As the signature face of the Song Dynasty, Dai Ju has an excellent reputation both domestically and internationally. Nowadays, from time to time, there are calls from the public that "the Song family is unworthy, and the Dai family should replace them." However, no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.
place.
As for the situation in the Song Dynasty, in the opinion of any knowledgeable person, it is probably impossible to continue to let the descendants of Zilu Fei ruin it. If this becomes a big deal, it depends on the skill of "Jincao"!
"Gentleman, why did we sneak into Sixi?"
"When we set out, there were too many people from Lu, so it is not convenient for me to tell you directly. Now that we have passed Surabaya, I will make it clear to you that this time I came to the west of Surabaya to go to Renguo and Zhulouyi."
"Ah?! Gentleman, now that all the Qi army has come out, and the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty has sent soldiers to come here, we are waiting for now... aren't we in enemy territory?"
The few followers who followed Wei Yu had panic expressions on their faces. It was already risky enough to convince Linggu Ge in Pingluyi.
Because as long as the time is just a little later in the morning, the team traveling together will see Qi Hou.
If we meet Qi Hou, isn't this a dead end?!
The followers were frightened, but the brave men of Baisha who were guarding Wei Yu had a calm look on their faces.
This kind of scene is actually nothing at all.
It's just that the followers have no idea about combat, so they appear panicked at this time.
In fact, in the eyes of Baisha warriors, the mud in spring is the greatest guarantee.
The chariots of the princes are just decorations and cannot run at all.
As for the cavalry, they are even more rubbish, unless they are divine horses like the Chollima. Because of their great strength and explosive power, they can run through the mud, but their speed is pitiful and not as efficient as the soldiers' shambling steps.
In addition, the "spring flood" has begun, and all kinds of depressions will turn into swamps and wetlands. Among large livestock, except for buffalo, they basically cannot play a big role.
This time they set out from the State of Lu, a journey of more than 200 miles. When they first arrived in the State of Lu, they had to travel at least 1560 miles by walking or driving.
But now, more than half of the more than 200 miles traveled was by boat and bamboo raft.
The power of spring floods has gradually emerged.
"Don't worry, gentlemen, just look at it!"
Wei Yu pointed at the rising Surabaya River, "After the Second Battle of Biyang, the Song army had very few ships. Even if Dai Ju, an old man, had to send out a large army, it would take as little as twenty days and as much as three months. Even so.
, there will not be many people who can adapt to the grasslands and swamps."
After a brief explanation, the followers immediately felt at ease.
They are also knowledgeable, and there are Baisha warriors beside them. A small group of elite soldiers are facing each other. These Baisha warriors are the most reassuring support.
"I have found out that Heier, the deposed crown prince of the Song Dynasty, is now under the protection of the Ren Kingdom. After the alliance between Qi and Qi, he sneaked into Zhulouyi again. I think he planned to borrow troops from Zhulouyi."
It is quite difficult for ordinary people to obtain information. Even though Wei Yu is an expert at spending money, he also saves money wherever he can.
Especially when I learned that Fengqiu, the official of Ren State, actually had a relationship with Li Jie, who was still a strong man in the king's life after the Second Battle of Yangyang. Although Li Jie, who is now the king of Hanzi State, may not still remember this.
A doctor from the small country of Sishang.
But this does not prevent Wei Ziyu from using this relationship to his advantage. He has carefully studied the mentality of these small Sishang countries, and it is completely clear that whoever wants to lick the other is forced.
Nowadays, the conflict between Qi and Lu is obvious, but the real reason is that "if you don't submit to the king, you will not accept the ministers", which is essentially a long-term struggle between the Han Dynasty and the Qi Kingdom.
Of course, it is also mixed with the grievances and hatreds between Qi and Wu, and may even include the hundreds of years of friction between Qi and Lu.
However, in a small country like Ren State, there is no shortage of people with normal brains. They can clearly see whether Hanzi State is strong or weak. The way the second forced Yang battle went like this has long frightened them.
If the former Xu Kingdom had such momentum, would the twelve kingdoms of Si be destroyed or weakened one after another? : :
So, when Wei Ziyu secretly appeared in Ren State in Weishan as a Hanzi's secret envoy, the king of Ren State directly sold the whereabouts of the "deposed prince" of Song State.
