Chapter 82: Alliance
"Emperor Zhao has all the opportunities, diligent government for the people, is the blessing of the people of Zhao, has the style of virtuous gentlemen and benevolence, and is admired by the world. Su Yu said with a light smile.
I didn't say forgiveness or forgiveness, but I just stated the fact that a king neglected your guests for the sake of the people, and of course there was also an accusation of your hospitality.
Naturally, the negotiation cannot go on according to the other party's words, otherwise it will fall into a passive situation.
Zhao Cun smiled indifferently: "What does the Chu envoy think of my Zhao State?" ”
"The people are rich and the country is rich, the kings and saints are virtuous, and they are full of vitality."
"How is that compared to Chu?"
"Not so much." Su Yu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
A Zhao Chen angrily pointed at Su Yu and said: "Bold fanatics, how can they be compared with my Great Zhao Kingdom?" ”
Su Yu bowed and said: "In the next retraction of what I just said, Zhao Guo is a fool for the monarch and saints, and I am afraid that there is a danger of decay." ”
These words were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and all Zhao Chen were furious: "The skin of the erector maniac dares to come to my Zhao Court to make such wild words, is it to deceive me that there is no one in the Zhao Kingdom?" ”
"The husband insulted me too much, Your Majesty, such a madman should be beaten with a stick, and he will never be allowed to enter my Zhao country."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
……
Zhao Cun stretched out his hand to press falsely, signaled the ministers to be quiet, and then looked at Su Yu and said: "This time, Wei and Liang secretly formed an alliance and attacked Chu at the same time, isn't there a danger of losing the country in Chu?" ”
Su Yu smiled confidently and arched his hand: "My Chu country is in danger of the big river, and Wei Liang has no elite water army, does Emperor Zhao think that my Chu is in danger of losing the country?" ”
looked around and said: "I Chu is not in danger of losing the country, but Zhao is definitely in danger of losing the country. ”
As soon as these words came out, the anger that the ministers had just calmed down came out again, and General Zhao Lei Ying came out and said: "Ridiculous, Wei Liang attacked your Chu State, how can my Zhao State be in danger of losing the country?" Could it be that you, this erection, see your Chu State as my Zhao State? ”
After speaking, he laughed, and all the ministers laughed, only the few important ministers above the first place frowned, as if they were thinking about the meaning of Su Yu's painting.
Emperor Zhao's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his majesty was even greater, and he said, "What does Chu Envoy mean by this?" ”
Su Yu replied: "Wei Liang attacked my Great Chu, my Great Chu is indeed difficult to resist, the decline of national strength is inevitable, but there is no danger of losing the country, because my Chu country has a big river and a moat, Wei Liang has no elite naval army, and my Chu naval army is invincible in the world, Wei Liang will not be able to cross the river, so he has to look at the river and sigh." How could Wei Liang be so willing? Bixing troops attack Zhao, although Zhao is strong, but I am afraid that it is not enough to fight with one enemy and two, right? What's more, it is one enemy and three, so even if Zhao Guo does not die, I am afraid that he will have to go to Saibei to herd horses. ”
"Why is one against three?" Zhao Chen couldn't help but ask out loud.
After listening to Su Yu's words, their anger had already been extinguished, and their eyebrows and eyes changed to a melancholy color.
Su Yu said loudly: "Yan State, my Chu State has no trouble in the south, but Zhao State has trouble in the north. Our emperor didn't want the decline of national strength, and he couldn't bear to witness the collapse of his neighbor Zhao, who had been friendly for generations, so he sent him down again to submit his credentials, wanting to form an alliance with Chu and Zhao and jointly resist the Wei Liang army. ”
After speaking, he took out the national credentials and presented them with both hands.
This is the mouth of the Zongheng family, obviously there is a request for others, but it has become to help others through the suffering, such as the Warring States Zhang Yi asked for the city from the Wei State for the Qin State, and it was obviously for the city to beg for the city, but it became me for your good.
But Zhao Guojunchen is not stupid, how can he be frightened by a few words from him? Emperor Zhao smiled: "What a sharp mouth, there are not many talents like Chu in the Chu State!" ”
"I have a lot of talents, but I don't know how many talents there are like me." Su Yu said.
Emperor Zhao was stunned for a moment, thinking that he would say as much as a cow's hair, and he would not be ranked in the Chu State or something, but he didn't expect him to say that he didn't know. But it was just a moment, and he said: "Zhao and Chu are not bordering, there is no conflict of interests, and the world is a friendly country, Chu wants to form a good alliance with my Zhao State, and I am also happy to see it, but this time Wei Liang invaded Chu State, Chu State wants to ask my Zhao State to send troops to relieve the siege, and it should also be sincere, and the grain and grass of my Zhao State are not scraped." ”
"My Chu State is naturally sincerely allied, and my emperor is willing to give 100,000 taels of silver to Zhao State as military funds." Su Yu said.
At this time, a palace guard walked in, handed a silk silk to the eunuch who was waiting by Emperor Zhao's side and whispered, the eunuch's face flashed with surprise, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly presented the silk silk to Emperor Chu, and conveyed the words of the guard just now.
