Chapter 80: Questioning the Guilt

"Chu people?" The war boat slowly rowed across the canal north of the city and docked at the northwest corner of the city, and Tian Liang finally saw the Chu army soldiers on the deck.

"Chu people!" Tian Yang nodded, he had always had a premonition that the Chu people would come to Linzi, but he didn't expect to come so early.

"Chu people?" Outside the Gao Gate of the palace, the sky has been bright but the Gao Gate is still tight, the drums on the city make people panic, the enemy attack is the enemy attack, but before the report of the capital doctor Tian Yang, no one can be sure of the Chu people who came.

"Jing people! Goodness, great goodness. "The news of the Qin envoy Wang Ao is much better than the hundred officials in front of the Gao Gate, and before dawn he received a message from the city: the Chu people are coming.

*

"Does the king look up when he falls?" Inside the bed, the hustle and bustle outside was heavily isolated, and Taishi, who interpreted the dream, was asking Tian Jian's dream.

"Falling...... However, the widow is up. Tian Jian recalled the situation of his fall, as if he did fall on his back.

"What is the king of Chu," Taishi hurriedly asked again, "Is it prostrate?" ”

"King Chu ......" Tian Jian thought again, and under Taishi's expectant gaze, he nodded and said, "King Chu looks down on me." ”

"Ahh Taishi shouted and jumped up suddenly, which startled Tian Jian, and he didn't know whether this dream was fierce or auspicious.

"Daji! I'm blessed with God. The king of Chu bowed down, and he was guilty of it, and I was soft! "Taishi Dabai.

"Huh?" Tian Jian was also stunned, he obviously fell down, how could he become a good luck, and he could still be soft (tame).

"In the battle of Chengpu in the past, the Marquis of Jin dreamed of fighting with the king of Chu, and after falling to the ground, the king of Chu fell to eat his brain, which was afraid. The offender said, 'Ji. I have the sky, Chu is guilty of his crimes, and I am soft. As a result, the Chu army was defeated, although it was not soft, it was not far away. Taishi hurriedly gave the example of the Battle of Chengpu. Now the king fell into the air on his back, and the king of Chu leaned over to look at him, and I won the sky, and the Chu people also subdued their crimes. ”

"Ahh The battle of Chengpu was a matter of Jin and Chu's struggle for hegemony, but I didn't expect this dream to coincide with Jin Wengong. Tian Jian couldn't help but be a little surprised, but thinking that Jin Wengong and himself were both surnamed Ji, Fang felt that this should be the revelation of the ancestors.

"The concubines congratulate the king on his victory over the Chu people." Concubine Li paused. The military officials sent by Tian Yang were already outside the bed, and everyone knew that the Chu people were coming.

"Congratulations to the king on his victory over the Chu people." The rest of the people in the main bed followed Concubine Li to worship, and the sound shook the house.

The winged warboat rowed to the northeast corner of Linzi City and stopped, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes in the city stared at this warship, and many people were thinking about how the Chu people could attack the city with this warship alone. That's just a few dozen Chu army armor soldiers, as long as a small Rong Qi army can go out of the city to defeat it.

The Qi soldiers in the city watched, the Chu people on the war boat went their own way, and soon after the boat stopped, Sima Zhuang, the Yingshi who was holding the festival, got off the boat and landed on the shore, and fifty armor soldiers escorted him and accompanied him along the Xicheng moat to the south.

There was a hustle and bustle in Linzi City, and 50,000 soldiers were dragging their feet, but now they have been assembled in place. The most important day has already dawned, and what the Chu people outside the city do is under the sight of the Qi army. The heart that was hanging in the heart of the capital doctor Tian Yang had already been put back in his heart, and now he saw that the Chu people sent an envoy, and the envoy was holding a festival in his hand, he couldn't help laughing.

Thousands of miles across the sea, why didn't you know about attacking the city? Once the city is attacked, Linzi will inevitably be in chaos, and it is not impossible to pull out the city. It's better now, send a messenger, isn't this telling yourself that the Chu army is coming? Losing this suddenness, the Chu army of the labor expedition still has hope of victory? Absolutely nothing, neither war nor non-war.

