Chapter 178, Top Talents
The battle between Gangneung and Yangyang reached a stalemate, and the idea was naturally said by Qi Yin by proposing to attack Hanjin Port and then attack Jiangxia.
Except for a few difficulties raised by the monarch and persuaded him, there was no other problem.
And when the Xia Dynasty learned of Qin Tian and the others' intentions, he gritted his teeth and gave a death order to Hanjin Port and Jiangxia County, and he couldn't hold on! Hold on! Maximum procrastination.
Just now he learned that it would take two months to equip the stirrups and knight's swords of the six thousand cavalry, and after the first successful test of the knight's sword, this forging method has been tested after six processes, and it only takes three strokes to cut off the original old-fashioned weapons of Xiangguo.
And Zhao Long and others also initially gained the trust of the Xia Dynasty, as for Zhuge Mou, because Zhao Long was too dazzling, he was suspicious, and the fundamental reason was that Zhao Long was very similar to someone in Zhenguo.
The same slender body, the same young general, the same pink carving, the same exquisite marksmanship, the same skilled riding and archery, the same white and silver guns.
Since he hadn't seen the other party directly, and there was no direct evidence, he could only speed up the investigation while also trying his best to teach Zhao Long.
On the 10th of July, Zhuge Mou steadily entered the main hall, and said aloud to Xia Chao, who was immersed in reading: "Your Excellency." ”
Xia Chao raised his head slightly, saw Zhuge Mou's arrival, and said with a smile: "The military advisor is here." ”
Zhuge Mou stepped forward and said to Xia Chao: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is news of Lingling County?" Is it about that Zhao Long? ”
Xia Chao glanced at Zhuge Mou, nodded silently, and handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Zhuge Mou.
Zhuge Mou hurriedly put his hands on the results, and then began to read in detail.
This information is obviously sent three times and one arrives, and the three pieces of bamboo slips have obviously just been integrated, with a brief line of words on it.
"It has been verified that the Zhao Mansion of the Ministry of Industry was wiped out, and only one son escaped, named Zhao Long."
After Zhuge Mou saw it, he sighed and said, "This news should be fake. ”
Xia Chao shook his head helplessly, Zhuge Mou was too cautious and suspicious, Xia Chao did not have any disgust for this, after all, Zhuge Mou was cautious and suspicious for him and Xiangguo, sighed and said: "Military advisor, why do you think it's fake?" What's the flaw? ”
Zhuge Mou was silent, he didn't have any reason to say that this news was fake, but his intuition told him that he couldn't believe the news when he went to it, and said in his mouth: "Perhaps, the squire of the Ministry of Industry of Zhenguo is surnamed Zhao, but his son may not be named 'Dragon'!" I need to meet someone to prove once and for all that Zhao Long is not that person. ”
Xia Chao nodded, I have to say, what Zhuge Mou said is very reasonable, but everything is based on Zhuge Mou's distrust of Zhao Long, from the Xia Dynasty's point of view, Zhuge Mou wants to avenge Guanghong, so he is sensitive to all suspicious things.
"Before that!" When Zhuge Mougang wanted to take revenge, he suddenly said: "Before that, please keep your distance from Zhao Long. ”
Xia Chao nodded solemnly.
"Yes." Zhuge Mou breathed a sigh of relief, although Xia Chao did not speak, it was enough to show that the other party was serious.
Just as Zhuge Mou walked out of the main hall, a herald who came to him hurriedly ignored Zhuge Mou and entered the main hall, and said in a high tone: "Report!" Hanjin Port and Xiakou Port fell last night. ”
Zhuge Mou's body was stunned, and he hurriedly turned around and returned to the main hall, and evaded the information with his hands and presented it to the Xia Dynasty.
After reading it, Xia Chao handed it to Zhuge Mou, sighed, and said: "Hanjin Port was killed by Dian Wei jumping into the city wall at dusk yesterday, and the army took the opportunity to hit the gate with a wooden crash, and then changed into the costume of my Xiangguo and pretended to be a soldier of our country to capture Xiakou Port. ”
"I knew! When you say that you will kill that Dian Wei at all costs!! ”
What Xia Chao said was naturally the matter of the four hundred dead soldiers, obviously hated Dian Wei very much, and he couldn't wait to eat his flesh, and the hideous appearance led the herald soldiers to shudder.
