Chapter 80: Survival of the Kingdom 2

"King Chu?" Handan Xiangbang Mansion, Zhao Liang, who got the report from Jieshi Port, restlessly walked back and forth in the Ming Hall.

"Your Excellency, it is indeed the king of Chu." Five days was not enough time to send people from Handan to Jieshi Port, and Ge De, who personally carried out the matter, could only ask the local officials of Zhao State to investigate on his behalf. He was dressed in a tie robe, his hair hung down, he was adorned with white jade, he rode an eight-foot dragon horse, and there were temple people on his side. Sui Zhou Chu will be respectful to him, call it, call it...... for king. ”

"For the king?" Zhao Liang was puzzled, there was only one who shouted the king, how could anyone shout as the king.

"Your Majesty, the people of Chu have long stopped speaking Yayan, only Chu language. Nanban's tongue, He Yin, the king of Chu language, Guan officials don't understand. Gott explained. Not to mention the customs officials of Jieshi Port, even he doesn't understand Chu very well. "The Chu people call him Wang Ye. Judging from his age, behavior, and accessories, he must be the king of Chu. But there were very few people with him, but no more than thirty or forty horsemen. ”

Zhao Liang looked at Ge De, who was talking in detail, and was stunned for about half an hour, and then he laughed weirdly: "Haha! King of Qin, King of Chu. King of Chu, King of Qin. Hahahaha......"

"Tell Jieshi and Lingzhi that they can't be stopped from getting out of the plug, but should help them get out of the plug!" Zhao Liang's laughter suddenly came out, and then suddenly retracted, and then gave an order very clearly. "Those who prevent it from getting out of the plug will be killed."

"Why do you ...... the king?" Ge Shi was puzzled by Zhao Liang's order. Yingdu clearly said that he wanted me to prevent them from getting out of the jam,"

"Herald!" Zhao Liang's lips tightened, he didn't want any explanation, and he didn't want any advice.

"Your Majesty, the existence of Zhao State is all in Chu State...... Ge De is still admonishing, trying to persuade Zhao Liang to give up an idea.

"Herald!!" Zhao Liang interrupted him with a loud shout, his face became hideous, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Jun ......" Ge De still wanted to persuade, but Zhao Liang pointed his hand straight out of the hall and asked him to retreat quickly.

"Someone." Ge De has not retreated yet, and Zhao Liang is already summoning others. "Summoning Jian Xinjun."

Whether it is in Yingdu or in Yandi, autumn always seems to be sluggish, the sound of cicadas gradually becomes weaker, the leaves of the tree are golden, only the locust flowers falling from the locust tree are like a light snow after spring, little by little paved on the official road, pedestrians and horses, the stamens are pressed layer after layer, and the whole road looks white from afar.

And when you get out of the mountains and forests on the outer layer of Lingzhisai, the autumn on the grassland is even worse. The bright autumn sun sowed on the grassland, and from a distance it seemed that the whole grassland was golden, just like the golden millet rice in the fields in September and October. But unlike millet rice, the grassland is boundless, and you can't see the villages, trees, or cities.

"In terms of itinerary, it is necessary to have a hundred miles a day," Fu Jing has no intention of enjoying the scenery on the grassland, he only cares about the itinerary.

"It will take twenty days for a hundred miles." The guide at the head was a Hu man who knew Zhao language, named Yue Ran, who had been to Qin before.

"Twenty?" Xiang Chao looked at this Hu man and was surprised. "We have been on the road for six days, and if we want to go to Xianyang for twenty days, we will ...... Xianyang"

When hiring a guide, everyone did not say that they were going to Xianyang in Qin, but that they were going to Quyan, so as soon as Xiang Chao mentioned Xianyang, Fei Jing pulled him. It's just that Yue Ran had already heard the word Xianyang, and he asked in a transposed Zhao voice: "You want to go to Xianyang?" ”

"I'll only wait until Quyan." Fei Jing looked directly at Yue Ran and tried her best to correct Xiang Chao's mistakes.

