After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 377

Obviously, the large bows and crossbows on the top of the city can shoot a long distance. When the Jin people built these catapults, they didn't react much. They just waited until everything was ready.

Before letting them see hope and then extinguish it again, Zhao Yang shook his head lightly after seeing it, and now he is also a little regretful in his heart. He hastily set out to fight until now, not only did he not have some effective means to suppress the opponent.

Instead, he was caught off guard by the opponent's endless means. Just when Zhao Yang was thinking about how to attack the city next, You Liang came in a hurry, his face became very ugly, and he said after meeting.

"My lord, something happened. Qi State took this opportunity to directly send troops to Yan State. It has already captured Cangzhou and is heading towards Hejian. Qi State's envoy has arrived in Xintian, asking Jin State to send troops to rescue."

When Zhao Yang heard this, his face immediately turned dark. Suddenly, he realized something, and turned his head to look at the top of the city.

"I understand. There must be a private agreement between Qi and South Korea. That's why Mengdi will stay in Chen County all the time. The purpose is obviously to drag our army here."

"But you have also seen the current situation. There are endless means of attacking the opponent. If we retreat without fighting, the prestige we have built up with great difficulty may be destroyed once again."

"Such scheming and methods are really amazing. No matter what, we must continue to attack Chen County, otherwise we will withdraw our troops and there is no way to explain to Marquis Lu."

At this time, Youliang showed a very anxious look on his face, and he said immediately after thinking about it.

"The State of Zheng is taking this opportunity to ask for help from the State of Jin to express their position. And before that, they have sent envoys to see Mengdi. There may be some private plans between the two countries."

"Things have come to this point, why don't we call the people of Zheng Guo in front of us and ask them face to face. Since then, Jin is not to blame. If the people of Zheng Guo have a way to make the Han country retreat, it would be great."

"Now Yan State is the most important ally of Jin State, and Yan State is still a place to raise horses. The reason why Qi State puts its attention on Yan State is probably to train cavalry."

"Because since Tian Xizi took charge of the government of Qi State, he began to encourage the people of Qi State to ride horses. This is clearly because he saw the sharpness of Han State cavalry, so he wanted to take this opportunity to train a large number of surprise soldiers. If Qi State's plan is successful if."

"In the future, once Han and Qi join forces, our Jin will become very dangerous, so at this time we must not let Qi take too much territory, otherwise, once Qi becomes strong in the future, it will be a big enemy ah."

How could Zhao Yang not understand this truth, otherwise he would not have proposed that in order to deal with Han, the strategy of Qi should be weakened first. Although Youliang said that there is some truth, Zhao Yang still decided not to follow him. Do what you say.

After careful consideration for a while, Zhao Yang finally had an idea in his mind, and then he spoke.

"No matter what the Zheng people do, this is a way for a small country to protect itself. As a big country, our Jin country should not be too cautious about certain things, otherwise it will make other princes and states alienated from their virtues."

"These vassal states are dependent on the strong, so it is not a crime to contact the Han State in private and ask them to withdraw their troops. How about this, you go and invite the Lord of the Jin Dynasty, Yao, and send someone to Chen County among."

"Now that we have reached this point, no matter what, we must ensure that the Han State withdraws from the Zheng State. This is more beneficial to both of us. It must be the same idea that Mengdi is playing now. We can temporarily strike peace with the Han State. .”

"Besides, the main force of Yan State is placed in the border area to guard against foreigners. Now that Qi State's army has passed Cangzhou, I am afraid that it will be able to take Hejian in a short time. As soon as the matter here is over, we will immediately take The soldiers went to Linyi."

"Since the Kingdom of Yan is asking us for help now, we must keep the situation intact, and make an agreement with the Kingdom of Yan that we, the Kingdom of Jin, can be stationed temporarily until the end of the truce with the Kingdom of Han."

"At that time, we will be able to directly enter the Qi State through here. Before that, we still need to solve the problem of the Wei State. This Kuai Kui is really a little ignorant, and he is just ridiculous. Has he forgotten how to get to the Wei State now? The position of Hou."

Speaking of Kuai Feed, You Conscience felt a little speechless. When he was in Jin State, he behaved fairly normally. Although he was a bit greedy and lustful, but to put it bluntly, normal men have this hobby.

But I didn't expect this guy to become a bit smug after he became the Marquis of Wei. He spent all day drinking and having fun, and completely handed over the government affairs to Prince Ji, and this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

He actually said in front of the envoy of the Jin State that he was willing to go to the Jin State as a hostage, but because his father did not agree, so he could not make it. His colleague Prince Ji also said that if he became the Marquis of Wei in the future, he would definitely be good-neighborly and friendly with the Jin State .

Youliang naturally wouldn't believe such nonsense, so he was silent for a while, and then said.

"Nowadays, because of our interference, the attitude of the people of the Wei Kingdom toward us has changed drastically, and the current Marquis of Wei is doing things that are extremely absurd, causing the people of the Wei Kingdom to complain. Under such circumstances, we have no choice but to send troops to expel the Marquis of Wei."

"Let the Wei people re-establish a new monarch, so as to ease the relationship between us and the Wei country, and try not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Wei country. Only in this way can the alliance between the Jin country and the Wei country be more stable. "

Zhao Yang also did not expect that Kuai Feed would be so stupid, and then he let out a sigh of relief and said helplessly.

"Nowadays, the vassal states no longer follow the rituals of Zhou. They just talk about it when they talk, and they can't bear to look at their private behavior. If things go on like this, I am afraid that these vassal states will not put our Jin country's hegemony on the table. in the eyes."

In fact, now Zhao Yang has sensed the arrival of change, which is why he carried out reforms within the Jin State. It is just a long-standing habit that makes him attach great importance to the Jin State's hegemony.

But now the situation in the whole world has a feeling of disintegration. The internal turmoil in Qi is endless, and the same is true in Qin State. Such things are also happening in Chu State today. It seems that the whole situation is heading towards the unknown.
