Spring and Autumn I Am King

PS: It's late again... Sorry, please recommend a ticket. ? w.suimeng.lā

Dong'e is located on the Heji Plain. This area is bounded by Taidai and Heji. To the south, you can approach the State of Lu, and to the west, you can connect to the State of Wei. It is also the base camp of the Qi army that fought against Lu.

Qihou Chujiu, wearing a high crown and fur coat, is obviously much thinner than a few years ago. His ruddy complexion has turned brown, and his hunchback has become more and more obvious. After all, he was an old man in his sixties, and his famous generals Sima Rangju and Yan Ying died one after another, so Qihou always felt that Si Ming would also come to hook his soul at any time.

Walking around, seeing the flourishing flowers and plants in the Dong'e Palace, he couldn't help sighing: "What a beautiful palace! Yu Yu Zhen Zhen, I don't know if the widow will still enjoy the honor of the princes in Huangquan after the death of the widow!"

With the approaching of old age, he would occasionally feel self-inflicted and weep, but Yan Ying was no longer by his side. The bitter irony of "My lord will stand in the acre and work **** farming", there are only the flattery of ministers. For a time, the surrounding ministers, such as Dr. A, all said that the President of Qi Hou was a hundred years old, and even an alchemist from the seaside area presented by Chen took the opportunity to say that he could go to sea by boat and go to the legendary Sanxian Mountain to ask for the elixir of immortality for Qi Hou. .

"Can people really not die? If Gu can not die, then there is a little more hope to seize the hegemony while alive!"

After returning from the defeat in the snowfield, perhaps he caught cold and was frightened at the time. Qi Hou felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he would feel cold all over on a hot day. Enjoy the concubine in the palace, and summon the courage to plot your own "domination"!

Qi lost nearly 20,000 troops in the battle against Yiyi and Xueyuan. This made Qi Hou Chujiu not dare to recruit troops for four years, he endured the Song Rebellion, he was powerless to intervene in the Lu Rebellion, and the lords of Si Shang had to give up one by one. It was not until last year that the Zhao clan was involved in the civil war of the various ministers of the Jin state and transferred most of the soldiers from Ludi, that the Marquis of Qi saw the long-lost opportunity.

"This time, what Zhao Wuxi has to face is no longer Qi. It's the whole world!"

Fighting against the wall and pushing the crowd, the emboldened Qi Hou joined the anti-Zhao alliance and began to harass the state of Lu. Qi Qing Gao Zhang had vowed to analyze him, saying that this war should last a long time. Therefore, it can be slowly planned, using the offensive of the autumn harvest to weaken the power of the state of Lu, and nibble it again the following year, so as to drive the power of the Zhao family out of the state of Lu and support the restoration of the state of Sanhuan in the state of Lu. You can continue to go west and encircle the main force of the Zhao clan with the ministers of Jin.

This is in line with Qi Hou's prudent psychology, so the Qi army fought this war extremely conservatively.

However, Zhao's fast-paced wave made their plan unsuccessful. This side has just started the spring offensive against Lu, while Fan, Bank of China, and Handan have already been defeated. Zhao's troops marched eastward without hesitation and began to besiege Weiguo. !

In the face of Wei Houyuan's rescue, Qihou Chujiu hesitated for a long time, unable to make a choice, and sent letters to his two important ministers, Chen Qi and Guo Xia, asking for the opinions of the two coaches in the west and the south.

soon. Erqing's reply came into the hands of Qihou.

"Chen Qing proposed to save the guards!" Qi Hou was shocked.

The officials and nobles around Qihou looked at each other, what was Chen's idea?

After reading the letter, the Duke of Qi said: "Chen Qing believes that the vassals only serve Qi for the sake of defending Qi, and if they do not even save the country of Wei, the country of Qi will completely lose all its friends. What's more, the great trouble of the country of Qi lies in Zhao and not in Lu. If Wei is defeated, Dong'e, Pingyin, and Yiyi will all be under its edge, so Wei must be saved. He also said good news. He said that Chen Heng had led his army to cross the river westward and attacked the Zhao family's Handan city. , this enemy will be saved. If the Zhao family returns to the teacher, even if the Chen family will be smashed to pieces, we must hold back his footsteps and let the widows feel at ease and take all the Lu kingdom..."

After reading this, Qi Hou couldn't help but put down the letter and exclaimed: "Okay! Although Xiao Chen Heng is young, he has the courage to be a loyal minister. Chen's father and son are always thinking about the country, they are really loyal ministers!"

The doctor of Qi and the generals below stared wide-eyed, disapproving of Qihou's praise. In fact, any person with a little wisdom can guess what Chen's is doing. It's just that some people are still pretending to be confused, or is the game between princes and officials so hypocritical?

Chen Qi also appealed at the end: "If the Zhao family does not return to the division, the dog has a plan: I hope that your superior can lead the army westward, and attack the Zhao family between the mulberry and Pushang with the servants!"

I don't know who wrote this letter, but it was written so passionately that even Dr. Ah couldn't help but admire Chen's faithfulness. In addition, there is a lot of practical analysis in the letter. Chen Qi said that according to the investigation of his spies, the troops brought by Zhao Wuxi were not many, about 20,000 people, half of them from newly occupied areas such as Hanoi and Hebei. The conscripted laborers are not considered combat power. They can be used to work when sieging cities, but in real field battles, they can only be gully fillers, which is not a cause for concern.

This information refreshed Qi Hou Chujiu's spirit, and he calculated with his fingers that he could allocate 40,000 people to move westward, including the soldiers of the city, the public army, and the private soldiers of Guo, Gao, Bao, and Yan. Out of nearly 20,000 people, the Diqiu defenders had an absolute advantage over Zhao Wuxi!

