Spring and Autumn I Am King

In May, the midsummer has just passed, and the trees are lush, but the number of Qi troops marching among the hills is comparable to the trees. 'Le'wen' 'Fiction' www.しwxs520.om

Even though half of the rear army was lost, the Qi people's team still stretched for several miles. The army in front was Young Master Yangsheng, and the commander Guo Xia walked with the army. This was a large number of heavily armed chariot soldiers, followed by a carriage convoy, countless carriages loaded with food, fodder, supplies, trophies and wounded. Wupi and his soldiers of the Gao clan were protected. After them came the herd, including pack horses, goats and scrawny cattle, and a small group of merchant girls. It was no longer Gao Wupi's department who was the guard at the end, but Guoxia's cronies.

It was not far from their first destination, Yunyi, but Guoxia was still careful everywhere.

This place has entered the hilly area of ​​northern Shandong, the hills are ups and downs, the roads have become twists and turns, and the flowing streams have cut the flat surface. The Qi army's slow marching speed has become even slower, and they have already delayed the road for two days.

The bad news continued, Guoxia arranged for the army in front to report, and there was another broken bridge in front. It took two hours to restore the state to the state where the army could walk.

"Two hours?" Qi Jun's commander Guo Xia frowned.

"Do you know what you can do in two hours? A troop marching fast enough to travel forty miles is enough to end a battle with a level of ten thousand people. Of course, the premise is that the battlefield is one-sided. For a general, two hours is already enough. It's deadly enough, let the son speed up, after an hour, you must pass!"

The messenger went in a hurry, leaving Guoxia to continue frowning and thinking hard in the car.

Needless to say, this must be a good thing done by those pesky Zhao clan's light cavalry.

I don't know whose idea it was. After Guoxia rescued Gao Wupi, the Zhao cavalry took advantage of their own speed and ran to the front of the Qi army. In order to delay Qi Jun's movement speed, these people did everything possible, breaking bridges, logging trees and blocking roads, as long as they could think of ways, they all tossed on this road. This made Guo Xia angry, but he couldn't catch these road vandals at all.

The danger not only came from the front, but also from the rear. Just more than ten miles behind the army, two Zhao clan divisions were following. They were the spear-wielding Lu soldiers described by Gao Wupi, and the Zhao clan soldiers who were lightly armed.

It is not a problem to be stared at by two pairs of unkind eyes all the time. Guo Xia also took a slant. Since he couldn't catch those people when he turned around, he simply asked everyone to discard the spoils they obtained along the way. It can make the enemy unable to wipe out the footsteps.

At first, it was a large piece of artifact, then a small piece of clothing, money, and silk, and finally the captured population. Qi people scolded their mothers in distress, while discarding the spoils of war they had plundered from Lu in the past few months. Guoxia hopes that these things will make the enemies behind him fight endlessly, thus losing the threat to him.

However, what surprised Guoxia was that, except for the enemy's slight pause when encountering a population, the other two hardly lagged their speed.

"It's really a good soldier... If there are 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers like this, why can't the dominance be achieved?" Guoxia did not know Zhao's extremely strict military law under the guidance of Deng Yi, but he was also envious.

These people crippled half of Gao Wupi's rear army through the night battle. They could be called elite soldiers, but Guoxia was not afraid.

If they dare to come and fight, Guoxia will be sure to defeat them within half an hour, but the enemies are all learned and will not fight recklessly. When you go back, you have to send it out of the country to give up.

What Guoxia worries most is where is Zhao Wuxi?

Once bitten by that person, a decisive battle between Qi and Zhao is about to take place. He didn't want to fight Zhao Wuxi, not because he was afraid, but because he didn't know whether he could lose or win, and because Guoxia felt that there was no need to fight Zhao, especially since he had all the imperial and national and high troops in his hands, the loss One teacher is enough for him to feel distressed for a year.

However, all these worries are coming to an end. Guoxia's response is too perfect. Let Yu Xi, Ran Qiu, Tian Ben and others do their best, and still do not let the Qi people stop. This evening, they finally arrived in Yun Yap.

Yun was originally an independent country, located between Qi and Lu, either under the control of Qi or as a vassal of Lu. Later, Jun Yun became Doctor Lu just like Xuju and Zhuanyu. After that, Bo Ying's line became extinct, and it became the fief of the Meng family. It was fortified by several generations of Meng family masters.

It can be said that if Yu is safe, the people of Lu will be able to enjoy a sunny day. If Yu is captured by Qi, the northern gate of Qufu will be completely opened to the enemy, just like what happened recently: because Meng, Sun and Heji returned to the city. Yunyi caused the Meng clan to fall to the state of Qi, and the Qi army rushed to Susi to drink horses in one breath, and once the front was defeated, the Qi people could also quickly return north through Yunyi.

Arriving here, Guo Xia's heart was half relieved.

