Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 385: Shil Bow

PS: Today is the first, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be two shifts, double eleven and three shifts

"It's still good in ancient times. A gentleman is not seriously injured, he is not a bird, and he does not rely on dangerous barriers to fight. www.geiliwx.com At that time, he could not run for a hundred paces in victory, and he could not survive even if he was defeated. They are people who teach etiquette. They also sympathize with the enemy, because they understand their benevolence, and before the war, they form a line and drum, so as to understand their faith, and they fight for righteousness instead of profit, so as to understand their righteousness..."

Doctor Fan Yi is a bit old-fashioned and cowardly. He misses the past noble wars very much. The desperate things are left to the common people. The nobles only need to put arrows on the chariots, meet the generals they know each other, and have a toast with each other. , boast that your spear is good, newly cast? Ma Er is handsome, bought a new one?

"But now, when fighting for the field and fighting, the attackers are all in a stance that they will never stop and destroy the country. When fighting for the city, the defending side has lost the old custom of frankly fighting, for fear that the city wall is not high enough and the killing equipment is not sharp enough. , is omnipotent, and people's hearts are not ancient. Now that Qi is strong and Lu is weak, this is something that has been expected since Taigong and Boqin were sealed in the Dongguo hundreds of years ago. Even if the city wall is added to Wanche It's no use."

However, he openly nostalgic about the ancients at the meeting of the Xilu doctors and town leaders discussing how to make use of the lakes and swamps created by the Great Yeze, Jishui, and Pushui Beizhu. What's more, this doctor Fan Yi always believed that the best way to resist the Qi people was to disarm them, and then reach an agreement with the head coach of the state of Qi, and let the Qi people go straight in.

"Little Si Kou just asked how to defend against the enemy so as to minimize the losses. The doctors have their own opinions. But I said that we should send envoys to Pingyin and Dong'e to see the doctors of Qi Shi and Wuxiang, and ensure that the Xilu Pass is not fortified. The troops did not line up, let them enter. The purpose of the Qi people's war is to subdue Lu, and it will not be difficult for the cities along the way. If Qi Lu asks for peace, we will no longer have to suffer from war. After the war It will also return the invading enemy. Why not do it..."

Zhao Wuxie tapped the case lightly with his fingers, others were fine, but he absolutely couldn't, once the city was broken. Everything about him will be lost in an instant, and the best outcome is to be escorted to Linzi and comrade Yang Hu for company.

The venue was silent for a while, and some people were already thinking about the feasibility of this matter. If this tendency to surrender is not refuted, it will at least hurt morale. The big one will disintegrate the alliance that has been so easily entangled.

So Zhao Wuxi, who was sitting at the top, looked at Zai Yu who was sitting at the end of the table, Zai Yu understood, and immediately stood up and said generously: "Doctor Fan Yi's words are absurd, it's like two people are on each other's side, don't think about it. How can we defeat the enemy, how can there be any reason to be prepared to meet the enemy? In those days, Song Xianggong fought Yu Hong with the people of Chu with this mind. If Duke Wen of Jin did not appear later, the lords of the Central Plains would have been reduced to the county magistrates of the Chu State. I am afraid that the Ji surname is no longer guaranteed, and the pedantic words of the doctor are of no use in today's war."

Doctor Fan Yi is a subordinate doctor after all. Seeing that Xiao Xiao Yi Zai dared to come out and refute him, and his words were quite rude, he immediately said unhappily: "Could it be that Zhong Du Zai is very knowledgeable about war? Then how could it be defeated by robbers last time? Waiguo, if it wasn't for Zhao Xiaosikou's rescue, you, your master, and fellow disciples would probably all be forced to be thieves!"

He was laughing at Zai Yu's master and apprentice, but even Confucius was injured on the top of the city. Although Zai Yu had general respect for Confucius, he was born in Confucius. It must be absolutely maintained in front of outsiders.

