Chapter 1114: Slaughtering the World and Splitting Mountains and Rivers (I)
"If you look closely, you will see that the wolves in the wild are always on the move, chasing their prey in the storm, constantly blocking their retreat, and finally swarming up and tearing them to pieces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But when the prey falls, the hungry wolves only sniff and dare not come close to eat the fresh flesh. Because the head wolf has not yet spoken, all the prey, the wolf king has the right to bite first, and only after he has eaten and drunk enough, will he divide the rest of the prey......"
"The princes of the world are the same, the lord is the head wolf, and has the power to decide right and wrong and divide the territory. The wolf that is close to it can lick the scraps and burn coldly, but the wolf who is estranged from it can't even share a single hair! ”
Today is the second day of the first lunar month, the second day of the Huangchi Meeting, Zhao Wuxian let Ji Huan help him put on the clothes of Rong Zhi, wearing Wei Ben on his head, smiled at the energetic uncle in the mirror, and said: "My knife has been sharpened brightly, just waiting to divide the New Year's sacrificial meat, this first piece of meat is called Qi Guo!" ”
Ji Huan knew that Wuxian didn't have so many words on weekdays, but he was a little too excited to become the master of the uncle in the past few days, and his wish came true.
Escorted by Yulin's guards, Zhao Wuxian left the dormitory, walked through the courtyard, and entered the Ming Hall for deliberations, and outside the door, he met Yan Hou Ke.
The two once had a one-sided friendship in Daibei, when he was still the crown prince Ke, with the death of Yan Jiangong, the prince Ke succeeded to the throne, Yan completely severed the relationship with the Qi State, and in recent years, the Zhao State has been called by all of them, and it is considered an iron-clad ally.
After a while of greetings, Zhao Wuxian and Yan Hou walked into the brightly lit hall one after another, and the four people inside had been waiting for a long time.
Zhao Wuxian's gaze swept over their faces one by one, Guoshu, Gao Wupi, Bao Xi, Yan Yu, they were all enemies of the Chen family, they should have perished, but they were accepted by the Zhao State, and they survived, and finally led the Zhao army to counterattack the Qi State and drove Chen Heng into the sea.
"I've seen the uncle! I've seen Yanhou! ”
Seeing Zhao Wuxian's recent arrival, the four of them hurriedly bowed, their words were respectful, and they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. But for Yan Hou and Zhao Hou to come hand in hand, I couldn't help but be surprised in my heart, what I want to discuss today is about the throne of Qi State, what does this have to do with Yan State?
"Yan Hou is here to be a witness."
Zhao Wuxian was not in a hurry, after inviting Yan Hou to take a seat, he walked straight to the main seat and sat down, and the attendant offered his favorite hot tea, and Zhao Hou was just drinking tea on the couch while closing his eyes and recuperating.
Yan Hou looked at his nose and nose, and the four people of Qi didn't dare to wait, and finally, Zhao Wuxian seemed to have rested enough, so he said slowly: "I invited the fourth son here today to discuss the affairs of Qi State." ”
The four of them said in unison: "Gongzi Tu is the youngest son of the first monarch, originally supported by the Chen family, the succession is unreasonable, and today he was deposed, no one dares to have any objections to the secretary of state of Qi, as for the new monarch candidate...... But according to the master's words! ”
Zhao Wuxian was very pleased that they were self-aware, but he shook his head and said: "Although the country cannot be without a king for a day, it is not too late to put aside this in advance, and first demarcate the border between Qi and its neighbors. ”
The four of them chuckled in their hearts, but Zhao Wuxian did not allow them to protest, and asked Zixia to spread out a map of Qi in the hall, pointing to the mountains and rivers above and saying:
"In order to help the four families of Zhao to quell the rebellion of the Chen family and recover the Qi country, the Zhao State and the Yan State have been conscripting troops for many years and fighting fiercely, and thousands of troops and horses do not know how much grain and grass have been consumed, and they must be compensated."
He waved his hand: "First of all, Shuzhou, which was forcibly occupied by the Qi State thirty years ago, must be returned to the Yan State!" ”
Shuzhou, that is, the area of Tianjin and Cangzhou in later generations. Don't look at the prosperous place of Beijing Gate in later generations, at this time it was still a barren saline-alkali land, with only a small city. This was originally the place given by the Duke of Qi Huan to the Yan State, and the Qi State interfered in the internal affairs of the Yan State thirty years ago, and by the way, it also occupied this place. A few years ago, Zhao Wuxian captured Hejian, because the road was too far, he didn't even send troops to take this town, and today he returned to Yan State, which is considered a reward for Yan State.
Just the northern city of Shuzhou, which has nothing to do with the interests of the four families, Guo, Gao, Bao, and Yan don't care, and they don't dare to care, so they are busy agreeing. Yan Hou Ke was overjoyed, and secretly said that he had not followed Zhao in vain all these years, he had only succeeded to the throne for a few years, and many powers were held by the clan, and he could get a share of Shuzhou, which could make him prestige in the country soar.
However, compared to what Zhao Guo obtained, Shuzhou is only a small shrimp.
"Secondly, Jibei, Jinan, and Jimo, these three places should be assigned to Zhao State! As the county of Zhao. ”
Zhao Wuxian's voice fell, and the four of them looked at each other, with a wry smile on their faces, "That's really the case".
After breaking through Linzi in July last year, Zhao Wuxian let the four families go deep into Donglai to pursue Chen Heng, and he himself withdrew the main force to Jibei and Jinan, moved the people of Linzi to Lixia, and arranged local officials to Tuntian, resume production, and rely on the posture of not leaving. Today, Zhao Hou mentioned that these two places would be assigned to Zhao State, which confirmed the speculation of the four people.
