A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 51
A heavy rain washed away the remaining beacon smoke in the city of Haojing, washing away the remaining bloody smell in the city.The dilapidated city of Haojing stands on this rich land of pickaxes, telling the ups and downs of hundreds of years.

The old Zhou people who had been ravaged by the Rongdi also returned to this Haojing city. Even though it was dilapidated, it was still a symbol of Bangzhou's glory for hundreds of years.

Ji Yijiu stood on the altar, and the princes stood around the altar holding flags according to their status.After a grand sacrifice ceremony, Ji Yijiu came to the throne.

Then, Zhou Tianzi, who had just ascended the throne, ordered to move the capital to Luoyi.It is not that simple to move the capital. It is thousands of miles from Haojing to Luoyi. To move the capital is not only the emperor, but also the ancestral temple.

The old Zhou people in Haojing had mixed feelings about Ji Yijiu. After all, his father, King Zhou You, attacked the State of Shen and returned in a big defeat. The people of the country suffered heavy casualties. Looted Haojing.

This made the Zhou people in the land of Haojing unwilling to accept him, which is another reason why Ji Yijiu wanted to move eastward.

In the sky, Zijue watched quietly in Haojing. The army of princes guarded Zhou Tianzi heading east, and there were still a large number of Zhou people in the land of Fenghao.

[You Wang collapsed, Ping Wang moved eastward, and the Western Zhou Dynasty perished. History opened a new chapter. Your family has successfully continued to this point. You have obtained a ground-level item——Thousands of Miles Divine Walking Talisman]

[Earth-level props: Amulet of Thousand Miles: After use, it can appear anywhere within a thousand miles in an instant, and can only be used by one person. 】

This prop is perfect for escape or assassination.However, running away should not be necessary. After all, Zijue has a blessed place where future generations can enter and hide, so this item is likely to be used for assassination.

Ji Yijiu moved the capital to Luoyi, and then appointed Qin Xianggong to "be ordered by the king" to take care of the state Zhou Zudi.Then he went to Luoyi under the protection of Jin Wenhou and Zheng Wugong.

Zhou Tianzi appointed Zheng Wu Gongwei as Situ, and together with Jin Wenhou, he assisted Zhou Tianzi in governing the country.It's just that when Ji Yijiu was about to flex his muscles and rejuvenate the state, another news came that Wang Jiqingshi and Guo Gonghan of Gaojing were supporting the prince Ji Yuchen.

For a while, Bangzhou actually had two emperors.This caused Zhou Tianzi's modest majesty to fall again.

The fall of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the eastward relocation of King Ping did not have much impact on the Huai State.After Wen publicly dug Hangou decades ago, the flow of materials in Huai State became smoother.The next three Dukes of Huai developed according to the strategy set by Duke Wen, and now Huai State is at its peak.

The establishment of Yangzhou and the excavation of Hangou also gave Huai State the confidence to conquer Wu State.Just when the Zhou family moved eastward, Huai State also started the war against Wu State.

After more than [-] years of development by the three generations of Duke Huaijing, Duke Huaixiang, and Duke Huaimu, Wang Sheng began to attack Wu after he ascended the throne.

Because Wu is also a big country, Wang Sheng never thought that Wu would be destroyed in the first battle, which is unrealistic.Wang Sheng conquered an army of [-], stationed in Yang, and prepared to attack Wu.

There was a lot of movement about the mobilization of the army, and soon Wu Hou Yiwu knew about it.At this time, although the state of Wu was strong, it was located in a remote place and was far inferior to the state of Huai. When it heard that the army of the state of Huai was coming to attack, the state of Wu quickly sent envoys to ask for help from Qi, Lu, Chu and other countries.

Wu Guo sent several missions to set off, while mobilizing a large army to prepare for battle.

Qi State, Linzi.

In the palace, Marquis Qi was receiving envoys from the state of Wu.

The envoy to the state of Qi was the younger brother of the current Marquis of Wu, Ji Li, who was a well-known gentleman in the state of Wu.

