Chapter 19 Extermination

After killing Neizai, Yi Jun ran to the harem in a chariot and drove all the concubines to a palace. He had a leather whip in his hand, and he whipped it when he saw anyone, and at the same time kept yelling: "Say! Who are you fornicating with? The concubines didn't know why at first, and they denied it one after another. Later, when the beating was so open, many people were frightened, so they cried and begged for mercy, confessing nonsense, just to avoid being beaten. Who knows, this only makes this madman even more energetic.

In the end, Yi Jun finally got tired, and his fat and short body rose and fell violently with wheezing. As soon as he imagined the scene of his woman and other handsome guys, he felt even more inferior to his sexual impotence, so he simply locked all the doors and windows of the hall and burned all these women who were considered "unclean" to death. The flames of the sky reddened half of the night sky, filling the city with an atmosphere of terror.

Obviously, the nobles of the Yi Kingdom will not sit idly by. That night, those who had escaped quickly organized their troops and took advantage of the chaos to attack the palace.

Yi Jun was eager for revenge, and only returned with a part of the light chariots and horses, and the indiscriminate killing just now caused the troops to be scattered to all corners of the city. So when the real rebels came, he had no time to organize resistance. The frightened faint monarch ran around in the palace, and in the chaos, he was bumped into by the retainers of Neizai. When the enemy saw each other, his eyes were red, and the other party raised his knife and cut off his head mercilessly.

The news of the chaos quickly spread to the capital. Nejae was dumbfounded when he heard this. Di Tu reminded him: "Such a good opportunity, should we go and 'help' this neighbor?" Only then did he react, hurriedly deployed his troops, and quickly rushed to the scene in the name of helping his "friendly neighbors" fight the rebellion and saving the people of Lebanon.

At this time, the state of Yi had neither a monarch nor an internal ruler, and it could be said that the dragons had no leader. Dig out the hand and calm it down with three moves.

First, he "angrily denounced" the rebels and intimidated the nobles. After all, in the early years of the Spring and Autumn Period, etiquette had not yet collapsed, and the act of killing the monarch would not be supported in any country. Then, the head of the eunuch who complained was shown to the public, clarifying that the cause of the unrest was a false accusation by a traitor, pretending to administer justice for the nobles. Third, he raised his father's status as the court's Situ, and emphasized his legitimate right to come here to deal with the aftermath in the name of the imperial court.

It stands to reason that the nobles of the state of Yi should support a new monarch. But they privately calculated, if the son of Yi Jun came to power, after sitting firmly, he would definitely be held accountable for the crime of killing the king, could he give good fruit to eat? As a result, the undisciplined nobles, led by the Nazai family, united and begged Jeongkook to take over the country. After all, Zheng Situ is famous, and his son has a moral halo, and it is not a good thing to be their monarch.

Digging Tu naturally couldn't ask for it, so he automatically ignored the opposition of the nobles with discipline, put on a reluctant look, and "reluctantly" became the monarch of the state of Yi.

Dong Yujun also got the news a little later. A country that was on an equal footing with him two days ago was destroyed in a blink of an eye by Zheng Guo, who seemed to have an unstable foundation. His reaction was no longer surprise, but horror. The panicked Emperor thinks that digging is revenge. After the destruction of the kingdom of Yi, he felt that the end was not far away, so he hurriedly sent someone to ask for help from his distant relative, Yu Shifu.

The merchants who did business in the kingdom of Yu quickly passed this information on to the hundreds. At this time, Zheng Guo's monarchs and ministers disagreed on their next move.

After two battles, forcing the coalition forces back and taking over the state of Yi, the morale of Zheng's army was already at its peak. The newly promoted Lord Sima strongly advocated taking advantage of the situation, and he analyzed: "The brave one who fights between the two armies wins!" Today's Dongyu Kingdom was completely frightened by our actions, and the army could be described as demoralized. This is the perfect time to take them down. Once they come to their senses and hold their ground, we won't be able to do it. ”

Lord Nezai shook his head: "Forcing back the coalition forces and taking over the country of Yi were all won by the tricks of the prince, and there was no decent hard battle. We must not forget that most of the troops in our hands now are untrained recruits, and there is no chance of winning a frontal attack on the Dongyu Kingdom. ”

"Don't miss the opportunity!" Soldiers are always meritorious.

"Opportunity always comes with risk. Father Yu Shi has a heavy army, once he promises to save the Dongyu Kingdom and suddenly attacks from behind, we will never recover. "Uchi-sama is still the usual conservative style.

"There is a point in what the two adults say." Xianzhu smiled and came up to play the round, "The current situation is indeed a good opportunity, but it is also true that there is no ability to attack. Since we were able to win the first two times, let's continue to use the trick! ”

"What's the best plan for the Hundred Chiefs?"

Xian Zhu pretended to be mysterious, lowered his voice and spoke, and everyone praised him again and again.

These were actually revealed to him in advance, hoping to make more meritorious contributions to the businessmen so as to improve their status. It is not because of how smart he is to come up with these clever plans, but because for more than 2,000 years after the Spring and Autumn Period, there are too many conspiracies such as discord and rebellion, and people who are familiar with history books will naturally come easily.

