Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: There is another chapter around 1:00

"Zhao Wuxi invited Wei Qing to the meeting, why do the widows also go together?"

Outside the East Gate of Xinjiang, the Marquis of Jin was sitting in a splendid cart. His "Marquis" was driven by six horses, which was comparable to the ceremonial guard of the emperor, and the flag of crossing the dragon fluttered. The face is not very good-looking. 【...】

Speaking of today, the Marquis of Jin is also pitiful. He succeeded to the throne when he was weak. Although he was the monarch, he was treated as a teenager by Liu Qing. He has been raised in the deep palace. He has never experienced wind and rain. . At the age of 30, he encountered a great civil war that has not been seen in a century, and after a **** slaughter in Xinjiang City, before he could catch his breath, and then faced the menacing Zhao Wuxi, he was so worried. The boy is white.

Wei Hao said with certainty: "Now that Zhao Wuchun has a great power, the lord has also recognized his banner of the Qing monarch, so he came with the momentum of a great victory, and the suburban meeting also conforms to the etiquette. the edge of."

"Having said that, but if he has malicious intentions and wants to harm me, or if he wants to learn to treat Lu Jun, he will hold me hostage and bring me back to the east of Taihang to be kept in the palace and command a doctor, what should we do? Okay?" Thinking of Duke Ding's miserable situation, Jin Houwu couldn't help but shudder, knowing that the Wei family used to talk about Zhao's evil things in his ears, including his disobedience to the government of Lu. .

Wei Hao assured: "Zhao Wuxi would never dare to do this! If he had this intention, he would have entered Xinjiang long ago and besieged the city and clamored for it, and only the presence of the monarch can make him restrain his indecision and unreasonable thoughts. Quietly withdraw the troops and leave... Besides, Zhao Wuxi is not the only one over there. The Wei family will send a large army to **** them. Yes, and will never leave any stains on the history books."

Wei Lu and Jin Houwu's relationship is not as close as Zhi's, they are pinching their noses only because they are grasshoppers on the same rope. The Wei family needed a name that complied with the etiquette and law to give him more bargaining chips; for the monarch, the old backer Zhishi fell, and he needed a new support to avoid being humiliated by the chaotic ministers and thieves from the east.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxi held a banquet in Jiujiang, and Wei Hao had to attend the meeting, but he was afraid of an accident, so he simply organized a "suburban welcome" to move the Marquis of Jin out. Although the imperial court of the Jin state has been swept away, the Marquis of Jin still has a trace of weight in the minds of Jin people. In that case, the periphery of the Zhao clan, which has just been calmed down, will be entangled with new anti-Zhao alliances, and the opposition of the people will also be wave after wave. .

Although Jin Houwu was still grumbling and complaining, saying that the weather was freezing cold and he had to suffer like this, this suburb has gone too far! But he still got into the car obediently and followed the Wei family's army towards the east.

From the new river to the old one, if you walk slowly, you won't be able to get there in one day. On the first night, they rested at the camp beside the Hui River. The sound of the Hui River is very special. When it is not flowing, it will make a sound, which is reflected in Wei Lu's ears. Extra loud.

Wei Lu once again comforted the Marquis of Jin who had retreated and wanted to return to Xinjiang, and then he left the tent and summoned his son Wei Ju to discuss the countermeasures for tomorrow's negotiation.

...

It turned out that Wei Ju was worried when he saw that Zhao Wuxi was parked in Jiujiang. He also brought Wei Jun to be stationed in the east to prevent accidents. Hearing that Wei Hao came with the monarch, he was surprised at first and came over to meet his father overnight.

"Why did my father bring the king with him?"

"When the monarch is here, there will be someone to arbitrate when the three ministers meet, and the monarch will decide the outcome of the discussion. The two outsiders have nothing to say. I don't have to be unilaterally coerced by the Zhao family to make concessions. We support each other with the monarch and win the victory. Public opinion and etiquette agree, this is the only advantage of the Wei clan now... How did the Zhao clan perform in Jiujiang?"

Wei Ju said worriedly: "After Zhao's army entered Jiujiang, he had nothing to take, and the women had no luck. They only needed ten days of food. It can be seen that Zhao Wuqian's ambition is not small, and his intention is to win the hearts of the people and the plentiful land in the east of the river, rather than After looting, they will return to the east of Taihang for independent administration."

Long before Wei's betrayal, the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han had had frequent correspondence and written agreements: the Fan's Hedong territory acquired by Wei's still belonged to Wei, and the Han's took back all the former territories, and Zhao's Geng, Xia Gong, The building will also be returned to the Zhao family, and will enjoy legal control over Dongyang, Handan, and Hanoi. After the extermination and division of their territory, the water from the three wells will not violate the river water.

