Chapter 390: The War of the Nations
readx;
After Yan Yingying left, she returned shortly after, this time bringing forty or fifty small boats, ready to escort the captives back to the Kingdom of Mino. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info came with her, as well as the monarchs and ministers of the Tamna Kingdom.
The lord of Tamna was a short fat man, standing trembling in front of Tian Bule, he didn't feel like a lord of a country, but a subordinate of Tian Bule.
Tian Bule sighed, the rules of the world are like this, the weak eat the strong, and small countries can only be at the mercy of dolls in front of big countries. The Tamna Kingdom also has no choice of its own, and the Yan Kingdom threatens it, and the Tamna Kingdom will fall to the Yan Kingdom. Now that the kingdom of Yan has failed, the kingdom of Tamna has come to visit him like a willow in the wind.
Tian Bule did not punish the Tamna Kingdom too much, he handed over the prisoners of war and the Tamna Kingdom to Yan Yingying to deal with, leaving Yan Yingying's 500-strong Qi Army Guards to be stationed in the Tamna Kingdom, so that Jeju, Yingzhou and Yizhou were trained into a line, including the entire East China Sea.
After dealing with these things, Tian Bule asked the fleet to return on the shortest route. Because he had already heard that the situation in the Central Plains had changed dramatically again. In addition to the spoils of Yizhou and Wa on the returning ship, there were also a large number of materials donated by the Yamatai and Tamna countries, and this expedition can be said to be fully loaded.
There were no more obstacles along the way, and no one dared to try to intercept Tabura's fleet.
Half a month later, Tian Bule stood on the boat and saw the coastline, and couldn't help but get excited, and finally returned to the country of Qi after more than three months.
Closer and closer to the coast, the crowd of people greeting the shore could already be seen, and the soldiers on board gave excited cheers.
Tian Bule couldn't help but feel excited, surrounded by the sea, as long as the mainland can give people a sense of steadiness.
In addition to Princess Qian, Wu Yanfang and other women, there were also Li Si, Yuanzong and other cronies.
As soon as Tian Bule got off the boat, Princess Qian threw herself into his arms like a swallow. Tian Bule and the girls hugged one by one, and then boarded the ship together, ready to return to the Qi country.
After pacifying the women, Tian Bule immediately summoned Li Si and Yuanzong to ask about the situation in the world.
Before Li Si could sit down, he said, "Your Majesty, the situation in the world is even more sinister for us. "
Tian Bule was also anxious in his heart, and said, "Tell me quickly, how did Xinlingjun and them fail?"
Li Si was slightly surprised by Tian Bule's unpredictable prophet, he finally saw the wind and waves, and said, "King, the coalition army is absolutely unreliable!"
It turned out that the five-nation alliance led by Xinlingjun broke the Qin army at the beginning and broke through the Hangu Pass. However, the alliance of the Five Nations later squeezed out Xinlingjun in order to compete for the spoils of war. Xinling Jun was angry, and he became ill from overwork, and he couldn't afford to get sick. He was forced to cede the position of the Five Powers Alliance to Pang Nuan of Zhao, and as a result, the Five Nations Alliance was lured deep by the Qin army and was defeated. The commander of the coalition army, Pang Nuan, was also killed, and the coalition army fled in embarrassment. After the defeat of the Five-Nation Alliance, they were chased all the way by the Qin army and expelled from Hangu Pass. The coalition army was 500,000 people, and only 100,000 escaped from the Qin state.
Tian Bule gasped, he had lost so many people, with the Qin army's consistent style of treating prisoners, those who fell into the hands of the Qin army must have died for life.
Yuanzong followed Li Si to the coalition army, and he had long known this result, recalling: "I only knew when I went to the battlefield how humble an individual's life was inside. Thousands of soldiers had their necks cut off, their hands and feet fell to the ground, and the blood that flowed gathered into a stream and even their shields floated. I have always hoped that the world can be loved, but on the battlefield I know how far human cruelty can go. ”
Tian Bule said: "Then what are the countries going to do now?"
