Current userName:starrysky04 "Oh? The Zhou Dynasty has fallen?" King Jiuyi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Fan Yuzhi's explanation, and then laughed and said, "Hahaha, it's good to die, it's good to die!" I think my ancestors were also the famous Jiang Rong clan in the Zhou Dynasty more than 500 years ago, but they were conquered by King Xuan of Zhou, and they had to enter the land of Jiuyi in this wild jungle, and were forced to live in seclusion here for more than 500 years.
Fan Yuzhi listened to what the King of Jiuyi said, and finally understood that the ancestor of the King of Jiuyi was originally the Jiang family of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, no wonder he was so proficient in the language of the Central Plains.
"Congratulations to the king of Jiuyi for avenging this great revenge without much effort, I wonder if the king can let Fan's soldiers and civilians enter the city to temporarily live and recuperate, in order to avoid the pursuit of thieves, Fan is grateful. Seeing that King Jiuyi was so happy, Fan Yu took advantage of his excitement and pleaded with King Jiuyi again.
The King of Jiuyi listened to Fan Yuzhi's flattering words, and his heart was naturally happy, but for the sake of prudence, he replied loudly to Fan Yuzhi: "General Fan, since you and your army can pass through the Left Ear Creek of the Water of Death in the Land of Jiuyi and the Longquan Mountain in the Valley of the Dead, it must be the will of the God of Jiuyi, and my King of Jiuyi will naturally not disobey the will of the God." However, for the sake of safety, before we have fully figured it out, this king can only allow you and your guards to enter the city alone, and after mutual understanding and trust, he will let your army enter the city, what do you think?"
"This must not be, the general is the commander of my three armies, how can he easily enter Jiuyi City alone, if there is any mistake, what should the soldiers of the three armies do?" Yang Duanhe listened to the conditions of the Jiuyi King on the side, and immediately dissuaded Fan Yu.
Clinker Fan waved his hand to refuse Yang Duanhe's dissuasion, and said very calmly: "Eh, the lives of the soldiers of the three armies are now in my hands, if I don't take the lead, I'm afraid that the whole army will be trapped and die here." Brother Yang must not dissuade me, Fan has his own sense of proportion. β
And Tianqian, who was on the side, also comforted Yang Duanhe and said: "General Yang, don't worry too much, General Tianqian will personally escort the general into the city, and he will definitely do his best to protect the general." β
Yang Duanhe heard him say this, knowing that no matter how much he persuaded him, it would be useless, so he had to nod his head and tell Tianqian: "Okay, the safety of the general depends on the Tianqian brothers, if there is any emergency, the Tianqian brothers can immediately raise the fire as a signal, and Yang will lead the army into the city to rescue the general." β
"Don't worry, Tianqian knows what to do. β
"Brother Yang, after I leave, I will ask you to take care of everything here. Fan Yuzhi also instructed Yang Duanhe at this time.
"No, the general, but please rest assured, Yang Duanhe will do his best to stabilize everything, just wait for the general to return safely. Yang Duanhe listened to Fan Yuzhi's instructions, and then saluted Fan Yuzhi and received the order.
After the three of them discussed and settled, Fan Yuqi replied loudly to the King of Jiuyi above the ancient city: "Okay, since the king wants to have a deep friendship with Fan, how can Fan refuse? Fan will enter the city alone and pay homage to the king. β
"Hehe, it seems that General Fan is a happy person, so don't say much, everything will be explained in detail after entering the city, please!" King Jiuyi listened to Fan Yuzhi's words, and admired his courage and insight very much, so he was very happy to order someone to welcome him into the city.
At this moment, Linzi of Qi is also welcoming several distinguished guests from the West, one of them is wearing a jade silk hat and a splendid court dress, while the other two are wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, like servants. These three people are Chu Guochun, Shenjun Huang Xie, the eldest lady of the public loser, and one of the four guests of Xinling.
If Yan, Zhao, Wei Sanjin and Qin were the ones who came from behind to become stronger, then Qi was one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. As the country of the east, the earliest king of Qi was Jiang Shang, the prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty, who made the greatest contribution to him, and King Wu of Zhou took the country of Qi in the east as his fief in order to show his praise for him. Jiang Qi, who was established by Jiang Shang, gradually became powerful and wealthy when he continued to annex neighboring countries such as Ji Guo. Among the kings he inherited, Duke Xiaobai of Qi Huan was one of the most prosperous princes who expanded the territory of Qi. It's a pity that after the death of Duke Huan, the five princes of Qi State in order to seize the throne, so that there was a large-scale civil strife in Qi State, and finally collapsed the hegemony of Qi State, which was extremely strong. In the days that followed, the State of Qi gradually weakened due to the constant internal struggle for power, until the Le Yi of the Yan State broke through more than 70 cities of the State of Qi, and the State of Qi was almost on the verge of collapse. Although there was a recovery of the country and the recovery of the cities lost by the Qi State, it was difficult to recover the fate of the decline of the Qi State after all. Therefore, the King of Qi suggested that he was very happy to hear that it was Chun Shenjun of the Chu State who came to visit the Qi State to discuss the establishment of the alliance, after all, the Qi State at this time no longer had the capital of the hegemon, but could only rely on the Chu State, which was relatively strong in military strength at that time.
