Chapter 94 Lobbying and Persuasion

The ministers retreated, Lin Feng looked serious, let out a long breath, lay on the soft couch, and sighed secretly, this year is really eventful, the four countries of the grassland are fighting, and before the Yan country has made any moves, the Jin country will attack Yan

country, if Zheng Guo sends troops to attack Yan and attacks the north and south, this year, the entire north will really be in chaos.

I couldn't help but feel nervous, and secretly rejoiced, it seems that I was really lucky to train new recruits a year ago!

It was night, Lin Xiao and Li Mengchang had not yet left, and the military report about Zheng Guo's troops to attack Yan had been placed in front of Lin Feng, and he had to admire that Situ and Wen Jishi were thoughtful and thoughtful, and they were like gods.

had the foresight to expect Zheng Guo to send troops, and Zheng Guo really sent troops.

The two major countries sent troops from the north and south, Lin Feng naturally did not dare to be sloppy, before Zhao Song Shu sent troops, the troops from Zheng and Jin had to resolve by themselves. Busy dispatching troops, leaving only 40,000 heavy armored infantry and 5,000 blade soldiers under Zhao Hongru to defend the Beijing Division,

Lei Jieying's more than 30,000 dragoon guards, Hou Mingfeng's 20,000 heavy armored cavalry, all poured out, and went to Gyeongju under the starry night, and the 60,000 soldiers under Bai Yisheng jointly defended Zheng Guo's soldiers.

In the early morning, the mist was filled, and the air on all sides of the Gyeongju camp exuded a trace of blood, Tuoba Yu hurriedly walked into the camp angrily, threw off the blood-stained armor, made it on the chair, drank the herbal tea left over by the unknown person, and said to Bai Yisheng: "Lao Bai, this is not the way, the territory of Gyeongju is open, which is conducive to the cavalry attack, Zheng Guo's 100,000 iron cavalry army, since last night, the fierce attack on Gyeongju City, we have elbows everywhere, and I don't know when the emperor will send troops to support." ”

Last night, the Iron Cavalry suddenly attacked the city, Bai Yisheng ordered Zhao Jun to defend the city, Tuoba Yu rushed out of the east gate at night, led 20,000 cavalry, detoured to the rear of the Iron Cavalry, and took a surprise blow, causing a lot of casualties to the Iron Cavalry.

However, the Iron Cavalry is several times larger than Tuoba Yu, no, the first battle on the grassland, without a trace, to the shadowless cavalry blinded, although the opponent's forward more than 5,000 were killed, but they lost 3,000 people.

On the north gate, Zhao Jun commanded 40,000 people, fighting in the starry night, the continuous iron cavalry, but to the flood, died a wave, another wave, under the north gate, there were already corpses and bones, blood flowed like a river, and still could not stop the iron cavalry infantry from attacking the city.

Bai Yisheng put down the saber in his hand, and said with a heavy face: "It is the strength that fights in the war, what consumes money and food, and the soldiers who die, in these three aspects, Yan Guo is not as good as Zheng Guo, since you have come back,

So that I can stick to Gyeongju! I guess the emperor must be aware of the gap between the two countries, so reinforcements must be on their way. ”

The Iron Cavalry Army is attacking fiercely, if it weren't for Lin Feng's cautious heart and ordering 60,000 cavalry to be stationed in Gyeongju in advance, in this battle, I am afraid that the Iron Cavalry Army has broken through Gyeongju and driven straight in.

When the Marquis of Dingguo Lin Xiao arrived in Zhao State, he did not dare to rest in the post house, changed his clothes, and immediately sent someone to send a generous gift to the famous ministers of Zhao State, and personally visited them one by one, promising benefits, clarifying the current situation, only to arouse the interest of the prime minister, and personally introduced Lin Xiao into Huayang Palace, the most majestic and domineering palace in the north.

When entering the court, Lin Xiao saw that the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State talked very happily, the north was victorious, the land expanded to the north for hundreds of miles, and the situation of Yan State was embattled, and the situation of Zhao State did not know how much better.

Lin Xiao knew in his heart that under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to persuade King Zhao to send troops.

