The next day, the envoy returned and handed the King of Chu a confidential document. This file is placed in a small black iron box and requires a password to be opened.
The envoy came to the ear of the King of Chu and told him the password.
King Chu entered the password, opened the box, took out a folded piece of paper, opened it, and looked at it for a few seconds.
After reading it, King Chu's expression changed drastically and he froze for several seconds.
Chu Ba immediately asked: "Brother, what's wrong?"
King Chu glanced at Chu Ba, and then said to the others: "You all go down first."
When there was no one else in the hall, King Chu said to Chu Ba: "King Zhao said that we should strike first and asked me to send 100,000 troops to help."
"What? One hundred thousand?"
"Keep your voice down." King Chu patted Chu Ba on the head.
"Brother, we only have about 200,000 troops in the country. How can we send half of our troops to help Zhao?"
"The problem is not here. The Zhao State is too bold. Ao Lie has not officially invaded yet, and Zhao Lin actually wants to take the initiative to cause trouble for them. If Ao Lie is offended, wouldn't it force him to advance the invasion plan?"
"Brother, let's leave Zhao Guo alone. If he wants to fight, let him fight. Won't we just get married while watching the show?"
"Things are not that simple. Either don't start the war early, but if you want to start the war early, you must win, otherwise the Zhao State will be destroyed. Once the Zhao State is destroyed, we will be the next ones. We will die in despair."
"You mean, we, the Six Kingdoms of Tianzhu, will all send troops to assist Zhao?"
"Let's talk about it later. There is a USB flash drive in the box. There should be some information in it. Let's go to the conference room."
King Chu and Chu Ba left the main hall and went to the conference room in the side hall. They inserted the USB flash drive into the computer and found that there was a lot of information and two letters from King Zhao.
After checking it, King Chu was surprised to find that there was a detailed map of the Yunding Mountains in it.
The Yunding Mountains are the end of the mountains in the southwest. As long as you come down from the Yunding Mountains, you will find a vast plain and a tiger eyeing Tianzhu.
The map records many military strongholds built on the mountains. There are twelve large strongholds that have been investigated. Each stronghold has tens of thousands of troops. In total, Ao Lie has deployed 200,000 to 300,000 troops in Yunding Mountain. . This is just a rough estimate, and the exact amount is not known at all.
In addition, more than half a year ago, Ao Lie had sent a large number of spies to sneak into the Six Kingdoms of Tianzhu. All kings must pay attention to this.
King Chu briefly browsed the relevant information, and then opened the first letter from King Zhao.
It can be seen from the content of the letter that Zhao Lin had already deployed spies in Lieguo. According to the spy's report, neither Aolie is currently in Southern Xichuan Province. In other words, they are likely to be in Yunding Mountain and plan to launch an invasion in the short term.
After Sima Yi joined, the first advice he gave Zhao Lin was to strike preemptively.
The city closest to Yunding Mountain is called Su City, which is one of the largest military cities in Zhao State. As early as a few months ago, Zhao Lin had begun to secretly mobilize troops to Su City. Now the strength of Su City has reached 200,000, which is a considerable fighting force. At that time, the purpose of dispatching troops to Su City was to guard against Ao Lie. Presumably Ao Lie also knew about this, so he did not launch an invasion war for a long time.
Sima Yi said that Ao Lie would never guess that Zhao Guoguo would take the initiative. As long as Su City's soldiers launch a surprise attack, they can severely damage Ao Lie's base. However, once Su Cheng's troops enter Yunding Mountain and the battle line is lengthened, Zhao's capital and other cities will be empty. At this time, they were afraid that Ao Lie's underground party would launch a surprise attack. To this end, Zhao Lin hoped that the King of Chu would help with 100,000 troops to go to the territory of Zhao and settle in the city near the capital. Even if there is unrest within the capital, Chu troops can enter the Zhao capital.
After reading this letter, King Chu felt very shocked.
