Chapter 29: Wei's Countermeasures
The news of the alliance between Chu, Zhao, and Han had already been known to Emperor Jian'an in advance.
The envoys he sent did not interrupt the process of alliance between Han and Zhao and Chu, but in the end, there were some gains.
Zhao is near the sea and the country is rich, the people think a lot about business, and the Haoran Sect of Zhao pays more attention to convincing people with virtue, it is not easy to kill, and its national martial arts are not prosperous.
Although the neighboring Wei State was not as wealthy as the Zhao State, it was full of martial virtues, and the King of Zhao had always been wary of the Wei State.
This time, the state of Chu promised the state of Zhao to divide one-third of the city of Wei under the siege, which impressed the king of Zhao.
In addition, he also agreed that Zhao's Haoran Sect would enter Chu to set up a branch sect, and persuaded Zhao's largest martial arts force to support this crusade.
The capital of Chu State this time is not heavy.
But unlike the natural antagonism of South Korea, Zhao Guo belongs to Qian Bao and touches people's hearts, but he is moved by the interests of Chu State.
King Zhao did not have the ambition to expand his territory, so there was still some room for maneuver in the relationship between Chu and Zhao.
The northernmost Yan country has always been guarding against the northern barbarians, and it is difficult to have energy.
But in the middle of the Qi State now has no war in the country, and since the establishment of the state, it has boiled salt and cultivated fields, rich in armor, and tens of thousands of soldiers, but it has the same ambition to open up the land as the Chu State.
Qi and Zhao are both seaside countries, and the two have commercial and trade competition.
In terms of martial arts power, the strength of the Xuantian Mansion of the Qi State is also slightly lower than that of the Haoran Sect of the Zhao State.
Therefore, the state of Qi has been standing still and accumulating strength.
Now is the right time.
Do the math, the envoy sent by Emperor Jian'an to the State of Qi should almost have a result.
When Emperor Jian'an was thinking about this matter, the guard guarding the palace gate said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng has something to see. ”
Emperor Jian'an, who was sitting in front of the case of the Qianqing Palace, said calmly: "Xuan." ”
After Xiao Boling, the right man of the middle book, got the consent, he quickly strode into the Qianqing Palace, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy to the Qi State has returned, and there is the latest news." ”
As soon as he heard that it was about the envoy to the Qi State, Emperor Jian'an Zhao Yuxu stood up, put down the fold in his hand and asked, "What is the result?" ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Envoy Chen, they are fortunate to not be dishonored, and the Qi State is willing to use troops against Zhao."
"Great." Emperor Jian'an Zhao Fuxu slapped a long case and said happily: "In this way, the alliance of Chu, Zhao, and Han only needs to concentrate on dealing with Chu and Han, and there is no great pressure on the eastern front." ”
The reason is simple.
As long as Zhao sends troops, there will be an emptiness inside.
In this way, the Qi State can take advantage of the void and hit the vital point.
At that time, the troops of Zhao attacking Wei had to return to help, and the war on the eastern front of Wei was naturally resolved.
And with such a conspiracy, Wei doesn't even need to pay any price.
Xiao Boling, the right man of the middle book, said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much about the Zhao State now, but the Chu State is powerful, and we still can't take it lightly." In particular, the palace master of Chihe Palace has been promoted to the Creation Realm, maybe he will do it himself, and we have to guard against it. ”
Jian'an Emperor Zhao Fuxu sighed and said: "I know the key to this matter, and I will personally go to Zhengyi Palace one day to discuss this matter with Bi Daoshou and find a way to deal with it." ”
Then he remembered something and said: "General Cen, General Huo, General Feng, they are ready, and they are about to rush to the three places, just as the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, this matter still needs to be paid more attention to by Prime Minister Xiao Cheng." ”
"Wechen has started this matter with the rest of the ministers in recent days, and this matter involves the matter of recruiting people's husbands, and the court needs to discuss it with His Majesty tomorrow morning."
"With a minister like Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, Dawei is safe." Jian'an Emperor Zhao Fuxu said with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty has praised it." Xiao Boling was flattered and said: "It is the honor of the ministers to share the worries of His Majesty. Weichen still has government affairs to deal with, and he retired first. ”
Seeing Xiao Boling leaving his back, his temples turned white, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Prime Minister Xiao Cheng was born in the end of Wei, he has never practiced martial arts, and now he is like me, and he is already old. Alas......"
"Feng Daban."
"The minions are here."
"General Cen, General Huo, and General Feng have any changes?"
Feng Dabao bowed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, General Cen and General Feng are as usual, but General Huo has some changes?" ”
"Come on."
"According to the people below, General Huo often installed his cronies in the army, and now the Eastern Route Army has almost become General Huo's words, that is, Your Majesty...... His Majesty's edict is not as good as General Huo's words. ”
Zhao Fuxu had no joy or sadness on her face, and continued: "What else? ”
"General Huo also secretly communicated with the people of Sword Casting Villa and embezzled military salaries."
"So, the rise of Sword Casting Villa over the years is all related to General Huo?"
Sword Casting Villa was originally just a relatively general martial arts force on the rivers and lakes, but in the past twenty years, a martial artist of the innate realm suddenly appeared, and then the talents of the sect sprung up like mushrooms and rose rapidly.
It has a place among the many martial arts forces in the Great Wei.
Even though there is still a big gap compared with the old first-class forces like Zhengyimen, it cannot be ignored.
After all, more than ten years ago, there were martial arts forces that rose up and rebelled, intending to support the new dragon and bring disaster to several cities.
In the end, it took him a lot of effort to pacify.
Now it seems that General Huo Yuhuo has a different heart.
"This matter is still under investigation."
"Find out as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"I remember if General Huo has a daughter who is now in Daliang?"
"There is a daughter named Huo Xianshui, and now there are five out of ten."
Jian'an Emperor Zhao Fuxu said: "Tell the queen about this and let her choose a suitable prince." The Huo family's side still needs to be stable. ”
Feng Dabao was stunned for a moment, is this a means of marriage?
He didn't say much, nodded respectfully, and said, "Yes." ”
……
Kunning Palace.
Tu Lihua, the queen of the Great Wei Dynasty, was dressed in simple clothes, holding two stone locks weighing 100 catties with both hands, and her arms were constantly raised and raised.
"Nine hundred and ninety-one, nine hundred and ninety-two...... Thousand. ”
She exhaled softly, her arms sore and swollen.
Putting down the stone lock, she clenched her fists, her face full of unwillingness.
If it was the Innate Realm, the flesh and blood and the divine soul grew at the same time, and the two became one, and the situation like this would not occur at all.
It's a pity that there are no ifs.
Choosing this path, it was only a matter of time before it became like this.
Tu Lihua walked to the side, where there was a full-length dressing mirror that was a full height of a person.
Looking at himself in the mirror, his jade-like face appeared a little old, even if it was not obvious, but it was still captured by it.
She knew that she was a victim of the Tu family and the Zhao family.
As a congenital realm martial artist marrying into the royal family, the benefits she gave to the Tu family in exchange are incalculable, even if it is more than enough to cultivate two more innate realm martial artists.
If she wants to say that she regrets it, she will not regret it.
Give her another chance, and she will make that choice too.
The Innate Realm martial artist can live to be one hundred and twenty years old, and she has exchanged her decades of lifespan for the prosperity of the family, which is enough to become famous.
In her eyes, this is more worth than living for decades in vain.
As for practicing martial arts to become an immortal, she has never listened to it as a legend, and never taken it seriously.
"Queen Mother, Gonggong Feng is here, Your Majesty has something to explain to Niangniang."
