In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

In Jicheng, the capital of the Kingdom of Yan, in the mansion, there is a man dressed plainly, without any ornaments, no jewels on his crown, with a dark complexion, sitting squatting on the main seat, looking down at the piles of bamboo slips on the table.

When I was young, someone came to report, and the dark-faced person behind the main seat raised his head to allow people outside the house to enter the hall.

The visitor entered the hall, knelt down in front of the main seat and saluted, saying: "I will pay my respects to Mr. Furen."

Mr. Furen saw that the person who came was the scout General Yu from his army, he hurriedly got up from behind the chief seat, helped him up, and said: "There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be restrained, how is your scouting?"

He was supported by the young master who was being served, and he heard the question, and said: "I received an order from the young master at the border, and immediately went to Daidigu City to investigate. There seems to be an army mobilization at the border between Zhongshan Kingdom and our Yan Kingdom, but the scale is not large. According to my judgment, it doesn't look like an intentional attack on our border city of Yan Kingdom, but rather a defensive posture."

Mr. Furen let out a long sigh of relief, and said: "The day before yesterday, a business traveler came to report that there was a change in the Zhongshan state. This time, my father-in-law and my elder brother rushed to join the army from the south. The country of Yan is empty. I am worried that if there is any change in Zhongshan. , There are no soldiers in the country who can defend, so two hundred chariots were sent to Daidi the day before yesterday to help the border guards."

The scout general heard a big difference, and said: "Young master, where are there still two hundred troops in the country?"

Mr. Furen smiled and said: "There are no two hundred soldiers, so I ordered the leading generals to place straw men on top of the chariots, pretending to charge the soldiers, and intimidating the people of Zhongshan. After this false threat, the Di people who want to come to Zhongshan dare not cross the border."

Under the circumstance that the domestic defenders are empty, Mr. Furen's actions are very clever, but the scout general did not see any joy, but was a little bit annoyed, saying: "Mr. someone else."

Mr. Furen didn't show any joy or anger on his face, he just said indifferently: "Your father and elder brother's attack on Qi was originally for the sake of the state, and my intimidation of Zhongshan was also for the sake of the state. I did my best for the country. There is no advantage for anyone." statement."

General Scout still wanted to say something, Young Master Furen waved his hand and said, "Stop talking about that, let's talk about the situation of Jin's attack on Qi."

When the topic turned to the battle between Jin and Qi, you could divert your attention and said, "My lord, I just received a secret report from the border scouts, and the Jin army has been defeated!"

Mr. Furen's face, which was usually dark and ignorant of joy and anger, now had a faint look of surprise, and said: "Half a year ago, the Jin army defeated the Qi army, captured and killed more than [-] Qi soldiers, and Qi lost [-] chariots. Yu Cheng, at this time, the western part of the Qi State is empty of troops, and there are border crossings in the southern part, yet they have won the battle! Tell me quickly how you won the battle."

You said: "Several months ago, my son, you asked me to strictly investigate the abnormal situation in Pingyin City. At that time, I still thought that Pingyin City was a place where Jin and Qi were fighting, and had nothing to do with my country of Yan. After you reprimanded me, my son, I I just paid more attention to Pingyin City. Thanks to the son’s reprimand, otherwise, the subordinates would not have known the defeat of the Jin army so quickly, and they would not have known that the defeat of the Jin army was the young general appointed by the Pingyin doctor Tian Zhi If that's the case, I, the scout general, will be dereliction of duty."

Mr. Furen frowned slightly, and said: "You said that the defeat of the Jin army was given by the young general of Pingyin City?"

Youdao: "That's right, my subordinates have already found out that the young general's name is Xia Yu."

Mr. Furen was taken aback, and said: "Xia Yu, I have never heard that there are noble relatives of the Xia family in Qi."

Youdao: "I heard that Xia Yu was born as a petty official."

Mr. Furen pondered for a while and said, "Talk about the process of the Jin army's defeat in detail."

You said: "Young master, this matter has been so in the past..."

Han Qing was very happy when he entered Linqiu City. He was imprisoned in the dungeon for so many days, without seeing the light of day and without food. He went back to his residence in the city, bathed and changed clothes, and ordered his attendants to prepare a banquet and invite Xia Yu over.

Xia Yu came to Han Qing's residence, Han Qing ran out of the house barefoot, grabbed Xia Yu's arm and pulled him into the house, saying: "Adi, come quickly, you haven't eaten yet, I ordered the cook to cook it." There are a lot of delicious food, come and taste it.”

Xia Yu thought of Adidas for a moment when he heard Adidas call, but then he quickly shook his head and forgot about the past years, and followed Han Qing into the room. To be honest, he really has no interest in the so-called food of this era. Many things are cooked with a tripod, and there are no seasonings such as onion and ginger sauce. Because most of the tripods are very thick, things cooked with a tripod often need to be cooked on a high fire, and the direct result of the high fire is that there is a lot of soot in the soup. , It's really disgusting to see.In addition, the main crop in the north in this era is wheat, and the staple food is naturally porridge and wheat cakes. The husking technology is not superb. Whether it is porridge or wheat cakes, there are many chaffs in it, which is like a small knife, which is difficult to eat.When he was in Pingyin City, he was embarrassed to ask for more food because of the crisis of war, but Xia Yu had already made up his mind. In the future, when he had done several large dungeons in a row and had capital, he must take out the iron pot and shell. After tossing out of the machine, at least I can eat something that people eat.

However, Han Qing naturally didn't know about these psychological activities. He just wanted to drink and get close to the "Adi" in his heart, and Xia Yu also had a plan at this time, so naturally he would not refuse, so he pretended to be a snake and went into the room to drink with Han Qing.

So far, Han Qing called Xia Yu to drink every day, and the eyes that looked at Xia Yu became more blurred day by day, and the eyes of all the soldiers in Linqiu City looked at Xia Yu more and more strangely.

Seeing that Han Qing seemed to trust her very much, Xia Yu didn't want to think about him, and only thought that Han Qing was grateful for his life-saving grace, so she whispered in Han Qing's ear: "I am a newcomer, and I have been loved by the general, but I am born in a different place. I'm familiar with it, and I'm terrified in my heart, and I hope that the general will introduce some people from Jin to me to get acquainted."

At this time, Han Qing was fascinated by Xia Yu, and he obeyed. He immediately invited many Jin army officers to have a banquet with Xia Yu, and these Jin army officers who came to the banquet would always show some weird smiles when they looked at Xia Yu , looked up and down ambiguously, making Xia Yu scratch her head, unable to figure out why.But at this moment, he didn't care about that much, because every year at this time in the land of Qilu, there will be continuous rain, and the Pu River will skyrocket. Kong Wei will build a dam under Pingyin City to divert water. Pingyin broke the city in the blink of an eye, so Xia Yu wanted to complete the task wholeheartedly, so naturally he didn't care about other people's eyes

Day after day after such a banquet, Xia Yu got acquainted with the officers of the Jin army in the city, and secretly ordered the Qi soldiers who followed him to put white paper kites in the city. The white kite immediately returned to Pingyin City to report to Tian Shu.

That night, Tian Shu led [-] cavalry, each carrying a pack of barley cakes enough to last for three days, with horseshoes wrapped in cloth towels, and without torches or lights, they left the city at the starry night from the east gate, and walked along the road from the east of Pingyin City to suppress robbers. The mountain path I found, I stayed by day and came out at night, carefully made a big circle to avoid Kong Wei's camp, and ran to a canyon near the city of Linqiu to station.
