After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 172
Under such circumstances, Confucius, who was full of disappointment, knew that he would not be reused, so he took his disciples and began to travel around the world, leaving the sad land of Lu.

In the same year, an incident happened in the state of Jin. Zhao Yang, the patriarch of the Zhao family, asked the side branch of the Zhao family in Handan to move [-] households to Jinyang. Unaware.

This angered Zhao Yang, who directly summoned Zhao Wu to Jinyang, and then executed him. However, Zhong Xingyin was angered in this way, because Zhao Wu was his nephew. rebellion.

Zhao Yang, who was in the capital, was furious when he got the news, and sent out Qin to lead an army to suppress it. However, this borrowed Qin was not a simple character, he was a retainer of Zhixuan.

Later, Zhixuan was disgusted with Zhongxingyin's insatiable greed, so the two families went further and further apart. It was at this time that Qin Qin was recruited by the Zhongxing clan, and had been monitoring Zhao Yang for the Zhongxing clan.

So after getting the order, they reported to Zhong Xingyin through Qin Mi and informed them to prepare, which caused a great chaos.

Zhong Xingyin was originally full of anger about the death of his nephew, but because of his greedy personality, he got very close to Fan Jishe. Faced with this situation, Zhong Xingyin decided to take a risk.

So they united with the new head of the Fan family, Fan Jishe, Fan Yang's son, and the three families joined forces with the Zhao family in Handan to conspire against each other, and planned to take down the Zhao family in one fell swoop, so that they could get more benefits.

After getting the news, Zhao Yang was shocked and turned pale, and hurriedly fled back to Jinyang from the capital of Jin State.

At this time, Meng Di had no restraint from Yang Hu, so he had no scruples, and immediately began to expand his troops in large numbers, preparing to launch an attack on Ju State.

What Mengdi wanted was that the territory connected to the river bank and the large population were not in great demand. The most important thing was to set up a line of defense to ensure the safety of Huai City.

Now that Huaicheng's business is getting more and more prosperous, in order to expand the amount of goods that come and go, the port has already started to be built, so it must be done at this time.

After receiving Tian's reply, Mengdi reached a private agreement with Tian at the cost of the wine brewing method of Jiuyun Method, and then led troops to attack Ju State, in the name of crusade against Yanghu.

Ji Kuang, the monarch of Ju State, turned pale with fright, but Yang Hu swears that he has a way to repel Mengdi. In addition to this period of time, the officials of Ju State are also on Yang Hu's side, so Ji Kuang decides to Yang Hu will fight against Meng Di as the main general.

At the same time, he asked Qi for help, but what Ji Kuang didn't expect was that after Yang Hu met Meng Di, he didn't fight at all, but ordered the whole army to surrender. , what resistance?
In desperation, Ji Kuang fled to Qi State, and Ju State surrendered to Meng Di.

At this time, the news had not yet reached Qi State, and no one was willing to go to the rescue of Ju State, because Meng Di's reputation is too famous. At this time, Tian Chang asked Gao Zhang for orders, and after getting permission, he led the troops. Starting from Linzi, but the marching speed is not fast.

After Tian Chang rushed to Ju State, Meng Di had already moved most of the local population to the rear, and even gave up the city of Nanju. Now he opened up the territory of Qi State without any effort.

So the two sides settled down in a very tacit understanding. It was a confrontation in name, but it was actually acting.

With so many people supplemented, Mengdi directly infiltrated towards the land of Huaiyi, a large amount of farmland was opened up, and many small cities were built along the way, mainly for early warning purposes.

Then Yang Hu set off for Yihu according to Mengdi's request. The number of troops in his hands did not decrease, and he also sent Boren to lead [-] cavalry to accompany him, and cooperated with Bai Gui. Disobedient small nation.

Now Mengdi's power and territory have almost doubled, which greatly shocked the whole country of Lu. Ji Sunsi even sent people to send a lot of gifts, which obviously meant to appease, and Mengdi followed the order All of them were accepted, and Ji Sunsi was given a pair of armor and a sword.

Ji Sunsi, who was in Qufu, was silent after receiving the gift. He ordered someone to chop the armor with a bronze sword, and broke a few swords, leaving only some shallow marks, which shocked his heart.

What worries him even more is that Lu Hou's health is getting worse and worse, and he can't bear it now, and Ji Sunsi's current physical condition is not good, and he has no ambition. People can check and balance Mengdi.

Now that Mengdi sent such a thing, it was obviously a warning, which made Ji Sunsi worry. After thinking about it, he wrote a letter and sent it to Mengdi.

The general content is that the state of Jin is now in chaos, and the state of Lu has lost its support. At this time, a strong person is needed to guard the state of Lu, so I want Mengdi to come to Qufu to serve as the great Sima.

It's not that Ji Sunsi really wants to do this, but a kind of temptation. If Mengdi really came to Qufu, it means that he is very interested in Lu's ruling, so that everyone can sit down and talk.

At the very least, Ji Sun's safety must be guaranteed. If he doesn't come, at least he can understand his plan, so that Ji Sunsi can feel at ease, and he is very dissatisfied with his eldest son Ji Sunfei.

I am worried that after he inherits the position of the Jisun family leader in the future, the Jisun family will decline, so at this time, we must make perfect arrangements. No matter what, Mengdi cannot be hostile to the Jisun family. In this case I'm afraid Ji Sun's family is over.

Meng Di, who got Ji Sunsi's letterhead, laughed after reading it, and said to Ji Ran.

"Ji Hengzi wants me to go to Qufu to serve as the Grand Sima of the State of Lu. It seems that he is already a little uneasy, but I really don't have such thoughts. Is there any way for you to dispel his worries?"

After hearing this, Ji Ran chuckled and said.

"The status of the doctor of the state of Lu will hinder the future development of the lord. The best way is to wait until the prince's dynasty, and after arriving in Huaicheng, in the name of the emperor, give the lord a title. In this way, the lord can use the prince's Identity is competing for world hegemony."

"If you want to dispel Ji Hengzi's suspicion, my lord can reply to him directly, saying that you are determined to stand on your own in Ju, and ask Ji Sun to send some money and food."
