History’s Strongest Husband

The new king of Chu sat down in the pavilion and did not speak.

For the benefit of the state of Chu, he could come to meet Shen Lang for a secret talk, but it would be too difficult for him to make him and Shen Lang happy.

After all, the man in front of him captured his capital and burned the palace of Chu State.

"I don't have much time, I have to go back before dawn." King Xin Chu said.

Shen Lang said: "Your Majesty, the world is about to change."

The new King of Chu is silent, the world has changed.

"His Majesty the Emperor is about to exert his hegemony, and the pace of unifying the world has already begun." Shen Lang said: "All of us thought that he would put the transition of imperial power in the first place, but we didn't expect him to be so ambitious. He has been in power for more than forty years , not only eliminated His Majesty Jiang Li, but also completed the New Deal, and now he wants to unify the world, and then hand over a complete Great Yan Dynasty to the Crown Prince."

King Xin Chu said: "First, you don't have to tell me that the culprit who murdered my father is His Majesty the Emperor."

Shen Lang nodded, of course it goes without saying that any high-ranking person knows, and His Majesty the Emperor does not shy away from others knowing.

"Secondly, I know that Ning Zheng's rise to power is more in the interests of Chu."

Ning Qi is cunning and changeable, and wanting to join forces with him is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.

Now that Ning Qi's route is clear, he hugs His Majesty's thigh tightly. After inheriting the throne, he may become the second person to be conferred the title of Prince of the Great Yan Empire.

Not only that, but he will also go south to expand the territory in the name of the Great Yan Empire with great interest.

In short, Ning Qi may oppose the Great Yan Empire. But he will definitely wait until the Jin Kingdom and the Xingan Kingdom are rebelled together before he will act.

The early bird lets others do it, he only intends to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

On the contrary, after Ning Zheng came to power, he would definitely fight against the encroachment of the Great Yan Empire with all his strength.

For the new King of Chu, of course it is the King of Yue who resists the emperor who is in the best interests of Chu.

The new king of Chu continued: "But I am not Ning Zheng, and I will not fight against His Majesty the Emperor. My path is similar to that of Ning Qi."

Hehehe!

Shen Lang said: "So there are still too many smart people in this world, and His Majesty's hegemony has begun to encroach on the world. But everyone wants to reap the power of a fisherman, and everyone wants to let others be the leader."

The new king of Chu acquiesced.

"However, the result of this is to be defeated one by one." Shen Lang said: "The last family is annexed by the Great Yan Empire."

The new King of Chu remained silent.

Who doesn't understand the truth? But what's the use?

Shen Lang couldn't understand it any better.

At that time when Qin State ruled the world, didn't the six countries know that they should unite and fight against Qin State together?

The results of it?

In Su Xun's "Theory of the Six Kingdoms", it is clearly stated: the destruction of the six kingdoms, the disadvantage is not due to soldiers, if the war is not good, the disadvantage lies in bribing Qin.

Now in the entire Great Yan Dynasty, there are also six great kingdoms.

Yue, Chu, Qian, Jin, Wu, Dayong.

Wu, the smallest of the six great states, is about 430,000 square kilometers.

The largest area of ​​the Great Rong Khanate is more than three million square kilometers, but this is a northern nomadic kingdom with a vast land and few people.

The most powerful country is the Kingdom of Jin, with an area of ​​more than 1.5 million square kilometers and a population of more than 35 million.

Just the Xingan Kingdom after being dismembered, still covers more than one million square kilometers and has a population of more than 20 million.

The combined area of ​​the six countries is even larger than that of the Great Yan Empire.

However, the total population of the six countries is not as good as that of the Great Yan Empire, nor is their national strength.

Therefore, the situation faced by the six countries is even worse and more hopeless than that of the six countries during the Warring States Period.

After the completion of the New Deal, the Great Yan Empire was so powerful that it was almost impossible to resist.

Therefore, the princes and kings resisted in their hearts, but compromised in their actions.

"Liang Guo is the loyal dog of the Great Yan Empire, so it will be the first to be tamed." Shen Lang said: "But Liang Guo is only a principality after all, not a kingdom. Among the six kingdoms, besides Ning Qi, who else would kneel down first? ,

How about turning your vassal state into a vassal state? "

The new king of Chu did not speak.

Today, there is not a single fuel-efficient lamp in the six kingdoms.

Although the young King Wu lost the last battle and temporarily withdrew in this battle, it seemed that he had made no achievements. However, in fact, this King Wu is not simple, and he can be regarded as a majestic and heroic master.

