Chapter 177 Peng Ru is in prison, the second battle will begin, and he will be captured within five days
Tang Dynasty!
In the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, Chen Zhengru's voice was full of coldness.
As the prime minister of the current dynasty, he was also a scholar in the literary palace.
No one in the Great Wei Wen Palace dared to speak out against his angry rebuke.
The reason why they scolded Xu Qingxiao was entirely because of Xu Qingxiao's age, and she had only appeared for less than a year.
Naturally, everyone was a little dissatisfied.
But Chen Zhengru is different. Everyone still respects Chen Zhengru, no matter Chen Zhengru's age or Chen Zhengru's status.
This sound is old but never dead.
Come out with this sound.
It can be said that he trampled Peng Ru's face under his feet without showing any politeness at all.
No one dared to speak, even the great Confucians did not dare to say anything. Chen Zhengru had already spoken to this extent, and whoever dared to provoke him again.
I'm afraid I'm just looking for death.
"Ah!"
"What a saying that never dies!"
"Well, get out of here."
"Master Chen, you have read a lot of sages' books over the years."
At this moment, Zhang Ning's voice sounded. Since they had already broken up, Zhang Ning didn't care about Chen Zhengru at all. He said sarcastically, with inexplicable sarcasm in his words.
It's nothing more than to say that Chen Zhengru is full of authority.
"Zhang Ning."
"Don't be weird here."
"The country of the Wei Dynasty has now suffered a great humiliation. We have tried our best to protect the country and our country, but you are here to create civil strife."
"Do you know that you have committed a heinous crime?"
Chen Zhengru pointed at Zhang Ning angrily and said in a cold voice.
"A heinous crime? What a heinous crime."
"Is it right for Xu Qingxiao to kill and surrender? A saint doesn't say anything about killing, let alone surrendering an army?"
"I see that your mind has been bewitched by Xu Qingxiao. Chen Zhengru, if you have the ability, come to the Great Wei Palace and kill us all. I don't believe it today. You really dare to kill Ru."
Zhang Ning's attitude was extremely tough, and he did not believe that Chen Zhengru dared to actually kill Ru.
"Beijing soldiers obey orders!"
"Enter the Wen Palace and kill Zhang Ning!"
But before Zhang Ning could continue to be arrogant, Chen Zhengru's voice sounded.
Enter Wen Palace and kill Zhang Ning.
In an instant, hundreds of Beijing soldiers, holding swords and weapons in hand, stepped directly into the Wen Palace.
They were full of murderous intent, but they didn't talk nonsense. If Chen Zhengru said kill, they would kill.
"Chen Zhengru, do you really want Wen Gong to be stained with blood? This is a treasonous act."
"Chen Ru, we must not let Wen Gong be stained with blood, otherwise, there will be divine punishment."
"If a great scholar dies unjustly, he will be punished by the Holy Spirit."
"No! No!"
Suddenly, many great scholars spoke up. They tried to dissuade Chen Zhengru from letting the Wen palace be stained with blood. This would cause big trouble.
Since ancient times, killing Confucians has been a huge disaster, and for a dynasty, it is truly unknown.
There was a dynasty that killed Confucian scholars, but it collapsed within a hundred years.
This is not a joke, nor is it a mythical statement, but something that really happened.
"The person I killed was not a Confucian!"
"But a national traitor!"
Chen Zhengru is extremely domineering. He is going to kill Ru today to make the people in Wen Palace have some memory. At this time, he still wants to cause trouble. This is a big mistake.
Big mistake.
No matter how they make trouble on weekdays, it is their own business. Chen Zhengru does not want to deal with it, because he is also a great scholar and a member of the Wen Palace.
In fact, Chen Zhengru was already helping Xu Qingxiao. Xu Qingxiao was so angry at Wei Wengong. Chen Zhengru did not choose to help Wei Wengong, but chose to stay silent. This was already taking sides.
Standing in line with Xu Qingxiao.
Because he also felt that there was indeed something wrong with the Great Wei Wen Palace.
But no matter what the problem is, he can tolerate it. After all, everyone has different ideas and he has nothing to say.
But today, the difference is that Chen Zhengru is really angry.
These guys, taking advantage of the country's crisis, want to provoke civil strife?
Isn’t this going to destroy the country?
Once the Wei Dynasty is destroyed, who will be unlucky? It is the people of Wei Dynasty, the people of the world. In front of the people and Wen Gong, he unconditionally stands on the side of the people.
So he wanted to kill Confucius today and warn everyone with blood that at this juncture, he would kill anyone who dared to cause trouble.
