In the north of the state of Cai, Cai Tianlong led troops to resist the invasion of the state of Zheng.
Cai Tianlong's large tent of the Chinese army.
A group of Cai Tianlong's confidant generals stood on the left and right.
"Elder, why did you come here? Don't you want to guard the ancestral temple?" Cai Tianlong looked blankly at an old man in gray robes in front of him.
The old man smiled wryly, looked at the generals on the left and right and said: "General Cai Tianlong, I have no choice but to come here today, I have important matters to discuss, I don't know if I can retreat to the left and right."
The soldiers around were at a loss for a while.
"Elder, these are all close friends of mine. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it. They will never reveal a word or anything!" Cai Tianlong said very solemnly.
The elder looked at the generals on both sides, finally sighed slightly, and nodded.
Then, the elder explained in detail what happened during the time of Shangcai.
In the entire big tent, everyone was shocked.
"How, how is it possible?" Cai Tianlong exclaimed.
The big tent was in an uproar.
The Cai Guozong Temple collapsed, and there is no luck? How did King Cai get so angry
"It's not under the management of my ancestral temple, but we are not loyal to King Cai, but to the ancestors of Cai Guo, and we are only in charge of the ancestral temple!" The elder said with an ugly expression.
"Elder, please tell me what orders you have, but it doesn't matter!" Cai Tianlong said solemnly.
"There is General Cai Tianlong in the north, so although Zheng Guo came to invade, he couldn't advance an inch, but in other directions, Xi Guo and Chu's army passed by like a broken bamboo. In addition, now Cai Guo's luck is exhausted, and the hearts of the people in the world are floating. , I can’t resist it at all, Shangcai will be broken, and it won’t be long!” The elder smiled wryly.
Cai Tianlong opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but there was no way to refute. From Cai Tianlong's point of view, Cai Guo is completely finished this time. The breath is exhausted.
"Elder, can't you get lucky again?" Cai Tianlong smiled wryly.
"It's not that I can't, but that I can't afford it. Duke Huan Cai is doing it for his own benefit, regardless of the interests of Cai's country. My descendants may all die because of his stupidity!" said the elder.
A group of soldiers wanted to refute, but this person was the elder of the ancestral temple, so it was hard to say for a while, and what he said was all true.
"Then, what are the elders planning now?" Cai Tianlong said solemnly.
"Shang Cai can't keep it. The King of Cai asked me to notify all the people of Cai Guo to worship the heaven and the earth again. We have been delaying. We will sacrifice the heaven and the earth, but not now, and we will not sacrifice for him. We want to establish a new king. !” said the elder solemnly.
"What?" All the soldiers said in horror.
"In addition to offering sacrifices to the heaven and the earth, the ancestral temples of various countries have another function to supervise the king, but we can't do it. If we can't do it, then let's establish a new king. If Shangcai can't keep it, we will rebuild the capital and rebuild the country. I came here to advise you, some other elders, went to persuade other leading generals, I will wait in a different place, re-establish a new king, and rebuild Cai Guo!" The elder said solemnly.
All the soldiers opened their mouths in astonishment.
"Elder, you, this, this...!" Cai Tianlong said in shock.
"If this is not the case, Cai Guo will be completely destroyed, and there will be no Cai Guo in the world, and we will really be ashamed of our ancestors!" The elder said bitterly.
Cai Tianlong's face was uncertain for a while, and he said solemnly after a while: "Who do the elders want to be the new king?"
"Pinghou, Cailu!" the elder said solemnly.
"Him?" Cai Tianlong was slightly taken aback.
"Although Cai Lu is young, his vision is not narrow. In the past, I followed the general to arrest the prince of Chen Guo. I have studied all the way. Later, when King Cai was defeated, Cai Lu even advised him many times. When Chu Zhaohou came , the group of lords dare not speak, only he dares to face Chu Zhaohou, so we choose him, as for his strength, when the luck of a country is added, he will surely improve rapidly, and in the early stage, you will be assisted by all the generals, and I will wait for the elders Assist with all your strength, at least make Cai Guo immortal!" The elder said solemnly.
"Elder, you let me think about it for a day!" Cai Tianlong said bitterly.
The elder nodded.
The elder withdrew, and all the soldiers talked wildly.
Finally the second day.
"I agree, elder, we will cooperate with you!" Cai Tianlong promised.
---
On the second day, Zheng Guozhong's army camp.
"Cai Tianlong asked you to send it?" A general grabbed a bamboo slip and looked at the envoy Cai Tianlong sent in front of him.
"yes!"
"Come here, escort this envoy to King Zheng!" the general shouted.
"yes!"
The envoy was quickly escorted to the state of Zheng.
King Cheng's Palace.
Manchu Wu Gongli, Zheng Wang frowned and looked at the envoy in front of him.
"Cai Tianlong's words, are you serious?" Zheng Wang said in a deep voice.
"Yes, the general has said that we will stop fighting with Zheng Guo, and we are willing to return Zheng Guo's crown prince and present four border cities to Zheng Guo as an apology, turning hostility into treasure!" the emissary said solemnly.
"Why?" King Zheng asked puzzled.
"There is no reason, the general just asked me to put forward a condition. If Zheng Guo is willing, then it will be established! Moreover, to express our sincerity, we will first give the four cities to Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo will stop fighting, and then release Prince Zheng!" The messenger said solemnly .
"Go down and rest, I think about it!"
The envoy retreated, and there was an uproar all over the court.
"Your Majesty, it must be Cai Guo's chaos this time, and Cai Wang is afraid!"
"Hahahaha, God help me Zheng!"
