Spring and Autumn I Am King

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​putting something like this on a horse?"

After carefully walking around the horses a few times, Zhao Wuxi discovered that there were more than 20 riding horses with unilateral straw ropes under their saddles, which looked like the stirrups of later generations, which surprised him at first glance. , as if it was another encounter with a transmigrator. @, x.

However, in front of Hou Pen's words and demeanor, he was just a slightly smarter warrior. He was over thirty years old. Apart from being bold, he didn't show anything too extraordinary.

And his answer made Zhao Wuxi feel relieved.

"The villain used to ride a pony when he was young, but these soldiers were all warriors and had never ridden before, so it was difficult to mount a horse suddenly. So the villain came up with the idea of ​​tying a rope under the saddle for easy support. Saddle on the horse..."

It turned out to be the tool for getting on the horse, not the place where the horse pedals when it gallops! Zhao Wuxi was a little relieved. However, he still admired Hou Zun's daring and creative spirit, and couldn't help but admire him a few words.

Hou Zun was acquainted. He was a small horse, and his status gap with the superior doctor Zhao Wuxi seemed to be a world of difference. After a few words of humility, he praised Zhao Wuxi as a wise man he was born to know: "This saddle should be It was changed from a simple horse-fed. With this thing, people can sit on the back of a running horse, shoot arrows, throw spears and gallop, and only Zhao’s light riding can compete with the people of Qi. Great achievements in battle!"

Zhao Wu Xie was noncommittal, and then pretended to ask Hou Zong to also tie a straw rope to his black horse's saddle, and tried to pedal a few times, which was indeed much more convenient.

It's just that Yu Xi and the other cavalry officers next to him, relying on their excellent riding skills, secretly sneered at this: "It's a joke, you need to borrow strength to get on a horse. These Lu people are not suitable for cavalry by nature.

Zhao Wuxi reprimanded them softly and said, "Hugh is arrogant. When Yu made the saddle, some Di people who are used to riding **** horses may still be like you. Despise us!"

That's right, inventions are largely created by lazy people. Because of practical needs, the more unfamiliar with horseback riding, the more they want to get some convenient harnesses to use. The emergence of stirrups in history may have a similar process. .

"This is a buildable material..."

Zhao Wuxi admired Hou Zun a little, but what made him strange was when Hou Zong spoke. Always involuntarily stare at Gong Ruo with contempt. It stands to reason that this horse who likes horses and likes to ride lightly should pay more attention to him after seeing Zhao Wuxi, the template he imitated?

Is it fear? No, that look doesn't look the same.

It was only when his eyes glanced over occasionally that Hou Cun forced a smile, with a slightly unnatural expression.

"I don't know if I'm over-hearted..."

Zhao Wuxi thought about it, but suddenly said: "Unfortunately, Houma is an important official of Pingyi, otherwise. With your enthusiasm for horses and imitating cavalry, I really want to hire you to be a cavalry officer in Xilu! "

Gong Ruomiao, who was beside him, was stunned for a moment, then laughed. It's just a joke from Zhao Wuxi.

"Little Sikou, you can ask for the rest, but Hou Zong can't do it. He is in charge of my army, and I treat him like a parent. How can I serve others?"

But Hou Zun's face was even more abnormal, and finally he just smiled dryly a few times: "Of course. However, the little people have pledged allegiance to the Shusun clan for generations, and they have to perform their duties for Laoyi, so they are not lucky to serve Xiao Sikou... …”

Immediately, his face was full of smiles, and he said to Gong Ruo contempt: "Lao Yi Zai, the villain recently found a rare sword from Wu, and invited all his colleagues in the city to have a feast and watch the sword together. I don't know Lao Yi. Can Zai appreciate his face?"

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there is no man who does not love the sword. The sword is a weapon for killing and a gentleman, especially the sword of Wu Yue.

So Gong Ruomiao readily agreed to go to Hou Zun's house for a banquet in the evening. Zhao Wuxi looked at Hou Zong with a smile, and felt more and more that something was not right.

