PS: A 5,000-word chapter today, two more tomorrow

"When I heard that Shang Tang was hunting between the rivers, I saw the savages stretching their nets on all sides and praying, and the birds and beasts from all directions above and below entered my net. Tang said: 'Hey, there are all the birds and beasts! Unkind. So he ordered him to go to the net on three sides, and open only one side, and prayed: The beast wants to the left, the left; Want right, right. Those who do not need to die are in our net. The princes heard that the soup was open on three sides, praising its benevolence and virtue and the beasts, not to mention the princes? So the princes obeyed ......"

"Now Sikou has laid layers of nets inside and outside Daze, the boat can't get out, the corn and kudzu can't enter, and the metatarsal is guilty, but how can the 40,000 people be innocent? When the cold winter comes, the number of people who die of freezing and starvation is unknown, Si Kou is known as Shang Tang Rende, how can he bear it? Plagiarism is a ...... if you don't take it."

At the end of September, in Yuncheng, Zhao Wuxian was wearing a leather armor with a black background and red color, no crown, just a black scarf, and couldn't help laughing when he heard Kan Zhinian's reply to the thief's foot, which was probably the most amusing word he had heard this year.

"If I hadn't known that he was a thief who was rampant, I would have thought that he was a Confucian of Confucius, but it would be a pity not to be a pedestrian who argues with tongues, and it is too much to compare me to Shang Tang."

However, being touted by such a chess opponent is still a bit useful in his heart.

After the ambush battle, the thieves didn't know what means they had used, but they were able to escape, although his prestige plummeted, but with his axis, at least until the end of this year, the group of thieves would not completely fall apart.

But Zhao Wuxian didn't intend to give him a chance to breathe.

In conjunction with the military victory, the political offensive had to keep up, and a large-scale surrender operation against Onozawa had begun. There are several small islands on the periphery, and the cave owner and the like are descending from the wind. He almost helped him arrest the thief. There were a few places to the east that did not respond, but they did not dare to harm the envoys sent by Zhao Wuxian to see him off. In between.

But the largest Dongyuan Island is still in the hands of the thieves, and there are more than 1,000 of his elite and senior thieves on the island, all of whom are fierce outlaws. It is said that the terrain of this island is complex, the steep rocks are dense, there are countless rivers in the reeds in the sky, and the big village of the thieves is located at a high place, and the strong attack may have a lot of casualties.

What's more, the boat master has not succeeded, and he can't trust those thieves who are desperate, and he is even more unwilling to let his hard-working soldiers board the thief ship. What if things change and you die in the belly of a fish? Therefore, for the time being, we will not consider entering the army again.

According to the original plan of Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan, if the thieves can be captured alive, he and the Onozawa group of thieves will have something to use. But now he has not done his best, although Wuxian sent a letter, but he consciously wants to persuade Liu Xia to be difficult, he has his own unique "Tao" thief, I am afraid it is difficult to bow to others.

However, it turns out that Shirtless underestimated this person this time.

So there was a reply letter, and the thief began with the story of the three sides of SenseTime. Asking Zhao Wuxian to let him go. The thief swore that he was willing to reconcile with Wuxian, and as long as he could let the "people" in Huze survive this winter, he was willing to go ashore and swear a blood oath, and never approach Wuxian's fiefdom again. and even the territory of the major doctors of Xiluda.

In the slip, Liu Xia's feet have lost the arrogance of the rampant river in previous years, and the arrogance when he shouted "The King of No Way". There was a helpless whisper between the lines.

Instead of despising him because of this, Zhao Wuxian will pay more attention to him. I can bend the proud backbone. Able to endure humiliation and bear weight. Able to descend people, such a person is a little more terrifying than rather straight and not bent, although the thief has repeatedly emphasized in the slip that his bow is for the "people" on the island......

Kan Zhi said: "So far, the thief still wants to negotiate conditions with Si Kou, he wants to delay, as long as he survives this year, taking advantage of the war of Qi Jin and even Yu Lu, he may be able to find a chance to recover again." Si Kou can't be trusted, it's easy to release a tiger and it's difficult to bind a tiger, so you should take advantage of the situation to pursue and exterminate it in one fell swoop! ”

Wuxian nodded: "I don't know, but the Qi people are in the north, and the defense of the country doesn't know what to do, and Sanhuan can't be relied on at all, do we now have the strength to deal with Liu Xiaxing?" ”

Kan Zhi thought about it and showed regret: "No." ”

Yes, the purpose of this ambush was to make the thief have no time to attack him from the rear for a while, but if he can't capture or kill the leader, even if he can repel it, it is not enough to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and the trouble is here.

