After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 132
The mansion of Gao's family in Qi State.

In the back garden, there is a breeze, and there is the sound of birdsong from time to time. Take a deep breath, and you can smell the faint fragrance of flowers. In the garden pavilion, Gao Zhang and Guo Xia are sitting opposite each other. Enjoying the scenery and having a drink.

Gao Zhang took a sip of the wine, and there was no relaxation on his face, but there was some resentment between his brows.

"This Mengdi actually went to our country of Qi at this time, and even set his mind on the country of Ju. Could it be that he couldn't see the situation in front of him clearly? It's really ridiculous."

Guo Xia shook his head lightly, with a puzzled look on his face, he stroked the wine glass lightly and said.

"I don't think this matter is that simple. I heard that Mengdi sent generous gifts to the six high officials when he was sent to the Jin Kingdom, and received unanimous praise. This shows that this person is not an unwise person. "

"Now Zheng Guo and Qi Guo already have the intention of forming an alliance, Wei Guo is vacillating, but it can also be seen that there has been some intention, this is also thanks to Jin Guo, Lu Guo should feel the danger , that’s why Meng Di was sent as an envoy.”

After Gao Zhang heard this, he slowly put down his wine glass, with a look of disdain on his face.

"As long as Wei Guo can agree, then with the power of Zheng Guo, Wei Guo, and Qi Guo, no matter how powerful Yang Hu is, he can't protect the integrity of Lu State. To make Qi come to achieve his goal is truly fantastic."

Unlike Gao Zhang who is full of confidence, Guo Xia has a worried look on his face.

"You can't say that. The last time Mengdi was able to defeat our army with only a few thousand people, and in Ju State, he mobilized more than [-] people and defeated Ju State in one battle. His combat power cannot be underestimated." .”

"So what I mean is, we might as well stabilize Mengdi first. If there is a war in the future, we can still catch him by surprise. The biggest problem now is the Marquis of Qi. He wants to let Qi dominate. I'm afraid he won't accept this advice. .”

What he said was old-fashioned words to seek the country. Although Gao Zhang knew it in his heart, he didn't want to admit it. You must know that the attack on Lu State last time was the result of his all-out efforts, but he returned in a complete defeat. Damaged prestige.

Although Qi Hou didn't say anything, his attitude has changed a bit. This is not a good thing for Gao Zhang. Now that he heard Guo Xia say this, he immediately retorted.

"I don't believe how capable a small doctor of the State of Lu is. If it wasn't for Pan Yi who underestimated the enemy and rushed forward last time, how could he have been defeated? Moreover, the State of Ju is now weakened, and the army is weak. Failure is justified. .”

"Now that Jin is weak, it is a good time for Qi to rise. If Lu is sensible, he should send someone to form an alliance with Qi, instead of just making excuses and trying to fool the past."

When Guoxia heard this, he knew that Gao Zhang was a little upset, sighed secretly, and didn't say any more, but frowned deeply, with a bad feeling lingering in his heart.

After returning to the mansion, Guoxia immediately called his son Guoyuan over, and asked directly.

"How long will Mengdi arrive in Linzi?"

"According to the information I got, there will be about two or three days. Why did father ask about this?"

Hearing his son's question, Guo Xia sighed and said helplessly.

"Now that Gao Xiangguo wants to avenge his shame, I'm afraid Mengdi will return without success this time. What I worry about for my father is that if this happens, it is very likely that our country Qi will suffer a lot of losses."

After he finished speaking, Kunihara immediately reacted and nodded slightly.

"This Mengdi led the army to fight unlike others. The last time he fought against Ju, Mengdi divided the cavalry into three divisions. He fought against Ju's army. The head and tail could not look at each other. This shows that this man has a lot of experience in fighting."

"If Qi and Lu fight against Lu at this time, if there is no gain for a long time, it will damage the prestige of Qi, and Qihou will definitely be dissatisfied."

These words made Guo Xia feel a little helpless. How could Gao Zhang not understand the truth that his own son understood?It's just that Gao Zhang's reputation was damaged because of the defeat of Qi's army last time, and he wanted to get back his face.

Faced with this situation, Guoxia was also a little worried, and after thinking about it for a while, he gave orders.

"You have a good personal relationship with Na Mengdi. You can wait until he arrives in Linzi, go to meet him and listen to what he has to say. If he has any needs, you can let me know in advance, so you can prepare early."

Hearing this, Guoyuan nodded, but Guoxia was still worried. If Qi wants to dominate the world, it cannot lose too many troops in Lu. The best way is to unite with other vassal states to attack Jin together.

As long as the state of Jin is conquered, the hegemony of the state of Qi will be transformed. At this time, it is naturally the best to win over the state of Lu. Even if they are forced to go to war, they should choose to make the state of Lu submit.

But looking at the current situation, Gao Zhang has no such plan, and Guo Xia can only make a backup plan.

three days later.

Meng Di finally arrived not far from Linzi City, and the reason why he stopped was because Tian Chang came to see him in secret.

After the meeting, both parties sat down, Tian Chang said with a smile.

"Since the last time we met, Tian and Mengzi haven't seen each other for a long time. I heard that Mengyi has developed very well recently, and the population has doubled one after another. Moreover, Zhongqiu in Ju State was also given by Mengzi. It’s a joy to win.”

Although he said so, Meng Di didn't think that Tian Chang came here just to congratulate him, so he smiled slightly.

"Mr. Tian is absurd. If it weren't for the help of Tian's, how could Mengyi have achieved what it is today? I just don't know that this time, Mr. Tian came to see him in secret. Please tell me what is the matter."

Hearing this, Tian Chang stroked his beard and glanced at the guards around him. Mengdi immediately understood what he meant. There should be something very important to discuss, so he waved his hand and said: .

"All of you go down, you will not enter without your life."

Tian Chang didn't speak until all the guards were withdrawn.

"Now my Tian family and Mengzi are both prosperous and both are prosperous. Under the current situation, you and I should work together to tide over the difficulties. This time, I came here mainly for one thing. I also ask Mengzi to agree to come down." .”

After finishing speaking, he fixed his eyes on Meng Di closely, wanting to see his reaction.

At this time, Meng Di had a bad premonition in his heart, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

"Young Master Tian, ​​you are being polite. If you have something to do, please tell me."
