Chapter 1291 1291: Concealing the truth (Part 1) [Please vote]
The Southwest Continent and the Northwest Continent have been fighting each other for a year, and the Central Continent is also ready to make a move. This group of people are also thieves. They planned to end the war in the form of reinforcements from the beginning, to help one of them, so that Kang State and the Southwest Allied Forces can fight for a longer time.
, consume as much food and troops as possible. Once the time is right, you can take action and the fisherman will benefit.
After much deliberation, I chose to bet on both ends.
For this reason, two groups of envoys were sent to lobby respectively.
The envoys on one route died, but on the other they came back alive, but did not bring back the news they were expecting. Kang Guo clearly saw through their plan and refused this poisonous temptation from the beginning. Kang Guo's move was not just a toast but not a meal.
A penalty drink?
If the soft one doesn't work, then you can only use the hard one.
If it is delayed until Kang State and the Southwest Allied Forces decide the outcome, no matter who wins by then, it will be a disaster!
Several big countries in the central region are in sync with each other and are preparing to mobilize troops.
Unexpectedly, the news leaked out, and Qu State in the southeast suddenly sent troops to attack, and they had to temporarily put aside their plan to pick up the leaks. Qu State was not established for a long time, but it has developed very rapidly in recent years. If they ignore it, maybe even their hometown will be stolen!
Envoys were immediately sent to communicate and negotiate peace.
We are all neighbors separated by several small countries. We have no grudges in the past and no grudges in recent times. There is no unsolvable blood feud between our ancestors. The little brother suddenly rolls up his sleeves and hits someone without saying hello. This is wrong! Shouldn't he be punished?
An explanation?
As long as the explanation is reasonable, everyone can shake hands and make peace.
The central countries have not given up their intention to annex the northwest and southwest territories in one fell swoop - compared with such a large territory, a small profit to appease Qu State is nothing at all. This deal is a good deal. However, Qu State seems to be like this this time
After eating the weight, he became determined. He not only made things difficult for the envoy in every possible way, but also said that it would be impossible to cease the war.
The envoy was very angry in Qu State.
The original tried-and-true bribery method also hit a wall.
The envoy's confidant suggested: [I heard that the leader of Qu State, Zhai Xiaofang, has a deep affection for his queen, so maybe we can start here.]
Even if the interests of the queen and Zhai Le are consistent, it does not mean that the queen's mother's family has the same interests as Zhai Le. The situation in the southeastern continent is similar to that of the southwest, with more water and less fields, especially near the coastline. The land is not only barren but also plagued by natural disasters. Zhai Le came to power.
Later, farming was encouraged, and even against all opinions, the army was involved in private land reclamation. It took a few years for agricultural development to pick up slightly, but it was still incomparable with the central continent, which occupies a favorable geographical location. The business of the southeastern big families is intricately connected with the central part of the country.
Maybe we can use this as a breakthrough.
As long as the mother clan wavers, won’t the pillow wind start to blow?
Even if the expected effect cannot be achieved, at least we should first find out the cause of Qu Guo's sudden convulsion. If there is no benefit, what is Qu Guo's labor force doing? War is not an outing! There are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the amount of food and grass consumed in one day is astronomical.
.
What is the picture of Qu Guo?
This question is puzzling.
It even alarmed the Central Branch of the Society of Gods! The branch came forward to negotiate with the Southeast Branch, but they did not get any inside information from Yu Hai. It has to be said that starting to corrode and infiltrate from the target's personal network is indeed a tried and tested trick.
Even though Zhai Le had warned the Yue family many times over the years, and even tried to calm down Tianzao afterwards, it still couldn't be completely eliminated!
When Yu Hai told himself that there were unfamiliar faces walking around at the Yue family, Zhai Xiaofang paused while reviewing the memorial and said without changing her expression: "Oh, I already know about this matter and will deal with it later."
It's a matter involving the Yue family, and it's not easy for Yu Hai to get involved.
Seeing that Zhai Le had his own ideas, he felt relieved.
[The ministers and workers in the court did not understand it very well, and there were many objections.] Most of them complained in private, and did not dare to speak out against Zhai Le in public. This is related to the fact that the two leaders of Qu State relied heavily on military generals. The previous leader
Zhai Huan was a bit better. He was also a literary scholar, and he cared a lot about the civil servants, and his partiality was not too strong. Zhai Le was different, he squeezed military power to the death.
The military generals in the DPRK followed him with obedience.
If it weren't for Yu Hai's support on the civil servants' side, life would be very difficult.
Zhai Le said: [Ignore it.]
This matter cannot be explained clearly.
He folded the memorials and stacked them together. After thinking for a while, he added: [When the situation in the northwest becomes clear, I will explain it to my ministers and then come up with the reason for "Qukang Alliance to share the world"... I also stand.
You can stand it. If Kang Guo loses...]
Zhai Le looked at the ray of skylight outside the window.
[If we lose, the hope of the world rests on your shoulders!]
