Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 379: Take the prestige, this is the move

As expected by Zhao Wuxi, a chaotic thief like Yanghu, as soon as he entered Yangzhou in the Qi border, was unceremoniously **** by the magistrates, and the treatment was very poor. www.geiliwx.com

During Yanghu's siege, more than half a year had passed, and he had fought to the death for many days. He would look disheveled, but he still didn't bow his head, and asked the Yangzhou magistrates why they treated him like this.

The city official said viciously while tying the rope: "What? The ceremony of hospitality? Last spring, you led the Lu people to invade Qi, attack Yangzhou, and shoot my relatives. If you hadn't been escorted to the capital, Nai Gong would have done it right now. I killed you!"

Yang Hu lamented: "You did the right thing, I just didn't expect that I would end up like this..." He was immediately restrained.

After several days on foot on the official road of Qi State, in early July, Yang Hu was finally taken to Linzi, the capital of Qi. As soon as he entered the city, he realized that something was wrong. The streets of Linzi could still see white flags and mourning clothes dyed in ink, and the same was true of those mountains and towers in the Duke of Qi's palace.

Yang Hu was surrounded in Guancheng by Meng's Duke Lianyang, and he was completely cut off from the outside world. It was only at this time that he knew that Yan Zi was dead. In addition to secretly saying that there is no such thing as an absolute road, he also strongly requested to meet Qi Hou Qiu Jiu in person, saying that he had to inform Qi Hou of something important.

Things hurt others. Not long after Lao Yanzi's funeral was over, Qi Hou was unhappy, and he was not in the mood to play and feast. Hearing that Yanghu ran to Qi and was bound to Linzi, they agreed to summon him out of curiosity. The courtiers tried their best to prevent him from saying that the king of his country should meet foreign traitors, and it might not sound good to hear it.

After Yan Zi's death, Qi Hou became more and more insistent. He said angrily: "There are many lonely people who have defected from the Lu Kingdom. But they have never met Yang Hu. This person is a private minister. , I think there must be something special about it. Why not see him once?"

So he finally saw Yanghu under the willow tree outside the prison. Although Qihou was old, he had a graceful demeanor and was wearing a luxurious fur coat. Yang Hu was in his prime, but he was chained to him. Just because the monarch was about to meet, he was doused with cold water by the jailer, washed with a hard and sultry pig-hair brush, and put on an ill-fitting sackcloth.

After the autumn in July, the weather changed suddenly, and Yanghu caught a cold, like a wilted summer seedling. He reluctantly bowed his head and said, "Yang Hu, a foreign minister of the State of Lu, has seen Qi Jun."

Qi Hou looked down on his appearance, and his attitude was arrogant: "The state of Lu, who has no lord and no father, is a traitor to Yang Hu, why does he ask to see the widow?"

Yang Hu raised his head and said with red eyes: "Without him, the foreign minister just has a good opportunity to win the prestige and hegemony to give to the emperor."

With just one sentence, Yang Hu scratched Qi Hou's itch.

...

Yang Hu knew that the early experience of this Qihou Chujiu was very similar to that of the current Luhou Song. He is the youngest son of Duke Ling of Qi and the younger brother of Duke Zhuang of Qi, when Cui Chu killed Duke Zhuang of Qi. Lu Chujiu, who was still young, was supported as the monarch, but he was like a puppet, always trembling, and only obeyed the orders of the powerful ministers.

After Cui Zhuo, Qingfeng came to power. This one was even more extreme, and replaced all the people around Kitsaw with his own cronies. That was the most miserable period of Lu Jiujiu's life. Originally, the king's daily meal consisted of two chickens. As a result, the daring Yong people secretly ate the chicken and replaced it with a duck. Chujiu was afraid of Qingfeng. He could only endure it with tears in his eyes, but even the master bullied him. He also stole another chicken every day and ate all the meat, leaving only the bones in the food box.

That day, when Chujiu looked at the chicken bones that seemed to be mocking him, he opened the case a few times, and his heart was furious.

After the anger, it is as desolate as death: "What is the meaning of this monarch in front of him?"

After that, Ziya and Ziwei Erhui expelled Qingfeng. They were a clan after all. Although they were still in a state, their life gradually improved.

