After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 149 An endless stream
Although the current situation is complicated, most of the nobles are still content with having fun.

In particular, the fine wine that Meng Dijin presented to the various vassal states made all the nobles salivate for a while, so that the reputation became more and more mysterious. Some people even said that one sip can increase life, and two sips can make people feel ecstatic. fairy.

With more and more rumors like this, there is also an endless stream of businessmen going to Mengyi, which suddenly dilutes the war atmosphere in the Lu Kingdom, and on the contrary, it benefits the nobles of the Lu Kingdom a lot.

Naturally, Yang Hu also got the fine wine, although he still wanted to ask for more, but he couldn't keep his face, so Ji Mei volunteered at this time and suggested to him.

"Yangzi, now we have a lot of extra horses in our hands, and there are also surplus horses in the racecourse. I can take these horses to Mengyi, and then promise some benefits and ask him to hand over the wine party. In this way, Yangzi Isn't it an extra source of wealth?"

This suggestion moved Yang Hu very much, but after thinking about it for a while, he still shook his head.

"It's not yet the time. This time we attack Zheng State, it is very likely that Qi State will be dissatisfied, so we will have to rely on Meng Di to guard the border of Lu State. It is better not to offend him for the time being."

In fact, Yang Hu already had some fears about Mengdi in his heart. If it was a fluke to fight against the Qi army, Mengdi still won easily when he fought against Ju, which shows that he is very good at using the cavalry. sophistication.

There were quite a few people who were born like this in the Spring and Autumn Period, not to mention Tian Rangju of Qi State, who is a living example, especially the intention of Sanhuan of Lu State to resist him is becoming more and more obvious.

At such a time, Mengdi should be wooed mainly, and the foolish thing of self-destructing his future for some petty gains is something that ignorant people will do, and he, Yang Hu, is not that stupid.

As for the future when Sanhuan is completely controlled, Yang Hu can use this method to test Meng Di's mind.

At this moment, a servant came in hurriedly and said.

"My lord, I just got the news that the state of Zheng attacked the royal family of Zhou, and the state of Jin called on the vassal states of the world to attack together."

In fact, the relationship between Zheng Guo and the Zhou royal family is quite bad now, and the reason is very simple. After King Zhou You made war with the princes many times, the respect of the princes from various princes to the emperor disappeared.

As a royal family, Marquis Shen colluded with Quan Rong to attack Haojing, resulting in the death of King Zhou You.

Logically speaking, for such a great contribution, he should be rewarded as he should be. In the end, I don’t know what King Zhou Ping thought about it, so he gave Qin a reward as a duke, and directly became a princely country from a remote tribe. .

You must know that Zheng Guo was just an earl at this time, and it was completely unacceptable for Zheng Guo to favor one another than another. Since then, Zheng Guo has confronted the Zhou royal family, and there will be some disturbances from time to time.

Now that Zheng Guo has just annexed Xu Guo, and it is the time when he is full of ambitions, he naturally wants to beat the Zhou royal family again.

Hearing this news, Yang Hu became excited. No matter what, he was famous as a teacher. The State of Lu has always regarded itself as orthodox and always defended the interests of the Zhou royal family. How could he bear this situation?

Immediately, Yang Hu went to visit Marquis Lu, and directly announced to the world that Lu State sent troops to attack Zheng.

At this time, Meng Di who was in Mengyi was really elated. Yi Dun's idea was really good. In a short period of time, seven or eight merchants came to exchange horses for wine, and the number of horses they brought A lot, but it can be regarded as seeing hope.

So Mengdi immediately set up a wine shop in Feiyi. Because of the short time, he used the existing house to make some renovations, and all soldiers were stationed around to prevent anyone from spying.

Even so, the drinks still couldn't keep up with the supply. Seeing the situation, Ji Ran gave a suggestion.

That is to accept these people's horses first, and price them according to their quality. Ji Ran's consideration is more comprehensive than Yi Dun's. He knows very well in his heart that if these businessmen are to be completely offended, then for Meng Yi It's not a good thing to say.

So seeing more and more merchants coming, Ji Ran just tripled the price of drinks and then stabilized. This also made those merchants feel at ease. liquor.

By the way, it also made Fei Yi present an extremely prosperous scene. Yi Dun pretended to be a merchant who also came to buy wine, and took advantage of this period of time to get along with merchants from all over the place, and then sold the wine in his hand at a high price.

In a short period of time, Mengdi got nearly [-] good horses, which doubled his confidence, but at this moment, he got the news that Lu Guo defeated Zheng, and he felt a bad feeling in his heart. premonition.

Among other things, there is no border between Lu State and Zheng State. If you want to attack Zheng State, you have to go through Cao State or Wei State. It will take a lot of time to go back and forth.

Although the reason Yang Hu sought this time was because Zheng Guo attacked the Zhou royal family, but there are so many vassal states in the world, even Jin Guo has not made any movement at this time, and Lu Guo sent troops first.

Under such circumstances, Meng Di wanted to find Yang Hu directly and ask, don't you know the current situation of Lu State?This time, it would be fine if Lu Guo could make Zheng Guo suffer a big loss, otherwise, just wait for Zheng Guo's revenge.

But this time, Meng Di was not included in the recruitment, so although he felt a little helpless, he did not advise Yang Hu, but concentrated on training soldiers. Under such circumstances, he did not care about that too much.

In any case, it was his goal to protect Mengyi from too many losses. At this time, Tian's goods were also transported by sea, and at the same time, there were some things sent by Bai Gui from Huaicheng.

Moreover, Liu Xiatuo personally escorted him, and when Mengdi saw him back, he felt something strange.

"Why did you come here in person this time? How is the situation in Huaicheng?"

Liu Xiatuo didn't open his mouth to answer, but was very mysterious, untied the saber from his waist and handed it over.

Meng Di reached out to take it, pulled it out and looked surprised, because it was an iron sword, and the style of making it was obviously different from the one made by general Mo Xie, and he was overjoyed immediately color.

"Who made this sword?"
