Chapter 229: The Eve of the Winter Solstice

In the ninth year of the Marquis of Jin, three days before the winter solstice, the palace of the Fan family. ◇↓頂◇↓Point◇↓Small◇↓ said,

The Fan clan began to be inherited from the time of the Tao and Tang clans, and in the Xia Dynasty it was Liu Lei's Yulong clan, in Shang it was Bo Chang Feng Wei's clan, and in the Zhou dynasty it was Tang Du's.

This family is ancient and prosperous, with a profound cultural heritage, and has been able to produce people from generation to generation. After the Jin lord Xia Meng, from Fan Wuzi, Wenzi, Xuanzi to today's Fan Ying, after a hundred years of accumulation, it is even stronger and more prosperous. Moreover, the head of the family is quite long-lived, which occupies a great advantage in the Jin Kingdom, which implements elder politics and seniority.

At this time, the hunting ground outside the palace of the Fan family has been withered and yellow, after Fan Ying returned from the song, in order to show his old age and strength, he held a winter hunt, the hunting results were quite fruitful, Fan Ying also personally shot an elk.

When Fan Ji, who stayed in the Xinjiang Mansion, came to the pavilion outside the hunting ground with a letter from the Zhao family inviting him to the banquet, Fan Ying was still wearing a military uniform and was watching the cook with copper to cut the deer with his hands behind his back.

Fan Ying was over eighty years old, tall and slender, with broad shoulders and gray hair, but after gaining the authority above ten thousand people under one person in the Jin Kingdom, his spirit became more and more hardened.

Fan Jishu looks very similar to Fan Ying, he is extremely intelligent, but he lacks Fan Ying's heroic temperament.

He said respectfully: "The boy heard that my father personally pedaled the car to shoot hunting, the weather was cold and windy, and my father was very old, so please be careful." ”

Fan Ying disagreed: "A month ago, the Fan family just made concessions and reconciliation to the Zhao family, if I don't come forward again, let everyone see that my body is still good, maybe in a few days, the rumors of my aging and dying will spread all over Xinjiang!" ”

He pointed to the cramped and skinned in the kitchen's nimble hands. The elk that had lost its horns and bones said, "Now, the Jin Kingdom is like this deer that is being slaughtered. And Liuqing is the wolf of the six-tailed Zhongshan. Although Qi and Zheng Hubao were watching from the outside, Liuqing had to be unanimous with the outside world. But if anyone shows weakness internally, it will arouse the covetousness of others. This was the case with the Zhao family a few days ago...... It's a pity that they were able to survive, Zhao Ying's life should not be extinguished, and his son Wuxian has been repeatedly unexpected. ”

Fan Jishu waited for him to finish speaking, and then offered a simple slip: "Father, this is exactly the invitation of the Zhao family, saying that it is to hold a crown ceremony for that concubine in the lower palace." Please come and watch the ceremony. ”

"Crown? If I am not mistaken, Zhao Wuxian is only fourteen or fifteen years old, younger than Ah Jia and Ah He, it seems that Zhao Meng's choice for the son of the world has been decided...... They can invite us to go, it seems that they do have a heart of reconciliation, what is the attitude of the rest of the ministers? ”

"On the Han side, Han Buxin, Han Shen, and even the small sects are going to cheer for Zhao Meng."

Fan Ying commented: "The Zhao family's Bolu is about to lose the position of the prince, although Han Buxin is still close to the Zhao family on the surface. But I don't know what I thought in my heart. Perhaps the day when the Zhao family chose the son of the world was the time when Zhao and Han became increasingly estranged...... If you guess correctly, Zhibo and Wei Yu (the word Mando) will also be close? ”

Zhisong adheres to the way of goodness like water. There is no obvious hostile relationship with the other five Qings, so naturally they will not make enemies. The Wei family has always been at odds with the Fan family, and is relatively close to the Zhi family, the Zhao family, and the Han family.

"My father is right. Only Zhongxingbo claimed to be ill and did not go to the hospital. ”

Fan Ying sneered: "This incident. On the contrary, it was the Bank of China that suffered the most, not to mention the defeat of the Bank of China. Lu Liang's group of thieves was also exterminated and scattered, and if the pheasant stealing failed, he lost a handful of corn, and he probably complained to me. ”

"Shall we go or not?"

"This crown ceremony is equivalent to the alliance of the reconciliation of the six Qings, if the Fan family still wants to be the head of the Jin Qing, someone must go, so let's stay at home, and the old man will go in person."

Fan Ji's face changed slightly: "Father, or my son, although Fan Zhao has been hostile in recent years, earlier, my son still had some friendship with Zhao Meng...... The scheming Dong An Yu is still in Xinjiang, what if he and Zhao Meng are combined, they are vicious and bold, and they blatantly attack their father when watching the ceremony? ”

"You're worried about this?"

