A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 58
Huai and Qi will form an alliance in Langya, and at this time, not only Huai and Qi are participating in the alliance. Although Lu and Qi have fallen out, they also come to participate in this alliance. Tan Guo took pictures of Huai Guo's prestige, and also came to join the alliance.

Tan and Ju were worried about Huai's attack and wanted to make an alliance with Huai.Wang Sheng didn't refuse. Anyway, according to Huai's strategy, he didn't plan to attack north until Wu was resolved.Moreover, as a descendant of the Yin and Shang dynasties, Huai's northward movement will arouse the vigilance of the states of Bang and Zhou.

At that time, it is very likely that we will have to face the coalition forces of the Central Plains countries. Although the Huai Kingdom is strong, it is impossible to go to war with the Central Plains countries at the same time.

In Langya, the Marquis of Tan built a high platform outside the city, and the Five National Alliance was here.

First, Shaolao sacrificed to the sky, then sacrificed to the gods of mountains, rivers and rivers, and finally made an alliance with blood.The five countries signed a covenant together. This time, the covenant is mainly between Huai and Qi, so it is also called the Huai-Qi Covenant or the Langya Covenant.

After the alliance ended, Wang Sheng led the army back to the Huai country. Although the war was over, the subsequent rewards and the issue of the Chu country needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

The army of Chu State suffered a disastrous defeat and captured [-] strong soldiers. For any vassal state, it is a force that cannot be ignored. Although Chu State has millions of people, it suddenly lost [-] strong soldiers. Even if the background of Chu State is not ten years old, it cannot be recovered.

Huaian.The army came back victorious. Although this battle has been fought for thousands of miles and the enemy is invincible, they have gained very little, and because most of this war broke out in the territory of Huai country, it also had a great impact on the production of Huai country.

In the royal palace, Wang Sheng just rewarded all the soldiers who made great achievements in this battle.In a big battle, the Huai Army used many rewards for rewards.

More importantly, this time the Huai army did not gain an inch of land.

"Masters, this attack on Wu was due to my lack of consideration. Qi, Lu and Chu sent troops to the point of defeat, and it was my fault!" In the main hall, Wang Sheng was the first to speak. But the strategic intention was not achieved at all, and it was said to be undefeated and defeated.

"The ministers are terrified. This battle is not the fault of the emperor. It is the fault of the subordinates!"

"Your Majesty accepts advice humbly, is wise and courageous, fearless in the face of danger, leads an army to defeat Wu Chu, retreats from Qilu, and the British Lord, the three kingdoms attack Huai, it is not the fault of the Majesty, but the crime of the ministers!"

Hearing that Wang Sheng had come to take responsibility for the failure of this military dispatch, the ministers panicked and quickly tried to persuade them.This expedition was originally the intention of Huai State, and it was also prepared by Huai State for decades.It's just that no one thought that the Qi, Lu, and Chu Three Congresses would intervene.

"Okay, this battle is promoted by a single person, and the blame lies with the alone, and you are innocent!" Wang Sheng waved his hand and stopped pursuing these things.

Next, we will start to deal with the issue of the [-] captives of the Chu army. In wars between various countries, the captives are usually not killed.

Forty thousand prisoners of war from the Chu army, Wang Sheng was going to let the Chu army use slaves, food and grass to redeem them.This time when Wu was conquered, Huai suffered a lot, and it happened to use the ransom of Chu to recover its blood.

Chu State finally sent an envoy to redeem [-] prisoners of war.Even a big country like Chu cannot bear the consequences of the death of all [-] soldiers.

After a heated debate, the Chu State was finally willing to use [-] adult young slaves, [-] stones of grain and grass, and some bronze to redeem these prisoners of war. Of course, the hatred between the Chu State and the Huai State also ended.

After the alliance between the Three Kingdoms to attack Huai and Huai-Qi this time, Wang Sheng did not plan to attack Wu again in a short time.Although there is a covenant in hand, who knows whether Qi will go back on his word, so he will not take action without full confidence.

Wang Sheng doesn't trust Qi, so he can only let Qi fall into civil strife, or go to war with other countries to make him feel at ease.

Since Zijue, Huai country has used merchants to collect intelligence from surrounding countries.Until now, this information network has been very large.

As Qi State is a big country in the east, Huai State's intelligence network naturally needs to focus on it.Huai State's intelligence network is mostly served by the children of the public clan and controlled by the monarch.This intelligence network and the Habayashi Army are important forces directly controlled by the royal family.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Qi respectfully presented a scroll of letters with both hands.

"The slips here record the old affairs of Duke Wen."

Wang Sheng nodded and took the letter: "Is there any record of Duke Wen's annexation of Han Kingdom?"

"Your Majesty, there are records. Without Your Majesty's order, no one has the right to read these slips." Zhao Qi said solemnly.

Wang Sheng opened the slip of paper and flipped through it.He quickly found what he wanted. This is the internal record of Huaiguo's intelligence network, which records in detail what the secret agents of Huaiguo did back then.

Including notifying Ji State of Qi State's movements, including going to Qi State to lure Qi's prince to betray, and finally sending Qi Aigong to his death, and being cooked and killed by Zhou Tianzi.

After seeing these records, Wang Sheng had an intuitive understanding of the intelligence network controlled by the office.And what Wen Gong did at the beginning also made him think of a way to cholera Qi.

"Zhao Qi, go and get all the information about the sons of the Duke of Qi within three generations." Wang Sheng ordered directly after reading the information.

"Here!" Zhao Qi immediately bowed his hands and retreated. About a quarter of an hour later, the intelligence network sent over seven letters.

While Wang Sheng was flipping through the slips, he had someone tell him about the relationship between the Duke of Qi.

The state of Qi was relatively stable in the last generation, but it was in chaos before the last generation. The cause was that Duke Ai of Qi was cooked and killed, and his brother came to the throne as Marquis Qi.

Later, for fear of being plotted against by Ji Guo, Duke Hu of Qi moved his capital to Bogu, but the people of Qi objected to moving the capital.So another younger brother of Duke Ai of Qi thought this was a good opportunity, so he led his private soldiers to take the opportunity to kill Duke Hu of Qi, made himself king, and drove away all the princes of Duke Hu of Qi. This is Duke Xiang of Qi.

After the death of Duke Xian, his son came to the throne and was called Duke Wu of Qi. At this time, there was no trouble in the Duke of Qi, but after the death of Duke Wu and his son came to the throne, things changed.But this one also got a posthumous title of 'Li'.

Because of the tyranny of Duke Li of Qi, the Qi people hated him, so they contacted the son of Duke Hu and killed Duke Li. Unfortunately, the son of Duke Hu also died in battle, and the son of Duke Li succeeded in the end.After arriving here, Qi State finally settled down.

Wang Sheng flipped through these office documents, and soon found a breakthrough.The former Duke of Qi doted on his nephew, Gongsun Wuzhi, and enjoyed the same salary, clothing, and living conditions as his son Zhu'er, so there were many fights between the two sides.

And after the sons and sons succeeded to the position of Marquis of Qi, they naturally hated Gongsun Wuzhi very much, and directly took back all his treatment. With such a huge gap, Gongsun Wuzhi hated the current Marquis very much. Good news.
