Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 9 Ji Wan and Xiong Dun

After two generations of previous kings, the authority of the emperor became more and more majestic. Especially in the Central Plains, there were many princes with the surname Ji, and the Duke of Song had the king's order granted by the emperor.

Just when Luo Su and the three convened the feudal alliance to prepare for the Qin King, Zhou Tianzi in Luoyi also began to prepare for the southern expedition. He grew up listening to the story of King Wu and King Su's eastward expedition since he was a child. Life longing, the full treasury and a strong army gave him confidence.

In the Luoyi Palace, since the high officials who stopped Nan Zheng were repelled, the emperor Ji Wan has been gesturing at the battle map with great interest.

"Marquis Ji, Marquis Yu, what do you think the widowers should punish that Chu Man when they catch him, so as to show the majesty of the Son of Heaven?"

Marquis Ji shook his head and said with a smile: "It's better to imprison him in a car, reveal his head, and send it to various countries. The princes of various countries will definitely be afraid and be more respectful to the emperor."

Yuhou also suggested: "The Chu Man is arrogant to be the king, which is outrageous and outrageous. King Su used to impose imperial punishment in the Ammonite Kingdom when he was on his expedition, and when he conquered the Chu Man capital, it is better to follow the old system and impose imperial punishment on all men and demote women into slaves. "

Ji Wan's face was delighted, and the Marquis of Handan said angrily: "The emperor must not listen to the flattering words of Yu and Ji, although Xiong Dun has arrogantly declared himself king, the crime is unforgivable, but it is enough to kill him and his relatives. .

Although the people in Danyang City are not from Zhou, they are also the people of Xia who are familiar with the rituals of Zhou.

Moreover, tens of thousands of Xiamin can be divided into clansmen and nobles in the future.

If one kills them, the benevolence of the emperor will be damaged, and the way of Xiajun and the people of the previous kings from King Xianwu onward may even be destroyed in one fell swoop. "

The Marquis of Hand was in agreement with Luo Su in the royal court and opposed Ji Wannan's expedition, but the emperor insisted on doing so, so he could only follow.

Although he doesn't know how to command the army, but as a military division, he is still good at making suggestions on the army formation.

I really didn't expect that the first time we discussed the countermeasures, I heard Yu and Hou coming in to offer slander, and the emperor was still moved, and his beard would be up in anger.

Ji Wan felt that what Marquis Han said was reasonable, so he hesitated, and hesitantly said to Yu and Ji: "Marquis Yu and Marquis Ji think that what Marquis Han said is reasonable, the ancestors of King Wu and King Su's Eastern Expeditions are both. He was ordered to be feudal on the new land. After the few people conquered the Chu barbarians, they must reward the heroes. Although Chu is a land of barbarians, it is also a gift to be the master of a country. ."

If Luosu was present, I'm afraid he would be slandered again, and even give him the nickname of "Son of Wealth Keeper", treat heroes harshly, and be stingy with money. The important officials of the royal court are either your clan relatives or your foreign relatives. These people leave me You gave up the gorgeous clothes, graceful beauties, and the highest status in the country, and came to the royal court to assist you, but in the end you couldn't even part with some possessions.

Without the ability to intimidate the ministers, and without knowing how to show kindness to the ministers, where is the style of the holy king?

The Marquis of Hand can be considered to know Ji Wan's character relatively well, and there is no expression on his face. He is a prince named Gui who was enshrined in the previous king's period, and he is of the same clan as Chenhou, because the previous king was kind to him, and Ji Wan was the prince when he was the prince. One of the teachers sent his eldest son to build the country in Handi, while he stayed in the Wang Ting to assist Ji Wan.

When Yu and Ji saw that their proposal was rejected, they couldn't help but feel angry at the Marquis of Hand. At the beginning, Luosu relied on himself as King Su, and he often reprimanded the two of them. It can be said that they are strong, their in-laws are even more powerful, and the Rock's reputation is also high, so the two naturally dare not talk back.

But I didn't expect Hanhou, a prince with a foreign surname, who had only 20 years since the founding of the country, and his daughter-in-law was only one of the nine concubines. His country was small and weak, and his blood was humble. Endured it, but Marquis Han dared to tease the tiger's beard. The two looked at each other and reached a certain consensus in an instant.

Marquis of Hand didn't know that just a few words made Yuhou and Jihou have murderous intentions towards him. Seeing that the emperor had adopted his opinion, he felt a little relieved and put forward his own suggestion. The picture said: "Your Majesty, the state of Chu is located in the southern barbarian land, and it is much farther south than the land of Huihou in the past. Back then, the previous king sealed the ancestor of Xiong Dun there just by random strokes, and did not know the geography of mountains and rivers, rivers and rivers. lake.

