Chapter 758: The Alliance Begins
On this night, Luoyi was brightly lit, and even Lu Zuopo, who had lived in Ji Zhou Wangji for three generations, knew that the Qin State would hold an alliance ceremony in Luoyi tomorrow.
However, most people still think that the place where the Qin State held the alliance was in the city of Luoyi, and the worst was also the outskirts of Luoyi.
However, to the disappointment of everyone, early the next morning, there was news that the car of the princes of the Qin State drove out of Luoyi and headed in the direction of the Wu family.
Immediately, the princes and sons who came to the alliance also rushed to the Wu clan one after another, and everyone knew that the place where the Qin State really planned the alliance was the south bank of Luoshui in the area of the Wu clan, and the Qin State named its place [Guanwu].
As the name suggests, this is the place where the Qin State parades and the place where the Central Plains princes show off their strength.
Among the rumors, it is said that this time the Qin State gathered hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Chenggao, and it was the Qin State that responded to the Qi Alliance's attack on Qin.
This shows how much Qin attaches importance to this Luoshui Alliance!
When the princes and sons who participated in the Luoshui Alliance came to Guanwu, their expressions were really surprised.
Especially many ministers of South Korea, because the Gur clan had also stationed soldiers and horses in South Korea, they knew what it was like to watch the military before.
But now I saw that the road to Guanwu was enough for eight horse-drawn carriages to drive side by side, and the Guanwu was surrounded by buildings several feet high.
In the distance, you can also see the Qin army's houses, neatly and orderly stationed in the barracks, its banners are lined up, covering the sky and the sun, and the sound of soldiers training can also break through the sky.
"Not long ago, I heard that the Qin people are good at building Guansai cities, and they really don't deceive me!"
The princes of Yan and Zhao first arrived at the center of Guanwu, that is, the high platform of the Luoshui Alliance of the Qin State, and walked up step by step, until the top of the high platform saw this Guanwu under the rule of the Qin State, I don't know how much better than Luoyi, which was dull and thin!
Subsequently, the envoys of Lao Qin, Lu, Yue, Chu, Han, Ba, Shu, and Tho all arrived one after another, and when they saw their appearance, they were all very surprised that this dilapidated Guanwu in the Luoyi people's household registration was actually such a majestic and powerful appearance in front of them.
It seems that standing here, it is suddenly clear why the Qin State was able to crack the two successive ruins of the Qi Alliance's attack on Qin and the Wei State's crusade!
In the dark corner where no one deliberately paid attention, a group of people also gathered.
Guanwu held a ceremony today, and the Luoyi households, who were good at business, also came to sell some of the farmer's own products on their shoulders, or the big businessmen who came and went, and most of the walkers and dealers gathered here.
These people did not endanger the holding of the Luoshui Alliance, so the soldiers of the Qin State who were stationed here and were responsible for the safety of the League were not expelled, but gave some people an opportunity.
In this dark corner, dozens of figures gathered, among them in different costumes, and their words were very different from each other, and they could only communicate in vague and intelligible dialects.
Watching and listening carefully, you know the true identity of this group of people, that is, the Wei people, the Qi people, and the Wu people.
"Zhou Tianzi has arrived!"
I don't know who shouted, which immediately caused everyone to look sideways.
Since the Wei State took over Luoyi from the Qin State, it coerced the Tianzi of Ji Zhou to surrender himself to the title of [King] by force, and cut off the royal family of Ji Zhou to make the glory of the co-lord of the Central Plains princes.
Forced by the strength of the Wei State, Zhou Tianzi could only agree, and then the Qin State regained Luoyi, and the Ji Zhou royal family was not as forcibly persecuted as the Wei State, so Ji Zhou Tianzi was renamed [Son of Heaven].
It's just that now the title of the Son of Heaven has become a big laughing stock, but Ji Zhou Tianzi is pretending not to know.
Most of the people in this alliance are the princes and sons of the Central Plains countries, and if they follow the old rites of Ji Zhou, they must be kneeling three times and bowing nine times to Zhou Tianzi.
But now, after these princes of the world saw King Zhou slowly coming to power, most of them still didn't mean to get up, but just arched their hands to Zhou Tianzi, which was regarded as a greeting.
But there are exceptions, it seems that the people of the Chinese atom regarded as the people of the Yue Kingdom and the prince of Ba, Ba, are still quite respectful to the King of Zhou, and these two princes and grandsons are also the only few people who have met Zhou Tianzi in Luoyi in the past few days.
This Qin State has not really done any ranking sequence in the Guanwu Alliance.
Located under the middle position of Qin State as the leader of the alliance, with the right as the respect, it is Zhao State, followed by Yan State, but whether it is the crown prince of Zhao State He or the prince father of Yan State, they do not get up and give up their position to Zhou Tianzi.
Zhou Tianzi was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and seeing that these princes of the alliance were so snobbish, his eyes were already wide with anger, and his body was trembling with anger in his wide sleeved robe.
Seeing this, it was Sun Wujiang, the prince of Yueguo, who gave up his position and found a trace of face for Zhou Tianzi: "Please also ask Zhou Tian...... King Zhou moved to the left to take the lead. ”
"Hmph......" A few zhang away, the grandson of the Yue Kingdom seemed to hear Zhou Tianzi's inaudible angry and cold snort.
On this occasion, Wujiang also pretended not to hear, and if so, he continued to withdraw the seat of Yue Guo, and gave way to Ji Zhou Tianzi and Ji Zhou Situ Zhao Lei and Shangqing Cai Ze behind him.
