Chapter 1115: Slaughtering the World and Splitting Mountains and Rivers (Part II)
"Zichuan country, north at least the sea, south to Macheng Pass, west to Jishui, east to Gushui, with Linzi as the capital (roughly equivalent to the Western Han Dynasty Zichuan country, Qi County, Qiancheng County), Gao Wupi is the secretary, Gongzi Mao is Zichuan Bo. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Jiaoxi country, north at least the sea, south to Qiguo, west to Gushui, east to Jiaolai River, with Shao Dian as the capital (roughly equivalent to Beihai County in the Western Han Dynasty), the national book is the secretary, and the son chapter is Jiaoxibo."
"Finally, there is the country of Jiaodong, the east and north are the sea, the west is the Jiaolai River, the south is Jimo, and Laicheng is the capital, (roughly equivalent to half of the Donglai County and Jiaodong County of the Western Han Dynasty), and Hanhu is the ...... of Jiaodong."
Zhao Wuxian put down his pen, pointed to Shandong on the map, which was divided into three pieces, and said to Zhang Mengtan: "From now on, the name of Qi will no longer exist in the world, and it will be replaced by three new kingdoms. Although Zichuan and Jiaoxi are the sons of Qi as the monarchs, in fact, the real power will be held by the country and Gao, plus the Jiaodong Kingdom of the Han family, it can be said that the 'three families are divided'. Meng talked about your strategy, it was really clever to the extreme. ”
Zhang Mengtan is no longer the white-faced scholar of the year, but a beautiful beard, his beard is extremely well maintained, he trembled slightly when he spoke, and was praised by Zhao Wuxian, he suddenly said humbly: "This is not the work of his subordinates, it is actually the authority of the king, if it is not for the Nine Lives Hou Bo, how can he divide the territory of other countries at will." ”
Now, the state of Qi has cut two counties and two counties to Zhao and Yan, and the territory is only three-fifths left, and then divided into three. Moreover, there must be contradictions between the monarch and the secretary within Zichuan and Jiaoxi, and the Han family is an outsider, the local Qi people and Laiyi will inevitably be dissatisfied, and it is difficult for the two countries surnamed Jiaodong and Jiang to unite. In the next ten or even twenty years, just rectifying internal affairs was enough to keep the three busy, and they could no longer pose a threat to Zhao State.
Zhao Wuxian tilted his head and deliberately tested the school Zixia and said: "Zixia, Meng talks about this strategy is killing three birds with one stone, dividing the power of Qi is one bird, what are the other two benefits, you may be able to say it?" ”
Zixia was also impressed by Zhang Mengtan's clever plan, and after a little thought, he said: "Second, let Yan Hou watch from the sidelines, and use Qi Guo's three points to deter Yan Guo." ”
"The third is to let the Han family leave Hewai and Yiluo, and can only take the clansmen and personal guards to Jiaodong to build a country, and the king can collect his territory and get his people."
"Not bad." Zhao Wuxian said: "The widow is planning to set up a new county outside the river and Yiluo, Sanchuan County!" The governance is the city of Qiu, as the southwest barrier of the Zhao State, to the west to monitor the Qin State, to the south to approach the Chu State, to isolate the communication between the two countries, you have been by the widow's side for several years, and it is time to be released as an official, are you willing to be a county commander? ”
Zixia knew that this was the only way for the officials of the Zhao family to be promoted, and as the so-called "Zai Fu was sent to the state department", he naturally agreed, saying that he would do his best and would not embarrass Zhao Hou.
Zhang Mengtan also smiled and encouraged Zixia, he was very optimistic about this studious and motivated young man, and when he saw him, it was as if he saw himself back then.
When he was about to leave, Zhao Wuxian still had one more thing to discuss with him.
"Meng Tan, now that the Qi country is divided into three parts, in this way, is the existence of the defense country a little redundant!?"
……
On the second day of the meeting of the Yellow Pond, following the division of the Qi kingdom into three, there were three new kingdoms in the world. The princes were truly dumbfounded, but this was not the end, when the alliance entered the third day, the princes were faced with an even more dazzling demarcation of territory.
Zhao Hou first announced that the Ju State and the Pi State would resist the Heavenly Soldiers, and the country would be eliminated! Its land will also be annexed by the state of Zhao.
Since the two countries had been occupied by the Zhao army for more than two years, and there was no successor after the death of the king, this article passed without hindrance.
