There are currently two "kings" in the east of the earth, and sometimes there are three "kings".

The king recognized by the Chinese cultural circle is naturally the king of the Zhou royal family.

The reigning king of the current Zhou royal family is King Jian, and Ji's name is Yi.

The monarch of Chu was also a king, but it was not recognized by the vast majority of countries in the Chinese cultural circle.

Some of the countries that honor the king of Chu are generally too close to Chu, or they are puppet states of Chu.

These countries are actually vassal states under the Zhou royal family, but compared with loyalty, what they need more is survival, and they can only recognize the title of the king of Chu.

Another country that claims to be king is the state of Wu.

Located in the southeast of the mainland, the state of Wu will immediately claim the title of king if they win the battle against the state of Chu, and once they are beaten by the state of Chu, they will remove the title of king.

The Chinese cultural circle actually knows the wonders of Wu Guo, but it just needs Wu Guo to always find Chu Guo's unhappiness, and has been letting go and supporting it.

The Jin State actually had a set of plans for the Wu State, wanting to make the Wu State fully Jin Guo.

To put it simply, the Jin State hopes to transform the Wu State into a country that is completely "Jinized" from culture to system, but it has not been going smoothly.

It's not that the people of Wu know what cultural invasion is, it's that they are loose by nature and lack the spirit of contract (they don't keep their promises), and then they don't want to admit that the Jin State is stronger than the Wu State.

The "lower army" and the "middle army" of the Jin state entered the territory of the Zheng state, and after they stopped at "Yong" for eight days, they continued to develop southward.

Lu Wu, who became the "military captain" of Zhigang, was exposed to more and more information as his position changed.

First of all, this time the alliance is not the product of a whim.

The Jin State and the Chu State have repeatedly been at war, and they have to deal with the challenges of the Qin State, and the Qi State has also jumped out from time to time to be naughty.

After fighting with the Chu State for too long, the Jin State was already exhausted, and the benefit was to become the "Central Plains Alliance Leader".

Being the "leader of the alliance" in these years is not only a benefit of fame, but also a qualification for the nations to "listen".

The so-called "listening" is not complicated, it is to call the envoys of various countries and tell them what year, which country should pay how much protection money to the Jin State, and which country should send how many soldiers and auxiliaries in which war.

In order to consolidate the identity of the "alliance leader", several generations of Jin monarchs have been happy to repeatedly summon the alliances of the states, which makes the various vassal states actually very upset but dare not refuse.

The State of Qin had actually launched a challenge to the State of Jin, and in just a few years, the State of Jin and Qin had fought several times, and had been deceived twice by the State of Qin.

The Jin State was not afraid of the challenge on the surface, and it was just a matter of gathering a large army to fight it.

What they hate the most is that they clearly promise to surrender, but they repeatedly make trouble and stab them in private.

Qi Guo is one of the troublemakers that Jin State hates but is not good at teaching.

In addition to the above factors, Lu Wu also spied a little.

The internal contradictions of the Jin State have reached a point where it is difficult to conceal them, and if they are not dealt with in a timely manner, the country will either weaken under the internal attack on each other, or be pushed by the outside to lead to the destruction of the country.

As for splitting or something?

The nobles of the Jin Kingdom did not dare to think about it.

The monarch never thought about it.

It's not that they are naïve, the main thing is that there have been no examples of independence after the division of vassal states.

At present, all the vassal states in the Chinese cultural circle are all countries after the division of the Zhou Dynasty without exception.

No matter how ridiculous these "feudal monarchs" are, at most the monarch is killed, and the next person to sit on the throne of the monarch is the descendant of the monarch of the country.

Lü Wu's understanding is that the current mainstream ideas and social rules are in an era when princes and princes will have a kind of each.

Therefore, if you kill the monarch and become the monarch yourself, there will only be one result.

The surrounding vassal states united, and a large group of dissatisfied nobles formed a coalition to crush the bold guy to ashes.

It is absolutely impermissible to allow the aristocracy to be so strong that the monarch will be used as a puppet, and to replace it with it!

Lü Wu thought of the Tian clan of the Qi State, and after several generations of operations, they successfully bribed the Qi State and bribed the Zhou royal family.

(In 386 BC, King An of Zhou officially ordained Tian He as the Marquis of Qi, and since then the Tian clan has formally obtained the legal status of the Marquis of Qi.) ）

Tian Dai Qi taught all the Spring and Autumn people a lesson.

That's when they found out: it! Things can still be done like this??

Tian did such an earth-shattering thing, which fundamentally changed the thinking of the Chinese people.

And the Zhou royal family also completely lost their temperance because of the bribes they received from the Tian family, and dug a cemetery for themselves.

Lu Wu didn't remember when the Tian Dynasty's Qi occurred.

He didn't even know when the Jin Kingdom was divided. (In 376 BC, Marquis Wu of Wei, Marquis of Han Ai, and Marquis Jing of Zhao divided the office of the Jin State.) ）

"It turns out that the internal contradictions of the Jin State are so acute that they are serious enough to modify the national policy of the Jin State to dominate." Lu Wu was riding on the chariot, his eyes seemed to be looking at something, but in fact his pupils were not in focus, and he thought: "The destruction of the Zhao clan is just an outbreak of contradictions, and it also disrupts the order of the Jin Kingdom. ”

Luan Shu, the current marshal of the Jin State, the ruling and general of the Chinese army, he fully felt the crisis.

As the leader, Luan Shu is actually unwilling to give up the struggle for hegemony, but he can see very clearly that the Jin Kingdom has reached the moment when it is not possible to solve the internal problems.

Under this premise, Luan Shu turned a blind eye to Zhi's hooking up with Chu State, and even encouraged him through his own hardcore Xun Geng.