The worst that can happen is that you will suffer infamy, and the worst that can happen is that you will be cast aside by scholars all over the world.
He wants a clear conscience.
The soldiers from the Eight Gates rushed in, each with a cold face, and they drew their long knives.
Walked towards Zhang Ning.
This is not a joke or a scare, this is really about killing someone.
"Chen Zhengru, do you really dare to kill Ru?"
Zhang Ning's fingers trembled in anger, but this also proved that he was scared, really scared, otherwise, he would not be like this.
"kill!"
Chen Zhengru didn't talk nonsense, he just used the word "kill" to prove his attitude.
It was at this time.
A voice sounded.
"enough."
The voice sounded, and it was Peng Ru's voice.
He wielded a cane and slowly appeared in front of everyone.
The soldiers stopped.
After all, they still have to respect a great scholar of heaven and earth.
"I've seen Peng Ru before."
All the great scholars looked at Peng Ru and bowed together to show their respect.
Chen Zhengru looked at Peng Ru, with only indifference in his eyes and no other emotions.
There is no need for him to respect this kind of person. He is a traitor to the country and is causing harm to the country and the people.
However, when everyone thought that Peng Ru came out to challenge Chen Zhengru, his voice surprised everyone.
"I will go with you to the prison."
He spoke calmly, with just one sentence, which shocked everyone.
"Peng Ru! This is absolutely impossible."
"Peng Ru, you are a great scholar in the world, so you must not do this."
"Peng Ru!"
All the great scholars spoke one after another. A great scholar of heaven and earth was detained and imprisoned. This was no joke.
This is not only a humiliation to the great scholars of heaven and earth, but also a humiliation to the great Wei Palace.
If this really happened, it would be a huge shame for the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty, and all scholars would be sad and angry.
How can it not be a great shame and humiliation for a great scholar of heaven and earth to be imprisoned in a heavenly prison?
"alright."
"Justice lies in the heart of the people."
"Stop fighting."
Peng Ru said that he didn't want to fight anymore and was willing to go to the prison.
It's just that this sentence is fair and reasonable, but it seems disgusting inexplicably.
"Master Chen, can I go with you to the prison?"
Peng Ru spoke up and asked Chen Zhengru.
The latter's face was cold and silent for a while. He didn't know what Peng Ru was up to, but what he knew was that it was absolutely impossible for Peng Ru to go to the prison willingly.
With this kind of existence, letting him go to the prison is no more uncomfortable than killing him.
So he must have other thoughts and purposes.
But Chen Zhengru couldn't imagine what other purpose he had.
"As long as Peng Ru cooperates, everything will be easy to talk about."
However, Chen Zhengru still acted in accordance with the law. Xu Qingxiao ordered to be imprisoned in Tianlao, but did not directly say that he wanted to kill Peng Ru. Moreover, he did not dare to kill a great scholar of heaven and earth, as the impact would be too great.
He would dare to kill a great Confucian, but he would not dare to kill a great Confucian.
So no matter what tricks the other party wants to play, it can only be done business.
"Peng Ru, I'll go with you."
"You've gone too far, Peng Ru, I'll let you go."
"Let's go, I'll go with Peng Ru."
All the great scholars spoke one after another, wanting to follow Peng Ru into the heavenly prison.
Zhang Ning was the first to come and expressed his loyalty.
"No, just me and Zhang Ning can go together. Xu Qingxiao is also going to punish us, so you don't want to go."
"The Great Wei Palace will be left to you."
Peng Ru spoke slowly. He didn't need anyone else to follow him, he only needed Zhang Ning.
As Peng Ru's words rang out, all the great scholars said nothing. Their eyes were filled with hatred as they looked at Chen Zhengru.
The great scholar of heaven and earth in the Wen Palace of the Great Wei Dynasty, almost the living leader, was captured and imprisoned in the heavenly prison.
Is there anything more shameful than this?
Peng Ru stood up. He was holding a cane, his body was stooped, and he was dying of age, which made people feel sad inexplicably.
It's just that this sadness is the sadness of a great scholar from Zhu Sheng's lineage.
Chen Zhengru didn't care.
But he was filled with many doubts.
He really didn't understand why Peng Ru took the initiative to go to Tianlao. Was he bowing to the general trend?
He didn't believe that a person like Peng Ru could become a great scholar in the world, so how could he bow down to the general trend?
To put it bluntly, if I really wanted to kill Peng Ru, it would be impossible with the Eight Gates' soldiers alone. The moment the knife fell, a lot of power would inevitably appear.
