I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Li Ran and Ji Le haven't seen each other for only a month, but his face turned paler.He felt that Ji Le's body was getting weaker and weaker, and Li Ran couldn't help feeling uneasy.

But in front of Ji Le, he still forced a smile on his face. Ji Le learned that Ah Chou had no hope of returning home, and he was extremely disappointed.At the same time, the hatred for Ji Sun Yiru is even worse.

"This thief is really hateful! Then...is there really no room for maneuver in the matter of Ah Chou's return?"

Li Ran persuaded from the side:
"Le'er, the old thief Jisun is more and more like his grandfather now. He pretends to be innocent on the surface, but he is very good at deceiving people behind his back. However, if there is no unparalleled road to the future, you just need to wait a little longer." In time, there is always an opportunity to do something! Now that Yang Hu is in a hurry to attack Yunyi, he might not sit idly by if he wants to come to Duke Gongsun of Qi."

Hearing this, Ji Le calmed down a little.

"If this is the case, then there should be a chance?"

Actually, Li Ran didn't have much confidence in this either.You must know that on the Jin side, after Lu Houchou made such a fuss, even if Xun Li went back and said all the good things, even if Zhao Yang mediated in it, Fan Yang would definitely make use of the topic, so that Jin Houwu would eventually understand this matter. Totally lost confidence.

As for Qi State, although it did not publicly explain it, its meaning is also obvious, and it has also given up on Lu Houchou.

However, no matter what, Li Ran didn't want Ji Le to worry too much even if there was only a sliver of hope left.Therefore, Li Ran nodded with her in the affirmative.

"Le'er, don't worry. You can rest first, I have to go and see Sun Wu."

Ji Le gave a soft "hmm", Li Ran kissed her on the forehead, and Ji Le kissed his chin back, and the two separated.

However, when Li Ran got out of the house, he didn't go to Sun Wu, but first went to Qin Yiyihe.

At this time, Yihe was refining elixir, and the whole courtyard was filled with the smell of medicine.Moreover, there are a lot of bottles and jars around him, and the earthen jars are already sizzling, obviously they have been boiled for a long time.

Yihe didn't even notice that Li Ran came in, he kept his head down and was busy, sometimes flipping through the letters beside him, Li Ran waited for a while, and then said in a low voice:

"Mr. Yihe, are you bothering me?"

Yihe came back to his senses, saw Li Ran, stopped what he was doing, stood up and saluted:

"Oh! It turns out that the young master is here, and Yihe has seen the young master!"

Li Ran hastily returned the gift.

"excuse me."

The two sat on the ground, and the doctor saw that Li Ran was frowning and knew what he was worried about, so he said:

"Since Marquis Lu went to Marquis Qian, Ma'am has been in a state of worry, and she can't even sleep in the middle of the night. Hey... Madam is so sad, it's really not good. I'm refining a kind of pill today, called Danzhi Pill. It is made from Moutan bark, gardenia, Bupleurum, white peony root, angelica, poria cocos and other herbs, combined with ginger juice. It has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving stagnation, invigorating the spleen and calming the nerves. I hope my wife can sleep peacefully. .”

At this moment, Li Ran got up again and went forward, taking a look at the piles of herbs spread out on the ground.But he was quite puzzled and asked:
"Sir, Li Ran is not talented, but he has studied some medical books when he was young. He also knows these medicinal materials, but they are all ordinary medicinal materials. They are neither nourishing and nourishing, nor are they powerful medicines for attacking. And Since the wife's disease is a chronic disease, if only these medicines are used to treat it, will it be a little insufficient?"

Yihe heard Li Ran's question, but he also stood up and bowed, and replied with a smile:
"Hehe, I heard that the young master is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he has read a lot of books. I never thought that he also has a good understanding of medical skills. You really deserve to be the empress of the old pavilion master."

After he patted Rainbow Flattery first, he then said seriously:
"Since the young master is proficient in the way of governing the country and stabilizing the country, I dare to ask the young master, if there is no way in the world and the people's livelihood is in decline, then should we promote the law that benefits the people? Or should we promote the law that punishes the government and protects the people?"

