At the head of Baicheng City, Qingji stood proudly, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.
The wind came from the north, rolling the snowflakes in the sky, setting off his big feathers, and hunting sounded.
According to the distance, his men should have arrived in these days.
"The Qin State should send troops" The cold wind blew on his face, but Qing Ji didn't care, standing at the head of the city, his thoughts had already floated to the sky, overlooking the political changes in the entire Spring and Autumn Period from the highest place, and made the above judgment.
Since the dog Rong broke through Haojing, Zhou Youwang Ji Gongyan was killed, and Zhou Ping Wang Ji Yijiu moved the capital to Luoyi, the situation that was originally controlled by Zhou Tianzi slowly began to change, and today, more than two hundred years later, two major power groups have gradually formed: the Yangtze River Group and the Yellow River Group.
The Yangtze River Group was headed by the Chu State, and the Yellow River Group was headed by the Jin State, and the Chu State was good at calling the king and contemptuous of Zhou Tianzi's rule, and the King of Chu Zhuang had asked Zhou Tianzi about Jiuding, and his ambition was clearly revealed.
Although the Jin State had the heart of hegemony, as the princes surnamed Ji, they could maintain the orthodoxy of the Zhou Dynasty on the surface, and at the same time, due to regional discrimination and the conflict of each other's vital interests, they even carried the banner of maintaining royal power and regarded themselves as the guardians of the Zhou world.
In fact, as early as the time when the princes of Qi Huan and Jiuhe, respected the king and were the princes, the southern states led by the Chu State had already started a continuous struggle with the northern states that maintained the Zhou world, and now it is just that Jin has replaced Qi.
At a time when everyone in the world was paying attention to the war between them, the Qin State in Guanzhong was gradually growing.
The Qin State was founded very late, and their first monarch was originally only the leader of a small tribe, but because of the merit of escorting the king of Zhou Ping to move to the capital, he was named a prince, and ruled a large area of fertile land in Guanzhong, where the royal capital of the Zhou family was originally located, and the country has only been established for more than 200 years.
However, for more than 200 years, due to the innate geographical advantages of the Qin State, the wars in the Central Plains almost never damaged the strength of the Qin State, and they gradually grew into a powerful force that could not be ignored.
It's just that this force is not enough to challenge a big country like Jin Qi now, so they need to maintain the balance of forces in the north and south, so that the Qin State can benefit from it and continue to accumulate strength.
In Qingji's limited historical knowledge, he didn't know whether the Qin State had sent troops to help when Wu attacked Chu, he just combined the consciousness and knowledge of the two people he had, and made a judgment based on the current situation.
He believed that the gains and losses of this would not be seen by a person of insight among the Qin people, so it would be inevitable that the Qin people would eventually send troops.
In the Yongcheng City of Qin, at the gate of the palace city, the doctors are rushing in.
When they passed by the palace gate, the corners of their eyes would involuntarily glance at the palace wall next to them, where stood an unkempt middle-aged man in tattered clothes, with the crown of the representative doctor still tied on his head, but the crown was also broken.
His figure was crumbling, his face was haggard, yellow and black, his lips were chapped and slightly bloodshot, and his eyes were dim, but he still spoke in a hoarse voice, but his voice was hoarse and low, and no one could hear him clearly.
People who saw him couldn't help but feel compassion.
Beggars are naturally not allowed to stand under the walls of Qin Jun's Palace, but this beggar is a little different, what he is begging for is not rice and grain, but political assistance and military assistance, which is naturally different.
This person is Shen Baoxu, who was ordered to come to Qin to ask for rescue.
When he first came to Qin, he thought that he would be able to get the help of the Qin soldiers, and as soon as he went to the main hall of the Qin Palace, he hurriedly explained his intention to Qin Jun in front of the Manchu Dynasty, and said: "The army of Wu broke through the Yingdu, and the king of Chu took refuge in Suiguo.
Qin Chu is a good in-law, the current Queen Mother of Chu is the sister of Qin Jun, and the current King of Chu is Qin Jun's nephew.
Qin Chu was originally a family, but now that Chu is in trouble, he came to Qin to bring rescue troops and begged Qin to save Chu from danger. ” It is expected that Qin Jun has his own ambitions, and secretly thinks that with the power of Wu State, even if he destroys Chu State, he does not have enough troops to occupy the vast Chu State, and then sends troops to avenge his sister, just taking the opportunity to expand eastward and occupy the great rivers and mountains of Chu State.
