After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 153

Originally, Qihou wanted to ask for an idea, but he didn't expect Yan Ying to say this to him, and he felt a little impatient, but he still kept a smile on his face and said with a smile.

"My country of Qi is based on domineering techniques. Looking at the world today, it is as strong as Jin, and the power of the public office is falling. The six ministers are fighting for power and profit. The Marquis of Jin has almost become a decoration."

"Although the Tian family has a lot of talents, the king can use them. Why? It's all about checks and balances. Now the Gao family and the Guo family are also guarding against the Tian family. Only in this way can they maintain the balance in their country and let them be the king. Used."

"Yanzi is sick now and still needs to recuperate, so don't think about these disturbing things. Today, the king is here just to visit. I hope Yanzi will cheer you up soon. This king still needs you to discuss state affairs."

Yan Ying also knew that now, Qihou couldn't listen to what he said, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

After Qihou left, Yan Ying said to his son Yan Yu.

"Right now, there are many crises within the Qi State. The Marquis of Qi thinks he has a solution, but in the future, the government of Qi State will inevitably fall into the hands of the Tian Clan. The Gao Clan and the Guo Clan are just conservatives and have no ability to make progress."

"Under the current situation, the king wants to dominate. He really didn't think that he would offend the state of Jin because of this, but you must know that Zhao Jianzi of the state of Jin is also a enterprising person, and he can respect the corporal. Under the suppression of Fan Xianzi, he will grow stronger. power."

"In the future, once Zhao Jianzi governs the Jin Kingdom, there will be no possibility for the Qi Kingdom to seek hegemony. Therefore, it is nothing more than a waste of national power for the king to contend for world hegemony. You must be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, and don't offend the Tian family, so as not to cause trouble in the future."

Although Yan Yu's intelligence was not as good as his father's, he had one advantage, that is, he was obedient, so he agreed immediately, and then served Yan Ying to lie down.

Tian's mansion.

Holding the battle report in his hand, Tian Qi read it carefully for a long time, his face showed a thoughtful look, then he raised his head and looked in the direction of Lu Guo, a little lost in thought, and he spoke after a while.

"I didn't expect that Mengzi, who is so sophisticated in using troops, didn't fight this time. He directly chose the way of cutting off food, and let Gao Zhang return without success. It seems that the old man underestimated this son. I am afraid that he will be a master of military art in the future."

Tian Chang, who was sitting next to him, didn't take his father's words seriously, because in his opinion, this battle was not a dignified frontal battle, but a conspiracy to force Gao Zhang to retreat, which was not a victory at all. .

Thinking of this, his face was full of doubts, and he asked a little incomprehensibly.

"Why did my father give such a high opinion of Mengdi? This time, like the last time, he used conspiracy and tricks to win without force. If he can defeat Gao Zhang head-on, he will be worthy of his father." Such an evaluation."

Hearing this, Tian Qi glanced at his son with some dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice.

"That's because you haven't figured it out yet. Since Meng Di can force Gao Zhang back in this way, there must be a way to defeat him, but why not do this? That's because Meng Di wants to ease relations with Qi."

"That's why Mengdi didn't attack against attack, but chose this tactful way. Gao Zhang obviously understood this, so he chose to retreat. In this way, Mengdi will accomplish his goal without fuss. .”

"Don't you think it's a terrible thing for someone as young as Meng Di to have such a scheming city and strategic vision? If we allow this situation to continue, our Tian family is very likely to It's raising tigers."

After this explanation, Tian Chang understood what his father was worried about, and his face became gloomy.

"If that's the case, we're going to attack Meng Di next?"

But Tian Qi shook his head, with a meaningful smile on his face.

"People like this, try not to offend people like this. After all, our Tian clan's influence in Qi is still suppressed by Gao clan and Guo clan, not to mention that we don't need to take action against Mengdi."

"Since the "Sima Fa" may have fallen into Meng Di's hands, then pass the news directly to Yang Hu, and let him understand that the reason why Meng Di has such a record is because of the "Sima Fa". Time is not afraid that he will not be moved."

Tian Chang had a smile on his face as soon as he heard it. In this way, their Tian family was just passing on a message. As for the result, it would be killed and buried, so he said immediately.

"Since this is the case, then I will immediately arrange someone to pass this news to Yang Hu as soon as possible."

But Tian Qi raised his hand to stop him, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"You have been a little too impetuous recently. You must know that I, Tian, ​​have been planning for so many years. When things happen, I can tolerate and flatter, instead of tit for tat. If you want to do it, you must see results."

"Now that the war against Lu State has started, Wei State and Zheng State will also send troops to Lu State. At this time, as long as Yang Hu is not stupid, he will not offend Mengdi, so this matter needs to wait. Find a good opportunity to talk."

Then he changed the subject and brought up another matter.

"The fine wine that Mengdi brewed recently is called Meng Baijiu. This wine is indeed stronger than ordinary fine wine. You'd better tell the people below to inquire carefully to see if you can get the formula of this wine."

Tian Chang had been drooling over Mengbaijiu for a long time, and when he heard his father say that, he immediately replied.

"I have sent people out to inquire a long time ago, but Mengdi is very strict with the wine shop. Our people can't penetrate it at all. We can only think of another way. I have sent people to exchange a batch of wine with horses. , a total of ten altars."

"I have already taken out a jar and handed it over to those craftsmen who are good at brewing, let them carefully figure out the brewing method of this wine, it must take a while to figure it out, and I heard that this wine was first brewed in the Zhongqiu City."

"If we march into the Lu State on a large scale this time, we can send people to take the Mid-Autumn City directly, and we will definitely find some clues from it. Once the Mongolian Baijiu is brewed by then, my Tian family will have an extra source of income."

Hearing this, Tian Qi frowned and thought for a moment, he mainly manages big things in the mansion, and Tian Chang usually handles small things, so this is the first time he heard about these things, so he immediately gave instructions.

"Prepare five jars of wine for me right away, I'm going to attack Qihou."
