Chapter 1179 Guanzhong is worried, and people are in chaos
The news of the destruction of Yecheng and the death of Shi Hu caused an uproar in the entire north, but when the exact news reached several other forces, it was even more shocking.
Although there is already a lesson from the Xiongnu, many people can still guess this solution in general, but in comparison, today's Zhao State is still much stronger than the original Xiongnu State, at least in terms of territory and population, it is several times that of the former.
As a result, it was only half a month, and everything came to an end.
After such a movement, the other forces compared themselves, they were all horrified to find that they were even worse than the Zhao country, that Zhao country still has a few states, the soldiers and horses that have been trained by fighting, and between them, the territory is small, and the soldiers have not yet undergone the test of the battle array, if the Xuanjia army is not happy to fight a family, and then attack in other directions, how can they resist?
Among them, the most frightened ones are the two kings in the pass.
Today's two kings, because of these years of operation, their bodies and bones are not as good as day by day, and they are not young anymore, and now they are even more old.
Not long ago, the soldiers and horses of Guanzhong also fought a battle with the king of Yingchuan in Hanzhong, which was considered to be a mutual victory and defeat, and finally the two sides compromised, but also because of the pressure of the Jiangzuo court, as well as the expansion of the Qiang and Di forces in Guanzhong, they had to introduce the soldiers and horses of the king of Yingchuan.
Now, this pass has not recovered from the previous turmoil, the vitality has not recovered, there are still many hidden dangers and constraints inside, if the offensive of the Xuanjia Army, then what the result is, it is really hard to say.
"Originally, I was thinking that I would take advantage of this time to integrate the forces in Guanzhong as soon as possible, and after stabilization, I would see if I could take advantage of his Shi Hu's unstable foothold and vain attempt to shave his hair and change his clothes, and recapture the land of Sizhou, but I didn't expect that we hadn't done it yet, Youzhou would destroy Shi Hu first, and now the Chen clan almost unified the north, how can this be good?"
The King of Chu lost the vigor he had a few years ago, his face was full of twilight and exhaustion, and he looked much older.
And the king of Huainan is also in general appearance, hearing this, he sighed: "Now that the Chen clan is already very difficult to control, even if we contact Jiangzuo and unite with Shudi, I am afraid it is not his opponent alone, for today's plan, it is better to stabilize him first!" ”
The king of Chu nodded, and then said: "The envoy group has been sent, this time it is still for him to be added to the knighthood, but I don't know what the other party has asked for this time, but if it goes on like this, it is really not a head, two steps forward today, and a city tomorrow, just like the six countries of Qin, it is a move to put out the fire with salary." ”
King Huainan sighed and said, "Then do you have a strategy to destroy Qin?" If not, you and I, the court that occupies Qin's land, can only serve it obediently, otherwise how can we get through the difficulties? ”
The two of them were talking, and suddenly someone outside came to report that the king of Yingchuan had come to visit and was coming in.
"Let people come."
Hearing this, the two kings glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
At present, in this level, they really have to rely on the king of Yingchuan, otherwise they will not be able to control the forces of the Hu soldiers who are gradually expanding their power.
But these changes were too sudden, not long ago, they had fought against the king of Yingchuan, and in the blink of an eye, they invited people under the name of their own clan.
And with the arrival of this young and powerful young clan in Guanzhong, the situation of this court has changed, and the originally loose hearts of the people have shown a slight sign of convergence, so that the authority of the two kings has shrunk rapidly.
But they couldn't do anything about it.
In fact, strictly speaking, they have to maintain such a stall in Guanzhong all these years, it is indeed hard work, since a rebellion before the imperial examination, the entire Guanzhong is really as Chen Zhi said, large and small rebellions are continuous, and it is very difficult to settle down, let alone develop.
The second king was very sad about this, but because of the desire for power and the desire to survive, he couldn't let go, and now he has lost some authority, but he doesn't know if it's good or bad.
Not to mention the complicated mood of the two kings, but said that after the king of Yingchuan walked in, he was not verbose, and said directly: "I came here today because I got the news, it is said that the Chen family of Youzhou has the intention to take the land in Guanzhong, can the two of you have a countermeasure?" ”
In the past few years, this young clan has been much calmer, looking particularly heroic and steady, this person is now very urban, and even spread the news of fake death before, luring the enemy to go deeper, defeating the Shu army, which has stabilized the territory of Hanzhong and gradually developed and grows.
But his words startled the two kings.
"Is the information reliable?"
The king of Chu here asked, and the king of Huainan over there was stunned.
"It's not reliable, it's just that many people think that this time the Xuanjia Army moves again, it will definitely not be satisfied with just destroying one country!" King Yingchuan looked serious, "At the beginning of the battle to destroy the Huns, although the Xuanjia Army shocked the world, but now looking back on the situation at that time, it can actually be seen that Youzhou at that time was not prepared, it was because of the death of the imperial brother that it was temporarily conquered, but this time it was different, Youzhou was fully prepared, and it was easy to destroy the Zhao State, and there was no decline, and there was no logistical pressure, so it is very possible to continue the expedition." ”
He didn't say a word, and the faces of the two kings became a little ugly.
But in the end, the king of Chu still emphasized: "But the emperor is sitting in Guanzhong, is he really going to make trouble in the Chen family?" ”
King Yingchuan sneered: "Recently, Jiang Zuo is preparing to hold an enthronement ceremony, they haven't changed their year names for a few years, what are they trying to do, don't you know?" Then, he changed his words, "And that Chen family claims to be my imperial brother's confidant and loyal minister, when he was angry and angry, he killed Liu Cong and others at the dragon sacrifice ceremony, you can see the purpose of this person, don't forget, that old eunuch has always said that we and the other three are also the culprits who killed the first emperor!" ”
As soon as he mentioned the "old gelding", the two kings immediately showed hatred.
King Huainan scolded bitterly: "That old guy is not dead, he slanders in front of the Chen family all day long, if he listened to me, he should have sent someone to slaughter that old thing, and there would be no troubles today!" ”
The king of Chu said angrily: "It's not that I haven't sent someone to go, but as soon as I entered Youzhou, I was discovered, and in the end, I didn't want to cut the land and pay compensation, this kind of thing is really a loss for my wife and soldiers, and I can't do it!" ”
"You two, let's discuss the countermeasure now!" King Yingchuan frowned.
The two kings nodded, and were about to say more, when suddenly someone came to report -
"Oh no, the three kings, that Pu Hong led the people to rebel, and now he has led the soldiers and horses towards Chang'an!"
"What?"
When the three kings heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
