In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

A horse-drawn carriage was driving in the field, accompanied by about a hundred guards with swords and bows. Although the number of people was not large, they were quite eye-catching. Some farmers in the field saw that although they looked slightly sideways, they didn't have much discussion. Business is booming in the year, and many merchants from various countries come to Yan to buy goods. The merchants travel around with their belongings, and are most afraid of thieves, so they often hire a large number of guards to accompany them. Although there are many people in this team, it may not be uncommon. , so the farmers didn't think it was very strange. After a few glances, they went back to their farm work.

At this moment, the carriage stopped, and a man dressed in fine linen came down from the inside. He had dark skin and a tall and straight figure. The man got out of the carriage, and naturally turned around to help a man in silk clothes who got off the carriage. The brocade man wearing a veiled hat, when a farmer sees it, he will understand that this is a family who is traveling with the master, and he is probably a well-behaved nobleman. Except for the old-fashioned nobles, how can there be a master? Also covered up.

Advising people to get out of the carriage, strolling along the side of the road, watching those peasants pointing fingers, but not leaning forward, he sighed, and said: "This kind of behavior, why are you visiting people's sentiments? It can be concluded that we are regarded as a family of noble relatives, who will tell the truth to us."

Convincing appearance is too deceptive - no matter how you look at it, you don't think of nobles. When you used to dress lightly, the common people often didn't regard him as an outsider, and would talk to him a lot of heart-to-heart. For a long time, he went out of the palace Going out, Furen wanted to go out this time, but was stopped by Xia Yu, he must have enough guards, and the result of bringing enough guards was that no ordinary people dared to lean beside him.

Behind the veiled veil, Xia Yu's muffled voice came, and said: "Your Majesty is alone in the country, wearing a white dragon fish suit. If something happens, where will the country of Yan be placed?" Having said that, Xia Yu Yu's somewhat angry voice came from behind the veiled hat and veil, saying, "Why do I have to bring such a ghost!?"

Furen squinted at Xia Yu and said, "It's uncomfortable for you to carry such a thing, then you should understand that it's also uncomfortable for me to be surrounded by such a bunch of people."

Furen and Xia Yu had an argument when leaving the palace. Furen killed Xia Yu and said, "I'll bring guards if you cover your face with your hands." Xia Yu, who dug a hole and buried herself, said angrily: "That's different! Your lord is the king of a country, safety is the most important thing, and it is necessary to be cautious, but there is no need for me to bring such an airtight thing. "

Furen said very deeply: "In my opinion, it is very necessary. If you don't wear a hat, I'm afraid it will cause road congestion."

At this moment, there was a clamor of horseshoes, and a group of people and horses approached from a distance. Furen and Xia Yu's accompanying guards immediately became nervous, and they all pressed their swords on their waists, faintly on guard.

The group of people gradually approached, and the leader stopped tens of meters away from Xia Yu and his party. The leader approached Shi Li and asked, "Is the Yan people in front of you? We are passing businessmen, and we have no malicious intentions. We just got lost in the heavy snow." , I just wanted to ask for a way."

Furen looked at the person from a distance, waved his hand slightly, and let the guards get out of the way. The person who came was also very knowledgeable, and only brought one or two guards to approach him, then he saluted Furen and asked the way: "Excuse me. Going forward on this road is the endless city of Yan Kingdom?"

Convincing: "Exactly."

The man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, he didn't go wrong." After finishing speaking, he looked around at the farmland beside the road, and said, "Ha, I said that this land must belong to the country of Yan, and only the farmers of the country of Yan It was only in the winter that I was busy with farm work. Other countries were resting in the winter. The farmers in Yan State increased their livestock feeding. Just look at the sheds on both sides, and I don’t know how they do it. Well, the mares and ewes give birth to cubs in winter, and the cubs are not frozen to death, and they can still feed them. It is strange that among all countries, the price of meat in this country is cheap. Other countries raise such a large number of livestock, let alone enough food If the animals are not enough to eat, even if the animals are killed to eat the meat, it will go bad, but what about the country of Yan? Yan salt is really good and cheap, and the meat will not go bad after a year or so.”

The man babbled on for a long time without interrupting, and when the man finished speaking, he asked, "The City of Endless is not hard to find, why are you still lost?"

At this time, the deputy next to this person said: "You don't know this nobleman. The border of Qi State has not been peaceful recently. General Shu has returned to Linzi. As soon as he left, the Chidi and Beidi people became active and often robbed merchants. In order to be safe, we went in a big circle, but we got lost." Seeing that there were many entourages in the group, he opened his mouth and called him a distinguished person.

When Furen heard this, his brows jumped. Although the person in charge who came to ask the way was a bit wordy, he still had a bit of eyesight. Seeing that the person in charge was very accommodating, and the guards around him were well-equipped, he presumably had an extraordinary status. For causing trouble, he said: "Since I know that the city of no end is in front, I won't bother you any more. Thank you Lu, and I will take my leave."

Furen nodded slightly in return, and said, "You're welcome."

Watching the pair of merchants leave in the direction of the Endless City, he said convincingly, "Tian Shu has withdrawn his troops."

Xia Yu, who was wearing a veiled hat, finally took off the hat and said: "The Central Plains intelligence report came, and the Jin State concentrated its forces to attack the Wei State."

Convinced: "Wei State is the gate of Qi State, and attacking Wei State is testing Qi State."

Xia Yu turned the veiled cap in his hand slightly, and said, "Qi's expansion in the past few years has made Jin not dare to challenge it directly. Attacking Wei is a test, and it can have the effect of knocking mountains and shaking tigers, but it won't be too much. Directly face to face with Qi Guo."

Fu Ren's eyes were deep, and he said: "When Zhao Zhifu was here, the Jin State attacked the Wei State several times but failed. This time, the Jin State's attack on the Wei State will be fruitful?"

Xia Yu sneered slightly, and said: "If the four ministers of the Jin Kingdom are of the same mind, maybe there will be. If they are not, it will only waste the country's power."

Furen's eyes moved slightly, and said: "This is an opportunity, what if both Jin and Qi lose?"

Xia Yu said: "It's hard, Jin is watching Wei to fight, I'm afraid it just doesn't want to confront head-on, maybe the battle will be over before we make a move."

Furen pondered slightly, and said: "Send people to step up the investigation, and at the same time prepare the army for war. If Jin only fights Wei, next year we will attack Donghu. If Jin and Qi start a war, we will take the opportunity to get back the lost land."

Xia Yu sighed in her heart, knowing that Furen always wanted to take back Jidu, but also knew that it was impossible to take this opportunity to take back the lost land, but Xia Yu didn't say much, and still said: "No."

The interesting thing about history is that there are many things that people can't help but imagine if, but the so-called history has no if.

Qi State, which has annexed half of the land of Yan State, has become so powerful that Jin State dare not challenge it directly. How can Jin State, the century-old overlord, endure that Qi State, which has been suppressed by itself, can suddenly almost sit on an equal footing with itself! ?

In Xia Yu's time and space, the original Jin State's guards would fail because of the mutual suspicion of Jin State's four ministers, but this time it was a little different, because Qi State had become too powerful. When the enemy is strong, some grievances can be put aside first.

The executive government of Jin.

Zhiyao stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the cold scenery outside the window. Unlike the Yan State, which is covered in ice and snow for thousands of miles, Jin State is located in the south, and in addition to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, this is a period when the earth’s temperature is relatively warm. Tropical animals such as rhinoceros and elephants can be seen. In the winter of Jin, there is only occasional snowfall, so there is no snow scene to see, just a piece of bare cold.

The look in Zhiyao's eyes was a bit dark, and the position of the hegemony for four years was enough for him to become even deeper. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Zhiyao said: "When I just took over as the ruler, I had a close relationship with the then Crown Prince of Yan. Xia Yu said that Jin's hegemony will be made even more brilliant, but today..."

Behind Zhiyao, Zhao Wuxie said indifferently: "Tian Xiang has already sent envoys to visit the royal family of Zhou, and I'm afraid it's for him to ask for a title to rectify his name."

Zhiyao's expression was not disturbed, and said: "The royal family of Zhou will not rectify his name, no matter how shabby the royal family is, it will not be able to rectify the name of a traitor who chased the king and usurped the country. After all, the Zhou royal family gave Jiang the surname of Qi. "

Zhao Wuxie said: "It's hard to say, the Zhou royal family is not monolithic, and there is no one who is dissatisfied with our Jin country."

Zhi Yao sneered, and said, "If it wasn't for the support of my Jin Kingdom, how could the king of Zhou still sit on the throne, and the royal family still can't see clearly this week!"

Zhao Wuxie said: "As long as the Qi State grows stronger and its national power is strong enough to challenge our position as the overlord of the Jin State, there will be more and more people who can't see clearly."

Cooperating with Zhao Wuxie in the Chinese army and fighting with the Qin army, Zhiyao and Zhao Wuxie are somewhat familiar, and they also have a certain degree of admiration and fear for Zhao Wuxie's talent, Han Zhao Although Wei is close, the current patriarchs of the Han family and the Wei family, as well as their heirs, are all mediocre talents, not as many as Zhao Wuxie.

Afraid of Zhao Wuxie, but at this time the situation in the state of Jin has forced Zhiyao to let go of her grievances and work together with Zhao Wuxie, saying: "This time, I am willing to join you in the attack and defense, and Zhi's private soldiers are willing to join forces with you." The Zhao family will fight together."

Zhao Wuxie was taken aback.

You must know that the state of Jin often has a strong national power because of the internal fighting among the public officials, but it will not fight desperately. For the sake of annexation, Qi State contacted Qin Guobing to leave Hangu Pass. Jin State attacked such a poor and weak Qin State for nearly a hundred years. There was no other reason for completely repelling the Qin army, and they refused to contribute to each other.

Fortunately, Zhiyao had a "heart-to-heart talk" with Zhao Wuxie before sending out troops. The Zhao family is not bad. At least Zhi and Zhao's cooperation did not appear to hinder each other this time, which is comparable to Han and Wei Qiang. Quite a lot, and Zhao Zhifu's prestige had barely suppressed the internal struggle between the public and ministers, and there was a faint tendency to emerge again.

In Xia Yu's time and space, this should be the time when Zhiyao began to become domineering and arrogant, but because of the unhappy situation here, Zhiyao had to put away the arrogant Wood in her bones, let go of her pride and get close to Zhao Wuxie However, the dispute between the Zhi family and the Zhao family that should have surfaced during the attack and defense turned into Zhiyao's own promise to live and die with the Zhao family.

Yes, it means living together and dying together. When Zhiyao said that he was in the same rank as the king and fought with the private soldiers, it showed that the soldiers of the Zhi family would serve as the vanguard with the soldiers of the Zhao family in this attack, which is a bit similar to the mixed compilation of later generations. , There will be no trend of saying that the vanguard will consume troops first.

Zhao Wuxie was slightly moved in his heart, and said: "If you are in power like this, Wuxie dares to spare your life."

In the spring of the following year, the State of Jin sent troops to attack the Wei State, but the State of Qi did not confront the State directly, but secretly aided the State of Wei. In the front, the cities that were not difficult to conquer were left to other armies. This move greatly boosted the morale of the Jin state, and the Jin army defeated the Wei state, but the Qi army did not move.

Zhiyao, who returned from victory, was full of ambitions. When distributing the spoils, except for her own Zhi family who took the big head and gave the Zhao family a lot of spoils, the Han family and the Wei family did not get much. Greed is Zhiyao's consistent nature, but The distribution of this war, Jin State, praised Zhiyao as fair. After all, the tough battle was fought by the Zhi family and the Zhao family, and the Han family and the Wei family just followed behind to pick up the bargain.

In the spring of the same year, the king of Yan State Furen led the army again. After Mie Tu He, he sent troops to the northeast to crusade against Donghu, defeated several tribes of Donghu, and expanded the land for more than a thousand miles.