Hearing this question, Li Ran couldn't help thinking deeply for a while, then paced and said:
"Benefits to the people, although good governance, have three disadvantages. First, if the world is in decline, where does the benefit come from? If there is no benefit, how can the people be helped? Second, since the world is in decline, it must be It is the wicked who should be their way, even if they have the means to help the people, they may not be as good as the common people. Third, even if they can help the people, the common people will certainly have the will to fight, and over time, they will definitely suffer."

"Besides, this law of punishment and punishment is probably... not the right way. Although it is beneficial to the people's original intention, if it is self-defeating, it may be a disaster for the world to overthrow. As the saying goes, 'there are too many people, and there is no self-reliance. ', although this method of punishment is beneficial to the people, there must be a limit, if it is too much, I am afraid that it will still be a difficulty for Li Shu in the end."

Hearing the words, Yihe also nodded in agreement:

"Well, the young master is indeed far-sighted, and he has a clear understanding of the rise and fall of this world."

"Actually, the principle of healing the sick is the same as healing the world. If you meet a person who is physically weak or seriously ill, or if you receive too much nourishment, your body will be weak and will not be nourished by it. Instead, you will help evil spirits to kill you." .Or the fierce attack of the horse medicine, the body will not be able to bear it, and it will definitely be backlashed by it."

"People in the world practice medicine according to the way of medicine. But they don't know that the way of medicine is also the way of heaven. The principles of rise and fall, the chance of survival and death are all in accordance with the principles of heaven. How can it be reversed by the way of medicine? Today's doctors do not know the way of heaven, but Wouldn't it be a great fallacy to harm people by relying on mere medical skills to go against the sky?"

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help being enlightened, and asked sincerely again:

"Mister's medical skills are superb, and they are by no means comparable to ordinary doctors in the world. Please enlighten me, sir, what is the way to deal with chaos?"

I saw Yihe sat down alone again, and added some more firewood to the fire, and said indifferently:
"Hehe, if you look at it from the way of heaven, there is nothing else, only 'inaction'. Since the people's livelihood is dying, we can only give the people a rest, and lure them with small profits. As the saying goes, 'I do nothing, and the people transform themselves; I am quiet, and the people are upright; I have nothing to do, and the people are rich; I have no desires, and the people are simple.'”

"In my humble opinion, this is the way to save Ji Shi." (Ji Shi: Doomsday)
After hearing this, Li Ran was taken aback again.

Obviously, Yihe used this method of talking about the world to hint at the situation of Jiyue.

What surprised Li Ran was not Yihe's high-spirited talk, but Yihe's assessment of Jile's physical condition.

Obviously, if it is according to Yihe's drug administration strategy, doesn't it mean that Ji Le's disease is already in danger?

Li Ran wanted to ask again to make sure, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly felt that it was unnecessary.

Because Yihe has actually explained this truth thoroughly, if he asks it again, it will be suspected of being noisy.

Therefore, Li Ran only bowed to the doctor and made a big gift, and said gratefully:
"It's a real honor to hear Mr. Lao's high opinion today. Moreover, Mr. You Lao spared no effort to diagnose and treat my wife. I am really grateful."

The doctor smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Hehe, why should the young master be so polite, the young lady's illness is actually a bit tricky. I only hate myself for being ignorant, and I can do too little..."

"Mr.'s medical skills are the best in the world. If you find it difficult, others will be even more helpless."

"Hey... I can only do my best."

Li Ran left the doctor's office worried. In fact, he was not only worried about Ji Le's condition, it seemed that Lu Houchou's illness was also getting worse.

Especially since he returned to Yunyi, he knew that he had caused a catastrophe, and he was even more troubled for a while.

The last doctor said that Lu Houchou was actually caused by heart knots. If the heart knots are resolved, the disease will heal itself.But now that the old knot is still unresolved and new symptoms are added, the situation may be very bad.

……

Afterwards, Li Ran found Sun Wu, and Sun Wu was patrolling with Gongsun Qing in armor. When they saw Li Ran, they went back to the house together.