The city head changed to the great king's flag, and after Erhui's death, his son was expelled by the Chen family and the Bao family. At this time, Lu Chujiu, who had reached his prime, began to use his methods. He appointed Yan Ying to support the old Qing clan, the Guo clan and the Gao clan, to check and balance Chen and Bao, and in one fell swoop reversed the decline of Qi's monarchy over the past few decades.

But the chicken bones in the pile of food boxes are still dreaming from time to time, so while getting close to the minister Liang Qiuqi, frantically playing, having fun, and collecting money, Qi Hou also hopes to do something more meaningful, so that he can forget about it. Those bleak days.

That is seeking hegemony! All the marquis of Qi in all dynasties have a common dream, that is, to restore the hegemony of Duke Huan of Qi!

However, the ideal is very rich, and the reality is very skinny. According to the covenant of the Military Society, although Qi is one of the four major countries, it is still a small partner of Jin. Chu Jiu also had to ask Yan Ying to send the clan daughter to let Jin Ping, the hungry ghost in color, spoil him. If one died, he had to pay for his smiling face and send another. When he met Jin Jun Xinli, he had to worship Jin.

However, the Marquis of Jin was short-lived, and the six ministers in the country were fighting for power, but Chu Jiu was strong and strong.

In that year, when Duke Zhao of Jin succeeded to the throne, Mu Zi of the Bank of China saluted each other. During the banquet, the two monarchs of Jin and Qi played a game of throwing pots, and the slightly drunk Chujiu began to reveal his ambitions.

At that time, Duke Zhao of Jin voted first, and the wine order must be executed when throwing a pot. Muzi of Zhongxing said on behalf of the monarch: "There is wine like Huai, and there is meat like buns. Among the few lords, this is the teacher of the feudal lords." Duke Zhao of Jin voted.

When the people of Jin State were praising them with their palms, Chujiu also raised his arrow and said, "There is wine like a mug, and meat like a mausoleum. The few people are here, and the king will prosper." He also hit it.

There was silence all over the place, Bank of China Mu Zi glared angrily, and Chu Jiu wanted to compete with Jin for hegemony because of the rejuvenation of Qi.

But the state of Jin at this time was still "the military commander is strong, and the soldiers are persuaded by competition". There are also two famous generals from the Bank of China Wu and Wei Shu. Han Qiwei is in power. Even the mighty King Ling of Chu dare not say that he can To resist, none of the princes dared to make trouble.

Therefore, although Chujiu spoke big words, he couldn't help the state of Jin. At the meeting of Pingqiu a few years later, facing the Jin's 4,000 strong soldiers, he was so frightened that he had to succumb to Jin's hegemony. Shangqing went to show his loyalty.

But since then, he has gradually reused worthy officials such as Yan Ying and Sima Rangju, and attacked from all sides at the same time, opening up a situation for Qi.

In the east, quickly digest Lai. In the south, Xu and Ju were attacked in the name of shunning barbarians. As a result, Qi, Xu, Tan, and Ju formed an alliance of Putun, and Qi became the hegemony of Haidai. In the north he fought for Beiyan. Let the state of Yan become the state of Qi, and accept women to seek peace. In the direction of the Central Plains, it supports the return of the expelled Weihou. He also interfered in the event of Duke Zhao's departure from the State of Lu, and seemed to be the arbiter of international affairs in Zhuxia when the State of Jin was inactive. Get enough prestige and vanity.

At this time, the infighting of the six ministers in the Jin state was intensifying, and they could only turn a blind eye to the actions of the state of Qi. As a result, more than 20 years later, when I look back, I find that Qi has more allies such as Beiyan, Zheng, Ju, and Song, Zhu, Wei, etc., and they will go to Qi's arms one day. His little friends only have a fish-belly-like Lu country, and the Zhou royal family who can't take care of themselves.

At this time, Qi Guo dared to completely tear his face with Jin country. Start a blatant struggle for northern hegemony.

However, as Sima Rangju and Yan Ying died one after another, Qi Hou also realized that his "dominance" was a little short of what he was. It took thirty years for Jin to be completely defeated, and the newly acquired younger brothers Xu and Tan in the south fell into the hands of the emerging power Juwu.