Qi Hou was very happy to see him, and said softly: "Young Master Li of the State of Wu, are you satisfied with the reception of the State of Qi?"

Ji Li bowed and said: "Marquis Qi, I'm just the son of Wu, and you treat me with such etiquette, which makes me feel terrified."

Hearing what Ji Li said, Qi Hou was very happy, so he asked the musicians to play music and the dancers to perform singing and dancing.When watching the dance music of "Xiao Shao", Ji Li said: "This is really the pinnacle of virtue, it is so great, just like the sky encompasses everything, and the earth bears everything. Da Shun's virtue is even higher. My virtue is not enough, so I dare not appreciate it any more."

Qihou was very happy, so he asked the musicians to stop: "Young Master Li, how does the scene of Qi compare with that of Wu?"

Ji Li said seriously: "Marquis Qi, your country is a big country with a huge population and prosperous commerce and trade. Linzi alone has countless people. People on the street can be seen by simply raising their hands. Blocking the sun, they waved their sweat, and the ground seemed to have rained, and the people who came and went, shoulder to shoulder, and foot to foot, are worthy of the atmosphere of a big country.”

"It must be because of your good governance, Marquis Qi, that the prosperity of Qi State can be achieved."

Hearing Ji Li's praise, Marquis Qi was very happy, and couldn't help laughing out loud, and the ministers and ministers of Qi around him also laughed proudly.

"Young Master Li, you really are a gentleman. There must be something important to send an envoy this time."

"Qihou, my country Wu and Qi are both states conferred by Bangzhou. Although Huaiguo has also been canonized, it is basically a remnant of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. It has fought against Bangzhou many times in the past hundred years. Now Huaiguo is powerful. , attacking our country of Wu, this is a violation of Zhou etiquette, please also send troops from Qi to help us defeat Huai."

Qihou nodded and agreed with Ji Li's statement, but because of repeated failures in the battle with Huai, Qihou didn't want to send troops: "You are right, but there has been no confrontation between Qi and Huai for decades. There is a war, and I don’t want the people of the country to be involved in this war that is destined to be of no benefit.”

"Does Marquis Qi know why Huai State wanted to attack Wu State?" Ji Li asked.

"May I ask what is the reason?" Qi Hou asked.

Ji Li got up and came to the main hall: "Qi and Wu are located on both sides of Huai, one north and one south. If Huai attacks Qi, Wu will be behind. This move is like a sharp knife against the back. How dare Huai go all out?" Attacking Qi? Now that Huai is strong and Wu is weak, if Huai attacks Wu, Wu will be unstoppable."

"If the State of Wu is defeated, it will not dare to plunder its front and cede its land for peace. At that time, Huai State will fight with Qi again, and there will be no worries. Although Qi State is strong, the Huai people are good at fighting and have the prestige of great victory. Qi State How can I stop it?"

"Therefore, I ask the Marquis of Qi to send troops. Although it is to relieve Wu's danger, it is also to relieve Qi's calamity!"

Hearing Ji Li's words, the entire hall of Qi State was completely silent. Qi State knew very well that Huai State's strength, if Wu State was really defeated, and Huai State would attack Qi from the north, Qi State would not be able to stop it.

After understanding this truth, Marquis Qi immediately said: "The Huai country is powerful, if Qi and Wu go to battle, can they be sure of victory?"

"Don't worry, Marquis Qi. When I came to Qi, your majesty also sent envoys to visit Lu and Chu. Presumably Lu and Chu will also send troops to help."

"With the help of Chu and Lu, why should we be afraid of Huai?"

The Huai State attacked Wu, but Wu could not stop it, so he sent envoys to ask for help, and Ji Li envoys Qi.Qi Hou said: "Qi and Huai have stopped fighting for dozens of years, and there is no benefit and no war!"Li said: Huai attacked Qi, Wu was behind, Rumang was on his back, now Huai is attacking Wu, Wu is defeated, Huai sends his troops to the north, and there will be no worries in the future. What will Qi do?Qi Hou sent troops. —— "Historical Records Huai Family"
