Chapter 32 32. Lobbyists Arrive, Three Disadvantages Lobby the Chu Army

The three armies parted ways, and Master Jing'an also divided the monks into three teams. He set off with the Qi army himself. The Qi army was not many, only 3000 people.

Mo Xian and Xie Cao'er set off with the Qi army, and Daoxuan brothers followed behind Gongzi Rui, Mo Xian was very relaxed.

After all, he and Xie Caoer were not on duty today, but Young Master Rui did not let him go. Young Master Rui experienced life and death last night, and was easily resolved by Mo Xian, without even getting up.

Young Master Rui seemed to have forgotten Mo Xian's disrespect towards him, and kept talking to Mo Xian in the carriage. He finally understood what happened last night, and began to want to establish his own power.

However, Mo Xian was not enthusiastic. He followed Young Master Rui. On the one hand, it was Jing'an's arrangement, and on the other hand, he didn't have a good impression of Yan Luodian at all. Mo Xian can't be troubled, after all, the general will not accept the fate of the king outside.

The Qi army is divided into cavalry, chariots and infantry. Chariots are an ancient type of arms. Chariots are used for charging and have long been eliminated. However, due to the existence of monks, chariots are used as a vehicle. On the chariot, use spells for long-range strikes.

The chariots are located in the middle, and there are only two people in each chariot except for the royal, and there are less than a hundred chariots. In addition to foreigners, there are also warlock troops. They are chariots and soldiers. Practitioners generally do not participate in secular hegemony, except for hopeless practitioners, these practitioners, as well as people trained by various families, are full of warlocks.

In a vassal state like Qi, there are only a hundred warlocks. When Mo Xian saw them for the first time, he was taken aback. He thought they were disciples of a certain sect, and their cultivation was lower than that of Jianji, but they were dressed as soldiers. After inquiring, I found out what was going on.

Three thousand soldiers and horses arrived at Pingyang, a small town on the border of Zheng State.

At the same time, the other two groups of soldiers and horses also encountered obstacles. Mi Yiwu, the general of Chu State, went to Yuanli, and faced an army of Zheng State across the river; Soldiers and horses are under pressure.

It was getting late, and a guest came to Mi Yiwu's army tent. It was not accurate to say that it was the guest, but a lobbyist of Zheng Guo.

Zheng Hou Baili Cong knew it when Qi followed Chu to send troops, and called all the officials: "Qi, Sui, and Chu attack me, how can we retreat from the enemy?"

Bo Hunshang said: "Your Majesty, the three families cannot be united, and I think they can be divided."

"How to differentiate?"

"Qi and Sui have two families, each with sons Rui and Zhi, and each of the two families owns rare goods. If they succeed in cutting me down, the two families can even divide the state of Zheng, ruled by their sons Rui and Zhi as puppets, while Chu has no bargaining chips. I recommend someone to speak to the Chu army."

"who?"

"It's my minister's retainer, Yi Zhen, who will definitely be able to retreat to Chu. Once Chu leaves, both countries will lose their support. Your majesty will send another army. The people of Zheng will fight to the death."

"Okay! According to what the Qing family said, but the widow still sends you to lead a thousand soldiers to attack the Chu soldiers as Yi Zhen's backing. If you succeed in this route, the remaining two routes will be easy."

"Thank you sir." Bo Hunshang bowed his hands and saluted.

"How about the other two routes?" Zheng Hou Bailicong asked, sweeping his eyes at the others.

"I would like to lead an army to Pingyang to meet Qi's army," Duan Muzhen said.

"How many soldiers and horses do you want?"

"The minister only needs a thousand elite soldiers."

"Is it too little?" Zheng Hou said, "How do you defend against the enemy?"

"One thousand is enough! If you defend the city, even if the enemy has tens of thousands of people, you will not be able to conquer it. The Qi army will work hard and go on an expedition. If Chu retreats, then Qi will not last long. It is difficult to defeat the enemy with a thousand, but it is not difficult to retreat. " Duanmuzhen said.

"Okay! I'll just watch you retreat from the enemy." Zheng Hou said happily, "Now there is the last road left, gentlemen, what other good ideas do you have?"

Gongyang Quan came out and said, "I'll go to Suiguo."

"The Qing family is loyal, the widow already knew, but the Qing family are civil servants, how can they lead the army?" Zheng Hou immediately shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to be a general to lead an army. Civil servants have the advantages of civil servants. If you are not brave, you will not advance aggressively. I am good at defending but not good at attacking. I am good at defending and not attacking. I am careful to block the soldiers and horses that follow the country. If you are not at ease, you can Choose a lieutenant general to go with me." Gongyang Quan said.

Zheng Hou hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Then send General Huaxili and the doctor, the doctor and civil servant must have a unique method?!"

"There is no good way, only adapt to the situation. As the saying goes, capture the thief first, capture the king, my army guards the Shangshe pass, and send warriors to sneak into the enemy's army secretly, assassinate the enemy chieftain, success is better, even if it is unsuccessful, it will not affect our army. .” Ram Quan said.

When he said this, Duan Muzhen's eyes lit up and he fell into deep thought.

"It's so adaptable. If you say that, I'm relieved. I am a majestic Zheng Guo. Let the world see, even if the world is against me, I have nothing to fear." Zheng Hou was also very proud.

After the court was over, everyone went to prepare by themselves. Zhenghou Bailicong asked Bai Wuchang next to him: "Hunting Envoy, are our Yan Luo Palace staff ready?"

