After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 176
After planning for so long, Mengdi finally saw the result, and he was very happy in his heart. Now that he has an identity, although he has not received the support of most of the northern princes, he has finally taken the first step.

On the other side of Gumi City, Liu Xiatuo was sent to assist Hanqu in guarding. At the same time, there were two brothers, Meng Wu and Meng Lu, training the infantry while guarding the place. There should be no major problems. All were summoned to Huaicheng.

The main reason is that the development of the lands of Huaiyi and Yihu requires a lot of manpower. At this time, news came from the country of Yan that Chen He had led his people to the country of Yan. However, the situation in the country of Jin was chaotic. Just stay there.

After reuniting after a long absence, everyone seemed very excited. After Jing Tie saw Meng Di, he saluted and said in a manner.

"This subordinate has seen Hanhou!"

Seeing his appearance, Meng Di just smiled, pretending to be a little displeased and said.

"Soon you will be the generals who lead an army. Why are you still like this? How can you let me hand over those soldiers to you with a smiley face? Forget it, let you hone it again, lest you go to the battlefield and give it away in vain. life."

After all, Jing Tie hadn't seen Meng Di for such a long time, and Meng Di had been in the top position for a long time, and there was already some faint coercion, which made his face change involuntarily, and he immediately opened his mouth to defend.

"My lord, please appease your anger. It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm a little happy in my heart, so I forgot to measure it for a while."

Hearing this, Mengdi felt a little lost in his heart. There was some estrangement between the brothers who used to talk about everything, which made him feel alienated, but then a smile appeared on his face.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm so nervous just as a joke? Is this the Jing Tie I knew back then?"

Hearing that it was a joke, there was a smile on Jing Tie's face, he scratched his head and said.

"The main reason is that I haven't seen you for a long time, the lord. I feel that the lord is a little different from the past. There is a murderous aura in every gesture, which makes me feel afraid to make mistakes."

In the end, it was because of the different identities. This is a process that must be accepted. Mengdi felt a little emotional in his heart, but then he calmed down and spoke encouragingly.

"Now we have a very good situation in front of us. I hope that our brothers will join hands and make persistent efforts. You have done a good job in Gumi City during this period. Now I would like to ask about your future plans."

"Do you want to go into politics or join the army? Let me know. Now I lack everyone. You are the people I trust the most. No matter what you do, I will fully support you."

Several people looked at each other, and Ganying was the first to express his opinion at this time.

"I feel that I am still suitable for governing the region. I have seen the infantry that General Liu brought over. I am really ashamed of myself, and I am not confident that I can train such a force."

After his words fell, Li Xin took a step forward and said with pride on his face.

"Short-term subordinates have some experience in cavalry tactics, and are willing to become a cavalry general under the lord's command."

Jing He and Ji looked at each other, and then said in unison.

"We are willing to obey the Lord's arrangement."

Hearing what they said, Mengdi thought for a while and then came up with an idea.

"Jing Zhi, you did a good job as an apprentice before, so you stayed in Huai City and took over the infantry training here. Before leaving, Liu Xiatuo left a special training method. You can learn about it."

Then he glanced at Ji again, and then said to him.

"Your temperament is relatively calm, so let's serve as a lieutenant general for Jing Tie. For the time being, the main problem we face is the lack of troops. If you have the ability, you should also learn how to govern the place. It is very likely that you will be released to guard in the future."

"It all depends on your own abilities in the future. Although we have a good relationship in private, we can't rely on this to make you occupy high positions. This will cause dissatisfaction among others, and it will also discourage many people of insight. "

This is also equivalent to Meng Di's warning to them, and everyone nodded.

Ji Chao, who was in the royal palace, was very satisfied with this place, not only magnificent, but also exquisite. After Lu Ban solved the problem of the iron-smelting furnace, he basically put all his thoughts on Huaicheng. build on top.

The chiefs of the several families around him had different expressions on their faces, most of them had smiles on their faces, only Nangong Hao showed a sad look on his face, he was the only one left among the veterans who followed the prince to the south up.

When he was in Gumi City, Nangong Li had to compromise. Now that he was in Huai City, and Wang Zichao had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he couldn't help but see a glimmer of hope, so he wanted to persuade Ji Chao to regain his strength at this time.

Among other things, this Huai City is quite prosperous. Although it is located in a wild place, there is an endless stream of merchants from the north and the south, and there is no shortage of anything in the city. The only thing that makes Nangong unhappy is that they There is no fiefdom.

A son of heaven has no fief, wouldn't it be ridiculous to say it?Moreover, it also made it impossible for them to obtain too many benefits from Huaicheng, so when everyone resigned, Nangong Li stayed and said to Ji Chao in private.

"Son, you have announced to the world now, which means that the authority of the Son of Heaven has been confirmed, but this Mengzi has not even given the fief to the Son of Heaven. I am afraid it is not right to do so. The Son of Heaven should send someone to see Mengzi .”

"In any case, in order to maintain the dignity of the emperor, Huai City should be placed under the control of the emperor, so that the identity of the emperor can be displayed, and there is no need to rely on others."

Ji Chao was taken aback when he heard this. He is not stupid and naturally knows that although he is now the Son of Heaven, he has no real power at all. , Wouldn't it be a pleasure to find it?
Among other things, just take a look at the current fiefdom of the Han Kingdom. After eating a part of the Lu Kingdom and occupying a part of the Ju Kingdom, the rest of the land is a barren land, and the most prosperous place is the Huaicheng area.

If this place was taken away, Meng Di would break the foundation, so how could he agree?
So Ji Chao quickly raised his hand to stop Nangong Yan from continuing, his face became very pale, and he spoke.

"Can't you still see the situation in front of you clearly? You and I are lucky to be able to save our lives. If you ask for some benefits that should not be possessed at this time, it is equivalent to sending your life to the other party. It's unwise."
