Chapter 238: Failed to Do So

Zhou Tianzi's cold attitude made the already small nature of the Eastern Zhou Duke disappear completely in an instant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I saw him shake his head quietly, and then showed a lonely face: "The old minister retired-"

As soon as the words fell, Duke Zhou left slowly in frustration.

For him, this Wu Gong's court meeting may be a meeting of the Zhou family. Even if you use each other, the result will be good.

It's just that King Zhou Xian is there-

"Why didn't my father agree to meet Duke Wu, but Yu'er heard that Duke Wu was quite loved by the people under his rule-" Ji Yu, who had been sullen and didn't eat, frowned at this time and said eagerly.

"No, no one will see the widows, no one will see the princes of the nations, no one will see the widows-" King Zhou Xian roared suddenly.

The one that cracked apart was like a roaring beast. There was a deep look of resentment and horror in his eyes.

was yelled at by him, and Ji Yu suddenly lowered his head again. The whole person was in a trance and didn't say a word.

……

Outside the city, a carriage and horse slowly drove into the camp of Wu Guo.

In front of the gate, the carriage and horses were intercepted by the guards. The coachman directly took out a token, bowed down and handed it over, "Trouble this sergeant, give this thing to Wu Gong." When Gong Wu saw it, he naturally understood the meaning-"

He said lightly, but the expression on his face couldn't help but feel a little regretful. The Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty didn't know if he was faceless or unwilling to see each other again. After all, he didn't come in person.

Not long after, Wu Ming walked out accompanied by Zhang Meng. Seeing that it was only the coachman, Wu Ming asked suspiciously, "Is your father-in-law here?" ”

"Back to the king," said the coachman with an apologetic face, "Your Majesty's will, I will not see anyone today, not even my lord." Therefore, the lord asked the little one to convey it to the king, and hoped that Wu Gong would abide by the agreement. ”

Co-authored his own thing was replaced by the Eastern Zhou Bus? Wu Ming's brows couldn't help frowning, but he immediately shook his head helplessly. The Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is not like the kind of person who speaks and does not do things. So after thinking quietly, he handed the token back.

"In any case, please wait for my father, thank you for the Eastern Zhou Gong-"

"No-" The coachman replied quietly, and then said goodbye: "If the king has nothing else to do, the villain will go back first-"

Wait for the coachman to go away.

Wu Ming turned to Zhang Meng and said, "Bring the things you have prepared and continue to find the Duke of Western Zhou-"

Hearing this, Zhang Meng hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything. He turned around and entered the tent, holding the box that had been prepared in his arms.

The two also bid for the mansion of the Duke of Western Zhou.

But the result was that even the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty did not see it.

"In the end, the Son of Heaven, the two Zhou Dukes are so arrogant-" Looking at the high gate that had been invaded by countless storms and left deep traces of wind and rain, a sneer hung on the corner of Wu Ming's mouth.

"Let's go—let's go back—"

After returning to the road, Wu Ming gave an order in front of him, and the 30,000 army directly attacked the city. But he finally held back. You can't do that yet, it's not time to do it. But did the king do it too much this week, is his face so worthless? I came to tell you something kindly, but I didn't let you in.

If he is really impulsive now, what awaits him is definitely the crushing of the heroes.

The clenched Shuangquan made a gurgling sound, telling Wu Ming's inner anger in a different context.

Time is ticking.

After a while, there was a cry of pigeons. Wu Ming woke up suddenly when he heard the sound, and hurriedly turned around and went out.

A few moments later, a white dove flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder.

Behind him, he took off the small piece of cloth on the white pigeon's leg and unfolded it, with four small words written on it: "Qi envoy to the court".

Qi Guo, finally can't sit still?

The next moment, he looked at Zhang Meng, who was standing aside, and said softly: "Order, raise troops and return to Liang-"

"No-" There are still no superfluous words, and sometimes Zhang Meng is actually not a qualified lieutenant.

Because he always does things so directly, Wu Ming does what he says, and never says much.

At the sound of the order, the army of 30,000 assembled in a short half hour, and at the same time brought with them everything that should be taken with them.

This trip can be described as a trip to the delight and a disappointment. Wu Ming was gritting his teeth all the way. He secretly swore that when Wu survived the current two years, it would be better not to have the surname Zhou in that fief of King Zhou. If you don't look ugly, I'm sorry that King Zhou treated me so politely today.

……

It was also on this day that in Xiao'an, a border city in the north of the Qi State, Zhao Suhou and Yan Wengong held a secret alliance after the 80,000 troops of the two allied forces.

"This time the Wei family has such an accident, Yan Gong should pay more attention-" With a smile, Zhao Suhou is nearly fifty years old, but his body is still so tough.

Hearing this, Yan Wengong only smiled slightly, and replied lightly: "Xie Zhaohou reminds that Zhao Guo and Wu Di live next to each other, so you should be more careful." ”

A gust of wind floats with a hint of floral fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.

Zhao Suhou, who was in a good mood, only let out a long laugh, and then said lightly: "Duke Xie Yan, it's just that Wu Guo destroyed the Wei family, which is a wrongful move, and the situation in the world has changed because of this." The Qin people took Hexi to capture Hangu. Now all the countries are looking at the Qi country, but the Duke of Qin has seven hundred miles of land alone. ”

"What does Zhao Hou mean by this?" Yan Wengong frowned, this question also has a deep meaning.

"I, Zhao and Wu, live next to each other, Wu Gong is the former general of the Wei family, and this person has some grievances with my Zhao State. Now destroying Wei is even more unjust. At this point, Zhao Suhou stroked his long beard lightly and sighed lightly, "Aside from grievances, which one of the countries today is missing a good word?" You and I fought together with the Chu State, but at this time, the Chu army did not move, so that now you and I have been defeated and retreated. ”

After a slight pause, Zhao Suhou changed his words violently and said seriously: "According to Ben Hou's opinion, you and I might as well send troops to the Wu State, the current division is famous, and the Qin State has already taken a big advantage, on the other hand, you and I will attack the two countries for a month, and the losses will not be few, but what is the result?"

Qin is the country of tigers and wolves, and now occupies Hexi and Hangu, which can be described as a country of four stops, which can be attacked and defended. If all the fat meat of Wu Guo falls into the mouth of Qin, the world will be in turmoil, but it is really not something you and I can figure out. ”

The words were like thunder, and at that moment, Yan Wengong's face became solemn, but he didn't rush to answer,

"If Duke Yan is willing to send troops, how about my Zhao Kingdom willing to give half of the grain and grass?" Zhao Suhou said proudly, and it was immediately a tempting reassurance.

But Yan Gong was still hesitating.

"The matter of grain and grass is fine, but this Wu country is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is remote from Yan country, so I'm afraid it will be unsustainable——"

This remark is nothing more than saying that there is no border between the state of Wu and the state of Yan. The Yan State is weak, and it is difficult to maintain a piece of land across the border from a long distance.

But after hearing this, Zhao Suhou smiled faintly: "After the defeat of Wu, Zhao Guo is willing to help Yan Guo recover Zhongshan, what does Yan Gong think?" ”
