Chapter 245: Manifestation
"Zhong Ion Country is also the country of the surname Ying after Boyi. After the death of the former kingdom, our ancestors took Zhongli as their clan and multiplied to this day."
"So my surname is Zhong Li, and I go up, and Qin and Zhao are all the same surname and ancestor, so the county prince is very willing to help Qin."
"Hearing that General Xin and the army leader were here, the county prince immediately decided to help the Qin army cross the river, which is also grateful for the origin of the ancestors."
On the south bank of Huaishui, Zhong Liyi had a flattering smile on his face, introducing the relationship between Zhongli and Qin to the young Qin general in front of him, and pulling a fig leaf for Zhongli's surrender.
This retrospective was directly linked to one or two thousand years ago, which made Zhao Tuo feel very funny.
If you are still in the Western Zhou Dynasty, everyone will meet and show their surnames to climb the kinship, but it will be okay.
The so-called surname, the surname is based on the marriage of the blood, and the clan is divided into different families. When the two met, they knew whether their ancestors were the same family as soon as they showed their surnames.
But when King Ping moved eastward, the Zhou family declined, and the countries of the world conquered, and even the king of Zhou was shot in the shoulder.
Who cares what your surname is among the princes below, whether it is an ancestor or not, just go to war to destroy the country and grab people's land, this is the world of Confucius in the past.
After the Warring States period, the countries of the world didn't care about these things. Qin and Zhao Tongzu are all countries with the surname Ying, the two sides are not fighting a river of blood, corpses are everywhere, and they only think about each other when they fight, who will mention the kinship of one or two thousand years ago.
Therefore, Zhong Liyi was climbing the blood relationship at this time, which made Zhao Tuo feel quite unbearable.
But if you really count it, he Zhong Liyi and Zhao Tuo are both surnamed Ying, and if you count it upward, it is really an ancestor.
In fact, Zhong Liyi was also very depressed in his heart, according to the agreement with the Qin army yesterday, their Zhongli side only needed to provide the food, clothing, and food that the Qin army needed, and the boat to cross the river was considered to have completed the agreement.
The county magistrate didn't even need to go out of the city in person, he Zhong Liyi could also stand on the wall with his own eyes, watch the Qin army cross the Huai, and then come out of a flying boat to capture the general, catch the Qin general Xin Wu, and make a great contribution.
Unexpectedly, early this morning, before the Qin army began to cross the Huaishui, they sent people to the city to make new demands.
Their military waiting, Zhong Liyi, who went to talk about the surrender agreement yesterday, was named to see him in person.
Military waiting?
It's not the general Xin Wu, but the Qin army who came out of nowhere, and he wants to see him by name?
Even though Zhong Liyi has been quite conceited about his wisdom since he was a child, he can't help but be confused in the face of this strange request at this moment.
He secretly thought about his performance yesterday, he shouldn't have shown any horses, how could he be named by the Qin people?
"Yi, otherwise, let's say that you suffered from the wind and cold yesterday and couldn't afford to be sick, so you pushed the Qin people to summon you."
Zhongli County Duke was quite concerned about him and thought of an excuse for him to refuse.
Now that the big thing is coming, he still needs Zhong Liyi, a think tank, to drum up and command by his side, as soon as Zhong Liyi leaves, he feels very scared in his heart, how can he be willing to send out to the city again.
Zhong Liyi thought about it for a while, but refused.
"No, this excuse is too reluctant, but it will arouse the suspicion of the Qin people, or provoke the other party. They haven't started to cross yet, and it wouldn't be good if they missed something big because of this."
….
"I, Zhong Liyi, am just a villain, and they won't do anything to me if I think they come, so don't worry." Zhong Liyi replied at the time.
First, he was really afraid that if he didn't go, he would arouse Qin Jun's suspicions, or provoke the other party, and ruin a big deal.
The second is conceited wisdom and courage, he believes that even if he enters the Qin camp again, he can come out again, which is his confidence in himself.
Third, even Zhong Liyi was also very curious about who the so-called Qin army was, why he would see him by name, and what he was going to do when he went to the Qin camp, this matter was really strange.
So Zhong Liyi came and saw Zhao Tuo.
The young Qin general he remembered vividly yesterday.
Good guy, the military who is less than twenty years old is none other than an important minister of the Qin State
's son, at a young age, has such an important position in the Qin army.
Zhong Liyi's heart was full of doubts, but he was very honest in front of Zhao Tuo, so he could only wait by the side, waiting for Zhao Tuo's question.
Although he was conceited and brave, he only dared to bow his head and stand at this moment.
