Chapter 17 Huai and Wu, Guan Zhong Qi

The Huai army took advantage of the night to break through Meili, and Wang Sheng moved all those people out of the city and registered them. These people have undergone a certain amount of military training, have good physical fitness, and are familiar with Wu Di, from which Wang Sheng selected 20,000 strong men to form an army. It is planned to move him and his family to Handi.

The rest of the people moved to Huaibei, and then tens of thousands of Huai people from Huainan came to cultivate here.

The territory of Wu was hundreds of miles, and the Huai State annexed it in this battle, and the territory directly expanded by more than one-third. It's just that it takes a lot of time to digest it.

Wang Sheng did not kill Wu Hou, but brought the previous Wu Hou over, when Wang Sheng destroyed 80,000 elites of Wu State in a war, captured Wu Hou and many ministers, and wanted him to persuade him to surrender, but those people in Meili directly announced that Wu Hou was killed in battle, and then supported his son as Wu Hou.

The two of them are the Marquis of Wu before and after, and it can be said that the meeting is 'filial piety of the father and son', and finally the Marquis of Wu was abolished by Wang Sheng, moved to Huai'an, and sealed 300 households in the city, so that they can worship the temple.

After the state of Wu was destroyed, all the ministers in this city were deposed or killed, and then all moved to Huainan. These people have no land, no aristocratic status, if they can't display their talents as soon as possible and get an official and a half-job, they will soon be out of the ordinary.

After some combing, all the nobles in the Wu Kingdom were moved, and those who dared to resist were directly killed. Until winter came, Wang Sheng finally sorted out Wu Guo up and down.

At the same time, tens of thousands of Huaiguo people migrated, most of these Huaiguo people were the families of the soldiers who made meritorious contributions in this battle, and Wang Sheng directly rewarded these soldiers with 100 acres of land. Then send a large army to garrison the land of Wu to prevent rebellion, or other countries from attacking.

The population of Wu was about one million, and after the annexation of Wu by Huai, the population was about three or four million. In terms of population alone, only the Jin and Chu states can be compared with the Huai state.

Even though the Qi Kingdom is a big country in the East, the population plus the wild people in the wilderness is estimated to be more than two million. Because of the early development of Luoyi, the population has millions of people, but unfortunately, Zhou Tianzi can't control it.

After Wu Di settled down, Wang Sheng led the army back.

And just when Huai State annexed Wu State, Zi Jue also woke up from his deep sleep, and then saw that Huai Guo's luck Xuanniao had increased a lot, and the dark spots on Xuanniao's body had also doubled compared to before.

Next, Zijue checked the development of the past few decades, and not long after Wang Linxue's death, Zijue fell into a deep sleep. Unexpectedly, three generations later, this descendant of his would actually complete the feat of annexing the state of Wu.

It's just that such a big move has also made Bang Zhou's destiny a lot bigger.

This time Zijue woke up from his slumber, one was that the Huai State annexed the Wu State, and the other was that the Qi State had a change, and the son Xiaobai appeared on the stage.

As the beginning of hegemonic politics, the occurrence of this major historical event had a great impact on Huaiguo. Zijue took a look at the luck collected over the years, and then chose the lottery.

Wang Sheng used the power of the intelligence network to plunge the Qi State into civil strife, the Duke of Qi Xianggong was killed, and Gongsun was ignorant and established himself as the king. But although this grandson was ignorant and established himself as the king, he did not know how to win people's hearts, but began to act recklessly.

Although Gongsun Wuzhi killed Qi Xianggong, his level of governance was not as good as that of Qi Xianggong. After ascending the throne, he soon stopped being called even and valued by his father. directly opened the mode of arrogance and lasciviousness. But as a usurper who killed the king, how could he convince those doctors like this?

In addition, his reckless behavior, insulting those doctors lightly, and whipping them at the worst, has annoyed many people. Finally, the patience of the doctors reached the limit, and the doctor Yongli took advantage of his safari and killed him.

Because the Qi State Office has been killing each other since the Duke of Qi Ai, the sons of Qi are very vigilant, and whenever there is any trouble, they immediately run away to other countries for refuge.

