Chapter 13: Dragons Fight Chapter 10: Resolve the Danger
Some people in Zheng State's civil and military affairs couldn't help but say, "Ping Wang calms his anger, the emperor can be safe this time, all depends on General Han Feng and others to protect him."
King Ping had nothing to say for a moment. Just as he was about to see how King Zheng expressed his opinion, he heard King Zheng say, "This time he was attacked by the Northern King on the way, and the Zuo Shuchang Ling Zhao made great contributions. He ordered his beloved minister Ling Zhao to take over the letter of the general of the Southwest. Hou Lingluo and the master of the Shenzong were loyal to protect the emperor. They were rewarded with a thousand acres of fiefs. He ordered the immortal Xinhou to set off immediately to Picheng to take over the position of the General of the Western Expedition. Although Han Feng and the generals left their posts without permission, they were forced by the situation and were eager to save the emperor. They were not held accountable for the crimes. When resisting the Shenshun Army, all the soldiers fought bravely and made great contributions. They all promoted the level and ordered General Han Feng to be appointed as the deputy general of Zuo Shuchang and the deputy general. Zuo Shuchang and Xinhou could make their own decisions."
"Thank you Lord Long's kindness"
Zuo Shuchangwei, Ling Luo and others knelt down and thanked each other. Ling Luo did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately led four wise and brave generals and half of the masters of the Shenzong to head straight to Picheng.
Princess Tianlai was going to go with her, but was left behind by King Zheng.
"My sister Wang has been working hard for a long time, so don't run around. I may not have had a long talk with her. I need her now."
"yes"
After saying that, King Zheng asked someone to bring the King Zheng sword and hand it to Princess Tianlai himself.
"This sword was given to Wang Mei by the former king. At that time, I saw Wang Mei too hard, so I allowed Wang Mei to return it. Now the situation is in crisis. I hope Wang Mei will accept this sword and share the worries of the country and the people."
"yes"
Princess Tianlai held the sword in both hands, and took it with her heart
Seeing that King Ping looked unhappy, King Zheng said, "King Ping, has the banquet been prepared?"
"It's ready, please."
"I haven't seen each other for many days. Later, King Ping sat on the right side of my king to make it easier to speak."
The King Ping then showed joy and hurriedly said, "Thank you Lord, Long You"
During the banquet, King Zheng comforted King Ping and said that when he was employed, what was going on, King Ping's displeasure about being given military power was slightly dissipated.
After the banquet, King Zheng summoned Zuo Shuchang to the big tent
After Zuo Shu arrived, King Zheng asked him to sit down and drink with him. The latter hurriedly said that the etiquette was not consistent, and knelt on the ground to apologize and said that he did not dare to obey his orders.
"Zuo Shuchang, Zuo Shuchang, half of the country of Zheng was defeated by Zuo Shuchang. When the ancient kings were alive, they wanted to seal three thousand cities for Zuo Shuchang to commend Zuo Shuchang's achievements, but Zuo Shuchang never accepted them. How many times did the previous king say that Zuo Shuchang saw that the ancient king did not need to be worshipped, and Zuo Shuchang never dared to take the orders of the people in the world saying that Zuo Shuchang has the courage of the world's best enemy, and the loyalty of the king is the best in the world."
"The king is too proud." Zuo Shuchang didn't say much, guessing that King Zheng still had the following words
"However, I am young and knowledgeable, and my martial arts are not successful. My wisdom and strategy are limited. Compared with the previous king, I cannot say that I can't say that I will succeed at the beginning of the throne. I am afraid that the Zuo Shuchang cannot regard me as a wise king. I am afraid that the government and the country cannot regard me as a king, so I dare not not test the loyalty of Zuo Shuchang. I stripped Zuo Shuchang of military power and temptations. Now I know that Zuo Shuchang's loyalty to me is as loyal to me as a former king. Therefore, from today on, I will also treat Zuo Shuchang like a former king and hope that Zuo Shuchang can help me as a helper, turn the tide in danger, and assist government affairs in peacetime."
"The king should not belittle himself. If the king knows the importance of the king's power and the importance of the king's power, he will definitely become a wise king like the previous king, Ling Zhao, who is favored by the previous king, and never dares to forget to repay. Now that King Zheng can use Ling Zhao, I will definitely devote my efforts to death until I die."
"Good, Zuo Shuchang get up and speak quickly. From now on, Zuo Shuchang cannot kneel down to the king and said to me that half of the Zheng State's throne was the Zuo Shuchang, and the former king was the king, but because Zuo Shuchang was loyal and righteous, he was unwilling to receive the merits. Now I also want to say that half of the Zheng State's throne was the Zuo Shuchang, and the king was the king, but because Zuo Shuchang was loyal and righteous, he was unwilling to receive the merits."
"Secret - thank the emperor for his favor, but the minister cannot accept the difference between the king and the minister, and the minister cannot transcend usurp the emperor"
King Zheng had known that Zuo Shuchang would not really accept the order, so he did not get involved. He invited him to sit down and drink with him. After three glasses of wine, King Zheng asked him, "Zuo Shuchang thought that the current situation in Zheng State can be restored?"
"It depends on whether the emperor is determined to destroy Zhou State or recover lost territory."
"Oh? So what if you are determined to destroy Zhou State? So what if you recover the lost territory?" King Zheng listened with anticipation.
"If I have the heart to destroy Zhou State, I think it cannot be done."
“Why?”
"The people of the Shenhun Sect are not afraid of death. They are invincible under the leadership of the Northern King and are invincible. They are in full swing. If they attack blindly, they will unite in order to survive and become united. The State of Chu did not have any sincerity to form an alliance to defeat Zhou Zhicheng, so this battle would not be possible."
