PS: The third update, readers who want to see the map, go to post it, there are already many enthusiastic readers who have done it

Exchange of land is not unfamiliar to the ministers of the Jin State, because the territories they obtained under the feudal lord system are eastern and western, and few are connected together. ? happy? arts? Novel ww.ls520. Therefore, the exchange of territories often occurs. When the monarch is strong, this is naturally not allowed, but as the authority of the public office is weakened a little bit, the nobles and clans exchange territories more frequently and boldly.

The prefectures and counties of the Han family were obtained through a series of exchanges. In addition, the horse head located near Jinyang was originally allocated to the Han family, so Zhao Jingzi exchanged Pingyang with the horse head, and this is the current situation.

Originally, Geng Yang's existence was equivalent to a bone stuck in the counties of Zhao's Taiyuan Basin, but now Wei's family is not attacked by Zhao Wuxi and he has to thank Haotian. How could he dare to take the initiative to provoke him? Now that he has given up Geng Yang, who is difficult to contact, and has acquired the lower palace near Geng and Jiangdu in the Fenshui Valley, the Wei family is naturally happy to see this exchange.

Of course, at the same time as the land exchange, there are also immigrants in general. The two sides will move the accountant Qi Min, who was controlled by the original territory, to a new position, and do not want to take advantage of the other party.

However, when Zhao and Wei discussed the details of land exchange and immigration, Han Hu had a faint chill in his eyes.

Geng and his hometown, Hancheng, are only separated by a river...

The Zhao family has already moved the ancestral temple to Wenxian, so there is no need to worry about changing the land, but Hancheng is the place where his ancestors of the Han family are buried, and they must not be given up. As a result, Hancheng was surrounded by the Wei family's territory, and at the same time was surrounded by the Han family's main city, Pingyang. He couldn't help but panic...

For a time, Han Hu's perception of the current situation in Jin changed greatly, and he even felt that Wei's contribution in the war was very little. A little too much?

This time, the Han family is really huddled with the Wei family in Hedong. The territories are intertwined. You have me and I have you. Although the Han and Wei families guessed that this was Zhao Wuxi's conspiracy, they couldn't resist the temptation of the important places in Jinkou and Jiangdu. handprint.

On the 17th day of October in the 18th year of Jinhouwu, the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han set up an altar in a small place called "Hou Ma" between Xinjiang and Gujiang, and held a meeting.

As compensation for giving up Hedong, Zhao Wuxi was undoubtedly jointly elected by the two patriarchs of Wei and Han. Under such great pressure, the Marquis of Jin could only agree and put the seal of the monarch on it.

On that day, Zhao Wuxi officially became the general of the Jin state in Houma, the minister of the great state!

...

Zhao Wei and Han Sanqing formed an alliance in Houma, but Jin Hou did not participate in it.

It is said that he fell ill after being squeezed out of the meeting by Zhao Wuxi that day, and stayed in the tent all the time. , sulking.

When Cai Shimo made an alliance of the three generals in Houma, and reported the news of Zhao Wuxi's promotion to the emperor, Jin Houwu was still lazily turning the empty wine cup in his hand, "Tai Shi, let Zhao Wei let Zhao Wei in everything. Han Sanqing can call the shots, anyway, they have almost divided the widowed Jin state."

His voice was indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him, and he was obviously more saddened than dying.

It would be great if the Zhi clan had won this war. I might as well have chosen to go into exile in Hexi with Zhisong. Even if they were displaced, it would be better than being a puppet and suffering humiliation... But Zhao Wei and Han were even divided into new and old ones. The matter is still a secret contract, and the Marquis of Jin does not know, otherwise, he will be so angry that he vomits blood.

Cai Shimo and the others had no way to comfort them, and could only sigh, as the envoys of the monarch, to participate in this feast for the three families to divide up the state of Jin.

