In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

The military weapons produced in Wuyang are popular in the country of Yan, and they are indeed extremely sharp, but Ji Miao hopes that the weapons he spends a lot of money to buy at this time will not be so sharp, because when Ji Miao ordered Yu Rong to drive to the battlefield with his life, he personally appointed The army commander has slaughtered the army patrolling the border of Zhongshan country.

Ji Miao was so frightened that he shuddered, and then he did what many people who have made mistakes would do—cover up the truth.

Ji Miao ordered his entourage to clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible, evacuated quickly, and led a group of entourage soldiers to run desperately to his fief in Yan State, and then pretended nothing happened.

The concubine brothers who were with Ji Miao were also terrified, and kept silent about today's events. These guys who spend extravagantly every day and have never been on the battlefield, don't know the military system of various countries, and the border patrol army was attacked , There will be military scouts returning to the city to report, that is to say, when Ji Miao's military commander Chu Chu exchanged fire with the Zhongshan people, the Zhongshan scouts had already sent the news back to the border town, which is Zhongshan.

At this time, the court of Zhongshan Kingdom, which was arguing endlessly over whether to accept Tian Xiang's proposal to join forces with the State of Qi, was in an uproar. The young people were furious and threatened to take revenge, while the elders advocated sending envoys to question the State of Qi Why raid the Zhongshan border.

Prince Zhongshan couldn't make a choice, so he hesitated to ask Gongsun Qi, who was in charge of the prime minister at this time, and said, "How do you think about this matter?"

Gongsun Qi has not made a clear statement during this period of time, but at this time when the news came that the Yan State raided the Zhongshan border and killed Zhongshan soldiers, he also knew that he would not express his position, and he was afraid that it would be too late, so he said: "Your Majesty, do you know why Zhongshan was killed?" After the battle with Jin, our country rested and recuperated, and there was no more war, so why did Xia Yu not agree to the last time Xia Yu summoned Zhongshan to share the land of Yan with me."

At this time, I only heard a cold snort, and it was indeed the prince's accompanying son, who was happy.

Gongsun Qi looked at Young Master Xi, only to see Young Master Xi said with disdain, "I think it's because of cowardice."

Gongsun Qi didn't speak, but the Crown Prince couldn't see it, he stopped Young Master Xi and said: "Don't be rude", then turned to Gongsun Qidao, "Xi is young and innocent, please don't argue with him."

Gongsun Qi's expression was indifferent, and he ignored Young Master Xi's words at all, and said: "In the past, Zhongxing Wu of our Jin Kingdom attacked our clan several times, confiscated our clan's land, and killed our clan members. Therefore, Jin Kingdom became our sworn enemy."

At that time, Zhongshan Kingdom was still the capital of Zhongrencheng, so it was not counted as the founding of the country, so Gongsun Qi described that Zhongshan at that time was called our family, and he called himself Xianyu instead of Zhongshan. In fact, Zhongshan Kingdom has not formally declared the founding of the country until today The so-called Zhongshan Kingdom, the so-called sons and grandsons, are nothing more than Xianyu imitating the ritual system of the princes of the Central Plains for a long time and it is a convention.

Gongsun Qi paused for a moment, then continued: "Later, in order to avenge this great revenge, we even let go of our grudges and helped Zhong Xingyin, a descendant of Zhong Xing Wu who attacked our family in the past, during the civil strife in Jin. Qi State, Lu State, and Wei State attacked Jin State with the intention of dismembering Jin State."

The prince quietly listened to Gongsun Qi's narration of the past history, and at the same time, he winked at the impatient Gongzi Xi, telling him to be more honest, because the prince knew that as a well-known sage in the country, Gongsun Qi's purpose was definitely not just to narrate history.

Gongsun Qi continued: "Afterwards, Zhao Zhifu, a strong man of the Jin Kingdom, was born, defeated the coalition forces of the princes, quelled the internal rebellion of the Jin Kingdom, and killed the Fan family and the Zhongxing family. The Jin country came to us for revenge , it was also because of the battle with Zhao Zhifu that the vitality of our country was severely damaged."

After a pause, Gongsun Qi stood up and bowed to the prince, saying: "My Zhongshan country is not as good as Jin in terms of population and land, nor is it as good as Yan. Dare I ask the prince, are Zhongshan and Jin deadly enemies? Yan, will the State Council of Jin just sit back and watch the war between our country and the country of Yan and remain unmoved? Is it possible that Zhongshan will be able to win a war with two countries that are stronger than ours? Jin broke through Yue, but he did not win well in the hands of Prince Yan's Furen, does my country of Yan have a famous general who is worse than Furen?"

The prince was silenced by Gongsun Qi's series of questions, but the young master Xi beside the prince became anxious when he saw the prince's silence, and said: "Although Jin is strong, its national power is not weak. At the peak, Zhao Zhifu is old. Yan State has always been poor and weak, and has no reputation among other countries. Furthermore, we have the support of Qi State. Qi State is not inferior to Jin State. It is a great country in the world. It is a golden opportunity for Qi State to unite us to attack Yan State. Besides, I heard that Jinyan is about to faint, if we sit back and watch Jinyan faint, wouldn't we be confronted on both sides."

The prince was a little hesitant when he was pleased by the young master's words. Seeing this, Gongsun Qi felt helpless, and secretly sighed that the prince was not as good as his father, but he still said calmly: "The national power of Jin is indeed not as good as when it was at its peak. Didn’t Zhongshan lose its vitality 20 years ago? Even if the state of Jin is no longer in its former heyday, can it be that I, Zhongshan, can shake it? The national power of Chu in the past was almost destroyed by Wu under the consumption of two sides. Is Zhongshan's national strength comparable to that of Chu in the past?"

