After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 235 Delivery of Nanju
Speaking of this, Guoxia still felt a little lack of confidence, and added after thinking about it.

"However, we can't relax our guard against the Tian family. We can send people to monitor Tian's movements. If they are really planning to make trouble at this time, then Tian's name can just be removed from Qi."

"But it's not a last resort. You can't do such a thing. Now that Han is watching, if there is a civil strife in Qi, Mengdi will definitely send troops. At that time, who in Qi can resist?"

Gao Zhang's face turned red when he said this, but he also knew that Guo Xia was telling the truth, so he sighed.

"But Qihou didn't see this now, but under the current situation, you and I can't tell these things clearly, but at this time Qihou still wants to use troops against Han."

Gao Zhang and Guo Xia cannot be blamed for the current state of Qi. Although they are capable, they lack the courage to speak out, and most of the time they consider personal interests.

If there is nothing happening in Qi State, there will naturally be no major problems with their approach, but now they have obviously encountered chaos, and it is a big taboo to hesitate.

But Gao Zhang and Guo Xia obviously didn't think of this, or thought of it, but they didn't have the courage to do it, because the most important thing in their hearts was the prosperity of their own family.

Half a month later, Tian Qi brought his son Tian Chang to Nanju City, where he was waiting for Meng Di to come.

Looking at the relatively dilapidated Nanju City, Tian Chang asked with a worried face.

"Father Qihou made such a request, how could it be possible? Meng Di is not stupid, a short-term truce will not benefit Han at all, how could he agree?"

"Besides, this Nanju city is not a big city, nor is it considered strong. Just relying on such a city, no matter how you look at it, it can't withstand the attack of our Qi army. Why didn't father argue in front of Qihou?"

Hearing what he said, Tian Qi had a smile on his face, he didn't seem to care about these problems at all, and said.

"Do you think Mengdi is really short of food? If so, why did Huaicheng produce a large amount of Mengbaijiu recently? This is just a shortcoming that Mengdi deliberately revealed for us to see."

"This shows that Mengdi also has ideas about Qi, and this is also a good opportunity for my Tian family. Only when I do what others can't do, will my Tian family's prestige be increased."

"Nowadays, the Gao clan and the Guo clan are becoming more and more jealous of us. The more it is at this time, the more we have to show the close relationship between us and the Han country, so that they can make them use the mouse."

"Qihou is scheming against Mengdi. Just like what you said, Mengdi is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Everyone just takes what they need. This time, as a father, I have to talk to this Mengdi in person. success."

Although Tian Chang is in charge of conducting trade with the Han Kingdom, his usual focus is on the benefits gained, but Tian Qi can roughly analyze the current strength of the Han Kingdom from the volume of these trades.

Now the Han Kingdom has enough money with wine, armor and weapons, and now urgently needs a lot of labor, so it is trying to find a way to buy more from Tian's hands.

And Qihou had already hinted to Tian Qi that as long as Meng Di could make a short-term truce agreement, it would be possible to make some more concessions, which made him feel some unusual signals.

In order for the Qi State to be able to dominate, the Marquis of Qi was already a little dazed. The strange thing was that Gao Zhang and Guo Xia had kept acquiescing to Marquis Qi's actions, which made Tian Qi smell a dangerous signal from it.

Although Qi State appears to be relatively stable on the surface, the conflicts between them are also very serious. Gao Zhang and Guo Xia have done two things over the years.

One is to cater to the meaning of the Marquis of Qi and make concessions while governing Qi. Otherwise, Gao Zhang would not be in charge of Qi for such a long time. In terms of ability, Yan Ying is more suitable to be in power than Gao Zhang.

Another thing is to strengthen the Gao family and the Guo family. The benefits have been taken by these two families. Naturally, they are dissatisfied with going to other families. The Tian family has vaguely become the backbone of other small and medium-sized families in Qi.

Through private funding and business cooperation, the Tian family has been able to raise their arms, and most of the families will respond, so during this period of time, they privately purchased armor and weapons from Meng Di, just for emergencies.

That's why Tian Qicai was so confident. After Qihou finished explaining, he agreed without hesitation.

At this time, Tian Chang had a look of surprise on his face, and he asked in disbelief.

"Father means that if Mengdi wants to take action against our country of Qi, it won't work? If that's the case, why should we cooperate with Mengdi? What benefits does this have for our Tian family?"

It was obvious that his son didn't understand the root cause of this, Tian Qi patiently explained.

"You have to take a long-term view. The Gao family and the Guo family are not weak now. If we rely on our own strength, it will take more time to endure. Once Qihou dies, then we still need to find It takes a chance to make a move.”

"As for whether it will succeed in the end, no one knows, but if Mengdi is used reasonably, the result will be very different. Since Mengdi is good at military affairs, as long as he is willing to help our Tian family, then we will be more confident. "

Having said that, Tian Qi stopped talking, and saw a group of cavalry coming from outside the city, with a smile on his face.

"The lord is here. Whether our Tian family can govern in Qi depends on the result of this negotiation. I hope this Mengdi will not disappoint the old man!"

After hearing this, Tian Chang felt a little puzzled. He vaguely felt that his father seemed to have a very bold plan, which might determine the future prosperity of the Tian family, and he couldn't help but get excited.

After getting off the top of the city, they boarded the chariot and filed out along the opened city gate. After Tian Qi and Mengdi saluted each other at the foot of Nanju City, Tian Qi spoke first.

"Meng Zi has always had a good personal relationship with my Tian family. For this reason, my Tian family has earned a lot of money. Before the discussion, the old man wants to express some letters. How about asking Meng Zi to move over and have a few drinks with the old man?"
