Chapter 45: The Son of Heaven's Revenge
Hualong found Yan Shu, told him what he talked about with King Zhou, and told him not to say it to the outside world, for fear of bad impact.
Yan Shu said: "This is all the money you borrowed from King Zhou privately, who dares to say anything." But I still listen to General Hua, with your current status, it's not good for others to know. ”
Hua Long said: "Doctor Yan, if you find management talents in this area in the future, recommend them to me." ”
Yan Shu said: "Okay, I'll pay attention to it in the future." ”
After Hua Long left, Yan Shu was still thinking: This General Hua, the marching and fighting, the state management are all in order, and he is also good at engaging in these entertainments, I really can't figure out what kind of person he is. However, it can be seen that he doesn't care about power, and when he sees that no one has a shelf, it is rare to get a small amount of money and borrow it from King Zhou. With his ability, there is no problem with Xiang Yu and Xiang Yu to be kings, it seems that this Zhou Dynasty is indeed about to rise.
Hualong is happy now, and thinks: This is equivalent to opening a large entertainment company by himself, and there will be a lot of beauties in the future.
The state of Chu suffered the loss of Xiang Yu last time, in order not to have friction with the state of Qin, now it has negotiated with the state of Qin, and the state of Chu attacks Yong and Ba; The Qin State attacked the Shu State, so that the two countries got about the same territory.
After Xiang Yu received this news, he discussed with Hua Long, and Hua Long said: "Now we can only watch them develop, and we have no way to negotiate peace with Chu State, and we can't fight them anymore." ”
Xiang Yu said: "I know this, I want you to think of another way to provoke contradictions between countries." ”
Hua Long said: "Hey, I've been busy with other things all this time, but now it's almost done." I'm thinking about it, to see if I can eat a small country, or weaken a big country. ”
Xiang Yu said: "Second brother, then you think slowly, my military camp will be expanded in 2 months." With that, he left.
Hualong also has a headache now, and every time he goes to war, he has to find a reason. I thought: The main reason is that the current geographical location of the Zhou Dynasty is not good, it is in the middle, and it is surrounded by other countries. If you are at the extreme, you can push forward in one direction, and you are not afraid of being besieged by other countries, so you don't have so many scruples.
Not only the Zhou Dynasty, but also the original Zheng State and the current Wei, Song, and Lu Kingdoms, that is, because of their geographical location in the middle, have not been able to grow.
A few days later, Hua Long went to find King Zhou, and King Zhou asked, "Hua Aiqing, is this time to borrow money or borrow someone?" ”
Hua Long said: "King Zhou, I didn't borrow anything this time, I came to help you get angry?" ”
King Zhou asked, "What are you angry about helping the widow?" ”
Hua Long said: "King Zhou, you have just succeeded to the throne for the first two years, did King Wei find a reason to oust you from power, do you want to find King Wei to take such a breath now." ”
King Zhou said excitedly: "Thinking of this, the widow feels disgraced, this tone, how are you going to help the widow?" ”
Hua Long said: "You will directly send an envoy to threaten King Wei and make some unreasonable demands, but if he does not agree, we will go and beat him." ”
King Zhou said: "This is good, but the country has 350,000 troops, are you sure to win?" ”
Hua Long said: "I'm not sure, will we take the initiative to provoke this matter?" You just have to do it, and it's best to do the patriotic chicken and dog jump. ”
King Zhou said, "Good! I didn't expect that there would be a day of revenge, and I really have to thank Hua Aiqing! The widow must be unable to stand the king of Wei, and it is better to become a lost dog. ”
Hua Long said: "King Zhou, then I'll go back and wait for your good news." ”
After going back, Hualong told Xiang Yu about it, and Xiang Yu said with admiration: "Second brother, eldest brother really admires you, this reason is too sufficient, and you can't figure it out." ”
Hua Long said: "Big brother, you don't know, day and night, thinking and thinking are all about the brain is rising. ”
Xiang Yu said: "Also, I can't think of this reason for the rest of my life, my side is stepping up to complete the matter, it is estimated that it will not be long before the battle will start." ”
Hua Long said: "Yes, we are fighting with great fanfare this time, and when the time comes, we will make this reason sufficient, so that other countries cannot interfere." ”
Xiang Yu said: "This is called: the Son of Heaven takes revenge, ten years is not too late." ”
Hua Long said: "Big brother, this sentence is well said, just ten years. ”
King Zhou sent an envoy to Wei Guo this time, and the conditions proposed to King Wei were: 1. Cut the land; 2. Indemnity; 3. King Wei personally went to apologize to Zhou Tianzi.