The Marquis of Jin watched Cai Shimo leave indifferently, raised the wine cup to his lips, and took a sip. This is the best millet wine, very strong, but for some reason, the sourness made his teeth tingle.

He was trapped here. After that day, he wanted to return to Jiangdu, but Zhao Wuxi insisted that the monarch must stay until the whole process of public consultation was over before leaving.

Jin Houwu was like being under house arrest. He had never been so lost. The palace guards outside the tent were successively transferred and replaced with people from the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han. Most of them were soldiers of the Zhao clan, and the bright swords and halberds made him tremble. But after a few days, he is not so afraid now, and he is sure that Zhao Wuxi will not dare to hurt himself.

"If I had known that the widow would have today, Da Sheyi, eight years ago, should have given you to death! Or when you fled abroad, you should have issued a strict order and asked the princes to help imprison and arrest!" He gritted his teeth and drank again. After drinking a glass of wine, he scolded the Zhao clan's son-in-law for being mad when he was successful.

Jin Houwu's anger needed to be vented, and he began to continuously summon his servants and concubines. From morning to noon, even the three daughters of the royal family were virgins. He had no pity at all, and imagined her as a woman from Zhao Wei and Han Sanqing's family, beating and scolding while tossing around. After the incident, he was sweating all over his body, the viscous wine drank down his stomach, and his head began to feel dizzy. Looking at the body on the bed, crying, or sluggish like a dead flesh, he felt nauseated and almost nauseous.

"Get out." He lashed the concubines with a few whips and drove them out. He collapsed on the couch weakly, and began to cry. The dignified Marquis of Jin sobbed like a child, and then fell asleep. .

Depressed and unhappy, these emotions were like slowly approaching dark shadows, strangling his neck, his throat, mouth and nose were full of the disgusting smell of wine, Jin Hou's breathing slowly became difficult, his face flushed red... …

Just as the Marquis of Jin was dying, a strong hand pulled him up, the liquor poured into his throat, and the Marquis of Jin lay on the edge of the bed and vomited. That hand slapped his back violently. If it weren't for this hand, the Marquis of Jin would probably have been choked to death by drinking water in his dreams. After Jin Jinggong drowned in the latrine, Jin's public office was afraid that it would be a wonderful work for the Spring and Autumn Kings again. Types of death methods have been added.

"Reward..." Jinhou took Ge Jin and wiped his mouth, thinking to himself that his ugliness was seen by this person, and he would probably have to kill someone to silence him afterwards, but he was stunned when he turned around.

The person in front of him was not a palace maid, nor a temple person, or even the Taishi or master of ceremonies who had been around him all day. It was an eight-foot-two-inch tall man with a bright face and eyes. He was wearing a black leather armor. He looked at himself like a tiger looking at a young deer...especially on his waist. With a short sword, no one can bring weapons into the monarch's tent. This is the rule, this is the etiquette!

The Marquis of Jin's voice trembled: "You... Who are you? Why are you in the widow's tent?"

The man grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, like a beast's teeth before eating.

"This minister is Liu Xiazhi of the State of Lu, and I was ordered by Zhao Shangqing to pick you up to a place..."

...

Meanwhile, on the banks of the Huishui River, the little-known Houma has become a sea of ​​jade, fur and bright brocade. In addition to the three ministers, doctors, clansmen, and scholars from the Jin state gathered here, standing under the altar of the alliance, pushing each other like merchants in a market.

Cai Shimo announced the edict signed by the Marquis of Jin, and repeated the merits of Zhao's Qingjun's side of evil ministers. He sincerely asked Zhao Wuxi to take charge of Jin's government on behalf of the monarch. After Zhao Wuxi gave up three times, he solemnly accepted the position. , "I will work tirelessly until the state of Jin regains its hegemony."

Also given to Shangqing were honor guards, axe, feather canopy, etc. Zhao Wuxi also gave in three times and then smiled.