Stop yourself.
It is undoubtedly a foolish dream to kill a great scholar of heaven and earth. At least Chen Zhengru is not qualified.
But what is Peng Ru thinking? What is he plotting?
Chen Zhengru was curious.
If Peng Ru dares to go to Tianlao so openly, he must have his own plans, but what other plans does he have at the moment to make a comeback?
Do you want to advocate for yourself through scholars all over the world?
This is obviously impossible. Putting him in prison does not mean that he will die. Scholars all over the world will be angry, but no matter how angry they are, all they have to do is let Peng Ru out.
Moreover, the main purpose of detaining Peng Ru was not to suppress Peng Ru, but to stop him from causing civil strife.
That's all.
Chen Zhengru wanted to kill Ru and Zhang Ning, but the appearance of Peng Ru stopped the killing. Such cooperation with him actually put him in an embarrassing situation.
However, Chen Zhengru didn't care.
The Wei Dynasty has reached this point. This is a battle to defend the country. Not to mention being expelled from the Wen Palace of the Wei Dynasty, Chen Zhengru doesn't care even if he is no longer a great scholar.
"Take the prisoner to the prison."
People were already following. Chen Zhengru waved his hand and asked the soldiers from the Eight Gates to escort Peng Ru and Zhang Ning into the sky prison.
At that moment, the soldiers from the Eight Gates led the two men directly to the Heavenly Prison. Peng Ru did not walk very fast, and the soldiers from the Eight Gates did not dare to say anything. As long as they cooperated, they were not willing to kill Ru.
Outside the Wen Palace.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Chen Zhengru didn't feel guilty at all, but instead warned him coldly.
"When the Wei Dynasty is going to war, I hope you all will be more honest, and I also warn the scholars in the world not to cause civil strife at this juncture. Once discovered, you will be severely punished."
Chen Zhengru left these words and then turned around and left.
Now that things have reached this point, there is nothing more to say.
However, Chen Zhengru did not go to Tianlao or the palace. Instead, he came to the Ministry of Personnel and drafted a document to declare to the world.
The Wei Dynasty is undergoing a hundred years of changes. The people of the world must be wary of foreign enemies causing internal strife, and must not listen to rumors. The Wei court will announce all matters to the world with an imperial edict.
During this period, anyone who spreads rumors and causes trouble out of nothing, no matter what the intention, will be severely punished. If the people hear about it and find out, they can report it to the local government. If it is verified to be true, they will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver.
This notice targets two factors.
One is a scholar from Zhu Sheng's lineage, and the other is a vassal king from various places.
Now that public opinion has gathered like fire and everyone is united, this announcement will surely suppress the feudal king and some people with ulterior motives.
After the notice was written, Chen Zhengru also came to the Wenhua Hall immediately.
Give the notice to Xu Qingxiao.
"Sir Xu, Peng Ru took the initiative to subdue the law and took Zhang Ning to the prison."
Chen Zhengru handed the notice to Xu Qingxiao for review and mentioned something at the same time.
"kindness."
"Master Chen, what do you think of this matter?"
Xu Qingxiao took a look at the notice and saw that there was nothing critical about it. There was almost no need to question Chen Zhengru in terms of internal affairs. There was no doubt about Chen Zhengru's ability and talent to become the prime minister of the dynasty.
"Hard to say."
"Peng Ru would never agree so willingly."
"It's just that for a moment, I couldn't think of what Peng Ru wanted to do."
Chen Zhengru said calmly.
When he said this, Xu Qingxiao nodded.
Yes, Peng Ru was so willing, but he really felt there was something wrong.
"Ignore him for now."
"Now that he has gone to Tianlao, everything is easy to deal with. Mr. Chen, if you continue to suppress the civil strife in the Wei Dynasty, you must ask that there be only one voice in the dynasty, and that is the voice of the imperial court."
"If you want to win this battle, you must not make any mistakes."
Xu Qingxiao couldn't figure out, at least not now, what Peng Ru wanted to do.
Are you willing to go to Tianlao?
Afraid of power? This is impossible.
So why? Xu Qingxiao didn't have time to think about it, so he could only put it aside and deal with the war first.
"Okay! I will handle the internal affairs together with Zhang Shangshu and Wang Shangshu. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xu."
Chen Zhengru nodded. With the Minister of War and so many generals here, especially with Xu Qingxiao in charge, he didn't need to worry about military matters.
Now, we need to take more precautions against internal conflicts. If the enemy takes advantage of the situation, it will capsize in the gutter.
