Chapter 198: Yin Wuzi and Zhiwuzi

It is not that there are no similar examples in the Jin Kingdom, and there are even quite a few.

The current marshal, ruling and Chinese army general Luan Shu, he was promoted by Xun Ke from the lower position of the secretary, and he was directly promoted like a monkey in the sky, and became a Chinese military general and a ruling doctor.

If you calculate it in this way, Luan Shu's promotion of Zhongxing Yan to be the military assistant is actually very restrained?

However, it is not!

Luan Shu was in his fifties when he became a "Sky Monkey", and he was suppressed too hard before, and he stayed in his original position several times when he should have been promoted.

He has made many meritorious contributions in his past resume and has also made suggestions to the country.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Ke quickly promoted Luan Shu before his death, although he was strongly opposed by Zhao Kuo and Zhao Tong, he was still recognized by the rest of the "Qing".

BOC Yan is different.

In addition to having a good family background, he has no qualifications to hold important positions, has not shed blood for the country, and has not even given credit for advice.

The most important thing is that BOC Yan is too young!

Such a man in his twenties has become a military leader, and it is not surprising that ten to fifteen years later he will become a general, a ruling and a marshal of the Chinese army.

At the age of thirty, you reach the peak of your life, and you are healthy enough to work in those positions for thirty or forty years.

If the Bank of China can have some achievements in the past, everyone can still look forward to it, but no!

How would a man who is not discernible have any talent to occupy a high position for thirty or forty years?

Some nobles with public intentions seem to have seen the Jin Kingdom fall into the abyss.

The nobles who have the ambition to climb up, their hearts are all at once discharged.

In the past, if you have a good family background, you will have a bright future, yes, but you still know to see if you have talent.

Right now?

Hehe!

News of the change and implementation of the throne was transmitted throughout the country and then to the vassal states.

Most of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom were confused for a while, and in reaction they began to befriend the Zhongxing clan.

That's a thick thigh that has been hugged for thirty or forty years, isn't it stupid not to hurry up?

The reaction of the various vassal states was divided into polarization.

Some believe that the rise of Zhongxingyan, as long as Zhongxingyan is not too bad, can at least give the Jin country a stable stability for thirty or forty years.

Others saw Luanshu's operation and judged that the contradictions between the "secretaries" of the Jin State would intensify.

No matter which one it is, the vassal states that are friendly to the Jin Kingdom are worried, but they can't do anything.

The vassal states that were dissatisfied with the Jin State had already begun to prepare, waiting for the Jin State to have civil strife, and they would be able to let go of what they wanted to do but did not dare to do before.

In an overall atmosphere that could not be said to be panicked or confused, Lu Wu came to the Zhifu Mansion to visit.

Zhi's retainers greeted him and brought LΓΌ Wu to Zhifu.

The location is by a pond.

There are no buildings around the pond, except for a patch of green grass and a few trees that don't look very good.

When Lu Wu came over, he saw Zhi Gang fishing on the one hand, and he had already drunk it himself.

Drinking in broad daylight is hard to see in aristocrats who have real jobs.

They need to keep a clear head and deal with unexpected events that can happen at any time.

Ji Gang has been drinking since the day, and you can imagine that his heart is not good.

"Coming?" He pointed to the sitting pu next to him, continued to look at the buoy with his eyes, and said very lazily, "Accompany me to fish." ”

Lu Wu heard that Zhigang's tone of speech had more auxiliary words that he would not normally have, walked over and sat down without saying a word, then picked up the fishing rod next to him, skillfully put bait on the hook first, and shook it vigorously, and the hook with the line fell into the small pond, and the water surface was filled with a circle of ripples.

There are no other servants here, except for an old servant.

The samurai and retinue of the old Lu family have their own placements, and what treatment should be given is what kind of treatment it should be.

Since it is not a living water, the water in the small pond does not look clear, and it has a noticeable green tinge.

There are no plants such as lotus roots or lotus flowers, only weeds or wildflowers that are very common by the pond.

There is no garden art system yet.

is also a high authority, even if there are trees or flowers in the mansion, they are generally naturally raised.

The two men sat cross-legged and did not speak for a long time.

Zhigang kept staring at the buoy, and seeing that the buoy repeatedly sank and floated without being lifted, he knew that his mind was not on fishing.

Lu Wu was very relaxed, occasionally glancing at the buoy, and more often with his chin in his hands, half-squinting his eyes, as if he was enjoying a rare leisure.

Zhi Gang can be regarded as speaking, and as soon as he asked, he asked on the point, and said, "You haven't visited Boyou?" ”

Boyou is the table character of Zhongxingyan.

That's right, there are already table words now.

It's just that no one usually calls anyone the word, and it's usually a shout between relatives.

"I came to Xintian for Wen Ji's invitation." Lu Wu didn't hide this from anyone, and said, "I don't want to change the position of the secretary at the time." Now in this situation, I haven't met Wen Ji face-to-face, so it's really not appropriate to visit Shang Junzuo. ”

Zhi Gang's performance was very flat, and he first "......" and pulled a long note before saying: "Wen Ji has great talents, especially Mou Chu." ”

Is this a compliment?

Or are you complaining about it?

You must know one thing, there were three people in the Jin camp who contributed the most in the last time of the Soldier Alliance, Shi Xie and Yuan Hua (the right division of the Song State) gained fame and benefits, but the credit of Yin Zhi was erased.

