Chapter 205: A Time of Chaos (2)
Xie Qishui ordered his soldiers to take a basin of cold water and regained some consciousness a little, and immediately began to prepare for deployment. All the soldiers were quietly woken up, and in order to avoid exposure, they chose to loosen the outside and tighten the inside.
There was nothing unusual about the outposts on the perimeter, and the soldiers on patrol were still the same as the previous reconnaissance results. The Qin State scouts on the periphery looked at the guards patrolling around them as they had scouted before, and immediately reported the news to Meng Qian.
"Very good, the current Wei army has not noticed it, now is the time for us to do it." Meng Jian began to give the final order to attack.
The army of tigers and wolves, known as the king of Qin, finally showed their minions to Lu Zhan, on the one hand, the elite of the Qin State, which had long been famous, and on the other hand, the new recruits of the musket team who had just emerged. The duel between traditional and modern battles is quite a kind of Monk Greenqin's posture in the battle of Bali Bridge against the British.
As soon as the Chu State heard that a great war broke out in Hexi, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State were eager to celebrate with their crowns. The two-front battle of the Qin State is bound to be quite difficult, as long as Jingwen can persist in fighting with the Qin army, the recovery of Shu is simply just around the corner.
"Your Majesty, this messenger has returned with the documents of the Marquis of Wei. When will this Princess Weihou be delivered, and when will the covenant be reached. ”
Hearing this news, the King of Chu was even happier, such a capable prince was already feared by the surrounding forces, but after having such a lustful characteristic, it would make the surrounding heroes feel at ease.
Such a person who indulges his desires will definitely not live long. Such a person will definitely end up dying in the gentle countryside.
"Inform the palace to prepare to leave immediately, and all the matters related to marriage have already been prepared. Lonely's eldest daughter is really still so beautiful and fragrant, and she is all over the country. The King of Chu couldn't wait to start urging his subordinates.
Although Qin and Wei have now fought each other, but I heard that Meng Jian sent troops without authorization this time, once he failed, maybe the king of Qin would remove Meng Jian from his post to appease the anger of Wei. In this way, the Wei State may also take advantage of the situation to collect troops, after all, the current Lu Zhan's target is not the Qin State, but the remnants of the declining Sanjin land.
"The slave will go to the queen to report it, but the princess doesn't seem to want to get married, if she runs and talks halfway...... the eunuch doesn't dare to continue.
This princess wants to keep a festival for her ex-husband and refuses to remarry, but the will of the state is above the individual. Therefore, the concubines in the harem of King Chu are taking turns to persuade them.
But no matter how much others persuaded her, the eldest princess Xiong Ning refused.
"Hmph, Lone's daughter is indeed a little stubborn. Lone will personally persuade him, this is for the great cause of the Chu State, everything is worth it. ”
The current court of the Qin State is similar to the vegetable market, and the main battle faction and the peace faction are not lively. On the one hand, he advocated that he should begin to mobilize the only remaining troops in the country to drive to Hexi, and by the way, launch a large-scale military mobilization within the country, and must seize Hexi before Lu Zhan became stronger.
The Yihe faction advocated that now that Shu had just been occupied, all kinds of things needed to be arranged. Moreover, it has just experienced a major war, and the current treasury of the Qin State is about to bottom out. "In my opinion, the Lu family must be afraid of our Qin State, and want me to directly send troops to the border of Hexi to force Lu Zhan to obediently give up the land of Hexi, if you don't open it, you will fight it directly, our Qin State's athletes are not vegetarians." A big man dressed in military uniform spoke, although he was deliberately lowering his voice, his voice was still like a bell.
"No, right now, the monarch is seriously ill and can't use swords. It's better to talk to the Lu family, I don't know if we can solve the problem of Hexi peacefully, and it's not a problem to pay some money and grain and grass, we have had a bumper harvest in recent years, wouldn't it be beautiful to use money to save the lives of the soldiers. A man dressed as a civilian official also stood up, and in his opinion, it was better to negotiate a deal than to make a big war with the Lu family.
This battle will hurt both, and peace will benefit both. The money and grain consumed by this war are also a literary figure, and the grain and grass are transported to the soldiers, and the pension of the soldiers is a lot of money. Moreover, this Wei Hou Lu Zhan also has a firearms unit, which is rumored to be amazingly powerful, not like the cherry blossoms in the world
"You poor literati who can only dance and write will only negotiate, such a big land as our Qin State was fought by war, but you didn't negotiate it with your tongue."
Looking at the civil and military factions, the more fierce they are, the more they move, where will these literati be the opponents of these soldiers. If you really want to make a move, I'm afraid that ten civilian officials can't beat a military attaché.
"That's it! Shut up! Ming still depends on how His Royal Highness the Prince of the World arranges, and now that the Chu State is constantly moving on the border of Shu, it cannot be ruled out that the Chu State has already known the news that the monarch is seriously ill and is ready to take advantage of the situation. With Jingwen's leadership, he may be able to fight back to Shu, and the current focus is to guard against the barbarians of Chu. ”
The Lu family really had the strength to form a powerful country in the eastern part of the Qin State. Although the current Lu family is divided into two branches, Lu Zhan and cousin Lu Tingchen, the reason that the brothers fight together to resist their humiliation is not groundless.
The second wave of envoys of the Chu State with the friendly envoys were already on the way here, and when they left the territory of the Chu State, the eldest princess Xiong Ning ordered the convoy to stop and looked back in the direction of Jiangling, the capital of the Chu State.
"In front of the princess is the territory of the Wei State, and in front of it is Duan Han, the commander-in-chief of the secret guard above 10,000 people under the entire Wei State. Out of the border is the territory of Wei, so it's better not to let the other party wait too long. The messenger looked at the hesitant princess and persuaded.
The king specially instructed the envoy to take care of it along the way, because the caries princess in the palace would not be able to think about it. If something happened on the way, the covenant would be in vain, and what if something happened in the Hou Mansion of the Marquis of Wei.
"Don't worry, since you promised your father, this palace will naturally not do anything that violates the alliance between the two countries."
"The princess is serious, there is a border ahead."
Duan Han looked at the frame of Chu Guo from a distance and spit out the grass in his mouth.
"Lord Duan, this princess of the Chu State is almost the same as the envoy. It's all a broken ......," the secret guard who accompanied Duan Han couldn't help but complain.
"Break what! Pay attention to your words, she will be one of the many ladies of the Hou Ye in the future. ”
"It's the subordinates' who are wrong." Although this secret guard was wrong in his mouth, he still looked down on it in his heart. Although Lu Zhan has always pursued an open-door policy, it may take years or even decades to change the concept of Rao.
