Chapter 257: Dilemma


Zhong Lianghuai was secretly surprised: "Why, don't want to betray Zhan Jiao" Gongshan Bufu smiled coldly and said: "Could it be that Brother Zhong is loyal to Zhan Jiao, you and I take refuge in Zhan Jiao, in order to achieve a career."

You and I each came with soldiers and soldiers, grain and grass, although unified under his command, from beginning to end it was only an alliance, we did not worship his door, nor did we form a brotherhood with him. ” Zhong Liang Huai said with a smile: "No, you can only say it here, you only need to say it now, you just need to lead people to leave now, and you can see if Zhan Nao, Gu Junhai and others will let us go." ” Gongshan didn't make a mistake at the root of his teeth, and said with a cruel smile: "Zhan Nao, Gu Junhai is a fierce god and evil, we are just muddy villains, and we can't say good words, we can still leave a relationship with each other, if they refuse to let us go, are you and I so easy to bully?"

When Zhong Liang Huai heard this, he knew that he had been extremely disappointed in Zhan Jiao, and made up his mind to leave.

He and Gongshan Bufu are the same faction, and the thieves under Zhan Zhi have always been incompatible, and now he has suffered serious losses, and he has to rely on Gong Shan Bu Hu, if Gongshan Bu Wu leaves and he stays alone, he will never come out again under Zhan Xuan's hands.

Zhong Liang calmed down and pondered carefully, and asked solemnly: "I just escaped from Pengcheng, and I don't know the situation here, but you have already made contact with someone."

The two of them are grasshoppers on a rope, sharing common losses and common prosperity, and can only advance and retreat together, Gongshan stared at him for a long time, and concluded that he would not betray himself, Fang said: "Zhan Zhi only knows how to run around with soldiers, and is willing to attack the city and pull out the village, wandering around, but it is not as important as building a fixed foundation."

The Lu army chased all the way, although it was tired of running for its life, but no matter how tired the Lu army was, after all, there was a foundation and a supplement.

You and I used to run under the Ji family, and we understand the situation of the Lu army, although the national strength of the Lu country is not strong, but the three huans of the Lu country not only support each other to resist the Lu monarch, but also often fight openly and secretly with each other, in order to protect themselves, loyal to the army of the head of the three Huan family, its armament and training have never been relaxed, and the strength is very considerable.

And Zhan Nao, this person has great ambitions but no great talent, especially the generals under his command, headed by Gu Junhai, every time he goes to a place to attack the city and pull out the village, the first thing is to search for big households, seize their property, silver their wives and daughters, and enjoy their exploits without accomplishing their deeds, so that the ministers and doctors everywhere have heard that the army is coming, or desperately resist, or help the old and the young to flee into Qufu, and no one is attached at all.

Although Zhan Nao repeatedly issued bans, but his subordinates are a group of indulgent thieves, there is no military discipline at all, Zhan Zhi is just the time to employ people, although these bandits have no military discipline, but they are not afraid of death when they fight, Zhan Nao can not criticize them, so that his army has been regarded as bandits from beginning to end, how can there be popular will to ask how such a character can achieve great things Seeing the appearance of the Zhan Nao army, he was really disheartened, and the land of Pengcheng was not lost, and he still had a glimmer of hope.

Pengcheng is sandwiched between Lu, Song and Dongyi, and the terrain is dangerous, extending in all directions, can advance and retreat, can attack and defend, when it is really poor, we will retreat to Pengcheng, can also support for a while" Zhong Lianghuai's face turned red, and he opened his mouth to defend himself, but he held back.

Gongshan Bufu continued: "But now that Pengcheng has been lost, the back road has been broken, after the Qilu peace, the soldiers and horses that Yanghu can draw continue to increase, and the Dongyi tribes have the potential to build a country and protect themselves, so even the Wu people who have never crossed the river have come to get a piece of the pie, this bowl of water is getting more and more muddy, if we don't find a way back for ourselves as soon as possible, one day we will die with these robbers who can only rob their homes."

