Chapter 197: Caught in a Dilemma
After the Hundred Tribes Army converged with the army that came to support, Shi Wang looked for Ning Zeqing's figure in the crowd.
Although the war is temporarily suspended at this time, it cannot be taken lightly, Ning Zeqing's sick and weak body, if there is another accident, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand it.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the last general is too late to save you, are you damaged?"
General Jian drove a fast horse to Shi Wang, and the surprise on his face could not be faked.
This time, the one who came to support with the Mifeng Army was the Feng Xian Army, who won the championship of the race soldiers.
When Shi Wang saw him coming, he hurriedly asked, "Where is General Ning, who has traveled so long to come, can he commit his old illness?" ”
General Jian was stunned for a while, and then explained to her: "This time, the Mifeng Army only borrowed troops to come, and General Ning Zeqing did not accompany him. I came with two teams of soldiers and horses. ”
Shi Wang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”
General Jian looked at Shi Wang's sudden face, a little puzzled.
In fact, he still didn't say anything, Qi Ping borrowed the general's seal to send a letter back to Beijing, but King Zhengwang thought that this matter was strange, and wanted to wait for the news to be clear before making the next plan.
Although his troops were limited, General Jian did not want to put Shi Wang in danger. But above the court, no one dared to respond to this matter, and they were unwilling to act against the king's will. Only General Ning Zeqing was willing to lend troops and horses to let General Jian lead the way, and he himself, knowing his health, did not come.
Today, inside and outside the walls of the Chenguo Palace, the two forces are evenly matched.
General Qin's way of leading troops, Shi Wang once understood, although he won the other party, but it does not mean that he has no military talent, on the contrary, this person has a strange mind, very people can understand, and it is really difficult to be an enemy of him. Moreover, the place of war is located on the border of the Chen Kingdom, which can be regarded as having the advantage of terrain, and it is even more difficult to defeat them.
On the attacking side, there is General Jian, who has a strong army, and Shi Wang, who deals with the affairs of the hundred clans, plus the Mifeng army, which can also be said to be a strong alliance. In the face of the enemy's heavy troops, it is not inferior.
The two sides looked at each other from a distance, but no one played for a long time.
A few days later, a red list was posted on the wall of Chenguo, announcing the new king's accession to the throne.
Shi Wang and the others have not experienced the incident, I don't know what the reason is, if they know a thing or two, they can guess that this is General Qin supporting his puppet king.
If the king of the prophets is disobedient, then he will set up an obedient, allied nation, and what is needed is obedient.
General Qin has always done things so quickly as he wants.
After posting the red list, General Qin stood on the city wall, full of spring breeze pride, and said to the people opposite: "Today, I, Qin, have something good to do, and I have come to have fun with you." There are so many of you, and you've been here long enough, so it's time to go back and report to your son. Remember to tell him for me that this is just a small step in the plan, even if you don't destroy the Hundred Clans Army, there will be opportunities in the future. You'd better go back and get ready. There is still a lot of hard work in the future. ”
General Qin laughed and walked away, and the faces of Shi Wang and General Jian became more and more ugly.
It is indeed not a way to continue in such a stalemate, but there is no clever plan to defeat the enemy. If it's just a brute fight, I'm afraid that both sides will lose.
And listening to him, his intentions for Zi Raid are not so simple, and there must be a back-up move.
Now, they can only retreat to the sub-attack and make plans early to see which other ethnic countries are related to them.
In this way, I am afraid that there will be many tough battles to be fought in the future.
With a lot of doubts, Shi Wang and General Jian returned to the court the next day, and they will do things after making a decision.
Above the government and the opposition, the news brought back by Shi Wang and General Jian shocked the government and the opposition, and all the ministers were shocked by the fact that Chen and his family joined forces, intending to be unfavorable to the army of the hundred tribes.
King Zheng originally thought it was a misreport of the military situation, but now it seems that it is even more serious than he imagined.
"When the Hundred Ethnic Army was established, it was originally intended to help resolve disputes between the nations, but I didn't expect that this Chen and the two countries not only did not appreciate it, but also took revenge, which is really chilling."
"All countries put profit first, and since there is a loss of the other party's interests, it is naturally difficult to protect their dissatisfaction."
"In the final analysis, this matter is all caused by the Hundred Tribes Army. If this matter can be resolved, it will surely be possible to restore a friendly alliance with the two countries. ”
"A friendly alliance? Is it too comfortable for adults to come up with such a way to lose their prestige and seek peace? ”
"Is it possible that the alliance with the nations will still be broken by the development of events?"
……
The ministers quarreled fiercely.
Wenchen attributed this matter to the Hundred Tribes Army, and even had the idea of disbanding the Hundred Tribes Army, while the military generals thought that the enemy was too deceitful to lead to such an outcome.
Shi Wang, as the chief general of the Hundred Tribes Army, was pushed to the forefront for a while.
General Qin spoke in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, that General Qin is still unknown, and the forces behind him are not so simple. Listen to him, they are more than an alliance between the two countries. The urgent task at the moment is to find out those ethnic countries that have betrayed the covenant of the hundred clans and turned against each other, so as to take precautions. ”
Ning Zeqing also said: "This matter is not the fault of the Hundred Tribes Army, just because of this, the Hundred Tribes Army was disbanded, which is indeed a bit excessive." But it must not be accidental that those ethnic countries are united, and there are people behind this matter. Your Majesty, now that it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me among the hundred tribes, you should be cautious, and don't be careless. ”
The king thought for a while, and said, "Since these clans have been premeditated, I am afraid that they have already made some moves. Passing on my will, from now on, all border gates will strengthen their defense and protection, and no suspicious person will be allowed to enter. Trade places should be on guard to prevent people from causing trouble. All foreigners who are already in the country shall be registered, and there shall be no omission. ”
As soon as this order was given, the middle of the country suddenly became nervous, and the people's hearts panicked for a while, and the army of the hundred clans of Shiwang was at the top of the list.
Most of the people in the army of the hundred tribes are people from other ethnic countries, and this time they are on guard, and they are subject to many investigations.
Not only will everyone's ancestral home and life history be re-registered, but the soldiers are also subject to layers of interrogation when they go out, and there are many inconveniences and unspeakable.
In this way, there is much more dissent in the military than elsewhere.
They joined the army to fight for Zi Raid, and now they are suspected by Zi Raid, so they are naturally dissatisfied.
Shi Wang was already in a quagmire, and the declining morale in the army made her even more anxious, and it was an indisputable fact that foreigners were suspicious, and she was irrefutable.
She also has a greater pressure, that is, as the commander of the Hundred Clans Army, if she can't prove her innocence, the suspicion she carries is too heavy, and it will not have a good impact on her.
Asking for help, although Qi Ping overstepped his position, the king still didn't believe what he said, and only agreed to send troops at the insistence of General Jian, which means that the king has doubts about Shi Wang.
The suspicion of a king is always the most terrible.