Shen Baoxu pleaded again and again, Qin Guojun just prevaricated, Shen Baoxu was helpless, refused to go to the pavilion to stay, so he leaned on the palace wall outside the Qin palace, did not drink or eat, hunger strike to sprout his ambition, from morning to night finally said loudly begging, at that time the princes used the palace was not very big, Shen Baoxu cried and shouted outside the palace wall, heard clearly in the main hall, and the noise made everyone not peaceful.
Shen Baoxu and Wu Zixu were both close friends when they were both Chu Chen, and both of them had a tenacious surname that would never give up until the goal was reached.
If so, Shen Baoxu did not drink or eat, he was hoarse, but he was still standing under the palace wall, as if he was going to die of hunger strike, this attitude made many doctors in the Qin State look sideways and secretly sympathize.
Qin Jun saw him so uninteresting, his heart was so impatient, at that time, the secretary of state was exempted from going to the court every ten days, Qin Jun in order to avoid Shen Baoxu, let the ministers take three days of vacation, and watched Shen Baoxu die outside the palace.
I don't want this Shen Baoxu's vitality to be surprisingly strong, today, the three-day holiday has passed, and the ministers have gone to court, so far that Shen Baoxu has been standing outside the Qin Palace for seven days and seven nights, not drinking, eating, sleeping, and not dead, all the courtiers of the Qin State are all moved.
Many ministers have secretly decided to go to the court today, to say things for Shen Baoxu, and beg the Qin State to send troops to help Chu.
Unexpectedly, the ministers entered the palace, Qin Jun took his seat, and said: "King Wu is fighting Chu, this is not a righteous war.
Qin Chu has the good of in-laws, so he should be rescued.
The widow was impressed by Shen Baoxu's loyalty, and decided to send troops to aid Chu, sending 500 military vehicles and 40,000 elite soldiers, with Zipu and Zihu as commanders, and went to Chu to defeat Wu Shi" The ministers looked around in surprise, and they all stepped forward and praised loudly: "The monarch is benevolent, and the ministers support him."
Qin Jun and the general Zipu glanced at each other, twisting their beards and smiling.
Qin Jun finally decided to send troops, naturally not because he was moved by the loyalty shown by Shen Baoxu, but because Qin Jun and several confidants discussed and weighed the pros and cons.
More than 30 years ago, the two countries of Jin and Chu and several other vassal states held a "military alliance" in the Song state.
Jin and Chu respectively signed an alliance on behalf of the two major power groups in the north and south, stipulating that except for the two great powers of Qi and Qin, all countries in the world must pay tribute to Jin and Chu at the same time.
This time, the two countries of Jin and Chu were raised to the top of the princes of the world, and they were established as the overlords of the world.
The strength of Qin and Qi is only slightly inferior to that of Jin and Chu, and without the burden of these false names, in the past 30 years, the country has been peaceful and the national strength has become stronger.
The monarchs and ministers of the Qin State have already tasted the sweetness.
After repeated considerations, several important ministers in the central court of Qin believed that although Wu Shi was strong, the national strength was not strong enough after all, and the coexistence of Wu and Chu was more beneficial to the southward movement of the Jin forces in the north than the death of Wu Cun and Chu.
If the power of the north and the south is lost due to the fall of the Chu state, then the Jin state will inevitably become bigger.
This was obviously extremely unfavorable to the Qin State, which needed to seek development opportunities with a balance of power between the north and the south.
At present, if you occupy a part of the territory of the Chu people, but you have to bear the oppression from the north alone, it is far better for the long-term interests of the Qin State to still carry the Chu State to the front of the scene, and you will continue to retreat and recuperate, and accumulate national strength.
Qin Jun was as good as a stream, listened to the analysis of several important ministers, and thought it was true, so he finally made an order to send troops to aid Chu.
Shen Baoxu, who was dying, was put into the Qin Palace, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard the news.

At that time, he bowed three times, Shen Baoxu forgot his form, struggled to kneel on the ground, kowtowed nine times to thank Qin Jun for his kindness, and then his mind was slack, he fainted, and was hurriedly sent to the museum to rest.
The two generals of Yongcheng, Zipu and Zihu of Qin, began to allocate grain and grass, recruited sergeants, and prepared to send troops to aid Chu.