Jibei and Jinan are the anointed places of Qingzhou, accounting for about two-fifths of the land of Qi, with dense cities and a population of nearly one million! Coupled with Jiaodong Dayi Jimo, Zhao Hou's appetite is also too big......
Guoshu was a little angry, and wanted to stand up and argue with reason, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Gao Wupi.
The entire territory of Qi is still occupied by the Zhao army, and Zhao Wuxian has obtained the power of the Son of Heaven "Marquis of Zhao, who has to make a special expedition to correct Wang Yu", so he dares to arbitrarily divide the Qi country. The country and the high school alone can't stop him at all, and protesting at this time will only cost his life in vain and harm the family!
Gao Wupi has nothing else to ask for now, he only hopes that Zhao Hou can raise his noble hand and let Jiang Qi's society continue, so that he can be regarded as worthy of his surname.
Guoshu also knew that it was powerful, sighed, and sat down with a pale face, people are swords and I am fish and meat, what can they do?
It's just that Bao Xi and Yan Yu are a little embarrassed, you know, their territory is still in Jibei and Jinan!
But I heard Zhao Wuxian say: "The two sons of Bao and Yan, are you willing to break away from Qi and become the doctor of Zhao State?" The territories of the two families, Baoyi and Yanyi, will be retained, and the widow still hopes that you can be the county of Jibei County and Jinan County of Zhao State! ”
……
"Zhao Guo's doctor, Jun Cheng?"
Bao Xi and Yan Yu stared wide-eyed, unwilling in their hearts, but they didn't dare to refuse, they felt that if they didn't comply, their territory would probably be deprived by Zhao Wuxian, so they could only agree.
Of course, there is a reason why Zhao Wuxian divided the Qi State in this way and also accepted Bao and Yan: Jibei is the old nest of the Chen family, and the Jinan Dazong clan is prevalent, and many Linzi people have moved in. Zhao Jun has just arrived, and it is not easy to gain a foothold, so he must rely on local forces like controlling Hexi and Feng Yi of Qin State, and the Bao and Yan families are the best helpers. They will serve as deputies to help Zhao Guo's county guards penetrate deep into the township, and after a five-year term, they can let the two of them leave their posts or be transferred elsewhere.
And Jimo connected Huai and Yi, shielded Qi and Lu, which was originally a small state of Dongyi, but was conquered by Qi several decades ago, and slowly became an important southeast town of Qi. In history, Yan Guo Leyi broke 72 cities, and only Jimo and Ju were alone, which shows the danger of their situation.
Moreover, the southeast coast of Jimo is the Jiaozhou Bay of the later generations, which controls the throat of the Yellow Sea and is the key to Donglai. This is a better harbor than Langya, although Zhao Wuxian has no money to build a navy for the time being, it does not mean that he will not want it in the future, he plans to set up a county in Jimo under the direct jurisdiction of Zhao State.
With a stroke of his pen, Zhao Wuxian cut two-fifths of the territory of Qi State, and the hall fell silent, Bao and Yan were faintly worried about their future careers in Zhao State, and Guoshu had not yet recovered from this drastic change.
The former overlord country, the great state of Haidai, was so easily torn apart?
Gao Wupi still remembered the purpose of coming here today, he coughed lightly, and asked again: "Uncle, since the territory has been divided, should we discuss it, and who should succeed the Qi State?" ”
Zhao Wuxian nodded: "The widow remembers that in addition to Yangsheng and Gongzi Tu, there are two other princes in exile in Zhao State, one is Gongzi Mao, and the other is Gongzi Zhang......"
Gao Wupi hurriedly said: "Yes, among them, Gongzi Mao is older, should Gongzi Mao be established?" ”
Zhao Wuxian said meaningfully: "But the widow heard that Gongzi Mao is not virtuous, and Gongzi Zhang is even more virtuous!" ”
Gao Wupi swallowed his saliva: "Then set up a son's chapter?" ”
Zhao Wuxian still shook his head, as if he was in a dilemma in the choice between the two candidates.
Just when Gao Wupi was anxious, he saw Zhao Hou slap his palm and said, "It's better to be like this, the two sons are established as kings!" ”
"Ahh Gao Wupi almost stumbled and fell to the ground, Guoshu, Bao Xi, Yan Yu, and even Yan Hou Ke all widened their eyes, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Hou's gourd.
Or did Bao Xi react first and asked tentatively: "What does the uncle mean is to divide the remaining territory of the Qi Kingdom into two?" ”
"That's not right." Zhao Wuxian smiled, and the dagger appeared.
"It's divided into three!"
While the five people in the hall were stunned, he clapped his hands and shouted to the looming curtain on the side of the Ming Hall: "Han Qing, come out!" ”
"The minister is here."
The deep clothes are fluttering, the jade general, the gentle middle-aged gentleman Han Hu came out as promised, and after coming out, he bowed to Zhao Wuxian first, and bowed to the courtesy, and then bowed to the other five people.
After several deep conversations with Huang Chi in Yecheng, he seems to have resumed his intimate relationship with Zhao Wuxian.
Zhao Wuxian also patted Han Hu's shoulder affectionately, as if he had written off the grievances of the Zhao family before and after the Jin Dynasty, and then announced to the five people in the house: "Ziyin is the righteous brother of the widow and the in-law of the Zhao State. Because of his merits in shielding the royal family and constantly serving the throne, the Son of Heaven has decided to make the Han family also listed as a prince under the recommendation of the widow! Its fiefdom is in Donglai! ”
