Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Rebellion of the Son Kuang Zhang invaded Yan

Feng Yinzi has passed on the Gongbu sword to Xiaofeng, and has high hopes for Xiaofeng, and said with a parting message: "Although the Gongbu sword is a sharp weapon, it is also a dangerous sword, if you abuse its edge, it will be a murder weapon, not only will not help yourself, but will damage your own virtue, and if you want to achieve the great cause of leading the world's heroes, this sword is not enough, you need to sharpen yourself." Remember, remember. ”

The leader of Xiaofengdun said goodbye to Feng Shadow with Ding Hu. The two took the Central Plains and returned to the Liang of Wei to see Zhu Shen and Hou Huan, Zhu Shen and Hou Huan heard that Xiaofeng really got the Gongbu sword, and they were overjoyed, so the two of them came under the command of Xiaofeng and contacted the heroes of Wei for Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng and Ding Hu returned to Hanzhong, convened the heroes under their command, and discussed matters. Xiaofeng set the rules, restrained his subordinates, and ordered everyone to do their jobs and obey orders.

Xiaofeng lived in Hanzhong, on the one hand, he sent people to inquire about the situation of the Central Plains, and on the other hand, he made people contact the heroes and people from all over Hanzhong.

Besides, it has been three years since Yan Wang Hao had given up the country to his son, retired to the position of a minister, and lived in another palace. Such a reversal move, the whole country was in an uproar, and when the princes heard it, they also secretly laughed at King Yan for being confused and absurd.

Zizhi became the monarch of Yan State, although this position is from the throne of King Yan, how can Zizhi compare with Yao Shun, his grace and power are not matched, and the people of the country are not subordinate.

Therefore, when one of the sons ascended to the throne, in addition to his own party forces, he was isolated by the people of Yan State.

Yan Prince Ji Ping was questioned in Qi, heard that King Yan and the Zen throne of the country Zizhi, couldn't help but be shocked and angry, surprised that his father had done such a ridiculous thing, and angry that the son was the king, so where was his prince? However, he is holding himself hostage, and he can't do anything about it for a while.

Ji Ping was hesitating, and the King of Qi suddenly sent someone to greet the prince, and said to Ji Ping: "The monarch and ministers of the Yan Kingdom have been transposed, I am afraid that chaos will happen, the prince, you are the heir of the Yan Kingdom, how can you sit back and watch the rebel minister become the country?" If the prince is willing, the widow will definitely help the prince with the strength of the country! ”

Ji Ping replied to the envoy of Qi with tears: "The country is unfortunate, so that the subordinates are in chaos in the country." When the detainees hear it, their hearts are like knives. If you want to pull out the chaos anyway, you only can't hate. Thank you for the deceased King Qi, and obey the order! ”

Among them, the detainees mean that they are in the Qi country as a hostage, and they use it to claim themselves.

When the king of Qi received Ji Ping's answer, he asked the scholar Meng Kedao: "The Yan people are inverted and the ministers are upside down, will this cause trouble to the country?" ”

Meng Ke is the sub-saint Mencius, a native of Zou, the successor of the mantle of Confucius, a great Confucian of the time, famous all over the world. Traveling around Qi and Song, although he was courteous, he could not be used.

King Xuan of Qi ascended the throne, and wanted to achieve the hegemony of Duke Huan of Qi, Mencius came to the country of Qi for the second time, and King Xuan of Qi treated him with courtesy, respected as a master, and asked Meng Ke for advice on everything.

Seeing that King Qi asked about this matter, Meng Ke replied: "It will definitely be." ”

King Qi asked, "What?" The Master can explain it to the widow! ”

Meng Ke said: "The monarch is the minister, and the cart cannot be reversed." Today, the son of Yan Guozhi occupies the throne as a minister, and the cart before the horse is also reversed. The people of the country will inevitably be dissatisfied, so it can be seen that there will be disasters in the Yan country. ”

The king of Qi asked again: "If there is a disaster in the Yan Kingdom, how can there be no one to cut down?" ”

Meng Ke said: "If the conquest of Yan can make the people of Yan feel happy and happy, why doesn't the king go to conquer him?" ”

King Qi was overjoyed and said, "Good! The words of the master taught the widow. So he made preparations, on the one hand, he helped Ji Ping, the prince of Yan, escorted him back to China, and on the other hand, he waited for the rebellion of Yan State, so he ordered the Qi army to conquer Yan State.

King Qi Xuan said to Ji Ping, the prince of Yan: "I heard that the prince has the heart to uphold justice, and he will use his private interests to abolish the public, pull out the chaos, rectify the order of the monarch and the ministers, and clarify the status of father and son." The country of the widow is very small, and it is not enough to help the prince succeed, even so, the widow is willing to obey the prince's command. ”

Although the King of Qi's words were respectful, the implication was that he was ready to send troops to the Yan Kingdom and meddle in the affairs of the Yan Kingdom.

