Chapter Ninety-Four: The Parties After the Alliance
The alliance in the Luoshui camp was expected to last for a long time, after all, this was related to the deployment of the next step of the coalition army on the banks of the Luoshui River, and after the war, under the acquiescence of the Central Plains countries, the land and population of the grassland tribes could get, which required careful discussion between the two sides of the alliance.
However, after a cup of tea, everyone naturally acquiesced to this important gathering, and it ended hastily, and the clouds and rain stopped, but the face of Gan Lu Tan, the patriarch of the Bairong clan, seemed to be a little unfinished.
However, although it did not involve the division of interests, the original intention of the Eight Grassland Kingdoms to unite with Wei to break the Qin was once again affirmed by both sides, but there were obviously some differences between the two sides of the alliance about the post-war situation.
"Thief, it's really hateful", and after the camp meeting was over, Yiqu Wang Fa, who had always been gentle and elegant on the surface and smiling on his face, could no longer hold back, and was furious in his big tent, cursing constantly with a hideous face.
His crazy and terrifying roar made the Kanda, Uganqi, and the current leader of the Shanyi tribe, Ji Zhe, who came to the camp behind, who held the position of the general of the Yiqu country, and Ji Zhe, the current leader of the Shanyi tribe, shushed each other, stood outside the tent of the king of Yiqu, and did not dare to enter the camp to meet him for a long time.
After a while, the sound of cursing from the camp and the sound of King Yiqu splitting the utensils in the camp slowly disappeared, and then he saw a face bruised and swollen, full of shoe prints, trembling guards out of the camp, King Yiqu summoned the three people outside the camp, and the three people outside the camp entered the king's tent with a hard head.
"The last general, meet the Great Khan", as soon as the three of them entered the camp, they immediately buried their heads and knelt down.
Yiqu Wang Fa, who had already vented, looked at the three people who looked like they were fighting below at this time, and had no desire to be angry, picked up the wine that had just been changed on the table in front of him, drank it all, and then looked at the three of them and said directly: "How are things going?" ”
With the question of King Yiqu, the three people on the ground trembled inexplicably in an instant, and leaned over and whispered: "Roughly... Properly".
"Huh? ...", Yiqu Wang Fa listened to the answers of the three people in the camp, and suddenly his face tightened, staring at the three people. However, when he looked at the three people in front of him prostrate on the ground, scared, the words of reproach behind him were not said after all.
After all, the things he explained were not so easy to succeed in the first place, not to mention that the other tribes on the grassland now obviously had other thoughts, and it was not easy for things to be largely completed. Now, if you severely punish the right-hand man in front of you, I am afraid that it will hurt the hearts of the generals in the camp.
Seeing this, King Yiqu sighed in his heart, at this time, he still had to calm the hearts of the people in the camp, so he said: "Alas, the three of them are all capable ministers and generals of my Yiqu country, why have they been lying on the ground for a long time?" Then let the guards in the camp set up wine and food for the three people in front of him, and located them below him.
After the three of them entered the table with pale faces, Yiqu Wang Fa, who was once again gentle, benevolent, righteous and virtuous, continued to say gently: "You have done your best for my Yiqu country, and this great Khan will never forget it.
As long as my Yiqu country is still there, this Great Khan will share wealth with you, women, wealth, and this Great Khan will not hesitate to reward", after Yiqu Wang Fa finished speaking, he got up and toasted three glasses to the three people in the hall to show the sincerity of his oath just now.
Kanda, Uganqi and Ji Zhe in the hall, after a few glasses of hot wine, I don't know whether they were moved by the words of King Yiqu, or glad that they came back from the dead, their faces suddenly burst into tears, and they quickly got up and swore that they were only willing to be loyal to King Yiqu in their lives and die for the Great Khan.
Seeing that the tense atmosphere in the camp was gradually disappearing, Yiqu Wang Fa asked, "What is the situation of the various tribes in the camp now?" ”。
Kanda, when Uganda heard the inquiry of the king of Yiqu, he immediately put down the wine glasses in his hand, looked at each other, and then raised his hand and said: "Qi Song Great Khan, my son of Yiqu country, morale is high, and I can't wait to kill out of the camp at this time and make contributions to the Great Khan."
And the three kingdoms of Baixi, Dongrong, and Qian, who came to make friends with me in Yiqu on weekdays, have not made any changes since the alliance between the king and the Wei envoys, according to the last general's investigation, and they are also eager to follow the king out of the camp and plunder the Qin people. ”
And with the words of the two of them, Yiqu Wang Fa, who was originally sitting on the throne without any expression on his face, suddenly burst into some smiles when he heard that the sons and daughters of all ethnic groups in the camp were willing to make contributions to him.
However, the current Yiqu Wang Fa wants to investigate the news is obviously not these.
After all, from the confrontation between himself and the Wei envoy just now, Yiqu Wang Fa suddenly discovered that among the various clans that seemed to be low to themselves on weekdays, there were still so many people who were unconvinced, and now he wanted to find out these damn guys.
"Huh? Other races? While listening to the report of his subordinates in front of him, Yiqu Wang Fa, who was thinking about how to solve it in his heart, originally planned to think about it further, but the sound of the announcement in his ears stopped abruptly, so he subconsciously asked.
But when the King of Yiqu came back to his senses and looked at Kanda in front of him, the nervous expression on Uganqi's face, so he said in a loud voice: "Others? ”。
Looking at the irresistible eyes of the king in front of them, the two of them suddenly panicked, but they also had to say truthfully: "The patriarch of the Huangrong clan, after the end of the alliance, took the initiative to visit the Wei envoy who lived in the Bairong camp."
Perhaps they were worried that the king in front of them would be angry because of the rebellious behavior of the Huang Rong clan, so the two of them hurriedly added: "But please rest assured, the king has dispatched soldiers and horses to secretly monitor the Huang Rong clan."