"Although I don't understand war, I have read the ancient and modern history, so I know some of the truths. Sima Yi of the Song Dynasty once said that a strong enemy cannot set up a battle because of the narrow terrain. This is God's help for me to intercept it. It’s not okay to strike, so I’m afraid that we won’t be able to win, so how can we play lightly because we can’t bear it. Now Qi is our great enemy. Although there are old men in its army, it is an enemy on the battlefield. He will be imprisoned until the end of the war. Zhao Wuzu is ashamed to teach war, in order to kill more enemies, so as to protect the people's goods, and to be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to his own people."

When it comes to quarreling, Doctor Fan Yi is the opponent of Zai Yu, who is a top student in the "language" department. He was so angry that he was speechless. He pointed at Zai Yu and said: "I heard that Confucius taught his disciples benevolence, righteousness and virtue, and he taught them that. Are you a person like you? Not a human being!"

Zai Yu is precisely the most rebellious student among the Confucian disciples.

"The doctor wants to know how the Master taught me? Well, let me just say it, the Master once taught me "Poems. Daming", in which there is such a sentence, 'The emperor said to King Wen: Zun Erqiu Fang, Tong Er brother. You hook aid, and you Linchong, to attack Chongyong'. King Wen of Zhou, known as the benevolent and righteous monarch, attacked Chong, but also used hook aid, Linchong and other equipment, and only won after a hard battle."

"Master also taught me the outer chapters of the "Shangshu", and I remember there is such a passage: King Wu then conquered the Quartet, where ninety kingdoms are destroyed, there are nine kingdoms; Nine out of seventy, and two hundred and thirty prisoners out of 300,000! The doctor now knows how King Wu's achievements came from?

This passage of quoting scriptures made Dr. Fan Yi speechless, and Zai Yuyou was not satisfied, so he continued his efforts to deliver the final blow: "There are also words of bloodshed in "Shangshu. Wucheng", so it can be seen that in ancient times, King Wen and King Wu The battle is still like this, not to mention us? If the doctor has the heart, listen carefully to Xiao Sikou's strategy to fight the enemy, don't think about the past and the present, and don't say anything about surrendering the enemy!"

Doctor Fan Yi's face was pale, and he was only influenced by him. The rest of the doctors and Prime Minister Yi, whose minds were a little shaken, shook their heads and no longer took his words to heart. It was only at this point that Zhao Wuxi slowly folded his palms, falsely reprimanded Zai Yu, and gave Doctor Fan Yi a step down.

"My son, I'm rude! Hurry back to the table. Although the doctor's opinion is at odds with mine, this is a harmony and a difference. The original intention is to protect the country and the people, right?"

Seeing someone handing over the stairs, Doctor Fan Yi, whose thin face was flushed red, got off the donkey along the slope: "Si Kou still has insight and understands what I mean."

Wu Xie said: "But the Qi people have been slipping into pirates, and they have not invaded the west of the Lu country once or twice, and each time they have left a lot of people. Since the doctor is here, he must hope to cooperate with us. Fanyi is located in Qinyi. The south of Heyi City and the north of Linqiu are the center of the defense against the enemy, but the battle is not necessarily too intense, and then there will be a lot of reliance on the doctor..."

Doctor Fan Yi said that he did not dare, and he no longer mentioned the matter of surrender.

Although several city officials and officials of Xilu gathered at Linqiu on the eve of the Qi people's overthrow, they vowed to share weal and woe. Together against the enemy invasion. But in fact, everyone is only concerned about the safety of their own fiefs, because Sanhuan is too busy to take care of themselves, regardless of their life or death. He had no choice but to rely on the powerful Zhao Wuxi, hoping to be protected.

Therefore, when asking for help, the doctors took the lead, and it was Zhao Wuxi's turn to suggest that everyone help each other and pay some obligations. They began to complain.

...

