Chapter 112 Breaking the Covenant Throughout the winter, envoys, spies and messengers traveling between the seven countries were all conveying the same news: Zhao Zheng had torn up his alliance with Wei and was preparing food, grass and weapons, reorganizing the army, and intended to launch a war.
Where will Yong Guo fight?
No analysis is needed, this is already tacitly understood by everyone.
Korea.
South Korea is located to the east of Hangu Pass, which is the first pass that Yong Kingdom needs to break through to destroy the Six Kingdoms.
Even though South Korea is good at making crossbows that can shoot two hundred feet, and there are swords as sharp as "cattle and horses on land, and geese on water," but crossbow swords alone are obviously not enough. They also need soldiers who can resist foreign enemies.
It has a small land area and a small population. It is almost a dead end against the Yong Kingdom.
Therefore, what the courts of the Six Kingdoms are more concerned about is: After Yong Guo has conquered Korea, who will it attack?
Yan Guo thought he had nothing to worry about.
It is relatively far from Yong State, and separated by Zhao and is enough to engage in naval battles with Qi State on a daily basis, and basically do not mess with Yong State.
Qi Guo guessed it was Chu State.
Because of Jiang He, the only retainer of the Yong Kingdom, her father died in the hands of the Chu with the unusual relationship between Jiang He and Zhao Zheng, the people of Qi felt that as long as Jiang He was around, he would definitely encourage Zhao Zheng to go south to attack Chu.
This is revenge, of course.
Chu State laughed off this speculation.
The Yong Kingdom came to attack our Chu Kingdom? court death!
None of my millions of armored soldiers will agree!It would be better for Wei State to handle it.
At this time, Wei Ji, the young master of Wei State and the actual ruler of Wei State, was opening a letter with his eyebrows raised.
The letter was sent from Zhao Yuxue, the daughter of his sister, Queen Zhao, from the capital of Yong Kingdom.
She did not mention state affairs in her letter, but said that she had been entertained by the royal family of King Yong.
Zhao Yuxue also said that Zhao Zheng was extremely cold to her and did not mention the marriage certificate at all. She wondered if her uncle could help her in any way.
cold?
Wei Ji threw away the letter.
His niece is not as innocent as she appears.
What she meant was that the king of Yong was dissatisfied with her and had no intention of getting married to Zhao. He would probably attack Zhao after destroying Han.
She wanted Wei to relax his vigilance.
"No promise."
I don't know when Wei Zipei came in, picked up the letter, read it, and curled his lips.
"Speaking of it, she is also my sister's daughter. She has Jinyang as a fiefdom at a young age. Why are you thinking about how to please the king of Yong when you first arrive in Yong? It's really an embarrassment to our two countries, Wei and Zhao."
Wei Zipei was extremely disdainful. If he didn't abide by etiquette, he would have rolled his eyes in front of Wei Ji.
Wei Ji looked at his sister and smiled.
She is also a girl, and she is also fifteen or sixteen years old. Why doesn't her sister have any scheming skills? "I heard you're going out?" he asked.
"Yes," Wei Zipei suddenly became happy, "It's snowing, and I ordered people to set up a shed in the suburbs to serve porridge. Now I'm going to see if those people are working hard, and also see if anyone is pretending to be a disaster victim and freeloading."
Wei Zipei has been obsessed with these things since he joined the prime minister in disaster relief this spring.
She did a good job and now has a good reputation among the people.
"Let someone else do the porridge thing," Wei Ji stopped her and said, "Brother has a more important thing to do. Would you like to do a favor for me first?"
Wei Ji said that Zhao Zheng tore up the alliance between Han, Wei and Yong because he intercepted and protected Chen Jingshi's family, the traitors that Yong wanted to kill.
"Brother doesn't know Chen Jingshi, so something is fishy. Why don't you go to Linzi and see if Chen Jingshi's family is there?" Wei Ji said.
Wei Zipei frowned.
When she mentioned Linzi, she thought of Jiang Ben who threatened to marry her home and beat her up.
That's not a good place.
Wei Zipei thought for a moment and asked, "Why Linzi?"
"Because I heard that Jiang He is going to send Chen's family to Linzi. If this is the case, Chen will return to Linzi."
Jiang He is a person who always talks the same. Although she disagrees with Zhao Zheng this time, she will definitely protect the people she wants to protect.
Maybe Chen is not only in Linzi, but also living in Jiang He's mansion.
The person who threw the blame on his head was probably Jiang He's cheaper brother Jiang Ben.
"Sister, I don't understand," Wei Zipei shook his head, "Even if my brother is proven wrong, will Zhao Zheng take back his orders and continue to fulfill the offensive and defensive alliance?"
"No." Wei Ji said flatly, "This is just an excuse for him. Without this excuse, he might still say that I stole his sheep, his chickens, and his quilt."
