Trembling, like walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss, this sentence is the most appropriate way to describe Tanzi's mood at the moment.

Tan State, originally after the Shao Hao clan, its history can be traced back to two or three thousand years ago in the Liang Hao era, when there was a tribe surnamed Ying settled in Yishui Liu, established a city-state, named "Tan", at that time, the ancestors of Xia Shang Zhou were still ignorant savages.

Although Tan has a long history and is a cultural center in the Dongyi region, due to its easterly location, there is not much communication with the Central Plains. It was not until after the Eastern Expedition of the Duke of Zhou that the Tan State was incorporated into the Chinese system, submitted to the Zhou Dynasty, and was made a sub-state. After the time entered the Spring and Autumn Period, Tan became a vassal of the Lu State in the north, and the two sides married many times, and Tan Zi also repeatedly went to Lu, absorbing a lot of Zhou rites of the Lu State, and combining with the local Shaohao relics to form a unique culture.

After the rise of the state of Wu, the northern expedition to the state of Tan, since then the state of Tan involved in the gap between the three forces of Qi, Wu and Lu, in the middle of being pushed around, without a day of stopping, the past dynasties of Tan can only rely on the strong, in order to maintain their own society. It was not until twenty years ago that the state of Wu had completely swept Huaisi, and the state of Tan completely became a vassal state of the king of Wu.

The official position of the Tan people is the name of the bird, even the name of the nobles is also the name of the bird, this generation of Tan Zi is called "Hong", Tan Zihong has been obediently listening to the words of Wu since he succeeded to the throne for ten years, and he has to pay tribute on time every year, and his status is similar to that of a small feudal monarch of Wu State, so as to barely maintain the independence of Tan State.

Who would have expected that since the beginning of this year, the situation in Sishang has changed suddenly, the Wu army has launched a large-scale northern expedition, and Zhao has fought in Song and Lu, Tan is at a loss on the edge of the whirlpool, and Tan Zihong can't sleep at night, always worried that one day will there be an army coming to the city?

His fears became a reality in mid-July, and when he woke up, Tan Zihong was stunned to find that a cavalry of 3,000 Zhao troops had already called for the door under his city, and in the distance, 5,000 Zou troops were slowly driving up, raising smoke and dust in the sky.

The people of Tan Guo, who have always been good at writing and not good at martial arts, were stunned, and Tan Zihong also wanted to cry without tears. The country of Tan is too small, the entire territory is less than fifty li, the population is less than 10,000, and the guards in the city are only 500. Under absolute force, he had no choice but to open the city gates, surrender naked, leading the lamb.

Just when Tan Zihong was desperate to think that Zhao Jun would level his city and wipe out the Tanguo Sheji, a nobleman who called himself Zhao Guangde helped him up with a smile, wiped the dust off his body, and put on clothes for him, saying that Zhao and Tan are both descendants of the surname Ying, and Zhao Hou has already seen his distant relative for a long time.

Immediately, Zhao Guangde couldn't help but say, stuffed Tan Zi and his small harem people into a few carriages, and sent soldiers to escort them out of Tan State, as for the eight thousand Zhao troops, there is another task to complete......

The road of Lu Guo was very smooth after repair, and the speed was very fast, Tan Zihong was taken to the Song State in such a daze, where he had never been in his life, in the Zhao army camp in Mayi, east of Mangdang Mountain, he saw his "distant relative" Zhao Hou Wuxian.

……

"Tan Jun took the initiative to give way to let Zhao Guo's partial division pass, he really knows the general situation, distinguishes between good and evil, the widow has thanked him here, and he has worked hard along the way."

Unlike Tan Zihong's imagination of the cruel and domineering, who wants the whole clan to destroy the whole family if he disagrees, Zhao Wuxian treats him very kindly, because the two are of the same age, Tan Zi quickly let go of his nervousness and talked to him.

"In the seventeenth year of Lu Zhaogong, who was the son of Lu?" After chatting for a while, Zhao Wuxian asked.

Tan Zihong hurriedly replied: "It is my grandfather, nicknamed Wen Gong......"

Zhao Wuxian praised: "The law is said, the morality is erudite, and the literature is knowledgeable; The people are courteous, and they are courteous. It's a perfect match. "It seems that although Tan Guo has retained many Dongyi etiquette, it has been in line with Zhuxia in terms of law.

"The widow has always admired Tan Wengong, and when he heard that he was the prince, he was able to serve his relatives with deer milk, which can be called pure filial piety. Succeeded to the throne and loved the people, so that the culture and education of the Tan State flourished, and he was hired by the Lu State and talked with the doctor of the Lu State very decently. He was old and wealthy, and when Confucius heard about it, he also praised 'the Son of Heaven lost his official position and learned in Siyi', and from then on he took Tan Wengong as his teacher......"

Speaking of the Duke Wen, who made the people of Tan Guo proud, Tan Zihong's nervousness due to the sudden change was completely calmed, and then he also introduced to Zhao Wuxian the "bird famous official" system that has been circulating in Tan since the Shaohao era and still exists.

"In the past, when the Yellow Emperor was ordained, there was auspicious clouds, so he used the cloud chronicle and the cloud as a famous official; For the same reason, Emperor Yan chronicles with fire and is famous with fire; Gonggong's chronicle with water, with water officials; Taihao is a dragon chronicle, and a dragon is a famous official; When Shaohao ascended the throne, the phoenix bird was suitable, so he took the bird chronicle and the bird name official ......"

"Among them, the phoenix bird is the calendar, and the calendar is in charge; Xuanniao's palm spring equinox, autumn equinox; Bo Zhao's Zhangxia clan is Situ, and he is in charge of education; The dove is Sima and is in charge of the legal system; The cormorant is the commonplace and is in charge of the project; The Shuang Gu clan is the Si Kou, and the main punishment is ......"

