Chapter 199: The world is about to rise in turmoil
Recently, the rivers and lakes have been surging, and the news of the death of the great master of the Zhao Kingdom, the lord of Baishui City, quickly spread all over the land of Middle-earth.
It stands to reason that this matter is shocking news for the rivers and lakes of various countries, the demise of a generation of great masters, and the turmoil in the rivers and lakes of a country, I am afraid that the talk will not be finished from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
But soon, there were several more news one after another, as if thousands of catties of black fire were detonated at the same time.
The sage bell that has been silent for three hundred years in the school palace of Qi Guoji rang for no reason in the middle of the night, and the sage once said that this bell is mourning in the sound, and one day it will be mourned by the people of the world.
The bell of the saint rings for a long time, which means that the troubled times are coming, the common people are suffering, the war is endless, and the lives are ruined.
For a while, some people were panicked, and some people were ready to move.
The troubled times are a disaster for the common people, but for those who are ambitious, it is a world of great struggle, and the great opportunity to fight for wealth, power, and the world lies in a messy word.
In this regard, the Jixia School Palace is preparing to hold a sage conference in the spring of March, leading all the sons of the world to the country of Qi to discuss the strategy of peace and security.
This is the first major event that caused an uproar, and the second is the court outside the rivers and lakes.
Not long after Meng Juntong and the others left Zhao and entered Wei, Zhao Yonggong, the lord of Zhao, officially became the king and became the third monarch of the Warring States overlord after King Chulan and King Qili.
Not only that, not long after Zhao Yonggong became king, he signed an alliance with the Western Overlord Qin State to join forces to defeat Wei.
In the blink of an eye, the western and northern parts of Wei were in flames of war at the same time.
Originally, because of the perennial war with the Qin State, the national strength was empty, and the Wei State, which was short of troops, suddenly fell into the danger of destroying the country.
The king of Wei sent envoys to desperately ask for help from Han, Chu, and Qi, but they were all like stones sinking into the sea, and there was no response.
Under the deterrence of Qin's iron cavalry, South Korea, which was closest to Wei, had already been frightened.
In the middle of the Warring States period, there was still a hidden appearance of the hegemon of the state, in recent years, the decline is not weaker than the Yan State of the year, and dozens of surrounding cities have been plundered and divided by the two overlords of Qin and Chu, and the current city of a country has only left less than one-third of the heyday. How dare they stand in the way of the Qin State's iron cavalry and sharp swordsmen.
Chu and Wei originally had a feud, because of the belonging of the Guanglingjiang generation, the two countries did not fight less in the early years, Wei was strong at that time, and there were Wei soldiers who were brave enough to crown the world, where can they give face to Chu.
At present, if the Chu State does not ignite the flames of war in the south at a critical time, and fall into the well, it will already be Oh Mida Buddha.
As for the Qi country, it is a little far away and difficult to save the fire. There have been various marriages between the two countries in the previous two generations, and the relationship is very close among the nations, but the king of Qi obviously does not want to wade into this troubled water.
The Wei State, which once overwhelmed the chaos of the Six Kingdoms with its military force, has now become a lone army.
The pride and arrogance of the past have become the biggest talisman hanging over the head of the Wei State.
Soon after Meng Juntong and the three entered Wei, the border of Wei was completely blocked.
The lord of Wei went crazy and began to clear the wilderness, wanting to gather a country's material resources, financial resources, and military strength, and start a final decisive battle with all the invaders in the ten cities near the imperial capital Anyi.
Originally, Xiang Ming and the others were going to enter the mountains from Baihu Town, first enter the Qin State along the large primeval forest on the Wei-Zhao border, then transfer from the Qin-Wei border to Korea, and finally return to the Chu State from Korea.
This is the most conservative and safest road, the key is that along the way, there will be the secret supply and response of the Dragon Shadow Guard that they had set up by the Chu State earlier, and this line is also an underground corridor that many secret agents have maintained for many years.
It's just that now the situation is a little troublesome, and the lord of Wei is ruthless and sends a large army to set fire in the primeval forest at the junction of the two countries.
This was originally the dry winter season, a fire, stretching for hundreds of miles, could burn for a whole month, with a flame city wall, completely blocking the iron cavalry surging from the border of Qin.
If those Qin armor iron horsemen wanted to make a detour from Zhao to Wei, it would take several more months.
However, Wei never thought that it would be able to scare off the Qin army with a wall of fire, and the current Qin Iron Cavalry was too restrained by Wei's most elite Wei warriors, and with Zhao's military strength alone, it was obviously not enough to quickly break through Wei's borders.
Wei was gaining time to establish the strongest fortress of the offensive and defensive alliance with Anyi City as the center and the ten surrounding cities as each other's offensive and defensive alliances.
The selection of Anyi, the capital of the Wei State, was completed by a military ancestor, and at that time he was interested in the golden soup of the ten cities. In order to one day, when facing the danger of national destruction, with a solid defense, he can hang a breath of life for a country, and if he can survive it, there is still hope for the country to continue.
Meng Juntong, who is now living in an inn in Baihu Town, is listening to An Jie talk about the current situation between countries and the current crisis in Wei.
Regarding the word "miserable life", Meng Juntong is obviously more touched than Xiang Ming and An Jie.
She did not understand where the so-called chaotic war originated and when it would stop in the future.
How many hands are pushing behind such chaos, and how many people are carving up the interests that have been stained with countless blood.
"News has just come from the inn that Baihu Town has been sealed off, and everyone will be forcibly taken to the ten cities of the national capital, regardless of men, women, old and children. Xiang Ming sighed softly, to achieve such a level of strong wall clearing, this Wei monarch is really determined to fight against the water.
"Then what should we do?" Meng Juntong asked, now that a mountain fire has been ignited in the mountains and forests west of Baihu Mountain, it is probably impossible to make a detour.
"Uncle An, with the force of the three of us, it shouldn't be difficult to force us out, it's a big deal, let's go back to Zhao State, and then go from Zhao State to Qi State. Xiang Ming said.
Although it has been out for a few days, it is actually at the border of Zhao Wei at the moment.
An Jie smiled bitterly: "Do you think that the crossbows on the border are well placed? That is specially prepared for the masters of the rivers and lakes who are mixed into the army." The power of an arrow from a Wanjun bed crossbow is no less than the full force of a great grandmaster. I estimate that it's okay to say that there are four or fifty percent sure that you can escape, but then bring you and Miss Meng," Speaking of this, the old fist saint shook his head: "I'm afraid I don't even have a chance of one percent." ”
This is the helplessness of the martial artists in the rivers and lakes in front of the real soldiers' heavy weapons, when the manpower is exhausted, but there is no heavy weapon, a hundred jun is not enough for thousands of jun, a thousand jun is not enough for ten thousand jun, if ten thousand jun is not enough, there are still ten thousand jun on it, when a country's weapons are running at full strength, any master of the rivers and lakes is unwilling to take its edge.
