Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 51 The Alliance of Blue Wings
BlazBlue.

In Qi State, this is not a famous city, but Lu Xiaobai chose this place because the name has a good meaning. Qi State will soon spread its wings and rule the roost for nine days.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a name now, Qi Yan was also unknown at the beginning, but Luo Wengong met the princes and princes in Qiyan, and finally achieved a great cause, wouldn't he still be famous in history?
The state of Qi has already built a tall loess platform here, which is higher than the regulation of the alliance of princes under the order of the king, and all the things needed for the alliance have been prepared.

This is the first meeting of the Qi State, and more than a dozen princes have been invited, but it is not yet known how many princes will come to meet the appointment.

Lu Xiaobai's expression was full of anxiety, but Guan Zhong's expression was very calm.

"Ah Zhong, aren't you worried that no princes will come to form an alliance?

Although we have just defeated the Laiyi Kingdom, which caused a great shock among the Xia, the political situation in the Qi Kingdom has been turbulent for decades, and it has no prestige among the countries.

If no one comes, wouldn't Qi become a joke?

If Gu had the prestige of his uncle, the princes would definitely follow the scenery, so Gu would not worry about it. "

Guan Zhong naturally understood Lu Xiaobai's worries, he was a member of the Luo family, and he knew the prestige of the Luo family even more, so he sipped the wine carefully and comforted him: "My lord, you don't need to belittle yourself.

Luohou's prestige was not earned by himself, it was accumulated by the unswerving efforts of successive Luohous for nearly 400 years.

Besides, although Luohou's prestige is high, it may not be a good thing.

The Luohous of the past dynasties have fallen into the shackles of prestige, and their every move has attracted countless people's attention.

He is not an ordinary person, but has become a symbol.

There is already a fixed image in the hearts of the people of the world, even if the world has changed for thousands of years.

Luohou must be like that, and it can only be like that.

Is this something human can do?Perhaps it was the will of the heavens, which gave Luo the mission.

Therefore, although Luohou has unparalleled prestige, but at the same time it is also placed on top of it. Otherwise, with Luo's strength, he would have annexed those small countries long ago.

But Luo Guo can't do it, because it's not proper.

Once he breaks that barrier, the 400-year reputation will collapse, and everyone will feel uncomfortable in the strange Luo Guohui. "

This is the first time Xiaobai has heard this kind of statement, and he is very curious, "So uncle is capable but not the overlord, but leaves this matter to Gu to do?"

Guan Zhong smiled and nodded, "Of course.

Therefore, regardless of other princes, Luohou will definitely send someone.

And I expected that it should be Prince Xi, Luohou would not come here to steal the limelight from you, the monarch. "

Lu Xiaobai patted his knees and said: "If uncle comes, it doesn't matter if he gives up the position of leader.

If he doesn't come, Gu will unify the princes for his uncle and help Zhu Xia. This is the long-cherished wish of Su Wang's lineage. "

In fact, Guan Zhong still had confidence in his heart, not to mention other countries this time, Han, Xing, and Ju would definitely come.

As for the countries such as Wei, Song, Zheng, and Qu, they will not come if they don't come. They just need some vassal states to demonstrate the military power of Qi.

While the two were talking, they heard the guard report that Luo Guo's convoy had arrived. Guan Zhong and Lu Xiaobai didn't expect Luo Guo to come directly to the meeting place without handing over the documents first.

The two looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that Luo Guo really supported Qi's hegemony without any hesitation, so Lu Xiaobai hurriedly took Guan Zhong out to greet him.

Luo Xi walked into the place of the alliance, and saw the magnificent rammed earth platform of the alliance. The yellow earth had been watered, and now it was very firm, and there was no dust when walking on it.

Can't help nodding in satisfaction, it seems that Qi Guo put his heart into this alliance, and then saw Lu Xiaobai and Guan Zhong running towards him.

