Since the edict was issued, there has been no peace in the capital of Ho, and Queen Shen Jiang sent someone to contact Luo Cheng, and he sent someone to reply to the queen that she should not be impatient.

Shen Jiang's fate depends on her father's actions, and if Shen Hou really colludes with the Xirong tribe to invade Hojing, then she will die.

What difference does it make if you see it now and you don't see it?

Wang Ji's edict and Luo Cheng's letter went to the hands of the various princes one after the other.

……

Shen was the first prince to receive the news of the queen's deposition.

In the entire Shen Kingdom, up to Shenhou and down to the doctor, no one dared to believe the news in front of them.

People are self-aware.

The monarchs and ministers of the Shen State were very self-aware, they knew their weight very well, and they knew their importance to Wang Ji.

Therefore, even if Ji Ne exiled Prince Yi to Shen Kingdom, they just thought that Ji Ne did not like the prince and did not want to see the prince.

This is not important to Shen Guo, as long as Ji Yi can finally become the Son of Heaven after Ji Ne's death.

No one thought that the crown prince would be deposed.

Genie is crazy?

How dare he?

Didn't anyone advise the princes and ministers of Fengho Wangji?

Don't they know how powerful Sijon is?

One question after another lingered in the minds of all the nobles of the Shen Kingdom.

In fact, Wang Ji's ministers knew the importance of Shen Guo, but they were not so clear.

Because Wang Ji has not fought with the Northwest Rong tribe for many years, no one knows the specific strength of Xirong.

Only a few people can tell from the goods traded between the two sides every year that the population of Xijon has grown greatly, which means that Xijon's strength has made great progress.

Shen Guo's bargaining chip was to hold Rong to gain self-respect, but Xirong did not show off his force to Wang Ji for too long, which indirectly led to this ending.

I don't know whether to say that Shen Guo's shield is doing well, or whether to say that the collective death of the previous group of virtuous ministers has done too much damage to the ability of Wang Ji's high-level officials.

Although the high-level officials of Shen Guo were a little incredulous, after the early years of conquest, Shen Guo had long been guarding against Bang Zhou Wangji.

Now that there is a special situation, Shen Hou immediately asked: "Zhongqing, the Son of Heaven has openly trampled on the patriarchal law of Bang Zhou and humiliated my Shen Guo, what should Lone do?" ”

What else can be done?

To teach him a lesson, of course.

This is the idea in the minds of all the ministers of the Shen State.

A secretary came out of the column and said proudly: "My lord."

If the Son of Heaven abolishes his ancestors and openly tramples on the patriarchal system formulated by his ancestors, can God tolerate such behavior?

In the past, it was King Xianxuan who made a covenant with all the ministers and ministers to ask me to marry a noble daughter, but now they are treacherous, shouldn't they be punished?

Shen Guo is a strong branch of Zhuxia, and he has served the Son of Heaven respectfully for two hundred years, but he has been insulted like this, who can tolerate it?

The minister sees that the Son of Heaven Nirvana is a monarch like Ji Xuan, a person like Li Huang who will bring disaster to the country, and the lord can raise an army to crusade against such an unrighteous monarch, even the heavens will favor you. ”

Shen Hou doubted: "Hojing is the place where the king lives, the city wall is high and big, and there is the army of the Son of Heaven to protect it, can the army of Shen Guo break through Hojing?" ”

Another secretary came out and said, "My lord."

Your in-law is the king of Sijon, so you might as well write to him and use his forces to break through Hokyo and rescue the queen.

Let Ji Nie pass the throne to the crown prince, and you can stay in the capital of Ho to assist the government, so that you can create the same deeds as Yi Yin and Su Wang. ”

Shenhou thought of Xirong's powerful troops, and immediately smiled: "It is worthy of being the minister that Gu relies on the most, what you said is exactly what Gu should do." ”

So he directly sent an envoy with gold, silver and jewels to Xirong to borrow troops, and promised the lord of the dog Rong that after breaking through the capital of Ho, he would allow him to empty the treasury of the capital of Hao.

……

In the palace of the Lord of Sijon.

After reading the letter sent by Shen Hou, the lord of the dog Rong was very decisive, he had long wanted to use troops against Bang Zhou, but Shen and Bang Zhou have always been united, and they have also eased the main battle faction within the Rong clan, which has caused him to have no chance.