The envoy of the Eastern Kingdom had just entered the realm of Yu Shifu'er, and was marching in the sparsely populated mountain road, when he was suddenly stopped by a group of "soldiers". When the envoy saw that the other party was also carrying the banner of the word "虢", as if he had seen his relatives, he immediately identified himself. As soon as the other party heard that they were from Dongyu Kingdom, he laughed loudly: "You are the Dongyu Kingdom who sees money." ”

"How can you be rude to the envoys?"

"What about being rude?" The leading young general looked disdainful, "Our monarch said that the country that is willing to sell its land to others after receiving some money will perish sooner or later." I don't think you'll be the envoy for a few days. ”

The envoy was ashamed and annoyed, but at the moment of national crisis, he could only endure the humiliation: "My monarch really made a mistake before, which led to the current tiger trouble." That Zheng Guo has already destroyed the Yi Kingdom, and Dongyu is in danger, so he sent me to ask for help. ”

"Asking for help? Are you embarrassed? What good is it to save you? ”

"For the grace of saving my life, I will repay the country!"

"Our monarch has said a long time ago, since you are willing to cede the border land to Zheng Guo, it is better to cede the country to us, so that we can also consider taking you in."

The messenger rushed into a rage and drew his sword against him. In this Spring and Autumn era, where soldiers can be killed and cannot be humiliated, this kind of words are enough to provoke a nobleman to fight for face. It's a pity that this is exactly what the other party wants. These "soldiers" took advantage of the large number of people, beat them up, and took advantage of the chaos to take away the seal of the envoy, and before leaving, they humiliated: "Just like you, our king will not pay attention to you!" Go back and tell your king to surrender. ”

After seizing the seal letter, these people turned into envoys from the Dongyu Kingdom and swaggered to meet Yu Shi's father.

According to the judgment of the dutu, the father of Yu Shi was an extremely selfish person, which can be seen from the fact that he was betrayed by his own people in Hojing. Therefore, although he is definitely willing to disgust Zheng Guo, if he really makes a big effort to save Dong Yuguo, a distant relative, he will be reluctant. However, for the sake of insurance, the spies still worked hard to play a discordant plan.

Above the court, although the messenger said that he was asking for help, he was extremely arrogant. They deliberately spent a lot of spit to accuse Yu Shi's father, saying that his information was inaccurate, so that Yu Yi and the two countries misjudged the strength of Zheng Jun. These people also used the logic of shrews touching porcelain to ask for reinforcements, thinking that the destruction of the country and the crisis of Dongyu were all caused by this, which was naturally his fault and should be responsible. In the end, he did not take it upon himself to threaten that if he dared not to help, every citizen of Dongyu would want him to look good.

These people are so rude, the results can be imagined.

Father Yu Shi was really furious, drove the false messenger out directly, and ordered to drive out all the people of the Eastern Kingdom in the territory and cut off all contacts.

The poor true messenger, not forgetting his mission, rushed to the city with great difficulty, and fantasized about going to Father Yu Shi to complain about the rudeness of his soldiers. As a result, as soon as he reported to his home, he was beaten out with a stick by the guards who had already received the order. How did he know that if the messenger had already taken the lead, he only felt that Father Yu Shi had deceived people too much, and he had already left his anger. So, this man hated to have to eat, drink, and sleepless, and rushed all the way back to China, and told the king of Dongyu about the humiliation experience.

Dong Yujun is called angry, but what can be done? He was completely to blame, angry and crying in shame.

At this time, a favored minister who Xian Zhu bought through the spy came out: "Monarch, I don't think the reinforcements of this father of Yu Shi will come." Have you forgotten how he treated Jiao Guo, who is also surnamed Ji? If he really comes to the rescue, I'm afraid that not only will he lose his country, but even you will not be treated kindly! ”

Dong Yujun remembered what Yi Jun said during the quarrel that day, and it was really "fulfilled". At that time, he was still scolding people for talking nonsense, but now people's lives are gone. He had always thought he was shrewd, and he sighed, and sobbed softly: "What should the widow do? ”

"Surrender." Ignoring the surprised gazes of others, the favored minister continued to persuade, "As soon as Zheng Guo easily formed an army, and quickly pacified the chaos, the prince of Dutu is as unfathomable as divine help, and our army will definitely not be able to defeat it." Second, his father, Lord Situ, has always been highly respected, and he came to us to discuss the land in a friendly manner, and he should be a kind person. After all, the king of the three kingdoms has made an alliance with him, and if he breaks his oath and oppresses us, he will be punished by heaven! ”

Dong Yujun's psychological defense line collapsed, and the two mouse eyes that were originally thieves were completely lost, so he had to nod gloomily.

In this way, the diggers once again took a country without bloodshed. He also kept his oath and retained the position of Emperor of Qiu, but disarmed the armed forces of the Kingdom of Qiu. Because in that era, trustworthiness was the first element of the authority of the princes, and the Duke of Qi Huan was the one who would dominate the princes only if he did what he said about good or bad things.

A celebration banquet was once again held in the capital, and Dutu once again accepted the worship of everyone. But this time, everyone was not as excited as before, and it seemed that they had become accustomed to the way their monarch was coaxing.

While the diggers were reveling in these small successes, the war in the West was settled. The wheels of history began to roll mercilessly, drawing him into a more complex vortex.