And Ji Ping lived in Qi at this time as a hostage, so he naturally hoped to get help from Qi State, but he didn't have time to think about it far-reaching, so he agreed to King Qi's request. The State of Qi was allowed to send troops to the State of Yan.

So the king of Qi sent soldiers and horses to escort Ji Ping, the prince of Yan, back to Yan to observe the current situation and then make a military plan.

Besides, after Zizhi became the king of Yan, many people were dissatisfied. And Zizhi acted arbitrarily and arrogantly, rewarding Lu Maoshou, Su Dai brothers and others, and squeezing out and cracking down on dissidents. The crown prince Ji Ping and the general city were originally at odds with the son, and after the son ascended the throne, he wanted to seize the power of the city. He was also worried that the crown prince Ji Ping was a threat to him, so he conspired with Lu Maoshou and Su Dai on how to get rid of the prince's power.

When the general was told that Zizhi was planning to seize his military power, he was furious and said: "Such a rebel and stealing the throne will be punished by everyone!" But they still want to come to me, which is hateful! Why don't I raise an army first! ”

So he gathered thousands of soldiers under his subordinates, climbed high and shouted, and the people of the country followed one after another, and the city was led by 5,000 troops, and tens of thousands of people of Yan accompanied them to attack the palace of King Yan.

When Zizhi heard that the city was attacked by raising troops, he also sent more than 10,000 soldiers from Jicheng in Yan State, and ordered Doctor Lu Maoshou and Keqing Su Dai to lead the resistance.

The two armies are fighting each other outside the gate of Jicheng Yan Palace, and they are inseparable, and Ji Ping, the prince of Yan, has already led the army from Qi to arrive, so they joined forces to attack Zizhi.

After holding each other for more than ten days, the city was unable to conquer the palace gate with Ji Ping, and the two fought in a scuffle, killing tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and the Yan people were terrified.

Seeing this situation, Su Dai said to Zizhi: "The city is just because the king wants to seize his military power, and the crown prince Ji Ping is the trouble of the king's henchmen. The king can carry out a counter-strategy, using the high-ranking officials as a lure to rebel against the city, let him attack the prince, and after eliminating the prince, he can let the city be led to the position of secretary, and the city will inevitably obey. ”

Zizhi sent a letter to the city quilt, gave a large amount of gold and silver goods, and said that if the city could get rid of the prince Ji Ping, he would take the city as the secretary of Yan State.

The city was really a man who forgot his righteousness, and the high-ranking officials who got the son were tempted by gold and silver, so he suddenly turned against him, and turned to attack the prince Ji Ping, who was defeated before Ji Ping could meet the battle, and led the remnants to flee to the endless mountain of Yan State overnight.

Zizhi sent troops to chase and kill the prince, and Ji Ping hurriedly threw down his military horses, pretended to be a commoner, and hid in the endless mountains to take refuge.

Seeing that the prince Ji Ping had already been expelled, he took advantage of the exhaustion of the army of the city to suddenly attack. Zizhi personally led the troops, riding horses and holding spears to gallop in the army, and the city was furious, and he also put on his horse and held a halberd to meet the battle.

Zizhi is very brave, strong in martial arts, extraordinary strength, fast movements, although the city is also a warrior, but the courage is still inferior to Zizhi.

The two fought in the battle for more than 20 years, the city was defeated after all, and one of the spears of the quilt fell off the horse, so the city was killed, and its army had no owner, and they were all scattered.

When the son was victorious, he exposed the corpse of the city to the public, and ordered the country to search for the city and the prince's party. Killing dissidents, for a time the Yan Kingdom was in turmoil, and the people of the country hated their sons to their bones.

When King Qi Xuan heard this, he sighed to Meng Ke again: "What the master said is true, there is indeed a disaster in the Yan Kingdom today!" ”

Meng Ke took the opportunity to advise the King of Qi and said: "Yan Jun has no way, the king can take this opportunity to send troops to conquer Yan State, and there must be something to gain, it is exactly what happened to Qi Huan and Jin Wen back then." ”

King Qi said again: "The widow promised to help Prince Yan before, but now Prince Yan has been defeated, can Yan really kill at this time?" ”

Meng Ke said: "This is like when the Martial King is fighting, the opportunity cannot be lost. The people of Yan State hate the son to the bone, the king sent troops to recruit the son, the people of Yan will inevitably welcome it, and the people can welcome it and conquer its country, what reason does the king have for not sending troops? ”

The king of Qi was overjoyed, so he ordered the general Kuang Zhang to lead 50,000 Qi troops, together with the soldiers on the northern border of Qi, a total of 100,000 people, to march from the Bohai Sea to conquer Yan.

