Chapter 65: The Reward Ceremony! 4/5
"The king, it is true, the king of Wei personally led an army of five thousand to attack Donghe, the south sent the second prince Qing to lead the army to defend the city, but was lured by the king of Wei and went out of the city to meet the battle, and the result was defeated Donghe, the second prince Qing also died under the bow of the king of Wei, after the king of Wei occupied Donghe, he quickly launched an attack on Baiku, and there was no defender in Baiku, and the king of Wei took it without much effort!"
"Take Baiku, the king of Wei still refuses to give up, sent the first fierce general of Wei Gu Wu and five hundred cavalry, invaded Chiliang, the southern kingdom Cheng believed in the Lingjun horn, because of anger and sent three thousand troops to fight with the five hundred cavalry of the Wei army, the result was still defeated, was beheaded more than 2,000 soldiers, the southern country suffered heavy losses, unable to fight again, and then the southern lieutenant Wang Han led his troops to surrender, opened the city gate, welcomed the Wei army into the city, the Wei army entered the city, killed into the palace, captured Changyu alive, and finally declared the destruction of the southern country!"
Zhao He reported again with a surprised expression.
When he received the news, not to mention a shock, he was stunned, as the suzerain, not to mention that he knew Wei very well, but he was also familiar with it, and he knew what Wei was like, but he didn't expect that Wei, which had always been unfavorable, actually destroyed the southern country whose national strength far exceeded his own, which was really surprising and shocking!
"Bastard!" King Lu stood up with an extremely angry expression and scolded angrily.
The destruction of the southern kingdom means that there will be one less subordinate state to pay tribute in the future, and it also means that the Wei state will annex the southern kingdom and become stronger, which is definitely not a good thing for him and even the Lu state!
"Lone told the envoys of Wei with his own hands, and now he actually killed me? Bastard, what the hell is Wei Xuangong going to do, looking for death! King Lu's eyes widened with anger, and his anger could not be lowered, but it became deeper and deeper!
"Hundreds of civil and military officials, the court is on the agenda!" King Lu shouted in a deep voice.
"No!" Zhao He bent down and responded.
After a period of time, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the Shenghua Palace, which was used for court discussions.
"Why did the king summon us? Do you know? ”
"I heard that the southern kingdom was destroyed by the Wei state, and the king summoned us, presumably for this matter!"
"It's really unexpected, is it Wei Guo pretending to be weak and premeditated, or is Wei Guo lucky?"
"Lord He, how can there be good luck or bad luck in the war, it is all the strength of the real chapter, the Wei State can destroy the Southern Kingdom, which shows that the strength is far superior to the Southern Kingdom, and the previous weak appearance does not look like it is pretended, it must be the reason for the new Wei King!"
"I heard that this newly appointed Wei King Wei Xuangong has two sons, and he has engaged in a twenty-rank military merit system and a farmland reclamation system!"
"I've heard of this, but I think that the twenty-rank military merit system is completely ridiculous, how can a lowly untouchable become a nobleman, isn't this a mess!"
"Yes, if it goes on like this, sooner or later the Wei State will be messed up!"
"The farmland reclamation system is also ridiculous, how can the land be owned by the people, how can those pedantic people know how to manage good land, haha, I believe that in less than a year, the harvest of Wei is afraid that it will not be less than half of the perennial year!"
"yes, yes!"
Before King Lu came, all the civil and military officials were all joules, whispering, some officials were shocked by the destruction of the southern kingdom of Wei, and some officials were sneering at the new system of the Wei state, and they were not optimistic about the Wei state.
"The king has arrived!"
A sharp voice sounded in vain, and the civil and military officials quickly closed their mouths, stood in a good position, and looked solemn!
King Lu walked out of the apse, climbed on the high platform, and sat on the king's chair gently, at this time, King Lu's face was still angry, it seemed that the southern kingdom was destroyed, and he was really angry.
"I summoned all of you Aiqing today, just for one thing, the matter of Wei destroying the southern country, I think you have some understanding of this time, talk about it, what do you think about it!" King Lu looked solemn and said in a low tone.
When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other, and after a few breaths, Zhang He, the prime minister of the year of the sixtieth year, stood up from the civil official queue, bent down with a wat board in his hand and said: "King Qiqi, the Wei State destroys the Southern Kingdom, and must make explanations and compensation, although the Southern State is at fault first, and the crime does not destroy the country, the minister suggests that the Wei State should hand over the 200,000 stone grain that was robbed of the Southern Kingdom, release Changyu, and the occupied cities will also be returned countless times, and Changyu will be restored!" ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
The civil and military officials stood up very tacitly and agreed with Zhang He's method.
"Then what if Wei Guo refuses?" King Lu thought of something and asked again.
"How dare Wei State be unwilling, if not, he should display the border pass with a large army to deter Wei State!"
A middle-aged burly man wearing a "Qilin Roar" court uniform, with a powerful appearance and a Chinese character face, shouted with a fierce face.
This person's name is Gao Hai, the official residence is too lieutenant, the position is Shangqing, and the name is Wu Longjun!
Gao Hai is not only a high-ranking official and a high lord, but also the first fierce general of the Lu country, once in a major war, he killed three generals of the enemy army and more than 60 ordinary soldiers, and his strength is strong!
King Lu nodded, satisfied with this reply, and then his face turned straight, and he called softly: "Where is the pawn!" ”
"Wu Hong, the courtier, listens to the king's order!" A minister in his fifties with a long beard walked out of the civil official queue and answered, this person was Wu Hong, a guest of the Lu State!
"Lone ordered you to set off and inform the King of Wei to release Changyu and return all the grain cities taken from the south, if not, the army will crush the border!" King Lu immediately ordered decisively.
"No!" Wu Hong bent down and responded.
.....................
Time passed slowly, and the next day, at noon, the king of Wei was exiled from the city.
In the open space outside the palace hall, five thousand Wei troops stood neatly in rows and columns, all kinds of troops formed in wartime formations, and the black-faced and red-edged "Wei" character Xuanniao military flag fluttered in the wind, making the scene very spectacular and majestic!
Wei Li stood at the door of the Taizheng Palace, wearing a crown robe, wearing a nine-string beaded crown, wearing a black hat on his feet, and looking at the five thousand soldiers below with a staring eye, a king's power rose to the sky, making the ministers and soldiers present all awe-inspired!
"Alone to destroy the southern country, with the help of all the kings, today, lonely to fulfill the promise, on the merits of the reward!" Wei Li suppressed his throat and shouted vigorously.
When all the soldiers heard this, they were very excited, since the class returned to the court, they could wake up every day when they slept in bed, and they all dreamed of the day of the reward, and those soldiers who did not kill the enemy were a little lost, and looked at Tongze with great envy.
"Zhao Hua!" Wei Li shouted!
"The minister is here!" Zhao Hua shouted back.
"Read!" Wei Li shouted again.
"No!" Zhao Hua replied again.
Zhao Hua straightened his posture, glanced at the five thousand soldiers below with a solemn expression, and then took out a bamboo slip, and shouted loudly: "Big Niu, kill three enemies, get the second-class title to build, a house, two servants, that is, from today, you can receive 50 stones per month, and the military salary is calculated separately, and two stones were not issued last month, and now the military salary, knighthood, house deed, and two servants will be issued together!" ”