Ying Guang of Xingan Kingdom is the most despicable person.

He was originally an abandoned baby, who was picked up and raised by the Daqian King as his adopted son. As His Majesty Jiang Li's most trusted brother-in-law, the supreme commander of the Dagan Kingdom, he actually betrayed the Jiang family at a critical moment and surrendered to Dayan empire, and set himself up as king.

On the surface, Ying Guang and Dayan Empire are the closest.

But this man is very treacherous, almost the most difficult king to tame.

Shen Lang said: "Among the six kingdoms, there will not be an easy compromise to kneel down, except Ning Qi!"

Then, Shen Lang placed the six cards on the table.

Push down the first piece, and the next five pieces will all fall down.

The dono effect.

Shen Lang said: "It is precisely because of Ning Qi's compromise that it may trigger an avalanche effect, and then the second, third, and finally the six kingdoms all compromised and were annexed by the Great Yan Empire. His Majesty the King of Chu should appreciate Yue's new policy. It is clear. Su Nan, as the leader of the veteran nobles, unconditionally surrendered in the face of the Yue King's new policy, causing all the veteran nobles to be leaderless and almost defeated by the Yue King."

Of course, this is a long story, Su Nan is too ambitious, and he doesn't focus on fighting the New Deal at all.

"Ning Qi's compromise with His Majesty the Emperor has more consequences than imagined." Shen Lang said: "Originally, the Six Kingdoms were still a complete wooden barrel. After Ning Qi compromised, it was equivalent to a piece of the wooden barrel being removed. The wooden barrel All the water inside poured out. This is like a strong dam. After a hole is dug, it is likely to collapse completely. It is precisely because of this that His Majesty the Emperor risked the world to save Ning Qi. Fate, and poured filthy water on the head of the first king of Chu, and was ridiculed by the world after his death."

Speaking of this, the new King Chu's forehead twitched.

This is the biggest pain in his heart.

His majesty's statement dealt a blow to Chu State even more than the burning of the royal palace.

The first king of Chu was murdered. Not only could he not get the truth, but he would also be involved in a scandal that his son murdered his father, and he would also be given a green hat for the first king of Chu.

Shen Lang said: "I have never dared to dream of the six kingdoms uniting to fight against the Great Yan Empire. But... at least the six kings of the world can abide by their hearts, and don't be the first to kneel down, and don't cause an avalanche effect."

"Your Majesty the King of Chu, if Ning Qi succeeds to the throne and becomes the Prince of Yue of the Great Yan Empire, and the emperor sends a chancellor to the Shangshutai of Yue State, which country will it be next?"

The new king of Chu thought for a while and said, "Wu, or Chu."

Pick the persimmon softly.

In the current situation, Chu State is even weaker than Wu State.

In this battle, the people of Chu State shed blood, the capital of the country and the battlefield of Tianxi Province, the casualties reached nearly 200,000 troops.

Moreover, the royal palace was burned, and I don't know how long it will take to recuperate to restore national strength.

Shen Lang said: "So the next target is your turn, where will you go? To resist? Or to kneel?"

The new king of Chu closed his eyes.

Once you kneel down, there is no chance to stand up again.

He will change from the king of Chu to the prince of Chu in the empire, and then the prime minister of Chu will also be dispatched by the Dayan Empire.

King Xin Chu said: "But if Ningzheng is in power, wouldn't His Majesty the Emperor be the first to find me?"

Shen Lang said: "No! There is a saying that is good, the instigator has no heirs. This kind of thing requires the kings of the world to ask His Majesty to change the vassal state into a vassal state. His Majesty the Emperor himself cannot take the initiative to say this. Ning Qi If we don't start this way, even if the emperor uses strong means to force the kings to kneel down and compromise, it will only be a bordering country."

The new king of Chu nodded, acknowledging that what Shen Lang said made sense.

When the Great Yan Empire was about to annex the world, if it could not be accomplished by political means, it would choose military means.

And once you choose to use military means, you will fall into the lower class, and the price will be relatively high.

Moreover, if you want to use force to attack, you will of course choose a country bordering the Great Yan Empire.

Among the six kingdoms, Chu and Yue were the only ones that did not fully border on the Yan Empire.

Shen Lang said: "Your Majesty King Chu, think about it, once you become the Prince Chu of the empire, you won't even be able to call your majesty, but you will become your highness."

The new king of Chu twitched again.

"Your Majesty the King of Chu, it is not only beneficial to you to let His Highness Ning Zheng take the position, it is even related to the fate of Chu." Shen Lang said: "If you live more directly, His Highness Ning Zheng is firm and firm, rather than surrender. Maybe if you take one step carefully, he will become the vanguard against the annexation of the Great Yan Empire, isn't this what you dream of?"

