Chapter 34: Time flies another year

I don’t know who has said that Gou Jian’s various actions have had a profound negative impact on all ethnic groups in the Xia Dynasty. They should not be spread in a eulogizing mode, but should be taught in a vigilant way.

What kind of negative impact is it? Is it a taste of defecation, or a taste of gallbladder?

Using the example of Gou Jian, we should teach people that failure is not terrible. What is terrible is not wanting to get up and try again after falling. How can it be a mistake?

If you put it this way, Zhu Xia's various myths about "man can conquer heaven" should not be spread, otherwise they will be in trouble with God.

In fact, China has always been a nation that has always been in struggle. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, praying for God's mercy has never been the mainstream. When something goes wrong, calling "Lord" to save us is a Western thinking.

"So, we here have always pursued collective will, and only the white-skinned system emphasizes individual heroism?" Zhiyao had nothing to do for the time being, and began to think about some strange things.

It's not that there are no major events in the Jin Kingdom. The civil war without results is a big deal. I don't know how many people feel anxious.

Zhiyao had nothing to do but had already finished everything, including successfully convincing Zhizhu to pretend to be sick and not to bear the wrath of any family now.

After the monarch was exposed...or rather he stopped pretending, the Zhao family, the Wei family, the Han family, the Fan family, and the Zhonghang family simply wanted to hate the monarch to death.

Hate turns to hate. The few high-ranking families who are really fighting for the throne either have to rely on the endorsement of the monarch's "name" and "weapons", or they have nothing to do with the monarch for the time being. It can be seen that they will continue to fight life and death in the future.

.

The role played by the old wise family changed from being forced by the monarch to participate in the civil war to playing the role of following the monarch's lead. I don't know how many people secretly reviled me. The problem is that it is better than those families who were fooled around by the monarch.

Okay?

The old wise man who started playing role-playing might have a bad reputation, but he just stood in a position where he could advance, attack, retreat and defend.

In the current situation, there are options that are far more advantageous than getting stuck in it.

No, the Zhao family, the Wei family and the Han family have to fight to the death, and the Fan family and the Zhongxing family also need to win support, and the monarch has to rely on them, which suddenly makes the old Zhi family become a fragrant steamed bun.

The person who benefits the most is of course Zhiyao. After his performance is recognized, no matter whether the Zhao family, Wei family and Han family win, or the Fan family, Zhonghang family and Handan family win, the Zhi family can benefit, which is equivalent to saying that Zhiyao will win.

He has made profits for Lao Zhi's family before he officially became the heir, so he can have deeper capital when he becomes the head of the family in the future.

"Gongsun, I have ordered you to meet Qi Wu."

who?

Zhiyao no longer had time to think about life. When he thought about it, he remembered that Qi Wu was Qi Xi's great-grandson, Qi Wu's grandson, and Qi Ying's son. He was one of the strong contenders for the position of lieutenant today.

The Qi family is currently the face of the Gong family, but it is really not strong in terms of strength. They and the Yangyu family were involved in the "Luan Ying Rebellion" decades ago, and the Yangyu family was simply wiped out, and the Qi family

It was also a serious loss of vitality.

Later, civil strife broke out in the Qi family. The reason was that a disgraceful incident occurred between Qi Ying's retainers Qi Sheng and Wu Zang, who were very good at "traveling".

What is that "passing room"? In modern terms, it is wife-swapping.

To some extent, the current Qi family exists in name only. Without the re-support of the current monarch, it would have been swept into the garbage heap of history.

The person who led to the demise of the Qi family was Zhishuo, and Jin Qinggong was considered an accomplice.

So, why did Qi Wu, who had a deep hatred for the Zhi family, come over?

Zhiyao has complained many times in his heart that people in the Spring and Autumn Period really don't have many "names" to choose from. As for his name "Yao", it sounds like a girl's name.

Of course, if you think "Yao" is a girl's name, you must be a modern person.

In fact, "Yao" has a very good meaning. To put it bluntly, it means "beautiful jade", which can also be seen as describing beauty and preciousness.

