Chapter 120: Auntie should not be taken lightly

In the tenth year of the reign of Duke Lu Zhuang, that is, in the year of the Battle of the Long Spoon, Xihou successfully colluded with the enemy to defeat his allies.

It turned out that Cai Aihou married a daughter of Chen Xuangong as his wife, and later Marquis Xi also married in Chen State. Cai Guo is located between Chen Guo and Xi Guo, and when the procession to send off relatives passed through Cai Guo, Cai Aihou said: "Auntie is here!" The widow must not be rude, and he must not be hospitable! He extended an invitation to Chen, and the team was invited to stay in Cai for two days.

At the welcome banquet, Cai Aihou met his aunt for the first time, the girl who came to be known as "Lady Peach Blossom". Cai Aihou was immediately shocked by her appearance and temperament, and he muttered to himself: "Is there really a fairy in the world?" ”

At the beginning of the banquet, Cai Aihou was still able to restrain his lust, he just kept peeking at Xi Fei and did not make other moves; But when the wine was hot, he became frivolous and presumptuous. He complained about Chen Xuangong's eccentricity, and asked Xi Fei, how could Chen Hou be willing to marry such a fairy sister to that fool Xi Hou? I and she are a natural pair! Then she said that she would definitely regret marrying into Xiguo, so it was better to stay in Cai Guode now.

Mrs. Cai Aihou glared angrily at her husband. He said, "What do you want to do with the widow?" Do you want to go to Xiguo? The widow will fulfill you now? Hey, you relatives, let's go away tomorrow!

Cai Aihou made the atmosphere extremely embarrassing. Xi Fei couldn't stand her brother-in-law's teasing, so she drank two glasses perfunctorily, and then quit immediately under the excuse that she was too strong to drink. And Cai Aihou just sat in place in despair, continuing to nag; He finally didn't reach the point of being embarrassed to run over and pull at Xi Fei.

After Xi Concubine and Xi Hou finished their marriage, she cried to Xi Hou about the humiliation she had suffered in Cai Guo, and Xi Hou was furious, and immediately decided to teach the open-mouthed old pervert a lesson, and use it to please the beauty.

Xiguo is located in Xixian County on the north bank of the Huai River, and Cai Guo is located on the east bank of Rushui Shangcai; The two countries share the same surname and have been allied for several generations. However, because the current monarchs of both countries belong to the kind of small-bellied characters, the relationship is not as close as it seems on the surface.

Twenty-nine years ago (the eleventh year of Lu Yin Gong), the old Marquis led his troops to fight a battle with the rising Zheng State, and some people predicted that the Xi Kingdom would soon perish. The current Marquis is not as self-conscious as his father, but he is more insidious and stupider than his father.

Xi Hou believed that he could not confront Cai on his own merits, and that only by using his "extraordinary wisdom (in fact, extraordinary ignorance)" could he achieve victory. Ignoring the strong opposition of people of insight, Marquis Xi sent an envoy to King Wen of Chu and said: "Marquis Cai is rude to the envoys of great powers, and often colludes with Ziyi of Xinzheng to be an enemy of Liyi. When the Xiguo caravan went to Liyi, it was bound to be exploited by the Cai people. The widow couldn't bear it, so he wanted to marry a good king and serve as a soap servant for the Chu State. Therefore, the widow asked the Chu army to attack the state of Xi, and the widow pretended to ask for help from the state of Cai, and then the widow and Chu attacked back and forth, and the division of Cai would be defeated. ”

King Chu Wen ordered the envoy to repeat what he had just said to make sure that he was not experiencing auditory hallucinations. After confirming this, he secretly sighed: Xi Hou really has a unique secret recipe for harming his allies! can do such shameless things, I don't know how he treats his own people?

King Wen of Chu expressed his appreciation for Xihou's proposal, and the two sides soon reached a secret agreement.

At this time, Dou Qi had died, and King Wen of Chu was struggling with the issue of determining Ling Yin's candidate. In fact, people think that the only candidate can only be Dou Lian, but King Wen feels that he is more than literate and not enough martial arts.

King Wen of Chu thought that he was relatively mild (just relative), and so was Dou Lian; And Yeguo should be civil and military, so he needs a martial person to be his deputy. Therefore, he intends to appoint Peng Zhongshuang as Ling Yin. But as soon as the news came out, it was immediately strongly opposed by the doctors.

They said that Peng Zhongshuang was nothing more than a foreign prisoner of war, but he gained the favor of the new lord by betraying his prince and murdering his only competitor (Ziming). The state of Shen perished, his family was almost slaughtered, and it was ominous to elevate such a person to the position of Xiangbang. God knows what kind of traitorous thing he will do?! Why didn't the king choose a successor from among the royal family, but preferred to grant Ling Yin to a foreigner!

King Chu Wen said, "If these are all your reasons, then keep your mouth shut!" For even you do not believe yourselves when these words are spoken. Every plan Dr. Peng made when he was at Fashen was right! Because of him, the state of Chu was victorious; Because of him, the sacrifice of the kingdom of Shen was preserved; Because of him, the casualties of the children of the two countries were minimized. Otherwise, I'm afraid we will still be trapped in Shen Guo and won't be able to get out!

"If you don't destroy Lu, you will be made a prince; Peng Zi extinguished Shen, what is wrong with being made Ling Yin? Shen has become a county in the state of Chu, who would dare to say that he is a foreigner? The state of Chu is dealing with two big countries in the Central Plains, and who among you knows the people of the Central Plains better than Peng Zhongshuang? ”

In this way, King Wen of Chu broke through many obstacles and finally made Peng Zhongshuang the second Ling Yin of Chu.

In August, the Chu division marched north to besiege Xiguo. Xi Guo asked Cai Guo for help, and Cai's army crossed Rushui west and marched towards Xi Guo. The Xi and Chu people set a trap in the Xin land west of Rushui, and the guides of the Xi State led the Cai army towards the pit; Cai Jun stepped on the air and fell into the pit. Cai's army was flanked from both sides by the enemy and its allies. It was a perfect ruined battle: the people of Cai were perfectly ravaged physically and mentally, and the Marquis of Cai Ai was also captured by King Wen of Chu.

The Marquis of Cai Ai was brought back to the state of Chu, and King Wen of Chu did not know what to do with him for a while; Whether it is killing or imprisoning, it will have no practical benefit for the Chu State, but will push the princes of the Central Plains to the opposite side. In the end, King Wen of Chu decided to put him back and continue to be his minor prince.

At the farewell banquet, Cai Aihou talked about the cause of the war: "Xihou is a liar, and the contradiction between Cai and Xi is not what he said at all; The widow doesn't care who Zheng Guo is on stage and who is offstage! The real reason is nothing more than that the widow is drunk and molesting his fiancée. ”

King Chu Wen was full of curiosity about the lace news in the court, so he made a look of listening attentively, and Cai Aihou did not hesitate to use the most obscene description to reproduce the scene in front of the other party's eyes. He not only succeeded in arousing King Chu Wen's curiosity about Mrs. Xi, but also added fuel and vinegar to praise King Chu Wen's martial arts, and said that only a great holy lord like King Chu Wen was worthy of a woman like Xi Fei.
