Zhao Yang said "hmm", nodded, and replied:
"Mr. Ziming is a great talent in the world, and he can bring peace to the world! It would be a pity if he perishes like this!"
Dong Anyu seemed to have a plan in mind:
"Haha, please don't worry, my lord. Even if Mr. Ziming intends to retire, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. There are still many people in this world who don't want him to just retire!"
…
On the other hand, Fan Yang, on Shu Niu's suggestion, went to get a letter from Tian Qi of Qi State.
After Tian Qi received the letter, he narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully. Then he got up and went to see Chujiu, Marquis of Qi.
Although the Tian family of Qi State is a descendant of Chen Guogong's family, Tian Qi's generation has already established a strong influence in Qi State through a series of mercantilism mentioned before and various means of winning people's hearts. The basis of public opinion.
What followed was Tian's power in Qi State.
Back then, when Yan Ying was still alive, he was worried that the Tian family of Qi would vacate the monarchy sooner or later.
Now, the elderly Qi Hou Chujiu has long felt the threat from the Tian family.
However, although Qi Hou Chujiu wanted to change this situation, it was too late and there was nothing he could do.
Hearing that Tian Qi came to visit him, Qi Hou Chujiu could only treat him with courtesy. Tian Qi hurriedly stepped forward, and after performing the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, he opened his mouth and said:
"Your Majesty! In order to assist Lu Zhaogong, our Qi State captured Yunyi for him as a safe place. But now that Yang Hu is in power, he has taken Yunyi back privately. It is simply a deception. I heard that Yang Hu In recent days, he has been there and is ready to make a move, and he has even developed grudges with his neighbors."
"Yang Hu is determined to form an alliance with the Jin State and obeys the Jin State's words. Obviously, he wants to be detrimental to our Qi State. And the Lu State is the gateway of our Qi State, and there must be no room for failure. Yang Hu is a person to our Qi State and to the world. They are all huge hidden dangers. I think we should send out troops to attack Lu as a punishment!"
When Qi Hou Chujiu heard this, he said calmly:
"It is an ominous use of military strategists. I think that the defeat of Lu... needs to be considered in the long term..."
Unexpectedly, Tian Qi suddenly choked and replied:
"Your Majesty, why should we consider this matter in the long term? You must know that this matter is also related to the hegemony of our country of Qi! Has your Majesty forgotten your ambition of rejuvenation? Now that Yanghu is unscrupulous and wants to abuse his neighbors, Your Majesty can use this to raise righteous soldiers. How can you miss such a good opportunity if you don't want to be defeated?"
After hearing this, Qi Hou Chujiu couldn't help but be stunned, but then he sighed:
"Hey...I am old...too old!"
Tian Qi shook his head and said:
"Your Majesty, you must not say that. Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and you can do something! On the other hand, the Jin Kingdom has been declining day by day since Zhao Wenzi, and today it has directly offended all the princes. Now is the time Your Majesty must not miss this great opportunity to unite the princes and weaken the Jin State!"
"Now we only need to fight against Lu to win the hearts of the world. If your Majesty is so remiss in letting the alliance of Jin and Lu go, won't our country of Qi chill the hearts of all the princes in the world? So, please make a quick decision!"
Qihou Chujiu nodded slowly after hearing these words.
"Then... in your opinion, who should be sent there?"
Tian Qi immediately replied:
"Shangqing Guoxia, you can take on this important task!"
Perhaps it was because Qi Hou Chujiu was old, so he could only slightly nodded his heavy head and said:
"In that case, I will follow what you said! I ordered Guo Xia to lead 50,000 troops and send them to Lu!"
At this time, Yang Hu had just returned from Jin.
He was still worried about Meng Sunhe Ji's affairs, but suddenly he heard that Qi State had come to attack him, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
However, as the army pressed on, Yang Hu had to respond quickly.
As for Ji Sunsi and Meng Sunhe Ji, Yang Hu would not dare to keep them in the country. Therefore, Yang Hu immediately decided to drive Ji Sunsi himself, while Meng Sun He Ji's side was led by Lian Yang, the Prime Minister of the Meng family. He ordered the troops and horses and rushed directly to the front line in a mighty manner.
The two armies faced each other, and Yang Hu ordered to set up camp.
At this time, all the troops led by Guo Xia had already arrived and were waiting to work there.
After Yang Hu settled down for a while, he took Ji Sunsi, Meng Sunhe Ji, Gong Liyang and other generals to hold a pre-war meeting.
"Although Qi Division has arrived a few days earlier, it has come all the way from afar. Now that our army is here, if Qi Division is attacked at night, Qi Division will be in chaos if it is not prepared!"