So, after Zhiyao came to the world, Zhishen took the name "Yao", which shows how much he loved him.

Qi Wu and his retainers brought three "wines" to Lao Zhi's family, and then they left after saying some polite words.

This "feather cup" is actually a utensil used to hold wine or soup. There are differences in size, and there are also distinctions between bronze and wood. Its ears are shaped like bird wings, so it is called a "feather cup".

What do you mean?

The meaning is not difficult to understand. The Qi family is a puppet family controlled by the monarch. The head of the family specially sent wine to his old enemy Zhi family to express an attitude of letting go of grudges.

Zhizong must have understood what the monarch wanted to express, and ordered Zhiyao to welcome him and accept it.

"Ancestor, you can't drink wine." Zhiyao felt that the chance of the monarch poisoning the wine was low, so he had to be careful.

The monarch also had another idea: I have accepted the wine, why don't I get sick and lead my troops to the expedition as soon as possible.

"The families are at odds, and the country is often in chaos." Zhizong knew that the monarch was in danger, but he had no good way to suppress it.

In this regard, Zhiyao thought it was nothing.

No matter how troublesome a monarch is, how many "masters" does he have in his hands?

An army that does not resolutely obey its orders will successfully trick everyone once, and everyone will be on guard the next time. It is also a question of how much respect will be left after being tricked once.

Zhizong knew that he would probably not receive a good posthumous title after his death, so he had been feeling depressed for a while. What comforted him was that his grandson was outstanding.

"Fan clan and Zhongxing clan have joined forces to march into Jinyang." Zhishuo said.

Zhiyao has already heard the news.

At the beginning of the civil war, powerful families had recruited several "divisions" or an "army". After more than one bloody battle, each family participating in the war suffered more or less losses, and the number of troops on hand shrank.

For example, this time the Fan family and the Zhonghang family joined forces and worked hard to assemble an "army" and two "divisions", which is really incomparable with the initial army.

Zhiyao asked: "How many troops does the Zhao family have?"

Zhizong shook his head.

That "Jinyang" is far away from "Xintian", especially the "Jinyang" side is considered a wild land, and it is relatively inconvenient to travel there.

Zhiyao finds it strange that the Fan family and the Zhonghang family have given up fighting against "Zhao" city and instead focused on Zhao Yang's position. Is this considered an improvement?

Zhizhuo said, "Follow your father to organize the army and prepare for war. Let me know when you will go to war."

Got it! This is about delegating power again.

As the head of the family, Zhi Yao is like this, and his father Zhishen is even more willing to happily be his son's puppet, which makes Zhi Yao feel extremely happy.

Next, Zhiyao had a deeper understanding of the army of the current era, and at the same time kept a close eye on the development of the war situation in "Jinyang", while paying attention to whether the Wei family and the Han family made any moves.

The Fan family and the Zhonghang family attacked "Jinyang" from the late autumn of 497 BC to the summer of 496 BC. During this period, not only the old intellectuals watched, but the Han family, who was a close ally of the Zhao family, also remained silent.

, but the Wei family tried to attack "Hukou" and were defeated by the Zhongxing family.

On the other side of the Zheng State, the young master Qiao who had been in charge of the Zheng State for decades... was Zi Chan, one of the pioneers of Legalism who had carried out the Zheng State Reform. He passed away in the late spring of that year, and it was not until the summer that the news reached "

"New Field".

On the Jin side, many families who learned about Zichan's death, including the Zhi family, some Zhao family, Wei family, Han family, Fan family and Zhonghang family who were trapped in civil war and unable to extricate themselves, sent people to mourn.

Decades ago, Jin State repeatedly beat up Zheng State. Why do so many families pay so much attention to Zichan's funeral?

This is to mention that some people are alive, but they have died long ago; some people are dead, but they will always live in the hearts of some people.

Zhiyao couldn't figure out the situation, and only after looking into it did he realize that Zichan's casting of the punishment cauldron had a significant impact on the Jin state.

Just when Zhiyao was hesitating whether to go to Zheng State, the result of the fierce battle for "Jinyang" for half a year appeared...