"Good. You will only go to Quyan. An imperceptible chuckle appeared at the corner of Yue Ran's mouth. Even if the people of Zhao did not instruct, he knew that the destination of these Chu people was Xianyang in Qin, not Quyan in the north of Qin.

"How can you get to it quickly? Twenty days is too long. "It took six days to go north to Zhao State, and it took another six days to land from Jieshi Port and then get out of the jam. It takes twenty days to get to Quyan, and then from Quyan to Fangqu - there are two roads into Qin, one is Yanshi Sai, the other is Fangqu, Fangqu takes a shorter time, and under the urgency of time, you can only choose Fangqu - it is estimated that it will take five days; After entering Qin, it will take another five days. The whole trip will take at least 42 days, and if you count some accidents, it is estimated that it will take 47 or even 50 days.

"If you want to have a short time, you can only go into the plug." Yue Ran replied. "If you enter the official road of Zhao Guo, you can travel 500 miles less, and you can consume less beans and wheat."

"Don't get into the stuff." Fei Jing objected. He always felt that he was moving fast enough that he was not intercepted by Zhao Ren.

"If you don't get into the jam, you will have to do it for twenty days." Yue Ran looked back at the entire team. Most of the men rode eight-foot-tall horses, each with six small horses, five of which were carrying cooked beans and wheat, and the other carrying armor.

"What?" Fei Jing noticed Yue Ran's movement and remained vigilant. Because it was inconvenient to transport horses on the three-legged golden crow, there were only more than 30 knights who boarded the boat that night. Ryoma has attracted much attention everywhere, and there are Hu people in Jieshi Port who come up to ask if the horse is for sale. Fortunately, these horses are all castrated, otherwise Fei Jing believes that Donghu, Lin Hu, and Lou Fu will be desperate to grab the horse breed.

"Horses." Yue Ran made no secret of it. "There is no such thing as a god horse in the grassland."

"If you want to take the horse, ask about this sword first." Xiang Chaoyue became more and more uncomfortable when he listened, and the saber was unsheathed, and then quickly sheathed. His movements made Yue Ran shake her head again and again, and muttered a nonsense in her mouth.

"The King of Chu has come out of the fortress?" In Fanwu Wu'anbo Mansion, Li Mu, who was on guard day and night for the Qin army to go out of the well, suddenly got a terrible news on this day: not only the cavalry generals went north by sea boat, but the king of Chu also went north by sea boat.

Handan said. There was a hint of a smile on the corner of the fox baby's mouth, and he didn't know if he was laughing at King Chu or Handan.

"Why did the King of Chu want to get out of the fortress?" Li Mu asked rhetorically, but he didn't ask the fox baby.

"It is reported that Jianxinjun has made Qin." Once again, the fox baby has terrible news. "Xiangbang wants to ......"

"He dares!" Li Mu's hand slammed on several cases. "This matter is leaked, and Zhao Guo is dead!"

"If this matter is not leaked, the king of Chu will die at the hands of the Qin people, and the state of Zhao will survive." The fox baby's eyes blinked, ignoring Li Mu, who was already furious, and said so. "It is rumored that the king of Chu loves the daughter of the surname Jiji, and sure enough."

"How can you survive like this? No faith and no righteousness, like the ears of a beast! Li Mu looked at each other angrily. And the king of Chu is dedicated to helping Zhao,"

"The king of Chu helps Zhao, only for the state of Chu." The fox baby understands Li Mu's temper, his tricks are only used against enemies, and the Chu people have always been friends.

"The state of Chu is my ally!" Li Mu almost roared. "The king of Chu came out of the fortress, I told it to the Qin people, causing the king of Chu to die at the hands of the Qin people, this, this, this ......" describes what is about to happen, Li Mu seems to see the Chu cavalry led by the king of Chu fall into the ambush of the Qin people, and everyone finally dies in battle, and they are speechless for a while.

