PS: Chapter 2 is in the afternoon.,Ask for a monthly pass.

From Yongdu to Hexi, five hundred miles, a clipper and a pegasus brought the news of Qin Boxu's death to the hands of Pu, the eldest son of Dashu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After learning of this, Zipu originally wanted to keep it a secret and forced the Wei army to withdraw from Hexi and then go back. But at this time, the Qin State had not yet formulated a strict household registration and guest house inspection system by Shang Ying, and the spies of the Jin State were all over Qin, and the turmoil in Yongcheng soon reached the ears of the Zhao and Wei families.

The situation in Hexi was also not good, first Shaoliang City fell, and Zuo Shu's eldest son Hu was captured. Then Wei Manduo personally sent the people of the Wei family to Hexi in several places in Xinjiang, Quwo, and Anyi, and the Wei army forcibly crossed Puban, killing a passage, and food and reinforcements were continuously sent to Wei Ju.

In addition, the right commander urged him very urgently, which caused the strong men of the Qin army to break their wrists, give up their advantages, and withdraw their troops on all fronts.

Because after thinking about it, Zipu thought that the loss of Hexi was just a problem of elbows and armpits, and if Yongdu was chaotic, it was a disease of the heart! After all, there are several sons and grandsons who covet the throne, although the Qin State has always been a son, so they have little strength, and they used to be afraid of the power of the three chiefs and did not dare to make a mistake, but if Zipu lost the battle outside, it would be impossible to say. According to the right chief, someone has already contacted her husband and is about to move.

A country cannot be without a king! If you go outside, you must first settle inside!

Therefore, it is the practice of Lao Cheng to seek the country by withdrawing the troops first, allowing the crown prince to ascend the throne, and stabilizing the regime.

Zipu was very sorry for this result, and when he left 3,000 soldiers to garrison Dali and crossed the water with tens of thousands of residents inside and outside the city, he asked the emperor to stop his horse, got out of the car, and fell to his knees. There were countless unwillingness, reluctance, indignation, and reluctance in his eyes. The battle was not easy to fight to this day, the Qin army tried its best and inflicted heavy losses on the Wei army under the condition of great sacrifices, and at least two divisions under Wei Ju lost the ability to fight again.

At this point, no matter how much strength is needed, the Qin army may win a complete victory!

But in the end, because of various factors, they failed. Although the Qin State has not completely lost Hexi, with the withdrawal of the Qin people, as long as the Wei clan is not stupid, this fat land will change hands sooner or later.

"I'll be back!" Looking at Hexi, Zipu made a heavy oath, "In his lifetime, Zipu will return to the business of Mu Gong and drink the horse river again, otherwise, he will be beheaded and his bones will be scattered!" ā€

……

Hearing the news of Uncle Qin's death, the one who was most happy about it was probably Wei Ju.

Originally, he was cut off by the Qin people's "battle of rafting" and trapped in Hexi, and Wei Ju was also worried that he would bury all the elites of the Wei clan here. Fortunately, luck was on their side, and as the Qin army switched from offensive to defensive, Wei not only lifted the predicament, but also had more ideas.

"Take Hexi and revitalize the Wei family, in this move!"

In the nine cities of Hexi, Shaoliang fell to the Zhao family, the Fu family and Wang Guan were occupied by the Wei army, and there were still Rui, Xincheng, Beizheng, Peng Ya, Wang, and Mi in the hands of the Qin army guards left by Zipu.

According to Wei Ju's idea, he had to make persistent efforts to take down the two cities of Dali and Rui, and then join forces with Zhao Jun along the Luoshui line, thus sweeping Hexi.

If this can be done, the Wei clan will reach eighty years later, and Wei Wenhou will send Wu Qi to take Hexi and comprehensively suppress the situation of Qin. They will jump out of the corner of the east of the river, have depth, increase the population and land, and also jump out of the Zhao family's restrictions on them, and can develop freely.

However, just when Wei Ju excitedly informed Shaoliang's Zhao Wuxian of this plan, hoping that they would work for Wei again for nothing, Zhao Wuxian replied to him, which made Wei Manduo, Wei Ju and his son stunned, but they couldn't refute it.

"Gentlemen are not mourned!"

……

"The poem says: Don't hang Haotian, chaos is determined, the princes hand over the army, and they have to do it as a last resort, and they stop when they hear the funeral, so the gift of the summer, do not cut down the state of mourning!"

Wei Ju looked at Zhao Wuxian's high-sounding letter and was furious, crumpled it into a ball and threw it to the ground, and said with a sneer: "This tone is really worthy of being the secretary of the Jin Kingdom!" ā€

Zhao's messenger Chu Long smiled and said: "Yes, it is precisely because he is the secretary of the Jin State, the lord represents not only himself, but also the Zhao family, as well as the Jin State, so he will pay special attention to this, the Zhao family also has difficulties, and I hope that the gentleman will understand, Shaoliang has been pulled, as long as the gentleman says a word, the Zhao family can offer the ...... with both hands at any time."

Wei Ju's anger was suddenly choked by these seamless words.

In ancient times, the Xia states fought against each other, and when they learned of the death of the enemy king or the occurrence of a serious disaster in the country, they generally did not take advantage of the fire to loot and express a little mourning. One of the murderous rites of the Western Friday Prayer is to mourn, condole, and help others for all kinds of unfortunate events in other countries or other countries. Later, not only the Central Plains, but also the vassal states of the barbarian land gradually accepted this rule. For example, the king of Chu Gong attacked Chen, that is, "stopped when he heard Chen's funeral".

