Chapter 203: Chicken Crow and Dog Thief

Soon after Wang Junkuo defected to the Tang Dynasty again, Li Mi was defeated in Beibishan, but he didn't have to worry about Li Mi's revenge, but although Li Yuan readmitted him, he was no longer as reused as before, and only gave him the title of Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and let him continue to stay in Xingtai City with his headquarters.

At this time, Wang Junkuo was really repentant.

Some subordinates persuaded Wang Junkuo that instead of being so messy in the Tang Dynasty, it was better to simply betray the Tang Dynasty and go to Wang Shichong.

At that time, Wang Shichong was vigorously taking over Li Mi's territory in the Central Plains, and Wang Junkuo had Xingtai City in hand, which should be very popular with Wang Shichong.

Wang Junkuo was suddenly a little moved, but because he didn't know what Wang Shichong's character was, and he didn't know what benefits Wang Shichong would give him, he didn't immediately take refuge in Wang Shichong.

Just when Wang Junkuo was watching, the news of Li Yin's attack on Western Qin suddenly came, and soon after, Li Yin was also worshiped as the general of Zuo Wuhou, the envoy, and the great Xingtai Shangshu of Eastern Shaanxi, and his power was unmatched for a while.

After Wang Junkuo learned the news, his mind immediately became active, since Li Yin was so powerful, he didn't know if he could pull him as an old brother.

However, some cronies said to Wang Junkuo: "Instead of asking the King of Jin to help him obtain the official position, it is better to invest in the Jin Palace, the King of Jin is so powerful, if we seize the position of the crown prince, won't we soar from now on?" ”

After Wang Junkuo listened to it, he felt that there was some truth in his cronies' words, and he was also a little tired of the days of seeking wealth and nobility everywhere at this time, thinking that it would be better to do a big vote, come to a shocking gamble, and follow Li Yin, if he can successfully seize the throne, then he will have everything?

Although Li Yin had never revealed to others his idea of seizing the throne, Wang Junkuo was very sure that Li Yin had that idea, because since the two met in Cuiyun Peak that year, Wang Junkuo already knew that Li Yin was by no means a person who was willing to be subservient......

For this purpose, Wang Junkuo appeared in front of the door of the Jin Palace.

Because he didn't pay too much attention to Wang Junkuo, Li Yin didn't know that Wang Junkuo had returned to Tang again, so after seeing him at this time, he would be extremely surprised.

Li Yin saw that Wang Junkuo looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, so he smiled and said, "Let's talk about what you want to go in, and have a few drinks." Wang Junkuo even claimed to be good.

Subsequently, everyone stepped into the Jin Palace, Li Yin and Wang Junkuo went to the living room and sat down, chatting with each other ramblingly, until it was not early, Wang Junkuo revealed to Li Yin the idea of taking refuge in him.

Li Yin was a little entangled in this, and after a deep sigh, he finally nodded and accepted Wang Junkuo's refuge.

Although Wang Junkuo has a hand in fighting, his character is undoubtedly inferior, and the reason why Li Yin accepts the refuge of people like him is also out of many considerations.

There is an idiom called "chicken and dog thief", which is exemplified by Meng Changjun Tianwen, one of the four sons of the Warring States Period.

Meng Changjun likes to recruit all kinds of talents, and is known as 3,000 customers, but many of them have no skills, so they just want to eat well.

However, once Meng Changjun was imprisoned by King Qin Zhao, and at the critical moment, he sent someone to King Qin Zhao's favorite concubine for help, but the favorite concubine said that he wanted to get Meng Weijun's white fox fur fur, so he was willing to help save people.

That white fox fur fur is worth a thousand gold, the only one in the world, but it has long been given to King Qin Zhao by Meng Changjun and hidden in the Qin Palace.

Just when Meng Weijun was worried about this matter, a doorman who mixed rice and ate stood up and said that he could steal the white fox fur fur for Meng Changjun, so he put on a dog skin that night, disguised himself as a dog and entered the palace, got into the warehouse in the palace, and took out the white fox fur, and Meng Changjun was released.

This is the origin of the "dog thief" in "Chicken Dog Thief".

After Meng Changjun was released, he immediately changed his name and surname and fled from Xianyang, and arrived at Hangu Pass in the middle of the night.

At that time, there was a rule in Hangu Pass, which must be opened and closed after the rooster crows to let the guests pass, and the chasing soldiers are almost there, at this extremely urgent juncture, there is a person who used to mix rice and eat is very good at learning to crow chickens, and his chirp, the nearby chickens also crowed together, and Hangu was opened about yes, which is the origin of "rooster crow" in "Rooster Dog Thief".

Meng Changjun relied on the rooster and dog thief to escape and save the day, which shows that even if the person who looks unbearable may have an unexpected effect at a critical time.

Wang Junkuo's character is indeed not very good, and he is not a trustworthy person, but if Li Yin wants to achieve great things, the people around him cannot all be Su Dingfang, Luo Shixin, Fang Xuanling, and other people who value benevolence, righteousness and morality very much, if there is really anything unsightly to do, it is better to let people like Wang Junkuo take action.

This is the reason why Li Yin finally accepted Wang Junkuo's refuge after thinking about it for a long time. Li Yin also knew that Wang Junkuo was a double-edged sword, and if he didn't say anything bad, he would be in danger of devouring himself, but if he didn't even have the confidence to subdue Wang Junkuo, how could he do other big things?

Moreover, Wang Junkuo is not the first person with poor character accepted by Li Yin, the earliest Zhang Liang, was not made obedient by him, and now he is obediently herding sheep for Li Yin in Yanmen Pass.

"Husband, it's time for dinner." After Wang Junkuo left the Jin Palace, Guanyin came and shouted softly to Li Yin, who was in a trance.

Li Yin nodded, stood up, walked to Guanyin's side, took her hand, and walked towards the dining hall. Guanyin's little face turned red, "Husband...... The maids are watching! ”

Li Yinhao said indifferently: "If they want to see it, let them be optimistic, what's wrong with holding a small hand between husband and wife?" ”

"This ...... This is uncourteous and not in line with the way of Confucius and Mencius......" Guanyin lowered her head shyly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Li Yinhu said suspiciously: "Kong Meng still cares about other people's husband and wife lives? ”

Guanyin said: "According to the record of "Zuo Chuan, the Thirty-third Year of the Duke of the Emperor": The envoy of the Ji Ji, passing Ji, seeing the lack of Ji Ji, his wife, respect, treat each other like a guest......"

Li Yin in recent days, in his leisure time also often read the classics, in order to improve his posture level, knowing that Guanyin said at this time, is the allusion of "respecting each other as a guest", he shrugged his shoulders and said: "Others have other people's respect for each other, our husband and wife have the hand of our husband and wife, and grow old with the son, but it doesn't matter what Confucius and Mencius do." ”

After hearing this, Guanyin nodded with a smile on her face, then raised her head generously, and walked towards the hall with Li Yin's hand holding each other's hands.