If Zhao Zheng was reasonable, even the stones would Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly, and after a while he said: "Brother, I just don't want to be blamed by the people for this matter. Now there are rumors that because of my brother, Yong State will attack Wei State. The people think it is Wei State's fault, so they won't We will fight against the same enemy in the following war. Zi Pei is very popular among the people in Wei, and they will believe Zi Pei's words."
No one wants to go to war, and if they put the blame on their elder brother, he will become the target of public criticism and find it difficult to defend himself.
Wei Zipei was suddenly nervous and excited.
Ever since she was little, she has been the one protected by her never thought that one day, she would also be able to help her brother.
"Okay." Wei Zipei nodded heavily, "I will definitely go find out and clear my brother's name."
Wei Ji watched her figure go away with a soft smile in his was a little sadness in that smile.
In fact, he didn't want Wei Zipei to go to Linzi to clear his name.
Wei Ji wanted her to avoid it.
In this way, he, the only sister, can keep his innocence and life when the country is destroyed.
Although Jiang Ben is a cheater, he has a good heart.
If he died, Jiang He would let Jiang Ben protect his sister for the sake of their past friendship, right? Before the war, there was only one thing he could do for selfish reasons.
"Jiang He?"
Princess Zhao Yuxue of Jinyang, who was dressing up, sneered.
Her face was usually pretty, but now it showed a ferocious look in the bronze mirror.
"I have long heard that she is not related to His Majesty the Yong Kingdom," Zhao Yuxue said to the palace maid who came back to inquire about the news. "I said earlier that the purpose of a fake marriage was to find out the spies of the Yong Kingdom. In fact, it was not to arrest Do you have a chance to get close to Zhao Zheng? Later she ran away with her uncle, and now she became the guest of the King of Yong. She is everywhere, annoying! "
Especially when she thought of her aloof and pure uncle who was also confused by this woman, she felt inexplicably aggrieved and angry.
Wei Ji didn't even take a second look at himself, so how could he be poisoned by her?
"There should be skin-to-skin contact," the palace maid said.
"That's natural," Zhao Yuxue snorted. "We have been living together since the fake marriage. I heard that they often stay in the palace recently. An unmarried woman really has no shame. Fortunately, she has no father. Otherwise, she will be beaten to death by her father."
"Princess, do you want to meet her?"
"See you!" Zhao Yuxue picked out the most beautiful pearl flower and handed it to the maid, "The reality of Yong Kingdom may be the reality of Jiang He. How can she not see her after she is a military strategist?"
Princess Zhao Yuxue of Jinyang first handed a post to Jiang's house.
According to etiquette, Jiang He should have received the post first and then asked the steward to send back another if both parties know each other's existence, they can then make an appointment to meet at a place and time.
Posts are flying here and there, and even though I haven’t met the person yet, I have become familiar with him.
The steward came back and said that a man with a kind face and no beard collected the post, turned around and put it aside.
"What does one side mean?" Zhao Yuxue asked.
"There is a big basket on one side with hundreds of posts thrown in it." The steward answered honestly.
Zhao Yuxue almost laughed angrily.
She, a fake princess, Jiang He, dared to throw the posts sent by herself, a serious princess, with those sent by others?
"Have you made it clear who you are?" Zhao Yuxue said still unwillingly.
The steward lowered his head and responded, completely igniting the anger in Zhao Yuxue's heart.
"Send it again!"
She slapped her hand heavily on the dowry, knocking off a string of agate.
After submitting the post for the second time, Zhao Yuxue directly and unilaterally agreed on the time and place to meet.
The largest restaurant in Kyoto invited two chefs from Zhao and Qi to take charge of the dishes, which was considered as a favor to Jiang He.
She went half an hour late, intending to give the other party a blow.
Unexpectedly, the dazzlingly dressed Zhao Yuxue was sitting in the restaurant, waiting for the tea to cool down before Jiang He arrived slowly.
She walked into the hall and said to Zhao Yuxue, who was kneeling on her back, "Please get up, Princess."
Zhao Yuxue snorted coldly in his heart.
This woman is beautiful, but there is a hint of coldness in the corners of her she was wearing plain clothes, and her skin was so white that she wasn't even the least bit delicate.
How could a man fall in love with such a woman?
"Her Royal Highness Princess Anguo," Zhao Yuxue gently picked up the tea cup and sipped it slowly, smiling, "I am the host today."
The skirts of women from the State of Zhao are very long and spread out on the floor, making them look grand and elegant.
Zhao Yuxue, with her hair hanging down her shoulders, is as beautiful as a snow lotus.
"I know that His Highness is the host," Jiang He stepped aside, revealing a man in casual clothes with a cold eyebrow and an imposing manner behind him, "But Your Highness cannot sit on the throne."
