Chapter 317: The Turn of October (Part I)

The Tiger Club was originally also a Xinjiang light man, Jin Qing Zhao Ying was a good monk, he relied on a flying halberd within 30 steps to be selected into the ranks of the retainers, saved up a few years of qualifications, and gradually was able to serve Zhao Yingche, but it was still inconspicuous.

It wasn't until after a strong admonition of "stop the cart" on the sheep intestine saka that Zhao Ying gradually stopped treating him as a puppet. was first promoted to the two Simas of the personal guard, and many times accompanied Zhao Ying to make meritorious contributions, and then as the commander, and finally left him in Pubei and made him Zhao Wuxian's courtier.

Although the Tiger Club is very arrogant on weekdays, and has a good relationship with Tian Ben, Mu Xia and other Zhao Wuxian's old military team, they are still measured in their hearts. He knew that although he had a high rank and seniority in the Zhao army, he was still a newcomer when he arrived at Zhao Wuxian, and it was already a great favor to be promoted to Sima of Xiaqiuyi.

Unexpectedly, today Zhao Wuxian suddenly called him here, and in addition to the Tiger Club, there was only Wuxian who conspired with Meng Tan, which made him a little sincerely afraid, because the number one leader of Xiaqiu, Yi Zai Ji Qiao, was not allowed to participate in this secret talk.

"Hu Sima doesn't have to worry too much, as the saying goes, the chicken is at night, the raccoon catches mice, and if he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government. Ji Yizai is in charge of government affairs, because there is no follow-up matter, so there is no need to participate, but Hu Sima has a task related to this, so he summoned you to come, please sit down. ”

However, Zhao Wuxian saw the anxiety on Hu Hui's face as usual, so he comforted him like this.

So, in the hall of the Yi Temple in Liqiu City, under the flickering bronze lampstand, three figures sat in a vacuum, their voices were low, and they were gathering together to plan something.

"This is what Yang Hu asked Feng Rin to bring." Zhao Wuxian pushed the lacquer plate containing the slip over.

"On the fourth day of the tenth month of winter, I will worship the ancestors of Lu Guo in the temple and pray for it?" Zhang Meng, who was dressed in white and clothed, immediately rushed from Zhenyi to Xiaqiu after receiving Zhao Wuxian's news, he looked at the small words on the slip and smiled.

"Is this an invitation?" Tiger asked.

"This is not only an invitation, but also a signal to the doctor, and it is also the ......date of the Lucheng Rebellion," Zhang Mengtan's tone was categorical, and there was no doubt about it.

After hearing this, Huhui's face changed slightly, although he had some understanding of the situation of Zhao Wuxian's forces in the Lu State, he only knew about it. What's more, he is a full-time martial artist. is not good at those conspiracies and plots, and now that he knows about it, he only feels that the entire Lu country seems to be about to change!

Indeed, in recent months. Judging from all kinds of signs, the ambition of Yang Hu and others to replace Sanhuan has been revealed, and the contradictions between the two forces have gradually surfaced.

On the one hand, Sanhuan, led by the Meng family, was unwilling to be overtaken by Yanghu, and began to fight back desperately, winning over Zhao Wuxian in the hope of getting the protection of the Zhao family of the Jin Kingdom. And Yang Hu is also ready to fight against Sanhuan. Woo Zhao Wuxian to join the gang in order to seek the recognition of the established facts by the Zhao clan of the Jin State at that time.

Zhao Wuxian spread out the map and looked at the cities and roads above: "I have already asked Zihua, according to the past customs of the Lu Kingdom, on the first day of the tenth month of the winter season, according to the order of enthronement, sacrifice to the ancestors and offer food and prayers. On the second day of the first lunar month, a large-scale sacrifice was held in the Xigong Temple; On the third day of the first lunar month, there will be a ceremony to entertain the secretary of state in Pupu, and Sanhuan and many doctors will be present at that time, which can be described as the most concentrated event of the secretary of state and the doctor. ”

Zhang Mengtan pointed to the small garden Pupu near the country of Lu and said: "In this case, if Meng Tan's guess is good. Yang Hu may do it here on the third day of junior high school! ”

"It should be like this, although Yanghu has sufficient troops, he has not received the support of the countrymen, and he is a little unconfident in this operation, so he invited me to enter Lucheng to 'be a witness', if I can lead the troops, it is the best. Interestingly, Meng also asked Zifu He to send an invitation to invite me to the meeting that day. ”

After the Tiger Club was shocked, he also began to think, and he asked again: "Has Sanhuan already sensed the danger?" ”

Wu Xian said: "Judging from the correspondence between me and Zifu He. The Meng family's Sima was suspicious, but they could not determine the specific date, they were not strong enough, and they would not mobilize the countrymen at that time. Otherwise, I was at a disadvantage, so I was invited to enter Lu City, and I was specially instructed to bring soldiers. First, you can use the strong soldiers of the Zhao clan that Zifu He praised in front of the Meng family, and secondly, let Yang Hu want to throw a mouse and be afraid of weapons, and dare not act rashly. ”

Tiger Hui pinched his fingers and said, "It's late September, and it's less than a decade away from the turn of October." Gather soldiers day and night, maybe you can catch up with this grand event, so is the doctor going to go or not? ”

Zhao Wuxian raised the wine jug, poured a freshly brewed light Lu wine for everyone present, and then raised it to his nose and sniffed it.

"This is Zhen Di new rice made of thin wine, although the taste is not as good as the new Jiang millet wine, but it is a piece of the people's heart, now the new policy of the two towns has been implemented, the officials perform their duties, and the people's hearts are gradually stable. With Onozawa's bandits on our side, the unarmed clans can only choose to rely on us, so at this time, I want to take a break from Lucheng to take a fire! ”

Hu Hui said: "Before the doctor goes, the subordinate has something to ask, has the doctor already thought about who he wants to help, Sanhuanyan?" Yang Huyan? ”

In the past few months, Zhao Wuxian has only discussed with Mou Zhu Meng about anything related to this matter, and has never summoned anyone to accompany him. Now that I let myself in, a third party, I have probably made a decision to arrange the follow-up.

