Lu Wu, who got the credentials and the "festival" on behalf of the monarch, was not in a hurry to rush to "Meng".

In today's Eastern world, no country can ignore the existence of the Jin Kingdom, on the contrary, the vast majority of countries have to live by the face of the Jin Kingdom.

Not to mention that Lu Wu brought two "divisions" and three "brigades", just because he was the senior doctor of the Jin Kingdom, even if he didn't get enough courtesy, no one would dare to do anything humiliating.

Bringing two "divisions" and three "brigades" will make the waist stand straighter.

It is a bit difficult for this army to destroy the Qi country, but it can enter the Qi realm to wreak havoc and sweep.

If Lü Wu was reckless, it would be possible to capture Qufu, the capital of Lu State.

Because of this, Lu Wu wondered where Lu Guo had the confidence to treat himself like this.

However, considering Lu Guo's treatment of the "secretary" of the Jin State, it is really not the first time that he has behaved iron.

It was Xu Qi who was ordered to send an envoy to the Lu State, and he despised Lu Jun in some words and deeds, which caused the Lu State to be very dissatisfied.

The high-level leaders of Lu did not dare to take advantage of the situation, and adopted non-violent non-cooperation.

They inevitably slandered in private, saying that the person was too arrogant and domineering, and it would not be long before the whole clan would definitely go underground to reunite.

You can think of it as being bullied, and you don't have the strength to take revenge in action, and you use verbal curses.

Then again, it's not in the country of Heilu, they do a bit more similar things.

This also led to a very interesting phenomenon, which led to the emergence of many prophets in the Lu State during the Spring and Autumn Period.

"The matter of the southern expedition, everything is not going well." This is the news that Lu Wu learned from Zhao Wu.

Zheng Guo was beaten up by Jin Guo alone, why should he be greatly injured?

However, they were as good as if they were fine, and even showed a much more tenacious spirit than before they were violently beaten, so that their combat effectiveness was improved.

The southward Jin army drove the Zheng army out of the "slippery" and "void", and the battlefield once again moved south to the Zheng mainland.

The prince from the Zhou royal family, also known as the Duke of Shan, led the allied forces of Qi, Wei, Lu, Cao, and Di to engage the Zheng army.

Then, tragedy struck!

First, the Lu army ran headlong into the Zheng army, and the two sides set up a position to fight, but the Lu army could not defeat the Zheng army and retreated.

Later, the Wei army and the Cao army rose head-on again, and were once again defeated by the Zheng army.

Frightened, Qi Jun and Di Jun simply turned around directly.

The Song State, which was going to send troops, verbally promised to join the coalition army to attack Zheng, but when he learned that the coalition army had been defeated twice in a row, the army did not set foot outside the country at all.

Jin Jun Ji Shouman, who went south in person, didn't know whether to be depressed or a joke.

Zheng Jun has always been beaten only by the Shang Jin army.

Outcome?

The Lu army, the Wei army, and the Cao army took turns to fight, but they couldn't beat the Zheng army?

Is it because the armies of these countries are not good, or is the military capability of Shan Gong too poor?

The funniest thing is that the Qi army retreated without a fight, and it didn't look like a first-class power at all.

Jin Jun Ji Shouman saw Shan Gong like this, and really felt that Gongzi Zhou had such a master, and he couldn't jump up at all.

He found that several of his younger brothers were really not good, and decided to give a demonstration in person.

However, Zheng Jun found the traces of the Jin army, and ran without hesitating for a moment, wanting to meet the Chu army, Chen army, and Cai army who came to help.

Such a result is a matter of course in the eyes of the Jin people.

The nations that went south were a little uncomfortable.

Except for the Qi State, where the chicken thief didn't want to work for the Jin State, the rest of the countries are estimated to be self-doubting: Am I really so low?

"The Chu army threatens the back of the coalition army, and the marshal will not put the coalition army in a difficult situation." Wei Xiang said.

The main reason is that there are only two legions going south this time, and they are watching a few younger brothers behave so much, so as to avoid feeling that the risk to Shang Chu Guo, Zheng Guo, Chen Guo and Cai Guo will be a bit big.

Lu Wu said in wonder: "Last year, Chen Guo and Cai Guo guaranteed ......"

The next words, he did not say abroad.

You can't be too naïve!

Both Chen and Cai were shrouded in the shadow of the Chu State, and it was not up to them to make any promises to the Jin State whether they could do it or not.

In the final analysis, it still depends on whether the state of Chu can let the state of Jin get its wish.

After all, Chen and Cai were too close to Chu, but they were really far away from Jin.

Wei Xiang said: "I planned before, or it was useless. ”

What they were thinking about before was how to maintain the situation that Lu and Qi would fight but not fight, so that Lu Jun Heiqiu and Qi Jun Lu Huan who went out on the expedition would not withdraw their troops and return to the country.

And now, the Jin army moving south has the intention of retreating north, and it is impossible for the rest of the countries to stay there to deal with the four kingdoms of Chu, Zheng, Chen, and Cai.

