The author has something to say: the annexation war is about to start. Butterfly drew a map of the vassal states of the Great Qin Dynasty. It may be difficult to see the names of the countries. Let me explain here.

The light yellow on the lower right side is the country of Wu, and the same color on the top is the country of Yan, the home country of Princess Zhao.Blue is the largest state of Chu, dark yellow is the state of Chen and Lu, light green is the state of Zhao, silver and white is the state of Wei, dark green is the state of Tang, purple is the state of Qi, red is the state of Xu, and the two long green lines are rivers , the upper part is the big river, and the lower part is the long river.The black spot in the middle and upper reaches of the river is Haojing, the capital of Qin Dynasty.

King Tang was very careful when he dispatched Kuiji. Only his favorite minister and Fu Chou's mentor knew about the assassination, and Kuiji was a ranger who was not afraid of death.Tang Wang thought that the matter of hiring murderers to murder Zheng Yuming was very hidden.

As for the assassination of Kuiji in Ulsan, based on the information obtained by Huang Zhong alone, there is no real evidence to prove that Kuiji's behavior has something to do with King Tang.It is Fu Chou that connects Kuiji and Tang Wang's assassination.

When Kuiji delivered a letter from his mentor to Fu Chou, he once boasted to Fu Chou that he was going to do a big event. Fu Chou just wanted to ask about the big event, but was interrupted by Yang He's arrival.From Yang He's words, Kuiji suspects that Fu Chou's mentality of avenging his father has changed. He thinks that Fu Chou cannot be trusted, so he immediately decides to stay away from Fu Chou and hastily bid farewell.

Because Kuiji was suspicious of Fu Chou, he had no sense of trust in the internal aid staff provided by King Tang, so he decided to assassinate Zheng Yuming alone.Wu's intelligence personnel are far away from Kuiji and Fu Chou, and they didn't hear Kuiji's key words about the big event, so Huang Zhong made a wrong judgment, thinking that Kuiji was a ranger who came to Wu to seek prosperity and wealth.

At the scene of the assassination in Ulsan, Fu Chou recalled that Kuiji had boasted that he was going to do an earth-shattering event, and then associated with the suggestion in the mentor's letter, he analyzed that Kuiji's assassination was ordered, and he blurted out on the spot to testify against King Tang.

Kuiji angered Fu Chou because of the failed assassination. At that time, he resented Fu Chou and indirectly admitted that King Tang was the real murderer behind the scenes.Tang Wang never expected that his hiring of murder would be exposed.

Before Zheng Yuming was assassinated and fell into a coma, he was afraid that his serious injury and dying would cause shocks in Wu State, so he ordered Ma Ren to block the news and wait for Chu Chaohui's return.After Jiang Gui diagnosed Zheng Yuming that his life was not in danger, Chu Chaohui asked the Southern News to announce the assassination of Zheng Yuming.The Southern News report described the process of Kuiji's assassination in great detail. Who was the mastermind that Kuiji admitted at the end of his life was the most important thing in the report. The authenticity of the incident was witnessed by Prince Zhao, who was also a victim.

Thanks to the well-developed transportation in Wu State, it took only four days for Tang State spies to deliver the newspaper to Tang Wang.

"The good disciples taught by the Taifu not only refused to be loyal to their kings, but also put their kings on firewood!" Tang Wang angrily threw Nanbao at the feet of Fu Chou's mentor Ji Tu.

Ji Tu picked up the newspaper and read it. His face was completely drained of blood. He knelt down at the feet of King Tang with a 'plop': "I have no way to teach, and I have taught countless ungrateful and ungrateful sinners. I deserve death!"

"If you die thousands of times, can Wu and Zhao be held accountable?" Tang Wang drew out his sword and was about to kill Ji Tu, when Tang Wang's favorite officials rushed up and grabbed Tang Wang's arm.

"Your Majesty, calm down! Taifu Ji is devoted to his wisdom and loyalty. His utter loyalty can shine on the sun and the moon. There are villains under his family, which is not what Taifu Ji wanted. Now that the situation is at this point, Your Majesty, please spare the Taifu first, so that the Taifu can come up with a plan to solve the crisis." Ji The Taifu is the most famous scholar in the Tang Kingdom, and the king of Tang angrily killed Ji Tu, which would cause protests from people of insight in the Tang Kingdom. Now that the Tang Kingdom has been troubled, it is inappropriate for the Tang King to personally execute Ji Tu himself.Although Tang Wang's favored ministers have no talents, they still understand this point.

The king of Tang stopped his movements, rolled his eyes, and came up with a countermeasure. He returned the sword to its sheath, and took a step to help Ji Tu: "Mr. Loyalty is known to everyone in the world, and I believe that what the evildoers did was not the original intention of the Taifu."

"Your Majesty Mingjian!" His disciple committed the heinous crime of betraying the king, and Tang Wang was so considerate. Ji Tu was moved to tears.

