Chapter 325: Peerless Peak (Part II)
A few days ago, the news that the King of Qi led his troops into Shu reached Dongyang, the kingdom of Weiguo.
King Wei immediately issued an order, ordering 30,000 soldiers to enter the Zhao State to the west, and use the Zhao State to go to the old Chen State, and attack the three Rong people who still remained in the south of the Chen State from the north. 30,000 soldiers entered Zhao, and the king of Zhao also sent 20,000 Zhao troops to accompany him.
King Wei entrusted the government to the prime minister, took a hundred elite soldiers overnight, left Dongyang City, and galloped south into the Qi country, trying to rush to the battlefield of Shu as quickly as possible, and bring the king of Qi out of the land of right and wrong in Shu.
When King Wei and his entourage arrived at the jade capital of Qi State, they were stopped by the general who guarded the city of Yudu, saying that King Qi issued an order before leaving, and the people of Wei Guo should not enter Shu in the south.
King Wei said angrily: "Your Royal Highness King Qi is a child who was raised by one hand!" Shu is a land of right and wrong, he is in deep danger, how can he sit idly by? If you dare to stop it again, Hugh blames yourself for hurting people! ”
The general defending the city saluted King Wei and said, "Your Royal Highness King Wei, the last general will not dare to disobey the king's orders. ”
The defenders of the city closed the north gate, so the hundreds of elite soldiers under King Wei and the defenders of the jade capital of Qi fought outside the north gate.
A soldier defending the city immediately ran to the White Jade Palace to report, and after a while, the soldiers defending the city opened the north gate again, and rode out of the city on horseback.
After Shu'er scolded everyone to stop, he immediately jumped off the horse, ran to King Wei in a few steps, and saluted: "My father-in-law has come from afar, and the journey is hard, can you go with Shu'er to the White Jade Palace to rest for a while before making plans?" ”
King Wei said: "Shu'er, if you go to Shu Kingdom, it is really auspicious!" The letter written by the King of Song to the State of Qi proclaimed the edict to the world, and everyone in the world thought that the King of Song was emulating the righteousness of the King of Qi to aid Zhao, and everyone was full of praise for the King of Song, but the move of the King of Song was actually very strange! If he really led the troops to aid Shu, why did he write a letter of state to Xiao before the march? Why did you want to proclaim such a letter to the world? Haven't you thought about it? ”
Shu'er frowned and looked at her father-in-law, suddenly at a loss.
Before leaving, King Qi did not explain to her why he did not let the Patriots go to help Shu, and at this moment, except for delay, she could not think of any excuse to stop a father who was concerned about his child. Do you want to tell King Wei that she has trusted King Song since she was a child?
Shu'er asked, "Father-in-law, is there anything wrong with the letter of King Song?" ”
King Wei said: "King Song admits that King Qi is his half-brother, isn't this still a problem? When the state of Qi was restored, why didn't you see the king of Song handing over the letter of congratulations? He used this to remove the King of Qi's defense against him, and then defeated the Shu Kingdom again and again, and led the King of Qi to lead the troops into Shu to rescue, I don't believe there is no conspiracy in this! ”
Shu'er asked again: "How did my father-in-law know that King Song's 'conspiracy' could succeed?" What if he was defeated again and again, and the King of Qi just sat idly by? Before the words fell, Shu'er's heart froze, and she already had an answer.
Not to mention that Liu is benevolent and righteous, not to mention that Liu knows that Liu is his half-brother, not to mention that if Liu does not save his brother, it will be difficult to escape the leisurely mouth attracted by that piece of national letter...... Let's just say that on the East China Sea back then, Shu'er and Liu high-fived as an oath, and Liu promised her a total of three things. One is not to tell others about her mistaken life experience, the second is not to love the king's power and wealth, and after helping her father-in-law to restore the country, he will be free with her, and the third is not to kill her "brother" at any time, Song Wang Liu!