Wu Dazai Bo Yao also lost no time in coming up, saying that Wu was willing to officially give up Huaibei and cede Xu, Zhongwu, Zhongliyi, Shandaoyi and other places to Zhao.
Although Huaibei has long been controlled by Zhao State, but Bo Ya's sycophant is not wrong, Zhao Wuxian said that as long as Wu State does not invade Zhongxia again, Zhao State will not rashly crusade, as for the dispute between Wu and Yue, Zhao State will not intervene.
In this way, a large area of land on the southeast coast was included in the Zhao State, and the princes saw the wanton annexation of the Marquis of Zhao, anxious in their hearts, but helpless. After Duke Wen of Jin became the overlord, didn't he also arbitrarily divide the land between Lu, Wei, and Cao? Not to mention that the current Zhao Guojun is several times more powerful than Qi Huan and Jinwen.
However, more heavy news is behind, in the middle of the alliance, Wei Hou suddenly came up tremblingly, saying that he was shallow in virtue and could not govern the people, and now he is willing to dedicate all twenty cities of land to defend the country, and ask Zhao Hou not to dislike hard work and govern on his behalf......
The news is tantamount to throwing a large stone in a quiet pond that startles a thousand waves.
Weiguo is not a small barbarian state such as Ju and Pi, but an Oriental Boss who was personally ordained by the Son of Heaven six hundred years ago! Although the country is now in decline, it has always occupied the position of a political power in all the league meetings.
Now, the defense of the country is also on the verge of extinction?
Liu Gong and Zheng Bo opened their mouths, intending to stop them, but they found that they were powerless. Because Weiguo was already a puppet of Zhao State five years ago, Zhao Yi was in power for Weiguo, and he was almost good at defending power. Weiguo has always existed as a buffer between Zhao and Qi, and since Qi has been divided into three parts, then Weiguo, the puppet of the buffer, is dispensable.
Under the persecution of the Zhao family, Wei Hou was forced to act in this play, and his rhetoric was the same as when the Zhao family replaced the Jin state before. Zhao Wuxian is not humble, and readily accepted it after resigning his thanks three times, as a result, Zhao officially annexed Weiguo, Weihou left Puyang, retained the identity of princes to live in Chuqiu, and the officials of Zhao State have also prepared official seals, just waiting to go to Weidi to take office!
At this point, the entire East was almost connected by the Zhao State.
"No one dares to openly oppose the matter of swallowing the guard." Zhang Mengtan observed the expressions of the princes at the banquet, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that no one got up to shout, but he had another question in his heart, that is, how did Zhao Hou deal with Weidi, which was accepted as a county? Or continue to let Zhao Yi rule, as his territory?
In addition to Weiguo, Ju and Huaibei are all enclaves far away from the ruling center of Zhao, and if counties are directly established, even if Zhang Mengtan is allowed to manage it himself, he is not confident that he will be governed well in the short term, and if it is not handled properly, these areas may continue to rebel.
Of course, what he wanted to know most was what Zhao Wuxian planned to do to Lu State, annexation? Maintain the status quo? Managed to divide it among the eldest sons?
But he didn't make this worry clear, for the way of the minister, he had to worry about everything, but he couldn't cover everything, and he had to leave room for the monarch to play. And Zhang Mengtan knew that Zhao Wuxian had his own set of distribution plans in his heart.
Sure enough, Zhao Wuxian saw Zhang Mengtan's hidden worries, so he said to him: "This alliance meeting is only about the division of territories between countries, and as for how to govern the local areas within Zhao State, that is a matter to be discussed later." ”
Then he laughed at himself again: "Confucius once commented on the two overlords, saying that Qi Huan is fair but not righteous, and Jin Wen is fair but not righteous, what about me?" In the eyes of the princes, they are probably insatiable. ”
However, this world is no longer a gentle and elegant era of etiquette and music, only the greed for territory can create an unprecedented great country, so that the Central Plains is infinitely close to unification!
After the territory was almost divided, Zhao Wuxian took the old and new princes to hold a bloody ceremony on the altar of the Huangchi Society, establishing a new Chinese order, an order that respects the Zhao State!
……
The Zhou rite stipulates: "Whoever makes an alliance to kill an animal and shed blood, and swears an oath to the gods, if there is a disobedience, and wants to make the gods blame, so that such animals will also be killed", and the blood is to carry the blood of livestock in the mouth, so as to show that if you break the contract and betray your allies, you will be punished by the gods and ordered to be such a sacrifice.