"Boom! Knock knock! Knock knock knock...... Knock knock! Knock Knock...... Knock ......"
Suddenly, the drums beat around, which was shocking.
Everyone looked at it, and Fang Cai saw the protagonist of this alliance, that is, many princes of Qin led by Yan Gongzi of Qin State climbed the high platform of the alliance from the north stone steps.
Compared with the previous indifference to the arrival of Ji Zhou Tianzi, the Hebei princes led by Yan Zhao were much more enthusiastic, and they all stood up and made a big salute to meet Lin Yan.
The latter also changed his salute, that is, he stretched out his hand left and right to signal many princes and grandsons to sit down temporarily.
When Ji Zhou Tianzi saw this scene, he was even more angry, but in this situation, Ji Zhou Tianzi also knew that he couldn't be presumptuous!
After the princes and princes of the countries were seated, the princes of the Qin State led by Lin Yan sat down.
Lin Yan also raised the wine lord and said: "Today, the Luoshui alliance of the Qin State is just to have a good time with the princes of other countries, as for the old set of red tape, there is no need to pay attention to it!" ”
"Qin Gongzi is bold!" He Yeruo, the crown prince of Zhao Kingdom, glanced at Ji Zhou Tianzi, and replied to Lin Yan with a slight hint of ridicule: "It's better like this!" ”
"People's hearts are not ancient......" Situ Zhao Lei behind Ji Zhou Tianzi also sighed secretly in his heart, even the alliance does not use the old rites, so the last few systems of the Ji Zhou Dynasty in the world have also been cut by half!
After Lin Yan and the sons and grandsons of the princes of the countries drank a jue of wine, everyone praised the soft and mellow aroma of Qin's wine, which seemed to linger between the teeth and made people have an endless aftertaste for a long time, and they all said, "It's really good wine!" ”。
"It's a disappointment to have wine and no dancing music!" Lin Yan also said the same.
Han Taicang immediately replied: "It's better to let the musician play the chimes and invite the dancing girl to cheer up, how about it?" ”
"This is the good of Korea's nobility, not the joy of my Great Qin and the princes and the nations!" Lin Yan also immediately refused.
Looking at the appearance of Prince Han Cang, there was not much disappointment, but his stupid face was silent after raising the wine lord again.
Lin Yan glanced at the sons and grandsons of the princes of the countries, and then said: "It is better to enjoy the sound of drums in the army, if it can be supplemented by the strong and majestic posture of the soldiers and horses of the countries, it must be a once-in-a-lifetime event!" ”
Everyone knew in their hearts that they dared to say so much to this Qin Gongzi Yingyan, just to find a proper reason to show off their strength!
Of course, these princes and grandsons will not break it rashly when they see through Qin Gongzi Yingyan's intentions, and immediately echo them one by one.
Seeing this, Lin Yan also said with a smile: "Although this is the main alliance of the Qin State, but the princes and countries have all brought soldiers and horses to the alliance this time, it is better to show it together with this Luoshui, how about it?" ”
Prince Zhao on the side also smiled and said: "This is the best, I have a love general, who is not more than twenty years old, but he is well versed in the art of war and has always liked it!" ”
Prince Yan's father also responded with interest: "Isn't it Zhao Kuo, the eldest son of Zhao's famous general Ma Fujun?" ”
"It's Ma Fuzi!" Prince Zhao He nodded, taking advantage of this opportunity to use the power of the Qin State to publicize the strength of the Zhao State, and immediately said with a smile: "In this case, I, the Zhao State, will send Ma Fuzi to lead three thousand cavalry soldiers to pretend to be strong for the Luoshui Alliance!" ”
If so, under the instruction of Yaqing Leyi, the prince of Yan Kingdom, also spoke: "Okay, my Yan Kingdom is also sending three thousand Jicheng righteous Cong Zhuangluo Water Alliance!" ”
Yue Gongsun Wujiang also said: "Yue Guo sent two thousand boat divisions to practice water soldiers on Luoshui. ”
That Chu Shangzhu Shi Zixi also nodded and said: "Xiang Yan, Tang Yu, the two of you will each lead more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to go here." ”
"South Korea is also willing to send 5,000 troops to help the fun!" Prince Han Cang said.
When the prince Wu of the Lu Kingdom and the Zhengqing Ji Wen saw this scene, they also glanced at Ji Wu in the rear, and then replied: "The Lu Kingdom also sent 3,000 troops. ”
Subsequently, the rest of the three kingdoms of Ba Shu Tho were all born with reinforcements and sent more than 1,000 troops.
It wasn't until the end that Lin Yan Fang turned his gaze to the old Qin Daliang who had been quietly watching: "Lao Qin's help to the Great Qin this time is the mainstay of the Great Qin's retreat to defeat Wei, and now that the soldiers and horses are still in the territory of the Qin State, I am making a good claim, let the two generals Sima Cuo and Xuan Ran lead thousands of troops respectively, showing the prestige of the old Qin army!" ”
"Listen to it!" Gongsun Yan also nodded and agreed to come down to Lin Yan.
If Lin Yan also waved his hand, he went down to prepare, and the princes and grandsons of the princes of the countries saw this scene and sent their respective leaders and generals to cooperate with the Qin State to deal with this matter.
Just when everything was down to talking and laughing, an extremely discordant voice sounded.
"The envoys of the State of Qi, the State of Wei, and the State of Wu, meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, and come to respond to this Luoshui Alliance!"