The news of Chunshenjun's visit to Qi soon reached the ears of Qi Wangjian, so when Chunshenjun was still in the suburbs of Linzi City, he had already sent the prime minister of Qi to lead the honor guard to greet him.
"Hou Sheng, the prime minister of Qi State, has been here to welcome Chunshen Jun for a long time, and Lord Chunshen has worked hard all the way. Hou Sheng saw Chun Shenjun's car coming slowly in the suburbs, so he led his honor guard to take the initiative to greet him, and shouted hello to Chun Shenjun's car.
Chunshen, who was in the car, suddenly felt that his car had stopped, and he heard someone outside the car shouting at his car, so he immediately opened the curtain of the car, and saw the mighty Housheng waiting for the etiquette team outside the car, and was suddenly surprised and happy: "Oh, it turned out to be the rear minister, how can you drive to welcome Chunshen, I am really ashamed of me." β
"Eh, where is Chun Shenjun talking about, not to mention coming from afar, my king is worried that Chun Shenjun will suffer from the fatigue of the journey, and he has specially ordered Hou Mou to wait here to greet him, but with the friendship between Chun Shenjun and Hou Mou, I will personally come to pick up Chun Shenjun once, what's the matter?" Hou Sheng heard Chun Shen's words, so he immediately bowed his hand and said with a smile.
"The latter is really worthy of my best friend of Chunshen, Chunshen is really fortunate for three lives, and three lives are lucky. Chun Shen listened to Hou Sheng's respectful words, and his heart was naturally very moved, so he thanked Hou Sheng again and again.
"Okay, okay, I look at Chun Shenjun, you and I don't have to be so polite and redundant, my king has been waiting for Chun Shenjun in Linzi City for a long time at the moment, Chun Shenjun should go with me to see King Qi." After Hou Sheng and Chunshen exchanged polite greetings, they went straight to the point.
"What the post-prime minister said is very true, then there is a post-labor minister to lead the way for Chunshen. Chun Shen said as he bowed his head to Hou Sheng.
"Please. Hou Sheng immediately raised his hand and invited Chunshen to join together. It's just that he watched Chun Shenjun come alone, but there were so many salutes, just the horse that Chunshen was carrying the goods behind the car, was as white as his training, with a high head and a long neck, and a gorgeous frost goose, which made Hou Sheng can't help but feel a few more envious feelings in his heart. He secretly thought to himself in his heart, although he was the prime minister of Qi State, but his aura of natural treasure was far inferior to that of a retired prime minister of Chu State, so he was naturally unwilling in his heart.
Linzi, the capital of Qi, was the first fiefdom given to Jiang Shang by King Wu of Zhou, and its name was Yingqiu. Since the repeated wars between Qi and Ji, in order to prevent the invasion of Ji, Qi Xiangong expanded and strengthened Yingqiu City, so that its eastern city wall was on the verge of Zishui, so this Yingqiu City was gradually called Linzi City. And it was by relying on this ancient capital established by his ancestors that King Jian of Qi was able to survive safely in the eastern corner of the Central Plains and avoid the war between the Qin and the Three Jin Dynasty in the Central Plains.
When Qi Wangjian heard that Chunshen had come to visit Linzi again, he took advantage of the time when the ministers went to court early this morning, and led hundreds of officials to wait for a long time in the main hall in the capital of Qi.
"There is an envoy of the State of Chu, Chun Shenjun, who is ordered to worship the King of Qi!" Just when the King of Qi and the others were anxious, suddenly a waiter called loudly outside the hall.
"Xuan, Xuan!" King Qi heard the servant's report, and immediately shouted in a hurry.
"The envoys of the Xuanchu State go to the palace!" the eunuch received the order of the King of Qi, and immediately shouted loudly at the top of his voice.
After a while, Chunshen, under the guidance of Hou Sheng, slowly came to the top of the Great Hall of Qi Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, Chu Guochunshen, meet His Royal Highness the King of Qi. When Chun Shen arrived at the bottom of the hall, he immediately shouted to the King of Qi and bowed. Gong Rong and Thief Sheng, as Chunshen's attendants, of course, also knelt down and bowed down with Chunshen.
