Chapter 191: Arrogance
The sound instantly startled Wei Chenggong, who had just fallen asleep. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Huh?" He got up in a daze, but he almost fell off the rocking chair, but fortunately, the palace maids on both sides were conscientious, which avoided embarrassment.
"You dog minion, what big can happen!" The moment he stabilized his body, Wei Chenggong scolded angrily.
This sentence overwhelmed the eunuchs not far away. The whole person is anxious and embarrassed. I just feel that the whole person is not good.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on-" After calming down a little, Wei Chenggong got up, waved his arm impatiently, and sent the two palace maids behind him away.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong," the eunuch said cautiously, "The 50,000 troops of the Wei State have bypassed the border Pingyang and are now heading towards the Emperor Hill. β
The eunuch was already sweating profusely when he said it, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of the heat or nervousness, or because he was afraid of the Wei army.
50,000 troops, which is placed in other big countries, even South Korea, which doesn't want to cause trouble now, is afraid that it can't do whatever it wants, and it is also worried that it will be eaten by South Korea.
But this is Weiguo, a small country with less than 300 chariots.
These 50,000 troops are simply a deadly existence for the defense of the country, and it can be said that if there is no foreign aid, the 50,000 army can break through the emperor hill in three days at the earliest.
To put it simply, he can be destroyed in three days to defend the country.
This kind of matter of life and death, how can a eunuch not worry. It is even normal to be frightened by the eunuch.
"Fifty thousand troops? Have you also passed the border city of Pingyang? Wei Chenggong, who heard the news, was stunned for a moment. And then I didn't feel scared.
After thinking about it, he asked lightly: "Has the Wei army already broken through Pingyang, or has it bypassed Pingyang and directly entered the hinterland of our country?" β
"Your Excellency, the two thousand defenders of Pingyang did not fight with the Wei army, and the Wei army did not attack the city."
Hearing this, Wei Chenggong's two sober eyes rolled slightly.
After a while, Wei Chenggong said to himself with a straight face: "Fortunately, they are not stupid enough to start a war with the Wei State-"
When the eunuchs on the side heard this, they thought that this was the rhythm of Wei Chenggong to reconcile with the Wei State. When even suppressed his excitement and urged: "What the king said is yes, where is the Wei State that we can provoke." The king still got in touch with King Wei earlier and asked about the situation. If the king of Wei is angry about the alliance between the king and the state of Chu, the king can also shirk it to the ...... of Chu."
"Presumptuousβ"
The eunuch didn't finish his breath, but was interrupted by the angry Wei Chenggong, "You dog slave, what do you mean to be reconciled with the Wei State?" Blame the Chu people for things? The king of Chu has signed an alliance with the widows, and this matter should ask the state of Chu to send troops, and use the power of the state of Chu to completely get rid of the threat of the state of Wei. β
Wei Chenggong's words were very fierce. It is also a certainty, and there is no doubt about it.
"Your Majesty, it can't be like this. Even if the state of Chu is willing to send troops. But this thousand-mile journey, when the army of Chu arrives, I am afraid that Emperor Qiu will already be more auspicious......"
The gust of wind raised his sideburns, revealing the corners of Wei Chenggong's slightly withdrawn mouth.
"You ......" suddenly shouted, as if interrupting all the chaotic voices around him, "You dare to say that the widow is more than auspicious to defend the country?" β
This question frightened the eunuch into a daze, and while looking around in a panic, the eunuch fell to his knees at that moment, only kowtowed vigorously, and was so frightened that he could no longer speak.
"Someone," ignoring the eunuch's panic, Wei Chenggong immediately shouted again, "Pull this dog slave down and put him on death row." β
The guards on both sides may have been afraid of harming the pond fish. The moment he heard the order, he dragged the eunuch outside without the slightest delay.
"Your Majesty, old slave...... The old slave has no two hearts...... The old slave just wants the monarch to have a complete strategy, to stabilize the Wei State first, so as to gain time for the arrival of the army of the Chu State, the monarch ......"
Far away, the slow voice of complete panic drifted in the wind.
entered Wei Chenggong's ears, but it was only exchanged for a sentence of contempt, "Phew...... This thing doesn't know whether to live or die! β
After a word of abuse, Wei Chenggong walked towards the main palace.
