But after the birthday banquet, the old king, besides being angry, could not help but feel a little worried. If Liu Zhao really led his troops to invade, how could his small country of Hanjiang resist?
The old king couldn't help but recall that when the Donghu tribes jointly invaded Liaodong, Liu Zhao, who was only seventeen years old and without the assistance of the Central Plains, led only a few thousand defenders and defeated the Donghu army of 200,000 soldiers. Shocking the world, he was respected as the "Liaodong Little Tyrant". Thinking of this, the old king sighed with regret: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have shown off my ability and not invited..."
At this time, a minister named Cui He said: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. I think that Liu Zhao is so strong that he has long wanted to swallow my Han River to dominate the Central Plains. If there is no excuse today, he will find another excuse."
"What's the use of talking about this now?" The old king couldn't help but lament: "Why don't we cede a few cities to ensure the safety of our country?"
Cui He resolutely said: "No! This is just trying to put out the fire, and it is by no means a foolproof strategy!"
The old king was so worried that he threw the tea cup to the ground angrily: "Then what do you want to do!"
Cui He knelt down and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am willing to go to Liaodong as an envoy, so that we don't have to cut off a city or a pond on the Han River, and we can avoid the disaster of war."
After hearing this, the old king seemed to have taken a dose of reassurance, and his tone instantly softened: "I wonder what you have to say?"
"The army of Liaodong, such as turbulent floods, cannot be stopped, but can be attracted. Wechen is willing to use three inches to not rotten tongue to cause the water to flow!"
A few days later, Cui He went to Liaodong as an envoy on behalf of King Hanjiang. The sound of the car crushed the sunset for more than the sunset, and it was sturdy in the soil. He looked at the red sun hanging on the top of the mountain in the west, his hands filled with sweat.
Unconsciously, Cui He had arrived in Liaodong City. By this time, it was getting late. The soldiers of the city are preparing to pull the suspension bridge and close the gate. The carriage driver shouted: "Don't close the city gate! The envoy from Hanjiang Kingdom is here to pay a visit to King Yan!"
The soldiers of the city were unreasonable and regarded him as a joke. Staring at him interested.
Cui He slowly got out of the car and looked at the soldier soldiers and said, "Is the king of expensive treating another country?"
The soldiers of the city laughed: "Mo Fei didn't know, my king wanted to fight with the Hanjiang River. Please leave quickly, if you are hesitant, it will be turned into a soul in the city!"
Cui He rolled his eyes and immediately returned: "People say that King Yan has great talent and great strategy, but when I saw him today, I realized that he was a small-minded overlord. The little overlord who dominates the place cannot tolerate a mere Confucian scholar like me. It can be said that his reputation is in vain."
The soldiers guarding the city were dissatisfied, but remained unmoved.
When Cui He saw that he had no movement, his heart was born. He took off his coat and exposed a white shirt. And take out a white 车 from the carriage and wrap it around his forehead: "The death of King Yan is coming, let me go into the city quickly!"
"Damn things!" The soldiers of the city were furious. They fucking long -fled, opened the gate of the city, and tied all the envoys of the Hanjiang River and hit a meal. He was then imprisoned and reported to King Yan for disposal.
After Liu Zhao learned the news, he immediately recruited staff. Among them, Kong Tao, an important minister who promoted the conquest of the Hanjiang Kingdom, tried his best to persuade him to be executed in sacrifice to the flag.
"So it is not proper." Liu Zhao looked a little cautious.
Kong Tao replied loudly: "That Cui He is a well-known eloquent person. He must have come here to persuade us to retreat. In my opinion, he should be executed immediately!"
For how to deal with this sensitive character, Liu Zhao always checked. He quietly sent someone to protect Cui He in the prison, but refused to meet on the one hand. As long as Cui He is in prison one day, he will not be able to send troops.
Kong Ye contacted the guests, trying to assassinate Cui He in prison. But because of Liu Zhao's secret protection, he was able to escape unscathed. He continued to encourage Liu Zhao and persuaded him to quickly send troops to the Han River.
Zhaude Sixth September September September
The weather is colder day by day, especially in Liaodong, and it gradually enters late autumn and is surprisingly cold. The leaves quietly flew into prison, with a trace of losing affection. Cui He has lived in prison for several months, An Ruotai Mountain. Although Kong Xun sent people to be released immediately as long as he promised to return to Hanjiang. Cui He was still unmoved and insisted on seeing the Liaodong Xiaoba.
