I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 81 The sudden death of Qi Jun
The current "Linzi" is not completely fallen.

The so-called fall refers to losing the ability to resist, or the people in the city have surrendered.

The Jin army entered "Linzi", and the resistance force inside was only partially wiped out. Many people wanted to resist because no one could stand up and give orders, thus failing to form an effective resistance.

Zhiyao personally invited the merchants to speak, but only gave a guarantee that they would not kill or plunder, but did not say anything more, and sent troops to guard them.

The merchants who lost their freedom panicked, and then Zigong came.

The order Zigong received was to come to negotiate purchases with merchants. Of course, he did not buy from "Linzi". He told the types of goods that Zhishi needed, and invited merchants to bring the goods to Zhishi's fief. .

This move was very scheming, and all of a sudden, the merchants lost their panic, and turned into thinking about how many products Zhishi needed, and how to set the price at that time.

The reason is very simple. What they get is not an empty promise of non-infliction, but a related follow-up exchange of benefits.It is needed, which means that the Jin army does not have the intention of killing or looting.

"The crowd is turbulent, and Yao has orders first, so Geng can't do anything!" Han Geng didn't know whether he was explaining, or forcibly appealing to his respect.

Zhiyao thought: "If you are tough, or have the ability to solve emergencies, they dare to surround you?"

Zhi Yao didn't do anything to blame, not because she had any scruples, but because she didn't want to teach Han Geng to be smart.

Zigong came back and reported, "The rest of us have agreed to go to Jin next year."

In the final analysis, it is not the premise of Qi people, what the Jin army does to "Linzi" has nothing to do with those merchants, just don't mess with them.

If they are Qi people and merchants, unless they have a strong patriotic heart, otherwise their first consideration is their own wealth and life.

As for patriotism?Now it is a family country in the true sense of the world, and the family ranks before the country.

In addition, as a matter of fact, the concept of nationality is relatively vague for people nowadays, and the concept of country is only a preliminary ideology.

When it comes to loyalty, the current people have enough concepts and are willing to sacrifice to be loyal to someone.

Zhiyao frequently looked into the city, feeling that Zhao Bolu was procrastinating.

"Zhao Shizi has already left the palace, and the people of Qi saw the team carrying the sacrificial vessels, and they all attacked desperately." Wei Ju came over, and the team representing the escort of Qi's sacrificial vessels was behind.

What is the current ritual vessel used for?All kinds of important occasions need to be used. Generally, the loss of a ritual vessel either means that the country will perish, or it represents great misfortune.

Zhiyao was a little speechless. He had told Zhao Bolu before that if the people of Qi went crazy, they would threaten to destroy the sacrificial objects. It seems that Zhao Bolu either forgot or deliberately did not send a message to intimidate the people of Qi.

"Is it because Zhao's retainers don't allow it? They've already robbed, thinking about other scruples, what are you doing?" Zhiyao doesn't quite understand their brain circuit.

Zhiyao sent people to spread the word, which effectively deterred the Qi people.

By the way, what exactly is a sacrificial vessel?It is not just a single tripod, but generally includes cooking utensils, wine utensils, water utensils, musical instruments and miscellaneous utensils. Each category covers many sub-categories. Every ritual utensil has its usage. The importance of the tripod Higher is certain.

Behind, Zhiyao narrowed her eyes when she saw the dignitaries of Qi who were escorted out together.

In the later era, if a country's dignitaries were captured, they would either blackmail them to the fullest, or bring them back to the country to humiliate them.

Now?Blackmail and humiliation cannot be done, and sufficient courtesy must be given.

In fact, Zhiyao never thought of occupying "Linzi", the capital city of the Qi State. The main reason for coming here was to make a name for himself, and the goal was to obtain the ritual vessels of the Qi State. A big gift bag.

"Give courtesy, don't treat it slowly, this is a courtesy. If there is a fierce, killing one or two people as a deterrent, this is a bully." Zhiyao ordered.

To put it simply, it is miscellaneous.

The Jin army that entered the city was fully withdrawn, but the chaos in the city had just begun.

The state of Qi has had a characteristic since the time of Duke Ling of Qi (Lv Guang). At the national level, Qi people were encouraged to be brave and ruthless. At the beginning, the ethos increased Qi's martial arts style, and the negative effect was to make Qi state very Lots of ruffians and gangsters.

"Linzi" is the capital of the Qi State, and it is also a city with a strong commercial atmosphere. There are not too many ruffians and gangsters in the city.

A city in chaos is a disaster for ordinary people, but the chaotic situation is the best time for ruffians and gangsters to mess around, taking advantage of the opportunity to make a mess of things is not for nothing!

Zhiyao asked Zhao Bolu to put the frame carrying the tripod at the front, and then went to arrange other queue issues.

After everything was ready, the Jin army withdrew without the slightest nostalgia.

"Is the state of Qi dead?"

People from all over the world were stunned when they saw the Jin army robbing Qi's ritual objects.

Similar things usually happened when the capital of a certain country was breached, the ancestral temple was destroyed by the occupying army, and even the ritual vessels became the spoils of the winning side, and then the country that lost the ritual vessels died.