So, after getting the news of the loss of Pengcheng, I began to think about a way out. ” Zhong Lianghuai pondered for a while, and slowly asked: "You and I are like lost dogs now, looking at the world, who can we take refuge in?"

Gongshan said unruly: "Qi country." ” "Qi Country" "Yes, the most ideal is the Qi State, the Qi State is strong, and the Lu State has never been taken seriously, not to mention that the Qi State has just had a big war with the Lu State, they don't care what reaction the Lu Jun side will have when we are sheltered."

Zhong Liang Huai said: "Yan Ying and Tian Qi of Qi are now in control of half of the country, if they vote for Qi State, who will they cling to?"

Gongshan said unruly: "Naturally, it is Tian Qi, Yan Ying's old guy has always advocated peace with Lu Guo, he does not approve of Lu Xingbing, and he will not agree to accept me." ” "Well, did Tian Qike agree?"

"I don't know, my people haven't come back yet, I've carefully calculated that the possibility of taking refuge in Qi is the greatest, and I think Tian Qi will gladly accept you and me nine times out of ten.

In addition, I also thought of other ways out, if it was not feasible to take refuge in the Qi State, I would retreat to the Song State. ” "Song State" Zhong Lianghuai shouted out in a lost voice: "I waited to seize Pengcheng of Song State, and it was a great luck that the Song people did not come to send troops to fight, how could they contain us" Gongshan said abruptly: "Brother Zhong, the characters in the temple, you and I have seen a lot, how can there be such thoughts, those who are in high positions have always only looked at the importance of interests.

The interests are related, and they are immediately like brothers; Interests are conflicting, and in the blink of an eye, they turn against each other.

Now that the Wu people occupy Pengcheng, the Song people will sit idly by and watch it, but the Song people and the Jin have suffered heavy losses in several battles, it is the time to use people, we go to them at this time, will they push us out, but once we take refuge in the Song State, there is the possibility of being sent to fight with the Jin State or the Wu State, with our current strength, that is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, if we are not really cornered, we cannot choose the Song State. ” "Even if the Dongyi tribes establish a country, they will be the most humble under the service of Qilu and Wu, so Dongyi does not have to consider it; You and I betrayed the Ji family, it has become a taboo for the three Huan, they can't wait to catch us, hang the corpse to pay respect, and they will never agree to us to surrender, and they don't have to think about it.

Wu Guoqingji is now thirsty for talent, scholars can be promoted to prime minister, and ordinary people can also be officials for meritorious service, but it is an excellent place to go, but unfortunately Qingji is about to marry Sanhuan, he and Yanghu have always been friends, with your and me's strength, he may not be willing to take the risk of losing peace with Lu to accept.

So if the Qi State does not succeed, the only place to go is the Song State. ” Zhong Lianghuai listened to his analysis, thought about it carefully, and paused: "Cheng, then we will wait for the news of Qi State." ” Since Chizhong led his troops to Dongyi, Liang Huzi got a strong help, so he asked him to garrison Pengcheng, and with this as the center, radiating the influence of Wu to all directions, and he himself personally led 10,000 elites to Yuqiu, where the queen of Dongyi was located.

Yu Qiu is an extremely rich land in the territory of the Dongyi tribes.

Around it, surrounded are the largest tribes of Dongyi, Ying, Feng, Cheng, Yang, Jie, Mu, Xue, and Guo.

These tribes named after their surnames have been passed down to the present day since the ancient Shaohao period.

In fact, above the tribes, there is also a Yan surname, and this Yan surname is the largest force in the Dongyi tribes.

When Shaohao's lineage was passed to the Xia Dynasty, its leader's surname was Boyi, and Boyi was chosen by all the princes as the heir of Yu.