The young master was at a loss for words for a while, then he sneered and said: "Doctor Qing, you really can make others' ambitions destroy your own prestige."

Gongsun Qi said indifferently: "Prestige is based on national strength."

Young Master Xi was once again at a loss for words, angry, said: "Should we just sit back and watch the people of Yan as our border and slaughter our soldiers?"

Gongsun Qi was silent for a while, and then said: "Send envoys to the Qi State to question, if you want to take action, you must first show respect and then fight."

Young Master Xi patted the table and said: "Too useless!"

Gongsun Qi didn't speak any more, while the prince was full of hesitation.

Qi State, Linzi.

Tian Xiang was drinking in the inner room while playing chess with his wife, Mr. Tian Zhao, holding Bai Luozi, and said: "Do you think Zhongshan will take the bait?"

Tian Zhao held the suni son and said, "I don't know."

Tian Xiang's face showed an interesting expression, and said: "This is your plan, how could you not know?"

Tian Zhaoshi stared at the chessboard and thought about how to make a move, and said: "It is up to people to make things happen, and the words passed by Mr. Bai are absolutely reliable. However, Mr. Bai is more convincing than his younger brother. In terms of vision, there is a lot of difference, so it is still unknown whether it can beat the Zhongshan Kingdom."

Tian Xiang looked at Tian Zhao and said, "Your father made you suitable, don't you think it's a pity?"

Tian Zhao said: "Father may be afraid that if I stay in Zhao, it will bring disaster to Zhao."

Although he didn't say this clearly, Tian Xiang already understood the meaning behind his words - Zhao Zhifu was afraid that this concubine would threaten the position of the Zhao family's successor and cause internal strife in the matter of Zhao's succession, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhao's family Siqing is more talented than you?"

After hearing Tian Xiang's question, Mrs. Tian Zhao restrained her expression a little. After a long time, she said, "Do you mean no shirt? I don't know if he is more talented than me, but he is tougher than me, and he is more suitable for the job than me." Patriarch of the Zhao family."

Tian Xiangqi said: "Zhao Wuxie, it seems that he is also the concubine son of Zhao Zhi's father, how can he be so praised by you?"

Tian Zhao's family laughed, and said: "My husband really knows how to praise people, does this count as praise for my ability?"

Tian Xiang said: "If you weren't talented, how could you come up with such a plan to tease the princes of other countries?"

Mrs. Tian Zhao sighed slightly, and said: "It's a pity that I didn't come up with such an ingenious plan."

Tian Xiang was even more surprised, and said: "It's not you, which magi is that?"

Tian Zhao said: "He is the one who thought of coordinating Yan, Yue and Jin to attack Qi, and the Three Kingdoms to attack Qi."

Tian Xiang frowned slightly. Of course he didn't like the person who came up with the strategy of defeating Qi by the Three Kingdoms. After all, the great war two years ago caused great damage to Qi and almost brought Tian's family down. Past grievances can be let go, Tian Xiang asked himself that his stomach is not so small, and said: "What is this person's name?"

There was a complex look in Tian Zhao's eyes, and after a long time, he said, "Does my husband know a man named Shen Zili?"

Tian Xiang's expression changed instantly. Of course he knew about Shen Zili. Not only did he know Shen Zili, he also knew that this person was an undercover agent sent by Jin to Qi. After becoming a senior official, he still knew that it was this person who killed Ayu...

Looking at Tian Xiang's livid face, Tian Zhao felt that it was so emotional, but to Tian Zhao's surprise, Tian Xiang gradually took back the anger that was about to turn into reality, and his face returned to calm, faint He asked, "Shen Zili? Isn't he in favor of the alliance between Jin and Yan? I heard that he has put a lot of effort into the alliance between Jin and Yan."

There was a touch of emotion in Tian Zhao's expression, and he said: "There is a kind of people in this world, they love fame and fortune, but they don't just love fame and fortune, but enjoy the feeling of being a master and enjoying the luxury that others can't enjoy. Will not be satisfied, will never be content with mediocrity, always fear that the world will not be chaotic, there will be no wars and disputes in this world, and people like them will have no place to fight." Tian Zhao paused, and said, "I and Yang Hu has a good relationship. Before I left the country, I met him. I wanted to ask him for advice on how to establish myself in Qi. In other words, he said that Shen Zili has never been a person who is willing to be lonely. He likes to show his talents and enjoys the feeling of treating the world as chess pieces and being a chess player by himself. I will soon feel bored, so as long as I ask Shen Zili for advice, as long as the time is right, he will help me."

Tian Xiang didn't speak for a long time, and said: "This person has no loyalty at all, so he can't be trusted."

Mrs. Tian Zhao said indifferently: "No one says he is trustworthy, but he is indeed useful. His strategies are probably useful."

Yan Kingdom, Jidu Prince's Mansion.

Gu Zhucun'a was invited to the Prince's Mansion, and after taking his seat, he saw Xia Yu and asked doubtfully, "Is the Prince here?"

Xia Yu, who was on the main seat, said with a smile: "The crown prince is concerned about the tameness of Yuyang's standing army. The crown prince said that he wants to train a decent cavalry force, so he went to Yuyang when he had some free time."

Gu Zhu Cun'a complained in his heart about his overly serious personality, and then said: "I don't know if my nephew invited me into the house, what can I discuss?"

Lone Zhu Cun'a didn't want to go around with Xia Yu, so he spoke directly, and Xia Yu didn't like the annoying routine of engaging in poetic occasions among nobles and then cryptically expressing that annoying routine, so he said bluntly, "Teacher and Shen Zili Are you familiar?"