As the leader of the alliance, Zhao Wuxian was naturally the one who held the bull's ear, and read the oath and said: "The Fanzi Alliance is all serving the royal family, obeying the laws of the Zhao State, and not attacking each other." Those who betray the alliance will be killed by the gods; Disaster to children and grandchildren, death is extinct! ”
The princes also ascended the throne in turn, well-dressed, and ring-heavy, listening to this alliance at this moment, Song Gongzishang, who was an iron-clad ally of Zhao State, first bowed down at the signal of his mother Nanzi, and said loudly in a childish voice: "The order of the uncle, the boy dares not to accept it!" ”
It was followed by Yan State, Lu State, Zhongshan State, Chen State, Cai State, Jiaodong, Zichuan, Jiaoxi, Tan State, etc.
Uncle Qin, Uncle Zheng and others faintly felt that this oath was wrong, but at this moment, Zhao Bing would surround the altar of the alliance, if they did not obey, they would be imprisoned at best, and at worst they would hurt their lives, they thought about it, but they still endured it, and followed the three shouts: "The order of the uncle, we dare not respect it!" And then they broke their blood into faith.
Up and down the steps, the courtiers and warriors of the Zhao State who were standing knelt down together, and the mountain shouted: "The life of the lord is as heavy as Mount Tai. ”
The entire Yellow Pond echoed in this echo, the corners of Zhao Wuxian's mouth were stained with red ox blood, he stood at the top of the world, raised his hand high, and said loudly: "No mercy and no talent, I am willing to join hands with all the princes to defeat the Central Plains, recast the order of China, follow the rule of Huan Wen, and open the peace of all generations!" ”
That night, Zhao Wuxian feasted the princes again, but the Son of Heaven was absent again on the grounds of physical discomfort, after these few days Zhao State in the name of the lord, the conquest of the territory of the wanton annexation, the king of Zhou must have greatly regretted that Zhao Wuxian easily let Zhao Wuxian get the position of overlord.
On the spacious Ming Hall, the wine and delicacies made by Zhao Guoyong are full of tables, dance music is played in the hall, and the princes eat without a mouthful, although they are all delicacies, because they have something in their hearts, they all taste the same as chewing wax. is the only one who is in good spirits on happy occasions, and he is rarely greedy for cups on weekdays, but he actually drinks half a bucket of rice wine......
The degree of rice wine is not high, and it is similar to the beer of later generations, but if you drink too much, you will get drunk one bite after another.
Zhao Wuxian was drunk, this was the first time in his life that he was so drunk.
Half of his "great ambition" has already succeeded, and although it is said that those who have traveled a hundred miles are half ninety, it is understandable that there is a little relaxation and rest on the way. A man's dream, wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties, Zhao Wuxian is no exception, after all, he is a mortal, he will be proud, he will be proud, this mood is brewed with rice wine, and it officially broke out when the banquet entered the climax.
The musician's fingers brushed over the strings, and the whole feast was filled with sweet rhythms, but Zhao Wuxian waved his hand to make them stop, and waved his hand again, dispersing all the dancing palace maids.
Suddenly, the noisy hall fell silent, and everyone looked at Zhao Hou tremblingly, wondering what he was going to say or do.
Zhao Wuxian held the rhino horn cup, glanced at the people in the hall, and said: "Today's beautiful night is not without wine, nor without fun, but how can ordinary dance and music be worthy of this alliance?" Therefore, the widow wants to watch the dance and music of the princes, but what? ”
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked.
Dance music is not the exclusive domain of dancers, in this era, all aristocratic gentlemen, poetry, music, and dance are compulsory courses, and it is the norm for the overlord to let the princes who come to the court dance and chant poems for themselves. When the Duke of Jin Ping succeeded to the throne, the Marquis of Jin and the princes feasted in Wendi, and Xun Yan, the ruling ruler of the Jin State, made the princes dance, and also stipulated: "Songs and poems must be classified." "The poems sung should be matched with the dances to see if the princes are convinced.
Today, Zhao Wuxian is the Nine Lives Hou Uncle, so it is not too much to ask for it.
But the princes looked at each other, and no one stood up for a long time.
Since they didn't take the initiative, Zhao Wuxian, who was in a state of drunkenness, directly named him.
"Uncle Qin!"
I don't know if it's deliberate, or just casually, Zhao Wuxian, whose face was slightly red, pointed to Qin Bopan, who was relatively high in the ranking, and had not been stained with wine, and said loudly: "The widow has heard Qin Bo's good news, and the Qin people's reins are a must, today's feast, please beat the reins for the widow!" ”
