Chapter 11: The Alliance of Qi Yan
Qi Yan.
This is a city located at the southern end of the Song Kingdom, the people in the city can be regarded as a long time to see, a nobleman who can not be seen at all on weekdays gathered in this city, there are dozens of princes alone, the Qing doctor walks all over the ground, and the Yuan Shi is even more than a dog.
Needless to say, this was definitely the largest alliance of the princes in twenty years.
Luo Su arrived relatively early, Song Gongshuang came to greet him in person, and Song Gongshuang smiled while the two walked: "Hundreds of princes gathered, and the princes followed one after another. ”
Luo Su also smiled: "The princes and nobles are willing to participate in the alliance, which means that they still obey the system of Bang Zhou, which is a fortunate thing, presumably King Qin's righteous act, no one will refuse." ”
Song Gongshuang felt that Luo Su had undergone some changes, and when the two of them walked together before, he could see that Luo Su was a little hesitant in his heart, but now he seemed to have figured out something, giving people a sense of open-mindedness.
One after another, the princes came to Qiyan one after another, and Song Gongshuang sent ministers of different levels to greet the princes in full accordance with Zhou etiquette.
The princes stationed their troops in the camp that had been allocated for them by the Song state, and entered the city with their close ministers and some personal guards to meet the Marquis of Qi.
When the Marquis of Qi led many vassals to arrive, this rare grand meeting officially began, and the princes sat down according to their titles, bloodlines, and merits.
There are three people sitting at the top, and the center is naturally Song Gongshuang, he is the princes, dukes, and hosts of Zhendong who were ordered by the king, and his status is the most respected, and he sits on the right hand of the Marquis of Qi, at this time he is respected by the right, he is the current abbot, and he should naturally be on the right, and the left hand is Luo Su, after King Su, he has served as the third prince for many years.
When the sound of the chimes sounded, the banquet before the alliance officially began, and the historians sent from Luoyi sat behind the pillars to prepare for the record, and the princes and kings of the princes and states also brought the historians to the scene.
Before the banquet, as the host, Song Gongshuang held up the bronze drinking vessel and said: "Heaven and earth have four poles, so the Son of Heaven guards it with four princes, and the Son of Heaven does not discriminate because he is born alone.
Since obeying the king's orders and serving as the princes of Zhendong, Lone has always been worried that he will not be able to repay the king's grace, and he has done things tremblingly and walking on thin ice, for fear that something will go wrong. Today, the clan relatives and nobles of the alliance will not hide their faces and leave.
Lone summoned the princes with the king's order, and the princes responded in groups, which is not to value Lonely, but to obey the king's orders, all the princes are loyal ministers of Bang Zhou, and Lone will use this wine to pay tribute to all loyal ministers. ”
At these words, even Luo Su felt quite level, and a happy smile naturally appeared on his face, and he also raised his glass and said: "What Song Gong said is extremely true, cut into the lonely heart, don't mention the old things of Yin Shang, we are all loyal ministers of Bang Zhou, and we should work together in the future to ensure that Bang Zhou's Zhaozhao destiny lasts forever." ”
The princes swore one after another, and the banquet became lively in an instant, and all the historians began to record this important scene, and nearly a hundred princes swore together, and they had written the words "Qiyan Alliance" in the history books.
The princes of the alliance did not realize the importance, but Ji Zhao noticed this alliance through the sudden and rapid increase in luck points.
The banquet continued, and the princes took this opportunity to contact, and even the princes with different surnames could talk about a few marriages, and the three people on the table also began to discuss in a low voice.
Luo Su and Song Gongshuang both have a lot of old times in Wang Ji, so they can get first-hand news, especially Luo Su and the ally of Hanhou, so Ji Wan's actions are almost clear.
Luo Su first said: "The six armies in Luoyi have set off in batches, and the two forward armies are the first to act, recruiting the vassal states along the way to prepare grain and grass, as well as a resting place for the army.
There are more than a dozen vassal states between Luoyi and Chu, basically all of them are the countries of Zinan, and there are also Nanban tribes, but they shouldn't, and they may temporarily avoid to the west or south.
According to the time when the news came, at this time, the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven should have all crossed the river and headed for the Han River. ”
Qi Hou muttered after a long battle: "The army of the Son of Heaven has come from afar, and normally it should be repaired for a short period of time, which means that it should not be able to fight for at least half a month.
Moreover, the size of the armies of the two sides is so large, and the south is not as many plains as the Central Plains, the transportation is convenient and easy to command, and it can even accommodate hundreds of thousands of people to fight, so the biggest possibility is that the two sides will have a small battle, so that the battle line will be longer, and the war will be longer. ”
In the end, Qi Hou came to his own conclusion, "This great battle between Wang Shang and Xiong Dun will not end in a short time, and we may need to delay the alliance by attacking the Dongyi tribe." ”
Qi Hou was talking about his guess about the battle situation based on his own experience, but he didn't see Luo Su's face getting more and more ugly, Song Gongshuang noticed it and said, "Qi Hou, Luo Hou seems to have something to say. ”
Luo Su has always had an ominous premonition in his heart, as his uncle analyzed the development of the battle situation, that kind of ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, seeing that Song Gongshuang and his uncle were looking at him, he forcibly suppressed his voice and asked: "Uncle, if it is, just hypothetical, if the Son of Heaven does not wait for the army to repair, or forcibly deploys the army in hilly areas and areas with many rivers, what will happen?" ”
Hearing Luo Su's question, Qi Hou was stunned, and didn't think much about it at all, and said directly: "If King Wu and King Su are alive, they may be able to win, but in Gu's view, there is no life, and once the situation collapses, it is extremely terrible, the best way is to run away as soon as possible, and then find a way to collect the remnants of the army, in order to plan for the future." ”
Speaking of this, Qi Hou asked with a look of disbelief: "The Son of Heaven shouldn't be so unwise, even if he doesn't understand it himself, as long as there are people around him who understand military affairs, it is not too difficult to adopt the advice after it." It's because you're too worried. ”
At this time, even Song Gongshuang said a little helplessly: "Qi Hou, you may not understand your son-in-law, if you don't become a martial artist, it's not a big deal, his biggest problem is that he is stubborn and self-serving, and he doesn't have a clear understanding of himself, otherwise there is Luohou, the great man of the country, who is in charge of the government, how can such a ridiculous thing happen." ”
The three of them fell into silence in an instant, and finally Luo Su broke the silence, gritted his teeth and said: "Now I just hope that we are all thinking nonsense, I hope that things have not reached an irreparable matter, and Lone will never allow any turmoil in Bangzhou's society!" ”