Now that Shen Guo himself wants to use troops against Bang Zhou, he saw this great opportunity to enter the land of Feng Hao, so he directly called on the tribes of the Quartet to follow Shen Guo to raise troops.

……

By this time, countries had just received the news.

The Jin Kingdom, an influential country surnamed Ji closest to Hojing, will not lack his figure on the strategic planning map of Luohou in the past dynasties.

The Marquis of Jin first received Wang Ji's edict, and then received Luo Cheng's letter, and he was relatively clear about Wang Ji's current situation, he understood that the matter was critical, but he was still a little hesitant.

After all, King Qin needs an order from the Son of Heaven, and without the order of the Son of Heaven, if you rashly raise troops, who knows if you are a rebel.

Then he asked his relatives on the left and right: "Luo Houcheng sent a letter to Gu saying that after the abolition of the Son of Heaven, it will inevitably cause Shen Guo to rebel, and if Shen Guo rebels, Xirong's soldiers will inevitably follow."

Gu still believed Luo Hou Cheng's speculation, but in this letter, Luo Hou asked Gu to lead the army to the king.

The beacon fire in Lishan has not yet risen, and Lone is a little worried.

If Shenhou did not raise an army, and Lone led the army to Wangji, it would really be difficult to say, what do the ministers think of this matter? ”

Wei Qing, who the Marquis of Jin relied on the most, saw that the Marquis of Jin wanted to go to King Qin in his heart, and after a little thought, a smile appeared on his face, and he came out and said: "My lord, the minister just saw Luohou's letter and stamped his letter.

Luohou is the great Zongzheng, and the Zhou rites stipulate that the Dazong has the right to call on the princes surnamed Ji.

With this letter, the lord is acting according to the system, even if the Son of Heaven asks, it can be said that the great sect is summoning the concubines, and you are not at fault. ”

"Dazong Zheng still has the power to call on the princes surnamed Ji? Why hasn't Lone heard of it? ”

The Marquis of Jin really didn't know, Wei Qing said with a smile: "For more than two hundred years, Dazong Zheng has always been in the hands of the Luo family, and the successive generations of Luo Hou have treated the king respectfully and have never used this power.

Therefore, not many people know about it, and the minister also saw it by chance.

But in "Zhou Li", Da Zongzheng is indeed given this power, so the lord is the king of Qin, and there is no risk. ”

The Marquis of Jin said happily: "Quickly take the "Zhou Li" and give it a lonely look." ”

"Zhou Li" is vast, Wei Qing said the number of volumes it belongs to, and waited until the waiter took it and took a look, and sure enough, there was this one.

"Providence!"

The Marquis of Jin put down the bamboo slip in his hand and laughed loudly: "Zhongqing, the whole army, King Qin!" ”

With the order of the Marquis of Jin, the eyes of everyone in the hall lit up.

King Qin!

No prince could refuse the temptation of King Qin, and the last time King Qin, who was also led by Luohou, the Jin Kingdom got countless benefits.

Now among all the countries surnamed Ji, only the Luo Kingdom can be compared with the Jin Kingdom.

But Luo Guo cares too much about his identity after King Su, and he respects the king too much, and the growth of his strength can no longer keep up with the Jin Kingdom.

The courtiers also have a light in their eyes, if they make great contributions to King Qin, can they become princes?

Even if you can't take such a big credit, it is a big deal for the family to be able to follow the Marquis of Jin to get a great credit.

The war machine of the Jin Kingdom began to work.

……

The messenger was still delivering news to the four directions, and many of the princes scattered around Feng Ho had received the news, some trusted Luo Hou's prestige and decisively sent troops, and some were still waiting for the beacon fire of Jingli Mountain.

Shen Guo and King Rong had already completed their army and were heading towards Hojing, and they were going down the Jingshui with great speed.

Although the Rong people are despised by Zhuxia, in fact, they are not very backward now, but their culture is completely different, and their hairstyles and clothes are different.