"My lord, I'm ready. I'll take the eighteen ghosts to Pingyang myself. There are ten others who are masters of Babu Tianlong's spells. Let Baili Rui die in the army; Heiwuchang will take the eighteen ghosts and ten Babu Tianlong masters. Tianlong's masters go to Shangsheguan to hunt and kill Bailizhi, but there is no one to lead them to Yuanli." Bai Wuchang said.

"Don't worry, Xiaoming Wang Ranyue is still in our country, I will invite him, this face will always be given." Zheng Hou Baili Cong laughed, "It is Baili Ming, last time in Guhua Temple, Bo Shunshang carefully checked The corpse is not in the temple, where did he go?"

"In this way, the three roads are safe." Bai Wuchang said happily.

"One more thing, Emperor Da'an will send someone to mediate our disputes." Bai Li Cong said another thing.

Bai Wuchang's eyes lit up: "This is great, the development of the situation is completely beneficial to us, why did Emperor Da'an think of being a middleman, isn't it that Emperor Da'an can't control the affairs of the princes?"

"Concubine Shu Liji is one of our people. She is being favored. The leader of the nether world instructed her to blow the wind on the pillow. Emperor Yu Ding couldn't stand her provocation and wanted to interfere in the affairs of the princes, so he sent the minister Guo Gui to mediate. Although he can't control the affairs of the princes, he is the son of heaven after all. Emperor Yuding has great ambitions. He wants to show the glory of the Taizu, but his ability is not enough. As long as there is a stalemate between us and the royal family comes, it will be useful .” Bai Licong smiled lightly.

In Yuanli, Yi Zhen went to see Mi Yiwu, the general of the Chu State. Mi Yiwu knew that he was coming to be a lobbyist, and ordered his men to set up a fire in the big tent. In a big cauldron, the water was boiling and rolling.

Yizhen held his head high, while Mi Yiwu sat on the handsome seat with a gloomy expression.

"Who is here?" Mi Yiwu asked.

Yi Zhen didn't seem to have seen the cauldron, his expression was normal, and he cupped his hand: "Cao Min Yi Zhen has seen the general, dare to ask the general, why did he lead the army into our territory?"

"Our country raises righteous soldiers, helps the weak, and punishes the innocent. The king of the state of Zheng killed his son-in-law and expelled his brothers. I came for justice! As a person of Zheng, you dare to be a lobbyist. Is the water boiling? You're not afraid that I'll cook you." Mi Yiwu stared at Yi Zhen.

Yi Zhen laughed loudly: "I heard that the general is an unrivaled hero. I was very disappointed when I saw him today. Is the general afraid of me being a mediocre person?"

Mi Yiwu's face sank, and he smiled anxiously: "I am a dignified general of Chu, how can I be afraid of you!"

"Don't be afraid of me, what is under the hall, you are not afraid of me talking to you, if it is a righteous thing, don't you be afraid of people talking about it." Yi Zhen looked directly at Mi Yiwu with a sneer on his lips.

Mi Yiwu was a little embarrassed, but he quickly smiled: "I will try my courage, come here, and remove the tripod. Please sit down, sir."

Some soldiers stepped forward and removed the tripod.

"Thank you, General. I came here this time for the state of Chu, not for the state of Zheng. I dare to ask the general, is the state of Chu adjacent to the state of Zheng?" Yi Zhen asked.

"Everyone in the world knows that Chu State and Zheng State do not border each other."

"Is there Mr. Zheng Guo in Chu?"

"No."

"Then the general came here for a name?"

"That's right, cutting down the innocent and helping the weak should be the heartfelt voice of the state of Chu." Mi Yiwu said.

"The country is not bordered, and the state of Zheng is gone. There is nothing to benefit Chu, but to be strong and follow. I'm afraid I will complain, and even have a rift with Chu in the future, and fall to Qi Sui and other countries. This is a disadvantage; The people of the state of Zheng are in dire straits, but the state of Zheng is united as one. After Zheng Hou succeeded to the throne, he eliminated the bad government, and the country was inspired by it. Why is there no way, and the teacher of the unrighteous is two disadvantages; although the state of Zheng is small, but the people It is easy to form an army, and the righteousness is there, but Qi Sui and the two countries work hard and go on expeditions, and they will inevitably fall into a long-term battle. As time goes on, conflicts will arise. This is the three disadvantages.

I couldn't bear the general's coming here, and finally ended up with a lost teacher, so it was the general's plan. "Yizhen lobbied Mi Yiwu from several aspects, and Mi Yiwu fell into deep thought after hearing what Yizhen said.

A soldier came in and whispered in Mi Yiwu's ear that Zheng Jun in Yuanli had begun to increase his troops, based on tents and lights.At least three or four thousand.

This is a strategy agreed upon by Yizhen and Bo Yunshang before he came. There were originally 1000 troops in Yuanli, and Bo Yunshang brought another thousand soldiers and horses, but Bo Yunshang bluffed and used a lot of empty tents and lights to create a three-dimensional palace. The illusion of 4000 men and horses is helping Zhen behind the scenes.

Even if Yizhen goes to lobby Mi Yiwu, strength is still needed. Bo Hunshang's doing so proves that Yizhen's words are credible, and Zheng Guo has united as one.

On the one hand, Chu State is an important force in the Qi Sui coalition army, and it can be independent. More importantly, in Yizhen's words, Mi Yiwu has to consider whether it is in terms of profit, name, or Zheng Guo's determination to resist. , once you consider yourself, the situation immediately becomes self-evident.

Yizhen persuaded the Chu army with a three-inch tongue, and among the three armies, Chu withdrew.
