After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 179 Bargaining
Meng Di didn't care about this situation, but he didn't let it go, and said after thinking for a while.

"Since Nangong Lian has so many opinions in private, don't let him stay in Huai City, send someone to send him back to Gumi City, but find a suitable reason so that he can't tell the pain. "

After hearing the order, Bai Gui thought for a while, then he had an idea and said.

"People from the four families are still staying in Gumi City, so Yidun can find a way to make some noise among the Nangong family, so that there is a reason for Nangong Lu to return to Gumi City."

Now Meng Di is not thinking about these small things, but he is more worried about the things between Wu and Yue. Helu is dead now. After Fucha ascends the throne, he must find a way to take revenge on Yue. .

Then, next, it is inevitable that Mengdi will have friction with Wu. The reason is very simple. If you want to dominate the world, you need to show your strength, and Mengdi's Han State is too great a threat to Wu.

How could a person like Wu Zixu fail to see danger?He would definitely encourage Fu Chai to launch an attack on Tancheng, at least to hold the strategic initiative in the hands of Wu Guo, thinking of this, Meng Di asked.

"When will Mr. Yan arrive in Huai City?"

The topic jumped a little too fast, Bai Gui reacted a little, and then said.

"For a month or two at most, what is my lord worried about?"

For Bai Gui, Meng Di naturally would not hide anything, he frowned, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"What I am worried about is that Wu will launch a war against Yue at this time. When I lead troops to Jin, I may not be able to take care of the rear. I am afraid that something will happen at that time. In this way, the relationship between us and Wu I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep peace."

And Bai Gui had already been mentally prepared for this, with a smile on his face, he said confidently.

"I heard that there is a favored person next to my king Fucha, named Bo Pi. This person knows Fucha's thoughts very well, and he can gain Fucha's trust better than Wu Zixu. We are not suitable at this time, and have a direct conflict with Wu. .”

"Besides, Bo Pi is very greedy for money. We can give him a large sum of money and let him persuade Fu Chai to form an alliance with us and let them attack Chen Guo directly. In this way, Wu Guo can help us share the burden, the northern princes country pressure."

"The most important thing is the state of Chu. It is necessary to turn Fucha's goal away. Moreover, the state of Wu has been very ambitious over the years, annexing the small countries around him one by one. Now that they have recognized the emperor of Huaicheng."

"Then we can make an agreement with them in the future. Our main goal is to deal with Qi, and they will take down Chu first. When the time comes, we will join forces to deal with Jin. This strategy will also benefit them."

For this idea, Meng Di agreed very much, but he also had some concerns in his heart, so he said.

"But Wu Zixu of the Wu Kingdom is not an ordinary person. He must be able to see our plan. If this happens, it will not be a good thing for us, and it may arouse Wu Zixu's resentment."

But Bai Gui had a different opinion, he still had a smile on his face, but what he said surprised Meng Di.

"People often arouse their fighting spirit in adversity, and they can do what others can't. Fucha is now striving to avenge his father. Under such circumstances, he can follow Wu Zixu's advice because he needs someone to help him. .”

"But once things are done, most people will become arrogant because they have lost their goals. They think that the victories they have achieved are all due to their own abilities, and they often become arrogant."

"If Fu Chai is a promising person, then there will be no people like Bo Pi around him, so in my opinion, after Fu Chai defeated the Yue Kingdom, he must not tolerate Wu Zixu telling him what to do."

"Under such circumstances, the conflict between the monarch and his ministers will be fully exposed. Mr. Yan is a man of great talent. My lord can send him to the state of Wu to pay close attention to the movements of the state of Wu and at the same time establish a good relationship with Bo Pi. .”

"However, Mr. Yan may not be able to do such a thing. It is best to let Yidun from Gumi City go together. This person is quite good at management and has a good face. He will definitely be able to establish a good relationship with Bopi to prepare for the future."

The reason why Mengdi was surprised was because Bai Gui's words showed that he had a certain degree of control over people's hearts, and it also made him secretly vigilant. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said.

"Going up against the current is the way of the king. If one day I forget my ambition because of my greed for enjoyment, Mr. Bai must point it out in time. Only in this way can I keep vigilant at all times and prevent myself from falling down."

For these words, Bai Gui showed excitement on his face, he stood up and saluted Meng Di.

"Seeing other people make mistakes, I immediately think of myself. This is the requirement of a promising person to be a human being. I am very pleased to hear the Lord say this today. From this, we can see that the future of our Han country It must be great!"

Two days later, Meng Di met Tian Chang again, and this time he spoke directly.

"The emperor thinks that the agreement with the Qi State is feasible, but now that the Han State is short of food, I intend to bring a large army to help Qi Hou attack the Jin State, but because of the lack of food, it cannot be carried out."

After hearing this, Tian Chang's eyes rolled. If Qi State went to attack Jin State this time, and Meng Di didn't move out the soldiers and horses in his hands at this time, then the security of Qi State might be threatened.

The so-called two evils are the lesser of two evils. Since Mengdina used grain as an excuse, Tian Chang couldn't let him do what he wanted, so he said.

"Our country of Qi is very rich, and we have a surplus of food. If the Marquis of Han is willing to send troops, our country of Qi is willing to send food, but we don't know how many troops can be dispatched by the Marquis of Han?"

What Meng Di was waiting for was his words, but there was some hesitation on his face. After a moment of contemplation, he said this.

"Since the state of Qi is so sincere, this king is going to dispatch 10 horses, especially the cavalry, but I don't know if the state of Qi can afford the food consumption of so many people, and there is not enough food in the state of Han. Qi has enough food."

As soon as Tian Chang heard that there were ten thousand troops, Tian Chang's expression changed. Just kidding, this is the consumption of a thousand chariots. From his understanding, the Han Kingdom did not have so many troops.
