Chapter 522: The Overlord Ten Years Later
"It's the Xiang clan who came with Wu Jun!? This is impossible, my two brothers have never mentioned this to me! ”
Sima Geng was indeed an innocent ignorant person, and when he learned that he had brought a thousand clan soldiers to help Zhao Wuxian, his two elder brothers were making small moves behind his back to lead the Wu army into the Song Dynasty, he couldn't help but be shocked.
They had already left their tents and stood on a small dirt slope on the south bank of Mengzhu. Zhao Wuxian pointed to the shadow of the black pressure on the opposite side and said to Sima Geng: "They are on the opposite side, as far as I know, after Zuo Shi and Da Sima were defeated near Shangqiu, they retreated to the northeast of the Song Kingdom, and then sent a letter of help to the Wu State. ”
Sima Geng didn't think too much about it: "Since half of the people who came were under the banner of the Xiang clan, they should be friends rather than enemies." ”
Liu Xiajiao, who came to listen to Hou's dispatch, sneered beside him: "We have confronted the enemy for two days, and we have been fighting for half a day, and they are stunned that they do not appear, and now they have just come out after the battle, and they are marching towards the battlefield with great momentum, this is a friendly army?" I'm afraid it's to sit and watch the two tigers fight, and profit from it afterwards! ”
Zhao Wuxian glared at the thief, telling him not to be rude to Sima Geng. However, the thief was right, the Wu people were in front, and the Xiang clan soldiers were behind, and the two sides joined forces, obviously colluding together. They were discovered by the Zhao scouts ten miles away, and several light horsemen saw that there was a Xiang banner, and went to warn but were shot directly! Zhao Wuxian then sent the envoy again and there was no news, and now the other party has approached within three miles, and the two sides are about to break out!
Le Wei's plan to directly attack Shangqiu was full of branches, and he was very depressed, and he couldn't help complaining: "Zitai is right. The other generation must have come to pick peaches, and they knew that the Xiang family had attracted Wu people. Why do we have to fight the enemy, now the soldiers are tired. Cheapened the other party for nothing......"
This complaint gradually became weak under Zhao Wuxian's stern gaze, and finally he didn't dare to say it. In fact, Le Wei also wondered in his heart that his brother-in-law Zhao Wuxian was also a doctor of Lu Guo, and he was the secretary of Song State! The status is obviously higher than him, and the nominal territory is more than him, but why has he become so afraid of him in less than three years......
Caught in such a situation, Zhao Wuxian also had bitterness and couldn't speak, and the earliest news was that Wu Shi attacked Pengcheng first after entering the Song Dynasty. and around the sun. Pengcheng belongs to the direct subordinate of the Song Dynasty, and Yanyang is the city of the Xiang family, which makes people only think that Wu Guo has helped Le Daxin. That's why he had to fight a decisive battle with the rebels in advance, so as not to suffer the enemy on his back.
Later, the news was repeated, and Wu Shi actually joined forces with the Xiang clan to besiege Xiaoyi, the rebel's nest, which was really unpredictable......
Now the plan is not to investigate, but to stabilize the situation, so Zhao Wuxian said lightly: "Wu people have an ambiguous attitude. If you treat it as a friend, you may become an enemy, and you should not treat it as an enemy. So I could only continue the plan of the decisive battle, and only after solving one side first could I free up my hands to deal with them, but Wu Shi did not attack Xiaoyi for a long time. He abandoned his baggage and went straight to Shangqiu, just in time for the battle of Meng Zhu...... In the final analysis, I still don't know the enemy, and I am also at fault. ”
Everyone present said they didn't dare. If there is no Zhao Wuxian to command the battle, arrange tactics. They couldn't even defeat the rebels, let alone deal with the intervention of the Wu people.
Speaking of which. Zhao Wuxian aggravated his tone in vain: "Now that the Wu people are not good, we can't be careless, Ziniu, you should go over and meet with Zuo Shi and Da Sima first, and ask them about their plans and intentions." The rest of the generals gathered their own soldiers, the wounded and prisoners were placed separately behind, and all those who could fight were in the front line, and Hugh was going to fall into the army! ”
After the battle of Meng Zhu, Zhao Wuxian was in the limelight in the coalition army for a while, if there were still people who doubted his age and status before, but now he only heard about it, and even Cao Guosima, who suffered heavy losses in the battle, did not dare to complain half a word.
Then Zhao Wuxian pedaled to the front line, but his mind was full of information about today's opponent.
"Fucha, the current prince of Wu is chacha, the future Wu Wangfu cha, one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period......"
……
The Five Tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, this is a familiar sentence in later generations, I thought that I would have to wait for the Spring and Autumn Period to end, so that I could divide the hundreds of princes in the past three hundred years into male and female. But after coming to the tail of the sixth century AD, Zhao Wuxian was stunned to realize that the concept of the "Five Tyrants" had already existed.
Xia Bo Kunwu, Yin Bo Dapeng, Feng Wei, Zhou Bo Qi Huan, Jin Wen, are the five uncles.
