80. The Alliance of the Castle
The earthfang chieftain Wu Yu Hou personally led 100,000 tribesmen to the south, drove straight in, and reached Chaoge.
The two princes of Yin Jiao and Yin Hong, who were ordered to supervise the country, felt that there were no generals in the city, and personally went down to the land to show affection to the rebel generals, and moved them with reason, and the rebel generals surrendered.
Yin Jiao did not doubt the use of people, and sent Lei Kai to lead 3,000 cavalry to investigate the earthwork military situation.
Lei Kai encountered the main force of the earth, killed 37 people alone, and led the crowd to behead more than 1,000 people, but it was still to no avail, so he had to take advantage of the familiar terrain and retreat to bring the enemy's intelligence back to Chaoge.
On the same day, the Marquis of Wu led the army to crush and go straight to the city of Chaoge.
The people in Chaoge City were panicked, the markets were depressed, the doors and windows of the houses on the street were closed, and the four doors of the east, west and south gates were closed.
All of a sudden, the song was no longer prosperous.
In the East City, the turtle shell of Yun Zhongzi was knocked to the ground by the panicked crowd.
In North City, the yarrow of Shiji was sprinkled all over the ground by the panicked crowd.
In the West Market, Jiang Ziya wittily collected the hexagram stall, but when he went home, he hit the old woman's heartless vegetables all over the ground and lost a lot of money.
Shi Ji sighed slightly, she could destroy the army outside the city, but the catastrophe had not yet arrived, and it was inconvenient for the immortals to take action in person, and she could only hope that the king outside could do something.
There were children in the market who were so frightened that they held their heads in their hands and were trembling and crying.
I don't know how many years, no barbarian outside the party has ever dared to attack Chaoge, and most people don't even know what the barbarian looks like.
Outside the song city, as far as the eye can see, a crowd like a black tide can be seen.
The earthwork soldiers and horses were estimated to be around 100,000, and the number of Chaoge troops was 80,000.
With sharp weapons, strong armor, and military formations, the merchant army has no problem with one being two, or even being three or four.
But most of them were foot soldiers, and outside Chaoge City was a wilderness plain, and the cavalry could not stop it at all.
The merchant army at the head of the city was fearless, as long as the other party attacked the city, they were confident that they would defend and annihilate it all, but they were very aggrieved because the other party did not attack the city at all.
The earthwork is surrounded but not attacked, and Chaoge will not be in danger of running out of food, but the problem is that the information cannot be transmitted.
A siege can stop the heralds, but it can't stop the beacon fire.
Yin Jiao wanted to light a beacon fire to inform the princes of King Qin, but Empress Jiang stopped him.
The king of the emperor is encroaching on the power of the princes little by little, reducing the influence of the princes, and plotting again and again, all of which suppress the princes.
Moreover, the prestige of the Shang king will also be greatly reduced, and at the time when the king of Shang Feng Chan proclaimed himself the first emperor, ambitious princes are likely to take the opportunity to rebel or stand on their own.
These hazards are much more serious than those of the earth, and the internal enemy is the worst enemy.
Even if they had to sign an alliance with the Turkish side in the end, it would not give the princes a chance to regain their momentum, and the humiliation brought by the Turkish side could be liquidated later, but the threat brought by the princes could not be delayed any longer.
Under Empress Jiang's explanation, Yin Jiao finally sorted out the current situation and gave up the idea of lighting a beacon fire.
He was worried about the king and the officials who went on patrol.
..............
Zishou and Baiguan were resting in the city not far from Chaoge.
There were still only 800 Imperial Guards and 300 guards around him.
It's not that I don't want to transfer troops, but I can't transfer them.
The earth-moving cavalry is too mobile, and they can run away if they can't be killed in an attack, and once they run to the city where the defenders are transferred, it will be a great disaster.
As for the princes ....
Zishou thought the same as Empress Jiang, the princes were more feared than the barbarians.
Chonghou Hu and Su Hu's soldiers and horses can be used, but it will take a while for them to arrive.
After consulting with the civil and military officials, Zi Shou sent an envoy to negotiate with the Turkish side to see what they wanted to do.
"Your Majesty, the messenger has returned. ”
"Biography. ”
The envoy entered the temporary council hall, and after barely conveying the meaning of the Marquis of Wuyu, he fell.
It's not exhausting, it can't be saved.
