PS: I made a mistake again, the envoy of the Wu State who appeared once in the previous chapter was changed to Qu Wuji, forgive me......

At the end of June, when Qu Wuji was about to leave Xu Di and Zhong Wu with Zhuan Boyu, Yan Yan and others in the envoy group, Ji Za could only send him off from afar.

Under the mediation of Ji Za, the turmoil caused by the lack of green and yellow has subsided, and in a few days, he will return to Yanling. What's more, he is too old to travel far, and Xu Di is the farthest end he can go.

Forty years ago, he was hired by Lu, please watch Zhou Le, listen to the ode to Shang, Zhou, and Lu, as well as the elegance and the style of the Sixteen Kingdoms. When he passed through the Xu Kingdom, for the sake of unspoken faith, he hung the sword of Wuzhong on the pine and cypress next to the tomb of Xu Zi, which was also passed down as a beautiful talk.

When he passed Zheng Guo, he saw Zi Chan, who was in the prime of life, and the two hit it off at first sight, and Ji Za predicted that Zi Chan would rule Zheng Guo and create a middle power. When he passed Qi, he also befriended Yan Zi and suggested that Yan Zi take the initiative to hand over the fiefdom and power, and it was precisely because of the lack of government that Yan Zi was spared the difficulties of Luan and Gao and was not poisoned by Chen Wuyu.

As for when he was in the right place, he traveled with his uncle, and especially admired Zhao Wenzi, Han Xuanzi, and Wei Xianzi.

Ji Za recalled his friendship with these people, now they have all died, people are dead, the Jin State Sheep Tongue Clan has been destroyed, and the Liuqing dictatorship does not know when it will start. Without Yanzi in the Qi Kingdom, the authority will fall into the hands of the Chen family. On Zheng Guo's side, Uncle Zi, the heir to the child's property, also died, and the narrow-minded Si Xiao was in power, and it is said that he was recently embarrassing the famous Deng Xi.

"The world in the next few decades will be a season of decay of etiquette and music......"

From the good times to the bad times, Jiza is full of pessimism. His nephew, King Wu, was not interested in the education of etiquette, he was cruel and wanted to fight for hegemony, but he did not practice virtue. I just know how to fight. As Shen Baoxu said, such a state of Wu is like a snake and a giant bi, even if it dominates and eats the world, if it does not have its own civilization and culture, how long can the hegemony last?

He began to try to recall what he had told Shu Xiang before leaving the Jin Kingdom, what had he said?

"That's right. Before I left the Jin Kingdom, I said to the sheep's tongue, Uncle Xiang, you have to spare your life! The monarch of the Jin State is extravagant and mediocre and there are many good ministers, the Qing clan is powerful, and the future power is probably going to fall into the hands of the three families of Zhao, Wei and Han. ”

Now the farewell words he gave to Yan Yan have lost his previous worries about the country and the people and prophecy. It's a simple chatter.

"Yan, China's food and clothing are different from Wu Yue Huaiyi, you may have been used to wearing high crown belts, shoes and clothes, and learned to speak fluently Cheng Zhou Yayin, but the spleen and stomach are still Wu people. Eat more fish soup and rice clams these days, after crossing Huaisi, you can't eat it if you want to! ”

Looking at Yan Yan to the north. Ji Za seemed to see himself back then.

This is the urgent desire of some Dr. Wu Guoshi to naturalize the parent "China", but in the eyes of the Central Plains. They are already barbarians.

……

At the same time, Wuxian also left Yuncheng and went south to Taoqiu.

There are two roads from the west of Lu to Taoqiu, one is the waterway, out of the water gate of Yuncheng, and get on the boat from the small port. Heading south along the West Bank of Ohno Jersey, entering Jisui at Juye-eup, and heading upstream, it only takes two or three days to arrive.

Waterways are the best, but not safe.

After the beginning of spring this year. Zhang Mengtan was asked to take charge of Yuncheng and recruit Nozawa homeless people, hoping to solve the problem of theft with economic problems and reduce the scope of activities of the thieves. Although a lot of success has been achieved, the number of refuge has reached as many as 2,000, with the cooperation of overseas Chinese mathematics students and construction craftsmen, some pavilions and outposts along the lake, rammed earth beacons several feet high have also been erected on the west bank of the lake, indicating Zhao Wuxian's rule here, and the local people in Tingxiang are often recruited for anti-theft training, so that the robbers can only come and go.

But this only made the thieves dare not send people to plunder the newly reclaimed land on the west bank after suffering a few times, and turned their targets to the cities on the south and east banks of the lake.

On the other hand, Zhao Wuxian did not dare to take a boat into the lake too deep. As the local saying goes, landlubbers learn to swim, and they should not compare themselves to water hoofs. Although the boat master of Yuncheng already knew a little about the nature of the water and practiced the method of boat warfare day and night, you must know that Cao Cao in later generations also trained sailors in Jingzhou for half a year before fighting the Battle of Chibi, and everyone knew that when he touched the Dongwu Navy, he even lost his old bottom.

After the success of the strategy to separate the Ji clan and the Meng clan last time, Zhao Wuxian no longer needed to raise Kou to be troubled, although he wanted to completely eradicate the thieves, but he was temporarily powerless.

Therefore, the division of official and bandit forces is drawn within one mile of the lakeshore, and he can only take three or four hundred elite soldiers to travel by land this time, and the elegant thing of entering the lake to watch the blue waves can only wait for next year.

