Chapter 284: The Battle of the Hanging Sands (I)
Zhongshan Wang Zi carried Yin Hou, Jiang Ji, the prince and others to the bank of the Hutuo River. Shi Lou remembered the kindness of the king of Zhongshan in the past, and deliberately let the king of Zhongshan go. The king of Zhongshan escaped death, embarrassed, and looked up to the sky and cried: "The widow died with a cup of soup, and the loyal and righteous people were won with a pot of cooked food." ”
Zhongshan Wang Zi ran all the way to Fuliu. Fuliu Shou will welcome the king of Zhongshan into the city with the highest and most solemn etiquette. Wang Zi of Zhongshan from Lingshou, fled to Fuliu, his liver and gallbladder were broken, and he lived trembling all day long. I can't sleep at night, my food is tasteless, and I'm worried that Zhao Guo will call me all day long. Empress Yin was also afraid of becoming a prisoner of Zhao, so she suggested to Wang Zi of Zhongshan: "Flee from Qi." ”
The minister who fled with Wang Zi of Zhongshan echoed the proposal.
After this fright, the king of Zhongshan no longer has the demeanor of a monarch, but fleeing from the Qi country still makes him taboo, "The widow is the king of the Zhongshan country, how can he flee to the Qi country." If the widow really went to the Qi country, he would never come back. ”
Yin Hou said: "Wang Shangxiu should be careful, we went to Qi to take refuge." ”
"Evacuate." Wang Zi of Zhongshan was stunned for a while, and said with a miserable smile: "A few years ago, the widow was the king of Zhongshan Kingdom, sitting on a territory of 800 miles, with Zhang Deng, Zhan Qian and others, and Wu Leju, Ji Xin and others. Zhongshan is full of talents, fierce generals, virtuous ministers like clouds. The widow reused Sima Xi, leading to chaos. The widow was treason because of a cup of sheep soup. There is a season in the south, and there is music in the north, which can be peaceful in the world. The widow didn't listen to his father's words and ended up like this. The widow is ashamed of his ancestors and his father. ”
The queen of yin took the head of Zhongshan Wang Zi, put it in her arms, and comforted: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more." ”
The king of Zhongshan snotted his nose and said: "The country died at the hands of the widow." I'm sorry for my ancestors! ”
Yin Hou said: "Your Majesty, we haven't lost yet, we can start all over again." As long as the king is still there, we can still regain the mountains and rivers and wash away the national shame with blood. ”
Zhongshan Wang Zi said disheartenedly: "The widow has already lost a mess, how can there be a day to start over." ”
"Your Majesty, we will take refuge in the Qi country and ask for assistance from the Qi country."
"How can the Qi country help the widows."
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what Yin Jian Gong and Tian Jian said?" Empress Yin reminded: "Goujian, the king of Yue, was sent by Wu Guofu and besieged Huiji Mountain. Goujian, the king of Yue, did not show the courage of the moment, fought a bloody battle with the Wu people, and died for the country. Goujian, the king of Yue, went to the state of Wu to serve the king of Wu. Goujian, the king of Yue, tried his courage for 20 years, not only restored the country, but also defeated the state of Wu, entered the Central Plains in the north, and dominated the princes. Your Majesty, you have not yet reached the point of exhaustion. We also have a chance to revitalize the country and defeat the state of Zhao. ”
Zhongshan Wang Zi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Even if the widow follows the example of King Goujian, how can the Qi people help the widow." ”
The corners of her lips smiled and said, "Your Majesty, have you really forgotten what Tian Jian and Yin Jian said." ”
Zhongshan Wang Zi said exhaustedly: "These days, the widows are living in fear. Tian Jian, Hao Yin and Jian Gong have long forgotten what the two secretaries said. Queen, the widow is not too useless. ”
A slender finger behind the yin pressed against the corner of Zhongshan Wang Zi's lips, "Zhao Guobing encircles Lingshou, and the mood of me and the king is the same." Now, we have escaped from Lingshou, which is enough to prove that God protects the king and protects Zhongshan Kingdom. Your Majesty, your life should not be extinguished, and there will be a day when you will be ashamed of your ambitions. The king forgot what Tian Jian and Yin Jian Gong said, can I remind the king? ”
"Queen, don't be polite. Say whatever you want! ”
