Chapter 59 Collection of Royalties
Le Yi stayed in the Qi State to fight continuously, and captured more than 50 Qi cities, all of which were divided into counties and counties, which belonged to the management of the Yan State. Only more than 20 cities in the Qi State have not been captured, and the Yan State has become stronger than ever.
Le Yi believes that although the city of Qi has been defeated by himself, there are still more than 300,000 troops in Qi, and now that the Jin army has withdrawn, it is not realistic to rely on the Yan army alone to destroy Qi in a short time.
The whole war lasted for several months, and the army also needed to rest, so Leyi adopted a policy of besieging but not attacking the remaining cities. By reducing taxes and reducing taxes in the conquered areas, abolishing harsh policies, respecting local customs and habits, protecting the inherent culture of the Qi country, and giving preferential treatment to local celebrities, he was preparing to fundamentally dismantle the Qi country through policies that would subdue the hearts of the people.
In the process of Yan attacking the Qi army, the king of Qi also sent people to Xiang Yu for help many times. Xiang Yu and Hua Long thought that the Qi State had not yet reached the point of destroying the country, and they also found various reasons to shirk it, and never sent troops to support the Qi State.
Now the battlefield is 270,000 Yan troops versus more than 300,000 Qi troops, and the two sides are deadlocked, and neither will attack.
Xiang Yu Hualong was about to withdraw, but he withdrew like this, and it was not very good, so he sent someone to King Qi and said: "King Qi, King Zhou urgently recruited me to wait for Luoyi, and now the Yan army will not attack you for the time being." In case the Yan army attacked fiercely, the king of Qi could avoid its edge and retreat to the city of Qufu of the Zhou Dynasty, and the Yan State would definitely not dare to attack the Zhou Dynasty. When the time comes, I, Xiang Yu, will lead troops to help King Qi restore the country. ”
After hearing this, the King of Qi thought: There is no other way, Xiang Yu did not cooperate with Yan Guo to attack Qi this time, it is already righteous enough, in case he is forced by Yan Guo and has no way out, he really needs Xiang Yu's help to restore the country. Then he said to the envoy: "You go and reply to General Xiang, this king thanks him for his kindness, and ask General Xiang to help him in the future." ”
Xiang Yu Hualong returned to Luoyi with his men and horses, and this time he sent troops for a few months, but he did not get any actual benefits, that is, the Song State declared himself a vassal to the Zhou Dynasty, but the Qi State would follow the Zhou Dynasty with all his heart in the future.
After Hua Long came back, he rested for two days, Ji Xian found her and said, "Brother Hua, our Immortal Dance has been completed, and now we have recruited some people, and we have also choreographed some dances according to your requirements, you see when it will open." ”
You choose a day, ask Yan Shu to help, post some notices in the city first, inform everyone to come and visit for free, I will go to King Zhou, and ask him to bring some dignitaries to the party, and Brother Xiang and I will also bring some people to the party.
The next day, Hua Long found King Zhou, and King Zhou said: "Hua Aiqing, this time I have been out with troops for a few months, and it has been hard. ”
Hua Long said: "King Zhou, there is no war this time, and it is not hard. I'm here today because the Dance of the Immortals, which we invested in, is about to open now, so please invite the ministers and the royal family and nobles to visit. ”
King Zhou said: "I am in good place for a day, and it is not good to invite them to that kind of place. ”
Hua Long said: "This is not an unsightly thing, the grade of our singing and dancing may be better than those songs and dances in your palace, you bring everyone over, it is also to help publicity, and it is also to do a good job of publicity for the construction of the entire Luoyi City." ”
The king of Zhou said, "Okay, the widow depends on you." King Zhou thought to himself: The widow thought that you would make it a comfortable nest there, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
After Hua Long went back, he discussed with Xiang Yu and them, and first brought some officers over to visit. Ji Ling said: "The opening time is not allowed, but it must come down, and my heart is itchy, and I wish it would come early." ”
Ji Yan also said: "The princess is right, and I feel the same way." ”
Xiang Yu said: "Is it so urgent?" Xiang Yu hadn't seen Ji Xian dance, so he thought the two of them were a bit exaggerated.
