Chapter 267: Father and Son Captured(1/2)
Outside Wushi City, the Wei army camp was located.
Wei Xian strode into the Chinese army's tent and said to the general Sun Boling in front of him: "General, the envoy from the Wushi Kingdom wants to see you."
Sitting in the position of the general, Sun Boling put down a bamboo slip in his hand, slowly raised his head and looked at Zhai Liang beside him.
"The envoy from the Wushi Kingdom asked to see him. Does General Zhai Liang think he will see him or not?"
"Commander, this Wushi country has offended the majesty of our Wei State, which is extremely hateful."
After saying this, Zhai Liang suddenly changed the topic and said softly: "It's just that our country, Wei, is a big country in the world after all, so we should be able to accommodate others. Naturally, the envoys from the Wushi Kingdom will ask for an audience."
"good."
He yelled "ok" and straightened his waist. Sun Boling said seriously: "Since General Zhai Liang said so, then Wei Han..."
"The end will be here."
The voice paused again, and his eyes looked at Zhai Liang again. A smile appeared in the depths of their eyes as they looked at each other.
"Bring this envoy from the Wushi Kingdom here."
"Follow orders."
After bowing to the two men, Wei Xuan turned around and strode away from the Chinese army's tent.
This conversation between a few people was so short, but the envoy from the Wuzhi Kingdom outside the tent was living like a year.
Since entering the Wei army's camp, everything about the Wei army has made him lose hope for victory in the war.
In the view of the Wushi Kingdom envoy, the armor worn by the Wei army was so strong that it far exceeded the animal skins worn by our own soldiers.
The blade of a sharp halberd reflected faint light under the sunlight, which made the envoy of the Wushi Kingdom feel terrified in his heart.
Fear occupied his heart more and more as time went by, and he had made up his mind to avoid the outbreak of war between the two sides during this trip.
They are already at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, and their armor is far inferior. It may be difficult for the Wuzhi Kingdom to win this battle.
"Messenger, my master will invite you."
Wei Xun's voice awakened the envoy from his inner thoughts. When he reacted, he followed him into the big tent with a smile on his face.
When he stepped into the tent and looked at Sun Boling and Zhai Liang sitting on both sides, the envoy quickly bowed and said, "Envoy from the Wushi Kingdom, pay homage to the two generals."
"Messengers don't need to be polite."
Sun Boling's young voice sounded in the tent, and he looked faintly at the man who appeared in front of him.
"I wonder how your country's leader has considered the conditions proposed by our army?"
"this……"
Hearing Sun Boling mention the conditions put forward by the Wei army, which were the contents recorded on the silk book that Sun Boling ordered Wei Xing to shoot into the city, the envoy suddenly showed some hesitation on his face.
The reason why the envoy was like this was not because of anything else, but because the conditions proposed by Sun Boling were too harsh.
Sun Boling directly said there that he asked the Wushi Kingdom to open the city gates and surrender unconditionally. Otherwise, the day the Wushi Kingdom was destroyed, the leader of the Wushi Kingdom would lose his life.
What does this make the leader of Wuzhi think about? Is there any second option under such conditions?
Seeing the hesitation on the Wushi envoy's face, Sun Boling's originally calm face suddenly turned cold.
"Come here, send the envoy away, and at the same time order the army to prepare for war."
"Absolutely not, absolutely not!"
Seeing that he was about to be blasted away before he could say a word, and then hearing Sun Boling's order to prepare for war, the Wuzhi envoy suddenly became panicked.
Nowadays, people are fighting for their lives, and I am fighting for their lives. The weak Wushi State really doesn’t have much confidence in facing the powerful Wei State.
"If the general has something to say, we, the Wuzhi Kingdom, will do our best to satisfy it. It's just..."
"Just, just what?"
Sun Boling raised his head and looked at the messenger in front of him, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
"The leader of the Wushi Kingdom took in King Yiqu's troops, which means that he will become an enemy of the Wei Kingdom."
"When my army arrived outside Wushi City, they were still trying to shirk responsibility in every possible way. They clearly didn't take Wei State seriously."
With a loud "bang" sound, Sun Boling looked at the envoy in front of him and said coldly: "Does the Wu family think that our country, Wei, is weak and can be bullied?"
"Absolutely not!"
With a look of fear in his eyes, the envoy looked at Sun Boling cautiously, "Wei is a big country in the world, and it cannot be compared to a small and weak country like me, Wushi."
