In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Gongsun Qi saw that Tian Shu and Yao Gu had reached a covenant, and his expression was calm. After Tian Shu and Yao Gu toasted each other and completed the simple covenant ceremony, he seemed to have no intention of saying: "The one who invited us to come to Yan is the Shaobao of Qi State. Xia Yu, Shaobao's letter once said that he would go to Yan to meet us in person, but where is Shaobao at this time?"

These seemingly peaceful questions actually secretly accused Xia Yu of breaking his promise and failing to come to the appointment in person.

At this time, Tian Shu received Yaogu's promise to send troops to the north of Yan State, and he was in a good mood. He was not angry at Gongsun Qi's implicitly accusatory question, and replied with a smile: "At that time, the Shaobao invited the envoys of the Zhongshan Kingdom to come to Yan to meet. Zhongshan State wrote back and said that they would only discuss it with my family's young guard. Although my family's young guard knew that Qi Yan was at war and it would be extremely dangerous to go to Yan, he still planned to leave. But at that time, the son was convincing and sent troops to harass Chang Di. In the city, Shaobao had no choice but to stay here to meet the enemy, so he sent Shu to meet with him." Tian Shu paused, and then said, "Zhongshan sent a letter saying that he would send envoys to meet the enemy. Now it seems that the journey is too dangerous. Mister Gongsun didn’t hold the talisman for the battle.”

The faint meaning in Tian Shu's words is that although my family Ayu didn't come, your Zhongshan country didn't send a proper envoy as agreed, so don't say anything about anyone.

Hearing this, Gongsun Qi just smiled and said no more.

After a lot of trouble, the covenant was reached, Shan Rong Yaogu and Gongsun Qi said goodbye first, and left "Yibin Apartment", but Xia Yu and Tian Shu couldn't leave in order to deceive others, and they had to wait until the owner of the restaurant really went to buy some leather goods It's safe to bring them.

At this time, Tian Shu felt that the matter was done, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked the owner of the restaurant for Yanjiu and Yancai, and started to drink slowly, and Xia Yu no longer had to act as a servant with Tian Shu at this time, got up and came to the window, Through the open window, I watched Yao Gu from Shan Rong and Sun Qi, Duke of Zhongshan from a distance, until the backs of the two people slowly disappeared in the downtown of Jidu.

Seeing Xia Yu's attitude, Tian Shu said while drinking, "Don't tell me, all the countries in the Central Plains say that Zhongshan is a barbarian. When I saw it today, I think this Gongsun Qi is very polite."

Xia Yu didn't look back, she was still looking out of the window at the market in Jidu, and said, "You think this Gongsun Qi is not bad?"

Tian Shu was really a little hungry, and while putting vegetables into his mouth with chopsticks, he said: "It depends on who you compare with, who you compare with Shan Rongtu, it's really good."

Xia Yu's expression was a little dark at this time, his eyes were still focused on the street to the south where Gongsun Qi's back disappeared, and he said, "You think this Gongsun Qi is good, but I think this Gongsun Qi, or the people of Zhongshan, is terrible."

Hearing this, Tian Shu was taken aback for a moment, put down the chopsticks that put the food in his mouth, and said, "How do you say that?"

Xia Yu looked a little far away, and said: "Zhongshan Kingdom is the country established by the Xianyu tribe among Baidi. The whole country of Wei, which is powerful but also a second-rate power, such as Chu, Qin, and Chu, was massacred."

Xia Yu turned around, looked at Tian Shu, and said, "Wei State, the capital was captured by Bai Di Xianyu at that time, regardless of age, young or old, all were slaughtered, the capital of a country, after the Xianyu people slaughtered There are only more than 700 people left under the knife. After the massacre of all the people in the whole territory of Weiguo, there are only more than 5000 people left. In a country, there are only more than 5000 people left. Not only that Well, the monarch of the Kingdom of Wei personally led the troops to fight, and was eaten alive by these Di people, the monarch of a country unexpectedly has only a liver left, not even a whole body."

Tian Shu also knew during this period of history that when Beidi people attacked Xing State and massacred Wei State, it was Duke Huan of Qi who led the allied forces of the princes to fight against Beidi, and finally protected Xing State and Wei State.

Xia Yu said: "Although Duke Huan kept Xing and Wei, almost all the north of the Yellow River was occupied by Beidi at that time. As a last resort, Duke Huan led the allied forces of the princes to move Xing to the south of the Yellow River. It took root from the north to the west, and later established the Zhongshan Kingdom. However, because the tragic situation of the Wei Kingdom in the past was too shocking, so the Chinese princes have always regarded Zhongshan Kingdom as a serious threat, but today, Ah Shu, you are so serious about this Zhongshan Kingdom. Gongsun Qi has a good impression."