As the most northerly position, Ji Zai, who was on the front line against the Qi people, complained: "Yi Yi is on the verge of Pingyin and Dong'e, and there are few soldiers in the city, which are not enough to guard the causeway."

The doctor of Qin Yi then said: "There is no danger of rivers and lakes in the four fields of Qin Yi. The Qi people can scatter and loot, or easily pass around the city, and soldiers are urgently needed."

The thin-faced Fan Yi doctor didn't say a word. They had more than 2,000 Fan Yi household registrations, no shortage of manpower, and the land was fertile and fertile. There is no shortage of food, but what is lacking is probably the courage to defend against the enemy.

In general, the short doctor Gaoyu is the most honest: "Although Gaoyu is small, he has a city that is three miles away, not to mention that he is located in the south and is surrounded by various towns. I led a group of people to follow Zhao Sikou's orders, but they are short of food and cannot provide corn for the war."

Check it out. Check it out! This is called enlightenment. This doctor, who used to wear armor and coat to personally arrest theft, is now Zhao Wuxi's most powerful supporter.

As the first town lord to take refuge in Zhao Wuxi, Zai Yu could not show weakness. He said: "Although Zhongdu was robbed last year and broke the outer Guo, this is what Si Kou saw with his own eyes, but now he has recovered a little of his vitality. Knowing soldiers. Guarding the south bank of Wenshui and defending the flank for the doctor is no problem."

Perhaps it was because the lessons of robbers and breaking the foreign country were too painful. Since this year, Zhongdu has gradually changed from the previous military policy to the first military policy. Although Confucius questioned Zaiyu's method of governing the city, he did not interfere too much. . The first Confucian experimental field in the state of Lu gradually changed its appearance, and it had a tendency to be assimilated by Zhao Wuxi's forces.

With the support of Zhao Wuxi, the old equipment eliminated by the military pawns was basically transported there. When all the people were soldiers, it was not a problem to arm three hundred people. Interestingly, Fan Xu (word Zichi), who once asked Confucius about "Ask Jiaqiang", was treated coldly and regarded by Confucius as a "little man". At a glance, he knew that Zhao Wu died in the cottage. After all, he could only learn from his senior brother Ran Qiu when he was young.

Zhao Wuxi said: "Don't worry, gentlemen, our eight cities have their own strengths and weaknesses, or lack of soldiers, or lack of grain, or less danger, this time the West Lu joint defense is to combine our strengths and weaknesses. Get up, make unified scheduling, and achieve the purpose of mutual protection.”

He quickly explained the defense of each city and the things they were responsible for. In general, Qin Yi and Ji Yi stood at the forefront. Don't let Qi people cross the area of ​​30 to 40 miles. Ji Yi can rely on the lake and swamp terrain to defend, and Qin Yi has to gather the main force of the coalition army.

The Qin Dynasty is a kind of millet, which is why Qin Yi got its name. The Qin state in the west got its name from the "Qin Pavilion" named by Feizi, and it is also because of the existence of this kind of crops. Qinyi, like Fanyi, is located in the lower reaches of the Pu River. It is a fertile land. There is no shortage of food, but only a few soldiers.

There is Wenshui River in Zhongdu and the remaining veins of Mount Tai. It has never been the main attack direction of the Qi people. It is enough to let Zhongdu soldiers guard the south bank of Wenshui. If something happens, Ran Qiu of Yuncheng will also come to the rescue.

Fan Yi provided cattle, horses and carriages for transit, as well as labor, and he pushed the matter of sending troops. Zhao Wuxi was still worried about Dr. Fan Yi. If possible, he had to send someone to control his defense. Otherwise, the worst case would be if Fan Yi suddenly surrendered to the enemy after Qin Yi and Ji Yi were not guaranteed. People are really coming to the city!

In terms of the army, Zhao Wuxi was the big one, half of the military soldiers, and half of the Yi and Ting soldiers would be drawn to Qinyi for fortification. The reason why he only went to half was that he had to guard against the thieves of Weiguo and Onozawa.

