After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 80 Change Your Mind
Under the moonlight, the boat undulates gently with the waves.

Regarding Guoyuan's words, Uncle Wang just snorted softly: "What's the use of telling this old man? I still hope that my uncle can save your life."

Suddenly, I saw a small boat approaching from a distance, and a man dressed as a fisherman boarded the boat, walked up to Uncle Wang and said in a low voice, "Master Han has sent news that Tian Chang is going to take people to search around, let us Avoid it first."

Looking back at Guoyuan, Uncle Wang frowned, and then ordered the big boat to move forward slowly.

Seeing the action of the big ship, Kunihara guessed what should have happened, so he asked, "But what did Tian Chang do?"

Uncle Wang ignored it and went directly into the cabin.

In Langya city.

Liu Xiatuo entered the room: "Master, the news has been sent out, what should we do next?"

Meng Di looked at the night outside the window, with a meaningful smile on his face: "If you come, you will be safe. I will find a way to get the words out of Tian Chang's mouth, and find out the cause of father-in-law's death."

On one side, Su'er had a worried look on her face: "My husband, if you put everyone in danger for my father's sake, I'd be very unbearable."

Hearing what she said, Mengdi patted the back of his hand lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, but there is one thing I want to ask clearly. If the death of father-in-law is really related to Tian, ​​what do you want me to do?"

Su'er's face changed color slightly, she had been thinking about this matter for the past two days, thinking that before her father died, she would secretly leave Qi State and never come back again.

Now that I think about it, this is quite strange, probably because my father knew who the person who attacked him was, so he ordered him to do so.

Tian Rangju would rather die than tell the truth. How could Su'er not understand that she just didn't want Tian's family to fall into civil strife.

Now being asked by Mengdi, she hesitated for a moment before she said: "If it was really Tian's doing, then I will cut off all ties with them, but let the husband make the decision."

This answer is not surprising. If Tian Rangju didn't know, he wouldn't let his daughter escape from Qi State. It seems that Su'er also understood what Tian Rangju meant.

Meng Di is also considering the pros and cons. Tian's fief is in Gaotang, not far from Yan State. If he wants to get business from Tian's hands, then he needs to cooperate with Tian.

It's just that Su'er is someone close to her, and Meng Di doesn't want to deceive her, so after thinking about it, she said this.

"The Tian clan in Qi State is not weak now. In order to obtain the business route leading to the Yan Kingdom, I have to cooperate with the Tian clan. The main reason is that our power is too weak now, so we have to make compromises. As for the future, I will give you an explanation."

Su'er is not a person who doesn't understand anything. She rushed from Gumi City to Mengyi, and when she came up, it was a battle to break the city, which naturally touched her heart.

She knew very well that if Mengdi wanted to stand firm, he needed to make himself stronger and stronger.

But Su'er didn't expect him to make such a promise to herself, and she was very moved in her heart: "Husband, you can do what you have to do, don't consider my feelings. The current situation is chaotic. The most important thing is to find a place for everyone to settle down."

Seeing Su'er's understanding of righteousness, Meng Di shook her hand vigorously.

At this time Su'er frowned and asked.

"Then what about the current matter? Now that we are trapped in Langya City, will Tian Chang attack us?"

"Even if Tian Chang has this idea, I will make him change his mind. What these people want is actual benefits. Tian Chang is a smart person, and he will not take unnecessary risks." Meng Di said confidently.

Now the Tian clan is very powerful in the Qi country, and the only thing that hinders them is the Guogao clan's control of the government. Now he can more or less guess Tian Chang's intentions, nothing more than wanting to make Tian clan go further.

But in Meng Di's view, it is not a good idea to use "Sima Fa" to please Gao, so after meeting with Tian Chang, he has been thinking about this matter, and now he has some ideas.

At present, we are waiting for Tian Chang to make a choice, and then it will be Mengdi's chance. He has basically confirmed that Tian Rangju's death is related to Tian's, so he needs to get enough bargaining chips, so that he can continue to cooperate with Tian's .

Because his goal is the war horse, the only choice at the moment is the country of Yan, but the country of Lu does not border the country of Yan, and if he wants to successfully open a business road, he can only cooperate with the Tian family.

Another point is that because of the location of Mengyi, in fact, Qi State and Lu State are countries of in-laws, but because Lu State later supported Gongzi Jiu and Gongzi Xiaobai to compete for the throne of Qi King, the Qilu Qianshi War broke out. Duke Zhuang was defeated.

Then the son Xiaobai ascended the throne and became the famous Duke Huan of Qi, and then the Battle of Qi and Lu Changshao broke out. Duke Zhuang of Lu adopted Cao GUI's words and waited for work with ease. The Qi army beat drums to attack twice, but Duke Zhuang of Lu refused to fight.

On the third occasion, Duke Zhuang of Lu personally beat the drums to cheer for the Lu army and defeated the Qi army.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Duke Huan of Qi joined forces with the State of Song to attack the State of Lu again, and the State of Lu defeated the Qi army again in Chengqiu. Since then, the two countries have entered a relatively peaceful period, and the State of Lu also sent troops to follow Qi Duke Huan fought for hegemony in the world.

When Duke Qing of Qi led troops to attack Lu, the State of Lu asked for help from the State of Jin, defeated the Qi army again in the land of Qi, and almost captured Duke Qing of Qi alive.

Next, there was no war between Qi and Lu. Although there was no war again, small-scale frictions continued. Although the war between Qi and Lu has never been a big victory.

Judging from the outcome of the two Qi-Lu battles, the main reason is that Qi State underestimated the enemy, allowing Lu State to seize the opportunity.

However, in terms of strength, Qi State is much stronger than Lu State. For his own safety, Meng Di still needs to maintain a certain good relationship with Qi State, at least to leave him enough time to develop.

Now in Lu State, Sanhuan’s power is weakened and the youngest son is in power, only Zhongsun Heji, the head of the Meng family, is supporting the scene, and Yanghu is already in dire straits, and now Gongshan Buxuan is dead, and there is no one to rule it. Lu State can say It is internal and external troubles.

At this time, if another war breaks out between Qi and Lu, the outcome may be unpredictable.

In this case, Mengdi must try his best to make friends with Qi State, and try to make Mengyi's loss as small as possible.

At this time, Tian Chang was also pacing back and forth in the room. During the banquet just now, Meng Di's proposal did not express his opinion on the spot, because he needed to think about it.
