Wei Wuhou

Chapter 799

Time flies, winter goes and autumn comes, four years passed in a blink of an eye, and time came to Weihou ten years.

This is the tenth year of Wei Wuji's succession to the throne, and also the fourth year after the return of the Song Dynasty.

After Wei State defeated Qin State, annexed Tang, Zheng and Song and other countries, and after Chu State defeated Wu State and ruled the south, there were few major wars in the past four years.

But the whole world was not peaceful. After the new king of Chu State succeeded to the throne, he still pursued Wu State fiercely, and eroded a small prince in the south. The war did not stop for a day.

In the north, the famous Wei State was not idle either. The Lingbei camp attacked the Hu people and plundered many excellent war horses for the Wei State.

The soldiers of the Wei army who occupied Qin land also harassed the interior of Qin at any time, and at the same time guarded against Qin's counterattack.

In the east, frictions between Wei State and Qi State also occurred from time to time, making Lu State caught in it worse than death.

Also in the past four years, due to the expansion of territory and recuperation, the national strength of the Wei State not only recovered, but also allowed Wei Wuji to re-organize an army of 50, and the standing force of the Wei State was close to [-].

You must know that the powerful Chu State at this time is only more than [-], and Wei State's position as the chief power is unshakable.

As an enemy with such a powerful neighbor, Qi State naturally lives cautiously, always guarding against Wei State's sudden attack.

At this time, the Qi State has no time to fight internally. At this time, the monarchs and ministers are dedicated to resisting foreign humiliation.

In addition to guarding against Wei State, Qi State had to be optimistic about Lu State. He was also afraid that Lu State would join Lu State like Song State, and Qi State would lose a hand in that way.

In fact, Qi State didn't worry too much, because at this time, the old monarch of Lu State had already started to wander, so Tian Yuwen was not at ease.

…………

Qufu, the capital of the State of Lu, late at night.

The soldiers patrolling the city cruised the streets as usual, looking around under the light of the torches.

Now Wei and Qi are confronting each other continuously, and half of the state of Lu has been lost to Wei. A series of incidents have made Qufu's law and order worse in recent years, and the soldiers patrolling the city have a much heavier task.

If they encountered ordinary thieves, these soldiers patrolling the city would not be afraid, but what they were afraid of was encountering soldiers of the Qi army entering the city.

Since the Qi army sent troops to station outside Linzi City two years ago, soldiers have often entered the city to harass the people. It is troublesome for soldiers patrolling the city to encounter such things.

However, for the soldiers responsible for patrolling the northern city of Qufu, their lives were relatively comfortable.

Beicheng is the forbidden city of Qufu, where the officials and nobles live. It is not only difficult to encounter thieves here, but also there will be no soldiers from Qi to harass.

But when the city patrol soldiers were patrolling normally, they didn't know that a tragic fight was taking place not far away in Lu Palace.

Lu Boji's relationship with Qi State was better than that of Qi State. Whether it was voluntary or not, he was on the side of Qi State anyway, so he also led Lu State to Qi State.

Ji Mi has a younger brother named Ji Yi, who holds the position of Uncle Lu, but he is very concerned about the position of Lu Bo, thinking that the throne should be his own.

However, due to the stability of the country, Ji Yi did not dare to reveal his dissenting intentions, so he could only work conscientiously in the position of Zongbo, and instead gained a virtuous name.

Originally, Ji Yi also thought that this life should pass like this, but who knows that the situation has been greatly turbulent in these years, and even the environment of Lu State has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Because of the confrontation between Qi and Wei, the state of Lu was caught between two sides, and the people complained... So Ji Yi felt that his chance had come.

Now that the state of Wei is powerful, Ji Mi bets on the state of Qi, which allows Ji Yi to find his own direction of action in no time.

It is Ji Yi's idea to unite the "people of insight" in the unit, drive the innocent monarch Ji Mi from power, and lead the State of Lu to surrender to the State of Wei.

Not to mention, there are quite a few people in Qufu City who are knowledgeable about current affairs, and many people feel that there is no future for them to follow Qi, so Ji Yi has attracted a large number of people.

So they formulated a coup plan. The first step they imagined was to take down the Lu Palace, control the monarch, and then control Qufu.

As long as Qufu is under control, you can stand firm against the Qi army. When the time comes, write a letter to ask Wei for help, and if you stick to it for two days, you can expel the Qi army.

Therefore, when Lu Bo Ji Mi was still immersed in sleep, the entire Lu Palace was shrouded in blood and rain.

Most of the guards of the Lu Palace are served by the descendants of the noble family, and Ji Yi has the support of a large number of noble families, which makes it easy for him to control the outer palace gates.

But Ji Mi's cronies are everywhere in the inner palace, which did cause Ji Yi a lot of trouble, but it was just trouble.

To put it simply, the general situation in Qufu City is on Jiyi's side, and it is a matter of course to occupy Miyagi.

When Ji Mi was woken up by the sound of killing, he saw his younger brother leading a group of people, kicking away from the palace and walking towards him.