However, when it was ten miles away from the land, the army in front reported that the gate of the city was closed, and no one went out of the city to greet it, and even the banner of the city head had changed its color!

Guo Xia's heart sank for a while, and a bad premonition suddenly came to her.

...

"Open the door!" Young Master Yang Sheng stared at the people in the city, his eyes were about to fall out.

However, the guards in Yunyi just looked down and ignored Yang Sheng. With the army of the division he was carrying, he could not pose any threat to the tall city walls, and even to shout, he only dared to shout to exhaustion at a distance of a stone.

Yang Sheng's voice was hoarse, his heart was full of anger, this encounter reminded him of the grievances he suffered in the past few years...

He was originally a high-ranking son of the state of Qi, and he was born noble, even though the Marquis of Qi loved him far less than he did to the son Tu, who was just born a few years ago. But so what? As the eldest son, Yang Sheng has always felt that he is not only highly competitive for the throne, the ministers treat him with respect, and the name of the son alone is enough to make him ask for hundreds of requests in Qi and make everyone lower him. one head.

But all this has changed. He was accidentally captured and humiliated by Zhao Wuxi in the battle of Qi and Jin for hegemony, and was brought back to Jin by Zhao Yang as the most worthy trophy to show off.

From Zhao's hand to Jinhou's hand, his treatment did not improve much. The four-year prisoner life spent in the Jin Dynasty's Xiqi Palace and Tongqi Palace was the most difficult time in Yang Sheng's life. Physically, of course, he can be well-dressed and eat well, and he will not be abused, but mentally, he has suffered all kinds of humiliation!

During his time as a "guest" in Xiqi Palace, he often attended the banquets he received foreign envoys as the right of the chariot and attendant of the Marquis of Jin. He sat obediently under the Marquis of Jin, and when he was called, he swung away. The Qin, Chu, and Wu people at the banquet were all watching him laugh, as if he was a small pet kept by the Jin Marquis in the afternoon. Birds that speak human words are used to show off the "martial arts" of Jin to the outside world.

The only one who has shown goodwill to him is that Jin is in power. Zhibo at least seems to have been running for Yangsheng's return to the country, and he finally succeeded. Although this was the war between Zhao and Zhuqing, Jin Qi has since After an enemy country becomes an ally of common needs.

Under the checks and balances of various forces, Young Master Yangsheng was able to return to the country as a friendly ambassador of Jin and Qi, but what greeted him in the country was not enthusiasm, but the indifference of Qi Hou. "There is only one son left in the widow," Qi Hou first met Yang Sheng At that time, Master Tu, who touched his knee, said indifferently, "As for the widow's eldest son, Yang Sheng? He should have committed suicide when he was captured by the Zhao clan."

Yang Sheng's life as a prisoner has already added a layer of shame to the son's name, the position of the monarch? Don't even think about it, he was abandoned by his biological father and forgotten, and now he is directly driven into the army and let him fight on his own. If he fails, he won't even get a farm...

As for the kingship? It has nothing to do with him at all, Qi does not need a monarch who has been a prisoner.

Qi Hou's contempt for Yang Sheng determines the attitude of the outside world towards him. Song Huayuan was captured by the Zheng people and he escaped from prison and returned to the country, and he would be openly ridiculed by the Chinese people, let alone Yang Sheng? Those eyes that respect the playful abuse, he deeply understands.

Therefore, Yang Sheng, who was well-behaved in Jin State, seemed to be a different person after following Guoxia into Lu State. He came up with a set of tyrannical and cruel methods. Only when he destroyed Zhao Wuxi's territory and killed his officials and people, could Yang Sheng make himself feel better.

Under the guidance of Zhibo, he regarded the Zhao family as the culprit who made him fall into such a situation!

However, Yang Sheng subconsciously still fears the Zhao clan like a tiger. After a few months of rampage in the state of Lu, he suddenly panicked when he heard the news that Zhao Wuxi would return. Young Master Yangsheng was the first to ask Guoxia to let himself be the back army, so that he would be the first to return to Qi!

Although Yang Sheng was not welcome, he was the son of Qi State after all, and Guo Xia didn't want him to be too embarrassed, so he was right. Anyway, on the way back, he was a city that had fallen to the Qi army, and there would be no war.

Yang Sheng was naturally overjoyed, and ran all the way to the north with the army behind him. If he hadn't ordered that he could not be separated from the army by more than fifty miles, he would have reached the border long ago. The rear army was attacked, and the army was slowed down. None of these could stop Yang Sheng's eagerness to return to Qi. Now he has finally reached the last step, but the gate of Yunyi has been slammed shut against him.

"Let the head of the Meng family come out!" Yang was so angry that he wanted to see Meng Sun He Ji by name and ask for a persuasion. The Meng family made a choice when the Qi army went south. Mengsun Heji, who had taken refuge in Qi State, returned to Yunyi, drove away his younger brother Mengsun Shuo and the clan leader, Fu He, and after he regained his position as the head of the family, he immediately opened the gate and let the Qi people go south.