Shu'er couldn't help but take half a step back, and when King Wei saw her face wavering, he didn't answer her question, but said, "There is a misunderstanding between Xiao and me. He didn't let the defenders go to Shu because he was afraid that I would take the opportunity to destroy Shu and sweep away a stumbling block for his great cause in the world. ”
Shu'er said incredulously: "Destroy Shu? With the relationship between his father-in-law and the King of Shu, how could he have such a misunderstanding of his father-in-law? ”
King Wei didn't want to delay here, so he turned around and got on the horse, bowed his head and said to Shu'er: "Xiao did misunderstand me. The fall of Shu is a foregone conclusion, and there is no need to defend the country at all. I'm going to Shu, not to destroy Shu, but to save him! ”
King Wei was about to spur his horse, but Shu'er grabbed his reins, and was embarrassed: "But my father-in-law, before I left calmly, I specially told me not to let any patriots go to Shu...... Including His Royal Highness the King of Wei ......"
King Wei raised his hand and removed the ink-colored diamond jade crown that bound his hair from the bun, threw it to the ground, and took out the jade seal of Weiguo from his arms, threw it to Shu'er, and said: "There is no King Wei, only the island owner of Xuanji Island of the Zhuge family of Chuyue, Zhuge has escaped. ”
Shu'er looked at the white hair between her father's sideburns, and when she was full of emotion, the hand holding the reins was already slightly relaxed.
Zhuge fled and spurred his horse into the city, and a hundred elite soldiers of the country also rode their horses to follow.
Everyone took a shortcut to enter from the north gate of the jade capital, and then went out from the south gate. All the way to the south, non-stop, a few days later, has arrived at the junction of Qishu Xiling ancient ice cliff......
Beyond the ancient ice cliff, it is a disaster and cold pool that freezes every three years. The cold pool is frozen, so you can walk through.
In less than three years, this winter, the disaster water and cold pool did not freeze.
Zhuge Escape naturally knows that this road is dangerous, but this is the shortest road from Dongyang to Xiling of Shu Kingdom, even if the disaster water and cold pool do not freeze, even if he wants to step on the head of the person who fell into the cold pool to cross this place, he has to go.
Small, it was I who mistakenly raised you into a glorious and righteous person! You only know Wen Taowu strategy, only know benevolence and generosity, but you don't know the darkness of the world, and you don't know the unpredictable hearts of people!
Zhuge escaped and lifted his spirit, flying past the shoulders and heads of one after another patriotic soldiers who were mired in the quagmire......
******
At the foot of the Xiling Peerless Peak, the 120,000 Rong people of the Sixth Division of the Wolf Division have surrounded the peak mountain where the Peerless Peak is located, and the water is impassable, like an iron bucket.
Yesterday, the Qi army came to help, wanting to make a hole in the "iron bucket" to help the Song army break through, but unexpectedly, the Song army's combat strength was extremely poor and it was impossible to break through at all. The deeper the hole the Qi army made in the "iron bucket", the deeper it sank. At all costs, the Rong people and wolf division drove the Qi army into the mountains and forests.
The Qi army and the Song army met in the siege of the Rong people and wolf divisions, and the king of Qi, Liu, asked the generals of the Song state: "Where is His Royal Highness the King of Song?" ”
General Lu Hui of the Xiaoxiao Camp of the Song Kingdom hurriedly saluted the king of Qi, and said dejectedly: "Back to His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the king knows that he is not defeated by the wolf master of the Rong people, and he is ashamed, and he is already disheartened...... He didn't want to see the 50,000 soldiers of our Song Kingdom die tragically in front of him...... Before leaving, he said that he had no heirs, and if His Royal Highness the King of Qi could be lucky enough to fight his way out of the siege and come to the Song Kingdom, he would have to rely on the talents of His Royal Highness the King of Qi. The king and the people of the Song Kingdom should be grateful. ”
Liu hurriedly grabbed Lu Hui's shoulders: "Where did you King Song go?" How could he leave the 50,000 soldiers of the Song State alone? ”
Lu Hui turned his head to look at the peerless peak: "The king, he ...... I went to the peerless peak alone. He said that perhaps only in this way can he get closer to the heavenly immortals, and his prayer may be fulfilled. ”
