Chapter 769: The Savage Son Serves Jingbo
Three military vehicles, three old generals, and the civil and military forces who stayed in Linzi personally sent them far away before returning to the city under the leadership of the prince Lu Qu. They know that this send-off may be goodbye.
Taiwei Huazhou looked at the back of the "three fierces" that gradually disappeared from view, and his rickety and old body did not move for a long time.
He went back to the city, but he was the last to do so, and he staggered back alone on crutches.
If his friend Qi Liang hadn't died unexpectedly in the battle of his father, maybe he wouldn't have been so lonely. Maybe they will be like the three fierces, supporting each other to death.
It's just that now, in the face of death, you can only be yourself.
The old generals not only have Hua Zhou, but also Zhong You, but Zhong You has been sick since Kong Qiu's death, and he is still guarding Kong Qiu's tomb and "fighting" with the original soil that claims to destroy Kong Qiu's tomb.
Guo Fan was overjoyed when he learned that Lu Di's army had come to meet him. If it was an ordinary national war, he would naturally be able to deal with it, but in the face of the Song, Wei and Han Kingdoms, he was more than willing and not enough.
"The last general Guofan, see the king" After the wax moon and the snow fell, Lu Di finally came to the land of Huihe with the army.
The place of rendezvous is the border city of Evil Cao where the three kingdoms of Qi, Song and Zheng confronted each other. This evil Cao is also famous in Chinese history. At least in the history of Zheng Guo, it is an unforgettable nostalgia.
Because here, the Spring and Autumn Xiaoba, Zheng Guo was born.
According to the record of "Zuo Biography", about 700 BC, the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Zheng "came to fight in Lang" and launched a war of aggression against Lu.
There are dozens of countries participating in the alliance, not only powerful countries like Qi Wei, but also Zheng Guo's old enemy, Song State, the largest country in the Central Plains!
It can be said that Zheng Guo at that time was like the overlord of the princes. Because of this, later generations called it "Spring and Autumn Xiaoba".
However, now that the stars have changed, Zheng Guo's prestige back then is no longer there, and it is replaced by storms and dangers.
More than a year ago, Zheng was still a country of thousands of miles, with more than 100 large and small cities, including large cities with a population of more than 100,000, such as Gongcheng, Yanjin, Hugao, Yinggu, Xinzheng, Changge, Xucheng, Yanling, etc., there are nearly 20, but now?
In the west, Tiger Prison, Yinggu, Xinzheng and others were captured by Wei; To the north, Gongseong, the land north of the Great River was annexed by Korea; To the south, Yanling, Xucheng, Changge and other lands were annexed by the Song State; To the east, Yanjin, the first military fortress to the east of the capital of Zheng Guoguo was captured by the Qi State.
The current Zheng Guo can be said to have been divided, and only Zheng Guoguo is left less than a hundred miles away. However, Han Wei Song did not intend to give up this last piece of land and let him leave it to the Zheng people. The armies of the three kingdoms swept and gradually surrounded Zheng Guoguo.
Of course, the three kingdoms were mainly unwilling to leave it to the Qi State.
In the face of the ferocity of the Three Kingdoms, Zheng Guo did not stand still, they took the initiative to shrink their forces, gave up some unimportant cities, and gathered the main force of the army and grain and grass in Zheng Guoguo's capital, Zheng Cheng (郐地), intending to fight a protracted war.
Zheng Guoguo is full of soldiers, the armor is distinct, and the whole city is like the name of his country, and the atmosphere is very solemn and serious.
The envoy of the State of Qi, Zifu He (Zifu Jingbo), arrived.
Zifu Jingbo, named Zifu He, Jingbo is his honorific title after his death. This virtuous man is recorded in "Zuo Biography", "Analects" and "Confucius's Family Sayings", he was a famous diplomat and politician in the late Spring and Autumn Period.
It's just that the appearance of Lu Di interrupted the glorious historical process of Zifu He.
Zifu He, he was originally the patriarch of the Zifu clan of the Duke of Lu, and later the Lu country was divided into two, and the Zifu clan followed the three Huan, and after the country of the three Huans was destroyed by Lu Di, he became a dilapidated little nobleman under the rule of the Qi State.
Zifu's family was on the wrong side of the line, and the family road plummeted.
However, Zifu is a capable person, knowing that if the family wants to rise, it must make some moves. After he handed over the family affairs to his eldest son, he went to Lixia School Palace, and "messed" and "debated" with the "black mess" people on the shore of Daming Lake.
Zifu He is about the same age as Zigong, but he is much more "stingy" and "shabby" than Zigong.
His shabby clothes seemed to have been washed hundreds of times, and the silk shoes under his feet were also a pair of old shoes, his forehead protruded forward, his ears were like elephant ears, not only large but also attractive, and a big red scorn grew at the base of the mountain on the bridge of his nose, and his lips were as thin as willow leaves.
The whole person gives people the feeling of being poor and unrefreshing.
But don't look at his appearance so ugly, but it is recorded in ancient documents: Confucius's evaluation of him is very high, of course, some people say that because he is a die-hard fan of Confucius, Confucius protects calves.
It's just that this reason is untenable, Confucius has a lot of die-hard fans, and I haven't seen Confucius reprimand him for his love for his disciples.
You must know the status of Zigong in the heart of Confucius!
Zifu He thief's slippery eyes swept around the Zheng army in Xinzheng City, and the doctor Zheng Guoxia who led him sneered when he saw it, but the pace under his feet was faster.
"Xuan, Qi envoy to meet him," Si Bo, who was standing outside the palace, shouted at Zifu He who was walking in the distance with a male duck voice.
Zifu He looked at the majestic Zhengguo Palace, and pouted in his heart, no wonder so many countries covet your land, just like you, an upstart, who doesn't covet it?
Thinking of this, Zifu He looked at the shabby clothes on his body again, and was very satisfied, the style of being diligent and thrifty has always been advocated by his Zifu He, shouting loudly, and of course, he is also doing what he does.
Zifu He walked into the palace city slowly, and he was shocked when he entered the palace city, because the luxury in the palace city was even more extravagant than that of Linzi Palace.
You must know that Linzi Palace is the national pearl of Daqi, but in front of Zheng Guojun's palace, it is a fart at the moment!
Zifu He licked his lips, which were as thin as willow leaves, and said in his heart, King Zheng is a good man, leave such a good palace for the Qi country!
Obviously, Zifu He has listed Zheng Guoguo as the territory of Qi State.
Zheng Aigong Ji Yi Miannan sat high in the center of the main seat of the main hall, and the long and dense Wang Han blocked his face, making it impossible to see his expression at the moment.
The "Qi Mu" in the hall stood on both sides, with a solemn expression, behind them was the powerful doctor of Zheng Guo, and everyone looked coldly at the envoy of Qi who was about to step into the hall.
It's just that when Zifu He walked into the hall with the envoy scepter talisman, "Qimu" and those doctors were all stunned and surprised.
This is the envoy of the Qi State? Am I right? It's just this shabby, isn't it a homeless savage who has come to cheat?
"Come on, pull out this slut who lied to be an envoy of Qi State, and cut it down for me" Among the Zheng State magnates behind Qi Mu, when a doctor walked out, he was furious, pointing at Zifu He's nose and scolding.
