After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 123 Lu Kingdom Crisis
After Nanzi heard this, he frowned and thought for a while, then smiled.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Nowadays, many vassal states have changed their courts to seek refuge with Qi State. Under such circumstances, Wei State is caught in the middle, and it is not convenient to express their views. The current situation is best to wait a little longer and not compete with Jin State. countries to confront directly."

"Now Zheng Guo is very ambitious and wants to annex Xu State, but he doesn't follow the order of Jin State, so they are worried about the revenge of Jin people, so they get closer to Qi State. This is not of great benefit to us."

"Let Zheng Guo continue to make noises. If the general trend is established by then, His Majesty can naturally push the boat along. If the time comes when people from Jin State come to question him, His Majesty can also say that he has no choice. Depending on the situation, it is not too late to form an alliance with Jin State."

After Wei Linggong heard this, he nodded in praise again and again.

"That's a good idea. If you are a man, you will definitely be able to control the power of defending the country. This king will definitely treat you as a superior."

Nanzi laughed coquettishly when he heard the words, and said softly to Duke Wei Ling.

"If it wasn't for the king's heart, how could I have this opportunity? It's because the king knows people and makes good use of them."

Lu Guomeng Yi.

After the launch of the Field Reward Order, the local people were enthusiastic and obeyed the arrangement one after another. Because what Mengdi did during this period was obvious to all, so these ordinary people naturally did not have doubts in their hearts as before.

Meng Di was concentrating on recalling Jiu Yunfa, when Ji Ran and Yan He came together, he knew something was wrong and asked.

"You two came here together, what happened?"

After saluting, Ji Ran opened his mouth to speak.

"Le Qi, a senior officer of the Song Dynasty, was sent to the Jin Kingdom. Because of drinking with Zhao Yang, Fan Yang held a grudge when he found out, so he ordered Le Qi to be arrested directly, and now he is being detained in the Jin Kingdom."

After hearing this, Meng Di was a little confused, and his eyes were a little confused, Yan He explained when he saw this.

"The Le family has always been attached to the Fan family. This time Le Qi went to Jin with a heavy gift, but gave the gift to Zhao Yang. This clearly meant to change the family, so Fan Yang was angered and suffered such a disaster. .”

With such an explanation, Meng Di knew why Fan Yang would do this, so he could not help but sigh.

"This Le Qi is indeed very discerning. He has already seen that the Fan family will not last long in the future, so he did this. He did not hesitate to offend the Fan family and make friends with Zhao Yang. The purpose is still to plan for the future of the Song Dynasty. , is indeed a good minister.”

"Since Fan Yang has done this, it will definitely make other vassal states feel more uneasy. The country of Lu is in danger."

This is obvious. The so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse. For such a thing as directly attacking the state of Jin, unless the state of Zheng is sealed off, he would not dare to do it at all.

Now that Zheng Guo is in contact with Qi State, he also wants to push Qi State to fight against Jin State. At this time, Wei State's attitude is very important, because Wei State borders Qi State and Jin State.

If Wei Guo chooses to join Qi State at this time, then the power struggle in Jin State will be fierce, and Qi State can directly use Dao Wei State to attack Jin State, that's why Meng Di said so.

Ji Ran also let out a long sigh and said helplessly.

"If the State of Wei really decides to vote for the State of Qi, then the State of Lu must not be spared. Recently, Yang Hu has also been actively preparing for the war, which shows that he has also seen the current crisis, and the time left for us may not be much."

There was not much worry on Meng Di's face, he laughed.

"Since the matter has come to this point, we should prepare for the worst and try our best to delay the time. If the matter is really inviolable, then we will directly take down the country of Ju, although there will be some losses in this way."

"However, it can also preserve its strength to the greatest extent and prepare for the future."

Although he felt that the state of Jin would definitely send troops to help the state of Lu, the current situation was complicated, and no one could guarantee that this would happen, so he could only prepare for the worst.

At this moment, Yan He raised his head after contemplating for a moment, and spoke.

"Now that Feiyi's affairs are almost settled, I will rush to Zhongqiu right away. In this way, Liu Xiatuo can directly send troops to the Huaiyi area. If he can gain a foothold there sooner, he will be able to take precautions."

Hearing this, Meng Di nodded, and then asked.

"I've seen that Yidun. He is a man who can be made. I ordered him to go to Zhongqiu to brew wine. Mr. Yan should also pay attention to it. If this wine can really be brewed, it will definitely be sold all over the world and make a lot of money. rich."

"At that time, it will be our source of income. I really hope that Mengyi can maintain the status quo, so that I have enough time to grow my strength. It would be a pity to give up at this point."

As he spoke, he took out a bamboo slip from his pocket, handed it to Yan He, and explained.

"This bamboo slip records the Nine Ways of Brewing Wine. When you leave, Mr. Yan, take Yi Dun and the craftsman with you, and ask him to brew the wine in the shortest possible time."

During this period of time, because of buying horses, the financial gap on Mengdi's side is not small. He can only make up the money owed to Fan's as soon as possible. As for other people, he can only wait for a while. .

Although he has already ordered Gumi City to step up the smelting of bronze, but the long distance cannot quench the near thirst.

So Mengdi is also full of expectations for wine making. If he can really succeed, then at least he will no longer worry about money from now on, which is considered to have solved a big problem.

Yan He frowned when he heard the words, but he didn't say much. He deliberately opposed Mengdi's wine making, because it was a waste of food, but he also understood the situation in Mengyi during this period of time.

Knowing that Mengdi is short of money now, he is already a little stretched, so he can only swallow the words in his stomach.

Seeing that Ji Ran was about to leave, Meng Di stopped him and asked with a frown.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Ji, I have something to ask, that is, under the current situation, the businessmen on Tian's side may withdraw at any time, I wonder if Mr. Ji's side is ready? "

Hearing this, Ji Ran nodded slightly, and said with a serious expression.

"For this matter, I have already dealt with it. I bought some of the salt and other items sold by Tian's in private, in case of emergencies. There will be no major problems in a short time."
