Chapter 114: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf
Yi Jiuxiao let out a long sigh and said, "I came to your country to ask Chen Guo for a favor!"
"Oh, I don't know what Master Yi wants me to do in Chen Guo?"
Xuan Zhongchun looked at Yi Jiuxiao with interest, and at the same time speculated about Yi Jiuxiao's thoughts.
In his opinion, Yi Jiuxiao's trip must have wanted Chen to send troops to invade Wei and form a flank attack like Qi State.
If this is the case, he will not agree, because he wants to be a fisherman and watch the two countries of Yi and Qi fight to the death with Zhou Guo.
"Lord Dazai may also know that in more than a year, I have taken the four state cities of the Zhou Kingdom, which is a good thing, but it is also a troublesome matter, these four state cities are already the limit of what my Yi Kingdom can eat. ”
Xuan Zhongchun didn't speak, what Yi Jiuxiao said was the truth, and he was clear.
After a pause, Yi Jiuxiao continued: "I haven't done it again in the past half a year, I've been thinking about a solution, but there is no good solution, so I want to ask your country for help, I, Yi Guo, is responsible for attacking the city of Zhou, how about the city that I have conquered belongs to your country?"
"Hmm~" When Xuan Zhongchun heard this, how could there be such a good thing, so he asked, "Lord Yi, this is a joke, right?"
"How dare Yi laugh at such a big event? My Yi State attacked Zhou State mainly for revenge, and in addition, to remove hidden dangers, for the land of Zhou State, we want four states is enough. ”
After thinking for a moment, Xuan Zhongchun asked again: "Why did Master Yi choose our Chen Guobai to pick up this bargain, instead of Qi Guo, who joined forces with you?"
Yi Jiuxiao laughed and said, "Lord Dazai is suspicious! The first thing I did think of was my ally Qi country, not your country, but Qi country is on par with my Yi country, so what ability can I hold it." Dazai-sama, this is not just cheap, but defending the castle is also risky, and your country should also know this. ”
"Risk Xuan naturally knows, it's just how did my Chen Guo's army get to the position where you are fighting with the Zhou State, do you want us to fight from the border all the way to your location and then join you?"
Xuan Zhongchun smiled when he spoke, but his words were full of speculation about Yi Jiuxiao's thoughts, and it was also an inducement.
"Not really, when will it take! I can't wait. If your country is willing to send troops, you can march from the junction of our three countries to Luzhou City, and I will give up Luzhou City to your country first?"
Yi Jiuxiao's answer was unexpected by Xuan Zhongchun, and it was full of temptation, which invisibly aroused Xuan Zhongchun's ambition.
Xuan Zhongchun thought to himself: "Why don't you do such a thing of reaping the benefits?"
Song Yi, who was once transformed by Yi Jiuxiao, told him the story of the sandpiper and the clam competing for the profit of the fisherman, so he always wanted to be a fisherman.
But on the surface, Xuan Zhongchun said: "For such a big event, it is difficult for Xuan to make the decision, and I have to tell the emperor." ”
Yi Jiuxiao raised his hand to say goodbye: "Then I will wait for the good news of Lord Dazai at the Jinhai Inn." ”
At noon on the second day, several luxury carriages appeared at the door of the Jinhai Inn, and the innkeeper was no stranger today.
It was still Luo Kuang and the Jindan official who got down from the carriage, but this trip was not to the government affairs hall, but to the palace.
It is estimated that the palace has been arranged, and the carriage was not blocked outside the palace, but stopped before driving to the welcome hall.
In the welcome hall, Yi Jiuxiao saw Chen Huang Chen Liufeng, and saw that he looked elegant, but he was a master of the late stage of Jindan.
Yi Jiuxiao hurriedly stepped forward to greet Emperor Chen, and Emperor Chen looked at Yi Jiuxiao, his face was different, but he didn't say it.
Later, he met with Xuan Zhongchun, who was present, and Le Feng, the successor dean of the academy.
Le Feng is also a master in the late stage of Jindan, Yi Jiuxiao couldn't help but look at Chen Guo with admiration, a big country is a big country after all!
Dead Guan Bi, a master of the late stage of Jindan, can still find out the position of the late stage of Jindan to supplement a product.
After Yi Jiuxiao sat down, Chen Liufeng spoke: "Mr. Yi, does the emperor agree with what you said?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, I have already informed Your Majesty of my country of this matter, and I have also brought with me credentials, and if your country agrees, the two sides may exchange credentials. ”
In fact, Yi Jiuxiao didn't ask Qi Qingru for a letter of state, he flew directly from the front line.
But before leaving Beijing, Qi Qingru gave Yi Jiuxiao a few blank letters with seals, and he could fill them out by himself.
Emperor Chen nodded, and said, "Then how many soldiers and horses does Mr. Yi want our country to send?"
Yi Jiuxiao thought about it for a while, in fact, he had already thought about it, and said after a while: "The first time to send 100,000 soldiers, five Jin Dan is enough, and it is not too late to send more state cities later." ”
The territory of the Zhou State was vast, and although each state was larger than the two states of Yi Qi, there were also more than fifty states.
Chen sent 100,000 horses and five Jin Dan, at best, he could only hold five state cities.
Emperor Chen turned his head to look at Xuan Zhongchun and Le Feng and asked, "What do you two think?"
Xuan Zhongchun hurriedly spoke, he knew Emperor Chen too well, this emperor didn't have much interest in the land, he just wanted to cultivate the truth.
Today, I finally moved his heart to him, hurry up and strike while the iron is hot, and I can't hesitate for a minute.