Such a big move is naturally difficult to cover people's eyes and ears, Yongcheng is in full swing to prepare, the Jin people placed in the Qin capital have already received the news, the spies rushed to the Jin State Yicheng at night, facing the wind and snow to send the news to the hands of the Jin Marquis Ji Qiji The world is about to be in chaos.
The cold wind swept the snowflakes, and the banner at the head of the city was constantly shaking, Qingji looked to the northwest, and since then to the northwest, stretching for thousands of miles, there are more than 100,000 troops stationed in the Chu State, these troops are used to prevent the invasion of the Jin State, but the Jin people go south, but there may not be only this road, but if they choose the road, they are bound to pass through many vassal states, then these vassal states will inevitably have to make a choice, position, and finally involve more and more countries in this war.
Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Qingji's mouth.
In order to boost the morale of the army, Fei Wuji announced the matter of sending an envoy to the Qin State to ask for help, and of course, there was also the matter of Wen Chong going to the Song State to ask for help, but he was not ashamed to say that this was also from his idea, as a way to show his insight.
This gave Qingji the opportunity, and one of his henchmen followed a Chu messenger, and pretended to be a woodcutter who told the reward, and denounced the messenger, so that he was caught by the Chu people, so that Wu Zixu grasped the news and made Ji Guang take precautions in advance.
Qingji understands the temper of his uncle, and understands Wu Zixu's mentality that he is never willing to show weakness in front of the Chu people, Ji Guang and Wu Zixu's choice is only to use the other way, return the other body, and also borrow troops from other princes, only in this way can he achieve his goal.
Otherwise, when the army of King Qin of Chu converged and slaughtered towards Yingdu, Ji Guang was shocked to hear that his twenty or thirty thousand elite soldiers also participated in the Chu division, and Qin also sent troops to help, so he could not resist in a hurry, and was forced to retreat to Wu because of the situation.
He had to drag Ji Guang and Wu Shi to the death in the state of Chu, so that his strange army in the state of Qi could play a role.
Wu Qingji smiled coldly: "This celebrity through the ages is not the same as being played by me. ” "Spring and Autumn Unrighteous War", when Qingji gradually grew from an ordinary drama with a soul to the leader of a political group, he understood this sentence more and more deeply.
Not to mention the unrighteous wars in the Spring and Autumn Period, from ancient times to the present, which wars under the banner of high-sounding and beautiful are not wrapped in their own interests No matter what banner it is waving, the ultimate goal is the word "profit".
There is no eternal friendship between nations, only eternal interests.
The interests of a group or class are inevitably premised on harming the interests of another group or class.
Even if you use some means, as long as you can make your own people less bloodshed and sacrifice, and pay less price, Qingji is now in peace.
He is no longer the naïve boy he used to talk about.
The wind was lighter, but the snow was more dense, and Qingji climbed the city several times a day to look out, waiting for his army to arrive.
It was the third time in the afternoon that he had climbed the city, but it was still a calm white in the distance.
He shook the snowflakes on his shoulders, rubbed his frozen hands, and was about to return to the city, when his eyes were extremely sharp, and suddenly he saw a black line snaked in the white snow field in the distance.
Qingji's expression moved, and he hurriedly put his hand on the canopy and looked into the distance, the moving black line was obviously a team, and they gradually got closer, and the flag that was high in the wind and snow had two big characters.
Far away, coupled with the dense snowflakes blocking the view, he couldn't see the big characters on the flag, but when he saw the familiar flag, Qingji had already recognized that it was his own team.
He cried out for joy, turned back, and ran downstairs.
After a moment's effort, the Chu soldiers pushed open the city gate, and Qing Ji drove a chariot out, and the wheels made two straight rut marks on the snow-capped white ground.
"Childe" As Qingji approached, the team stopped.
When Qingji ran in front of him, a person jumped out of a chariot at the front of the team and happily greeted him.
The tasseled helmet on his head was covered with snowflakes, his tall body, his face was full of beard, and an empty sleeve waving in the wind and snow was Liang Huzi, who had been following him all the time.
The soldiers in front of the "Meet the Childe" team gave a military salute to Qingji, and the news quickly spread to the rear, and the whole team moved slightly.