When it comes to the ancient history of the surname Ying, Zhao Wuxian listened to it with relish. Taihao and Shaohao are the two major groups in the East in ancient times, Taihao is the ancestor of the surname Feng, and Shaohao is the ancestor of the surname Ying, the two sides are probably bounded by Mount Tai, the center of the country of Shaohao is in Qufu, and it is also the birthplace of civilization at that time. It's a pity that Boyi was defeated by Xia Qi at the turn of Yu Xia, and the surname Ying retreated to the east. In the Yin Shang period, because the tribe with the surname Ying was also related by blood, the surname Ying once re-emerged, and after the later Zhou Gong's Eastern Expedition, it was completely decayed, and the state of Qufu perished, and the rest of the small states could only survive and breathe in the border places. But the official positions and histories retained by these small states are rare memories of the surname Ying, such as the ancestors of the Zhao family, who served as the Xuanniao clan in the country of Shaohao, and even derived Yin Shang, which gave rise to the legend of the Xuanniao falling eggs......

"Under the cormorant dove, five pheasants were set up according to the five directions, which were also five workers, in charge of five kinds of technicians: the east is called the pheasant, and he is in charge of pottery; In the south, he is called Zhai Pheasant and is in charge of metallurgy; In the West, it is called a pheasant, and it is in charge of carpentry; In the north, it is called Xi Pheasant, who is in charge of leather; The central one is called the pheasant, which is in charge of weaving and printing and dyeing. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Wuxian patted his knees and laughed: "Speaking of which, I also named the five building ships of the Langya Sailor after the five pheasants, but unfortunately they were defeated by the Wu Guoqi National Boat Division a few months ago and sank in the bay." ”

"Uh." Seeing that Zhao Hou revealed his defeat, Tan Zihong didn't know how to answer.

Zhao Wuxian didn't seem to care much about the five ships, but said meaningfully: "Although the Zhao army on the sea is not able to compete with the Wu people, on land, Fucha has been completely surrounded. Tan Jun didn't know it yet, thanks to Jun getting out of the way, the partial division that borrowed the road from Tan State had just destroyed the stubborn Pi State and cut off the only way for the Wu army to evacuate......"

"What!" Hearing this, Tan Zihong, who was already extremely relaxed, was shocked in his heart, Pi State is a small state in the south of Tan State, and its land, population, and soldiers are almost twice that of Tan State, and he has only been captive for a few days, and the Zhao army has already destroyed Pi State?

Thinking of this, Tan Zihong couldn't help but tremble again, and suddenly realized that he and the "distant relative" in front of him were completely two levels, he was the overlord of the Central Plains, but he was a small state, Zhao Hou only needed to move his fingers, and the thousands of years of social power in the Tan Kingdom would be destroyed in an instant!

The story of Jin Xiangong's fake Yu Fa Yu lingered in his mind......

However, Zhao Wuxian was sincerely afraid of getting up, Tan Zihong pressed back on the couch and said to him: "Shaohao is the ancestor of the surname Ying, and his descendants are all over the world, each with his feudal country as his clan, including the State of Xiang, the State of Xu, the State of Tan, the Kingdom of Luoli, the Kingdom of Qiu, the State of Liang, the State of Huang, the State of Jiang, the Kingdom of Xiuyu, the Kingdom of Bai Ming, and the State of Qin...... Although it is not as good as Ji and Jiang, it is also very prosperous. ”

"But now?" Zhao Wuxian said as if regretfully: "Time has passed, and Zhu Ying has been destroyed by different surnames, and now only Zhao, Qin and Tan are left. ”

Tan Zihong hurriedly flattered: "Zhao Hou established the country in Jizhou, which is really a feat of reviving the surname Ying. ”

"Not bad." Zhao Wuxian said with a smile: "Although Ying's surname is old, his life is new. Fang Ji Jiang is about to decline today, and at the time of the revival of my surname Ying, Zhao Qintan should share weal and woe. ”

He didn't care whether Tan Zihong agreed or not, and directly announced: "The Qin State is already a small sect of the Zhao State, so don't care about it for the time being." In the past, Tan Guo was sideways between the strong and strong, and it was very difficult to stabilize the country, and sometimes he had to succumb to others in order to protect himself, so he had to be a vassal of Wu for many years. But from now on, with the protection of the Zhao State, Tan Jun doesn't have to grovel to the barbarian who broke his tattoo! ”

In such a daze, Tan Zihong signed an alliance with Zhao Wuxian in this tent: Tan State will secede from Wu, and from now on, as a vassal state of Zhao, it will be protected by Zhao, and at the same time, in this war, Tan State will be open to the Zhao army, and the Tan people will do their best to assist the Zhao army to defeat Wu!

After the seal of his monarch was heavily pressed on the covenant, Tan Zihong was invited out of the big tent to rest in the camp prepared for him. Zhao Wuxian refused to let him return to China for the time being, but asked him to explain the ancient rites retained by Tan State to the ceremonial officials of Zhao State in detail, so as to prepare for Zhao Guo's future combination of Zhou rites and Shaohao ancient rites.

Tan Zihong walked out in a daze, facing the sun, and only then did he sober up a little. Everything in the past few days still seems to be in a dream, but one thing is certain, that is, the fate of Tan Guo has been taken from Wu by Zhao Wuxian, and Tan Zihong does not know whether this is a blessing or a curse......

……

After Tan Zihong left, Zhao Wuxian also unloaded the affinity in front of him, and sneered at Zixia next to him: "Fucha really thinks that Lone is like him, he is a fool who will be confused by the false name of a hundred prisons, the king of Xuzhou, it seems to be tempting, but in fact, he wants to roast the widow on the fire!" ”(~^~)
