Chapter 502 The ruthless Zhou City
Zhou Shi beckoned the captain of his personal guard to come to his side, and said a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, the captain of the guard couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face, and seeing Zhou Shi's firm face, he couldn't help but bow and leave slowly.
Then Zhou Shi shouted outside the tent: "Come here, take the name of the marshal, go to visit the king of Zhao Wuchen, the general of Chu Xiang Liang, and the general of Qi Qing Tian Rong, and tell them that the marshal will hold a banquet tonight, and invite them to come over to the banquet to discuss the crusade against the Qin State." ”
Hearing this, the three guards came to the camp tent, stepped forward to take the name given by Zhou City with both hands, listened carefully to Zhou City's instructions, remembered them in their hearts, and went to the camp of the Three Kingdoms Army of Zhao Qi and Chu respectively.
After the three Wuchen received the name post, their first reaction was that something was wrong, everyone looked like they didn't get along with each other before, you Zhou City suddenly invited me to a banquet, is there any conspiracy?
With this in mind, the three of them invariably notified the other two parties, and then the three of them ran into one.
Wu Chen was the first to speak: "Both of you have received the name post of the Zhou City?"
Xiang Liang Tianrong nodded and said, "It seems that Brother Wu also received it." ”
Wu Chen was puzzled and said: "After everyone fell out before, he Zhou Shi has never given you and me a good face, how can he think of banqueting me and others today, isn't there some conspiracy?"
Xiang Liang thought for a while, shook his head and said: "According to my speculation, the conspiracy is not enough, it is very likely that I want to ask you and me to do something, after all, everyone's common enemy is the Qin State, no matter how dizzy he is in Zhou City, he will not do such a thing as a pain for relatives and a quick for enemies." ”
Tian Rong echoed when he heard this: "What Brother Xiang said is reasonable, and the younger brother also thinks that Zhou Shi probably encountered some difficulties, and he couldn't solve them by himself, so he had to ask me and others." ”
Wu Chen snorted coldly and said, "Wasn't he ruthless before? Now that he has something to ask for, he just makes this gesture, doesn't he feel ashamed? According to what the two of you can see, this banquet, should I wait or not?"
Xiang Liang hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Wu dissipates his anger, now that the enemy is present, it is really not suitable to meet him in general, when this matter is over, you and I will jointly sue him in front of Chen She, and let Chen Shi punish him well." ”
"At present, we should focus on the overall situation, we should go or go, no matter what, we have to listen to what he says, if it is some reasonable requests, everyone is an alliance, and it is also appropriate to help, if it is unreasonable, we will refuse directly. ”
Wu Chen thought for a moment and snorted coldly: "Then go and see what tricks he wants to play." But that's for later, and I'm going to take advantage of today's opportunity to take this breath, and you two won't stop me, right?"
Xiang Liang Tianrong hurriedly said: "As long as Brother Wu is not too excessive, the two of us should support Brother Wu." ”
The three agreed to go to the banquet together in the evening, and then they left separately.
......
In the evening, the three of them, Xiang Liang Tianrong, and the three of them came to the vicinity of the camp tent of the commander of Zhou City, and saw Zhou City standing at the door of the camp tent, with a look of greeting, and they were even more sure that something must have happened to Zhou City, so Zhou City had such a low profile.
When Zhou Shi saw the three of them, he took the initiative to take a step forward and said, "King Zhao, General Xiang, Lord Tian, please come in quickly." ”
Seeing this, Wu Chen couldn't say how happy he was, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut, and said in a tone full of sarcasm: "Zhou Dashuai is in a good mood today, and he actually took the initiative to invite me to the banquet, which is really an honor for King Lone." ”
Zhou Shi didn't seem to hear the ridicule in Wuchen's words, and replied with a smile: "It's a negligence on weekdays, and I hope that King Zhao won't be surprised." ”
Xiang Liang and Tian Rong couldn't help but glance at each other, the posture of the city this week was even lower than he imagined.
Wuchen didn't plan to let Zhou Shi go easily, and snorted: "That is, Zhou Dashuai has every opportunity to ignore this king, and it should be, anyway, this king can't help much, what does Zhou Dashuai expect from this king?"
Zhou Shi smiled awkwardly and said: "King Zhao is serious, Zhao Guo and I, Zhang Chu, are both allies in the crusade against Qin, and they should be mutually beneficial. If there is something to ask for in the future, I hope that King Zhao will not hesitate to help. ”
Wu Chen sneered: "Then it depends on what Zhou Dashuai is asking for, it's too difficult, and this king can't help." ”
The smile on Zhou Shi's face was very reluctant, so he had to beckon: "King Zhao will sit down first, and everyone will chat slowly while drinking the feast." ”
Under the guidance of Zhou Shi, Wu Chen took the main seat, and then Xiang Liang and Tian Rong were led to the second position, and they accompanied the last position, and their posture can be described as low to the extreme.
After everyone sat down, Zhou Shi clapped his palms, and a group of guards held plates of carefully cooked medicinal food in front of the four of them.
Each dish is cooked with the fattest piece of meat on the body of the Six-Rank Dibao and the Six-Rank Demon Beast, exuding a rich fragrance.
It is accompanied by a pot of fruit wine made from exotic fruits, which is fragrant and intoxicating.
