Chapter 08: The Savior
The news of Wuchen's capture was covered by Zhang Er's thunderous means, but the paper could not contain the fire, and the news finally spread throughout the army after Zhao Guoliu's envoy, and Zhao Jun was like a leaderless dragon at this time, flying aimlessly, rambling around aimlessly.
Zhao Jun's army was unstable at this time, Zhang Er was anxious, and what made him even more unbearable was that the six envoys he sent were either killed or captured, and only one came back, but he brought a letter from Han Guang, demanding that half of Zhao's land be redeemed by Wuchen.
Zhang Er was extremely angry, and he threw Han Guang's letter to the ground angrily to vent his dissatisfaction.
At this time, everyone was silent, everyone bowed their heads and was silent, at this time, everyone's hearts were more or less thinking about their own retreat, thinking about what they should do in the event of civil strife in Zhao State.
At this time, Zhang Er also suppressed the annoyance in his heart, and he said with hatred: "The land of our Zhao country is not rich, if we give up half of it, we will not be able to call it a country!" ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Er suppressed the anger in his heart again, he sat back on the soft seat, right now, it is not the time to complain, he must find a way to rescue the military minister, if it really can't work, Zhang Er can only think about cutting the land to save the master, but cutting off half of the land of Zhao State, Zhang Er thinks that it is difficult for him to obey his fate.
Just when Zhang Er fell into contemplation, Chen Yu on the side slammed the table case and said hatefully: "My Zhao country is self-reliant, it is not a day or two, the country is strong and the people are rich, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, far from a Yan country can be compared, if it really can't work, I am willing to gather soldiers and horses, kill the Daqing River, and save the king." ”
Chen Yu's method is too radical, and it will threaten the safety of Wu Chen, Zhang Er shook his head negatively, "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run." ”
"Do you just watch the king being locked up in the Yan camp and sit and wait to be killed?" Chen Yu's face was bruised, he was angry to the extreme, if the peace talks were fruitless, it would be better to fight vigorously and fight with Yan State, perhaps, in the battle to defend glory, he could defeat Yan State in one fell swoop and save Wuchen.
Although Chen Yu knew that this hope was very slim, it was much better than cutting off half of the land, and once Zhao Guo cut off half of the land, even if he welcomed back the military ministers, he could only surrender to Yan State or attach himself to the feet of Yan State in the end, otherwise, Zhao State would also be swallowed by Yan State, this is the way of the world where the weak eat the strong, and the winner is king.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu argued again: "Why should my brother be stubborn, this matter, I think it is so decided, immediately gather troops and horses, and start a war against Yan Kingdom!" ”
"Nonsense!" Zhang Er was completely angry this time, no matter what, he couldn't allow Chen Yu to start a war against Yan Guo, just when the two of them were red-faced and had their own opinions, Zhang Wei and Li Zuoche and others had to sigh lightly, and said helplessly: "Bow first and then soldiers, we have done our best to be benevolent and righteous, we really can't do it, Jiao Zhao recruited Li Liang to come to the teacher, and asked Shao Shao, the left minister, to decide whether to go to war?" ”
Although the two of them hesitated, they had already acquiesced to Chen Yu's strategy of starting a war, and the big tent became extremely quiet, Zhang Er saw that everyone was advocating war, and he couldn't insist on it anymore, after a short thought, he had to sigh: "Since everyone thinks so, I can't do anything, so let's decide." ”
Zhang Er turned around and picked up Zhao Wangyin on the table, and continued: "I will draw up an edict when I go back, invite Li Liang and Shao Sao to come to discuss, and you should also prepare separately, at the latest three days, we will start a war against the Yan army!" ”
Everyone nodded, Zhang Er wanted to leave, but a soldier guarding the barracks walked in and said, "Prime Minister, there is a person who claims to have a way to save the king, and he is asking to see him outside the tent at this time!" ”
Hearing that he could save the king, Zhang Er's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Quick, bring him in!" ”
Zhang Er was very excited at the moment, he walked back to his position and sat down, at this time, Chen Yu and others also sat back one after another, and soon, the soldier walked in with a person, he was wearing a Zhao Jun military uniform, with a short blade on his waist and hips, Zhang Er looked at this person intently, he was clearly a pawn in Zhao Junjun.
Zhang Er couldn't help but be annoyed: "Bold thief, what are you capable of, dare to speak wildly and rescue the king!" ”
This is the consistent habit of literati, like to use identity to confirm a person's ability, at this time, Zhang Er is guilty of such a problem, but the pawn did not panic because of Zhang Er's reprimand, he thought for a while, and couldn't help sneering: "Doesn't the Prime Minister want to rescue the king?" ”
Seeing that the other party was neither humble nor arrogant, Zhang Er expected that this person must have some insight, so he softened his tone and asked with a smile: "Tell me, how can you rescue the king?" ”
"With only my three-inch incorruptible tongue, I can save the king, why bother asking?" The pawn sneered.
Zhang Er saw that the other party was disrespectful, and asked again: "What position do you have in the army?" ”
"It's just a bunch of men." After the pawn finished speaking, everyone was speechless, but Zhang Er was angry again: "I am dignified in Zhao State, send a group of husbands to go, won't I be laughed at, and no one in my Zhao Country is available?" ”
"The Prime Minister's words are wrong, Hao Hao Zhao Kingdom, only a group of husbands can welcome back the king, this is enough to show that my Zhao Kingdom is full of talents, how can I humiliate the country?" The pawn's answer was reasonable, Zhang Er didn't despise the pawn this time, and Lang smiled: "What's your name?" ”
"Shenyang!"
