After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 63 Su'er's Family History
The State of Lu did not produce horses, so they either obtained them from the State of Jin, or transported them from the State of Yan in the north. Anyway, the number of chariots was limited, so it was enough.

It seems that it is difficult for the State of Lu to collect a large number of war horses, so Meng Di fell into contemplation looking at the map.

I had offended the Zhi family of the Jin State, so it was not wise to go hastily. The other choice was the Yan State, and the nomadic Shanrong tribe nearby, where there were many good horses.

But between the fiefdom and the Yan State, there is still a Qi State.

The Qi State has always been strong. Qi Huan Gong Xiaobai united the princes nine times, attacked the Shan Rong in the north, and attacked the Chu State in the south. He became the first overlord of the Central Plains and was rewarded by the Emperor Zhou.

After Xiaobai's death, the state of Qi prospered and declined, with frequent civil strife, the power of the Qing and the doctor became stronger, annexed each other, and began to abolish the monarch, and the national power was weakened again and again.

Although the state of Qi has weakened a lot, it has not taken Lu state seriously. It seized Yunyi more than ten years ago in the name of solving Lu's civil strife, and never returned it.Therefore, if a large number of war horses are obtained, how to pass through Qi State is a big problem.

"Would you like to visit Qi State?" Meng Di casually asked Su'er who was standing beside her with a candle.

"Do not want to."

Meng Di was startled when he heard the words, Su'er didn't like to talk too much, and rarely talked about the past, and she also heard from Li that she was from Qi.

"Is there someone you don't want to see?" Meng Di tried to ask.

Su'er put the candlestick down heavily, twisted her waist and left.

Uh, Mengdi was bored, and was a little puzzled. It was the first time since we met that Su'er was so emotional.

After looking at the map again, I finally felt a little worried and walked to the bedroom.

No candles were lit in the room, and in the moonlight, a slim white figure was vaguely seen sitting by the bed, his shoulders twitching, as if he was choking speechlessly.

Meng Di approached, gently opened the curtain of the bed, put his arms around the fragrant shoulders, his hands were wet and cold, they were covered with tears.

Compassionately wiping the tears off his face with his sleeve, he said softly: "Okay, we won't go to Qi."

Su'er leaned against Mengdi's chest and gradually calmed down. After a long time, she slowly raised her head and said softly: "I am from the Tian family."

Meng Di knew that the Tian family was a powerful family in the Qi State, and said gently: "It doesn't matter why you were born, what matters is that you are my Su'er now."

Su Er flashed a blush, bit her lower lip, hesitated, and said, "I am the daughter of Tian Rangju."

Tian Rangju!Seeing that Su'er's shy look is extremely cute, Meng Di was distracted for a while, and was about to kiss her, but suddenly heard these three words and came back to his senses.

"Could it be Sima Rangju?"

Su Er silently nodded.

The name Sima Rangju can be regarded as thunderous. Meng Di studied "Sima Fa" under Li Ling's discipline since he was a child.

"No matter how big a country is, warlike ones will perish; though the world is safe, one will be in danger if one forgets to fight.", "Don't rest when you run, worry about the enemy if he stops on the road." The words on the military book seem to flash before your eyes.

Li Ling also admired Sima Rangju very much, and told his story many times.

After the decline of Qi State, Jin State took the opportunity to attack Acheng and Zhencheng in Qi State. Yan State also went south to cross the river.

Qi Jinggong Chujiu went to the doctor due to sudden illness at a time of crisis. On the recommendation of the senior doctor Yan Ying, he worshiped Tian Rangju, a member of the Tian family who was fishing in the East China Sea at that time, as a general.

It can be said that although Chujiu is usually greedy for pleasure, he is still very reliable at critical moments. After personally interviewing him, he defied all opinions and boldly used Tian Rangju, who was not well-known.

Tian Rangju didn't live up to expectations, so he first took advantage of Zhuang Jia, the favorite minister who killed Chujiu, to establish his military prestige, and quickly took control of the army.

Then it was designed to attract the main force of the Jin army to attack the city, and sent surprise soldiers to attack from inside and outside.

The Yan army had just crossed the river, and when they heard the news, they hurriedly retreated. Tian Rangju turned his head around, and under the prestige of a great victory, crossed the river to pursue and regained all the lost ground.
In this way, he turned the tide with one man's power and expelled the Jin and Yan armies from the Qi territory. As a result, he was named the Great Sima of the Qi State, known as Sima Rangju, and the scenery was infinite for a while.

The forces in the court of Qi State are complicated, the Guo clan and the Gao clan have always controlled the government, and seeing the Tian clan's strength greatly increased, they slandered and framed him. I don't know whether it was due to pressure or because they were dissatisfied with the killing of the favorite minister, so Chujiu took the opportunity to dismiss him. Tian Rangju.

In fact, although Tian Rangju came from the Tian family, he was estranged from his family, obsessed with the art of war, not good at making friends, and even a little unkind, so no one spoke for him.

Although Yan Ying, who recommended him, repeatedly praised him for his literary ability to attract people and his military ability to intimidate the enemy, but this person was far-sighted and really worried that the Tian family would become big because of this, and he also sided with the Guo and Gao Er families.

After Tian Rangju went to the throne, he was depressed and died soon after.

Every time he talked about this, Li Ling couldn't help but sigh.

"No, my father was killed by the Guo and Gao families." Su'er's tears fell again, "What a hero my father is, how could he die of depression!"

"Your father is my father. If someone kills you, I will avenge you!"

Su'er stood up, bowed gracefully, and thanked: "My husband has such a heart, Su'er is satisfied, but the Guo and Gao clans are powerful, and my husband should not take risks for my private affairs."

Meng Di helped Su'er up, and blamed him: "Your business is my business, and you are not allowed to say these words in the future."

Su'er lowered her head and obediently responded, revealing a swan-like elegant neck, white and soft in the moonlight, which almost aroused Mengdi's lust again.

Just remembering the late father who was discussing his concubine at this time, he secretly scolded himself for being shameless, hurriedly cleared up his mood, and asked about the specific situation.

Tian Rangju is a frugal person. After the official worship of Da Sima, the mansion is also very simple. There is only one old servant serving him. In addition to studying the art of war, he teaches his daughter how to learn swords.

Su'er is talented and intelligent, especially in swordsmanship, he often draws inferences from one another, and surpassed his father when he was more than ten years old. Tian Rangju is both happy and regretful. It is a pity that if he is a man, he will definitely become a famous general in the world.

There are many fighters in Qi State, Su'er was a little older, so she went around looking for people to compete with each other from time to time, one day when she came back from the house, she found her father lying on his back on the couch, his face was black and his pillow was full of spitting blood.

Su'er was at a loss and knelt down in front of the couch and called loudly, Tian Rangju woke up leisurely, angrily told her daughter not to ask too many questions, and left Qi State immediately, and told her daughter that she had been rescued by the leader of the Yue State Li tribe when she was young, and had never been able to To repay his kindness, I hope that his daughter can fulfill his wish, and die suddenly after saying that.

Su'er has been aware of it since she was a child, and knew that her father must have been poisoned, but at this time, she was young and didn't know who would harm her father, so she went to ask Tian's help to bury her father.

Her father's last words made her very vigilant, and she secretly left Qi after the funeral.

"So, there are still many doubts about the death of father-in-law. For example, your old servant was not in the mansion at that time?"

When Su'er heard that her father was called her father-in-law, she felt relieved, gently held Mengdi's palm, and said softly: "At that time, I was in a mess, and later I found out that there is only my father in the house."