Because Zhong Liyi was unarmed, but the other party was wearing armor and swords, and there were short-range soldiers following behind him, as long as Zhong Liyi moved, I am afraid that he would immediately be in a different place, so he could only pretend to be a flattering villain and accompany Zhao Tuo to chat.
At this moment, I saw that a Qin army had begun to prepare to cross the Huai River on a boat and go to Huaibei to explore the road and take the lead.
Zhong Liyi's heart tightened, and he began to think of a way to get out.
"The villain was born in a despicable background, he is a member of the county government, and today he was summoned by the army to ask about Zhongli, and he is not very honored and afraid. But the villain has always been cowardly, seeing that the strong men are mighty and the armor is prominent, the villain can't help but be timid in his heart, and his legs tremble, if the army waits for no orders, can you let the villain go, and the villain will thank you."
Saying that, this Zhong Liyi really had weak legs, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Tuo, showing off the appearance of a timid person.
A few short soldiers behind Zhao Tuo couldn't help but show disdain, and they didn't understand why their own soldiers specially recruited such cowards to meet.
Zhao Tuo's face was indifferent.
The reason why he called this person out of the city early in the morning was to confirm whether this Chu man was the famous Chu and Han general Zhong Liyi in history.
Zhao Tuo always had a dangerous premonition in his heart, if this person was the conspirator Zhong Liyi, Zhong Li's surrender this time might be deceitful.
Although he didn't know where the scam came from, after all, the most dangerous night had passed. But just in case, it's safer to control it by your side first, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, and wait for the opportunity to act when you encounter a situation.
Of course, if this person only has the same name and clan as the general, it will be even more harmless, and it will be regarded as entertainment on the road.
So he's not?
Zhao Tuo ignored the other party's request to leave, but pointed to Zhongli City in the distance, and said with a smile: "I have heard that in the past, when Wu was still alive, this Zhongli City was the border of Chu State, and it was attacked and killed by the border of Wu State because of the children's fight for Sang, and finally caused the two countries to fight each other, and King Wu wiped out Zhongli, yes or no?"
Zhong Liyi was stunned, and out of the corner of his eye, he had already caught a glimpse of a group of soldiers of the Qin army on the boat, and they were about to row north, and the time was getting tighter and tighter.
But at this moment, he had no choice, in the face of Zhao Tuo's inquiry, Zhong Liyi couldn't ask to leave again, so he could only stubbornly say: "What Jun Hou said is that this is the matter of Zhongli and Wu Guobian Beiliang in the past."
….
What Zhao Tuo said, Zhong Liyi also heard his father talk about.
That was the time of the king of Wu, when the state of Wu rose and bordered the state of Chu, and Zhongli of the state of Chu and Beiliang of the state of Wu were adjacent to each other.
One day, a young girl from Zhongli and a girl from Wu Guobeiliang competed for mulberry leaves, and they refused to give in to each other, and the verbal abuse between the two girls from the beginning gradually evolved into a physical conflict.
Later, the families of the two girls arrived and fought on the spot.
Zhongli was so powerful that he destroyed the family of the Beiliang girl.
When Dr. Beiliang of Wu received the report, he was very angry and sent Yi soldiers to attack Zhongli, destroying Zhongli's girl's family, and killing many Zhongli people.
When the king of Chu heard about it, he was furious on the spot, and sent the Chu army to attack and destroy Beiliang, showed the head of Beiliang to the public, and captured the Beiliang people back to Chu as slaves.
When the king of Wu heard this, he was also furious, and sent a large army to conquer the state of Chu, and destroyed the two cities of Zhongli and Juchao of the state of Chu.
At this time, the king of Chu was frightened by the offensive of Wu, and hurriedly strengthened the city defense of Yingdu, not daring to retaliate again, and the matter was over.
Zhong Liyi didn't know why the other party suddenly mentioned this matter.
Counting the time, it would have been almost three hundred years, could it be that he wanted to show off his erudition in front of himself?
But immediately, Zhong Liyi was angered by Zhao Tuo's next sentence.
"How bold the Chu people are."
Zhao Tuo chuckled and said, "At the beginning, the two families were fighting, but it was just a matter of small people's disputes. Doctor Wu led his troops to attack Zhongli, but it was the beginning of the national war, this matter is obviously the fault of Wu State, how can Chu State last
The Wu people destroyed two cities, and they bowed to the Wu kingdom instead."
"You say it's ridiculous, but in this way, the Chu people are really cowardly."
In front of the Chu people, say that the Chu people have no courage?
Zhong Liyi's eyes narrowed, and his palms couldn't help but clench.
