Chapter Ninety-Five: The Letter of State
Let the puppies come out and meet us! ”
"Yes, tell the puppy to come out and let him come out to meet our brothers!"
Two men wearing purple striped armor on their chests stood in the stronghold and shouted angrily.
Around them, a group of wild men.
At this time, in the savage army, the men's wails and the women's miserable screams were endless, and this people, who had been driven out of the land of the Three Jin Dynasty and had been suffering on the snow field for hundreds of years, were venting all the violence and repression they had accumulated on the Jin people, who were high in their eyes in the past.
Delicious and abundant food,
Delicate gold, silver and jade,
Sturdy and durable armor,
The beautiful woman who seems to be able to pinch out the water,
Whew,
these
But they are all things that most savages have never touched in their lifetimes, and now they are displayed in front of them and left for them to enjoy.
O stars,
It's like a dream!
"Those two guys, are they the two from the Situ family?"
In the distance, there were two people sitting on the haystack, one was a mulberry tiger with a human skull string around his neck, and the one who asked the question was a one-eyed dragon man, this one-eyed dragon was called Grimu, with delicate skin that was different from other savages, if it was not one-eyed, it looked more like a scholar of Jindi.
In fact, he is indeed of Jin blood, but his grandfather fled into the snow field because of a crime, and his family has always worked for a savage tribe and took care of business.
Later, the Savage King raised troops, he was the first group of people to respond, and his military exploits were outstanding, and the Savage King was still very generous in some aspects, and he did not treat him differently because of the blood of the Jin people, so that he could hold the position of ten thousand households.
Under his hands, there are a large number of Jin soldiers who were defeated and captured and became captive slaves, which is also suitable for him, the "Jin people", to command.
Sang Hu nodded, pointed to the two people who were still scolding there, and said:
"Exactly, one is called Situ Yi, the other is called Situ Jiong, they are the Situ family, oh no, they are the elder brother of Situ Lei, the emperor of Chengguo."
Grimu lowered his head and whispered as he bit the grass stem:
"I have heard that the king was once a slave of their house?"
"Yes, there's nothing to be embarrassed to say, Gerim, the smell of the Jin people on your body is still too strong, this matter will not only not make us despise the king, but will make us feel the greatness and nobility of the king even more."
"You know, I didn't mean that."
"Huh."
"What are those two men going to do when they come to the king now?"
"Because the king promised the two of them before, as long as my holy clan can enter the customs, he will support them to ascend the throne and become the co-lords of the Snow Plains and the Jin Land.
Without their help, we wouldn't have been able to win several battles in a row in the snowfield at the beginning, and if they hadn't joined forces with each other, the snow customs wouldn't have been so easy for us to break.
The two of them have made great efforts in the matter of my Holy Clan's entry into the customs. ”
"These two people are really brainless." Grimu sighed.
At this time and that time, the wild man was just a wandering soul on the snow field, so he naturally wanted to grovel to you, and you could naturally command as much as you wanted, but now, the wild man has entered the customs, and half of the territory of the country has been lost.
"Don't look at them so happily and so domineering now, in fact, they are more afraid than everyone else, and their arrogance now is just to cover up the fear and cowardice in their hearts.
Moreover, they still have some use, some of the Situ family's cities and the generals who lead the troops, and they still need them to contact and move around, and it is best to surrender if they can make them surrender. ”
"It's a nuisance."
"Grimu, how are you more like a Holy Clan than our Holy Clan."
"I've believed in the stars for a long time."
"Hehe, you know, I didn't mean that;
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Situ Lei hadn't died in the Snow Customs, the king really planned to help one of them ascend the throne.
Our foundation is still in the snowy fields. ”
When Grimu heard this, he suddenly became dissatisfied:
"Why!"
"Which one are you referring to?"
"I don't want to go back, my family used to live here, and now that I'm back, I haven't thought about going back to the snow field, here, it's much more comfortable than the snow field."
"Who's to say it isn't, but you have to know that if you try to eat a whole sheep in one go, your belly will be broken.
We have to take it step by step, and now, first move the population, craftsmen, women, and children of the Situ family of Chengguo to the snow field first.
Let their children, when they grow up, only speak the language of my Holy Clan, and become the warriors of my Holy Clan!
Let their women continue to reproduce and raise more people for our holy family!
Let their craftsmen create more tools and weapons for our Holy Family!
Let their men go and herd for us, and build a city for us!
It's not that we don't want to live here forever, Grimu, you were a Jin person, and this was your home, but you must know that in the distant past, this was the homeland of my holy family.
It's back, it's like a dream, so we're more like grasping something, we're afraid of this dream, and suddenly we wake up, and in the end, nothing is left behind. ”
Grimu took a breath and asked:
"It's because ............ Swallow people? ”
The most elite and most warlike soldiers and horses of Chengguo were buried in the north of the Snow Customs, and now Chengguo is only barely able to parry, and their soldiers and horses in the south who have been guarding the border of Chu all the year round are isolated there, unable to return to help.