"Dare to ask why the doctor is laughing?" The military marshal Tian Liang finally found an opportunity, and his face was full of sneers.

"I laugh at Chu people for being stupid." Tian Yang said with a smile. "They come across the sea, but they seek to fight with dignity, and they will be defeated."

"But you want to fight?" Tian Liang asked again, and he pretended to be puzzled.

"This envoy of the Chu people." Tian Yang pointed to Zhuang Wudi, who was holding the festival in his hand and going south along the moat. "When you send an envoy, you must meet me to fight, isn't this a dignified battle? If our army does not fight, the Chu people will run out of food in ten months and will retreat; ...... of War"

Tian Yang couldn't say any more, he still didn't know how many people the Chu army had come and where they were ambushed. He changed his tone and asked left and right, "Can there be scouts sent out of the city, where is the Chu army?" ”

"Doctor Yudu, scouts have not been sent yet, and I don't know where the Chu army is hiding." Left and right, just now everyone was still worried that the Chu army would attack the city, and it would be too late for the soldiers in the city to assemble, so how could they send scouts.

"Send out scouts immediately......" Tian Yang ordered. However, there was no need for him to send scouts to investigate, the Chu army had already arrived.

"Doctor, please see!" A company commander shouted, pointing to the water to the north. There, the sails were as dense as clouds, lined with sparkling water, and one after another the warships of the Chu army appeared in everyone's field of vision. Boat Master! The Chu army boat division that disappeared in Langya Port.

"Knock knock...... the north city wall once again beat the drum of warning, the rest of the walls echoed, the drums of the various armies and brigades in the city immediately echoed, after the three drums, the city wall quieted down, and the inner part of the city exclaimed again, no one knew what happened, but obviously something big happened.

"The minister Zhuang has no land, and on the order of the widow, he said to the king of Qi: "Outside the southwest king's city, Zhuang Wudi, who held the envoy's festival, stood at the city gate and shouted at the Qi people in the city. "I don't want to be friendly with the Qi State, so I returned the Muling Neiguan and married the alliance with Qi, but the Qi State was bribed by Qin, and Chu Qi was in front, and retreated behind without authorization, and killed the merchants of Chu State, so I didn't lead 30,000 Yingshi into Qi, and I hereby ask for the guilt. This battle does not harm Qi people, only wins after punishment, and looks forward to Qi ......"

The Chu people believed that it was the victory of the Qi phase that separated the Chu and Qi relations, so this time the troops did not harm the Qi people, but only the victory of the aftermath. In order to let the Qi people know the intention of the Chu army, before meeting the king of Qi, Zhuang Wudi read out the contents of the document vigorously. Before he could finish reading, someone shouted at the head of the city: "Please invite the envoy of Chu to enter the city." ”

"Please envoy Chu into the city." The soldiers of the city all shouted, the closed southwest gate slowly opened, and the halberd-wielding men in huge armor lined up in a neat queue to greet each other.

"I heard that the Qin envoy has been in Linzi, Sima needs to be cautious." Fei Jing looked at Zhuang Wudi and couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Chu Qi has already made a bad hand, why be careful?" Zhuang Wudi is not worried at all, Qi is a big country in the world, and the two armies will not fight each other, and he believes that his life is worry-free. As he had finished speaking, he strode forward towards the city gate, followed by the armor beside him.

The city gate is wide open, the Gao gate is wide open, the library door is wide open, the Mao door is wide open, the Ying door is wide open, and above the court, hundreds of courtiers are silent, just waiting for the Chu envoy to enter the court to see, Qi Wang Tian Jian also changed into a Wei Ben suit, in order to show that he will fight to the death with the Chu army.

The procession of halberd-bearers stretched from outside the city gate to the front gate, and the selected soldiers were the elite soldiers, who were not only tall but also strong, and their armor wore on them like an iron mountain. They all stared at Zhuang Wudi, Zhuang Wudi was unaware, and the armor soldier beside him stared back proudly, and the eyes of both sides seemed to be fighting each other, almost hitting out of the sparks.

