Chapter 81: The broken boulder in the chest
There are nine vassal states in southern Chu, including two first-class vassal states, Jingguo in the north and Lu in the east. Three second-class vassal states, Teng, Chen and Ye.
There were four third-class vassal states, the Jing State Cai State Jiao State and the Ning State. There were originally twelve vassal states, but three were destroyed.
The envoy from Jingguo was named Gongsun Yang, a second-rank military marquis. His official position was neither high nor low, and he was considered a descendant of a famous family.
Early in the morning, Gongsun Yang received the invitation. The general of the Huya Army came to invite him personally, saying that he was invited to visit the Jingguo army's appearance in Beidaying.
Gongsun Yang was excited when he heard this. What were they doing here? It was not just to congratulate the new king of Jing State for his rise. The most important thing was to explore the situation of the three strange troops under Li Yunyi during the Battle of Cai State in Jing State.
Xiong Jun had no reputation in Nanchu before. With Li Yunyi's rise to power, his number one general attracted attention from all parties. Now Xiong Jun actually took the initiative to invite him to visit the military camp. How could Gongsun Yang miss such a good thing?
At that moment, Gongsun Yang immediately took a carriage, followed Xiong Jun out of the city secretly, and headed straight to Beidaying. After arriving at Beidaying, Xiong Jun took Gongsun Yang to a separate military camp, where there were 500 soldiers from Hanshan Camp and 50 soldiers from Shengong Camp.
What made Gongsun Yang even more ecstatic is that—
Xiong Jun asked the Five Hundred Mountain Shaking Camp to perform, such as raising a giant cauldron with one hand to show its power, such as 101 groups fighting against each other. In addition, he also brought in a few wild beasts, and the soldiers of the Divine Bow Camp shot out the Divine Slaughter Arrows, showing the power of the Divine Slaughter Arrows on the spot.
After the display, Xiong Jun took Gongsun Yang to a barracks and said straight to the point that the secret recipe for enhancing the combat power of the soldiers could be sold, and the finished product of the God-Slaying Arrow could be sold in limited quantities.
After hearing Xiong Jun's words, Gongsun Yang was immediately filled with ecstasy. If Xiong Jun hadn't been too ugly, he would have wished he could kiss Xiong Jun a few times.
This time, I came here mainly to find out the news. Yasukuni did not think that the God Bow Camp of the Shanshan Camp would be so strong, and the power of the Blood Wolf Camp is generally recognized. However, Yasukuni was in the north, and the Blood Wolf was all in the Southern Barbarian Mountains, so they had no idea.
Gongsun Yang witnessed the power of the Shanshan Camp and the Shengong Camp with his own eyes. If he could get the secret recipe and the God-Slaying Arrow, he would make great contributions this time.
After some discussion, Gongsun Yang hurried back to the city. Xiong Jun's price was a bit high, and there were some additional conditions. He could not make the decision and needed to urgently send back through the channels of the Jingguo envoy of the Sifangguan, asking the Jingguo Lord to decide.
Gongsun Yang had just left, and Long Yun took the envoys of Lu and sneaked into Beidaying. Then Xiong Jun showed the power of the Shanshan Camp and the Shengong Camp. The envoys of Lu were also very happy and had a secret conversation and left in a hurry.
Then Long Yun brought the envoy from Teng Kingdom. After seeing the power of the Hanshan Camp and the Shengong Camp, the envoy from Teng Kingdom was overjoyed.
However, the conditions prescribed by Xiong Jun this time were not to ask for money and medicinal materials, but to let Tengguo cooperate with Jingguo's military operations and jointly attack Caiguo.
The eastern part of Jing State is Cai State, and the eastern part of Cai State is Teng State.
Moreover, Teng Kingdom is a second-class vassal state with a strong military force. If Teng Kingdom and Jing Kingdom join forces, Cai Kingdom will be destroyed in minutes.
The envoy of Teng Kingdom was frightened. He came to inquire about intelligence and actually participated in such a large military operation?
He naturally did not dare to make decisions about such major events and left in a hurry, and needed to report them to the Teng Kingdom as soon as possible.
The envoy of Teng Kingdom had just left, and the envoy of Chen Kingdom came, and then the envoy of Ye Kingdom...
In the afternoon, all the envoys from the seven countries came to visit Beidaying and saw the power of the Shanshan Camp and the Divine Arrow. All the envoys from the seven countries secretly contacted the envoys from the Sifang Pavilion and passed the news back as quickly as possible.
In the afternoon, the envoy of Southern Chu, Xiao Tianhou, received the news. Although he didn't know what Xiong Jun had talked with the envoys of the seven countries, he received the news that all the envoys of the seven countries went to Beidaying, and then contacted the envoys of Sifangguan to convey the message and returned to the country.
He lived in a luxurious palace in Sifang Pavilion and waited in the palace for more than an hour. Seeing Xiong Jun and Long Yun had no intention of inviting him to Beidaying, he was a little angry.
What does Li Yunyi mean? Do you look down on him or Nan Chu?
Li Yunyi did not come to the evening banquet, but Zhang Muzhi and others were accompanying him. After dinner, Zhu Xiaotian couldn't sit still and went to Jingyi Palace to find Li Yunyi in person.
The envoys of Nanchu were about to meet, but Li Yunyi did not dare to continue to show off his airs, and personally asked Eunuch Fu to push him to the palace gate to greet him.