Yu Hai:【……】
The young scribe has been assisting Zhai Le for these years, and his face can be seen to the naked eye to be more like a working class animal, and his eyes are not as lively as before. At first glance, he has a sense of decadence, as if he has been sucked dry by male monsters/female monsters in turn, and his whole body radiates
"It's good to live, but it's okay to die". He himself expressed dissatisfaction with the current workload, and heard Zhai Le daydreaming about dominating the world...
He might as well look for a place with better feng shui first.
Even if you die, you must die elegantly and decently.
[Gui Long, you are a bit young and energetic!] Zhai Le patted his friend on the shoulder, trying to inspire his enthusiasm!
Yu Haisheng said helplessly: [No!]
It's so difficult to live, it's better to hang yourself with three feet of white silk!
Zhai Le:【……】
Yu Hai had a headache and said: [Since early death and late death are all the same, if I had known this, I should not have been saved by the First Lord back then!]
The good times only last a few years, but the hardships are endless.
In order to repay his kindness, he first worked for the half-dead Zhai Huan, and then was passed to Zhai Le by Zhai Huan and continued to work for Zhai Le.
Is your destiny to be a cow or a horse in your life?
Zhai Le was amused by his self-defeating speech, and his face showed a relaxed smile that was rare these days: [I know Gui Long has worked hard, and I have given you leave for the past two days. Go back and have a good rest.]
Yu Hai stayed at home and thanked guests behind closed doors. He happened to deal with some people so that they would not embarrass him by asking them to come to Yu Hai.
The monarch and his ministers reached a tacit understanding with just one look.
In order to show his determination to go to war, Zhai Le killed the envoy and his party!
The court officials were furious and tried to dissuade him one after another.
Zhai Le said: [What is there to advise? The queen cried to Gu, saying that the little girl in the clan was harmed by a bad person. If such a shame and humiliation are not severely punished, what do you think of the female relatives of the Qu Kingdom? If you are afraid of the men of the Qu Kingdom, you will humiliate the women.
Recover face?】
The courtiers looked at each other, speechless.
No, that's not the news they got.
Not to mention that the Xunnan Zhao family girl was just a daughter of the queen's side clan. When the queen came out of the cabinet, she was only a seven or eight-year-old girl. It was impossible for her to have any feelings for the queen, and the queen would most likely not cry for her to the king.
.Even if these two sisters of the same race have feelings for each other, this girl was given to the envoy by Zhao to win over their feelings. How can it be considered an infringement if you are willing to do so and I am willing to do so?
It was even more impossible for the queen to cry.
The messenger was caught in the main hall and was dumbfounded when he heard this.
He subconsciously looked at the Zhao officials among the courtiers.
The latter's expression was also very exciting, bewildered, surprised, impatient, suddenly enlightened and flinched. Seeing this, what else did the messenger not understand? No matter whether it was Zhao and Zhai Le who colluded to create a trap for themselves, or whether Zhao and themselves
They were all tricked by Zhai Le, and he was about to die! He immediately broke free from the restraints and started yelling.
Zhai Xiaofang, who suffered a thousand cuts, is here waiting for me?
The result is no surprise——
A sharp "escort" sounded outside the palace, and the envoy died with eyes closed. All this happened so fast that the courtiers had no time to stop it. Zhai Le killed someone and announced the dismissal of the court in a happy mood. What is the rule of "the two armies are fighting without killing the envoy"?
is dead.
Throughout hundreds of thousands of years of history, envoys have been a high-risk profession, especially when traveling to an opponent who is about to go to war.
Come and kill each one. Failure to kill is not enough to boost the morale of the army!
As soon as the court came down, many officials went straight to Yu Hai's residence crying.
When Yu Xiang was absent for a day, the king went crazy.
Yu Hai was so noisy that his brain ached, but he still had a gentle smile on his face: [The man has been chopped into a puddle of flesh, and we can't stick him back together. Now that the matter has come to this, there is only one way out. ]
This battle can only be fought.
Without fighting, neither country will be able to climb down the stairs.
Qu Guo mobilized troops very quickly.
The resistance encountered was also much weaker than expected.
It's not that the opponent's strength suddenly dropped sharply, but that the opponent was not fully prepared from the beginning. At the same time, there were disharmonious voices within the army, and several warlord forces emerged among the people. Among them, the warlord forces along the route were the strongest, and they were everywhere.
It can be said that he "raised his arms and called, and responded to a hundred responses". He quickly accumulated 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses, and even cooperated with Qu State several times to respond internally and externally.
This warlord raised a flag without words.
As the name suggests, the flag does not have any words on it.
It is said that it is because the leader has no name or surname?
Some insiders also discovered that most of the senior leaders of the warlords were former friends of Quqing Academy. However, their leader was a woman who did not have a very outstanding appearance. Looking through the remaining information of Quqing Academy, no details about this woman could be found. The outside world was also curious.