"The State of Chu is not sincere? How can Zuo Shuchang explain this? Now the State of Zhou is very powerful, and only Zheng and Chu can defeat the State of Zhou. As a result, Zhou is amazing, why is the State of Chu not sincere?"
King Zheng was puzzled by this, and he really wanted to hear what Zuo Shuchang said.
"The king is full of sincerity to the State of Chu, so he is not prepared for the expansion of the State of Chu when he attacked the State of Yan. These expanded troops are still hidden in the State of Yan for 400,000, and there are 200,000 cities stationed in the Beiguan City of Yan. Now the city has garrisoned a total of 500,000 troops. Only one-third of the weapons obtained by Chu from the State of Yan were invested in the battle against Chen, and one-third was in Yan, and one-third was in the city."
"City, Yan State garrisons on both sides? Chu and Zheng have formed an alliance. Why do these two places still need to station so many troops and weapons? Is it to be guarding against our army?"
"Your heart is kind and does not know the sinisterness of Prince Chu. The Chu State wants to wait for the opportunity to attack Zheng State--"
King Zheng was very shocked and could not understand why Chu had such bizarre and stupid thoughts, but he was not busy asking questions, and asked, "Zuo Shuchang thought it was impossible to destroy Zhou, so what if he recovered the lost territory?"
Zuo Shuchang said, "If it is to recover the lost land, it is very simple. Just send an eloquent person to bring a letter of ceasefire to see Princess Zhou worship the moon. The matter of ceasefire will not only be able to ceasefire, but the Zhou State will also be willing to return all the lands of Beiguan, Northeast China and Zhengdu."
King Zheng felt that Zuo Shuchang's idea was as impossible as a fantasy, but he also felt that Zuo Shuchang would not be a person who was not sure of making such a boast about it. However, he thought hard but could not understand how this matter could be successful, so he couldn't help but say, "I really don't understand Zuo Shuchang's considerations."
"Your Majesty does not know the people of the Divine Soul Sect, so you cannot understand that the people of the Divine Soul Sect do not want to fight in their hearts. If you don't offend me, I won't offend others. This is rooted in their hearts. It has influenced their understanding for many years. The reason why they can have today is entirely because of the immortal traces and the excitement of the Northern King. However, although the traditional understanding of the Divine Soul Sect for several years can be influenced by the Northern King for a while, it cannot be changed so quickly. This time, the two countries sent troops. Although they have not captured a city and half of the pass of Zhou Kingdom, it is not because the coalition forces are defeated, but because everyone in the Divine Soul Sect has soldiers. Therefore, when they are defeated, they will inevitably fall like a mountain, and there is no room for turning defeat into victory and turning the world."
King Zheng was also very comfortable when he heard this view. The coalition forces have not achieved any results in the attack, which has always made him very unhappy, making people wonder whether his decision, as the king, was correct.
"Since that's the case, why did Zuo Shuchang feel that he could not destroy Zhou?"
Zuo Shuchang replied seriously, "Your Majesty clearly understands that even if Zheng and Chu coalition forces are destroyed, they will have to pay an extremely heavy price to defeat them; secondly, because of this, the Chu State will not pay such a heavy price to destroy Zhou, so the Chu army actually has no real intention at all. The so-called casualties are all false reports. The only thing that really is fighting with Zhou State is our army. Because the prince of Chu must also believe that the Divine Soul Sect does not need to attack at all. As long as the battle is in a ceasefire, it will inevitably change internally. At that time, the Zhou State will split into several forces, and watch its demise without any effort."
King Zheng suddenly realized and asked, "Why did Zuo Shuchang say that Zhou State must be willing to return the lost land?"
"Your Majesty clearly understands that Zhou State seemed to defend the coalition forces, but in fact, the Chu State pretended to attack the city, but was actually waiting for the opportunity to negotiate with Beijun about the sharing of Zheng's land."
"Splitting Zheng State" Wang Zheng was furious when he heard this
"The king calmed down. The prince of Chu pretended to form an alliance. In fact, it was to test the Zhou Dynasty's intention to fight, and to create the opportunity to destroy Zheng. In the view of the Prince of Chu, Zhou was not scary, because Zhou would inevitably destroy itself. The terrible thing was Zheng. Chu did not seize the victory over Zheng, so he had to use the attack on Zhou, so that our country could consume a large amount of troops, and then the prince of Chu waited for an opportunity to declare that the attack on Zhou failed, or gave up the attack on Zhou according to the emperor's will. The alliance was naturally lifted, and then immediately joined forces with Zhou and took advantage of the opportunity to enter. From the city and Yan State, we were fighting fiercely in front of Zheng, and the rear was invaded by the Chu army and could not resist. After the troops in Chu State City broke through the Nanguan, they could attack the west of our country with the Soul Army. The army of the two southwest routes, Princess Baiyue went out to the Chengu Road of Zheng, and in three sides of the siege."
King Zheng was sweating coldly when he heard this, and he felt that if the situation really developed, he would definitely become the king of the destruction of the country at that time, and he would not have the chance to defeat the attack between the Divine Soul Army and the Chu army. Yan and the original Wei territory would immediately return to all the Chu states. If the troops and horses of Zhou State in the North Pass of Zhou State go south again, they would inevitably be surrounded by all sides. Zheng's army could not win at all, and there was only one way to perish.
I can't help but feel that Chu and Zhou were extremely insidious, and he almost misled the country and the people and the people.
"Zuo Shuchang quickly talk. Since that's the case, what should I do?"
