After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 106 The Aspirations of the Marquis of Qi
At this time, Qi Hou looked a little complacent, and said to Gao Zhang and Guo Xia with a smile.

"This country of Zheng is so close to the country of Jin, but now it comes to show its kindness to my country of Qi. What does this mean? This shows that the country of Jin has lost its support, and it is time for our country to rise, so at this time it is our best time to dominate time."

But Gao Zhang was not so optimistic, he lowered his head in thought for a while, and frowned.

"Your Majesty, it is true that the state of Jin is now weakened, but their strength has not changed substantially. The best way is to wait for a while to talk about it. Fan Yang is greedy and condescending, and Zhao Yang is determined to forge ahead. "

"And the others are mediocre people. Under such circumstances, once Fan Yang dies, according to the rules, it is wise to take over the power of the Jin State. At this time, there must be a birth in the Jin State. At that time, won't we just sit back and enjoy the benefits? ?”

"The reason why it is good for Zheng Guo to send people to Qi Guo this time is because Zheng Guo has been eyeing Xu Guo and wants to make plans. Now that Jin has weakened, he wants to find allies and take the opportunity to annex Xu country."

After his words fell, Guoxia also nodded, agreeing with this point of view.

"The previous governor of Zheng State, uncle, was inclined towards Jin State, but Zheng Guoxin, who is now in office, is a newcomer. This person doesn't like Jin State, and he wants to strengthen Zheng State. Planning how to use troops against Xu Guo."

Hearing what they said, Marquis Qi also frowned. All he wanted in his heart was to make Qi dominate the world, replace Jin as the overlord, and become the overlord again.

However, what Gao Zhang and Guo Xia said is also very reasonable. Although it has been seen that the prestige has declined rapidly after the Zhaoling meeting, the interior of Jin State has generally remained stable, and Zhao Yang is determined to reform within the territory, and now he is even stronger. .

If a full-scale conflict with the Jin country breaks out at this time, it is not in the interests of the Qi country. More importantly, it is the Lu country under Qi's nose. This is a firm pro-Jin faction. If they are not dealt with.

Once there is friction between Qi and Jin in the future, there will be a possibility of fire in the backyard, so Qi Hou sighed, although he felt helpless in his heart, he could only accept the reality, and said in a somewhat dejected manner.

"No way, no way, you guys have an idea for this king, how can Qi become the new overlord?"

At this time, Gao Zhang suddenly had an idea in his mind, so he said it immediately.

"Since Zheng Guo has the idea of ​​using troops against Xu Guo, then we can deal with them verbally. Whether we can help them at that time is another matter. The reason is very simple. Zheng Guo and Qi Guo do not border each other."

"At that time, if you want to help, you will have to go one way, from Weiguo directly to Zhengguo. In this way, Weiguo must be settled first, otherwise, it will be impossible to assist Zhengguo."

"So let the people of Zheng Guo solve the problem themselves. If they can win over Cao Guo, Song Guo, Wei Guo, and even Lu Guo to collectively oppose Jin, then Qi's hegemony can be achieved."

Qi Hou immediately became excited when he heard this. If this happens, all the neighboring countries around Jin will become enemies in a blink of an eye. Moreover, there have been news recently that the people of Qin are continuously attacking Jin. country launched an attack.

At this time, Guo Xia spoke with some worry.

"I heard that some time ago, Meng Di, a doctor of the State of Lu, went to the State of Jin to visit the Six Ministers. It seems that he wanted to consolidate the alliance between the State of Jin and the State of Lu, so I think we have to guard against the State of Lu at this time."

"Besides, Jin is also experiencing internal and external troubles. During this period of time, if Zheng, Cao, Wei, and Song can form an alliance at this time, then we can directly attack Lu."

Marquis Qi was even more satisfied with this suggestion, because with the existence of the Taiyi Mountains, Qi had only one way to attack Lu, and that was Yunyi, so Qi and Lu had been at war for so many years.

However, it is extremely difficult for Qi State to expand its achievements. If it can take advantage of this opportunity to directly take down Lu State, then Qi State can not only expand its territory again, but also get rid of its inner troubles, and even succeed in dominating it in one fell swoop.

But then Qi Hou immediately hesitated again, he hesitated, and asked the two of them.

"How sure are you about this matter? When the Qi State sent troops before, Meng Di, the doctor of the State of Lu, defeated our Qi army's hundreds of times of strength with 3000 people. If there is a war, I am afraid the chances of winning are not great, right?"

After hearing this, Gao Zhang laughed and said with a confident look on his face.

"Now it is Yang Hu who holds the real power in Lu State. Now the contradiction between Yang Hu and San Huan is getting more and more serious, and internal fighting may break out at any time. If we can form an alliance before their civil strife breaks out, then we will There is a chance to win the country of Lu."

"As for that Meng Di, now he has only a few thousand troops and doesn't even have a chariot. The reason why he was able to win a big victory last time was just a trick. If our Qi army invades aggressively, he will definitely be difficult to resist."

Guo Xia on the side frowned slightly after hearing this, he felt that Gao Zhang's words were a little too confident, but because of the relationship between the Guo family and the Gao family, he did not question it in front of Marquis Qi.

After the two left the palace together, Guoxia reminded him.

"Mengdi from Nalu Kingdom is probably not an ordinary person. I heard that he bought a lot of horses when he went to Jin Kingdom this time. Moreover, his men and horses are well commanded and can advance and retreat freely. He is obviously a person who is proficient in military affairs. He should be regarded as a hero. Be careful."

Gao Zhang didn't care about it, and after a soft snort, he said in a deep voice.

"After Pan Yi came back, I asked him how he fought this time, and only then did I know that he had fallen for someone's trick to lure the enemy, so he was defeated in one fell swoop. This is really a timeless hero, which made Zhu Zi famous."

"When our Qi army attacks Lu again in the future, Ben Xiangguo will personally lead the army to conquer. At that time, I will see if Mengdi is really capable and defeat our Qi army again."

"Besides, in front of your majesty just now, you also said that this time we will unite and attack the Lu country together with other countries. In this way, our chances of winning will be greater, so there is no need to worry about anything at all."

After hearing this, Guoxia was still a little worried, but she didn't speak any more.
