Chapter 54

After more than a year of fierce fighting, the allied forces of the princes completely defeated the Shan Rong in Yan State. In the northeast of Yan State, a large area of ​​wasteland and forests became the territory of Qi State.

And this time the Shan Rong was beheaded more than 20, basically the Yan Kingdom will not worry about the Shan Rong invading again for [-] years.

After 20 years, if Yan Guo still can't defeat Shanrong, it will be too wasteful.

Especially when Lu Xiaobai saw that the newly laid land was not producing much and it was still an enclave, he generously donated all of these lands to the State of Yan.

Marquis Yan was about to kneel down directly to Lu Xiaobai, he held Lu Xiaobai's hand and said with tears in his eyes: "Marquis Qi, I really don't know how to thank you for your kindness to Yan Guo.

But to receive favors without repaying them is not what a gentleman should do.

Four years ago, Qu Guo was rude to you.

You are a virtuous person, and being rude to you is a person without virtue, and should be punished!

Two years ago, you held an alliance in BlazBlue, Qu Guo did not participate, this time in the Yan Guo League, Qu Guo still did not participate.

This is disrespect to the emperor and should be punished.

Now you have relieved me of the threat of Shanrong, and you have given me five hundred miles of land.

I didn't know how to repay, so I led the army of Yan State to attack Qu State, and asked Qu Jun to apologize in front of you.

Presumably this can repay your kindness a little bit. "

On the road, what a fastidious person!

Hearing the words of Marquis Yan, Lu Xiaobai almost burst into laughter. A Marquis surnamed Ji took the initiative to attack another prince for him. How could this not cheer him up?
In the past 400 years, this has been an excuse for the emperor, and now Yanhou is using it on Lu Xiaobai, which greatly satisfies his vanity.

And it can also show his power in front of the princes.

So Yanhou led the army of Yan State and Qi State to besiege Qu State together. Hanhou and Xinghou knew that they also asked Qi State to help them resist the Di people.

Qu Bo is also very willing to sacrifice Qu Guo now.

So the two spoke righteously: "Marquis Qi, you are the leader of the lords, and being rude to you is rude to us, so I hope you can agree, and we will also attack Qu Guo for you."

King Qu Guo never dreamed that because of a false statement five years ago, Yan Guo, Han Guo, and Xing Guo would use it as a tool to curry favor with the Marquis of Qi.

For these obvious attachment behaviors, Lu Xiaobai naturally agrees very much.

So in March of the next year, when it was the time of spring planting, the four countries jointly organized 3 horses to attack Qu Guo.

This will not delay the domestic spring planting, but also force Qu Guo to surrender.

In the state of Qu, facing the attack of the Allied Forces of the Four Kingdoms, the monarch Qu Bo was very afraid.

Quickly called the ministers and ministers over, and asked: "Masters, Qi State led the Allied Forces of the Four Nations to attack. Their army is as many as gravel on the river beach, but Qu State's army is not many. How can we retreat now?" Is it a good strategy?"

Good strategy?

On the opposite side, there are [-] elites, [-] chariots, and all the chariots in Qu Country are only hundreds of chariots. The army does not exceed [-]. How can we fight?
The two sides set up a formation, and a wave of charges on the opposite side wiped out the entire army.

At the beginning, you were the one who drank and didn't control your mouth. As a result, today's disaster happened. If there was no channel, you would have been tied up and handed over to Marquis Qi for disposal.

Between monarchs and ministers, you look at me, and I look at you.

In the end, it was Dr. Cao who stood up and said, "Your Majesty.

The Allied Forces of the Four Nations attacked our country on the grounds of your rudeness. You can write a letter to explain that you have always respected Qi and are willing to join Qi's alliance.

In addition, ceding two hundred miles of land on the border between Qi State and Qu State, presumably this will calm Qi Hou's anger. "

Two hundred miles of fertile land, this is not comparable to the five hundred miles of wasteland that Lu Xiaobai gave to Yanhou.

"Ceded the land?" Qu Bo hesitated, "These lands were taken from the barbarians with great painstaking efforts by the ancestors of the past dynasties, how could Gu just give them up to others like this?"

In fact, today's princes are all arrogant and extravagant, how can they understand the hardships of their ancestors.

