Why did the Jin State choose to hold the alliance in Pingqiu?
The answer lies in these four thousand military vehicles!
Ji Le, who was on the side, had never seen such a big scene before, and his mouth turned into an "O" shape for a moment. Looking at the mighty and unrivaled army of hundreds of thousands in front of him, he was stunned with shock.
Hearing Li Ran's voice, he came back to his senses and asked in surprise:
"What is the reason?"
Li Ran looked at the flying dust in the distance and couldn't help but sigh:
"The terrain of this hill is flat and stretches as far as the eye can see. More than 4,000 military chariots are lined up in a row. It is so majestic that it looks daunting. Who among the princes in the world can rival it?"
"Han Qi chose this location for his alliance just to show off the power of his Jin army."
If he hadn't seen Han Qi leading his army like this, Li Ran probably wouldn't have thought of the reason.
At this time, when he saw Han Qi standing on the chariot and scolding Fang Qiu, he couldn't help but be shocked by Han Qi's cunningness.
A military chariot of the Jin State is roughly equipped with fifty people at the front and rear, and there are more than 4,000 vehicles here, which means that the Jin State dispatched at least 200,000 people this time. If a military of this size were all arrayed on foot, it would
Naturally, its momentum will be greatly reduced. But if the method of mixed walking and riding is adopted, it will be more powerful and majestic. Who will not be shocked when seeing it?
But if so many military chariots are placed in Quwo or Jiangcheng, then of course they cannot be deployed, and naturally they cannot show their aura.
It is precisely a little-known place like Pingqiu, such a spacious and desolate place, that can allow the army to line up, as vast as a swimming dragon, magnificent.
During the war, Li Ran didn't know what happened to Han Qi.
But when it comes to this face-saving project, Li Ran definitely gives Han Qi a thumbs up.
"This is so fucking awesome."
As far as he knew, the two hundred thousand soldiers now were probably the Jin's family members.
This is like the king of the forest, when he is about to die, he summons all the creatures in the forest and roars to the sky to show his kingly style. What is this if not pretense?
Spending all the efforts of the whole country just to show off his soon-to-be-lost dominance, wasting people and money, gaining face and losing dignity, is even more outrageous than the Seven Injury Fist.
"The Marquis of Jin seems to be really confused."
Li Ran shook his head and sighed. He didn't rate Han Qi's performance. After all, Han Qi's performance was specifically for the kings of the princes and had nothing to do with him.
Of course, Marquis Lu was quite shocked by this and hurriedly summoned Li Ran to ask his opinion.
Li Ran gave Han Qi a very pertinent comment: To establish power but not to establish virtue, take jujube pills.
After hearing this, Marquis Lu thought for a while and finally understood what Li Ran meant. He couldn't help but nod in affirmation.
Therefore, when the princes who originally had their own thoughts saw such a military posture of the Jin Kingdom, they all looked like eggplants beaten by frost. They had no thoughts to make any calculations, and they all said, "Don't offend the Jin State."
The idea of "country" is waiting for the beginning of the alliance.
The same goes for Ji Sunsu. He never expected that Han Qi would be so skilled.
He originally thought that this alliance was just a political show under the pretext of the civil strife in Chu. At most, he would come forward to resolve some conflicts between the Lu State and neighboring small countries, and give himself the appearance of being the leader of the alliance.
But how could he have imagined that Han Qi would be so fierce that he would mobilize the entire country's troops to "intimidate" him?
Seeing this, he who was already relieved began to become worried again. He knew that Han Qi was really a person who wanted both face and dignity.
Therefore, he couldn't help but think that if Han Qi was so face-conscious, what would he do if he really wanted to have surgery on himself, and beat him up?
But now it's obviously too late to think about this issue again. The alliance meeting will be held in two days. Even if he secretly flirts with Han Qi now, he still can't be sure whether Han Qi will help him.
"You have to try again no matter what!"
After thinking about it, Ji Sunsu felt uneasy and decided that it would be better to "say hello" to Han Qi again, so he asked Ji Sunhai to go there again with heavy gifts.
The next day, Ji Sunhai returned from Han Qi's station with a smile on his face, indicating that Han Qi had accepted the gift, and Ji Sunsu felt relieved.
