After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 224 Tian's Ambition
After hearing this, Tian Qi thought for a while before making a decision.

"It's not that time yet. Judging from the current situation, the civil strife in Jin will last for a long time. Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe are still strong. Qihou now hopes to send troops to Jin again soon."

"However, from my father's point of view, with Gao Zhang and Guo Xia's abilities, even if I lead the army again, I'm afraid they will return in vain. Among other things, Zhao Jianzi is also very experienced in using troops, and he is still commanding in the face of crisis."

"At this time, the first thing we do is to endure. This time, we will not only help Mengdi take Nanju City, but you also have to go to Huaicheng again. You must tell Mengdi that at this time, you will help Qi State win Winning is not a good thing."

After hearing this, Tian Chang showed a puzzled look on his face, and he asked a little strangely.

"Father, at this time we make such a request with Mengdi, which is very detrimental to our country of Qi. Once our country of Qi is defeated, there will definitely be internal instability. What if Mengdi sends troops to attack at this time? manage?"

Glancing at his son, Tian Qi had an inexplicable smile on his face, and said calmly.

"Mengdi is very ambitious. Last time the allied forces of the princes attacked Jin, he waited until the end to make a move. He obviously meant to preserve his strength. Now that he proposed to make peace with Qi and take down Nanju City, it was just a show. .”

"What we actually want is to gain time for development. This is also a good opportunity for our Tian family. At this time, we must replace Gao Zhang as soon as possible. If we want to do this, we need to lead the army to attack Jin."

"If Gao Zhang led his troops to attack the Jin State twice and returned without success, then the result can be imagined. Qi Hou will definitely be dissatisfied with the two of them, so this time we put forward such a condition, and we just took advantage of this opportunity."

"While attacking Gao Zhang and Guo Xia, we will increase the prestige of our Tian family, so this time, we must show our sincerity in Huai City, so that we can have a deeper cooperation with Meng Di."

Hearing these words, Tian Chang was full of admiration. After such a continuous fight, Qihou, who was determined to dominate, would definitely be extremely dissatisfied with Gao Zhang and Guoxia, then Tian would be able to take the opportunity to lead troops to the expedition .

It's just that there is still a problem here, and that is how to guarantee victory, so Tian Chang asked.

"There is nothing wrong with my father's plan. It's just that when we lead the army to go out, if we fail to win, we will still be unable to explain to Marquis Qi in the end. This will not do my Tian family any good."

Hearing this, Tian Qi shook his head, with a bright smile on his face, and said confidently.

"Gao Zhang failed to win the Jin Kingdom twice. If we can win, it will be the best. If we can't win, what loss will we have? Since Mengdi can win a small victory over Zhao Jianzi, we can listen to him at that time. Views."

"Under such circumstances, what we need to do is to let the outcome of the war be in our favor. As long as we gain certain benefits from attacking Jin, then I can not only enhance Tian's prestige when I come back, but also attack Gaozhang and the country. summer."

"So to be undefeated is to win. Sometimes we have to take a long-term view. At this time, Qihou is old. Once something happens, Qi will have a new monarch. The military power must be controlled. In our hands."

"The timing must be accurately grasped, so that I, Tian, ​​can get the greatest benefit. That's why I asked you to teach Mengdi well."

Only then did Tian Chang understand what his father meant, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Tian Qi obviously wanted to lead his troops out, delay as much as possible, wait until Qihou passed away, bring the army back, and then crusade against the Gao family and the country Shi.

So a look of understanding appeared in his eyes, and he spoke immediately.

"My son knows what to do. Qihou now likes his youngest son Lu Tu the most, but among all the sons, which son does father value the most?"

Seeing his son's quick response, Tian Qi laughed and nodded approvingly.

"At this time, it doesn't matter which son you choose. The important thing is to choose someone who can be obedient and become the next monarch of Qi. This is in the best interests of our Tian family."

"So once you lead the troops for the father, you should stay in the country of Qi and carefully screen. If Qihou really dies, then unite with other families in the country of Qi and make preparations. When the father returns with the troops, you will be The day when the Gao and Guo clans were wiped out."

Over the years, the Tian family has been oppressed by Gao Zhang and Guo Xia. Although Tian Qi is very obedient on the surface, but in his heart, he has long hated it. If he wants to completely control Qi, then the Gao family and the Guo family are the biggest. obstacles.

After hearing this plan, Tian Chang was very excited. He seemed to have seen the situation where the Tian family was in charge of Qi.

A few days later, Guoyuan also rushed back to Linzi, and described to Guoxia the details of seeing Mengdi this time.

After listening to it, Guo Xia's face showed a pensive look, and after thinking for a long time, he spoke.

"Nanju City is not considered dangerous. At this time, it is not a good thing for our Qi State to give it to the Han State. In this way, the Han State will have the initiative. As long as the city continues to be strengthened in the future, once it becomes a strong city .”

"Then in the future, if the Qi State and the Han State become hostile, then Mengdi can rely on this city to deal with our Qi State. However, this is not the most worrying thing for my father. Since Mengdi said that he has the conditions to talk to Tian."

"The meaning of these words is clearly to remind you that there is a connection between Han and Tian, ​​and Meng Di is a person who understands current affairs. Since he decided to send troops at this time, it is impossible to make excessive demands on Qi. "

"From this point of view, Mengdi wants to suppress Tian with the help of Weifu and Gao Xiangguo. Although it is not clear why he did this, Tian's recent actions are somewhat secretive."

Kunihara nodded after listening, with a pensive look on his face, and then spoke slowly.

"I also have this feeling. Although Mengdi has always been close to Tian Shi, he always said something in private. Although the words were cryptic, the meaning was obvious. That was to remind me to beware of Tian Shi."

"Father, is this a way of alienation? Do you want to cause discord within Qi? In this way, Qi will fall into turmoil, and then Han will have more time to develop. Only in this way can we In Monty's interest."