Qu Bo is simply reluctant to part with the land. After all, every piece of land can give him a lot of taxes, and only with taxes can he enjoy it better.

Doctor Cao understood what Qu Bo was thinking, and secretly despised him, but Qu Bo brought up his ancestors, and his morals as a courtier still made him persuade: "The king.

The minister's retainers went to the state of Ju to do business last month, and heard something.

In the state of Ju, there was a hunter named Jiao who was good at hunting. When he went hunting in the mountains, he killed a strong deer. It was not only rich in meat, but also beautiful in fur, which was very valuable. He was very happy.

On the way dragging the deer down the mountain, he saw a rabbit again, so he put down the deer and chased the rabbit, but the rabbit failed to catch up, and when he came back, he found that the deer was gone.

What do you think of his behavior? "

Qu Bo said: "Of course it is unwise."

Doctor Cao said with a smile: "Yes, deer are big prey, and they can be exchanged for a family's rations for a long time.

Rabbits are small prey, just a full meal, because it is very unwise for the small ones to lose the big ones.

Now the land of two hundred miles is a small thing, and the ancestral temple and the country of Quguo are big things.

Now you are reluctant to part with the land of two hundred miles. When the Qihou gets angry, the ancestral temple of Qu Guo will be overthrown, and there will be no remaining land. At that time, you will not even be able to sacrifice to your ancestors. "

At this point, Qu Bo realized that there was no other way, and sighed: "Doctor Cao, what you said is correct.

Gu dare not be a sinner who ceded the ancestral land, please go to the Qi army camp to express Qu Guo's attitude. "

Lu Xiaobai has been under Guan Zhong's control for these years, and he is no longer what he used to be. If it was six years ago, he would have sent troops to teach Qu Guo a lesson.

But now that Qu Guo directly pays compensation to cede land and apologizes to form an alliance, now is the time for him to show his magnanimity and virtue to the princes.

"Since Qu Bo knew his mistake, he must immediately write a letter to the emperor to admit his mistake.

Gu wants to hold an alliance again this year. In order to welcome Qu Bo to join the alliance, let's hold an alliance in the outskirts of the capital of Qu.

Doctor Cao went back and told Qu Bo that in three months, the high platform of the alliance must be built. By doing so, the princes will surely feel Qu Bo's sincerity. "

Holding an alliance outside the capital of a vassal state is a complete vassal.

But Qu Bo even did such things as cede land and pay compensation, so Huimeng was not so shameful.

Seeing that Lu Xiaobai did not make other harsh demands, Dr. Cao was even a little happy, and the price Qu Guo paid was tolerable.

Lu Xiaobai graciously forgave Qu Bo's behavior, which made the princes think that he was a gentleman and worthy of trust, so they all responded to this alliance.

At the meeting in Quyi, not only the Qu Kingdom, but also some other small countries came to the meeting, and even the son of the Song Kingdom was present in person.

The reason why Duke Song didn't come is because there is no monarch in Song Kingdom now, and the son Fuyi and his uncle Kuangfu are fighting for the position of Lord Song, and they are fighting hard.

The royal family of Zhou is weak, and they have a lot of internal affairs, and they don't want to participate in the internal disputes of Song, which is still a big country.

So after the death of the previous monarch, even the monarch was not canonized. He just wanted to wait until the Song Dynasty was over, and then canonize the victor as the monarch.

The emperor was unwilling to fulfill his responsibilities, so Prince Fuyi came to the place of the alliance, hoping that Lu Xiaobai could uphold justice for him.

"Qihou, when I was in Song Dynasty, I heard that when you were in the Cangyi League, you called on the princes to respect the king and fight against barbarians, and maintain the patriarchal law and discipline. This is the kingly way advocated by King Su.

Although the State of Song was a descendant of the Yin and Shang dynasties, it always respected the rituals of Zhou.

Because Yan was harassed by the mountain army, you led the princes to help Yan, and because Qu didn't follow the emperor's call, you sent troops to crusade, and you did what you said. This kind of character is worthy of everyone's admiration.

King Wu once wanted to pass the throne to King Su. King Su said that the elder brother had heirs, but the throne was passed on to the younger brother. Isn't this the root of the disaster?