One day at a public meeting, Liu Zhao's civil and military staff gathered to discuss sending troops. But what made everyone unexpected was that the Hanjiang envoy Cui He, who had gone through the life, stood in the middle of the meeting and looked at Liu Zhao.
"Mourn the king in the next special!"
However, Liu Zhao smiled slightly: "Mr. Mr. said amazingly, there must be a reason why you want to come, and ask Mr. to teach."
In the prison for a few months in prison, despite the darkness and thin face, there was an inexplicable confidence in his eyes: "The king does not think about it, so he will send troops to the Hanjiang River. This is the way to get a disaster. Don't come to mourn? "
This sentence made the crowds of cultural and military all exploded. How arrogant speeches, did the Han River not recognize their status?
Kong Xun saw this guy standing proudly in front of him, and he couldn't wait to kill him thousands of times. But he had to converge the anger, and stepped forward to answer: "If it comes for my troops for my Liaodong, please ask the envoy to be free of charge!"
Cui He stared at him: "I don't know who Mr., please enlighten me."
"My dear Kong Tao, I am fortunate to meet your distinguished envoy."
Cui He listened, haha laughed: "It turned out to be Master Kong, and the reputation of talked about the soldiers on the paper had long heard. Before the next birth, the adults were talking about it, admiring it!"
In terms of momentum, this thin man has completely overwhelmed all Liaodong staff. Kong Tao was extremely angry, but he finally suppressed his anger: "Your envoy came all the way, could it be that he just came to mock us?"
"How dare you?"
Liu Zhao looked at him with interest, his voice was not cold or hot: "If you make a distant way, there must be a king who will know the king, and ask Mr. to enlighten me."
"I dare not enlighten me, this is what the eyes are seen!" Cui He shook his sleeves and asked his hands, "Dare to ask the king, if there is a hunter in the jungle, and occasionally see the two tigers, how should you deal with it?"
Without waiting for Liu Zhao to answer, Kong Ye said with a smile: "If you follow my king, there are still room for choice. Instead of making the Han River King, I wonder if it is good?"
"My Wang Su ruled the country with benevolence, and disdain this hunter's skills." Cui He didn't panic.
Liu Zhao couldn't worry, and answered: "It is both a hunter, then it must take the advantage of survival first. If you want to get the two tigers, you can sit on the wall and wait for the two defeats.
"If the hunter shoots a tiger first, how can the other tiger deal with?"
"The two tigers may fight Orion with their lives. Even if Orion wins, it will definitely consume more energy."
Cui He's voice added a few sisters, and even more flushed: "The king knows this reason, why do you want to flourish the soldiers and offend me, and make Zhang Qingmeng enjoy it?!"
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a stir. Everyone's unwavering thought of sending soldiers suddenly had a trace of looseness. Kong Tao was a little panicked and quickly replied: "Such fallacies have no basis. If our land in Liaodong has access to the Han River, we will have the confidence to dominate the Central Plains."
"I am afraid that the soldiers of Liaodong have not been in the Hanjiang River. Zhang Qingmeng's soldiers have already taken advantage of it.
"That Zhang Qingmeng has Hua Hao to the south and Xiao Lu to the west. It is clamped down on both sides, coupled with the internal instability, it is difficult to escape for a while. This is a good opportunity given to me by God. It is time to accumulate strength and make other plans."
Cui He ignored it completely and faced Liu Zhao: "If the king attacks the Han River, everything will be lost. If I advise Zhang Qingmeng to send troops, he will definitely agree. This is also a good opportunity given to Zhang Qingmeng by God. Even if the king is so wise and powerful, with the mere victory of Youzhou Earth, fighting against the millions of people in the Central Plains and the Han River is nothing more than a fool's dream. It is better to form an alliance with me, the Han River, to help the king dominate the Central Plains, and hope that the king will learn from it."
"What nonsense! What nonsense!" Kong Tao was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Your Majesty, you must not listen to this person's deception. The small country of Hanjiang is the most capricious and cannot be trusted. Moreover, Zhang Qingmeng, the leader of Ming Dynasty, has strong officials, occupying the Central Plains, and has a territory of thousands of miles. . How can Liaodong currently resist?"