When Li Ran asked about the current situation, Sun Wu frowned and sighed.

"This Yanghu is quite knowledgeable about military matters. He intentionally encircles and disagrees, leaving a gap to escape, in order to let the defenders give up Yunyi! Moreover, he frequently harasses and harasses the defenders with wheel wars. The morale of the soldiers."

"Moreover, Yunyi has no foreign aid, it is just an isolated city. Not to mention the low morale of the soldiers in the city, I am afraid that sooner or later, all arrows will be wiped out. Wu this time...has no confidence in whether he can hold Yunyi safely... ..."

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help being silent for a while, then asked randomly:

"Changqing, then... In your opinion, how long can Yunyi hold on?"

Sun Tzu thought for a while in his heart:
"At most half a year, if it takes longer, it may be unsustainable!"

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help but nodded.

"There is enough time, it seems that we still need to borrow troops from abroad. Let's call Zhongni, Doctor Zijia and others to discuss together!"

So, Confucius, Zi Jiaju, Ran Geng, and others came one after another.

Sun Tzu explained the current situation and added:
"Yanghu is coming fiercely, and there may be reinforcements at any time, but we are alone and helpless. Now we must find a way to recruit reinforcements!"

Kong Qiu lowered his head in thought and heaved a long sigh.

"Your Majesty fled back then, and the first person to accept him was Marquis Qi. Maybe we still need to go to Qi State to find a way to do this!"

When Li Ran and Kong Qiu first arrived in the state of Jin, they were stopped by Fan Yang. At that time, the two of them had the idea of ​​going to the state of Qi.

It was only because of the sudden appearance of Zhao Yang and Dong Anyu later that he dissuaded himself from going to Qi for help.

But now, since the matter of Marquis Lu's return to the country has reached an impasse again, it is only natural to go to Qi for help.

But Gongsun Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally said:

"If you want the widow to intervene in this matter again, I'm afraid it's not easy. How can the widow not know about the big movement of the Ji family? If you really want to help, I'm afraid you have already sent troops here. But now Yunyi is dead Besieged for some time, but the widow is still indifferent, this trip...may be a waste of time..."

Li Ran knew that Gongsun Qing's worries were not unreasonable.

The matter of Luhou Chou's refusal to return to the country, after some operations by Ji Sunyiru, Fan Yang and others, has now confirmed Luhou's reputation of "not knowing what is good or bad".

But Ji Sun Yiru was in Lu State, covering the sky with one hand, and his power reached its peak.As a result, no doctor from the State of Lu dares to visit Yunyi again.

In other words, the Lu people have actually completely abandoned Lu Houchou.

Therefore, if Qihou intervenes in Luhou's affairs at this time, it can be said that Qiguo will gain nothing.It would be extremely difficult to persuade Marquis Qi to send troops to rescue.

However, fortunately, Yan Ying of Qi State is still alive. Although he is an octogenarian, if Yan Ying can lobby Qi Hou again, there may be a chance.

It's just that Yan Ying is old after all, and he doesn't know what his condition is (at least over 80).Moreover, even if Yan Ying could say a few words for them, there was no guarantee that Marquis Qi would listen to them.

Therefore, after some deliberation, Li Ran had another calculation.

"Brother Lao Zhongni is going to Qi State. However, just in case, there may be another choice. Jinhou's attitude is unclear at the moment, but we can still go to Jin Guo Zhao Shi come to help!"

"Zhao family? It's just... the main town of the Zhao family is far away in Jinyang, and there is also the danger of Taihang. It can be said that the journey is far away. Besides, there are the main towns of the Fan family and the Zhongxing family in the middle, so I'm afraid... it's not easy... "

Ran Geng also knew that the Fan family had been preventing Lu Hou from returning to the country, so the uncertainty of such a long-distance request for help was too great.

Li Ran nodded when he heard the words.

"As for this, how could Li Ran not know? However, besides Yuyi, Jiangyang and the main city of Jinyang which is being expanded, the Zhao family has another place, which is very close to Yunyi!"

Gongsun Qing remembered it all at once.

"What the Taishi said, could it be the Handan Zhao family?"
