After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 164
After Tian Chang arrived in the city, he ordered a group of people to look for the wine shop, while the others searched around, and found that the Zhongqiu City in front of him was indeed an empty city. He sent people to the warehouse to have a look, and the ground was cleaned up. Clean, not even dust.

This made Tian Chang have a strange smile on his face, he had already guessed that Meng Di was deliberately preserving his strength, but he did not expect that he would do it so thoroughly, so he immediately went back to report to Gao Zhang without any hesitation.

Gao Zhang's face was also uncertain when he got the news. His purpose this time was not to take down Zhongqiu City, but to seize the opportunity to give Mengdi a hard time, but it turned out like this.

In this case, he was not interested, and stayed in Zhongqiu City for a long time, and said to Ji Kuang, the monarch of Ju State beside him.

"Since the Lu army has fled, you can take over this city. In addition, my cavalry army traveled a long distance to take Zhongqiu City for you. Should Juhou provide some food?"

Returning in vain made Gao Zhang's mood extremely bad, and he was also worried that he would encounter Mengdi's cavalry unexpectedly on the way back. If the two sides were in a stalemate, sufficient food supply was a must.

Jikuang is suffering now and can't tell, even if Zhongqiu City is given to him, he will not be able to keep it in the future, but Gao Zhang has already said so, and he dare not disobey, so he can only take out food and send it to Gao Zhang. Zhang left.

After Yang Hu got the news, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Meng Di's troops stationed in Zhongqiu City didn't resist, and gave up directly, and immediately ordered to guard against death and not to fight.

He also has his own considerations. It is obvious that Sanhuan is becoming more and more dissatisfied with him now. Under such circumstances, it is natural to preserve his strength. If he loses this time, it will not be of any benefit to govern Lu.

But in this way, Ji Sunsi and Zhongsun Heji also felt that Yang Hu was obviously jealous of Mengdi, so after private discussion, Ji Sunsi offered to meet Mengdi in private.

At the same time, the State of Zheng and the State of Wei sent troops to attack the State of Lu. After getting the news, Fan Yang did not hesitate at all. He joined forces with Zhixuan and Zhao Yang to rescue the State of Lu. After the news spread, the State of Zheng did not dare to resist. withdraw troops.

Weiguo sent an envoy from the alliance to meet Fan Yang. After several days of confrontation, the Qi army found that Jin had sent troops, and did not dare to resist and immediately withdrew the troops. So Fan Yang stopped in Weiguo, preparing to solve Weiguo's rebellion against Jin. this matter.

Because Zhao Yang's fief was close to Weiguo, Fan Yang asked Zhao Yang to send envoys to form an alliance with Weiguo.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Yang sent retainers She Tuo and Cheng He to form an alliance with the Wei Ling Guild. The overall process went very smoothly, but something went wrong at the last link.

Logically speaking, it should be She Tuo and Cheng He. The two identities and positions are relatively low. Naturally, Wei Linggong was the first to draw the blood, because he is a prince after all, but She Tuo and Cheng He feel that they are from the overlord Jin State. It shouldn't be lower than Wei Linggong.

Then directly stopped Wei Linggong from drinking blood, and turned over the cup containing the cow's blood, and said that their status was not lower than that of Wei Linggong. Take a breath.

This blood drinking refers to smearing cow blood on the mouth to show honesty and trustworthiness, and not to violate the oath. Generally speaking, it depends on the status of the two parties. The more noble the people present, the higher the ranking. She Tuo and Cheng He That said, he didn't take Wei Linggong seriously.

Although the covenant was barely fulfilled, Duke Ling of Wei was completely disappointed with the state of Jin.

After Mengdi got the news, he also felt a little speechless. The state of Jin didn't know what happened recently, and it became more and more domineering.

Just as he was about to arrive in Feiyi, Ji Sunsi invited Meng Di to drink, which was a banquet at the time of parting.

This time, all the people came, including Yang Hu, but because of his status, he could only be inferior, so not long after the banquet started, Yang Hu excused himself first, and Zhongsun Heji also left later.

At this time, Ji Sunsi put down the wine glass in his hand, with a worried expression on his face, and said to Mengdi.

"Yanghu is extremely domineering now, and now Jisun's family is determined to get rid of Yanghu, I wonder if Mengzi can help me?"

He came up straight to express his heart, let Mengdi understand that Sanhuan should have made up his mind this time, not to mention the support of Jin this time, so he did not hesitate, and Dang even agreed.

"Since Heng Zi has already made a decision, then Meng X should serve him. I don't know when to do it."

Seeing that Mengdi agreed, Ji Sunsi smiled.

"Now that Lu Jun is in class, Yang Hu is still Ji Sun's retainer in name, so doing it at this time should have the best effect, and Yang Hu has no defenses. I don't know what Meng Zi wants?"

The timing was chosen well, Meng Di nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"In Mengyi, I can still take out [-] cavalry. If I cooperate with Sanhuan, there should be no problem, but it will take a few days. Hengzi had better think of a way to delay it so that Meng can get ready. "

After agreeing on this matter, Meng Di immediately returned to Feiyi, found Ji Ran and hurriedly spoke.

"Sanhuan has already decided to attack Yanghu. At this time, we have to be ready to cooperate with Sanhuan's attack. As long as Yanghu is eliminated this time, at least there will be no internal worries in Lu Kingdom for a short time."

"You immediately call back the veterans from all over the place to prepare for the battle. After five days, as long as Sanhuan is the first to attack Yanghu, there is not much time left for us, so the sooner the better."

But Ji Ran frowned and reminded with some worry.

"Now that Confucius has been appointed as Shao Sikong, and Confucius' disciples have a lot of influence in the state of Lu, there are also many promising people. If Confucius takes power in the future, I am afraid it will not be a good thing for us."

Meng Di didn't care about his worries, and said with some sarcasm on his face.

"Sanhuan can let a retainer control his power, which means that their eyesight and vision have weakened to the extreme. Under such circumstances, the reason why they fight back is to protect themselves."

"Once the situation in Lu State improves in the future, Sanhuan will definitely revert to his old ways. People who are loyal to Lu Hou like Confucius will definitely not be reused, so we don't have to worry about these things. We will just sit and watch the development of the situation at that time." Can."