Fan Ying glanced at Fan Ji with some dissatisfaction.

"It's good to do deceitful things", this is Fan Ying's evaluation of the deceased young son Fan Jijiao. He also likes to use a deceitful eye when he looks at others, and he previously suggested that he win over Handan and send troops to attack the Zhao clan's territory outside Taihang.

"I have made up my mind, if I can exchange the old man's dying life for the charge of the Zhao family's first rebellion, it will be worth it...... What's more, Chen Yu Xinjiang, the half-army of the Wei clan back then, wanted to help Luan Ying into chaos, and the old man dared to go alone, and he could hold the martial artist Wei Shu hostage with a copper chip, forcing him to do it anyway, what is a Zhao junior's crown Yan feast? ”

He sighed secretly in his heart, if he passed away, his son and Zhong Xingyin would not be Zhao Meng's opponents, and his grandson Ajia Ahe would not be as good as Zhao's son!

Because Fan Jia was involved in this matter, he had been moved to Chaoge by Fan Ying, and promised not to return to Xinjiang for three years, waiting for the impact of the conflict to cool down.

When beating someone, you need to retract your hand, although he reconciled with the Zhao family on the surface, Fan Ying's intention to weaken the enemy has never been put down. Nowadays, it is extremely difficult to destroy or dismember the Zhao clan during his lifetime, but it is still feasible to make some plans for the long term.

After returning to Xinjiang, Fan Ying sent people to collect all the information about the Zhao family's concubine, and he was more and more jealous of this rising Zhao Xinyang, and even exceeded his vigilance against Zhao Ying.

I have to find a way to get rid of this son, I can't let him become the head of the Zhao family smoothly! However, the Zhao family is keeping an eye on it, so it can't be done by the Fan family in person.

"Some victories depend on armor, and some victories depend on the correspondence between Yan Fang and the brochure......"

Fan Ying taught his son this way, and then asked people to prepare a slip and pen and ink, and he wanted to write a letter to a "friend's son" in the distance.

After Fan Jishu personally served the polished ink, Fan Ying's left hand held his right hand, which was somewhat habitually trembling slightly, and wrote on the blue-green brochure: "Gao Tang Chen Zi personally opened, and Fan Ying, the general of the Jin Army, bowed again......"

……

"Tomorrow is the winter solstice, and now the Qi State has invaded Lu and is stationed outside Yundi and Yangguan. The country of Lu uses a weekly calendar, with Ziyue as the first year. Once the winter solstice is over, it is the second year. Qi people guessed according to common sense. We Lu people will celebrate the New Year and will not go out of retreat. Launching a night attack at this time, the other party will definitely be caught off guard and can be broken! ”

"Night raid? Why not be a dignified teacher? ”

"Da Situ and Da Sima are joking? I am a small state, Qi is a big country, since the Cao Di polemic in the time of Zhuang Gong, and defeated the Qi army with three drums in the long spoon, if we Lu people do not use some means, how to compete with the big country? ”

Lu Guoyang Pass, night is coming. Thousands of soldiers were gathering in the open space outside the city. A tall armored general stood atop a chariot, anxiously analyzing the battle, his forehead broad, his eyebrows and eyes, and his chin with a thick beard, showing masculinity.

If Zigong was here, he would definitely find that this person's appearance was quite a bit like that of his master Kongqiu

Similar; And if Zhao Wuxian is here, he will feel it. This person's gaze and temperament are somewhat consistent with Zhao Ying, and they are all like a dormant tiger!

Most of the doctors around him, who were also wearing armor, were opposed, but they were all in vain. He became submissive, and seemed to be very afraid of him.

"Without further ado, let's lead the troops. Raiding the Qi camp, they arrived yesterday. At this time, the camp must be unstable and unstable. You can go down in one go! ”

As soon as the tiger warrior, who looked like the commander of the whole army, turned around, he did not stand in the center of the drum cart, holding the drumstick flag, but sat in the position of the emperor.

It turns out that he is only the master of this car!

Hu Shi picked up the eight bridles (pei), squinted at a middle-aged man dressed as a secretary under the car and said, "Da Situ, don't come up yet?" ”

The middle-aged gentleman known as Da Situ twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, his fists clenched, and he didn't want to go in his heart, but he could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, and after the attendant placed the short table, he obediently pedaled the car and stood in front of the drum rack - theoretically, he was the commander of this battle.

The position of the middle-aged secretary is more noble, and the tiger soldier who drives the car should only be his entourage, but anyone can see that this carriage has long been top-heavy, and the dignity is upside down!

That secretary is the secretary of Lu State, Ji Sunsi, the head of the "Three Huan", and the tiger who drives is the head of Ji Sun's family, the Yang Tiger who holds the country's orders as a courtier!