Although Hou Cun hesitated for a moment, he still came over and invited Zhao Wuxi to go with him, but Zhao Wuxi knew that if he had changed his identity and status, he wouldn't be desperate unless Hou Cun was worried. What are you worried about?

Because in the Yanghu Rebellion, there was a bad record of leading troops stationed in the city but suddenly attacking, Zhao Wuxi's army was also suspicious of the people, and now it can only be stationed outside, and the only people who enter the city with him are only Some black-clothed guards and Mu Xia, Yu Xi and others.

And on the surrounding pastures, there are more than a hundred soldiers of the Hou prisoners. In this case, the gentleman does not build a dangerous wall. When withdraw, withdraw!

So he smiled and declined: "The old city slaughter invited me to travel all over the city in the past few days, and then I returned from Jiagu. I am really tired, so I will not accompany me, and I hope Hou Mazheng will forgive me."

Sure enough, Zhao Wuxi found that when he heard that he was not going, Hou Zong's face was a little surprised, but Gong Ruomiao didn't notice it, and just asked the vertical people to take Zhao Wuxi back to the building to rest.

Zhao Wuchen politely declined: "We are stubborn warriors, and we should live more comfortably in the tent. I haven't inspected the tent for a few days. I will go back and restrain the discipline, so that the soldiers will not harass the villages of Qiyi..."

After the group separated with such a smile, Gong Ruomiao walked into the city surrounded by Hou Zun and others. Zhao Wuxi immediately supported the saddle and mounted the horse, turned around and frowned for a moment, then returned to the camp with his cavalry and personal guards.

After lifting the curtain, his face was sinking like water, and he instructed the people around him: "Find Qi Ping immediately!"

...

"Actually, my family was also wealthy. At one time, we were richer than three Huan. When my grandfather Piao Zhaobo was in the house, Mrs. Piao's mansion in Qufu was adjacent to Mrs. Ji. He liked flying eagles and dogs, especially when he was in power. Pingzi fought cocks. But Ji Pingzi wanted to cheat after repeated defeats. He made chickens put on leather armor to fight. How could this be possible? My grandfather was not angry, so he used his own way to treat his own body. The chicken feet were fitted with copper hooks and finally defeated Ji's chicken. So Ji Pingzi was furious and wanted to attack the Phi's... After that, all the people of Lu know that the cockfighting caused a dispute between Lu Zhaogong and Ji Pingzi, and finally I Grandfather was killed by the Meng family, and Duke Zhao of Lu was forced to flee abroad..."

Ping Ping is a pale, slightly bloated middle-aged man, the remains of the Phi clan. After all, the State of Lu seldom used cruel methods of extermination. Although the Phi family declined, he stayed in Phi. Guarding the hundred acres of sacrificial fields to make a living is a typical representative of the decline from "doctor's food town" to "scholar's food field". Judging from the fat figure, life should be fine.

But when he was young, he couldn't stand such a gap. When Zhao Yang came to Lu, he heard that Zhao Qing liked to recruit talents, so he ran to take refuge. But Zhao Yang is the only one who is the best. For those who have nothing special, the treatment is bland, and his request to ask Jin to be the master to restore the status of the Phi family is just over with a smile, and he is even unwilling to bring him back to Jin. .

In the end, it was Zhao Wuxi who kept Ping Ping, hoping to use it as a staff officer who knew the inside story of Ping Yi. He didn't have any serious problems, but he just talked about the past glory of the family in front of people when he had something to do, just like Mrs. Xianglin.

He did help Zhang Mengtan a lot when he scheduled it before, but Zhao Wuxi suddenly felt that, based on the current situation, he still knew too little about the complicated situation in Pengyi!

So Zhao Wuxi interrupted Qi Ping's chatter unceremoniously, and said straight to the point: "Tell me about this person Hou Zong!"

Ping Ping has no other ability, and he is very familiar with the various human relationships and allusions of Ping Yi from ancient times to the present. He thought for a while and said: "Xiao Sikou must also know that there is no Sima in Pianyi, so Ma Zhenghou took charge of military power on his behalf, and he is the second person in the city after Gong Ruomiao. It is said that he treats Gong Ruomiaoru Father. But everyone knows that Hou Zun actually hopes that after Gong Ruomiao's death, he will be able to pass the position of governor to him."