In the evening, the Marquis of Lu, Ji Sunsu and Li Ran were at the station to discuss the situation that they might encounter at the meeting tomorrow. Since the Marquis of Lu had just ascended the throne, he might not be able to control the situation, fearing that he would lose the face of the Lu State.
.
Therefore, after everyone discussed it, it was decided that Dr. Ji Sun would speak on behalf of the king, and the king would only be responsible for the final step of slaying the blood.
Naturally, Marquis Lu didn't know anything about it and listened to Ji Sunsu in everything. Li Ran had no right to speak here. In the final analysis, he was just a guest. The reason why he was able to follow Marquis Lu on his mission to Jin this time was all because of Shu Sunbao's "
"Bedridden", so he could only listen to what everyone said.
After discussing the countermeasures for tomorrow, Ji Sunsu was worried that Marquis Lu would be scared and unable to hold on. He was about to pretend to comfort him again, but unexpectedly, he heard a message from a soldier outside the tent:
"Your Majesty, Doctor Jin has a sheep tongue and wants to see you."
This summons made everyone unexpected. Why did Sheeptongue suddenly come to visit this late at night?!
"Sheep tongue? What is he doing here?"
Ji Sunsu knew about Yang Yangui. When the Marquis of Lu came to the throne, Yang Yangui came to the State of Lu to observe the ceremony. As the chief minister of the Jin State, he even took Ji Sun Yiru to visit. p>
In his eyes, Yang Yangui is a stereotyped and old-fashioned person who sticks to Zhou Li's routine and refuses to change his position.
Therefore, the butt determines the head, so he has never liked sheep tongue. When he heard that he was coming to visit, he immediately frowned slightly and raised his hand to indicate that he would be brought in.
Li Ran, on the other hand, stood quietly aside, looking as if nothing had happened.
In fact, although he is behind everything that is going to happen tonight, on the surface, he is just a spectator tonight. The real protagonists are Yang Yangui and Ji Sunsu.
Sheeptongue came in, walking in as if she didn’t recognize her relatives.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Ah, Uncle Xiang is here..."
"Forget it."
Before Ji Sunsu could finish his polite words, Yang Yangui interrupted him with a cold snort.
I saw a cold look on Yang Tongue's face. After he came in, he did not greet Lu Hou. He put his hands behind his back and raised his head slightly, looking proud.
Ji Sunsu was startled when he heard the sound, and thought to himself: Did this old guy eat a firecracker or take the wrong medicine? Why does it look like he has nowhere to vent his anger?
"Yang Tongue, this is the residence of our humble monarch of the State of Lu. Although the official came to greet me, he refused to greet me. How do you say this?"
"Hmph! Ji Sunsu! Are you worthy of discussing etiquette with me?"
As soon as Ji Sunsu finished speaking, Yang Tongue fought back without hesitation.
Then, Yang Tongue's eyes darkened, and the expression on his face suddenly darkened.
"The Song Alliance has an oath that all the princes will jointly support Jin and Chu and quell the war. The princes will not start wars among themselves at will. If it is not necessary, it will be regarded as a violation of the alliance!"
"During this period, you, the State of Lu, have repeatedly occupied the two countries of Ju and Zhu, and even occupied other countries' cities and acres of land. In the eyes of your State of Lu, do you, the State of Lu, still have our Jin State as your ally?!"
Sheeptongue yelled angrily, even Ji Sunsu was severely startled and hurriedly thought of countermeasures.
But Yang Tongue didn't give him a chance, and still said indignantly:
"Now the kings of Ju and Zhu have reported this matter to the prince. The kings of their two countries came to the meeting this time in order to take back the territory from your country of Lu. When I heard that they were sending troops to take back the territory, they
We also encountered strong resistance from your Lu country, is this possible?"
"Uh...this matter..."
"Is there such a thing?"
Seeing that Ji Sunsu was still trying to make excuses, Yang Tonizhi immediately yelled again.
Ji Sunsu was startled by the roar and nodded hurriedly:
"Yes...there is such a thing...but my uncle doesn't know something...I, the Ji family, sent the army entirely because..."
