Chapter Eighty-Eight: Lian Qi and Yan Yan
The carriage of the Yin-Yang family arrived at Songhai, and Dongjun and the moon god went to the deep mountains and valleys outside Songhai City, which was the retreat of Nangong, the elder of the Yin-Yang family.
The figures of the two of them weaved between the trees, and the ground beneath their feet flew by, leaving no trace.
Nan Gong was already waiting outside the bamboo house, looking at the figures of the two in the distance, stroking his snow-white long beard, and smiling gently.
Concubine Yan and Moon God stopped in front of him and saluted.
After returning the salute, Nan Gong led the two of them towards the bamboo house.
After taking his seat, Nan Gong first spoke: "The current situation in Songhai is the opportunity for our layout. ”
The Moon God's view of the Yin and Yang family is the key, and Nangong thinks how to gain trust. ”
Concubine Yan: "Your Excellency the Imperial Master has a very clear view of the situation in the world, if we are not consistent with the Qin State in this matter, then everything that the Yin and Yang Family has arranged before will become illusory. ”
Nangong "The old man of the Qin State will go to persuade him, and the two of them just start to arrange the preliminary things. ”
Concubine Yan and Moon God glanced at each other, got up to salute, and left.
Linzi City.
The white earth ushered in a carriage, and the flag of the Qin State at the rear of the carriage indicated the origin of the carriage, and the bells hanging at the four corners of the carriage shook with the sound of the wind, sending out the figure of tinkling bells.
A team of Qi troops escorted around, protecting the comfort of the envoys of the Qin State.
Outside Linzi City, the pawns and officials of the Qin State stood in the pavilion wearing fur jackets, looking up into the distance, and when they saw this convoy, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and it was good that there were no accidents.
A group of people left the pavilion under the leadership of the chief pawn and walked forward slowly, and the Qi army automatically stood on both sides, responsible for guarding.
The carriage slowly stopped under the driver's drive, and Chefu jumped out of the carriage, pulled down the ladder and saluted, "My lord, Qi has arrived in Linzi." ”
At this time, the pawn of the Qi State saluted and said, "Wang Zhen, the guest secretary of the Qi State, has seen the Qin envoy. ”
Qi did not receive who sent the envoy to Qi State, only knew that the person who came was an important minister, if he knew that the person who came was the prince and prince of Qi State, it was the most correct for Prime Minister Hou Sheng to come to greet him.
Yan Yan's figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and a voice sounded, "I've seen Wang Shangqing." ”
Wang Zhen got up and saw who the envoy of Qin was, he was shocked, and hurriedly saluted next time, "I don't know if the Taishi is here, and I hope the Taishi will forgive me." ”
Wang Zhen's words surprised the officials behind him, Taishi! This is the teacher of the Taishi of the State of Qin, the teacher of the King of Qin and the Taishi of the State of Qin.
The protector of the Qin State, the doctor of three things, the doctor of the three orphans, and the actual planner of many policies of the Qin State.
At this time, Fusu also appeared beside Yan Yan, looking at everyone.
After Wang Zhen saw Fusu, he already understood Fusu's identity, and saluted again, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The officials followed and saluted, and this time the envoys from the Qin State were too heavy, and they were already shocked.
The envoys of the Qin State to Qi are not only the important ministers of the current dynasty, but also the respect of the prince of a country, which shows how much the Qin State attaches importance to this envoy to Qi.
Yan Yan took Fusu out of the carriage, let Wang Zhen get up, and then followed him towards the city gate, and the two talked some simple words, looking for the information they wanted from each other's mouths.
Fusu listened carefully, constantly comparing what he had learned in his head.
After entering the city gate, he once again got into the carriage and headed towards the embassy arranged by the Qi State, and he would walk to the Qi State court tomorrow.
Wang Zhen took the letter of envoy of the Qin State handed over to him by Yan Yan and went to the palace of Qi alone.
The envoys of the two countries can only enter the court after submitting their credentials, which is etiquette, especially in the land of Qilu, etiquette is regarded as extremely heavy, and rudeness will be regarded as rude people and looked down upon.
Qin Embassy.
Fusu listened to Yan Yan analyze everything he had experienced today, starting from the conversation between the two sides after getting out of the carriage, Yan Yan slowly and in detail told Fusu about the scene at that time, and reproduced everyone's reactions and words.
Fusu: "According to the teacher's analysis, there were people in the team who were hostile to us at that time, and they were all influenced by that rumor. ”
"They don't know what the situation is, they don't know what the policy of the Qin State is, and even that incident didn't bring them a loss of interests."
"And they are just because Confucianism started, and they have echoed Confucianism."
Yan Yan "Yes, the annexation of the State of Qi to the State of Lu, Confucianism has become the leader of the hundred schools of Qi, in the land of the State of Qi, the words of Confucianism have greater power than the words of the King of Qi, and can make many people echo it. ”
"So the power in the hands of the King of Qi has been divided among the ministers."