"Chun Shen Jun hurry up, since the Chu State has been allied with my Qi State, then Chun Shen is the guest of my Qi State, so why should he be polite?" When the King of Qi saw Chun Shen bowing, he immediately shouted to him to get up.
"His Royal Highness King Xie Qi is very gracious. Chun Shen and the other three received King Qi's words, and slowly got up.
"Lord Chunshen just formed an alliance with my Qi country a few days ago, and it has not been long since he returned to China, why did he send another envoy to pay homage to my Qi country so soon? Could it be that the king of Chu has the intention of repenting?" After Chunshen got up, the king of Qi asked Chunshen very puzzled.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi will be mistaken, my king is bent on cultivating the alliance with the Qi country, and he has no intention of breaking the alliance. This time, I have repeatedly asked my subordinates to bring better news to His Royal Highness the King of Qi to consolidate the foundation of our Qi-Chu Alliance. β
"Oh, what good news, tell me quickly, and hear it from the king. As soon as King Qi heard the good news, he immediately anxiously asked about Chunshen.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi can know the current situation, the Qin State is a strong country, and has now monopolized the Han and Zhao countries in the Three Jin Dynasty, and has marched eastward, intending to annex Yan, Chu and the Eastern Yu Kingdom Qi. β
"This king naturally knows that this is the reason why my Qi State and the Great Chu Alliance are fighting against the enemy. β
"Yes, the alliance to reject Qin is the current superior policy, but it is more effective to use the strength of the two countries to resist Qin than to attack Qin with the strength of many countries, and the king of Qi can know that today there is a Yan State that has launched a strategy of conniving and rejecting Qin, and has now united the four kingdoms of Han, Wei, Zhao, and Chu?" Chun Shen continued.
"Oh, no one has heard of this, but I didn't expect Yan Guo to attack so quickly, not only to unite the Three Jins, but even my good ally Chu State to join his ranks. When King Qi heard Chunshen's words, he immediately looked unhappy, and the words in his mouth became a little bitter.
"Since Su Qin put forward the strategy, it has been agreed by the countries as the only way to retreat Qin, and then there are rhino head Gongsun Yan and Wei Gongzi Wei Wuji several times with this strategy to force the Qin army to retreat the strong male division, with the current situation, only by doing this policy again, can we ensure the safety of the six countries. Therefore, today's Chunshen is also here for the matter of the joint column, if you can let the king of Qi and your army join the list of the joint column, then the retreat from Qin is just a matter of day and night. "As a discerning artist, Chunshen has always been easy to persuade the king, so this time he is also talking endlessly.
"Chunshenjun, you have traveled all the way to my Qi country, you must have suffered from the fatigue of the journey, it is better to let the queen minister take you to the embassy to rest for a while, this king has ordered someone to prepare a thin banquet for Lord Chunshen. But how did Chunshen know that he had been talking about it in his chest, but the king of Qi didn't listen to it, so he was in a hurry to let Chunshen go to rest first.
"But the matter of the conspiracy..."Chun Shen couldn't help but be very embarrassed when he saw King Qi behaving like this, and hurriedly asked.
"No one will consider the matter of cooperation, and Lord Chunshen can just rest. King Qi just said to Chunshen in a high-sounding clichΓ©, and then shouted to Hou Sheng, "Queen, Lord Chunshen's diet and daily life will trouble you to take care of it, if there is anything wrong, the widow will ask you for the crime." β
"No, please rest assured that Hou Sheng will take care of him and will never live up to the king's trust. Hou Sheng received the will of the King of Qi, and after habitually bowing to the King of Qi, he casually raised his hand and said to Chunshen, "Lord Chunshen, please." β
Lord Chunshen saw that King Qi and Hou Sheng sang and harmonized, obviously intended to send him away, although there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, but because of King Qi's face, he had no choice but to give up, and retreated with Hou Sheng.
Since Chunshen was expected to be sent back to the pavilion, he asked Hou Sheng to meet the king of Qi every day to persuade the king of Qi to join the Zong, after all, he had an agreement with Gong Rong, and only by persuading the Qi State to join the queue of the Hezong could the king of Chu take the position of the chief of the covenant. But who knows, every time he asks for a recital, he is rejected by the King of Qi on the grounds that "there are important matters in the court that need to be dealt with urgently", and he is not seen behind closed doors. After a few days, Chunshen was already anxious about tea and dinner, and he was restless.
His actions were seen by Gong Rong and Thief Sheng, who had been on the side, and Gong Rong saw that Chunshen's face was gloomy, so he asked him: "Lord Chunshen has been closed for a few days, presumably King Qi is not too careful about the matter of Hezong, right?" Current userId: 7000714