The overlord, the uncle, to put it bluntly, is the eldest brother among the princes, and his status is above the younger brothers, but in theory he is still subordinated to the father of the Son of Heaven......
If you count it only after King Ping moved eastward, the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons have not yet been publicly discussed, and Zhao Wuxian remembers that there are many candidates for the Five Hegemons in later generations, and two of them are more popular. One of them is: Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Mu of Qin, Duke Xiang of Song, and King Zhuang of Chu.
However, the other is obviously more recognized, as long as the two substitute roles of Qin Mugong and Song Xianggong who are both nameless and substantial are deleted, and then Wu Wangfucha and Yue Wang Goujian, two good friends, can be plugged into the last train.
The life trajectories of these two rivals collided too legendary, and there were too many sighs between the ups and downs, coupled with the fragrance of the beauty's death, which led to the most familiar characters mentioned in the Spring and Autumn Period in later generations, in addition to Confucius, none other than Fucha, Gou Jian, and Xi Shi......
Gou Jian is only the prince of Yue now, and his reputation is not visible to the princes, Xi Shi doesn't know how old he is, maybe it's just a little Lori. Only the husband who was tacitly regarded as a potential opponent by Zhao Wuxian, but he began to pay attention early, and after Taoqiu and Wu Guo took over last year, he also asked Xing Ao, who went to Wu State, to pay special attention.
Fucha, he is the overlord ten years later, the influence of the people all over the world, at the peak of the heyday, defeated Qi, forced Chu, obeyed Yue, the Huaisi princes all surrendered, Zhao Ying was the ruling Jin State can only share the hegemony with it, Wu Wangfucha is in the limelight for a while.
This is Zhao Wuxian's understanding of Fucha, but these cognitions have been refreshed again in the past half a month, if the previous military operations of the Wu people were deliberately deliberately deceived by Fucha, then this person is too worthy of fear, Zhao Wuxian even had a trace of suspicion at that time, could it be Sun Wu?
So when he learned the identity of the enemy's manager, he didn't know if he should breathe a sigh of relief. Such a person cannot be a mediocre person.
Fortunately, Zhao Wuxian not only knows the beginning of the story, but also the end of the story. Know the ending of Fucha and Wu Guo......
……
The car rides like the wind, in the moment of thinking. Zhao Wuxian galloped to the front of the array, at this moment. Wu Shi is already approaching a mile away!
The black dots on the horizon quickly turned into a wave of black oppression, and then turned into an overwhelming black-armored soldier, and the black feathers were erected high in the array, looking at them like ink. The faint sound of footsteps quickly turned into deafening thunder, the earthquake trembled, the sound was like a tidal wave, and the two thousand Wu Guojia soldiers were silently walking closer, and the sound of their shields and short swords was their roar.
The Zhao and Le coalition forces have also been lined up for a long time. Each occupies the left and right. In the face of the Wu army, which was slowly approaching and was about to fight, the soldiers performed well, but the hearts of the Le's soldiers were shaken together with the military formation.
Le Xuan looked at Wu Jun's seemingly unstoppable military formation blankly, and muttered: "I have heard for a long time that Wu Guobu is the best in the world, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”
As for Cao Guosama, who crowded to the front to watch, the moment he saw the battle formation of the Wu army, an indescribable fear enveloped him and made his legs tremble. Teeth chatter, gurgling sounds that even the deaf can hear.
Liu Xia, a thief who has always looked down on the world, was disdainful of Cao Guo's Sima, but his face also became grim, and he turned his face sideways and asked Zhao Wuxian: "Si Kou." If you fight with Wu Shi again, can you win? ”
Zhao Wuxian whispered back to him with a truth: "I'm not sure ......"
It is said that Wu's 30,000 heavily armored army formation was trained by Sun Wu, and the good fighting in the past was retained. But he also practiced perseverance and uniformity. The earlier Zheng army was not as good as it, and even the phalanx of the Zhongxing clan was not as far away. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were the strongest heavy infantry among the princes at the moment, if the Zhao soldiers did not appear......
"I'm not sure I'm sure I'll win. Let's open it ......"
Liu Xia Zhen grinned again: "I'm relieved." ”
Wu Xian said: "Judging from the means of the other party after entering the Song Kingdom, the virtual is real, the virtual is real, the real is the virtual, it seems to be pressed violently, but it will not necessarily start a war......"
He pointed to the soldiers of the Xiang clan who were covered by Wu Shi and said: "The elite of the Xiang clan have been brought out by Sima Ziniu, and all the people in the territory have been recruited from Xiang Chao to make up these two or three thousand miscellaneous soldiers, I heard that the people of Wu have always liked to expel their allies in battle, but now how is it the other way around?" I'm afraid that the attack is fake, the threat is real, even if the war is really like this, the soldiers of the Xiang clan will have no fighting spirit, and we must be careful and vigilant, and we will not be left behind! ”
With Zhao Wuxian's order, the relatively complete front of the warriors was also lined up, the shields were neatly lined up in the first row, Zhang Yu's spear was shining with cold light on it, and the bronze hedgehog once again turned its back towards the comer. Although they only took a defensive position and did not take a step forward, they also put pressure on each other.
