Chapter 36: Fighting for the Son of Heaven (4)
The wolf pack is a product of high socialization, with a clear internal division of labor and a strict status hierarchy, and with a roar of Fang Cai, the wolves have to disperse the field for the use of the white wolf king.
Meng said and thought, 'Is this going to be alone with me?' This beast is quite righteous, 'In this case, there is no need to use this sword,' said as he plunged the sword into the ground.
A strong man and a white wolf, between each other, have not yet moved, and their eyes are already full of gunpowder. This white wolf king, who has only ascended to today's position after a long battle, is naturally not a general, and he is fighting at home, so he is naturally high-spirited and unstoppable.
This strong man was naturally unwilling, so he made a dinner for a pack of wolves, there are still a lot of things to be done in the world, how can he easily lose his life, naturally he has a twenty-point mental skillful response.
I saw this one man. A wolf, looking at each other, turning their bodies back and forth, looking for the best time to attack each other, the white wolf king bared his snow-white front teeth, lay his body on the ground, waiting for the opportunity to attack, so holding each other, naturally not a way, Meng said that he quickly sold a flaw, turned around and wanted to run.
The white wolf looked, the opportunity could not be lost, jumped up, pounced, Meng said to hear the wind behind his ears, knowing that the white wolf king, has been fooled, and did not turn around, just bent his waist, the white wolf king crossed over the top of his head, said that it was too late, that is fast, Meng said that both hands held the white wolf king's two hind legs, grabbed it tightly, pulled it back, borrowed strength, lifted the white wolf king high, fell heavily to the ground, and screamed.
Meng said that he was not willing to let go of such an opportunity, lifted the white wolf back and forth, and then slammed it on the ground, and so on and so on several times, only to see that the white wolf king's breath was dying, and the wolf's life was in danger.
The wild wolves around them showed a look of fear, and one by one they shrank their bodies, withdrew their tails, turned around and showed their bellies, and lay on the ground, crying incessantly.
The wolves stopped attacking, one by one like frosted eggplants, Meng said that when he saw the white wolf king's confused eyes, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and said:
"I originally wanted to stab you to death with a sword, but seeing you, so righteous, I can't bear to kill you, you hurry up and take your men and leave."
The White Wolf King struggled to get up, raised his head high, and howled at the last remnant sun in the setting sun. The wolves retreated, and the white wolf king glanced at Meng Shuo, and Meng Shuo said:
"Let's go! Let's go! ”
The great grace is not grateful, the grace of not killing today, it is natural to be the protector, and I will not mention it later, but tell today's story.
When everyone saw the wolves disperse, they were naturally overjoyed, and the leading guard asked Meng:
"Why don't you kill this white wolf king, just this skin alone is enough for hundreds of taels of gold? Strange goods! ”
"Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, all beings are equal, since they have retreated, why bother to kill them all." Meng said that while patting the dirt on his body, he communicated with the leading guards.
"Since everyone is fine, we can't stay here for a long time, let's hurry up, before the city gate is closed, we must rush to Xizhou." Qu Ling packed his bags and patted his horse and said.
"Yes! Miss is right, since everyone is fine, it is important to hurry. Meng said that he flew on his horse, pulled the reins of the horse, and looked back at the direction of the White Wolf King's retreat, the White Wolf King staggered at the beginning, and after a few steps, he regained his former majesty, ran in the head, and led the wolves to retreat.
"A good brute, it's a hard life!" Meng said muttered in his heart, turned around, and beckoned everyone to go on the road.
The fright of Fang Cai has passed, and these horses can't wait for a long time, and they can't wait to leave here in a blink of an eye, so they throw off their hooves one by one, run wildly for their lives, and the group is gone.
The White Wolf King stood on top of the mountain, keeping an eye on this group of people who traveled far away.
Thanks to the short distance, coupled with the strength of the horses, finally before the city gate was closed, they came to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and rested at the post station.
Early the next morning, Meng Shuo sent someone into the palace, saying that he wanted to see the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The Son of Heaven of the Western Zhou Dynasty was planning with Zhang Yi to attack the Eastern Zhou Dynasty next, and suddenly the female official came to report, saying that the Son of Heaven of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had sent someone to ask for a meeting.
For a while, he looked cramped, and the elderly Xi Zhoujun opened his mouth to ask Zhang Yi's opinion and said:
"Zhang Yi, you said that this Eastern Zhou came at this time, what is the so-called matter?"
"From Weichen's point of view, isn't the news of our alliance with Han Chu leaked out? This Eastern Zhou knows that it is not an opponent who came to sue for peace? Zhang Yi has always been full of confidence in his own plans, this plan to unite Han Chu was handled by him, Han and Chu naturally have their own calculations, and this battle together is naturally ten thousand taels of gold. In order to unite Korea and Chu this time, the Western Zhou Dynasty had spent a lot of gold and silver.
'Lianheng' strategy, mostly to open the way with money, Zhang Yi has been in Qin for many years, naturally is a generous shot, this Western Zhou projectile land, although it was once the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, but how to help, the years go by, sit and eat at the end of the mountain empty moment, this time the amount of gold and silver antiques has already made the Western Zhou Dynasty Tianzi heartache.
I thought that after the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was defeated, I would take the treasury of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty as my own, but today I suddenly heard that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty sent someone to come, and I was naturally unhappy with the boss. Hearing Zhang Yi say this again, my heart was even more awkward.
The words were born from the heart, I was really annoyed, Zhang Yi asked, and Zhou Tianzi blurted out:
"Nope! Missing! Let them go back and wait for the war to begin! ”
"No! By all means, today the Eastern Zhou took the initiative to send people to the door, not necessarily to seek peace, we might as well see what they have to say first, and it is not too late to make a decision. Zhang Yi warned on the side.