Ji Yan and Ji Ling both said: "Brother Xiang, you will know when you see it, and I guarantee that you will have an endless aftertaste after watching it." ”
Now everyone was whetted by the two of them, and they all said, "Then we must go and have a good look." ”
During this time, everyone has been waiting in torment. Hualong also ran to the Dance of Immortals every day to see the rehearsal effect and put forward some suggestions. There are many programs, all of which are based on the famous dance music that Hua Long already had in his time, and he asked Ji Xian to rearrange it according to the requirements he described.
The night before the opening, Xia Xueqin came to Hualong's room, and Hualong said: "Sister Qin, I haven't been together for several months, I miss me." ”
Xia Xueqin said: "There are beautiful women everywhere around you, how can you remember me?" ”
Hua Long said: "How is it possible, I have arranged a good place outside, and after the opening of the Dance of Immortals, I am ready to find an excuse for you to move over." ”
Xia Xueqin said happily: "Really, you didn't lie to me. ”
Hua Long said, "What am I lying to you about?" ”
Xia Xueqin picked up Hua Long and kissed her, Hua Long kissed her breasts, and when Hua Long's hand wanted to touch it again, Xia Xueqin pushed him away and said, "Brother Hua, I was very embarrassed to be touched by you last time, and when you are busy for this time, I will move over, is it okay to really be your woman?" ”
Hua Long thought: It's not good to touch her like this, and when I touch her again, I still can't solve it, and it's even more uncomfortable. He said, "Okay, just wait a little longer." ”
The two hugged and kissed again, and Xia Xueqin went back.
Early the next morning, Xiang Yu Hualong took everyone to go together, and after arriving at the Dance of the Immortals, they had already seen some people waiting outside, and Xiang Yu Hualong and they didn't go in, they knew that King Zhou was coming, and they were ready to meet them outside.
There are more and more people, although Hualong arranged to control the number of visitors, and only those who received a sign can enter, but many people who do not have a brand, due to curiosity, still come.
Seeing that there were too many people, Hualong simply asked someone to arrange for those with signs to enter the venue in advance, so as not to be too crowded and inconvenient to move when King Zhou came over.
After a while, King Zhou came over with a group of people, and those who walked in front were King Zhou, the queen, and the prince, and the current prince was the prince who used to fight with Xiang Yu Hualong. King Zhou was followed by Yan Shu and other ministers, as well as princes and nobles.
Hua Long and the others immediately went over to greet King Zhou, and then took King Zhou to the VIP room on the second floor of the hall, and the others were also taken to the corresponding rooms.
King Zhou, Queen, Prince, Princess, Yan Shu, Xiang Yu, Hua Long, Ji Yan, Cao Di, and Chen Sheng were arranged in one room.
As soon as he sat down, King Zhou's eyes straightened when he saw Ji Yan, and he kept staring at her, Ji Yan was embarrassed and lowered his head. Everyone noticed it, because it was King Zhou, and in front of so many people, Xiang Yu couldn't say anything.
Hua Long hurriedly said: "King Zhou, let me introduce you, this beauty is called Ji Yan, she is my godsister, and General Xiang has always liked her." ”
When King Zhou heard this, he thought that since Xiang Yu had taken a fancy to her first, it was not good for him to have any more ideas. Then he said: "General Xiang really has a vision, such a beauty is really rare in the world, and everyone has seen it." ”
Although Ji Yan didn't like Xiang Yu, she knew that Hualong was helping her, and in order to dispel King Zhou's thoughts, she couldn't object. Then he said: "King Zhou, you have won the award, the little woman has no virtue and no talent, and the queen is the beauty of the country and the mother of the world." ”
The queen hurriedly said: "Miss Ji Yan, don't be modest, your appearance is indeed rare in the world, and only a hero like General Xiang is worthy of you." ”
After the two of them praised each other, Hualong introduced all the personnel on both sides. Everyone was kind to each other again.
After a while, the front desk announcer said: The dance will start in a quarter of an hour. At the same time, the service staff also brought some fruit refreshments, and everyone chatted while eating.
