Chapter 244: Frightened in all directions
The Chu army entered the capital of the Jin Kingdom. Because of the order of the weekend, the Chu army no longer had any scruples, killed people when they saw them, robbed them when they saw them, the Jin Palace was in flames, the palace maids and the chamberlains fled in a hurry, scurrying around, and there were corpses lying on the ground.
After the generals of the Chu army rushed into the Jin state, they began to search for the whereabouts of the Jin Linggong. Sun Ping found a Jin minister in the corner of the court who had time to escape.
The minister was a lot old, and he hid in the corner and shivered.
glanced at Sun Ping, who was covered in blood, and his body trembled even more, "Don't kill me!" ”
Sun Ping pulled him out of the corner. "Say! What about the Jin kings? ”
"The Spirit King is dead."
Sun Ping pulled out a knife and put it on his neck, "You dare to lie to me?" ”
"It's true. Before, the spirit king in the court wanted to split Dr. Zhao Dun, but Dr. Zhao couldn't stand it, so he killed the spirit king in the court. ”
Sun Ping immediately reported the matter to King Zhuang.
The weekend whispered: "The historical Jin Linggong died at the hands of the two brothers Zhao Dun and Zhao Chuan. It's meant to be! ”
However, a monarch like Jin Linggong is unlucky.
"What about the clan of the Jin Kingdom?"
"According to King Zhuang's instructions, anyone who is related to the Jin clan will not be killed. Soldiers are searching the Jindu. ”
"What about the two brothers, Zhao Dun and Zhao Chuan?"
"Hunting."
"These two people are very talented, especially Zhao Dun, who has assisted Duke Wen of Jin. Neither courage nor talent can be compared with ordinary people. And he is deeply loved by the people of the Jin Kingdom.
If he were alive, the Jin Kingdom would most likely be resurrected. Ordered, no matter who used any method, as long as he could kill Zhao Dun, he would be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. ”
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount in the Warring States Period, I believe that the soldiers will definitely open their eyes and dig three feet into the ground to find out Zhao Dun.
"King Zhuang has an order, whoever can kill Zhao Dun will get five hundred taels of silver." The herald loudly passed King Zhuang's orders to the soldiers in the capital of the Jin Kingdom.
There are some miscellaneous items piled up on the street corner of the capital, and behind the miscellaneous items are the two Zhao brothers who are hiding.
Hearing the herald's words, Zhao Dun sighed, "King Zhuang will not let me go." Second brother, run for your life. Don't let me get you out of the way. ”
"Big brother, we are brothers. I must not leave you alone. ”
Zhao Dun looked at the fire rising from the Jin Palace in the distance. "Second brother, King Zhuang will not let me go no matter what, you may be able to survive alone, if you are with me, then you will have no way to live. The Jin Kingdom is over, you can escape first, and if you can, you will restore the Jin Kingdom.
If not, then you can live in seclusion in a place, save your life, and let my Zhao family leave a trace of blood. ”
Zhao Chong shook Zhao Dun's hand movingly. What Zhao Dun said did make sense, but he didn't want to leave Zhao Dun behind, "Big brother! ”
"Who?" A group of patrolling soldiers heard a voice in the corner and shouted loudly.
"Second brother, you must take care." After Zhao Dun said this, he rushed out with an arrow step.
"It's Zhao Dun! Chase! "The ordinary soldiers of the Chu State don't know what Zhao Dun looks like. However, Zhao Dun is ranked among the three princes and nine kings, and the court clothes he wears are embroidered with cranes. No one in the Jin Kingdom is qualified to wear this dress except him.
The soldiers immediately chased after them.
Zhao Dun was old and his legs were not fast, and he ran out a little more than 100 meters before he was caught up by the soldiers. King Zhuang's order is that whoever kills Zhao Dun can get the five hundred taels. The soldiers raised their long knives and snatched their hands for merit.
The long knife fell quickly, and Zhao Dun's head flew up, blood splattered three feet.
The soldier who slashed Zhao Dun immediately lifted Zhao Dun's head and went to see King Zhuang.
When I saw Zhao Dun's head over the weekend, I was relieved. Although Zhao Pier was not caught, Zhao Piercing's ability was much worse than Zhao Dun's, so there was nothing to be afraid of at all.
On weekends, he left some men and horses in every city of the Jin Kingdom to guard them, and a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses followed him when he returned to Chu. But no one dared to underestimate Chu Guo anymore, let alone underestimate him.
"Yuhuan, Suyuan, I'll be back soon!" He rode on his horse, glanced at the fiery red sky in the distance, and said to himself.
The Great War was won, and no one in the entire Warring States could threaten his position anymore.
During the attack on Jin, he commanded the army to march very quickly, and at this time the battle was settled, and on the way back to Chu, in order to let the soldiers get a better rest, he deliberately slowed down the march.
The Zhou royal family and the rest of the great powers had their own ghosts and had been paying close attention to the battle between Jin and Chu.
When the dust had settled, the scouts sent by the nations hurried back to their masters to pay their respects.
King Zhou Ding couldn't believe his ears when he heard the news of the destruction of the Jin Dynasty by the Chu State, and almost fell from the throne. "The Jin Kingdom was destroyed. How can it be? The Jin Kingdom is the largest country in the Central Plains! ”
The Jin State is not big and insignificant, but has excellent military strength. But now in less than two months, the Jin State has been destroyed, which shows that the Chu State is now strong.
King Zhou Ding's face turned pale at this time. He conspired with the Jin State before, so that the Jin State had a reputation for clamoring, and the Chu State must have known about it. Although the Zhou royal family had its own army, it could not be compared with the vassal states at all.
If King Zhuang kills to take revenge, the Zhou royal family will be powerless to resist at all.
The Qin State is adjacent to the Jin State, and he cares most about the success or failure of the Jin State. When the king of Qin heard the scout say that the state of Chu had destroyed the state of Jin, he was stunned for a moment. "Are you mistaken? It was the Jin State that destroyed the Chu State, right? ”
Although it is unlikely that Jin will destroy Chu, it is a few more likely than Chu destroying Jin. The border between the Jin State and the Qin State is interdependent, and it can be said that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the Jin State is destroyed, and the Qin State will also be in danger.
"King, it's true, the Jin Kingdom has been destroyed." The scout's voice was loud.
"The state of Chu is so powerful?" King Qin was shocked, "It's only been two months to destroy the huge Jin Kingdom." ”
"Great King, each of the soldiers of the Chu State has a heaven-sent divine weapon in his hand. With the help of the divine soldiers, the soldiers of the Jin State were simply vulnerable in front of the soldiers of the Chu State.
Moreover, the state of Chu also learned immortal arts. On the battlefield, even large siege equipment such as catapults, ladders, and rushing carts were taken out in a matter of moments. ”
King Qin swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Among the vassal states, the relationship between Qin and Jin was the best. If King Zhuang is angry with the Qin State, then the Qin State is not in danger. He immediately ordered the chamberlain Yun to summon the ministers to discuss countermeasures.
King Qin glanced at the ministers and asked anxiously, "Great King, it is imperative that the State of Qin should reconcile with the State of Chu." ”
"What Dr. Li said is, but what should be done at that time?"
"Choosing a princess to give to King Chuzhuang may ease the relationship between Qin and Chu." Cai Guo is just a small country, but because he sent a princess and was blessed by Chu State, he sat back and relaxed, and no one in the surrounding neighboring countries dared to fight Cai Guo's idea.
