Spring and Autumn I Am King

Mian Shang Luyuan, Ji Ying dreamed that her mother was still there, her father protected everything, she was still a little girl, jumping around on the grass. Wang Adi has not yet reached the crown, as thin as a sword, holding a horsewhip and guarding her beside her when she dozed on the grass, smiling lightly in the dark night.

What a sweet dream, sweet things never last long, the dawn came mercilessly, the sun pierced down like a dagger, and she woke up sore, lonely and tired.

She was tired from the journey from Chengxiang to Xiagong and then to Mianshang, and she was tired from the responsibilities she had to take after Adi and her father left one after another.

Recently, the state of Jin has been in turmoil, and the east of Taihang is about to fight again, and Ji Ying came here in a hurry, just to see his father Zhao Yang off from afar.

Under the bright sun, the originally empty Mianshang hunting ground became crowded, and the neighing of people and horses could be heard endlessly. In the curtain of the carriage, she saw those new recruits who joined the Zhao family, all with their heads held high, and she hoped that the dispatch of troops would be able to achieve meritorious deeds, be promoted to the rank in the Juxian Hall, or be successfully transferred to the family. Officers and Military.

She also saw Nago's soldiers, officers with swords, and Hu Ben wearing armor and armor standing on the side of the road. They had just finished an exercise in the name of hunting. The tips of countless spears were flashing red, as if they were crying blood. .

There are also the envoys of Wu State who came to watch Zhao's military might. Those foreigners with broken hair and tattoos watched Zhao soldiers line up with disdain. The maids and concubines walking outside the car. Will deliberately make a wolf-like cry. Ji Ying frowned, because of her mother's words and deeds, she had always been hostile to these Wu people and didn't like them.

If you look carefully. Their team was mixed with merchants and craftsmen who drove the carriages, and Yu Mu who fed the livestock. Some of them had faces Ji Ying was very familiar with. It was the black-clothed guards of the Zhao family's lower palace, and even the Scholar Zheng Long was among them. They should have been wearing dark armor and guarding their father's side, but why did they dress up like this?

When Ji Ying asked in private. Zhao Yang glanced at him and said, "It's your brother's plan. Men don't say anything. Women don't say anything. You don't need to know."

Zhao Yang used to go out for many expeditions, but this time it was slightly different. Ji Ying was concerned about two people at the same time. Also have to do the housekeeping.

"This time, I will let Dong Zi go back to the lower palace to preside over the Zhao family's government affairs. The foreign affairs are up to him, and the internal affairs are up to you. When the war is over, the main town of the Zhao family will be relocated to Jinyang, and all affairs must be coordinated. , the north is bitter and cold, and it is not as rich as Xinjiang, so a lot of preparations have to be done."

"Only... my daughter knows."

Ji Ying is seventeen years old. Compared with two years ago, she has changed a lot, not only in body, but also in temperament and ability. She single-handedly managed Chengxiang's porcelain production. Take over the various internal affairs of the lower palace.

But in the dead of night, the girl just wanted to cry. She was really tired of trying to be strong. If she could change back to the innocent and timid little girl she was when she was young, just once. Really... a day... an hour is enough...

But this time, she can only be strong. Standing on the high hill, Ji Ying watched the flags on Zhao Yangsi's chariot. It was the most spectacular flag she had ever seen in her life, with a black border on a white background, embroidered with the black black bird pattern of the Zhao family, huge, soaring and proud.

Caressing the little white deer growing up beside him, Ji Ying raised his head and prayed to Haotian.

"I only hope that my father can win this time, and Wu Xie can also do what he wants and come back as soon as possible."

When all the soldiers left the hunting ground, Ji Ying looked at Mian Shang, who was silent and empty again, thinking in his heart that when the spring of next year began, the family would go north to Jinyang. I heard that there is a vast area and few people. The Dayuan Hunting Garden that Zhao’s family has set out alone is a hundred miles wide. Maybe you can raise more deer in it.

"However, once you go to Jinyang, you will be hundreds of miles away from Xilu, where Wu Xie is."