The reason why Wuxian took so many people on the trip was because the area south of Pushui and west of Onozawa and Jishui theoretically belonged to the country. Now Wei Guo is just reluctant to obey the Jin, I don't know when he will defect, Wu Xi in the Song State and Wei Hou's male favorite son, and then attacked Zhen Cheng, he can not guarantee whether Wei Ren will risk the world's disapproval to attack him.

This area they pass through is called the land of Punan, Pushui, Jishui flows through, Lei Ze, Lishan live in the middle. Among them, there are several towns such as Shengdou, Chengqiu, etc., also known as "the field of Jixi", in history, because Jin Wengong disliked the defense of the country from Chu, it was once assigned to the Lu country, and then more than 100 years of changes, and now it has become the territory of the defense country.

The last time I walked day and night, I avoided the ears and eyes of these Weiyi and achieved the purpose of attacking Zhencheng. A year has passed in the blink of an eye, and he and his subordinates are no longer terrified exiles, they have established a firm foothold in the country of Lu. Now the return to the hometown group has returned, but it is a banner waving, swaggering to take the right path, the knights all hold their heads high, and everyone who holds spears and halberds is proud.

When passing by, Zhao Wuxian also followed the old rules and asked people to draw all the road maps in this area, and pointed to Chengqiuyi in the distance and said to the accompanying cronies: "Zigong's merchants have spread all over the northern countries, especially the land of Punan, which is even more pervasive. In addition, there are some shadows cultivated locally in Zhencheng, who have concealed their identities with Weiguo accents, and have blended into these small towns, spying and reporting news at any time. ”

"Is Si Kou trying to defend the land of Punan?" Kan Zhi asked in a low voice.

Zhang Meng talked about governing Sanyi, and Ran Qiu, Gongxichi and others were upright and unscrupulous. Therefore, when it comes to conspiracy, Wuxian is more likely to consult with his intelligent peers, and often get good feedback.

"If Wei Hou is bent on staying in the Jin League, I naturally can't move him, if he rebels into the Qi League, then the Lu State, as an ally of the Jin State, will naturally have to raise a division to crusade, and Sanyi is located in the west to bear the brunt, so what can I say?"

This was said in a high-sounding manner, but Kan Zhi just chuckled and said: "Stealing the door is called cutting, as the so-called name is not right, it is not good, and if it is not good, it will not be done, Confucius's words seem to have been used by Si Kou." ”

Wuxian's face froze, but he just smiled and looked up at the silky autumn clouds in the sky.

Kan Zhi's point makes Wuxian a little disliked, his temperament is to be proud of his talents, and he can't help but say something in his stomach to show his ability, how good is it to see through it and not say it? The monarchs and ministers can continue to talk and laugh with each other, which is where he is not as good as Zhang Meng.

Wuxian still has room for people, but after broadening his power and territory, it is good to find a thousand rooms for Kan Zhi to do practical things, and sharpen his edges and corners.

……

Nearly 200 miles, they walked for four or five days, and when they arrived at Taoqiu, it was already July, late summer and cool autumn. The main purpose of this trip, the envoys of Wu State have just finished their visit to Song State and entered the border of Cao State.

Zigong went out of the city for ten miles to greet him, he was still handsome and elegant, but he had two short sagittal black beards on his lips, which made him look a lot more mature and capable. The clothes on his body are not like most businessmen who show off their wealth, wearing Song Jinlu and embroidery, covered with bright embroidery, but wearing elegant silk deep clothes with excellent fabrics, but they highlight his taste and uniqueness.

As Zhao Wuxian's subordinates became more and more numerous, and the sources became more and more extensive, every time they met, they had to introduce the people around them. Zigong politely refused Cao Bo's respect and appointment to him many times, and now he is still a white-bodied scholar, he bowed down to Wuxian, and met with Kan Zhi and others beside Wuxian.

Kan Zhi looked Zigong up and down, but he didn't see anything special about Zigong, and he felt inferior to himself as the Confucian disciples Ran Qiu, Gong Xichi and others under Wuxian, but he admired Zhang Mengtan more.

He is now one of the most valued retainers around Zhao Wuxian, and this time he had the opportunity, so he had a heart attack and wanted to compete with Zigong for the second place.

So he saw Wuxian talking to Tao Gu and the others next to him, and when he didn't look here, he saluted Zigong again: "I have heard the name of Zigong for a long time, I only hope that your talent can live up to Kan Zhi's expectations." ”

Kan Zhi raised his eyebrows after speaking, and his words were a little rushing, but Zigong was not angry, but just returned the salute lightly. When Wuxian invited him to go with the car, he whispered something to Wuxian, so that Kan Zhi behind him thought that he was accusing himself of being wrong, and he was a little disdainful in his heart.

"It's worthy of being a businessman!"

In fact, Zigong didn't take it to heart at all, what he said to Wuxian was: "Si Kou, the people from the Jin Kingdom have already been settled......

Plain and clear, nod your head in goodness.

The people who came from the Jin Kingdom naturally followed the Zhao businessmen to transport a batch of white "Cheng porcelain" and "Xia Gong porcelain" to Taoqiu's young girl Bo Mi, that is, the maid Wei who was rescued in Chengxiang that year.

Wuxi's letter did not say it explicitly, but Ji Huan saw at a glance what he had not said.

For Ji Ying's decision, Zhao Wuxian was very pleased, with Bo Qi by his side, the friendship with Wu Guoxing Qu Wuji could add a few points to the calculation.

Because if you want to calculate it, if you promise to give Bo Mi a name, he will have a substantial relationship with Wu Guoqu.

Of course, he himself also has some expectations, and the delicate girl who is like a small white flower will occasionally fall asleep. I haven't seen her for two years, I wonder if she will be like her ancestor Xia Ji, her face will not change...... (To be continued......)
