After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 266
After hearing this, Gao Zhang's expression changed. He couldn't be more clear about Tian Qi's methods. In order to keep Tian's family, Tian Qi killed Tian Rangju for this, and then flattered and Gao Zhang. This kind of scheming and means It's beyond what ordinary people can do.

Despite being on guard everywhere, the Tian family has grown rapidly. The biggest reason is because Marquis Qi wanted to use this method to balance the power relations within the Qi state. Otherwise, Gao Zhang and Guo Xia would have already taken action against the Tian family.

Now that Marquis Qi is bedridden, he may pass away at any time. Under such circumstances, the conflict between the Tian clan, the Gao clan, and the Guo clan will eventually erupt completely. At that time, it will be a time of life and death.

After Gao Zhang thought for a while, he raised his head and spoke slowly.

"If this is the case, both of us can't leave Qi State. Since you have proposed a strategy to conquer Jin State, then this time you will lead the troops to go. If anything happens in Qi State, Gao will be able to deal with it in time. deal with."

"At least we must protect the interests of our two families in Qi State. Qi State is always the most important to us. If there is any change in the Tian family, or if there is any event in the Qihou, then we can do it next." I'm looking for Mrs. Tian."

Guoxia nodded slowly after hearing this, and felt that such an arrangement was appropriate, so she said it immediately.

"Since this is the case, it should not be too late. Then I will rush to see Marquis Qi, and strive to send troops to conquer Jin again this time. The only thing to consider is, what agreement did Meng Di have with the Tian family? Gao Xiangguo must pay attention to this matter, Just in case."

When the two of them were discussing how to deal with Tian Shi, Tian Qi had already arrived in the palace and said to Qi Hou.

"Your Majesty, although it is said that the allied forces of the princes were defeated again this time, Mengzi's defeat of the Jin army under Chao Gecheng has greatly reduced the number of Jin's troops. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to launch another attack."

"Then it will be a long way for us Qi to dominate, so after thinking about it recently, I have a good way to deal with Jin, and I am willing to dedicate it to the king."

Qi Hou, who was already a little sick, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and his body leaning on the soft couch suddenly sat up. He had waited too long for Qi to dominate the world, so he immediately asked road.

"What opinion do you have, but it's okay to say, if it is feasible, then this king will allow you to lead troops to conquer Jin."

This attack was for this purpose, and Tian Qi was overjoyed after hearing this, but the expression on his face did not change at all, but he looked extremely humble and explained.

"In the past, the allied forces of the princes were all to rescue the Zhongxing and Fan clans, and their forces were too concentrated, which gave Zhao Jianzi an opportunity. If we don't focus on rescuing the city this time, but take the opportunity in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom Sweep."

"In this way, we will definitely be able to win. After all, the civil strife in the Jin Kingdom has not subsided for such a long time. After repeated battles, the people must be miserable. If we do this at this time, we can seriously hurt the vitality of the Jin Kingdom. "

"At that time, Zhao Jianzi will no longer have the strength to fight against the coalition forces of the princes, and then the time when our Qi country will become the hegemony is just around the corner, and in this way, we can also plunder a large amount of food and people to enrich our Qi country, so that we can kill two birds with one stone."

After Qihou listened, his face revealed a contemplative expression. Although he was sick, his mind was not muddled. Thinking carefully about the previous two dispatches, wasn't it the same as what Tian Qi said?

The allied forces of the princes were only to rescue Chaoge or Handan. Under such circumstances, they were led by the nose by Zhao Yang and eventually lost. Thinking of this incident filled Qihou's heart with anger, so he nodded and said.

"Okay, what you said is very good. If this is the case, I will let you lead the army to conquer Jin. This time, I will allow you to act independently. After all, Jin is a big country. If you want to completely win, I am afraid it will take a lot of money." time."

"As long as you can maintain the results of the battle and consume the strength of Jin, then this king will count you as a great achievement. If Qi can dominate in the future, this king will let you become the prime minister of Qi."

This is indeed a bit dazed, Qihou is a little indiscriminate in his speech now, and he has completely lost the momentum of commanding and determined. Tian Chang was very excited after listening to it, and he said immediately.

"In this case, I will send people to contact other vassal states, but there is one more thing, and that is the envoy of the Han State. This time, the main purpose of coming to Qi State is to crusade against Song State."

"In my opinion, we can agree to this request in exchange for Han's full force. After all, Mengzi won the two previous battles. With Mengzi's help, the conquest of Jin will be more assured. .”

Now that he has come to this point, Qihou didn't think too much about the gains and losses, so he made a decision immediately.

"This is just a trivial matter. Since the Song Dynasty is at the top of the rat, it should be reported. Then I will let Gao Xiangguo handle the matter. After you go back, you will lead the army to conquer the Jin Dynasty, but now we are all together. There is not enough food in the country, which is a big problem.”

Now that he has achieved his desired goal, Tian Qi naturally doesn't mind paying more for it, so he said.

"Since the national treasury is empty, then my Tian family will donate the good that is hidden in the family, and contribute to the king's struggle for hegemony in the world, so that our country of Qi can restore its former hegemony!"

When Qihou heard this, he was very moved. After he took a breath, he said with some emotion.

"At this moment, your Tian family is willing to sacrifice your self-interest for the sake of the country. It is really commendable. I hope you will be careful after this expedition, and you must not repeat the same mistakes. The king's lifelong wish will be pinned on you."

Tian Qi had tears in his eyes when he heard this, and bowed to the ground after leaving his seat, and said in a tone full of emotion.

"My Tian family has been cautious in the Qi country for these years. If it weren't for the blessing of the king, my Tian family might have been destroyed long ago. Therefore, it is only natural to serve the king at this time. I only hope that the king will recover soon."

"At that time, the hegemony of the Qi State has been achieved, and the king will be able to revive the Qi State to conquer the non-subjects, and also let the century-old humiliation of the Qi State suppressed by the Jin State be washed away."

After Qihou heard this, a look of relief appeared on his face. His whole life was for this goal, and it was also his last wish in life.
