Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: a 5,000-word chapter today, two more tomorrow

"Zhi heard that Shang Tang was hunting between the rivers, and when he saw the wild men spread out from all sides, he prayed and said, "All animals and animals from the upper and lower sides have entered me." Tang said: 'Hey, the birds and beasts are all gone! It's not benevolent.' So Tang ordered to go to the three sides, He opened only one side, prayed, and said: The animals want to be left, left; they want to be right, right. If you don't want to order, enter me. The princes heard that Shang Tang opened three sides, and praised its benevolence and virtue to the beasts, how much more the princes? So the princes finished their suits... "

"Today, the Si Kou has laid down layers of layers inside and outside the Daze, the boats can't get out, the corn and hemp can't get in, and the feet are guilty, but why the 40,000 people? When the cold winter arrives, I don't know how many people die from freezing and starvation. Name, how can you bear it? Zhi stealing is the reason why Si Kou will not take it..."

At the end of September, in Yuncheng, Zhao Wuxi was wearing a leather armor with a black background painted red, no crown, but a black scarf. Hearing Kan Zhinian's reply from Robber Zhi, he couldn't help laughing. This is probably his year. The funniest thing I've ever heard.

"If I hadn't known earlier that he was a thief running rampant, I would have thought that he was a gentle Confucian scholar, but it would be a pity not to be a pedestrian who is arguing. It's too much love to compare me to Shang Tang."

However, being touted by such a chess opponent, Wu Xie's heart is still somewhat useful.

After the ambush, Robber Zhi didn't know what tactics he used to escape. Although his prestige has plummeted, with his pivot, at least until the end of this year, the group ︽≦︽≦, x. The thieves will not completely fall apart.

But Zhao Wuxi didn't plan to give him a chance to breathe.

With the military victory, the political offensive has to keep up, and the large-scale surrender operation against Onozawa has already begun. There are several small islands in the periphery, and the cave owner and the like look down at the wind. He almost helped him arrest Robber Zhi. There were several places in the east that did not respond, but they did not dare to harm the messenger that Zhao Wuxi sent to see him off. in between.

But the largest Dongyuan Island is still in the hands of Robber Zhi, and there are more than a thousand of his elite and senior Robbers on the island, all of whom are ferocious desperadoes. It is said that the island has a complex terrain, densely covered with steep rocks, and there are countless river channels in the reeds.

What's more, he didn't believe in those pirates who were looking out for the wind, and he was even more reluctant to let his painstaking soldiers board the pirate ship. What if things changed and I was buried in the belly of a fish? So don't think about entering again for the time being.

According to Wu Xie and Zhang Mengtan's original plan, if the robber Zhi can be captured alive, he and the Onozawa group of robbers will have something to use. But now I haven't been able to do my best. Although Wu Xie sent a letter, he consciously wanted to persuade Liu Xiazhi to surrender.

However, it turns out that Wu Xie underestimated this person this time.

So in the reply letter, Robber Zhi begins with the story of Shang Tang opening three sides. Asking Zhao Wuxi to let him go. Robber Zhi vowed to reconcile with Wu Xie. As long as the "people" in Huzeli can survive this winter, he is willing to go ashore to make a blood pledge and never approach Wu Xie again in the future. Even in the territory of the various Siru.

In the bamboo slips, Liu Xiazhi no longer had the arrogance that he used to run rampant in the river and economy in previous years, and no longer had the arrogance when he shouted "the monarch of no way". There was a helpless low voice between the lines.

Zhao Wuxi will not despise him because of this, but he will pay more attention to it. Can bend the spine of pride. Can endure humiliation, can bear weight. To be able to get down, such a person is a bit more terrifying than Ning Zhi and not bending, although Roof Zhi has repeatedly emphasized in the slips that his bow is for the "people" of the island...

Kan Zhi said: "Up to now, Roof Zhi still wants to negotiate terms with Si Kou, he just wants to delay, as long as he survives this year and takes advantage of the wars in Qi, Jin and even Weilu, he may be able to find it again. A chance to revive. Si Kou can’t be trusted, it’s easy to release a tiger, but it’s hard to tie a tiger, so we should take advantage of the situation to pursue and destroy it in one fell swoop!”

Wu Xie nodded: "Why don't I know, but Qi people are restraining in the north, Wei Guo still doesn't know what to do, and Sanhuan is simply unreliable. Do we have the strength to deal with Liu Xiazhi now?"

Kan Zhi thought about it for a while, and said with regret: "No."

