Chapter 102 begging Zhao
Chapter One Hundred and Two
Zhao, a large northern country adjacent to Qi Chu, is a traditional power.
It's just that one hundred and sixty-eight years ago, under the changes of various countries, the Zhao dynasty fell into chaos again, resulting in the decline of Zhao's national strength, and it almost became the bottom of the Qi state.
However, ten years ago, the prince of Zhao Wu implemented a change, and the Zhao state began to rise.
In just five years, Zhao suppressed Rong Di in the north so much that he couldn't raise his head, and he didn't dare to go south when he starved to death.
Today's national strength of Zhao State has a vague tendency to catch up with Jin and Chu.
In addition, the other six countries have been attacking each other in recent years, and Zhao has been accumulating strength, intending to go south to dominate the Central Plains.
Now the state of Chu attacked the two countries of Qi and Tang at the same time, and the two countries of Qi and Tang were unable to resist the powerful state of Chu after the previous war, so they had no choice but to ask for help from the state of Zhao.
This is a golden opportunity for Zhao Guo!
But Zhao Guo couldn't just agree, although the benefits promised by Qi and Tang were already a lot, but King Zhao felt that he could get more benefits.
Therefore, the envoys of Qi and Tang were in Zhao and fought with each other.
Zhao Guo knew that Qi and Tang would not be able to hold on, so when negotiating, Zhao Guo was completely fearless.
"Robbers! It's a bandit! The envoys of the Tang State scolded in the post station, "We have all borne its military funds, and after attacking the Chu State, it is not enough to get fifty-five cents, this Zhao State actually wants it all, an insatiable bandit!" ”
The envoys of the Qi State sat aside, but they looked much more stable.
"The Zhao State has already been decided, and my Qi State and your Tang State can't last long under the Chu army, so they are so fearless."
"It's okay for my Qi country to be here, Lord Tian Ji has blocked the attack of the Chu country, but the situation in your Tang country is not good."
"I heard that your Tang State has been defeated again, and you have already retreated to Huaicheng, once Huaicheng is lost, the gate of Tang State will be completely exposed to the iron hooves of the Chu army."
The face of the envoy of the Tang State was dark, and the defeat at home made him very passive in the face of the Zhao State, and even the envoys of the Qi State in front of him.
"Don't bother Your Excellency, although our Tang army retreated to Huaicheng, the general of my Tang State has not yet commanded the army, as long as my Tang State General Zhenguo makes a move, I will naturally be able to block the front of the Chu army."
The envoy of the Qi State sneered and said, "Don't deceive yourself, your Tang Dynasty is in chaos like that, can a person like Qin Zhen still lead the troops?" ”
"But then again, the appearance of your Tang Kingdom today is very similar to the appearance of Zhao Kingdom back then."
In the face of the ridicule of the envoys of the Qi State, the envoys of the Tang State blushed, but they could not refute it.
After taking two deep breaths, he snorted coldly: "You Qi Kingdom is not much better!" The people of Qi almost only know the Qi Guotian clan, but they don't know the Qi royal family! ”
The envoys of the Qi State narrowed their eyes, this matter can be said to be known to the whole world, but the whole Qi State did not dare to say so.
And this is not because of the fear of the royal family's anger, but because the Tian family ordered that the officials and people of the Qi State should not mention it, so the Qi State did not dare to say about it.
This matter is the shame of the Qi royal family, and it is also the most taboo for the Qi Guotian clan.
Now this envoy of the Qi State is from the disciple of the Qi Guotian clan, so when he hears this sentence, he is naturally taboo.
The envoy of Qi suddenly smiled and said: "It is useless for you and me to expose each other's shortcomings here, and now that both countries are in great trouble, they should be in the same boat." ”
"It's okay to be in the same boat." The envoy of the Tang State sneered, "You are the one who provoked the dispute, and it is also you who proposed to help each other in the same boat, you are really both a bitch and a memorial arch." ”
"You!" The envoys of the State of Qi were angry for a while, but they were still powerless to refute, so they could only apologize to the envoys of the Tang State.
"I made a mistake in the next place, and I apologized to Your Excellency again." The envoy of Qi said.
At this moment, someone from King Zhao's palace came and invited the two of them into the palace.
The two glanced at each other, and at this moment the two were united again.
······
In Xiangting City, after a day of exploration, Qin Yu almost figured out the situation.
There were only 2,000 defenders in the city, and 4,000 men and horses were responsible for escorting grain and grass.
And the 4,000 men and horses who were responsible for escorting grain and grass had escorted supplies to the front line the day before yesterday, and there were still three days left before they could return here.
Therefore, Qin Yu and the others only need to deal with the two thousand defenders in the city.
However, Qin Yu still counted a little more, after all, the people in the city have patriotic veterans, after all, these people were also soldiers, and they were soldiers when they took up arms.
"The garrison in the city is 2,000 men and horses, plus the people who may resist, if you are full, it will be counted as 3,000 men and horses."
In the black light, Qin Yu and Qin Yuan were analyzing the current situation.
"My lord, the biggest problem is how to enter the city, after all, we are all cavalry, there are no siege equipment, although the city of Xiangting City is low and thin, but it is not something that cavalry can break."
Hearing Qin Yuan's words, Qin Yu also reacted.
This city gate is not the camp gate of the previous Chu army camp, and it can be lifted by oneself.
Cavalry siege is definitely a nightmare, even if you dismount to attack the city, you can't break the city without siege equipment.
In the history known to Qin Yu, Genghis Khan invented the method of cavalry siege.
That is, with the mobility of the cavalry, the cavalry can enter the city after it is as high as the city.
But he only had a thousand cavalry in his hands, not hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry.
Not to mention that this method is too time-consuming, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for the Chu army to run with reinforcements.
Qin Yuan said at this time: "My lord, my subordinates have a way. ”
"You say." Qin Yu looked into Qin Yuan's eyes and said.
In the darkness, Qin Yuan whispered: "My lord, since the Chu army is so lax, then we will put on makeup and enter the city, and then take advantage of the night to control the city gate, and let the brothers outside directly kill in." ”
After hearing this, Qin Yu felt that this method was feasible, "Yes, but you have to find out the law of Chu Jun's actions at night." ”
Qin Yu stood up as he spoke, and walked out in the dark.
"My lord, what are you going to do?" Qin Yuan hurriedly asked.
"Don't you talk nonsense, of course you are going to find out the law of Chu Jun's actions at night, otherwise how to act."
Qin Yuan grabbed Qin Yu and said, "My lord, my subordinates have slept all day during the day, so let my subordinates go down to investigate at night." ”
Qin Yu thought about it, and at the same time felt a little tired, so he let Qingyuan go, and he walked comfortably to the bed.
I've been on the road for the past few days, and I'm resting either on horseback or lying on the ground, this bed is not good, but it's much more comfortable.
"I've been out for so long, and I don't know what's going on in Cangxian, I hope everything will be normal when I go back." Qin Yu sighed helplessly.
Originally, I just wanted to govern a county quietly and treat it as a farming game, but the sudden war forced me to play the war game in advance.
I don't know if this battlefield will affect my plan······
