Chapter 99 Tacit understanding
The banquet dispersed before dark. Before that, the shopkeepers told the Qiang people in detail the grudges between the Chu people and the Qin people. Hearing that King Huai of Chu was deceived and imprisoned in Xianyang by the Qin people, he was unwilling to cede the land and finally Yu died, some chiefs couldn't help but beat their chests and shout. The Xia people had no faith, and the Qiang people had known it, but the Xia people were so shameless, especially the Xia people were so shameless to the Xia people, and they were really angry after hearing this. Seeing the Qiang people shouting angrily for the ancestor King Huai, the Chu army knights also developed a lot of favor towards them.
When the banquet was over, most of the food and fodder brought by the Qiang people when they came, and twenty-seven dragon horses and the remaining soldiers returned. The unmanned village occupied by the knights could be used as a habitat, and of course, wooden houses were not enough. The Qiang people agreed to send some pippens in the next few days. But pippens was only transitional, and the weather would get colder and colder. The Qiang people could sleep with pippens and even pippens. The Chu and Zhao knights could not bear this pain and had to log wood to build a house. This was the matter of the engineers.
"The king really wants to teach the Qiang people the sword and shield formation?" Xiong Jing couldn't help but feel happy when he saw his mount eating the barley sent by the Qiang people. He was happy that the soldiers finally had a place to shelter from the winter. Li Bo, who had been dressed and clean on his body, came to see him early in the morning.
"Why not teach?" Xiong Jing asked back. The Roman sword and shield tactics were just to fight against the unpinned cavalry, which was a kind of elimination formation tactic.
"The Qiang people are Rong people..." Li Bo said, he had been worried about this.
"We may have been a Rong person thousands of years ago." Xiong Jing smiled. "Isn't it true that the State of Jin?"
"This?" Zhao State was divided into Jin State, and there were many people from Rong people in Jin State.
"The formation taught by the king is really sharp. Even if it is used in the mountains, it is not comparable to the Zhao army." Li Qi also said: "However, the Qiang people are the deadly enemies of the Qin people, and the Qiang people are invincible to me."
"That's because the Zhao people's spear formation method is not well learned." Xiong Jing looked at Li Qi and shook his head. Yue people could learn the tactics of the spear formation column, but Zhao people, Wei people, Qi people could not learn it no matter how hard it was. This naturally reminded him of a strange theory: any country with good football is either a remnant of a feudal country or a remnant of a colonized (or tribe) by a feudal country. The game is similar to a formation battle, and the players are actually knights.
The feudal or tribal attributes of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Qi were too few, and they could not learn the column tactics that had high requirements for organizational (cohesion), coordination and honor. In the end, the spear formation was trained into a horizontal lineup like the Macedonians, and the Chu army officer who went to teach the spear formation scratched his head and had no choice but to do anything.
Xiong Jing's accusation made Li Qi feel a little ashamed. He said with a stern finger: "The king's will, is the spear formation more powerful than swords and shields?"
"What do you think?" Xiong Jing asked again, "Formation, tactics and tactics are adapted to local conditions. How can a certain formation be stronger than a certain formation?" Xiong Jing didn't want to talk more again, and asked directly: "What is the current Zhao army?"
"I heard that I did not fight with the Qiang people, and I got the Qiang people to drink and eat, and the Zhao army was in Da'an." Li Bo said.
"Drinking alcohol and causing trouble, you must strictly abide by military discipline." Yesterday Xiong Jing told him to strictly observe military discipline, and now he has explained it again.
"The last general has repeatedly declared military discipline." Li Qi said: "However, the soldiers are full and have nothing to do every day, and Qin is three hundred miles away..."
"Then go to log and build a house. If not, go to build a boat." The Qiang people raise horses, and they can buy Qiang people's horses back to Zhao in the spring of next year. It is no longer necessary to build a boat, but in order to let the soldiers have something to do, they can build a boat.
"Report to the king, it's not our troubles, but..." Li Qi didn't understand his meaning, so Li Bo had to add an explanation. "We are the king's help, so we are willing to repay the king if we want to. The soldiers heard that Mrs. Mi was still in Qin and were willing to enter Qin again."
In the Battle of the Lishui River, there were only more than 100 people left in the Zhao army, most of which were lieutenants and officers. The Qin territory was three hundred miles east, and he entered Qin again to repay his kindness and revenge. Xiong Jing was stunned when he heard this and said, "Let's discuss this matter later."
How many queens are there? Hearing that the King of Qin was not dead, the Chu army knights were preparing to enter Qin again to steal people. The Chu army shouted that Zhao army followed. Xiong Jing detoured from the north of the Beidi County of Qin to the west of the Beidi County, and also planned to enter Qin again. However, the Qin people were alert that it was impossible to enter Qin again without precise information. And the number of people must be small, so small that they can sneak.
On the sunny noon, a pigeon flew out of the wooden house in Qiang land and flew to the distant southeast. When the pigeon arrived in Yingdu, it was already the twelfth lunar month. The king was not in Yingdu, so the La Festival was naturally presided over by the old clan members. This is not the first time. But what makes people worry about is the whereabouts of the king. If there is no carrier pigeon flying here, it means that the king is not yet stable.
When he saw the pigeon this day, the entire Yingdu breathed a sigh of relief. In Ruoying's palace, Zhao Fei, who had read the pigeon news, began to shed tears again. She complained: "The king still wants to enter Qin to welcome that woman."
"Don't worry, the Empress Dowager, the last time it was Zhao people who leaked the secrets, but now there is no Zhao people who leaked the secrets, so it will definitely be absolutely certain." Hou Ji's sacrifice is valuable, and at least he knows that the Secretary of the Communist Party of Zhao had found out that it was Jianxin Jun who lost the secrets.
