Chapter 175 The King Meets the King(1/2)
The road leading to Yubi City is rugged and surrounded by black soil. Even the scattered weeds are gone. The ashes blend into the earth and not a single blade of grass grows.
Lu Yao no longer sat in the car, mounted a horse, and advanced slowly surrounded by many knights.
"At the moment, within the pseudo-week, there is no peace."
"They also need peace."
Lu Yao looked at Liu Taozi who was standing aside, "Do you know about the Duke of Jin from the Puppet Zhou Dynasty?"
"I don't know."
Lu Yao smiled and nodded, "That's right, this matter of the Pseudo-Chou Dynasty is not allowed to be discussed privately in Daqi. I will tell you about it. Don't let these words pass into other people's mouths."
"only."
"At the beginning, Yu Wentai competed with King Gao for supremacy. One was in the west and the other was in the east. The great Wei was divided into two. King Gao died, and then the younger King Gao succeeded to the throne. The younger King Gao was soon killed by a cook, and Emperor Wenxuan succeeded Yuwen.
Tai thought he had no strong enemies and led his troops to invade, but was attacked by Emperor Wenxuan, who shouted: Is King Gao still there?"
"Well, when he first came to the throne, Emperor Wenxuan was not like he was later. He fought bravely, was invincible, and was in awe of all his enemies."
"Let's talk about Yuwentai. Four years ago, he was seriously ill. Before his death, he felt that his children were very young, so he asked his nephew Yuwenhu to assist in government affairs."
"Yu Wenhu first forced his lord Chan to surrender to Yuwen Tai's son Yuwen Jue, changed the name of Wei to Zhou, and then dominated the government. Generals Zhao Gui, Dugu Xin and others refused to accept and were killed by him. He then poisoned Yu Wen Jue and established Yu Wen Hu.
Yu is the king of heaven."
"This year, Yu Wenhu took action again. He poisoned Yu Wenyu's food, killed his emperor, and made Yu Wenyong the new emperor."
"At present, in the Puppet Zhou Dynasty, the little emperor's words are not counted, but the words of Duke Yu Wenhu of Jin are the most truthful."
Liu Taozi had not yet spoken, but Chu Jiande said: "I have heard that the Puppet Zhou Dynasty was very chaotic. I never thought that the chaos would reach such an extent that several emperors were killed in succession. No wonder you said that they also need peace.
Woolen cloth."
Lu Yao nodded, "Yes, not to mention that when King Gao went on an expedition, he captured Yu Wenhu's mother alive."
"Your Majesty has given permission to return Yuwenhu's mother this time, so that we can live in harmony with the Puppet Zhou Dynasty. So I said there will be no risk in this trip. Yuwenhu's biological mother is here. Let's discuss the return. If he returns
If he dares to attack us, he is violating the ethics and morals of the world, and he has never been so crazy and crazy."
Kou Liu didn't know what he thought of, he pursed his lips and looked away.
It seems that although this man committed regicide, he is still not as good as our Emperor Wenxuan.
Lu Yao originally wanted to continue talking, but in the distance there was a billow of dust, and a group of knights rushed towards him. They were fully armed, and the leader was holding a big flag, full of murderous intent.
Lu Yao immediately ordered: "Stop, don't conflict with them!"
Liu Taozi gave the order, and everyone stopped, and the knights came straight towards them, the distance between the two sides getting closer and closer, and they did not hide the malice in their eyes at all.
Lu Yao's face was calm, as if he didn't see the oncoming army at all.
Liu Taozi slowly drew out his sword.
"Shua~~"
The knights seemed to have received the military order, they raised their bows one after another, loaded the arrows, and then drew their bows.
At this moment, the opponent's knight who was at the forefront quickly reined in his horse and shouted loudly. The knights behind him immediately separated, no longer charging head-on, but passed by Lu Yao and others, and quickly separated them.
People surrounded him.
Lu Yao hurriedly said: "Don't show your cowardice! Put away your weapons! Put away your weapons!"
Liu Taozi was unmoved and just looked at the leading knight fiercely.
The knight looked at Liu Taozi for a moment, then looked at Lu Yao, "I heard that the Qi envoy was coming, and I was ordered to come to greet him."
"If you come with good intentions, why are you pointing bows and arrows at us?"
Lu Yao frowned, "If I was ordered to come to greet you, how could I interfere with the battle?!"
"Could it be that Zhou people are so polite?"
The knight laughed, and he saluted Lu Yao casually, "It's just that the noise was a little louder, and I didn't expect it to scare the envoy. No wonder, no wonder, please follow us to the big tent outside the city!"