Later, the three heads of Zhao, Wei and Han, the middle general Zhao Wuxi, the upper general Wei Lu, and the lower general Han Hu ascended the altar one after another, took the blood oath, and asked the craftsmen to engrave the alliance book on the slate and burn the coupons to swear. , never violated.

The three officially formed an alliance to maintain the status quo of the Jin state, and pursued the fleeing Zhi clan, Fan, and the remnants of the Bank of China. Continue to sweep the Zhijun, ready to hit Hexi.

The secret covenant also agreed that they would secretly suppress the Jin State's office together. If there is any deviation, the family will be wiped out, and there will be no burial!

Those doctors who still exist in the Jin state, such as Le Fuli, a doctor from Tongjiao, also participated in this large-scale alliance signing event, and also participated in the pledge of allegiance to their respective patriarchs, including scholars, diners, retainers, and generals. There are more than 5,000 jade pieces, tortoise shells, bamboo silk, and paper with characters on the back buried in the soil.

At this point, the Houma Alliance is drawing to a close.

After being busy all day, Wei Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he is less than fifty years old, he is not as good as he used to be. He can't accept his old age. In the future, the matter of dealing with the two juniors of Zhao Han will be left to his son. go a head.

The signing of the alliance letter meant that the Wei family had earned it. Although Wei Ju did not come with him, Xiao Zong Lu Xing couldn't help but laugh from ear to ear. Han's not a loss, but looking at Wei's eyes with a bit of envy and a sense of distance. Only the Zhao family gave up the interests of Hedong, but Zhao Wuxi had already controlled two-thirds of Jin's territory and more than half of the population, and he had become the Shangqing as he wished. As they spoke, the two of them laughed and seemed to be in a good mood.

In this way, Sanqing has achieved three wins, and the only one who has no money left to accompany him is the Marquis of Jin...

At this moment, Wei Lu saw Linghu Bo, who was staying at the camp, hurried over, and said a few words in Lu Xing's ear. Lu Xing's smile suddenly turned into a cold face, and he took a few steps over to Wei Lu. Report what happened before.

"Patriarch, there is a change in the Zhao army who is staying at the camp. The prince has asked his soldiers to prepare for the battle. He has asked for an urgent report, saying that Zhao will lead his troops into the monarch's tent, and he will be taken back to Zhao's camp, and he will be arrested with him. There are also temple people, palace maids, and Yousi... The palace guards brought by Xinjiang can't figure out the purpose of Zhao's family, and now they are in a mess."

Wei Hao's face was sinking, and he carefully looked around. Everything was business as usual. It seemed that the Zhao family did not plan to mutiny here and take all the officials and doctors into one pot.

So he strengthened his courage and moved towards Zhao Wuxi, who was surrounded by people like stars holding the moon, and asked in a low voice, "Zitai, what do you mean?"

Zhao Wuxi and Le Fuli were having a good time chatting, and when they heard the words, they turned around and said, "What?"

"Zi Taixiu is going to pretend to be confused~lightnovelpub.net~ I'm talking about the abduction of Zhao Ying, the monarch!"

The others stopped talking and watched the two patriarchs of Wei and Zhao confront each other coldly here.

"Oh, so that's what happened..." Zhao Wuxi, who was wearing Shangqing's uniform, played with the jade in his hand and said, "It just so happens that Wu Xie is promoted to Shangqing today, and he will start to govern in Jin, in front of the second and third sons. , I want to announce the first policy measure after taking office!"

For a time, everyone pricked up their ears.

Zhao Wuxi glanced at them and glanced at Wei Hao, Han Hu, and everyone else.

Everything before is only the smoke before the opening, what he has to do next is the majesty that a great country should have!

Zhao Wuxi said loudly: "Xinjiang has been the capital of Jin for a hundred years, and the filth is growing. The remnants of Zhi, Zhongxing, and Fan's rebels have been hidden in countless people, and the Zhi clan has burned down the stores and official offices. It is time for the monarch to change. Great place!"