King Xin Chu said: "Resist the Great Yan Empire? Then the Yue Kingdom will be destroyed in less than two months."

Shen Lang said: "Even if the Yue Kingdom is destroyed, with His Royal Highness Ning Zheng's character, it is very likely that he will retreat into the sand barbarians to establish a regime in exile and continue to fight. This time I led an army to raid the capital of King Chu, and half of the troops came from Jinjun. King Chu Your Majesty, Ning Qi is cunning and changeable. If you want to form an alliance, it is more appropriate to choose His Highness Ning Zheng, or someone like Jin Jun."

The new king of Chu said: "Shen Lang, you and Ning Zheng occupied my capital and burned my palace. If Ning Zheng can't be killed, how can I explain to the people of Chu State?"

Shen Lang was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, there is no law of the two in the world, and there must be losses if you gain. If you defeat us in this battle, or even behead Ning Zheng, of course your reputation in Chu State will increase. But Can this benefit offset the loss caused by Ning Qi's supremacy? If Ning Zheng is in power, you will lose your immediate reputation, but you will gain future benefits. Do you choose to have a good time now, or choose the safety of Chu in the future?"

The new king of Chu said: "The future benefits are too illusory, and the immediate benefits are real."

Shen Lang said: "Your Majesty Chu, I have to correct your opinion. I came to negotiate with you for the future, not for the present, and not to ask you to spare me and Ning Zheng. To be honest, we don't need you Forgive me. We have nothing to fear from your two hundred thousand troops."

The King of Chu narrowed his eyes and said, "Shen Lang, you are a little bit outspoken."

Shen Lang said: "Your Majesty the King of Chu, I know that given the current situation, you must fight this battle. Even if you don't fight yourself, your generals and army will fight too. It will be a shame to kill us all. , is the idea of ​​the 200,000 troops under your command. So what I'm talking about is only after the war. I never tried to avoid this first battle. But after this first battle, if you hit your head and blood Liu, then King Chu may wish to consider my suggestion."

"What suggestion?" King Chu asked.

Shen Lang said: "You signed an armistice agreement with His Highness Ning Zheng."

King Xin Chu said: "I have already signed with Ning Qi."

Shen Lang said: "The armistice agreement was a bit humiliating and humiliating. It actually allowed me to cede two hundred miles of territory from the Yue Kingdom, and also deceived the people of the Yue Kingdom. So I want you to sign a new armistice agreement with His Highness Ning Zheng and Ning Qi. The one that was made is completely invalidated, and this time the re-signed contract will not be cut off from our Yue Kingdom."

The new king of Chu said sharply: "It's too much to deceive people, it's impossible."

Shen Lang said: "But in exchange, we are willing to pay a sum of money for you to rebuild the palace."

King Xin Chu asked, "How much?"

Shen Lang said: "Two million gold coins, of course, are not cash, but goods of equivalent value."

There is a lot of room for this.

The equivalent of two million gold coins may really be exchanged for two million gold coins on the Chu side.

But on Shen Lang's side, the cost may not be two to two hundred thousand gold coins.

Shen Lang said: "It is guaranteed to be hard currency, the kind that can be exchanged for gold coins almost directly. We plan to pay for the two million gold coins in five years."

Then Shen Lang continued: "We will not only support you with goods worth two million gold coins for free, but we will also invest in Chu State in the name of Tiandaohui. The investment will exceed five million gold coins within five years."

The new king of Chu continued to remain silent.

Shen Lang said: "His Majesty King Chu, your palace needs to be rebuilt, right? Look at my jade brick."

Shen Lang took out a tile that didn't exist in this world.

The new king of Chu took a look, and it was as smooth as jade, with gorgeous patterns on the key.

Shen Lang said: "It's more gorgeous and beautiful than white marble, and it's also richer than marble. How about using it to build some of the outer walls of the palace when you rebuild the palace? And we can supply this kind of jade bricks unconditionally, allowing you to rebuild the palace with half the price of white marble , included in the list of two million gold coins for free support. But in exchange, we hope that this kind of jade brick can be sold publicly in Chu State."

Then Shen Lang said: "What we can provide is not only jade bricks, but also a very magical building material, which allows you to completely abandon wood, which not only saves costs, but also can withstand fires. Not only that, but also can save you The efficiency of building the palace has increased several times, and a brand new palace can even be built within a year or two."