For example, when the king of Chu died (558 B.C.), Wu ignored the practice of "etiquette and not mourning", and even raised an army to attack Chu. The gentlemen of the Northern Central Plains thought that this behavior of Wu was immoral, and the Jin State also criticized it when convening the alliance meeting, and at the same time believed that the reason why Wu sent troops was unfavorable was precisely because Haotian was also angry at this behavior.

But the warm classical era has quietly passed, especially after the war between Wu Shi into Chu and the Six Secretaries of the Jin State, the original international order completely collapsed, and strange phenomena emerged one after another: Zhao's father and son were one country and two secretaries, Cao Guo expelled the monarch and abolished the monarchy, and the Song State was the one and the other in the Song Dynasty, and religion jumped above the regime......

If you really want to count it, the most serious damage to the order of the Spring and Autumn Festival of etiquette and music is precisely the Zhao regime, within them, the official school that originally only taught the children of Gongsun Qing's doctor has completely degenerated into a private school with no class, and the veteran soldiers can be ranked with the clan retainers after their meritorious service, and the merchants and hundreds of workers who have contributed to the Zhao family can also appear in the temple in a grand manner and become doctors.

Therefore, the Zhao family was criticized the most by Confucius, who was self-denying and repentant, but such a regime that took pleasure in destroying the old system and establishing its own new order suddenly paid attention to "etiquette and not mourning" today, do you dare to believe it?

Anyway, Wei didn't believe it at all.

"Obviously, you should take advantage of the chaos to insult you, but God doesn't take it, but you will be blamed!"

After Chu Long went down, Wei Ju gritted his teeth with hatred, and smashed several cases and candle stands one after another, and the Zhao family clearly didn't want to continue to fight for their family. But he can't say that the Zhao family is not, first of all, the covenant said that when attacking Hexi, Wei was the main force, Zhao Han was the assistant, and the Zhao family helped them to lay the most difficult Shaoliang City, and was willing to hand it over to the Wei family, the task has been completed, and there is no problem for the Zhao army to return home.

In addition, Zhao Wuxian has something to say: Zhao is the secretary of a great country and the main ally of Zhuxia, if he does something to take advantage of the funeral, how can he be a model for the princes? Not only that, but he also has to put on mourning clothes, cry a few times for the decline of the Qin State, and go to the west! Because of the ritual system, all the funerals of the princes, those with different surnames cry outside the city, those with the same surname cry and hang in the temple, those of the same clan cry and hang in the ancestral temple, and those of the same clan cry and hang in your temple.

Counting up, the Zhao family and the Qin family belong to the same sect and have an ancestor, in addition to the remote sacrifice, the Zhao family also has to send envoys to the Shaohao Temple, Boyi Temple, and Feilian Temple of the Qin State to cry and mourn!

Relatives, when people encounter funerals, I really can't pull my face to hit the door!

So just as the main force of the Qin army retreated westward, Zhao Wuxian sent an envoy to Yongdu to offer condolences, and at the same time discussed with the Qin State about redeeming their left chief.

In this regard, Wei Manduo and Wei Ju could only secretly scold Zhao Wuxian a few times, but they could not openly oppose his approach, the father and son found that after beating the Qin State, they were already in a dilemma, the front was the difficult Qin people, and the back was the "teammates" who accompanied themselves to stab the hornet's nest and retreated, dealing with the Qin State alone, if they were enemies with Qin and Zhao at the same time, the Wei family would die! So for the Zhao family, even if they knew that they had played tricks, the Wei family could only wait with a smiling face, and wait until the fight was over in Hexi......

Because he was reluctant to take advantage of Hexi, Wei pretended to be deaf and dumb, so he should not know that there was a funeral in the Qin State, and he did not know that the ruling of the Jin State had fought with Qin Hua into a jade silk, and continued to use troops against the Zhuyi of Yushui. Zhao Wuxian tacitly did not force the Wei clan to strike the army, after the big fight, it was impossible for Qin and Wei to reconcile again, for the sake of Hexi's fat, the two sides must be in an endless situation. The remaining Qin people resisted stubbornly, and the war in Hexi was only afraid that it would continue to be fought...... Until the west wind overpowers the east wind, or the east wind prevails over the west wind.

Wei's offensive was very fierce, and after the death of Qin Bo, the shock of the Qin court did not end for a long time, and by mid-May, Dali fell, and the southwest of Hexi had been completely controlled by the Wei army, and the center of gravity began to turn to the north, and Wei Ju planned to use Shaoliang as a stronghold to uproot the northern expedition, Peng Ya and other cities.

However, when Wei Ju led the army to receive Shaoliang, he was once again stunned by the scene in front of him.

Shaoliang City, which was once prosperous in the past and was also regarded as Dayi in Yongzhou, has now become a ghost town, with empty streets and alleys, only a few wild dogs drilling around, and there is not even a grain of grain left in the treasury!

The Zhao family came gently and walked heavily, and all the people and food in the city were taken to the three counties of Lou, Lishi, and Lin to enrich the place and prepare for the further development of Shangjun. With a wave of their sleeves, they left Wei with an empty city full of ruins......
