Spring and Autumn I Am King

In mid-January, the weather turned warmer and all things recovered. The hatched larvae opened up the soil and drilled out one after another, and the willows on the roadside began to pull out tender shoots. ※%, x.

On this day, Zhao Wuxi's relatives and officials went to the western boundary of Zhendi to see Zhao Yang off. As a son, he naturally wanted to get off his horse and bow down to say goodbye, but Zhao Yang didn't like the behavior of the little son and daughter, who waved his hands on the chariot impatiently to drive him away.

"Going forward is the Weijing, go back."

Today, Zhao Yang is not as aggressive as he was when he met with the people of Lu a few days ago, but he still wears his shirt and armor. Because the Jin army has returned to the country this time, he has to pass directly through the territory of Wei, and...

"By the way? Why are the two countries fighting so pretentiously, I have already asked Ziliang Sima to take Jijin again, and I should have succeeded by now. Although the guards are shrinking, the whole army should not leave, and swagger away. It is."

The counselor Fu Sou reluctantly advised: "This is just a step down for Wei Hou. If the lord sends someone to borrow the way, perhaps Wei Hou will push the boat and agree to reach a settlement with Jin. After all, Qi has been defeated, and Punan has been defeated. Still in the hands of a gentleman, he can use those four cities as threats to force Wei to surrender, which is also a great credit."

"Who said Qi Kingdom was defeated?"

On the security car behind, a hoarse voice laughed. It was the "Mr. Wu You" who had changed his appearance, had no hair and beard, took off his armor and put on a robe. He also wore a mask.

It is said that he was originally a commoner in the mountains, in his 40s, and made a living by crafting sang, hemp, and grains. Because of his ugly appearance, he did not want to be compared with ordinary people. Talented people make the best use of their talents to defect and are raised as guests.

Fu Sou frowned. Of course he knew the person's true identity, but even he had to admit it. The decisive style of disfiguring and swallowing charcoal is indeed shocking. This person has won the master's appreciation and sympathy, and he has gone a lot to be wary, and has already treated this "Mr. Wuyouzixu" as a serious one.

But he couldn't be defeated, so he retorted: "The Qi people collapsed in the snowfield, is this still not defeated?"

Yang Hu said: "Yes, although the Qi people lost a battle and more than 20,000 people died in the battle and the epidemic, they did not lose the entire war. The epidemic in Qi has no longer spread, and the Duke of Qi has even more He captured the big city Yiyi. Since then, the situation in Jin and Qi has reversed. If Weihou intends to surrender, he can send envoys to contact the Qi people when they retreated, but they first defeated the Cao people before returning to Puyang. The hostility to Jin is very obvious. So in my opinion, it is not so simple to want Wei to surrender without a fight."

Both of them are quite reasonable. Although Zhao Yang is inclined to the latter's opinion, he is still unable to decide. So the inquiring eyes turned to Zhao Wuxi.

"What do you think my son?"

This is related to Zhao's strategy for Wei, and Zhao Wuchen thought to himself: Nanzi's hope is to make Jin surrender to Wei, and then forcibly dissolve the marriage between Song and Wei, which Duke Huan of Qi also did in the past. But it was Cai Hou who married Cai Ji, who had quarreled with Duke Huan. It was caused by putting a green hat on the overlord, but it is not realistic now.

Besides, if it is according to Fu Sou's meaning. In exchange for Punan's request for peace, this is beneficial to Jin. There are also some benefits to Zhao's headquarters. But it is not good for Xilu, after losing Punan's depth. My caravan would not be able to pass through Onozawa, Pushui and Cao Kingdom. Compared with the nearly 1,000 casualties of military soldiers and soldiers and civilians, Xilu's economy was stagnant for several months because of the strong walls and clear fields. It is not worth it. !

So he said: "Doctor Fu is right, but unless all the four cities in Punan are returned, the boy thinks Weihou will not ask for peace, especially since Lei Ze-Lishan South has already promised Cao Guo, if he breaks his promise , I'm afraid it will ruin the opportunity for the next cooperation. Besides, Wei Guo continues to be an enemy of Jin, and his typhoid fever has not subsided, so he dare not attack Xilu, let alone threaten Jinyang, but it can make Chaoge and Handan dangerous. We can definitely make Fan Clan and Zhong Xing Clan face the flanking attack of Xian Yu and Wei, so we can just ignore it, why bother to pull out the thorns for the enemy with our own hands?"