"Brother!" Lu Xiaobai hadn't seen Luo Xi for many years, and he felt very kind. Suddenly, he felt like returning to the country of Luo. He was about to bow down to salute Luo Xi, but Luo Xi directly supported him.

"Qihou can't do it!" Luo Xi said seriously: "You are Qihou canonized by the Son of Heaven, I'm just the prince of Luo Kingdom, how can there be any reason for the superior to worship the inferior first?
Back then, King Su was ordered to be the regent to assist King Kang, so he only dared to be worshiped by King Kang once, and then three times.

You worship me first, this is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette, Qihou, Prince Xi of Luo Kingdom, see you! "

As he spoke, he bowed down to Lu Xiaobai, and everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but feel good about Luo Xi, as he deserves to be the queen of Su Wang.

Naturally, Luo Xi's move was not only because of etiquette, but also because he wanted to give everyone a signal that Luo State supported Qi State a lot.

Luo family is an important part of the sanctity of Bangzhou, which is what Qi needs.

Lu Xiaobai didn't want to accept this obeisance at first, but Guan Zhong pulled his sleeve from behind, and Lu Xiaobai, who always obeyed Guan Zhongyan, received Luo Xi's obeisance.

Then immediately turned around and thanked them, and the two walked in holding hands.

Entering the place of the alliance, Lu Xiaobai said happily: "My brother is very happy to be able to come, and I don't need to panic anymore.

Previously, the countries had not handed in the documents, so I don't know how many countries could come, but the presence of the Luo country is better than tens of millions. "

Luo Xi smiled and said: "Qi has always been a powerful country in the east, especially just after defeating Laiyi, expanding the land for thousands of miles, and shaking the Xia. In the past 50 years, it has been counted among the Xia and other countries. Is there a second prince who can have such power? ?”

With the arrival of Luoxi, the replies of other princes gradually arrived, Han, Xing, Ju, Cai, and Chen all agreed to come to the alliance.

Song State was in civil strife so no one came, Yan State was fighting with Shanrong, Qu State did not come because of the previous war with Qi State, and some vassal states attached to Qu State and Song State also did not come.

As for Wei Guo and Zheng Guo, which are slightly larger countries, they are still waiting and watching. They are all princes with the surname Ji.

This means that Qi State has a special status among princes with different surnames. If Chu State and Qin State dared to invite them to form an alliance, they would probably directly humiliate them.

The scale of this alliance is really not big, it is not even as big as the Qiyan alliance organized by Luo Wengong and others 200 years ago. Faced with this situation, Lu Xiaobai felt a little shameless and wanted to retreat.

"Brother, Ah Zhong, there are so few countries participating in the alliance, the leader of the alliance is not as good as being appointed by the king and the princes, what is the significance of this alliance?

Should we change the timing and hold the meeting again? "

Luo Xi persuaded her seriously: "Xiaobai, you said a few days ago that you want to respect the king and fight against the barbarians, but now it's just that a few countries that don't know the actual situation have not yet arrived.

As the saying goes, three people make a crowd, and now five countries are willing to come. If you change the time of the alliance now, you will lose credibility among the countries that are willing to come to the alliance.

When the next alliance is held, maybe they won't come, which will have a great impact on your prestige.

The accumulation of prestige should not be rushed. You have only been a monarch for five years, and if you win the Laiyi Kingdom, there will be Han, Xing, Ju, Cai, and Chen willing to listen to you.

This is already a very good result.

Since the establishment of Bangzhou, except for King Qin, all the princes who have been allied with the Son of Heaven have always been.

If you can meet all the nations as a vassal this time, this is a deed worthy of being recorded in the history books.

In the future, when you respect the king and fight against the barbarians, and your power grows stronger, I am afraid that all the princes in the world will follow you.

Such a high prestige of the Luo Kingdom comes from respecting the king for 300 years. If the Qi Kingdom can respect the king for a hundred years, maybe it will be another Luo country? "

Luo Xi's words made Lu Xiaobai's heart agitated, so he stopped thinking about changing the time for the alliance, and when the five kingdoms came, the alliance officially began.