"I'll read what you wrote, and then send a letter to Liu Xiajiao, saying that he has three choices now, one of which is to pack up the parts and fight me to the death. The second is to take all the young and old people in Osawa to destroy the nest on Higashihara Island at the beginning of October, land and surrender, and hand over all the population and ships to me, and I will properly settle the innocent. ”

Kan Zhi said: "I'm afraid the willow plantar will not fall." ”

"He now seems to have two paths: war and surrender, but in fact he has no choice. After encountering the Mandarin Duck Formation, he may have lost the confidence of the enemy, and the battle will be dead, it is a matter of time. From what I know about this person, the kind of temperament that will never tie his hands until the last moment will definitely not be restrained, so I will give him a third option. ”

Wu Xian continued: "Third, since he is willing to bow his head, then I will not hesitate to open the net on one side, do they lack food and clothing from time to time? I know there's a good place to go, and it's up to him to go if he wants to go! ”

Kan Zhi suddenly stopped writing: "What Si Kou said is ......"

"That's right, I'm going to ask Liu Xia to attack and defend the country to serve himself!"

Kan Zhi thought for a moment, slapped his hands and praised: "Brilliant plan! Si Kou is clever. ”

No mercy and no credit: "This is Zhang Zi's strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, if the thief is caught, then in his name, manipulate the thieves to do it, but now it can only be changed slightly." ”

"Wei Guo is slow to move, I think Wei Hou is waiting for the opportunity for the Fan clan of the Jin State and the Handan clan to send troops to intercept it. In this way, if we take the initiative to attack and defend, we will become the ones who provoke the war, and the first one to rebel will die, and we may not be criticized by the secretaries of the Jin State. But the thief is different, he is a wild thief who does not belong to any of the forces, and the group of thieves attacking bridges and passes is not something that happens every autumn and winter? Of course, the thief has no equipment, and we don't expect it, and it is impossible for him to break through Dayi, he only needs to cut off the connection between the city and the township. Occupy roads and bridges to weaken Punan's defenses. Just let the defenders get tired. At that time, Pu Nan will become a crab that has been plucked out of the big turtle and crab legs, and he will be left to wait for our fish. ”

……

Kan Zhi was skeptical that Liu Xiajiao would agree to the matter. But he was surprised by the results, and only three days later, Yanagi wrote back that he was "willing to do the work of the dogs and horses" of the Siko, and the ships in the Great Lake that were monitoring Higashihara Island reported that the island had begun to mobilize again.

"You can't let your guard down, you have to wait until the group of thieves really attack Punandi, and this plan is half of it. In addition to the thieves, the two thousand thieves we have just recruited can also choose their obedient ones as their leaders. Continue to dress up as a thief and go south under the leadership of the military officials. ”

Kan Zhi said: "The Sanyi soldiers should leave a part of the Qi people who defended the north, so if we can use the group of thieves as the vanguard and drive for me, we can reduce casualties." If the soldiers of the country die, the defense of Punan will be cut, and if the group of thieves is killed, the thieves of Onozawa will be cut. Si Kou can also enter the Wei Realm under the banner of suppressing Kou, and fight all the way to the edge of the Yellow River to join Zhao Bing! ”

A plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf. Let one attack the other, make the two kill each other, so that the third party can take advantage of the fisherman. In later generations, Xun Yu ordered Liu Bei to attack Lü Bu, and Emperor Yang of Sui ordered Tie Le to destroy Tuyuhun for self-efficacy, and the Sui Dynasty recovered his land. Nothing less.

Kan Zhi hesitated again: "It's just that if the thieves take this opportunity to rob the people, they will recover their vitality." How's that to be? ”

It is not difficult to understand from the literal face that the operator of "driving the tiger and devouring the wolf" needs to have superb skills and means. Otherwise, in the end, the tiger will be more harmful than the wolf, and the future will be endless.

"Just go ashore. Under the front of the soldiers, they can't help it. I can let him return with some food and clothing, but he is not allowed to plunder the population, not many kills, and he can also take the opportunity to surrender a group to stay, and in the end Liu Xia will find that not only has he not recovered, but it is becoming more and more difficult. In fact, I don't know if the thief understands it, and if he offends the people around Onozawa for more points, the foundation of his survival will be reduced by one point, and he thinks that he will lose in the military formation, but in fact, he will lose in the hearts of the people. ”

The thieves may have realized it, so they had the slogan of equal wealth and poverty, but it was too late, in the past few years, the unscrupulous looting of the robbers under his command had dug their roots, and the arrival of Zhao Wuxian and good governance had greatly reduced the lethality of this slogan.