"Mr. Chen, thank you for your hard work."
Xu Qingxiao bowed to Chen Zhengru, who shook his head.
"Sir Xu, we still need to think more about the vassal king's affairs. It is impossible for them not to come out. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them."
"I will send someone to investigate first. If there are any results, I will come back to you."
Chen Zhengru left, but before leaving, he still reminded Xu Qingxiao to pay attention to the vassal king.
The affairs of scholars have been suppressed, Peng Ru has been sent to the heavenly prison, and the unstable factors have been brought under control. The next step is the affairs of the vassal kings in various places.
If we don't suppress the vassal kings in various places, we will be in trouble.
Xu Qingxiao understood what Chen Zhengru said.
Nowadays, the civil strife in the Wei Dynasty has not completely ended, because the vassal king is ready to take action.
Even if they don't come forward now, it's because they are waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to come out and cause trouble.
And this opportunity is that the Wei army is delayed, or the Wei army suffers a defeat.
Once the time is right, it is guaranteed that all places will rise up.
However, Xu Qingxiao already had a good strategy to deal with the feudal king.
It was enough to cause vassal kings everywhere to suffer a big loss.
Having said that this time, Xu Qingxiao would make the vassal kings, Wen Gong, foreign nations, including the Tuxie Dynasty, the Chu Yuan Dynasty, and the Northern Barbarians suffer a big loss.
A huge loss.
Of course, it's still a bit early to say this right now. What we have to do now is focus on the second battle.
After Chen Zhengru left.
Zhou Yan, Minister of the Ministry of War, came with some information.
"Sir Xu, the Marquis of Sheyang, the Marquis of Guangyang, and the Marquis of Linyang have already launched their first charge."
"Amuta and Tuliang did not send troops to fight, but defended the country. The war situation was anxious and they failed to achieve good results."
Zhou Yan came and brought not good news, but bad news.
When marching and fighting, the key is to work hard at one go. If you don't gain the upper hand in one go, you will easily be held back by the enemy.
At this moment, Duke An and others gathered around the sand table and began to study the terrain, simulating the battlefield in their minds.
"Amuta itself has steep mountains, and their capital is built on a precipitous place. Moreover, I know that the gate of Amuta is on the high side, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is common sense that Marquis Sheyang failed to achieve good results.
matter."
Duke An Guo pointed at the gate of Amuta in the sand table and said this.
"More than that, Amuta and Tuliang are adjacent to each other. Behind them are four or five tribal countries. The land is flat and is very convenient for transporting weapons and food. If we cannot capture the city within five days."
"It's going to be a protracted war."
Duke Lu's voice sounded, and he spoke of the advantages of the two countries.
This is indeed a trouble for Da Wei.
Siege warfare is the simplest. Once the gate is broken, everything is easy.
But siege warfare is also the most troublesome. Defending the city gates gives you a huge advantage. You can risk your life, but others won't fight with you.
People are guarding the country's gates.
Use up your elite first. If you retreat, they will be replaced by someone else to defend.
If you really open the country, don't be afraid. The soldiers inside have sharpened their swords and are waiting for you.
Especially after Xu Qingxiao surrendered, everyone's mentality has been completely calmed down.
Anyway, you will die if you surrender, and if you don't surrender, you will die.
It's better to fight with you.
Looking at the sand table, Xu Qingxiao frowned slightly.
After a while, Xu Qingxiao spoke.
"Pass the military order! Burn the imperial edict, ask Sheyang Marquis Mingjin to withdraw his troops, adjust the situation, and charge the next day."
Xu Qingxiao conveyed military orders.
Ming Jin withdraws the troops.
After saying this, everyone said nothing. It was not a good thing for Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. At least it was a bad start for the second battle.
The Second Army was too far away from the Wei Dynasty.
Important information must be burned to convey the message.
The imperial decree was extremely troublesome, and the Wei imperial palace did not have many. The first army brought one hundred seals, the second army brought three hundred seals, and the third army also brought three hundred seals.
Information that is not very important is usually delivered by messenger.
Not long after, Zhou Yan, the Minister of War, drafted a decree from Heaven and then burned it.
And tens of thousands of miles away.
The Qilin Army who were fighting suddenly heard the sound of gold.
"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!"
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops! Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
"Go back! Everyone go back!"
As various shouts rang out, the soldiers fled towards the camp.
The city gate of Amuta is still accompanied by all kinds of arrow rain. For Amuta's army, they will not miss this opportunity to beat the drowned dog.
