Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 317: The Turn of October (Part 1)

The Tiger Society was originally a new chivalrous chivalrous man, and Jin Qing Zhao Yang was a good supporter, so he was selected into the ranks of retainers by relying on the flying halberd of ten shots and nine middle schools within thirty steps with one hand. After several years of experience, he was gradually able to serve Zhao Yangche. later, but still inconspicuous. (Baidu search to force literature network to update the fastest and most stable)

It wasn't until after a strong admonition to "stop pushing the cart" on Yangchangzhang that Zhao Yang gradually stopped treating him as a man. First, he was promoted to the two Sima of the personal guard, accompanied Zhao Yang on many expeditions and made meritorious deeds, and was also the commander of the pawns. Finally, he was left in Pubei and made him a minister of Zhao Wuxi.

Although the Tiger Society is usually carefree and has a good relationship with the old team of Zhao Wuxi's military soldiers such as Tian Ben and Mu Xia, they still have a sense of balance in their hearts. He knew that although he had a high title and seniority in the Zhao clan, he was still a newcomer when he arrived at Zhao Wuxi, and being promoted to Sima in Linqiu was already a great blessing.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wuxi suddenly called him here today. Apart from the Tiger Association, there was only Wu Xie's counselor, Meng Tan, which made him a little sincere and frightened, because Linqiu's top leader, Yizai and overseas Chinese were not allowed to participate. This secret talk.

"Hu Sima don't have to worry too much. As the saying goes, chickens keep the night, raccoons catch mice, and if they are not in their positions, they will not seek their government. Ji Yi is in charge of government affairs, because it does not involve follow-up matters, so there is no need to participate, while Hu Sima has The task is related to this, so you are invited to come, please sit down."

On the other hand, Zhao Wuxi saw Huhui's uneasy expression as usual, so he comforted him like this.

So, in the hall of Yi Temple in Linqiu City, under the flickering bronze lamp stand, three figures were sitting in empty seats, their voices low, and they were gathering together to plan something.

"This is what Yang Hu asked Feng Rin to bring." Zhao Wuxi pushed the lacquer plate containing the bamboo slips over.

"On the fourth day of the first lunar month in winter, will I worship the ancestors of the Lu Kingdom in the temple and pray for him?" Zhang Meng, who was wearing a white robe and a cloth crown, rushed to Linqiu from Zhenyi immediately after receiving the news of Zhao Wuxi. Looking at the small print on the slip, he smiled.

"Is this an invitation?" Hu Hui asked.

"This is not only an invitation, but also a signal to the doctor. It is also the date of the chaos in Lucheng..." Zhang Mengtan's tone was firm and unequivocal.

Huhui's complexion changed slightly after hearing the words, although he had some understanding of the situation of Zhao Wuxi's forces in the state of Lu. But only know about. What's more, he specializes in military affairs, and is not good at those plots and plots. Now that I know this, I just feel that the entire Lu country seems to be changing!

Indeed, in recent months, judging from various signs, the ambition of Yang Hu and others to replace San Huan has become clear, and the contradiction between the two forces has gradually surfaced.

On the one hand, Sanhuan, headed by the Meng clan, was unwilling to be overridden by Yanghu, and began to fight back desperately, winning over Zhao Wuxi in the hope of being sheltered by the Zhao clan of Jin. And Yanghu is also ready to fight against Sanhuan. To win over Zhao Wuxi to join the group, so that the Zhao clan of the Jin Kingdom will recognize the established facts at that time.

Zhao Wuxi spread out the map and looked at the cities and roads above: "I have already asked Zihua, according to the old customs of the Lu Kingdom, on the first day of the October lunar month in winter, sacrifice to the ancestors and offer food and prayers in the order of ascending the throne. On the second day of the first day, a large-scale sacrifice will be held in the temple of Xigong; A concentrated event."

Zhang Mengtan pointed to Pupu, a small garden near the State of Lu, and said, "If that's the case, if Meng Tan's guess is right. Yanghu may start here on the third day of the junior high school!"

"It should be like this. Although Yanghu has sufficient troops, he has not received the support of the people of the country. He was a little unconfident about this operation, so he invited me into Lucheng to 'be a witness'. It would be better if he could lead troops. Interestingly, Meng Shi also asked Zifu He to send an invitation to invite me to the meeting that day."

After Hu Hui was shocked, he also began to think, and he asked again, "Has San Huan been aware of the danger?"

Wu Xie said: "Judging from the correspondence between me and Zifuhe, Meng's family Sima is suspicious, but the exact date cannot be determined. They are not strong enough, and unless they mobilize the Chinese, they will be at a disadvantage, so they invited me to join. Lucheng. He also instructed him to bring soldiers. First, he could use the Zhao clan's military soldiers whom Zifu He had praised in front of Meng to strengthen his soldiers, and secondly, Yanghu wanted to throw a rat and was afraid of weapons, so he didn't dare to act rashly."

Hu Hui calculated with his fingers: "It's the end of September now, and it's less than ten days before the turn of October. Assembling soldiers day and night may be able to catch up with this grand event. Should the doctor go, or not? go?"

Zhao Wuxi raised the jug, poured a freshly brewed light Lu wine for everyone present, and then held it under his nose to smell it carefully.

"This is a thin wine made from Zhendi Xinmi. Although the taste is not as good as that of Xinjiang Mizi wine, it is a piece of the heart of the people of the country. Now that the new policies in the two cities have been implemented, the officials have performed their duties, and people's hearts have gradually become more stable. There is Onozawa. The pirates are on the side, and the disarmed clans can only choose to rely on us, so at this time, I want to go to Lucheng to get chestnuts from the fire!"