In addition, Luan Shu also has a helper, that is, Shixie, who has the title of "Peace Ambassador", and he goes to fight with Hua Yuan, the doctor of the Song Kingdom.

The rest of the secretaries are not blind, they more or less know what the rest of the secretaries are doing and what they are planning, and they see the same as if they don't see it.

Shi Xie reconnected with Ling Yi (the ruling power) of Chu through Hua Yuan, and pulled the princes of Chu and Xu Yan in.

They even discussed where the meeting was and what they should talk about, and all they had to do was hold the ceremony and swear an oath for Heavenly oversight.

The march began in the evening, and the whole army stopped and camped.

Because Lu Wu was no longer a "brigade commander" and served as the "captain" of Zhifu, the camp was close to Zhi's army.

He needs to spend more time in Zhigang's military tent, waiting for dispatches while helping Zhigang sort out paperwork or help run errands.

"Wu, tell me to go down." Zhigang handed out an arrow and continued: "Tomorrow, our army will march to 'Suishui', so be sure to prepare dry food and water. ”

Lu Wu put down the matter at hand, saluted again with the arrow in his hand, and responded: "No!" ”

They are now in the east of Zheng State, and about a hundred miles further east is the "Suishui", after which they enter the territory of the Song State.

Prepare enough dry food and drinking water, which means that the next step will be to divide with the logistics troops, and the combat units will enter a state of rapid march.

This time, they went south, and they were actually in a hurry.

After leaving from "Jiaogang", it took a month to enter the territory of Zhengguo, and finally took a breath in "Yong", and after eight days, he hurried all the way to the south, until he arrived at a plain called "Zhitian" and rested for another three days.

After that, they began to march eastward, walking for five days to reach "Yongqiu".

Along the way, Lu Wu was more focused on drawing maps.

He didn't know many events in the Spring and Autumn Period, but after knowing that the "Zhao Orphan", the confrontation between the Jin State and the Chu State was basically in the Zheng State.

They all know what will happen, more things are not easy to do, and Lu Wu is not allowed to take advantage of this time to go south to find out the shape?

If the situation allowed, he would even like to know the living habits of the Zheng people, as well as the distribution of Zheng Guo's villages and cities, and it would be better to know which military points Zheng Guo valued.

It's just a pity that they are in too much of a hurry, and it is difficult for Lu Wu to know more.

"If you see Yang Yuji when you go south this time, Wu Ke will challenge?" Han Qi had excitement on his face, and without waiting for Lu Wu to respond, he continued to say: "Yang Youji is a fierce general in the world, if he can win in battle, he will definitely increase the prestige of my Jin Kingdom!" ”

Lu Wu almost slapped Han Qi away.

Challenging Yoyuki?

China's No. 1 archer, who doesn't want to make a move?

Lu Wu did think about it, but he just thought about it.

He is very self-aware, and the fierce general brother relies on his strength and the advantage of weapons and armor to fight out.

Yang Yu Ji Ke is a peerless archer who can shoot through seven layers of armor, can Lu Wu still wear eight layers of armor to fight Yang Yu Ji?

This kind of thing needs a specific time and place to deal with Yang Yuji, otherwise anyone will be delivering food.

Han Qi saw that Lu Wu's eyes were sharp and he understood the wrong direction, so he suggested: "Why don't you challenge the Pan Party first, and then challenge Yang Youji if you win?" ”

Lu Wu asked, "Who is the Pan Party?" ”

Han Qi knew that Lu Wu had little knowledge, and explained: "The Pan Party survived the challenge of Yang Youji, ranking second in the world. ”

Nima!

If you don't get shot, you can get the title of "second in the world"?

It can also be seen from this incident that Yoyuki is really terrifying!

Can it not be scary?

Compared with it, just by being able to survive, he became famous among the nations, and he also got the title of "second in the world", which only means that the people who challenged Yoyuki are dead.

Lu Wu swore that he didn't challenge because he was weak-hearted, he just wanted to keep a low profile.

The Jin army marched eastward the next day, crossing the "Suishui" and entering the territory of the Song Kingdom.

Bao, the monarch of the Song State, led his ministers to greet the monarch of the Jin State.

Because Lu Wu was Zhifu's "military captain", he was fortunate to witness the scene of Song Jun's reception.

It is not an exaggeration to say that tens of millions of people came to greet him.

Song Jun put on his own big show.

Dispatch the Great Silk, which has been passed down from ancient times, to greet him, and the etiquette is impeccable.

What caused a sensation was that Song Jun also brought his own team of musicians at the level of the "symphony orchestra".

Song Jun asked the band to play music, but Luan Shu refused.

Lu Wu just saw it from a distance, and couldn't hear what Luan Shu said to Song Jun, and then saw that Song Jun was embarrassed to let the band retreat.

"It's a pity ......" Zhi Gang Zaiqing's ranking is not high, so he can't say anything more on this occasion, and he said regretfully: "'Mulberry' is a great joy, if you can hear it, you will die without regrets." ”

Lu Wu rolled his eyes in his heart.

Is it so exaggerated, there is no regret even dying when listening to a concert.

What he didn't know was that the Song Kingdom was the country of Yin Shang, and only the Song Kingdom had preserved the "national music" of the Yin Shang, and if he wanted to listen to the large-scale music and dance party from the Yin Shang, only the Song State could perform it.

Ji Shouman, the monarch, and several secretaries, including the secretary's personal tools (retainers, lieutenants, lieutenants) stayed.

The rest of the great nobles and troops went east on their own.

Lu Wu was a spectator and decided to be a tool man, but suddenly heard someone shouting his name.

It was Ji Shouman who was shouting loudly, talking about what is Yang Youji, but there is a fierce general who can pull out the mountain in the Jin Kingdom.

At that time, Lu Wu received great attention......
