After Spring and Autumn

236 Conditions of cooperation
Looking at the gray-haired old man standing on the chariot in front of him, Meng Di was deeply moved. This is a serious conspirator. I feel a little admired.

Now that it is fake to drink, it is clear that there is something to discuss, Meng Di naturally agrees and agrees.

Meng Di took Yu Rang with him, and Tian Chang drove for Tian Qi. After leaving the group, he stopped on a nearby mound. The promised wine did not appear. At this time, Tian Qi did not hide anything and said directly. .

"The old man came here this time, and wanted to talk about the future with the Marquis of Han. To be honest, the Marquis of Qi asked the old man to come here this time. One is to deliver Nanju City, and the other is to discuss the truce."

"Qihou means that the shorter the truce, the better, and the old man hopes to settle this matter with Hanhou, so that my Tian family can be reused in front of Qihou. There are benefits too."

As soon as he came up, he made his attitude clear, which made Meng Di feel that the Tian beggar in front of him was more difficult to deal with than Tian Chang, so he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and finally asked with a smile on his face.

"From Tian Xizi's words, I only heard about the benefits of the Tian family, but I didn't hear any benefits for the Han country, so I would like to hear the details. If the conditions are right, there is nothing that cannot be discussed. .”

From these words, Mengdi felt that Tian was about to make a big move, which made him a little curious.

But Tian Qi smiled slightly at this time, looked at Meng Di meaningfully, and asked rhetorically instead of answering.

"Why did the Marquis of Han agree to the request of Qi to send troops to Jin?"

After hearing this, Meng Di was a little uncertain about Tian Qi's attitude, so he hesitated a little, and then said.

"Because there is no room for change between Han and Jin, under such circumstances, it is natural to cooperate with another big country. This can not only weaken the strength of Jin, but also express the sincerity of Han. .”

But after Tian Qi heard the words, he laughed out loud, and then he stopped laughing and spoke unceremoniously.

"I'm afraid Han is also waiting for an opportunity? The current Lu State is probably under the control of the Marquis of Han. Among the vassal states around Han, the only ones that can threaten Han are Qi and Wu."

"A while ago, Wu Zixu, the prime minister of Wu, was bestowed to death by Wu Wangfuchai. After hearing the news, the Marquis of Han must have breathed a sigh of relief, right? And Marquis Han has advisers like Ji Ran and Bai Gui beside him. Qi Guo will definitely increase his defenses."

"If the Marquis of Han can open his heart, then I, the Tian family, can also help the Marquis of Han to truly stabilize the relationship with Qi. At that time, Qi will recognize the emperor of Huaicheng. From then on, our two countries will work together to fight against Jin. country."

Although the words were not clearly stated, Meng Di had already heard it. Tian Qi had already exposed his ambition without any concealment, that is to control the power of the Qi State. This result is very in line with the current interests of the Han State.

But in Meng Di's opinion, this is still not enough, so he smiled slightly and asked.

"If Tian Xizi has any plans and needs my king's help, as long as conditions permit, then naturally there will be no problem."

For this result, Tian Qi was not surprised, and then revealed his plan.

"The Marquis of Han is leading troops this time. I hope that the Marquis of Han will be more cautious. As long as Gao Zhang and Guo Xia return without success this time, I, Tian, ​​only need to come up with a reasonable battle plan."

"Then the old man is likely to become the main general of the Qi army attacking the Jin country. At that time, the Marquis of Han only needs to cooperate with Tian's battle, and the time of the war will be delayed longer, giving the old man enough time. Take control of the army."

"As long as the Marquis of Han can agree, then this time, our Tian clan will provide more than [-] slaves to the Marquis of Han, and increase investment in Huai City. If Gao Zhang and Guoxia plan to attack Han in the future, the Tian clan will also It can be used as an internal response."

After Mengdi heard these words, he immediately realized that there might be a problem within Qi, otherwise, Tian Qi would not have behaved like this, and there is only one possibility that can cause this result, so he asked .

"Is there something wrong with Qihou's body?"

Grasping the point at once, Tian Qi gave Mengdi a high look, he nodded slowly and said.

"The reason Qihou is so anxious now is because his health is getting worse and worse. This is a rare opportunity for Hanhou and I, Tian. I wonder what Hanhou thinks about the proposal just now?"

At this time, Meng Di secretly sighed in his heart. Now in the vassal states under the world, if the king is stronger, then after his death, there will be some civil strife.

Just like Wei Linggong of Weiguo, who has controlled Weiguo for so many years, his son rebelled directly before he died, and the reason turned out to be that he wanted to kill his own mother.

Qin Mugong appeared in Qin State, which made Qin State stronger for a while. As a result, after his death, Qin Kanggong ascended the throne and did a great job, but since then, Qin State has also gradually declined because of focusing on internal struggles.

The most important reason is that the successor is not capable enough. Qi is facing such a situation now, because the monarch has too much power, and any policy will affect the rise and fall of the country, which gives those ambitious people a very suitable opportunity.

The Tian beggar in front of him is precisely aiming at this point, so he proposes such a plan. At this time, Mengdi is thinking about what kind of benefits he can get from it, and then he speaks after a while.

"I have felt Tian's sincerity, and I generally agree with this plan. If Gao Zhang and Guoxia really lead troops to invade the Han Kingdom in the future, then I hope that the land occupied by this king can be owned by the Han Kingdom."

Tian Qi laughed as soon as he heard this, it was almost as he had guessed, Meng Di was indeed an ambitious man, in his opinion the cavalry of the Han Kingdom were good for field battles, but if they were used for siege, they might look like powerless.

At that time, as long as he returns quickly with his troops and destroys the Gao and Guo clans, then Meng Di may not be able to win many cities, not to mention the existence of the Great Wall of Qi, which is the best line of defense against Meng Di, so he laughed said.

"If that's the case, then this matter is settled. When the Marquis of Han returns with his troops, my Tian family's promise will be fulfilled."
