Chapter 757: The End of the Era (2)
"Little guy, do you think the widow is using tricks to earn your brother Wang?"
Coldly, Qi King Lu Xi looked at Zhao Hongrun and asked, perhaps he noticed Zhao Hongrun's mocking expression at that moment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Hongrun was stunned and said lightly: "His Majesty King Qi has misunderstood. β
Lu Xi, the king of Qi, shook his head and said, "Whether you misunderstand it or not, the widow must explain this matter clearly...... I have been building a country in Taishan for hundreds of years, how can the foundation of my ancestors be bad in the hands of widows? Speaking of this, he glanced at Ji Zhao and Zhao Hongrun, and said regretfully: "If the sons under the widow's knees have the same intelligence as your brother, the widow can rest assured, but it's a pity that the widow's sons are not successful, only the youngest son Bai Shang is a little smart......"
After that, he turned his head and looked at Ji Zhao again, and said: "Ji Zhao, although you are the prince of Wei, you married the widow's beloved daughter, and you are also the widow's half son...... If the son is not a white person, you will carefully teach you and the son of the concubine, the words of the widow, heaven and earth can be learned! β
Listening to the impassioned words of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, Ji Zhao was moved and speechless, even if it was Zhao Hongrun, he had to admit that he was the one who spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the king of Qi in front of him was really a bright and upright king.
That's it......
Zhao Hongrun glanced at his sixth brother Ji Zhao quietly.
Sure enough, as he expected, he saw Ji Zhao's face full of firm expression, and Zhengse said: "The king can rest assured, the son-in-law will definitely assist Gongzi Bai with all his heart, so that he can become a wise monarch like the king!" β
I'll just say it!
Zhao Hongrun shrugged his shoulders secretly.
But he didn't care about this, after all, he didn't have any ambition to swallow all countries and unify the world at present.
At this time, Tian Yan couldn't help but say: "King, otherwise, we will fight here this time and withdraw our troops, right?" β¦β¦ Maybe there is still a medicine to cure the king's disease? β
As he said this, he looked at the old doctor with expectant eyes, and asked as if he wanted to speak, "Mr. Changsang?" You say...... Isn't it? β
Facing Tian Yan's expectant gaze, the old physician Changsang shook his head with a wry smile.
"Mr. Changsang?" Tian Yan's expression was even more sad.
Seeing this, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, interrupted: "Tian Yan, don't embarrass Mr. Changsang anymore, if it weren't for Mr. Changsang's golden needle crossing stunt, the widow would have died a long time ago...... Mr. Changsang's ability to make the widow survive to this day shows his ability as a miracle doctor. Speaking of this, he laughed at himself: "It's the widow who made a mistake, and he was excited because of the imminent capture of Shouying......
After listening to the explanation of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, Zhao Hongrun knew that it turned out that Lu Xi, the king of Qi, could have lived for another month, but this guy saw that Shou Ying was about to conquer, and he was too excited and laughed loudly, so that he was angry and bloody.
It's okay now, even the gods can't save it.
It's stupid......
Zhao Hongrun shook his head secretly.
But then again, although he commented that the wise and martial King of Qi in front of him would actually commit a major negligence in such a trivial matter, for some reason, he didn't feel good in his heart.
"What are His Majesty King Qi's plans for this battle?" Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but ask.
may have heard the coldness in Zhao Hongrun's words, Ji Zhao said with some displeasure: "Hongrun, you ......"
However, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, waved his hand to stop Ji Zhao, then looked at Zhao Hongrun, and said apologetically: "Little guy, it is the widow who has lived up to your expectations...... In the face of the threat of Korea, Wei still sent troops to help the widows, and the widows were remembered. It is indeed providence that makes people, and the widow does not want this. β¦β¦ The widow also wants to go hand in hand with your Wei army to jointly destroy the Chu State, a huge threat to you and me in the south...... Yes, think about it day and night......"