After some politeness, Li Yunyi welcomed Zhu Xiaotian in with a very good attitude and was very polite. After entering, Li Yunyi and Zhu Xiaotian began to talk about the customs and customs of Jingguo, and then talked about the young Junyan in Nanchu, and finally talked about the world pattern of the major dynasties in the entire Dongshenzhou.
The two chatted for more than an hour, and finally Zhu Xiaotian couldn't help it. He asked casually: "King Yi, I heard that all the envoys from all countries went to Beidaying in the afternoon? Why don't you take me to visit?"
"Oh? There's still this?"
Li Yunyi's expression changed slightly, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Xiao Anzi, go and send Xiong Jun over!"
After Xiao Anzi went down, Li Yunyi turned his head and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiaotianhou, I am not very clear about this matter. I will ask about the situation first, drink tea, drink tea."
After a while, Xiong Jun hurried over, Li Yunyi scolded with a calm face: "Xiong Jun, Xiaotianhou said that you have invited envoys from all countries to visit Beidaying today? Is there such a thing!"
"Go back to Your Highness!"
Xiong Jun said with a serious look: "The general went to Gongcheng today to inspect military affairs. He just returned to Jingcheng. How could he take the envoys of various countries to Beidaying? If your highness doesn't believe it, you can ask the Heilongtai. If there is a half false statement, the general is willing to lead the military law."
Xiaotian's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Xiong Jun's serious nonsense. He glanced at Li Yunyi, who spread his hands and said, "Mr. Marquis, is your news wrong?"
"hehe!"
Xiaotianhou smiled and said nothing. It was obviously Li Yunyi and Xiong Jun who were singing a double act. He believed that Nan Chu's spies would never make any mistakes. Li Yunyi refused to admit it, and he had nothing to say.
Zhu Xiaotian pondered for a moment, but did not hide it anymore. He said straight to the point: "King Yi, I am very interested in your Shanshan Camp Blood Wolf Camp Bloody Camp. Can you tell me that I can arrange it and let me visit?"
"oh?"
Li Yunyi smiled and said, "Our Jing State is just a third-class vassal state, and its military strength is also very weak. It is the honor of Jing State to be able to enter the eyes of Xiaotianhou? Xiong Jun, let the Marquis go to visit tomorrow and show it well, so don't weaken the majesty of our Jing State soldiers."
"Here!"
Xiong Jun went down, and Zhu Xiaotian went back with satisfaction.
The next day, at midnight, Xiong Jun personally invited Zhu Xiaotian, Zhang Muzhi and other court officials to accompany him, which made Zhu Xiaotian very satisfied.
However, not long after the carriage was driven, Zhu Xiaotian discovered something was wrong. The envoys from the other seven countries actually came and followed behind.
He originally thought Xiong Jun would arrange for him to visit the God Bow Camp and the Blood Wolf Camp alone, and then he took the opportunity to have a secret conversation with Xiong Jun. He sent a message to Li Yunyi through Xiong Jun to see if he could get the training methods of these three types of troops. Now that the envoys of the seven countries are here, how about you talking about a secret conversation?
After going to Beidaying, Zhu Xiaotian was even more stunned!
Beidaying gathered five thousand troops. The five thousand troops were wearing colorful armor and holding various weapons, lined up in a crooked manner, and the entire school ground was noisy. When they came in, the soldiers were still talking nonstop...
Xiong Jun roared a few times, and the soldiers finally calmed down, and then they began the so-called performance and display.
At the beginning, the individual competition was shown. Thirty groups of sergeants came and started to "contest", which made Zhu Xiaotian almost vomit blood. This was not a competition, it was similar to a rogue and rogue fight. Several groups of opponents used shrew moves such as "inserting eyes", "grabbing hair", and "monkey stealing peaches", which made Zhu Xiaotian feel sore...
After the individual competition, there was a group duel, and five hundred people on both sides began to rush. Zhu Xiaotian saw hundreds of big men holding each other and rolling on the ground, and his head was a few big. What's the difference between this and a group of gangsters fighting?
What made Zhu Xiaotian vomit blood even more was the subsequent performance.
Xiong Jun also proudly introduced that this was the skill of their Tiger Ya Army, and there was absolutely no other vassal states and the Southern Chu army.
Then, under Zhu Xiaotian's somewhat anticipated gaze, several "warriors" from the Huya Army performed the unique skills of "breaking big stones on the chest", "slicing bricks with one hand", "strolling stilts", "changing faces", "snatching copper coins in the oil pan" and other unique skills.
"good!"
"Awesome!"
"General Xiong, Jingguo has this army, no wonder he can sweep the Caiguo army!"
"Yes, General Xiong is a talent. If Jingguo can't make it one day, our Jingguo warmly welcomes you, and the First-class Military Marquis will be waiting for the rank of a short position."
“…”
What made Zhu Xiaotian speechless was that the envoys of the seven kingdoms even applauded each other, and they didn't look like they were fake.
It seemed that Jingguo's army was really strong, unlike what he saw, which made Zhu Xiaotian wonder if he had something wrong with his eyes or his mind was a little abnormal?
Fortunately, he saw that Zhang Muzhi and the others had a little unnatural expression, and several ministers lowered their heads in shame.
They all knew in their hearts that Xiong Jun was deliberately doing it under Li Yunyi's instructions. But they didn't know why Li Yunyi was like this. They couldn't figure it out, and they didn't dare to ask more questions.
In the hearts of all the ministers, Li Yunyi was a tyrant and could not listen to any advice. They didn't need to have too many ideas or ask more questions. Just follow him and do it.
