Chapter 873: Wang Sun Sheng
Zhao Wuxian was not idle in Chaoge, he had been observing, waiting, waiting for Han's request for help. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, waiting for him, there was also a copy of Zheng Guo's petition for peace.
Zheng Guo's current ruler is Handa, and the envoy he sent is the son of the previous ruler, Si Hong.
"Is Zheng Guo willing to sacrifice the city and return it to Shangluo?" As soon as they met, Zhao Wuxian asked him this question.
Zichan's spirit of not being afraid of violence in diplomacy seems to have penetrated into the body of this group of young people he educated and raised, Zheng Guoqi, Mu Biyan, Zhongshan, and even Qi people are much more difficult to deal with.
I only heard Si Hong say neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Zheng is not guilty, why do you want to sacrifice the city?" A big country can't easily humiliate a small state, and Zheng Guo never accepts unreasonable responsibility! As for Shangluo, hey, Shangqing must have forgotten, many years ago, who sent Zigong to Xinzheng to lobby Zheng Guo to seize this place? Zheng Guo also became the secretary of state and has admitted that he ceded this place to Zheng Guo, who expected that today the secretary of state will be relieved of the crisis, and he will have to regret it, this move is not the work of a big country. β
Zhao Wuxian was slightly stunned: "Then why are you here today?" β
"Zheng Guo hopes that Shangqing can make the Han clan quit! Zheng is willing to offer Nanyan and serve as Shangqing's Yangyi! β
Nanyan, originally a small state surnamed Yao, was once a vassal of Zheng Wei, and was annexed by Zheng Guo after his heir. This is a bribe, after Qi State bribed Zhao with a river, so that the Zhao family truce, Zheng Guo also played the same trick, but the Nanyan they wanted to give up is now in the hands of the Han family, and wants empty gloves white wolf? It's beautiful.
Zhao Wuxian still did not let go, but ceding Nanyan was already Zheng Guo's bottom line, although Qi Guo made a soft posture, but Chen Qi secretly communicated with Zheng Guoren, if Zhao and Han were pressing step by step and wanted to destroy Zheng Guo, Qi State was willing to contact Qin State, and even Zheng's new backer Chu State, to deal with Jin State together!
Zheng Guo sent an envoy to ask for peace, just one more hope for a peaceful settlement, and if he couldn't, Zheng Guo was not too afraid. They are used to war, and the son of the child, the old Longzhong's Zi Si, also analyzed that the three secretaries of the Jin State have their own thoughts, and it is impossible to work together, as long as the Han clan can be defeated, it would be good if the Wei clan did not fall into the ground, and the Zhao clan would not send a large army for this.
However, Zheng Guoren was wrong this time, and after waiting for a few days, the anxious Han Hu himself ran to Chaoge to ask Zhao Wuxian for help, and similarly, he also took out Nanyan as a bargaining chip, saying that if the Zhao family can help Han attack Zheng, no matter what the result is, Nanyan will give it to the Zhao family!
β¦β¦
"If the Han clan is frustrated in this attack on Zheng, or if they return in vain because the ruling government covets the land of Nanyan County, the next army will definitely resent the Zhao clan, and Duan Gui will also lose confidence, and in the future, Han may develop in a low-key manner and restore his vitality, although it cannot be expanded, it is even more difficult to obtain. But if the other generation takes Cheng Gao, they can go on according to Shangqing's plan, in order to keep Cheng Gao, in order to wrestle with the Zheng people, the Han family will exhaust their labor and food, and drag down Zheng Guo by the way! Send troops, the ruling party can also sell the Han family's favor, and if something happens in the future, the Han family will stand on the side of the Zhao family instead of the Wei family. β
Ren Zhang is good at sorting out the relationship between different events, and under his analysis, Zhao Wuxian made up his mind and agreed to send troops to pull the Han clan.
He said to Han Hu solemnly: "The Han clan's attack on Zheng has violated the alliance of the three families of Tongba, and the Zhao clan can completely stand by and watch like the Wei clan, thinking about the friendship with Ziyin, and help the Han clan again, I will send a division to support the Chenggao Han army......"
