8. Take you as a gift
"No, you can't escape!" Zhu Xin decisively refused.
"If you don't flee, king, when the enemy arrives, you will be in danger of your life. Rayong was still persuading.
In Zhu Xin's view, there is his foundation, his soldiers, and his city-state. Once you escape, you will have nothing, not even the slightest hope! But Rayong feels that if you don't run at this time, your life will not be saved! Stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood!
But does Zhu Xin really not understand this? He knows that if he escapes, he can certainly save his life! But if he escapes, he can take with him a few soldiers and ministers! What will he do to make a comeback in the future?
Rayong is interested in Zhu Xin's life, and Zhu Xin is interested in his future future!
"Rayong, I can't escape, now that I have escaped, then it will be difficult for me to have a future in the future, and there is little hope!" Zhu Xin said.
Luo Yong said worriedly: "King, if you don't flee now, then how will we withdraw our troops? As soon as the enemy army arrives, our lives will be in danger!"
"Or, we can give Fengxue some gifts and beg him to raise his noble hand and let us go!"
There is no shame in begging for help. When a person's survival is about to be lost, there is a high probability that he will choose to give in!
Since you have chosen to give a gift, you must choose a gift that the other party looks at.
Gold and silver treasures, maple snow is only a lot. He can see it now, and Zhu Xin happens to have it. That's Zhu Xin's city and people!
Thinking of this, Zhu Xin was a little panicked, but then he thought about it and was a little excited, and immediately ordered: "Luo Yong sent a letter to the lords of several small states nearby, inviting them to come over to discuss countermeasures, and said that I have an idea!"
The letter sent in the morning came in the afternoon, and although the city-state was close, their hearts were also very anxious! As soon as they heard that Zhu Xin had a way, they immediately rushed over.
There are a total of three small state lords, these three small states are very close to Zhu Xin's city, and they are all vassal states of Ling State! Faced with the dual threat of Ling State and Feng Country, their country is small and weak, and there is no way to do it.
As soon as he sat down, the lord of one of the small states, Lord Li, opened his mouth and asked: "Lord Zhu, I heard that you have a good plan to deal with the current predicament, why don't you explain it to everyone now." ”
The other two small state lords immediately nodded in response, "Yes, yes!"
Zhu Xin began to say: "Everyone knows that the country of Maple has annexed the country of Yan, and it has not been in accordance with the previous practice and has not proposed any compensation, but has directly chosen to annex it, and has also annexed it together with the vassal states of the country of fire! ”
The three of them all nodded, and Zhu Xin continued: "Everyone understands that although Ling Guo is our suzerain, he is a slave country after all, this time Ling Feng asked everyone to go over and defend together, I am afraid that we will be used as cannon fodder, and when the time comes, not only will we not even be able to become kings, but we may also become slaves, are you really willing?"
The three of them shook their heads and said, "If that's the case, then we still don't go, but what can we do if we don't go?"
Zhu Xin also asked: "Yes, what should I do?"
After asking the question, Zhu Xin put forward an opinion: "Turn your back on the Ling country and take refuge in the country of Feng." ”
As soon as Pig Heart finished speaking, he immediately raised everyone's scruples: "But what if the country of Feng goes to our throne and takes our city!
Guozhu Li asked: "That's right, these are indeed our scruples, so we are gathered here today, and we hope that Zhu Guozhu will put forward a high opinion!"
The other two nodded again and said, "Yes, yes!"
Zhu Xin said repeatedly: "Don't worry, don't worry! I'll tell you about it today, and I'll wait until I go to get the map and come back." ”
Zhu Xin turned out of the gate and turned into the courtyard, Luo Yong presented the map, and at the same time said: "Wang, the investigation is clear, each of them has brought 20 soldiers into the city, and about 500 soldiers are stationed in each of the city-states outside the city, and the three small city-states together have as many as 1,500 people!"
Zhu Xin smiled and said, "It seems that the previous convention has been broken, and everyone is afraid." ”
Since the maple snow took the city, but the throne of the people. Begin. Ever since Fengxue no longer obeyed the indemnity paid by the defeated side since ancient times. Ever since he annexed the territory of the Flame Nation and its vassals.
The rules changed, and everyone began to be afraid, and the three of them came out and actually brought out most of the soldiers of a small Bangshan.
After Zhu Xin finished speaking, he picked up the map and walked in with a heavy heart.
There were two guards standing beside each of the small state lords, and when Zhu Xin came in, they immediately retreated.
Zhu Xin pointed to the country with the largest area on the map and said, "The country of Feng is now strong and strong, and we should not provoke it." Looking at the Chengbang of the four of us, the geographical location is very bad, and the enemy can't defend it from where it attacks!"
Li Guozhu was the first to react: "You mean that the four of us form an alliance to fight the enemy together!"
The other two hesitated a little and asked, "With the strength of our four states alone, there are only 50,000 people and less than 5,000 soldiers, so I'm afraid it's impossible to compete with them!"
The three of them argued for ten minutes!
Zhu Xin picked up the tea, blew it, and when the temperature of the tea gradually cooled down, he drank it in one gulp, and said very slowly: "It's not an alliance!"
"Isn't it an alliance?" The three of them were a little angry, if it wasn't for the alliance, you didn't remind me of it, so much of my tongue was wasted.
"I mean we can't hold it at all, instead we want to send gifts to Maple Snow in exchange for the mercy of Maple Snow's men, and even hope to become one of Maple Snow's vassals. Zhu Xin said.
"What are you going to give? gold and silver treasures? These maple snow are not lacking at all, and we have no rare treasures!" the crowd asked rhetorically.
"No, it's not to see what we have, but to see what Fengxue wants?" replied Zhu Xin.
Zhu Xin said as he got up.
Guozhu Li asked again: "Guozhu Zhu, what Feng Xue wants most now is our territory and people, how can we give it to him!"
Zhu Xin nodded and said, "That's right, what he wants is our territory, but if I give it to Feng Xue with the three of you as gifts, Feng Xue should agree to my request to become a vassal state of Feng Zhiguo! Being cannon fodder, it shouldn't happen to me again! Sorry, the dead friend is not a poor Dao!"
As Zhu Xin's words fell, several teams of soldiers walked out of the door, and the leader was Rayong.
When the two of them met before, Rayong had already determined the number of people and inquired about the information.
The three shouted, "Soldier, come quickly!
"Don't shout, I've led someone to cut down those fifty-four!" said Rayong.
After Zhu Xin finished taking the map, Luo Yong immediately led people to kill the guards.
With the strength of Rayong's four-star generals, it was easy to kill those guards.
Lord Li was a little frightened and said: "Zhu Xin, you are against tradition, but don't be arrogant." ”
He said word by word: "In such a short time, the army of the country of Feng will not be able to come here at all, the three of us have left an army of nearly 1,500 people outside the city, and it will take at least two days for the army of Feng to come here, do you think you can hold out until then?"
Zhu Xin said: "The dead don't care what happens after death. ”
As several teams entered, the three lords were killed one by one.