Situ Lei was seriously injured and fled, if Situ Lei died, then the complete collapse of the country can be said to be only a matter of time, the only variable,
It is probably the country called "Tsubame" to the west of Chengguo.
They had sent expeditionary soldiers and horses over the Tianduan Mountains to fight into the snowfields, and now, once the Cheng Kingdom completely collapsed, then the wild people would have to directly face the reaction from the Yan Kingdom.
In the meantime, there is no Heavenly Broken Mountain Range as an obstacle.
Sang Hu nodded very heavily and said:
"Therefore, Wang Cai slowed down the pace of the attack, maybe in your opinion, it gave Chengguo a chance to breathe, but why not give us a chance to breathe?"
"Yanren, is it really that scary?"
"It's not easy to mess with."
A voice came from behind them, and Alai, with a leg of mutton in his hand, jumped onto the haystack, wearing the iron mask on his face.
Sang Hu turned his head, glanced at Alai, and said with a smile:
"You kid, you almost didn't come back."
"It's me who ran fast, a little bit, I was caught by the Yan people, there is a little man in the Yan army, it's just a little bit, it's really a little bit, that little man caught me, I was also lucky, I ran into a demon beast in the mountain, and I escaped by luck."
Grim turned his head to look at Alai and said, "Yanren, is it really that terrifying?" ”
"If we can not provoke now, try not to provoke first, wait for our warriors to have more armor, wait for our army to become larger, wait for the tribes on the snow field to surrender more and more, and then we will have the confidence to really fight with the Yan people."
"Alai, you were frightened by the Yan people." Grim teased.
"No, that's what the king said, you don't think the king is a coward, do you? In this world, there is no one who hopes to defeat the Yan Kingdom more than the king;
In that way, we will be able to force the Yan people to submit and send the county lord over to make peace, which is the dream of the king's heart. ”
Then
With the scolding and shouting of the two princes of the Situ family,
A man in a wolf's skin came out from the depths of the camp,
When the man passed, all the savages around him fell to their knees.
And this man,
ran directly to the two Situ princes,
"Smack",
Kneeling down,
Chanted:
"Grandpa, second grandpa, the little dog is here to greet you."
………
Yingcheng, originally the place where the Situ family made their fortune, was renamed Yingdu after the establishment of Dacheng.
Outside the city, the soldiers and horses of Qinwang from all over the country are coming one after another, some of them are still clear-cut, but most of them are already showing a chaotic atmosphere.
Originally, the founding of the Situ family was built in a hurry, and there was a layer of suspicion that Situ Lei killed his father hung in the sky, and some forces within the Situ family actually did not have time to integrate.
Originally, all of this could be purged through the war against the savages, and the new country was established, and it has always been the most effective way to stabilize people's hearts and maintain the authority of the new monarch with a great victory in a foreign war.
It's just that all these assumptions have been played with.
The elite of the Situ family was buried in the snow customs, and the savages entered the customs, and this Dacheng country, which was established less than a year ago, was already in turmoil for a while.
And right now, many pairs of eyes are staring at the palace.
Situ Lei did not die in Xuehaiguan, he came back alive, but everyone knew it, even the people of Yingdu, that Situ Lei came back with serious injuries.
This new country, which is already on the verge of shattering, if even its founding king dies at this time, then what can this country do to sustain?
In the dormitory,
Situ Lei was covered with a quilt, and there were two charcoal basins burning in the room, the weather was already hot, but Situ Lei's body was chilling all the time.
His lips were white, his eyes were sunken, he was not too old, but he was showing a feeling of running out of oil and lamps under his eyes.
And in front of his bed, Dacheng Guozai Fu Sun Youdao was drafting the national letter.
After the last pen was written, Sun Youdao lifted the national letter, blew on it, and then looked at the monarch on the bed, and said:
"Your Majesty, it's written."
Situ Lei's eyes looked at the eunuch who had been waiting on the side of the sickbed, and the eunuch understood and took out the big seal.
Just as I was about to close it,
Sun Youdao suddenly took a step back and knelt down,
Sobbing:
"Your Majesty, if Your Majesty will take good care of your body and reorganize your troops and horses, you may not have the hope of defeating the savages and recovering the land!"
Situ Lei looked at his Zaifu,
Lips open,
In an extremely hoarse voice, he said:
"If you lose all and then admit defeat, people will look down on you."
"Your Majesty!"
"Admitting defeat while you still have some belongings and some capital left, it's a bit backbone."
"I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
"There is a way."
"Your Majesty."
"One more sentence, one more sentence."
Sun Youdao immediately wiped his tears, reopened the scroll, and picked up the brush;
"I ...... No, I, Situ Lei does not seek the position of the lord of the country, does not seek fiefdoms, does not seek shade, does not seek the future of the Situ family, and today will send the remnants of the country to the country, and what he asks for is the only one;
Please swallow ...... Please send a large army to expel the savages as soon as possible, and return peace to the people of the Three Jin Dynasty. ”