"If you can't save the king, do you know what happened to you?"
"It's just death, if I can't welcome back the king, I'm willing to kill myself by the Daqing River!" Shen Yang's answer was extremely decisive, and Zhang Er couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, come here, change Shen Yang's clothes, transfer fifty elite soldiers, and escort him to Yan Kingdom!" ”
。。。。。。
Shen Yang's self-recommendation was recognized by Zhang Er, and he handed over the envoy to Shen Yang and asked him to envoy to Yan State, but again, Zhang Er did not make concessions on the land issue, he told Shen Yang that at most he was only allowed to cede the land of one county, otherwise, he could only meet each other in arms.
But since Shen Yang recommended himself to Yanying, he naturally had his own way, and he didn't consider whether he needed to cede the land or be inferior to rescue King Zhao.
At this time, the team of more than 50 people came to the bank of the Daqing River by boat, along the crooked path, everyone went straight to the Yan army marshal camp, about half a pillar of incense time, everyone came to the Yan army camp, there were already soldiers in charge of patrolling to block the way of Shen Yang and others, at this time, more and more Yan troops came around.
An officer in black leather armor came to the front on horseback, drew his sword, and asked, "Who!" ”
"Can't you see that I am the envoy of Zhao State?" Shen Yang snorted coldly, and looked at the officer in front of him intently, but the officer was slightly not inferior, in the past few days, Han Guang had killed no less than five envoys, could it be that this one in front of him could escape the doom of death?
Thinking about it, the officer snorted coldly, glanced at the envoy in Shen Yang's arms, and reprimanded: "The war between the two countries is imminent, I advise you not to bother, go back early, lest you die here, and no one will even collect the bones for you!" ”
The officer's words did not cause Shen Yang's anger, at this time he had already picked up the envoy and arched his hand: "I have written down your words, now I bother you to tell me for me, Shen Yang, the envoy of Zhao State, asks to see!" ”
Seeing that Shen Yang was so stubborn, the officer was interested, and he no longer persuaded Shen Yang, but turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Take him, let's go to the camp!" ”
。。。。。。
In the past few days, Zang Di has always been worried about the border problems between Yan and Zhao, he is very worried that Han Guang's wanton massacre of Zhao's envoys will lead to an endless war, although Yan is not weak, and its strength is also very strong, but compared with the long-developed Zhao State, Yan's power is slightly inferior after all.
Moreover, Han Guang inadvertently caught // Wuchen, and could have taken this opportunity to ease the deadlock between the two countries and reach a consensus, so that Yan Guo could also be given a chance to breathe and prepare for the future attack on Zhao, but Han Guang refused to reconcile because Wuchen wantonly went north and raised troops to enter the country.
In this way, a kind of stalemate will be formed, once the Zhao State tears its skin and struggles to go north, whether the Yan State can resist the Zhao State or not, it will suffer heavy losses, which is a nightmare for the developing Yan State.
Just when Zang Di was thinking wildly and irritable, an officer walked into the big tent with a big grin and arched his hand: "General, an envoy from Zhao has arrived." ”
"Zhao State Envoy?" Zang Di was slightly surprised, this was already the seventh messenger.
But he no longer cares about this kind of problem at this time, anyway, Han Guang has already killed five envoys, and this is not the sixth one, thinking of this, Zang Di snorted coldly, looked at the officer, and said unhappily: "Just have a messenger to bring you to see the king, why are you leading me here?" ”
Seeing that Zang Di was not interested, the officer was a little disappointed, but he still had a good impression of this envoy, so he had to add: "This envoy seems to be different from the past, the general might as well meet him, and he won't delay too much time." ”
Seeing the officer say this, Zang Di thought to himself, it didn't hurt to see it, but ordered: "Bring him here." ”
The officer was overjoyed and arched his hand: "Order!" ”
The officer left, Zang Di returned to his position, he deeply felt that he had just lost some of his temper, at this time, after calming down, Zang Di thought that he could find out Zhao Guo's attitude at this time from the tone of the envoy, if they were really ready to tear their faces and fight hard, they should prepare in advance, at least, Yan Guo would not easily let Zhao Jun cross Zhuo County and launch an attack on the hinterland of Yan State.
Just when Zang Di picked up a cup of herbal tea on the table and was about to take a sip, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent, and soon, the officer walked into the big tent with Shen Yang, and the officer bowed to Zang Di and said with a smile: "General, he is the envoy of Zhao State." ”
Listening to the officer's introduction, Zang Di couldn't help but look at Shenyang, Shen Yang had already taken a step forward at this time, and arched his hand: "In Shenyang, meet General Zang." ”
Zang Di was interrupted by Shen Yang's contemplation, and he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Shen Yang? Nice name, come, sit down and talk. ”
Zang Di pointed to the soft seat on the side and motioned for Shen Yang to sit down, at this time Shen Yang had already taken out the envoy and put it in front of him, and then said with a smile: "The servant sent an envoy to the Yan Kingdom this time, not to welcome back the king, but to save the Yan people from fire and water, and to settle the disputes between the two countries!" ”
As soon as Shen Yang spoke, he had already opened the topic with righteousness, and couldn't help but make Zang Di look at him differently, completely different from the previous envoys, at this time Zang Di had already smiled back and said: "Since the envoy said so, I will listen to it." ”