Now my uncle wants to snatch away my throne. This is trampling on the patriarchal system. Can you tolerate it?

If you are willing to help me obtain the throne of Song State, I am willing to follow Qu Bo's example and offer you two hundred miles of Song State's land, which is what a noble leader should get.

My admiration for you must be expressed in this way. "

What does the leader deserve?
Young Master Fuyi was the first to say so.

The prestige among the princes of the world, the increasingly huge alliance power, and the friendship and real benefits of Song Guo, Song Guo is not a small country like Qu Guo.

In terms of land area alone, the State of Song is larger than the State of Qi before it annexed the State of Laiyi.

Regarding Young Master Fuyi's request, Lu Xiaobai said seriously: "Song Guo Gongzi, your experience is worthy of sympathy.

When Lu Wujiu was in chaos in the Qi State, it was Luohou who sent Gu back to the country. The Xia countries should maintain this tradition of helping each other.

You can stay here first, and the princes of the Alliance will surely agree. "

When Lv Xiaobai told the story of Song's prince Fuyi, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, thinking that Kuangfu should not rob his nephew of the throne.

So the princes of the fifteen countries, with a total of [-] troops and [-] chariots, stationed in the north and east of Song State.

Father Kuang didn't expect his nephew to be so shameless that he would bring outsiders here in order to seize the throne. He didn't believe that Marquis Qi would help his nephew for nothing.

The state of Qi is not the state of Luo, and it can give everything to maintain the patriarchal clan.

This time, asking Qihou to send troops must have promised a lot of benefits, which made him itch with hatred. It was too shameless to be straightforward. In fact, he regretted it very much in his heart. Originally, he had the upper hand, as long as he surrendered to Qihou first , These things will never happen at all, kneeling too slowly has caused the current things to happen.

But it's too late to say anything now, the army of Qi State is under pressure, it's impossible to catch him without a fight, he always has to fight.

Regarding this war, all I can say is that the mantis is like a cart!
The coalition forces defeated Kuangfu's army ruthlessly, and Kuangfu fled to Zheng State with his cronies.

Then the son Fuyi wrote a letter to Zhenghou.

"Marquis Zheng, although father Kuang is competing with me for the throne, he is my uncle. If he were to be killed, my father would be sad. It would be unfilial for me to do so, so I will not kill him in Song.

I beg you to kill him in the state of Zheng and not let him return to the state of Song, so that the father will not be sad if he does not see his body. This is what a filial son can do. "

When Zheng Hou received the letter, he handed it to the left and right to read, and asked what should be done.

"My lord, the Marquis of Qi is very clear that he wants to support the son Fu Yi to ascend the throne and treat Song as a vassal. If we don't kill Kuangfu, it may be considered by Qi Hou as wanting to fight for the power of Song. Qi is now tyrannical and angers him. would be unwise."

Hearing this, Zheng Hou was a little unhappy. Doesn't this mean that he was afraid of Qi Hou?
"Although Qi is strong, Zheng has a strong army and is not afraid of him.

But it is wrong to let Zheng Guo's soldiers shed blood because of Kuang Fu.

Monarch, you can write back and say that father Kuang robbed his nephew of the throne and should be punished.

For the filial piety of Young Master Fu Yi, you are willing to kill Kuang Fu for him.

In this way, the son will definitely be grateful to you, and the state of Zheng does not need to go to war with the state of Qi. "

What is the art of language?
For the same purpose, saying this made Zheng Hou feel very comfortable, so he readily agreed to kill Kuang Fu.

Kuang's father thought that he could escape death by fleeing to a country that did not participate in the alliance, but he did not expect that his nephew was cruel and Marquis Zheng was hypocritical, so he died in Zheng.

The envoy of Song State came to Zheng State, saw Kuang Fu's body, nodded with satisfaction, and returned to Song State.

After this incident, Lu Xiaobai's prestige has been improved to a higher level. With the return of Song State, Lu Xiaobai held another alliance in Song State. This is the fourth time. Compared with the first time, it is no longer the same.

 I feel that I am a bit awesome, I can even make up fables, because of the origin of the idiom, it is created by me at this moment.

  Twelve thousand today, no more, no need to wait.
