CHAPTER XXXIV
Wei Ran's plan is to separate Ran Fei and King Qi, but he can't say that Ran Fei is rebelling all at once, because this is too fast, King Qi may not believe it, and only come step by step.
Wei Ran's meticulous work was waiting for an opportunity in the Qi Kingdom, a chance for the King of Qi to kill Ran Fei, and the Yan Kingdom was also waiting for this opportunity.
As long as Ran Fei dies and there is no general in the northern part of Qi State, then there will be no problem in attacking Linzi directly.
On this day, Wei Ran took people out to play, and one of his subordinates did not listen to the order, so he angered the horse and ran away. The housekeeper originally wanted to kill him directly, but Wei Ran suddenly had a kind heart and went around him. But Wei Ran suddenly thought of something, and a gloomy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, let's kill it to set an example! Then came the heart-rending cry for mercy.
Six days later, a small army of Yan pretended to be lost and broke into the border of Qi, and the Qi army found out and reported to the general, who ordered immediate arrest, and those who did not surrender, killed! But after issuing the order, it was found that several major generals had been removed from their posts, and the newly appointed generals went out to make arrangements, but because of their lack of experience, it led to chaos, and the Yan army soon fled and missed the fight. This matter cannot be hidden, and sooner or later it will reach the ears of King Qi. The newly appointed general has a headache, and if he is small, he will be punished, and if he is big, he may be beheaded. But that night, a mysterious man came to the barracks, and this person said that he was able to solve the general's problem.
The general was skeptical at first, but there was really no way, so he simply asked the dead horse to be a live horse doctor and invited him in.
The general was furious in his heart, but he was stopped by his subordinates and told the general, "Let's take a look first, if he really has a way, then it's fine, but if it's teasing you, then it's not too late to pull it out and kill it." ”
The general nodded and ordered his men to serve food and wine. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the people who came showed their true colors, and a white-haired old man hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for the general's hospitality, the old man is grateful!" Since you have eaten the general's things, you have to do the general a favor. ”
General: "Thank you for your advice, please!" ”
Old man: "This northern part was originally under the jurisdiction of Marshal Ran, and Yuan Qi was his confidant, and it was normal for the general not to be able to manage it well in a short period of time, after all, Ran Fei had deep roots in this tree, but this is not necessarily a bad thing." ”
The general was very upset when he heard him say that he was not well managed, but what he said was also reasonable, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and also pulled his subordinates. "That's what the gentleman said! I hope Mr. will give me advice! ”
Old man: "Since this was originally Ran Fei's territory, what happened can be said to have something to do with him!" ”
The general pondered for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, "Good! Good! Good! Sure enough, it's a good plan! Thank you sir very much! ”
The old man clenched his fists, "Where, where!" It is an honor to be able to help the general. ”
General: "Come, prepare a good bed for Sir, from now on, Sir, is my guest." ”
But the old man didn't seem to want to stay here, and immediately took his leave, no matter how much the general tried to keep him, he couldn't change his mind, and the general could only let him go.
Three days later, in the palace of the King of Qi, the King of Qi saw the music from the north, and was so angry that he slapped it on the table, "Ran Fei dared to be so bold and let the Yan army come and go freely in order to fight for power and profit." ”
When the attendants beside him saw King Qi angry, they were all startled and didn't dare to speak. After a while, King Qi's most trusted attendant stepped forward and said, "King, Ran Fei's mercenaries are self-respecting, although they have merit, they can't let it go, otherwise if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will reappear the ...... six years ago."