After all, the quality of this "wasted prince" is actually not very high, because according to the patriarchal system, a normal rotation would not allow a middle-aged old man from a concubine to inherit the Song Dynasty. Mobile version::
But the situation has changed. Nowadays, the rise of the Dai family is obvious to all. The Song family is not only squeezed out by the Dai family, but also their living space is squeezed by the vested interests of the entire Song Dynasty.
This gave the young masters of the Song Dynasty, who were outside the country, the hope of selling themselves for glory.
They used to be concubines, but now they are one of the "legitimate successors of the Song Dynasty"...
Ren Guo did not say that he directly sold the life of the "waste prince" Hei Er, but only told Wei Yu about the current trends of the "waste prince" Hei Er.
As a Han Dynasty traveler, Wei Yu later gave Ren Guo ten "East China Sea Glass Beads", saying that Ren Guo and Han Guo had fought against the Song Dynasty together in Fucheng. This was a long-standing friendship, and it was just a small gift.
Not respectful.
Ren Jun took a look and saw that the Han Dynasty was generous and powerful in its actions, so he became cautious and wondered if he could give the Han envoy another way to show the way. Would there be any benefits after the matter was completed?
Ren Jun was right in thinking, and he didn't want to be fooled. Doctor Feng Qiu left Ren Guo before Wei Ziyu, and followed him to report to the monarch. He said that it was during the Battle of Biyang that Ren Guo's "embassy" was also
It was completely looted, but in the final reckoning, there was still a surplus.
In short, the man Li Jie will not let others suffer casually, but of course the premise is not to take advantage of him.
Therefore, when the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, Dai Ju, sent an envoy to the State of Ren, saying that the two families would join forces to occupy the territory of the State of Lu west of Surabaya, Ren Jun was not stupid.
He carries ten "East China Sea Glazed Beads" in his arms. What is he afraid of? Is the land of Lu west of Surabaya so easy to get?
So Ren Jun blocked the benefits of Song State on the grounds that "Ren State is a small country with few people and does not dare to provoke provocations."
No matter how fragrant the land is, there is a war going on these days. Can they, Ren Guo, keep these highly productive lands?
As the king of the Ren Kingdom, wouldn't it be already great for him to have ten glass marbles after his death? Then why do he still covet the territory that he cannot occupy at all?
Especially in Ren Jun's view, the land of the Lu State west of Surabaya still belongs to the Lu State.
There are rumors in the market that Hanzi's 230,000-strong army resisted Qi and aided Lu. This Hanzi country is a friendly neighbor of Lu. If it offends Lu, it offends Hanzi.
If he doesn't offend Hanziguo, will there be more glass marbles in the future?
With such a small calculation, Ren Jun didn't want to get involved in Song Dynasty's affairs. Anyway, he didn't want to offend Dai Ju, and Dai Ju just didn't want to trick him.
The Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty Dai Ju was originally a casual move. It was naturally best if the State of Ren was willing to send troops. It was always easier to have someone to share the pressure. It didn't matter that the State of Ren was unwilling to send troops. Anyway, the biggest culprit was still the State of Qi.
At the top.
However, when Dai Ju, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, was full of confidence and thought that Zhu Louyi could be captured in ten days and a half by sending troops, the frontline troops who organized an attack on Zhu Louyi suddenly broke out in internal strife.
"What?! Young Master Hei'er is visiting Zhulouyi?!"
"The Prime Minister's report is absolutely true. Young Master Hei'er is now in Zhu Lou Yi. Sima Songji, the right-wing army commander in the country, heard that Young Master Hei'er was in Zhu Lou Yi, so he disobeyed orders and set up camp on the spot..."
"Song Ji?"
When he heard that it was the Song clan, Dai Ju's face darkened. What he thought was an easy matter suddenly had subtle changes, which made him very unhappy.
The purpose of this battle was to usurp the sacred land west of Surabaya in the Lu State. As long as it was obtained and divided among the people in the country who supported Dai's rise to power, it would be the final step in "Dai's replacement of the Song Dynasty".
But now, I feel a bit like "I have tried so hard to achieve so much, but all my efforts have fallen short".
Dai Ju, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, did not understand what went wrong.
