After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 116 Planning for the Future
After the banquet, Meng Di gave Ji Mei a lot of gold and silver belongings, a smile appeared on his face, and he also took a fancy to two singers, Meng Di simply turned back and gave away all the singers. gave him.

Anyway, these people also came to Fei Yi to make a living. Ji Ran felt that guests would come here often, so he bought these singers and gave them away as gifts. He didn't feel sorry for them, mainly because of the current world.

Ji Mei got money and a beauty, and her opinion of Meng Di changed a lot, and she reminded him when drinking in private.

"Mengzi, you need to prepare early. Now Yangzi has decided to attack Sanhuan. A while ago, Zheng Guo and Cao Guo actually sent envoys to Qi, so I came up with an idea."

"We can take advantage of this time to attack Cao Guo. It is best for Mengzi to send troops and get a lot of benefits at that time, and Yangzi has decided to use this opportunity to weaken Sanhuan's strength. "

However, Meng Di was not optimistic about the use of troops against Cao Guo this time. When he went to Jianguo last time, he had already heard the rumors that now Fan Yang, the general of the Jin Kingdom, was not in good health.

When a person gets old, especially if he is sick, he will become suspicious and fickle. At this time, he must not worry about other people in the country, so he will definitely suppress them with all his strength to protect Fan's interests.

Under such circumstances, if the Jin State does not act, it is very likely that the Lu State alone will incur retaliation in the end. It is ridiculous that Yang Hu wants to take the opportunity to get rid of Sanhuan at this time. Can't see the situation clearly.

But Meng Di didn't open his mouth to remind, but followed Ji Mei's words.

"Although Meng wants to lead troops to help out, but Mr. Ji has also seen that too many wounded soldiers have already damaged morale. If he can't replenish in time this time and rush to the battle, if Qi comes to attack in the future, then Meng will have no soldiers. Available."

Ji Mei's face revealed a look of disappointment, but after accepting other people's things, it is natural to think about them.

"Since this is the case, then Mengzi, you can calm down and organize the army. After Ji returns, he will report the truth and dispel Yangzi's worries. In addition, I remind you not to get too close to Ji Sunshi. Yangzi doesn't like it. "

Meng Di nodded again and again and kept thanking him. After two days of dealing with it, he sent Ji Mei away.

In fact, he now has nearly [-] cavalry in his hands. If it weren't for the lack of equipment and the delicate situation now, Mengdi would be able to take down the country of Ju now.

This opportunity is really rare. Wu Yue's struggle for hegemony may have been a matter of the past two years. At this time, he won the country of Ju, which can be used as the basis for his life.

While looking at the map, Meng Di was thinking about how he would develop in the next step. At this time, Ji Ran pushed the door in. When he heard the movement, he raised his head and asked with a smile.

"Mr. Ji, is something wrong?"

But Ji Ran shook his head, with a worried look on his face.

"I just got the news that Zheng Guo has already sent troops to attack Xu Guo. Judging from the current situation, there may be an agreement between Zheng Guo and Qi Guo. At this time, the Lord should make plans early."

This news gave Meng Di a headache, this Zheng Guo didn't know what he was thinking, so he couldn't wait?Although the state of Jin is in decline, its strength is still there, and the state of Zheng borders on the state of Jin.

Such a blatant attack on Xu State is clearly not taking Jin State seriously, and he is really full. Looking at the current situation, Zheng State should have done a good job, so he will be confident, so he thought for a while said afterwards.

"Now it's because Qi is here, otherwise, it would be a pity to win Ju in one round this time."

But Ji Ran smiled, walked to the side of the map, stretched out his hand to press a large area under the country of Ju, with an excited look on his face, with a meaningful look on his face.

"In my opinion, my lord will not participate in the melee in the Central Plains for the time being, but will go all the way south. This time, Ju country has been frightened by us. They dare not stop our actions at all. Now Yang Hu is more wary of us."

"If we wantonly expand the army at this time, it will definitely cause unnecessary troubles, so I have an idea, that is to let Liu Xiatuo guard Zhongqiu and be responsible for training troops."

"At that time, in the name of fighting thieves, we can attack here, slowly gain the local territory, control those tribal leaders, and let them become the main people of the territory to attack."

Meng Di glanced at it. These are two large tribes sandwiched between Wu State and Chu State. One is Huaiyi and the other is Yihu. Huaiyi borders Ju State. With his current strength, he can take Getting down these places is a breeze.

However, it might not be easy to keep these places, which made him hesitate for a while.

"It's not difficult to defeat Huai Yi, but we don't have that many troops stationed there. Although Chu State has declined now, we may not sit back and watch us take down Yihu. We may have to fight Chu State head-on."

After hearing this, Ji Ran shook his head and said with a smile.

"Why do we occupy these places? With our current strength, it is not easy to take over such a large piece of land. The production of these tribes is extremely backward, and many remote places still live a life of bare hair and blood."

"We just need to divide and woo those tribes, and then let them admit that the main attack is their co-lord, so that the goal is achieved, and then we can send officials to teach them how to farm and manufacture."

"Although Huaiyi and Yihu are both tribes, if anyone can give them a better life, most of them must know how to choose. At that time, we can further send more officials."

But at this moment, Meng Di thought of a very important question.

"Does Mr. Ji have any further ideas on how to govern this land?"

After all, he came from the Han Dynasty, so he was naturally more concerned about the system of prefectures and counties. When he was sweating, he adopted the enfeoffment system, which led to the growing power of the vassal kings in various places, so that there were rebellions from time to time.

So Mengdi didn't want to divide the enfeoffment, so as not to cause more trouble to his successor in the future, especially during this period of time, seeing that Yang Hu treated his lord, Ji Sunsi was dismissive, and he was even more unwilling to adopt the enfeoffment system up.

Regarding this question, Ji Ran didn't answer immediately, his face showed a contemplative look, after a long silence, he raised his head, looked at Meng Di with piercing eyes, and then asked a question.

"Before answering, think about it, what is the ambition of the lord?"
