After Spring and Autumn

Tian Chang secretly heaved a sigh of relief after receiving Duke Jin's call for help. This time, in order to ask for help from the Qi State, Duke Jin not only now recognized the new King of Qi, but also reiterated Zhao Yang's previous strategy of uniting against Han country.

However, after thinking about it again and again, he did not send troops immediately, but only temporarily agreed, because he was worried that if Jin sent troops at this time, Han would probably send troops, and the envoy had just left.

Zhao Wuxie had already got the news over there, which made his brows furrowed deeply, and he said with a sigh.

"The Marquis of Jin seems to have too much prejudice against us now. Under such circumstances, we should maintain the stability of Jin, vigorously develop armaments, and guard against future Han attacks."

"But the Marquis of Jin is obviously worried that he will fall into the same situation as the King of Qi, so he is the first to attack now. I really don't want to start another civil strife in Jin at this time."

After Zhang Mengtan heard this, he shook his head lightly, with a serious look on his face.

"My lord, it's not a matter of whether we think about it or not, but that the Marquis of Jin has already put this idea into action. Under such circumstances, our Zhao family and the Marquis of Jin are no longer compatible."

"Therefore, I suggest that we should take advantage of this opportunity to join forces with the Han and Wei families. Only in this way can the three of us unite and deal with Han together. Otherwise, if we lose on the battlefield in the future, the end will be worrisome."

Zhao Wuxie shook his head helplessly, he naturally understood this truth, otherwise he wouldn't be so distressed.

"If the Han Kingdom takes the opportunity to send troops to the Jin Kingdom, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to resist. It's really a troubled time now, so no one with a long-term vision understands?"

He is different from his father Zhao Yang. At least when Zhao Yang was in power in Jin, most of the time he thought about restoring the hegemony of Jin. He had a public heart in his heart, but what Zhao Wuxie considered was the survival of Zhao .

So after thinking over and over again, he finally made a decision, stood up directly, and ordered.

"Immediately prepare troops and horses for the expedition, and at the same time send people to notify the Han family and the Wei family, saying that the Marquis of Jin has made such a move. If we back down, then there is only one way, and that is to be expelled from the Jin country."

"So let them not have any chances, because we still have a powerful enemy in the future, and now the King of Han has moved to Chang'an, this purpose is naturally self-evident."

"That is to advance the Central Plains and attack our Jin State. If the Jin State cannot be kept stable at this time, then our three clans can only wait to be wiped out by the Jin State's army."

After Zhang Mengtan heard this, he got up and saluted, and said with some excitement in his voice.

"The so-called success is up to man, and God's plan is up to us. As long as we do what we need to do, we will leave to fate in the future. However, the king cannot die in our hands, so we must think of a perfect plan."

Hearing this, Zhao Wuxie frowned and thought for a while before speaking.

"We have an internal response by Duke Jin's side. We only need to operate it a little bit, then we can achieve our goal. You can arrange this matter."

As a counselor, Zhang Mengtan is not optimistic about the current situation at all. The Han State is too powerful now. Even if it is the princes of the world, they may not be able to win if they work together, let alone the Jin State alone.

But as Zhao Wuxie's retainer, he also knew that it was time to test his loyalty, so he still tried his best to plan, trying to find a glimmer of life out of such chaos.

Then within the Jin State, the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei jointly sent troops to attack Jin Chugong. After receiving the news, Jin Chugong was shocked and immediately fled with his family members, preparing to leave Jin State for Qi State.

He just fell ill in the middle of the walk, and died of illness on the road within a few days. After the news came out, Zhao Wuxie also breathed a sigh of relief, so the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei jointly elected Ji Liu, the son of the Duke of Jin, as Emperor Shi He was called Duke You of Jin.

Although this Duke You of Jin said that he became the Marquis of Jin, he was terrified in his heart, so a very strange scene appeared in the state of Jin, that was the first thing that this freshly baked Marquis of Jin did after boarding the plane.

Actually, they rushed to visit the ancestors of the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei respectively. The rituals of monarchs and ministers were completely reversed, and the power of Jin fell into the hands of these three families, so they each trained soldiers and horses to strengthen the city within their own wind.

At the same time, they sent envoys to Qi State, the conditions were the same, they recognized each other's status, and joined forces to deal with Han State. Here, Tian Chang was discussing with other vassal states about sending troops, but this happened.

He had no choice but to agree, so Zhao Wuxie met with other princes in Weiguo and made a covenant, agreeing to advance and retreat together in the future. What they are most worried about is that Han will send troops now, so they must be prepared in advance.

But at this time, Meng Di had no such idea at all. If he wanted to send troops, he had to wait until Fan Li had the results. During this period of time, he began to summon local officials to understand the situation, and at the same time, he built water conservancy projects and trained soldiers in the local area.

The most important of these is the management of the Yellow River. Although it cannot be completely eradicated, at least many canals must be trimmed for flood discharge. After all, there are many mountains in the Guanzhong area.

Flood hazards have always existed. The local people were very active when they learned that the government would build canals to prevent floods. After all, this kind of thing is closely related to their wealth and life, not to mention that the government also pays for it.

Under such circumstances, people's hearts quickly stabilized. Even if some unscrupulous nobles wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to spread rumors to cause some trouble, they all failed without exception.

All these efforts were rewarded very quickly. In the next autumn, there was a heavy rain in Guanzhong. Because many canals and reservoirs had just been built, many people were spared, and they were in some critical locations.

The local government has delineated the flood discharge area and evacuated the people. Although some people unfortunately encountered floods and many people died, compared with previous years, the situation has improved a lot.

The local people of the Qin State were also grateful to the government, which led to a situation where the number of people joining the army skyrocketed.

In a short period of time, nearly 20 soldiers were recruited in the Guanzhong area, of which only [-] were trained as cavalry, and the rest were transformed into local soldiers on the spot to maintain local law and order, and the treatment was similar to that of Han soldiers are the same.