Tian Shu blushed, thinking that Xia Yu was blaming him for praising Yi Di, and said, "I also think this Gongsun Qi is better than that Shanrong Yaogu."

Xia Yu also came to Tian Shu's case, drank wine for himself, and said, "I don't blame you, I just think that the Tu He Kingdom was also very powerful in the past, and it was the largest tribe among the Shanrong. Repeatedly invaded the country of Yan, and almost broke the capital of the country of Yan, but finally with the help of Duke Huan, the country of Yan broke Tu He, and Tu He has been in a slump ever since. At almost the same time, Bai Di Xianyu established the Zhongshan Kingdom. Since the founding of the Zhongshan Kingdom He was surrounded and suppressed by the princes of the Central Plains many times, but he was able to hold on all the time, and looking at the appearance of Gongsun Qi today, this Zhongshan native was able to learn from his enemies, learn etiquette, and learn Jin language. You see we mentioned that we should use bursts When the crossbow production plan was exchanged for their promise to send troops, Na Yaogu was in a daze, but Gongsun Qi almost immediately understood what we were talking about, and what did it mean?"

Tian Shu was fascinated by Xia Yu's analysis, and now he understood Xia Yu's question, and said, "This means that Zhongshan Kingdom seems to have been frightened by Zhao Zhifu these years, and they are honestly silent, but in fact they I have been paying attention to the situation of the various countries and the battles among the princes of the Central Plains, otherwise it would be impossible to know so clearly the power of the crossbows when we were defeated in the city of Linzi in such a short period of time."

Xia Yu poured the wine, didn't drink it, but dipped a drop of wine with his finger, flicked it out, and said, "Isn't such a barbarian who forbears and lurks terrible?" After a pause, Xia Yu continued, "And I still I feel that Gongsun Qi's refusal to send troops to help us may not be because Zhao Zhifu of the Jin Kingdom is keeping a close eye on the Zhongshan Kingdom, but because the Zhongshan Kingdom does not intend to send troops at all."

Tian Shu was puzzled, and said: "This...Zhongshan Kingdom is bordered by Yan Kingdom and Jin Kingdom. Since you have ambitions, why did you miss such a good opportunity to plunder Yan Kingdom and annex the territory of Yan Kingdom?"

Xia Yu also showed doubts in his eyes, and then said: "Perhaps... maybe the people of Zhongshan do not want to fight on two fronts. In the past, when Chu and Jin fought for hegemony, Jin sent envoys to Wu with a large number of letters and craftsmen to teach Wu. The people of the country made chariots, smelted weapons, and practiced battle formations. After the state of Wu became stronger, it continued to invade the rear of the state of Chu, causing Chu to fight against Jin and Wu at the same time. The two lines were exhausted, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage in the struggle for hegemony. The capital of the country was once conquered by the state of Wu, and the country was almost destroyed. Maybe the people of Zhongshan did not want to fight on two fronts like the people of Chu, because they only saw each other between Jin and Yan, and they were deadly enemies with Jin, so they maintained their relationship with Yan. The relationship between the country is neither far nor close, neither close nor distant, so come to stabilize the rear and recuperate."

Tian Shu listened to Xia Yu's words, then frowned slightly, and said: "Ayu, do you think these Zhongshan countries are too high, barbarians, like wild beasts, only know how to fight fiercely, how can they think so far? "

Xia Yu held the wine cup and pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of a clue. Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, no matter what the Zhongshan country is, the headaches are the Yan and Jin countries that border Zhongshan. We can't do it." To worry about this for them, it is important for us to do business.”

Tian Shu also nodded, and said: "Seeing that the Yan Guogong Clan Conference is about to start, I want to add fire to the prince's convincing."

At this time, Xia Yu naturally didn't know that in the near future, Zhongshan Kingdom became a serious problem for the young master, and naturally, unfortunately, it became Xia Yu's trouble. At this time, he was unwilling to spend any more time for Zhongshan Kingdom And in the days that followed, he exhausted his mind to solve this difficult barbarian country.

Young Master Furen rushed all the way to the gate of the west city of Jidu, and he showed the token, and the city gate ordered him to go down the tower. Guo Chu is in a hurry to die."

The reason why Mr. Furen entered the city through the west gate is because he knew that the gate decree of the west city was the confidant of the state of Yan—the confidant of his father in the life of Mr. Fu. Surprised, he said: "The clan meeting hasn't started yet, why is Father so anxious?"

The city gate order hurriedly said: "Young master, you don't know that there are rumors in the city these days, and the sky is full of rumors."

Young Master Furen was a little confused, why did he get involved in rumors in a blink of an eye, and said, "What rumors?"