Yes, the purpose of Wu Xing's ambush was to make Rogue Zhi have no time to attack him from the rear for a while, but if he could not capture or kill the leader, even if he could be repulsed, it would not be enough to cut the grass and root, and the trouble was here.

"I will read you to write, and then send a letter to Liu Xiazhi, saying that he has three choices now, one is to clean up the part and fight me to the death. At the beginning of the month, I destroyed the nest on Dongyuan Island, landed and surrendered, handed over all the population and ships to me, and I will properly settle the innocent."

Kan Zhi said, "I'm afraid Liu Xiazhi will not descend."

"He seems to have two paths: war or surrender, but in fact he has no choice. After encountering the mandarin duck formation, he may have lost his confidence in his opponent, and he will die in battle. It will be a matter of time. He understands, that kind of temperament that will never give up until the last moment, certainly will not give up, so I will give him a third choice."

Wu Xie continued: "Thirdly, since he is willing to bow his head, I am not stingy about opening it up. Are they always short of food and clothing? I do know that there is a place that is really good, it depends on whether he is willing to go! "

Kan Zhi was stunned, and suddenly stopped writing: "Could it be that Si Kou said..."

"That's right, I want Liu Xiazhi to ask to attack and defend the country for self-efficacy!"

Kan Zhi pondered for a moment, then clapped his palms and praised: "Great plan! Si Kou is brilliant."

Wu Xie does not take credit: "This is Zhang Zi's strategy to drive away tigers and swallow wolves. If the robber Zhi is captured, then use his name to manipulate the robbers to do it, but now it can only be changed slightly. "

"The state of Wei has been slow to move. I think the Marquis of Wei is waiting for the opportunity of the Jin state's Fan clan and Handan clan to send troops to Yiyi to intercept it. In this way, if we take the initiative to attack and defend, we will become the provocateurs of the war. If the first rioter dies, he may be criticized by the ministers of the Jin State. But Robber Zhi is different. He is a robber who does not belong to any party. Isn't it something that happens every autumn and winter when a group of thieves attack bridges and passes? Of course. Robber Zhi has no weapons, we don't count on him, he can't break the big city, he just needs to cut off the connection between the city and the village. Occupy roads and bridges, weaken Punan's defenses. Let the defenders get tired. Punan will be completed by then. I got a crab with its big claws and crab legs plucked out, and let us fish."

…

Although Kan Zhi had doubts about whether Liu Xiazhi would agree to this matter. But the result surprised him. Just three days later, Liu Xiazhi wrote back, "I would like to do Si Kou's work." The ships monitoring Dongyuan Island in the Dahu also reported that the island had begun to mobilize again.

"You can't let your guard down. You have to wait until the group of thieves really attack Punan, and this calculation will be half. In addition to the thieves, the two thousand thieves we have just collected can also choose the submissive leader. Continue to dress up as a thief. Kou looks like he is heading south under the leadership of military officials."

Kan Zhi said: "Sanyi soldiers should leave some of the Qi people to defend the northern side, so if the group of robbers can be used as the vanguard, I can reduce casualties. If the Weiguo soldiers die, Punan's defense will be weakened, and the group of robbers will die. Then the thieves of Onozawa will be cut down. Si Kou can also enter the defense territory under the banner of suppressing robbers, and fight all the way to the edge of the Yellow River to join forces with Zhao Bing!”

A plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves. Let one attack the other, and let them kill each other, so that the third party can take advantage of the fisherman. Later Xun Yu ordered Liu Bei to attack Lü Bu, and Emperor Yang of Sui ordered Tie Le to destroy Tuyuhun for self-efficacy and the Sui Dynasty took over the land. Not so.

Kan Zhi showed hesitation again: "It's just, if the robbers take this opportunity to rob the people and restore their vitality. What should I do?"

Literally it is not difficult to understand that the operator who "drives the tiger and swallows the wolf" needs to have superb technology and means. Otherwise, in the end, the tiger's harm is greater than the wolf's harm, and there will be endless troubles.

"As long as they go ashore. Under the front of the military soldiers, they can't help them. I can ask him to bring some food and clothing back, but he is not allowed to loot the population, and not many people are killed. I can also take the opportunity to recruit a group to stay, and at the end of the day. Liu Xiazhi will find that instead of recovering, he is getting more and more difficult. In fact, I don’t know if Robber Zhi understands that if he offends the people around Onozawa by one point, his foundation of survival will be reduced by one point. He thinks that he loses in the army. In fact, it is lost in the hearts of the people.”