"..." After hearing that Zhao people lost their secrets, Concubine Zhao couldn't believe it, but when she saw Zhu Ao's attitude at the scene, she had to believe it. "Can't you let the king return to the country quickly?" She asked weakly.
"The Empress Dowager is very cold outside the border. The king does not go north and goes south to enter Qiang land, but spends winter in Qiang land." Cheng Jie said. "And the things that carry pigeons can only fly from Qiang land to Yingdu, but not from Yingdu to Qiang land."
"The old woman doesn't care about the rest of the matter, and the old woman only needs the king to return to the country safely." Concubine Zhao was not only powerless, but also helpless.
"I will do my best to make the king return to the country safely." Seeing that Concubine Zhao was like this, Zhaoshu immediately winked at Zhu Ao, and everyone left.
"The king must have the son of Mi, what if he is?" As he was heading towards the west room, Zhu Ao Huan surrounded him and discussed.
"After the king is at peace, I am not worried." I am the happiest person to receive the pigeon news. Even if I have found out that the Zhao people were secretly secret, I still have been criticized by the court officials. "I think I should help the king enter Qin again."
"The king is in Qiang land, which is more than a thousand miles away from Xianyang. How can I enter Qin again?" Cheng Jie said. "According to the etiquette, the prince Mi is just a robe. The robe is mourned for only three months, and you can go to the robe after the burial. Next month, you will get married after the burial. So what if the king enters Qin? It would be better not to act as the king said, so the king will not enter Qin, and he will return to the country next spring."
"Ah?" Don't let me be stunned, "How can I violate what the king told me?"
"You are the minister of the Chu country, not the minister of the king." Cheng Jie said loudly. Lan She and Dongye Gu nodded at the same time when they heard this. The great elder Song and Luo Kai kept silent. Nao Kai and Zhaoshu were silent. "You should make plans for the country, not just for the king's plan. If you know that the king will help the king, the king will be in danger when he enters Qin; if the king does not help the king, the king will return to the country safely."
"But..." Don't let me tell you Cheng Jie. Naojiu and Zhao Shu didn't support him, and they were speechless for a while.
"In May next year, the king must enter the land of the old Ying to summon the old Chu people to attack Qin. If the king is wrong, what will happen to the old Ying?" Cheng Jie further asked, talking about the battle of the old Ying that was inevitable. "After the king returns to the country, I will apologize to the king and take on this matter with all my might."
"We also want to apologize to the king." Lan She and Higashino Gu said, they agreed with Sui Sui.
"Save brothers, you can do it; for women, you can't." The eldest elder Song had a clear attitude.
"The king shouldn't have done this." Luo Kaizhai said and looked at Nao, and saw that Zhao Shu had no way to object, and he also agreed.
"This is because the Zhao people have no faith." Zhao Shu, who supported Xiong Jing the most, resented the Zhao people again. He didn't understand what the Zhao people were thinking. Qin attacked Zhao and killed the Qin king was beneficial to Zhao. Why couldn't Zhao?
"Judge Jianxin must severely punish people about Zhao people." Cheng Jie said.
"This matter is definitely not the matter of Jianxin," Naojiu saw it more thoroughly, "This is the matter of Zhao State. If the Zhao people kill the King of Qin, Qin will also attack Zhao again; but if the Qin people kill the king, our Chu State will definitely attack Qin. If the Qin and Chu fight again, Zhao will benefit."
"Although the Zhao people are evil, but the Qin people are attacking Zhao, what can we do?" Lan She said. "If you don't say you punish Zhao, even if you don't save Zhao, Zhao will also be destroyed by Qin. If Zhao is destroyed by Qin, the world will be settled."
"If it is destroyed by Qin, it will be destroyed by Qin." Naojiu seemed to have nothing to do with Zhao. "I said early on that Zhao was a Qin State that did not dominate, while Qin State was a Zhao State that had already dominated. Qin and the Three Jins did not distinguish between each other. I can be friends and allies, Baiyue and Qiang people."
Nao said cunningly, Cheng Jie looked at him, and Higashinogu, the Great Elder Song, Luo Kai and others also looked at him. Saving Zhao was a national policy, but the Zhao people made people sick. Not only did the Zhao people get sick, but the Qi country that changed the law also made people sick.
There is also the Wei State, which is the kind that wants to stand up but cannot stand up. The officials of Wei State are vicious and greedy for money, but if you want to withdraw all the officials like Chu State, the common people cannot manage them effectively. Not to mention recruiting soldiers, the land rent cannot be collected.
If it were the meritorious people in the army, the aristocratic family despised the land of Yilu was too small and shabby, and there were no singing and dancing girls. They basically returned to Daliang after they arrived. The common people were just like officials, but the difference was that they were more vicious and greedy than officials. The original officials had already eaten enough, but they had been hungry for half their lives.
In the world, there seems to be no country similar to Chu, but most of them are similar to Qin, but the number of officials in each country is different. This situation makes the people of Chu very tired, and the voices of not being able to unite with the Three Kingdoms have always existed, and it is getting louder and louder. Zhu Ao stares at Nao, and Nao also looks at Zhu Ao, and a tacit understanding is formed in the eyes of each other.
Handan was still prosperous after the La Festival. News of the Qin people from time to time came from the front line, so that everyone was happy. Only Zhao Liang, the prime minister, was decadent and upset all day long, and he messed up everything. He believed that the Chu people would definitely understand the whole story and would definitely take revenge. With the current turbulent Zhao State, the price of the Chu people's revenge was probably the destruction of the country.