Before King Xiang was killed, the undercurrent of Qi was surging, King Xiang was brutal, and the government of Qi was unstable, so several brothers of Qi Xianggong secretly fled. Gongzi fled to the country of Lu, while Gongzi Xiaobai ran to the country of Ju.

Sure enough, not long after they fled, Gongzi Ignorance killed Qi Xianggong, and a few months later, Gongzi Ignorance was killed again. At this time, there was no monarch in the Qi State, only Gongzi Jiao and Gongzi Xiaobai were outside, so the secretary of Qi invited the two sons to return to China and take the throne.

Gongzi Xiaobai and Gongzi Jiu set off from Ju and Lu respectively to return to Qi, Gongzi Jiu was worried that Gongzi Xiaobai would return to China first, so he sent Guan Zhong to lead people to block the road back to Qi and assassinate Gongzi Xiaobai, and he was escorted by the army of Lu to Qi State.

Guan Zhong led the soldiers to intercept and kill Gongzi Xiaobai, an arrow was shot, Gongzi Xiaobai fell to the ground on his back, Guan Zhong thought that Gongzi Xiaobai was dead, so he sent someone to report the victory. Gongzi Xiaobai deceived Guan Zhong by deceiving him, then hid in the car, and rushed to Linzi in Qi State day and night.

However, Gongzi Jie swaggered towards the Qi country, and only after walking for six days did he just reach the border of the Qi country. On the other side, the prince Xiaobai had already rushed back day and night, and with the support of the princes, he ascended the throne and became the Marquis of Qi.

After becoming the Marquis of Qi, the first thing Gongzi Xiaobai did was to gather a large army and attack the Lu State. Lu was also very unwilling to succeed in supporting Gongzi as the Marquis of Qi, so the two sides fought in Qianshi.

The national strength of Qi is stronger than that of Lu, and this battle took place in the territory of Qi, and Qi had the advantage, and Lu escorted Gongzi to the throne, but he didn't expect a big war, so the number was not large. This is not the opponent of Qi State.

In a big battle, the Lu army was defeated, and the Qi country won a great victory. So the Marquis of Qi informed Lu Hou with the power of a great victory, asking him to kill Gongzi Jie and his henchmen, otherwise he would continue to attack Lu State, and Bao Shuya, who protected Gongzi Xiaobai's return to China, hurriedly dissuaded, "Your Excellency, if you want to lead the troops to fight, your subordinates can do it, but if you want to glorify the Qi State and threaten the world, you have to manage Zhongzhong, and please forgive him." ”

Qi Hou said: "The public rescues the orphan in danger, why don't you want to be the prime minister, but recommend Guan Zhong, who once wanted to kill the orphan, as the prime minister?" ”

Uncle Bao said: "The minister and Guan Zhong have known each other since childhood, and their intelligence is superb, if the king can ignore the past suspicions and appoint Guan Zhong as the prime minister, Guan Zhong will definitely swear to serve his life, and the country of Qi will prosper!" ”

"In addition, the name of the king's mercy will also be praised by all nations, and when the time comes, the wise and wise people of all countries will surely compete to vote."

Qi Hou immediately agreed, and then deceived Lu Hou into sending Guan Zhong back to Qi for questioning.

Lu Guo was not an opponent, so he had to promise to kill Gongzi Jiao, and then sent Guan Zhong back.

Guan Zhong thought that he would definitely die this time, but when he arrived in Qi State, he saw his friend Bao Shuya. Uncle Bao immediately said to Guan Zhong that he had recommended Guan Zhong to Qi Hou, because he was worried that Lu Hou would not release him, so he used the excuse that he would bring him back to China to kill him.

After Qi Hou met Guan Zhong, he asked him about governing the country, and Guan Zhong answered them one by one. Qi Hou was overjoyed, so he worshiped Guan Zhong as the prime minister, and Uncle Bao as the big admonition.

......

When Duke Huan ascended the throne, he wanted to worship Uncle Ya as a phase, but Uncle Ya refused, recommended Guan Zhong, and said: This Wang Zuo's talent can be used to become a hegemon. - "Historical Records: The Qi Family"
