In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Tian Zhi smiled wryly.

Tian Biao sighed and said: "I don't mean to blame you, you also know that my Tian family once had a famous military general like Sima Rangju. In the end, Tian Lizi, the patriarch of the past, swore to destroy the Gao Clan and the Guo Clan. Until today, our Tian Clan is in charge of state affairs. Such a famous general."

The ancestor of the Tian family originally held the position of Gongzheng in the state of Qi. According to the current situation, he is the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. , but it seems to be born to fight.

You must know that in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties before the Spring and Autumn Period, the productivity was underdeveloped, and the accumulation of a lot of knowledge was very slow. Only the nobles who passed on the inheritance had the ability to record information in words. Because the accumulation was difficult, they cherished themselves with a broom. Many families monopolized Knowledge is usually just passed down from family and is absolutely kept secret from the outside world. This is why in Xia Yu’s time and space, Old Master Confucius is called the teacher of all ages, because Confucius’s "teaching without discrimination" broke this kind of knowledge for the first time. The monopoly of the country has taught many commoners many things that only the nobles can learn.

The reason why Tian Rangju is a special case is that he was born in a family that is particularly good at "economics". In this era when knowledge accumulation is extremely difficult and learning various skills is mainly based on family inheritance, he is especially good at fighting without a teacher. Qi State and Jin State have fought repeatedly and failed repeatedly. They have hardly won for hundreds of years. They have very few short-term advantages. A very important reason why he was able to compete with Jin for hegemony when he was in power.

Naturally, Tian Zhi is familiar with these histories. Hearing Tian Biao mention it today, he also sighed a little.

Tian Biao said to Tian Zhi: "You are also a child of the Tian family, so I don't need to talk to you about those empty words. My Tian family is indeed not in the right position, and it may be the reason why the ruling party has been worried about using non-Tian children as officials. , but this generation of Tian clan really doesn't have a decent general, otherwise how could we be oppressed and beaten so miserably today with the wealth of people's livelihood and treasury that we have accumulated for hundreds of years in Qi State? force."

Tian Zhi is very clear about what Tian Biao said about the fact that Tian's appointment as an official is only selected from among Tian's children. The appointment of the sons of the family also benefited from the practice of the Tian family in the past, using their own tricksters to entertain visitors and conceive children as the children of the Tian family. There are so many members of the Tian family, but there is no dilemma that no one can be used.But because the subordinates of the Tian family usurped the rebellion and took charge of the state affairs, they were naturally worried that his family would follow suit, so all the military affairs of Qi State were in the hands of the disciples of the righteous Tian family, and even Tian Zhi, a partial disciple, could not get his hands on it.This approach was reliable, but among the current generation of Tian's Zhengzhi disciples, there were not many good generals who could stand on the stage, which caused Tian Biao's predicament of being oppressed and beaten even though the treasury was rich.

In fact, both Tian Zhi and Tian Biao had read Xia Yu's letter to the government, and they were quite convinced of the reasons why they first went north to fight against Yan and then returned to Linzi.

There is no other reason. As the only leading general who is not a child of the Tian family who has been appointed by the Qi government for decades with the highest title and military position, Xia Yu's every move attracts suspicion, but at this moment, Xia Yu is disobedient. Zun, unwilling to return to Linzi under the order of the state government, this will even arouse the suspicion of the Zhengzhi Zhengzong children of the Tian family.Tian Biao broke out from Linzi when he was old, and forced Xia Yu to return to the army under the military order of the government. In fact, it was more or less because of his love for this talented boy, and he really hoped that this boy can go on the political path of Qi State. In the long run, Qi will have a general capable of resisting foreign enemies.

These considerations can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words, and they cannot be understood by young people like Tian Shuxiayu who don't know much about Qi Guochaotang.

When he was young, he studied politics with the grand master Tian Biao, and when he was old, he was recommended by Tian Biao when he went to Pingyin. Therefore, Tian Zhi understood the thoughts of this Tian clan elder, and because of understanding, Tian Zhi was able A little hesitant, he said: "Teacher, although Xiao Yu'er has a simple heart, he is still a child of the foreign family. Personally, I like this kid very much, but if he lets go of the army, will it be too risky? ..."

The words were not finished, but the implication was already clear. After all, Tian Zhi is still a child of the Tian family. Even if some people regard Xia Yu as his son, the first consideration is the interests of the Tian family. Of course, Tian Biao understood this, and said: " Is the child of the Wai family untrustworthy? Then turn him into a child of the Tian family and get married soon."

