Chapter 98: Ten miles back
"Report to ---, Emperor, the enemy outside the city has retreated." Just when the monarchs and ministers of the scattered country were arguing, a crisp sound of reporting shattered everyone's noise.
Yes?
The enemy retreated.
The monarchs of the scattered kingdom looked at me, I looked at you, and they were all stunned at the moment, and no one wanted to believe that this thing was true.
"The enemy retreated? Really retreated, how could this be? Loose plate asked, puzzled.
"The enemy did begin to retreat south." Tanma reaffirmed.
"Retreat, hahaha, hahaha, it seems that God is still favoring the scattered country! Ladies and gentlemen, go up to the city with the widow to witness this important moment. The Scattered Monarch said happily.
The ministers came to the city wall with the loose plates, and saw that the army of the Dangshe outside the city was slowly retreating to the south.
"Hahaha, hahaha, sure enough, they really retreated." Sanpanzi pointed to the Swing Society's army, which was beginning to retreat to the south, and said to the ministers beside him.
"Your Majesty, please see, there seems to be an army coming from the north." Just as Sanpanzi was happy that the enemy had taken the initiative to retreat, General Sanjo pointed to the north and said to him.
Following the direction pointed by General Sancheng, Sanpanzi saw dust billowing out, and although he couldn't hear the sound, everyone knew that it was the enemy's brigade coming.
"Hurry up--- hurry up--, strengthen your defenses, and be careful of the enemy attacking the city." Just when Sanpanzi and the others were still stunned, General Sancheng immediately ordered the soldiers defending the city to strengthen their defense.
If you don't know who is coming, it's better to prepare early.
"Yes, yes, strengthen precautions, pay attention to protection." Loose plate said again and again. After this invasion of Rong Di, he suddenly realized the power of these nomads from the north, and he was completely afraid, "These barbarians from the north are so powerful, they really don't want to die when they fight!" ”
Just when the monarchs and ministers of Sanguo were at a loss, the army from the northwest soon came to the city of Sanguo, and under the command of the leader, they formed a semi-encirclement of Sancheng.
"Listen to the princes and ministers of the scattered kingdoms in the city, we are the army of the Qin people, and we are chasing the deserters of the Dangshe, come to you, you must not be afraid. Now my lord Sima wants to speak to your general who guards the city. After shouting, the horses under the city retreated.
Then a young man rode forward to the city.
Oh---
Under the city turned out to be the team of the Qin people.
Only then did everyone look down carefully, only to see that the troops who came over were covered in black clothing, and even the war horses were mostly black.
Black is the color of the Qin people, which all the countries of the Central Plains know, of course, these Qin people respect black, and I don't know how many times they have been ridiculed.
Now this black army has finally come to his city.
After hearing this, General Sancheng looked back at the loose plate and asked for his opinion with his eyes.
Sanpanzi glanced at Zhou Huan beside him, and Zhou Huan nodded.
So General Sancheng took a few steps forward to the city wall, and shouted below: "I am General Sancheng Shi Camel, may I ask Lord Sima of Qin Jun what is the matter with me?" ”
Hearing the echo from the city, Sima Yingkang of the Qin army said loudly: "General Shi, I am Sima Yingkang of the Qin army, leading the army to pursue Rong Di's army here. General Fulao reported to your family, and asked the scattered country to give him relief, and the Qin people will return it later. ”
Oh---
The general of Sancheng, Shi Camel, finally understood, it turned out that the Qin army wanted to rest under the city for a few days, and also wanted to borrow some food from Sanguo.
After hearing this, General Sancheng did not dare to make his own decisions, so he replied: "Lord Sima, please wait a moment, how about I give you an answer after I report to my family?" ”
"Okay---, then Yingkang will wait for General Shi's good news." With that, Ying Kang took a few steps back.
Of course, General Sancheng did not dare to slack off, although Yingkang did not say it explicitly, but his heart was as clear as a mirror, it was precisely because of the arrival of the Qin people that the army of the Dangshe besieging Sancheng had to retreat.
In other words, the Qin people saved Sancheng, since they saved Sancheng, even if they don't say it, Sanguo should also give people a little help.
General Sancheng turned around and came to the monarch, "Your Majesty, the Qin army pursued the remnants of Rong Di and came to the territory of our Sanguo, asking for a rest in place, and hoping that Sanguo could provide food and grass for Tanma, and asked the monarch to agree." ”
This one?
In the face of Qin Jun's request, Sanpan hesitated. Of course, he also knew that it was precisely because of the pursuit of the Qin army that the Dangshe army under the city withdrew from Sancheng. But because of this, the Qin army had to be stationed in Sancheng to rest and recuperate, and this requirement was still a little difficult.
After all, from ancient times to the present, there is a saying that it is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God.
What if the Qin army was stationed under the city because of this and didn't leave?
"If the monarch doesn't agree to Qin Jun's request, they will have to leave. Once the Qin army withdrew, the Dangshe army that had fled to the Qin Mountains would come out. At that time, it will be difficult to invite the Qin people over again. Seeing this, General Sancheng reminded.
That's it!
Rong Di's army has not gone far yet, and the Qin people cannot be allowed to go away at the moment, and the scattered country really needs their help.
"Okay---, then you will let the Qin army retreat ten miles back and station, as long as they agree, we will send ten more carts of grain and grass to the Qin army." Loose plate said after thinking about it.
"This? It's not good, after all, it was precisely because of the Qin people's troops that Dangshe Rong withdrew from my capital! It is said that we should treat Qin as a guest. General Sanjo said.
"What do you think?" Since General Sancheng said so, Sanpanzi handed over the matter to the ministers for discussion.
"The minister thinks that the king's method is very appropriate, and we must not treat the Qin people well." As soon as the words of the scattered plate fell, Xiangguo Zhou Huan followed.
Hey---, Zhou Huan, who has always been singing against the monarch, actually stood on the same path with the monarch this time.
After hearing this, Sanpanzi happily asked Zhou Huan: "Xiangguo, tell me why we can't treat the Qin people well?" ”
"There are two reasons, one is that although it was because of the Qin people's troops that we helped us drive out the siege of Dangsherong this time, this does not mean that the Qin people are willing to sincerely help us disperse the country; Driving away the was just an unintentional move by them. So we can't be grateful for their presence because of that. ”
"Hmm---。 There is some truth in what Sangkook said. ”
"The second is that the minister heard that the Qin people have been very close to the state of Yu in the east recently, and the Duke of Yu has invited the Qin people into the city many times. Ladies and gentlemen, the Kingdom of Yu to the east of us has always been a potential enemy of our Scattered Kingdom! The two sides have clashed many times over the border issue, what if the Qin people take the opportunity to collude with the state of Yu and plot to disperse the country? Haven't I become a wolf into the house? ”
"Based on the above two points, the minister suggests that it is better to keep a certain distance from the Qin people, so as not to cause fire and cause trouble!"
After listening to Zhou Huan's words, Sanpanzi nodded, "It seems that this time we monarchs and ministers have thought of it together." Then Sanpanzi said to General Sancheng: "You tell the Qin army outside the city and let them retreat ten miles." Then invite the generals of the Qin army into the city, and the widow will set up a banquet to entertain you, after all, when the guests come to our door, do you still have to talk about the basic etiquette! ”
Although Sanpanzi was afraid of the enemy attacking the city, he was still able to keep a basic mind in the face of the major events of the country's life and death.
Now that the monarch has already said it, General Sancheng had no choice but to pass on the monarch's words to Yingkang and others.
Unexpectedly, the Qin army quickly agreed, and immediately retreated ten miles and stationed outside the scattered city.
