After Spring and Autumn

Private alliance
Bai Gui also nodded at this time, agreeing with Mengdi's statement very much, he said with a smile.

"The so-called prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Yang Hu can gain greater benefits by following the lord. Why did he choose to rebel? It's just because he met the mediocre lord."

After all, Yan He was a little bitter about Yang Hu, but he didn't say much, rested in Huai City for a few days, discussed with Meng Di how to stir up the affairs of Wu and Chu, and then he couldn't wait to set off.

Meng Di also set off to return to Feiyi at this time. Since the news of the founding of the Han Dynasty came, the people in Mengyi had stabilized quickly after a short period of uneasiness. Their lives have not changed at all since then.

The common people didn't feel much about who became their lord. The nobles were the ones who were most shaken. The state of Lu had already declined, and now there was a new state of Han inexplicably.

What's more, Mengdi, who is still the target of the record, made the doctors in the Lu State terrified, worrying that the Lu State would become the next target.

But Meng Di didn't want to attack Lu State at this time, because Lu State's relationship with Wei State and Zheng State was very tense after a series of operations, which could just help Meng Di share some firepower.

The first thing Mengdi did when he arrived in Feiyi was to invite Ji Sunsi to come to Feiyi for a meeting. This kind of attitude seemed a bit domineering, but Mengdi didn't have so much time to take his time.

After receiving the invitation, Ji Sunsi did not dare to neglect. Now that Duke Lu Ding passed away, the newly appointed Marquis Lu didn't even have his butt warmed up, and he was also a timid master. There is no sense of presence.

The civil strife in Jin State had a great impact on Lu State. At least Jisun Si didn't have any ideas in his heart now. It was just a helpless move to seek refuge in Qi State. In the future, Qi State will be stronger, so he will definitely have other ideas about Lu State.

Under such circumstances, if the relationship with Mengdi can be eased, it will be a good thing for Lu Guo.

After Ji Sunsi arrived in Feiyi, Mengdi set up a banquet in the mansion for entertainment, and he said with a smile after meeting.

"I haven't seen Hengzi for a long time, and my spirits have dropped a lot. Could it be that I haven't had a rest recently?"

After hearing this, Ji Sunsi sighed, with a look of sadness on his face.

"The state of Jin is now in civil turmoil, and the state of Lu has lost its greatest support. It has no choice but to rely on its old enemy, the state of Qi. Now that the Marquis of Han has established a state, the doctors in the state of Lu are in constant panic. They are all worried that one day, the Marquis of Han will receive an audience in Qufu. us."

The meaning in these words was to worry about Mengdi, and at this time he took action to take down Lu Guo. After hearing this, he shook his head slightly.

"Hengzi is wrong. If this king really wants to use troops against Lu, this king can also take the opportunity to expand his territory when Sanhuan attacked Yanghu that day. Moreover, Hengzi also took good care of this king when he was in Mengyi. "

"I keep this kindness in my heart. Now Qi's ambitions are gradually expanding, and there is a tendency to compete for hegemony in the world. If Qi succeeds in becoming the overlord in the future, Han will be the first to bear the brunt, and Lu will naturally not be spared."

"This is the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, so this king wants to form a private alliance with the Lu State. In this way, we will help each other. No matter what the future situation is, as long as we can ensure that we advance and retreat together, even if Qi State is strong, we will not dare to send troops easily."

This plan coincides with Ji Sunsi's thoughts, but he still has some hesitation in his heart.

"There is nothing wrong with us forming an alliance in private, but there is one thing. Lu is a small country. If we admit the emperor of Huaicheng at this time, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble. This is okay, please forgive me."

For his scruples, Meng Di naturally will not force it. Since a big country wants to dominate, whether it is Jin or Qi, he doesn't have much respect for Emperor Zhou, but to maintain legitimacy.

The state of Jin will certainly not recognize the new emperor of Huaicheng, but the state of Qi is likely to admit it, because it is beneficial for the state of Qi to dominate. It must be something that the state of Qi is willing to do to overthrow King Zhou Jing, who was supported by the state of Jin. .

But there is a premise here, that is, Qi State can control the emperor of Huai City, but Meng Di will not give in the slightest on this point. Under such circumstances, it is normal for Lu State to have such worries, so he Then he opened his mouth and said.

"This king can understand this. This matter can be discussed later. In addition, this king has promised Qihou to send troops to attack Jin. However, there is a shortage of food in the country, so I want to buy some food from Hengzi."

Now that he was able to form an alliance in private, Ji Sunsi breathed a sigh of relief, and naturally there was no pressure on selling grain.

"It's easy to talk about. After I go back, I will unite with other families to collect some food. It can be regarded as a gift for the founding of the Han Kingdom, and it can also be regarded as a kind of favor from the Lu Kingdom to the Han Kingdom."

For such a good thing, Mengdi did not agree to it, and he also needed to show enough kindness to make the doctors of Lu country feel at ease, so he refused on the spot.

"Heng Zi's kindness, this king appreciates it, but if Heng Zi does this, it is very likely that in the future, it will be accepted and cause unnecessary trouble for the Lu country. Since we have formed an alliance in private, this king will naturally treat each other with sincerity. "

When Ji Sunsi heard this, his face showed shame, and he got up and saluted.

"My words just now were not cautious enough, and I misunderstood the meaning of Hanhou. Please don't blame Hanhou. If this is the case, then I will prepare it immediately after I go back. There is another thing. I am concerned about the armor that Hanhou gave last time. Very interested."

"If possible, I am willing to exchange food for the armor and weapons of the Marquis of Han. I don't know what the Marquis of Han thinks? Of course, if the Marquis of Han finds it inconvenient, then I will assume that I have never said such a thing."

Mengdi gave Ji Sunsi the iron armor, on the one hand to show his own strength, on the other hand he also wanted to improve the combat effectiveness of Lu's army. Only in this way can the relationship between the two countries be closer, so he agreed on the spot.

"It's not inconvenient, but the armor and weapons made of evil gold are quite cumbersome, and the output is not high. Well, after half a year, I can give Hengzi [-] sets. As for what kind of shape is needed? , Heng Zi can decide on his own."

Unexpectedly, Meng Di agreed so quickly. Ji Sunsi realized that the smelting of evil gold in the Han Dynasty had reached a very high level, which shocked him.