"First teacher, hate less, hate less! The Zhao clan attacked Qi, and the Han clan sent out a whole army! Han Hu couldn't wait for the Zhao clan to pull all the soldiers and cavalry up and annihilate the main force of Zheng Guo, so that he could snatch the territory he fancied.
"Broken into Gao, one division is enough! Moreover, this battle is only allowed to go to the Han clan to take Chenggao, and immediately stick to the truce after taking the city, and must not be greedy to advance and stimulate the enemy again! β
Han Hu was helpless, in order to let Duan Gui capture Chenggao earlier, he launched an offensive in the east to attract the main force of Zheng Guoren. This attack went quite smoothly, approaching the area of Zheng Guo's Liang, he planned to join the Song people there, but unfortunately no matter how well he fought in the east, he couldn't hold these enclaves, and it wasn't cheap Zhao's, and now he could only eat Cheng Gao......
"Everything is up to Zitai." The ambition that was ignited by Duan Gui's conspiracy a few months ago has now turned into bitter bitter water, and the war is really difficult to fight, especially when the Han clan is fighting alone.
Han Hu can be regarded as learning a lesson now, and when he formulates a strategy and war in the future, he will not be so bold and want to break away from the Zhao clan and go it alone. Because he found that with his own strength, if he wanted to do something big, he couldn't do without the support of the Zhao family, this was the case during the civil war, the Houma Alliance, and the same now, he tried his best to go around in a big circle, and returned to the starting point where he needed Zhao's support, Han Hu's self-esteem and self-confidence were very hurt......
Zhao Wuxian was actually tired of coping, as soon as Han Hu left on the front foot, Sun Sheng, the king of the back foot, came to fight again......
β¦β¦
Gritting his teeth, Sun Sun, the king of Chu, walked from outside the palace with a calm and unhurried pace, he didn't even take off his skin this time, and the cowhide base stepped on the wooden floor, making a heavy sound, revealing the current mood of the audience. The pursed lips, the constricted brows, and the anger on his face made the Yulin guards on duty in the hall can't help but clench their swords between their eyebrows.
He heard that Wang Sunsheng's swordsmanship was dedicated to enlightenment, Sun Wuzi pointed out, he was a leader in Wu State, and he was also very good at empty-handed fighting, if he had any disrespect for Shangqing, could he take him? Killing him, killing this nephew of Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, is it considered revenge for his father's cadre?
Following the gaze between his eyebrows, Wang Sunsheng walked to a position twenty steps away from the main seat, which was the distance that ordinary ministers would meet.
"Wang Sun is exempt, ten steps forward."
As for the ten steps, they are the guests and important ministers.
He was not happy about this, and arched his hand: "Please allow me to be the vanguard and crusade against Zheng Guo!" β
This is the third time that Wang Sunsheng has asked Zhao Wuxian to attack Zheng.
Five years ago, on the banks of Wenshui, Wang Sunsheng, who wrapped his body under a coat, witnessed the whole process of the Zhao clan's defeat of the Qi army, galloping cavalry, strict phalanx, and machinery spitting out death flying stones, and since then, he has been shocked by the powerful Zhao army. Sun Wuzi thinks that the world is hegemonic, Wu Chu in the south, Zhao Qi in the north, and the king of Wu in the south can't tolerate him because he is the king of Chu, so he can only find another job. Qi has declined, Zhao's career is rising, and after Wang Sunsheng came to defect, he was very eager to do something big.
When he first came, he found that the Zhao family's promotion system was very fair, "the fierce general must start from the army, and the slaughter must be sent to the state department" This is not an empty sentence. Several of the top generals of the Zhao family, such as Mu Xia and Yu Xi, were all promoted from Yu and Mu, while Yang Hu, Zhang Mengtan, Zai Yu, etc., were either retainers or scholars, and their backgrounds were not high. From top to bottom, except for the dignified Zhao Qing, Zhao's regime exudes the flavor of the power of scholars and military achievements of small landlords, rather than the traditional feudal aristocracy.
