XVII Thunder's Fury
Jin King City, Quwo.
Compared with the slightly shabby capital of Yu Pinglu, the historic Quwo is much more majestic and prosperous, as a country with a population of six million, the royal city of the Jin State naturally cannot be said to be the same as the capital of a small country.
Looking from afar, Quwo is surrounded by mountains on three sides in the middle of the basin, the city wall is as high as six zhang, majestic and magnificent, it is located on the north bank of the Fen River like a dragon and a tiger, the flag is displayed on the city wall, and the wind hunts.
Five thousand armor soldiers stood on the city wall and waited, swords and guns reflected the sun, the armor was shining, and the atmosphere of a great war was coming.
Xun Xi, the doctor who returned from the envoy to Yu Kingdom, hung his head and was as listless as a defeated rooster, leading more than 30 followers through the southern gate of Quwo and heading straight to the palace.
The palace of Jin Xian Gong Zhu is located in the center of Quwo City, covers an area of nearly 100 hectares, the palace is majestic, the building is Xuanxie, the carved beams and painted buildings, the eaves are warped, the momentum is extraordinary, and the momentum of the great country is highlighted.
There is a moat around the palace around the palace, there are three carved jade bridges across the river in front of the main gate of the palace, the military generals and eunuchs can only walk the bridges on both sides, and the bridge in the middle can only be passed by Jin Xiangong himself and the officials who have been rewarded.
In front of the palace gate, two white jade lions as high as three zhang are lifelike, guarding the gate of the palace, and two thousand guards with bright armor are holding Changge to guard the palace, one person every ten steps, row upon row, stretching endlessly.
Knowing that Xun Xi had returned from his mission, the forty-year-old Jin monarch Jin Xiangong summoned his military ministers in the Xuanwu Hall to discuss the matter of using the Tao to defeat Yu.
Although he is in a high position, Jin Xiangong, who has been in Rong Ma for half his life, is still very strong, burly, with bright eyes, and an extraordinary bearing. At this moment, he was sitting in the middle, scanning His Highness's Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.
The civil official on the left is led by Chong'er, and this Chong'er is none other than the son of Jin Xiangong Zhu, and one of the famous Spring and Autumn Five tyrants in Chinese history.
Jin Xian was a meritocracy, and directly appointed his son Ji Chong'er as the prime minister, leading the ministers, and the governor of state affairs.
And Chong'er also lived up to his father's expectations, since he served as the prime minister of the Jin State, he worked hard to govern the country, and he dreamed of sleeping at night, and the governance of the Jin State was thriving, the treasury was full, the grain was rich, the armor was strong, and the swords and guns were sharp. It made the people of the Jin Kingdom feel high and their morale high, and they wanted to dominate the world and win the position of the overlord of the four seas.
Under the heavy ears stood the six secretaries of the Jin State in turn, namely Hu Yan, Zhao Yuan, Jia Tuo, Xun Yao, Rick, Yang Virgin and others, all with a serious face.
The military general on the right was led by the general, and I saw him wearing armor, his face solemn, motionless like a statue, and he even blinked his eyes for a long time.
Below the first stand Bi Wan, Zhao Shu, Wei Chou (Wei Li), Wei Jiang, Hu Shootgu, Zhao Dun and others, all dressed in military uniforms, as if facing a great enemy.
Xun Xi is the second civil official of the Jin State after Chong'er, and he can enter the main hall without notification.
I saw him tiptoe all the way to trot, trembling into the Xuanwu Hall and kneeling on the ground: "Chen Xunxi has returned from his envoy to meet the lord!" ”
Wei Zhu bowed his head slightly, and motioned to Xun Xi to calm down: "Xun Qing has been tired all the way, hard work!" I think Ji Xian, this waste, saw Tianzunbi and Benxiao, but he was afraid that his mouth would not be able to close when he smiled, right? Ha ha...... When will you open the Jiangguan Pass and let my Jin army cross the border? ”
Xun Xi didn't dare to get up, knelt on the ground and sweated on his forehead: "Go back...... If you return to the lord, the minister will be humiliated by the mission! ”
"Oh......"
Jin Xiangong showed an unexpected expression, frowned, and said, "What? Ji Yan resisted the temptation of the treasure and did not agree to our conditions? It seems that he is very loyal to the friendship between Yu Xun! ”
Xun Xi knelt on the ground, raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat and said: "Back to the lord's words, Ji Xi is a thing that sees money, and when he sees Tianzunbi and Benxiao Ma, he almost forgot who he is, but he didn't expect Baili Xi to return to Pinglu at the critical moment......"