Who is this woman, and why can she gather so many students from Quqing Academy? And why can she recruit 20,000 to 30,000 troops as soon as she leaves the mountain?
You must know that these soldiers and horses are not just crooked melons and cracked jujubes.
A considerable number of them are brave warriors, and there are even some well-known military generals who came directly to defect with their own private tribes. Wen Youquqing Academy, Wu You, this group of military generals and rangers, this unknown force is developing rapidly
It’s shocking!
Zhai Le was also speechless.
As far as he knew, her friend had been active in the northwest, and the incarnation in the central and southeast had only appeared in the past two years. In such a short period of time, it was impossible for her to accumulate much profound knowledge. Or, Xia Houyu and Gu De
Are connections so powerful?
Zhai Le somewhat regretted it.
If I had known this, I wouldn't be able to keep these two even if they couldn't work for me. Now it's fine, they are all at their advantage.
Little did they know, Xia Houyu and Gu De were even more stunned.
The purpose of Quqing Academy is to teach without distinction. As long as there is a desire to learn, you will have the opportunity to enter the academy. It does not restrict whether the students are literary scholars or brave warriors, nor does it restrict ordinary people. Even so, 90% of the academy is literary.
, the rest is to practice martial arts.
This also caused Xia Houyu's personal network to be seriously biased.
Recruiting scribes?
Don’t worry about not having a goal at all.
Recruiting generals?
Ah, this is a bit embarrassing.
Xia Houyu and Gu De searched through their personal networks but could only find three or two kittens. When they came to visit them, they either declined politely or turned a deaf ear to them, maintaining basic decency.
It's not that they don't give Xiahou Yu a face, but that they are different from the scribes. The scribes defected to Xiahou Yu's lord and brought along a few eloquent people in his family. The brave warriors are different.
In addition to their own families, they also have private tribes with dozens to hundreds of people, and these private tribes also have families.
Defection is not just a matter of one household!
To put it bluntly, even if everyone agrees to defect, Xiahou Yu's lord must provide for their food rations! If one day they run out of food, how will they explain to their brothers who have been through life and death?
Considering all things considered, many people choose to wait and see.
So--
How did Shen Zixu Tang pull up this team?
The secret is quite simple.
[Of course it’s not to attract foreign aid. The troops in Kang State are very tight and they can’t mobilize rich manpower.] Shen Zixu Tang pinched his chin and smiled mysteriously, [When our people arrive, you will know what’s going on. This
It’s absolutely reliable!]
Xia Houyu and others suppressed their anxiety and waited for a strange young man to come. The young man cupped his hands and said: "I will congratulate you without writing any words."
【Xia Houyu, courtesy name Zikuan.】
【Gu De, courtesy name Yourong.】
[Before I mentioned this, I heard the Lord mention two of my colleagues. When I saw them today, I realized that the descriptions did not match my demeanor.]
Although it was just ordinary greetings, it relaxed the atmosphere a lot.
Xia Houyu led He Shu to see his lord.
[Bu Zuo arrived quickly. Did you bring the things? 】
Shen Zixu Tang took three steps at a time and took two steps at a time, avoiding useless greetings. His eagerness made He Shu even wonder what was contained in the two large boxes that the Lord asked him to carry.
【All have been brought.】
He Shu brought two big boxes with him when he came.
These two large boxes were brought from the homes of Gong Xiqiu and Shaochong. They were sealed, packed and sent to He Shu.
Zixu was pressing hard, so He Shu could only hurry up and break away from the southbound team to rush over first, for fear of delaying the important event.
【Lord, what is contained here?】
The two boxes are not very heavy either.
Shen Zixu Tang snapped the copper lock on the wooden box with his fingers.
Before opening the box, countless speculations came to the minds of the three of them.
I have thought about everything, except that the box contains...well, it is filled with dozens of men's underwear?
After recognizing what it was, He Shu retreated with a strange expression.
Looking out of the corner of his eye, Xia Houyu and Gu De also had the same reaction.
Fortunately, there wasn't any weird smell in the air.
He Shu was almost speechless: [My lord, you—you—]
He urged me three times and four times just for this one box, ah no, two boxes of men's crotches? Don't ask why it was two boxes, because his master conveniently broke the copper lock of the other box!
When he thought that the secrets he had brought all the way from the northwest were actually two boxes filled with calfs made of various materials, He Shu felt his soul was shaking and kicked out the congratulatory letter.
Congratulatory letter: [……]
He doesn’t want to face this scene either!
Shen Zixu Tang kept her head down, and naturally did not see the complicated and weird expressions of the three courtiers. She said happily: "With these handles, our future affairs will be easier to handle."
【Handle, handle?】
[These calf-nosed robes all belong to their owners.] Gong Xiqiu said that these calf-nosed robes were made of brand new materials, so she picked one up without any mental burden. There was a person's name on the strip of cloth, and there was a seal next to the name. This is no ordinary seal! There is a faint martial spirit flowing between the textures, and it was clearly printed with the Wu Danhu Talisman!