However, in recent years, other princes have also made some achievements in exploring the south. According to their feedback, the land of the southern barbarians is very different from China. There are many rivers, abundant rain, and hills. Because of the small population, there are many forests. Our army I'm afraid it's not suitable to fight in that kind of place in a short time. "

Hearing what Marquis of Handan said, Marquis Yu and Marquis Ji showed a hint of smile, Marquis Ji interrupted what Marquis Han was about to say next, and said dissatisfiedly: "Marquis of Hand, the king has been ordered by the heaven, how wise, these clichés are so eloquent. Could it be that I don’t know about it? I see that you are dead, and you want to stop the king’s expedition to the south, and ask the king to deal with the crime of the Marquis of Han!”

The Marquis of Hand was stunned, and saw that the emperor's face was also gloomy. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, this minister is only making suggestions and suggestions, and there is absolutely no plan to stop your southern expedition. I also ask Wang Shang Mingjian."

Hearing Handan Hou's explanation, Ji Wan's expression turned slightly, but he didn't have the heart to talk about it any more, so he waved his hand and told everyone to retreat.

"I retire!"

The three of them exited the hall, glaring at each other, and the Marquis of Hand snorted coldly: "You just compliment the Son of Heaven, and where is your ancestor's ancestral temple? You are all princes surnamed Ji, the masters of a sect, why do you do this kind of pain for relatives and enemies? quick thing?"

With a sneer on Yuhou's face, he said disdainfully: "Gu can't understand what you are talking about. When Gu assists the emperor to pacify the Nanman victory, Gu will ask Luohou to see, this Ji clan is not only determined by King Su alone. In the world, see how he will rely on his identity in the future, and look down on loneliness!"

Marquis Ji also had the same expression, and said proudly: "Xiong Dun is not worthy of his name, he is just a viscount in a barren land. When the emperor's army arrives, he will be like a chicken and a dog, vulnerable to a single blow, and then he will take advantage of the situation to wipe out those who refuse to obey Wang Hua. The remnant of the people, this kind of great merit, since King Su, has never been done again."

The Marquis of Hand really didn't expect these two people to have such an idea. They didn't deliberately deceive the emperor, but they really felt that the soldiers could win as soon as they arrived, and wanted to build merits and not let King Su specialize in beauty. forward.

The Marquis of Hand didn't know what to say for a while. He couldn't believe that two high-ranking princes could be so stupid and arrogant.Xiong Dun annexed more than a dozen vassal states, and in the First World War, the strong southern state of Hui Kingdom did not dare to go south. These achievements were so looked down upon.

The Marquis of Hand shook his head, said no more, turned around and left the palace, ready to pass the information to Luo Su.

At this time, the emperor decided to go south, and the news that Taifu Luosu had abandoned his office and returned to the country finally spread to the vassal states of the whole world.

The reactions of all parties were different. The border princes generally did not expect that the emperor would use such a radical method of personal expedition. They are very aware that the most accidents in war are accidents, especially when leading an army to an unfamiliar place.

But most of the princes have a joy in their hearts, and there is a reason for their joy.

Faced with this situation in the past, usually a feudal lord of the four towns was dispatched as a general to lead an army of the forbidden army from Wang Jizhong. Rewards or punishments are also based on the performance of various countries in the war.

This system can not only ensure that the emperor's forbidden army has actual combat, but also prevent the sudden destruction of the six armies, resulting in the emperor's complete loss of the force to suppress the princes, and can regularly consume the manpower and material resources of the princes. , to ensure Wang Ji's financial well-being.

Therefore, the princes have always regarded going with the army as a chore, and the benefits obtained are extremely limited, and usually only a few people can get back their capital.

This time, the Son of Heaven is going to lead the six armies to go on a personal expedition, and he has also mobilized the entire manpower and material resources of Wang Ji. They don't need them to send troops and pay for it. Who can be unhappy?

No one thought that Ji Wan would lose, what's the joke?

That is the forbidden army raised by the lords with countless money and food.

Ji Zhao, who understood everything, was a little speechless. The policy he tried so hard to come up with was for normal people. As long as he followed the rules, it would be fine, but when he came across a hoax like Ji Wan, no amount of sophisticated system could save him. .

Among Wang Ji's officials, only Luo Su might be able to restrain him, but after Luo Su's persuasion to no avail, he directly gave up on him.

Since Ji Wan can't rule the world, let's replace it with a qualified emperor. Ji Wan has two direct sons, and if he cultivates them well, maybe there will be another sage like King Kang?
Chu State, Yingdu.