However, after the 300,000-strong army was basically evacuated, the Amuta soldiers put down their bows and arrows and let out a harsh laugh.
"Hahahaha! This is the army of a noble country? How ridiculous!"
"Everyone can run faster than a rabbit, and you still have a unicorn army? It's really embarrassing."
"I thought they were so brave? It's nothing more than that."
"It's really ridiculous. It's really a joke."
"Qilin Army? Are the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty so incompetent?"
They stood at the entrance of the city and laughed loudly, and their voices penetrated ten miles and reached the ears of the Qilin Army.
For a while, the Qilin Army felt aggrieved and uncomfortable.
They feel aggrieved and uncomfortable not because of the insults, but because of the success of these villains.
In a siege battle, the siege itself is at a disadvantage. If they charge head-on, why should they fear it?
Relying on the advantage of defending the city, thinking that they are brave? They are nothing more than a bunch of shrinking turtles.
Unfortunately, the first charge did not gain any advantage, but resulted in many casualties.
Elsewhere, the Marquis of Linyang returned from the left wing with an army of 300,000 men, because it was not time for them to take action.
The remaining 200,000 troops went to attack Tu Liangguo. Now all the troops have returned and are preparing for the second charge.
This time, the main charge at Amuta's gate was their 300,000-strong army.
The 300,000-strong army failed to break through the country's gate. It cannot be said that the Qilin Army is incompetent. It can only be said that the other side is too well prepared.
They had already prepared for seven days when the war was declared. Later, due to Xu Qingxiao's killing and night attack, Amuta and Tuliang Kingdom were too well prepared.
In siege warfare, one must either rely on the number of people to fight hard or rely on resourcefulness. Otherwise, it is normal to win with fewer people.
Winning 300,000 against 300,000 is not a miracle.
Most veterans understand this.
The first charge was just a trial one.
An hour later, inside the camp of the Second Army of the Wei Dynasty.
Most of the soldiers were camping, while a small number of soldiers were cooking or caring for the wounded.
And inside the main camp.
More than thirty generals gathered, and everyone looked unhappy.
The Marquis of Sheyang is sitting on the main seat, while the Marquis of Guangyang and Linyang are sitting on the left and right. The three Marquises are okay and can keep their minds stable.
"Report!"
"General, in this Amuta charge, 7,000 of our troops were killed, 12,000 were seriously injured, and 35,000 were slightly injured."
As an alarm sounded.
The expressions of Marquis Guangyang and Marquis Linyang changed.
Seven thousand people died.
Twelve thousand serious injuries?
It's not a minor injury, just apply some medicine and it'll be fine tomorrow.
The focus is on the issue of casualties.
If there is no accident, at least 30% of the 12,000 serious injuries will not survive more than seven days.
In other words, in the first charge, 10,000 people died.
The price is really high.
"These aliens really deserve to die."
The Marquis of Guangyang stood up and cursed loudly.
The casualties were so heavy, the city gates had not yet been breached, and there was not even any progress. How could this not make him furious?
"Twenty thousand Marquis Xinwu captured the capital of the Fan Kingdom, and ten thousand of us died without even opening the city gate. According to this process, if one hundred thousand soldiers are not killed, I am afraid that the gate of Amuta will not be opened."
Marquis Linyang did not get angry, but expressed his prediction.
One hundred thousand opened the country.
Even if he won, it would be a miserable victory.
And there are many countries waiting for us to fight.
There were only so many soldiers in the Wei Dynasty, and this time almost half of the troops came out.
Even if all the soldiers' lives were sacrificed to defeat the countries, it would still be a loss of blood.
"Marquis Sheyang, according to my wishes, a direct general attack with an army of 900,000 people, suppressing them in numbers, fighting with all their might, I don't believe we can't open their country."
"As long as we can enter the country, everything is easy. It's better than this. Charge like this will only increase casualties."
The Marquis of Guangyang spoke. He hoped to open the door to the enemy's country through overwhelming numbers.
At the very least, it's ten thousand times better than this.
However, his proposal was instantly rejected by Marquis Guangyang.
"With an army of nine hundred thousand, we will attack the gate of Amuta. We will have to pay the price of at least one hundred thousand soldiers!"
"After breaking through the country, what will happen? The Tuliang Kingdom will definitely provide support, and other countries will also provide troops and horses. When the time comes, we will not be able to retreat even if we want to."
"It is very likely that he will be eaten alive in Amuta's country."
"If this is the case, all 900,000 troops are killed in battle, which is terrible news for the Wei Dynasty."