"Oh...... Is it this old fox who has ruined our plans? ”
Wei Zhu pinched the wine glass in his hand vigorously, revealing a look of anger, "Sooner or later, the widow will kill this old horseman!" ”
Taishi Jia Tuo took a step forward and arched his hand: "I'll just say that this Ji Yan obeys Baili Xiyan, and if he wants to destroy him in a false way, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide from this old fox." ”
Wei Zhu snorted coldly: "Hmph...... The widow was reluctant to give Tianzunbi and Galloping Horse to Ji Xian for this waste, and he was not even willing to keep it temporarily! Since he doesn't know the current affairs, let's just attack and destroy the Yu State first! ”
"What the lord said is extremely true, and the ministers are willing to be pioneers!" Under the leadership of the pioneers, the generals swore in unison.
Xun Xi knelt down and kowtowed, hitting the ground with his forehead: "If you return to the lord, the minister has insulted the mission and did not bring back Tianzunbi and the galloping horse." ”
"What?"
Wei Zhu's eyebrows suddenly jumped violently, and his face was murderous, "You're not kidding? Why not leave your head behind? ”
Xun Xi explained with a sad face: "Originally, Ji Xi had lost his mind, and turned a deaf ear to the bitter persuasion of Baili Xi's father and son and Gong Zhiqi, and even severely reprimanded him, determined to sever the relationship with the Kingdom of Yu and fight the ......Kingdom together with our Jin Kingdom."
"If that's the case, why is there such a big turn?" Wei Zhu asked with a pant of anger.
Xun Xi shook his head and sighed: "Who knew that a guy named Fang Li jumped out, not only instigated Ji Yan to leave Tianzunbi and Galloping Horse, but even ...... Even ......"
"Or even what?" His eyes were wide open, and he glared angrily, not angry and self-threatening.
Xun Xi put his head on the ground: "This Fang Li even instigated Ji Yan to ask for Concubine Li's ......."
"Bastard!"
Tricky Zhu got up and swept the bamboo slips in front of him to the ground, "I'm really angry, where is the first?" The widow ordered you to lead an army of 200,000 to attack the Yu country, capture Ji Yan for me, recapture Tianzunbi and the galloping horse, and skin this guy called Fang Li to cramp, so as to eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”
Without waiting for the first to receive the order, the twenty-five-year-old Chong'er took a step forward and said: "Please ask my father to take a break from the wrath of the thunder, it is imperative to attack the Yu country, but you must not be in a hurry, you must think long-term!" ”
He pointed at Xun Xi hatefully and scolded angrily: "You...... You, it's all your bad idea, let the widow lose the jade and BMW, not to mention, and was humiliated by Ji Yan and a nobody, if it is spread out, won't the widow become a laughing stock? What face do you still have to stand above the court, just take the initiative to resign and go home to farm! ”
"The minister is incompetent, and the minister deserves death!"
Xun Xi hit his head on the ground and pleaded guiltily, "The minister went to Yu State this time to grasp the geography clearly, and he is willing to partner with General Xianzhen to swear to destroy Yu Guo, cut off the heads of Ji Xi, Baili Xi, and Fang Li, and let out a bad breath for the lord." ”
"Humph......"
Wei Zhu flicked his sleeves and let out a cold snort, which calmed the anger in his heart and said loudly: "You two listen, the widow will give you 200,000 soldiers and horses, and within a month, I will set foot in the Yu country and include Yu in the territory of the Great Jin!" ”
"Oh (Obey the Lord)!" Xianzhen and Xun Xi agreed in unison.
Chong'er spoke again: "Father, it is naturally easy to destroy the Yu Kingdom with our national strength, and even if the Yu Kingdom comes to help, with my Dajin's strength today has far exceeded that of previous years, it is not a problem to destroy them." However, we should pay attention to the actions of several other major powers, and ensure that nothing goes wrong before using troops, so as not to be seized by other countries and take advantage of the fisherman. ”
After the rage, Wei Zhu had completely calmed down, and he stroked his beard and muttered: "What Wu'er said is extremely true, in your opinion, what should we worry about the most is the Qin State in the west, or the Qi State in the east?" There are only these two countries that are the strongest in the world, and other countries, all other countries are ignored! ”