"The soldiers have worked hard all the way" Qingji waved to everyone, and then hugged Liang Huzi affectionately: "General Liang, I guess with your anxious surname, you must be the vanguard of the former army, haha the one who sits in the Chinese army must be General Jing." ” Liang Huzi's face was full of wind and frost, but he was full of joy, and when he heard Qingji say this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Gongzi guessed wrong this time, it was the Gongzi who was in charge of the Chinese army, and that kid from Jinglin was postponed this time." ” Qingji was stunned when he heard this: "Cover up Uncle Wang, didn't I let Uncle Wang sit in Aicheng, why did he come too?"
Liang Huzi smiled bitterly: "Gongzi Yu is your uncle Wang, he must come, and his subordinates have no choice."
The subordinates have taken Gongzi's general order to stop me, but Yu Gongzi scolded me with blood, he said: What is sitting in Aicheng, the three armies are exhausted, and they are all going to crusade against Ji Guang, what is the use of letting me guard an empty city Qingji bastard, just to prevent him from failing, or even die on the battlefield, and leave me to avenge him.
He is now managing such a scene, if he still can't defeat Ji Guang, even if I have a surname left for a long time, what can I do to avenge him, or go together, it's a big deal that our uncle and nephew die on the battlefield side by side. ” Qingji paused and said: "Alas, in this way, Uncle Candle Yong will go to Flying Fox Valley in Philadelphia, and he will definitely go out with the army." ” Liang Huzi smiled: "Childe guessed, before Gongzi Zhu Yong went to Lu Guo, he did say so."
He said, victory and defeat, honor and disgrace, all in one fell swoop, your army, Gongzi, is the last hope for the restoration of the country, if you are defeated again, you can only die and die.
He is a dignified son of Wu Guo, a good man, how can he let others serve in front of the battle, and he sits in an empty camp and steals his life. ” Qingji couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, Liang Huzi glanced back at the soldiers who were full of energy and fighting spirit despite the long journey, and said to Qingji in a deep voice: "The prince doesn't have to regret it, the two sons think like this, everyone in our three sergeants thinks like this, Ji Guang has been stealing the throne of the king of Wu for more than a year, and if it drags on, we will have no chance to drive him down, victory or defeat, honor and disgrace, it is really a move here."
Even the men are counted, and those who are willing to follow the son, each of them has been sent weapons to come with the army, and Ai City is already an empty city.
Each of us is willing to die for the sake of the son, the blood-spattered battlefield son is our military soul, no matter what danger, no matter what the enemy, our three army soldiers will fight side by side with the child, never give up" These words were loud, and they sounded especially impassioned in the roar of the wind and snow, and Qingji was moved in his heart when he heard it, and he couldn't help but hold one of his big hands, the iron-blooded man, and looked at each other and smiled, all without saying anything.
He let out a deep sigh of relief, and looked at his nail-like steel team in the snow, his eyes passing over the familiar and unfamiliar, young and vicissitudes of life, and suddenly his gaze rested on a small warrior.
He was wearing a half-body armor, a set of military clothes in the armor, a long sword on his shoulder, the sword spike was blown by the wind, and the spike silk would sometimes blow on his face, the plain face was like a peach blossom, and the handsome mess was actually Ji Sun Xiaoman.
She was standing next to a chariot, smiling at herself.
Qingji couldn't help but walk towards her, and Liang Huzi shouted behind him: "Childe, there is something subordinate to Childe" Qingji turned a deaf ear, walked straight to Ji Sun Xiaoman's side, and said in surprise: "You are fierce on the battlefield, what are you doing here, didn't I say, can you stay in Aicheng?"
Ji Sun Xiaoman glanced at him and said angrily: "Aicheng is already an empty city, what do I stay there to do, since I have nowhere to go, I have to come with me." ” Qingji knew that she was just a shameful word, the world is so big, where can she not go She wanted to keep her by her side and took care of her at the beginning, but she was still unwilling, and now she is willing to work hard to come to Chu State, how does he not know the girl's feelings Under the excitement, Qingji suddenly held her hands, a pair of small hands held in his big hands, cool, Qingji saw that her face was a little blue, and her little hands were red from the cold, and she couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "Aicheng has accumulated a lot of military supplies this year, can't you prepare a set of warm and heavy clothes for you, your body is so thin, and you are so frozen, if you are sick, how can you be a good Liang Huzi" A gentle smile appeared in Ji Sun Xiaoman's eyes, and his voice softened: "Don't blame General Liang, it's people who don't want to wear them, those military uniforms are too bloated and ugly to death." ” Qingji laughed when he heard it: "This is really beautiful and frozen, if you want to be beautiful, you won't die, right?"