"Qin and Chu are evil, and Zhao Guocun is also." The fox baby also sighed, but no matter how much he sighed, it was not as important as survival. The Warring States period was not an era of who was stronger than whom, but an era when someone was better at lobbying the princes and who was more intriguing than whom.

"It's better to die a heroic death than to live a life!" Li Mu straightened his clothes, stood up and was about to leave the account.

"Where is the general?" The fox baby hurriedly pulled him back. "If the general talks about this matter to the Chu State, the Chu people will not help me in the future; If the general wants to lead his troops out of the fortress to rescue the king of Chu, what will the Qin people do if they go out to attack me? And the flight is very fast, Handan must have equipment for this plan. ”

"Equipment?" Li Mu turned his head to look at him when he heard this.

"From today onwards, Fanwu Feixun can only be received but not sent, and it can only be sent to Handan." The fox baby told him bluntly, this is his original intention to tell Li Mu about the matter: even if he doesn't say it, Li Mu will find out. At the same time, an order was issued to allow the Zhao army to enter Qin.

"The general should know that the state of Chu is getting stronger. If Zhao didn't hope that Qin and Chu would fight, what if Qin died? The Qin State died and the Chu State destroyed the kingdoms in one day, what is the difference? The fox baby asked Li Mu dumbly. Today's friends, tomorrow's enemies, there are very, very many such things between the three Jins.

"But that's the Chu State!" Li Mu shook his head suddenly, he remembered that Chu and Zhao had never been evil, and Chu had saved Zhao several times.

"What about the State of Chu?" The fox baby asked rhetorically. "Today, the world will be one in one country, if it is not Qin, it is Chu. The plan of the state is untrustworthy and unrighteous, but the plan of the state can be saved in my Zhao country. If Qin Chu is defeated, Zhao Guo can also be a one. ”

"Zhao Guokeyi?" Li Mu suddenly wanted to laugh, wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh. As soon as he broke free from the pull of the fox baby, he rode on his horse and hurried to Handan, he had to see Zhao Liang immediately.

"Xiangbang, the general begged for ......" In the still dim Mingtang of Xiangbang Mansion, Zhao Liang sat alone at the table, motionless like a mountain.

"Nope." Zhao Liang was not surprised when he heard that Li Mu was asking to see him, he knew that he would come.

"Yui." Zhao Liang didn't see each other, and the officials could only go out to tell each other. But it was useless for him to tell him, because Li Mu had already rushed up.

"Why? How so? Before Li Mu entered the hall, he had already shouted loudly, and when Zhao Liang saw Li Mu entering the hall, he not only waved away the soldiers who wanted to step forward to stop him, but also let everyone withdraw from the hall.

"The majestic Zhao Kingdom, the dignified state, can only do such a reluctant thing?!" Li Mu rushed straight to Zhao Liang, eye-to-eye force.

"There is only success and failure in everything, and there is no distinction between reluctance and nobility." Zhao Liang met his gaze and did not flinch.

"It's true, but people are despicable and noble, although I, Zhao, am not a gentleman at all, but I don't have such a beast villain." Li Mu said again. "Let's ask Xiangbang, this plan will definitely make my Zhao State survive the country? This plan The king of Chu will die in Qindihu? If not......"

"When the king of Chu enters Qin, he will definitely die!" Zhao Liang finally avoided Li Mu's gaze and answered categorically. "If the king of Chu dies, the Chu army will inevitably attack Qin. Qin Chu fought again, and I, Zhao Guofang, were able to rest. Ziyou has a noble heart, and he can tell this plan to Yingdu, just say that my Zhao State has no faith and no righteousness, and has told the Qin people the news of the king of Chu's exit, how about it? ”

"Beast!" Li Mu cursed, but his voice was not loud. He didn't dare to do what Zhao Liang said, because once he did this, with the temperament of the Chu people who had revenge, they would definitely sit back and watch the Qin State destroy Zhao, and the Zhao State without assistance would undoubtedly perish.

"Beast!" Li Mu, who turned to leave, scolded again, this sentence was no longer scolding Zhao Liang, but scolding himself.