By the time he arrived at the main palace, almost all the courtiers had already arrived, and he looked at Wei Chenggong who came unhurriedly in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the army of Wei is already less than ten miles outside the city, and the minister implores you to ask for help from Chu as soon as possible." The courtier who only knew how to eat and drink before, regardless of whether he angered the Wei State, was already full of anxiety at this moment.
Of the six old ministers, except for the one who had spoken out yesterday afternoon, the rest of the courtiers were all frightened.
One by one, they bowed their hands, with indescribable nervousness and fear: "I implore you to ask for help from Chu as soon as possible." β
One by one, the courtiers urged one after another.
By the time Wei Chenggong sat down on the throne, a courtier had already stood up, bowed down, and presented a sheepskin in his hand, "Your Excellency, the minister has prepared a request for help, please take a look." β
From the time I received the news of Wei's march to the present, it took only half an hour to complete the battle.
But in the past half an hour, the courtiers in the court have already done everything they can.
So far, none of them have not urged Wei Chenggong to hurry up. After all, Wei's 50,000-strong army was not so easy to deal with.
Duke Wei betrayed the Wei State, if it was really the Wei State that came to seek revenge, the 50,000 army, they couldn't resist at all.
"What are you waiting for......?"
The courtier, who was waiting, was about to set out and take the sheepskin from the courtier's hand. At this moment, Wei Chenggong, who was standing on the main seat, shouted violently.
This roar, for a moment, everything was silent.
The minister's body that had just leaned forward suddenly stopped, and his whole body trembled at that moment.
The courtiers who were arguing just now all closed their mouths at this moment, and one by one they only felt a chill behind them.
At this moment, only the courtier who had comforted Wei Chenggong yesterday still quietly lowered his head at this moment, his face was calm, and he did not have the slightest expression or words.
Time passed silently in this moment.
After a while, Wei Chenggong withdrew his gaze from the ministers and reprimanded sharply: "As my courtiers who defend the country, you are all noble. How could he be in a mess and be frightened by the 50,000 Wei army. β
The vicious voice instantly filled the entire hall.
For a while, there was silence. Even everyone's breathing seemed to stop for a moment.
With the covenant of the state of Chu. Wei Chenggong's wings are really hard, and they are a lot harder, too hard.
I just felt that for a long time, no one said anything.
Wei Chenggong calmed down his mind at this time, and said loudly: "Present Long Aiqing's simulacrum." β
"Yes." The minister, who had been waiting for a long time but did not dare to move at all, saluted gently, and then went with hurried steps to fetch the sheepskin from the courtier's hand.
After some looks, Wei Chenggong finally nodded slowly, and said loudly: "Long Aiqing's words are getting better and better. Just use this book like the king of Chu to ask for help. Since the things were proposed by Long Aiqing, then Lao Long Aiqing went to Chu and asked the king of Chu to send troops to help. β
"Minister, I respectfully obey the edict of the king, and we must invite reinforcements as soon as possible." The courtier couldn't help but say, and immediately answered.
At this time, in the face of the 50,000 troops of the Wei State, everyone knew that the emperor would not be able to defend for long, and the entire defense country would not be able to defend for long.
And putting the rescue on the alliance with the Chu State is really a big bet.
Actually, except for Wei Chenggong himself. None of the courtiers of the Wei State recognized the sincerity of the alliance of the Chu State.
At yesterday afternoon's banquet, the reason why no one recognized the sincerity of the alliance between Chu State and unanimously agreed to this matter. All they think about is to make Wei Gong happy, as for the rest, anyway, Wei Guo has almost no court affairs, and sometimes even if the ministers oppose it, Wei Chenggong will do the same.
If you know that the king will not do what he wants, why take the risk of touching that brow?
But today the situation is different.
The army of Wei is pressing, and since they know that it is not safe to defend the country at this time, these people are naturally scattered, and they have begun to make calculations in their own hearts.
"The whole country is ordered that from today onwards, it is necessary to strictly prevent the Wei army from sneaking attack, and once the Wei army attacks the city, it must be made sure that people are in the city, no one dies, and the city is not broken. Emperor Qiu, widow, all subjects of the country must be like this. β
That last sentence was almost squeezed out of his teeth. Whether he can get rid of the control of Wei is an opportunity, and it is a very rare opportunity for Wei Chenggong.
