Chapter 174: Walking the Birds in the City
It was night, and the cold wind was blowing.
Inside the palace of King Lu.
A sumptuous meal was handed over like water.
On the main seat, Jiang Shen, Tian Xiu, Lu Guogong and other high-ranking officials of the three countries sat together.
A few people were polite for a while, and then some dancers came up to help the fun, pushing the atmosphere of the dinner party to a peak.
"Lu Guo is worthy of being the same clan as his son, and the etiquette is clear, and now the rules on this meal can be seen." Jiang Shen smiled and quipped to Lu Guogong, "No wonder you can come out like Confucius, who has a lot of research on etiquette." ”(1)
Lu Guogong waved his hand and said: "Now it is not good, the nations are conquering, who is polite?" Under the patriarchal system, it has fallen apart, and those princes are like mad dogs, staring at the country around them. It is rare for a benevolent and righteous monarch like Haijun to be willing to help others defeat the country and take nothing for himself. ”
Tian Xiu almost didn't tilt his nose when he heard it.
These two people, who are the yin and yang weird here?
Who is the mad dog?
Wang Guo knocked down his 20 cities as soon as he made a move, and he was still the king of benevolence and righteousness?
But Tian Xiu didn't dare to attack.
After all, since he lost the last battle, his current status in the Qi State is also very dangerous.
Therefore, the purpose of this expedition is to take down the Lu State, so before that, I had to endure it.
So Tian Xiu did not have a seizure, but brought the topic to take over the country of Lu.
"General, now this Lu country has surrendered to the whole territory and has all been subsumed under the sea country. I don't know when Haiguo will be able to deliver Lu to our Qi country? Tian Xiu squinted his eyes and went straight to the point.
Jiang Shen said: "The prince is not in a hurry. Lu Guocheng and I are discussing this matter, and we both feel that this matter should be put on the agenda. It's just that I don't know if the equipment of the Qi army can cope with the situation in the Lu country? ”
Tian Xiu was stunned.
"What's not to deal with? The security of the Lu State will be handed over to me, and I will send Qi Wangwei to manage it, according to the standards of the capital of the Qi State, it is always okay, right? ”
Jiang Shen shook his head and said, "I don't think it's a school."
"Prince, you also know that the country of Lu is of the same clan as the son, and it is a state of etiquette. Many things cannot be constrained by force, but by etiquette. ”
"So the prince, if you use the Qi State to manage the Lu State again, the Duke of Lu is not at ease."
Lu Guogong nodded cooperatively: "Prince, you can't do this, you can't manage it well." ”
Tian Xiu: ......
Why is there another feeling that the Sea Kingdom and the Lu Kingdom have joined forces to bully the Qi Kingdom?
"So you, General, what should I do to take over the country of Lu?" Tian Xiu asked.
Jiang Shen groaned slightly, pretending to be very embarrassed, and replied: "I'm afraid that this will require the Qi army, change into the equipment of the Lu army, and manage this place in a way that the people of the Lu country are familiar with." ”
"We, the Sea Country, have always come over like this. It's just that our sea country is a country, and everyone has never seen much of the world, so it is quite fresh to use the set of things in Lu country. ”
"But the Qi army has always been arrogant, especially the King of Qi guarding them, and the hatred with the Lu State is very deep, so they are probably reluctant to use the equipment of the Lu State."
In the end, Jiang Shen also thoughtfully used a trick to provoke the general.
"If the King of Qi is here, with an order, the army will directly use the Lu State and take over smoothly, then there will be nothing."
"But it's a pity that those Qi Wangwei have always been arrogant, and they don't know the prince's ......."
Tian Xiu "snapped" and hit the desk with his hand.
"Could it be that the general thinks that the words of this prince cannot be counted in the army of the Qi State?"
I had to, Jiang Shen's words hit Tian Xiu's weakness at once.
Since he suffered a big loss in the Sea Kingdom, and lost 20 cities, so that many fiefs belonging to the Qi clan fell into the Sea Kingdom, his position as the crown prince has not been interrupted.
Therefore, he must definitely establish his own authority, and he can't let people look down on him!
So Tian Xiu frowned, and immediately ordered: "Pass on the order of the prince, let the Qi army all change into the equipment of the Lu State, and take over the Lu State immediately!" ”
The officials of the Qi State who were ordered felt a little strange about this, but seeing the prince in front of him, his brows were furrowed, obviously he was secretly angry, so he almost found a punching bag to vent.
Therefore, this official naturally didn't dare to touch Tian Xiu's moldy head at this time, so he quickly stepped aside and went according to Tian Xiu's instructions.
……
Lu country, capital, suburbs.
Agent A stretched his waist, ready to brag with Agent B for a while, and was about to go to bed early.
In fact, this time the Qi army is not small, there are 300,000 troops.
For Qi countries, which have been fighting one after another and have suffered huge losses, they can make up this number, which is enough to show their background.
But there are many troops, and they can't stand the many cities in Lu State, so these 300,000 troops, in order to be ready to take over Lu State at all times, are basically dismantled and stationed on the outskirts of various cities.
There are 20,000 or 30,000 more, and only a few thousand.
And the two secret agents A and B, as the core members of Qi Wangwei, naturally want to be stationed near the capital of Lu State.
It may sound like a lot of use, but it's actually a comparison of irritability.
After all, life in the suburbs is really boring......
And they are all directly under Tian Xiu's nose, and they can't go around to have fun. So, I basically developed the habit of bragging and going to bed early......
As for why it can't be stationed in the city, it is naturally because the capital is full of troops from the Lu State and the Sea State.
The Qi army had no say at all, so they were sent to the suburbs.
"It's okay, when you are fully in charge of the Lu Kingdom, Lao Tzu will go to sleep in the palace of King Lu!" Detective Jia was indignant in his heart, and deceived himself with nonsense that he couldn't believe.
"Hehe, don't think about going to Lu Wanggong to sleep, now go to Lu Wanggong for a meal, it's none of your business!" Agent B scoffed.
Detective Jia snorted, turned over, and asked, "Hey, I'm B, what did the prince do when he entered King Lu's palace this time?" ”
Agent B shrugged: "I don't know, maybe we are talking, maybe let's go into the city." ”
Detective Armor stuck out his tongue: "Pull it down, we've been here for a few times, and we haven't been in yet." What are you doing in this big night? ”
"You don't want to go in?" Agent B pouted.
"It's not that I want to or not, it's a question of not being able to get in at all, okay." Detective Jia was also very helpless, "I knew that these few people couldn't get in, so I specially washed my clothes today, and even washed the clothes I was wearing." I'm going to sleep naked tonight. ”
"Tsk." Agent B sighed and said, "What if you enter the city?" ”
"Cut, 10,000 can't get in! If I go into town tonight, I'm going to leave it as it is and walk the birds straight into the city! ”
