In the ninth year of the Marquis of Jin, three days before the winter solstice, the palace of the Fan family.

The Fan clan has been inherited since the Tao and Tang clan. In the Xia Dynasty, it was the Liu Leiyulong clan, in the Shang Dynasty it was the uncle Chang Boi Wei clan, and in the Zhou period it was the Tang Du clan.

This family is ancient and splendid, with profound cultural heritage and capable people from generation to generation. After Xiameng, the master of Jin, from Fan Wuzi, Wenzi, Xuanzi to today's Fan Yang, after a hundred years of accumulation, it is even more powerful and prosperous. Moreover, the head of the family is quite long-lived, which occupied a great advantage in the Jin state, which implemented the politics of the elderly and ranked seniority in terms of seniority.

At this time, the hunting ground outside Fan's Palace was already withered and withered. After Fan Yang returned from Chaoge, in order to show his old age, he held a special winter hunt. The hunting results were quite fruitful. Fan Yang also shot an elk personally. .

When Fan Jishe, who stayed at Xinjiang's mansion, came to the premises outside the hunting grounds with a letter from Zhao's family inviting him to the banquet, Fan Yang was still wearing his military uniform, watching the cook with his hands behind his back to cut the deer with copper.

Fan Yang was over eighty years old, tall and slender, with broad shoulders and gray hair, but after gaining the authority of one person under ten thousand people in Jin, his spirit became more and more tough.

Fan Jishe looks very similar to Fan Yang, he is extremely intelligent, but he lacks the heroic temperament of Fan Yang.

He said respectfully, "Boy + I heard that my father was riding a bicycle to shoot and hunt. The weather was cold and windy, and my father is already old, so please be careful."

But Fan Yang disagreed: "A month ago, Mrs. Fan made concessions to Mrs. Zhao. If I don't show up again and let everyone see that I am in good health, maybe in a few days, the rumors that I am getting old and dying will disappear. Spread the word everywhere!"

He pointed to being cramped and peeled in the nimble hands of the cook. The elk who took its horns and bones said: "Nowadays, Jin is like a deer being slaughtered. Liuqing is a wolf with six tails in the mountains. Although there are Qi and Zheng Hubao staring at him, Liuqing cannot Inconsistent to the outside world. But if anyone shows weakness internally, it will cause others to covet. That was the case with the Zhao family a few days ago...Unfortunately, they were able to survive. ."

Fan Jishe waited for him to finish before presenting the slip: "Father, this is the invitation from the Zhao family. It is said that he will hold a crown ceremony for the shy son Wu-shirt in the lower palace. Please come to watch the ceremony."

"Guanli? If I remember correctly, Zhao Wuxi is only fourteen or fifteen years old, even younger than Ajia and Ahe. It seems that Zhao Meng's choice for the prince has been decided... They can invite us there, it seems that It is true that there is a heart for reconciliation, what are the attitudes of the rest of the ministers?"

"As for the Han family, Han Buxin, Han Shen, and even the small sects will all go to support Zhao Meng."

Fan Yang commented: "Zhao's Bolu is about to lose his position as the heir. Although Han Buxin is still close to Zhao on the surface, it is unknown what he thinks in his heart. Perhaps the day when Zhao's choice of the heir is unknown. , is when Zhao and Han are increasingly estranged... If I guessed correctly, Zhibo and Wei Lu (character Manduo) will also be close to each other?"

Zhisong upholds the way of the highest good as water. There is no obvious hostile relationship with the other five ministers, and naturally they will not make enemies. On the other hand, the Wei family has never dealt with the Fan family, and is relatively close to the Zhi family, the Zhao family, and the Han family.

"What my father said is not bad. Only Bo Xingbo claimed to be ill, and he didn't go because of illness."

Fan Yang sneered and said, "This incident. On the contrary, the Bank of China suffered the most damage, not to mention the defeat of the Bank of China soldiers. Luliang's group of thieves were also wiped out and scattered, and the pheasants were not successful, but they lost a handful of corn. I am afraid he has quite a complaint against me. ."

"Then shall we go or not?"

"This crown ceremony is equivalent to the reconciliation of the six ministers. If Mrs. Fan still wants to be the head of the ministers of Jin, someone must go there. In this case, you stay at home, and the old man will visit in person."

Fan Jishe's face changed slightly: "Father, why don't you just go with your son, although Fan Zhao has been hostile in recent years, but earlier, the son had some friendship with Zhao Meng... The scheming Dong An Yushang is in Xinjiang. , What if he and Zhao Meng were wicked and courageous, and attacked his father brazenly during the ceremony, what should he do?"

"You're actually worried about this?"