"King Zhao actually told me such a confidential matter? Why is this?"
"Brother, is King Zhao crazy? We were enemies before, and he actually said that we can let our soldiers enter their capital." Chu Ba was stunned.
"I really can't understand what King Zhao is doing." King Chu immediately opened the second letter.
This second letter solved most of King Chu's doubts.
The Chu State and the Zhao State had constant grievances from the beginning of the end of the world, and they were still next to each other until the founding of the People's Republic of China. Zhao State is located in the northeast of the land of Tianzhu, while Chu State is in the northwest. The two countries border on each other and conflicts continue. But in the past six months, the two countries have become good friends and have a harmonious relationship. However, this is not the reason why I trust you. The reason why I tell you the confidential things is because I have no choice.
King Chu, you are a fortune teller. Although your skills are average, you can occasionally learn about the future. I don’t know if you saw that a person holding the flag of fire trampled me under his feet.
Sima Yi said that the future picture cannot be changed. Then there are two possibilities. One is that I was captured when I went on an expedition. One is that after the capital of Zhao State was captured and the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, I was captured.
If it's the first situation, I still have a chance to make a comeback. If it is the second situation, Zhao will be completely destroyed.
Rather than that, I might as well make a bet, because the Kingdom of Chu is closest to me, and you, King Chu, are also a fortune teller, and we have been dealing with each other for so long, and we are both enemies and friends. If you don’t understand me, I really don’t know what else to do. Who will understand me.
Regarding the confidential matter of my surprise attack on Yunding Mountain, I have only told you now. But regarding the matter of uniting the six countries to fight against Ao Lie, I have already told the kings of each country my thoughts.
Whether this land of Tianzhu belongs to the Six Kingdoms or to Ao Lie is up to you.
After reading the letter, Chu Ba asked puzzledly: "What do you mean, it depends on the eldest brother?"
"What he means is that if I reach sincere cooperation with King Zhao, other countries will follow suit."
“Aren’t other countries going to stab Lou in the back?”
"If we don't want Tianzhu to fall into Ao Lie's hands, the United Nations of the Six Nations will be the only hope. Since they can sit on the throne of a country, they don't understand this simple truth."
"So brother, are you determined to help?"
"We have no other choice, so hurry up and prepare your troops."
"good!"
In the capital of Chu State, in a county town near the outskirts, there was a man in tattered clothes, holding a telescope, standing on the top of a tall building, looking at a military base not far away.
Generally, military bases are built in suburbs far away from urban areas, and this young man's task is to keep an eye on every move of the military base.
Today, he sensed a lot of combat activities in the military base, and it seemed that there was going to be a military operation.
Sure enough, about ten minutes later, groups of soldiers left the military base and headed east.
Assembling to the east, it seems that they are going to the east city gate.
The young man immediately sent this information to his superiors, who replied: "Continue to observe. If the troop deployment this time is large, we may need to act early."
After reading the message, the young man was thoughtful. He has been lurking in this county for almost a month, and has been observing the situation of the military base. Once there is a vulnerability in the military base, he and his teammates will sneak attack on the military base, destroying the equipment, materials, supplies, etc. of the military base.
Today, there has been a large-scale deployment of troops at the military base. This is an unprecedented loophole. It will not take long for superiors to issue action orders.
However, there were only a thousand people participating in the operation this time. With only a thousand people, I don’t know whether it can be successful. Even if it succeeds, it is estimated that many brothers will be lost.
The young man came downstairs and arrived at a pancake stall.
The owner of the pancake stall saw the young man and said with a smile: "Jiang Ze, why didn't you go to the construction site today?"
"Be lazy." Jiang Ze smiled.
"How can you do this? Aren't you afraid that the construction site will fire you?"
"Don't worry, that construction site boss is very stingy, and the salary is so low that he can't bear to fire people."
"Look at you, your salary is not high, and you are often lazy. No wonder you can't even afford a good suit of clothes."