The State of Luo did not participate in the alliance, but only as a witness, announcing to the world that Luo State and Qi State's behavior of respecting the king and expelling barbarians supported it.

This can be regarded as showing goodwill to the royal family, and warned the countries of Xia that although Luo State no longer serves as the son of heaven, it is still very concerned about the survival of the royal family. When doing things with the royal family, it is still necessary to pay attention to it, otherwise Luo State will not be able to Will be lenient.

Guan Zhong echoed: "My lord, if the country of Yan does not come, the war will not be able to escape. The Marquis of Yan handed me a document to express my apology to our country and express my willingness to regard you as the leader of the alliance. This is understandable.

As for Qu Guo, Zheng Guo, Wei Guo, and Song Guo not coming, when the alliance is over, you will attack Qu Guo first, in the name of disrespecting the royal family, and attack him, and you will be able to avenge Nagano three years ago. "

The princes of the six countries gathered in Cangyi.

Lv Xiaobai, the Marquis of Qi, sat on the throne, Luoxi on the right, and Guan Zhong on the left, and said to the monarchs of the Five Kingdoms: "Guyu inherited the throne five years ago, and the day before yesterday he flattened the Laiyi, swept the Qi State for 300 years, and received 50 Yi People in Qi.

King Su once said that the ruler of Xia and the people changed from barbarians to Xia, and the great cause of kingship must be like this.

I can't bear to see that the kingdoms of Xia and other countries are deeply intruded by barbarians and Di Di, and I am willing to lend a helping hand, so today I will make an alliance with the princes here, respect the order of the emperor, and save the kingdoms from life to death.

During the reign of King Yi and Duke Xuan of Luo, the barbarians invaded, and all Xia and all kingdoms in the world joined forces, so the country was preserved.

Now that the royal family is in decline, they elect the leader of the princes and alliance, reunite the Zhu Xia, respect the leader of the alliance, and command the world! "

Lu Xiaobai's words were already expected when the five kingdoms came, and saw Prince Luo sitting on the right side of Marquis Qi, slightly closing his eyes, not saying a word, which was already the tacit gesture.

Several people looked at each other for a while, and the Marquis of Han said, "Qi was granted by King Wu.

In the world, only Luo and Qi are so ancient. Although someone is also a marquis, there are also high and low among marquises.

Qi State is high and Han State is low.

In the past 300 years, the number of marriages between the Duke of Qi and the royal family has been unrecordable, and the bloodline is also extremely noble.

A few days ago, the Qi State wiped out the Laiyi State, which was the strongest Yidi force on the eastern land, enough to see the strength of the Qi State.

Regardless of title, lineage, or strength, Qi State is the strongest. If you are not the leader of this alliance, Marquis of Qi, other people will not be able to convince everyone.

At least someone won't accept it. "

Marquis Xing and Marquis Han always wore a pair of trousers, and they immediately followed up and said, "What Marquis Han said is absolutely true, you should be the leader of this alliance, Marquis Qi."

The other princes of the Three Kingdoms naturally agreed, Luo Xi saw that the time was right, so he opened his eyes and said: "Today is really a grand event.

Qihou can get the unanimous praise of many princes, he must be a virtuous person, Zhu Xia needs people like you to keep moving forward.

When I came here, my father once said that if there are virtuous princes in the alliance, Luo Guo must participate in the alliance.

Now I am very gratified. Since King Xi, all the Xias have fallen, and a great sage finally appeared among the princes of all countries.

Presumably, Su Wang's ancestors would be gratified to see the grand occasion of Zhu Xia. "

In a few words, Luo Xi raised Lu Xiaobai to a very high position. This is a big investment, and Lu Xiaobai must be allowed to dominate.

Lu Xiaobai himself was a little embarrassed, but Guan Zhong was very excited, even though he didn't expect Luohou to exert such a great effort.