"The ranger from Yan State went to Wu State to bring Ai Qing's letter, and wanted to assassinate Mr. Wu Guoming, did he follow the order of the Taifu?" King Tang's voice was very soft, but when it reached Ji Tu's ears, it was like thunder. The meaning of King Tang was obvious. , he asked Ji Tu to take over the assassination incident, so that the king of Tang could clear himself of the suspicion of instigation.

Ji Tu opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at the king he was loyal to. King Tang's eyes flickered with anticipation.Tang Wang's favorite minister lowered his head and remained silent.For a while, the palace was so quiet that the sound of breathing could be heard.

After a long time, Ji Tu's Adam's apple twitched several times, he took a step back, and saluted King Tang resignedly: "Ji Tu bids farewell to His Majesty, Tu will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations."

Tang Wang nodded with satisfaction: "Don't worry, you, I will always remember the loyalty and courage of Ai Qing."

Ji Tu didn't say anything more, just kowtowed three times to King Tang and then staggered away.

That night, Ji Tu committed suicide by taking poison in his own mansion. Before he died, he left a suicide note, admitting that Kuiji was sent by him to Wu Guo to assassinate his son Ming. Pupil Fu Chou wrote a letter asking Fu Chou to cooperate with Kuiji in action.

Ji Tu's suicide note stated that he was the one who hired murderers to assassinate him, and had nothing to do with the king of Tang.

After the king of Tang got Ji Tu's suicide note, he quickly sent envoys to transport the suicide note, Ji Tu's body, and Ji Tu's family and children to Northwest County as if he had found a treasure. clean.

Zhou Cheng did not dare to be negligent after receiving the envoys of the Tang Kingdom, and transported Ji Tu's body and Ji Tu's family together with his suicide note to Nanbu by large ship.Chu Chaohui sneered again and again after reading Ji Tu's Jueming confession suicide note, he summoned Fu Chou, and Fu Chou burst into tears after reading his teacher's Jueming suicide note. As a scapegoat, Fu Chou has completely understood the nature of King Tang so far.

Tang Wang's rogue behavior of looking for a scapegoat to exonerate himself from his guilt aroused the anger of the North and South Colleges of Wu State.

Tang Wang hoped that Wu Guo would spare Tang Guo after seeing Ji Tu's suicide note and corpse.The king of Tang was anxiously waiting to come to the state of Wu to answer. The [-] troops of the state of Wu had gathered at the border of Tang and Wu, and the state of Zhao had also issued a call for crusade. With the approach of the armies of two powerful countries, the Tang Kingdom is about to be destroyed.

"The assassination of Mr. Ming and Prince Zhao has nothing to do with Gu, but Zhao and Wu countries use this as an excuse to attack! Now that Wu's army is overwhelming, Zhao's soldiers are coming soon. Dear friends, come up with a countermeasure to solve the crisis." General Tang Wang The ministers convened together to discuss countermeasures.

All the officials of the Tang royal family looked at each other, and everyone was silent after looking at each other.

Seeing the silence of all the officials, the king of Tang couldn't help but was so angry that he went straight to the case: "The enemy is in front of me, are you all helpless? Then if Zhao and Wu conquer Tang, don't you think that you can still have the fief? Zhao has long since abolished it. Most of the fiefdoms and the ministers of the court of the King of Wu were also deprived of the fiefdoms, do you think that if you serve in Zhao and Wu, you can still keep your property?"

As soon as King Tang's words fell, the ministers of the royal court began to commotion.

After a while, Tang Wang's favorite minister took the lead to speak out: "Your Majesty, since the war between Zhao Wu and our country is inevitable, Your Majesty should recruit soldiers and horses from all over the country to prepare for the war, and fight Zhao Wu to the death."

The Tang dynasty's own favorites rolled their eyes. When Ji Tu committed suicide, the king of Tang had already prepared both hands. The conscription order had been issued to various places, but it had been more than ten days, and the number of soldiers summoned by Wang Duqin was no more than [-]. How can this strength be the opponent of Wu and Zhao.

"Your Majesty, I feel that I can form an alliance with neighboring countries to fight against Zhao Wu." An elderly courtier suggested.

"Neighboring country? Qilu is the only one that can join the alliance. Which country should we form an alliance with?" The neighboring countries of Tang State were Wei, Wu, Qi, and Lu. After Zhao State annexed Wei State, the neighboring countries of Tang State It became Zhao, Wu, Qi, and Lu.

The sworn enemies of Qilu and Lu have been fighting for more than ten years, and they have no hope of sitting together peacefully. If Tang Guo casually forms an alliance with one of these two countries, it will offend the other.

"Now that the Tang State is in critical condition, an alliance with one of Qilu and Lu alone cannot resist Zhao and Wu. Only the Three Kingdoms Alliance can resist Zhao and Wu together. Only then can we hope to avoid the country's subjugation." There is no certainty of victory in the country's offensive, but compared to fighting alone or forming an alliance with only one country, Tang has the best hope of avoiding subjugation.