"No matter what your reason is! Taking over other people's cities is a violation of the Song Alliance's agreement!"
"Shame! The State of Lu is simply a shame among the vassal states!"
Sheeptongue's face was full of indignation.
When Marquis Lu heard this, he immediately turned his eyes gently to Li Ran.
Although he knew Li Ran's plan, he didn't expect Yang Tongue's words to be so intense.
After all, he is also the king of the Lu State. If Yang Tonguei scolds the Lu State like this, isn't he scolding himself?
Unexpectedly, Li Ran only shook his head slightly, signaling that he didn't have to say anything.
And Ji Sunsu was also a little overwhelmed by the scolding from Sheep Tongue.
The main reason why he hasn't reacted yet is that he just gave another gift to Han Qi. After all, this sheep's tongue must have been with Han Qi. Why did he come to expose his old background now? This is too much
Isn’t that kind?
"To tell you the truth, I have given an order that the Marquis of Lu will not participate in tomorrow's meeting and return to the country immediately! As for the alliance meeting, I only need to send a senior official to stand in line with the senior officials of the various vassal states."
It seems that this matter has indeed reached the ears of the Marquis of Jin, otherwise Yang Tonji would never dare not to allow the majestic king of the country to participate in this alliance.
Ji Sunsu was stunned when he heard this. He had already prepared everything tonight and was waiting to speak on his behalf at the alliance meeting tomorrow to show off the majesty of his Ji family. But at this time, he was
Sheeptongue's inexplicable output was completely wiped out!
Zifujiao, who had been silent all the time, couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and argued with reason:
"Master Shuxiang, please be careful what you say! Ju and Zhu are just barbarian countries, and now you want to offend us, a country of the same clan, for the sake of these two barbarian countries. Doctor Shuxiang is ready to abandon the brotherhood in Zhou rites and ignore them.
? Well, in that case, that’s what we’re ordered to do!”
Hearing this, Yang Yanzhi turned around and met Zi Fujiao's eyes. What he didn't expect was that among the officials of the Lu State, there was someone with such eloquence. This was something he never expected.
Thought of it.
But after all, Yangtongue is not a vegetarian. After hearing this, he only thought for a moment and then immediately counterattacked:
"Haha! It turns out to be Dr. Zifu. Now our Jin State has four thousand chariots riding here. If we don't want to be reasonable, no princes can stop us! What's more, we are talking about justice now!
If you still have reason to attack other countries, then we can now lead the army of Jin and the armies of the princes to punish you for your sins because of the anger of Zhu, Ju, Qi and Zu, isn’t it okay?!” "How can it be like this! I am here, and I have traveled thousands of miles to attend this meeting. How can it be such a child's play! Where is the Marquis of Jin? I want to meet the Marquis of Jin!"
Of course, Ji Sunsu refused to give in. He glared angrily for a moment, acting very aggrieved.
"Doctor Sheeptongue, is there any misunderstanding here? I have come all the way here, and the Marquis of Jin allows me to return home like this?"
Marquis Lu was shocked. After all, it was over before it even started. This is more or less unjustifiable, right?
However, Yang Tongu only gave him a slight salute when he heard the sound, and then said calmly:
"The princes do not need to say much, and the foreign ministers only act according to the orders of the prince."
"Doctor Jisun, I also said that since it is you, the Ji family, who has seized the cities of Ju and Zhu, you should stay for this alliance meeting. Tomorrow, you can go and fight with Ju and Zhu.
Let the king of the country speak."
"I also ask you to return to the State of Lu immediately!"
Yang Tongue had no extra words to say. After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without even the slightest hesitation.
At this moment, even Ji Sunsu's countless self-confidence was shattered by the sheep's tongue. He stood there in trance, and the dull look on his face could not dissipate for a long time.
"Doctor Jisun... I am a widower..."
Of course, Marquis Lu knew that Li Ran was behind all this, so he immediately asked Ji Sunsu what to do now.
Ji Sunsu came back to his senses upon hearing the sound and immediately sighed:
"In this case, you should please come back, your Majesty. Let me handle the disputes here."
In fact, what can he do at this moment? In the Jin Kingdom, it can be said that everyone is a slave, and I am a fish.
