After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 261 Prepare to send troops
Meng Di had just arrived in Feiyi, and Tian Chang also came here in a hurry. After getting the news, he had a smile on his face. He didn't let Tian Chang come to see him immediately, but started to discuss the next countermeasures with Ji Ran. he spoke.

"It seems that Mrs. Tian is preparing to lead the army this time. Now the whole situation has become chaotic. Mrs. Tian has a vicious vision and seized this great opportunity. I heard that King Qi is sick in bed now. I don't know what's going on?"

But Ji Ran shook his head with a smile, his expression was very indifferent, obviously contemptuous.

"The Tian family wants to control the Qi country, but it is for their own self-interest. For this reason, they do not hesitate to cooperate with us. Under such circumstances, we must help them fulfill their wishes."

"Zhao Jianzi of the Jin State has become the ruler now. If the Tian family of the Qi State takes power in the future, the Qi State will definitely fall into civil strife. Even if it recovers for a short time, it will be severely damaged by then."

"This time, the speed of using troops against Jin must be fast. Zhao Jianzi is also a man of foresight. If he quells the civil strife in Jin, it will be too late to attack Jin at that time."

After hearing this, Mengdi also nodded in agreement, which was the same as what he thought, so he said.

"The rebels in Handan and Chaoge are the thorns in Zhao Jianzi's eyes. He will definitely not let them go. Moreover, the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei are closely related. The Zhi family will definitely not have any chance to gain power. This will not be a good thing for us."

"But the problem is that the Marquis of Qi is currently bedridden. I just don't know if they can seize this opportunity? When passing through Weiguo Road, Wei Chugong once expressed his desire to join us in fighting against Jin."

"However, the strength of Zheng State has been greatly damaged now, and it is not what it used to be. Under such circumstances, the only ones who can send troops are Qi State, Wei State, and us. It may not be easy to seriously damage Jin State. .”

But Ji Ran smiled slightly, as if he was holding a wisdom pearl, he opened his mouth to analyze.

"This time, the lord was under the city of Chaoge, and the defeat of the Jin army also made the vassal states in the world look at the lord with admiration. Before that, the allied forces of the princes had been focusing on helping the Fan family and the Zhongxing family, and this gave Zhao Jianzi an opportunity. "

"If we do the opposite this time, nominally to rescue Handan or Chaoge, I'm afraid Zhao Jianzi will still use this strategy of avoiding the truth and pretending to be false. At that time, the lord can suggest that the purpose of rescue is not for rescue. Instead, they are attacking the Zhao clan's fiefdom."

"In this way, Zhao Jianzi can lose the strategic initiative, and maybe it will get a miraculous effect at that time. The lord can also take the opportunity to weaken Zhao Jianzi's strength and weaken his prestige in the Jin Kingdom. We can also achieve our goal."

These words made Meng Di's eyes brighten. The strategic purpose of the coalition of princes was too passive before, so they were led by the nose, and Zhao Yang seized the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, if he followed Ji Ran's strategy.

That is to carry out raids within the Zhao family's fiefdom. Even if Zhao Yang wins in the end, his vitality will still be severely injured, and it will be difficult to recover in a short time. This can buy enough time for Han.

After thinking of this, Meng Di stood up directly, and said with excitement on his face.

"Mr. Ji is indeed a good planner. I'm afraid Zhao Jianzi will have a lot of headaches because of it. This can be regarded as a great gift from me to him when he governs Jin. By the way, there is another thing."

"Mrs. Wei Linggong's wife, Nanzi, begged me for protection in private. Now I have agreed to let her be in charge of spying on the northern princes. I wonder what Mr. Ji thinks about this?"

To be honest, Mengdi felt a little regretful in his heart, mainly because he couldn't believe Nanzi, firstly because of the difference between men and women, and secondly because of Nanzi's past history, it was really worrying.

But after hearing this, Ji Ran lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then laughed and said.

"This is a good thing for the main attacker. Nanzi is the wife of Duke Ling of Wei. She knows very well about the affairs of the princes of the Central Plains, and being able to make Duke Ling of Wei love him so much must be very capable."

"As long as the lord finds a way to convince her, then the lord will have a lot of help in the future. Judging from the lord's face, it seems that he is troubled by some things. I wonder if it has something to do with Nanzi?"

When Ji Ran heard Meng Di's wry smile when he said this, he raised his head and thought about it for a moment, then said slowly.

"When I saw Nanzi in Weiguo, I felt that this woman was very unbearable, but after returning from Jinguo, I was very impressed when I saw her again. Maybe it was because of this that I felt compassion."

"After agreeing to protect Nanzi, I felt a little uneasy again. I felt that it would be reckless to do so, so I was a little hesitant because of this matter, for fear that it would spoil the great plan of the Han Dynasty."

At this time, Ji Ran put away the smile on his face, straightened his body, and said in a solemn tone.

"Everyone has a love of beauty. Nanzi has been brilliant in Wei for a long time. It is the most normal thing for the lord to be moved. However, the lord can control himself and reflect on it. This is the great fortune of the Han country. .”

"At this time, the lord doesn't need to think too much. You just need to treat him with sincerity and observe his actions, so that you can tell his loyalty and traitors. It won't be too late to make a decision at that time."

Now that the matter has come to this point, Meng Di has no good idea in his mind, so he nodded slightly and said again.

"Nanzi suggested that we take advantage of this period of time to take action against Song State. The reason is that Song State has been vacillating, and while we are attacking Jin State, we can destroy Song State by the way. This will expand the power of our Han State. I don't know. What does Mr. Ji think?"

Regarding this proposal, Ji Ran thought for a moment, then he had an idea in his mind, and then said.

"Back when Fan Xianzi detained Song State doctor Le Qi, it was Zhao Jianzi who stepped forward and saved Le Qi's life, because Zhao Jianzi had a good sense in Song State. Now Zhao Jianzi is in power as Jin State."

"It is reasonable for Song State to fall to Jin State at this time. Under such circumstances, it is indeed a good time for us to enter Song State, and the current Jin State is unable to rescue Song State."

"So my suggestion is to join forces with Zheng and Lu to attack Song and carve up Song's territory. This will not only make our relationship with Zheng and Lu closer, but also reduce Qi's vigilance. Heart."

This idea coincided with what Mengdi had in mind, so he made up his mind and prepared to use troops against Song.
