Chapter 68, Defeated Peace Talks
In fact, when the younger brother of the Silla Jeon Zhiyu clan sought the throne, he told the elders and ministers of the country that after Jeon Zhiyu entered the Han Dynasty, she signed various treaties with the Han Dynasty, thus betraying the sovereignty of the country, and she was unable to inform the country, and she would only make Silla a puppet of the Han Dynasty.
So he seized Quan Zhiyu, controlled the important people who supported Quan Zhiyu, and snatched the throne. After Quan Zhiyu fled, he said that Quan Zhiyu had died, and the Han Dynasty would definitely lead troops to attack in order to avenge Quan Zhiyu, so he gathered the troops of the whole country and went all out to defend Kyoto, and the important force was naturally to defend the first fortress, as long as it was held there, Kyoto would naturally have nothing to do. In order to get the help of Goguryeo's beast forces, the new king betrayed the sovereignty of many countries, including providing Goguryeo with a small amount of their country's unique products every year, such as beef, milk, etc. Goguryeo agreed, sending their beast troops to help the king of Silla.
The young general's family has always been the main armed force of Silla, and now that the Han Dynasty is about to invade Silla, he naturally assumes the position of commander and directs the army to resist the Han army. At the same time, he also hated the Han Dynasty people, thinking that they killed Quan Zhiyu and starved.
It wasn't until he saw Quan Zhiyu at this moment and heard Quan Zhiyu call out his name that he realized that he was on the music of the new king, and Quan Zhiyu was not dead at all, so in order not to hurt Quan Zhiyu, he decisively withdrew his troops in the summer, which created an opportunity for Zu Zhao and others to retreat.
If there is no appearance of her, then the Silla generals will definitely continue to cooperate with the fierce beast troops of Goguryeo to attack the Zu Zhao army, and then Zu Zhao and Zhang Yuan and Zhao Meng don't know if they can escape.
Zu Zhao listened to Quan Zhiyu and Zhang Yuan in the camp tent, and his heart was also quite shocked, he looked at Quan Zhiyu and said: "Maybe the military advisor didn't think that you were the uncertain decisive factor. Before, I thought that the beast army belonged to your Silla, but it turned out to be Goguryeo. I really didn't expect that Goguryeo would have such a beast army, which is not recorded in history textbooks. ”
"What? Calendar textbooks? What history textbook? Zhang Yuan and Quan Zhiyu asked puzzled.
Zu Zhao realized that he had crossed over again, at that time, there were documents and materials to record various things in the previous dynasty, but it should not be the era when the whole people studied history, at least they didn't have any history textbooks. He said quietly: "What I said casually is literature. There is no record in the documents of our Han Dynasty that Goguryeo had such an army. ”
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "Yes, we actually know very little about the outside clans, although the imperial court has been sending people to the Western Regions to interact with many countries for a generation over the years, but we know too little about them after all. ”
Quan Zhiyu said: "Now they are holding the fortress, the fortress there is impossible to break, what should we do?" The main thing is that they still have beast troops, and we have no way to deal with them. Unless I try to persuade that Silla general to surrender, maybe he will listen to me and not resist us. ”
Zu Zhao just heard Quan Zhiyu tell the story of her and the Silla general, and he already had a trace of jealousy in his heart, did he come here by himself, did he just watch a woman intercede and let him go? It's just too much to bear. However, for the sake of the overall situation, he still agreed to persuade Jeon Zhiyu, but he proposed that he must not agree to marry the Silla general, at least until he helped to investigate.
Zhang Yuan naturally heard the meaning of Zu Zhao's words, he knew that Zu Zhao was in love with Quan, but he just laughed in his heart for a while, but his face did not show anything. But Quan Zhiyu didn't seem to hear the meaning of Zu Zhao's words at all, but said very seriously: "No matter what the purpose, I will not marry him, I have completely different political ideas from him." I just want to marry you, and I'm about to give you a baby. ”
She said such things in front of Zhang Yuan and a group of lieutenants, Zu Zhao couldn't help but choke on saliva and coughed violently, while Zhang Yuan and the other lieutenants looked at each other, and finally couldn't help laughing, some people were afraid of losing their temper in front of Zu Zhao, and immediately after Quan Zhiyu finished speaking, he took the initiative to ask for orders to go out to lead the patrol to guard with a smile. Before Zu Zhao could answer, they had already left the tent.