Emperor Zhao's expression also changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly opened the silk silk, closed his eyes after reading the contents inside, took a deep breath, opened his tiger eyes, looked at Su Yu and said, "Okay, I, Zhao Guo, am willing to be in alliance with the country, and I am also willing to send troops to help." ”
After Emperor Zhao finished speaking, the ministers below were very surprised, because the military resources they discussed and asked for were far more than 100,000!
Why did Your Majesty change his mind because he read a letter? What exactly is written?
Su Yu was also a little surprised, there is a discussion before there is a discussion, he didn't want to let Zhao Guo send troops for 100,000, but the price was a little lower, so there was room for bargaining. However, his expression was not obvious, and he said indifferently: "Emperor Chu is wise." ”
Who wouldn't want to get things done with less money? It's just that what was written in that secret letter just now?
After signing the letter of state and stamping the seal, Su Yu's task of this trip was successfully completed, and after the trip with Emperor Zhao, he withdrew from the main hall and walked out of the palace, and the people who were waiting outside the palace gate greeted him, and hurriedly handed him a secret letter in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty's secret letter to Gongzi." ”
Su Yu looked up at the sky after reading it, and muttered, "It's a loss." ”
In the hall of Zhao State, after Su Yu left, facing the puzzled looks of the ministers, Zhao Cun said: "The Chu army defeated the Liang army, causing the Liang army to shrink Luoyin City and hold on, even if there is no Chu State's 100,000 military resources, I will decide to send troops to attack Liang." ”
The ministers were a little surprised when they heard the news, and after glancing at each other, they all bowed their hands and said: "My emperor is wise, and our army will win." ”
Emperor Zhao sighed and said with some envy: "Chu State is really full of talents!" It was not the King of Qin who defeated the Liang army, nor the general of the Chu State, but a young man named Chen Rui who had never heard of it, or defeated the 100,000 Liang army with an army of 30,000, and took the opportunity to attack the camp of the Liang army, so that the Liang army retreated to Luoyin City. ”
……
The court of Liangguo, since receiving the news of the defeat, Emperor Liang has become a little tyrannical, with a gloomy face all day long, and all the ministers are silent in front of him.
And today can be said to be worse, because Zhao Guo's war letter was delivered, Zhao Guo directly declared war, and sent troops in a dignified manner, not as surprising as Liang Guo, because Zhao Guo was confident that he could defeat Liang Guo.
Emperor Liang's face was gloomy and could drip water, his eyes looked a little grim, he glanced at the ministers standing below, and said: "Zhao Guo wants to use sword soldiers against me, what are your best strategies to defend against the enemy?" ”
Originally, the situation was very good, he Liangguo had already been discussed in the court, sent troops to occupy Xiangzhou, and went south all the way to attack Bashu in the west, and he was also recruiting soldiers and farmers, and wanted to gather 200,000 troops in Xiegu, Meridian Valley, astigmatism and other places, and when Xie Wu's army made contributions, the army went south and cooperated to capture Bashu.
And the worst plan is to occupy Xiangzhou and occupy the initiative, but who would have thought that they would be directly defeated, which not only disrupted their overall deployment, but also put Liangguo in danger.
Look, now the army of Chu is eyeing the side again, and Zhao is going to send a large army to attack, this time the situation is reversed, it is his turn to suffer the enemy in the belly of Liang State, fortunately, the Chu army has not moved, maybe it was dragged by Wei State, and the troops are insufficient, but when their reinforcements arrive, the result depends on how Chu State decides.
Liang Prime Minister Helian Guang arched his hand and said: "The only way to do this is to send orders to Wei Yan's envoys to ask the two countries to send troops to attack Zhao. Then he sent an envoy to the state of Chu to negotiate peace. ”
"The minister seconded the motion,"
"The minister seconded the motion,"
"The minister seconded the motion,"
……
The ministers said one after another.
Emperor Liang looked at Helian Guang and said, "The matter of sending envoys is the Prime Minister of Lao Helian." ”
"Obey."
"Retreat."
After Emperor Liang finished speaking, he strode away directly, these days are a little hot, and he needs to find a new beauty in the harem to vent his anger, otherwise he will be burned to death.
In the court of the Wei State, the majestic Emperor Wei said: "The Liang Kingdom is really useless!" It is ridiculous that an army of 300,000 should be defeated by a small hand. ”
"Defeat is defeat! As a result, I Wei State was put in a dilemma, and now Zhao State wants to use swords against Liang State, and you think that you should withdraw your troops to aid Liang, or should you continue to attack Chu. ”
As soon as Emperor Wei said this, the Wei court was divided into two factions, one was the withdrawal faction led by Wei Cheng Prime Minister Yanfen, who believed that the opportunity to attack Chu had been lost, and it was only a waste of soldiers, horses, money and food to continue, and it was still to be discussed whether to help Liang or not.
The other faction is the faction led by Taiwei Chengze to continue to attack Chu, believing that although the Chu army defeated the Liang army, it was still held back by the Liang State, and the time to attack Chu was still there, and it was a waste of soldiers, horses, money and food if the troops were not made.
The two sides were at loggerheads and arguing, and Emperor Wei had a headache.
