I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 372 It seems that everything has caught up
Forming an alliance but failing to fulfill the covenant is extremely rare in the current era. Generally speaking, it is not only a loss of points, but it may even turn against each other immediately in a blink of an eye.

At the same time, even if you want to rebel against the alliance after forming an alliance, you must clearly ask your allies to terminate the alliance. It is impossible to just ignore it.

Taking the former Zheng Guo as an example, their repeated jumps were not just doing it recklessly. Every time they could find a reason to cancel the alliance, but turned around and formed an alliance with the enemy of the former ally.

Of course, it is better to say that Zheng Guo was forced to be a pawn than to say that Zheng Guo is an alliance. After decades of repetitions, not only the reputation is completely stink, but the country has also been tossed hard.

The bigger the country, the more important it is to fulfill the obligations of the covenant, and it will cherish its reputation extremely. Many times, even if it knows that it will suffer, it will still fulfill the covenant with disgust.

This time, the Wei family is undoubtedly representing Jin to form an alliance with Chu and Song. The content of the alliance is probably to target Wu and Zheng together. There is no too detailed treaty, but a general direction of cooperation.

Although it is that kind of covenant, in general, the alliance between Jin and Chu is unprecedented, and it can even be said to represent a major turning point in history.

"The state of Jin and Chu, which fought the Hundred Years' War, have formed an alliance? Although it does not mean that the competition representing Jin and Chu has completely ended, the overall situation has really changed significantly." Zhiyao knew very well that this change was to bring Wu The country is on the cusp of the storm.

Of course, Wei's alliance with Chu on behalf of the Jin State was supported by the Zhi family. As long as the Zhi family and the Wei family stand together and the two families jointly formulate national policies, it basically means that it cannot be reversed.

The reality is there, the Zhi family and the Wei family together account for about [-]% of the strength of the Jin country, so what's the use of the rest of the family being sloppy?
The two former overlords joined forces, but they targeted Wu, which was simply too much of a face for Wu.

To put it simply?One day the bald eagle and the furry bear suddenly join forces to deal with the rabbit, other animals will not go into it at all, and the idea that comes to mind should be: What did the rabbit do, or what achievements did the rabbit achieve?Even let the bald eagle and the bear join forces to target the rabbit.

There must be a reason, and the reason is big enough, otherwise it would not be like that.

When that kind of thing happens, even if it is simply being targeted, other onlookers who don't know the truth will definitely feel jealous, and they will not dare to provoke it easily in the future.If it were being pushed as cannon fodder, things would have to be said otherwise.

Wei Ju didn't quite understand that Zhiyao came here just for a stroll, or if there was something she couldn't say clearly, she needed to use a subtle method of sending out signals.

In short, Zhiyao didn't talk much with Wei Ju at all, and after they met, they went north and went back to the fiefdom.

Does Zhiyao have any intentions?Of course, I took this opportunity to take a look at the terrain around "Puyang", so that I don't even know the basic terrain of the local area in case something happens in the future.

However, the Wei family and Song Guo didn't see it that way. They were troubled by Zhiyao's small actions. After thinking about it, they couldn't figure out why. Just ask Zhiyao himself.

A little action without special meaning will still attract enough attention from others, and the strong are entitled to such treatment.

Zhiyao wandered around for about two months, first returned to "Puyang" and stayed for another four days, and then embarked on the journey to another place.

Zhi Clan's political center has shifted again, it's not simply a matter of moving somewhere, there are too many preparations that need to be done.

First of all, is "Puyang" enough to be repaired, or does everything need to be demolished and rebuilt?
Next, if the center of the Zhi Clan is moved to "Puyang", shouldn't the surrounding Li Shu be changed?Move away the group of people who were originally from Weiguo, and replace them with people who have lived in Lao Zhi's house for generations?
Mass migrations in the current year are not uncommon, and earlier migrations were more frequent.

About 150 years ago, the capitals of all countries would move from time to time, and it was more normal for the nobles to frequently change their residences.

The reason is that living in a city for a long time, there is no perfect garbage disposal system, and there is a stench from a ditch, which leads to a gradual deterioration of the living environment. It is definitely unbearable to live in a stinking city, and migration becomes a problem. One of the options.

Later, why didn’t things like relocating from time to time, it must be purge and clean up from time to time.

Take "Xintian", the capital of the Jin Kingdom, as an example, after the autumn harvest, it will usually be cleaned up once. At that time, the king of Jin and other ministers and nobles will leave.

The time when countries or families choose to organize the cities they live in is basically not fixed.

Do you know about outing?For a long time, the master and his family went out to play, and the servants were responsible for the general cleaning. When the master and his family returned home, it would be a clean living environment.

Later, a festival appeared at the end of the twelfth lunar month, that is, on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, people would dust and sweep the house.

Zhiyao came to "Ye" city again, and just as her feet stepped on the ground, someone presented the latest information of Qi State.