Some Qi people were crying, but they were just crying, and didn't do extra things.

More Qi people are just confused, and the rest of them really don't feel it.This is also the reason why the sense of belonging is not strong, which is not the case if the national consciousness is strong.

Zhiyao led the army to retreat, and arrogantly walked the avenue all the way to the west. On the way of retreating, it was not that he did not encounter the nobles of Qi who led the troops. The posture of the ritual vessel.

About "Linzi" was invaded by the Jin army and the sacrificial objects were taken away, the news slowly spread to the surrounding area, and more and more nobles from the Qi State brought their private troops to intercept them, and then they became "escorts" one by one. The evacuated team.

They really didn't dare to attack the Jin army where Zhiyao was. It is useless to hack each one by a thousand swords.

A weird scene happened!
The Jin army penetrated deep into the belly of the Qi state, and while retreating swaggeringly, a large number of Qi people followed behind their buttocks, and Qi people from all over the place rushed over after hearing the news, and joined the team following the Jin army.

They did not dare to take any violent actions because the Jin army had seized the ritual vessels of Qi, and they were not high enough to send people to talk to the Jin army.

Because the matter is too big, and there are too many people from various countries in "Linzi", Zhiyao and others have really achieved the achievement of being famous in all countries this time. Everyone has to admit that it is a skill.

In this way, when the news spread to the fiercely fought "Puyang" war zone, the monarchs and ministers on Qi's side were completely dumbfounded, and even Qi's allies were dumbfounded, and everyone on Jin's side didn't know what to say at all.

"Yao led the army to conquer Qidu?" Zhixuan knew in advance that Zhiyao was going to lead the army to take risks, and with the self-confidence that Zhiyao would not be in danger of life even if he failed, he did not stop him, but wanted to see what Zhiyao could do to which step.

Zhao Yang belongs to the category of people who did not know beforehand.

The reason is that Zhiyao told Zhao Bolu, Wei Ju and Han Buxin what they were going to do on the way.

At that time, they had already gone deep into Qi country, even if Zhao Bolu, Wei Ju and Han Buxin wanted to ask their father's opinion, it was too late.

"Plunder its national weapon?" Zhixuan was a little confused.

What a foolish thing to do!
What they didn't understand was how Qi State allowed five or six thousand Jin troops to occupy "Linzi", especially the ancestral temple area of ​​Miyagi.

The last time "Xintian" was also in crisis, Zhong Xingyin chose to withdraw when he was less than [-] miles away from "Xintian", but later Rongdi launched a surprise attack on "Xintian".

At that time, because of the need to pursue Zhong Xingyin, "Xintian" had only two "brigades" of garrisons left, and more than 2 Rongdi were kept out of the city. "Xintian" has been stable throughout the process. .

They fought against the allied forces of the princes in "Puyang", and the fighting was very intense. Thousands of soldiers on both sides lost their lives on the battlefield every day, and there must have been more injuries.

In addition, Wei Lu has been leading his troops to stop Song Jun and Zheng Jun, and their tragic level is not inferior to that of the "Puyang" battlefield.

Generally speaking, the state of Jin still has a certain advantage, and it is temporarily unknown whether "Puyang" can be conquered.

After all, before the final result appears, any subversion will be possible.

"This battle is won!" Zhao Yang said.

There is no objection to this.

Zhiyao's solitary army went deep into the hinterland of Qi State and once caused "Linzi" to fall. This alone can force the Qi army to leave the "Puyang" battlefield and return to aid.

Zhao Yang said again: "I need to attack fiercely, so as not to make it possible for the Qi army to come back!"

Of course Zhiyao is clear about this, and also knows that once the Qi army returns to help, Zhiyao's lone army will become extremely dangerous.

The rest of the Qi people could not attack Zhiyao's troops, they were afraid that the ritual vessels would be damaged.

Of course, Qi Jun Chujiu also has scruples, but as the king of a country, he will have fewer scruples. Once he is determined to wipe out Zhiyao's troops, he will do it later on the damaged ritual vessels.

Zhi Li, Zhao Yang and others discussed for a while, and when they almost came up with a solution, someone hurried over to report.

"Qi Jun is dressed in white!"

What the hell?
This is the death of some important person. There is a high probability that the king of a country has passed away, or else he has not reached the etiquette standard for the whole army to wear white.

Later news came, confirming their guess that Qi Junchu died.

Zhixuan's face suddenly became very gloomy, and at the same time, he worried that public opinion would be unfavorable to Zhiyao.

What are you doing!

The capital of Qi State "Linzi" once fell, and the country's important weapons were plundered, and then Qi Junchu died. The world will definitely think that Qi Junchujiu was driven to death by Zhiyao because of his anger.

Even in the late Spring and Autumn Period, it is still a bad thing to have the reputation of killing a king of a country.

Zhao Yang was overjoyed in his heart, thinking: "As soon as Mr. Qi dies, I can fight back in an all-round way!"

It's just that once Zhao Yang knows that Zhao Bolu is the one who plundered Qi's ritual vessels, will he still be able to laugh?
