In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Xia Yu asked Yan Jun and the eldest son to eat noodles for free. There are many kinds of noodles, such as hand-rolled noodles, knife-cut noodles, and noodles with fried sauce. Xia Yu devoted herself to it with a very high enthusiasm. Stopped, pulled Xia Yu to ask, in the situation of such a shortage of food in the city, should it be so wasteful.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "Ashu, do you remember the old wine shop we used to go to in Linzi City?"

Tian Shu frowned and said, "Of course I remember, the best old wine and roasted venison in Linzi."

Xia Yu raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly, "You said I'll open a restaurant when I go back, how about it?"

Tian Shu was taken aback, and said, "Ayu, you?"

Xia Yu looked up at the sky and said, "Ashu, you said that when the war is over, what will the ruling party do with me?"

Tian Shu moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. After a long time, he squeezed out a few words from his chest, and said, "The old grand master will not let Tian Xu do whatever he wants."

Xia Yu smiled, with a bit of helplessness in the smile, and said, "Ashu, do you think it's really because of Tian Xu?"

Tian Shu was a little puzzled. At this moment, he felt that Xia Yu, who had always been a little "heartless", was a little different, just like a child who finally grew up and started to face the world.

Xia Yu looked at the chef who was busy preparing noodles, and said, "Ayu, my surname is not Tian, ​​and this is the most terrible thing."

At this time, a sergeant came in to report that the preparations for the banquet had been completed.

Xia Yu smiled when he heard this, and said, "Ah Shu, let's watch a good show." Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu's eyes flashed with sharpness and gloom, and said, "My lord is convincing!" If we can't defeat him on the battlefield, then use other methods to defeat him!"

In the Changdi lobby, a banquet has been prepared.

If Young Master Furen is here, maybe he will find it a bit ironic, because last time when Yan Jun Ji Fan and Young Master Bai had a banquet here, they were victors and ignored their "hard advice". In the end, at this moment In the banquet at the same place, these two people were defeated and captured.

It's a pity that Young Master Furen is not here at this time, and as the objects of the captured banquet, Yan Jun and Young Master Bai didn't have the slightest thought to think about what to feel.

According to the etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period, Yanjun Ji Fan is of the bloodline of the surname Ji, and is of the same clan as the Emperor Zhou. The monarchs of a country, Xia Yu and Tian Shujin, are both officials of the Qi Kingdom. The entire army of Yan was ruled by the Zhou family, and Xia Yu and Tian Shu were foreign ministers of the Yan monarch. Although they were foreign ministers, according to the "Zhou Li", a minister is a minister, and a monarch is a monarch, and there are differences in rank and status.

But at this time, Lord Yan was captured, and in this era, rebellious officials and thieves are rampant everywhere. Whether the hierarchy rules in "Zhou Li" should be appropriate or not depends on the situation.

Therefore, during the banquet, there was no one in the main seat, and the seats arranged by the servants, Xia Yu and Yan Jun Ji Fan sat opposite each other, regardless of rank, and this seemed to make Yan Jun Ji Fan very angry, and she was already thin and pale His face trembled, and he shouted: "Gu is the king of a country, how can you be so contemptuous of Gu!?"

Xia Yu looked at Yanjun Ji Fan, smiled, and then opened the case.

The table where the food tripod was placed was overturned on the ground, and the food utensils rolled on the ground, jingling and clanging, which shocked everyone for a moment. Xia Yu stood up, walked up to Yan Jun, looked down at him, and said: " I despise you because you are a prisoner, even if you are a king, you are still a prisoner."

Yan Jun's eyes widened instantly.

Xia Yu looked at Yanjun Ji Fan, and said, "As far as etiquette is concerned, I am a foreign minister, and I will serve you as a foreign minister, but you are not worthy."

Yan Jun was angry, and his beard began to tremble under the anger. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but Xia Yu shouted: "Shut up, listen to me now, you are the king of a country, you should put the country first. The soldiers of the whole country are conquered for war, but they don't know how to appoint good generals, and the Yan army with thousands of rides will die because of your frivolity. You are the king of Yan, how can you face the people, how can you face the ancestors."

