After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 372
When Tian Qi returned to the mansion, Bao Mu had already been waiting for a long time, and he asked with some dissatisfaction on his face.

"My motherland came here, but for some reason, he came late? Could it be that some major event happened?"

Tian Qi was very dissatisfied when he heard such a tone when he came up, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he immediately explained.

"Recently, the people who went to the country of Yan as an envoy have returned, saying that the country of Yan has no intention of joining forces with the country of Qi. If this is the case, then we can directly send troops to the country of Yan. However, at this time, I am a little worried. the interior of the country."

"Compared to what Bao Zi has already seen, Qi Hou seems to be quite sad about taking back the monarchy. In fact, the old man is already old. Even if he returns the power to the monarch, there is nothing to say about it. It's just that Qi's current domestic and foreign troubles."

"However, Marquis Qi sometimes does things too hastily. Right now, the old man wants to lead troops to conquer the Yan Kingdom. After thinking about it, he thinks that he can only ask Bao Zi to preside over the government affairs. Only in this way, the old man can go out with peace of mind."

Bao Mu's eyes lit up when he heard this. Anyway, Tian Qi's performance made him quite satisfied. After all, the two families used to run the country side by side, but now Qihou has acted aggressively. up.

This has already made Bao Mu feel very dissatisfied. Now that Tian Qi is going out to let him take charge of the government of Qi, this is also sending a signal, because according to the current rules of power inheritance in the vassal states.

If Tian Qi passed away, then the position of Prime Minister of Qi State would fall into his hands. If so, then Bao Mu's wish would be fulfilled one day. afford it.

After he figured this out, Bao Mu immediately showed a look of admiration on his face, and said with his hands clasped.

"Xiangguo's painstaking efforts to plan for Qi State really impress me. Please rest assured that Xiangguo will do his best to maintain the situation of Qi State. Before Xiangguo returns to Linzi, nothing major will happen to Qi State."

Afterwards, the two discussed the next details, and then had a banquet together, in a happy and harmonious situation.

After Bao Mu left, Tian Qi's face quickly darkened, and he said softly.

"Bao Mu spoke aggressively when he first came, but when he heard that my father said that he would entrust the government to him, his expression changed obviously. It seems that he has been coveting the position of prime minister for a long time."

"Being a father has already planted the root of disaster between the two of you, and I will leave the rest of the work to you, but you must pay attention to concealment when doing things, and don't leave any excuses, so that all previous efforts will be wasted."

After Tian Chang heard this, he nodded heavily, with an excited expression on his face. He knew very well in his heart that as long as Bao Mu was killed, Tian Chang would be the one who would take over the position of Xiangguo after his father died.

This completes the alternation of power between father and son, and can even continue the power in this way. From then on, their Tian family will no longer be restricted by the monarchy, and they can even replace it.

Zheng Guochen County.

A group of people were rushing towards the city of Chen County, and the person in the car was Ziyao's retainer Xu Xia. At this moment, his face was also full of depression, and he was thinking in his heart, how to make this time Mission accomplished.

There was nothing wrong with the two-handed preparations made before, but the fault was that both preparations had achieved the intended purpose. Han had already agreed to withdraw troops, but at this time, Zhao Yang couldn't wait to lead the troops.

Originally, this was a good thing, but due to time conflicts, Chen County, which is now occupied by the Han army, refused to retreat, and Zheng Guo did not want to offend Han to death at this time, so he was sent here to persuade the Han army. , took this opportunity to withdraw from the state of Zheng.

But this matter is not so easy to handle. The purpose of the Han army staying in Chen County is very clear, it is for the population. If Zhao Yang sends troops later, then there is a lot of room for relaxation.

But now that Jin's army has entered Zheng's territory, Xu Xia felt that it would be unrealistic to ask Han to retreat directly, because since the rise of the Marquis of Han, he has always done things unexpectedly.

Under such circumstances, he was not fully sure that he could persuade the other party. It was in this conflicted mood that he felt that he was under the city of Chen County, and after revealing his identity, he was led into the city by soldiers.

Meng Di met Xu Xia in person, but before he could speak, he was the first to attack him.

"Your envoy came here this time for the purpose of retreating the troops, right? Since the king has agreed to this matter, he will definitely do it, and Zheng Guo also agreed to it before, willing to let the king take away [-] households."

"But I don't know why when we are recruiting people, why do the people of Jin suddenly feel Zheng Guo? Could it be that what Zheng Guo used before was to delay the army? The purpose is to drag our Han army here?"

"If this is the case, then the king will not believe in evil, and we will fight here to see whether the people of Jin are stronger, or the cavalry of our Han is better. Your envoy, you might as well take my words back. Others Needless to say.”

As soon as Xu Xia heard this, he knew that things were going to be bad, so he quickly saluted and opened his mouth to explain.

"Hanhou, please don't be offended. We, Zheng Guo, have no intention of fighting against Han Guo. Before, we withdrew from Chen County with full sincerity. After all, facing the army of South Korea, Zheng Guo also has sympathy in our hearts, so this is why At the same time, send people to Jin to ask for help."

"Originally, I thought that it would take a long time to go back and forth. The main purpose was to save Zheng Guo from the flames of war. I didn't have other thoughts. I also invited Han Hou Mingjian. The main purpose of coming here today is to reiterate the withdrawal Things."

"If the Han State can lead its troops back at this time, it can also avoid the two countries fighting each other. This is not the original intention of the Zheng State. Zhao Jianzi is now sending troops in such a hurry in order to maintain the hegemony of the Jin State. This is also the reason. Unexpected."

"If I, Zheng Guo, really wanted to deceive, how could I easily give up such an important city like Chen County? So all of this was caused by a misunderstanding. Once, my lord specially sent me here to explain this matter."

After Mengdi heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, his face showed a look of contemplation, and the whole room became very silent for a while, Xu Xia's face was also very ugly at this time, and he couldn't help but look up. .
