In the second year of Guan Zhong's reign, the strength of Qi has gradually become stronger, and Lu Xiaobai is very proud that he brought Guan Zhong to Qi State.

Then I learned that the monarch of Qu Guoguo was actually disrespectful, thinking that it was rude to let a white body be above the princess.

Lu Xiaobai was immediately furious.

Since he ascended the throne, he has been full of spirit, and he knows that the military strength of Qi is strong, so he has a little intention of showing off Guan Zhong's talent in his heart, and wants to crusade against Qu State.

Then he said to Guan Zhong: "Qu Bo is a lowly person, he is rude to Qi State, and he should be crusaded against if he comes and does not deal with him." ”

Guan Zhong knew in his heart that now was not the time to use force against the princes, the reform of the Qi State had just begun, and it would become stronger and stronger in the future.

A small country like Qu can barely fight with Qi now, and when the reform is effective and the army is overwhelmed, it can only surrender on its knees.

So he persuaded: "Monarch, now is not the time to make a move against Qu Guo. ”

Lu Xiaobai didn't care, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ah Zhong, Lone knows that the Qi State should not compete with the Qu State for a while, but that Qu Bo is really hateful, he actually said that you are from the countryside, and it is very ridiculous to be promoted to the appearance of a country."

If you laugh at Lonely, it's fine, but for Ah Zhong like this, Lone will never tolerate it!

This time, let Qu Guo see the soldiers of Qi State, and let him know that Ah Zhong has been Qi for two years, and there are strong soldiers in Qi, see who dares to talk nonsense. ”

Guan Zhong persuaded again: "Monarch, Guan Zhong doesn't care about those people who are in vain, now we should continue to implement the salt and iron official camp, collect taxes, promote the integration of soldiers and people, strengthen the army and train soldiers, and wait until ......."

Lu Xiaobai stood up directly, and said in charge of Zhong's hand: "Ah Zhong, all the internal affairs of Qi are handed over to you, and Qu Guo will go to teach you a lesson." ”

Seeing that Lu Xiaobai insisted, although Guan Zhong has always regarded himself as a subordinate, the two have known each other in Weimo, and Guan Zhong has always been a little conniving with Lu Xiaobai.

After thinking about it, even if this battle was lost, it would not have any effect, so I couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm, so I had to respond to him.

Seeing that Guan Zhong agreed, Lu Xiaobai was very happy, and then he went directly to Vaqu with Dr. An Ning.

I have to say that the army of Qi has been rectified by Guan Zhong, with strict discipline and a degree of advance and retreat, and it is indeed a strong army in the world.

Lu Xiaobai liked the surrounding scenery very much, and said with a hearty smile: "This place is called Changye, so I will line up here, and when the Qu army comes over, and then fight with it, I will definitely let Qu Bo personally go to Qi Country and apologize in front of Ah Zhong." ”

The war between the Qi State and the Qu State belonged to the ritual war.

The wars between the Zhuxia countries and the barbarians are naturally endless, and the previous conquests of the Son of Heaven against countries that do not obey the rule of Chu are also real battles, and there are many casualties.

But this time it was different, the two sides fought according to the etiquette system, not to invade the land of Qu Kingdom, so both sides of the battle were more restrained.

Although Qu Guo was defeated in successive battles, Qu Bo was just annoyed and angry, but he was not worried that Qi Guo would destroy himself like this.

So the two nations formed a formation in the land of Nagano, marching forward to the beat of drums until they stopped beyond the range of their bows and arrows.

Dr. An Ning won the battle again and again this time, and said in high spirits: "Pass my general order, beat the drum and cheer!" ”

"Knock knock!"

The drummers of the Qi State beat the drums, and the soldiers of the Qi State moved forward, and then Dr. An Ning saw that the Qu army was motionless, and he did not see the drums cheering.

"Why doesn't Qu Guo beat the drums and cheer?"

The chariot of Qi State charged, killing and wounding many people in Qu State, but the army of Qu State still did not move.

Dr. An Ning was surprised, but still said, "Beat the drum!" ”

So the Qi State beat the drum again, and the arrows fired in a volley, although the Qu State was protected by a shield, there were still many soldiers who were directly killed by the arrows.

But even so, Qu Guo remained motionless, and even the formation did not change, which made Dr. An Ning feel very strange.

"What does Qu Guo mean by this?

They lined up and came out, obviously wanting to engage our army, but our army had already beaten the drums twice, but Qu Guo did not beat the drums once, and did not hang the battle exemption card, which was not in line with battlefield etiquette. ”

Doctor An Ning was no longer as happy as before, thinking that Qu Guo looked down on him, so he frowned and shouted: "Drumming! ”

So the Qi country beat the drum again, and the soldiers moved forward again, this time the drum of the Qu country finally sounded, and the drums of the dong dong urged the soldiers on both sides to move forward.

But the soldiers of Qi who have experienced the three-way drum have already breathed a sigh of relief, and Dr. An Ning is not the kind of unparalleled fierce general, who can drive the morale of the soldiers.

On the contrary, Qu Guo's soldiers were highly morale and very brave, breaking up the formation of Qi and coming towards the Chinese army.

The guards who had already been instructed by Guan Zhong to go directly with Lu Xiaobai, who was pale-faced, left the battlefield, and left it to Dr. An Ning, who was the commander of the army.

Lu Xiaobai just came to see the excitement, but now the excitement of the people of Quguo can't be seen, and if he doesn't run, it is estimated that Guan Zhong will personally bring a large amount of gold and silver treasures to Quguo to redeem the monarch.