Then, Shen Lang took out another crystal-clear glass and said: "Your palace, you can completely abandon the window paper, and replace all of them with our glass, which is noble and generous, bright and warm, and never needs to be replaced. What your palace needs The glass is all on our support list. Of course, in exchange, we also hope to sell this transparent jade in Chu State.”

The new king of Chu could hardly bear the desire to smash the jade brick in his hand.

In the name of rebuilding the royal palace, you want to open up the market in our country of Chu, and even let Tiandaohui enter Chu country wantonly to suppress Yinyuanhui.

You, Shen Lang, are too smart in your calculations. You obviously support me unconditionally in building the palace, but in fact you want to make a fortune.

Once King Chu and Ning Zheng signed a new armistice agreement.

What a slap in the face to Ning Qi?

You, Ning Qi, ceded 200 miles of land, forfeited your power and humiliated the country.

However, the armistice agreement signed by His Highness Ningzheng did not give up an inch of land and maintained the territorial integrity of the Yue Kingdom.

As for the compensation of two million gold coins to the King of Chu, it was in the name of the Tiandao Society and had nothing to do with the Yue Kingdom.

Then there are two choices before King Chu.

If you want two million gold coins, you still need two hundred miles of land.

In terms of long-term benefits, of course, the land of two hundred miles is more useful.

Although the 200 miles of land ceded by the Yue State this time are actually military fortresses, they can only bring military initiative, not much food production, and no taxation.

But the Tsar also sold Alaska for 7.2 million US dollars, a full 1.52 million square kilometers.

The new King of Chu looked at Shen Lang and said: "You are right in many things, but the people of Chu State are looking at me, and the 200,000 troops are looking at me. This battle is already imminent and has to be waged. So no matter what? Fight first Let's talk after this battle."

Shen Lang said: "OK!"

The new King of Chu said: "Shen Lang, there is one more point. Even if I can think long-term, the soldiers under my command don't care about the long-term. They just want a national humiliation and kill you all, so this battle Don't even think about us being merciful. If you are wiped out, don't blame me."

Shen Lang said: "I understand! I have already said that I came to negotiate with you for the future, not for the present. I have no intention of asking you to spare us at all. Your 200,000 troops, we have nothing to fear! "

The king of Chu was a little irritated.

You, Shen Lang, are too talkative.

How many troops do you have in your hands, only nine thousand.

What is the perimeter of the city wall of Chu King's Capital? More than fifty miles.

In other words, less than 200 people defended the city wall of one mile.

How do you keep it so sparse?

With such a sparse defensive formation, the power of Arrow Rain could not be displayed at all.

Not to mention that once our army attacks the capital, hundreds of thousands of people in the city will stand up and attack you from behind.

At that time, only 9,000 of you will be attacked from inside and outside, and you will surely die!

King Xin Chu said: "It doesn't matter whether it's a secret alliance or a new armistice agreement. Let's finish this battle first. The arrow is on the string and we have to go."

Shen Lang said: "Understood, only the strong are qualified to negotiate and form alliances! Your Majesty the King of Chu, I will bid you farewell! I am going to prepare for the war. Welcome your 200,000 troops to attack."

Then, Shen Lang and Li Qianqiu left and returned to the capital of King Chu as quickly as possible.

The new king of Chu also returned to the barracks without anyone noticing.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to negotiate with Shen Lang?" Li Xuanqi asked.

The king of Chu said: "This battle must be fought, and the soldiers will definitely sacrifice their lives. If I don't fight, I am not worthy of being king, and I will be cast aside by the soldiers. Shen Lang wants to negotiate with me and cooperate, and wants me to cooperate with you." Ningzheng re-signed the armistice agreement, let's talk about it after surviving!"

………………

the next day!

King Chu's 200,000 troops marched mightily towards the capital of King Chu.

The marching speed was even faster.

Because these 200,000 soldiers are full of blood, just for revenge, for the national humiliation.

"Revenge and hatred, a snow of national humiliation!"

"Revenge and hatred, a snow of national humiliation!"

The eyes of the entire Chu Kingdom and the entire world once again focused on Shen Lang and Ning Zheng.

This pair of lunatics is not right to retreat now.

He even tried to use 9,000 troops to resist the 200,000 troops of King Chu.

It sounds horrific.

………………

In the capital of King Chu!

The 200,000 troops of the King of Chu are only about three hundred miles away from the King of Chu.

