standing at the head of the twilight city, listened to the angry return of the envoy, but his face did not show the slightest anger. Anger won't solve anything, and now that the army is already in the city, you must be ready for a big battle.
"Mo Gong! These guys are just too deceitful...... Gongzi is a royal nobleman, how can he be handed over to them? How much benefit has the Marquis of Zhongshan received from Los Angeles over the years? But I didn't expect that En would take revenge, and take advantage of this opportunity to raise troops to threaten, which is really a crime that cannot be punished! ”
Several of the ministers who were also standing at the head of the city were furious. Seeing that the army outside the city had launched a siege, everyone felt cold. Zimmer stroked the city wall that had endured hundreds of years of wind and rain with his hand, and there was sadness in his eyes, and there were even more vicissitudes in his eyes.
"What's the use of talking about that now? It is doubtful that the Marquis of Zhongshan could be so bold. This also shows that he and the other guys have always had wolf ambitions, even if they don't make trouble now, they will show their fangs sooner or later in the future...... Alas! Order the whole army to guard it tightly and prepare for tomorrow's battle. ”
Zimmer sighed and passed the military order. What worries him the most now is not the princes' armies outside the city, but the commanders behind them. It's just that the blood shadow hasn't sent accurate news back yet, and although he has some guesses in his heart, he hasn't been finally confirmed.
"I hope I'm overthinking...... I don't know where Gongzi is now, I hope he can reach Zhao Kingdom safely! ”
Zimmer's heart was surging and he prayed secretly. Just two days ago, when he learned that the princes were coming to attack, he finally made a decision on the spot after careful consideration. Immediately send someone to Zhao to ask for help! And the person he chose to take on this important mission was the one who had already put on his armor and was ready to fight.
"The situation in Los Angeles is critical, and now only Zhao has the ability to save him. Although Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian is young, I have interacted with him twice, and I will not be wrong about him...... You must put this letter in his hands no matter what, and I am sure that he will not stand idly by. ”
"Uncle Wang! They are here for me, and I want to stay in L.A. and fight to the death! Why ask outsiders for ....... ”
"Confused! Things are far from that simple...... Go for it! If it's late, L.A. will be closed! ”
Gongzi heard what he said so seriously, and he was shocked and had to obey the order, he took Ji Mo's handwritten book, and went straight to Zhao Guo without stopping.
Zimmer was not wrong at all. Just a day after the princes' army besieged Los Angeles, the news finally came back from the Blood Shadow.
"There is an army known as King Qin on the border of Zhongzhou...... However, it was not the Zhao army, but the Qin army! ”
