Chapter 328: The End of the Tyrant (Part II)
Just now, Yang Hu was forced into a desperate situation, and once wanted to kill Lu Hou to burn the jade, but was told by Zhao Wuxian that he still had a chance to live.
Yang Hu is a person with a strong desire to survive, and he will never give up until he has to, but after what happened last time, he has long since lost trust in what Zhao Wuxian said.
Yang Hu sneered: "When August was not young, you swore an oath with me in the mansion, but you took refuge in Sanhuan before your blood dried up, and now I will still believe you?" β
Zhao Wuxian did not have the slightest moral burden, and if he wanted to survive in this spring and autumn world, betrayal and breaking contracts were as common as breathing and eating.
The reason why the Chen clan was able to rise was that it had a great deal to do with them and assist the secretaries of Qi to expel the Qing clan, and the winner was the king and the loser Kou, and afterwards even the sage Yan Ying praised Chen Wenzi and Chen Wuyu's "righteous deeds".
He laughed loudly: "Nan Kuai rebelled against the Ji clan with Feiyi, and he will go to Fei, drink the wine of the villagers, and the villagers sing and say, those who go to me are despised, and those who are ashamed of their neighbors." Only thirty years have passed since the incident of Nan Kuai, and I heard that before Ji Pingzi died, he stroked Da Sima's back, handed him over to Yangzi, and instructed Yangzi not to follow Nan Kuai. Didn't Yangzi also cry bitterly at that time and pledge his allegiance to the Great Sima Commission? But what was the civil strife in the Ji clan two years ago, and what happened to the sword that was on Ji Dasima the day before yesterday! β
The so-called oath is just a ritual of mutual use, I, Zhao Wuxian, and you are just a pure cooperative relationship, there is no monarch and minister, and there is no friendship between the two people, where can it compare to your sin of betraying the lord and monarch? A retainer who betrays his lord talks about faithfulness with others, isn't it fifty steps and a hundred steps?
Yang Hu's face changed slightly, what Zhao Wuxian said was reasonable, and the one who was the least qualified to say that others were treacherous, I am afraid it was him.
His predecessor, Ji Pingzi's Ji Zainan rebelled as a retainer, and he also fought for the righteousness of the Xing Gong Office, but was condemned and said: "As a private minister, I want to Zhang Da Gong's office, which is a great sin in itself!" β
What's more, Yang Hu is for himself.
Zhao Wuxian approached again: "You have no choice, Yang Yue is still alive." The lives of the Yang clan are now in my hands. I know that Yoko is a person who values love and righteousness, otherwise there would not be so many dead soldiers of the Gong clan to serve you, if you don't want them to be killed in Lu City, let go of the king. I can keep you from dying. β
Under the threat of the lives of his relatives, Yang Hu retreated.
β¦β¦
The Qu of the five fathers is twelve miles southeast of Lucheng, Qu, the original meaning is the road that extends in all directions, and here is the name of the fork in the suburbs of Lucheng. There is a small hill next to it, which is the burial place of the Chinese after their deaths. Kong Qiu was still young when he lost his father, and he did not know his tomb, and after the death of his mother Yan's daughter, he could only be buried in the five fathers' Qu first, and then moved to the burial.
As a supreme point on the outskirts of Lucheng, it is said that there is a remnant of a god of the Dongyi people, so it often becomes the place of oath. Two years ago, Yang Hu forced Lu Hou and Sanhuan to curse the oath here, agreeing to let him take charge of military power and state affairs.
On that day, the flag was unfurled. Hundreds of officials gathered, the monarch, and the three secretaries all surrendered to him, it was the most glorious day of Yang Hu's life, and he still remembers it vividly.
"Clank!"
After the short sword landed, Yang Hu, who was surrounded by the dismounted Zhao clan, recalled all the things in the past few years, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Its rise is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden!"
Yu, Tang sins himself, and his prosperity is also vigorous! Whoever is a sinner, his death is also sudden!
This is what Zang Wenzhong, a doctor of Lu who was praised as the "three immortals" by his uncle Muzi, said. Almost everyone in the aristocrats of Lu knows about it, and no one knows it. In order to become the ruling secretary and replace the Meng family, Yang Hu still spent a lot of effort on the history and etiquette. That's why I can feel it.
But all this is meaningless, now he is a fish and meat, and Zhao Wuxian is a knife.
The sword warrior stood more than ten steps in front, supported by the personal guard Mu Xia and the dead soldier Tian Ben.
Lu Hou, who was already frightened and about to collapse, was personally supported by Zhao Wuxian, and was sent by the military guards to the warm car that came behind to be properly settled, which was the greatest credit made by Zhao Wuxian today. Dingguojun!
Yang Hu is known for his bravery, and although he is now alone, Zhao Wuxian does not dare to be careless, and has always kept a safe distance from Yang Hu.
"I thought that Zitai could risk his life, personally saved the Ji family, and galloped overnight to recapture the monarch, he should be a bold person, but I didn't expect to be so cowardly." Yang Hu was not tied, but several spears and crossbows were aimed at him from a few steps away, but he was still not afraid, and he did not hide his disdain for Zhao Wuxian at all.
Looking at the crescent moon from afar: "When I was young, I dreamed of death, and when I woke up, I felt like a world away, just like a person who had lived two lives, so I was very sorry for my life. The wind and waves have come, if the boat capsizes in the small ravine of the five fathers, wouldn't it be laughing for the people of the world? For a tiger like Yoko, no fear can be feared! β
"A good one is brave in big things, and cowardly in small battles, although I am defeated today, I am still a little unwilling, so I have three things to ask."
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"First, what's the situation in Yuncheng now?"
"If there is no accident, it has fallen into the hands of the Xiaqiu warriors, and there will be good news at the latest in the future."