But after the death of Dayu, he handed over the power to his son Qi, Boyi refused to fight with Qi, and was killed by Qi, in order to appease the princes, Boyi's son was divided into Xu and established as Xu.

When the Xu State was passed to the thirty-second generation, the national power was gradually prospering, and the monarch Xu Yan became the leader of the Eastern Alliance who ruled the Huaisi River Basin, and the power was still above the Qi State, and there were 36 princes around it, and only the order of the Xu State was obeyed.

At that time, the Zhou Dynasty was expanding externally, and King Zhao marched south, drowned in the Han River, and the whole army was annihilated; King Mu went west, consumed a lot of wealth, had to repeatedly increase taxes, the people were miserable, and the princes from all walks of life were dissatisfied.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yan's ambition gradually rose, his title was originally a viscount, but at this time, he ignored Zong Zhou and brazenly claimed the king, he was the first person to claim the title of king among the princes of Zong Zhou.

This kind of transgression, at that time, only Xu Yan, who commanded the 36 countries and was promoted as the leader of the alliance by many countries in the southeast, dared to fight against Zhou Tianzi.

Intimidated by the prestige of King Xu Yan, King Mu of Zhou ordered the Chu army to attack Xu on the grounds that King Xu Yan "overstepped" and built a city "beyond the system", and personally sent a large army to conquer, and finally burned Xu Cheng and killed King Yan.

Although Zhou Tianzi pretended to set up Xu Yan's son Zong Sui as the monarch of Xu State, but Xu State has since been under the suppression of Qi Lu and other countries loyal to Zhou Tianzi, and Xu State has been cautious since then, and has not dared to develop again, and its influence is getting smaller and smaller, so even the Dongyi tribes do not take it seriously.

Therefore, among the Dongyi tribes now, the most powerful ones are the ancient eight tribes.

Among these eight tribes, the strength of the Ying tribe is not strong, and the samurai are the least, but the Ying tribe holds the right to sacrifice to the Dongyi tribes, and there are many witch doctors and elders in the tribe, so they have a transcendent status among the tribes, and they have always ranked first among the eight tribes of Dongyi.

The Ying tribe is the tribe that most supports Ying Chan'er, and it is also the most devout belief that Ying Chan'er is a descendant of Shao Hao, and is the leader sent by the great god Shao Hao to lead the re-emergence of the Dongyi people.

The Wind Tribe ranks second in reputation and first in strength among the eight tribes of Dongyi, and their patriarch Feng Xingya is the father of the girl Xuanniao who once sent an envoy to the Wu Kingdom, he is a long-term vision, intelligent and wise leader, regardless of whether he believes in the identity of Ying Chan'er, he is actively supporting Ying Chan'er to establish the country.

In his opinion, the Dongyi tribes are like a plate of scattered sand, continue, Dongyi can only be gradually eroded by the surrounding countries, and the traces of Dongyi will completely disappear from this world.

Ying Chan'er's legendary life experience, for the Dongyi nation to provide a common belief in the basis of aggregation, the severe situation of the southern invasion of Qi, has a catalytic effect on this possibility, but unfortunately just when he contacted the ministries to prepare to support Ying Chan'er to build the country, Qilu negotiated peace, some short-sighted tribal patriarchs did not want to be subservient, began to retreat.

Feng Xingya hated and was angry about this, and seeing that the Dongyi tribes that had just been united were about to collapse again but were at a loss, at this time, the Wu people suddenly sent troops to the north, and they were in the hands of Feng Xingya.

He knew that if Dongyi wanted to establish a country, it would not work without a strong supporting force, and among the surrounding countries, Qi was the country with the largest number of tribes that eliminated the Dongyi tribe, and they occupied the most extensive territory of Dongyi, which was the feud of the Dongyi people.

The loudest slogan of the Qi State, "Respect the King", refers to them, and there is no room for compromise between them.