The elderly Western Zhou Jun thought for a moment and said:
"Since that's the case, let's do it according to Zhang Yi's decision", Zhou Tianzi instructed, and the court lady hurriedly went back to reply.
After a while, Qu Ling Meng said that when he came to the top of the main hall, Qu Ling. Meng Shuo bowed and said:
"The special envoy of the Son of Heaven of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty came to meet the Jun of the Western Zhou Dynasty, wishing that the two countries would be peaceful for generations and resonate with the legacy of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Your Excellency! Arise, and a seat will come." The elderly Zhou Jun said.
Since the two of them came in, Zhang Yi has been looking at these two people constantly, but when she saw the person in front of her, her face was delicate, her body was smart, and her gestures were indescribably charming and enchanting, it seemed that this was a woman dressed as a man, and she must be a female son-in-law. Why did the Eastern Zhou Dynasty send a female son-in-law here? In Zhang Yi's heart, there was a sudden lot of suspicions. Besides, the person behind him is tall and mighty, with a strong body, looking at the size and strength, he is no worse than King Yingdang of Qin Wu, and his face is also handsome, and he can't help but sigh in his heart, "What a handsome man, if King Yingdang of Qin Wu sees it, he will naturally be overjoyed."
After the two of them finished their salutes, they sat aside.
"Why did your envoy come?" Zhang Yi opened his mouth to ask, the details of this question, naturally there is no need for a leader to go out in person.
"Enlighten the Son of Heaven! I came by order to congratulate the Western Zhou Jun? Qu Ling spoke, his words filled with incomparable excitement and joy.
Don't look at the number one person who doesn't ask in person, this time you have to be skillful and prepared, and what you say will naturally be said to the top leader, so that you can appear sincere and have a low profile, and things will be easier to do.
"Oh! I don't know where the joy you say comes from? Zhou Tianzi asked suspiciously. glanced at Zhang Yi by the way, Zhang Yi was confused all of a sudden, where did this joy come from? The two families have already met each other, and then they talk about happiness, why does it seem so funny.
In any case, he was just a passer-by of the Western Zhou Dynasty, so naturally he couldn't interfere too much, and it was not convenient for the Western Zhou Jun to ask like that.
"Does the Son of Heaven know what it means to 'steadily operate the left coupon'?" As soon as Qu Ling opened his mouth, Zhang Yi was surprised, thinking that whose disciple this was, he was so skillful in using the method of smashing and shutting down. For the old and frail Zhou Jun, the straightforward Q&A is far better than listing countless previous dynasties and experiences, and it is much better to review the glorious history of friendship with each other, mutual support, and mutual progress.
"The contract is divided into two parts, the left and right, and each party holds a copy, and this left coupon is the left link, which is a certificate used to make a claim! Why do you ask this? The elderly Xi Zhoujun asked. It can be seen that all his energy has been mobilized by Qu Ling, and he has completely focused on Qu Ling's problem.
"Qi Qi Tianzi, this Luo water flows eastward, from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, today the Eastern Zhou Dynasty wants to plant rice, if you don't release water, they will plant wheat instead, I heard that the Guanzhong Plain of the Qin State is full of wheat, and wheat does not need too much water to feed. Besides, the yield of wheat is not worse than that of rice. Besides, wheat is easier to manage than rice.
I think that if the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did not plant rice, but chose to plant wheat, within a few years, it would accumulate huge wealth, and when the time came, the Western Zhou would have no way to deal with him.
If the Western Zhou released water to the Eastern Zhou, the Eastern Zhou would mobilize manpower to plant rice, which would definitely be time-consuming. Laborious, naturally there is no time to grow wheat.
When the rice is planted, it still needs water to irrigate, and when the time comes, it is natural to have to ask for the Western Zhou.
This crooked Luoshui is like the left coupon in the hands of the Son of Heaven, when you want to release the water, when you want to stop the water, when to stop the water, it is completely in accordance with your mind, this contract will come when you want to take it, and naturally no one will dare to argue with you.
The people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will be in awe of the king, and they will definitely sacrifice their lives for their own rice! When the time comes, you don't have to exert a little effort, you don't need to send a slave, the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty will send their hard-earned rice to your palace in baskets for you to enjoy.
Even the Son of Heaven of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is helpless?
I don't understand why the Son of Heaven chose to attack the Eastern Zhou Dynasty if he put such favorable conditions and didn't take advantage of them? What about such a strategy?
The war is together, the people are labored and the money is lost, and if the princes take advantage of their disadvantages. How will the Son of Heaven respond? Qu Ling spoke eloquently.
"Wonderful! Subtle! It's really rare to have such a penetrating analysis! What a rarity! Zhang Yi was full of praise, and glanced at Xi Zhoujun by the way.
Xi Zhoujun felt awkward in his heart, and thought to himself, 'Okay, Zhang Yi, thanks to the people of the world saying that you are 'the enemy from all over the world', why didn't you give such a good idea to the widow at the beginning, but now the money has been spent, the gift has been given, and the treaty has been signed, you turn around and say that he said it well, what do you mean?" ’
Although this Western Zhou Jun is old, he is worthy of being an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for a long time, and his joy and anger are invisible, and he has long been perfect. casually said:
"Your Excellency! Makes sense! The widow is old, and he doesn't want the widow to be a little tired today, so let's get here today, and we'll discuss it tomorrow. ”
As soon as Qu Ling saw this formation, it was naturally difficult to continue urging, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:
"In that case, the Son of Heaven takes care of the dragon's body, and we will retire." Bowing and saluting, Meng Shuo followed closely and exited the main hall.
Zhang Yi couldn't stop thinking in her heart, whose high-ranking disciples were so powerful.