"Hope to pass on the position of the ruler to him?"

Zhao Wuxi pondered. It stands to reason that the positions of retainers such as Yi Zai, Yi Sima, and Ma Zheng. It was appointed by the high-ranking doctor who was the lord of the territory. However, in the wonderful country of the state of Lu, the three Huan were the Marquis of Lu. And the accompany ministers are specializing in three, each big city is like the separate rule of the vassal towns in the late Tang Dynasty. Some city leaders are simply passed on from generation to generation, while others are passed on to capable cronies. Anyway, this semi-independent state must be maintained.

"So, this is an ambitious person?"

"Of course, and I heard that he has been in close contact with Gongzheng Sichi recently."

Zhao Wuxi frowned, he seemed to have heard of this name: "Gongzheng Si Chi?"

"He is an old minister of the Shusun family, and the only person in the city who has his heart towards the uncle's family master."

"Since he is loyal to Shusun Zhou, why does Lao Yi keep him?" Zhao Wuxi felt that his brain was not enough, this is unscientific.

Although Ping Ping had been away for a while, but after returning to Pingyi, he knew this place like the back of his hand. After all, Zhao Wuxi allowed him to use the information provided by the eyeliner placed in Pingyi.

Ping Ping said with a flattering smile: "The relationship between Pingyi and the Shusun clan is now disconnected and inextricably linked. Gong Ruomiao is getting old, and it is inevitable that he will be a little indecisive. In case Shusun Zhouqiu takes back this city, he still counts on his uncle and grandson. His cronies can save his life on the old friendship."

Zhao Wuqi thought for a moment before spit out two words: "Innocent."

He had heard a sentence in his previous life: "In the game of thrones, if you are not the winner, there is only one dead end, and there is no middle ground."

As the saying goes, "Yin Jian is not far away, in the post-Xia era", the demise of the He clan, the exile of Lu Zhaogong, the fall of Yang Hu, many **** lessons are in front of you, Gong Ruomiao, as a past person, really becomes more and more confused !

He doesn't care about Gong Ruomiao's life or death, but Pingyi is related to his important layout of the political game in the state of Lu, and it is related to his own power game.

Zhao Wuxi had a bad premonition in his heart, and now there are turbulent clouds in the city, and judging from Hou Zun's performance today, something will definitely happen at that feast called Sword Appreciation. He had the intention to stop him, but in line with the principle that the son of a thousand gold would not sit down in the hall, he would not enter easily.

So Zhao Wuxi asked people to bring his own handwritten letter into the city to find Gong Ruomiao, let him be careful, be careful of the banquet this evening!

After arranging for everyone in the camp to be on guard, and after waiting for the day, Zhao Wuxi paced back and forth in the camp, feeling a little anxious.

He is not good at wielding swords and soldiers in the country of Lu now, so he can only use this method of indirect win-win control. Guessing that his opponent is also taking the same number of steps as himself. Even though Shusun Zhou's hatred is relatively pig, but there are still a few talented people who have a gigantic Shusun clan with more than a hundred years of clan inheritance, and I can't underestimate them too much.

In summer and June, the sun moves in Liusu, and at dusk, Mars will be looming in the middle of the southern sky. They are important coordinates for judging the time and position...

Time passed little by little~www.readwn.com~ Zhao Wuxi hopes that his messenger can catch up, as long as he can persuade Gong Ruomiao...

At this moment, the person who sent the letter came back sweating profusely.

Before he could speak, Zhao Wuxi pulled him into the tent and asked, "How?

The person who sent it stammered: "After reading Si Kou's letter, the chief of Xianyi smiled and said something."

"What?"

"He said: Si Kou has a lot of heart, I treat Hou Zun like his own son, he will not be Zhuan Zhu, and I will not be Wu Wang Liao..." (To be continued.)
