Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 48
What is a wizard in the world?
Su Wang and Luo Wengong are people who are gradually becoming myths. The most recent one is Luo Xuangong, who holds the sky with one hand, and is still being praised until now.

Who are the sage kings and virtuous ministers recorded in the history books?
A person like Luo Wengong who knows the world, and a great sage like Luo Xuangong who can turn the tide from the fallen, exists in the story, and no one has ever seen it.

But now, the Qi people saw it.

"The ability of Zhongxiang is like the bright moon in the sky, we can't even be called the stars." This is the unanimous praise of the officials of Qi State.

"Seeing the ability of Xiangguo, I realized that King Su's words, the ancient sages, mastered the changes of heaven and man, are not empty words."

In the past five years, this kind of praise has flooded every corner of Qi State. Even a child in Linzi city knows Guan Zhongzhi's ability.

All the reasons benefited from the prosperity of Qi State at this time.

Five years ago, Guan Zhong Xiangqi, he carried out a series of reforms in the Qi State, within a few short years, the Qi State was rich and the people were strong under his rule.

A small defeat three years ago did not even raise a wave,

Do not pick up lost items on the road, do not close the door at night, the treasury is full, and the world is in great order.

In the past, I thought it was the words in the book. When it appeared in reality, the shock to everyone was beyond words.

In the Palace of the State of Qi, it was another year when taxes were filed, and Lu Xiaobai couldn't help smiling happily as he looked at the ever-increasing figures.

"A Zhong, in this lonely life, my parents gave birth to me, my uncle raised me, and you became me."

Guan Zhongjing accompanied the second seat and said with a smile: "The king is a person favored by heaven.

Being able to have the current achievements has nothing to do with the minister.

On the contrary, the reason why I can gain a little reputation is because of your trust. "

Guan Zhong has always been like this, Lu Xiaobai has long been used to it, and asked: "Ah Zhong, when you first took charge of the state affairs five years ago, you once said to respect the king and fight against the barbarians, is it time now?"

Hearing Lu Xiaobai's question about politics, Guan Zhong sat up and said solemnly: "My lord, it's time to get rid of the barbarians, and it's almost time to honor the king."

Guan Zhong's words made Lu Xiaobai confused, and asked: "Isn't it the same time to respect the king and eliminate the barbarians?

Do you want me to fight against the barbarians alone in the country of Qi?The world is full of barbarians, how can the country of Qi destroy it? "

Lu Xiaobai was always optimistic, but he didn't think that Qi State could be so strong.

Qin State and Xirong have been fighting for nearly a hundred years, and there is no winner yet. Chu State has been a powerful country since Xiongdeng, and it is still fighting with Nanman.

If these barbarians were so weak, the ancestors of the Qi State would have wiped them out long ago, so how could they stay at this time.

Guan Zhong shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, my lord, I will explain it to you.

Since King Su wrote "The Way of the King", among the Xia, there is only one kind of prestige that is the most convincing, and that is to fight against barbarians.

Why is Luo State so prestigious among the princes?
Is it because of the trust of the Zhou royal family?The feudal lords and the royal family are still at odds with each other, so how can they admire the Luo Kingdom because of the royal family?
The real reason is that after each king of the Luo Kingdom, he will gather the power of the Xia and other countries to help the weak and weak vassal states, which has won them great prestige.

The State of Luo cares very much about the achievements of the princes in expelling barbarians!

It is extremely important that Xiong Dun ushered in the throne and was spared by Lord Luo Wen because of his meritorious service in eradicating the Nanman.

The state of Chu has been regarded as a barbarian for 200 years. Is it possible that just marrying a queen can be included in Zhu Xia?
It's okay to mourn the prince's accession to the throne, but it is King Xi who becomes the emperor in the end.

Chu State can be recognized now because a hundred years ago, Mr. Luo became an official in Chu State.

Luohou in the past dynasties never looked at the noble blood, but only looked at two things, one is to respect the king and salute, and the other is to fight against barbarians.

If you want to dominate the kingdoms of Xia, you must get the approval of Luohou.

If you want Luohou's approval, you must have great achievements in eradicating barbarians.

Moreover, Qi State's prestige among other countries is not enough, and many princes still look at Qi State from the perspective of Lu Wujiu's time.

The five-year reform, the country of a thousand chariots, needs a brilliant victory to declare the strength of Qi to the entire Zhu Xia world. "

The existence of Luo Kingdom allowed the term Zhuxia to be engraved into the genes of the princes earlier with the development of Zhou Li.

After 300 years of development, a unified Zhuxia cultural circle has emerged.

The diplomatic etiquette between countries must be notified, and all major events between countries will be notified to other vassal states.

Even in history books, foreign historians will appear to record the history of their country.