King Rong and Shenhou stayed together, looked at the boundless army and said with a smile: "King Shen, you should have been like this a long time ago, the Zhou people occupy the most fertile land, but they are extremely weak, this is unreasonable. ”

Shenhou was a little disdainful in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Since the time of King Su, the countries of Zhuxia have always believed in the mandate of heaven, and Zhou Tianzi represents the mandate of heaven, and now it is Zhou Tianzi who is at fault, so Lone will lead a large army to crusade against him." ”

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he had the prince in his hand, Shenhou would not have considered attacking Hojing at all.

After the successive defeats at the end of King Xuan, coupled with the messing around of Ji Ne and the princes of Jinai over the years, the power of Feng Ho Wang Ji is indeed a little empty.

But the power of the entire Zhuxia countries is not empty, and none of those vassal states are easy to mess with.

Once Zhou Tianzi lit the beacon fire and those princes came to King Qin, Shenhou knew that even if the two of them joined forces, they would not be opponents.

What he wants to do is to enter Hojing as soon as possible, kill Zhou Tianzi Ji Nie and the current crown prince Ji Fu, so that Ji Yi is the only heir to the throne.

He had in his hands the means to negotiate with the princes.

"King Rong, after you enter Haojing, the treasury is at your disposal, but the Zhou people can't kill it, otherwise those princes won't let us go."

Shenhou said with a solemn expression, this is a very important matter, if there is a lot of destruction in Hojing, the princes of Jinai will definitely not stand on their side at that time.

In case they escape with himefu, there will be trouble in the future.

A dark look flashed in King Rong's eyes, and then he laughed loudly: "King Shen, don't worry, the Rong people will always be your friends, and our friendship is more precious than gold." ”

The two people with ghosts in their hearts are quite affectionate in their words.

Naturally, such a large scale of the Shenrong coalition army could not hide from the beacon towers along the road, and clusters of wolf smoke lit up in the sky above the Sanhe Plain.

……

In Wang Ji, seeing the wolf smoke rising, the news that Shen Guo and the Rong people had entered the Kou came out, and there was an uproar.

Ji Nie was above the royal court, furious, and scolded Shen Hou: "Shen Hou is really a cheap thief, just like a weed in the ditch.

Shen Jiang slandered the widow, but the widow did not kill her, precisely because Shen Hou had a credit for resisting the dogs.

He was not grateful to repay the widow, but he joined the thieves to join the widow, and the widow would let him die without a place to be buried. ”

In recent years, there are not many loyal and righteous ministers in the royal court, and the virtuous ministers at the time of King Xuan died, and Ji Nie appointed ministers who could collect wealth for him and flatter him.

These people are fighting for power and profit, and in the face of Shen Rong's entry into the Kou, they are silent one by one.

Although Luo Cheng had already sentenced Ji Ne to death in his heart, he couldn't do nothing, just watched the soldiers of the dog Rong break through the pickaxe capital.

It must have been a human tragedy.

So he came out and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the Shenrong coalition army is about to enter the range of Wangji, and the top priority now is to resist the invasion of the Shenrong coalition army, as for the treatment of Shenhou, let's wait until the after." ”

Although Ji Ne didn't like Luo Cheng's disobedient courtiers, he knew very well in his heart that Luo Hou had been loyal to Bang Zhou in the past generations.

Now in this critical situation, we still have to listen to Luo Hou's opinion.

"Does Luo Hou have any good strategy to let Shen Rong's troops retreat? In the past, Luo Wengong was alone and said that he would retreat from Xiong Dun's soldiers, could it be that Luo Hou also had this ability? ”

"What kind of people are the ancestors, how can the ministers compare with the ancestors?

The minister wants to ask Duke Yu, in addition to the six armies of the Son of Heaven, how many soldiers can Wang Ji draw?

The minister also wants to ask the ministers and nobles, how many children are there in the miners? How many of them were brought to the pickaxe capital in time?

Is there a suitable general in the heart of the Son of Heaven? If not, let the ministers lead the troops. ”

The talents of the successive heads of the Luo family are all in the most important aspects of the rulers, such as governing the country, power struggles, and royal people.

There is not much involvement in military affairs, and among Luo Cheng's brothers, there is one who is quite talented in military affairs, but he has always stayed in Luo and guarded against Fang Guo in the east.

Luo Ben planned to transfer him when he got the power of Wang Ji and was ready to conquer the dog Rong.