Zu Zhao looked at Zhang Yuan and the others helplessly, and said to Quan Zhiyu: "That's it." When you bring my army here, we will show the power of our army in front of them, let them see the momentum of our army, and when the time comes, you can persuade you a few words of good words, you can unify what he will do in the future to protect the country and the like, in short, it is the kind that enjoys great privileges, so soft and hard, see how he will choose, if they resist to death and do not agree to let us go, then then think about it, we must pass quickly, if it rains again or something, then once the beast army attacks first, we are finished. ”
Naturally, he just said to Quan Zhiyu and Zhang Yuan and others, for the large army behind, he must tell the enemy that there are fierce beasts, but he must let them know that the fierce beasts can be defeated, but they can't say anything in front of the soldiers, and the morale and morale of the fighting army are the most important.
As for how to fight the enemy's beasts and how to attack the enemy's fortresses, this question is now the problem that plagues Zu Zhao. He knew what Su De said, only he could solve it, but now it seemed that he really had no way to deal with the beast troops.
At dusk, suddenly a soldier came to report the arrival of an envoy from Silla. Zu Zhao arranged for all the generals and deputy generals to gather in the camp tent, so that everyone could win a clean victory, and he must not let the envoy see that there was any great loss of morale after our first battle a hundred times, but let him go back and report to the commander of Silla, and the momentum of the Han Dynasty army was not hit at all.
After the envoy came in, he did not salute, and directly told Zu Zhao and the other generals in Chinese, which was not very fluent, saying that the Silla general asked him to pass on a message and let the Silla queen Quanzhiwei go, and when the time came, the Han army could retreat smoothly, and they would not launch an attack by fierce beasts, otherwise the Han army would definitely be wiped out this time.
Zu Zhao smiled coldly and reprimanded: "You go and tell your general that he is now aiding and abusing, and if you know each other, you should surrender early, otherwise when our army arrives and Queen Silla reascends the throne first, it will be the end of these people, and they will all be punished for treason." ”
The believer said, "My message has been delivered, and I can't control what you want." After saying that, he immediately turned around and went out very arrogantly. One lieutenant couldn't stand it, drew his saber with a whoosh, and rebuked: "What a rude messenger, I'll cut off your head and sacrifice our banner with your blood." ”
When the messenger heard this, he immediately turned around, his throat moved, and he looked at the lieutenant with some nervousness. "Stop, let him go." Zu Zhao persuaded the lieutenant general and said to the messenger: "Tell your general that the queen of Silla will talk to him personally another day, and ask him to think clearly whether to give way or not to give way, otherwise there will be no one left when the army breaks through the city." ”
The messenger was startled, but he still pretended to be very calm, still snorted very rudely, and turned to leave Zu Zhao's military camp. Seeing the messenger go out, the adjutant put the knife back into its scabbard in hatred, and said, "Such a rude man, general, why don't you let me cut him." ”
Zu Zhao said indifferently: "The two armies intersect, if you don't kill the envoy, if he loves to be rude, let him be rude, and when the time comes, the army will enter the city, if he has the life to see it, let him see what is the generosity and atmosphere of the ceremonial state." For such people, it would be nice to ignore them completely. ”
Everyone admired Zu Zhao's feelings. In fact, Zu Zhao was also extremely angry in his heart, he was so rude, he really wanted to cut him. But after all, he is the messenger of Silla, and he has to negotiate with the other party in the future, if he can not fight this fortress, he will not fight, every soldier is raised by his mother's father, and there are people in the family waiting for them to go back, if it is not a last resort, he will not attack these. However, this is an eternal truth in troubled times, the so-called times create heroes, and once they succeed, they will become thousands of bones, which is an eternal truth, but I just want to minimize some casualties. Today's battle has already lost nearly 1,000 elite troops, and if it continues like this, I don't know how many soldiers will have to be sacrificed when we arrive in Kyoto.
