Chapter 931 Don't make trouble, I will take it seriously
With these things, landmines can be completely created. At the same time, the trebuchet no longer only needs to throw stones and grease fireballs, but can be replaced with gunpowder packets containing sulfur and saltpeter. The power can definitely be increased dozens of times.
Emperor Chu came here today to discuss this matter with Wen Boya, hoping that he could try to make the gunpowder bag in the next time.
Three hours passed in a row, and the envoys from the Jiangdu Empire who were waiting in the side hall were restless like ants on a hot pot. The war in Jiangdu was imminent, but nearly ten days had passed since they came to Chu State. The two of them couldn't help but feel worried. The empire
Can the army hold out until the Chu reinforcements arrive?
"Can you two stop hanging around in front of me all the time? It's helpful to pace back and forth like this. It makes me dizzy!"
"Sir Shangguan, Emperor Chu has not come to see you for a long time. My subordinates are worried that the empire will not be able to withstand the attack of the enemy troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty."
"What's the rush? Once it comes, take care of it and just wait with peace of mind!"
The cold scolding sounded, and the two men turned around and sat on the wooden chairs nearby, looking out of the hall from time to time.
A few moments.
Emperor Chu entered the hall accompanied by Zhang Liang, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu, "Haha, I was delayed by some official duties and kept the three distinguished guests from afar waiting."
A loud voice sounded, and Emperor Chu's eyes flashed across the three people. When the three people saw Emperor Chu's arrival, they suddenly jumped up and bowed to salute Emperor Chu.
"Sit down, no need to be polite!"
Emperor Chu withdrew his surprised gaze from the three of them, raised his hand to signal the three of them to sit down, then stood up and stepped forward to sit at the top of the table.
"Shangguan Wan'er (Long Jin, Hou Cheng) pays homage to Emperor Chu!"
"Why do you three come to Chu?"
Emperor Chu raised his hand to signal the three of them to sit down and asked. Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flickered and she stared at Emperor Chu who was sitting on the high platform.
"The Emperor of Chu knows why we are here, why do we need to ask questions knowingly and deliberately create difficulties?"
It is said that people have to lower their heads when they are under the eaves, but Shangguan Wan'er spoke sharply, looking directly at Emperor Chu and said.
"Miss Shangguan, you dare to enter Wuchu to bring reinforcements with two attendants. I must be confident that I will lend you troops."
As soon as Emperor Chu entered the hall system, the information about Shangguan Wan'er was passed into his mind. Shangguan Wan'er was a female official, poet, and imperial concubine in the Tang Dynasty. When she was fourteen years old, she was placed in a high position by Wu Zetian because of her intelligence and good writing. She was in charge of the imperial edicts in the palace for many years.
The name of "Women Prime Minister".
During the reign of Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, she was granted the title of Zhaorong and became more powerful. She had a prominent position in the political and literary circles. From then on, she was in charge of the government decrees of the inner court and the outer court as the imperial concubine. She once suggested expanding the library and adding bachelors. During this period, she presided over Fengya and represented the emperor.
The imperial court commented on poetry and prose from all over the world, and at that time many Ci officials gathered in his sect.
There have been mixed reviews of her in history. Some people say that her talent in poetry is not that of men. However, her character merits and demerits are quite controversial. She flattered the powerful, brought trouble to the palace, manipulated politics, and controlled the court.
Emperor Chu did not expect that she would appear in the Jiangdu Empire on the War Continent, and she was also the most trusted person of the emperor. Such a woman always made people wary.
"The vast Chu Kingdom is under the control of Emperor Chu. Now that the Northern Wei Dynasty has powerful troops, Cao Cao has the idea of unifying the fifth-level empire. If the other countries fall into Cao Cao's hands, he will direct his troops towards the Chu Kingdom. When the time comes, Chu
The emperor will definitely have a duel with him."
"And as far as I know, on New Year's Eve, the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, led by Tu Feijiu, attacked Beihai Island. Cao Cao took away the thousand-year-old tomb treasures, and at the same time took away the lives of one hundred thousand Chu soldiers. Could the Emperor of Chu not want to
To avenge the Chu soldiers?"
Shangguan Wan'er's every word was like a pearl, and the sonorous sound echoed in every corner of the hall. Emperor Chu looked at him angrily. Long Jin and Hou Cheng felt the fierce pressure, their bodies trembled slightly, and they glanced at Emperor Chu in a panic.