…
When the Xia Dynasty received the news, Qin Tian and the others naturally also received the news.
The monarch of the state of Chu said to Qin Tian: "The alliance leader has a lot of talents, and such outstanding talents really make me envious." ”
The pear country and the imperial country also happened to pat Qin Tian's ass appropriately.
When he returned to his palace, Qin Tian was a little puzzled, because he really couldn't figure out why Jia Xu wanted to form this alliance in the first place, if it was completely possible to destroy Xiang himself, why would he form an alliance?
Maybe Qin Tian's wisdom is not the kind of superhuman, and he naturally can't figure out the questions under Jia Xubu.
Maybe...... Some things don't know until you get there.
Qin Tian took out the second bag, hesitating in his heart whether to open the second bag in advance, and after thinking about it again and again, he decided to give up, at least trust the other party for a while.
Qin Tian took out the book again and began to read it.
And just as Qin Tian was reading the book, Li Wei found the monarch of the imperial kingdom and the monarch of the state of Chu, and said to the two of them straight to the point: "The state of Zhen is fully capable of destroying the state of Chu by itself, why did you still find us?" Who of you knows? ”
The two were silent for a while, and the monarch of Chu was the first to say: "Maybe it's because I'm afraid that one person will take the lead in destroying the big country in Jingbei and cause criticism." ”
The monarch of the imperial kingdom squinted his eyes, looked at the monarch of the pear country, and suddenly said with cloudy eyes: "Pear trick boy, do you mean that the other party is going to find an excuse to unite with the Wu country and serve us again after destroying the Xiang country?" ”
Pear said with a smile, "I didn't mean that," but the expression on his face had already told the two of them, and it didn't rule out this idea.
The monarch of Chu blinked his expression, and then did not speak, revealing a contemplative expression.
After that, after chatting for a while, they dispersed.
Since Lu Xun was not around, Zhang Liao began to protect Qin Tian's safety and got a secret report such as the shadow attack.
After Zhang Liao finished reading it, he hurriedly picked up the bamboo slip and began to look at it, and after half a ring, a deep wrinkle was revealed, and he took the information and walked to the hall where Qin Tian was.
Zhang Liao arched his hand and faced Qin Tian: "Your Majesty, the secret meeting of the kings of the three kingdoms of Liguo, Yuguo, and Chu State, the minister is worried that these people are making small moves behind their backs, so do they want to send someone to find out." ”
Qin Tian frowned, and he had some realization in his heart, maybe he ...... The leader of the alliance is too powerful, and they are afraid that they will not be able to get what they deserve.
After a moment of silence, Qin Tian slowly spoke, "Continue to monitor." ”
Zhang Liao left with his hands.
And at this moment, the monarch of the Pear Country, Pear Wei, was brewing something at the moment, leaning on the edge of the bed, holding the wine jue, his eyes flashing.
…
Early the next morning, it was the turn of the pear country to send people to call the battle, and allocated 5,000 men and horses to Xiao Yi, together with the people and horses of the headquarters to call the battle, and Qin Tianji Guojun watched from afar in a county town in the rear.
"Cowards of Xianggou, come out quickly to meet your grandfather." Xiao Yi held a weapon and stood proudly on the longboard bridge while shouting at the camp on the other side.
Qin Tian actually didn't think much about it, and the reason was that the scolding method of this era seemed to be a little simpler in later generations, and it was not enjoyable at all.
However, although Qin Tian is very unpleasant here, it is completely different in the Xiangguo camp. Several generals were so angry when they heard Xiao Yi's insults that they gathered in the main general's tent to ask for battle.
The chief general of Xiangguo is a scholar, hearing that several generals want to ask for war, he refused without hesitation, because of the emotions of several generals, he slightly revealed that Xiangguo is currently investing a large amount of money to make secret weapons, and at that time it can turn things around in one fell swoop.
The generals were a little indignant when they stopped the words of the general, but when they heard it, they just gritted their teeth and endured it.