One by one, the door passed, and when it came to the main court, the waiter who had already been waiting at the stairs shouted 'rise, rise, rise, ascend ......', and climbed the stairs step by step, and then entered the hall and entered the court. There was no longer the angry gaze of the halberd-wielding man here, only the courtiers of the Qi State standing in shifts and Tian Jian, the king of Qi dressed in Wei Ben's suit.

"Where did the Chu envoy come from?" Flicked his sleeves to stop Hou Sheng, who was about to speak, and Qi Wang Tianjian personally asked.

"Just because I ask for sin." Zhuang Wudi replied loudly, without stage fright.

"What is the crime?" Tian Jian said again, he didn't hear the words outside Zhuang Wudi City.

"After Qi Xiang, he won and was bribed by Qin. Dividing Chu Qi, retreating from marriage without permission, and harming Chu Shang are the reasons why the widow asks him for his crimes. Zhuang Wudi glared angrily at Qi Xianghou Sheng below the royal ranks, and as soon as he spoke, the courtiers were buzzing.

The courtiers thought that the Chu people were asking about the crime of the king's words, but what they didn't want to ask was the crime of Qi Xiang's victory. Hou Sheng has been in charge of the government for more than ten years, except for his guests, everyone else hates him, and everyone is a little gloating for a while. Hou Sheng's face changed greatly, sweating profusely, and the whole person seemed to be fished out of the water.

"Silence!" Tian Jian seemed to understand the thoughts of the ministers, and after he stopped drinking, he asked: "Since the king of Chu is asking for sin, why did he come to Qidu?" ”

"The big punishment is with armor, followed by the axe." Zhuang Wudi said again: "The minister heard that the king was bewitched by the victory after being unscrupulous, and the widow did not come to the capital of Qi, why should he ask for the crime?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhuang Wudi oppressed people with power in his words, and bluntly said that he was bewitched by unscrupulous, and Tian Jian was displeased. "Qi Xiang is the minister of my Qi country, why should the king of Chu ask for guilt!"

"The king was indeed bewitched by it." Zhuang Wudi let out a long sigh. "Why did the widow ask the guilty ministers to make it clear that if the king insists on protecting the unscrupulous, the widow can only ask the king to fight, and ask the king Feng Shi to watch it, and the ministers and the courtiers are fable."

"King, the Chu envoy is very rude, please cook it." The Daiyuki Tianji, who was in charge of diplomacy, couldn't help but be furious when he saw Zhuang Wudi writing a war letter on the spot.

"Great King, the Chu people are rude, please fight with them." The Great Sima Tianzong was also very displeased, and Chu made this a naked threat. Qi is a big country, even if Qi is a small country, it cannot accept such an insult.

"Great King, the Chu people are indeed rude. Qi Xiang is Qi Chen, why should the King of Chu ask for guilt? Light me and others? "The big ada frame is just as displeased, "If the king doesn't punish him, the Chu army will pull out the city, and the fruit will be barbaric." ”

"Qi is separated from Chu Qi, retreats from marriage without permission, and harms Chu Shang, why can't the widow ask for the crime?" Zhuang Wudi retorted. "The king can also win the crime after the death of the king, please fight with the Yingshi. The widow led only 30,000 Yingshi, and the 100,000 people with halberds in Linzi should not be feared. ”

"What do you mean? The Chu army is only 30,000? "Da Sima Tianzong reacted the fastest, he thought that the Chu army was at least 100,000, but he didn't expect that there were only 30,000.

"The widow said that the Xing Shi is not a matter of one person, not a matter of Chu and one country, and the Yingshi under the command of the widow is 30,000, so he sent 30,000 troops." Zhuang is not authentic. "Furthermore, although the halberd-wielding man of the Qi State wears huge armor and makes a huge blade, he is a native chicken and a dog, and he is vulnerable, and 30,000 Chu soldiers are enough."
