I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 91 This is the king's killer!

There are many forms of alliances. The general alliance is nothing more than mutual trust and cooperation, and the second is the alliance under the city that many people are familiar with.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were more types of alliances, such as the "Alliance of Sacrifice" with equal status, and the alliance of princes who acted as younger brothers, and many other forms of alliances.

The envoy of Weiguo was called Qu Yuan (qúyuàn), and he was already a very old man.

Seeing Zigong's strange expression, Zhiyao asked, "Why?"

Zigong said: "The envoy of Wei is my teacher's friend."

Oh!It turns out that Qu Yuan and Confucius are friends, right?

Zigong said, "I'm already 93 years old."

Zhiyao was completely stunned.

what! ?

No wonder Yuan Yuan looks so old, she is already 93 years old?This is not just as simple as longevity, it can be called auspicious!
Zhibi obviously knew about Qu Yuan, and it was most likely because Qu Yuan had lived a long enough life that he had heard of him, and he might even have had contact with him.

So, even though Weiguo's current situation is very bad, Qu Yuan who came here as an envoy still received a courtesy.

Although Qu Yuan is too old and toothless, he can still speak clearly when he deliberately maintains his pronunciation.

"Can you make a alliance?" Qu Yuan asked.

Zhibi would not agree to such a request, which seemed absurd compared to the current situation, just because Qu Yuan became auspicious, and silently shook his head to express his rejection.

The current development of the war is that the Wei capital "Puyang" is already in danger of falling, how can the younger brother of the Jin State once again satisfy the appetite of the victor.

Qu Yuan was silent for a while, and then said: "The alliance under the city is also acceptable."

With different alliance methods, the disadvantaged party needs to pay different prices.This is why Wei Junyuan sent Qu Yuan over to discuss.

If it is at the level of the League, the price Wei Guo pays is only to be the younger brother of the Jin State again, and pay an appropriate amount of protection fees every year.

In the case of the alliance under the city, the Kingdom of Wei is still the younger brother of the Kingdom of Jin, and the protection fee that should be paid every year is not small at all, and the city needs to be ceded to the Kingdom of Jin, and the amount of money and population that should be paid is also fixed.

Zhixuan glanced at Zhiyao first, then looked at Zhao Yang and asked if he would agree with his eyes.

They were able to break through the palace city and seize Wei Junyuan and the dignitaries of the Wei state, and even have the ability to sweep the rest of the Wei state after capturing "Puyang". The question is, is it appropriate to destroy the Wei state now?
Zhao Yang said in a low voice, "The rebellion in the country has not yet been eliminated."

That's right, the Fan and Zhongxing clans were defeated, but they hadn't been completely defeated yet.

This time Jin went to "Puyang" for nearly four months to fight fiercely. In addition, it has used a large number of troops for three consecutive years. It is not wrong to be able to wipe out the Wei country. Won't you go all out with Jin?

If the Jin State had not experienced civil strife, even if it had used its troops wantonly for three or four consecutive years, the Jin State would not be afraid to fight to the death with Zheng and Song.
Don't forget that there is a rising hegemon in the south. Wu State defeated Chu State successively to become the new southern overlord, and later defeated Yue State to make the rear stable. Next, it should go north to challenge Jin State.

Zhixuan looked at Qu Yuan, and said slowly: "Marquis Wei, please let go of the palace ban and prepare to sacrifice. The alliance platform is built to facilitate the formation of alliances outside the city."

The Jin army must enter the palace city of Weiguo. Only in this way can it leave enough memorable lessons for Weiguo.

Letting Weiguo prepare for "sacrifice" is another kind of spiritual oppression, telling Weiguo the next fact that they are powerless to resist.

The alliance ceremony was not held inside the Miyagi, but outside the city, it was the last shred of shame left by Zhizhu to Weiguo.

Qu Yuan replied, "I need to report to my widow."

It's a process.

Wei Junyuan's brain is not broken as a prerequisite, what else can he do except agree?

Yuan Yuan left, and he needed to go back and tell Wei Junyuan that it was time for the monarchs and ministers of the Wei state to discuss how many cities, population, and money would be allocated to satisfy the appetite of the Jin state.

When Wei State and Jin State were negotiating, other parties did not stop.

Zaiyu successfully met Tian Qi, the current head of Qi State in "Puyang" city, and explained why he left. Whether the Qi army should accept Zhiyao's proposal also needs to be discussed internally.

Afterwards, the news that the Wei State was about to enter into an alliance with the Jin State passed, and the spirits of the dignitaries of the Qi State were all vented at once.

What is the situation in the city of "Puyang" now?

Zhongxing and Fan were the first to stop resisting, and even became Zhi's side.

Weiguo itself was not strong, most of their troops were wiped out in the battle on the city wall, and there were less than [-] soldiers left in the palace city.

There were not many soldiers of Zheng State and Song State in the city of "Puyang". The Jin army entered the city and fought for a while.

The Qi army gathered outside the palace city currently has a scale of 8000 to [-] people. It is unknown how many Qi troops in the periphery have not been wiped out, but it can be guessed that there are not many left.

Zhiyao, who was waiting for the news, suddenly thought that Zigong was a Weiren. Thinking of such a thing, she began to observe Zigong's mental state, and was surprised to find that Zigong was only sad.