"The news of the correspondence between the cities was delivered by the light knights, and the speed was much faster than that of the car. Qinyi and Jiyi, as well as the Guangbu cavalry in the north of Wenshui, if there is any change in Qi people, Xilu can know in advance... ...what do you think?"

In contrast to their panic, Linqiu, Zhen, and Yuncheng have already completed the defense in an orderly manner, and they can even mobilize people to help them. Naturally, the doctors could not ask for what they wanted, and nodded to each other, including the doctor Fan Yi, who was on both ends of the head and mouse, and they all agreed.

"We're just following Siko's lead!"

However, although they were encouraged by Zhao Wuxi to come down to the Linqiu League, but after they had negotiated the strategy to defend against the enemy, they had a reassurance in their hearts, and they also thought about the post-war events.

In particular, Ji Yizai was the most anxious. He fell from power in Yanghu, and the new one who took office after Qian Yi fled, is the Yizai directly under the Marquis of Lu. Originally, his rank was lower than that of a doctor, and Zai Yu, who was at the same level, had a master of a small Zongbo in the court. He also has close contacts with Zhao Wuxi, but he has no background, otherwise he would not be thrown into the small and poor borderland of Jiyi.

"Although this meeting is excusable, it is a private meeting that violates etiquette after all. Zhao Xiaosi Kou has Zhao Qing of the Jin Kingdom as his backing, and he is also a great minister who is relied on by the emperor. At most, there is one sentence. But I also openly At this point, when the war is over, the monarch will definitely be furious, and Sanhuan does not know how to deal with me, I am afraid that this duty will not be able to be preserved..."

At this moment, someone came to report that the ruler from Lucheng had arrived.

...

It was still Zifuhe who read Luhou's order.

Zifu He and Zhao Wuxi had a good relationship, but this time they had a gloomy face, and the first words they said when they met were: "Xiao Sikou has gone too far this time!"

Wu Xie sighed: "I have to be a last resort, and it's just a matter of urgency. Is it possible that I can still count on Ji and Shusun to save me? Or do I have to tie my hands and bring them down? Are you acting prudently?"

Zifu He was speechless. Their Meng family was different from Ji family and uncle and grandson. They took on the defense of the northern border and were unable to protect themselves. Even in the short term, he has to rely heavily on Zhao Wuxi to help defend the flank in Xibi. Although Gong Lianyang has malice towards Zhao Wuxi, why is Nangong Yue and Zifu happy to see it succeed, but he is dissatisfied with Zhao Wuxi. The practice is too disregard of etiquette.

In the face of the grouping of Xibi Zhuyi. Ji's and Shu-sun's seem to have been commanded by an army, they don't want to agree, but they can't stop it. And after Lu Houliu discussed it next season, he thought it would be ignored. When the war is over, Xibi will be defeated and collapsed. If you hold on to it, the prestige of the office will be greatly damaged, and you must quickly recognize this alliance.

On the contrary, it was Confucius who was most sympathetic to Zhao Wuxi before, and of course only sympathetic to Confucius.

"The behavior of the doctor in private alliance is indecent. Even in the history books, it has to be demeaned with special brushwork, how can it be admitted? If after this matter, doctors in the whole Lu have followed suit, what should it be? A country will not be a country! "

However, the Lu country has even passed the years since the accompaniment of the courtiers. Although the rulers were not happy, they had to pinch their noses to agree. After all, compared to Zhao Wuxi, the menacing Qi people were more terrifying. some. Now that the six ministers are separated, they are not sure how fast the Jin State will respond. Maybe they have to rely on Zhao Yang to let the State of Lu survive the crisis. Since Zhao Wuxi wants to take the lead, let him choose it. , anyway, this joint is only a temporary emergency measure.

So there was Zifu He's trip to Linqiu.