Tian Zhi frowned and said, "Could it be possible to find an elder in the clan to adopt Xiao Yu'er as a foster son? It's not appropriate. Although we didn't get along for a long time, I see Xia Yu as a person who usually jokes and is very amiable. But there is also a little bit of arrogance, let him recognize other clansmen as his father, and sacrifice his own branch, I am afraid he will not, and even if he recognizes the elders of my clan as foster fathers, how can he know that he will not regret it later? , and then return to the original family and resume the sacrifice of the original family, it is not appropriate."

Tian Biao said: "You're thinking about it, I have an idea, I want to accept this kid as a disciple."

Tian Zhi said: "It's not safe to accept as a adopted son, but it's even more risky to be your disciple."

Grand Master Tian Biao's only son died early, and he has never had any heirs since then. Many members of the Tian clan in the clan wanted to adopt their children to Tian Biao, but the grand master refused. This is why the current government is also governed by Tian Biao. Although the head of the clan sometimes disagrees with Tian Biao politically, he also respects and trusts Tian Biao very much. It is because Tian Biao has no children, and he has worked hard all his life for the Tian clan, which can be said to be dedicated.With Tian Biao's prestige in the court of Qi State, if Xia Yu was accepted as a disciple, Xia Yu would be promoted faster, and a child from the non-Tian clan would be promoted too quickly, in the eyes of Tian Zhi, a member of the Tian clan. It's really too risky.

Tian Biao knew what Tian was thinking, so he said: "You are thinking wrong, the reason why I want to accept him as a disciple is because I can't accept him as a foster son, you must know the Spring and Autumn etiquette, the same surname does not marry."

Tian Zhi's eyes widened instantly, and he said, "Teacher, you want to..."

Before Tian Zhi finished speaking, Tian Biao smiled and said, "You should know that the son is not engaged yet."

Tian Zhi blinked his eyes before he came back to his senses. It turned out that the grand master was paying attention to this. Although Xia Yu is not a child of the Tian family, he can become the wife of a child of the Tian family. People can't think of it!

But... Tian Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Yu'er never mentioned his family origin. If he is the authentic son of the family, I'm afraid he might not be willing..."

The authentic son mentioned by Tian Zhi refers to the eldest son defined in "Zhou Li", which states that "the eldest son inherits, the second son is born, and the bastard follows." If Xia Yu is the eldest son of the Xia family, , then asking him to be the "inner room" of Tian's son is afraid that he will not be in harmony with the etiquette.

However, Tian Biao dismissed Tian Zhi's consideration, waved his hand, and said, "When did you become so pedantic, who cares about those clichés these days, the Emperor Zhou himself can't take care of himself, who would follow that inappropriate "Zhou Li"."

Tian Zhi stopped talking.

Xia Yu and his party marched very cautiously along the way, closely dispatching scouts and spies to investigate the movements of the Yue people. Although Xia Yu cried on the wheelbarrow, she did not forget to keep the map on the biochemical intelligence interface open all the time. Staring at the surrounding movements, I am afraid that if they accidentally come to the reinforcements like them, the Yue people will come to siege the city and fight for help.

Perhaps it was Kong Wei's approach that inspired Tian Shu. Before leaving, he searched for the dogs in Pingyin City. Due to negligence, he was unprepared for sneak attacks.

When the march reached the camp of the Yue people near the outskirts of Linzi City, Xia Yu ordered the whole army to stop, unload the carriages, spread firewood and light them on fire, and attract the Yue soldiers. The method is to use colorful flags as an order, and each team of soldiers follows the colorful flags played by the officers of their own team, gallops on horseback, bypasses the camp of Yue soldiers, and rushes to different gates of Linzi City to enter the city.

In this way, reducing the target, breaking it into parts, and acting quickly can ensure the maximum number of soldiers entering the city. You must know that Xia Yu brought very few people to help Linzi this time, only 1 soldiers, and the remaining [-] people They all stayed in Linqiu to guard, to prevent the Jin army who had negotiated a peace from going back and raiding Linqiu again.

Tian Biao didn't say much to Xia Yu's military order. He knew his own family affairs. Tian Biao knew that although he was the highest and most prestigious of all people, he really didn't know anything about military affairs, so he naturally wouldn't open his mouth to interfere with Xia Yu. Yu's military order, not only that, but also followed the general's order, obediently got out of the carriage, took off the harness, got on the horse and rode alone.

If Tian Biao is like this, Tian Zhi will naturally not resist, and also came to ride a horse alone. Neither of them is a problem, but there is still a terrible problem that cannot be solved, that is, Xia Yu can't ride a horse.