"Your Majesty, you can't agree with him, let's go all out and take more cities!"
"No, my lord, four cities are enough. Even if we try our best, Cai Guo will fight back. The four cities have already been obtained to the maximum extent. Besides, Zheng Guo has just swallowed Xu Guo, and there is no time to digest it. There are too many. It's not good!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the top priority now is not to fight everywhere, but to stabilize the Zheng country and advance to the middle country as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, at least the crown prince can return safely!"
……………
...
…
There was a lot of discussion in the court. King Zheng was silent for a while.
"Forget it, if you don't have enough people to eat like a snake, you will die if you eat too much, so I agreed to Cai Tianlong!" Zheng Wang laughed.
------
Cai Guo, Cai Palace.
"How is it possible, how could it be possible to lose so quickly?" King Cai yelled angrily.
"Your Majesty, the front line is completely lost, the Chu army is too strong, and the hearts of the people on the front line are in turmoil, the hearts of the owners of the major cities are fluctuating, and some of them have left the city to surrender!" A minister showed bitterness.
"Asshole, asshole!"
"Your Majesty, when luck dissipates and people's hearts fluctuate, the next defeat will only get faster and faster!"
"Where are the people from the ancestral temple? Where did they die? The widow wants you to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and asks you to repay your luck. Why haven't you started yet?"
"My lord, sacrifice is a cumbersome thing, we have already done it!" an elder said solemnly.
"Hmph, there is no one who is compliant, no one is compliant, Jiang Tai was arrested over there, have you caught it?" King Cai looked at another official.
"No, there is no news about them at all!"
"Useless things!"
King Cai was furious.
For a while, Cai Guochao hall was filled with smoky atmosphere.
----
The mining area that Chen and Cai used to compete for.
... In front of Cai Lu stood an elder of the ancestral temple.
"Let me be the king? No, no, I, I can't do it!" Cai Lu immediately evaded.
"Pinghou, Cai Guo will be destroyed, are you just watching the foundation of the ancestors collapse?" the elder of the ancestral temple pleaded.
"I, I!" Cai Lu was at a loss for a while.
"We've already discussed it, and it's up to you. Moreover, we have sent people to persuade the generals of all parties. At least 80% of the generals will agree, and we have also sent people to the major city lords. The southern city lords will definitely support you! "The elder of the ancestral temple affirmed.
Cai Lu was silent for a while, and finally said with a wry smile: "Okay! But, how much does Cai Guo lose this time?"
"Half of the country will be defeated by Duke Huan and Marquis Cai Ai. We are going to build the ancestral temple in Ludi in the south! Some elders have already gone to build the ancestral temple!" the elder said solemnly.
"Lu Di?"
"That's right, Lu Di established the new capital of King Cai, so of course this name will not be used from now on, so I ask Pinghou to give it a name!" the elder said solemnly.
"Lu Di, representing Cai Guo's new students, let's call them 'Xin Cai'!" Cai Lu said.
"Okay, I'll be called Xincai! I'll go back and inform all the elders to establish my new king!" the elder said while clenching his fists.
Cai Lu smiled wryly for a while, and finally nodded.
"I think, I think...!"
"What is the new king's order?"
"I'm going to return this copper mine to Chen Guo!" Cai Lu said in silence.
"oh?"
"This time I broke up with Chen Guo, but in the end, Prince Chen is fine. Chen and Cai have been married for many years. This friendship cannot be broken just now. I will use this copper mine as an apology. Please send troops from Chen Guo to help me stabilize the new one." Cai Guo!" Cai Lu said solemnly.
"Xin Jun is wise! Hahahaha, my Cai Kingdom is immortal!" the elder laughed.
---
five months later.
Jiang Tai and his party have gone through thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally arrived outside the city where there are people.
"This is the south of Chen country. In front of it is the copper mine that Chen and Cai fought over?" Chen Liu looked at a small city not far away in surprise.
"Finally back to Chen Country. Although there is still a long distance from Wanqiu, I finally escaped from Cai Guo's pursuit!" Chen Liu's follower said happily.
At this time, Man Zhong returned from a distant city.
"Uncle Man, how's the situation?" Jiang Tai asked.
Man Zhong smiled slightly: "Everything is safe, Xiaotai, you are too cautious!"
"No way, it will be too late if there is a problem!" Jiang Tai smiled.
"Uncle Man, you have been inquiring for so long, is there anything new?" the little witch asked curiously.
Chen Yi also looked at Man Zhong.
"I found out the news. A month ago, the army of Chu State and the army of Xi State joined forces outside Shangcai City!" Man Zhong said with a wry smile.
"So fast? This Cai** team is a piece of paper? This is going to hit Shang Cai?" Jiang Tai was shocked.
"Ah? A month ago, you already hit Shangcai? Then Cai Wang is really unlucky!" The little witch also said in a daze.
"Now?" Chen Yi asked curiously.
"I don't know, but Shangcai will definitely not be able to keep it. The hearts of the people will be lost, and the remaining army will resist stubbornly, and they won't be able to resist for long!"
"Cai Guo, will the country be destroyed?" Chen Yi frowned.
"No, the elders of the Cai Guozong Temple jointly elected Cai Lu as the new King Cai. In Xin Cai, the king's capital was re-established, and it has been rumored that the city will be intact in all directions, and the heaven and the earth will be sacrificed again. Uh, it was probably a few days ago, and they have gathered again. Lucky for Xincai!" Man Zhong explained.
"Cai Lu? The new King Cai?" Jiang Tai asked strangely.
ps: These two chapters are too much! But it is also history, Cailu restored the country and established Xincai as its capital!