It seems that Luohou was already planning this matter when he sent Xiaobai back to China.

He hastily tugged at Lu Xiaobai's sleeves, Lu Xiaobai was like waking up from a dream, and hurriedly said: "Xiaobai is just a fledgling, only has a small achievement, and he can't deserve such a high praise.

Now that the covenant has just been established, it is about to let all the kingdoms of Xia see the deeds of the king's loyal ministers, crusade against the disobedient ministers, and wipe out the barbarians. "

So several people stood still on the rammed earth platform, released the cow's blood and dripped it into the altar, and together they turned to Haotian and swore the blood to form an alliance with King Su.

"The supreme and noble Haotian, the most holy and noble King Su.

The descendants of Zhu Xia pray to you and look forward to your blessing.

We swear an oath in front of you to jointly honor the order of the emperor and maintain the orthodoxy of Zhu Xia. "

[With the opening of the hegemony, your family has made an indelible historical contribution, and you have obtained the only item of the Yellow Rank—like your arms and fingers. 】

[Yellow rank unique · like arm and finger (I lead troops, only more but not less): The user gains the command ability to command an army of more than 20 people on the frontal battlefield. 】

Huang Jie still has the only prop?

Then Ji Zhao was a little silent when he saw the effect. This card made him a little speechless. The number of 20 is very good.

The results of the BlazBlue Alliance will be notified to all countries according to the usual practice.

An alliance of eight countries, including Qi, which just defeated Laiyi, and the prestigious Luo.

This is not a small collection of forces, which quickly aroused the reactions of many countries.

Especially the King of Qu, who had offended Qi three years ago, was in constant panic.

However, although Lu Xiaobai really wanted to deal with him immediately, the banner of respecting the king and fighting the barbarians was not so easy to carry. Han, Xing, and Yan had been invaded by Di people for a long time, and now it was time for him, the leader, to show his value.

Luo Xi returned to the country, explained the process and results of the alliance to Luo Xiu in detail, and commented: "Father, the princes didn't have a particularly big reaction to Xiao Bai's move to dominate, on the contrary, they cared more about him. Will he be able to fulfill his promise to eradicate the barbarians and uphold justice?"

These are things that others will not pay attention to, but Luo Guo has always been paying attention to this information.

Luo Xiu sighed after hearing this: "This proves that our judgment is not wrong, the princes have gradually begun to ignore the emperor subconsciously, and they care more about the construction of a new order.

If there are some events that completely destroy the patriarchal clan system and the ritual and music system, the royal family may not even be able to sit on the throne. At that time, the building that the ancestors said will collapse. "

Luo Xi paused for a moment and said, "Father, it's not good that the Jin Kingdom didn't come to participate in the alliance.

After all, our goal is to transfer the position of the overlord between Qi and Jin. If these two princes do not submit to each other, wouldn't the Central Plains princes have two centers? "

If Luo Xi's words spread, it would immediately cause an uproar. On the surface, Luo Guo actually tried to manipulate the overlord.

In fact, they didn't know Luoxiu's helplessness. In the entire Zhu Xia, there are only three superpowers, Qi, Jin and Chu. Qin in the west has potential and is also gaining momentum, but it is still at the second-rate stage.

Luo State does not discriminate against Chu State, but the fundamental interests of Chu State and the royal family are different. Can Chu State be satisfied with just being a hegemon?
Counting times in history, there was only a short 20-year honeymoon period during Xuan Gong's time. It was because of the special circumstances at that time that Chu State could be controlled.

Now that time has changed, the political capital accumulated by Duke Xuan for the royal family has been wiped out, financial resources are incomparable, not to mention military, how can there be a strong army without money?

Now Chu and Qin are integrating internally, and they will definitely enter the Central Plains in the future.

Among the kingdoms, Qi and Jin were the only ones capable of controlling them, so Luo could only choose these two countries, even at the cost of sacrificing the authority of the royal family.

