Chapter 364: Three Wooden Boxes [I]
"The king's big thing is not good, the Han barbarians have broken through the north gate, and now they are coming to the inner city," Xu Cheng ran into the palace in a panic. [Full text reading]
When King Chu Hui, who was originally standing, heard this, his eyes flashed with gold stars, and he sat on the ground with a thud, and asked in disbelief: "How is it possible that Bu Yin (the divine stick in charge of divination) didn't tell the widow that he could guard Zaiying?" And what about Zuo Yin (Zining)? Why couldn't Zuo Yin hold the city wall? ”
"The king Zuo Yin has been killed in battle, and now what the king has to do is to quickly stabilize the morale of the army and hold the inner city, otherwise we really have no possibility of turning over" Although Xu Cheng panicked, he had also experienced a lot of things, was experienced, and knew what to do now.
When King Chu Hui heard this, he felt that it made sense, and immediately said: "You quickly take the tiger talisman of the widow to the front line to stabilize the army's heart, and the widow will come later."
After saying that, King Chu Hui took off the tiger talisman from his waist and handed it to Xu Cheng. Xu Cheng hesitated, feeling that this matter might not be easy, but thinking of the nest, An has finished his eggs. Xu Cheng didn't care about the danger, nodded vigorously and said, "The minister will go."
It is said that the fate of King Chu Hui should not be extinguished, even if Xu Cheng gets the talisman, it is impossible to stop the Han army from breaking through the inner city, at most, it is just to keep the Han army outside the palace.
However, the Baipu coalition army helped the Chu State, although Yang Zilu had said before that the Baipu coalition army was not allowed to rob the people's property. But these Pu people are not Han soldiers, and after they entered Zaiying, a considerable number of people immediately became hot-headed and left Yang Zilu's previous orders behind.
After Yang Zilu entered the city, he was naturally furious when he saw this situation. Yang Zilu is not a ruin in what he wants, and he is not imitating the original Lu and destroying the people's hearts. Although the looters are all Pu people, but the people of Chu do not care whether you are Pu or Han, in their opinion, Pu people are almost the same as Han people.
Yang Zilu had to choose to let go of Chu State, otherwise he would have taken advantage of the situation to completely capture Zaiying. At that time, Zaiying was probably mostly ruined by those Pu people, and Yang Zilu immediately ordered the Han army to stop chasing and killing the Chu army, and instead rectify public order. No matter what kind of army, no matter how high his status, as long as he violated his military orders, he would be killed or arrested on the spot
As soon as Yang Zilu made a move, it was a thunderbolt-like measure, and he immediately suppressed the Baipu coalition army.
Although it is not surprising that he missed the opportunity for the Han army to take advantage of the situation to capture the inner city. But Yang Zilu didn't care, he wasn't afraid of attacking Ying, he was afraid that the Han army would arouse public anger like the original Wu army.
Especially in the state of Chu, because of the barbarian origin, although the people of Chu have integrated a lot of Chinese culture over the years, it is only the nobles who are completely Chinese, and there are still many Chu people at the bottom who maintain a kind of blood, which is why the slogan that although the three households of Chu can die in Qin, shout out. Otherwise, the country destroyed by the Qin State is not only the Chu State, why is the Chu State so bloody?
Why were the Chu people the first to revolt in the last years of the Qin Dynasty? Speaking of Guanzhongyuan, the political center of the Qin State, it is not only the Chu State, but also the Qi State, the Yan State and other places. Yang Zilu didn't want to even if he occupied the Chu State, after he died, or when there was a crisis in the Han State, the people of the Chu State would take the opportunity to come out and make trouble.
For this reason, after quelling the riots, Yang Zilu's first thing to do was not to appease the morale of the Baipu coalition army. Instead, he took the generals to comfort the looted Chu people, why explain that this was not the original intention of the Han army. and promised to rebuild their homes for them, to return to them the looted goods, and to behead the prisoners. Yang Zilu also personally brought condolences to the women who were defiled, and gave a certain amount of money, and even promised that as long as the prisoner was not killed, but was caught, she would be allowed to kill the prisoner herself.
This is not only that, Yang Zilu also went to appease the poor old people and poor people in the vicinity by the way, and gave some of his money to these people. In front of them, he ordered the soldiers to send some food to them.
Yang Zilu's series of appeasement actions also calmed down the aroused public anger, and even the people of Chu began to identify with Yang Zilu. Of course, Yang Zilu also did what he said, killing thousands of soldiers of the Baipu Coalition Army who participated in the looting.
Among those who participated in the rebellion were the sons and nephews of some of the chiefs of the great tribes, or the sons and nephews of the elders. In order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, Yang Zilu also added a charge of poor discipline to these people, and sent people to kill all these people. Of course, Yang Zilu is not blindly killing, but also in those positions where there is a power vacuum, wooing some people and putting them in these positions.
And these people Yang Zilu either choose not have enough ability, or choose not have enough power base to sit in a stable position, or even both. This also made those people have to rely on Yang Zilu to fight against the counterattack of other forces in the tribe.
Of course, although Yang Zilu did a good job, it was not that no one made trouble. During this period, a small tribe of 1,000 people wanted to make trouble, attacked the Han army camp and killed Yang Zilu.