Ji Mi yelled that it was not good, but there was nowhere to run at this time, so he could only point at Ji Yi and curse: "Bold Ji Yi, are you going to rebel?"

Ji Yi, who was being scolded, did not stop. When he walked up to Ji Mi, he stood still, pushed his elder brother's hand pointing at him away with his sword, and said, "Second brother, I am not rebelling, but for the sake of Lu. country!"

Ji Mi was still terrified at this moment, when Ji Yi pointed his sword at him just now, his heart jumped in his throat.

But at this moment, he was also full of anger, and only heard Ji Mi scold: "Presumptuous, why do I treat you so poorly, you actually did such a rebellious thing!"

Ji Yi couldn't help sneering, and then said: "Treat me poorly? This throne should be mine. Back then, my father preferred me, but let you steal the throne!"

In fact, Ji Mi also knew that his younger brother's rebellion was for the throne, but when he really heard the answer, he still felt very sad.

Now that the state of Lu is in such a difficult situation, it is so unwise for Ji Yi to still be fighting among himself!
So Ji Mi said, "Now that the country is in turmoil, you still have the heart to talk about it? Why don't you contribute to the community if you have the energy?"

Ji Yi said: "You are also responsible for the ups and downs. Qi State is weak and you favor him, but you have enmity with Wei State. It is you who made Lu State difficult!"

Ji Mi suddenly became impatient, uniting Qi against Wei is a rule passed down from generation to generation, not to mention that Wei State still occupies a lot of Lu State's territory, the confrontation between the two countries is doomed.

Only by uniting with the Qi State can the Lu State maintain its existence. If it falls to the Wei State, it will only follow in the footsteps of the Song State. This is what Ji Mi does not want to see.

But at this time, Ji Mi will not argue with Ji Yi, Ji Yi has already embarked on the road of rebellion, and there is no way to turn back.

When Ji Mi didn't speak, Ji Yi couldn't help but sneered and said, "Why, there's nothing else to say?"

Not in the mood to answer this question, Ji Mi asked at this moment: "Even if you are allowed to sit in this position, how can you get the State of Lu out of the current situation?"

At this time, the battle was over, and everything that should be arranged was also arranged, so Ji Yi had time to talk to Ji Mi more.

Then I heard Ji Yi say: "When I am in power, I will make peace with the State of Wei, so that we can resolve the powerful enemies of the State of Wei, and at the same time use the power of the State of Wei to expel the soldiers of the State of Qi!"

Ji Mi couldn't help asking: "Then what's next? After driving away Qi, will Wei also destroy our Lu?"

Ji Yi was not in a hurry, but said slowly: "At that time, we can also learn from Song State and directly attach to Wei State. Why should we be afraid of Wei State's annexation!"

Unexpectedly, just as Ji Yi said this, he saw a black shadow flying towards him, and then hit the bridge of his nose hard.

Under the pain, Ji Yi held his nose and backed away one after another, and the teacup that hit him on the bridge of his nose also fell to the ground and shattered.

When the blood flowed from his nose, Ji Yi's anger was instantly ignited, and he drew out his sword to chop off at his brother.

But several guards next to him stopped him, and one of them advised him: "Your Excellency, calm down, all the sages in the court have said that you must not hurt your life, you should calm down!"

Now Ji Yi really calmed down. The family supported him in the coup, but the precondition was that the life of the monarch should not be harmed. Ji Yi had to keep his promise at this time.

But Ji Yi was very clear about the purpose of the aristocratic family's request. They were hedging their bets. They wanted to keep the monarch in order to keep things calm, so that they would not completely hate Qi.

If Ji Yi's coup finally fails, the family can still welcome Ji Mi again.

Seeing this situation, Lu Bo Ji Mi couldn't help laughing, and only heard him say: "Ji Yi, even if you control Miyagi, but there are [-] Qi troops stationed outside the city, you are still doomed to fail!"

This is also true. The [-] Qi troops outside the city are here to help Ji Mi stabilize the situation. If something happens in Qufu City, they will immediately go out to quell the chaos.

Although he was very unhappy with the family from the bottom of his heart, Ji Yi did not show timidity at this time. He only heard him say: "Now I have controlled Qufu. With [-] soldiers in the city, I can wait for reinforcements from the Wei army in two days. When the time comes, Qufu will be surrounded." Self-solve!"

Just before he took action, Ji Yi had already sent someone to contact Wei Jun, so he was quite confident.

But Ji Mi didn't have confidence in Ji Yi, and he only heard him say, "Can you survive the Qi State's offensive for two days with just the soldiers from Qufu?"

The soldiers in Qufu have certain combat effectiveness, but the morale of the army must be unstable after the coup. Coupled with the vacillating soldiers behind Ji Yi, Ji Mi believes that Ji Yi's plan is wishful thinking.

But still the same sentence, since Ji Yi had launched a coup, there was no way out.

Therefore, at this time, he also said viciously: "After two days, I will take your life again!"

Two days later, if Ji Yi ushered in the Wei army, then the Qufu family would have no choice, and it would naturally be Ji Mi's time.

But the opposite is also true, so Ji Mi sneered and said, "Maybe your head will fall to the ground!"