However, there was no specific plan for how to divide it up. Originally, Wei Hao hoped to keep the valley road to the north, and to the east, above the party as the boundary, to monopolize Hedong. Unexpectedly, the progress of Zhao's east and north troops and horses was beyond his expectations. Wei Jun did not dare to stop it, and he could not stop it. He could only sit and watch them cross this line and get close to Jiangdu.

Wei Lu asked again, "What is Zhao Wuxi's idea for this time when he asked me to talk, and how he plans to divide the territory of Zhishi, Fan, and Bank of China, do you know?"

"I don't know. Zhao Wuxi didn't even say a few words to anyone other than his core retainers, so he couldn't guess at all, but if I think about it, he probably wants to slap Hedong."

It’s easy to ask God to send God, but Wei Hao knows that if he doesn’t bleed a little, he probably won’t be able to get Zhao Wuxi to evacuate from Hedong.

He sneered: "Well, since he is greedy and won't give up after winning more than half of the Jin state, then we will push him again. If Zhao Wuxie asks Wei for land for no reason, the monarch and Han will be afraid; He went a step further and coveted the position of power. Such a person who was so insatiable became the ruler of Jin, and all the princes in the world would be afraid, and Qin, Chu, and Zheng would all be enemies. This is what the "Book of Zhou" said, 'General If you want to defeat it, you must help it; if you want to take it, you must help it! This is also our response, as long as his requirements are not too much for new, old, and confidants. If there are one or two cities, we might as well go with it. In fact, this suburban welcome is not for the sake of arrogant Zhao Wuxi, arrogant and underestimating the enemy, Zhao's prosperity will not last long!"

After discussing the Wei's countermeasures, the next day, the "suburban welcome" team composed of the first army of Wei soldiers and a thousand palace guards continued to go upstream along the Huishui River. When approaching Jiujiang, Zhao's light cavalry scouts began to appear frequently in the field of vision, and the etiquette officer sent by Zhao also visited the Marquis of Jin, saying that Zhao Qing heard that the monarch was coming in person, and was flattered. He had already left the camp, so he would greet him at the front!

Jin Houwu's face looked a little better now. He was sitting upright, posing as a prince, but his heart was still empty. He hadn't seen him for many years. I'm afraid it's difficult for Zhao Wuxi to be as low as he was back then. …

...

Jiujian had also heard the news that the Marquis of Jin was coming to the "suburban welcome". Early on the eleventh day of October, Zhao Wuxi took the generals and retainers under the tent to the west for ten miles to welcome him.

The 30,000 Zhao clans marched forward, with flags fluttering, spears and halberds like forests, accompanied by the sound of drums, and they lined up for two miles. From a distance, the smoke and dust filled the air, and the military was very prosperous.

Everyone stood on the road, looking ahead, when it was noon, a motorcade was coming.

The road from Xinjiang to the old is excellent. The loess has been rammed very solidly. There are pines and cypresses planted on both sides of the road. Although a lot of them have been cut down by various forces to make equipment before, there are still many left. Go, among the uneven roadside trees, on the wide official road, thousands of guards marched forward, as if facing a big enemy, behind the guard of honor of the Marquis of Jin.

Zhao Wuxi stood in the middle of Tu Dao, seeing this scene, a past incident flashed through his mind. That was when he had not yet reached the crown, and held a grand ceremony in Pan Palace. It was the first time he saw the Marquis of Jin, and when he saw the ceremonies of the princes in the Spring and Autumn Period, he was a little surprised, but also a little disappointed.

He remembered that the Xiqi Palace at that time was burly and strong, and at least superficially did a good job.

However, Jin State has been mired in civil war for a long time in the past few years, not only the financial difficulties of the imperial court, but also the decline of the public office~www.readwn.com~ Even the Xiqi Palace has inevitably reduced its expenses. I can't afford it anymore... So those palace armors seem to be weak now, and even their steps are a little weak.

The car of the Marquis of Jin is a six-horse chariot, gorgeous and solemn, made of hardwood, covered with bronze components, and covered with a canopy. The car was loaded with solemn Yi vessels, Qi Yue representing military power, and Tong Gong representing cutting, all of which were "Hou Bo" ritual vessels that Zhou Tianzi had given to the Marquis of Jin for hundreds of years. In order to support himself, the Marquis of Jin actually All brought out.

The monarch, who had grown a lot of beards and had a pale complexion, stood in the middle of the carriage. He wore his car uniform and read his articles. He was leaning on the railing and looking straight ahead, his eyes unbiased, and he happened to meet Zhao Wuxi...

Zhao Wuxi saw fear in his eyes, fear of the power behind him...

He smiled slightly, but still lowered his head, allowing the Marquis of Jin to keep a trace of his face. But the thoughts that replaced it in my heart are even more than before. This is no longer the wishful thinking of a teenager, it seems to be a sweet forbidden fruit that can be picked just by standing on tiptoe and reaching out...