"My country's leader also understands that he has made a big mistake. I hope that Wei State can be tolerant and spare my country's life."
"Humph, I'm sorry you don't dare to bully my country, Wei."
As if persuaded by the weak words of the Wushi Kingdom envoy, the rage in Sun Boling's eyes was mostly reduced.
After a few breaths, Sun Boling looked at the envoy in front of him coldly, "The king of your country has taken in King Yiqu, which is an unforgivable crime. How to deal with it still needs to be decided by the king."
"It's just that if the leader of your family wants to stop my army with the help of the small Wushi City, then he is really not far from death."
"Yes, yes, the general's sincere message, I will definitely go back and tell the king of the country. But..."
Sun Boling's heart moved when he heard the hope in the messenger's words, but he remained so calm on the surface.
"Just what?"
The envoy had the courage to lower his voice and said to Sun Boling: "But if my king can open the city gate and help the general capture Prince Yiqu and his son, will the general be able to replace my king in front of the Marquis of Wei..."
When he said this, Sun Boling looked aside calmly, and the smile became brighter in the depths of his and Zhai Liang's eyes.
The top priority is to attack the heart, and the bottom step is to attack the city. This strategy of attacking the heart is already complete.
…
"The Lord of the Country, the Lord of the Country, the Lord of the Country..."
In Wushi City, Wuya, the leader of Wuzhi Kingdom, was pacing in the tent, anxiously waiting for the news to arrive.
Suddenly, the sudden sound made Wu Ya, who was anxious, overjoyed.
When the envoy stepped into the tent, Wuya immediately rushed forward impatiently.
"How is it going?"
"Wei Jun agreed."
In the next period of time, the envoy told Wuya the details of his mission to the Wei army camp.
After telling everything, the envoy finally said: "Master, as long as you can open the city gate tonight and assist the Wei army to capture King Yiqu and his son, not only will our Wushi City be safe and sound, but the general of the Wei army will also camp in Weihou
I will save your life in front of you."
"Okay, great." After listening to the messenger's report, Wu Ya's face immediately showed a bit of excitement.
Originally, Wu Ya seemed to have seen the tragic situation after the destruction of Wushi City, but he did not expect that things would turn around now.
As for his own life, he believed that for the sake of the stability of the Wushi State and for his achievements, the Wei State would most likely be open to him, Wu Ya.
However, this good mood did not last long in my heart. After thinking about it, a look of hesitation appeared on Wuya's face.
"Master, this is the only chance for our Wuzhi Kingdom."
Seeing that his king was in high spirits just now, but now he was full of hesitation, the envoy standing aside immediately became anxious.
Others didn't know how terrifying the Wei army was, but he had seen it with his own eyes in the Wei army's camp. That was something that Wushi could not resist at this moment.
"Master, you must not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity because of your temporary scruples."
"There is an army of 100,000 from Wei State outside the city, and all of those soldiers are wearing armor on their shoulders and holding sharp swords in their hands. Our Wushi soldiers are no match for them."
The messenger's sincere call brought Wuya back from his thoughts, and he looked up helplessly.
"I know, I know everything. I know how powerful the Wei army is, and I also know that this is my only chance for the Wushi."
"only……"
With his hands tightly clenched into fists and eyes full of worry, Wuya said to the messenger and himself: "I'm just afraid that if King Yiqu notices our intentions, all our efforts will fail. I, Wushi, am not from Yiqu."
Opponent."
"Yiqu is indeed powerful, but Wei's national power is much greater. If not, how could King Yiqu be in such a mess?"
The envoy understood Wu Ya's worries and hurriedly stepped forward to offer advice: "As long as we open the city gate tonight and a hundred thousand Wei troops enter the city, how can King Yiqu be our opponent with the combined strength of our two sides?"
The messenger's words seemed to make Wu Ya make up his final determination. When he released his fists, a firm word rang out.
"That's it."
…
The footsteps of the day pass by in a hurry, and the dark night falls on the world.
When black completely enveloped the earth and Wushi City became quiet, the city gate on the city wall was slowly opened.
Outside Wushi City, there was a squeezing sound of wood opening the door. Zhai Liang said with some vigilance: "General, you and your army are waiting here. The general will lead an army of 10,000 to test first to prevent any unexpected events.
"
"Okay, General Zhai Liang, be more careful." Sun Boling reminded him with concern as he looked at Wushi City ahead.