The combat effectiveness of the Yuncheng Yi soldiers, Zhao Wuxian has already seen it along the way, the nearly 1,000 people who were captured surrendered without a fight, and now they are still locked up in the barracks with their uncle Sun Zhi, how good can their colleagues who stay in Yuncheng be, Tiger Club and Ran Qiu with more than 100 locals, it is easy to take the city.
Yang Hu showed his white teeth: "Sure enough, you have been seeking me for a long time, I'm afraid it's just for the five thousand households, I have an advantage in the dispute with Sanhuan, if you are willing to help me, you don't need to exert too much effort, as long as you spread out the words, I may change Shusun Zhi to another place and give you the entire Xiyi?" Afterwards, you can join hands to be the enemy of Qi and achieve your long-cherished wish of meritorious service, why not? β
"So, why did you choose Sanhuan!?"
This is where Yang Hu is most resentful, he doesn't complain about Zhao Wuxian's treachery now, he just can't figure out his choice.
Zhao Wuxian shook his head and sighed: "Yangzi really thinks that today's defeat is because of my anyway?" In fact, no matter what the war is, you will definitely lose. β
"Ridiculous!"
"It's not ridiculous, I'm a foreign Jin secretary, I've only been in Lu for two months, and I only have two towns in my hands, neither strength nor prestige is taken seriously, the only thing I can rely on is the identity of the Zhao family of Jin State. My original plan and the strategist were just to watch the fire from across the strait and gain benefits from it, but after walking the country of Lu in a small circle, some things became clearer and clearer. β
Today's Yang Tiger, just like the Qi National Day seal decades ago, seems to be in power, but in fact it is full of dangers.
Internally, he forced Sanhuan into a desperate situation of trapped beasts, and did not make good use of Lu Hou, except for some doctors who were promoted by him, most of the nobles dared to be angry with him but did not dare to speak. If we learn from Chen's "tyrant" line and share profits to curry favor with the people, it will also be a way out. However, Yang Hu's first army re-endowment measures made the people hate him to the bone, and he personally presided over Yangguan did not have good governance, it is said that Confucius passed the sun of Mount Tai, and said that "harsh government is fiercer than the tiger", which is equivalent to digging his own foundation.
Externally, he thought that he had won the favor of the overlord by helping the Jin State attack the Qi State, but in fact, the six secretaries of the Jin State were above the top and did not take him seriously at all. He led the army to attack Zheng Guo, Qi State, and Wei Guo, and offended these countries from the monarch to the people, for example, Wei Hou was extremely angry with Yang Hu, and Zheng Guo Kuang people also hated to eat the meat of Yang Hu raw.
He is indeed extraordinarily courageous and capable, but the means of using people and building momentum are still very naΓ―ve and monotonous.
For example, the "tree man" that Yang Hu boasted of, in Zhao Wuxian's view, was not good at tree people.
Citrus is not much of a tree, but pig teammates and potential enemies are a bunch of trees, such as the evil government of Uncle Sun Zhi in Yuncheng, and the disappreciation of Confucius. As the so-called tree thorns, it is a stinging person, so the gentleman is cautious of the tree!
Therefore, after hearing the information narrated by Zhao Wuxian, Zhang Mengtan analyzed with him: Even if Yang Hu can win by luck for a while, it will soon be suddenly defeated, and he is afraid that the power of the Lu State will be torn apart by then, so Zhao Wuxian finally abandoned him.
Yang Hu was already stunned when he heard it, this was something that his henchmen had never said in the past, and the scenes of the past few years were torn apart by the shirtless, and even the belt was bloody in front of him.
In the end, Wuxian said: "What's more, I am originally from the Qing family, and I took refuge in a courtier to kill Sanhuan, what is the matter of passing it out?" β
At that time, Zhao Wuxian's reputation will definitely rot in the upper nobility, he can do whatever it takes, but he has to choose the unscrupulous object.
Yang Hu himself is the biggest thief of the country in the Lu State, and expelling this courtier, Zhao Wuxian will only become the hero of the Lu State Office and Sanhuan. Internationally, it is only natural for the nobles to help the nobles expel rebellious retainers, and it will be greatly praised.
After some words, Yang Hu was silent, and the look in his eyes was gloomy: "Indeed, I don't blame others for today's defeat, only myself...... But you think you've won? Personally led the light cavalry to pursue, do you know what the situation in Lu City is now? β
As soon as he thought of this, Yang Hu's waist straightened again, on weekdays, he was the only one who calculated others, but today he was calculated from beginning to end by Zhao Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan's plan for the monarch and ministers, if you can see Zhao Wuxian's angry and corrupt appearance, it will be the most comfortable thing before death.
But Zhao Wuxian was noncommittal: "Isn't it just that Gong Zhiyang has bad intentions and wants to destroy the Ji family in one fell swoop when he is weak, so that the Meng family can be the head of the three Huan, and even the only secretary of the Lu country, if I don't leave a back hand, how can I come out so easily?" β
Yang Hu was stunned again: "You have only been in Lu for three months, and you have only met Gongyang a few times, how can you know so clearly?" β
"Did Yoko forget? I have a close relationship with the Meng family's son, Dr. He, and he is different from Gong Yang about this matter, although he is loyal to the Great Sect, he also wants to try his best to protect the Ji family, so he secretly told me. I don't want to directly confront the Meng family, Ji Dasima has already entered the Lu Palace surrounded by military guards, and I left Zilu to protect it personally, who dares to get half a step closer? β
"What's more, Meng Sun He is jealous of being indecisive, I expect that he will not dare to do such a risky thing, the opportunity must not be lost, and the opportunity to collect Yang is gone. Lu Cheng has now restored order, just wait for the king to return to reward meritorious deeds, so I won't worry about you! (To be continued.) )