But instead of slowing down, the pace of the people of Wu accelerated a little!!
The Le soldiers already have a faint intention to retreat, they are tired after just experiencing a big battle, and they have seen enough of the robes dying by their side, and now they can still hold on, just because of the simplicity and honesty of the Song people's character.
But the warriors did not hesitate at all: the spearmen did not move, and Tian Ben's spear-throwers arrogantly slapped their spears against their small shields; The sword and shield soldiers filled the gaps between the large shields, staring coldly at the enemy who could see their necks; The crossbowmen were already fully wound, and three rows of one-armed crossbows were aimed ahead.
Those slightly inferior Xiluyi soldiers, encouraged by them, also gritted their teeth and insisted on their positions.
Wu Shi's method of communication was different from that of the Central Plains, with Ming Jin as the advance and drumming as the retreat. Against the backdrop of that sharp clanging sound, Wu Jun had already reached seven or eight hundred steps away, and pressed over like a mountain, pressing heavily on everyone's hearts, and also on Zhao Wuxian's heart.
A hundred battles are won, and the good ones who are not good are also good; A soldier who surrenders without a fight, and a good man who is good!
This is a psychological war without the collision of swords, a contest to divide the winner before the battle, and it depends on who can't stand this huge psychological pressure first.
Zhao Wuxian could only comfort himself: "It's okay, although the light cavalry has gone to pursue the Zheng army, but the hundreds of elite bandits in Liu Xia are still ambushed in the reeds, and they can attack the rear of the enemy army at any time......"
"Bang!" A huge drum beat sounded, startling many people, and Cao Guosima almost fell out of the car. There are those who are cowardly, and those who are bold are bold, and the impulsive Tian Ben almost rushed out with the soldiers.
"Wait! Not our drums! The steady Wu Jing, Mu Xia and the others hurriedly stopped the people who wanted to follow them.
It is the drumbeat of the Wu people, and the drumming means to stop advancing......
In unison, the two thousand Wu Jia forcibly stopped at a distance of four hundred paces, and their steps kicked up a large cloud of dust, and after a while, the shadow of a chariot rushed straight out of the dust......
Seeing that the other party stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Xia wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and scolded with a smile: "Won't it be the one who came to the teacher again?" ”
Zhao Wuxian vaguely guessed the other party's plan, and for some reason, blood poured towards his head.
Before the words fell, a tsunami-like roar immediately sounded on the opposite side: "The prince of Wu is here, dare to invite Zhao Sikou to come out and see him!" ”
……
"Stopped...... It seems that it can't be fought. ”
On the top of the hill, after seeing the Wu Division's army formation, the Chu madman let out a sigh, and he couldn't hear that it was a pity, but he was still relieved.
He immediately became impatient, and seeing that Ji Ran was still staring intently at the situation under the hills, he couldn't help but complain: "Let's go, two young nobles are just fighting for power, what's there to see?" ”
Ji Ran glanced at him with disdain: "For me, the meeting of these two people is of great significance. ”
"What does it mean? Did you calculate it again? ”
Ji Ran became a bamboo in his chest, stroked his beard and said: "Since King Ping moved eastward, the Zhou family declined, the princes were strong and weak, and Qi, Chu, Qin, and Jin began to be great. Since then, the government has been governed by Fang Bo, who has taken the righteousness of the royal family, and has greatly prospered the alliance, and the Lile conquest has come out of the princes, known as the overlord. ”
"There are tyrants like Zheng Zhuanggong, there are tyrants like Qin Mugong, and there are also tyrants who are justified and righteous, and the Son of Heaven is the uncle! The first hegemon of the Duke of Qi Huan, ten years after the failure of the hegemony, there was the Duke of Jin Wen to succeed him, and the King of Chu Zhuang succeeded him thirty years after the Duke of Wen of Jin, and since then the position of the overlord has swayed back and forth between Jin and Chu. But it has been more than 30 years since the Pingqiu Meeting, and Jin and Chu have lost hegemony one after another. ”
Chu madman's head was dizzy when he heard this: "What exactly do you want to say?" ”
Ji Ran was a little excited: "The world cannot be without hegemony for fifty years, and those who have the ability to compete for hegemony today are either the Qihou Pestle in the north, or the Wu Wang Lu in the south." The former is ambitious and talented, and he was defeated by the Zhao family, and he lost this opportunity forever, as for the latter, I am afraid that he will not be able to see the Wu State tyrant in his lifetime! ”
"Back then, Zong Zhou Taishi Bo predicted that the royal family would be strong, Qi, Chu, Qin, and Jin would be strong, and now Jin blocked the three rivers, Qi lost the East China Sea, Chu Jiejianghuai, Qin because of the solidity of Yongzhou, and the Quartet was prosperous, and the prophecy was fulfilled, and I also put down a prophecy here......"
Ji Ran pointed vigorously at the two small black dots that were about to meet in front of the two armies on the shore of Mengzhu Lake under the sunset, and the sunlight stretched their figures very long, long to ten years later in Ji Ran's eyes......
"The overlord in ten years is here, either one or the other!"