The robber Zhi may have realized that, so he has the slogan of equalizing the rich and the poor, but it is too late. In the past few years, the unscrupulous looting of the robbers under his command has dug his own roots, and the arrival of Zhao Wuxi And good governance has greatly reduced the lethality of this slogan.

From this point of view, as long as Wu Xie won the surrounding area of ​​Onozawa and dealt with people's livelihood issues well, there would be no possibility for the robbers to return, because the rogues are destined to be cast aside by the Chinese people and eliminated by history.

In the end, Kan Zhi asked curiously, "I don't know what was written in the handwritten letter that Si Kou first sent, which can change Liu Xiazhi's attitude so much."

"Without him, I am actually very similar to Liu Xiazhi. He is the illegitimate son of Liuxia clan's Yehe. After entering the city of Lu, he was scorned by three scorpions, and he was finally expelled by Ji clan. He has been neglected for more than ten years. He was once a female, but was framed by traitors and jealous people, and now he is still adrift. Maybe a certain sentence in my letter just made him tempted. Can understand the situation and ambitions of the scumbag... So no matter whether it is true or false, he has at least put down his confrontational attitude and is willing to try to cooperate with me. If it is suitable, maybe he can deal with the common enemy together and do something. cause."

Kan Zhi tried to ask, "What?"

Wuyi showed a meaningful smile: "Prince and general, would you rather have a seed!?"

…

Wei Guo's betrayal of Jin has actually been going on for a long time. Wei Hou Yuan consciously led the alliance with Jin Guoqing at the meeting of Yingze. Jin State has been harsh to Wei for a long time. Compared with Qi Hou's kindness to him, it is a world of difference. So when he returned to Puyang Diqiu, he planned to betray Jin and surrender to Qi. For two years, I just forbeared it.

Unexpectedly, it is a whole year's time.

Therefore, when the news of Qi's attack on Yiyi came, Marquis Wei was ecstatic.

But he was also worried that the doctors would object, because Wei's ministers had a very deep stake in the Jin state, and the Wei people's manor was intertwined with the Qi'ao land occupied by the Jin state. Sun Xinglin's father even brought the land to Jin directly. Haven't asked for it yet.

Wei Hou Yuan was helpless, so he had to ask the doctor Wang Sun Jia, who helped him save his face at the Ying Ze meeting again.

In fact, although Marquis Wei is shrewd occasionally, his talent is only mediocre. He is suspicious because he likes male pets, and he has a bad temper, and he treats the people in a daze. The reason why the state of Wei rose steadily after he succeeded to the throne was because he, like the Marquis of Qi, was ignorant at the same time. There is also a knowledgeable side. There is Confucius who receives guests (that is, Confucius, who is sensitive and eager to learn, and is not ashamed to ask questions). Zhu Tuo managed the sacrifices, and Wang Sun Jia commanded the army. These are the three kimono horses that are pulling Wei Guo today.

The resourceful Wang Sun Jia came up with an idea. He asked Wei Hou to stop the court meeting and move to a palace in the suburbs. This was the place where the judgment and refuge took place in the country at the beginning of Wei Houyuan's accession to the throne. This move has a special meaning, so the doctors were very strange and came to ask why.

As soon as they met each other, Wei Hou's dress shocked them, and they were wearing the original plain crown that was only worn during military defeat or national mourning!

In this strange atmosphere, Wei Hou told them the insults and unequal treatment he received from the Jin people at the Yingze meeting last year. With a gloomy expression, he said: "The widow knows that it is humiliating to the society, and I can't help the former kings Kangshu, Wugong, and Wengong. Wuyan will occupy the throne again. The second and third sons should change the prince to the heir, and the widow is willing to avoid Xintai."

The doctors were all stunned, and the monarch quit his job. What kind of thing is this?

They know very well that this monarch who takes all men and women seems to be confused and lustful, but he is actually shrewd, the powerful ministers for more than 20 years. Wasn't it all cleaned up by him? What's more, the marriage with the Song Kingdom was finally settled, and they still expected to marry the daughter-in-law over there, but the monarch here openly abdicated, so what should I do? It's not that the daughter of Song Guo's daughter will pass on to the new king! The state of Wei is now sandwiched between the two great states of Qi and Jin. Just hope to have a good relationship with the Song Dynasty in the south, and have a lot of support.