Li Si sighed and said, "It's still going its own way." After the failure of the joint attack of the five countries against Qin, the countries competed to sue for peace with Qin. Xin Lingjun was seriously ill for many days, and after this defeat, he was bedridden after returning to Daliang. I asked the doctor who treated him, and I am afraid that Xinlingjun's time is running out. The minister was in the coalition army, but he did nothing, and asked the king to punish him. "
Tian Bule comforted: "Even Xinlingjun can't control the coalition army, you are just a subordinate minister, what is at fault." This time, you sent an envoy to the coalition army for the Qi country, no matter what, you have made a great contribution, I will remember it. "
Li Si didn't expect the failure of the coalition this time, Tian Bule not only did not punish him, but also rewarded him, and he was moved to the ground.
Tian Bule asked him to get up, and said quietly: "Yuanzong, Li Si, we don't have much time. "
Li Si couldn't understand why he couldn't hear it, and continued: "King, there is another news recently. In order to sue for peace with Qin, Zhao was ready to offer the Heshi Bi, and the other four kingdoms were also ready to offer their respective treasures to Qin. The state of Qin and the other five kingdoms will hold an alliance near Handan in the state of Zhao, and the king of Qin will also participate in the time. "
Tian Bule was surprised: "Zhao Guo is willing to hand over He's Bi to Qin Guo"
He's Bi is the national treasure of Zhao, after King Zhao Huiwen got it, King Qin Zhao was even willing to exchange fifteen cities for "He's Bi". Lin Xiangru, the famous Xiangguo of Zhao, took He's Bi to Qin, and saw that the King of Qin would not really give fifteen cities, so he secretly sent Heshibi back to Zhao. As a result, the relationship between Qin and Zhao became even worse.
Li Si said with disdain in his mouth: "Zhao State is already a big tree that is about to die, first the defeat of Changping, and the heaviest loss in the Five Nations Alliance this time is Zhao State. If it weren't for the heavy losses of the Qin State this time, maybe the Zhao State would have been destroyed in one go. What does the king think?"
Tian Bule pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see what happens in this matter." Now the world is chaotic enough. "
Li Si looked at the ships with a deep draft and said, "King, you have reaped so much loot. "
Tian Bule smiled and said, "It's just a convenient way, I didn't expect those rich people to be so generous." This time, the soldiers who followed me, each of them were given a first-class title, and those who had military merits were rewarded and punished according to the standards of military merit, and the standard was best according to the military merit system of the Qin State, and even nobles without military merits could not have any rewards. Commoners were given a pot of wine and a liter of rice to each household. By the way, each soldier was given a solid gold medal of honor as a special reward for their participation in this expedition. "
"Medal"
While feeling sorry for the treasury, Li Si wondered, "What is that?"
Tian Bule remembered that there was no such thing in this era, so he talked about the shape and function of the medal.
Li Si was a very clever person, and immediately understood his intentions, and said: "The king's idea is really brilliant, I will immediately order someone to rush to control it when I go back." "
Tian Bule then turned to Yuanzong and asked, "After I left, did the ministers in the court move?"
Yuanzong shook his head and said, "Our people who stayed in Linzi monitored those old parties in Tiandan day and night, and did not find any movements that were unfavorable to the king. ”
Tian Bule couldn't help frowning, Yan Dan had been able to know his whereabouts many times, it was obvious that he was a traitor in Qi State, and if he didn't find out this traitor, he would feel like he was stuck in his throat.
Li Si suggested, "Great King, do you want to extend the scope of surveillance to all the courtiers?"
Tian Bule waved his hand and said, "Forget it." This matter will be planned when we return to Linzi. ”
Five days later, Tian Bule and the others finally returned to Linzi. Looking for the dragon of Qin to rule the world