Fan Yang glanced at Fan Jishe with some dissatisfaction.

"It is easy to do fraudulent things", this is Fan Yang's assessment of his youngest son, Fan Jishe, who has passed away. He looks at others and likes to use a deceitful eye. He suggested to win over Handan before, and this was the case when he sent troops to attack Zhao's territory outside Taihang.

"I have made up my mind, if I can exchange the old man's dying life for the charge of Zhao's first rebellion, it would be worth it... Besides, the half army of Wei's army, Chen Yuxinjiang, wanted to help Luan Ying cause the chaos, and the old man dared to go alone. , with a copper knife, you can hold the warrior Wei Shu hostage, and force him anyway, what is the matter of a trip to the top of the Zhao family?"

He sighed inwardly, if he passed away, neither his son nor Zhong Xingyin would be Zhao Meng's opponents, and his grandson Ajia Ahe would not be inferior to Zhao's son Wuxi!

Fan Jia was moved to Chaoge by Fan Yang because of his involvement in this matter, and promised not to return to Xinjiang for three years, waiting for the impact of the conflict to cool down.

When hitting someone, he needed to retract his hand. Although he reconciled with the Zhao family on the bright side, Fan Yang never let go of his desire to weaken the enemy. Today, it is extremely difficult to destroy or dismember the Zhao family before he is alive, but it is still feasible to plan for long-term things.

After returning to Xinjiang, Fan Yang sent people to collect all the information about Zhao's concubine Wu Xian. He has become more and more afraid of this rising Zhao's Xinyang, even more than Zhao Yang. alert.

We have to find a way to get rid of this son, and we can't let him become the head of the Zhao family! However, Zhao's side is watching closely, so Fan's action cannot be taken personally.

"Some victories depend on armour, and some victories depend on the exchanges between Yan Yan and Jianshu..."

Fan Yang taught his son in this way, and then asked people to prepare slips and pen and ink, and he wanted to write a letter to a "friend's son" in the distance.

After Fan Jishe personally served and polished the ink, Fan Yang supported the slightly trembling right hand with his left hand, and wrote on the turquoise pamphlet: "Gao Tang Chenzi personally opened, and Jin Shangjun Fan Yang paid his respects again. …”

...

"Tomorrow will be the winter solstice, and now the state of Qi invades Lu and is stationed outside Yundi and Yangguan. The state of Lu uses the weekly calendar, with the sub-month as the beginning of the year. Once the winter solstice passes, it will be the second year. Qi people According to common sense guesses. We Lu people will celebrate the New Year, and we will not be able to retreat. If we launch a night attack at this time, the other party will be caught off guard, and we can break it!"

"Night attack? Why not use an upright teacher to control it?"

"Da Situ and Da Sima are joking? I am a small state, and Qi is a big country. Since the time of Duke Zhuang, when Cao Gui argued and defeated the Qi army with a long spoon and three drums, how can we Lu people not use some means to fight against the big country? contend?"

Lu Guoyangguan, night is coming. Thousands of soldiers gathered in the open space outside the city one after another. A tall, armored general stands on the chariot, and analyzes the battle arrogantly.

If Zigong was here, he would surely notice that his appearance was somewhat similar to that of his master Kongqiu.

Similar; and if Zhao Wuxi was here, he would feel it. This person's eyes and temperament are somewhat in line with Zhao Yang, they are like a dormant tiger!

Most of the officials around him who were also wearing armor were against it, but they were robbed by Hu Shi. He became submissive and seemed to be very afraid of him.

"Stop talking, we'll lead the troops here. We raided the Qi army camp, they arrived yesterday. At this time, the camp must be unstable and the position is not stable. You can go down in one fell swoop!"

The tiger man, who looked like the commander of the whole army, turned around, but instead of standing in the center of the drum cart, holding the drumstick flag, he sat in the position of the charioteer.

It turned out that he was just the master of this car!

Hu Shi picked up the eight bridles (pei), squinted at a middle-aged man dressed as a gentleman under the car, and said, "Da Situ, why don't you come up?"

The middle-aged gentleman known as the Great Situ twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth and clenched his fists. He didn't want to go, but he could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart. Before the drum stand—in theory, he was the commander of the battle.

The position of the middle-aged gentleman is more noble, and the tiger who drives the car should be just his entourage, but anyone can see that this carriage has already been top-heavy, and the superiority has been reversed!

That gentleman was the minister of Lu State, Ji Sunsi, the head of the "Three Huan", and the tiger who drove the car was the slaughter of Jisun's family, Yang Hu, who accompanies his ministers and runs the country's life!