The news that Ji Wan was going to conquer Chu Kingdom also reached Xiong Dun. When he was practicing martial arts in the school grounds, a minister hurried in to tell him the news. Xiong Dun was stunned for a moment and then laughed directly, "The widow hasn't looked for it yet. Ji Wan's trouble, he dared to come to Chu to find the widow."

The important officials of the Chu State were actually very worried. After all, the Sixth Army of the Emperor had a large number of horses, sufficient food and grass, and the wearing rate of armor was also very high.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven is the most elite group army in the entire state and Zhou, and it is also the largest in number.

But Xiong Dun is not worried. He laughs so loudly that his whole body is trembling. His appearance has nothing to do with being handsome and elegant. He is over 1.9 meters tall. His body can only be described as huge. Thick fat, but he's definitely not a sluggish fat guy.

On the contrary, every time he swung his long Ge, he was filled with a sense of strength, and beneath that thick layer of fat were strips of muscles that looked like horned dragons.

His strength is very strong, and the speed between tossing and moving is also very fast, and those thick fats can not only allow him to resist heavy blows, but also allow him to wear heavy armor to fight continuously without collapse. Fighting until the evening, is to rely on the powerful physical function.

If Ji Zhao can check his attributes, he will find that this is a natural god of war with both command and force reaching 99 points. In real history, the one who can achieve this value is called the Overlord of Western Chu. He is good at defeating the enemy with less. will.

After carefully reading the information from the north, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "This Ji Wan is so stupid to let Luo Housu leave office, I really don't know why the destiny came to him, This time, the widow will try the fineness of this Son of Heaven."

Although there are still some worries in their hearts, since the lord is so confident, they have unconditional trust in the lord's ability to fight, and these ministers who have followed Xiong Dun for many years still make themselves laugh.

Xiong Dun is still familiar with Luohousu. When he hadn't assumed the title of king, Luosu tried to bring Chu into the circle of upper-level princes. At that time, he was going to help Xiong Dun to conquer Nanman. Please make him a marquis. He is looking for a noble girl surnamed Ji to marry.

Later, Xiong Dun arrogantly became king, which naturally touched Luo Su's bottom line. Although he was not skilled in the military, there was no shortage of people who were good at military affairs in the state and Zhou. With the high position of the three princes, he contacted the countries, built a defense line, and supplied money and food. He has been fighting a war of attrition with Xiong Dun.

This move really made Xiong Dun uncomfortable. Since the formation of the defense line, he no longer tried to go north to Luoyi, but began to fight in two directions to the southwest.

Unexpectedly, Ji Wan not only voluntarily gave up the advantage of strong national power, but also took the initiative to fight in the environment he was familiar with, and even forced the important officials away.

This made Xiong Dun couldn't help but say: "There are worthy officials like Luohousu who can't use them, and there are correct methods but they don't implement them. Ji Wan is really a monarch like Jie Zhou, how can such a monarch go to heaven? How about taking care of him? Presumably when he came to the south, God let him die in the vast mountains and forests."

Xiong Dun's state minister Xiong Lin smiled and said, "The time is right for the people, the two kings will hunt, and only one of them will be kept. Maybe God is destined to let you rule the world?"

Xiong Lin's words came to Xiong Dun's heart, Ji Wan and his father had both insulted and insulted the Chu State, Xiong Dun believed that he had made a contribution, and he really hated the two father and son in his heart. In the place of sacrifice to heaven, there is the Jiuding cast by the late King Dayu. Legend has it that it carries Zhou's destiny. If you can defeat Ji Wan, it is impossible for you and me to go to Luoyi to try the Jiuding, but the widow wants to know Zhou Tianzi. The cauldron and the cauldron of our state of Chu, which one is more important?"

As soon as Xiong Dun said this, Xiong Linben's eyes flashed, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Your Majesty, if Ji Wan leads the army, the minister will send an envoy to convey the words of the king to Ji Wan on the battlefield. , to provoke him, he will definitely not be able to tolerate it at that time, if he is eager to lead an army to attack, it will definitely be full of flaws."

Xiong Dun was stunned, stretched out his futon-sized hand and patted Xiong Lin, and said with a smile, "The Minister of State has a fantastic idea, if it is successful, the widow will definitely not be stingy with the reward."

The monarchs and ministers on the Chu country's side are all focused, and their collective efforts have already begun to prepare one by one traps for Ji Wan. Just waiting for Ji Wan to jump in, the war machines of various official offices in Wang Ji also start to operate.

Ji Zhao is going to drain all the luck points that he has accumulated for decades to enrich his inventory.