From this point of view, as long as Wuxian takes the surrounding area of Onozawa and deals with the problems of people's livelihood, there is no possibility of the revival of the thieves, because the rogue is destined to be spurned by the people of the country and eliminated by history.

In the end, Kan Zhi asked curiously: "I don't know what was written in the handwritten letter that Si Kou originally sent that could make Liu Xia's attitude change so much." ”

"Without him, I am actually very similar to Liuxia, he is the illegitimate son of Liuxia Yehe, after entering Lucheng, he suffered from the white eyes of Sanhuan, and was finally expelled by the Ji family, and had to fall into the grass as a last resort. And I am also a concubine of the Zhao family, who has been treated coldly for more than ten years, and once a female fly, I was framed by traitors and jealous people, and now I am also adrift. Probably a sentence in my letter just moved him, only the son of a son can understand the situation and ambition of the son of a son...... So whether it's true or not, he has at least put down his confrontational posture for now, and is willing to try to cooperate with me, and if it is appropriate, maybe we can also deal with the common enemy together and do something together. ”

Kan Zhi tried to ask, "What words?" ”

Wuxian showed a meaningful smile: "Princely general, rather have a kind!?" ”

……

Wei Guo's betrayal of Jin has actually lasted for a long time, and Wei Houyuan consciously presided over the alliance by the secretary of state of Jin at the Yingze meeting, and suffered a loss and was angry. The Jin State has been harsh to Wei for a long time, and compared with the kindness of the Marquis of Qi to him, it is simply a world of difference, so after he returned to Puyang Emperor Qiu, he planned to defect to the Jin and join Qi, but the Qi State was defeated at the beginning, and then the conscription and battle got the second year, so he endured it.

Who expected that if you endure it, it will be a whole year's time.

So when the news of Qi's attack on Yiyi came, Wei Hou was ecstatic.

But he was worried that the doctors would oppose it, because the interests of the Wei State and the Jin State were deeply involved, and the manor of the Wei people and the land of Qiao occupied by the Jin State were intertwined, and Sun Xinglin's father even took the land directly to the Jin Dynasty, and he has not asked for it back.

Wei Houyuan had no choice but to consult Wang Sun Jia, the doctor who helped him save his face at the Yingze meeting.

In fact, although Wei Hou is occasionally shrewd, his talent is only mediocre, he is more suspicious because of his love for male pets, and he has a short temper, and he treats the people in a coma. The reason why Wei Guo rose steadily after he succeeded to the throne was because he, like the Marquis of Qi, was in a mediocre and unreasonable way. There is also a side of knowing people and being good at their duties. There is Kong Yu to receive guests (that is, Kong Wenzi, who is sensitive and studious, and is not ashamed to ask). Zhu Tuo managed the sacrifice, and Wang Sun Jia commanded the army. These are the three horses and kimono horses that are now pulling the defense of the country.

The resourceful Wang Sun Jia came up with an idea, and he asked Wei Hou to stop the court meeting and move to the suburban palace. This was the place where the country was judged to have taken refuge at the beginning of Wei Houyuan's succession, and this move had a special meaning, so the doctors were very strange and came to ask what the reason was.

As soon as they took a look, Wei Hou's dress frightened them, and they actually wore a plain manuscript crown that was only worn after military defeat or national funeral!

In this strange atmosphere, Wei Hou told them about the insults and unequal treatment they received from the Jin people at the Yingze meeting last year. said with a worried face: "The widow knows that it is insulting to the society, and he can't live with the first monarch Uncle Kang, Duke Wu, and Duke Wen, and he has no face to occupy the throne again, and the second and third sons still change the prince to the heir, and the widow is willing to avoid Xintai." ”

The doctors were stunned, the monarch didn't do it, what is this?

They know very well that this male and female monarch seems to be confused and lustful, but in fact he is shrewd, the powerful ministers for more than 20 years. Didn't he clean it up? What's more, the marriage with the Song State is so easy to settle down, and you are still counting on the princess to marry over there, but the monarch here openly abdicates, so what should I do? It's not for the princess of Song to pass on to the new monarch! Wei Guo is now sandwiched between the two great powers of Qi and Jin. I hope to have a good relationship with the Song Kingdom in the south, and I have a lot to rely on.

Like the Song Kingdom, Wei Guo is constantly judging the size of the country. There was even a paraffin wax killing, and there was also "Politics by Ning." sacrifice by the widow", but has always maintained the tradition of honoring the king. Although the Qing clan is powerful and colludes with foreign countries, they dare not abuse power.

