In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Sun You and Qin Kai stood for a long time at the gate of the governor's mansion, which was the fiefdom of the emperor's concubine's younger brother, and handed over the letter of worship, but no one came to welcome them into the mansion for a long time.

Sun You was so angry that he paced back and forth at the door, his face flushed a little.

You must know that Sun You's grandfather was the clan's official, the official of the clan. To put it bluntly, he was in charge of these clans and clans. He was also the grandson of Gongbohou. Those who grew up under him, even the younger brother of the monarch, should also treat him with courtesy. However, if Gong Bohou disagrees, the monarch cannot openly violate the etiquette.

But at this time, it was just a magistrate in the fiefdom of a concubine of the monarch, but he dared to accept his invitation and let them wait outside the mansion. This is so rude, how can Sun You not be angry!

Seeing that Sun You's face was flushed with anger, Qin Kai sighed, knowing that Sun You, who was born rich and noble since childhood, had never experienced such idleness, so he went up to grab Sun You who was pacing back and forth, and said, "There is no need to do this." , In this small rural place, it is true that the magistrate does not know how to be polite, so why bother to get angry."

Sun You heard Qin Kai's words, but before he could reply, he saw the door of the governor's mansion was wide open. The governor who was in charge of the fiefdoms of the monarch's concubine finally opened the door. The governor in formal clothes rushed out and bowed. He trotted up to Sun Yuqin, and said: "It's a sin, the villain is late, please forgive me, the general, the villain has already held a banquet in the mansion, invite the two generals to the table, and the villain buys wine to apologize."

If in the past, Sun You still had the patience to sing with the magistrate and the nobles, but at this time the army was short of food and grass, so many people opened their mouths to eat, and it was unknown how much food and grass was consumed every other day. In addition, he had been left cold at the door by the magistrate for so long, how could he even have the heart to drink and feast.

Sun You snorted coldly and said, "No need, we came here to borrow some food and grass from Yizai, and the rest of the etiquette will be waived."

Qin Kai frowned slightly when he heard Sun You's words. Sun You's tone was not very good. After all, they came to borrow food and grass, so it is better to ask for help, so Qin Kai opened his mouth and said: " My lord, we will not go to the banquet. We are here to ask for food and grass, and we don’t want to bother you too much. Qi’s army is going north, and the country is in trouble. Please help me. If there is any difficulty, I will take care of myself Personally attach a letter and explain it to your lord."

The magistrate listened to Sun Youqinkai's blunt words asking for food and grass, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "You two generals, the villain is just a magistrate who manages the fief, but the lord is a subordinate official, and the fief tax and taxes are all required. Listen to the lord's command, how dare the villain lend it without authorization."

When Sun You heard this, he became even more anxious. He was about to speak, but was held back by Qin Kai. Qin Kai said calmly: "My lord, I also know what your lord is in trouble for. It's just that the matter is urgent. Where is your lord? Later, we will attach a letter to explain, and please borrow food first to solve this urgent need."

The magistrate was embarrassed, and then he said happily: "Two generals, how about it, as long as the two generals write to my lord, and the lord writes to agree to lend me food and grass, I will do so immediately.

Hey, two generals, the government has been fighting one after another. Two years ago, the monarch transferred [-]% to [-]% of the young and strong labor force from our fiefs on both sides of Yishui. Few of these people came back alive. It has been just over two years since the baby was born. It is also impossible to grow up and be able to do farm work in two years, and the tax on the fief is greatly reduced. There is only so little food and grass left, which is not enough to pay the official salary. How can there be food and grass to lend. "

Qin Kai saw that he had asked to borrow food but did not borrow it, but he still wanted to hear this little township vomit bitterness, and Sun You was so angry that he raised his hand and pressed his sword to be top-notch, and was killed by Qin Kai In the end, Qin Kai reluctantly left, and took Sun You away.

As soon as he walked away, Sun You shook off Qin Kai's hand and roared angrily, "Why don't you let me beat that grandson!"

Qin Kai was also angry, and shouted: "Is it useful for you to beat him!? What's the use of beating him to death!? He is just in charge, and he will not let him borrow money. If you beat him to death, what is the use?" What's the use!?"

Sun You drew his sword in anger, slashed at the grass and trees by the roadside, and shouted angrily: "I don't believe it! I'll send troops and grab it! The grain and grass are stored in the fief, and they can't move it even if they don't borrow it!"

Qin Kai said angrily: "How can you do things with no brains!? You rob, the land on both sides of Yishui is fertile, and it is no better than Jishui's perennial struggle with Qi State, which cannot be cultivated. The fiefs and monarchs on both sides of Yishui are all noble relatives. If you dare to rob, have you thought about the consequences!? That would be a catastrophe, and even your grandfather can't protect you!"

Seeing that Sun You was upset and wanted to say something more, Qin Kai didn't give Sun You a chance to speak, and said: "Even if you are not afraid of death, and if you don't shoot, you will be settled by Qiuhou, have you ever thought about it? It made everyone panic, and then they turned their heads and defected to Qi State, we don't need to fight this battle, just surrender!"

When Sun You heard this, his expression was full of resentment, and he was immediately discouraged. He covered his face, sighed, and said dejectedly: "It would be great if the prince is still here."

