Chapter 99 Song Guo's election of a son-in-law (thanks to the Hunan cuisine master's monthly pass)(1/2)
Standing in front of the gate of Kaifeng City, Jiang Wuye rode on the swaying horse wrapped in red gold wisps, excitedly waved his golden and precious hand at the bustling Kaifeng people, "Ugly husband, look, look, this Song State is a dignified etiquette country!"
"How enthusiastic the people of Song State! It's much more enthusiastic than the people of Qi State!"
Jiang Wuye was waving.
The people of Song who saw him were also waving.
"Yes, if I were the people of Song State, I would be so enthusiastic..."
As a Qi native, he could only burst into tears. Feng Chou Fu followed Jiang Wuye with a sad face while commanding the 30,000 Jingewei behind them to sprinkle Qi's sword coins.
The snow-like Qi sword coins were falling on the streets of Kaifeng City, falling all over the ground, and the 30,000 Jinge Guards rode their war horses and drove into the Kaifeng Prefecture of Song State without stopping them.
The people of Song State and even the soldiers of the government saw a big financial boss with so much money. Both the military and civilians followed them all the way to pick up money and gathered more and more. There were long queues following them towards the palace in Kaifeng City, attracting the nobles in the city to look at each other.
Some people say, "Qi State is indeed rich enough to rival a country!"
"Prince Qi is so proud!"
"I heard that he went to Chu State and helped the people and civilians of Chu State all the way!"
"If our daughter Huaxu married Prince Qi, we can borrow it from Qi as long as our Song State lacks food!"
“That’s it…”
...
Among all kinds of different opinions, a woman was sitting lazily in a phoenix chair on the head of Kaifeng City, allowing the palace maid to hold a colorful yellow umbrella for her, covering the scorching sun above her head.
Several palace maids beside her tried to shake the white feather fan in their hands, and the palace maids were lying at her feet, holding a golden basin with ice to cool her down. Even so, she still squinted her eyes and frowned and said softly, "Don't you see such a big sun?"
The maids all over her body accused them of fear after hearing this.
"Girl, please spare your life!"
"Forget it, there is nothing good to look at in this place, but a prince of Qi has nothing but money. He has lost his good looks in vain... Let's go back! When the prince of Jin Liushang enters the city, we will see again."
The young lady frowned with her light brows and said slowly.
After the words finished, another commotion rang outside the city gate.
"Young Master, I know that the young master wants to participate in the Battle of Zheng and win the merits of this battle. However, Song is an ally of our Jin State. Even if the young master doesn't like this blind date, he will still sell the king of Song State for a face. This is also one of the ways to get Zhao Chuan's recognition."
The subordinate army of Jin State, who accompanied him, persuaded him.
"All right!"
Ji Liushang controlled the horse's reins and frowned and accepted.
Now the conflict between the Zhao family and Duke Ling of Jin is getting bigger and bigger. As long as one day, the Zhao family is no longer satisfied with Duke Ling of Jin sitting on it, sooner or later they will change to support him. Duke Ling of Jin has no son, and according to Zhao Dun's temperament, he will definitely not choose a child to succeed the throne. As long as he and Zhao Chuan have a relationship, he will definitely be able to get on the throne easily. However, he still needs a strong support to support him in the future to fight against the Zhao family and become the second Duke Ling of Jin.
As his aide, Xianmei naturally hopes that he can get the support of the State of Song.
This is more confident in fighting for the stockholder.
The female young man poked a pair of single phoenix eyes from the head of Kaifeng City, and her eyes fell on the noble young man riding a horse through the city. Her eyes lingered on his evil three-dimensional face and her powerful hiding body, and finally curled her lips with satisfaction.
"This person is pretty good. It would be even better if the identity of the young master of Jin could be raised. Let's go, we will see these people in the evening when we go back!"
"Yes, the young lady."
But when he went down the city tower, he was stopped by a handsome young man with white face. "Hua Xu, the princes and grandsons who attended those banquets tonight are not really like you. Only me, you know, I have always liked you since I was a child and are willing to give you everything!"
"But cousin, you have to know that you are just a doctor in the State of Song now, and I must marry a prince, or become the prince of the prince in the future."