But he still had reason, and with a flattering smile on his face, he continued to act like a villain and said, "What the military candidate said is true."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Tuo did not let him go because of Zhong Liyi's response, but continued to pursue: "It's a pity, the king of Chu has no courage, and the people of Chu have no courage, but it is useless, and in the end, it makes the Wu people look down on him even more."
"Tsk, but more than ten years later, King Wu Lu led Wu Shi to attack Chu, all the way like a bamboo, the battle of Baiju, broke the Chu army, and entered the Chu capital."
"That King Zhao of Chu abandoned the capital and fled, let the Wu people indulge in the capital of Chu State, dig up the tomb of the King of Chu, and whip the corpse of the King of Chu, such a thing can be called a strange talk through the ages, even today, it still makes people laugh at it."
Zhong Liyi clenched his hands into fists and did not speak.
Zhao Tuo continued to increase the weight layer by layer.
"I also heard that after the Wu people occupied Yingdu, their monarchs and ministers lived separately in the palace of Chu monarchs and ministers, and the wives of Chu monarchs and ministers, and the Wu people burned down the temples of Chu and removed the treasures and seals of Chu State, so that the former southern power, the overlord of the Central Plains, became the laughing stock of the world."
"In the end, I had to rely on a Shen Baoxu to cry Qin Ting, so I moved the rescue troops from my Qin State, drove away the Wu people, and restored the Chu State Sheji, don't you say? It's ridiculous that the Chu people don't have the courage to go here!"
In front of the Chu people, he used his former national shame to ridicule.
In this era, it is tantamount to insulting the ancestors of the society, which man with backbone can endure it?
….
Although Zhong Liyi is resourceful, he is a military general!
He is the backbone of Xiang Yu in the future, a bloody general, and a man full of pride.
Not to mention that he has just reached twenty, which is the age of a man's flesh and blood.
In this case, if it was a person like Chen Ping, in the face of such an insult from Zhao Tuo, maybe he would have endured it, and he could continue to smile and cater to him.
But he is so far away, how can he bear it!
Although because the other party had armor in hand and short-term guards, Zhong Liyi didn't dare to break out on the spot, but he couldn't help it after all.
"The words of the military wait seem to be reasonable, but may I ask where did the Wu Kingdom, which broke my Chu capital in the past, go?"
Zhongli held his head high, and the brilliance on his face was completely different from before.
Zhao Tuo's eyes lit up, and the other party seemed to be about to show his original form.
He smiled and said, "Naturally, it was destroyed by the Yue people, and this has nothing to do with the Chu State."
Zhong Liyi sneered, "Yes, the Yue people destroyed the Wu Kingdom, but when they were in the past, where did the powerful Yue Kingdom go? In the end, it wasn't wiped out by my Chu people!"
"The more Wu is destroyed, and Chu is more destroyed. The Wu State and the Yue State mentioned by the military Hou, no matter how powerful they were in the past, they were not all annexed by our Chu State in the end, the land of Wu Yue in the past was the land of our Chu State, and the people of Wu Yue in the past were all the people of our Chu State!"
"What if my Chu State was beaten into Yingdu by the Wu people, in the end, everything in his Wu Kingdom was not owned by my Chu State, and if he wins in the end, he is the real strong!"
[In view of the general environment,
"The military should also look at the final result, not the momentary dispute. Just like in the past, the Qin State was not beaten by the Wei people and fled westward, lost the land west of the river, lost the elite pawns, bowed their heads and went east, now it is also worthy of shame. Not to mention the north of Huaishui, Li Xin's matter, hehe......
Speaking of this, Zhong Liyi raised his head proudly.
He said he won!
He not only perfectly clarified the question of who was the strongest in Wu and Chu, but finally used the national shame of Qin being beaten by Wei in the past and Li Xin's defeat today.
Didn't you see the few short soldiers standing behind the army, all full of anger?
This is what he said hurt his feet, and he was angry.
Zhong Liyi only felt comfortable all over his body at the moment, even if he was dead now, he was worth it.
If you live for a lifetime, don't you just fight for that breath?
?
If he wins, the other party will be angry.
Hey?
Why is this Zhao Junhou's expression wrong?
Zhong Li blinked, because Zhao Junhou on the other side was not only not angry, but looked at him with a happy face.
Those shining eyes are like seeing a peerless beauty.
The next moment, Zhao Tuo stepped forward and grabbed Zhong Liyi's hand.
"Yes, yes, you're right."
Zhao Tuo smiled and agreed, looking at each other with blazing eyes.
Zhong Liyi.
Don't you want to run!
Dongjun who took off