"Uncle Li, what you said is that I am your regular customer anyway, so why did you teach me a lesson?" Jiang Ze said with a smile.
"It's just because you are my regular customer that I'm telling you this. You are such an old person and have been in this county for almost a month. You should be looking for a way out. How can you spend three days fishing and two days drying nets? ?”
"Okay, Uncle Li, let's not talk about anything else. Give me two pancakes. This time I want a larger version with more meat."
"Hey, are you so kind to yourself this time? I usually ask you to do it, but you are not willing to do it."
"Haha, I want to have a good time today."
"Okay, the total is 25 yuan."
"Okay, here." Jiang Ze gave Uncle Li a 50-yuan note.
Uncle Li took the 50 yuan and planned to change it. At this moment, several urban management officers drove toward Uncle Li on bicycles. When the sharp-eyed Uncle Li saw the city management approaching, he was so frightened that he immediately closed the stall, turned on the electric three-wheeler and ran away.
"Uncle Li, my pancakes?" Jiang Ze shouted.
"It's too late, I'll do it for you next time."
"What about my money?"
"Don't worry, I'll return it to you next time. We are so familiar with each other that we can't rely on you." Uncle Li turned a corner and disappeared from sight.
The urban management team members failed to catch Uncle Li, so they had to come to Jiang Ze and said impatiently: "What's your situation? Our county does not allow beggars with good health and limbs. If you don't want to work, we will arrest you." Police station.”
"Brother urban management, I am not a beggar. I have a work permit." Jiang Ze took out his work permit. He was a worker in a nearby construction factory.
The urban management officer looked at it and said with a look of disgust on his face: "When you get your salary, go and change your clothes. Look at how ragged your clothes are."
"I know, I know."
"If you really have difficulties, go to the community and apply for some old clothes. It's better than your shabby clothes."
"I know, thank you, urban management brother."
The urban management officers got on their bicycles again and went to patrol other places.
Jiang Ze couldn't finish the pancakes, and his stomach growled with hunger, so he had no choice but to go to a milk tea shop opposite.
Jiang Ze often visited this milk tea shop. This milk tea shop has a beautiful manager, probably in her twenties. Jiang Ze doesn't like milk tea, but for this beautiful store manager, he often spends money to buy milk tea that he doesn't really need.
Now, penniless, he was wandering in front of the milk tea shop, afraid to go in.
Store manager Yuan Keke saw a familiar person outside the door, so he took the initiative to go out and asked, "Why don't you come in?"
"I...I...today..."
"Are you out of money?"
"how do you know?"
"Guess."
"Okay, that's pretty accurate."
"Come in, let's do the activity today, you can order a free drink, you can order anything."
"Really or not? What are the activities today?"
"Don't worry about it, just come in."
Just like that, the store manager invited Jiang Ze in and asked him to order whatever he wanted.
Jiang Ze was a little embarrassed. He was hesitant and felt that there was no actual activity and it was just the store manager who was kind-hearted.
Finally, Jiang Ze ordered a cup of moderately priced milk tea and thanked him profusely.
After Jiang Ze left, the clerk asked the store manager curiously: "What activities are there today? Why did you invite him to drink milk tea?"
"Look at him, he comes to buy milk tea almost every day, and he always orders the most expensive one. But his clothes are a bit tattered, and he is obviously working on a construction site, and his salary is not high. But he still comes to buy milk tea every day, and it has lasted for a month. . He is in trouble today, shouldn’t I help him?”
"Store manager, you help others when they are in trouble. Who will help you when you are in trouble? If you can't pay the rent this month, the store will close. If the store closes, I will be unemployed."
"Don't worry about this, I will try my best to find a solution."
On the other side, Jiang Ze came to a corner, drinking milk tea and looking at his mobile phone.
Suddenly, a new message came from the phone: "Action."
Jiang Ze was stunned for a few seconds, but he didn't expect that he would take action before he took a few sips of milk tea.