Lu Xiaobai returned to Qi in despair, in fact, this defeat is really nothing to Qi country, and a big country naturally has the willfulness of a big country.

Unless it is like the battle between Luo Guo and Huaiyi during the period of King Yi, it has not been able to recover for more than ten years.

Lu Xiaobai felt too embarrassed, he had no shame to face Guan Zhong, and he didn't dare to see Guan Zhong, so he could only use wine to kill his sorrows.

The state politics of Qi are in charge, and it doesn't make much difference whether he has him or not.

When Lu Xiaobai was addicted to wine, Mrs. Qi Xiyi was very distressed when she saw her husband's appearance.

"Monarch, you are depressed all day long, and you haven't seen Zhongxiang since you returned to China, this is not what a monarch should do."

Lu Xiaobai sighed, hugged Xiyi's soft body in his arms, and said, "Beloved, I really don't know how to meet Ah Zhong."

Ah Zhong is not only a courtier, but also a close friend of Lonely.

If I am a fish, Ah Zhong is water, if I am a bird, Ah Zhong is the sky, I can't do without him, not him without me.

For the sake of brotherly friendship, he left his home country and came to the country of Qi to assist me.

I also said that I wanted the people of the world to see Ah Zhong's ability, but I was negligent and defeated by Nagano, and the people of the world must think that Ah Zhong has a false name, and I am ashamed.

What should I do if Ah Chung gets angry and abandons me? ”

Xiyi saw that her husband didn't even need to call himself lonely, so she knew that he must be very frightened.

She was a gentle, virtuous and courteous woman, and soothed: "Husband, you also said that Zhong Xiang is your best friend.

The concubines heard that if the monarch treats the courtiers like siblings, the courtiers treat the monarch like a heart.

You treat Zhong Xiang so much attention and trust, Zhong Xiang must know it, why did he leave you because of this incident? ”

"Monarch, Zhong Xiang begs to see!" The eunuch walked into the road.

Lu Xiaobai swooped out of Xiyi's arms, and said busily: "You all go down." ”

Those musicians and dancers hurriedly left from the side of the hall, leaving only the guards and Lu Xiaobai and Xiyi in the hall.

Lu Xiaobai tidied up his appearance, stood up and said, "Please come in." ”

Guan Zhong walked in from outside the hall, Lu Xiaobai hurriedly greeted him, holding Guan Zhong's hand, with tears in his eyes, but he didn't know what to say, he just said: "Ah Zhong, I ......"

Guan Zhong held Lu Xiaobai's hand with his backhand, and a calm person like him was now full of tears, "Monarch, you don't need to say it." ”

Before Guan Zhong could say next, Lu Xiaobai directly said urgently: "Ah Zhong, do you really want to leave me?"

I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone to crusade against Quguo.

From now on, I will never act on my own, and you can't leave me. ”

"Xiaobai!" Guan Zhong said this title that had not been used for a long, long time, "The friendship between you and me is harder than gold and stone, how could I leave you?"

You crusaded against Qu Guo, and the minister didn't stop you, this is my fault as a courtier, how can I blame you?

You didn't blame me, and you compared the minister to water and the sky, and the minister really deserved it. ”

When Lu Xiaobai heard Guan Zhong call him Xiaobai, he felt happy, and when he heard Guan Zhong's words, he laughed directly.

He pulled Guan Zhong to sit down on the table, and said to his wife Xiyi: "Liangren, have you heard, Ah Zhong didn't blame me, he was still willing to stay in Qi Country to help me." ”

Seeing that her husband suddenly changed from decadence to radiance, Xiyi also smiled happily: "Zhong Xiang and you, like mountains and flowing water, are inseparable." ”

"Mountains and rivers?"

Lu Xiaobai muttered two sentences, liked this word very much, turned his head to the historian and said: "Qing, please record the mountains and rivers in the annals of history, in order to show the friendship between Lonely and Ah Zhong." ”

The historians of this era are quite stylish, and they would rather die than write nonsense, especially many historians are Luo's branches, and these historical books will be gathered in Luoguo, and the most complete history books in the whole world are Luoguo.

In the hall where Xiyi quietly left, Lu Xiaobai, who had regained his spirits, pulled Guan Zhong to discuss national affairs with great interest, but basically Guan Zhong was talking and he was listening.

Due to Lu Xiaobai's limited level, he still couldn't understand many of the subtleties in Guan Zhong's policies, and he needed Guan Zhong to explain to him, and then Lu Xiaobai was amazed and praised one after another.

This scenario has happened countless times in the past two years.

The result of this battle reached Luo Xiu's ears, but he just looked at the battle report, not only did he not worry, but smiled very happily: "The military strength of the Qi State is prosperous, if you appoint a general, you will win." ”

This is the difference in vision between the monarchs of large countries and the monarchs of small countries.

Leading the army were Lu Xiaobai and Doctor An Ning, two people who didn't know much about commanding troops, and Zhang Qi, who was the strongest commander in the Qi country, did not make a move.

In this case, the Qi army was still able to form a formation quickly in the chaotic process, and did not cause great casualties.

This proves that after two years of tempering, the Qi army has undergone qualitative changes compared with the period of Lü Wujiao.

The ending of Qi Huan Gong is a little emotional every time I think about it, it is a pity that the generation of heroes who respect the king and the king.

There are two more shifts in the afternoon, and there are 14,000 words in total today.