The scholar general observed the faces of the generals, looked indifferent, and said, "Although we can't go out of the camp to fight, we can scold each other." ”
This military order was lively as soon as possible, and immediately hundreds of Xiangguo soldiers ran to the gate of the village to scold Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi's face was distorted, and he wanted to kill him several times, but the other party forced him back with a bow and arrow.
No matter how loud Xiao Yi is, he can't scold these hundreds of people, and they are even growing.
Moreover, those Xiangguo soldiers come from different regions, and the scolding has local characteristics, even if the same sentence is scolded in different dialects, the effect is not the same, and the tricks are more than ten times more than Xiao Yi.
Li Wei stood on the county seat and looked at the situation in the distance, his face was not very good-looking, Xiao Yu saw this and immediately sent hundreds of soldiers to come forward and scold the other party.
Qin Tian looked at such a grand scolding scene with some amusement, but as soon as there were many people, he couldn't hear what he was scolding clearly, and it was better for Xiao Yi to hear it clearly when he called out alone, and it became chaotic.
Qin Tian shook his head and looked at the pear with a smile after saying a few words to the pear.
And Li Wei's eyes lit up after hearing this, and after looking for Xiao Yu, he said a few words to Xiao Yu.
And Xiao Yu immediately began to arrange.
Qin Tian's idea was nothing more than to learn the neat and consistent singing he had used to be in school and apply it to this.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the three hundred soldiers of the Pear Kingdom to line up in a phalanx, and under the command of Xiao Yi, they began to scold the enemy camp in unison, and the angry generals of the Xiangguo Kingdom jumped like thunder.
…
Xiangguo invested a lot of money, through the passage of Wanjun and Guannai, purchased high-quality iron ore and high-grade war horses at a high price, and wantonly equipped the Flying Tiger Army, and made up its mind to create an elite cavalry unit with super combat power, instead of a soldier who can't support the wall in the mud now.
After a large amount of capital investment, a large number of craftsmen were hired, and under the guidance of the first four craftsmen, full firepower began to continue to manufacture.
As a result, the treasury of Xiangguo was scarce for a short period of time, and the original economic hubs of Gangneung and Yangyang were currently in a state of war, and the number of merchants was greatly reduced, resulting in the next month's tax revenue in Xiangyang is likely to be less than one-fifth of what it was when the war began.
But for this question, the Xia Dynasty did not have a frown, because he knew that either Xiangguo would destroy the country, or Xiangguo would repel the alliance, and maybe it would be able to fight back.
First, if the country is destroyed, what is the use of keeping these funds? It's better to spend it now, give the other party a head-on blow, and let the other party leave a bloody lesson;
Secondly, if Xiangguo repels the alliance, then it will naturally have the right to accept war compensation, and it can also counterattack, and at that time, Zhenguo's wealth will not be weaker than Xiangyang, after all, the other party has two states, and the wealth is naturally amazing.
At this time, Zhuge Mou hurriedly walked in from outside the door and said, "Your Majesty, the minister feels that something is wrong. ”
Xia Chao waved his hand and said, "What's the matter?" Did you find something? ”
Zhuge Mou arched his hand and said: "Monarch, my country only equipped the Flying Tiger Army of 8,000 people to make Xiangyang City lack funds, so where did the 10,000 troops of Zhenguo come from?" When did Zhenguo have so much money? There's definitely something wrong with that. ”
Xia Chao was stunned, and secretly calculated it, and found that the horses that needed to be purchased to equip 10,000 cavalry alone required an extremely large amount of money, not to mention iron ore.
Zhuge Mou said faintly again at this time: "Not to mention items such as catapults, this Zhenguo is going against the sky, it is obviously a country that has developed for less than two years, not to mention the speed of expanding the territory, let's just say this equipment, first what Zhenjiu appeared, and then got secret information that it was said that there was a thing called paper, and then all kinds of battlefield artifacts appeared, and there were top generals gathered together, and the minister saw the demeanor of peerless generals for the first time in more than 20 years." ”
"Especially...... Some of them, especially those who hold the highest power above the Zhenguo court......" Zhuge Mou suddenly saw Xia Chao's face, and then realized that he had talked too much today, sighed, and then gave up his hand and prepared to leave.
