Chapter 267: On Your Own [13/25]
After the court, the weekend was relaxed. "Finally got these old guys done, and it boosted morale." This attack on Qi and Zhao is for the heirs of their own monarchs.
On the weekend, I went all the way to Fan Ji's palace. Such a good excuse has to be told to Fan Ji, so as to save her from blaming herself for the heir.
"King, why are you so happy?"
Zhou Zhou took her hand and put it in his palm, with a solemn face: "Fan Ji, there is something I have been hiding from you, and now that the time is ripe, I can tell you." ”
"What's the matter, my lord." Fan Ji asked curiously.
"Actually, it's not because of you and the harem concubines that I have never had an heir. Instead, I made a deal with God. Heaven bestowed upon me divine power and demanded that I dominate the Central Plains.
Therefore, I will not have any heirs until I dominate the Central Plains. Actually, he wasn't lying. Isn't the system the equivalent of a heavenly existence?
"I see." Fan Ji nodded.
"I've been hiding from you before, will you resent me?"
"How could it be, my lord. If the king didn't tell me, it was just that the time was not ripe, and he didn't mean to hide it from his concubines. Now, the concubine is really relieved. ”
Hold her hand on the weekend. "Don't worry. When I come back from the battle, I will definitely give you an heir. ”
It's going to be separated again. He believed that he would soon be able to stay with Fan Ji for a long time, without complicated government affairs, and there was no need for him to go to war. He and she can be like ordinary wives in the world.
Fan Ji sweetly leaned over the weekend's shoulder. "The concubines and the king will return safely."
Weekend hugged Fan Ji tightly. Separation was imminent, and he cherished the time he had now. If he could, he really hoped that Fan Ji could become Thumbelina, so that he could take her with him at any time, so as not to suffer from lovesickness.
At night, I hugged Fan Ji to sleep on the weekend. While she was asleep, she looked through the system mall over the weekend and finally found a soft armor. Although this soft armor can't be as effective as body armor, it can also play a protective role, and ordinary swords can't hurt him.
"Every now and then, the system restarts and updates there, and it's unreliable. The battle against Qi Zhao can only rely on myself. ”
Turning over on the weekend, Fan Ji breathes evenly, her eyelashes are long, Qiong's nose is straight, and the silver-white moonlight comes in and reflects on her face, her skin is like glass, which makes people want to pinch it.
Fan Ji, who is asleep, has more thrilling beauty than ever.
He looked at her, a small smile on his lips. For Fan Ji, he will also come back safely. Fortunately, even if there is no system. He also already had experience in siege cities, and the siege equipment of the Chu State was improved by him, and the power was incomparable, and the soldiers were also equipped with steel knives.
At the same time, the number of soldiers of Chu was several times that of Zhao.
"When the war starts, I just sit in the tent and command." The sword and arrow have no eyes, and it is better to be cautious without the protection of the system energy shield, and not to go on a rampage like before.
"For Fan Ji, I also have to come back safely."
He reached out and hugged her gently.
Fan Ji moved, like a lazy kitten. He muttered a little.
The weekend hooked the corners of her mouth and scratched her nose.
He had long decided to attack Qi and Zhao. But raising an army is a matter that affects the whole body. Cheng Jia prepared for a month before everything was scheduled.
Flags were unfurled outside the city of Yingdu, and tens of thousands of heroes stood neatly on the empty plains outside the city, and people could feel the slaughter at a glance.
The people of Chu knew that the army of Chu was going to set off today, so they kept some distance to watch, and some even brought their children. When the children saw this battle, some of the timid ones were directly frightened and cried.
"Don't cry, it's like seeing how majestic our army is."
"Which country are you going to fight?"
"Zhao or Qi is here, I forgot."
"What, our king is going to settle these two countries."
"If it were our king, it would indeed be possible."
The weekend drive slowly drove out of the city gates.
"Long live the King." Thirty thousand people shouted in unison, and the sound even drowned out the sound of drums.
The momentum of the Chu army was so great that Zhao and Qi saw it from a distance, and they were so frightened that they almost fell to the ground, and their fingers trembled uncontrollably. Can such an army withstand its own homeland?
The meticulous workers returned to their homeland with a disgraced face.
Zhao Wanggong, King Zhao's face was bruised, I don't know whether he was angry or shocked. "The State of Chu is really coming to attack my State of Zhao?"
"It's true. The people of Chu knew about it. ”
"Hmph, did the King of Chu think that if he destroyed a Jin country, the rest of the countries were in his pocket? If we don't believe it yet, we will not be able to resist the attack of Chu if we are prepared in advance. ”
After receiving the news that Chu was going to send troops, King Zhao ordered to strengthen the city, strengthen the defense line, and be ready to fight at any time. "Is there any news from King Qi?"
Knowing that the state of Chu was going to send troops to attack Qi Zhao, the king of Zhao immediately sent an envoy to meet the king of Qi.
Although he was rejected by the King of Qi, he still did not give up and sent several envoys in a row.
But the envoys he sent were always in various situations. Either he killed someone in Qi and was expelled back to Zhao by Qi, or the envoys sent out disappeared for no reason.
Qi and Zhao were close to each other, and King Zhao guessed that these things that happened to the envoys must have been caused by the state of Chu. In order to allow the envoys to meet the King of Qi smoothly, he asked the envoys to dress up in disguise, and only revealed their identities when they arrived in the Qi Kingdom, which allowed the envoys to meet the King of Qi. Who knew that the king of Qi was an elm pimple, and he was determined not to ally with the Zhao State.
"King Qi has rejected our alliance's request."
King Zhao scolded angrily: "Idiot! "The state of Chu is menacing, and it should be the time to join forces against a strong enemy.
Li Yinfu was one of the ministers favored by the king of Zhao, and two months earlier, under the coercion and lure of the Nian pole, he had taken refuge in the state of Chu.
These days, he has made many ideas in front of King Zhao and wants to take King Zhao into the pit, but King Zhao is shrewd and capable, and very assertive. The proper deployment of the army can be described as impeccable. The people at the year pole wanted to make it easier for King Zhuang to attack, so that Li Yinfu could weaken the power of Zhao no matter what.
The person in charge of the year pole asked him to slander in front of King Zhao and find a way to provoke the relationship between Zhao and Qi.
"King, should we send a group of people to pretend to be the Chu army to attack the Qi State? Let King Qi realize the seriousness of the situation. ”
"No, you can't. What we need to do now is to be unanimous. If the Qi people saw the clues and knew that it was our people pretending to be people from the Chu State, it would only be self-defeating. The Qi State does not want to form an alliance, forget it. I, Zhao State, can also resist the Chu army with my own strength. ”