After Xia Yu said this, she paused, and said: "This is too polite, let me just say it, in today's world, countries are vying for supremacy, and the loss of a country's national strength often means the country's subjugation. Why do you think that The country of Yan is over, you are still valuable as Lord Yan, and you will be treated politely. At least at this moment, I will not be polite. Why? Because the country of Yan is over, you have lost all the young and strong of the country of Yan, and the country has been overthrown. Only at night."

Yan Jun Ji Fan trembled after hearing Xia Yu's words, and then he seemed to think of something suddenly, raised his head suddenly, and said as if he had caught a life-saving straw: "Yan country is not over, there is still one who can obey others, my son is a military strategist!" A good general, very loyal and brave, will definitely defeat your edge."

As soon as these words came out, Bai, the eldest son of Yan, who had been sitting in the first place next to Yan Jun, silently pretending that he had been forgotten, turned his head suddenly and looked at his father.

Xia Yu noticed the expression on Eldest Prince Bai's expression, he took a step back, his eyes wandered between Yan Jun and Eldest Prince Bai's house, and then he asked Yan Jun, "How can you be sure that you can... The... frustrates me."

At this time, Jun Yan's eyes were full of anger, staring at Xia Yu, and said: "My son has never been defeated in serving others. He guards the Shanrong, and there is no military report of the Shanrong plundering the border! He leads the army to defend the Qi army. , and defeated the Qi army in the forest camp! My son conquered people and defeated you Qi people!"

Xia Yu smiled, tilted her head slightly, and said, "Young master is so capable in convincing others, why didn't you bring him here this time? Why didn't you appoint him as a general?"

Hearing Xia Yu's question, Jun Yan's anger subsided slightly. As the king of a country, Ji Fan may not be very smart, but he is not a fool either. He will not be unaware of his second son. Excellent talent in serving as a general, Ji Fan already regretted when he was defeated and fled to Changdi and besieged by Tian Shu, regretted not appointing the son to serve others as a general, regretted not listening to the son who was slightly contradictory that day remonstrance.

Why not appoint a prince to serve others?Or why don't you like princes to serve people?Knowing that his second son is actually more stable, more generous and more successful than his elder son, why doesn't he still like his son to subdue others?

Ji Fan would never admit that, in his heart, he was afraid of this son.

At first, I just didn't like it. I didn't like the rough and dark face, vulgar words and deeds, and the conversation without aristocratic demeanor.

But later, he was afraid. When he received the military reports of the victory at the border again and again, when he saw the son who was still dark and rough returning from the border, calm and introverted, dignified and self-contained, when he talked about the decline of the Yan Kingdom and the poverty of the people, he often showed The son of pain and compassion, it seems to remind him everywhere that he is not the son of a qualified monarch, he is afraid, he is afraid of this son.

Instinctively, he began to think that the elder son was better, like himself, with elegant speech, liking poetry and singing, and feasting, and full of aristocratic demeanor, he began to like his elder son more and more like himself.

However, everything seems to have changed in the war of defeat and loss, during the days when he was besieged in Changdi, and during the days when he was hiding in the tunnel and was trembling with no food to eat. His eldest son It seemed all of a sudden not so likable.

As far as the king of a country is concerned, Ji Fan may not be smart enough, and may not be absolutely "selfless", but he is not so stupid and crazy that he has no feeling for the defeat of most of the Yan Kingdom, so Ji Fan said every word. Gritting his teeth, he said, "If I do it all over again, I will be a general."

So Ji Fan regretted it, and Xia Yu laughed.

Xia Yu smiled and offered his hands, and bowed to the head of the court three times, and said in a solemn voice: "The foreign minister Yu reported to Yan Jun, the young master convinced people to lead the army to the south, defeated the Qi army, and surrounded our army. Changdi and Yu rushed northward, wanting to cooperate with Tian Shuli, and set up an ambush to wipe out the Yan army led by Young Master Furen, but failed. Our army fought with the Yan army for nearly a day, and the outcome was not determined. This general Xia Yu, is now I want to tell you, Lord Yan, that the son of a king is not only a good general, but also a good commander if he is submissive to others. On the battlefield, it is difficult to defeat him."

Yan Jun Ji Fan, who was originally decadent and embarrassed, heard Xia Yu's solemn report with the rites of a monarch and minister, and his eyes lit up for a moment, as if the whole person came back to life, but completely different from Yan Jun, the eldest son Bai His complexion changed suddenly—it became very ugly.