For a long time, a deep and long "Gentleman in Service" echoed slowly on Gaogang:

"The gentleman is in the service, I don't know the period, and the time is coming? The chickens live in the village, the sun is over, the sheep and cattle come down. The gentleman is in the service, so don't think about it!"

...

"Although Wei Hou is rotten in private affairs, and he doesn't seem to care much for the people, he has a good reputation for stroke among scholars. He is talented and intelligent, and he still has some ability to govern the country, especially he can bear it!"

In mid-September, in the city of Linqiu, the news of the arrival of the unorthodox division of the Zhao clan in Nanyang had already come, and Zhao Yang also sent the main force across Taihang to the east. While Bank of China, Fan, and Handan's eyes were fixed on Dongyang and Yiyi, and they were busy recruiting soldiers to prepare for rescue, the two leaders of Zhao's East and West kept their vigilance against Wei.

After last year's Yingze Alliance, it was reported that Weihou was extremely dissatisfied with the "unequal treaty" imposed by Jin to cede territory and indemnity. He has been in contact with Qi and may rebel again at any time.

"Jin strives hard, but does not respect morality, so naturally it cannot keep a small country for a long time." Even Zhao Wuxi can't help but admit that in the past ten years, Jin has done nothing to appease Zhuxia and maintain international relations. Hello Qi. That's why Zhao Yang is constantly running around, but in the overall situation, it is of little use.

The thankless era of kingship and hegemony has passed. The Spring and Autumn Period still respected courtesy and faith, while the Warring States period never spoke of courtesy and faith. The next few hundred years of competition for hegemony will be **** and bloody, and eventually evolve into large-scale mergers.

Wu Xie does not know whether the historical process will be advanced because of his arrival.

In short, contrary to everyone's expectations, Wei Guo did not rebel at the beginning of the spring, nor did it after the summer. Until the Qi State attacked Yiyi, there was still no movement in Puyang, but after the autumn harvest, the soldiers were assembled, and five hundred troops of the whole country were stationed in Puyang, and they did not know what their intentions were.

So by the middle of September, even Zhao Wuxi had to admire Weihou's forbearance.

Zhang Mengtan analyzed by the side: "Although Qi people attack day and night, Yiyi is a fortified city that has been in business for a hundred years, and Guo You is still there. Jin's reinforcements still have some time to arrive. At present, the main force of the Qi army only needs to face A small number of soldiers from the Bank of China were harassing them. Therefore, compared to the reckless He Qi Guomeng meeting who rebelled against Jin last year, Wei Hou has learned a lot now. Since the situation is not tense, he can wait for the best time to raise his flag. ."

Wu Xie had a toothache: "This delay. Not only can I, Xilu, not rashly provoke a war, but also at the most suitable time to hit the reinforcements of Jin Guofan and Handan in the middle, so that they can't reinforce Yiyi."

Hearing is worse than seeing. After this incident, Wu Xie began to abandon his contempt for Weihou, the all-male eater, and reconsider him as an important enemy. No wonder, when I met Confucius in Zhongdu a year ago. Zilu was on the side, talking about the princes and the kings. Confucius even thought that the Marquis of Wei was more wise in politics.

Wuxi expressed his confusion. At that time, Confucius said: "The Marquis of Wei is talented and wise. When he was young, because of Mimou's wisdom, he was able to rule the country of a thousand vehicles. His reputation was enough to protect the soil, so he loved him and let him go. He was also called Lin Guo. , Seeing the sages, they must advance, so there are no wandering scholars in the dynasty of Weihou, and they are all honored together; there is also a person named Qingzu, the Weiguo will rise and govern when there are major events, and if there is nothing to do, he will retreat and accept the sages, and the prince will be happy. Respect. The doctor Shi Gou left Wei because of political disagreement, and Wei Hou rushed to the suburbs to stay in the wild for three days. He also stopped entertainment, and he must wait for Shi Gou to return before returning to the palace. He can do such a thing, reputation It's virtuous. Why not?"

After the Qi Bao and Bei Gongxi riots, Wei Guo has not suffered any more civil strife for nearly 20 years. The only feudal lords in the Middle Xia are now Song and Wei Zunqi. This is also a clear proof.