I didn't expect Ji Ne to do this kind of thing and directly disrupt his plan.

Now we can only see if there are any generals in Wang Ji who can fight well.

Luo Cheng's allies are basically the princes of one side or the nobles who have been entrenched in Wangji for many years, these people are good at playing politics, but when it comes to fighting, it is good to be able to catch up with Luocheng.

After all, Luo Cheng's command is 80, the military force is 74, and the military strategy is 78, although he can't be a general in command, but there is no problem in being an ordinary general.

Luo Cheng's series of questions directly made Father Yu Shi stunned.

Seeing that Father Yu Shi was in a daze, Luo Cheng frowned and said, "Duke Yu, you are the third prince or the chief of heaven, don't you even know this?" ”

Father Yu Shi immediately jumped out and said, "Luo Hou Shenyan, how could Lone not know?

The Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven was rebuilt in a relatively short time, and now there should be about 30,000 people. ”

Thirty thousand?

"How can it be that there are only 30,000?"

Before Luo Cheng could speak, Ji Ne had already jumped up, "Isn't the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven seventy-five thousand?" ”

Father Yu Shi bowed down in fear and said: "Your Majesty, King Xuan has suffered several consecutive defeats in the past year, coupled with the frequent natural disasters in these years, which has emptied Wang Ji's treasury.

The number of vassals serving you is also seriously insufficient, and the vacancies in the Sixth Army have only been filled little by little over the years. ”

A cold light flashed in Luo Cheng's eyes, and Father Shi had the face to say such words.

Most of the Zhou people who directly served the Son of Heaven were very small vassals of the province and some assets at home, and many of these people went bankrupt directly after successive defeats at the end of King Xuan.

The estates of the vassals of the Son of Heaven were swallowed up by the princes of Kinai for money, and the people of the country were also included in their kingdoms, and the estates directly under the Son of Heaven became fewer and fewer.

Father Yu Shi is one of them.

Of course, Ji Nie didn't know these things, all these years it was Father Yu Shi who collected money for him, and his life was not affected at all, so he naturally didn't know how much anger those low-level Zhou people had accumulated towards him, the Son of Heaven.

Thinking of this, Luo Cheng didn't plan to talk nonsense, and immediately asked: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and 30,000 soldiers are 30,000."

Now elect a general, take these soldiers to defend the pickaxe capital, and wait for King Qin's army to come to the rescue.

The minister had already borrowed troops from the princes surnamed Ji in the capacity of Dazongzheng, and they should come a little faster.

Now, as long as you can hold the pickaxe capital, everything is still in time. ”

"Yes, the widow has the princes of the world, King Qin, as long as he guards the pickaxe capital, Shen Rong will naturally retreat."

Ji Ne didn't know anything about military affairs, so he said to his most trusted father Yu Shi: "The strength of Shen Rong's thieves is not clear, so I bother Yu Gong to try their soldiers." ”

Luo Cheng frowned slightly, to be honest, he didn't know how well Father Yu Shi's ability to command troops.

When it comes to character and the ability to govern the country, Father Yu Shi is obviously not up to the mark.

However, there is nothing to do with character and ability, nor does it have to do with political ability and military ability.

Ji Ne handed over the power of commanding the army to Father Yu, presumably Father Yu Shifu still has some outstanding features.

But Father Yu Shi gave him a really bad impression, so he asked with some anxiety: "Gong Yu, do you know soldiers?" ”

Yu Shi's father is indeed not useless, his father Yu Wugong is an outstanding commander, ranking first among the ministers in the Xuanwang period.

Yu Shi's father has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he was born tall, whether it is a chariot rush to kill, or a foot battle when he gets off the car, he is a leader among the princes and nobles of Wang Ji.

So he's very confident in himself.

Luo Cheng looked down on him as soon as he arrived in the capital city, which made him very angry, but because of Luo's prestige, he didn't dare to do anything.

Now that there is finally an occasion where he can show his talents, he is full of confidence and said: "Although the king can rest assured, the ministers have the courage to be unstoppable, and you are the son of heaven, it is easy to defeat the army of the Shen State and the Rong people." ”

Father Yu's performance made Luo Cheng even more worried, did he really think he was Xiong Dun?
