Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 593
Zhao Yang heard in the capital that the Handan family not only dared to disobey the order of the great emperor, but now they are supporting the rebellion.

As the head of the Zhao clan, Zhao Yang wanted to resolve the family's internal disputes as a patriarch.

In the sixth month of summer, Zhao Yang issued a military order: command the commander of Sima, a native of Qin, to attack Handan and wipe out the Handan rebels.

However, after all, Zhao Yang was too careless and underestimated the difficulty of this battle.

It was precisely because of Zhao Yang's carelessness in solving the problem that a family battle of the Zhao family expanded rapidly.

The Ji family was originally a descendant of the Jin family, and later generations were officials and attached to the Xun family. To be precise, they were the retainers of the Xun family. Then Xun Yin, who had a heart for the Zhongxing family, became the eyeliner to monitor Zhao Yang.

Handan Wu was originally Zhong Xingyin's nephew. While Ji Qin marched towards Handan, he also ordered people to report the situation to Zhong Xingyin and Shi Jishe.

Shi Jishe was the patriarch of the Fan family at this time and the successor of the previous generation of Jin Guo Zhengqing Shi Yang.

Compared with his father's greed, Shi Jishe is even worse, and he colludes more closely with Zhong Xingyin!

Zhong Xingyin and Shi Jishe immediately discussed major issues and decided to rescue Handan City.

The Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan summoned soldiers from Yi to prepare to rebel with Handan.

Zhao Yang's retainer Dong Anyu was keenly aware of the swords and swords that appeared in the Zhongxing and Fan families, and had a premonition of the seriousness of the matter, so he reminded Zhao Yang to make early preparations.

However, the state of Jin has a decree that the first person to start a disaster should be punished with death.

So Zhao Yang planned to strike late.

Dong Anyu, on the other hand, believed that the situation was critical and he should strike first.

Seeing that Zhao Yang was still indifferent, Dong Anyu privately mobilized Zhao's army to prepare for the battle.

Sure enough, as Dong Anyu expected, within a month, the Fan family and the Zhongxing family launched an attack on the Zhao family.

Seeing the outbreak of the war, Sima Ji Qin, who was ordered to besiege Handan, stopped his attack on Handan, turned his horse around, and launched a surprise attack on the Zhao family together with the Handan army.

Zhao Yang fled the capital in a hurry under the persecution of the Fan family and the Zhongxing party members, and withdrew to Jinyang, the rear area of ​​the Zhao family.

……

When he learned that the civil war in Jin State had progressed to such an extent and was out of control, Qingji couldn't help being overjoyed, thinking that Wu State's opportunity had come.

Therefore, Qingji sent the five brawny ministers, Grand Sima Sun Wu, Yushi Dafu Wu Zixu, Zhisu Neishi Fan Li, Zuo Chengxiang Wen Zhong, Tingwei Botong, Da Xingling Kongqiu, Dazai Jiran, and Hong The four princes of the state of Wu, Xi, Jiang, and Heng, were called together to discuss matters in Zide hall.

Compared to the seven scheming and important ministers of the country, the four sons were just listening.

The major events of the country lie in Rong and Si.

They dare not speak easily!

"Second and third sons, the civil war in Jin is getting more and more exciting."

Qing Ji smiled slightly, and said gloatingly: "The widow has received the latest secret report that the Zhongxing, Fan, and Handan families are besieging the Zhao family, and Zhao Yang hastily fled to Jinyang to avoid disaster."

"The three families pursued closely and surrounded Jinyang City. The Zhao family is facing another crisis that has never come from the palace!"

Hearing this, the officials looked at each other as if they had guessed it a long time ago, and at the same time couldn't hide the smile on their faces.

Now Wu's biggest opponent is none other than the overlord Jin.

In the event of civil strife in the state of Jin, the most favorable state is Wu state!

Fu Que's family had the problem of the chariot, Zhao had the slander of Meng Ji, Luan had the complaint of Shu Qi, and Fan and Bank of China had the difficulty of urgent treatment, all of which are known to the Lord.

Civil strife in the state of Jin abounds.