Ji Sun Xiaoman rolled his eyes: "What's the matter, anyway, the farther south you go, the warmer it gets, and when you cross the river, you can't even see the snowflakes." ” Qingji shook his head, untied his big hat, and couldn't help but say that he put it on her shoulders, tied a silk silk for her, and said: "I really don't understand you, forget it, put on my big coat first, and wait until you get to Baicheng."
Liang Huzi rushed over and said, "Childe, there are subordinates" Qingji turned his head and snorted: "None of the things I told you can be done, and you have to um" He saw Liang Huzi squeezing his eyebrows at him, his expression was very weird, and he couldn't help but be stunned, he moved his eyes slightly in the direction indicated by Liang Huzi, and glanced there without a trace from the corner of his eye, this look couldn't help but be frightened out of the sky, and then looked, sure enough, although the person was covered in oracle bones and his height was similar to that of ordinary soldiers, but that face was clearly his uncle and grandson.
For a while, Qingji was suspicious of being in a dream: "How could she appear here when she shook the light?"
Then, his gaze lowered slightly, and his heart sank.
It's bad, his hands are still on Ji Sun Xiaoman's chest, his fingers are gently touching her cool and delicate chin, and the ribbon on the neckline is only half tied, this action, no matter how you look at it, is a little warm.

It seems that the wind and snow are a little cold, because Qingji finds that his skin is also a little stiff.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he met Ji Sun Xiaoman's eyes, there was still a shallow smile in those big eyes, but Qingji, who realized it later, suddenly noticed that there was some ridicule and smugness in those eyes.
Qingji suddenly hated, when did this tomboy-like little girl have a femininity, how could she show such an expression because of her own care, under normal circumstances, she should be shy and uneasy, and feel very uncomfortable.
She was clearly deliberately looking at my jokes.
Qingji glared at her fiercely, and Ji Sun Xiaoman replied with a nonchalant look, and the mischievous smile on his face became even more triumphant.
"Since you're here, I can't drive you back again" Qingji's eyes didn't glance at his uncle and grandson Shaoguang again, as if he had never seen his uncle and grandson shaking the light at all, but his voice suddenly rose an octave, his expression was serious, and he said to Ji Sun Xiaoman in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "I have a very close relationship with the Sanhuan family, the uncle and the Mengsun family have a great relationship with me, you are a member of the Jisun family, a woman is living alone, since I saw it, how can I ignore it, so I will take you in, if you are sick with me, won't it seem that I can't take care of it and wait for Baicheng, Immediately change into thick clothes to protect against the cold.
Hmph, what are you bloated in a heavy military uniform, you are only a few years old, you are still a child who has not grown up at all, who pays attention to your beauty and ugliness" Ji Sun Xiaoman shook his back to his uncle and grandson, stuck out his tongue playfully at him, wrinkled his nose slightly, and said coquettishly and proudly: "Tut-tut, the reaction is so fast, Qingji Gongzi, there is no less deceiving other girls like this, hehe."
Qingji sweated profusely, the weather was very cold, the wind was very strong, but he suddenly felt very hot and hot.
How could I "unexpectedly and naturally" suddenly find that the light was shaking in the team, and make a look of surprise and joy, otherwise it would be in vain Her two murderous eyes damn it, Liang Huzi just saw him, why didn't he say that Shaoguang was also here Qingji turned back to look for Liang Huzi as if asking for help, but saw that the place where Liang Huzi was standing was empty.
In the distance, there was a loud voice like thunder, as if he was afraid that he would not hear it.
Qingji followed the prestige, only to see that Fang Cai also said that he would go to life and death for him, and he was on the bloody battlefield, no matter when he never gave up, Liang Huzi shook his arms with one arm, his big sleeves fluttered, and shouted happily all the way at the top of his voice: "Brothers, the son is here to pick us up, brothers, I have already seen our son."
However, his steps were so fast that it seemed as if a dog was chasing him behind his ass and biting him, and it must not have been like a morale boost to the whole army, but rather like an escape.
There was a low laugh of Ji Sun Xiaoman's "eat" in his ears, and Qingji stared at the back of Liang Huzi, who was not righteous, and he was already speechless To be continued:
