Two

Da Liang and Xiao Liang and their subordinates were carried away by the victory in front of them, and pursued them one after another, and unknowingly crossed the mountain pass and came to the vicinity of the east gate of Lixia.

Before he had time to stop, there was a sudden sound of cannons, golden drums sounded in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The thistle reeds and grass are full of Qi soldiers who are in ambush, and they are overwhelmingly killed.

Rong Shuai Xiaoliang chased after the front, hurriedly reined in the war horse under his crotch, and shouted: "It's bad, our army is in a plan!" Hurry up and give me a retreat! ”

Rong Shuai, who was chasing in front, led his subordinates to turn their horses and go back. It happened to clash with the rear team of Rong Shuai Daliang, who was tracking behind, both armies were cavalry, the path was narrow, the horses were fast, and some of the sergeants who had no time to dodge were rammed under the horses. The other dogs had no choice but to gallop in all directions.

Gongsun Dai Zhong and Jiang Yuan joined forces to chase and fight, and the Qi soldiers who had been holding back for a long time finally had a chance to break out, and they drove the chariots to Rong Di's Qi soldiers at a gallop.

Rong Shuai Daliang and Xiao Liang were opposite, and they were busy gesturing to Xiao Liang, asking Xiao Liang to lead his troops to retreat, and signaling to Xiao Liang that he was coming to break off. When Daliang led the army to the moment of confrontation with the Qi army, he found that the Qi army was really strong, and there was little to talk to his subordinates, and there was no way to break the queen, so he could only fight and go. Just leave a little time for Xiaoliang's men to retreat. Daliang led his men to resist for a while, and when they saw that they couldn't resist the Qi army, they could only turn around and retreat, and the laggards under Daliang were captured and beheaded by the Qi soldiers.

When Xiaoliang's soldiers and horses bypassed the mountain pass, the soldiers who had been running desperately for several hours were already sweating and panting. The fleeing Rong soldiers marched to the bottom of another mountain called Queshan, and saw that the chasing army of Qi was getting farther away, and found that they had lost half of their subordinates, and wanted to rectify a little to fill their stomachs for the remaining remnants of the army before fleeing. Before he could catch his breath, before he had time to put on the stove, there was a sudden cannon sound in the mountain on the left, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and a group of men and horses rushed out of the mountain, led by a loud shout: "Where are the thieves escaping, Admiral Zheng Guo Gao Qumi is here." ”

At this time, the rear of the yield rate also followed, and I didn't dare to stay for a long time when I saw this. Da Liang and Xiao Liang hurriedly got on their horses, had no intention of fighting, and led the remnants of the army to flee. Gao Qumi then covered up the killing.

The remnants of Daliang and Xiaoliang traveled for about a few miles, and because there was Gao Qumi chasing and killing on the left side under the Queshan Mountain, the Rong soldiers desperately retreated to the right. Just opened a little distance from Gao Qumi's pursuers, Da Liang and Xiao Liang have not yet breathed a sigh of relief, they heard a cannon sound in front of the right, shouted to kill again, a Zheng character flag fluttered up, Zheng Guo's son General Ji led the troops to kill, it turned out that Ji Hu led his troops to the north to see that the terrain here was open, and it could be divided into two ways to attack in the north and south, so that the dog Rong would not easily escape, so he and Gao Qumi ambushed both sides and staggered the distance. This net is really a net.

If you just met Gao Qumi, you still have the strength to turn your horse and escape, and when you see General Ji Hu's soldiers, not to mention those exhausted sergeants, even Daliang and Xiaoliang can't do anything. If you want to escape, you have no way out, and if you want to kill, you have no strength, so you can only grit your teeth and hold on to the decisive battle with Zheng Jun, and at this time, Jiang Yuan, who was chasing after him, led the Qi soldiers to arrive. The three-way soldiers and horses are fighting together, where is there still a way to live in Daliang and Xiaoliang. The soldiers were scattered and fled for their lives. Xiaoliang was shot in the head by Zhu Dan and fell from a horse to his death. Daliang desperately beat his horse to escape from the siege of the Zheng army, and General Ji Hu's chariot came head-on. Ji suddenly roared: "Rong Di, where to escape!" ”

In the roar of General Ji Hu, Daliang himself went down with his war horse Ji Hudu. Daliang, like his horse, really couldn't hold it anymore. Ji suddenly waved the halberd, and saw Daliang's head fall to the ground. The battle was indeed brilliant, and the combined armies of Qi and Zheng completely annihilated the invading dog Rong.

General Ji Hu ordered his subordinates to mention the heads of Daliang and Xiaoliang, and escorted the captured Rongdi soldiers to the big tent of Qi Gong to make contributions.

Duke Qi came out of the big tent, took the hand of the prince Ji Hu and entered the big tent side by side, Duke Qi was so happy, and said as he walked: "If General Ji Hu is brave and strategic, how can the soldiers be completely annihilated so easily?" Today, Qi Guosheji is safe, and the general has made a great contribution! The widow doesn't know how to thank the general! ”

Ji Hu smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's still the king's command, and he works a little under the puppet, so he doesn't have to praise him so much!" ”

At this time, someone came to report that the reinforcements of Lu and Weiguo had arrived in Linzi. Qi Qi laughed openly and said to the people around him: "With General Ji Hu here, where is the Lu army and the Wei army, tell them to go back." However, we must comfort the Lao Lu army and the guards, and send them off with kind words. ”

Qi Jiaogong sent his close ministers to hurry back to Linzi on his behalf. On his behalf, he went to inform Lu Guo and Wei Guo.

Here, he ordered his subordinates to hold a large banquet to entertain General Ji Hu and his entourage.

After three rounds of drinking, Qi Qigong's face also became ruddy, and he looked at Ji Hu with thick eyebrows and big eyes, graceful and dignified. The tiger's back and bear's waist show a heroic spirit, and he does not go straight to express his heart: "The widow girl is just becoming a young woman, and she can marry the general as a concubine." I don't know how the general is? ”

Ji Hu hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare." The little general is only shallow in learning, and he dares to marry his daughter. ”

Qi Jiaogong thought that Ji Hu was modest in his mouth, so he waved his hand and said: "The little girl Wenjiang has been pampered by widows since she was a child, but she has learned poetry, piano, calligraphy and painting, and has the girl's family to recuperate. ”

Ji Hu was still humble. said: "How dare Ji Hucai climb the noble daughter!" ”

Qi Gong still thought that Ji Hu was humble, so he wanted to marry Wen Jiang to this talented general Ji Hu, the son of Zheng Guo.

After the banquet dispersed, Qi Jiaogong appointed his half-brother Yi Zhongnian to facilitate the marriage. Yi Zhongnian happily accepted his order.

Yi Zhongnian privately discussed with Gao Qumi to fulfill Qi Gong's wish to marry a daughter.

Because Yi Zhongnian had attacked the Song State with the combined forces of Zheng and Lu, Gao Qumi happened to have fought side by side with him. With such an experience of fighting side by side, the two generals can be regarded as people with a common language. It wasn't until Gao Qu Mi said to Yi Zhongnian: "My country's monarch is a hero, and I am willing to marry well." Shimen Alliance, the two monarchs have already said that the marriage of the prince is good, but they have not received a positive answer, I don't know if Zheng Guojun agrees. During today's banquet, I, the monarch of Qi State, personally talked about marriage in front of General Ji Hu, the prince of the world. General Ji Hu still insisted on not complying, I don't know what he means? ”

Gao Qumi was also stuffy in the gourd, he shook his head, and said, "I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Ji Hu's gourd, whether he is humble or unwilling!" ”

Gao Qumi didn't dare to accept it, so he gave Gao Qumi a gift list and said to Gao Qumi: "The general has made this marriage happen with his heart, and I, the monarch of Qi State, have allowed me to repay the general's merits." ”

Speaking of which, Yi Zhongnian handed a gift list to Gao Qumi, which read: two pairs of white walls, one hundred gold and one hundred .......

It's tempting. As Zheng Guo's doctor and general, he Gao Qumi couldn't earn such wealth for ten or eight years. Although Gao Qumi coveted this generous gift, he didn't dare to agree easily.

Gao Qumi said: "I can ask General Ji Hu for your temptation, whether it will be successful or not." ”

It's not for nothing that Gao Qumi has no bottom in his heart. After the Shimen Alliance, Zheng Zhuanggong returned to China and asked the prince Ji Hu in person, but Ji Hu did not agree at that time. And Gao Qumi felt that this son of the world did not take him as a deputy general in his eyes, and he was very conceited, and he would not easily adopt other people's opinions.

Yi Zhongnian repeatedly entrusted, hoping that Gao Qumi would do his best to facilitate this marriage, and asked him to leave after repeated times.

Gao Qu Mi came to see the prince Ji Hu, and talked about the praise of the prince on the wine table of Qi Xu, hoping to awaken Ji Hu's good impression of Qi Guo. Then he said to Ji Hu seriously: "If the prince can marry the Qi country, it is a great thing, he can get the support of a big country like the Qi country when he succeeds to the throne, and I am afraid that he will not become the 'Fang Bo' of the Central Plains?" Please think twice, I think that if this marriage can be fulfilled, it must be a beautiful thing for the prince himself and Zheng Guo! ”

Ji Hu said: "After the alliance between Qi and Zheng Shimen, my father once said that Duke Qi would marry his daughter Wen Jiang to me, and at that time I said that I would not dare to climb high. Now that I was ordered to save Qi, fortunately I won and succeeded, and at this time I accepted this marriage and returned, outsiders will definitely say that I hijacked the marriage with my military exploits, and I can't say it clearly. So this marriage is unacceptable. ”

Gao Qumi said: "It is glory for the son of the world to be in the war, and it is this glory that the prince of Qi Qi looks down on the son of the world, and there is no such thing as hijacking." Moreover, Qi is a big country, and there is no problem of being held hostage. ”

Ji Hu said: "The bigger the country, the more unsuitable it is to marry. Well, you don't have to worry about that. I have made up my mind that I don't want to marry a big country. ”

Gao Qumi's heart was so angry, thinking about the white jade, thinking about the yellow and brilliant hundred and golden ......, all of them came to naught. This time, he came out to aid Qi with Ji Hu, not only did he not get any good benefits, but he was angry with Ji Hu everywhere, and he lost the face of the general in the past in front of the monarchs and ministers of Qi State, not to mention, and the property that should have been at his fingertips was also lost. Gao Qumi left Ji Hu's big tent listlessly.

Gao Qumi repeatedly matched, but Ji Hu just didn't allow it. had no choice but to give a message to Yi Zhongnian.

Yi Zhongnian told the results of Gao Qumi's matchmaking to Qi Xugong, but Qi Yigong still didn't give up, and let Yi Zhongnian see Ji Hu in person and discuss Wen Jiang's marriage with Ji Hu in person.

Yi Zhongnian had no choice but to go to see Ji Hu and explain to Ji Hu the intentions of the Qi State Army.

Ji Hu still shirked, he said: "Ji Hu didn't ask for his father's life, how dare he marry privately, this matter must not be." ”

Yi Zhongnian had no choice, and when Qi Zhongnian asked about the situation, Yi Zhongnian replied with Ji Hu's four words: "Qi Da don't be even." ”

Qi Gong was angry: "The widowed Qi country is a big country, and it can afford to discuss marriage with you." What 'Qi Da Don't Be Even', bullshit reasons, I don't believe it, the widow has a beautiful woman, and the widow can't get married without you! ”

Although Ji Hu was wise and brave on the battlefield, he couldn't stand the marriage battle in front of him. According to Qi Jiaogong's retention, he should stay for a few more days, but Ji Hu is already like sitting on pins and needles, and it is difficult to stay in Qi country. In order not to see the embarrassed face of Qi Gong, he just said goodbye to Yi Zhongnian and conveyed it to Qi Gonggong through him.

Indeed, Ji Hu's resignation greatly affected Qi Yugong's mood, and he did not personally see off Ji Hu, but only sent his son Jiang Zhu'er to replace the send-off ceremony. Ji Hu hastily left Qi Guo and returned home.

After Ji Hu returned to China, he reported the victory of the battle to Zheng Zhuanggong, and also informed Zheng Zhuanggong of his resignation.

Zheng Zhuanggong didn't take it seriously: "A son can make meritorious deeds on his own, why don't you have a good marriage." Just quit. ”

When he heard about this on the side, he felt sorry for Ji Hu in his heart, and turned around to find Gao Qumi and said in private: "You can have multiple wives and concubines for you, and Gongzi Tu, Gongzi Qi, and Gongzi Ying all covet the position of the prince. If the prince becomes attached to a big country, he will receive the support of a big country and sit in the country. Qi Guo does not take the initiative to propose marriage, and the prince should find a way to climb to get married, how can he give up such a good opportunity by himself? You are a subordinate of the prince of the world, and you are also a close confidant of the prince, why don't you persuade him well? ”

Gao Qumi shook his head bitterly, sighed deeply and said, "I persuaded him, but he didn't listen to me!" ”

The sacrificial foot sighed and went away.
