Chapter 94 The army enters the city
This war between the Three Jin Dynasties and Ji Chao, the eldest son of the Duke of Western Zhou Dynasty, was not a fair war in the first place.
Just as the young master Ji Chaoxian said to his teacher Zheng Sheng, if he were to face his younger brother Ji Gen alone, he would still have some confidence in winning.
But let him have a head-on confrontation with the three countries of Wei, Zhao, and South Korea. Even if he has great talents and all kinds of resourcefulness, it will be in vain in the face of absolute strength.
Originally, if the Qin army had not come to help, perhaps Ji Chao would have chosen to open the gate of the royal city and surrender when the armies of the Three Jin Dynasties approached the city.
The reinforcements from Qin indeed gave Ji Chao the courage and hope to continue fighting, but they also plunged him into complete despair.
When the news of the withdrawal of the Qin army came back, Ji Chao no longer had the courage to continue resisting, so he just drank himself drunk in the hall every day.
Will be a soldier of courage.
Seeing that their own commanders had lost hope of victory, the morale of the Western Zhou army guarding the royal city naturally fell to the bottom quickly.
When the order from Wei Marquis Wei Feng came from Anyi, requiring Wei General Gongsun Cuo to lead an army to attack the royal city, a few days later, a harsh sound of wood squeezing appeared between heaven and earth.
Without any effort, Gongsun Cuo and the three Jin coalition forces under his command entered the royal city of the Western Zhou Kingdom.
When the sound of neat footsteps sounded in his ears, and when the crisp sound of clashing weapons passed by him, a solemn look suddenly flashed in the eyes of Gongsun Cuo, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.
Gongsun Cuo's left hand firmly pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and in a deep voice he repeated the orders he had given before entering the city to the soldiers passing by.
"After the coalition soldiers invade the royal city, they are not allowed to cause any nuisance. Violators will be severely punished."
"I will obey the general's military orders."
When Gongsun Cuo's majestic voice sounded in his ears, the heart of a famous soldier in the queue immediately tightened.
His sharp gaze swept over a famous coalition soldier passing by him, and looking at the solemn faces, a hint of satisfaction quietly appeared in Gongsun Zuo's eyes.
After watching like this for a long time, Gongsun Cuo led a group of Wei army elites and walked forward. The goal of his trip was nowhere else but the palace of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
…
"Surround this palace for me."
"Here."
In front of a large hall in the palace of the Western Zhou Dynasty, a group of uninvited guests suddenly arrived.
Following the order from Gongsun Cuo, the leader of the coalition forces, a group of Wei army elites wearing red armor immediately moved quickly, and in a short period of time, they surrounded all the exits of the hall in front of them.
Seeing that his soldiers had completely controlled the situation, Gongsun Cuo slowly led a young man dressed as a palace servant to the entrance of the main hall.
First, he looked at the palace in front of him with his eyes, and then slowly turned his eyes back to the palace servant, "Your young master is inside? If you dare to deceive me..."
Listening to Gongsun Cuo's murderous voice and looking at the cold eyes that were as sharp as a sharp sword, the palace man immediately showed a look of horror on his face.
As if he was afraid that Gongsun Cuo would take his life at the next moment, the palace man knelt down directly forward.
"General, spare your life, general, spare your life..."
"The villain would never dare to deceive the general. Ever since the Qin army withdrew, my young master has been depressed and indulged in fine wine."
Seeing the behavior of the palace man in front of him, Gongsun Cuo secretly felt helpless and at the same time believed in what he said more and more.
After asking several Wei soldiers to help the palace man up, Gongsun Cuo's eyes fell again on the closed hall in front of him.
"Open the palace door."
"Here."
After another harsh sound of wood squeezing, the palace door in front was slowly opened, and Gongsun Cuo led a group of his personal guards into the hall in front of him.
At first, Gongsun Cuo and his party didn't feel anything unusual, but as they slowly moved forward, a strong smell of alcohol hit their faces.
As heroic men in the army, Gongsun Cuo and his bodyguards were all good drinkers, but the strong smell that appeared on the tip of their noses at this moment made it impossible for them to feel any aroma of wine.
His brows frowned a little unconsciously, and he looked in the direction where the smell of alcohol came from. Everyone saw that the table in front of them was in a mess.
After taking a closer look, a face that looked like he had drank a lot of wine appeared in front of Gongsun Cuo and his bodyguards.
"Bring people in."
Gongsun Cuo's voice rang in the main hall, and the palace servant who had just been helped up by the Wei soldiers soon appeared in front of him.
Pointing to the figure in front of him who was lying drunk on several cases, Gongsun Cuo asked the palace servant in a deep voice: "Look, this is your young master?"
After listening to Gongsun Cuo's inquiry, the palace man immediately stepped forward and confirmed, "General, yes, this is my young master."
After getting the answer he needed, Gongsun Cuo nodded gently, and then set his eyes on Ji Chao in front of him again.
"Someone is coming..."
A moment later, Ji Chao, who was immersed in a beautiful dream, suddenly felt as if a heavy downpour was pouring on him. The discomfort coming from his body made him slowly open his eyes.
When Ji Chao's eyes gradually returned to clarity from confusion, the familiar scenes and unfamiliar people in front of him made him full of doubts.
Regardless of the fact that his clothes were already soaked by the water splashed by Wei's soldiers, and not realizing what a dangerous environment he was in at this moment, Ji Chao suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Looking at the questioning face in front of him, Gongsun Cuo, who was standing in front of Ji Chao, had no displeasure in his eyes.
He solemnly gave a Wei military salute to the front, and then heard Gongsun Cuo introduce himself: "Wei general Gongsun Cuo has met the young master."
"Gongsun Cuo? General of Wei?"
When Ji Chao heard Gongsun Cuo's identity, he didn't react yet, but when he realized the meaning of this sentence, he was immediately shocked.
"You are the commander-in-chief of the Three Jin Allied Forces. How did you..."
"Young Master, you want to ask how the general came in?" Before Ji Chao could finish his words, Gongsun Cuo said in a deep voice: "Young Master, you don't know yet. At this moment, this palace and the entire royal city are already under the control of our coalition forces.
bingo."
After telling Ji Chao this news that was like a bolt from the blue, he looked at the unbelievable look on his face and listened to Gongsun Cuo continue to talk.
"But please don't worry, young master. Our coalition officers will protect you well and won't let you get hurt in any way. It's just..."
At this point, Gongsun Cuo suddenly changed the subject, and his words secretly took on a somewhat unquestionable tone.
"I just ask you, Master, to stay in this hall and not move around to prevent any danger."
After Gongsun Cuo finished speaking, he stopped looking at Ji Chao and walked toward the outside of the hall.
"Someone is coming..."
"exist!"