About half a month ago, Qi Junwan assembled an army of [-] and fought fiercely with the rebel group headed by the Tian family in a place called "Jiagu". This time, Qi Guo Zhengshuo was not only defeated, but Qi Junwan was also hit by two arrows. Back to the "horse path", at the same time Qi Jun stubbornly did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Zhiyao looked a little confused.

Not long ago, before Zhengshuo and the rebels broke out in the Qi State, news spread to Zhiyao that Qi Junwan planned to attack Qi State. How could it have turned into Tian's ambushing Qi Junwan in "Jiagu"? ?

This time, instead of being able to stay in "Ye", Zhiyao stayed for one night and set off again the next day. She had to go to "Linzi" to monitor the development of the situation on the spot.

"Why did this happen?" Zhiyao summoned Sima Rangju as soon as she arrived at Linzi.

Before, Zhiyao entrusted Sima Rangju with the big and small affairs of Qi State, which really gave Sima Rangju enough trust and authority.

Sima Rangju didn't panic at all, and said in a steady tone: "The eldest son wants to restore Tian's family to the country, and this is exactly what I will do."

So, knowing that the Tian family is going to ambush, or let the Qi army fall in?

As for Qi Jun being stubborn?Unless Sima Rangju provided information from the beginning to prevent Qi Jun's stubborn army from passing by Tian's ambush site, otherwise it was definitely not something Sima Rangju could control.

Zhiyao didn't know to blame, it was purely Sima Rangju who made it a little suddenly.

Of course, Sima Rangju cannot be blamed. Many opportunities are fleeting. If you don't seize the opportunity in time, the opportunity will slip away in a blink of an eye.

One thing Zhiyao needs to consider is, if Qi Jun dies stubbornly, who should the Zhi family recommend to succeed Qi Jun, or should they annex Qi State in one fell swoop.

Sima Rangju said: "My family can do nothing at this time."

What do you mean?
Zhiyao stared straight at Sima Rangju.

Sima Rangju smiled and said, "If you want great order, you must first have great chaos."

It is almost impossible to use conventional means to completely destroy Qi people's nostalgia for Qi country.

If the court of the Qi State collapses completely, and no one forms another center, or forms an unrecognized center, or even several centers stand side by side, the people of Qi will not be tossed into insanity, or they will become insane. At a loss.

That's what Sima Rangju means now, in short, it is to make chaos in the area that was originally loyal to Qi Jun, and at the same time encourage Tian's restoration of the country.

"The Wei family went south to form an alliance with Chu, Song, Wu and Zheng Guo. At this time, the princes have their own entanglements, and there is no one to intervene. It is the time when my family manages a little. And, get the land , How not to destroy the country of Ju, and get the land of the country of Ju, which can be used as a barrier and a threat to the country of Wu. This is also beneficial to both!" Sima Rangju said.

Zhiyao felt that the stall was getting bigger and bigger.

It's just that, the mountains and rivers are just like that. If the Zhi family doesn't take the first step to control it, it will be too late to regret when it falls into the hands of others one day.

"Within the age of four in my family, there is about one 'army' of available soldiers. More will affect other affairs, Mr. Wang knows." Zhiyao can only say so.

Sima Rangju said confidently: "It is enough!"

Zhiyao asked: "How is Tian?"

The current Tian family is the one with the most power from the Chen state, and it is also a rebellion against the Qi state.

Those who are willing to cooperate with them look at the reasons why Tian can restore the Chen state, similar to the Wu state who is negotiating with Tian.

Out of their own interests, most of the countries are repulsed by the Tian family, and they don't want to see the Tian family rebuild the Chen country on the body of the Qi country... or other countries with other names.

The Zhi family belongs to the one that needs to be resolved after the use of the Tian family is over.

Sima Rangju said: "My family can sit and watch now."

right?Anyway, with Wu Guo playing, no matter Wu Guo is doing it to disgust Chu, or to let Donglai have a country that is friendly to Wu, they will definitely push Tian to run wildly forward.

Let Tian's rejuvenation make Chu State disgusted?That is, the state of Chen was destroyed by the state of Chu.

The news of Zhiyao's arrival in "Linzi" spread, and less than five days later, the princes of the Qi State came to cry one after another, asking the Zhi family to help uphold justice and send troops to attack the Tian family.

At first, Zhiyao would still meet him, but later she simply avoided seeing her.

Crusade Tian?Not only will the Zhi family not attack the Tian family now, but they will also implicitly encourage the Tian family to do big things.At this point, Zhi Shi and Wu Guo have common interests at this stage.

Soon after, news came that Qi Junwan was seriously injured and died.

So, Qi State lost five monarchs in less than 20 years?Among them, the longest reign is no more than six years, and the shortest reign is more than one year.

To put it a little more mysteriously, it seems that the heavens are going to destroy Qi. So many monarchs have been replaced in a short period of time. Without a stable central court, the country must be more chaotic every year.

Originally, the Qi State in history needed the Tian family to fully control the court to stabilize the situation. However, the Jiang surname and the Lu family have also entered the countdown to extinction. Guozuo of Jiang's surname Lu.

In this version of history that has been changed beyond recognition, Tian is facing a dilemma...