After the woman finished speaking, she patted the young man on the shoulder and walked over to the city tower and said, "So no matter how much you like, it's useless. My father will not agree to our marriage. Cousin, you should win this battle between Chu and Jin for your father!"
"But Hua Xu..."
The young man held her jade hand and kept it.
"Cousin, if you do this, you are not the elegant and upright first son of the Song Kingdom that I once liked, Hua Yuan."
The woman held the corner of her lips, raised her delicate eyebrows and eyes, and glanced at him lightly, with no smile in her eyes, but her delicate facial features gave people a look of extreme joy. Then, a pair of cold jade hands pushed away his big hand and said quietly.
"I understand, cousin, I will definitely win this battle for you to show you, and recreate the hegemony of Duke Xiang of Song..."
Hua Yuan knew that no matter how to dissuade him, he would not change his cousin's wishes.
Unless you win this big battle, change the decision of Duke Song.
"If Brother Yuan really had the demeanor of Duke Xiang of Song to dominate the Central Plains, Xu'er naturally hoped that Brother Yuan would win the flag and return."
Hua Xu didn't want to destroy his ambition when he heard this. Hua Yuan was indeed a little talented in many young men in the Song State, and this time he was appointed as the Left Commander of the Song Army by Gong Song.
but……
Hua Yuan compared the prince of Qi and the prince of Jin.
There is still some strength to be without any strength to tie a chicken.
Her Song State passed down the world with benevolence and righteousness, but she lost her male domineering spirit and was a weak scholar.
But today's world is a world of power and hegemony.
Only the overlord can conquer the world.
The strongest domineer in the world is her husband Hua Xu wants to marry.
Shi Shiran took the people away, and Hua Xu returned to the city lord's mansion to prepare for the amazing scene tonight.
At the same time, the Chu army was in the tent outside Wancheng.
The generals of the six Ruoao tribes and the generals of the Iron Guards guarding Wancheng and Shencheng had all been gathered together, but the main position in the center was still empty. Ruoao Ziyan did not come, and the generals were thinking about how Ruoao Ziyan would fight in this battle. Ye Xiangru had already sharpened his sword and wanted to fight with the Jin army immediately.
At this time, Ruo Ao Ziyan asked Qingpu in his big tent, "Have you arranged the birthday gift for the princess before leaving to the East Palace?"
"Don't worry, young master, it should have arrived."
Qingpu stepped forward and frowned and replied.
"Well, but I guess she would be happy to see me winning this big battle than to see her."
Ruo Ao Ziyan stood with his hands behind his back, his lips curled with a slightly curled smile at the huge map of Jiuzhou hanging high in the tent, as if he saw Mi Huang waiting for him to return after he took down Zheng State.
Now they can only reach Xinzheng from Zheng State by passing through Changge and Xu City. Although Yang Wei and his men have stopped the Chen army from the south to Chu State, it is difficult to guarantee that the Chen army will not turn from Wanqiu to Zheng State because of the rotten body of Chen Gong in the city, and join forces with the Jin army with Changge or Xinzheng to block their way north.
After pondering for a long time, Ruo Ao Ziyan suddenly showed his sharp eyes and said to Qingpu, "Tell Yang Wei to attack Chen State with all his strength!"
"Yes, young master!"
Qingpu immediately sent Feige to send a message to Yang Wei, who was far away from the south of Chen State.
When he walked out of the big tent, Ruo Ziyan walked towards the Zhongguan, and only heard the generals of the Zhongguan tent discussing, "Zhao Jianjun, my Sun Wuyi is a rough man, and he doesn't talk so much. Now the coalition forces of the four countries of Jin, Chen, Song, and Wei will gather in Xinzheng. I wonder if Zhao Jianjun knows what the prince-in-law plans are now? Otherwise, we will sit in the tent every day and waste time. In the later stages, the food and grass that Zhao Jianjun is responsible for will be the most tense."
The speaker is Sun Wuyi, the most powerful general under Sun Hou, and the distant nephew of Sun Hou.
At this time, he was frowning with a pair of thick eyebrows and looking at Zhao Ming with a big knife on his waist, but Zhao Ming shook the folding fan and smiled, "You ask me about the prince-consort's thoughts, I don't know... Although I grew up with him, this guy is too thoughtful. He must calculate the third one, and he must take three steps. Just follow him."