If the monarch wants to kill the historian because the historian records his own shortcomings, then there will be records from other countries' historians, which is mutual identity recognition.

Qi's hegemony is to make all the princes in this circle recognize him as the leading brother, who has strength and prestige, and can do things for everyone.

Lu Xiaobai understood, and cheered up: "I understand what Ah Zhong said.

Now the entire kingdoms of Xia are trapped by the intrusion of Yidi.

If Qi State can gain the upper hand in the war with Yi Di, it will let all countries know how powerful Qi State is now.

In this way, inviting the alliance of various countries will definitely be beneficial, and my uncle can justifiably crown the lone hegemony. "

In the name of kingship, in the name of domineering, this is the path Guan Zhong chose for Qi, and it is also what Luoxiu expects to see.

"Lei!
It is really hateful. Since the founding of the country by the ancestors, Laiyi has been invading endlessly, and wars have continued for 300 years.

100 years ago, when the state was weak, they invaded the Central Plains together with other barbarians. Such barbarians who refused to accept the king, if the country is strong, they cannot be wiped out, and they must have no destiny to dominate! "

The two monarchs and ministers made a war plan against Laiyi, and the whole Qi State immediately moved into action. Guan Zhong divided it into towns dedicated to fighting, and began to mobilize soldiers.

These Chinese people have been organizing training all the time. Compared with the peasant soldiers and slave soldiers who were temporarily recruited in the past, their combat effectiveness is not known to be stronger.

Moreover, Qi has a large population and a large number of troops.

Qi State is a big country. According to Zhou etiquette, it can have three armies, that is, 500 people. In fact, the number of armies in many countries is very false.

Qi's army naturally far exceeds this number, but now that the royal family is declining and there are many barbarians, all countries generally far exceed the regulations.

The regular army of Qi State this time brought a total of [-]. Of course, there are not so many elite soldiers among these people. For example, there are only a few thousand elite soldiers who are completely out of production like the warriors of Luo State.

But the other [-] people are definitely not the kind of army that can be defeated at a touch of a touch. These people are also soldiers who have undergone military training. This is the strategy of the unity of soldiers and civilians in Guan Zhong's reform.

Even with Qi's current wealth, it would take some time to mobilize the huge amount of food and grass needed for an army of [-] to go out.

As for chariots, needless to say, Qi is now a country of a thousand chariots, but it is also a country of a thousand chariots, so there are differences.

For example, the state of Qi has thousands of chariots, while the state of Song really only has [-] chariots. If it breaks down during a battle, I am afraid there will be no spares.

Because this is the first battle of Qi State before Zhu Xia, Guan Zhong is very cautious, considering all aspects, it took three full months just for the preliminary preparation.

Faced with the mobilization of an army of more than [-], only a fool would lead the army to go out within a few days. That is not called fighting, it is called death.

After Dr. An Ning lost to Qu Guo last time, he felt ashamed, so he no longer led the army himself, but escorted food and grass instead.

This time, Zhang Qi led the army in the Qi State, and he was personally selected by Guan Zhong as the Grand Sima of the Qi State. Guan Zhong accompanied the army as the Prime Minister.

Zhang Qi was born in the royal family of the Yan State, and was a nobleman of the Yan State who followed Xi Yirong's promotion to Mrs. Qi according to the usual practice.

These years can be considered to have won Lu Xiaobai's trust.

He was brave and resourceful, and Guan Zhong valued him very much. This time he conquered Lai Yi, and specially appointed him as a general.

Outside the city of Linzi, Lu Xiaobai saw off Guan Zhong and Zhang Qi in person, each holding a glass of wine.

"Zhang Qing, one hundred thousand sons of Qi will be handed over to you. When you come back from victory, you will be rewarded."

Zhang Qi held the wine and said: "My lord, I was originally just an idle family member in the Yan Kingdom, and I followed my wife to the Qi Kingdom to spend my days in vain.

I didn't expect to be able to gain your trust and command the army just by making a small amount of credit.

I know that this is all your love for your wife and your trust in Zhongxiang, which has benefited my minister.

Su Wang said that it is not enough to be a human being if you receive favors from others but do not repay them.

Now I finally have the opportunity to go to the battlefield to repay your kindness.

The minister is willing to pay any price, even if he cannot go to the sky to meet Haotian and King Su after death, he must win the Laiyi Kingdom for you.

Your Majesty, please be honored by your ministers! "

As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Xiaobai, choking with sobs.

Even the etiquette of kneeling on one knee is very important in this era, Lu Xiaobai quickly helped Zhang Qi up, and said emotionally: "Okay, Zhang Qing, I am alone in Linzi City, waiting for good news from you and Xiangguo."