A day later, Su De rushed to the front camp of the fortress with a large army and merged with Zu Zhao's army, he had long known about Zhao Meng's injuries, and a messenger had already reported it to him. And when this moment came, he was the first to visit Zhao Meng, according to the doctor's description, Zu Zhao's chest cavity was seriously injured, and there were many broken bones in his chest. Fortunately, he is strong enough, although he is seriously injured, but if he can do a good job, he can recover in less than half a year, and if he is not well adjusted, then he will be greatly affected in the future.
After listening to the doctor's words, Zu Zhao and Su De immediately decided to send a team of people to send Zhao Meng back immediately, and Zu Zhao also specially repaired two letters, one to Cao Cao in Luoyang and one to Huangfu Song in Jizhou, hoping that they could help find Hua Tuo and let him personally go to Liaodong County to treat Zhao Meng. Hua Tuo is erratic, he likes to travel to doctors, the last time they met him, he invited him to tea, and then he passed on some of them, or said that he told him some of them, but he was all on paper, and Hua Tuo was practical.
Now, as long as Hua Tuo is found, then let him come to Liaodong County to save people, he will never shirk this, but now Zu Zhao is in Silla and can't go back to arrange it in person, so he can only ask Huangfu Song and Cao Cao for help.
Although Cao Cao's official position is not big now, but this guy is very good at dealing with people, has a good eloquence, has a good positive relationship, and still has a lot of true and false friends in the court, now looking for Cao Cao to help, he will definitely not shirk, not to mention Huangfu Song, the official residence in Jizhou Mu, friends all over the world, last time it was Zhao Meng who led the troops to help him quell the chaos, and now that Zhao Meng is injured, he will definitely go all out, even if he can't find Hua Tuo, he will definitely find the best doctor to treat Zhao Meng.
Su De also said that he should send Zhao Meng back as soon as possible, he said that he would not be able to go back in three days, there would be rain on the way back to Liaodong, and he must be sent back quickly, and he must not be delayed on the road for too long, otherwise it will be difficult for the carriage and horses to travel, which will not be conducive to Zhao Meng's condition.
Zu Zhao nodded, and immediately lined up a team of 100 people to send Zhao Meng back, and sent two light soldiers with letters to find Cao Cao and Huangfu Song day and night, if Zhao Meng answered Liaodong County, he could see Hua Tuo, that was the best, Zhao Meng's injury, it would be better to treat it as soon as possible.
Zhao Meng was still in a coma and was sent away, and Zu Zhao was sent a few miles away, if it wasn't for him, then it was himself who was sent back now. Fortunately, there is no danger to life, otherwise the loss of a general like this will undoubtedly be like a broken arm.
The next day, under the protection of Zu Zhao's army, Quan Zhiyu came to the gate of the fortress and said that he wanted to talk to the general. Soon, someone reported the news of Quan Zhiyu's conversation to the fortress guard, that is, the person who wanted to marry Quan Zhiyu. He hurried to the city tower, and when he saw that it was all right below, his heart was very excited.
Quan Zhiyu didn't have his excitement, but made him give up resistance, what her brother did belonged to the dynasty and would be beheaded, and his supporters would naturally be punished. If he can surrender and help her regain the throne, then he will be crowned the general of Silla, and he will be the greatest contributor to her return to the throne, and he will be the most powerful man at that time.
But the man said that he didn't want any generals, he just wanted to marry Quan Zhiyu first, she could not be the king, let Quan Zhiyu continue to be the queen, he only needed to be with him. Quan Zhiyu disagreed, and almost said that she was already Zu Zhao's person, but fortunately, Zu Zhao had long known that she would say this, and immediately stopped her before she could say it, so he didn't let her say it.
Otherwise, the negotiation will definitely break down, people love you, but you love a foreign man, what is the reason, in love and hatred, if you don't kill a piece of armor, you won't be angry. After persuading for a long time, the man was a little moved after all, or he didn't want to hurt Quan, and no one could guarantee it in the chaos.