They don't actually have the guts either.

"I thought that the 'Battle of Yanling' would plunge the Chu State into decline, but I didn't expect that the strength of the Chu State would be beyond expectations." Zhishuo added a sentence and said: "Competing with Chu is not an overnight battle. ”

This is also Zhigang's opinion.

First of all, Shen Gong Wuchen proposed to compete with the Chu State, which would take a long time to weaken the Chu State, and it was extremely difficult to overturn the Chu State to the ground at one time.

This is a very realistic concept.

The Jin State and the Chu State are countries of the same level, and it is impossible for them to be completely weakened after just one defeat.

Zhigang picked up Shen Gong Wuchen's "weak strategy" and began to plan, but there was no specific charter for the time being.

Wei Xiang said: "The Chu State lost nearly 100,000 troops in the first war, and more than 100,000 troops were sent before the age of one. ”

He hadn't counted the Chu army that attacked the Song State, or after the defeat of "Yanling", the Chu State still maintained a scale of more than 200,000 foreign troops.

In this way, it seems that the Jin State is a little inferior to the Chu State?

The Jin State experienced the defeat of the "Battle of Yi", and it took several years to recover its breath.

The state of Chu has just experienced a major defeat, and can it still maintain an army of 200,000 to fight abroad?

Even if the 200,000 troops are uneven, the fact that they can sustain a long-term campaign of 200,000 is very revealing.

It seems that the national strength of Chu is very strong!

In fact, the national strength of the State of Chu is quite strong, but it is difficult for the monarchs and ministers to work together.

This trip has nothing to do with Zhishuo, and he has no burden in his heart, so he said casually: "In this way, things will be easier." ”

Don't worry about the withdrawal of Lu Jun and Qi Jun from the south because of domestic affairs?

The rest is the question of the ownership of the Ju country.

Lu Wu knew that Zhishuo was very smart, even too smart.

The development of the situation in the south is one thing.

What their mission is another matter.

Before we get new instructions at home, how can we just think about winning by lying down and not trying to get good results because we know about the situation in the south?

Lu Wu felt that Zhishuo was really smart, and it would be better not to stage something that was smart but was mistaken by being smart one day.

They continued to stop at the place of "Contempt", and cooperated with Ji Sun Xingfu and Yan Weak to perform.

From the perspective of level, Yan Weak is definitely not as good as Ji Sun Xing's father.

After all, one is the ruling party, that is, the secretary doctor; The other is just a doctor.

In such an era, level is not as good as hard power in many cases.

If the level really works, Zhou Tianzi doesn't have to entertain himself in Wangji, and many ministers will definitely be active on the international stage frequently.

To tell the truth, Zhou Tianzi's current role is also a living seal.

Only when the monarch changes in each vassal state needs to send someone to Wangji to meet him, give a gift and seal it, and obtain the approval of Zhou Tianzi.

Then when it was necessary to discuss the big gifts, Zhou Tianzi sent the minister to give Zuo meat or something.

Otherwise, who is usually willing to take care of Zhou Tianzi?

"Ju has kindness to Qi Guo, and Qi people dare not forget. The widow always explains, and he must not let the Ju country be bullied by the Lu country. Yan Wan said this in front of Ji Sun Xing's father.

Ji Sun Xing's father didn't figure out what kind of battle it was today.

He's been here for a few days.

Previously, the Jin people obviously tried their best to avoid the two groups of them from meeting.

Today, it was deliberately arranged to have a feast together.

The one that Yan Qiao talked about is called landing sound, and he is afraid that others will not know the old things of "don't forget to be in Ju".

What makes Ji Sun Xing's father more depressed is that the Qi State has ambitions for the Ju State, but this ambition is to claim to be a protector, not as obvious as the ambition of the Lu State.

In view of the fact that Lu Wu, as a messenger, had a very cold attitude towards passing by.

The deputy envoy Wei Xiang seemed polite, but every time he talked about the affairs of Ju State, he would always change the topic.

Zhishuo, who plays soy sauce, always has a faint displeasure with Lu Guo.

Ji Sun Xing's father felt that it was really too difficult, and more than once scolded the nobles who stayed behind for not doing anything.

"I have a different story. Some nobles of Ju State visited me (Lu State), saying that Qi State had many bullying places against Ju State, and the country was weak and did not dare to refuse it, so they sought refuge from me (Lu State). Ji Sun Xing's father fought back.

Yan Miao showed a ridiculous expression and asked, "Please govern clearly, who is this?" ”

Ji Sun Xing's father snorted coldly.

Do you know what it means to hear and hear?

Make friends out of nothing, do you understand?

Just see through it.

Demolish it on the spot, don't you want to bow your head and see you in the future!

What Ji Sun Xing's father is most worried about now is the attitude of the Jin Kingdom.

He had previously firmly believed that the Jin State did not want to lose the Lu State.

Now, of course, the same is the case.

It's just that on behalf of the Jin Kingdom, it was Lu Wu and Wei Xiang who came, both of whom were not very old.