"Is there any love minister who can persuade Qilu and Lu to stop their disputes and form an alliance with our country?" Tang Wang looked at his courtiers with full expectation, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance gave him hope.

After the king of Tang asked, the royal court was silent, and the elderly courtier who made the suggestion stepped forward to take orders. "Veteran is willing to go on an envoy to Qilu and Lu to persuade the kings of the two countries to form an alliance with our country."

"Okay! You set off quickly, and try to get Wu's soldiers to move in for reinforcements before the invasion!" Tang Wang urged the old courtier's hand, almost shaking the old courtier's skeleton.

"No! I'm leaving now!" Tang Guo veteran embarked on the journey with Tang Wang's letter of alliance.

It takes four or five days to travel from the capital of Tang to King Lu, and the same time from Lu to King Qi. Even if the veterans of Tang succeed in seeking an alliance with the kings of Qi and Lu, it will take half a month to go back and forth at the fastest, while Qi and Lu Immediately send troops to help, and it will take a month at the fastest to get it done.After the veteran was sent out as an envoy, the king of Tang prayed every day, hoping that the two countries of Wu and Zhao could wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang state before launching an offensive.

The king of Tang did not find the right god when he prayed, and the old minister had only set out for three days before Chu Chaohui, the general of the state of Wu, arrived at the northeast border of the state of Wu by boat, and ordered the army of the state of Wu to cross the border of the state of Tang and Wu and attack the state of Tang in three ways.

One side, led by Wei Qing, marched into the west side of the Tang State, and the other side, led by Ma Ren, took a boat along the big river and went straight to the capital of the king of Tang. The capital of the king of Tang was on the side of the river.The other route was led by Zhou Cheng, who marched towards the east of the Tang State and robbed the land of Tang State's salt production.Chu Chaohui is in command in Northwest County.

When Wu Guo's soldiers attacked Tang, Zhao Xuan had already hurriedly set off from King Zhao's capital with [-] soldiers.

"Urgent report from the Eastern Front! The latest progress of Wu Jun!" The spies panted and handed over the secret letter. After reporting the content, he fell to the ground and fell unconscious. In order to send the information as quickly as possible, the spies changed countless horses along the way, day and night. Mercedes-Benz, people are exhausted to the extreme.The left and right guards hurriedly transported the spies away on stretchers.

"Wu Guo's soldiers and horses took action three days ago?" Zhao Xuan opened the secret letter and read it anxiously. He only brought a small half of food, grass and military supplies, and he was still behind the Wu army's action.

"Your Highness, the Wu army must have fought against the Tang army now. It will take four or five days for our soldiers to reach the border of the Tang country. In this way, it will be seven or eight days behind the Wu army. Hey! Resist the Wu army's attack."

Bo Yao was also anxious. Four years ago, Zhao Guo was able to destroy Wei in half a month. If Tang Guo was as vulnerable as Wei Guo, in seven or eight days, Wu Jun, whose strength was not inferior to Zhao Guo, would capture many places. Devour most of the cake.

"Bo Yao! Pass down the order, [-] auxiliary soldiers will stay behind to carry heavy supplies and supplies, and [-] elite soldiers will carry three days of dry food each to advance at a faster speed!" Zhao Xuan ordered decisively.

Of the [-] troops led by Zhao Xuan, only [-] were able to fight on the battlefield, and the other [-] were not trained soldiers, but men recruited temporarily. These men were farmers. After becoming auxiliary soldiers, their main task was to carry supplies and baggage.

"Your Highness, where can we go to raise food and grass when the three-day dry ration is used up?" Boyao hesitated, the three-day rapid march could reach the border of Tang country at most, and the soldiers only brought three days of dry ration, and they would run out of food when they reached the border of Tang country.The small city of the original Wei State that was handed over to the Tang State could not afford food and drink for [-] troops.

Zhao Xuan's expression was indifferent: "When the army enters the Tang country, they can get food on the spot."

Bo Yaoru was enlightened, and he clasped his fists to accept the order: "This minister will deliver His Highness's order now!"

Boyao realized that Zhao Xuan wanted to learn how the northern nomads went south to rob.The Rong people went to the middle reaches of the river to rob. When they went south, they only prepared one-way dry food. When they entered the place where the Qin people lived, the Rong people plundered wantonly. property.

The Rong people traveled quickly to the south, but the return journey was slow, because when they returned, their horses were loaded with too much money and supplies, so they could only walk slowly.

Zhao Xuan will not let the Zhao army treat the people of the Tang state like the soldiers robbing them. He only intends to collect enough military rations from the people of the Tang state. than, it is insignificant.

After Boyao conveyed Zhao Xuan's order, Zhao's [-] troops stood still for an hour, and the auxiliary soldiers were separated to carry supplies.After the whole army abandoned their luggage, the speed was indeed one-third faster.

After marching for two days, it seemed that he would reach the border of Tang State in one day, but an urgent message from King Zhao's [-] Li was sent from the capital of King Zhao.
