"But will Nanchu and Nantang form an alliance with us?" Meng Fang asked. At the beginning, they were all fighting. Now Nantang and Nanchu will choose to cooperate with Nanliang?
"They also understand that if they don't form an alliance, everyone will be lambs to be slaughtered if they go south in the future."
Xiao Jingyuan said seriously.
Her intuition told herself that Zhou Heng would definitely choose to go south.
This is just a matter of time, they just take this time to plan for themselves
After a few days, Qian Ning visited Nanchu again.
Qian Ning's purpose of coming here coincides with Xiao Jingyuan's thoughts. The two sides have reached an alliance. As long as they have reached an alliance, Nanchu's side will be much simpler.
If Nan Chu is unwilling to form an ally with them, Nan Chu will definitely worry that Nan Tang and Nan Liang will be unfavorable to him, so Nan Chu has no right to choose in this matter.
"Your Majesty, wish me a good alliance between Nantang and Nanliang forever."
Qian Ning said above the main hall, waved his hand, and presented the gift he brought from Southern Tang to Xiao Jingyuan.
"Okay, I hope there will be a permanent alliance between Nanliang and Nantang."
Just as Xiao Jingyuan finished speaking, a person hurried in from the outside.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Zhao Guo."
said the person who came in.
Everyone looked at this person one after another, thinking that there might be some problems with Zhao Guo.
"explain."
Xiao Jingyuan said.
"There is news from Zhao Guo that Zhou Heng's soldiers are attacking Zhao Guo in two ways." The visitor told the news, and the whole hall suddenly became silent.
Everyone felt a chill down their backs, and felt a cold feeling in themselves.
Creepy, the scalp feels like being pulled.
"What's going on? Why did Zhou Heng attack Zhao?" Someone asked eagerly, wanting to know the reason behind it. Didn't Zhou Heng just destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty, why did he attack Zhao again?
"The reason is that Zhao Guo betrayed the alliance and violated the territory of Dazhou."
The visitor explained the reason.
"The State of Zhao is to blame for this." Qian Ning said lightly. At the beginning, the State of Zhao, the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Great Zhou Alliance jointly attacked the Northern Wei Dynasty.
However, Zhao Guo couldn't bear the temptation and chose to betray. The army went south to attack the border of Dazhou. Everyone knew about this. After all, Zhou Heng went north to conquer the Northern Wei Dynasty, and everyone was paying attention.
By doing so, Zhao Guo really gave Zhou Heng a reason to send troops.
"Even so, where did Zhou Heng get the courage?" Meng Fang asked incomprehensibly. They knew that Zhou Heng was very crazy in doing things, but they didn't expect to be so crazy. Zhou Heng had just wiped out the Northern Wei Dynasty. How long has it been? Zhou Heng chose to attack Zhao Guo. Isn't Zhou Heng afraid of fire in his backyard?
"Northern Wei Taishi Yan Shiwen returned to Dazhou."
Someone came to explain Meng Fang's doubts.
The reason why Zhou Heng attacked Zhao State so unscrupulously was that he was not afraid of problems in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was because the Northern Wei Dynasty had Yan Shiwen in charge. With Yan Shiwen in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Zhou Heng didn't need to worry about these things at all.
"It seems that Zhao Guo is in danger."
Xiao Jingyuan said.
The Great Zhou had a powerful army, and it was not a problem to destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty. Zhao Guo was not worth mentioning. Zhao Guo was weak, and it was only a matter of time before Zhao Guo was annexed.
"Your Majesty, our alliance is urgent. After I return to Southern Tang, I will immediately ask the Emperor to send envoys to Southern Chu. I hope that the Three Kingdoms Alliance can be reached as soon as possible, so that the southern border of Great Zhou will become an iron wall."
Qian Ning said that now that Zhou Heng is starting to destroy the second country, they must act, otherwise it will really be over.
"good."
Xiao Jingyuan agreed
Zhou Heng handed over the Northern Wei Dynasty to Yan Shiwen, Tao Xun, and Li Ke, and took the rest of the people west to attack Zhao Guo. At the same time, Jiang Ai was ordered to lead the cavalry northward, and surrounded Zhao Guo from both sides.
In less than a few days, Jiang Ai had conquered the city and entered the hinterland of Zhao State. Zhao State has a vast terrain, few mountains and rivers, and most of them are plains. It can be said that cavalry combat has been brought into full play.
"how's it going?"
Zhao Guo's court was shocked. No one expected that Zhou Heng would be so fast and did not give them any chance to react.
It took a few days to send troops, Zhou Heng? Siege the city and pull out the stronghold, and drive straight in.
"Most of the territory of my country of Zhao has fallen into the hands of Da Zhou." One said bitterly.
Zhou Heng destroyed the Northern Wei Dynasty, they felt sorry and heartbroken. If they had known that Zhou Heng could destroy the Northern Wei Dynasty, they should not have chosen to form an alliance with the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Well now, this is called stealing chickens without losing money.
"Then what should we do?"
Emperor Zhao Guo said eagerly, what should they do now.
All the officials dared not speak, and they were all helpless for a while. The Great Zhou came too suddenly, and before they had time to gather an army, Zhou Heng captured half of the territory.
The speed is so fast that I didn't expect it.
"Where is Yan Wudao?"
Everyone didn't have any suggestions, and Emperor Zhao suddenly thought of Yan Wudao.
"Your Majesty, Master Yan has been thrown into prison by you." One person said tremblingly. Yan Shiwen came to persuade Zhao Guo to help the Northern Wei Dynasty. Yan Wudao argued with reason. He felt that this was not a wise choice. They still joined the Great Zhou Alliance to conquer the Northern Wei Dynasty. , but Emperor Zhao did not listen to persuasion.
In a fit of rage, Yan Wudao was thrown into prison.
"Quick, go find Yan Wudao."
The Emperor Zhao said hurriedly.
Soon, the person looking for Yan Wudao came from the prison, with a sad face on his face, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Master Yan has passed away!" said the visitor.
Yan Wudao died the second day after he was sent to prison.
"What? I just put him in the sky prison, and didn't let him die." Emperor Zhao Guo didn't expect Yan Wudao to die. How could Yan Wudao do this.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from your lord."
The visitor handed the letter to Emperor Zhao.
The emperor hurriedly opened the letter.
"Your Majesty, my humble minister Yan Wudao has written a letter to tell you that Zhao Guo and Da Zhou form an alliance to jointly attack the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is our Zhao Guo's great plan to strengthen the country. If we can seize the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, our Zhao country will have a vast territory and ten thousand hectares of fertile land. However, the emperor listened. Slander, do not listen to the words of humble ministers, insist on forming an alliance with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and get something for nothing."
"My minister expected that after Great Zhou destroyed the Northern Wei Dynasty, he would definitely send troops to conquer our Zhao country. Zhao's army is weak, and it is by no means an enemy of Great Zhou. The country's subjugation will only happen overnight. I can't bear to see my Zhao country perish, so I take the first step. Jiuquan Under the circumstances, the humble minister kowtowed to the emperor, and the minister Yan Wudao."
The content of the letter is very simple and easy to understand at a glance.
If the Emperor of the State of Zhao had listened to Yan Wudao, the State of Zhao would not be in the situation it is today, but the Emperor of the State of Zhao did not follow Yan Wudao's proposal.
Yan Wudao had already expected the demise of the State of Zhao. Zhou Heng would definitely not let it go when he sent troops. Any peace talks or surrender would have no meaning to Zhou Heng. What Zhou Heng wanted was to destroy the country. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