After the prime minister's introduction, he did not dare to slack off, respectfully bowed to Zhao Wuji, the emperor of Zhao State, and directly stated his intentions, Zhao Wuji heard this, looked at the ministers, and said in a light tone: "The matter of union is not trivial, my big Zhao is fighting fiercely with the Xiongnu in the north, and the battle situation in the south is probably not able to draw out troops." Rao is what you say, Zheng Guo is ambitious, take Yan Ke to threaten Zhao State on both sides in the northeast, what, Zhao State started in the north, swept **, swallowed the eight wildernesses, in the world today, only Chu Man can compete with it, Zheng Yan's battle is the fruit of the weak and the strong, how dare he Li dare to offend my strong Zhao.

Moreover, Zhao Zhengxin had a good relationship a few years ago, and if Zhao Ruo conspired with Yan, wouldn't he be treacherous, cause himself to suffer from the swordsmen, and be resentful on behalf of Yan? Let's forget about cooperation! ”

Before entering the DPRK, Lin Xiao had been informed of the relationship between Zhao and Zheng, and Zhao Wuji's move was expected. He was indomitable and calmly answered, Chen said that there were benefits, but Zhao Wuji was finally arrogant and wavered in his disregard of Zheng Guo.

Lin Xiao was angry, and he didn't answer, he stepped up the steps according to the sword, strode towards Zhao Wuji, and shouted: "The matter of cooperation, as long as the interests and disadvantages are clearly stated, it can be solved in a few words, since the emperor has no one in his eyes, let Zheng Guo rise, don't say much, say goodbye!" ”

Zhao Wuji saw that Lin Xiao dared to press his sword and go straight to the court, and he didn't say anything, he didn't feel angry, and shouted loudly: "Bold fanatic, I will talk to you about it, and I can't be humiliated by you, don't you think I dare to kill you?" ”

Lin Xiao was not afraid, pressed his sword forward, and said: "In the eyes of the emperor, Lin Xiao is just an ant and a mustard, so what's the point of killing it, when Xiahou was the king of the world with a land of seventy miles, and Uncle Zhou only relied on a hundred miles of land, but

Make the princes of the world submit, and which one does not start from the end of the micro, and the king of the world, today the emperor regards me as a mustard, he day, Zheng Guo is new and strong, Zhao Guo's century-old foundation is ruined, and the children of Zhao Guo are just grass mustard in the eyes of Zheng Guo, this is, the disaster of the king.

"Your Majesty, what Lin Xiao said is true, Zheng Guo surrendered to Zhao a few years ago, mostly to cover up the ambition of the wolf, today, once Zheng Jin jointly conquers Yan State, Zhao State is bound to be surrounded by Zheng Jin, if it is with the Xiongnu again

United, Zhao Guo is afraid that he will be in danger. Taiwei Xiao He said. This person has a great say in the court of Yan State, and has won the trust of Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji's face was slightly gentle, and Taiwei Yuwenlong also said loudly: "The geographical location of Yan Country is unique, if you don't take it, you won't hinder Zhao, and if you take it from abroad, it will endanger Zhao State, and the emperor will think twice!" ”

The two important ministers suggested that Rao is Zhao Wuji was deaf, and they also realized the seriousness of the problem, and asked Lin Xiao: "Sir, what do you have to say?" ”

Lin Xiao said: "In the past, there were dozens of feudal states such as Linyi, Wujun, Yanghai, Xiazhou and so on in the south of Zhao State, but in just 20 years, many were lost and Zheng Guo's hands, today, Zheng State annexed the four states, east of Song State, south of Shu State, west of Chen State, north of Zhao State, land thousands of miles, with armor approaching a million.

Soon after Tuqiang, he attacked the Song Dynasty in the east, occupied Shu in the south, and now went north to destroy Yan, which shows that if it were not for the strength of Zhao State, I am afraid that it will inevitably be a Chinese meal for Zheng Guo. Such a wolf is ambitious and ambitious, how can the emperor not guard against it.

Now, Zhao has the capital of the overlord, and the princes of the world dare not compete with it, but a big country, if Zheng Guo is allowed to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the east and the west, within a few years, the two countries will have a war.