"Under normal circumstances, we will definitely not be able to hold it." Kutouhuan said: "The 200,000 troops under King Chu's command are absolutely front-line elites, and their morale is high, and they are not afraid of death. The key is that the city walls of the capital of King Chu are too It has grown longer, more than fifty miles, and there can only be one hundred and eighty soldiers on each city wall. This way, the advantage of Arrow Rain is completely lost. Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of Chu people behind us, and we were pretty well-behaved before. , but when the king of Chu attacked the city, they would definitely sneak up from behind. There were too many ants and they killed elephants, so under normal circumstances, we would lose this battle, and we would be completely submerged, or even wiped out.”

Shen Lang nodded and said, "So I announce two decisions!"

"First, completely abandon the outer wall of the capital of King Chu, and retreat to the inner city. The inner city wall is only ten miles in circumference, and there are eight or nine hundred people defending each mile of the city wall, which is more than enough. The advantage of Arrow Rain can be completely The most important thing is that the inner city is full of residential buildings, and the king of Chu’s 200,000 army cannot deploy it at all, and the advantage of military strength will be completely weakened.”

"Second, drive out all the people in the inner city. Anyone who resists will be killed. In this way, there will be no enemies behind us."

"Of course, the 200,000 troops of the King of Chu are still three hundred miles away from us at this time, and there is still time to evacuate. It's just that this place is thousands of miles away from the Yue Kingdom. It's not peaceful and will deal with endless attacks."

"If the king of Chu is defeated in this battle and forced to sign an armistice agreement with His Highness Ning Zheng, then Ning Qi's share will be completely invalidated, because ceding two hundred miles is considered a loss of power and humiliation to the country, which will have a huge blow to Ning Qi's reputation , his miraculous victory in Tianxi Province will be completely wiped out."

"His Royal Highness Ning Zheng, whether to fight this battle or not? It is up to you to decide whether to take this risk."

Ning Zheng said directly: "Fight!"

………………

Following Ning Zheng's order.

The king of Chu staged a tragic scene.

The nine thousand army under Shen Lang abandoned the outer city wall and retreated to the inner city.

Then, the expulsion of the inner city people began.

The total population in the inner city does not exceed 50,000, but all of them are either rich or expensive.

These people cherish their lives very much, but they are unwilling to give up their gorgeous mansions and their family business.

So, the conflict broke out.

After Shen Lang's army entered the King's Capital of Chu, they were very restrained and almost never harmed the people here.

but now……

Go straight to the killing ring.

Everyone in the inner city, whether they are princes or nobles, or wealthy businessmen, all leave for me.

Completely empty the entire inner city.

However, the food is left for me.

When the time is up, all those who have not left will be killed!

Then……

Shen Lang ordered to kill two dukes and three marquises, all of whom were members of the royal family of Chu.

Hundreds of heads fell to the ground.

Blood stained the ground red.

All the people in the inner city left crying.

In just one day, the inner city was completely emptied.

Shen Lang's army no longer has to worry about being attacked in the back.

However, this is also a dead end.

Because they abandoned the outer city wall, they were completely surrounded and cut off their way of retreat.

……………………

King Chu's 200,000 troops are getting closer and closer.

Three hundred miles, two hundred miles, one hundred miles!

Fifty miles!

Thirty miles!

Five days later!

The army of the king of Chu approached the city.

Although he had received the news, King Chu was completely shocked when he saw the empty outer city wall.

This Shen Lang and Ning Zheng are really crazy.

Retreating to the inner city is certainly beneficial for defense, but it also completely cuts off the way out.

After Ning Qi is forced into a desperate situation, a miracle will erupt.

As for Ning Zheng and Shen Lang, they created miracles crazily.

Such a strong determination and will?

While King Chu was shocked, he also felt admiration.

If you want to form an alliance, such an ally is really reassuring, because he has an iron will and will not easily change his position.

Ning Zheng, Shen Lang, I admire you very much.

But I also have no choice.

In this battle, I must do my best.

If you are defeated, then everything will be over.

But if you can really perform miracles, my army will be bloodied.

Well... we can talk.

Admiration is admiration, but don't want me to show mercy.

"The army enters the city!"

Following the order of the King of Chu, an army of 200,000 troops marched into the outer city of the capital.

It took three full days.

An army of 200,000 deployed an attacking position in the outer city, completely encircling Shen Lang's army in the inner city.

………………

Three days later!

The king of Chu ordered: "The army will attack the city!"

Immediately, an army of 80,000 attacked the inner city frantically from the four city walls in the southeast, northwest!

This battle with the most disparity in strength broke out completely.

Ning Zheng and Shen Lang's 9,000 troops are fighting against the King of Chu's 200,000 first-line elite!

No matter what the result is, it is destined to shock the world!