β¦β¦
In this regard, Zhao Hongrun was silent.
Don't think that he is the only one who has the intention of destroying the Chu State, in fact, the King of Qi Lu Xi is also eager to destroy the Chu State in a war, for this reason, the Qi State has invested too much manpower and material resources in this battle.
After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun sighed and said: "Today's matter is bound to reach the ears of the Chu army, and if the coalition army wants to move south, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." β
Hearing this, Qi King Lu Xi said with a smile: "It's okay, if you don't plan it, you will do it." β¦β¦ Xiong Xu has fought with the widow all his life, and his competitive spirit is quite strong, if he learns that the widow is dead, he will definitely send troops to fight back, we deliberately retreated, and set up an ambush halfway to kill him by surprise! β
Speaking of this, he said to the lord of the Lu State, Ji Zhao and Tian Zhen: "The widow is not a man, but the plan to weaken the Chu State cannot be delayed." β¦β¦ No matter whether the widow is awake or fainting tomorrow, or if he is dying, you must not withdraw your troops! β¦β¦ Don't withdraw your troops even if you call Tian Tan! β
The people in the "......" tent were silent, of course they knew that if they withdrew their troops at this moment, there was a chance that they would be counterattacked by the Chu army.
But the question is, if you don't withdraw your troops, will you want to die outside the palace and in this wilderness?
Is...... It's stupid.
Zhao Hongrun stood aside and sighed, feeling more and more uncomfortable in his heart.
After that, Lu Xi, the king of Qi, explained some more things, and then at the end, he suddenly shook his spirit and held Ji Zhao's hands heavily.
"My son, my Daqi, and my concubine, the widow will entrust it to you......"
Everyone in the tent was shocked when they saw this, of course they knew that Lu Xi, the king of Qi, who was obviously extremely weak, suddenly shook his spirits at this moment, what did this mean.
β¦β¦
With a slight sigh, Zhao Hongrun walked out of the handsome tent and slowly walked towards the location of the guards.
Seeing Zhao Hongrun coming out of the tent, Wei Jiao and others surrounded him.
"Your Highness, how is the situation of King Qi?"
"Your Highness?"
Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard an exclamation from his sixth brother Ji Zhao in the handsome tent behind him: "King!" β
Suddenly, there was chaos outside the tent, and countless ministers of Qi were crying outside, ignoring the obstruction of the Flying Bear Guard, wanting to rush into the tent.
Wei Jiao and the others' faces changed slightly, and after glancing at each other, they probably guessed a few points.
"Let's go."
Zhao Hongrun shook his head, took the reins handed over by Zong Wei, turned over his horse, and drove his mount slowly towards the camp gate.
The group slowly left the Qi army camp.
When he came to the outside of the camp, Zhao Hongrun grabbed the reins of his horse, raised his head and glanced at the sky.
"It's over......"
He muttered.
Next to him, Zong Wei Weijiao heard this murmur and asked in a low voice, "Is it this battle?" β
Zhao Hongrun shook his head.
Yes, is it just this battle that is coming to an end?
At the same time, there is also the era of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, and the era when Qi dominates the Central Plains!
The era of Qi is over!
It is very strange that the death of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, made Zhao Hongrun inexplicably sad, but for some reason, there was an inexplicable excitement in his chest.
Perhaps it is because, at the moment when the era of Qi has come to an end and the Chu State has suffered a major setback, the world is about to usher in a new era!
Perhaps, that was the era of the Wei State!
β¦β¦
Taking a deep look at his palm, Zhao Hongrun slowly clenched his fists, and his eyes became firm again.
"Wei Jiao."
"Your Highness?" Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao faintly felt that his Royal Highness seemed to have become a little different.
"Back to camp!"
"Yes!"
On the same day, after Zhao Hongrun returned to the barracks, he rarely urged his troops to continue to storm Shouying.
