Chapter 516: Central Plains Bridgehead
"Bo Yu, you are responsible for negotiating with the Jin people, and you must use Dong Anyu to exchange Wu Zixu's wife and children back, this is the bottom line. As for leaving ......"
Qingji pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "It doesn't matter if you can exchange it back." ”
"No!"
If you want to leave that traitor, Qingji is naturally very hateful.
This time I can't come back, and next time I can't go back, I can't just send someone to assassinate and leave.
A rebellious minister and thief who openly betrayed Qingji, betrayed the state of Wu, and was still at large, how could Qingji let it go?
Not being able to take Dong Anyu for his own use is also a regret of Qingji.
Who is Dong An?
Dong An is Zhao Ying's confidant and retainer.
He was born in a family of historians, and his ancestor Dong Hu was called "the good history of ancient times" by Confucius.
Dong Anyu received a good education since childhood, and as an adult, he was martial and loyal, righteous and benevolent.
At this time, the Jin State was also like the Zhou Dynasty, and the national government was in the hands of the six Zhengqing of Han, Zhao, Wei, Zhi, Fan, and Bank of China.
Liuqing looked left and right, each with his own intestines, vigilantly watching the wind and grass around him, as long as he had the opportunity, he wanted to bite off a piece of meat from others.
Zhao Ying, who was outnumbered and weak, wanted to build a city as his strategic base, and he gave this task to his retainer Dong Anyu.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Qingji had to admit that Dong An was an excellent architect, a superior strategist and a politician.
Dong An was ordered to place the Zhao clan's strategic location in the Taiyuan Basin, far away from the other Wuqing.
He built Jinyang City on the west bank of the Fen River, which was backed by Longshan, facing Jinshui, relying on Yuyi in the north and Jiaoyang in the south.
The buildings in the city are made of copper pillars instead of wooden pillars, the city wall is made of rammed earth sandwiched by plates, the wall bones are made of plant trunks such as Artemisia annua, which are more than a foot high, and eggs and salt are mixed in the soil.
Facts have proved that Dong Anyu does have advanced strategic vision.
If Qingji remembers correctly, five years later, in 497 BC, Zhao Jianzi (Zhao Ying) asked Zhao Wu, a fellow Handan clan, for 500 slaves he had deposited with him, preparing to enrich Jinyang.
Although Zhao Wu agreed, he was opposed by his father and brother.
The domineering Zhao Jianzi was furious and killed Zhao Wu.
As a result, it led to the Handan rebellion of Zhao Wu's son Zhao Ji and his retainer Shibin.
The Duke of Jin Ding immediately sent Qin to lead his troops to the conquest.
The Fan family and the Zhongxing family, who are also Liuqing, are related to Zhao Wu by marriage, so they secretly formed an alliance with Zhao Ji.
At that time, Dong Anyu persuaded Zhao Jianzi to strike first, but unfortunately the latter did not accept it.
Later, the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan really raised troops, joined forces to defeat the army of Qin, and then waved their troops to attack the Zhao clan, and Zhao Ying had to retreat to Jinyang City.
Fortunately, Jinyang City is strong enough.
And the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, who tasted a little sweetness of victory, were really dizzy, and even launched a counterattack against the Duke of Jin Ding, and became the lost people of the Jin State for a while......
Dong Anyu's final fate was very miserable.
According to the decree of the Jin Kingdom, the first calamity died.
After Fan and Bank of China fled, Zhi Wenzi, the ruler of the Jin State, stood up to put pressure on Zhao Jianzi.
In order to take care of himself, Zhao Ying decided to abandon the car to protect the handsome, and attributed the responsibility for the rebellion between Fan and Zhongxing to Dong Anyu.
Dong Anyu then went to his death and hanged himself.
is such a far-sighted wise man, but his corpse is violently in the city of Jinyang, which he has carefully built and guarded with all his might......
Qingji can only say that Zhao Ying (Zhao Jianzi) is worthy of being a hero.
The heart is ruthless!
With Dong Anyu's "foolish loyalty" to Zhao Ying, it is basically impossible for Qingji to subdue Dong Anyu.