Three years ago, in the fifth year of Lu Hou Song (Lu Dinggong), Ji Pingzi, the old head of the Ji Sun family, passed away. Yang Hu, a retainer with real power and ambition, took the opportunity to cause chaos, sent troops to imprison Ji Sunsi, forced him to make blood alliances, and agreed to let Yang Hu take charge of housekeeping before he was released.

Last year, Yanghu went a step further. He took power over the state of Lu, forcing the monarch, Sanhuan, and the people of Qufu to swear an oath in the Boshe Society, and cursed at the Qu (qu) of the Five Fathers, and officially took charge of the state affairs of the state of Lu.

Since Yang Hu considered himself Prime Minister Lu, he also rushed to do things such as alliances and wars in order to gain prestige for himself at home and abroad.

In the autumn, Qihou and Zhengbo were in the Weiguo alliance, and they issued orders to the neighboring countries, inviting them to go to the alliance and swear to respect Qihou as the new overlord and jointly oppose Jin.

However, the State of Lu has always been hostile to the State of Qi, and the two sides have fought dozens of battles in the past two hundred years, so they are very wary of this strong neighbor and prefer to be friendly with the State of Jin. Last year, Yang Hu also led troops to respond to the call of Jin State and attacked Zheng State, who had betrayed the alliance, so he and San Huanyi naturally declined the invitation.

Therefore, in this alliance meeting of the Marquis of Qi, all the princes of Zheng, Wei, Beiyan, Ju, Zhu and so on obeyed and sent people to join them. Only Lu and Song did not arrive. Qi Hou was furious, and after Wei surrendered, he decided to send troops first to force Lu, which was located in the rear of Qi, to surrender, and then move westward to compete with Jin for hegemony.

Therefore, the Shangqing Kingdom attacked Lu in Xia and reached Yangguan, and today Yanghu led an army to defend against the enemy and wanted to take advantage of the plan to attack the Qi army on the eve of the winter solstice.

Yang Hu looked at Lu Jun who was walking slowly, and thought to himself, "The Marquis of Qi did not send Chen Qi to lead the army, but sent a Guo Xia who was entering the battle for the first time. We have a better chance of winning!"

The Lu army died down, and after leaving Yangguan, they divided their troops into two groups, and quietly headed north under the cover of night.

Yang Hu was good at using troops, he first sent some people to be the front refusal, while the army followed. The road to the west is naturally Yanghu and Ji Sunsi, while the road to the east is the family soldiers of the Mengsun clan.

The Mengsun clan strongly opposed Yanghu's night attack.

Now, among the three kingdoms of Lu, Jisun and Shusun have both moved down from power and are governed by their accomplices. Only the head of the Mengsun clan still has some prestige and can keep his vassals loyal.

After Mengsun's master, Gong Lianchufu, and the head of the family, Mengsun Heji, whispered, they drove to catch up with Yanghu. A few steps away, while manipulating the horse, he said to Yang Hu: "Does Yangzi know that the ruler of Qi, who was attacking Lu, is a member of Guo Xia? Your Majesty."

In this regard, Yang Hu smiled contemptuously: "Shangqing? What about Shangqing, the lords and the lords can take care of the sacrifices, and the political and military affairs can be left to our villains."

He came from a humble background, and his ancestors were only a descendant of the Mengsun clan. Although he called himself a villain, he was quite proud.

Ji Sun Siming, who was behind Yang Hu, knew that he was mocking himself, but he did not dare to say anything, but Rong Youyi (shan) Yi, who had always been loyal to Ji Sun, was angry. Holding the halberd, he stared at Yanghu's back vest, just wanting to stab the scoundrel to death with a halberd, but was stopped by Ji Sunsi with a quick wink.

Yanghu is extremely capable, and his party members are all over the country of Lu, and his own skills are also the best of the three armies. If a sudden attack occurs, maybe not only will he not be killed, but Ji Sunsi himself will be killed...

Gong Lian Chu's father shook his head and said: "Yangzi~lightnovelpub.net~ I think Guoxia should not be taken lightly, not because of his noble status, but because of his subordinates, all of which are the skills of the famous general Sima Rangju. Soldiers, I also heard that there are three quite brave warriors among them."

Yanghu loves talents, and in order to gain the reputation of replacing Sanhuan and become the real Prime Minister of Lu, he has promoted many talents in the country, such as Confucius, etc. Some poor Chinese savages are also willing to serve him. When I heard the word "Mengshi", I became interested and asked who they were?

Gong Lian Chufu said: "These three people are famous for their bravery and strength, they are Gongsun Jie, Gu Yezi, and Tian Kaijiang!" (To be continued..)