Zhao Sheng, barely able to temporarily protect the foundation of the first king, Zhao defeated, the foundation of the ten generations was ruined, the king of Zhao could not help but humiliate the ancestors, today's trend, the king is in a corner, not to eliminate the hidden dangers in the bud, how right

Can you afford the spirits of your ancestors in heaven? The matter of the alliance between Yan and Zhao is beneficial to Zhao Shi and not harmful.

Thinking that Zheng Guo has the heart of a tiger and wolf for a long time, and the intention of annexing the world has long been revealed, Yan is dead, and Zhao will not last long. Back then, Chen Shuyan and Zheng united and resisted each other, causing Zhao to dare to go east and south for fifteen years.

Although Yan was attacked by Zheng State, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers attacked day and night, but failed to damage Qingzhou, and Song Su befriended Zhao, and sent rescuers, if Yan and Zhao were successfully united, unite with Song, and Shu destroyed Zheng Jingrui under the city of Qingzhou.

The four families took the opportunity to expand eastward and westward, north and south, Zhao expanded his territory and revitalized his prestige, and Yan could survive and take away the disaster of destroying the country.

Don't you know the truth that where you lie on the couch, you can't allow others to snore? With that, Lin Xiao pressed his sword with both hands and looked at Zhao Wuji angrily.

Zhao Wuji thought for a while, his eyes turned to Xiao He and Yu Wenlong, the two nodded silently, and immediately said yes again and again, and said: "What Mr. said, my heart suddenly brightened, just follow Mr." ”

Lin Xiao asked, "Your Majesty, have you made up your mind?" ”

Zhao Wuji said: "Fixed! Settled! ”

Even Zhao Chenggong, Lin Xiao shouted left and right: "Take the blood of chickens, dogs and horses, and make blood an alliance!" ”

Take the copper plate left and right, come with the blood of chickens, dogs and horses, Lin Xiao held the copper plate with both hands, knelt down to offer Zhao Wuji and said: "The king should donate blood as an alliance, and the covenant of formal union, the emperor will drink first, and Lin Xiao will drink again." ”

Zhao Wuji took the wine glass, drank it full, and beckoned the ministers with his right hand and said: "Today, Zhao Yanzhu is allied with the blood of the court, and the southern camp will immediately start preparing and go south to attack Zheng." ”

Lin Xiao was happy in his heart, and said loudly: "The emperor is wise and martial, Lin Xiao wishes the emperor a successful attack on Zheng in advance." ”

It is said that Li Mengchang came to the Song Kingdom to worship the Empress of the Song Kingdom, and said: "The Song Kingdom has more than 8,000 miles, an army of 700,000 people, 10,000 war horses, and enough grain to last for ten years

Ba's capital.

Now Zheng Guo Lianjin attacked Yan, once successful, the two countries did not dare to attack Zhao in the west, and they were bound to go east and south to attack the Song Dynasty, and the Song State would fall into the quagmire of war, and the peace won by decades of hard work would be ruined.

Besides, Zheng Jin and Song are feuding countries, if you submit to Zheng, the people will not obey, and the courtiers will not obey. “

Then he analyzed the situation in the world and said: "Zheng Guo's biggest worry comes from Zhao Song, if he doesn't attack Zhao, he will come to take Song, so Zheng is strong and Song is weak, and Zheng and Song are weak, and Zheng and Song cannot coexist."

Song Yan united successfully, the east and the north can destroy the Jin, the west and the south can attack Zheng, and now Zhao Shu agrees to send troops to attack Zheng, and the Song State is willing to miss the opportunity. “

In the end, Li Mengchang reminded the empress again: "Zheng is a country of tigers and wolves, has the ambition to annex the world, and is the public enemy of the princes of the world." If you can't combat Zheng Guo's arrogance, I'm afraid the only way to negotiate peace is to cut the land, I hope you can

Think about it. “

The empress did not expect that Yan Guo would have such a person who could speak well, so she discussed with the left and right, and quickly made up her mind and said: "Zheng and Song are bordered, and Zheng has the intention of annexation, which cannot be said to be peaceful." Yan and Shu are often threatened by Zheng Guo, and they should not plot with them in depth, for fear that there will be rebellious people who will tell them and endanger national security.

I expected that Song would fight Zheng, and he might not be able to win. plotting with the ministers is not credible, so they toss and turn, unable to sleep peacefully. Now that there are three families united to fight Zheng, why don't I do it. “