At the same time, a message spread in the Qilu coalition army, to the effect that it explained why the king of Qi, LΓΌ Xi, fell off his horse, in short, blamed the fault on the horse and the groom who fed the horse.
Moreover, the commander of the Qi army also refuted the rumors that Lu Xi, the king of Qi, was in good health and safe and sound.
This remark finally raised the morale of the soldiers of the Qilu Coalition again, however, only those in the know like Zhao Hongrun knew that Lu Xi, the king of Qi, may have died.
The most direct impact was that Tian Tan of the Qi Army on the East Road began to slaughter the Chu army as if he was crazy, as if he was venting some kind of emotion.
On April 16, I don't know if it was the relationship between the mourning soldiers and the victory, and finally, the allied army finally conquered Shouying.
After that, the lord of the state of Lu, who was in charge of the military power, and Ji Zhao, the left minister of the state of Qi, ordered to continue to wave the army to the south in accordance with the will of the king of Qi, LΓΌ Xi.
During this period, Zhao Hongrun sent a force of soldiers and horses to coerce the two armies of Qi and Lu, and the rest of the Wei soldiers were busy collecting Shouying's wealth, after all, it was time for him to consider his position.
However, it is a pity that by the time the Wei army broke through Shouying, the big nobles in the city had already fled to the south with their clansmen and family wealth, and the remaining property was insignificant to the once rich Shouying.
Of course, even so, the Wei army has gained a lot.
However, the incident of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, fainting and falling off his horse on the battlefield, finally reached the ears of the Chu army, and it was not surprising that the Chu army really launched a counterattack.
On April 19, the coalition forces set up an ambush and inflicted heavy losses on several counterattacking Chu troops, so they took advantage of the victory to pursue, conquering more than a dozen cities of Chu one after another, and almost reached the Yangtze River Valley.
The ease of these battles made Zhao Hongrun a little unbelievable.
He had some suspicions that Chu Jun deliberately released the water, otherwise, how could he win so smoothly?
But think about it carefully, in the face of such a national disaster, what reason does the Chu army have to release water?
In any case, this coalition finally achieved the goal of severely inflicting a heavy blow on the Chu State.
However, at this time, something happened in the country of Qi: Gongzi Zhu, the eldest son of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, did not know where to learn the news of his father's death, and contacted those nobles who supported him, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
After that, the other sons of the king of Qi, LΓΌ Xi, also made a posture of separating one side and seeking the throne.
The news of the death of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, was inevitably learned by the Chu State after all.
However, unexpectedly, the state of Chu did not immediately counterattack the state of Qi, and it is thought that the state of Chu also suffered heavy losses in this battle.
On April 25, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu, sent an envoy Huang Arsenic to Shouying to sue for peace.
Yes, seeking peace, even Zhao Hongrun did not expect that after learning of the death of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, the State of Chu still chose to make peace with the State of Qi.
In the end, Qi, Lu, Wei, Chu, and Yue, these five forces reached a tacit agreement: Chu ceded land and paid reparations and admitted defeat.
After that, Zhao Hongrun's sixth brother Ji Zhao was worried about the changes in the Qi State, and took the body of Lu Xi, the king of Qi, and led the army back to China overnight.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun also ordered the withdrawal of his troops, but in retreating, he swept away the local wealth and those Chu people who were willing to defect to his Wei state.
Although this battle only affected a small part of Chu Dong, it caused the Chu State to suffer losses of hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers, and the rest of the property was countless.
And the most important thing is that Shouying, the royal capital of the Chu State, was conquered by the coalition forces, and the once rich capital became a ruin.
Everyone knows that in fact, this battle has not yet been fought, but at the moment, whether it is Qi or Chu, there is no strength left to continue fighting.
But it is foreseeable that once the state of Chu stabilizes and recovers, then the two countries of Qi and Lu will inevitably be retaliated against by the state of Chu.
Of course, including the Wei State. (To be continued.) )
