After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 233 The Wisdom Clan
Regarding Meng Di's question, Sun Wu smiled and began to analyze it carefully.

"Now that Chaoge is under repeated siege, Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe are seriously short of troops, weapons and food. Under such circumstances, only they can resist Zhao Jianzi's attack."

"Then the coalition of princes led by the state of Qi can have a reason to continue the attack. Presumably Zhao Jianzi must be aware of this reason, so Zhao Jianzi will definitely try his best to prevent the coalition of princes from delivering supplies to Chaoge."

"Under such circumstances, as long as Zhao Jianzi can take down this supply unit, then the coalition forces of the princes will still lose in this war, so the Marquis of Han must make preparations in advance."

It was obvious from these words that Mengdi's plan was to defeat the allied forces of the princes in the end, but it was to weaken Zhao Yang's strength to the greatest extent.

Talking to smart people can also save a lot of energy. Meng Di nodded thoughtfully, remembering that the last time he fought against Zhao Jianzi, the opponent's reaction and command ability were better than those of the generals of the coalition of princes Too much.

Xintian of Jin State.

The general of the Chinese army, Zhixuan, has been getting worse and worse recently, which makes him worried. He cannot fall at this critical moment. The coalition of princes that Zhao Yang successfully repelled last time is now in Jin State growing prestige.

If this situation continues, it will not be a good thing for the Zhi family. As the current ruler of the Jin state, it is inevitable for Zhi Li to consider his own family.

But now before him, there is one more important thing, and that is the choice of heir.

Looking at the group of Zhi clan members in front of him, Zhi Bi was silent for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"The old man's health is getting worse and worse. I'm afraid I don't have much time to take him to the position of the lieutenant general. It's just that I'm a little worried about the future Patriarch of my Zhi family. I don't know what opinions you have."

After hearing this, everyone first discussed in low voices, and then began to express their opinions one after another.

"Among the sons of the Patriarch, the most outstanding one is of course Master Zhiyao. He is not only extraordinary in appearance, but also superb in swordsmanship, knowledge is extraordinary, has the ability to change, and has a resolute and decisive personality. candidate."

"I feel that Mr. Zhi Xiao can be the next head of the family. Although he is not talented enough, he can treat people with tolerance and benevolence. This will ensure that the Zhi family can preserve itself in the current chaos."

"Your Majesty disagrees with such a statement. I would like to ask the Patriarch to make Mr. Zhiyao the next Patriarch. Only in this way can my Zhi family be able to compete with Zhao Jianzi. Now that Zhao Jianzi's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, if the family is too conservative, I am afraid it will be difficult to be a great leader. .”

After hearing everyone's discussion, Zhixuan also felt a little difficult to make a decision for a while.

At this time, among the members of the Zhi clan, one person came out more and more. It was Zhi Guo, the patriarch of the Zhi clan branch, who had a considerable status in the Zhi clan. He saluted first, and then directly expressed his opinion .

"Although Mr. Zhiyao is very smart, he has no benevolence in his heart and treats his clan members too harshly. In this way, if he is the successor family in the future, he will not be able to get the support of other families because of his sincerity. .”

"Internally, it will also make the Zhi family divorced from morality. If it goes on for a long time, then my Zhi family may be difficult to protect myself in this chaotic situation. Back then, Jin Pinggong suppressed my Zhi family, and my family almost disappeared."

"The strength of our Zhi clan has just recovered, so naturally we should focus on self-protection. If we still want to make Zhi clan stronger at this time, then it is very likely that we will invite trouble."

After the other clansmen heard this, they fell silent for a moment, they all knew in their hearts that Zhiyao's favorite was Zhiyao, even if they opposed it, they would not say it so bluntly.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhixuan's face changed, but he didn't speak for the first time, but made calculations in his heart. Now he is a general of the Chinese army and has been recruited by some members of the Zhongxing and Fan clans.

But now in the state of Jin, Han Buxin and Wei Lu are mediocre people, and the only thing they consider is Zhao Yang. Under such circumstances, as long as they try their best to fight for the Wei family and the Han style, then the Zhi family can take advantage of this opportunity rise.

Restoring Zhi's family is Zhi's lifelong wish, how could he give up so easily?So after thinking about it, Zhibi finally made up his mind, glanced at Zhiguo, and said calmly.

"Although Zhixiao has a benevolent heart, he is not capable enough. After becoming the head of the family in the future, he will definitely not be Zhao Jianzi's opponent. In this way, my Zhi family may gradually decline because of being too conservative."

"It's been hard for Zhishi to get to where it is today. How can we give up so easily? Although what you said has some truth, in this chaotic situation, benevolence and morality may not be able to keep Zhishi."

After hearing this, Zhiguo let out a long sigh, then saluted again, and spoke persuasively.

"Zhao Jianzi is now determined to reform. After such a long period of development, the strength of the Zhao family has surpassed our imagination. Just like the last time, Zhao Jianzi was still able to win the final victory when the enemy was strong and we were weak."

"This shows that his ability is extraordinary, and if something unexpected happens to the Patriarch, then Zhao Jianzi will become the general of the Jin Kingdom. At that time, can I, Mrs. Zhi, still resist Zhao Jianzi?"

"Therefore, I will try my best to persuade the Patriarch to appoint Zhi Xiao as the next Patriarch. Only in this way can the Zhi family be continued. Otherwise, there will be a way to bring disaster. Patriarch, please think again."

This is obviously because of the opposition of choices. Zhixuan wants to choose a patriarch with superior ability, so as to realize the prosperity of Zhishi. At that time, Zhiguo is not optimistic about this, and chooses a relatively conservative strategy.

In the end, with the support of Zhibi, Zhiyao was appointed as the next Patriarch of the Zhi family. Zhiguo was full of worries about this. After returning to his territory, after thinking about it, he felt that he could not sit still.

So Zhiguo made a decision, that is to lead his clansmen to re-establish the ancestral temple and change the surname to the auxiliary, hoping to avoid possible disasters in the future.

In this regard, Zhibi also maintained a tacit attitude. Although there were some disputes between the two, the final result was for Zhishi, because no one can predict what will happen in the future.
