Chapter 334: Three Jin, Yiqu
While Dai Yan continued to pay attention to the war in the world, he did not forget to remind his brother-in-law Zhao Yong, asking him to pay attention to this time and not to invest too much strength in this war!
In Dai Yan's opinion, although this time the five countries were combined, with the Chu State as the backbone, the number of troops that could be used was extremely large. However, in Dai Yan's view, the five countries have different minds, and even if they form a coalition army, they will inevitably be in different steps, and it is impossible to really form a close whole, so its failure is undoubted!
Therefore, as a force that is kind to Song Guo, it is also necessary for him to remind his brother-in-law.
Although Qi and Zhao are both in-laws of the Song State, Dai Yan is still inclined to Zhao State, and his reminder to Zhao Yong is also sincere. After all, Zhao and Song did not border, and there was no interest appeal to Song. This is not the case with the State of Qi, the marriage between the State of Qi and the State of Song is to be able to bind and even control the State of Song to the greatest extent. If Dai Yan wanted to maintain the independence of the Song State, he naturally did not want the Song State to be interfered with too much by the Qi State.
However, Dai Yan's kindness was not valued by Zhao Yong, which was really the marriage between Song State and Qi State without authorization before, which offended this high-spirited monarch miserably!
Zhao Yongke didn't care whether Song Guo was forced to marry Qi Guo voluntarily. He only knew that the Song State, which was supposed to be on the side of the Zhao State, didn't even say hello, and in the blink of an eye, he treacherously threw himself on the side of the enemy of the Zhao State, the Qi State! And, most importantly, Dai Yan's behavior made his sister feel wronged!
When Tian Si entered the Song Palace, Zhao Xue, who originally had an arrogant attitude, immediately felt that the crisis was deep! At this time, she no longer dared to stay in Taoqiu, but changed her posture and took Zichu to Pengcheng, and also entered the Song Palace!
As the wife of Dai Yanming, she is very likely to become the queen of the Song Kingdom directly and hold great power in the Song Palace. However, just because she was petty and slowed down Tian Si, her layout in the Song Palace was much slower!
In addition, her talent was not in palace fighting, but in training cavalry and killing enemies externally, she has always been at a disadvantage in the battle with Tian Si in the Song Palace! In the court of the Song Kingdom, there are such two aunts and grandmothers, and Dai Yan is also very painful!
Court struggle is an extremely complex art! Don't look at Dai Yan himself as the monarch of the Song Kingdom, but he didn't dare to show who the chariots and horses supported in the palace fight. After all, both of them have deep backgrounds, and when he has not really determined the status of the Song State as a powerful country, he does not dare to offend one of them at will.
In such a situation, his approach was to let the two aunts and grandmothers fight on their own, and as long as he could maintain the stability of the court, he would not bother too much. And his attitude, although it seems to be neutral, is actually on Zhao Xue's side. It is precisely in this way that Zhao Xue was able to not fall behind in the palace battle!
And Zhao Xue, who was deeply tormented by the palace struggle, did not appreciate Dai Yan's attitude very much. When she was so helpless, she often complained to his younger brother and asked Zhao Guo to give more support!
The news he received from his sister asking for help like this naturally made Zhao Yong extremely dissatisfied with the teacher who had taught him, and even with Dai Yan's kind warning to him, it was as if he hadn't seen it! In the process of the Five Kingdoms Invasion of Qin this time, Zhao Yong still sent the main force of Zhao State at the first time and joined the Five Nations Alliance!
In the large camp on the border of Qin and Wei, Gongsun Yan was checking the information obtained by the Wei army's reconnaissance in the military tent, when he suddenly heard the soldiers report in the account: "General, the army led by General Feiyi of Zhao Guo has reached ten miles away!" ”
When Gongsun Yan heard this, he immediately dropped what he was looking at, and said to his subordinates: "Order, prepare a guard of honor, and go out of the camp to greet you!" ”
The arrival of the Zhao army immediately made the Wei army remaining on the border of Qin and Wei start to get excited! Although he was led by such a legendary general as Wei Xiang before, the thought of facing the tiger and wolf army of the Qin State still had fear in his heart! Now that the Zhao army has arrived, not to mention the rest, at least as soon as the number of troops increases, the courage begins to grow!
And only two days after the Zhao army arrived at the Wei army camp, Han Peng, the Marquis of Wu'an, South Korea, also led the army to arrive! This time, South Korea was extremely concerned about the matter of the alliance, after all, they knew very well that now that Qin was going east, the territory occupied by Wei was almost occupied by Qin. If we can't stop Qin from going east now, Samcheon-gun, the important military state of Korea, will face the threat of Qin!
And here, there is Yiyang, which determines the strength and status of South Korea! If Yiyang is lost, South Korea will forever lose its current status!
The three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei are all three Jin and come from the same source, so they are natural allies. Now that Han and Wei have encountered the threat of Qin, Zhao and Qin have a dispute of interests, which in Gongsun Yan's view, is the most solid force against Qin!
However, why did he have to pull the Chu State and the Yan State together? In the years when the Qin State became a great Liangzao, Gongsun Yan's understanding of the Qin State was far beyond ordinary people, and he knew very well how much great changes had taken place in the seemingly wild place of the Qin State after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and how powerful the country could burst out! If he couldn't get enough countries to participate in the invasion of Qin, he was worried about the lack of strength, and second, he was worried that the courage of the Third Jin Dynasty was not enough!
Not to mention the rest, just Wei and Korea, in these years, have been completely frightened by the madness of the Qin people. Under the stimulation of the law of conferring military merits, the soldiers really didn't want to die when they fought!
