Chapter 632 Timely Rain
Yanzhou. Read М
Only two days after the Lucheng meeting, Zhao Xu got all the contents of the meeting.
In fact, Qi did not deliberately keep the news of the meeting secret, and seemed to release the news to deter him.
However, in Zhao Xu's view, this is like a threatened dog, constantly barking to give himself courage.
On the contemporary international stage, when some small countries face the threat of big countries, once they get the support of other big countries, they can't wait to publicize it to the world through the media.
The reason is the same.
"If Beidi and Dongying participate in the meeting, the territory controlled by Your Highness will be in their encirclement. This is really a ruthless move."
In the study of the palace, Xu Ke said.
The content of the meeting was what he had just sent.
"This happened." Zhao Xu frowned.
After the news of the alliance of the powerful families came, he considered the worst case scenario.
That is, he who would choose to form an alliance to fight against the current conflict with him.
After all, in the battle of the three cities in Jinhe and Henan, he once again showed his strong strength to his enemies.
This made his enemies understand that none of them could defeat him.
If he continued to grow, they would only face destruction.
So just like the six countries formed an alliance to attack Qin.
They would definitely take a gamble and launch a war against Yanzhou to try to destroy him.
"What should your highness do?" Xu Ke couldn't help but worry about the future of Yanzhou.
Seeing this, Zhao Xu smiled softly, "Don't be so nervous. Although this alliance did bring some trouble to Yanzhou, do you think the measures taken by the king during this period are only aimed at Qi?"
Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, and his expression relaxed.
In fact, the King of Yan has unknowingly built the territory into an airtight iron barrel during this period.
Ningjindusi in the north is guarded by the Ningjin Army.
Even if Beidi dispatches another 400,000 troops, it may not be able to take down Ningjindusi.
Secondly, the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Ma family are being equipped with rifled guns.
With the Ma family, Qinguan is safe and secure, and there is even enough strength to attack Qinzhou and Yongzhou.
As for the direction of Japan, the twenty-four warships that are about to be launched are not vegetarians.
Japan should worry about its own fate.
And the three southern cities that have just been captured are equivalent to a natural moat similar to Yanguan.
It is not so easy for them to cross the natural moat to attack Yanzhou.
Just thinking about it, Feng'er suddenly came to inform that the envoy of Qi State had arrived outside Yancheng.
Asked him whether to allow the envoy of Qi State to enter the city.
"Let him come to the palace." Zhao Xu frowned.
The meeting had just ended, and Qi State sent an envoy to come. I don't know what they are thinking.
After waiting for a while, the envoy of Qi State arrived at the palace.
Liu Fu, Yang Zhen and other ministers also came with them.
They have also been paying attention to the meeting in Lucheng, and the news that the envoy of Qi State arrived in Yancheng naturally cannot be hidden from them.
One by one, they want to know the purpose of the envoy of Qi State coming to Yancheng.
Zhao Xu did not drive them away, but asked them and the envoy of Qi State to go to the meeting hall.
As the regent, he cannot be too arbitrary.
Some things still need the participation of ministers.
"Han Yang, the envoy of the Honglu Temple of Qi, meets His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."
When Zhao Xu arrived at the meeting hall, the envoy of Qi bowed.
"No need to be polite." Zhao Xu sat down in the main seat and asked directly: "After that, what does Han Zheng want to say to this king?"
At the moment, the Dasong court is in Yanzhou, and he will not recognize the emperor status of Han Zheng and other traitors.
Moreover, he saw a trace of pride in the eyes of the envoy of Qi.
He felt that there was no need to give any good color.
Because the next envoy of Qi might not have good words.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince of Yan must have heard the news of the Lucheng Alliance. Soon, our Qi will form an alliance with Nanliang, Jinling Court, Wu, Nanping, and Dongying and Beidi will also participate." Han Yang raised his head with a proud look.
"Then what?" Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes.
He had roughly guessed Han Zheng's intention.
"Is Your Highness still planning to fight against the enemy with an egg?" Han Yang looked at Zhao Xu, "His Majesty said that if Your Highness returns to the right path, pays tribute to Qi, hands over the weapons and crafts, and cuts down the troops, He is willing to make Your Highness the king of Qi with a different surname and continue to rule Yanzhou, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Zhao Xu remained calm.
"Otherwise, my army of seven countries will eventually flatten Yanzhou." Han Yang shouted, pointing to the sky.
"Hahaha..."
Suddenly, a burst of laughter broke out in the meeting hall.
Liu Fu, Yang Zhen and other ministers laughed so hard that they fell backwards, as if they were listening to a joke.
Zhao Xu also pursed his lips, with the corners of his mouth raised.
"What are you laughing at? This is not a joke. We are serious!" Han Yang thought that he would scare the King of Yan and his ministers.
For a moment, he was confused by this contrast.
The laughter in the meeting hall lasted for a while before it stopped.
Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly became stern, and he said: "Go back and tell Han Zheng that to me, your so-called alliance is nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs. It won't be long before I attack Lucheng, capture him alive, and make him dance for me."
"Arrogant, King Yan, you really won't cry until you see the coffin." Han Yang said with a thump.
This Lucheng meeting shocked the whole Qi State.
The haze of the loss of the three southern cities also quickly dissipated because of this incident, and what was left was just carnival.
In their view, if this meeting was successful, Qi State would be invincible.
Defeating King Yan is only a matter of time.
After all, King Yan only had a small Yanzhou, and the Ningjin Dusi and Jinzhou he captured were deserted and dilapidated.
Sizhou of the Ma family is just an ordinary small state.
Therefore, compared to their alliance, King Yan was much inferior in terms of territory and population.
And after a large number of flintlocks were equipped in their army, they could also shorten the gap with King Yan in terms of firearms.
Together with Beidi and Dongying, they will completely crush King Yan.
"Your Highness, Chen Ce, the head of the Ore Prospecting Department, wants to see you. He said he found some diatomaceous earth minerals." Just when the Qi envoy lost control of his mood, Feng'er hurried in.
"Diatomaceous earth!" Zhao Xu almost stood up from his chair when he heard this, and then his face was filled with a smile.
Looking at Han Yang who was swollen by the alliance, he said: "You said that I am arrogant, then I will let you see what true arrogance is. Go back and tell Han Zheng that if he wants to fight, then fight. I Wait for him!"
"Prince Yan, you...just wait." Han Yang's entire face turned red with shame and anger.
After that, he flicked his sleeves and turned around.
Zhao Xu sneered and ignored him.
In fact, he could have further humiliated him, but he did not do so.
Because doing so will cause the envoys he sends out in the future to suffer the same fate.
There is no need to open this hole.
After the Qi envoys left, Liu Fu, Yang Zhen and others looked serious.
They laughed just now because they couldn't stand the arrogance of the Qi envoy and deliberately humiliated him.
But they are not worried about the alliance at all. This is impossible.
At the moment, Liu Fu said: "Your Highness, this alliance will be a big trouble for Yanzhou, so we should treat it with caution."
"Before, we should have been cautious, but from now on, we don't need to think about anything, just kill them to death." Zhao Xu shouted, full of confidence.