Punan was now counted as an occupied area of ​​Jin, but he did not plan to enter Lu directly like Zhencheng, so Zhao Yang left Zhao Guangde and Wendi soldiers to assist Wu Xia in stationing.

Zhao Wuxi is reminding Fu Sou, don't forget, I also gave you Punan's fields as food fields!

Zhao Yang nodded, agreeing with Zhao Wuxi's opinion. And Fu Sou also understood it, and withdrew the clever trick in his opinion, and kept his mouth shut.

"That being the case, this time Zhao Bing is passing through Wei, and he doesn't need to take the route, let alone report it. Let the historian of Wei rewrite the word 'invasion' on the slip! I don't care."

Wuxi knew that the wars of the feudal lords in the Spring and Autumn period paid attention to the reputation of the teacher, so the description of the justice and rationality of the war is mainly divided into three types: where the teacher has a bell and drum, it is called attack, no one is called invasion, and light is called attack.

The expedition is a more formal war. It is carried out with great fanfare, and there are often certain excuses and procedures, such as condemnation.

And the invasion is to attack without notice, but also with the behavior of plundering the realm...

Zhao Yang's attitude towards Wei Guo is very obvious: Lao Tzu invaded you!

This time, when he returned to Jin State, in addition to taking 3,000 Qi prisoners as prisoners, he did not plunder some people from the densely populated guard land to enrich Jinyang. How could he be worthy of the loss and expense of sending troops?

With these, at least the retainer Yin Duo, who is in charge of financial expenditures, can be less verbose.

In the end, Zhao Yang began to drive Wu Xie back again. Although his son was only seventeen years old, he had already become a doctor in Siyi. . But in order to avoid repeating his arrogance when he was young, Zhao Yang also had to pour cold water on him.

So he said earnestly and earnestly: "Although the country is big, it will perish if it is warlike, not to mention you, a small doctor in Siyi? Just as the poem says, the people also stop working, and the people can be well-off. Last year's battle lasted half a year, and it was time to let The people are resting."

"only!"

Zhao Wuxi has self-knowledge, and it is too late to digest the territory in his hands. How can he expand blindly?

He continued to maintain a reluctant expression, no matter how urged by Zhao Yang, the farewell continued. Line after line. They even crossed the Weijing and arrived at the first village that Zhao Yang's striker had conquered. It was only here that Zhao Wuxi broke off the willow branch that was budding by the road and offered it to Zhao Yang.

"You have to say goodbye after a thousand miles. Dad, take care!"

Zhao Yang took the wicker and folded the willow to say goodbye in ancient times, just like the poem said: "In the past, I went, Yang Liu Yiyi, now I'm thinking, Yu Xue Fei Fei." It's just that Zhao Yang reversed it, winter is coming. And spring.

This thing was touching, and there was also a hint of worry on his face. I remember that my daughter Ji Ying would do the same thing every time I went on expeditions in the past. At that time, the young Wu Xie was still a cold and sullen son of a bitch, who would only hold a horsewhip by the side and watch timidly.

Over the years, they have grown up.

"Although like Yang... Zixuzi said, Qi was not completely defeated. But this time the Zhongxing clan lost a lot of ground, Fan clan and Handan not only did nothing, but also indulged the guards to attack me, and they all had the crime of defeating the army. The Zhao clan's great victory is real. Among them, you have captured Punan, cut off the Qi people's food supply, and captured the Qi's son Yangsheng. The reputation has spread all over Xintian. Zhuqing and their descendants and grandchildren are sure I will be even more afraid of you. The reason why I won more letters for you in Lu is also because of the constraints of the ministers, your return to the country. I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve after a year and a half. "

It was rare to see Zhao Yang, this iron-like man, showing a soft side, and Wu Xie was slightly taken aback. Trying not to let this body's own emotions control him, he bowed his head and bowed. The words are sincere: "The boy is spared, so although I am deeply worried and hungry and thirsty. But I am undecided, and I am resigned. I can wait, as long as my father and I work together, there is nothing that can't be done. !"

Zhao Yang was pleased: "Shan, it's good if you can think of it this way. I just hope that next time, we can meet in Zhao's Jinyang New Palace...and your elder sister, but I miss you!"

...