"Prime Minister Hou Sheng, General Lu Dui, and Zong Zhengtian Kang jointly control the government of the entire Qi State, and the King of Qi has become a puppet without knowing it."
Yan Yan said this, looked at Fusu and continued: "Hou Sheng has the support of civil officials, and behind him are the hundred disciples led by Confucianism, Lu Dui controls the Qi army, and Hou Sheng is the first to look forward. ”
"Only one of the peasant families in Zong Zhengtian's hands who holds three points, the supporter is King Qi, but unfortunately this part of the people is always weak, and it is difficult to be the enemy of Housheng, who occupies the entire court."
"Hou Sheng is a famous Confucian contemporary Confucian, but what he thinks and does is completely without the so-called Confucian law of monarchy and courtiers, in order to ensure the power in his hands, it can be said that he does everything he can to suppress dissidents and win over courtiers."
"To be able to do this, the title of Confucianism has helped him a lot."
Fusu "Teacher is interrupted after victory as the entry point, and then control Confucianism?" ”
Yan Yan raised his head, "Yes or no, it is not wrong for Hou Sheng to be the object of Qin State's wooing, but there is no need to control Confucianism." ”
"Confucianism has no need to win over the Qin State."
"They pay attention to the duties of kings and ministers, and the etiquette rules have lost the soil for their existence in the current Qin State, so they can only be destroyed."
Yan Yan: "The Qin State has now embarked on a completely different path, the king survives with the people, and the people live with the king. ”
"The two complement each other to be able to go farther to the world, and the more basic teachings of Confucianism have become completely opposite paths, so only one of the two can exist, and Confucianism must disappear in the long river of history."
Time passed like this, one night passed, Fusu asked, Yan Yan answered, spoke, and striking.
At dawn, the carriage walked towards the palace of King Qi, and in the carriage, Yan Yan and Fusu were sitting.
"Qin's envoy Yan Yan and deputy envoy Fusu have seen King Qi."
King Qi: "Qin envoys are exempted." ”
"Take a seat."
The temple people moved to sit on the coffee table and placed it in the center of the main hall, and Yan Yan and Fusu were seated.
King Qi: "What is the so-called matter of the Qin envoy coming to Qi?" ”
Yan Yan "Back to the King of Qi, my king knows the oath of the Qin and Qi covenants, and the special minister came to Qi to tell the king of Qi, asking the king of Qi to send troops to attack Zhao and expand the territory of Qi. ”
King of Qi "Qin's strength to attack Zhao is enough, but Qi's strength is not sufficient, and Qin's envoy may be disappointed." ”
Yan Yan "The King of Qi said slowly, as the King of Qi said, the strength of the Qin State to attack Zhao is completely enough to defeat the Zhao State, why does my king still send his ministers to the Qi State, is to let the King of Qi understand that the Qin State always remembers the oath of the covenant. ”
"Again, all the kings who sit on the throne take it as their responsibility to expand their territory, and in order for the king to be able to get such great achievements, the Qi State only needs to send troops to attack Zhao State, Qinghe, Jibei and other places, and it can be easily obtained, and there is no need to worry about the Zhao army counterattacking and resisting."
King Qi "The map of Zhao is vast, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, why did the Qin envoy say that there is no need to worry about the Zhao army resisting." ”
"The king should know that the two countries of Han and Wei have died out, and the Qin army took the three northern parts of Zhao last year, and the soldiers pointed to Handan, and now it can be said that the Zhao army has been fully involved in the west by our country. ”
"When our country attacks Zhao, in order to resist the Qin army, Zhao will inevitably continue to send military horses to the western battlefield.
"The Kingdom of Qi can expand its territory so easily, why wouldn't the King of Qi do it?"
Yan Yan's words made the eyes of the ministers above the court shine, if what the Qin envoy said was true, then the Qi State could indeed quickly take the Qinghe and Jibei in a short period of time, and there was no need to pay much price.
King of Qi: "In case Zhao State does not transfer troops according to the Qin envoy's plan, then it will still be difficult for my Qi State to send troops to fight against Zhao State's army and horses." ”
Yan Yan "Don't worry about the king, the Qin army attacks Zhao, it is difficult for Zhao to move the army if he wants to, Han and Wei, Jinyang and two ways to march into Handan City, under the crisis of Zhao State, it is inevitable to draw troops to protect Handan City, otherwise Handan City is in danger." ”
"In this way, the Qinghe River and Jibei, which are closest to Handan, have become the source of troops to quickly support Handan."
The King of Qi thought about it, Yan Yan's statement made him very excited, according to Yan Yan's statement, if he continued, the Qi State would easily be able to get the two places in Qinghai and Jibei, so that the land of Qi would increase by one-fifth, and he would definitely leave a great name in the history of Qi State.
