Chapter 775: The Lion's Big Opening (Part I)
PS: Chapter 2, ask for subscriptions, ask for recommendation votes, and don't really teach me that there are no lions in China in the Spring and Autumn Period......
β¦β¦
The Chen family of Qi Guo didn't dare to brag about anything else, but he was a good hand at giving birth to one by one, and any family had five or six children. For more than 100 years, the descendants of the sons who fled from the Chen State have been spreading their branches in Qidi, and what is even more rare is that not only the quantity is large, but also the quality is excellent, no one in the generations of family heads is vegetarian, and the rest of the descendants of Sima Sui Tho, Sun Shu, Sun Wu and other side branches are also famous.
This Chen Bao, who was ordered to take the fleet to monitor the movements of Zhao Wuxian's army on the big river, was Chen Heng's clan brother, and he was given the task of keeping an eye on the Zhao army and leaving enough time for the more than 10,000 people of the Chen family to retreat - if Zhao Wuxian patted his head and intercepted Chen Heng, who was returning to the division, their family would be unable to steal chickens and rice.
Avoiding fighting with Zhao Jun was something that Chen Heng put in the first place.
Therefore, after Zhao Wuxian could not cross the river and made a gesture of going north to Yiyi, Chen Bao panicked, and he hurriedly opened the letter that Chen Heng handed him before, hung up the white flag according to the above, and took a small boat to meet Zhao Wuxian on the shore to show their "goodwill" of the Chen family.
"Goodwill?" Zhao Wuxian pointed to the Chen fleet that anchored and anchored on the big river and sneered, one big wing, ten small wings in the middle wing, and more than ten ships in addition, it was already a water force that could not be ignored, and anyone who wanted to cross the river had to think about one or two.
"I only see Chen's determination to be my enemy, and I don't see any kindness."
"The general is angry, I am also commanding the fleet for the first time, and it is inevitable that the dispatch will be wrong, so that the ships have misunderstood my meaning and actually prevented your army from returning home, which is really not right. But the head of the Chen family and the prince of the family really want to reconcile with the Zhao family, and our hearts are ......."
Zhao Wuxian interrupted him impatiently: "Enough, you don't need to say pretty things, what are you doing here?" β
Chen Bao sneered: "The boat master will get out of the way, so that the general can return to the country smoothly, from now on the west of the river, south of Mount Tai will be owned by the king, the Chen family is in Gaotang, Donglai, the two families have something to do, they share weal and woe, and if they have nothing to do, they are not related." β
"The Chen family set aside the Marquis of Qi to ask me for peace, is this the duty of a courtier? Besides, I suddenly don't want to return to China now. β
Zhao Wuxian yawned and said to the generals and retainers next to him: "The Qi State lost troops and lost troops in the battle by the Wenshui River, and the domestic ministers did not agree, it is a good opportunity for me to restore the old territory, and the Wenyang Zhitian belonging to the Lu State has been taken by my Sima Liu, and the Yiyi belonging to the Jin State must also be taken back, so that I will have the confidence to return to the Jin Dynasty." β
Everyone laughed, and Chen Bao was in a hurry: "Yiyi Jiancheng, thousands of guards, and the general's tired division, why bother to lose both?" β
Zhao Wuxian smiled: "Tired? I have rested enough in Lu country, and the soldiers have complained that their muscles and bones are beginning to relax, and they are gearing up to go to the next city. What's more, you and I are the Marquis of Qi, and you only know how to use human lives to pile up? β
He waved his hand lightly, and the public loss class had to be ordered to go, just when Chen Bao was still ignorant, not long after, there was a thunderous sound of stones by the river, and several ballistas arranged in the tidal flat bushes were fired in unison, and several stone bullets weighing more than ten catties were fired at Chen Bao's big wing more than 100 steps away. The crosshairs were limited, and they basically fell into the water, making a big splash, but one directly hit the bow of the ship, smashing the boat violently, and the people on it were frightened and hurriedly turned away.
"This is ......" Chen Bao was dumbfounded, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground.
Although it was rumored that the Zhao clan used a mysterious weapon that could send boulders in the battle of Wenshui, when he saw it today, he believed that it was true. It seems that the equipment that broke through Chaoge and Handan last year is this thing? It's a pity that the main body of the ballista is hidden in the tidal shrubs, and Chen Bao can't see it really, and he can't let the craftsman imitate it after he goes back.
Zhao Wuxian did not hide his threat at all: "I have 20,000 armor soldiers, and there are 100 sharp weapons for sending stones, as long as I am in a place outside Yiyi City where arrows can't shoot, and shoot thousands of stone bullets a day, tell me, how long can Yiyi Shou last?" β
Chen Bao's palms are sweaty, if this is the case, let alone Yiyi, even if the Zhao family fights all the way to Gaotang, it is not strange that even Linzi is down. He was also lucky to come early to ask for peace, otherwise he might be attacked by flying stones a few hours later, no wonder his cousin Chen Heng arranged for him to take the initiative to contact Zhao Wuxian, the Zhao clan is too terrifying in terms of hard power and ingenuity, and it is true that it cannot be an enemy......
was stunned, but heard Zhao Wuxian ask again: "Didn't Chen Zichang teach you how to deal with people before you came?" When the doctor met with the secretary, he didn't prepare a little gift and sincerity? β
Chen Bao hurriedly said: "I'll go make up for the meeting gift......
"I don't want lambs or geese."
"Huh?"