Since the opportunity is rare, it is natural to take advantage of it. It is precisely because of this that Wei Chenggong at this time seems so resolute.
After an order was issued, the ministers went out to deliver the military order, and naturally some soldiers went out of the city to deliver the news to the rest of the cities of the country.
But not long after the news was issued, a soldier hurried into the main hall.
In the middle of the palace, the soldier straightened the armor on his head in a panic, and said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, the latest news, the 50,000 troops of the Qi State have bypassed the wild king and are coming straight to the emperor from the northeast, and with their speed, they are only less than ten miles away from the emperor hill. β
If it was Wei Chenggong's 50,000 troops just now, he didn't pay much attention to it. Then this time, there were 50,000 more troops from the Qi State.
Hearing the news, the corners of Wei Chenggong's mouth suddenly twitched. It's really a disaster.
It's just that these two countries each sent 50,000 troops to arrive, for what? At present, except for the extremely mysterious and subtle organization through the Black Ice Platform, the monarchs of the rest of the countries do not know about the affairs of the Qi State and the Wei State.
As soon as this latest news came. The courtiers in the entire hall who had just breathed a sigh of relief turned black with all their faces.
Others are prepared for danger in times of peace. They are the complete opposite, Juvisian. It's not even just Si'an. Because they've done it well.
Of course, the current Wei and Qi armies have broken their stability again.
It's no better than a soldier who has suffered a certain amount and has undergone some training. The expressions of these people were much more ugly than the soldiers who had just come in to report the news.
Surprisingly, at this moment, none of them were talking about anything. There was not even a sound of thought in the whole hall.
Maybe this time they're just as tacit. They all know what they're up against. There is no intention to say more. The only way to pin your hopes on the state of Chu is to pin your hopes on you.
β¦β¦
Five miles outside the city north of Emperor Hill.
This is a plain with fertile water and grass. A small stream washed slowly over the plain, as if it were about to wash away everything that had been worn out to the sea in the distance.
Where the stream drifts farther away. On a meadow that has not been cultivated. Wei's army of 50,000 had slowly stopped.
The sun was already set in the western sky. The sun also looks a little reddish.
King Wei Hui, accompanied by several courtiers, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, walked towards the stream that was not very far away as if he were walking in his own grassland.
On the grass, the soldiers began to build the Wei king's line and military camp.
The other side.
Clear water washes over the pebbles on the shore. The sound of the rushing water makes the listeners feel refreshed.
In later generations, if there is such a stream in the yard of a family, it is a good choice to sit on the side and drink afternoon tea in the afternoon.
Come to think of it, some of the hobbies of human beings have not changed because of time.
King Wei Hui, who was standing next to the stream, was also full of joy at this time, and the smile on his face was inexplicably a little bigger.
At this moment, a horse on the other side of the stream galloped towards the wind.
Crossing the stream makes a splash. By the time the splash had cleared, the horse was already on the other side of the stream.
"Wechen greets you." Chen Zhen was full of exhaustion, but she ran over with a smile.
In terms of ability, maybe Chen Zhen doesn't have anything. But the aspect of pleasing the king, especially the smile on his face, is by no means tiresome.
As a result, at this time, King Wei Hui's mood rose even more: "Aiqing is going, it's hard." β
"Thank you for your kindness. The king of Qi was less than five miles away, and the ministers deliberately rushed back to Yu Mingjun. β
"Yes, yes! King Qi is also almost here. I think the widow and the king of Qi may not have seen each other for a long time-"
As if after some emotion, King Wei Hui turned to Wu Ming again: "Aiqing, this time the alliance can't be broken and lose face in front of King Qi, there will be Lao Aiqing." β
"Your Excellency can rest assured, the ministers will do their best." Facing King Wei Hui slightly, Wu Ming said solemnly.
At this time, he followed the gaze of King Wei Hui. The place where 50,000 Wei troops were encamped was already a chaotic and fiery scene.
A faint sonorous sound reached the ears of these people.
It took four days along the way. The king of Qi and Wei who has been passed down through the ages. The same era, but in different places at different times.
In it, there are also different characters.
Looking further north and south, the tower of the Emperor's Hill City with a clear outline was only a little hazy.
Wei Chenggong and the remaining five courtiers ascended the castle tower together.
Watch the construction work in full swing outside the city. Wei Chenggong's inner reassurance pill faintly failed.