"Your Majesty, 100,000 horses, five Jindan, we are all ready-made. Our men and horses who are fighting with the Zhou Kingdom are on their way back, so it is better to let them go directly to the Zhou Kingdom. ”
The State of Zhou took the lead in launching an attack on the border of the State of Chen, led by Yan Guang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, led 100,000 soldiers and horses, and five Jin Dan.
After hearing the news, Chen Guo also gathered equal soldiers and horses in the country, and after these horses drove to the border pass, the soldiers and horses of Zhou State withdrew to the side of Qi State.
One hundred thousand horses and five Jin Dan subdued the lost territory, and were about to return from the border, just a few days after their departure.
Large countries also have the disadvantages of large countries, and every action is protracted and not as flexible and mobile as small countries.
Chen Liufeng asked again: "Are you two sure that this matter is feasible?"
Yi Jiuxiao smiled secretly in his heart when he asked this question, and said that Chen Liufeng was indecisive, and it was true, but Chen Liufeng was not a fool.
I saw Xuan Zhongchun and Le Feng almost reply in unison: "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity, we can't miss it." ”
It is conceivable that if either of the two objected, even with the slightest hesitation, the matter would not have come to fruition.
"Then it's up to you, Dean Le, you can personally lead the troops!"
Chen Huang seemed very helpless, but it was correct to arrange for Le Feng to go, and the deans of the academies of Qi Yi and Yi were both on the battlefield.
Yi Jiuxiao was a little funny in his heart, this time it was lively, and it became a decisive battle between the deans of the academy.
Then the two sides exchanged credentials, and after the exchange, Yi Jiuxiao said goodbye to Chen Liufeng.
Chen Liufeng asked Xuan Zhongchun and Le Feng to send Yi Jiuxiao out of the palace, and he went back to the palace, probably because he didn't want to delay his cultivation.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the palace, Xuan Zhongchun suddenly said: "Master Yi, are you going to set off with Dean Le, or do you want to go back by yourself." ”
With this question, Yi Jiuxiao understood that Xuan Zhongchun was afraid that he would play tricks.
Then he said, "Dazai-sama, since the credentials have been exchanged, please rest assured." I will leave today and wait for you in Luzhou. It's just that the military aircraft is changing, and I ask your country to send troops as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, then I will send Master Yi out of the city with Dean Le. ”
In the sparkling sound of the car, Xuan Zhongchun and Le Feng sent Yi Jiuxiao to ten miles outside Jinzhou City, and the three of them got out of the car to say goodbye.
With a wave of his hand, Yi Jiuxiao had already flown into the air, and he used the Pengxiang technique, and the speed was really fast.
Xuan Zhongchun and Le Feng were secretly surprised on the ground, looking at Yi Jiuxiao's flight speed, they were afraid that they had surpassed the general Jindan late stage.
It's okay to put on a posture in front of others, but if you really want to use it all the time, you can't, and after half an hour, it will switch to ordinary flight.
Yi Jiuxiao did not fly directly to the front line, but flew to Gyeongju City, the capital of Yi State, and he has not been back for almost two years.
During this period, many things were passed on with Qi Qingru, but after all, the transmission of books was restricted, and it was better to say some things in person.
Day and night, Yi Jiuxiao came to the outside of Jinzhou City in more than 20 days.
After landing on the ground, he did not make a big fanfare, but quietly returned to the small building of Song Yuan as usual.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw Qi Qingru and Qi Qingyun meditating and cultivating in two rooms respectively, and their expressions were very focused.
Suddenly, as soon as Qi Qingru opened his eyes, he looked up and saw Yi Jiuxiao standing at the door with a smile.
Immediately, he became angry: "You are so sneaky, you have no sound, you want to scare people to death!"
"Your Majesty, how about I retreat to the door and come in again after a report?" he said and really stepped back.
Qi Qingru was a little anxious, grabbed Yi Jiuxiao, and said, "Where do you want to go!"
In this trouble, Qi Qingyun was already standing at the door, watching the two of them pulling, and he didn't know what to do.
The three of them sat down and began to talk about the journey after their separation, and they had so much to say to each other that they had talked for a day and a night.
When it came to going to Chen Guo on this trip and joining forces with Chen Guo to deal with Zhou Guo, Qi Qingru was very worried.
"Jiuxiao, Chen Guo is also a tiger wolf, not weaker than Zhou Guo, let them become stronger, will they eat us too?"
Yi Jiuxiao smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It is precisely because Chen Guo and Zhou Guo are both big countries that I thought of this trick to drive the tiger and devour the wolf. ”
"What do you mean by driving tigers and devouring wolves?" Qi Qingru couldn't understand what Yi Jiuxiao said.
"Let's make an analogy, Zhou Guo is a wolf, our Yi State and Qi State are both sheep, the wolf of Zhou State has always wanted to eat Qi Yi's two sheep, and the two sheep may not be able to fight this wolf even if they join forces, in other words, the wolf can't bite the sheep even if they lie down and let the sheep bite. ”
Yi Jiuxiao's story was told very vividly, so that the two girls could listen attentively and thoughtfully.
Qi Qingyun suddenly interjected: "What if you can't fight this wolf?"
"Then we can only invite Chen Guo, the tiger, this tiger has no fighting spirit, we can only tempt it to inspire it, let it fight with Zhou Guo and lose both, and then Yi Guo and Qi State will have a chance. ”
Qi Qingru seemed to understand completely, but I saw her muttering for a long time, and said a question, which was also the key.
"Even if Chen Zhoudou loses both, Qi Yi is still a sheep, and he still can't eat them. ”
"The emperor is wise, driving the tiger and devouring the wolf is just an expedient measure, the key is to make the country strong, and turn itself into a tiger or a wolf, so as not to be eaten by others. ”
Qi Qingru glared at Yi Jiuxiao fiercely, not because he said something wrong, but because he called her emperor in private.