"As your Excellency said just now, Zhang Qingmeng is internally unstable. There are constraints on both sides. If used, it will be a weapon to dominate the Central Plains. What's more, Liaodong's soldiers and horses are strong, and the king's martial prowess is no less than Zhang Qingmeng. If Zhang Qingmeng of the Central Plains can sit down, the king Why can't I sit? Therefore, I would like to ask the adults to stick to books and change through the world, and it is invincible. "
Kong Ye was completely panicked, because he faintly discovered that Liu Zhao's eyes burned a fire that dominated the Central Plains, and a crowd of cultural and military staff were encouraged by his remarks, and the situation became more and more unfavorable to himself.
"Okay!" Liu Zhao stood up: "The gentleman said, it is really passionate. I also ask my husband to be a staff member of my account temporarily, and take the Central Plains with me!"
Cui He bowed respectfully: "I am not talented, but I am willing to do my best for the king. Tonight, I will write a letter to ask my king to send troops to help. By then, our troops will flood into the Central Plains like a torrential flood. I'm afraid That clear dreams are difficult to swallow! "
All the civil and military staff were led and shouted in unison:
"Liaodong Tieqi, break the Central Plains !!!"
The loud roar echoed around, and Kong Ye's heart could be described as mixed flavors. He didn't know how to do it, and had to kneel on the ground to try to continue to justify. But no one cares about him.
At this moment, his kneeling figure was invisibly smeared with sadness.
The army who prepared for the Hanjiang River turned to the head for a while and marched towards the Central Plains. Liu Zhao is wearing silver armor, holding a spear, riding on a white horse, and looks heroic. Cui Hyuk, like a seasoned Confucian scholar, followed closely behind on a brown horse. Behind them, there were 140,000 Liaodong cavalrymen, with banners filling the sky and a huge momentum. The continuous neighing of horses seemed to shatter the sky.
Just as this army was preparing to step out of the Liaodong city gate with great confidence, they suddenly saw a man standing in front of the city gate with his hands spread out. His hair is disheveled and his eyes are determined.
"Whoever stops here and quickly drives it away!" Liu Zhao drank sharply.
The soldiers at the city gate came to report: "Return to your Majesty, this is Master Kong Tao. He has been here since the morning and refuses to leave. No matter how hard he tries to persuade him, it will not work."
Liu Zhao rode up to him and looked at him coldly: "Kong Tao, what are you doing?"
"He also asked the king to take back his life, kill Cui He, and attack the Han River. If he insists on attacking the Central Plains, the disaster is coming!" Kong Xun's voice was extremely sharp.
Liu Zhao was slightly dissatisfied: "You are the only one in Liaodong who insists on sending troops to the Han River. What grudge do you have against the Han River?"
"Xia Mu Gong did not listen to Uncle Xun's words, and sent troops to Zheng Guo, and eventually defeated Laoshan. Today, Zhang Qingmeng is far from a Zheng Guo. !”
"Bold!" Liu Zhao was furious: "The war is right, but Ru again and again, and then encouraging the losing theory again.
Cui He knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice: "When I hear that the king has made a mistake, it is unfaithful for me not to remonstrate. It is unfilial for a son not to remonstrate for a father's fault. All the staff knew clearly that the king had made a mistake, but they did not remonstrate with him. This is what he said. It is a great sin! I have been lonely and weak since I was a child, and I regard the king as my father. If the staff does not remonstrate, it is nothing but disloyalty. And if the minister does not remonstrate, it is disloyal and unfilial. These are two serious crimes! Please don’t be underestimated. If you are deceived by others, take back your destiny!"
"Live in your mouth! A rotten Confucianism, so greedy for life and death. If Yiru said, this king will die in Liaodong sooner or later!
Kong Tao felt a numbness of humiliation all over his body, his teeth kept chattering, and his tears kept flowing. Suddenly, he shouted in despair: "I am willing to die to clarify my will in exchange for the king to change his mind!"
After saying this, he crashed into the city wall desperately. A heavy drum sound was heard, and blood flowed across the city wall and splashed on the city wall.
Liu Zhao was furious, but when he saw this situation, he felt a trace of regret in his heart. But it was too late, so he had to be hastily buried. Immediately, there was a sound of horse whips, and 140,000 Liaodong cavalry rushed towards the Central Plains...
