Chapter 743: Lone is the king, and the king will not cheat
Wu Zixu held his son and snapped: "What the king said is good, the Zhongshan Kingdom must be destroyed, because if we don't destroy it, the Zhao Kingdom will be destroyed."
Regarding Wu Zixu's implication, Lu Di did not object, because he had already wanted to destroy the Zhongshan Kingdom, especially when he got the news: after the funeral of Zhao Wuxian, the lord of Zhao State, he invited the new king of Zhao to go to Zhao to negotiate the covenant.
After Sun Wu, the general stationed in Beiping County, learned the news, it was too late, his troops were only 20,000, and the Qi State was mired in the war of the Chu State, and could not support the two-front battle, so he could only acquiesce to the annexation of the Dai State.
What about Zhongshan?
The king of Zhongshan strongly objected, sent troops to Xiawushan, trying to block the retreat of the Zhao army, who expected to be ambushed by Zhao Wuxian halfway, the Zhongshan army was defeated, and its king Ji Muhua was cut off a piece of thigh meat by Zhao Wuxian, and finally escaped with the help of Xiangbang Chizhang Manzhi.
However, after this battle, all the territories west of Taihang Mountain in Zhongshan were annexed by Zhao, and the power of Zhongshan was weakened by half.
The destruction of the Zhongshan Kingdom was Lu Di's next goal, and now the immediate goal was to take back the old land of Cai from the Song people.
Smack, the pieces fall.
Three days later, the army passed everywhere, Lu Di paid tribute to the Qi soldiers who died in the battle of Suicheng that year, and visited the original Zeng Guozi who lived in seclusion on the bank of the Qingshui River.
Lu Di was depressed, but he didn't force it, he knew that this was Zeng Guozi's despair of fame and wealth in the world, he had been the lord of a country, and he had led thousands of troops and horses to fight, and he had also destroyed his family and abandoned everything for the sake of Great Chu, but he didn't expect that in the end, his country was destroyed by the Chu State.
For Zeng Guozi, this amorous man, who can't accept it.
So he was desperate and miserable.
Lu Di looked at the lonely Zeng Guozi fishing by the water's edge, and sighed leisurely, and at this moment, a child wearing leaky crotch pants bumped into him.
Lu Di couldn't help laughing, this little guy is called B, according to Lu Di's records of unearthed cultural relics in later generations and the current actual speculation, this little guy may be the hero in the tomb of Zeng Hou Yi in the Warring States Tomb that shocked the world, Zeng Hou Yi!
Lu Di squatted down and pinched B's red face: "Little guy, what do you want to do when you grow up?" ”
B said: "King, I don't know, but anyway, I don't like my grandfather's single fishing every day, I'm annoyed!" ”
After B finished speaking, he stomped his feet and shook his head, which made Lu Di, Wu Zixu, Dongmen Wuze, Zuo Qiu Ming, Xiong Yiyi and others laugh.
Lu Di touched Yi's head, and then said with a smile: "It's just right, there is a set of chimes, now I'll give you a kid." Save yourself from saying that your grandfather was annoying fishing. ”
"Really? Don't play tricks, it's a puppy" Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Lu Di and said seriously.
Lu Di touched B's little head again, and said lovingly: "Lone is the king, and the king will not cheat."
B was overjoyed and jumped up.
Seeing this, everyone laughed again, and B's father ran over at this time, and when he heard the words of his son before and after the incident, he was angry.
After Lu Di left this place, the temple people who announced the edict came, and they also pulled a set of bells.
The most important message of the edict is to give the original Zeng Guozi the surname of Zeng, seal the family, appreciate the thousands of acres of fertile land on the bank of the Qingshui River, and give Zeng Yi a set of bells.
After the temple and the sergeants left, Zeng Guozi was supported by his son and watched the temple and Qi Junli go, and the little Zeng Yi had already run to the huge set of bells, picked up the bell hammer, and struck it.
His voice was so rhythmic and harsh that his grandfather and father wanted to smoke him.
"Yi'er, that's not how the bell is struck" Zeng Yi's grandfather couldn't hold back any longer, his angry white beard fluttered around, and he stepped forward to snatch Zeng Yi's bell hammer.
The army continued to advance, and Lu Di originally wanted to go to the old Tang Kingdom again, but when he learned that the Tang Guozi who had invited him to eat barrel rice had been killed by King Chu Zhao in the Baigongsheng Rebellion, he had no interest, and led the army to the north, passing through the calendar, the underworld, the great sui, the string, crossing the river, and resting......
In these areas, many local doctors didn't know that the king of Chu had fled to Badi, and they were all shocked when they saw the appearance of the Qi army.
For most of these doctors, Lu Di did not change, but on the contrary, he also gave a lot of surnames. For example, Xie, Shen, Xi, Deng, Gu, Sang, Dongbu......
Lu Di went all the way and gave him a surname, so that the group of civil and military machines who followed Lu Di wanted to lick their lips and want to speak. They don't understand what their king wants to do.
Good people have names and surnames, what do you do if you force others to give them another surname?
Where could they guess Lu Di's crooked thoughts, Lu Di wanted to be the "Grace Prince" of the Qianjia clan.
In addition to the dog blood that Lu Di did during this march, there was also a dog blood thing, that is, under the Xicheng Gate, Lu Di sacrificed to Xi Fei, saying that he was given the seal of Xi Fei as the Peach Blossom Lady, in charge of the peach trees in the world, in order to express his sincerity, he set aside a piece of land on the riverside to plant peach trees, and let the Xi family replace Lu Di to worship every year.
The Xi family was originally a descendant of Mrs. Xi Fei, and now seeing that Lu Di admired her grandmother so much, she was naturally happy and agreed.
The other families with surnames around are all envious.
Seeing this, the civil and military forces of the Qi Kingdom said in their hearts, okay, the king of his own family, it's not fun to give the seal of the living, and now he has begun to seal the dead again, or is it a god!?
However, this is not a major event that affects the military state, so everyone persuaded a few words and did not say anything more, but Zuo Qiu Ming seemed to vaguely guess something about Lu Di's move, but he was not too sure.
This Cai State is the surname of Zhou Wang Ji, and the first king of the seal is Shu Du, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, but this Shu Du is very bloody, he and Wu Geng, the son of King Zhou, are friends, and the two united with some other princes to launch a rebellion against Zhou, and was later destroyed by his brother Zhou Gongdan.
After Shudu's death, Zhou Gongdan set up Shudu's son to become the monarch of Cai Guo, and since then, Cai Guo has been more honest with his tail between his legs.
However, the nature of the Cai people is very stubborn, and they have been destroyed three times, but they have survived strongly, and their national territory has also changed again and again, from the original Zhumadian in Henan, then to the Jingshan Mountains in Hubei, and finally to the barren hills of Jiangxi, to 344 BC, the last lord of the Cai State, Cai Shenghou, was tortured to death by the king of Chu Xuan of Chu with a dog chain. This made Cai Guo disappear from the stage of history.