So the doctors admonished one after another: "This is the disaster of defending the country, where is the fault of the king?" ”

Wei Hou also pretended to threaten the doctors with abdication, so he continued: "The harsh covenant of last year is just that, but now there are more worrying things, now Qi Jin is in trouble, and the Jin State suspects that Wei Guo will rebel, so he sent a pedestrian to say to the widow: The son of the prince of Wei Guo and the doctor of Zhuqing must be taken hostage!" ”

The doctors hesitated for a moment, although they were a little dissatisfied with the persecution of the Jin people, but they were still within the scope of acceptance, and when the time came, they would send the concubine to follow the prince to Xinjiang as a hostage, they had more or less some relationship with the six secretaries of the Jin State, and the other party could not take care of one or two?

So he said, "If this is beneficial to the country, and the crown prince should take on this responsibility, how dare the sons of his subordinates not follow the tail of the horse with the bridle and the reins of the horse?" ”

Wang Sun Jia sneered beside him: "What the Jin people ask for is the son-in-law of the doctors, not the concubine!" ”

The doctors were dumbfounded: "Really? It's too much......"

Wang Sun Jia said demagogues: "Not only that, the Jin people have an excuse to make a large number of weapons and armor, and they want all the craftsmen and merchants in Puyang to migrate to Chaoge, Handan, and Bairen, and the two armies and the countrymen of Wei will also serve the three Jin armies and go to Yiyi to fill the ravines!" ”

The doctors were a little angry: "How dare the Jin people do this! ”

Wei Hou Qi said angrily: "Wei Guo was the chief of the princes in Zong Zhou, and the Jin State was secluded between Rong and Di, and his status was not as good as mine. But since the Battle of Chengpu, Wei Guo has put down the dignity after King Wen, and has paid tribute to the Jin State after King Wu, but the Jin people have repeatedly humiliated us. At that time, the Duke of Jin Wen wanted to kill the first monarch because of a small festival, because the Zhou room was too medical to be too much, fortunately he did not die, but the Jin people divided my field in the west to the Lu State. ”

"This is an old grudge, let's just say what happened recently, a few years ago, in order to win over Cai Guo, the Jin people actually ranked the position of Uncle Cai's rebellion and blood before my defense of the country. In last year's war, the Jin army plundered in the Wei Kingdom, at least more than 2,000 households were plundered, and the Zhao family even occupied Zhen City, and the Jin State openly assigned this city to the Lu State. That's it, but now, the crown prince, the son of the prince's doctor, as well as the countrymen, craftsmen and merchants, as long as we have them, all have to serve the Jin Kingdom, as if the widow is no longer an independent prince, but a county doctor in Jin! ”

Wei Hou said indignantly, suddenly got up, went to the crown, pulled out his sword and cut the case in two!

"It's bearable, it's unbearable! Such a humiliation of destroying the country and destroying the society, we must no longer agree, according to the will of the widow, now that the Qi country is attacking Jin, it is better to betray Jin and join Qi! ”

Sure enough, it's for this! The doctors looked at each other with hesitation.

Wang Sun Jia said: "It's better to betray the Jin State first, and then send hostages in case of danger, why is it too late?" Ladies and gentlemen, if Wei Guo betrays the Jin State and the Jin State attacks me, how dangerous will it be? ”

Although I don't know whether the "harsh conditions" of the Jin State sworn by Wei Hou and Wang Sun Jia are true, but the doctors are now ready to send arrows, if one is unwilling, maybe he will be labeled as treason, so they all say: "Although the Wei Kingdom is small, it is also a country of five hundred times, even if the Jin people attack us five times, it is still impossible to break through Puyang, and they are still capable of fighting." ”

So this sudden public discussion had a result, and Wei Guo made up his mind to betray the Jin State. In September, 500 chariots and more than 20,000 soldiers of the two armies gathered in Puyang, waiting for the best time to move.

According to the secret agreement reached between Qi Hou and Wei Hou before, their eyes were firmly fixed on the movements of the Jin army.

Therefore, on the Punan side, Weiguo only left one division to defend each city.

At the beginning of October, when the Fan clan and the Handan clan of the Jin State had gathered 600 and 400 soldiers to prepare to march east to support the Zhongxing clan, which was about to hold on, the Marquis of Wei, who was ready to go, also received the news that the Punan area was disturbed by robbers and the transportation and communication between the various towns were cut off...... (To be continued......)