Yang Sheng remembered that Mengsun Heji had a flattering look when he passed by this place. This man had been in the custody of Qi for three years, and what happened to him was similar to what Yang Sheng had experienced. There was a bit of sympathy between them. Mengsun Heji also said conclusively, When the war is over, he will marry a younger sister to Yang Sheng as his wife.

But now, his face has changed! Yang Sheng felt uneasy in his heart, but he did not believe the fact that Meng Shi repeated it again.

This time, his call was answered, and after a while, a general in armor stood at the head of the city, looked at it for a while and confirmed Yang Sheng's identity.

"It turned out to be the Duke of Qi Hou, and the head of the Meng family is disrespectful here." That man was polite and polite, although he was similar to Mengsun, but his voice and demeanor were very different from Mengsun Heji. This was not him.

Yang Sheng was stunned for a while, then shouted loudly and asked, "I want to see the head of the Meng family, who are you?"

"I am the head of the Meng family."

"Isn't the head of the house Mengsun Heji?" Yang Sheng was so eager to enter the city that he even forgot the etiquette of not calling people by their names.

The people on the city wall laughed a little: "Young master is talking about my brother? He suddenly realized that it was wrong to surrender to the Qi people. He has once again handed over the position of the head of the family to me, and he has fled to a foreign country. Now the head of the Meng family is still I, Mengsun said, Yuyi has returned to Lu anyway, and Qi is an enemy rather than a friend, please tell the prince, or choose another way!"

...

"Yuyi has closed the city gate, and the people of Qi can only take a detour. Does the general believe in our innocence this time?"

At the same time, forty miles to the east of Zhongdu and thirty miles to the west of Yu, outside a post station called "Fu Zhong", Zhao Wuxie was sitting on a marching bench like a horse, looking at it with a half-smile. In order to serve him for the son of Meng's "appealing merit".

"It was originally a fruit from the same branch, and I also learned benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and music from Confucius. Unexpectedly, one became a Lu traitor who led wolves into the house, and the other killed his relatives and expelled his brother to restore the territory of Lu, which made people feel full of emotion. Ah, it's not easy for Zifuzi to help two very different householders at the same time." Zhao Wuxi was not a fool, he let others fool him and followed Zifuhe's words, but he had already seen through Meng's tricks in his heart. .

Never put eggs in one basket. This is the usual method of the senior officials. For example, although they nominally stand on the side of the Marquis of Jin and Zhibo, the Wei family has always had secret contacts with the Zhao family. The lake salt has never been cut off; the same is true of the king of Zhou's official Shan clan. Shan Gong secretly sent someone to see Zhao Wuxi, promising that as long as the Zhao clan ensures that the Shan clan has no losses in the cities and territories north of the Dahe, he can also It is guaranteed that the declaration of war by the Zhou family against the Zhao family is only on paper, and there will never be one soldier or one soldier who will be the enemy of the Zhao family.

Zhao Wuxi could understand this, but Meng Shi really went too far this time.

In fact, the disaster was buried a few years ago. After the failure of "Falling the Four Capitals", Mengsun and Heji suddenly fled to the state of Qi and handed over the family to clean hands, said Mengsun, who had no excuse to depose Zhao Wuxi. Although this was the choice that Zhao Wuxi and Zigong gave to the Meng family, the Meng family's think tank Fu He pushed the boat along the way, letting the Meng brothers divide the two countries and bet on both sides in the war.

When the Zhao clan was empty of troops in the state of Lu, but the state of Qi was out of the army and headed south, Mengsun and Heji easily sneaked back to Yunyi, and "captured" the Meng clan's military power without any effort~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Mengsun said that with The identity of the victim went to Qufu to complain.

Now that the Zhao family has returned, and the Qi people have retreated in a hurry, Zifu He saw that Zhao Wuxie had a better chance of winning, and guided the plot to take a big turn. Mengsun said that he suddenly asked to see Zhang Mengtan, saying that he could make Yunyi again. Easy flag.

He did it. There was a mutiny in Yuyi, and the thousand Qi people left behind were either killed or **** by the Yu people. Mengsun Heji fled again as a traitor.

To put it bluntly, this is a play directed by Zifu He. The hero, Lujian, and Meng brothers play different roles, and at the same time ensure the maintenance of the family and remain invincible in the war...

"Zifuzi has a little cleverness, but be careful, these scheming of yours, not only did not save the Meng family, but harmed them..."

The Meng Clan still lost. Zhao Wuxi would not allow such repeated forces to exist in Beibei of the State of Lu. He could only guarantee that the Meng Clan would not perish.

But that is the matter of the autumn harvest, and now the more important thing is to move forward quickly and stop Qi Jun's retreat! They hurriedly hurried, and finally caught up with Qi's tail!
