Chapter 574: Entering the King's City
"It's rubbish, 20,000 people can't even stop 10,000." Mang Mao scolded, and pointed at Juan unwillingly and said, "How about we attack this Qin army first? After defeating this Qin army, we will level the Qin army's camp."
"Both your and my armies have been through great battles, and this is the end of the crossbow. Although this Qin army had also fought just now, its combat effectiveness was not damaged. Even if we can take it, we won't have the strength to attack the camp after that." Lecheng shook his head.
If you can capture the Qin army camp, it is worth overdrawing some vitality and taking some risks. But if it is just to defeat a Qin *** regiment, then forget it, Zhao Ren's life is still very valuable.
Before coming, Le Yi also told him to focus on preserving his own strength, and the second thing was to weaken the strength of the Qin State.
Although Qin was Zhao's biggest enemy, as long as there were Han and Wei in between, Qin could not really threaten Zhao.
"In that case, let's retreat." Mang Mao sighed, and He Lecheng turned around and walked towards the royal city.
"Thank you generals for coming thousands of miles to the rescue!" The Duke of Western Zhou came to the outside of the city as early as when the Qin army was defeated and retreated, and when he saw Le Cheng and others, he was extremely excited, and led a group of ministers to greet him excitedly.
"I've seen the Duke of Western Zhou." Le Cheng bowed, and looked at the back of the Duke of Zhou in the West a little strangely, but did not see the King of Zhou.
However, Le Cheng didn't bother with this matter, he didn't have any special feelings for King Zhou, it was just a little strange, after all, King Zhou was also the nominal Son of Heaven no matter what, and it stands to reason that he was going to come forward at this time.
"The widow has prepared a banquet in the city, and a reward has been prepared for the soldiers. Ask the general to mount and enter the city." The Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty bowed and stepped forward to hold the reins, which meant to be happy to ride the horse and hold the whip.
Le Cheng was shocked and didn't even dare to say it.
Since ancient times, there have been ministers who lead horses for the monarch, and there are also monarchs who show favor to lead horses for ministers.
But there has never been a monarch who leads a horse and whips a general of other countries, and he and the Duke of Western Zhou are not monarchs and ministers, so it will not be good if it arouses the suspicion of King Zhao.
Zhao Guo is very good, King Zhao treats him very well, he has no idea of leaving Zhao Guo at all.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he leaves Zhao State and finds another old club, it is impossible to find the Western Zhou Kingdom without any future.
Seeing that Lecheng insisted on refusing, the Duke of Western Zhou had no choice but to give up, and sighed deeply in his heart.
He actually didn't mean to dig into the corner of Zhao Kuo's wall, he just wanted to make friends with Lecheng.
Zhou Guo is bitter, there is a wolf's den in front and a tiger's mouth in the back, I thought that no matter what, in the name of the co-lord of the world, no country would dare to really attack Zhou Tianzi.
But the reality told him that Zhou Tianzi was nothing in front of the Qin State, and the Qin State would not care if you were the Son of Heaven or not, saying that if you send troops to destroy you, you will destroy you.
However, Zhou Guo did not have any ability to resist.
The voice of invective was so pale and powerless in front of the Qin army's armor.
Zhao is the only powerful country in the world that can contend with and even defeat Qin for a time, and it is the head of the Three Jin Dynasty, and Zhou wants to survive under Qin's troops. can only hug Zhao Guo's thigh.
Soon, the army entered the royal city.
"Your Majesty." An old minister walked over and looked at the Duke of Western Zhou with a wry smile.
"What is the old gentleman looking for?" Duke Xi Zhou asked with a smile, he was still immersed in the joy of defeating the Qin army, as for the little episode just now, it had long been left behind.
"We thought that the reinforcements were only from Zhao State, and the silk and wine and food were all prepared according to 10,000 people, who ......knows," the old minister leaned over the ear of the Duke of Western Zhou and whispered.
When the Duke of Western Zhou heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he was so happy that he almost forgot about it.
This is not a trivial matter, and if one is not handled well, it will offend the three countries together.
"Is there anything that can be done?" Western Zhou Gong asked.
"At this time, there are only two ways, either not give all the feasts, or give all the feasts." Lao Chen said.
"The widow has just spoken of the feast and the reward, and has spoken of the second way." Duke Xi Zhou said decisively.
"Lending money to the rich in the city, lowering the standard of feasts and rewards
Accurately, I should be barely able to make up for it." Lao Chen said.
"Hurry up." Xi Zhou Gong waved his hand and said, there is no other way at this time, but to try his best to save.
I knew that the three Jin Dynasty would come to reinforce the army, and if I didn't give it to my mother, it was better than now.
"No." The old minister leaned over and said.
"Everyone, please enter the palace with the widow, the banquet is ready." Xi Zhou Gong turned his head and said with a smile, but his smile was a little bitter.
Everyone had just won a big victory, and they all relaxed, Mang Mao and Storm Luan grabbed Le Cheng to persuade them to drink, and the three of them were too lazy to use their internal qi to get rid of the alcohol, and they were all drunk.
Before Le Cheng fell asleep, he grabbed Jia Yan's arm and told him to set up city defenses to prevent the Qin army from sneaking attack.
Jia Yan sent Le Cheng back to the room, took his personal guards around, and saw that all the Qin troops were cowering in the camp without any abnormality, before returning.
After washing, Jia Yan dismissed the maid arranged for him by the Duke of Western Zhou, and just wanted to go to bed, the guard reported outside the door, "General, General Mangmao wants to see?"
"Mangmao? Isn't he drunk? Let him come." Jia Yan frowned slightly, he was very familiar with Mang Mao, Mang Mao was the commander of the Wei army in the Battle of Huayang, and he was not talented, he was the commander of the Zhao army!
At that time, Zhao and Wei were competing for the alliance leader, and Zhao was strong, but Wei relied on the fan seat and could always suppress Zhao at critical moments, resulting in not so friendly relations between the two countries.
However, after being defeated by Bai Qi, the two were both fallen people at the end of the world, and the relationship gradually began to warm up and became sympathetic.
"I haven't seen you for many years, but the general's demeanor is still the same." Mang Mao stepped into the camp tent and said with a smile.
"I'm a lieutenant, where does I come from? General Mang is the real style." Jia Yan sighed.
"What did the general say, who doesn't know that there are many famous generals in Zhao State, and it is already remarkable that the general can be among them. On the other hand, in my Wei country, talents are withering, and even a defeated general like me can stand on top of the temple." Mang Mao also sighed deeply.
"General Mang, if you have something to say, let's just say it, this is not General Mang's style." Jia Yan glanced at Mang Mao.
"Okay, General Jia Yan is refreshing, then I can say it bluntly if I have something to say, now Zhao Guo is in charge of the food and salary of my Three Kingdoms army, I don't know if the grain and grass are sufficient?" Mang Mao asked.
"Don't worry about the matter of grain and grass, my Zhao State can deliver grain and grass all the way to the royal city from the river and Luoshui, and the Qin State water army is weak and cannot pose a threat to the grain road." Jia Yan said.
With only 30,000 people of grain and grass for use, if there are 300,000 people, Zhao Guo may have to think of a way.
"What if you add the Qin prisoners?" Mang Mao asked.
In this battle, the Sanjin Dynasty captured more than 20,000 Qin troops, and if it weren't for the defeat on the side, Wang Ji returned to the camp in time, and there would have been more prisoners.