His nose and ears were cut, and there was a huge knife wound on his back, apparently caused by the abuse of the earthmen, and it was not easy to survive here.
Zishou was angry, forcibly suppressed his emotions, and waved his hand: "Thick burial." ”
The Marquis of Wu Yu's request was excessive.
And pro, dedicated.
The Marquis of Wu Yu named and said that he wanted to marry Empress Jiang and Daji, as long as this was the case, he was willing to sign an alliance and not invade each other.
There is no consent of the Minister.
Who would dare to agree to let the king of Xuan give the queen and concubine to the barbarians?
Moreover, these two people also represent the two princes of the Friendly King, Jiang Huan Chu and Su Hu.
I am loyal to you and sent my daughters to the palace, but you sent them to the hands of barbarians to be bullied?
Everyone knows what will happen to the earthwork, and those barbarians don't talk about etiquette.
The Turkish army of 100,000 horses, in addition to men and horses.
Once agreed, it would be tantamount to forcing these few loyal princes away.
Wu Yu Hou probably understands the reason for advocating the demolition of the house first if he wants to open the window, in addition to this impossible requirement, there is another plan.
Send land, food, weapons and armor.
This is a great shame, the Great Shang has been founded for more than 600 years, and only others have paid tribute.
It is true that after being expelled by Wu Ding, the earth party worked hard and became much stronger, but it did not come to this point.
The reason for this lies in the princes.
If the princes of the Eight Hundred Roads all surrender to the Great Shang wholeheartedly, not to mention the earthwork, even if the Qiang Fang, the Dog Rong, the Baiyue, and the Dongyi are all vegetables.
It's a pity that more than 600 years have passed, and the princes are no longer the original princes, and they all have ghosts.
The veteran Lu Xiong couldn't help but say loudly: "Your Majesty, the earth side killed my big business envoy and made unreasonable demands, and the minister asked for orders to lead the army.... Lead the army ....."
As he spoke, he was silent.
Lead an army of 1,000 to break the earth?
Even if 100,000 pigs are killed for you without moving, you will have to kill them for a long time.
What's more, this is in the wilderness, the home of the cavalry!
If you converge with the soldiers and horses in Chaoge City and the soldiers and horses in Jizhou, it is not impossible to fight, but the loss is not small, and if you lose the battle, the result will be even worse.
Wen Zhong is not in a rut, he can use spells in the North Sea, and even use spells to find the king who has run away, but he can't use spells in the civil war of the human race.
At least not before the Great Tribulation.
If it is just a loss of cultivation or his own Taoism, he is not afraid of it for the sake of the big business, but the loss is also the luck of the big business.
The old minister Shang Rong leaned his back, stepped forward tremblingly, and bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, agree to the covenant and reward the earth.....
Shang Rong wanted to live the rest of his life in peace, but now he can't tolerate his peace.
National affairs need to be decided.
Agreeing to this unprecedentedly humiliating covenant of the great merchant was bound to bear the infamy of a lifetime, but he did it anyway.
He has seized power, and even relied on his prestige to control the government, but he is really a loyal minister, a loyal minister with responsibility.
"The old minister acted as the envoy to conclude the alliance and went to the earth. ”
After a sentence, it seems to be ten years old.
The infamy is settled, but it can be exchanged for the stability of the big trading community, so that the people of Chaoge are no longer in fear, so that the surrounding cities are no longer in danger of destruction, and the king has enough time to purge the princes, and it is worth it.
And the king will definitely take note of his merits, as long as he doesn't die in the second half of his life, he will be completely safe.
The ministers looked at Shang Rong and felt a lot for a while.
It was not the fault of one person to cause this situation, except for Zi Shou's misjudgment because of the speech, there was no one in the Chinese military of the dynasty, including Lu Xiong and Wen Zhong, who were shrewd old ministers, who did not think that the Turkish side would suddenly go south.
Dashang really hasn't encountered border troubles for too long and has lost his vigilance.
Everyone waited for Zishou's answer, as long as they nodded, they could start to prepare, and "gifting" land, food, and weapons and armor in exchange for the covenant and the withdrawal of the earth, which was indeed the best way at the moment.
Zishou looked at Shang Rong and felt that this old man was a little cute, so he nodded slowly:
"I'm going. ”

Asking for recommendation votes, the scheduled release in the morning is set for tomorrow
