1245. Grace and Fortune
"Your Majesty, in the fight against the Huns, I still need Donghu's help very much!" Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"Therefore, we need to use money to make amends to Donghu, so that they can re-establish an alliance with us and re-establish friendship!" Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
In Guan Zhong's strategic thinking, the opponents of Qi were Jin, Qin, and the Xiongnu were a very powerful enemy, although Donghu was now allied with the Xiongnu, but their alliance was not very strong.
On the contrary, the alliance between Qi and Donghu was stronger, because Donghu also knew that the Xiongnu wanted to annex them, and Qi was a country threatened by the Xiongnu for Donghu.
On the contrary, there is a feeling of sympathy, and the Xiongnu have a purpose in helping Donghu, because it is very likely to use the Tao to enter Donghu and include Donghu in their territory.
Qi Xiaobai looked at the ministers again: "Do you have any other opinions?" If there are other opinions to speak up, it's fine! ”
"I will listen carefully to your opinions, and if you do, I will definitely reward you heavily!" Qi Xiaobai looked at everyone and said.
At this time, Tian Ji stood up, looked at Qi Xiaobai and said: "Your Majesty, I also very much agree with Zhongjun's strategy, at present, we want to conclude an alliance with Donghu, not become an enemy!" ”
"Our annexation of the Bohai Sea has made Donghu feel a certain threat, and now that our army has entered Donghu, they must have a sense of resistance to us!"
"Although there is conflict, although they have a short-term alliance with the Xiongnu, it cannot last long, on the other hand, Donghu and us have a great strategic goal!"
"We have a common enemy!"
"What we have to do now is to eliminate Donghu's resistance to us, and the best way is to give them gold and silver treasures!" Tian Ji looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"Gold and silver treasures are just some useless things for our Qi country, and if you give them to the Xiongnu, you can eliminate their mustard and conclude an alliance with them again, which is a very good deal!" Tian Ji looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
Qi Xiaobai nodded and said, and finally Qi Xiaobai adopted Guan Zhong's opinion, and he also believed that the most important thing for Qi to eliminate now was the Jin State, the Qin State, and the Chu State to complete the unification of Kyushu, and then to deal with the Xiongnu and Donghu in the grassland.
And what to do before unifying Kyushu is to guard against the powerful Huns, and the best way to prevent the Huns is to unite with Donghu, after all, Donghu borders on a large area with the Huns, and if an alliance is concluded with Donghu to confront the Xiongnu, this is a great reduction in military spending.
If Qi wants to contend with the Xiongnu and Donghu, I am afraid that by that time, the pressure on Qi will be very great, and it will not be able to mobilize troops to attack Jin, Qin, Chu, and other countries.
Therefore, Donghu must be allied, but because of the contradictions in the Bohai State, there was a freezing point between Qi and Donghu, but there is no hatred between the so-called countries, and there are eternal interests.
When both sides have certain interests, this freezing point can be lowered, and enthusiasm should still be there.
As long as one party is willing to give up some sesame interests, the freezing points of both sides can melt and reconcile.
And Qi is the one who gives up interests, of course, this is the premise that Qi has obtained huge benefits, Qi annexed Bohai, although Bohai is a chicken help, but get, that is useful.
The state of Qi got the population of the Bohai Sea, the wasteland of the Bohai Sea, and the powerful cavalry of the Bohai Sea.
The cavalry of the nomads is far more powerful than the cavalry of Kyushu, after all, their people live on horseback, and they are born to ride horses without training.
This is the most basic way of life of nomads. tower
If you can't ride a horse when you're young, then you don't deserve to be called a nomad and not to be added to the nomad.
At this time, Qi Jie got Qi Xiaobai's will, and then Feng Chen, who was beside Qi Jie, looked at Qi Jie: "Wang, what did Your Majesty say?" ”
"Your Majesty means that I will send gold, silver and jewelry to Donghu and rebuild friendship with Donghu!" Qi Jie said lightly.
After hearing Qi Jie's words, Feng Tan smiled: "It seems that the main target of those people in the court is still the Central Plains!" ”
"But the Qi State is already known as an empire, if you don't occupy Kyushu, what kind of empire is this?"
"The empire of Kyushu in the past dynasties, the most basic territory, that is to get all the territory of Kyushu!" Feng Tan looked at Qi Jie and said.
"Feng Chen, go prepare something, I'm going to meet this Donghu King!" Qi Jie looked at Feng Tan and said.
"Your Majesty, is it dangerous for you to go alone?" Feng Tan looked at Qi Jie and said.
Qi Jie waved his hand and said: "We want to conclude an alliance with Donghu, which requires a lot of sincerity, and I will go, which can just show the sincerity of our Qi country!" ”
Feng Tan nodded, he didn't say anything, he saw Qi Jie's decision, since Qi Jiu had already decided, he couldn't stop it, and as Qi Jiu said, he could show their sincerity when he went.
Qi Jie chose to meet the king of Donghu in person, of course, this was also to allow Qi to re-conclude an alliance with Donghu.
Before Qi Jie went to the capital of Donghu, Qi wrote a letter to the king of Donghu, telling Qi Jie to go to meet him, hoping that the two sides would withdraw their troops and make a truce.
The state of Qi withdrew from the territory of Donghu, and Donghu regained control of Donghu's territory, while the Xiongnu stationed on the border of Donghu were uncomfortable.
They had already made preparations to enter Donghu, because they did think about taking advantage of the situation to annex Donghu, but they did not expect that the two sides would not fight.
This is not fighting, you are entering Donghu, this is aggression, Donghu will go to war with you.
The situation is uncertain now, and if it is easy to go to war, it is easy to fall into a crisis.
At this time, he was in the base camp of the Xiongnu 'Hala and Lin'.
At this time, Xiongnu Shan Yu 'Fengde Shan Yu' was sitting on his throne, watching the report of his subordinates.
The most powerful leader of the Huns, Mao Dun died the year before because of the wind and cold, and he was succeeded by a man named Mao Dun, who was not the son of Mao Dun, but Mao Dun's own brother.
Of course, Fengde can succeed to the throne, of course, after an iron-blooded struggle, and the struggle for power will always be indispensable.
Generally, it is the sons who inherit the throne, but Feng De deprived them of the inheritance position on the grounds that Maodun's sons were incompetent, and he became the new Shan Yu of the Xiongnu.
The strategic goal of Maudun is to expand eastward, annex Donghu, Bohai, Goguryeo, and then go south, while Fengde is the opposite of Maudun, he is expanding westward, because he knows that the forces in the east are too strong, and they should be weak first and then strong.