Lu has always paid attention to forbearance for the country, unless people ride on its head, it will not send troops to fight; As for the Song State, what they never forgot was to fight for a decent position among the princes of the Central Plains, and they had no interest in Dongyi, which was on the verge of the sea, and only Wu State could become their strong pillar, so after Wu sent troops, Feng Xingya cooperated with Queen Yingchan'er to make a series of actions to make various efforts for the Wu people to expand their influence in Dongyi.

He personally greeted Liang Huzi, the general of Wu, and welcomed him to Yuqiu.

Liang Huzi swept away the bandits from all walks of life who took advantage of the chaos, while helping the Dongyi tribe to train the army, with the tacit cooperation of Queen Yingchan'er and Feng Xingya, many Wu soldiers pretended to be civilians to join the army of the Dongyi tribal alliance, and were quickly promoted to non-commissioned officers, controlling the Dongyi army step by step.

But after the threat of Qi disappears, the dissident tribal patriarchs can't wait to restore the past social structure, most of them have the psychology of preferring to be the head of the chicken rather than the queen of the ox, once the country is established, there will be various classes of princes and princes, and many patriarchs who speak the same in their own tribe also have to obey the superiors, which they don't want to see, so they do their best to destroy the alliance.

Among them, the tribal patriarchs who have no hope of becoming high-ranking officials like Liuqing are the most active.

Cheng Bi is also trying his best to win over various tribes, make official wishes, and seek support.

Before Dongyi was founded, high-ranking officials such as the Three Princes and Six Qing had already been promised to the most powerful tribal chiefs, and some of these tribal patriarchs listened to Feng Xingya's insights and analysis, and stood on Cheng Bi's side, but the people who accepted this arrangement, among them, also had half-hearted people, and the situation was very complicated.

After Liang Huzi's army arrived in Yuqiu, these tribal leaders began to deliberately connive at all kinds of clashes between their subordinates and the Wu army, and there were frequent incidents of fights between each other's soldiers.

Wu soldiers often disappeared when they left the barracks and went on their own, often finding their horrific bodies smashed in a secluded corner a few days later, which fueled the anger of the Wu people, and the situation gradually developed in an uncontrollable direction.

At present, the queen of Dongyi is only an identity of the Dongyi people calling on the clansmen to defend against foreign enemies, Dongyi has not yet officially established the country, and the queen's binding force on many tribes is still very limited, so this situation, even the always wise Ying Chan'er is a little helpless.

After discovering the body of a personal soldier, one of Liang Huzi's subordinates gathered his men and horses in anger to eradicate a nearby tribe that had malicious intentions towards the Wu people and often caused disputes, but Liang Huzi stopped it in time, but the anger of the soldiers was increasing.

These phenomena made Liang Huzi worried, many things could not be solved by force, and the power and strategy were not his forte, Liang Huzi and Cheng Bi sent Dongyi's various difficulties to Qingji respectively, hoping that he could come up with a solution.

The messenger of Gongshan Bu came back from Qi State, Tian Qi is Shiqing, and he has always been high, and he does not think that the two house slaves under the Ji family are qualified to negotiate terms with him.

He accepted Gongshan Bu's begging with a condescending attitude, but asked him to continue to stay in Lu and Dongyi, fight alone, create turmoil, and create conditions for him to send troops again after defeating Yan Ying in the political arena, but the benefits he promised to give Gongshan Buwu and Zhong Lianghuai were pitiful, and Gongshan Buwu couldn't accept it at all.

In desperation, he had to send people to contact the Song State, and the Song people did not want to make enemies with the Lu State, as a country with an aristocratic atmosphere, and lacked a pragmatic style, and did not want to let two lowly domestic slaves stand on the court of the Song State as officials, and the messenger who was not ruthless had to return with a feather.

The desperate Gongshan Buwu was worried about his predicament and couldn't sleep at night, and in desperation, with the attitude of giving it a try, he sent people again, and Liang Huzi and Cheng Bi's messengers rushed to Gusu City successively.
