In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Zhiyao stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the sky outside the governing government. The swearing-in meeting has passed, and the mobilization order has been issued. At this time, the capital of the Jin Kingdom is full of tension and hustle and bustle, and Zhiyao, who is in the center of this tension and hustle and bustle, At this time, he quietly stayed in the executive government, waiting for a news.

Not long after, his confidant Yu Rang came in, and hesitantly called out: "Government."

Zhiyao didn't turn her head back, and said calmly, "How is it?"

Yu Rang hesitated for a while, but still answered Zhiyao's question, and said, "Shangqing refused to come, he said, he will eventually be the Patriarch of the Zhao family."

Zhiyao stood there without saying a word, and then for a long time, Zhiyao, who suddenly broke out, grabbed the candlestick beside her, screamed frantically and remained on the ground, then strode forward, grabbed the incense burner on the desk and threw it to the ground, maybe It was because of being too emotional, Zhiyao, whose five sense organs looked a little ferocious, was out of breath at this moment, and there was a different kind of sternness in his eyes, which made Yu Rang, who was silently watching Zhiyao's outburst, tremble with fear.

At this moment when the palace was tense, Yu Rang saw an attendant poking his head from a distance outside the main hall of the executive government. Yu Rang quietly exited the main hall with careful movements, and summoned the attendant who seemed to have something to report, and asked in a low voice: " What happened?"

The attendant said: "The envoy of the Yan State talked about the alliance the day before yesterday, and the Lord of the Yan State has responded."

Qi State, Linzi, and Tian Shu immediately turned around, looked at the scouts who came to report the news, their eyes were full of surprise, and said: "Is your news true?"

The scout scout said: "Indeed, it is said that Yan State has sent a messenger to notify the envoys in Jin State to agree to the alliance conditions of Jin State. China and the border of Zhongshan State."

Tian Shu waved his hand to let the scouts back down, then his brows were tightly frowned, his eyes were full of solemnity, and a few traces of doubt flashed from time to time.

Jiang Duo, who also listened to the reports from the scouts, also frowned, and said, "Yan Guo really intends to attack Zhongshan?"

Tian Shu frowned, and said: "A few days ago, the border scouts summoned Gongsun Qi, the chief assistant minister of Zhongshan Kingdom, and died of illness. Maybe Yan Kingdom felt that the opportunity was rare and wanted to take advantage of it." At this point, Tian Shu shook his head again, and said, " Impossible, Ji Furen would not be so confused, and Ayu would not be so confused. Although Zhongshan is in chaos, it may be easy to win a battle against Zhongshan, but Yan will not get much benefit. It is impossible to destroy Zhongshan in one battle. Impossible, if it cannot be destroyed in one war, the country of Yan will have grievances with the country of Zhongshan. The border between the country of Yan and the country of Zhongshan is connected. Zhongshan is the deadly enemy."

Tian Shu thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. He frowned and pondered, while Jiang Duo, who was at the side, saw this, and said, "The soldiers and horses have already moved towards the border before moving the food and grass. Could it be fake? The country is too rich, so it doesn’t hurt to waste food like this!?”

This era is different from later generations. There are mechanized means of transportation, and the transportation of grain and grass depends entirely on tools such as horse-drawn carts, ox carts, etc., and many horses are used as soldiers’ mounts in wars, so they are usually not equipped for logistics. It is said that the transportation team usually relies on ox carts, which are far more full than horse carts, and on the way, whether it is cattle or people who transport grain, they also have to eat, so many times once the grain and grass arrive On the battlefield, [-]% or more may be consumed on the road.

The difficulty of transporting grain and grass has been recorded in the history books throughout the dynasties. Therefore, when Liu Bang named heroes in later generations, Xiao He was the first. Legend has it that when Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin visited the imperial palace, he saw the portrait of a civil servant who was the lord of the general dynasty Xiao Heshi in the past, asked him that he had passed away, and paid homage to him as an emperor.

This was something about Xia Yu's time and space. Jiang Duo naturally didn't know about it, but as a lieutenant general, Jiang Duo also understood the difficulty of transporting grain. When going to the border of Yan State, you will lament that Yan State is wasting food.

Tian Shu shook his head when he heard Jiang Duo's words, and said, "No, the current territory of Yan Kingdom is adjacent to that of the Di people. It is easy to buy horses. I heard that their supply teams use horse-drawn carts, and the food is transported quickly, so the natural consumption will be huge. Small...if it is false, it is real, if it is real, it is false, is Yan Guo acting like this, is it a feint?"

Jiang Duo was taken aback when he heard Tian Shu's guess, and said, "This...could they even lie to the Jin State? I heard from our agent in the Jin State that the Yan State had sent a messenger to the Jin State to inform the envoy of the State of Yan, Agreeing to Jin's alliance conditions, willing to help Jin attack Zhongshan as a check for Jin to attack Qi, is this still fake?"

Furen knelt in the Taimiao, knelt under the spiritual throne of the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom, closed his eyes and prayed silently: the ancestors have spirits, and bless the Yan Kingdom to recover its homeland, and return to the old capital, the ancestors have spirits, and bless the Yan Kingdom to recover its homeland Returning to the old capital, the ancestors have spirits, bless...

Over and over again, Fu Ren didn't know how long he knelt and how many times he prayed, until the sound of drums outside the temple, Fu Ren opened his eyes.

Coming out of the Taimiao, seeing Xia Yu waiting there, Xia Yu also looked at the convincing person, and said: "Your Majesty."

Only these two words, the redundant Xia Yu didn't say a word, and Furen also looked at Xia Yu, took a deep breath, and said: "Ayu, these ten years of hard work, I will give it a try here."

Xia Yu said calmly, "My country of Yan will surely win."

Hearing Xia Yu's words in the ears of Furen, he stood on the high steps of the Taimiao, looked down at the palace of Yan Kingdom which was clearly visible below, clenched his fists hidden in his long sleeves, and said with a firm and stern expression: "We must win!" , We must win." When Fu Ren uttered these words, he looked at the south, and there was no hatred and determination in his voice.

In Qi State, Linzi, and the General's Mansion, there are scouts coming in three times a day, and there is no end to the news of the North every day. When the latest Yandi spy reports are delivered to Tian Shu, Tian Shu stands up from behind the case. , looked at the report in disbelief, and said, "The Lord of Yan led an army of [-] to conquer Zhongshan. Is Ji Furen crazy!?"

Staring blankly at the detective report in his hand, before Tian Shu could react, a servant of the General's Mansion rushed in and reported: "General, the old doctor has returned to the city."

Before Tian Shu could react to the news that the King of Yan had personally conquered Zhongshan, he was taken aback by the sudden news. The servants in the general's mansion usually called Tian Shu's father, Tian Zhi, the old doctor.

Tian Zhi was getting older, but he did not serve as an official in Linzi for the elderly, but still served as a local doctor outside. Tian Shu also persuaded his old father not to work too hard, but Tian Zhi sighed and said: "Old lady The teacher is gone, your father and I are incompetent, and we can't help the government like the old master, and put all our efforts to the Tian family, only when we go to the local area and can do something for the people of Qi, your father and I feel that I am not old and useless."

When Tian Shu heard what his father said, he stopped trying to dissuade him, and instead personally sent his father Tian Zhi to take up his post.

Tian Shu knew that when the old grand master passed away in the past, although Tian Zhi did some things that were not loyal to the people at the time in order to protect his family, especially his son, but Tian Zhi, the old grand master, single-handedly promoted him. The minister of governance, in terms of his original intention, has always been determined to do something for the Tian family and for the state of Qi. His father is getting old, and for some things, his tone of dissuasion is not as good as his wish.

Tian Zhi has been in the place for a long time, but now the servant reports that he has returned to the city, how can Tian Shu not be surprised.

However, before Tian Shu was surprised, another servant rushed in and said, "The old doctor has entered the mansion."

When Tian Shu heard this, he didn't care about other things, he straightened his clothes hastily, and went out to meet his old father.

Tian Zhi is old, his beard and hair are almost completely white, supported by his servants, he walked through the main gate of the General's Mansion, and was walking into the mansion. Tian Shu rushed out from inside, saw his father, and saluted first, After saluting, he fell to Tian Zhi's side and personally helped his old father to walk into the general's mansion.

Tian Zhi didn't have much expression from the beginning to the end, but the more he walked into the mansion, his expression gradually changed, with a touch of nostalgia, and later, when he entered the inner hall of the general's mansion, which was the office of the old grand master Tian Biao When he was working, Tian Zhi didn't know what he thought of, but he shed tears.

How can Tian Shu not know why Tian Zhi is crying, but what if he just knows, there are some things that cannot be explained, Tian Shu helped Tian Zhi to sit down, looked at Tian Zhi who wiped his tears with his sleeve, after a long time, Tian Shu opened his mouth and said: " The journey is tiring, and my father is old, so why bother running around."

Tian Zhi looked at this room, and then at his son Tian Shu who was respectful to him, with a complex look on his face. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Shu'er, do you blame me?"

At that time, the old grand master was seriously ill, Xia Yu had an accident, Tian Shu remembered to rush out, but was beaten unconscious by Tian Zhi, tied him up and locked him up in the mansion, and Tian Shu was not allowed to go out when Tian Zhi asked such a question. Knowing that it refers to the events of the past, Tian Shu smiled, with tears in his eyes when he smiled, and said: "Father did it for me, and also for the lives of so many people in our family. How could I blame my father?"

Tian Zhi sighed, and said: "Shu'er, I have been cautious all my life, and I don't know whether it is right or wrong. I am old, I...I can't see...Ayu...Although...I have always regarded him as Half a son, but you are my own son, compared to Ayu, I despise you even more."

When Tian Zhi said this, Tian Shu actually knew what his old father was going to say, sighed, Tian Shu looked a little sad, and said: "Father came here because I don't accept the appointment of the ruling."

Tian Zhi sighed, and said, "Shu'er, I know you have always been loyal to the ruler, but you have to know that the ruler is now the actual monarch of Qi, not the brother who used to eat, drink and have fun with you. What's more, his inner room is Tian Zhao's family, and Tian Zhao's family has always been regarded as a thorn in the side of the old grand master, if you continue to push the blame like this, aren't you afraid of causing trouble for yourself?"

Tian Shu looked a bit lonely, a sense of loneliness that no one can tell and no one can understand spontaneously, Tian Shu slightly closed his eyes, and said: "I... I don't accept the appointment of the ruling, it's not for my own sake Gains and losses, but for our Tian family, for our Qi country."

Tian Zhi looked at Tian Shu, full of heartache, and said: "I know, I know your true heart, but so what! The current ruling is different from the previous ruling, but it can accommodate some talented people, even if It is not the children of the Tian family who are willing to be reused to a certain extent, but what happened to Xia Yu in the past really hurt the military prestige of our country of Qi. People with great talents refused to come to our country of Qi, and people with small talents were eager to seek officials and titles, but there was no way. Great use, if you talk about the prestige in the army, if you talk about the talent that can be used, you are the only one in the end, but because of this, you are already very enviable, and now you have repeatedly refused Going to war, it is inevitable that no villain will take the opportunity to slander you, have you thought about this?"

Tian Shu looked indifferent, Tian Zhi saw Tian Shu's expression, took out a military report from his arms, handed it to Tian Shu, and said, "This is what the ruler asked me to pass on to you."

When Tian Shu saw the military newspaper of the Qi State government, he immediately understood why the old father came back from the place after so much hard work, and he came to be a lobbyist for Tian Xiang.

Tian Shu understood in his heart, but he didn't react too much to it. He just took the military newspaper silently, opened it, was stunned again, and said: "Yan Guo sent the city defense equipment and various armaments to Yan Guo The southern city did not send troops south, and the southern city of Yan State bordering Qi State did not increase troops, and the defenders everywhere are strengthening the city, which seems to be focusing on defending the city."

Tian Zhi said: "The ruler has agreed to your memorial, and is willing to send an army of 5 people to the north to prevent Yan from going south."

Tian Shu was surprised when he heard it, because he had not deliberately refused to accept the appointment all the time, but because he had a disagreement with Tian Xiang on whether to guard against the Yan State, so he disobeyed. At this time, he heard that Tian Xiang agreed to send troops to the north, so he asked: "Who is the general? Jiang Duo?"

Tian Zhi said, "No, it's the ruling son, Tian Zizhuang."

Tian Shu was startled, and blurted out: "That kid is only 15 years old, he smells like milk!"

Tian Zhi stared at Tian Shu fiercely, and said, "Speak carefully!"

Tian Shu's eyes were full of intense emotions, he stood up suddenly, but Tian Zhi stopped him abruptly, and said, "What are you going to do!?"

Tian Shudao: "It's a joke that the army is placed in the hands of a child who is not crowned! Is it true that everyone in power is Ayu, can a young general lead an army without a championship!? I will go to the ruling!"

Tian Zhidao: "You don't need to go. The ruler knows that his son is young, so he sent Zhao's entourage and veterans in the army to assist him. The reason why the ruler is doing this is because he wants to train his son to be a member of the army. , This is also Tian Zhao's thoughts, after all, you have been the only one in the army for too long."

Hearing this, Tian Shu smiled wryly and said, "Have I become a character like Tian Xu at this time?"

Before Tian Zhi could speak, he heard scouts shouting outside: "Report! Report! Report!"

Tian Shu heard the anxious voice of the scouts and scouts. He has been in the army for a long time, and he has developed the habit of scouts and scouts to report at any time, so he said: "Come in, report directly."

The scout was so anxious that he was out of breath, as soon as he came in, he replied: "The Jin army is about to approach Linqiu."

When Tian Zhi heard this, he became a little anxious. Although he didn't understand military affairs, he had experienced the battle of the Three Kingdoms and knew that Linqiu was the eastern gateway of Qi State. Hearing the Jin army approaching, he said anxiously: "Shu Er , it is important to deal with Jin at this time."

Seeing that the Jin army had arrived, Tian Shu also knew that he could no longer argue with Tian Xiang. He sighed and said, "Father, please go back and report to the ruler. I accept the appointment of the government."