"Wen Ji once said that when he competed with Chu for hegemony for a long time, not one or two generations could divide the victory or defeat." Zhigang looked even more lazy, and even threw away the fishing rod directly, came to lie flat with his limbs stretched out, and said, "Do you know the old man's strategy?" ”

To tell the truth, Lu Wu didn't know.

He saw that his buoy was floating up and down, and he didn't lift the rod to reel in the line, but continued to hold the rod very steadily.

"Chu is in the south, the territory is so big, we have tried our best to compete with each other repeatedly, but Chu may not." Zhi Gang picked up the wine jue next to him and drank it all, and continued: "It is not an overnight achievement to compete with Chu for hegemony, you should be tired first, and find an opportunity to fight to destroy its courage and make it succumb." ”

He thought that he could only make the Chu State submit at the spiritual level, and he would not be able to destroy the Chu State at all.

If you want to do it, the premise is to toss the Chu State to fatigue first.

In this way, it will be a long-term battle between you and me, and the Jin Kingdom needs to prepare early.

Lu Wu is not stupid.

He seemed to remember that the state of Chu was the country that destroyed the most countries in the early Spring and Autumn Period, so it could have such a vast territory.

And it seems that the state of Chu still has a large number of barbarians?

These barbarians have long been frightened by the Chu people, and they may not be so obedient, but they dare not easily make trouble for the Chu people.

Lu Wu agreed with Zhigang's statement, it is not a war against the Upper Chu State that can completely distinguish the winner and loser, and it will definitely be a very long process.

This has been proven for a long time.

After the Jin State became the overlord of the Central Plains, it had been fighting with the Chu State for half a century with many younger brothers, and it was still impossible to see when who would let who could not stand it first, and then admit it and express submission.

Because the territory of Chu was too large, transportation was inconvenient, and not all nobles were obedient to Chu Jun (who called themselves kings), it was difficult to concentrate all their forces.

Whenever the Chu State went to war with the Central Plains group led by the Jin State, the forces used were only three-four tenths of the country, and more often than not, they were even lower.

If Chu Jun can concentrate all his forces to go north, how about the Jin Kingdom not to mention it first, it is difficult to say how many vassal states in the south and southeast will be left.

Lu Wu also heard a little from Zhi Gang's words.

The confrontation between the Jin State and the Chu State is the main stage.

In confrontation with other countries, no matter how great the merit is, it is only "inferior", and the reward received is not the same as the meritorious service in the Chu State.

Therefore, whether or not you can have a brilliant performance in the confrontation with Chu is the key.

Zhi Gang didn't look at Lu Wu from beginning to end, and he couldn't see Lu Wu's "enlightened" expression.

He asked, "Do you practice archery diligently?" ”

What are you doing!

Practice archery, and then go to the front with Yang Yuji?

Lu Wu had long since discovered that he didn't have any talent in long-range attack skills, and he belonged to the hit rate that was casual no matter how he practiced, so he gave up struggling early.

"Song Jun died of illness." Zhigang's thinking seems to be more exuberant now? He said slowly: "The right master Yuanhua got his wish and took charge of the national affairs of the Song State; The Huan clan headed by Zuo Shi Yushi has long had the heart to seek government, but he has no choice but to be in power. Seeing the death of Gonggong today, he wants to take the opportunity to start an incident. Due to the lack of secrecy and leakage, he was expelled from the Song Kingdom by the Dai clan headed by Hua Yuan. ”

Lu Wu found that he only knew Yuan Hua, and he didn't know which green onion the fish stone was.

When he heard about the right division and the left division, he had to admit that he didn't understand what kind of official position it was.

In fact, the Song State implemented the system of Yin Shang.

This is also one of the reasons why the Zhou royal family has not been waiting to see the Song Kingdom.

The right division is the right prime minister. (equivalent to Marshal + Ruling Force)

The left division is the left prime minister. (Vice)

Yin Shang respects the right, the one in power is the right division, and the left division is a spare tire with no real power.

Zhi Gang talked about the affairs of the Song State with one meaning, this little brother in the south was in chaos, and some nobles fled to the Chu State, maybe the Chu State would attack the Song State this year.

What if the state of Chu really attacked the state of Song?

The Jin State would never watch the situation of the Song State falling to the Chu State because it was invincible, and it was bound to send troops south to help the Song State.

If you do this, the alliance will be in vain.

Lu Wu heard the sound outside the strings and said, "Chu also needs to cultivate and recuperate. If not, why is it so restrained when attacking and defending? ”

The two sat here for so long, and talked for a while, and for the first time, Zhi Gang turned his head to look at Lu Wu, with surprise on his face, and said, "Chu Guo is very restrained? ”

"If Chu has spare strength, the Jin State should send troops to attack the Qin State." Lu Wu took matters into account and said, "The battle of punishment took a long time, which was enough to make Chu take action, but he did nothing. ”

The last time Chu sent troops to attack Zheng Guo, it was completely Zheng Guo who first attacked Xu Guo, the loyal younger brother of Chu State.

After the state of Chu sent troops, Zheng Jun ran away and asked people to go back and surrender first.

Later, the state of Chu invaded the territory of the country, which seemed to be huge but did not invade on a large scale, and the city was not laid.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Chu State does not want to force the Wei State too hard, and it also proves that it does not want to break out a big war with the Jin State.

Zhi Gang really didn't know that Lu Wu had this kind of righteous vision before, and said in surprise: "The old man is clumsy, I don't want you to be brave in martial arts, but you still have this wisdom." ”

Lu Wu: "......"

This doesn't seem to require much orthodox vision, and it can be deduced by understanding some logic to "generalize from partiality", right?