King Qi: "Qin envoy, please stay in Linzi for a while, and let the widow think about it." ”
Yan Yan: "If you are like this, the ministers will disturb more." ”
Yan Yan left the hall with Fusu, and the hall immediately began to be noisy, and the ministers of Qi had their minds about this matter.
King Qi: "Let's talk about it, whether to send troops to attack Zhao and take the opportunity to seize the territory of Zhao." ”
The two of them don't care about what happened above the main hall, they just need to wait for the results to come out.
Zhao Guo Tong Bao.
A group of captives composed of the Zhao army ran in the mountains and forests, thinking that Tongyu City was rushing, and they came to the city gate and asked to enter the city.
After Li Mu learned the news, he came to the city to look at the tattered and thin Zhao Jun wearing below, the Zhao Jun military uniform on them was still summer clothes, with branches and leaves and withered grass hanging on them, and they looked anxious.
Li Mu ordered them to enter the city, and then locked them in a barracks and began to question, and two days later, Li Mu received an answer.
They were rescued by the Mo family, and after successfully escaping from danger, the Mo family separated from them and continued to march towards the Qin army's military camp and began to attack the Qin army's military camp.
Li Mu did not place them in the army, but sent them back to the rear.
Two days later, another eighty captives came to Tongluo, all for the same reason, they were rescued by the disciples of the Mo family, and the dense disciples were still rescuing these captives.
Li Mu did the same, and in the following time, people kept coming from Tongyu City, with more than 100 people and less than 30 people.
At one time, there were only about a dozen people, and each of them had wounds on their bodies, and when they inquired, they were chased and killed by the Qin army, and the number of people was reduced from one hundred and twenty to about ten now.
Li Mu gritted his teeth after hearing this, so he issued an order to expel the Hou to start patrolling and searching in the mountains and forests, as long as there was such a situation, he would immediately go down to the Zhao army.
Jinyang.
Zhao Gao found Wang Jian again, and the two stood at the head of Jinyang City looking east, Zhao Gao, "General, I will leave here tomorrow and rush to Handan City to wait for the arrival of the general's soldiers and horses." ”
Wang Jian "Lord Zhao admires the art of war planning very much. ”
Zhao Gao shook his head, "What kind of plan is there down there, just do things according to the instructions of the Taishi." ”
"The general doesn't need to release the prisoners in the future, the number of people is enough, the general can release the false news of killing the disciples of the Mo family, so that Zhao Jun understands that there is no longer such a good thing, so as not to make Zhao Jun suspicious."
Wang Jian "understands below, and he will be instructed to go down." ”
Zhao Gao saluted, "I said goodbye." ”
Wang Jian "don't send it." ”
Wang Jian watched Zhao Gao disappear, and the captives of three hundred people, divided into such a batch, actually sent the elite of the Qin army to Handan City, and he had no doubts.
Yanguo Jicheng.
Yan Dan received the information sent by the thief, which recorded the information that the Qin army had killed more than 200 Mo disciples, Yan Dan didn't know whether it was true or not, but since the Qin army was so fearless, it must be true.
Yan Dan "always paid attention to the movements of the Qin army, and killed them at every opportunity to avenge his comrades." ”
Yan Dan's orders were passed down through the channels of the Mo family, and all the disciples of the Mo family began to be hostile to the Qin State and hateful to the Qin army.
Songhai.
Nan Gong left the bamboo house and sat in a carriage towards Linzi, this time his purpose was to persuade Yan Yan to agree to the plan of the Yin and Yang family.
Songhai City.
The moon god and Dongjun looked at the divination on the table, and the appearance was very strange, and the results they saw were not the same.
Dongjun: "The result is too strange, we need to wait." ”
The outcome of Nangong's trip is unknown, and I don't know if the plan of the Yin and Yang family can be carried out. ”
Concubine Yan stood up and walked towards the outside of the house, leaving a sentence that emanated through the air: "Just wait." ”
The moon god looked down at the results of the divination, purple flames rising from his fingertips, and resumed his astrology.
Linzi.
After a lapse of three days, the King of Qi summoned Yan Yan and Fusu again.
On the top of the main hall, King Qi looked at Yan Yan and said, "After thinking about it for three days, the widow decided to send troops to attack Zhao with the Qin State, and the envoy of Wang Qin conveyed the decision of the widow to the King of Qin. ”
Yan Yan: "Thank you, the king." ”
Next was a wine banquet, on which King Qi and Yan Yan toasted frequently.
Fusu looked at the faces of the ministers at the banquet, and under each smiling face, there was another look hidden.
There is indifference, enthusiasm, murder, and calmness, and their eyes are constantly alternating in the air, as if they have begun to fantasize about how to distribute the benefits after taking the two places, how to occupy more interests, and even in this matter, how to get rid of their enemies and seal everything he has.