Qi general Kuang Zhang, although brave and good at fighting, but has always been brutal, led the division to drive straight into the Yan realm, the people of Yan saw it, really did not set up resistance, and even welcomed the Qi army into the country, Kuang Zhang's army did not take much effort, marched for 50 days, and arrived at Yandu Jicheng, and then the army came to the city, besieged Jicheng.

When Zizhi heard that the Qi army was coming, he led the army to occupy the palace and discussed with his henchmen the strategy of defending against the enemy. The king should not be anxious, Rong Wu led his troops to resist the Qi army, and the Qi army was an unknown soldier and would inevitably be defeated. ”

So Zizhi ordered Lu Maoshou to lead more than 10,000 troops to attack the Qi army, Kuang Zhang led 20,000 troops to meet each other, fighting at the south gate of Jicheng, the Yan army could not be defeated, Lu Maoshou hurriedly led the army to retreat to the palace, according to the danger for the defense, defend the Qi army, and hold each other.

Su Dai and Su Li saw that the Qi army was not blocked all the way, so they went deep into the Yan realm, and the soldiers were under Jicheng, knowing that Zizhi had gone to the general trend, and the two brothers planned for themselves, and said to Zizhi that they would go to Wei to ask the King of Wei to send troops to save Yan Guo, and in danger, Zizhi had no choice but to send Su Dai brothers to Wei.

The Su Dai brothers escaped from Jicheng, but they did not go to Wei and came to their hometown of Eastern Zhou.

After holding each other for a few days, Kuang Zhang ordered the Qi army to attack Jicheng, break through its southeast two gates, and enter the inner city to besiege the palace.

Zizhi could not hold out in the city, and the soldiers fled one after another. The people of Jicheng in Yan State did not help Zizhi but the Qi army, and Zizhi relied on his own bravery, so he and Lu Maoshou led the army to counterattack, preparing to break through and leave.

When Kuang Zhang saw it, he commanded the Qi army to surround more than 10,000 people from Zizhi and Lu Maoshou, and Zizhi said loudly: "This is the time to use your life!" "Take the lead, swing a spear and leap on a horse, and lead the army into the Qi army.

Lu Maoshou also led the army to kill, but was stopped by Kuang Zhang's army, and after a fight, the Yan army was defeated, and Lu Maoshou died in the chaos.

The two armies fought in Jicheng for half a day, and the Yan army was defeated. Most of Zizhi's subordinate sergeants were captured by the Qi army. Zizhi still fought to the death, holding a spear, blood-stained armor, and the horse had been injured and fell to the ground, Zizhi fought on foot with a spear, killing more than 100 Qi soldiers before and after, and he was also wounded by dozens of wounds, unable to fight, so he was captured by the Qi army.

Zizhi was captured, Kuang Zhang led the army into the palace of Jicheng City, killed the party of Zizhi, occupied the palace of the king of Yan, collected its treasures, burned the Yan Palace, and destroyed the temple of Yanguo Zongji. The arsons plundered, killed the Yan people, and the Jicheng was in chaos.

King Yan lived in another palace, heard that the Qi army was coming, captured Zizhi, the Qi army killed the people, destroyed the temple, Yan Wang Xu cried bitterly and said: "Su Dai, Lu Maoshou mistook me!" Now that the temple was destroyed, what face do I have to live in the world. So he killed himself in another palace.

The Qi army sent troops for more than 50 days, penetrated deep into the Yan realm, Kuang Zhang's troops plundered, and the Yan country was almost destroyed.

King Xuan of Qi took advantage of this to annex most of the Yan Kingdom into the Qi State, and after Kuang Zhang ransacked Jicheng, he led the army to escort the treasures and property of the Yan State and captured the class teachers such as Zizhi.

Kuang Zhang escorted his son to Linzi of Qi State, and King Qi Wei saw it and scolded: "Pifu'an dares to take the minister as the king, and the discipline is disturbed!" Therefore, the great treachery of the sons was ordered, and the chopped flesh of the sons was called the punishment of the gods, so as to warn the world.

The Yan people hated Zizhi, and when they saw the Qi army coming, although they exterminated Zizhi, Kuang Zhang's troops ransacked and invaded and annexed dozens of cities in Yan State, and they were full of resentment, so they all complained that the prince should not summon the Qi army into the country. Hearing that the prince was in the end, he went to attack it and attacked and killed the prince Ji Ping in the end of the mountain.