The nobles left behind in the country were too contemptuous of Lü Wu and Wei Xiang.

It is difficult to say that two young people will not give some prior explanations because of their own unhappiness and disregard for the old and serious people in the country.

The more Ji Sun Xing's father pondered, the more he felt that it was very possible, on the one hand, he hated his uncle and grandson leopard even more, and on the other hand, he began to think about how to make up for it.

"If the government does not name names, it may not be convincing." Yan showed enough aggression.

Ji Sun Xing's father glanced at Yan Weak, and put on an attitude of "your level is not enough, you are too lazy to take care of it".

He paid attention to Lu Wu's face, and was puzzled to find that Lu Wu actually looked like he was looking at it with relish.

"Qi people have repeatedly given Yin Wu generous gifts. Mo is like this, Yin Wu ignores Lu Jin's feelings? The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

He also heard a lot of news.

For example, Lu Wu's delegation entered the Kingdom of Wei and Cao, and received gifts all the way.

This, of course, cannot be used to prove that Lu Wu is greedy.

Not to mention that Lu Wu is the doctor of the Jin State, just as the chief envoy of the mission, he went out to receive gifts for state exchanges, which envoy of the Jin State is not treated like this?

To put it simply, even if it is not Lu Wu, if it is the rest of the people, it will be all the way to receive gifts.

The difference is that Lu Wu has just been promoted to the title, and he is still the first in the world, and the gifts given by the nobles along the way are relatively thick.

And that's the regular operation.

Gift-giving is a way of congratulating.

Who wouldn't want to have some friendship?

There is only one conclusion that Ji Sun Xing's father can draw,

It must be that Lu Wu felt that he was scorned in the Lu country, and he was really despised, and he would inevitably have opinions.

The facts are there.

Under empathy, Ji Sun Xing's father felt that Lu Wu was already very well cultivated.

Do you want to let Lu Wu be insulted and then stand on Lu Guo's side?

I'm really thinking too much!

Ji Sun Xing's father is also a nobleman, and he knows very well that nobles are all face-saving.

Insulted and then give benefits?

No matter how weak the aristocrat is, he will not do it!

What's more, Lü Wu was a nobleman of the Jin Kingdom.

And the nobles of the Jin Kingdom have always been domineering.

In fact, the nobles of the Jin Kingdom also had domineering capital.

Who made the Jin Kingdom strong, didn't it?

Father Ji Sun Xing secretly thought to himself: "It's difficult this time! ”

Remedies or what?

Ji Sun Xing's father still wants to be faced.

Do you really want to do something remedy?

Whoever pulls the Xiang will clean it up by himself.

It is equivalent to saying that Ji Sun Xing's father knew that he should make a remedy, but he couldn't pull off that face, and it was up to Uncle Sun Leopard to do this.

After the banquet, he sent someone back to Qufu to explain the matter here clearly, and said it very thoroughly.

And in private, he asked someone to arrange it, wanting to have an intimate face-to-face with Wei Xiang, and he wanted to fight for it again.

"This matter is not up to me, the widow has made it clear that Yin Wu can be arbitrary." Wei Xiang is still polite, but there is no place to turn around.

Of course, Ji Sun Xing's father couldn't admit that Lu Guo was wrong this time, and only said that he was in a very many places, which led to negligence.

He said, "How can you abolish the public because of your own interests?" ”

Wei Xiang gave Ji Sun Xing's father a face without any expression.

Ji Sun Xing's father thoroughly understood that Lu Wu must be satisfied, otherwise not only would he not get the Ju State, but the Lu State might also suffer.

Young people, once the anger comes up, it's normal to vent your anger regardless of it, right?

On the other side, Lu Wu was meeting Yan Wan and Tian Yu.

This side of the Qi country is very good at things, and you can talk about it or something, and there is no mention of the belonging of the Ju country.

Relative to Yan's weak reserve.

Tian Yu was much more oily, showing his admiration for Lu Wu in a real or false way.

It is the kind of admiration and admiration that envy Lu Wu can rise in such a short time, and as the first in the world, the two aspects are combined.

Before leaving, Yan Xiaocai said that Lu did not enjoy the qualifications and strength of Ju's "contribution", but he did not implore Lu Wu to hand over the ownership of Ju to Qi.

Lu Wu said: "I don't like Lu country. ”

It was impossible for Yan Wan and Tian Yu not to inquire, and they must have known the treatment of Lu Wu after entering the Lu Kingdom.

Lu Wu also said: "Before the envoy, the army general has already explained, and the Ju State needs to be returned to the Lu State." ”

This time, Yan Liang and Tian Mian glanced at each other, and there was worry in their eyes.

Tian Yan asked cautiously, "Is there room for maneuver?" ”

Lu Wu frowned slightly, giving Yan Wan and Tian Yan a lot of hope, but they didn't answer, and they had an attitude of just saying that.

What kind of efforts should Qi make, or how much price to pay, and it has become an established fact to destroy the belonging of Ju to Lu State, and they need to negotiate it themselves.