"It's about the defense of Yuncheng in Liaoqiu, so the ministers have to ask, and ask the doctor for forgiveness."

In this way, the true nature of the Tiger Society's strong admonition was suddenly revealed, and he seemed to be very arrogant, but in fact he was as careful as a hair. Yuncheng's uncle Sun Zhi is the party of Yanghu, if Zhao Wuxian is an enemy of Yanghu, then Xiaqiu must be careful to guard against the eastern neighbor.

"It's okay, I was supposed to inform Hu Sima."

Zhao Wuxian got up and paced the empty hall.

"Let's say to Sima Ming today, Zhang Zi has analyzed my situation in Lu State, which is similar to Chen Gongzi Wan who ran from Chen State, but Chen Wan can resign from the position of secretary granted by Duke Qi Huan, and has been dormant in the position of Gongzheng for a hundred years. It was only when Chen Wenzi and Chen Huanzi began to make trouble, and they fought a world between Guo, Gao, Erhui, Bao, Cui, and Qing. If I want to succeed in returning to the ranks, I can't wait for a few generations, and I even have to make some achievements and gain some authority and strength within three or five years! ”

Zhang Mengtan smiled and nodded: "Of course, although the Chen clan is insidious and treacherous, their approach in the Qi country is worth learning from. ”

"Indeed, I know that the biggest enemy in the next few years may be the Qi State and the Chen family on the side of the couch, so I also pay a lot of attention to the history of this clan, and I borrowed a few hand-copied volumes of Qi's "Spring and Autumn" from Confucius.

Zhang Mengtan and Tiger Hui bowed down and said: "I want to hear the details." ”

"Forty years ago, Qi Qingqing was in charge of the government, which caused dissatisfaction among the grandsons of Qi and the clans. Taking the opportunity of Qingfeng to go out hunting, Qi Huigong's two grandsons, Ziya (Gongsun Zao) and Ziwei (Gongsun Yu), prepared to launch a coup d'Γ©tat to get rid of the Qing family. ”

In this coup, the originally inconspicuous Chen Wuyu played such a role, first defecting to the Qing clan and winning their trust, but on the other hand, he secretly moved closer to the anti-Qing forces. While accompanying Qingfeng on a hunt, he lied that his mother had died, ran back to Linzi from Donglai in tears, wiped away his tears, and took the Chen family soldiers to participate in the coup d'Γ©tat, attacked and killed Qingfeng's son, and seized control of Linzi. Qingfeng hurried back to the national capital, but it was too late, so he had to go into exile in Wu. ”

"With this merit, the Chen family went from an inconspicuous clan to the ranks of powerful doctors, and obtained the Lingyi, which has developed to today's level in just forty years."

"My thoughts, Hu Sima can understand?"

The Tiger Club is not stupid, and when it comes to this, it suddenly becomes clear.

Zhao Wuxian raised the wine cup and toasted to Zhang Mengtan: "During the absence of Wu Xian, government affairs are headed by Zhang Zi, please!" "Drink it all.

Zhang Mengtan bowed again: "The subordinates and others must keep this hard-won foundation for the doctor!" ”

The wine cup that Wuxian had filled up again in his hand turned to the Tiger Club: "As for the Tiger Sima, I will immediately hand over the defense of Xiaqiu to the Deputy Sima later, and I have another important task for you to do......"

……

After this, Zhao Wuxian convened another military meeting, which was attended by military officials above the rank of commander.

"The total number of Zhen Diyi soldiers and pavilion soldiers is 1,100, and the number of Qiqiu is 1,300, plus 700 soldiers, and 100 people recruited from the homeless people, a total of 3,200 people. In this way, it is already the limit of these two euphemisms, and it is only under the fear of robbers and the Shiwu system that this level can be reached. And it can only last until the beginning of spring, and most of the levies must be disbanded and let them go back to the fields......"

This is also the reason for the cyclical and unsustainable nature of wars, which has not been well addressed by all rulers throughout history. It was not until the Warring States period that local organization and control were strengthened and the proportion of conscripts increased, and the number of fierce battles that lasted for several years became common.

"During my absence, Zhen Di will stay with 100 crossbowmen, 600 Yi soldiers, and pavilion soldiers, and Yang Tongue Rong will be fully responsible."

"Liqiu will leave 1,000 people, the core of which is still 100 crossbowmen, and most of the rest are pavilion pawns, Wu Jing and Su Shouyu are jointly responsible."

In the new policy, Zhao Wuxian thought about it, but still picked out the steady Wu Jing from the military guards and let him stay in Xiaqiu as a deputy Sima.

Crossbowmen are better at defending cities than attacking, and this mysterious class is also a deterrent to newly conquered territories. Therefore, Zhao Wuxian planned to take away only 1,500 people this time, he was the commander-in-chief, the Tiger Club was the deputy, the military pawn was the main force, and the soldiers of Liqiuyi were the auxiliary.

Three days later, when the departure was imminent, more than ten flags of different embroideries fluttered on the outskirts of Xiaqiu City, and the soldiers lined up in a phalanx to stand up the flags, and looked up at the Zhao doctor galloping in front of them.

After inspecting the circle, Zhao Wuxian said to all the military officials: "The second and third sons have all succeeded, but the most worthy of honor today is the recruit who has been trained!" ”

For a while, more than a thousand eyes were focused on the low-key Ran Qiu, as well as the recruit behind him! (To be continued.) )