When Zhao Yang's car drove away and Zhao Wuxi was about to get back on his horse, "Mr. Wu You" in the safety car came over and took hold of his horse.

"Is something wrong, sir?"

Yang Hu has cut his own way back because of his disfigurement, and he has gained Zhao Yang's trust, "He can steal, I can defend!" The military commander in the Jin Kingdom was so confident that he didn't even send anyone to monitor Yang Hu to show that he had no doubts. Heart.

But Zhao Wuxi didn't have this confidence. On the one hand, he felt that returning to this era was a kind of "mission", but on the other hand, with the humility of an ordinary person, he did not dare to underestimate the people of this era. Wise men and villains.

For example, the disfigured tiger in front of him, he is tall and standing under the horse, but he can almost match Zhao Wuxi!

This ruthless man, the reason why Wu Xie was able to smother him at the beginning was also due to the situation in Lu, how could he not be careful.

The falcon, which is raised by hand, has to be left to peck its eyes!

Yang Hu said: "Gentleman, let's say goodbye now, but please listen to me, the enemy of the gentleman is not outside the country, but within the Xiaoqiang!"

"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Sanhuan was referring to him?"

This Wu Xie naturally knew that Qi Guo had just experienced a major defeat and encountered typhoid fever. I am afraid that within a few years, he would have to lick his wounds and would not be able to threaten Xilu. As soon as the foreign invaders go, according to the practice of the state of Lu, civil strife will begin.

The reason why Sanhuan could let him stretch his hand to Xuju and place Ran Qiu, on the one hand, probably thought that Ran Qiu was a disciple of Confucius and could be won. On the other hand, it was mostly because he was afraid of Zhao Yang's power. After Zhao Yang returned, he would be busy dealing with the migration of the main city to Jinyang. Across the Taihang Mountains, Sanhuan, who was bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, wanted to suppress and weaken the people in the east. No shirt.

Because he was too much in the limelight in the alignment war, and then playing the vertical and horizontal, the various strategies to defeat it are no longer easy to operate, and Wu Xie is likely to face the three-huan combined force xenophobia!

However, Yang Hu shook his head and said, "Sanhuan is just a chicken dog, what's the point? Among their conspirators, Shaozhengmao is just a man who follows the wind and speculates, and Gong Lianyang is also a guardian of the Meng family. Nothing to worry about.”

"Then who do you want me to watch out for?"

Even through the bronze mask, Wu Xie could see Yang Hu's grinning smile, and he had already guessed the answer he was about to say.

"There are two tigers in the mountain, and one must be injured. I'm talking about Kongqiu, Kong Zhongni!"

...

"Si Kou's biggest enemy in Lu is Confucius."

After saying this, Yang Hu began to observe Zhao Wuxi's expression with interest.

Zhao Wuxi kept saying that he was going to return to the country, which was true. Yang Hu could understand this little gentleman. He has always been "the sky is strong, and the gentleman is self-improvement." What I am waiting for is not the pardon of the Marquis of Jin and the ministers, or even the help of Zhao Yang, but the desire to establish his own power in the state of Lu, and finally return to the country with the help of the army!

As for the purpose of Confucius, Yanghu is more clear. He wants to strengthen the monarchy in the state of Lu, implement rituals and music, and restore the ancient rituals of Zhou.

Both are tough-minded, but their ambitions naturally conflict.

Yang Hu knows best, but this is a game of power, this is a contest between kleptocrats and those who maintain rituals and music. If you don't win, you can only become a lost dog!

There is no middle way to go!

The conflict and the unhappy parting at the Yuncheng meeting~www.wuxiahere.com~ Yanghu has heard about it, this is just a harbinger, but unfortunately he was busy cutting his face and couldn't come in person... In short, even if he is in the future In the state of Jin, he was still looking forward to a fight between the two people he "cultivated".

It's a pity that he couldn't see it with his own eyes. He looked forward to seeing stunned and hesitant on Zhao Wuxi's face. After they were completely hostile to Confucius, their past chatting and praising each other would turn into satirical jokes, and what would happen to the Confucian disciples who were working for Zhao Wuxi?

Betrayal, embarrassment, fighting, these encounters are not the only ones he has experienced?

But to Yang Hu's disappointment, Zhao Wuxi was only silent for a moment, and then sighed.

"I know it!" (To be continued..)