Both of them somewhat blamed Shangguan Wan'er for being unscrupulous and speaking freely. They were worried about offending the Emperor of Chu. In the end, they failed to borrow the reinforcements and died on the Unnamed Island.
"Miss Shangguan is well-informed and knows everything about what happened in Wuchu, but so what, I am just watching you both suffer losses when Cao Cao attacks the Jiangdu Empire. Wouldn't it be better to reap the benefits then?"
"Emperor Jiangdu, if you asked the three of you to come here to borrow troops, why don't you just want the girl to persuade me with your eloquent words?"
"Emperor Chu, what you said is wrong. The three of us are here with sincerity, and so is our emperor. As long as Emperor Chu can help our emperor resolve this crisis, all the fifty cities in Jiangdu and Yinghua County will be returned to Chu.
country."
"And my emperor has prepared millions of gold and thousands of beauties. As long as the enemy soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty are defeated, I will give them all with both hands."
Long Jin and Hou Cheng came out one after another, and hurried voices rang out. They knew in their hearts that as long as the Emperor of Chu asked about the reward, there would be a chance for the borrowing of troops.
"Fifty cities!"
"Your Jiangdu Empire has always been the weakest entity in the East China Sea, with less than a hundred cities in total. Now you are willing to give up fifty cities to me. Then after the Northern Wei Empire retreats, your Jiangdu Empire will be in name only. There is no
The meaning of existence, are you two lying to me?"
"Absolutely true!"
"How dare we lie and deceive Emperor Chu!"
Long Jin and Hou Cheng were trembling with fear, raising their fists to salute, their voices unwavering, their eyes looking at Shangguan Wan'er from time to time, hoping that she would assure the Emperor of Chu that after all, Shangguan Wan'er was the representative sent by the Jiangdu Empire this time.
.
"Don't make trouble, I will take it seriously!"
"If I send my army to help you defeat the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the promise cannot be fulfilled, it will not be a matter of fifty cities. I will let your Jiangdu Empire completely get the news from the East China Sea!"
There was a smile on Emperor Chu's face, but Long Jin and Hou Cheng seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, their whole bodies cold and stiff.
"Emperor Chu, don't worry. After defeating the Northern Wei army, my emperor will fulfill everything he promised. Not only that, my emperor will also declare that the world surrenders to Emperor Chu. In the future, there will be no more Jiangdu Empire in the mainland. However, Emperor Chu must promise not to harm us."
The emperor’s life.”
Shangguan Wan'er's sudden change of attitude surprised Emperor Chu, but it was obvious that the goal had been achieved. Emperor Jiangdu was willing to surrender the entire empire, so he had to confront the enemy soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty, not only to fight them, but also to completely defeat them.
"Don't worry, Miss Shangguan. Emperor Jiangdu understands the overall situation and knows how to take advantage of the situation. Not only will I not kill him, I will also reward him well."
Shangguan Wan'er's pretty face was full of melancholy. Jiangdu's national power was weak and she had been struggling to survive among other countries for so many years. Emperor Chu's words were like thunder. It made her understand that luring the evil wolf to drive away the tiger would eventually lead the wolf into the house. The heroes of the war continent were competing for the deer, and the war was devastated.
, the Jiangdu Empire is destined not to survive, and surrendering to the Chu State can at least save its life.
"Zifang, send an order to Kong Ming to send generals Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Ran Min to lead an army of 200,000 to the Jiangdu Empire."
"This battle must be won. Cao Cao must know that the Fifth Rank Empire is not his alone."
"In addition, send someone to bring the rewards I have prepared for the generals to reward the three armies before the battle, so that they can reach the frontline battlefield without any worries."
Emperor Chu's majestic voice sounded, and Zhang Liang took the order to leave. His eyes stayed on Shangguan Wan'er and the three of them, and said: "Zilong, send someone to escort the three envoys to Nagawa City, and let them go to Jiangdu with the army.
"
Long Jin and Hou Cheng bowed and saluted. Now Wumingdao and his party were walking on thin ice. They felt relieved to leave at this time and quickly retreated out of the hall.
Shangguan Wan'er, on the other hand, glanced at Emperor Chu before leaving, and said in a calm voice: "Emperor Chu, we will meet again soon!" (To be continued)
