After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 234
Qi State Linzi.

Seeing that Gaozhuang and the country came hand in hand, Qihou seemed to have made corresponding preparations, so he asked.

"This year's grain harvest in our country of Qi is a very good sign. It shows that our country of Qi is expected to dominate. Since the two of you came together, it means that Meng Di should agree to send troops, right?"

After Gao Zhang heard this, his face twitched, and he didn't speak, but turned his head to look at Guoxia. From the bottom of his heart, he disapproved of Guoxia's behavior. How could he bow his head to Mengdi Jucheng gave it to him?
But Qihou's desire to dominate is not dead, and Gao Zhang has been defeated one after another, which has made Qihou very dissatisfied at this time. It would be very unwise to stand up against this matter now, so he chose to remain silent.

Guoxia's current situation is not much better than Gao Zhang's. After all, the last time the coalition forces of the princes attacked the Jin Kingdom, they were defeated and returned. Only a part of Mengdi's troops won.

So the most important thing at the moment is to satisfy Qihou's wish first, and let Qi be the hegemon, so he gritted his teeth and said.

"Mengzi put forward two conditions. One is to sell him grain at a low price, and the other is to get the city of Nanju. If these two conditions are met, he will lead all his cavalry to attack Jin."

After finishing speaking, Guoxia lowered his head, buying food at a low price is not a big problem, the most important thing is Nanju City, although it is like a chicken rib to Qi State, it is not so prosperous after all, and it is lonely outside, and it has to be defended hard.

However, it is always a bit unpleasant to say such things as giving up the territory you have obtained. After Qihou heard this, his face was cloudy, he stood up slowly, and walked back and forth in the hall for a few times. step, and then said.

"Since he wants Nanju City, he has to pay some price. Think about it, you two, you can't just give him a city for no reason. What this king wants is to dominate the world."

"If at that time, this Meng Di is still unwilling to surrender to my country of Qi, then he will be the next target to be attacked. Whatever he eats in Nanju City, he will spit it out to me at that time."

As soon as Gao Zhang heard this, he immediately understood the meaning of Marquis Qi. Since Meng Di wanted Nanju City now, he needed to fight with all his strength in this battle. At that time, his strength would be greatly damaged.

At that time, Qi will have the final say on the outcome of Han, although he doesn't think so, after all, Gao Zhang and Mengdi have fought each other, and the high mobility of the disease has left a deep impression on him.

If it was obvious that Meng Di was to die, he would definitely not do it, so he had to plan carefully.

But looking at Qi Hou was in a good mood, and Gao Zhang didn't want to spoil the fun, so he immediately flattered him.

"Your Majesty is indeed wise. In this way, even if our country of Qi temporarily loses some benefits, it will be of great benefit to us. As long as Mengdi suffers heavy losses in this battle, then our country of Qi Opportunity."

"However, this time Meng Di also proposed to make an agreement with Qi Guo to stop the war, and he also wanted to keep someone behind, so this matter needs to be carefully planned before it can be completed. The Tian family has always been on good terms with Meng Di, and they can do it this matter."

In Gao Zhang's words, Tian Shi was brought out, just to let Qi Hou know that Tian Shi has been very close to Mengdi for a while.

As if he didn't hear it, Qi Hou nodded in agreement and said.

"This is a good idea. I heard from Tian Xizi that this Mengzi is a bit greedy. As long as you give him enough benefits, there is nothing you can't talk about. He is currently asking the Tian family to buy a batch of slaves."

"At that time, the big deal is to provide him with some more. There are some untouchables on the left and right. The truce cannot exceed two years at most. You can think of a better reason. Tian Xizi has a lot of evil ideas, and he will definitely be able to do it."

After hearing this, Gao Zhang's heart was chilled and he was shocked at the same time. He didn't expect that many things that Tian did in private were not hidden from Qihou. It's no wonder that Qihou was so indulgent to Tian.

This also made Gao Zhang realize that Tian's scheming was far deeper than he imagined, and it made him vigilant in an instant.

At this time, Qihou suddenly stopped, and then he made a decision to speak directly.

"Since this is the case, this time the delivery of Nanju City will be handed over to Tian Xizi, and he must persuade Mengzi to focus on Nanju City instead of focusing on the Qi Kingdom with me. On the matter of the armistice."

What Qihou said was a bit wishful thinking, Gao Zhang and Guo Xia looked at each other, and they agreed that they didn't speak. Since this matter was entrusted to Tian, ​​they were naturally happy with the commission.

Because they know very well that Meng Di is not a person who is easy to fool. If the negotiation fails after Tian Qi passes by, at least they will know where Meng Di’s bottom line is, and then they can make corresponding countermeasures based on this information. up.

After leaving the palace, Gao Zhang stopped Guoxia who was about to leave, and invited him.

"It's been a while since we got together in private, so how about going to your house for a little while if you're free today?"

There must be something to talk about, Guoxia naturally didn't refuse, so he agreed, he is not at peace now, he always feels that he may not be able to trick Mengdi this time.

After arriving at the study room, the two sat down. At this time, Gao Zhang said with a worried expression on his face.

"I didn't expect that Tian Xizi would be so favored in front of the Marquis of Qi. This is not a good thing for you and my family. The Tian family separated the Chen family, the Sun family and the Sima family. stronger."

"Especially at a time like this, if Qi's dispatch of troops still fails to win this time, then you and I may not be able to sit securely, and Qihou's health is getting worse and worse, and his temper is becoming more and more irritable. Not a good situation."

Counting that Qi Jinggong is now over 60 years old, and he has been aging a lot recently, every time he encounters this kind of power transfer, some unexpected things will always happen.

When Gao Zhang mentions these things now, his consciousness is obvious. At this time, it is time to start preparing in advance. Guoxia is also well aware of this kind of thing. He frowned and thought for a while, and then said.

"Marquis Qi likes his youngest son Lu Tu the most. As long as he can ensure the succession of the son, there will be no major problems in Qi."