Wuxian thought he was stupid: "Okay, come here, I'll show you." β
In front of the wide screen, a paper map was spread out on the mat, which was the rough boundary of Qilu Jinwei. Zhao Wuxian held a charcoal pencil in his hand, frowned for a while and stretched for a while, he drew on the left and right, and when he was satisfied, he patted his blackened hand and said, "I don't want much, these are the places." β
Chen Bao looked at it fixedly, and almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood, is this still less? Zhao Wuxian enclosed the entire Hejian Land and the two large lands at the junction of Qilu!
He asked with a dry smile, "General...... General, what do you mean by this? β
"Can't understand this? Chen Heng usually understands what I want, why did he send someone like you. Zhao Wuxian frowned, lamenting bitterly that the descendants of the Chen family were not as good as the next generation.
He pointed to the map with his toes and said: "Since the Battle of Wenshui, I have been waiting for the Marquis of Qi to negotiate with me to discuss the redemption of the generals and soldiers and compensation for the war losses, but I can't wait for a long time, I can only send someone to the southern Xinjiang of Qi to ask for it." Of course, it is the same for the Chen clan to come forward to talk to me now, which also means that you will have to bear what you should pay for the defeat of the Qi State. The Hejian land seized by the Chen clan is wanted by the Zhao family, the Yiyi that was seized before, the Zhao clan also wants it, and the Jiagu Mountains south of Ailing and Long Spoon, and the fields of Wenyang south of Fangmen and Jishui will also be owned by the Lu State! β
Chen Bao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, although the Chen family would definitely pay something if he took the initiative to ask the Zhao family for peace, but Zhao Wuxian was too greedy! Just the Hejian land that my cousin just seized, although the land is vast and sparsely populated, there is no rich place, but in terms of area alone, it is equivalent to one-third of the country of Lu!
The other two, although the field of Wenyang was disturbed by the willow plant, it was also a place of ointment in the past, as for the eastern foothills of Taishan Mountain south of Ailing and Changlao, it was the bridgehead of Qi to attack Lu State, and it was also important......
He was thinking about this, but Zhao Wuxian continued to count the "indemnity" that the Chen family needed to pay: "You don't have to take a few beauties surnamed Jiang to prevaricate me, all I want are in kind, 500,000 stone of grain, plus 100,000 knife coins, 100 copper and tin, 100 iron and 2,000 salt, and the delivery will be completed in half a year, how about it?" β
Chen Bao was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and said with a sad face: "General, this matter is very important, I am just a little doctor, I can't be the master......"
"Oh, you can't be the master, you almost forgot about it."
Zhao Wuxian showed a kind smile: "I don't know where Chen Zichang is, is he in Yiyi, or has he returned to Gaotang?" I went to him myselfβwith 20,000 armor soldiers and a sharp weapon, what about it? β
Chen Bao's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "No need, no need, I'll go to the prince and the head of the family and inform them of the general's request......
He hurried away, the boat was much more eager than when it came, and the oars beat the waves quickly, heading towards the big wing of Qi that had shrunk to the center of the river.
Chen Bao didn't notice that after Zhao Wuxian behind him looked at the river for a while, he asked people to remove the screen that had just been placed behind him, and behind the screen, there was Gao Wupi with a pale face.
β¦β¦
Guo Xia and Gao Wupi are the two highest-ranking hostages in Zhao Wuxian's camp, as long as these two people are in hand, those loyal ministers of the country and the Gao family will have to serve him well in the Lu country. Of course, Guo and Gao also know their identities, but Guo Xia turned his face with Zhao Wuxian after Yangsheng was beheaded in half, and he was on a hunger strike, and Zhao Wuxian didn't want to deal with him, if Guo Xia really had the will to die, he wouldn't surrender before, let him go first, just a captive, how could he be arrogant?
Therefore, his strategy target is on the younger and simpler Gao Wupi.
Wuxian walked over and sat down beside Gao Wupi, pushed a glass of wine in front of him, and then said, "Gaozi, did you hear what Chen Bao said clearly?" β
"Not a word is missing." Gao Wupi gritted his teeth, at this time, the Chen family put aside the monarch and his ruling father Gao Zhang, and went to Zhao Wuxian privately to ask for peace, how could he not see their wolf ambitions?
But his guard against Zhao Wuxian did not lower in the slightest, and he didn't want to call him concerned: "I heard the general boasting about his military strength, doubling the number of ballistas, and missing the fatigue of the Zhao army's journey for days, and asking the Chen clan to cut a lot of land to you, do you want to take this opportunity to rely on the Chen clan to get what the war can't get......"
In fact, there is more than the number, the ballista was damaged nearly half in the battle of Wenshui, plus the rain on the way, now there are only a dozen of them that can be used, and the rest need to be repaired. Zhao Wuxian laughed: "Gao Zi is very careful, but unfortunately, the place where the care is used is not right, it should not be aimed at your friends, it should be aimed at our common enemy." β
Gao Wupi's mouth was not false: "Friend? I thought the general was a friend of the Chan family......"
Zhao Wuxian's face became gloomy: "The Chen family is the enemy who participated in the murder of my father-in-law, and I am tired of making false promises with his peers, not to mention that I think that in the near future, they will also become the enemies of Gaozi." β
There are words in the words, be careful, Guoxia's warning is especially in his ears, Gao Wupi turned his face away: "Although my family and the Chen family are not in harmony, it is not like this, our Qi people do not like to kill each other like the Jin people." "Really?" Zhao Wuxian showed a meaningful smile: "Gao Zi still hasn't thought it through, it seems that you have to follow me back to the Jin Kingdom first to see different scenery, so as to arouse homesickness." β
He drank all his wine, and when he turned around, he said softly: "If what I expected, the reason why the Chen clan dared to be bold enough to contact me, the Qi Marquis in Linzi is either seriously ill or dead!" If Chen Heng returns to the country with a large army, I am afraid that Gao will be more auspicious! β
