The Marquis of Qi, Shang, came to power by killing the son of Duke Zhao of Qi. This has also been a characteristic of Qi in recent decades. Of course, there are also reasons for the Huai Kingdom's secret guards.
The Hou Shang of Qi killed the son of Duke Zhao of Qi to seize the throne and stand on his own initiative, partly because the young master was suspicious of the country, and partly because Duke Zhao did not have any great achievements in his reign, and the ministers did not receive much favor from him. Of course, there were also One reason is that Qi Hou Shang is also the son of Duke Huan.
The glory of Duke Huan of Qi gave his sons some aura, and they felt that he could lead the country of Qi to be strong like their father. It's just that the officials and nobles of Qi were disappointed.
Qi Hou Shang did not do many good things, but he did many inappropriate things. The first thing he did when he became the Marquis of Qi was to dig up the graves of the nobles who had competed with him for fiefs and cut off the feet of the corpses.
Although the impact of this incident was very bad, it only affected his own reputation. But what the Marquis of Qi did next was breathtaking. He actually asked the son of the minister who was competing with him for the fief to be his coachman.
Destroying the body of his father and letting his son work as a coachman, it can only be said that Qi Hou Shang has a great heart. Later, Hou Shang of Qi once visited the home of Yan Zui, his official, and saw his beautiful wife, so he forcibly included his wife in the harem music and also made Yan Zui a coachman.
This kind of behavior is very confusing. Maybe this Qi Hou Shang also likes his husband's former offender. It can only be said that Qihou Shangtai is very good at playing.
Qi Houshang later gave Yan Zhi one of his green hats and asked him to wear it. Qi Houshang's wanton bullying behavior made the two of them hate him more and more. Seeing this situation, the secret guards of Huai State also began to add fuel to the flames.
This time Qi State participated in the Jin National Alliance's attack on Huaihe, Wang Yue sent people to detonate Qi State's time bomb.
After the Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Qi discussed it, they assigned 100,000 people to lead them and prepared to go south from Ju State.
As the second largest vassal state in this alliance, the Marquis of Qi sent a total of 80,000 troops. These 100,000 people were basically the army of Qi, plus the armies of two or three small countries.
Seeing that the Jin State divided its troops, Wang Yue had no choice but to retreat to the Huaihe River, and spies from the Huai State hurriedly arrived.
"What did you say? Are you sure you can deal with Qi Jun?" Wang Yue looked at Sun Chao and asked.
Sun Chao: "Your Majesty, Prince Yuan of the State of Qi has returned to the country. As long as these news are released, the Marquis of Qi will definitely be in chaos and may even lead his army back to the country!"
"Hahaha, Sun Chao, you did a great job!" Wang Yue laughed.
Then he issued an edict: "Order the secret guards to spread the news, and at the same time send people to spread the news about Yan Zhi and Bing Zha. If these two people still have any sense of shame, they will definitely kill Qi Hou Shang!"
"Since Qi dares to join the Jin Guoguo Alliance, let him continue to cause chaos!"
"Give Wei Hong an order to lead an army of 30,000 elite troops from Huai State to the north. If Qi State withdraws its troops, teach them a lesson!"
"Here!"
As Wang Yue issued the order, Huaiguo's war machine also started running quickly.
Wei Hong led an army of 30,000 to the north, and soon blocked the Qi army's path south. Next, Qi Hou Shang led his army to fight with Wei Hong. The two sides fought three battles in a row. Qi Hou failed to defeat the Huai army, so he had to temporarily camp and prepare to fight again tomorrow.
The camp of Qi State was very lively. Qi Hou Shang wanted to defeat Huai State very much. Even if this Huai army was just a partial army, as long as he defeated the Huai State army, his prestige of Lu Shang would be instantly restored. It reached its peak in Qi State. You must know that what his father Qi Huangong did not do back then, he will do it today.
As long as he defeats the Huai Kingdom and brings the power of a great victory over the Huai Kingdom, he will surpass his father Qi Huangong. Who else in the country dares to disobey?
Just when Qi Hou Shang was thinking about it again and again and was in high spirits, suddenly a close confidant came over and told him the news of Lu Yuan's return to the country.
After getting the news, the Marquis of Qi was furious, and then panicked. He knew too well the weight of these sons of Duke Huan of Qi. He was able to kill his nephew and seize the throne because he was the son of Duke Huan of Qi.
Over the years in the State of Qi, the position of Marquis of Qi has changed too quickly. Four of their five brothers have sat on this position.
position, now there is no problem in getting another one.
The Marquis of Qi, Shang, no longer wanted to attack the Huai Kingdom, and was about to lead his army back home.
Several of Qi Hou's doctors quickly stopped him. Even if he wanted to leave, they had to lead the army back together, otherwise how could they subdue Lu Yuan.
So Qihou Shang calmed down and prepared to lead his army back tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the Qi army returned. Seeing this situation, Wei Hong immediately asked the army to follow him.
Seeing this situation, the Marquis of Qi didn't care and could only retreat all the way.
That night, the army set up camp, and Qihou's two coachmen, Bing Zha and Yan Zhi, had been driving for a day. They were tired and hungry, so they wanted to find something to eat before going to sleep.
But when I was walking past a tent, there was a burst of laughter from the tent.
"Haha, let me tell you, one of our two coachmen is an amputee, and the other is a cuckold."
"Broken foot? His father's leg is broken?"
"His father's legs were not only broken. Don't you know? The king ordered his father's bones to be dug up and his legs cut off. This man actually drove the car for the king. How thick-skinned must he be?" ?」
"What do you think this is? Isn't the cuckold more powerful? He gave his wife to the king. Not only did the king let him drive, he also gave him a cuckold. 'What a favor!"
"Ahem, okay, don't say anything anymore. If those two people find out, we will suffer!"
"That's right, stop talking!"
...
When Bing Zha and Yan Zhi heard these words, their faces were on fire, and when they heard what happened later, they felt even more embarrassed. After hearing that the joke between the two people had been circulated throughout the military camp, I felt even more embarrassed, and the suppressed anger in my heart finally burst out.
The two of them couldn't bear it anymore, so they immediately returned to the big tent where Qi Houshang lived and killed Qi Houshang directly! Immediately afterwards, the two of them did not stop and ran away with their chariots.
Qi Hou Shang died, and the entire Qi army fell into chaos. Seeing this situation, several other princes led their respective armies to evacuate.
Wei Hong, who had been following the Qi army, soon discovered the chaos of the Qi army and immediately sent out an army to attack. The Qi army was in chaos at this time. Qi Hou Shang died. The remaining generals could not unify their opinions. Facing the attack of the Huai army, they fought independently. Even the military flag order was in chaos.
How could Wei Hong let go of such an opportunity? He immediately attacked with his army and beat up the Qi army. The Qi army was in disarray and was no match for them. The 80,000-strong army was scattered by the 30,000 Huai army. The Qi army fled. There were countless casualties and the Huai Kingdom was victorious.