Before the attendant could finish speaking, King Qi interrupted him and said, "Six years ago, the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi, and a big reason was that my father was arrogant and domineering, which caused the public anger of the Five Kingdoms. But the frontier is a big responsibility, even if Ran Fei is dissatisfied with me, but he can't joke about the border defense! This time it's just Yan Jun's reconnaissance, what if it really hits next time? ”
Squire: "What do you mean?" ”
King Qi "gave Ran Fei a warning first, and if he committed it again, he would be dismissed on the spot." ”
Ran Fei inexplicably received the scolding of King Qi, and he was very unfair in his heart, and scolded in front of Zhang Dali and others, "Faint Jun!" Let's not say whether this matter is really related to me, and even if it is, you should ask me about the real situation first. ”
Zhang Dali was also uneven, "Big brother, King Qi is becoming more and more distrustful of us, let?" ”
Ran Fei scolded angrily: "Hmph! If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be killed for distrust. Now there are two ways, first, I abandon my post and return to the field, become an ordinary person, and no longer participate in the affairs of the court, which can ensure the safety of the rest of my life. Ran Fei paused for a moment and said, "But you will still be suspected by King Qi, after all, we are brothers." ”
Zhang Dali's heart was very angry, and he punched the table, directly shattering the table into several pieces. "Bastard King Qi, we were born and died for him, and he even suspected us! Big brother, let's quit, let's go back and be bandits! ”
"That's right! Let's go back and be bandits! "Yes!" "This broken court, this and that, where is our previous life comfortable!" …… Everyone unanimously agreed that Hui Jiulong Mountain would be a bandit and continue to live a happy life.
But Ran Fei said, "Go back, yes, we can ignore our dead brothers, how many brothers have we died for today's status?" If we just go back, are we worthy of them? It's not easy to clear his identity, and our brother can finally marry a wife openly and honestly, and he has a reputation, so let's just go back? I'm not reconciled! Today's days are all bought by dead brothers in exchange for their lives. ”
The scene was silent, everyone didn't speak, and now many of the people present have already married, if they really go back, how many people can really abandon their families and children?
A brother stepped forward, "Big brother, then you say, what to do!" We listen to you! ”
"Yes, big brother, what do you say!" "Big brother, you say, we all listen to you!" …… There was a chorus of support.
Ran Fei stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and when there was no sound, Ran Fei said, "Since the north is our brothers in exchange for their lives, then we can't just give it to the king of Qi so easily, I think so, the king of Qi has always been just using us, we fought bloodily under the leadership of Tiandan's Xiangguo, and then returned to the land of Qi, but in the eyes of the king of Qi, we are just a chess piece, first give me the position of marshal and Shangqing, stabilize the situation, and then slowly replace the high-level in the north with his henchmen, in the end, he has never regarded us as his own people." ”
When everyone heard this, they recalled the past, and found that it was indeed as Ran Fei said, when it was just revived two years ago, Ran Fei alone had the final say in the north, but in less than half a year, it became Lu Zhonglian and Ran Fei who had the final say, and now, the military power has been divided again, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the brothers will not be worth anything at that time.
Everyone was very angry when they thought of this, this King of Qi seemed to be honest and mediocre, but in fact he was scheming and vicious, and for his own selfish interests, he completely ignored the thoughts of the heroes. It's chilling.
Ran Fei continued, "The northern part was fought by me and Tian Dan together, and most of the Qi State was also, and Tian Dan Xiangguo was supposed to lead the army, but he was transferred to Linzi, I think the King of Qi must be afraid that Tian Dan's mercenaries would be self-respecting and not listen to orders, so he put Tian Dan by his side to monitor." ”
Everyone was stunned, if what Ran Fei said was true, then the scheming of King Qi was really deep enough.
"My thoughts are." Ran Fei smiled, "Since most of the land of the Qi Kingdom was obtained by our brothers in bloody battles, then let's take a little from him, I don't think it's too much." Ran Fei paused and continued, "Let's be the king!" ”
"Ahh Everyone was very surprised, you must know that this is a mercenary self-reliance, and if you can't get it, you have never thought about this kind of thing, and because of the superstitious thoughts at that time, they all thought that the king was sent down by heaven and was destined, and no one among the ordinary people thought of doing this kind of thing.