It's just that how could Yang Zilu not be wary of the Baipu Coalition Army? Yang Zilu sent people from the platform early, and scouts paid close attention to the Baipu coalition army. Before the rebellion of this tribe began, it was discovered by Yang Zilu. As soon as Yang Zilu received the news, he immediately sent three hundred people to attack the camp where the tribe was stationed.
Although it was only three hundred, it was not Yang Zilu's negligence, but Yang Zilu used this number to tell the Baipu coalition army how powerful the combat effectiveness of the Han army was. Moreover, the three hundred people were all cavalry, and they were all carefully selected by Yang Zilu. Even if the number of people is at an absolute disadvantage, the situation is beyond the expectations of all the Baipu coalition forces. For the Puren tribe of the Han army, it can be said that they did not fight with the Han army, but were slaughtered one-sidedly. In just an hour, the three hundred Han soldiers had already killed the corpses of that small tribe, and only a dozen of the 1,000 people escaped.
The various tribes of the Baipu Alliance Army trembled, and their restless thoughts immediately calmed down. Through bloody means, Yang Zilu also initially established his own majesty in the Baipu Coalition Army, at least the Baipu Coalition Army now does not dare to disagree with Yang Zilu's orders. The bloody cleaning has already told everyone that the handsome Yang Zilu is even more ruthless than the hideous-looking person.
Although the Han army was rectifying, the Chu army did not dare to take the opportunity to attack. Scared of being killed, the 40,000 Chu army, those who were killed and those who surrendered, now there are only about 20,000 people left, and they have all lost their morale. The only thing that kept them from crumbling was probably the rather strong walls of the inner city. If it weren't for this wall, they would have fled through the other gates.
In this case, Xiong Zhang, the king of Chu Hui, felt that he had to do something, otherwise if he continued like this, it would only be a matter of time before Zai Ying was captured.
…… Zaiying Outer City ......
Although he had already invaded the outer city, Yang Zilu did not live in a luxurious mansion, but in a tent, a tent set up in the open space outside the city. The luxurious mansions of the doctors of the Chu State were used to house the wounded soldiers. And only houses close to the inner city were recruited.
The Chu people who lived in those houses were also willing to give up their houses and move to the places that the Han army had settled for them. The main thing is that it is too dangerous, this place has become a battlefield, and they will naturally leave long ago if they can go. In other places, Yang Zilu did not move, but let the soldiers live in tents, the soldiers were not without complaints, but Yang Zilu led by example, and they also talked about it.
Looking at Yang Zilu who lived in the tent, Qu Mu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, just by Yang Zilu's actions, he could see that he was different from He Lu. He Lu can be said to be a good general, but he is not a good monarch. From the moment he first attacked Yan Ying, his first order was to slaughter the city, and let the generals stay in the luxurious mansions of Yan Ying's doctors, it can already be seen that He Lu is just a temporary hero. But Yang Zilu is different, Yang Zilu is a hero of a lifetime.
"Is there anything wrong with the doctor coming to find the widow?" Yang Zilu looked at Qu Mu, who was sitting opposite him, he came to see him under the banner of the envoy of King Chu Hui.
Qu Mu didn't answer Yang Zilu's question immediately, but took out one of the three wooden boxes he brought with him. The reckless and high-ranking soldiers looked at Qu Mu with a high degree of nervousness, guarding against Qu Mu from assassinating Yang Zilu.
But apparently Qu Mu was not so stupid, he opened the first wooden box, revealing a dazzling bead. Yang Zilu took a closer look, his eyes widened, and he opened his mouth, what kind of bead is this, it is a round diamond, and the diamond is not one of those very small kinds, its diameter is at least one inch (two centimeters).
Qu Mu was shocked when he saw Yang Zilu, and he was secretly a little proud in his heart, barbarians are barbarians, without any background, and they are rude when they see treasures. Of course, on the surface, he didn't dare to show it, and explained to Yang Zilu: "The name of this thing is Suihou Zhu." Legend has it that when he traveled with Hou, he saw a big snake that was broken in two, and he was in great pain. When he saw this, he felt pity and ordered someone to apply medicine to the serpent, and when it was done, he enlarged the serpent and left. A year later, the serpent saw Suihou with a jewel in his mouth, and said, 'I am the son of the dragon king, and I thank the prince for saving his life, and I have come to repay the kindness.' Then he put the orb on the ground and left, so the pearl is also called the dragon ball."
When Yang Zilu heard this, he was immediately amazed, what Dragon Ball Yang Zilu didn't know, but it was definitely a diamond. And it is also a treasure among diamonds, and it is still the largest diamond in the world.
Qu Mu was still afraid that Yang Zilu would not know the goods, and added: "In addition, Suihou Zhu has another characteristic, that is, at night, it can emit a dazzling light, like candlelight, illuminating the house like day."
Yang Zilu laughed when she heard it, what kind of night light was there, it was probably just refracted light.
But at this moment, Yang Zilu also had some understanding of what the intention of the King of Chu was to send Qu Mu to find him, but he didn't know what was in the remaining two wooden boxes?
PS: Cup, today's friend's birthday, was pulled to fight for wine. Day, Mu Mu is too kind because of people, and he is really good and is bullied. Unexpectedly, after knowing that Mu Mu didn't have a lot of alcohol, he came to pour me one by one, and when he returned home, he was chaotic, and he coded three thousand words in front of him.
There's really no way.,I'll make up the number of words tomorrow.,I hope you understand.。