For Wang Sunsheng, who was born in a noble family but was forced into exile, he not only looked down on most of the retainers of the Zhao family, but also hoped that he could also make a contribution, prove himself to the world, and then surpass everyone else, proving that the noble blood is still an important capital in the world.
However, in the whole four years, there is enough for a capable little official to slowly climb from the pavilion to the county, what was Wang Sunsheng's position back then, and what is his position now.
Zhao Wuxian respected him like a guest, but did not give him a fixed position, but only gave a few seemingly important assignments from time to time, but in fact they were just errands. Zhao Wuxian treated him kindly, but never told him about the confidential core matters, Wang Sunsheng felt like a sword that was inserted into the sheath although it was sharp, and was deliberately hidden by Zhao Shangqing.
He was also sad and incomprehensible, and wanted to leave in a rage, but where could he go after leaving? Chu State can't go back, Wu State can't tolerate him, go to Qi State to be a guest of the Bao family? Think about it, Qin State? Qin was now an ally with Zheng Guo, and Zheng Guo was his father's enemy.
The noble prince is wandering, but nowhere is a harbor that can contain him, when the Duke of Jin Wen was in the mood of Bai Di, Qi, Chu, Qin and Song; Luan Ying was burdened with the humiliation of betrayal and injustice, hiding in Qi Jiang's state of mind in the wedding car; After his father, Prince Jian, ran away from Chu State, he went crazy and wanted to make a move in the city of Zheng State to gain a piece of territory for himself; Stepfather Wu Zixu hovered outside Zhaoguan with him in his arms, and his black hair suddenly changed into a state of mind full of silver hair......
He felt it all!
Longing to go home, longing for revenge, longing to get ahead but not getting results, pain is like termites gnawing at his heart and liver. This is the last time Wang Sunsheng has made a request, if it doesn't work, he plans to go to the Han clan or the Song State in a rage, but whoever can take him to attack the Zheng State will do it!
Zhao Wuxian stopped the review in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Wang Sunsheng, who was the same age as himself, his eyes were long and deep.
"Even if Shangqing doesn't plan to destroy Zheng Guo, give me a division, no, only three or five hundred people are needed to let the ministers attack Zheng Guo! This is my only plea! β
The man has gold under his knees, not to mention the nobles of Wang Sun, even if he was expelled from his mother country and wandered here, Wang Sunsheng usually maintained his aristocratic style, arrogant, indifferent, and eccentric.
But now, he knelt on the ground for a long time, and nodded heavily at Zhao Wuxian, and when he raised his head, Zhao Wuxian could see it clearly, under the bleeding forehead, Wang Sunsheng's eyes flashed with a raging fire called revenge and ambition......
Wolf ambition......
He can't be wrong when he looks at people, Wang Sunsheng is very sharp, talented, far-sighted, and martial, which can be called outstanding. But this is also a sword he doesn't really want to use, this person's ambition is too big, and the princely ambition hidden under the "revenge", Zhao Wuxian can't satisfy him, maybe one day, this sword will jump up by itself and aim the blade at Zhao.
For those who he is not sure to control and retain, Zhao Wuxian has always been suspicious.
But what if it's just for use? Wouldn't it be too wasteful to have such a good chess piece that could be put into the State of Chu and even the State of Wu all the time idle?
He smiled: "Why be so polite, Wang Sun, take three steps closer and give a seat." β
Wang Sunsheng looked at Zhao Wuxian in surprise, and hurriedly got up and walked a few steps forward, the distance of three steps, changed to usual, this is a position only that Shangqing's henchmen have!
He would not be naΓ―ve enough to think that he had finally been recognized, but in his heart, a wave of hope suddenly arose.
"I haven't used you all the time, in order to sharpen you and exercise your mind, just like jade can't be carved and can't be made, and if the sword is not sharpened, there is no edge. Now that the jade sword has been formed, it can go out of the mountains. After all, a sharp awl, which is impossible to hide in a pocket, will come to the fore sooner or later! Zhao Wuxian said meaningfully. (To be continued.) )