"Your country is really showing great momentum in the face of the well-intentioned envoys. It doesn't look like you are dying on the battlefield at all."
Lu Yao spoke sarcastically.
The knight ignored him and just waved his hand. The knights behind him all moved out of the way. He signaled Lu Yao to follow him and cleared the way in front of him.
Lu Yao and his party walked among the knights.
The armor and weapons of these Zhou knights seemed to be no different from those of the Qi people. However, at this moment, their eyes looked at Lu Yao and others with particularly fierce eyes, as if they would pounce on them and kill them in the next moment.
Lu Yao said to Liu Taozi in a low voice: "It's just a dispute of words. They wouldn't dare to take action if we don't do it."
Liu Taozi still didn't reply.
Lu Yao's face was ugly, this was what he was afraid of!!
Wei Xiaokuan had no intention of letting Qi people enter Yubi City. Even if they were envoys, he would not allow them to enter. This seemed to have become an obsession of his.
Never let a Qi person enter Yubi City.
Lu Yao and others could only look at the majestic city from a distance. No matter who they were, when they saw the Jade City, they could not help but sigh at the miraculous craftsmanship of God. How powerful it was to build such a majestic city.
The terrain, how much power is needed to defeat such a city?
For any general, just seeing this towering city from a distance will inevitably lead to some despair in his heart.
There were knights guarding them along the way, and they arrived at Wei Xiaokuan's temporary camp outside the city.
Everyone dismounted one after another, and Lu Yao, accompanied by Master Qian, strode towards the camp, with Liu Taozi and others following behind him.
There were even more Zhou soldiers in the camp, and there were soldiers standing almost everywhere that could be seen with the naked eye.
These soldiers were tall and glaring with anger, demonstrating the bravery of the Zhou Dynasty.
Someone walked out quickly.
The man had a unique goat's beard and a slightly gloomy face, but he managed to squeeze out a smile at this moment, which made him look even more hypocritical and untrustworthy.
Lu Yao was stunned. This man was too young and was obviously not Wei Xiaokuan.
When the two parties met, the man bowed and took the initiative to inform him of his identity.
"I am sent by Jin Gong, the minister's subordinate official, Yin Zhenggong, to pay homage to Bu Liugu Gong."
"It turns out to be Dr. Yin. I have admired him for a long time. I have admired him for a long time."
Lu Yao responded kindly.
There were two people standing next to each other.
The one on the left is an older man with a nice beard, elegant and easy-going, and the one on the right is a young man, tall and strange in appearance.
Doctor Yin introduced: "This is Duke Wei, the governor of Xunzhou, and this is Duke Yang, the general."
"Wei Xiaokuan pays homage to Mr. Lu."
"Yang Jian pays homage to Mr. Lu."
Lu Yao smiled and returned the greeting, but Liu Taozi's face flashed with surprise at this moment. He looked at the elegant Wei Xiaokuan, and then took a deep look at the young man.
Wei Xiaokuan and Yang Jian also looked at Liu Taozi at this moment.
Wei Xiaokuan still had a slight smile on his face. He looked at Liu Taozi with very close eyes.
Yang Jian's eyes were much colder.
Liu Taozi and Yang Jian stared at each other. Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, picking up fallen leaves and flying to the ground around them. The atmosphere instantly became much more solemn.
Lu Yao turned to look at Liu Taozi and introduced: "This is General Wu Yi Liu Jun."
"Hahaha, Liu Zhizhi and I are old acquaintances. He really likes to eat my food."
Wei Xiaokuan said with a smile at this moment.
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, then quickly calmed down, "General, you are joking. Liu Jun has never left Daqi. How has he ever eaten your food?"
Wei Xiaokuan said no more.
Doctor Yin was also a little confused at this moment, but he still smiled and took Lu Yao's hand, and the two of them walked to the main camp tent together.
Wei Xiaokuan followed closely, with Yang Jian and Liu Taozi walking on either side of him.
Only then did Wei Xiaokuan have the opportunity to talk to Liu Taozi.
"You know, if you are like this, does it mean that I am personally inviting you to submit to the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
"Didn't you say that I want you to surrender unless I personally ask for it? Can you count now?"
"It doesn't count."
"I think so. Now this is your visit, not my visit. Then let me know when you are free. I am a little bored staying here. How about I pay you a visit when you are free?"
"I'm in Wuchuan, and the general can visit me at any time."
"well."
Wei Xiaokuan said softly, but his eyes were no longer as easy-going as before, and became sharper.
"General Liu has done many great things, which are really admirable. Doctor Yin still has to discuss with Mr. Lu for a long time. General, would you like to take a walk around with me?"
"I am ordered to protect Mr. Lu here. I cannot leave."
