After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 351
After dealing with Shen Baoxu, Meng Di said goodbye and left. He got on the carriage and invited Peng Ji to ride with him. It was a surprise to meet him this time. There were many things he wanted to ask clearly, so he opened his mouth asked.

"Peng Ji, after we separated, did you live with Zhao Yang? How is his life and death now?"

After hearing this, Peng Ji first sighed, and replied helplessly.

"We were indeed together at the time, but Zhao Yangsheng seemed to have other destinations. He invited me to go to the north together. He didn't say where we were going. It was just that when we were fleeing, we encountered rebels and got separated."

"Since then, I haven't heard from him again, and I don't have any foundation in Chu State, so I have been muddled all the time. Until now, there is still not much change, and I have been wasted until now."

There was some sentimental meaning in the words, Mengdi also said with a sigh at this time.

"Chu State has always respected the royal family. If you want to get ahead in Chu State, you have to have more or less contact with the royal family. I also saw this situation that day, knowing that there is no such thing as a bright future in Chu State. Choose to go away."

"It's just that I didn't expect to come to this point step by step. By the way, Peng Ji doesn't sound like a Chu person from your accent. Where is your hometown? Why did you live in Chu?"

Speaking of his life experience, Peng Ji showed some helplessness on his face, and after a moment of silence, he explained.

"To be honest with the Marquis of Han, I was originally from the Pengxi tribe in the Huashan area. Later, when Duke Wu of Qin came to power and defeated us, most of the tribe was captured and made slaves, and some of them began to disperse."

"I joined Lu Hunrong with my tribe, but because the tribe was too small, life was quite difficult. Next, I wanted to try my luck in Chu, but I didn't expect to spend so long without accomplishing anything."

Meng Di nodded slowly when he heard this. There are three foreign tribes around Qin State, Quan Rong, Yi Qu, and Lu Hun Rong. Among them, Quan Rong is not as strong as before because of fighting against Qin State all the year round, and Yi Qu has adopted A system similar to that of the Central Plains vassal states.

So now that the power is getting bigger and bigger, it has become the biggest threat to the Qin State. This made Meng Di have another idea in his mind. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't say it directly, because the time has not come yet. Instead, he comforted him.

"If this is the case, you should stay in my army. If there is a chance in the future, I can let you lead the troops back directly. Today's world is in turmoil, and anything can happen, as long as you have hope."

Peng Ji heard some other meanings from these words, but he didn't ask too much, just nodded slowly,

Afterwards, Meng Di specially called for Ji, Jing Tie and others. After meeting the old brothers, they were naturally very excited. They were all telling each other about the various encounters after the parting, and they were quite emotional for a while.

At this time, after the death of King Chu Zhao, Chen Guo immediately turned to Wu Guo, because it was also forced to do so. Zheng Guo's army has now invaded Chen Guo, and they must find a strong reinforcement to keep themselves. country is not destroyed.

Then King Wu Fuchai led troops to crusade against Zheng Guo. The Wu army was powerful and Zheng Guo had no choice but to retreat, and then turned his head to attack Cao Guo directly. Cao Guo was completely panicked under repeated attacks.

The last time Cao State asked for help from Jin State to no avail, and now they have completely fallen into despair. In desperation, they thought of Han State, which is also the most likely choice, so they hurriedly sent envoys to Han State call for help.

The reason why Cao State is in the current predicament is mainly because of a man, Gongsun Jiang, who was originally a commoner in Cao State, but he likes hunting very much and has an extraordinary memory. One day he shot a white goose.

So he took this white goose and presented it to Cao Boyang, the king of the state of Cao, because Cao Boyang also likes hunting. After getting this white goose, he was very happy. The two first shared some hunting skills and chatted very speculatively.

After coming and going, we talked about national affairs. Cao Boyang felt that Gongsun Jiang, as a commoner, talked about national affairs in a clear way, and he was obviously a talent, so he decided to reuse Gongsun Jiang.

This Gongsun Jiang is also quite eloquent. He fooled Cao Boyang into not knowing the southeast and northwest, and even proposed the strategy of Cao's hegemony. The first thing must be to expand the territory, but any of the surrounding princes of Cao is stronger than them .

The only one that is relatively more likely to win is Song State, but Song State and Cao State both follow Jin State. If you want to attack Song State, you must first pass Jin State.

Just at this time, civil strife broke out in Jin State. Together, Gongsun Jiang and Cao Boyang felt that the time had come, so they immediately abandoned Jin State and directly chose to go to war with Song State.

Zheng Guo, Wei Guo, Lu Guo, and Song Guo around Cao Guo are indeed weaker than Song Guo, but anyway, they are stronger than Cao Guo. As a result, after the two countries went to war, Song Guo won one after another, and Cao Guo was defeated. There is no power to fight back.

Later, after Mengdi led people to destroy Song State, Cao State had a chance to breathe, but Cao State basically came to an end, and left an allusion for later generations of Cao She's conspiracy. This matter is quite fantasy.

It is said that someone in the country of Cao dreamed that a group of people gathered in the ancestral temple of the country of Cao. They were discussing how to destroy the country of Cao. At this time, the founding king of the country of Cao appeared in front of everyone, begging earnestly.

It is not too late to say that the country of Cao is not yet destroyed. If you really want to do this, you can wait until a person named Gongsun Jiang appears before acting. After listening to these people, they may be moved, so So I agreed.

After the dreamer woke up, he publicized this matter, and warned his son, saying that if one day Cao Guo has a man named Gongsun Jiang who is in power, then you must leave Cao Guo immediately, otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble. Life is in danger.

Later, after Cao Boyang came to the throne, a man named Gongsun Jiang appeared and was reused. After hearing this, the son of the dreamer fled Cao State in a hurry.

Although the accuracy of this matter is difficult to verify, it also reflects one thing from the side, that is, the people of Cao Guo have no good impressions of Cao Boyang and Gongsun Jiang.