"But the tenth year later, when the prince consort agreed to attack the Jin army, but now our Chu army has no movement. We are anxious, and the subsequent baggage troops led by Sun Hou have not arrived yet. By then, our army will be exhausted and we will be in danger."
The generals of the Iron Guard Army discussed for a long time, but they did not see Ruo Ao Ziyan appear. They couldn't help but feel anxious, but because of the reputation of Ruo Ao Ziyan's grandson's son-in-law, the son-in-law, was not easy to get angry, but they felt a sense of anger in their hearts.
A prince who had just left Yingdu did not know any military emergency on the battlefield. He would only be idle every day like Zhao Ming.
But as the commander of the three armies, even Sun Hou has to listen to his orders.
They had to accept it.
Even Ye Xiangru was so angry that he had been sitting on the bench for the whole morning that he wanted to fight immediately, but he could only stare at the top of the seat, patted the armrests of the seat, and shouted behind Ruo Ao Ziyan, "I don't care about your grandfather Xiang anymore. I'm going out to fight now. Let's go, Yang Qin, accompany me to practice!"
One-armed Yang Qin agreed to follow him and said, "Yes, General!"
But when he lifted the curtain, he saw Ruo Ao Ziyan standing outside the door against the light. The color was unclear. He swallowed all the swear words from his mouth just now.
"Xinzheng Capital is twenty feet thick, but it's no problem to stay for several months!"
Ruo Ao Ziyan glanced at Ye Xiangru who wanted to rush to the top every time, and said with a cold voice, "It's Zhao Chuan who wants to break through the capital of Xinzheng before our Chu army arrives on the battlefield. Unless a miracle happens, he can fly over! Or the four-nation coalition forces besiege the twelve city gates of Xinzheng at the same time, but now he has only brought 50,000 Chuanyun Cavalry south, and it will not be possible to break through the city in a short time."
"But when Jin State almost captured Zheng State and we will save Zheng again, isn't it meaningless?" Sun Wuyi stood up and asked.
"Who said it doesn't make sense?"
"First of all, the purpose of our battle is to open up the channel to the north of Chu. If Zheng is rescued early in the morning, it will still be as solid as a god, blocking the road to the north of our Chu State. The next time we fight in the northern expedition, our Chu army will be trapped in Zheng State."
Ruo Ao Ziyan said slowly.
"So we don't want to save Zheng who is intact!"
"Secondly, we did not make arrangements in advance and rashly attacked the Jin army that Yi Yi replaced, but only increased our casualties." Ruo Ao Ziyan continued to say as the generals walked into the central tent with his hands behind his back.
"So we must now step by step to attack Jin north, and we must not be more anxious than the Jin army. Only when they cannot understand our minds is the time for us to attack."
The generals heard this conspiracy theory for the first time. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, wars have also had war rituals, which are military rituals, respecting rituals and neglecting fraud, and valuing trust and cautious killing, which is related to the honor and disgrace of a country.
Zhou Li also divided the etiquette into five types: good and bad, and the military etiquette covers the etiquette of governing the army before the war, marching in the army, fighting in the war, and fighting after the war, and offering prisoners after the war. At the same time, it also restricts the commander and soldiers in behavior.
That is, the two armies issued a letter of war, made an appointment for the battle time and place, and then the two sides formed a formation and began to charge each other. The Chu State's military salute reached a point that made the world laugh.
Military salutes stipulate that the fleeing army ran a hundred steps, and the chasing army could only chase fifty steps, and stopped if they couldn't catch up. In a battle, the wheels of the Jin army's combat chariot broke. The chasing Chu army stopped to help the Jin army repair the wheels, and then continued to chase. Later, they were ridiculed by the Jin people, and there was an allusion of "fifty steps laughing hundred steps" among various countries to mock the Chu army's pedantic behavior.
Such a "pedantic" Chu army was even called "barbarians" by a great country that claimed to be a country of etiquette in the Central Plains!"
The barbarians even knew etiquette, but the people in the Central Plains used "etiquette" to fools.