However, if he went to the west to rescue the guards, he would collide with Zhao Wuxi head-on, and it would be difficult for Qi Hou not to remember the past.

He had a vivid memory of the battle in the snowfield, that winter was really cold, and in addition to his car, the image of the boy who immediately held a spear was also lingering in his mind. For this reason, Qihou has a shadow on the field battle with Zhao Jun, and at the same time hopes to have the opportunity to wash away his shame.

Qi Hou was still thinking that the defeat was the result of his inability to command the army. What if Guoxia, who is good at military warfare, should be commanded this time? Maybe win.

"Didn't Duke Huan of Qi also fight in the Battle of the Long Spoon? But after that, he won five battles against Lu and directly attacked the city of Qufu. If it wasn't for Cao Mo's alliance, perhaps Lu would have ceded even Mount Tai!"

In the end, he comforted himself so much, and with a hint of wanting to go west, Qihou opened the urgent message sent by Guoxia again. My heart suddenly cooled down, Guoxia's suggestion was the exact opposite of Chen Qi's!

...

"The prince suggested to capture Xilu first, and then plan to go west to save the defenders..."

When he said these words, Qi Hou obviously felt that the doctors below were slightly relieved, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Are Qi people afraid that Zhao's family is like this?

However, Guoxia's reason is also very good: "The Zhao family's siege is because the situation in Lu is critical, and they want to induce the Qi army to move westward. Such a general situation has been completed, and the servants only need one month to attack. Go to Yuncheng and cut off the connection between the Zhao army and the state of Lu. At that time, it will take more than a month to attack Qufu and alienate the doctor of the state of Lu. The ownerless state of Lu will surely collapse, and it will not be too late to go west to save the defenders."

Guo Xia and Chen Qi both had reasons. For a time, Qi Hou was caught in a tangle. He just wished Qi Guo could recruit more than ten or ten thousand troops. In that case, they could be divided into two, and both sides could not let go.

He paced back and forth in the palace, asking Shuren every once in a while, "Where is Baozi?"

Bao Zi is Bao Mu, one of the four ministers of Qi.

Facing the strategic differences between Chen and Guo Erqing, Qi Hou was a little undecided, so he wanted to hear Bao Mu's suggestion, a neutral suggestion.

After waiting for a while, Bao Mu finally came. Although he was a new minister, he was not young. He was nearly sixty years old. He also blamed his father, Bao Guotai, for being able to live until he was ninety years old. Bao Mu had to wait. Hair turned white.

After he succeeded to the throne, he was in charge of the diplomacy with the princes. Now that the army of Qi is out, the princes of Qi have also arrived at the front line. In Linzi, Gao Zhang is staying behind, and Bao Mu is running everywhere, contacting princes and princes who can be won by the princes of Qi. doctor.

Because if you want to win the war, you have to rely not only on the spear, but also on the brushes and silk, as well as the three-inch tongue of the lobbyist!

Bao Mu had just returned from out of town, and he had just stepped into the palace. Facing the question of Qihou, Bao Mu solemnly bowed to him: "This servant does not understand military affairs, so how can you talk nonsense? On behalf of Your Majesty, I received a distinguished guest from a foreign country, and he also came to Dong'e with me. The authorities are obsessed, and the onlookers are clear. This distinguished guest is also a person who is well versed in military strategy. Your Majesty might as well meet him and ask his opinion, how about it?"

"Guests from foreign countries?" Qi Hou scratched his head and thought about it. The older he is, the worse his memory will be.

After a while, a strange color bloomed in his eyes, and he almost jumped up: "The widow remembers, Baozi once mentioned to me, could it be 'he'?"

"It's 'he'! Would your Majesty want to see him?"

"See! Such a genius of the world, naturally I want to see you!" Qi Hou was very happy, he looked down at his regular clothes, frowned immediately, and quickly asked Shuren to help him change into the solemn court clothes, for fear that he would do whatever he wanted. His attitude made the distinguished guest dissatisfied. Such great talents are very proud, and they must be polite and corporal.

He had just fixed Xuan Duan on his hair bun, and the sing-along from the outsiders and the guards came in. Bao Mu had already led the guest to the courtyard door!

Qi Hou quickly fastened the silk belt, and carefully tidied up the bottom of his shirt in front of the bronze mirror~www.wuxiahere.com~ Then he put on a strong smile and went out to greet him in person.

Bao Mu just walked in. He walked slightly forward as the referrer, and behind him was a tall, firm-footed doctor with an old-fashioned face.

Qi Hou couldn't take his eyes away with just one glance. This person is too unique. The most interesting thing is that although his face is about ten years younger than Bao Mu, under the crown, he is full of pale hair. !

The footsteps of the two stopped twenty steps in front of Qi Hou. When they saw Qi Hou, the white-haired doctor's expression did not change at all, as if he was used to seeing the wind and waves as calm. He wrapped his hands in his wide sleeves and waited to pay homage. In the face of a prince with seven lives like Qihou, the one who could not come to bow down to the head first, at least a minister! And he is also the Minister of a great country!

And Bao Mu took a step forward and made a recommendation for the two.

"Doctor, this is the uncle of the Zhou family. The territory extends to the sea in the east, the river in the west, the Muling in the south, and Wudi in the north. In the Eastern Kingdom, the ruler of Qi who can conquer Houbo's expedition!"

He pointed at the white-haired doctor again and said, "Your Majesty, this is the son of the Wu Kingdom, who commanded the Wu army to destroy Xu, destroy Chu, destroy the capital of Ying, and excavate King Chu Ping's tomb and whip his body!" continued.)