I saw Yang Hu talking there, but Ji Sunsi didn't dare to say a word.
Although Yang Hu was nominally a retainer of the Ji family, the identities of master and servant seemed to be reversed now.
Nowadays, the entire Ji family is following Yang Hu's lead, and Ji Sunsi has become like a guest.
Therefore, Ji Sunsi would not object to what Yang Hu said.
And Ji Sunsi, who is the leader of the Three Huans, is silent at this moment. What about the others? How dare they answer the call?
When Yang Hu saw that no one dared to disobey him, he couldn't help but feel proud, and suddenly burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, you don't have to be so restrained and brainstorm ideas. I, Yang, am not a stubborn person. If you have any other ideas, just say it."
At this time, Meng Sunhe Ji was heard whispering from the side:
"It's just that... Qi Jun is probably well prepared. Why not... it's better to spy on the military situation first!"
Since the last time he went to Jin to present prisoners, Meng Sun Heji's dissatisfaction with Yang Hu had reached its extreme.
Although he did not dare to go against Yang Hu's wishes in public, he would still find some opportunities and seize the opportunity to have a few words with Yang Hu.
Moreover, what Meng Sun He Ji said was indeed correct. Yang Hu also thought about it for a moment:
"Well... what Dr. Meng Sun said is reasonable, but since it is a night attack, it can also be a spying move. Pass on the order! All soldiers must be prepared tonight!"
Yang Hu stopped asking questions and simply gave orders, telling everyone to prepare for a night attack.
He also sent people to spy on the military situation, and the spies soon came to report:
"Sir, the Qi camp is very stable at the moment. It seems that there is no alert. No fortifications have even been built in front of the camp!"
When Yang Hu got his reward, he was secretly happy at first, but then he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart, thinking to himself:
"No... the people of Qi saw our army approaching and were completely unprepared? This... is too strange! The imaginary is real, and the real is imaginary. When the two armies are fighting, how can there be no reason to be unprepared? ? Is there... some kind of fraud in this?"
Yang Hu put a hand on his chin, frowned, and thought seriously for a while.
"Could it be that...the night attack has been exposed? But I don't know where the news leaked..."
Suddenly, Yang Hu had another flash of inspiration:
"That's right... then why don't I follow the plan? Let Ji Sunsi and Meng Sun Heji go and die. If they win, it will be a blessing for our country of Lu. If they... then won't it be...?!"
In order to suppress Sanhuan, Yang Hu is now resorting to all possible means without any regard for the consequences.
He always believed that as long as the Jin State took care of him, even if the battle failed, it would be irrelevant.
However, he never imagined that someone like him would place all the plans related to the survival of the country on other countries. Isn't this an extremely stupid political adventure?
Therefore, Yang Hu remained calm and waited until night fell, just when everyone thought that Yang Hu would give up the night attack. However, Yang Hu notified Ji Sunsi and Meng Sun He Ji to set off immediately and attack the enemy camp with him!
Gong Lianyang couldn't help being shocked when he heard the news.
There is no doubt that he leaked the night attack to Qi State in advance.
And now Yang Hu is determined to go his own way. He knows very well that this is clearly his intention to harm Ji Sunsi and Meng Sun Heji!
Gong Lianyang was a little panicked. He hurried to the Chinese army tent where Yang Hu was, grabbed Yang Hu's wrist and said anxiously:
"Tiger! This must not be done!"
Yang Hu stared and said:
"The opportunity is fleeting, so why not? You are just a leader of the Meng family and have no knowledge of military strategy. Why are you blocking me here?"
Gong Lianyang stamped his foot and said:
"Yang Hu! Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking! Qiying is eerily quiet now. Couldn't you, Yang Hu, not see this trick to lure the enemy? If you insist on going your own way, you will be seeking your own death. !”
However, Yang Hu was still pretending to be crazy at this moment:
"Chufu is exaggerating! The tiger just wants to win the battle, so how can there be any disaster?" (Chufu: Gong Lianyang's courtesy name)
original:
In the summer, Ji Huanzi, like the Jin Dynasty, offered Zheng prisoners. Yang Hu forced Meng Yizi to repay his wife with coins. Jin people enjoy it. Meng Sun stood outside the house and said to Fan Xianzi: "If Yang Hu cannot live in Lu and rests in Jin, he will not be regarded as a commander of the army, just like the ancestors!" People. How do you know about Yan?" Xianzi said to Jianzi: "The people of Lu are suffering from Yang Hu. Meng and Sun knew about their provocation and thought they would be suitable for Jin, so they strongly invited them to take Yan."