Like the Song Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom is constantly judging its size. There have even been cases of paraffin killing the king, and the situation of "governing by the Ning family. Offering sacrifices to the widow", but has always maintained the tradition of honoring the king. Although the Qing clan was powerful and colluded with foreign countries, they did not dare to take power.

So the officials and officials advised each other: "This is the scourge of Wei, where is the fault of the emperor?"

Wei Hou also pretended to abdicate and threatened the doctors, so he continued: "Last year's harsh covenant is nothing, but now there are still more worrying things, now Qi Jin is in trouble, Jin State suspects Wei State will betray, so He sent people to tell the widow, "We must take the prince of Wei and the sons of the ministers as hostages!"

The doctors hesitated for a moment. Although they were a little dissatisfied with the persecution of the Jin people, they were still within the acceptable range. When the time came, they would send their shuzi to follow the prince to Xinjiang. Take care of one or two?

So he said: "If this move is beneficial to the country, the crown prince should take up this responsibility. How dare the sons of the ministers follow the horse's tail without carrying the bridle and reins of the horse?"

Wang Sunjia sneered beside him: "What the Jin people asked for is the direct son of the doctors, not the son of a concubine!"

The doctors were dumbfounded: "Really? It's over..."

Wang Sun Jia also bewitched: "More than that, the Jin people used the pretext to make a lot of weapons and armor, and asked all the artisans and merchants in Puyang to migrate to Chaoge, Handan, and Bai people, and the two armies of Wei and the people of the country would also serve in the three armies of Jin. Go to Yiyi to fill the gully!"

The doctors were a little angry: "How dare Jin people do this!"

Wei Hou Qi Ran said: "The Wei State was the uncle of the lords in the Zongzhou period, and the Jin State was separated from the Rong and Di, and its status was not as good as mine. But since the Battle of Chengpu, the Wei State has let go of the honor after King Wen, and after King Wu. The state of Jin never pays tribute, but the people of Jin humiliate us many times. At that time, Duke Wen of Jin wanted to kill the first emperor Chenggong because of a small festival. Because the amount of imperial physicians in the Zhou family was not much, he was fortunately not dead. The land in the west of my country is distributed to the state of Lu."

"This is an old grievance. Let's just talk about something that happened recently. At the Gao Wease meeting a few years ago, in order to win over Cai, the Jin people even ranked Cai Shuo's rebellious blood before our country's defense, if it weren't for that. Doctor Ziyu is fighting for reasons, and the widow may be humiliated. In the war last year, the Jin army looted rampantly in Wei, and at least more than 2,000 households were looted, and the Zhao family even occupied Zhencheng. Jin State openly assigned this city to Lu State. That's enough, but now, the prince, the sons of various ministers, as well as the people of the country, craftsmen and merchants, as long as we have, all have to serve Jin State, as if we are alone He is no longer an independent prince, but a county doctor in Jin!"

Wei Hou said that, filled with righteous indignation, he suddenly stood up, removed his crown, and drew his sword to cut the case in two!

"It's bearable, but it's unbearable! We must never agree to this kind of humiliation of subjugating the country and destroying the society. We must rely on the will of the few people. Now that Qi is attacking Jin, it is better to betray Jin and join Qi!"

It's for this! The doctors looked at each other, showing hesitation.

Wang Sun Jia Yuanchang said: "Why would it be too late to betray Jin first, and then send hostages in danger? Think about it, gentlemen, if Wei betrayed Jin and Jin attacked me, how dangerous would it be?"

Although I don't know whether the "harsh conditions" of the Jin state that Wei Hou and Wang Sun Jia swore are true, but the doctors are now obliged to send arrows on the strings. "Although Wei is small, it is also a country of five hundred vehicles. Even if the Jin people attack us five times, it is still impossible to break through Puyang and still have the ability to fight. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com"

So this sudden public meeting came to an end, and Wei Guo decided to betray Jin. In September, the two armies of 500 chariots and more than 20,000 soldiers gathered in Puyang, waiting for the best time to start.

According to the secret agreement between Qihou and Weihou, their eyes were fixed on the movements of the Jin army.

Therefore, on the Punan side, Wei Guo left only one division to defend each city.

At the beginning of October, when the Fan clan and the Handan clan of the Jin Kingdom gathered 600 and 400 soldiers respectively to prepare for the eastward to support the Zhongxing clan, who was about to be unable to hold on, the Weihou, who was ready to go, also received the Punan area. The news of the harassment of thieves, the interruption of traffic and communication between the cities... (To be continued...)