And even with the five kingdoms attacking Qin together, Gongsun Yan still felt that his strength was insufficient, and he still wanted to find another powerful helper!
Just as he was waiting for the arrival of the armies of Chu and Yan with Fei Yi and Han Peng, another leader of the Di people who was riding a horse and leading a team of cavalry also began to quietly come to the vicinity of the Qin-Wei border.
After receiving the news, Gongsun Yan immediately accompanied Feiyi and Han Peng to meet with the leader of the Di people. He is none other than the former king of Yiqu Kingdom, Yiqu Horror!
As a great power in Xirong, Yiqu has always been the sworn enemy of Qin! A few years ago, the Qin State defeated Yiqu, which greatly reduced the strength of Deyiqu. As a country that implements the county system, the Qin State was also unable to set up liuguan to manage the vast land of Yiqu, so it had to adopt a policy of Huairou and crown the king of Yiqu as the king, so as to win over Yiqu.
As a nation on the grassland, when the strength is not enough, it is a matter of course to submit to the strong. Yiqu didn't think there was anything wrong with giving in to the Qin State, of course, when he had the opportunity, he still hoped to send troops to the Qin State to avenge the destruction of Yiqu!
And when he heard that Gongsun Yan could help him restore the country, he immediately took a great risk and ran to the border of Qin and Wei to meet Gongsun Yan.
Seeing this Wei Xiang, who was very famous in the Central Plains countries, coming out to greet him, even Yiqu Hao, who was not much interested in the etiquette of the Central Plains, couldn't help but feel happy: This shows that the other party still respects him! There's nothing more exhilarating for him than respecting his prowess!
Seeing Yiqu was shocked, Han Peng directly had an indifferent attitude, but Fei Yi was a little dissatisfied, and he asked with a questioning attitude: "Wei Xiang, what do you mean by summoning my enemies of Zhao State here?" ”
In the process of expanding westward and northward, Zhao encountered several large nomadic tribes in succession, including Yiqu. There have been conflicts between Yiqu and Zhao Guo before, so for King Yiqu, Feiyi naturally has no good face!
When Yiqu heard Feiyi's words, he was also furious, and just as he wanted to have a seizure, he saw Gongsun Yan come out and play a round and said: "General Fei, King Yiqu, and listen to the next word!" Although there was a conflict between Zhao and Yiqu before, now there is not much contradiction between the two countries, on the contrary, both countries have a strong enemy - Qin! The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and here today, I hope that the two of you will sell me a face, put aside the past fighting, and fight against the Qin State together......"
Before Gongsun Yan's words were finished, Fei Yi said directly: "If I, Zhao State, want to join forces with Yiqu, then I, Zhao State, would rather withdraw my troops!" After saying that, he didn't care about Yiqu Xiao and Gongsun Yan, and walked out of the big tent directly!
Yiqu Xiao heard Feiyi's words, and also said to Gongsun Yan: "Wei Xiang, you said that you have a way to restore my Yiqu, but if it is with my Yiqu's enemies, I Yiqu will not agree!" ”
Hearing Yiqu's terrible words, Gongsun Yan agreed: "King Yiqu can rest assured, he will definitely not let Yiqu join forces with our five-nation alliance." The location of Yiqu determines that Yiqu is the real heart disease of Qin, and I hope that Yiqu can play the role of a miracle soldier! This time, our five countries will attack Qin together, even if Qin has great skills, it will definitely send all its troops and horses to meet the battle, and at that time, it will be time for Yiqu to attack Qin! ”
Hearing Gongsun Yan's words, Yiqu was also very satisfied, and he immediately asked: "According to Wei Xiang's meaning, the Five Kingdoms need me Yiqu to attack Qin from behind when Qin is out of the customs and fighting, right?" With such a decision, I naturally have no problem with Yiqu. However, Yiqu is far away from the Five Kingdoms, and the transportation is inconvenient, so when the Five Kingdoms are at war with the Qin State, how can I Yiqu know? ”
Hearing Yiqu Xiao's words, Gongsun Yan laughed and said directly to Yiqu Xiao: "King Yiqu don't worry! It's really time for the Great War between our Five Nations Alliance and the Qin State, and the Qin State will naturally inform you of this news without us reporting it! ”
King Yiqu asked, "What do you mean by what Wei Xiang said?" ”
Gongsun Yan stroked his beard and said confidently: "The Qin State has always been greedy, for you grassland tribes, when the Qin State is peaceful, they will try their best to oppress you, and even send troops to crusade against you; However, when the Qin State is in danger, they will bribe you with heavy gold and beautiful women! Therefore, as long as Yiqu stays in the country, when the Qin people send people to give you heavy gifts, it will inevitably be the time when it is in crisis, and then it will be the time for you to send troops! ”
When King Yiqu heard this, he couldn't help but admire Gongsun Yan's views very much! He clenched his fists at Gongsun Yan and said, "Since this is the case, then I, Yiqu, know what to do!" After speaking, he didn't look back, walked out of the Wei army's tent directly, and returned with his men and horses.
When Yiqu was gone, Han Peng, who was on the side, asked Gongsun Yan: "Xiang Wei, my five-nation alliance is like Mount Tai at the top, and its strength far exceeds that of Qin, so why do you need such a barbarian chieftain to help?" ”
After listening to Han Peng's words, Gongsun Yan said with a sigh: "Wu'an Hou must not underestimate Yiqu, if my expectations are good, this time I am waiting for the battle of Qin, the one who can really make great achievements depends on Yiqu!" ”