"Gong said: woohoo! Xiao Sikou, now I have ordered you to go on a military trip! I will give you three flags, one bow and one hundred arrows, and the people of Qi are in Xibi, and don't make an invasion of the state of Lu..."

Bows, bows and arrows are black-painted bows and arrows. They are symbolic items bestowed by princes to ministers. They are one level lower than Tong, which was bestowed by princes.

As the saying goes, "The lords and officials have great achievements, give them bows and arrows, and then specialize in expeditions. To teach morality and practice archery, hide them to show their descendants." Grant the right to conquer.

After accepting the order, all the doctors in the west were relieved, and so was Zhao Wuxi. Although he was late, he had also added a procedure to make the private meeting of each city a behavior in line with etiquette.

Zifu He said: "Your Majesty also gave a message that the king ordered Nanzhong to go to the city in the direction of the city. Get out of the car Peng Peng, and the flag will be Yang Yang."

This passage is from "Xiao Ya. Getting out of the Car". Nan Zhong was a courtier of Zhou Xuan Wang's Zhongxing period. He was ordered by the king to build a city in Shuofang to resist the invasion of Jiu. The identities of Luhou and Zhao Wuxi are quite poetic.

So Zhao Wuxi responded: "Since you get out of my car and set up my flag, you will definitely not disgrace your ruler's life!"

Zifu He was still angry, he deliberately did not stay, and said coldly before leaving: "Yu Gong, I hope Si Kou can defend the country against the Qi people, Yu Zi, I hope Si Kou can be Nanzhong, not Shenhou! "

Jiang surnamed the Marquis of Xishen, who was originally the in-law of the Zhou royal family, but led the dogs into Feng and Hao, and was the culprit of Zong Zhou's downfall.

Without a shirt, he smiled and promised, but what he thought in his mind was...

"I'd rather be Duke Zhou who is the regent..."

This time, his entanglement with Xilu and mutual protection was still a risky move, risking offending Marquis Lu, offending Sanhuan, and even antagonizing Kongmen.

Just because the arrival of the Qi people was like a huge wave, the current situation did not allow Zhao Wuxi to take care of himself. Who made him desperate and set up his base in the west of Lu State? Qi is in the north, Wei is in the south, all the forces of Lu are in the east, and Da Yeze Robber is on the side of the couch. It is the place of four battles.

The current situation is that the war is getting stronger and stronger, and if there is no war, it will decline!

Zhao Wuxi suddenly felt that he and his neighbors seemed to have entered the Warring States Period in advance.

After receiving additional recognition from Lu Cheng, the worries of the doctors were put aside, and the agreement was finally reached after they continued to talk about the details for a long time. They made blood alliances with Zhao Wuxi one after another, and they also erected the "Shilu Doctor Association Alliance Monument" outside the address of the alliance, and engraved the alliance book on it, expressing their willingness to share weal and woe, and friendship is as immortal as a rock.

In this way, Zhao Wuxi has reversed the imminent death situation of Qi people.

Thanks to Qi's deterrent power~lightnovelpub.net~ and Sanhuan's inaction, Zhao Wuxi got extremely rich benefits. First, he can "take the neighbors as the screen" to avoid the territory being involved in military disasters; secondly, he can increase his prestige and become the head of the doctor of Xilu; thirdly, it is easy to ask God to send him away, and when the war is over, he will extend his power into the world by the way. Among these towns, why not do it?

As for whether or not you can keep this heaven-given land, you have to see your own abilities.

The time is approaching the end of August, Xibi is ready to wait, and Qi State has almost completed the assembly of the army. The Duke of Qi, together with the ministers of Guo, Gao, Chen and other officials in the south of Jishui, was in charge of the army. Looking around at the four fields, there were more than a thousand chariots and tens of thousands of soldiers.

But after the Qi people's army set out, their next move was completely beyond the expectations of the Lu people... (To be continued.)