"The Kingdom of Wei will pay a huge price for this. Are you confused?"
The Marquis of Sheyang directly rejected it.
A total attack of 900,000 people?
What kind of scene is this? It’s densely packed with people. They use catapults and various large weapons to hit it casually, and hundreds of people will be killed.
In one hour, there were tens of thousands of casualties.
As long as you persist for three or four hours, what will happen if you open the country?
After entering, are you familiar with the environment? I'm afraid you are just waiting for others to kill you.
Of course, an army of 900,000 people can indeed kill all the soldiers of Amuta, but you must remember that the Wei Dynasty is declaring war on hundreds of countries, not just one Amuta.
If you declare war on an Amuta.
When the 900,000-strong army arrives, Amuta is about to surrender.
Therefore, he rejected this irrational proposal on the spot.
"The Marquis of Sheyang and the Marquis of Guangyang are just angry for a moment."
"At the moment, a general offensive is definitely not possible, but if we fight a protracted war like this, it will also be detrimental to the Wei Dynasty."
"Brother Shouren said that it would be difficult to capture Amuta within five days."
The Marquis of Linyang tried to get along, but the Marquis of Guangyang was obviously a little angry and confused. He definitely didn't mean it this way.
"Never mind it for now, order the three armies to rest and recuperate. We will assemble and charge tomorrow. However, we will add 100,000 people to the scene and fight fiercely for three hours. If the country has not been breached in three hours, we will call for gold and withdraw our troops."
The Marquis of Sheyang issued a military order.
No matter what, if there is no clear instruction from above, he will follow what he said before.
Sacrifice is inevitable.
Is there any war without death?
All we can say is to reduce casualties as much as possible.
"I'll obey!"
The soldiers stood up and replied that since Marquis Sheyang had given the order, they must obey it. Even if they knew it was meaningless, the duty of a soldier was to obey.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded.
"Report!"
"The envoy from the Tang Dynasty came to see you."
As this voice sounded, everyone's eyes suddenly showed surprise.
But soon everyone subdued their surprise and was replaced by indifference. They sat upright and posed.
This time, the targets of the Second Army are Tang State, Amuta, and Tuliang.
There is absolutely no problem in declaring war on the Three Kingdoms in one go.
But this is not a head-on confrontation, but a siege, so the Wei army will suffer. If it is not a siege, who is afraid of whom?
At the moment, the military intelligence conveyed by Xu Qingxiao is very simple, allowing the Tang State to surrender.
Because after all, the Tang State was still a branch of the Wei Dynasty, not a foreign race, but the same clan and clan.
You can give Tang this opportunity. If Tang is willing to surrender and support Wei unconditionally, then Wei can let Tang go.
The premise is that the Tang State must cooperate with the Wei Dynasty to attack Amuta and Tuliang.
Now, everyone must put up a good posture and face the Tang envoy.
"Xuan."
Marquis Sheyang said calmly.
The next moment, four or five envoys came in.
Their faces were full of arrogance. Even when facing the princes of the Wei Dynasty, they did not have the attitude of a vassal state, but looked a little arrogant.
Obviously, they knew that Wei Dynasty now wanted something from them, so they took a full stance.
"The lower official Xu Mao is the Minister of Rites of the Tang Dynasty. I have met the Marquis of Sheyang and all the generals."
Xu Mao walked in and bowed to the Marquis of Sheyang. After all, he was just the Minister of Rites, while the Marquis of Sheyang was the prince of the Wei Dynasty. Furthermore, when entering someone else's territory, you can be arrogant, but not too arrogant.
What if it gets chopped off?
It is true that the two countries will not kill the envoys, but who are these people? They are soldiers, and they are all reckless men. If you are really anxious, you can chop them down with a knife, what can you do?
"Master Xu, what are your thoughts on coming here this time?"
Marquis Sheyang did not appear particularly arrogant, but directly asked Xu Mao straight to the point.
Ask him what he thinks?
Hearing this, Xu Mao smiled slightly.
"Master Hou."
"The Tang State is a branch of the Wei Dynasty. We are all from the same clan and the blood flowing in our bodies is our origin, so the king of the Tang State is willing to surrender."
Xu Mao spoke, and as soon as he said the words, the generals were a little surprised. If there was support from the Tang State, it would really be possible to fight a protracted war.
After all, the Tang State could continuously provide grain and grass, which would also save the Wei Dynasty continuous transportation.
This link alone can consume the Qilin Army, which can take up to half a year.