In last year's war, not only was the Wei Kingdom, which had already been in the pocket, but the Jin people forcibly recaptured it, and even the fortress of Linqiu was lost, and the struggle for hegemony fell to a disadvantage. He was hit by this, and Yan Zi, who was also a teacher and a friend and a minister, died, and he looked around at a loss.

As the hair turns white. His teeth faltered, and Qi Hou became anxious, hoping that he would be the same as Qi Huan Jinwen before his death, and let the emperor go to his uncle. Enjoy a serious overlord treatment.

Therefore, Yang Hu's words hit him right in his arms!

...

Qi Hou became interested, and he asked Yang Hu, "Tell me about it. What good strategy can I use to help the widow recover the matter of Qi Huan and Jinwen?"

Yang Hu said: "The situation in China is not that Jin and Qi are together. Now that the four realms of the emperor have been subdued, Jin has only one Lu to help. In the past, whenever Jin and Qi were in trouble, Lu would attack from Qi's belly and back, restraining them. Master Qi..."

Yang Hu's words made his face blushed and his heart skipped a beat. In the past few years, he was the one who brought Lu Jun to restrain Qi people again and again, wasn't he?

Qi Hou of course also thought of it, he laughed without saying a word, Yang Hu could only bite the bullet and continue to flicker: "Uncle and grandson Muzi has something to say, if Lu does not have a second, then the small country will be in harmony. If even the state of Lu obeys the king, not only Apart from the troubles of the stomach and back, the Jin state has no other country, and what kind of overlord will he be? Naturally, he will lose his hegemony. At that time, all the princes of Huaisi will not follow the wind and fall to the Qi, which is the so-called victory over the situation."

Qi Hou nodded his head, but said meaningfully: "This is a good statement, but some people said that if you take in you, you will definitely have a grudge with the Ji family. But if you are sent back to Lu, you will be able to make good friends with Lu Hou and Ji's family. Sanhuan, promote the Qilu peace talks, so that the Lu country will be at peace without fighting, why do you need to fight, what do you think?"

He wanted to see Yang Hu's panic-stricken appearance, but Yang Hu's face didn't change, he said with a smile: "If Yang Hu's head can help the emperor to gain hegemony, then take it, but now there are too many in Lu State. Given a variable, this plan, Your Majesty, may not work."

"What variable?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of Wu Xie, the son of Zhao Qing of the Jin State, he has only been in Lu for a year, and now he has become a small Sikou, and he occupies the third place in the west of Lu State, with a high position and authority. This person was originally established by me, Therefore, Yang Hu knows him very well. Although he is young and weak, he is born with a wolf ambition. He wants to seek to return to the country for the sake of advancing. Any resolution related to peace talks in Lucheng will be blocked by him~www.wuxiahere.com ~ Qihou nodded: "Yes, it is this person who entered Lu with Zhenyi and Linqiu, which made the reconciliation of Qi, Lu, Wei and Lu a little more hindered. "

Yang Hu took the opportunity and said: "In the opinion of the foreign ministers, it is better to send troops to attack it. The foreign ministers know that the Lu army is empty and real, and there are many party members in the country. They can be guides and lead the Qi division first to pull Yangguan and Guancheng, and empty the northern border. The Lu people are cowardly, if one strike fails, they will be defeated in three strikes!"

"The six ministers of the Jin state were troubled and had no time to look east. Zhao Wuxi used the Jin people to steal from the west of Lu, and all the people were suffering, and they all fled to Dayeze as robbers. This day, the emperor was given the name of disaster relief and compassion, so he took it again. Yuncheng, Bazhenyi, and Fuluqiu. At that time, the Sanhuan of Lu State will definitely send envoys to seek peace, instead of having to travel hundreds of miles to fight the Jin army decisively between Heji, so that the husband and wife of the people of Linzi will be separated.

Yang Hu knew that meeting Qi Hou this time was his only chance to survive and even retaliate, so he used his eloquence to the extreme. After all, he was a person who had been "governing" a country for several years. After he jumped out of the game, he thought about it, and his vision was naturally extraordinary, which made Qi Hou a little moved.

"To take the power of Dingba, this is the move! Please think about it!" (To be continued...) Happy reading every day