But Wu Xie felt that these words were biased after listening to some narrations of Weiren Zigong.

Mi Mu was Mi Zixia, and he was reused not only because of his talent. Also because he was a male of Wei Hou, he gradually lost his **** in old age. It's the son's turn to be greeted. That Lin Guo recommended talent is not without a price, and the recommended person has to give him a portion of his salary. The state of Wei was not so good that there were "no wanderers in the court", so Zigong and Zilu went abroad to seek a living...

He suspected that it was because Confucius left the state of Lu when he was young and received the courtesy of the Marquis of Wei, so he chose to ignore some things. There is no way, the Master's temperament is so clear-cut, and he has recently been a little angry at Zhao Wuxi's blatantly organizing a private alliance of Doctor Xilu.

Kan Zhi said anxiously: "In any case, if we continue like this, we will be attacked by Dong'e of Qi State in the north, the division of Pingyin, the 500 soldiers of Puyang of Wei State, and the thieves who do not know when they will attack. I was caught in the middle, and I couldn’t move. I must break the game as soon as possible, otherwise, don’t say anything about trying to gain benefits from the chaos, and maybe you will suffer losses.”

"It doesn't matter, the Qi people from Dong'e and Pingyin are cautious. They just want to block us from going north. They have never dared to cross the border for half a step. With the sheep tongue Sima, you can be safe."

"As for Wei Guo... there is a knife on the end of the word forbearance, and Wei Hou does not move. Their main force is in Puyang, and their energy is also attracted by the Fan Chaoge Army and Handan Army in the Jin Kingdom. Just let us solve it. Onozawa's worries!"

...

Over the past year, Zhao Wuxi has been carefully compiling a big net against thieves, recruiting three or four thousand refugees, and after screening them, they are dispersed and resettled in the territory. But if he didn't completely defeat the Rogue Zhi forces, most people would still be united by his side.

However, Wu Xie encountered a lot of trouble in the military operation against Robber Zhi.

Not to mention that his newly formed navy crew was no match for the robbers who grew up in lakes and swamps under Robber Zhi, but it was also difficult for the army to penetrate into the edge of Onozawa.

Robber Zhi was very clever. He gradually figured out the law of military and **** warfare, and the line phalanx had the upper hand against the troops of the lords and officials who were still in the "dignified battle". Can deal with the robbers who are elusive and ghosts, see the advantages, and gather together, and the disadvantages are like birds and beasts. Generally, they can only disperse their main force, but if they encircle and suppress small troops, they will not have any advantage.

Therefore, the group of thieves now feel that as long as they do not go further inland, they can enter the range of activities of the cavalry. After the spring of last year, Robber Zhi's men went out to loot or attack cities. When the enemy came, they retreated, took a boat to the other side of the swamp and continued to loot and siege the city, fighting in the semi-swamp area, but the military pawns could not help them.

The military officers within Wuzu have formed a certain pattern, so Yi soldiers and Ting soldiers are also trained in this way.

So in summer, a group of more than 200 patriarchs was chasing the group of thieves, and they ran into the ambush in person. He used the group of thieves to throw slings like raindrops to disrupt the formation of the patriarchs~www.wuxiahere.com~ and then It was too late when reinforcements arrived.

At that time, a total of more than 100 Ting soldiers were killed, wounded or captured, which was the biggest defeat for Zhao Wuxi's forces after they took root in Xilu.

Wu Xie was extremely shocked at the time, and after thinking about the pain, he also began to improve the formation of the martial arts. He and Ran Qiu brainstormed, combined with the characteristics of group thieves and previous life knowledge, and developed a "special formation for bandit suppression", which just came in handy this time.

"I have my own ideas."

Wu Xie shifted his gaze from Wei to the east of the map: "Our transfer in the past half month is not just for pure defense, can Yuncheng be arranged properly?"

"Wei! Ziyou sent someone to report, saying that everything is ready, just waiting for Liu Xiazhi to enter the urn!" (To be continued)