Qingji didn't care.
After all, Zhao Ying may not necessarily become his enemy, maybe under the fate of the meeting, he can join hands and seek greater benefits together.
After Bo Ji left, Qingji set his eyes on Wu Zixu and Fan Li again, and asked: "The widow wants to set up a Jieqing in the land of Wangji of the Zhou royal family, and garrison soldiers and horses. ”
"Do you think that how many soldiers and horses should be stationed near Luoyi in my Wu State, and who is the better Jieqing?"
Hearing this, Wu Zixu and Fan Li couldn't help but glance at each other and fell into deep thought.
"The king, the minister thinks that there should not be too many soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyi, nor too little."
Fan Li replied first: "If there are many Wu troops, then the neighboring Zheng State and Jin State will definitely be restless. ”
"If there are few Wu troops, it will not have a certain deterrent effect. Therefore, the minister thought that 3,000 or 5,000 people were best. ”
Qingji bowed his head slightly and agreed.
His thoughts coincided with Fan Li.
Qingji has now regarded the territory of the Zhou royal family as his own territory.
But, in the final analysis, what Qingji did at this time to obtain the official position of the Zhou royal family and garrison the soldiers and horses was just to plant a nail in the Central Plains.
This is undoubtedly a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the Jin Kingdom, and it is to disgust the Jin people.
This can ensure that the Jin State does not dare to act rashly, and at the same time, it can also use the land of Luoyi as a bridgehead for the Wu State to march into the Central Plains.
"What do you think of the candidate?"
"The king, the minister is willing to stay in Luoyi and serve as the secretary of the Zhou royal family!"
Fan Li took the initiative to ask.
Qingji waved his hand and said, "No." The land of Luoyi Wangji is a land of right and wrong, young uncle, you stay here, it is a small material. ”
Of course, Qingji would not leave Fan Li in Luoyi.
Because Qingji can predict that Luoyi will definitely become a place of right and wrong after this, and there will be constant open and secret fighting, and maybe one day the Jin army will come over and drive out the forces of Wu.
Qingji purely wanted to disgust the Jin State, and by the way, to contain the Central Plains princes led by the Jin State.
Relatively speaking, Fan Li's stay in Luoyi is of little use.
At this time, Wu Zixu said: "The king, the person who stays in Luoyi as Jieqing must have both civil and military skills, and be able to mediate between the princes of the Central Plains, so that the Jin people do not dare to act rashly." ”
"In the opinion of the minister, Tian Sui Tho is the most suitable."
Hearing this, Qingji bowed his head slightly and said, "Good! ”
Tian Sui Tho is indeed the most suitable candidate at present.
There is no doubt that Qingji's "Zhengqing" in the Zhou royal family is only in name, and what can really play a role is the "Jieqing" stationed in Luoyi.
Tian Sui Tho's military talent is very strong, he has a certain political acumen, and he can also speak well, and it is indeed good to stay in Luoyi as the secretary of the Zhou royal family.
Qingji, who thought about it, finally said: "I took Tian Sui Tho as the secretary and led 5,000 elite soldiers to garrison near Luoyi Wangcheng. ”
"The king is wise!"
Wu Zixu and Fan Li hurriedly agreed.
Five thousand people, not much, not much, but it will definitely be able to play a certain deterrent role in the Jin Kingdom.
"King, the minister has a matter, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"
Wu Zixu's face asked hesitantly.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"The king, the minister thinks that the establishment of the Jing State is no longer important. Why didn't the king ban Jing and set up counties in Jingdi? ”
Wu Zixu lowered his head and said: "Now, my Wu State has enough strength to enter the Central Plains and compete with the Jin people." ”
"From Jingdi to the Central Plains, and the Jin State to compete for hegemony, if successful, the king can take advantage of the situation and call 'Uncle Fang'."
"If it doesn't work, the king should also retreat to Jingdi, and sit and control Jianghuai and Fangcheng like the Chu State back then, then the Jin people and the princes of the Central Plains should not be able to go south to attack my Wu State!"
