Chapter 155: Preparing to open up
Regarding the matter of inviting Luo Zai, in fact, there have been debates in various countries, but in the face of the continuous defeat on the battlefield, it was finally decided to ask Luo Zai to take action.
It is at least better to let Luo Zai make a move than to let his rival take the position, after all, Luo Zai is the prince of a foreign country, and it is impossible to manage their country.
The high-level leaders of the Three Kingdoms didn't think that Luo Zai could completely defeat Bai Qi, but only hoped that Luo Zai could stop Qin's offensive and give them a chance to breathe.
Especially the Chu State and the Wei State, after they lost to Bai Qi, the biggest problem they encountered was that a large number of elite soldiers were completely wiped out by Bai Qi, and they fell into a situation of passive beating in a short period of time, and they had no power to fight back at all.
"Bell~Bell~Bell~"
Melodious bells rang.
The envoys of the three kingdoms of Chu, Han and Wei came to the country of Luo.
The country of Luo is now becoming more and more prosperous, and the strong performance of the army of the country of Luo has once again increased the value of the country as the center of the Central Plains, and countless merchants have traveled through the country of Luo.
The huge missions of the three countries met on the road.
Qu Yuan, the left disciple of Chu State, Xiao Chen, the son of Han, and the son of Wei Guoyin, the three of them looked at each other.
There you are.
Yes, I'm coming.
You're here too.
Although the three of them did not speak, the atmosphere between the three of them was like this.
Then the three of them showed happy smiles on their faces, the more people there were, the more likely it was that Prince Luo would be moved.
Luo Hong did not come forward, but Luo Zai directly met with the three people.
In the palace room, there is little light smoke, and the faint aroma of green wood comes out, which makes people's mood calm.
The gifts brought by the mission were neatly placed in the room, and the maids stood on either side.
Luo Zai looked at the three people in front of him with interest.
Qu Yuan, the left disciple of the Chu State, is the Qu clan of the Chu State, and the Luo State doesn't know much about him, but he knows that this is a rare change faction from the old aristocracy in the Chu State, and the others are not very clear.
The most interesting thing is that the two sons from Han Wei broke the illusion of the two kings of Han and Wei seizing the mandate of heaven in Shangyuan with his own hands.
The King of Wei was swept away and entered the comic set, not only in the country of Luo, but among the nations, the King of Wei is a negative textbook.
Not to mention Uncle Han.
Luo Zai was a little curious, didn't Gongzi Xiaochen have any unusual thoughts in the face of the enemy who killed his father?
Luo Zai is a bit self-conscious, and there is family affection between the offices of Luoguo, which does not mean that other countries also have it.
At least the unfavored son Xiao Chen was not only not angry, but even wanted to hug Luo Zai's thigh and say, "The prince killed it well, the old man should have died a long time ago!" ”
"The three of them are all nobles of the Zhuxia countries, and they came to Luo to find me and bring these valuable gifts, but is there anything important?"
Qu Yuan may be the person with the purest purpose here, he simply wants to ask Luo Zai to make a move, to be able to unify the nobles of the Chu State, not to drag each other back, to work together against the Qin State, and to buy time for the reform of the Chu State.
"Prince, the foreign minister is here to be instructed by the king and Ling Yin, please take action against Bai Qi, the general of the Qin State.
Bai Qi used his troops like a god, and the state of Chu suffered heavy setbacks and countless losses.
The Qin State is a country of tigers and wolves, and it has no mercy for living beings, and since it has been strong, every time it violates the border, this is not what the ceremonial Zhuxia nations should do.
Qin Wu Wang Dang even entered Luoyi to snatch Wang Ding, if it weren't for your action, King Su's Mandate of Heaven would probably fall into the hands of Qin.
Of the seven kingdoms in the world, only Qin does not believe in King Su, can you tolerate it?
The Qin State invaded Luoyi again this time, and Zhou Tianzi was not at fault, but the Qin State blamed Zhou Tianzi for the death of Qin Wu Wang Dang, don't you feel angry?
I am afraid that the Qin State wants to annex the Six Kingdoms and replace the Mandate of Heaven of the Zhou Family, such a wolf ambition, the foreign ministers think that they must hit him severely. ”
Luo Zai nodded with a slight smile when he heard this, this doctor Qu Yuan's reasons are already very sufficient, and he basically said everything that could be said and should be said.
He didn't speak, just looked at Han and Wei's sons, and asked, "Do you have anything to say?" ”
Gongzi Xiaochen thought for a while and said: "Prince, what I want to say is the same as Dr. Qu Yuan, please abandon your previous suspicions and rescue South Korea, not only the gifts in the palace, but also countless curiosities and exotic toys in Korea, which can be given to you as gifts." ”
Gongziyin didn't wait for Luo Zai to ask, and said directly: "Prince, I'm the same." ”
After speaking, the three of them looked at Luo Zai with blank eyes, only to see the smile on Luo Zai's face slowly put away.
As the smile disappeared, the coldness in the corners of his eyes was completely gone, and the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop several degrees in an instant.
In the past, the murderous spirit of the two kings spread wantonly.
Luo Zai did not respond directly to the three of them, but said coldly: "The Son of Heaven is not wrong, and he should enjoy his old age in peace." ”
Luo Zai has a good impression of Zhou Tianzi, this is what he says.
"Whew!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and Qu Yuan immediately said: "Prince, the Qin State is rampant, and he actually led a large army to besiege Luoyi, and the Chu State is willing to send 100,000 troops to relieve the siege for the Son of Heaven." ”
Go on the road!