"Your Majesty, if we dedicate the territory of Zhongshan to Qi, there will be a fight between Qi and Zhao. The state of Zhao was weak, so naturally he did not dare to start a war with the state of Qi. The king of Qi has gained hundreds of miles of territory in our country, and he can't govern it well. When the king of Qi saw that the king offered the soil to be a minister, he was very happy in his heart, and he would tear the earth and reward the king to continue the temple. With the help of the power of the Qi State, we are recuperating and secretly accumulating strength. On the other hand, provoke Qi and Zhao to fight and reap the benefits. Once, the war in the Central Plains will start, and the pattern will change. We are waiting for the opportunity to move, and the revival of Zhongshan is hopeful. ”
"That's a good plan." Zhongshan Wang Zi said with an embarrassed expression: "The widow sacrifices his land to the Qi State and is a minister, which insults the wisdom of the ancestors. If the widow does this, he will not be able to restore the country. A hundred years later, how to face the ancestors and ancestors underground. ”
"Wu Gong conquered the princes, and he was a hero. But in his later years, he was destroyed by the Wei State and the Zhongshan State perished. Ancestor Henggong, for the time being, endured the humiliation of the country and accumulated strength. Twenty years later, relying on the strength of the princes of Qi and Yan, he restored the country again. Your Majesty, have you forgotten the heroic deeds of Henggong? ”
Wang Zi of Zhongshan thought of the heroic deeds of the ancestor Henggong, and gradually came out of the shadow of the fiasco, and asked: "The widow fled to the Qi country, even if the country is restored, how to face the countrymen." ”
Yin Hou said: "When Duke Wen of Jin was young, he was exiled for decades and returned to the Jin Kingdom to succeed to the throne. Jin Wen openly created a hegemony, did the Chinese people say anything? The eldest husband can bend and stretch, how can he forget the ambition in his heart because of a temporary disadvantage. I believe that the king will be able to revive the Zhongshan Kingdom and dominate the princes. ”
Zhongshan Wang Zi saw that a woman was so bold, as a man, how could she be inferior to her. Zhongshan Wang Zi swept away the sadness in his heart, cheered up and said: "For the sake of Zhongshan Country, what is it for the widow to suffer a little humiliation. Tomorrow, the widow will leave for the country of Qi and ask the king of Qi for help. ”
……
Before leaving, Wang Zi of Zhongshan earnestly instructed the Fuliu guard, guarded the Fuliu for him, and made a heavy promise to treat everyone. General Fuliu swore an oath: "The city is in the people, and the city is destroyed and the people are dead." ”
Wang Zi of Zhongshan took the Queen of Yin, Jiang Ji, the crown prince, more than a dozen ministers and two hundred soldiers, as well as the eight words "the city is in the people, the city is destroyed and the people are dead", these eight words, embarked on the road of fleeing to the country of Qi. Zhongshan Wang Zi also didn't know when he would be able to come back after leaving this time. As soon as he walked out of Fuliu City, Zhongshan Wang Zizi ordered someone to stop the car, stared at his city for the last time, and stared at it for a long time before returning to the city, and said with tears: "Let's go." ”
Qi general Tian Ying is cruising the border between Qi and Zhongshan. Suddenly, I saw a large group of people coming from the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom. Tian Ying saw that there were four carriages and hundreds of soldiers coming with soldiers, and he didn't dare to be careless. Zhongshan people and horses are separated, and there are still three arrows on the border of Zhongshan. Qi Vice General Zhou Wang shouted: "Who is coming?" ”
Wang Zi of Zhongshan ordered someone to stop the carriage. One shouted, "The King of Zhongshan is also." ”
Zhou Wang laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. The King of Zhongshan is in the Zhongshan Palace, how could he come here. ”
The king of Zhongshan walked to the carriage and saluted: "The widow is the king of Zhongshan." ”
Although Tian Ying learned that the person in front of him was the King of Zhongshan, he did not treat him politely, but sneered: "King Zhongshan, you don't stay in Lingshou well, what are you doing here." Could it be that the beauty of Zhongshan Palace sings and dances, and it can't let the King of Zhongshan have fun. The king of Zhongshan came here to hunt but failed. ”
When the soldiers of Qi heard the words of the main general, they laughed loudly.
