Chapter 68 The Alliance of the Two Princes

In front of the reinforcements, Ji Chao finally made a decision, suddenly looked at Ji Gen, who was supported by two personal guards, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what the Duke of Eastern Zhou plans to do at this time?" ā€

Ji Gen said weakly: "What else can I plan, keep my promise to hand over the loser to the Son of Heaven, and then go home." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Ji Chao said coldly: "Losing so many soldiers, the most important thing is to plant such a big heel, and the Duke of Eastern Zhou just endured it?" ā€

"What if you can't bear it?" Ji Gen stood up straight, put one hand on the shoulder of a guard, and said in a low voice: "Just now, it was because I didn't want to accept the fact that I lost a thousand foot soldiers, so I thought about fighting again to get back, but the result was good, and I lost another 800 cavalry. Bengong is not willing to make more senseless sacrifices now. ā€

"Duke of Dongzhou, please take a step to speak." Ji Chao looked at the soldiers around him and said to Ji Gen.

Ji Gen groaned slightly: "Then let's get to Bengong's carriage!" After speaking, he motioned to the two guards around him to help him into the carriage on the side, and asked a few guards to stay by the carriage to prevent others from approaching.

Ji Chao followed closely and went inside.

After the two sat down, Ji Chao said slowly: "My father has a law. ā€

"Oh?" Ji Gen felt strange, how could this Western Zhou Gong, who had always been rude and scheming, be abnormal today?

Ji Chao's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Although we have lost more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, there are nearly 10,000 remaining reinforcements, but the Son of Heaven only has 1,000 forbidden troops, even if his cavalry is powerful, if we take all the troops to rush over together, does the Duke of Eastern Zhou think he still has a chance?" ā€

Ji Gen suddenly chuckled in his heart, and said with a gloomy face: "Take the army straight to the Son of Heaven, what is this?" This is a rebellion! Although it is said that now the two principalities of the Eastern and Western Zhou have become independent and are no longer subordinate to the Zhou family, but after all, the Son of Heaven is still nominally the co-lord of the world, and naturally he is also the suzerain of our two small countries, if he really commits the next crime, even if he can really succeed, he will definitely provide the best excuse for the other vassal states, when the time comes, not to mention the powerful Qin, Qi, Chu and Zhao, these countries, even if the South Korea around him, can wipe out us with a little finger, do you think this is really a wise approach? ā€

Ji Chao said fiercely: "The reason why this father wants to do this is not for anything else, but for a bad breath." Dong Zhou Gong, how many times has this kid deceived us recently? First of all, under the pretext that the Qin army was attacking, he deceived us of 180,000 grains and 14,000 reinforcements; then deceived so many of our reinforcements with a hot pot and worked hard for him for a month; Today, he deceived us into confronting him with ten altars of outsiders, and during the contest, he used all kinds of tricks to deceive more than 2,000 troops from us. ā€

"Is this kind of behavior the right thing for a world suzerain? This is clearly the act of a treacherous marketman. Since he doesn't do the things of the Son of Heaven, we naturally don't have to abide by the courtier's courtesy! ā€

Ji Chao's words deeply hit Ji Gen's heart. Yes, in the past month, this kid has indeed deceived himself too many times, causing huge substantial losses to himself, not to mention, if he is calculated by a child like this and then goes back in disgrace, won't he be laughed at by the world? Where does this make Bengong's face go? Thinking of this, a raging flame gradually rose in his eyes: "The Duke of Western Zhou is really serious?" ā€

"Of course!" Ji Chao's words are categorical.

Hearing that Ji Chao was indeed not joking, Ji Gen calmed down instead: "Why did the Duke of Western Zhou suddenly have such thoughts? ā€

Ji Chao looked at Ji Gen silently, and said for a long time: "Can the Eastern Zhou Gong know that the Zhou room has already had an undercurrent?" ā€

"I've heard of it, it seems that Taiwei Yang Han is quite disobedient!" Himegen nodded.

"It seems that the Duke of Dong Zhou really doesn't know!" Ji Chao sneered: "What is Yang Han, he is just a pawn of others!" ā€

Ji Gen said movingly: "Is there someone else?" ā€

"Of course, this person is no stranger to Dongzhou Gong."

"Who?"

"Ji Jing, Si Kou Ji Jing, the eldest brother of the first king, the king of today's son"

"It's him!" Ji Gen nodded suddenly: "Then it's not surprising, only he is qualified to sit on the throne of the Son of Heaven, and many people supported him long before the first king ascended the throne." ā€

Ji Chao nodded and said: "Long before today's son ascended the throne, Ji Jing sent someone to contact Bengong, hoping that Bengong could help him when he started. ā€

"Ji Jing is looking for you?" Himegen was surprised.

"Dong Zhou Gong thinks it's strange?" Ji Chao smiled: "You must be thinking, compared to strength, compared to ability, my father is a lot worse than you, why did Ji Jing find my father instead of you?" ā€

Ji Gen nodded silently, acknowledging this statement.

"Actually, Ji Jing also thought about looking for you, but he was very scruples about you." Ji Chao lowered his voice and said, "Back then, you were able to go out independently and establish the Principality of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, who knows if you still covet the position of the Son of Heaven?" Of course, Ji Jing was reluctant to find a potential opponent as a backup. ā€

"The position of the Son of Heaven, hum!" Ji Gen scoffed, shook his head and said, "It sounds good, but how many people take it seriously?" Look at the current Zhou room, there is a shortage of soldiers and major generals, no money and no food, what a bag the Son of Heaven deserves! How can we do this, a prince of the country can be at ease? ā€

"My father also told Ji Jing about this, saying that the Duke of Eastern Zhou would not want to be the Son of Heaven, but he was not at ease, who told you that the Duke of Eastern Zhou would have more generals?"

"What kind of soldiers are so wide?" Ji Gen shook his head and said: "This prince is only thirty or forty thousand soldiers, and the chariot is less than three hundred times, so that vassal state does not exceed this prince?" ā€

"But for Zhou Mu, this is already a huge force that they can't fight."

"That's right!"

"That's why Ji Jing didn't dare to look for you! But now it's different, this young man seems to have some means, and over time, maybe it will really become the climate, and at that time, who knows if he will think about taking back our two principalities? Ji Chao's face gradually became gloomy as he spoke: "Since he dares to play tricks on us, it is better to solve this trouble now!" At that time, we will support Ji Jing as the Son of Heaven together, and the other vassal states will have no excuse to trouble us. ā€

Ji Gen narrowed his eyes and groaned, judging from the last few things, this young son of heaven is indeed not as mediocre and cowardly as he imagined, it is very tricky, if he waits until he is strong in a few years, maybe he will really take back his principality. If he takes it down today, with tens of thousands of troops in his hands, who else in Luoyang would dare to ride on the head of Bengong? At that time, let me not let you Ji Jinglaoer be the Son of Heaven, but it depends on the mood of my father, maybe my father was impulsive, and he became the Son of Heaven.

"Okay, I'm done!" Himegen stretched out a palm after speaking.

Ji Chao also stretched out a palm and slapped it, and with a "snap", the two high-fived and swore an oath and reached a covenant to win today's son together.

Ji Gen got out of the car and said in a loud voice: "Jiang Fan! ā€

"The end will be." Jiang Fan hurriedly came to him.

"Gather your troops and get ready for battle!"

Jiang Fan looked at Ji Gen in surprise, hesitated for a moment before arching his hand: "No!" After speaking, he came to the front of the team and shouted: "Blow the trumpet and beat the drum!" All assembled! ā€