Moreover, the only thing left for the Qilin Army to do is to cut off your food and grass routes. If they don't fight you, they will cut off your food and grass routes.
If it's cut off, why are you afraid of what you will do?
Can your food and grass last for one year or three years? I'm afraid half a year is not enough. If I harass you for nothing, who will die if you don't?
It’s just that the generals are not stupid. Does Tang State have such a good idea?
"So good!"
"The king of the Tang Dynasty still appreciates the kindness of the great Wei Dynasty."
Marquis Sheyang spoke, but he didn't look overjoyed, he was just speaking for the occasion, because he knew that the other party must have conditions.
"The Marquis is right, the Tang State has always been thinking of Wei Enze."
"However, the king is willing to surrender, but there are three conditions. If the Wei Dynasty agrees, the Tang Dynasty will do its best to support the Wei Dynasty and suppress the aliens."
Xu Mao, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, said this.
"Three?"
"tell me the story."
Marquis Sheyang asked calmly.
"First, the Tang State has always been indebted to the Wei Dynasty, and knows that the Wei Dynasty's current treasury is insufficient, and feels guilty, so it does not want the Wei Dynasty to provide excessive assistance, and plans to break away from the Wei Dynasty and become self-reliant in the future. However, the Tang State is still a loyal ally of the Wei Dynasty."
"Secondly, if this is true, it will be difficult for the Tang State to survive all of a sudden. In order to survive, we hope that the Wei Dynasty will return the Linqiu Mountains, Yunwu Mountains, and Tianze Mountains to the Tang State. These three places have been
The land of the Tang Kingdom is still here today, which is a good thing to talk about."
"Thirdly, if the Tang Dynasty assists the Wei this time, the Tang Dynasty will definitely do its best and pay a bloody price to let Amuta and Tuliang know the power of the Wei Dynasty. However, the morale of the Tang Dynasty soldiers is low. Due to natural and man-made disasters, the treasury is empty, so there is no hope.
The Wei Dynasty first borrowed 100,000 taels of silver to reward the three armies and improve their morale."
"Master Marquis, I beg the Wei Dynasty to help. We and the Tang State are willing to do our best to help the Wei Dynasty."
Xu Mao opened his mouth and gave three conditions, each more severe than the last.
Break away from the Wei Dynasty! It sounds so nice, but self-reliance is nothing more than having full wings and not wanting to be governed by the Wei Dynasty.
There are also Linqiu Mountains, Yunwu Mountains, and Tianze Mountains, which are rich in iron stone. This kind of thing is of great significance to the Wei Dynasty. Swords and armor are all made of this iron stone.
When you conquered the Tang State, was it for these three mountain ranges to be returned to the Tang State?
Is it just a dream?
This is more precious and valuable than millions of taels of silver.
The last one is even more ruthless. He agreed to the first two and still wants to help with a hundred thousand taels of silver?
Why the hell didn't you go and grab it?
I have one hundred thousand taels of silver, can't I reward the three armies myself?
With one thousand taels of silver per person, do you think this 900,000-strong army will attack the city? Will they risk their lives?
So damn funny.
After Xu Mao finished speaking, he made three demands, causing all the soldiers to change their faces three times.
"dream!"
"The Linqiu Mountain Range has belonged to me, the Wei Dynasty, since ancient times. When did it become the property of your Tang State? Do you want face?"
"If you leave the Wei Dynasty, leave the Wei Dynasty. What is self-reliance? Self-reliance is your mother, you are a piece of shit."
"One hundred thousand taels of silver? Do you, Tang Guo, deserve it?"
The generals couldn't help but cursed loudly. They couldn't help it.
Xu Mao didn't feel angry at all, but kept smiling. He had already anticipated everyone's attitude.
Because of these three conditions, Dawei could agree to any one of them.
If Da Wei agrees, then even better, he will make money with his blood.
"It seems that Tang State has made it clear that it wants to become an enemy of Wei Dynasty."
Marquis Sheyang was sitting on the Grand Master's chair. He did not get angry, but asked calmly.
"The Marquis is joking, how could the Tang State be an enemy of the Wei Dynasty? It's just that the Tang State is indeed in dilapidated condition, so it can only be like this. If the Marquis does not agree, there will be nothing we can do."
The latter didn't care. He came here not for negotiation at all, but just to silence Da Wei.
Don't say I won't surrender, it's just that you don't agree to my conditions.
This was done to appease the people of the Tang state. After all, they were all from the same clan. If a fight really broke out, it would be one's own family fighting their own family, and the people would not be happy to see it.
Therefore, in order to appease the anger of the people, we must come and meet him.
