After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 99 Heading to Qufu
When Meng Di heard it, his face showed a puzzled look, so he asked.

"Why do you want to go to the Jin Kingdom at this time? Fan Yang is a greedy person, and people like Zhong Xingyin, it will cost a lot to go this time, and I'm afraid they won't get any good results."

Ji Ran shook his head lightly, and said very solemnly.

"Now Jin and Lu are in an alliance. Jin has dominated for more than a hundred years, and its strength should not be underestimated. Even if it starts to decline now, within a short period of time, Jin will be the strongest country in the world today."

"My lord has analyzed the situation of the state of Jin before, and I think my lord's analysis is very reasonable. If that's the case, then why don't you make friends with Zhao Yang in advance? If he really becomes a general of the Jin state in the future, he must be right Your lord is of great help."

These words moved Meng Di's heart, but he sighed immediately.

"Although this plan is good, it may be difficult to implement. After all, our strength is too weak now. I am afraid that we are not qualified enough to make friends with the six officials of Jin like Zhao Yang."

"And Mr. Ji, you also know that I have some conflicts with Na Zhishen. I'm afraid something unexpected will happen after we arrive in Jin Kingdom."

Ji Ran smiled, and then began to analyze carefully.

"Your lord, you need to know this. From time to time, now that the lord has defeated the Qi army with the weak and the strong, the matter must have spread to the state of Jin, and this time the lord is going directly from Qufu to the state of Jin. You can ask Lu Hou to make friends with him." Jin country."

"In this way, even if Na Zhishen is dissatisfied with you as the main attacker, he will not take the risk of offending the Lu State, which is not good for the lord. Moreover, it can be accurately judged that the internal situation of the Jin State is crucial to our future. prepare for."

"Nowadays, the general situation of the world has changed. The state of Jin in the north has begun to decline, and the state of Chu in the south has fallen into a slump. Wu and Yue have already become wary of each other. If we can't grasp the situation as soon as possible, how can we stand out from the crowd?"

These words were very forward-looking, and Meng Di nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and immediately agreed.

"Mr. Ji is right. If that's the case, then I will set off for Qufu right away, and I will leave Mengyi to Mr. Zhang."

In the city of Qufu.

Yang Hu finally waited for Meng Di to come, although he came a bit late, but he was also a little relieved, because this time after Meng Di arrived in Qufu, he was the first one to come to see him, which shows that he still has some feelings for himself. awesome.

After taking his seat, Yang Hu's tone became a little dissatisfied.

"Why did Mengzi come so late? Yang has been waiting for a long time in Qufu."

Naturally, Meng Di knew that the reason why Yang Hu said this was just to blame him for not being there in time for the last summons, so he clasped his fists and immediately sighed, and then explained.

"Don't blame Yangzi. The reason why he didn't come last time was because he had obtained information in advance that the Qi army would lead the army to attack. In order to find out the Qi army's movements, he made an excuse."

Anyway, the time difference between the two events is not too far, and Yang Hu doesn't know the inside story, so Meng Di can say whatever he wants, even if Yang Hu knows about it, so what?
Anyway, there was finally an explanation, which meant that there was a step, so Yang Hu's expression eased a lot.

"That's how it is. It is said that this time Mengzi's reputation has been greatly improved. He even defeated tens of thousands of Qi troops with a mere 3000 troops. This makes Yang feel ashamed. This Qi State has never forgotten our Lu State, and often sends troops. Come on, it's really a headache."

"Now that we have Mengzi in the country of Lu, we don't have to worry about the invasion of the country of Chu. So this time, Yang suggested to Marquis Lu that Yuncheng be included in your fief. In this way, the country of Lu will There is no fear of war."

After finishing speaking, Yang Hu looked at Mengdi with burning eyes, which obviously means that besides, I have already given you the benefits, and it is up to you what to do next. If you want to win Yuncheng, you have to give it here. He made a statement.

Naturally, Meng Di could hear the implication, he said with hesitation on his face, and said helplessly.

"To tell you the truth, Meng still hopes that the Lu State will be stable. Only in this way can Meng be able to train troops with peace of mind to defend against the Qi State. If at this time, there is turmoil in the Lu State."

"At that time, the Qi State will send another large army to invade. If Meng loses domestic support, he must be alone. In this case, I am afraid that he will fail Yangzi's good intentions and the expectations of Marquis Lu."

Although he didn't say it clearly, Mengdi also expressed his meaning tactfully, that is, he didn't want to get involved in the internal strife of Lu State, but just wanted to develop his territory with peace of mind and guard the gate for Lu State.

Such an answer would not satisfy Yang Hu, he said aggressively with a look of displeasure on his face.

"Right now, the state of Lu is quite uneasy, and many people are in private contact with each other, so Yang is determined to get rid of these people for the stability of the state of Lu, and I'm afraid he will have to rely on the power of Meng Zi."

This is to force Meng Di to express his opinion, he has a look of embarrassment on his face, and after thinking about it, he raised his head.

"If someone really wants to take advantage of this opportunity to cause chaos, then Mengmou is naturally duty-bound. However, after a major battle, the troops in Mengmou's hands have been seriously damaged, so it will take some time to rest."

On the surface, Meng Di agreed, but in fact he was delaying the time, and wanted to calm Yang Hu's heart in this way, so that he could wait.

Yang Hu's face was uncertain, and he stared at Meng Di for a long time. In fact, he already believed in these words. After all, thousands of people played against tens of thousands without casualties. How could that be possible?So this statement is also impeccable.

The most important thing is that he has already received Mengdi's words. Although he does not rule out the possibility of dealing with lies, he has at least one attitude. Next, he needs to see how he acts. It will take a certain amount of time.

The air suddenly became dull, and after a while, a smile appeared on Yang Hu's face.

"When I first met Mengzi, I knew that you would become a great weapon in the future. If those disobedient people were cleaned up in the future, then you will be in charge of the government of Lu State, and we will jointly control it. Outside of the master, the country of Lu must be as solid as a rock."

These words seem to be like two people living together, Meng Di will not believe such nonsense, I am afraid that after Yang Hu has dealt with those people, he will deal with himself next, but he still said with a smile in front of him.

"If that's the case, Mengmou is also at ease, but last time Jisun sent a lot of food and grass, and then Mengmou will pay a visit to express his gratitude."