This can stump King Wei, and King Wei replied to the envoy of the Zhou Dynasty and said: "Zhou envoy, you go back to reply to King Zhou first, and King Rong Ben will consider it and reply to King Zhou within a month." ”
After the envoy replied to Queen Zhou, King Zhou asked someone to inform Hualong of the situation. Xiang Yu asked Hua Long: "Second brother, what do you think King Wei will do?" ”
Hua Long said: "Big brother, this condition, King Wei should not agree, it is estimated that he will fight with us." ”
Xiang Yu said: "Then we will wait for a month and see the results." ”
King Wei didn't expect that King Zhou would turn over this old matter, and he also knew that Xiang Yu wanted to find an excuse to beat himself, so he convened the ministers to discuss several times, but no good result was discussed.
After seeing more than ten days, King Wei was very anxious, so he invited the ministers to discuss again, at this time, King Wei's younger brother, Gongzi Zhou, spoke, and said: "King Wei, this matter is clearly that Xiang Yu wants to find an excuse to beat us, so it is better for us to take the initiative to attack." ”
King Wei said: "We only have 350,000 troops in the country, and Xiang Yu killed 100,000 opponents in half a day last time when 40,000 people beat King Yue 200,000. Xiang Yu has a total of 200,000 troops, how can we fight. ”
Zhou Hu said: "That's the king of Yue is beyond his strength, the last time the king of Yue 200,000 people, not by Lu and Song killed 100,000. ”
King Wei was still worried, and said: "Xiang Yu destroyed Zheng State with 80,000 people, and last time he killed 100,000 horses and horses of Chu State, and forced Chu State to sue for peace, he definitely has the ability." ”
A general named Shi Hou supported Zhou Hu and said: "King Wei, Xiang Yu has only recently developed, and many countries have suffered because they don't pay attention to him. ”
Zhou Hu also said: "King Wei, we can unite Song and Lu to send troops to attack Xiang Yu this time, they have always been worried that Xiang Yu will invade them, and they will definitely unite with us." ”
King Wei considered that there was no other good way, so he said, "According to your opinion, the widow will send envoys to Song and Lu." But what do we say about the reason for attacking Xiang Yu this time, we can't say that King Zhou and us have settled old accounts, and we have to fight back. ”
Zhou Hu said: "We will start a war in the name of helping Zhou Tianzi eliminate the rebellious ministers, and it is estimated that other countries will support it." ”
King Wei said, "Good! We are helping Zhou Tianzi to clear out the rebellious ministers. ”
When the time of a month came, King Zhou received a reply from the envoy of the country, saying: "In the past two years, there have been rebellious ministers and thieves around Zhou Tianzi, disturbing the court. And under the banner of Zhou Tianzi, he fought everywhere, bringing disaster to the country and the people, and disturbing the people of the surrounding countries. For the sake of the peace and tranquility of the world, the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Lu sent 400,000 troops to clear the rebellious ministers for Zhou Tianzi and recruit Xiang Yu. ”
King Zhou hurriedly sent someone to inform Hualong of them.
Xiang Yu summoned everyone over to discuss and said: "Now the three kingdoms of Wei, Song, and Lu have sent 400,000 troops to attack us, including 200,000 troops from Wei Guo, 100,000 troops from Song State, and 100,000 troops from Lu State. ”
Guan Biao said: "We transferred 100,000 from Yiling to defend together." ”
Ji Yan said: "Of the three kingdoms, the Song State is the weakest, in the middle of the other two countries, and it is close to Yiling. We might as well ask General Shen to directly lead the troops to attack the Song State, the Song State will not have more than 150,000 troops left in the country now, and if it is attacked, the 100,000 who participated in the coalition will definitely come back to help, so that the three countries will only have two countries, and the strength will only be 300,000. ”