Wait until Wei is sure that he won't agree, then take your time.
Of course, this is just to look good on the surface. In fact, the people of Tang State were quite happy to break away this time.
As long as it breaks away from the Wei Dynasty, the Tang State will feel comfortable. It can do whatever it wants. There is no need to be restricted by others. Why pay taxes and tribute? Go away.
And who doesn’t want their country to become stronger?
The same was true in the Tang Dynasty.
Who doesn’t hope that the next Wei Dynasty will be their own country?
Very simple reason.
"see a visitor out!"
Marquis Sheyang didn't talk nonsense. Two simple words represented his attitude.
But Xu Mao was not angry, he was still smiling. When he heard the word "see off", he bowed to Marquis Sheyang.
"Master Hou, this matter is not urgent. If Master Hou figures it out, he can send someone to find me at any time."
Xu Mao smiled.
The next moment he turned around and left.
But just as he turned to leave, a roar sounded.
It was Marquis Sheyang who slapped the table, smashing the main table into pieces.
Xu Mao did not turn around, nor was he afraid, but walked out of the barracks openly. After he walked out of the barracks, several voices came into his ears.
"That's too much!"
"That's too much!"
"King of Tang! You will regret it!"
It was the angry voice of Marquis Sheyang, an extremely suppressed voice.
Hearing this angry voice, Xu Mao was very calm. Everything was as expected.
Anyone would be angry.
But Xu Mao understood one thing more. The Tang State had completely offended the Wei Dynasty, so the Tang State must quickly arm itself in case the Wei Dynasty could not attack Amuta and Tuliang.
Assembling an army of 900,000 to attack Tang would be troublesome.
Therefore, the Tang State must be fully armed, so support from various countries must arrive as soon as possible.
He could predict that the Wei Qilin Army would have a head-on confrontation with the Tang State sooner or later.
However, as long as assistance from various countries comes in time, Tang will be in an invincible position.
Because the Tang State had two gates.
The outer one is the defensive city, while the inner one is the main city. It is impossible for the Wei Qilin Army to escape the defensive city.
And if you send some people to the front and some to go behind, it doesn't make any sense, because there are a large number of troops guarding the main city.
It is difficult for an army of 300,000 to attack.
This is the confidence of the Tang Dynasty!
Consumption?
Then I’ll spend it with you!
He wanted to see how the Wei Dynasty defeated the Tang Dynasty.
Not long after.
Xu Mao left.
And in the military camp.
The angry Marquis Sheyang also calmed down instantly.
All the soldiers in the camp left.
He was the only one left.
The Marquis of Sheyang also slowly took out the three letters sent by Xu Qingxiao.
He opened the second letter and read it carefully.
These three letters were sent by Xu Qingxiao. The first letter read:
After the Tang envoy arrived, he opened the second letter.
After opening the second letter.
About half an hour.
The voice of Marquis Sheyang sounded.
"The three armies obey the order. Three hundred thousand troops will charge at the gate of Amuta tomorrow."
"An army of 300,000 troops marched outside the gates of the Tang Kingdom and declared war."
"Of the remaining 300,000 troops, 100,000 will be left to guard the camp, and the remaining 200,000 troops will tentatively charge at the gate of Tuliangguo."
This is the military order from Marquis Sheyang!
It was also Xu Qingxiao’s order.
At this moment, it wasn't just the other soldiers who were curious.
Marquis Sheyang was also very curious.
What on earth is Xu Qingxiao going to do to capture the Tang Kingdom within five days!
Yes, it is clearly stated in the content of the second letter.
We must capture the Tang Dynasty!
Not Amuta and Tuliangguo.
The target of the Second Army is Tang State!
A country stronger than both Tuliang and Amuta.
Get it within five days.
It's just that the third letter can't be opened until the fifth day.
He is very curious.
Very curious.
If Amuta and Tuliang cannot be conquered, how can we attack Tang?
Is it possible that the Tang Dynasty surrendered on its own?
This is even more impossible.
But curious anyway.
He could only do it first.
That's it.
The second day.
The army went out again.
An army of 800,000 people covered the sky and the sun and headed towards three countries.
However, outside the Tang State, the 300,000-strong army did not act rashly. Instead, they were ten miles away, giving the Tang State a sense of oppression and tension.
But there was no confrontation between the two armies.
And at the same time.
The envoy from Tang State also arrived at Silong State at this time.
Asking for assistance!
Take your wife to the hospital for a physical examination!
I also do a physical exam!
Staying up late hurts your body.
