Chapter 243: Winning the Kingdom of Jin [9/25]
The Chu army advanced deep into the Jin State, and along the way, except for the attack on Linghuyi, which took some time, it was effortless to attack other cities.
At this point, half of the territory of the Jin State fell into the hands of the Chu State.
Jin Linggong only knew his fear at this time and sent an envoy to negotiate peace.
Looking at the envoy of the Jin Kingdom on the weekend, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling. If the Chu army attacks again, the entire Jin State will be in the bag, and the Jin State actually wants to negotiate peace whimsically? I really don't understand Jin Linggong's brain circuit.
"King Zhuang, the Jin Kingdom is willing to cede three cities."
"Not enough!"
The envoy gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the Chu State is willing to withdraw its troops, the Jin State can send the five cities of the Chu State, and there are also half of the treasures in the treasury of the Jin State." ”
The corners of his mouth lifted a sneer on the weekend, "You go back and tell King Jin that what I want is the entire Jin Kingdom." Can he give? ”
The generals of Chu State laughed at the same time.
The envoy of the Jin Kingdom trembled violently, "You actually want to annex the entire Jin Kingdom?" ”
"So what?"
Jin Guo said in a loud voice: "King Zhuang, you can't go too far in everything. After all, the Jin State is the largest country in the Central Plains, and if we are forced to be in a hurry, it will not benefit anyone if everyone dies. ”
"If you want to die and break the net, it depends on whether the Jin State has the strength." Most of the Jin State was taken by the Chu State, and the current Jin State no longer has the ability to resist the Chu State. The entire Jin Kingdom is now within reach.
"In that case, then we have nothing to talk about." The Jin envoy blew his beard, glared at his sleeves and left.
Weekend shook his head speechlessly. It's all come to this point, the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom are still so blindly confident?
The next day, over the weekend ordered the army to continue its march. The army marched all the way north, and the closer it was to the capital of the Jin Kingdom, the lower the morale of the Jin State became, and the resistance was slightly weaker. However, in less than a month, the Chu army reached the capital of the Jin Kingdom and surrounded the Jin capital.
There were still 100,000 soldiers and horses in the capital of the Jin Kingdom. However, the Chu army has finished gathering soldiers and horses, and now there are more than 300,000 people. Along the way, the Chu army almost did not encounter any resistance, and every time the Chu army was as brave as a tiger, its strength completely crushed the Jin army, and it was as easy as crushing the Jin army to death.
"How's that okay?" The ministers were in a hurry in the main hall.
Zhao Dun slowly closed his eyes, his eyes full of unbearability. He followed King Wen and created a generation of hegemony in the Jin Kingdom. witnessed the glory of the Jin Kingdom, but I didn't expect to see the decline of the Jin Kingdom.
Jin Linggong walked around the court hall without any monarchical manners. He suddenly looked at Zhao Dun, as if grasping the last straw. "Zhao Dun, hurry up and figure out a way?"
Zhao Dun looked frustrated, "So far, what else can be done." It's just that I'm a fish and a man! ”
"Haven't you always had a lot of ideas?"
Zhao Dun looked distressed. "No matter how many thoughts the minister has, will you listen to the Spirit King?" There is no strong reinforcement outside the Jin Dynasty, and there are no strong troops inside, how can they confront the powerful Chu State? The great mountains and rivers of the Jin Kingdom were destroyed in the hands of Linggong.
"Presumptuous! How dare you talk to me like that? ”
"Until now, I don't dare to do anything. If you hadn't insisted on going your own way and had to join forces with the Zhou Dynasty to provoke the Chu State, how could the Jin State have the disaster of destroying the country? ”
Jin Linggong was so angry that he jumped to his feet, and his face turned the color of pig liver. "Presumptuous! Do you think that the Chu army is about to come in anyway, so I can't help you? Someone's coming! Pull down the punishment of the car split. ”
Zhao Dun's grief is greater than his heart dying. At the moment of national crisis, Linggong will only lose his temper with their ministers, and he has no royal manners.
"Lingwang thinks twice, Dr. Zhao has done his best for the Jin Kingdom, and there is no merit and hard work."
Zhao Dun is a veteran of the three dynasties, and the old ones are all over the court, how could he watch him die.
Except for the minister promoted by Linggong, the rest of the people fell to their knees.
"You see that the Jin Kingdom is about to die, so you don't take me in your eyes, yes or no?"
"Spirit King, please open the net."
"How unreasonable!" A minister with a somewhat similar face to Zhao Dun stood up.
This person is Zhao Dun's brother Zhao Chuan.
"Zhao Chuan, are you going to rebel?"
Zhao pierced his eyes as big as copper bells, was born with a burly figure, big shoulders and a round waist, and his voice was even louder. "You're unconscious! What did my eldest brother do wrong? You are going to tear him apart. The disaster of the Jin Kingdom and the destruction of the country is all caused by you. The one who deserves to die the most is you. ”
Zhao Chuan stepped forward, pressed Jin Linggong to the ground, picked up Wang Xi on the table and smashed it towards Lai Linggong's head.
"Stop!" Zhao Dun hurriedly stopped Zhao Chuan, but it was too late.
Blood flowed from the corners of Jin Linggong's forehead, and his two eyes stared blankly at the ceiling.
"Zhao Chuan, you dare to murder the king in public!" The ministers were frightened.
"This faint king should have been killed a long time ago. If it weren't for him, how could the Jin Kingdom have this catastrophe. Zhao Chuan glanced at everyone and said what everyone thought.
"The king is dead, what should we do next?"
Zhao Dun touched Jin Linggong's face with his hand and closed his eyes. "The Chu army is approaching the city, and the Jin State can't resist it at all. Right now
We can only surrender, maintain some of our strength, and leave it to support another clan in the future. "During the Warring States Period, when the two countries were at war, even if one country was destroyed, the victorious country would not be wiped out, but would only take the royal family of the defeated country captive, and would give official positions in favor." As long as someone from the royal family can survive, the Jin Kingdom will not die. ”
"Surrender?" Zhao Dun sent people out of the city to surrender to the weekend, and the weekend sneered, "Kill me in, kill everything!" Grab the light! Burn it out! ”
He looked at the city walls of the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and his eyes were as cold as lightning.
He did not accept the surrender of the Jin Kingdom.
Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. Since ancient times, the superior can have good thoughts, but when it is time to hate, he cannot be soft-hearted. Tang Taizong was a saint of the ages, but when the Xuanwu Gate changed, if he hadn't killed his brother, he wouldn't have become an emperor at all.
He didn't care how other countries treated defeated countries during the Warring States Period. He only knows that the wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows. He can be merciful to the people of the Jin Kingdom, because in the near future, the people of the Jin Kingdom will become his people, but the royal family of the Jin Kingdom is different, but whoever has anything to do with the royal family of the Jin Kingdom should not even think of flying out.
"Oh no! The Chu army has come in! Jin Linggong's close guard commander ran in, and fell to the ground because he ran too quickly, and the tearing sound sounded in everyone's ears.
One of the courtiers fell to the ground in fright. "How can it be so fast?"
Zhao Dun closed his eyes in pain. King Zhuang actually blocked his last road. The Jin Kingdom is really coming to an end.
"Run! The Chu army has come in! ”
There was a rush of soldiers in the court. The ministers didn't care about any manners, they just fled, and the capital of the Jin Kingdom suddenly became a pot of porridge.