Zi Gong didn't say a word to dissuade Lao Zhi's family from attacking Miyagi and treat the guards in the city well.

what's going on?Is Zigong a person who has no national feelings, or even a heartless person?not really.

Zi Gong must have been saddened by what happened to Wei, but he is now a retainer of the Zhi clan.

According to the Three Views of the people in the Spring and Autumn Period, Zi Gong first wanted to help the Zhi family gain more benefits, that is, to abide by the integrity of being a minister of the family, and then use his own energy to help the mother country if conditions permit.

What the Jin State is currently doing is to follow the etiquette to deal with the Wei State. It did not slaughter the city after entering the city. At the same time, it did not carry out large-scale looting. drop.

For the state of Wei who betrayed the state of Jin first, being punished is a kind of justice, so what about Zigong who is a "Confucian"?
At this time, Zhiyao will definitely not ask Zigong how he feels, and will not be soft-hearted to Weiguo just to take into account Zigong's inner thoughts.

The Kingdom of Wei opened the palace ban, and after the Jin army took over the city gate, a group of about [-] Jin troops entered the city, symbolically taking over the city defense of Miyagi.

The flag of the Wei state that was flying on the city wall was not taken down, but the flag of the Jin state was erected, and it became the flags of the two countries and fluttered in the wind in Miyagi.

According to the previous rules, after Weiguo chose to surrender, the two countries confirmed that they would hold an alliance ceremony, and the Jin army should withdraw from the city of "Puyang", and then return the control of the city defense to Weiguo.

However, the Qi army did not give an answer, so instead of withdrawing from the city, the Jin army surrounded the palace city circle after circle.

"Zhiyao's move to make the Qi army suppress the flag is really a wonderful move." Zhao Yang was completely laughed out of anger.

The Jin State did not choose to destroy the Wei State because the current situation does not allow it. It can completely wipe out the Qi army but is willing to surrender and lose half. Isn't it to preserve the strength of the Qi State so that it can continue to fight against the Zhao family?
Gubu Ziqing didn't know what to say.

The person in charge of attacking "Puyang" is Zhiyao, which is related to the level of whether a country will be destroyed. If Zhixuan and Zhao Yang can intervene, it will be very shameless to intervene in how to deal with the Qi army.

In fact, when the benefits are big enough, Zhao Yang doesn't care about face at all. Otherwise, how could he kill Zhao Wu who has always followed the etiquette?

There is only one reason why Zhao Yang did not intervene. The change of the situation made it impossible for the Zhao family to remain tough, and it became very necessary to show weakness appropriately.

"If Wei cuts the land, where does the Lord want to get?" Gubu Ziqing asked.

This time, Weiguo was defeated until the signing of the alliance under the city. Since Zhishi was the main force going to Weiguo, it must be Zhishi who took the most of it.The Zhao family has the second most troops in the expedition team, so they will not lose their share.

Then, which cities you want to obtain the cession of Weiguo belong to the scope that you can fight for.

As a counselor, Gubu Ziqing, the meaning of his existence is to help Zhao Yang solve problems, and only by completing some difficult things can he show his value.

Zhao Yang thought for a while and said, "It's enough for the Chinese generals to be the masters, and I won't fight with them."

Gubu Ziqing wondered if the person in front of him was Zhao Yang, but after thinking about it, he understood Zhao Yang's strategy.

"That's right, the Zhao family can't compete with the Zhi family now, maybe it's better to satisfy the Zhi family's appetite again and again? When Zhishen is in charge, he can get back his capital and profits." Gu Buziqing thinks that Zhao Yang must be like this idea.

Later, Tian Qi came over and expressed his willingness to raise the flag.

In this way, after the Jin army disarmed the Qi army, they took the opportunity to eliminate the trembling Zheng army and Song army, and then began to withdraw from "Puyang" in an orderly manner.

Zhiyao rejected some people's suggestions to continue to control the city defense, and said with a smile: "I can enter once, and then I can enter again. If the state of Wei repeats itself, it is heaven's desire to destroy it."

Without the friendly army to defend the country, how many troops do they have?
Next, some city walls of "Puyang" were destroyed again. It is not possible to repair the collapsed city walls in a short period of time, and Jin people will not be blind. If they find something wrong, they will fight again. It will be nothing if they capture the city. difficulty.

Surprisingly, Zhiyao received an order to build a meeting platform, with Zhao Bolu as his deputy.

Don't think it's a hard job, it's an honor to be in charge of supervising the construction of the alliance platform, and an unknown person can even be famous in history.

With the development of the war to the present stage, as long as the monarchs and ministers of the Wei State do not mess around, not only will the State of Wei submit to the State of Jin again, but it will also mean that the intervention of the princes in the internal turmoil of Jin will be contained.

In the future, will the princes form an intervention army again?With Wei Guo as the "chicken" used as a deterrent, and Qi State so that even the ritual vessels can be looted, it is unlikely that they will continue to interfere in Jin's internal affairs.

Zhiyao, who was supervising the construction of the Alliance League, suddenly got the news that Wei Junyuan was dead!
In the same year, less than a month apart, the two monarchs died in the same city?
This……