Seeing Sun You like this, Qin Kai's heart was also very sour. He knew better than Sun You about the private situation of the nobles in the country, especially the private situation of many princes and lords. The water in the cauldron has boiled, but Gongqing is like a fish swimming in the water in the cauldron, but he still doesn't know it.

Qin Kai sighed slightly at last, and said: "You don't have to be like this, I think you and I will write back to the government first, discuss with the princes in the court to ask for a loan of food, or submit a form to Guotu, please accept us. Admonishment, let me wait for the right to raise food, as long as Chaoli agrees, things will be easy."

Sun You knew that Qin Kai's words were just to comfort himself, what year and month would it take for the court to make a decision, and the day lily would have been cold for a few times, but at this time Furen was not around, he and Qin To lead the army, one cannot show discouragement no matter what, no matter how hard you work, you must support it.

Sun You calmed down slowly, and said: "That's the only way, I'll write a letter back to the court, and after returning to the camp, you and I will jointly sign the trademark to Guochu."

Qin Kai nodded, and then said: "There are so many fiefdoms on both sides of Yishui, I don't believe there is no one who is willing to borrow food and grass, we are trying, my family is also enfeoffed on the north bank of Yishui, if it is not possible, I will go to my fief to borrow food .”

Sun Youdao: "The land in your house is just old, and it belongs to your brother. You can use it? The two banks of Yishui are fertile, and most of them are lands of clan and officials. Hey, I blame my grandfather. At the beginning, I insisted on pretending to be noble, and regarded myself as a loyal country. I don’t want to take credit, but I want the barren land in the lonely place in the north, not the easy water and fertile soil, I can’t help but talk to my family at this moment.”

Qin Kai is the second son of the family, and most of these "subduing people" are the second sons of the family, because at the beginning, Furen and the son earned their savings for nothing, and many families in the Yan Dynasty doubled their bets, because most of them were not optimistic about subduing people. Therefore, most of the people who join the army and follow the servants are the second sons, and according to the etiquette, the family fiefdoms are inherited by the eldest son, and the fiefdoms of Qin Kai's family are naturally not Qin Kai's, so Sun Youcai said that Qin Kai's mouth may not be useful.

I know everything about my family, and Qin Kai also understands the inside story. After a long silence, he finally said: "I always have to try. It is a little bit to raise some food and grass."

Seeing Sun You and Qin Kai leaving with their guards, the king's concubine Yizai hurried back to the mansion, closed the door of the mansion, and trotted back into the house. There was a man in coarse clothes and shoes, looking at the Yizai, he said: "Why should you panic, my lord?"

The magistrate kept wiping the sweat off his forehead, and said: "How can you not panic, you don't know who the one who came is Sun You! Gong Bohou's grandson, the prince's confidant!"

The rough clothes and shoes said humanely: "Your Excellency, in the future, the high officials of the Qi State will enjoy the generous salary, so why be afraid of the nobles of the Yan State."

The Yizai walked around while wiping his sweaty eyes, and said: "This... I haven't agreed yet, I am the lord's subject, and I still need to ask the lord for his opinion on such a big matter."

The man in coarse cloth and shoes said with a smile: "Compared to my lord, the lord is also a sensible person. In this battle between Yan and Qi, I don't ask the lord to do anything. As long as the two don't help each other, no matter the outcome, the lord is fine, lord." Even if the Qi Kingdom goes to Yishui, we will not move the fiefs on both sides of Yishui, and it will still belong to the Lord and Lord."

Hearing this, the magistrate rolled his eyes and said: "My lord is the younger brother of the monarch, I'm afraid he may not agree to be with Qi..."

The man in rough clothes bowed long and said: "I'm afraid that adults will have to deal with it. If it is done, the benefits of adults will naturally be indispensable."

Yizai's eyes were full of calculations, he smiled slickly, and said, "I'll think about it."

As the head of the army of the Qi State, Tian Shu watched the news from the scout Xi Zuo he sent out, one by one to report the progress of the plan to instigate the nobles of the Yan State on both sides of Yishui, Tian Shu sneered while watching.

Seeing this, Jiang Duo at the side said, "General, how are you?"

Tian Shu read all the letters and newspapers in his hand, put them down, and said, "Jiang Duo, do you think we really lost the battle with Changdi more than two years ago?"

Jiang Duo didn't say a word. After the first battle of Changdi, his family Bie Tianxu was detained, and then he was liquidated and imprisoned. If Tian Xiang and Tian Shu hadn't worked together to save him from death, and his official position was not high, he was a low-ranking figure who would have escaped. After one life, when Tian Xiang succeeded to the ruling, Tian Shu immediately restored him to his post. He was very grateful to Tian Shu, but to Xia Yu, the battle between Changdi and Yan was too painful. , Jiang Duo didn't want to think about it.

Tian Shu didn't mean to ask Jiang Duo to answer, but looked to the north, as if lost in memory, and said: "We didn't lose, we didn't lose on the battlefield, battles on the battlefield are often not on the battlefield, but in the temple , we lose because Tiansu is holding us back!"

Seeing Tian Shu almost gritted his teeth and said the words "we lost to Tian Xu", Jiang Duo was silent.

After a long time, Tian Shu calmed down a little, and finally said: "In the past, Tian Xu dragged us down, and today I also want the Yan people to be betrayed by their own people and drag us down!"