Zhou Shi first got a cup for himself, picked up the wine bottle, and gestured to the three of them: "I have known the three allies for a long time, and today is the first time to feast the three, this is a faux pas, so I will punish myself with a cup and make amends to the three, and I hope that the three adults will not remember the villain, and they will be grateful for this matter." ”
Wuchen Xiang Liang Tianrong just looked at Zhou Shi quietly and did not respond.
Zhou Shi could only smile awkwardly and drank all the wine in the wine bottle in one gulp.
Then Zhou Shi poured himself another cup as if he was nothing, and said: "Everyone drinks this cup together to show the love of allies, what do you think?"
When Xiang Liang and Tian Rong heard this, they also raised the wine bottle, but only Wuchen remained motionless.
Xiang Liang couldn't help coughing lightly, signaling Wuchen to take the overall situation seriously, Wuchen raised the wine bottle unhappily, and the four of them touched it from afar and drank the cup.
Zhou Shi looked very happy and said: "Everyone taste this dish, the taste is definitely not bad, this chef is specially rewarded by the king of my family, and he is the best at making all kinds of medicinal food, everyone can try it." ”
After speaking, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, looking very enjoyable.
The three of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw it, the medicinal diet made of six-grade earth treasures and six-grade demon beasts, even with their status, they couldn't eat it often, since Zhou Shi broke the fee this time, they naturally wouldn't be polite, and ate it seriously.
During this period, Zhou Shi took the initiative to toast the three of them separately, and then found an excuse to drink together.
After the medicinal food in front of him was almost wiped out, Wu Chen was the first to ask: "I don't know what the purpose of Zhou Dashuai is to invite us to a banquet today?"
Zhou Shi put down his chopsticks when he heard this, and said with a melancholy expression: "Don't hide it from the three, I just received the news that Yangzhai City was broken by the official army, and the logistics supply of the army was cut off. ”
The three of them were shocked when they heard this: "What's going on?"
Zhou Shi quickly told Yang Zhai about the situation, and he didn't even hide the fact that there was still a month of grain and grass in the camp.
Xiang Liang said in a deep voice: "In this case, Zhou Dashuai should order the troops to retreat, preserve their strength, and wait for the next year's grain and grass to be sufficient, and then attack Qin." ”
Zhou Shi said faintly: "But I am really unwilling, I miss this opportunity, and I don't know when I will have such a good opportunity, if the strength of the Qin State recovers and sends troops to quell the rebellion, it is not yet known whether we can resist it." ”
Wu Chen said with a sneering look on his face: "What can you do if you are unwilling? Is it difficult for Zhou Dashuai to conjure up grain and grass? Without grain and grass, will the soldiers go hungry and desperately to fight? At that time, let alone kill the enemy desperately, it is good not to make trouble." ”
Zhou Shi sighed slightly: "There is still a month's grain and grass in the camp, and our army still has a million people, if we attack the city at any cost, the possibility of capturing Hangu Pass is very great, please be sure to help in the next hand?"
Xiang Liang frowned slightly and said, "How do you want us to help?"
Zhou Shi said calmly: "Order your subordinates to attack the city at the cost of their lives, and they will die under the city." ”
Xiang Liang's face flashed with anger, and he was about to refuse, but the military minister on the side preemptively said: "This is impossible, we have managed to save this little force, and we must not easily waste it here." ”
"Besides, didn't you bring 600,000 troops with you? Let them go up, this king can promise that as long as you capture the gate or city wall of Hangu Pass in Zhou City, the 200,000 Zhao troops will definitely follow in your footsteps and help you completely capture Hangu Pass. ”
"As for you wanting to sacrifice Zhao Jun, this is absolutely impossible, and this king will not agree. ”
Xiang Liang and Tian Rong echoed on the side: "What King Zhao means is what we mean. ”
Who do you think you are in Zhou City, a wine banquet, empty mouth and white teeth want me to wait for the army to work for you? I really don't know what to do.
I saw a sneer on Zhou Shi's face: "Is it? I don't know if in your eyes, is the army important, or your own life is important?"
Wuchen Xiang Liang Tianrong and the three of them looked shocked, pointed to the wine table and said, "You ......"
Zhou Shi nodded and said, "That's right, I put a lot of poison in the wine and meat, if there is no antidote, you will definitely die." ”
"Now I give three and two choices, first, you die, I give up the idea of attacking Hangu Pass, withdraw my army, and then find an opportunity to annex your army. ”
"Second, you cooperate with me and attack Hangu Pass with all your strength for ten days, and after ten days, if there is no result, I will unconditionally give you an antidote and let you go. ”
Wu Chen turned his eyes in the direction of Xiang Liang Tianrong, and suddenly burst out and attacked Zhou City.
I saw Zhou Shi unhurriedly pinching open a talisman and turning it into a shield to protect it inside.
The three of them attacked and crashed into the shield, and there was not even the slightest ripple.
The three of them couldn't help but have a desperate thought: "Grandmaster Fu, how can you fight this?"
After the three of them used their true qi, they suddenly had a disorder of true qi in their bodies, and under the collision, their internal organs were damaged, and a mouthful of blood spit out, and the whole person was sluggish and weak, so they had to sit on the ground.
Zhou Shi said with a bright smile on his face: "Don't get excited, the more this poison uses true qi, the more it penetrates into the internal organs, for the safety of the three of them, it's better not to do it." ”
"I know that the three of you can't make a decision in a short time, so how about giving the three of you one night's time, think about it, and reply tomorrow morning?"
After speaking, he waved his hand outward and said, "Come on, take the three adults down to rest." ”
