After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 345 Selling the New City
As soon as Meng Di heard it, he knew that there were other meanings behind Ji Ran's actions, so he immediately put on a look of listening carefully.

At this moment, Ji Ran sighed, pointed to a group of Han soldiers, and then spoke.

"These soldiers are all from the common people. The reason why they are willing to fight with the lord is because the lord has given them something that they cannot get from other princes, so they are willing to use their lives."

"Judging from the current situation, our country of Han is thriving. This is because of the New Deal, but such a policy is only suitable for Han. If we want to spread this policy to other places, the first problem we face is those noble."

"My lord, please think about it. Now that our country of Han has passed the New Deal, the national power has grown rapidly. Could it be that other vassal states can't see the reason? No, it's that they are unable to change the status quo."

"The main reason is that these vassal states have been passed down for a long time, and their internal relationships are intricate. More importantly, the interior of each vassal state has remained stable for the time being, and the people have not been forced to the point where it is difficult to make a living."

"Under such circumstances, even if we win these vassal states, those nobles will definitely not willingly follow us, and they will definitely cause chaos in various places. At that time, our country of Han will spend a lot of energy on this."

"There is simply no ability to expand abroad, so we have to take advantage of this time to cultivate more talents, so that we can have more qualified officials. After the occupation, we can quickly manage the place, and then cooperate with the army. In a short time, we can Stabilize."

"Otherwise, we will inevitably have to borrow the power of those nobles, which will be the greatest harm to our country of Han. That is why I oppose the destruction of Wu at this time."

Hearing this, Meng Di couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief in his heart. During this period of time, all he considered was strategic gains and losses, and he didn't look at the whole thing through the overall situation. Scared.

He couldn't be more clear about the reason for this. The reason for the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms in the early Han Dynasty was because Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty adopted Chao Cuo's opinion to cut down the vassal. The seven kings still did not retreat.

At that time, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and King Liang joined forces, and with Zhou Yafu as the general, they successfully quelled the rebellion. From the original intention, the cutting of the vassal was beneficial to the rule of the Han Dynasty, but it formed a fierce conflict with the self-interest of the vassal king.

This led to the subsequent rebellion, but later in the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the centralization of power was further strengthened, and then he still insisted on reducing the vassal and launched the Tweet Order, but said that the means were relatively soft and did not adopt a tit-for-tat approach.

Under such circumstances, the Tweeting Order was implemented, and the ruling foundation of the Han Dynasty was further strengthened. Mengdi also fully understood the meaning of Ji Ran at this time, that is, the strength of the Han State must reach the level that other princes to the point of fear of the country.

Only after occupying a place in this way, those nobles know what the end of their resistance is, and then quickly control the local area through officials, gradually weakening the power in the hands of these nobles, so that the local area can be completely controlled by Han.

After understanding this relationship, Meng Di didn't have the slightest hesitation in his heart, and he immediately spoke.

"Mr. Ji really hit the nail on the head. I know what to do next. The most important thing for the Han Dynasty is to develop its own strength to be strong enough. Only in this way can it remain invincible."

"Occupying a place in this way can also form a great deterrent, preventing those nobles from acting rashly and making it easier for us to do things. This is indeed an attempt to seek the country. Then, Mr. Ji thinks, what should be the most appropriate next step?"

Seeing that Meng Di adopted his opinion, Ji Ran heaved a sigh of relief, and felt a sense of relief in his heart. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was full of worries in his heart.

After all, Han is fully capable of defeating Wu with its current strength. If Meng Di is complacent and makes some wrong decisions at this time, the grand plan of unifying the world may be aborted because of this.

Now Ji Ran feels that Mengdi is still the same as when he met him back then, which made him feel that if he continues to develop like this, the unification of the world may not be impossible in the future, so he showed some gratification on his face, and said .

"Now we should send envoys to see Fuchai, the king of Wu. Regarding Mr. Sun's matter, it can be said that the lord is thirsty for talents, and then he proposed to support Wu's hegemony. Afterwards, our Han army gathered in Xincheng and made a decision Ready to go to war."

"Now the envoys of the Jin Kingdom have arrived at the camp of the Wu Army. Their target must be our Han Kingdom. Taking advantage of this opportunity, let the Wu Kingdom make their own choice. If they are willing to cease fighting, then the new city will be given to them."

"If Fu Chai chooses to go to war at this time, it will be self-destruction, but this is not good for the Han Dynasty, so I suggest that Yi Dun be the envoy. He knows Bo Chu very well, and he will definitely be able to achieve his goal after the envoy."

So Mengdi adopted a planned plan, and personally led the soldiers to the new city, and at the same time Zhao Yidun came to meet him from Huaicheng.

Ji Ran also gathered troops in Tancheng and headed to Xincheng for reconciliation. The atmosphere of the border war between Han and Wu had already descended for a while, and the military marquis immediately spied on the intelligence, saying that Zhongwu and Pi County had assembled A large number of Wu Jun.

When Yi Dun rushed to the new city, there was already a confrontation between the Wu Jun and the Han Jun, and there were casualties.

"I want you to go to Wu as an envoy. The main purpose is to persuade King Fucha of Wu to stop the war with Han. For this reason, our bottom line is to give up the new city, but there is a condition that neither side can garrison troops."

"At that time, the state of Wu can send people to take charge of the new city. What do you think about this matter? If you think it can't be done or if you have other problems, you can speak up now."

After Yi Dun heard this, he frowned and thought for a while before he could speak.

"Now our army has formed a formation, and under the leadership of our lord, our Han cavalry has become famous all over the world. Under such circumstances, it should not be a big problem to persuade Wu Wang Fucha. It is just to give up the new city. Is this the price? Some are too big?"