The "difficulty in Xiagong" in Qingji's mouth is also known as the Battle of Xiagong, Yuanping's Difficulty, Zhuang Ji's Rebellion, and Meng Ji's Rebellion.

It is said that Zhao Dun, a doctor of the State of Jin, is the half-brother of Zhao Tong, Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Yingqi.

Meng Ji, the elder sister of Jin Jinggong, married Zhao Shuo, the son of Zhao Dun.

The main cause of the Zhao family's massacre was actually a scandal within the Zhao family - Zhao Zhuangji had an adulterous affair with Zhao Yingqi.

This incident should have happened shortly after Zhao Shuo's death, when the uncle and his nephew and daughter-in-law had a mess...

After the incident came to light, Zhao Yingqi was expelled from the state of Jin by brothers Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Zhuangji held a grudge because of this, and framed the Zhao family in front of Jin Jinggong, saying, "Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo are about to make trouble."

At the same time, the Luan and Que families, who had conflicts with the Zhao family for a long time, took the opportunity to testify for Zhao Zhuangji.

Therefore, the state of Jin killed Zhao Tong and Zhao Kuo, and exterminated their families, and the Zhao family's fiefdom was changed to the doctor Qi Xi.

At that time, Zhao Wu lived with Zhao Zhuangji in Jin Jinggong Palace.

Soon, Han Jue, who had been kindly raised by Zhao Dun when he was young, talked about the achievements of Zhao Shuai and Zhao Dun to Jin Jinggong, saying that if people like them had no descendants to sacrifice, who would be willing to serve the country.

Therefore, Jin Jinggong restored Zhao Wu as the heir of the Zhao family, and restored the title and fiefdom of the Zhao family.

This incident became the famous "Orphan of the Zhao Family" in later generations!
It's just that the version is different. The original screen of the Zhao family in the state of Jin was destroyed, and the Zhao Wu family regained the suzerain historical event.

This incident dealt a great blow to the Zhao family, and Zhao Wu did not revive the family until the period of Duke Gong of Jin Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the three families of Zhongxing, Fan, and Handan want to capture Jinyang City and destroy Zhao Yang. I'm afraid it will not be easy."

Bo Tong shook his head and said, "I have been sent to Jin State several times, and I was invited by Zhao Yang to visit Jinyang City."

"Jinyang City is backed by Longshan Mountain, facing Jinshui River, Yuyi City in the north, and Fenshui River in the south. The buildings in the city are made of copper columns instead of wooden columns. The trunks of plants such as Artemisia sativa, which are more than ten feet high, are mixed with eggs and salt in the soil."

"This is a rare and fortified city. The Zhao family just neglected to take precautions for a while, and was taken advantage of by the Zhongxing, Fan, and Handan families. Once the war falls into a tug-of-war, I am afraid that some changes will arise in the Jin Kingdom!"

Hearing this, Qing Ji slightly nodded and said: "If the three coalition forces attack Jinyang for a long time, the position of the remaining three ministers among the six ministers—Zhi Bi, Han Buxin, and Wei Lu—will become the key to the war."

"At this time, the configuration of the six ministers of the Jin Kingdom is already full of contradictions.

"According to the information I have, Xun Li and Zhao Yang are at odds with each other, Xun Yin and Han Buxin hate each other, Wei Lu and Shi Jishe hate each other."

"Therefore, Xun Li, his favorite minister Liang Yingfu, Han Buxin, Wei Lu, and Gao Yi, an offshoot of the Fan family, are already conspiring to expel Xun Yin and replace Zhongxing's position with Liang Yingfu."

"Get rid of Shi Jishe, and Shi Gaoyi will be the head of the Fan family..."

hiss!
When Sun Wu, Fan Li, and Wu Zixu's ministers heard this, they all gasped and were shocked.

Is the black ice platform in Qingji's hands already so powerful?
To be able to understand the secret talks of Jin's high-level officials in every pervasive way, and even their general strategy is clear?
Horror!
It is conceivable that if the other three ministers among the six ministers participated, this civil war in Jin would definitely become more complicated and confusing.