But when the king of Yiqu in front of him heard this, he immediately said: "Stupid", which frightened the two of them to accuse one after another.
"How did King Linhu reply?" , Looking at the two people in front of him who were so frightened and frightened at every turn, and had no responsibility, Yiqu Wang Fa didn't plan to explain to them, rashly monitoring at this time would not only startle the grass and snakes, but also might make the Huang Rong clan, who didn't want to turn against him, completely fall to the side of Bai Rong, so he asked directly with a bad face.
At this time, Ji Zhe on the side, seeing the two Yiqu generals beside him, only knew the appearance of repeated accusations, and sighed in his heart, so he got up and said: "Qiyu Great Khan, King Linhu, it seems that he is ready to lead his troops back."
"Haha, it's really a defeated army, and it's overwhelmed", Yiqu Wang Fa was also shocked when he heard what Ji Zhe said, and then laughed.
After all, who would have thought that King Lin Hu, who was slightly threatened by the Wei envoy in the daytime and thought that he had more than 50,000 troops, would be so afraid that he planned to go home, wouldn't this be a loss of face for the eight countries of the grassland?
However, although King Yiqu Fa was full of disdain for what King Lin Hu had done at this time, he actually looked at it calmly in his heart, and was even very happy.
The reason for this is that although Linhu is also located in the Eight Grassland Kingdoms, in the final analysis, it does not belong to the grassland tribes in the north of the native Qin State, but is composed of the remnants of the Donghu tribe defeated by the Zhao State when it expanded its territory to the north.
Therefore, King Yiqu rejected Lin Hu from the bottom of his heart, after all, in King Yiqu's view, if he Yiqu State unified the northern part of Qin State, then all the grassland forces in the north of Qin State, including Lin Hu, would be his enemy;
Moreover, in the eyes of Yiqu Wang Fa, this is the first time that the nomads near the Zhou Dynasty have the opportunity to participate in the internal affairs of the Zhou Dynasty in the name of justice, which is definitely epoch-making.
After all, in the past, whether it was Rong Di or the Lin Hu people, although they were powerful, they were all invaders for the Zhou royal family and were rejected by the Central Plains countries.
And in the eyes of Yiqu Wang Fa, no matter how powerful Rong Di and Lin Hu were before, they never completely defeated the Zhou royal family in the south. In the final analysis, the reason is that the Rongdi people and the Linhu people have never regarded the land of the Zhou royal family as their own land, and the people of the Zhou royal family look at the people under their command, just as fat sheep who stay there.
This is also the reason why Rong Di broke through Haojing in one fell swoop and destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty, but he was not able to conquer the world, and repeatedly successfully invaded the Central Plains, but was always blocked from the rich Central Plains. After all, all they have been thinking about in their hearts from beginning to end is that small grassland, and if they don't have the world in their hearts, how can they have this world?
And from the beginning of the founding of the country, he Yiqu was different from those short-sighted steppe tribes. Since no matter how strong the foreign enemy is, it can't attack the world, so why not fight for the world with the face of a foreign race, but with a reasonable identity of the Zhou family.
Therefore, since his father, he has introduced the Central Plains people, given them a certain status, and even official positions, instead of treating them as slaves to be slaughtered, learning and absorbing the culture of the Central Plains people, and using the culture of the Zhou family to develop the national strength of Yiqu, which is also the reason why Yiqu Wang Fa looks down on the other seven grassland countries from the bottom of his heart.
But now the eight kingdoms of the grassland are dividing the land of the Zhou Dynasty in a bright and bright manner, and with this opportunity, these alien races can successfully join the sequence of the current Zhou princes competing for hegemony, and compete with the princes of the Zhou Dynasty for this world, which is exactly what he Yiqu and the two generations of Great Khans dreamed of.
And now, King Lin Hu is ready to return home, for Yiqu Wang Fa, it means that Yiqu has one less powerful opponent in the world, how can Yiqu Wang Fa not be happy?
However, now that King Linhu has retreated, it is not good news for the entire eight kingdoms of his grassland, so King Yiqu said to Ji Zhe gently: "Lao Shan Hydroxy Khan, Daiben Khan conveyed to King Linhu that my Yiqu Kingdom is willing to use 5,000 sheep, as well as 50 beauties, and 300 pairs of Central Plains armor as the reward for King Linhu's army."
When Ji Zhe heard this, he immediately understood the intention of the Yiqu King in front of him, after all, King Lin Hu was greedy for beauty and money, which was known to the entire Eight Kingdoms of the Grassland.
If Yiqu is willing to pay such a big price, it is impossible to say that King Linhu will cancel the intention of withdrawing the army, after all, it may be that the Eight Kingdoms of the Grassland are now spending here for a long time, but there is no gain, but they will be threatened by the Central Plains Alliance, so King Linhu has the intention of withdrawing his army.
So, Ji Zhe said: "Follow the orders of the Great Khan."
But just as Ji Zhe was about to retire and go to deliver the message, he heard the king of Yiqu in front of him facing Kanda, and Ugan Qi said in a deep voice: "Get up, don't kowtow again."
The two of you will secretly lead 20,000 men from our Yiqu headquarters tonight to ambush in the place where King Linhu must retreat. If King Linhu insists on withdrawing his troops, the two of you will completely wipe out his entire army, and then cover up and kill Linhu by the way, and capture Linhu in one fell swoop, do you know? ”
When Ji Zhe heard this, his big shoulders and thick waist trembled instantly, after all, who would have thought that King Yiqu, who had just let himself persuade King Lin Hu, turned around and let his subordinates sneak attack King Lin Hu's army, waiting for an opportunity to annex Lin Hu Kingdom.
