After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 83 Returning to Linzi
The capital of Qi State, Linzi.

Guoxia frowned deeply after listening to Guoyuan's narration. He knew the Tian's actions most clearly in his heart.

At this moment, Kunihara asked.

"Father, who is Tian Rangju's death related to?"

After a moment of silence, Guo Xia finally spoke.

"Strictly speaking, this matter has something to do with the Guoguo clan, but it was the Tian clan who did it. At that time, Tian Rangju's prestige in the army was too high, and the two families would not be able to sleep if they kept him. I didn't expect Tian at this time. Shi took the initiative to come to the door."

Having said that, he sighed and glanced at his son.

"This time, the Tian family must have hidden evil intentions, but why he changed his mind later is a bit intriguing."

Kunihara couldn't figure it out.

"If you put it that way, it's really weird. Logically speaking, Tian Chang should have taken action against Han Zhan, but he didn't expect that they returned to Beijing together. Could it be that something else happened?"

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly changed.

"Could it be that Han Zhan dedicated "Sima Fa" to the Tian family?"

Regarding his son's speculation, Guoyuan felt that it might not be so, after a moment of contemplation.

"This matter is full of doubts, so don't make wild guesses. Next, just check their words and deeds, and you will know what they are planning. Since you were able to escape this time with the help of that Han Zhan, then tomorrow Thank you at the door."

Guoyuan immediately understood what his father meant, and the door-to-door thank you was just an excuse. The most important thing was to find out what the agreement between Han Zhan and the Tian family was.

In the Tian Mansion, Tian Qi frowned and paced back and forth, then the figure paused and spoke.

"That Han Zhan has some knowledge, and your consideration is not bad. In this way, you can not only understand the relationship between Guogao and Gaozhang, but also take advantage of this opportunity to let Gaozhang suffer a secret loss and get a strong one." Aid is really killing three birds with one stone."

Being praised by his father, Tian Chang's face was full of smiles.

But at this moment, Tian Qi's expression suddenly changed.

"Then you think a great talent like Han Zhan can't be used by me, what should I do?"

Tian Chang already had an answer to this in his mind, so he immediately replied.

"Now that the three Huan Huan of Lu State are already weak, Yang Hu is just a mere retainer who actually controls the government of Lu State. Now we can make friends with Mengzi first, and then we can use Yang Hu's hand to force Mengzi to be my farmer. effective."

At this time Tian Qi nodded slowly, but still reminded.

"Anything that is forewarned will stand, and if it is not forewarned, it will be abandoned. Now this Mengzi is right, we are still useful, and we can keep it for now. As long as my Tian family is in charge of the state affairs of the Qi State in the future, if this Mengzi is still not familiar with it, then he must to remove."

Then he walked to the map, pointed to the land of Lu State, and said in a somewhat excited voice.

"If we can take Lu State, then Qi State will have no more worries."

The Spring and Autumn Period has passed, and now the princes from all over the country are ready to move and continue to expand to the surrounding area. Qi State is no exception. However, when facing Lu State, the war basically has not been won, and can only slowly eat away.

Now that the Duke of Lu is in decline, Yang Hu is in control of the government, and there are many internal conflicts. It is a good time to make progress. The most important thing is the Jin State, the backer of the Lu State. Now the royal power is falling apart, and the six ministers are attacking each other. They are already a bit overwhelmed trend.

It can be said that now is the best time to fight against the Lu State, but it is not a good time for the Tian family. Tian Qi needs to use this opportunity to attack Gao Zhang, so as to lay the groundwork for the future rise of the Tian family.

Tian Chang walked behind his father with a confident smile on his face.

"Father, you don't need to worry too much. As long as you let Meng Di grow up and let them fight against each other, then our country of Qi will benefit. At that time, our Tian family will definitely be able to regain the power of Qi country."

Tian Qi agreed with his son's words, thought for a while and said.

"Since this is the case, we can agree to the conditions they put forward. As long as they trade with Yan Kingdom through our business route, it means that the financial resources are in the hands of my Tian family, and we are not afraid of them making big waves."

This so-called commercial road refers to going out from Gaotang, going down the tributary of the Futuo River, disembarking at Cangzhou, and arriving at the border of Yan State. It is not far from Wuyang, the capital of Yan State. Business way.

Because the location of Gaotang is so good, the water transportation is extremely convenient. To the west is the state of Jin, and to the north is the state of Yan.

Tian's most important source of income came from Jin. After all, Jin is now the overlord. In comparison, the business route to Yan is somewhat dispensable.

After looking away, Tian Qi said to Tian Chang again.

"In this case, you should rush to see Gao Zhang immediately, and tell the truth. If there are some things you don't know, just say that you guessed it yourself."

Tian Chang understood, saluted and then withdrew.

Meng Di was also looking at the map at this time, but he saw that it was not the business route to Yan, but he was thinking about how to deal with Qi's invasion this time.

If Qi's army sent troops from Yunyi, it would not take long to reach Mengyi, leaving little room for combat. The only thing Mengdi could rely on was the high mobility of the cavalry.

If you want to win, you can only use a strange move, but the question is what kind of method can you use to win?

It is true that the cavalry is highly mobile, but the land of Mengyi is flat and flat, which is most suitable for chariot combat, and the advantage of the cavalry is greatly reduced. If you want to win head-on, you don't even have to think about it.

At this time Liu Xiatuo came in, saluted and said.

"My lord, the prince of the country came here with a lot of gifts, saying that he wanted to thank him for his assistance at Yingzui Cliff."

Meng Di raised his head and smiled slightly.

"It seems that this door-to-door thank you is fake, but the truth is to inquire about the news. It's better to go and see what he has to say."

Although we have now reached a conclusion with Tian Chang, it is not Mengdi's habit to put all his eggs in one basket.

As soon as Guoyuan met, he saluted first.

"Thank you Brother Han for your help this time, otherwise Guomou would have died in Yingzui Cliff this time."

"Young Master Guo is being polite, but it's just a matter of convenience, not to mention the many gifts that Young Master Guo brought, Han is still making money."

Speaking of which, Mengdi led the way, took Guoyuan to the room and sat down.

At this time, the principle of Guo asked curiously.

"At first I thought it would be difficult for Brother Han to get away this time, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Han in Linzi so soon. I don't know what happened during this time. Can Brother Han tell me?"