Huhui said: "The doctor is going, and the minister has something to ask. Has the doctor already thought about who to help, Sanhuan? Yanghu?"

In the past few months, Zhao Wuxi has only discussed with the counselor on everything related to this matter, and has never summoned anyone to accompany him. Now that I let myself, the third party, come in, I have probably made a decision to arrange follow-up matters.

"It's about Linqiu's defense focus on Yuncheng, so the minister has to ask, and ask the doctor to forgive him."

In this way, Hu Hui's strong remonstrance was revealed. He seemed to be carefree, but in fact he was as careful as a hair. Yuncheng's uncle, Sun Zhi, is the party of Yanghu. If Zhao Wuxi and Yanghu are enemies, then Linqiu must be careful to guard against the east neighbor.

"It's okay, I originally wanted to inform Hu Sima."

Zhao Wuxi got up and paced the empty hall.

"I told Sima Ming today that Zhang Zi once analyzed my situation in the State of Lu, which is similar to that of Master Chen, who came to Qi from the State of Chen, but Chen Wan was able to resign from the post of minister granted by Duke Huan of Qi and dormant for a while in the position of Gongzheng. Hundred years. It was only when Chen Wenzi and Chen Huanzi started to attack, and a world was created among Guo, Gao, Erhui, Bao, Cui, and Qing. I am a very impatient person. If I want to successfully return to Jin, I cannot After a few generations, we must even achieve some achievements and gain some authority and strength within three to five years!"

Zhang Mengtan smiled and nodded: "Of course, although the Chen family is insidious and deceitful, their approach of growing stronger in Qi is worth learning from."

"Indeed, I know that the biggest enemies in the next few years may be the Qi State and the Chen clan on the side of the couch, so I pay a lot of attention to the history of this family, and I borrowed a few volumes of Qi's "Spring and Autumn" from Confucius. , Second and third sons, would you like to hear my experience in reading history?"

Zhang Mengtan and Hu Hui bowed down and said, "I would like to hear the details."

"Forty years ago, Qi Qing Qingfeng ruled the state alone, causing dissatisfaction with Gongsun and all the clans of Qi. Taking advantage of Qingfeng's hunting trip, the two grandsons of Qi Huigong, Ziya (Gongsun Zao) and Ziwei (Gongsun Yan) ) ready to stage a coup to remove the Ching clan.”

"In this coup, Chen Wuyu, who was originally inconspicuous, played such a role. First, he joined the Qing clan and won their trust. On the other hand, he secretly moved closer to the Qing forces. When accompanying Qingfeng on the hunt, he lied. Said that his mother had died, and ran back to Linzi from Donglai crying, but after drying his tears, he took the Chen family soldiers to participate in the coup, attacked and killed Qingfeng's son, and seized control of Linzi. Qingfeng hurried back to the country. All, but it was too late, so I had to go into exile in Wu."

"With this credit, the Chen family has risen from a humble clan to the ranks of real-power doctors and won the lordship. In just 40 years, it has grown to the level it is today."

"My thoughts, Hu Sima can understand?"

The Tiger Association is not stupid, and when it comes to this, it is immediately clear.

Zhao Wuxi raised his wine cup to talk to Zhang Meng about a toast: "During Wu Xie's absence, Zhang Zi is the leader of government affairs, please!" After saying that, he drank it all.

Zhang Mengtan paid his respects again: "The ministers and others will definitely defend this hard-earned foundation for the doctor!"

The wine cup refilled in Wu Xie's hand turned to the Tiger Association: "As for Hu Sima, I will immediately hand over the defense of Linqiu to the deputy Sima. I have other important tasks for you to do..."

...

After this, Zhao Wuxi convened another military meeting, and military officials above the **** chief were able to attend the meeting.

"There are 1,100 soldiers in Zhendi and 1,100 soldiers in Ting, 1,300 in Linqiu, 700 soldiers, and 100 recruited from the refugees, for a total of 3,200. In this way, these two cities are already The limit is reached, and it is only possible to achieve this level under the fear of pirates and the Shiwu system. And it can only be maintained until the beginning of the spring, and most of the levies must be disbanded and returned to the fields..."

This is also the reason for the periodicity and unsustainability of wars. All rulers from ancient times to the present have not been able to solve this problem well. It was not until the Warring States period that the organization and control of the localities were strengthened and the proportion of recruits increased that the years-long fierce battles became common.

"During my departure, the Zhenjiang will be stationed with 100 crossbow soldiers, 600 city soldiers, and pavilion soldiers, and Yang Tongrong will be solely responsible for it."

"Linqiu will leave 1,000 people, the core of which is still 100 crossbow soldiers, and most of the rest are Ting pawns. Wu Jing and Su Shouyu are jointly responsible."

In the New Deal, Zhao Wuxi thought about it, but he still picked the stable Wu Jing from the military pawns and let him stay in Linqiu as the deputy Sima.

Compared with attacking, crossbowmen are better at defending the city. This mysterious unit is also a deterrent to newly conquered territories~lightnovelpub.net~ Therefore, Zhao Wuxi intends to take away only 1500 people this time, and he is the coach. , the Tiger Association is the deputy, the military pawns are the main force, and the Linqiu Yi soldiers are the auxiliary.

Three days later, when the departure was imminent, more than a dozen **** flags with different embroidery fluttered in the suburbs of Linqiu City.

After making a round of inspection, Zhao Wuxi said to the military officials, "The second and third sons have all accomplished something, but the one who is most worthy of honor today is the new recruit who has been trained by Ziyou!"

For a time, more than a thousand eyes were focused on the low-key Ran Qiu, and the new recruit behind him! (To be continued)