"The state of Jin has been busy fighting internally for these years, so there should be no time to take care of these things, and Xiaobai is the first overlord. You have to rely on yourself.

Luo Kingdom has assisted many emperors in the past 300 years, but there are not many who have achieved success. If a monarch is incompetent, no matter how much help you give him, it is useless.

The ancestor Wen Gong had the ability to steer the heaven and the latitude and the earth, but he did nothing under King Li, and he was able to rise to power under King Zhao. "

What Luo Xiu said was really helpless, unless the monarch completely let go, no matter how talented the courtiers are, they will not be able to offset the harm caused by a foolish monarch.

Not long after, Lu Xiaobai sent the first order to the princes of the alliance, asking all countries to send troops to help the Yan State and resist Shanrong and Donghu.

The Yan Kingdom is one of the big countries with the surname Ji, and it was entrusted early.

But the geographical location is not good, and the population has never been considered large, so the sense of presence is not high, and the strength is not strong. Relying on the assistance of Qi and Luo, it can be regarded as a relatively nourishing life.

When Lu Wujiu was the Marquis of Qi, he stopped the aid to Yan, which was one of the reasons why Luoxiu was dissatisfied with him.

Now that Qi State is strong again, if you want to choose a vassal state to show the strength of Qi State, then Yan State is the best target. It happens that Yan State is fighting Shanrong and Donghu.

Therefore, Lu Xiaobai, as the leader of the lords and alliance, summoned all countries to send troops, "Yan Kingdom is the surname of Ji surnamed by King Su. For 300 years, it has resisted the Shan Rong and Dong Hu in the north, and has made great martial arts.

We are in the BlazBlue Covenant, and we must advance and retreat together to protect the Taoism of Zhuxia. Now that our allies are in danger, if we don't go to the rescue, isn't it a breach of trust in the world?

Both Haotian and King Su have witnessed our oath. If we break the oath, won’t King Su punish us?

All countries should immediately assemble and send troops to rescue Yan, this is in line with morality. "

The countries responded quickly after receiving the order, and the Seven-Nation Allied Forces headed by Qi State rushed into Yan State.

The monarch of Yan Kingdom received these princes and monarchs who came from afar with a high standard, and said with tears: "I have been a monarch for twenty years alone, and today I know what King Su said, Zhuxia's righteousness, is not empty words.

There is a clear distinction between Xia and Yi.

The dukes assisted the Yan State today with kingly principles and righteousness. I am so grateful and full of words, I don't know how to tell you. "

Although he is in Yan Kingdom, Lu Xiaobai is the leader of the princes and allies, he still sits on the throne, looking at Yanhou with tears in his eyes, and said loudly: "Yanhou, although you have not joined the Bluewings alliance, but you are still in the alliance, Faith is the basis for the existence of the kingdoms of Xia.

Helping the Yan State is to fulfill the promise of the alliance. These are what we should do. After the Shanrong and Donghu are defeated, you, the Marquis of Yan, will reward the soldiers of the princes. "

When all the countries here gathered together and prepared to jointly crusade against the Shanrong, the Luo Kingdom sent three waves of envoys to the Three Kingdoms in the south.

……

The Alliance of Blaze Wings is the most representative event in the Spring and Autumn Period. It proves that the decline of the Zhou royal family has reached a very serious level.

After decades of chaos in the kingdoms of Xia, there is an urgent need for a new order to appear on this land. The Luo family, who no longer assists the Zhou royal family, is keenly aware of this situation, and later generations began to call it " Hegemony politics" method to maintain Bang Zhou's state.

The monarch of the Luo Kingdom consistently implemented this set of balancing policies, and the Emperor Zhou was gradually pushed to the top of the altar and became a symbol. It was not until the development of productive forces and changes in the international environment that broke the operating logic of this political behavior that the Luo Kingdom This system that has lasted for hundreds of years had to be abandoned. ——"The Operational Logic of Hegemony Politics"