Zhongshan Wang Zi clenched his fist with one hand, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and replied calmly: "If it is not for the beauty of Zhongshan Palace to sing and dance, you can't let the widow have fun." The widows didn't come here to hunt. ”
Zhou Wang asked: "Could it be that the King of Zhongshan came here to enjoy the natural scenery of the border between Qi and Zhongshan." ”
"The two generals are not hiding from each other. I'm here to take refuge. Zhongshan Wang Zi said: "Zhao attacked our country and surrounded Lingshou. The widow came to ask for help from the Qi State. ”
When Tian Ying heard this, his face suddenly sank, "What, Zhao sent troops to attack Lingshou." ”
Zhongshan Wang Zi felt that his face was gloomy, and sighed: "The widow should have died fighting for the country. But when I think of the temple community, I can only endure humiliation and survive. The widow came here to ask for help from the Qi State. The state of Qi helped the widow to repel the state of Zhao. The widow is willing to give it away with territory. ”
Zhou Wang said contemptuously in his heart: "I'm afraid of death, and I say it so high-soundingly." King Zhongshan, you don't know shame. ”
Tian Ying saw that Zhao Guo sent troops to Lingshou, and said with a solemn expression: "Although I hate it, the fact that Zhao Guo attacked Zhongshan State. I also sympathize with what happened to King Zhongshan in my heart. However, I can't be the master of this matter. The king of Zhongshan might as well go to Linzi and ask my king for help. ”
Zhongshan Wang Zi hurriedly said: "The widow is going to Linzi with this intention, and I also ask the general to make it convenient." ”
More than ten years ago, the Qi State attacked Yan, gained and lost. Yan and Qi became mortal enemies. The state of Zhao will break through Zhongshan, and a powerful state of Zhao will appear to the west of the state of Qi. Today, the war between the states of Qi and Chu is stalemate. Once, Yan and Zhao joined forces to attack the Qi State. Qi has Yan in the north, Zhao in the west, and Chu in the south. The situation in Qi is critical.
Tian Ying saw that the situation was urgent, and he was not ridiculing Zhongshan Wangzi's escape, "Zhou Wang, I will leave the matter here to you." ”
Zhou Wang had never seen such an expression on the face of the main general, and he didn't dare to be sloppy, so he ordered: "Oh." ”
Tian Ying saluted and said, "King Zhongshan, I will personally send you to Linzi to meet my king." ”
Zhongshan Wang Zi replied: "This is very good. ”
Tian Bibi, the king of Qi in Linzi, had already received the document from Tian Ying, and hurriedly summoned the minister and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, the State of Zhao took advantage of the war between us and the State of Chu to send troops to attack the Zhongshan Kingdom. Now that Zhao has broken through Lingshou, Zhongshan is in danger. Zhongshan Wang Zi fled to our country and will soon arrive in Linzi under the escort of Tian Ying. Zhongshan Wangzi asked us for help, whether we save or not. ”
Tian He said: "Zhao State took advantage of our war against Chu State to send troops to Zhongshan. Zhao Jun really made a good move! ”
Tian Bibi snorted coldly and said: "Although Zhao Jun has made a good move, the widow can't let Zhao Jun break through Zhongshan as he wishes. ”
Tian He heard the voice of King Qi's words, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we can't rescue Zhongshan Kingdom. ”
"If the widow doesn't save Zhongshan, Zhao will die in Zhongshan." Tian Bibi said: "A few years ago, the widow was careless, and the Chu State broke through the Yue State in one fell swoop. Only then will the state of Chu become a giant on the great river and challenge the status of our country. In the past few years, the widows united with Han and Wei to conquer the Chu State, just to suppress the Chu people. Now that the arrogance of the Chu people has been suppressed by us, a powerful Zhao State has appeared on our side. The widow must not let Zhao Guo have full wings. If a widow makes a mistake once, he must not make a mistake a second time. ”
Tian He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, we are interfering in the internal affairs of the mountains. It is equivalent to starting a war with Zhao State. Now, we are fighting against the state of Chu. Yan Guo has been recuperating for so many years, and he is always ready to attack me in the south. We are at odds with Zhao, with Yan in the north, Chu in the south, and Zhao in the west. With the strength of one country, our country is facing the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Chu, and the situation is not favorable to us. Think, Your Majesty! ”