Luo Zai was a little impressed by Qu Yuan, such an upright person, but his political acumen was not bad, and he seemed to be a flexible person.
"Prince, Wei is willing to send 100,000 soldiers."
"South Korea is willing to send 50,000 troops for you to drive."
……
Bai Qi chose to besiege Luoyi but not attack, naturally it was not impossible to break through.
Although Luoyi was the most majestic city in Zhuxia, it was impossible to hold it in the face of the powerful Qin army.
It's just that once the war starts, the swords and guns have no eyes, and there are too many killings in Luoyi, and the disasters are endless.
Bai Qi is just indifferent, not a murderer.
On the contrary, he has always gone with the flow of wars, and he knows very well when to fight and when to stop.
He fought a war of annihilation just because he felt that the results of the war of annihilation were greater.
Because he believes that the most important resources of a country are food and population.
To take away the land is to take away the food, and to kill is to take away the population, and without these two, it will be very simple to destroy the country in the future.
He never killed for the sake of killing.
Besides, even if he was thirsty for killing, it was impossible for him to kill Zhou Tianzi directly in broad daylight, if he really did that, his reputation in history would be stinky.
At most, let Zhou Tianzi set himself on fire like the king of Shang a thousand years ago,
Bai Qi didn't want to wade into this troubled water at all, he was waiting for the royal family to fight now, or if there were spies in Luoyi, or even Zhou Tianzi himself would surrender directly.
The pressure of the Qin army on the border did cause chaos in Luoyi City.
Because everyone knows very well that it is impossible for the Zhou royal family to stop it!
People do things that are irrational when there is no hope, and fortresses are always breached from within.
Palace.
Tianzinuo had expected that today, he was wearing armor, a little thin, and looked a little funny.
With a resolute look on his face, he came to the location of the Jongmyo Temple.
This is the most solemn place in the entire Luoyi City, where there are only three colors: black, white and gray, which was personally selected by Ji Zhao and recorded in the Zhou ceremony.
The Zhou people's worship of their ancestors is unparalleled, and the patriarchal system founded by Ji Zhao has carved the worship of ancestors into the blood.
Tianzi Nuo knelt on the ground, bowed three times heavily, and looked up at the ancestral gods above, except for King Su, almost all of them were his direct ancestors.
Of course, a king of the cholera community like King Li will not appear in the temple.
can only wander between heaven and earth as a lonely ghost.
Tianzi Nuo's eyes were filled with tears, and he choked up:
"King Wu, your descendants are going to go into battle.
You are the unparalleled god of war in the world, although your descendants are far inferior to you, but your blood is still there, and you are willing to use this body and blood to defend the prestige of the Zhou family, and you will not fall into your holy name.
Maybe this is the last time I'll come here to worship you.
But please don't worry, even if the royal family does not exist, there are still Jiuding in Luo's hands, the Zhou family still exists, and your incense sacrifice will never be extinguished. ”
Tianzinuo knew very well in his heart that there must be an undercurrent surging in Luoyi now, and there must be many treacherous villains who want to open the city and surrender directly.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that his son, the prince of Bang Zhou, was the same.
Wang Ziyi is a very handsome young man, when Luo Zai left with Luoyi's daughters, he also wanted to go to Luoguo, but Luo Zai decisively refused.
"Father, it is absolutely impossible for the royal army's army to stop the army of Qin, just like an egg touching a stone, it must be the result of the destruction of the country.
Bai Qi, the general of the Qin State outside the city, is a butcher who kills people, since he took charge of the Qin army, he defeated the Han and Wei coalition forces, defeated Chu, and killed 400,000 people successively!
If he is allowed to storm the city, will we still be able to survive?
If we surrender directly, as a Zhou family, Qin Wangji will even reward us with a city, isn't it better than falling into the Yellow Spring? ”
After Wang Ziyi finished speaking, he looked at his father with hopeful eyes, and then he saw his father's cold gaze.
Tianzi Nuo angrily lifted the scabbard and struck Wang Ziyi fiercely, directly knocking Wang Ziyi to the ground, "You son of a, remember to the widow, the royal family is the blood of the King of Martial Arts, and the descendants of the God of War who stands up to the sky and the earth, and you must not compromise and fall into the reputation of the ancestors!"
You remember to the widow that Bang Zhou only has the Son of Heaven who died in battle, and there is no Son of Heaven who surrendered without a fight!
Qin Wangji wanted the widow's city, so he used the sword in his hand to seize it, and stepped on the widow's corpse, and the widow would never be humiliated.
If you dare to talk nonsense again, the widow will kill you first to sacrifice the flag! ”
After speaking, he hit Wang Ziyi's body with his sword scabbard, Wang Ziyi screamed, wept bitterly and said: "Father, the son is wrong, the son does not dare, please forgive the son of the minister." ”
————
The Qin soldiers were trapped in Luo, did not move, and Luoyi was in chaos.
The prince said: Zhou is weak and Qin is strong, so you can't be a fool.
up, people are slaughtered, and if they are defeated, they will die.
If you sacrifice the city to seek peace, you will not lose the position of the king.
The king was furious and said: The blood descendant of the widowed warrior king has his own backbone, and he can be killed but not humiliated!
The city grabbers come by stepping on the corpses, and the widows do not spin their heels when they die.
After that, the king was angry and struck him with a sheath, and the prince was sad and grieved. - "Historical Records: Zhou Benji"