Three years ago, that is, in the fifth year of Luhou Song (Lu Dinggong), Ji Pingzi, the old head of the Ji Sun family, died. Yang Hu, a retainer with real power and ambition, took the opportunity to make a rebellion, sent troops to imprison Ji Sunsi, forced him to make a bloody alliance, and agreed to let Yang Hu take charge of the household before he could be released.

In the last year, Yang Hu went further, he leaned over the state of Lu, forced the monarch, Sanhuan, and the people of Qufu to swear an oath in Boshe, and cursed in the Qu (qu) of the five fathers, and officially took charge of the state of Lu.

Since Yanghu regards himself as Lu Xiang, he has also rushed to do all the alliances, wars and other matters, in order to seek prestige for himself at home and abroad.

In the autumn, the Marquis of Qi and Zheng Bo issued a call to the surrounding neighbors in the Wei League, inviting them to come and swear an oath to honor the Marquis of Qi as the new overlord and jointly oppose the Jin State.

However, the state of Lu has always been hostile to the state of Qi, and the two sides have fought dozens of battles in two hundred years, so they are very wary of this strong neighbor and would rather be friendly with the state of Jin. Yang Hu also led troops to respond to the call of the Jin State last year and attacked the Zheng State who betrayed the alliance, so together with Sanhuan, he naturally refused this invitation.

Therefore, in this alliance of the Marquis of Qi, Zheng, Wei, Beiyan, Ju, Di and other princes all obeyed and sent people to support the meeting, but the Lu State and the Song State did not arrive. The Marquis of Qi was furious, and after the defense of the country succumbed, he decided to first send troops to force the state of Lu, which was located in the rear of the Qi state, to submit, and then march west to compete with the Jin for hegemony.

So, Shangqing Guo Xia Valu, to Yangguan, this is why today's Yang Hu led the army to resist the enemy, and wanted to take advantage of the winter solstice day and night to attack the Qi army.

Yang Hu looked at the Lu army who was walking slowly, and thought in his heart: "Qi Hou did not send Chen Qi to lead the army, but sent a Guoxia who went into battle for the first time, and we have a few more chances of winning!" ”

The Lu army died down, and after leaving Yangguan, they divided their troops into two routes, and quietly marched north under the cover of night.

Yang Hu was good at using his troops, and he first sent some people as a front refusal, while the army followed behind. The road to the west is naturally Yang Hu and Ji Sunsi, and the road to the east is the family soldiers of the Meng Sun clan.

This night attack on Yanghu was strongly opposed by the Mengsun clan.

Now, among the three Huan of the Lu State, the two families of Ji Sun and Shusun have been transferred to power, and they are governed by courtiers, and only the head of the Mengsun family still has some prestige, so that the retainers can continue to be loyal.

After the father and head of the family, Mengsun He Ji, the emperor of the Mengsun clan, whispered, he drove to catch up with Yanghu. After a few steps, he manipulated the horse and said to Yang Hu: "Does Yangzi know that the lord of the Qi State of Valu will be the Xia Qi people?" This person is the son of Guojingzi, who became the new head of the family a few years ago and is ranked as the top secretary. ”

In this regard, Yang Hu smiled contemptuously: "Shangqing? What about Shangqing, the princes and doctors just need to take care of the sacrifices, and the political and military affairs can be handed over to our villains. ”

He came from a humble background, and his ancestors were only a branch of the Mengsun clan, although he called himself a villain, he was quite proud.

Ji Sun Si behind Yang Hu knew that he was mocking himself, but he didn't dare to speak, but Rong Youfu (shān), who had always been loyal to Ji Sun, was furious. He was holding a halberd and stared at Yang Hu's vest, just wanting to poke this chaotic thief to death with a halberd, but Ji Sunsi hurriedly stopped him.

Yang Hu is extremely capable, his henchmen are all over the country, and his own skills are also the best in the three armies. If he suddenly attacked, not only might he not be able to kill him, but it would cause Ji Sunsi to be killed himself......

Gongzhi Virgin shook his head and said: "Yangzi, I think Guoxia should not be despised because of his noble status, but because of his subordinates, they are all skilled fighters trained by the famous general Sima Sui Tho, and I have also heard that there are three quite brave warriors among them. ”

Yanghu loves talents, in order to win the reputation of replacing Sanhuan and becoming a real Lu Xiang, he has promoted many talents in China, such as Kong Qiu, etc., and some poor Chinese savages are also willing to serve him. When I heard the word warrior, I became interested and asked who they were?

Gongyi's virgin father said: "These three people are famous for their courage to fight tigers, they are Gongsun Jie, Gu Yezi, and Tian Kaijiang!" (To be continued......)
