Chapter 307: Shameless !!
The reputation of the "secretary" of the hegemonic country abroad can be domineering, arrogant, and domineering, but he cannot have a reputation of friendliness.
For example, once the president of the U.S. Commonwealth is considered a good person by the whole world, the higher the domestic opposition rate.
The fact that a country's top leaders have a good reputation abroad shows that it is able to meet the requirements of other countries.
So how does this satisfy the requirements of other countries?
It is indispensable to damage the interests of the country!
Zhigang is one of the "secretaries" of the Jin Kingdom, and it is good to have a bad reputation abroad, or even to make the nations feel afraid, but he cannot have a reputation of being friendly.
Once it spreads to China, some people will inevitably wonder whether Zhi Gang has betrayed the interests of the country.
As a son, Zhishuo must have jumped up on the spot when he heard that Ji Sunshuo was going to "frame" his old father.
What a slander!
I don't want Lao Zhijia to have a good one!
Lu Wu and Wei Xiang saw Zhishuo's reaction, and to be honest, they were a little happy in their hearts.
Lu Guo gave Zhigang the title of peace ambassador, which is better than the definition of friendliness.
What are the so-called "ambassadors of peace"?
The late Zhongjun Zuo Shixie had such a reputation, which did not hinder his evaluation within the Jin Kingdom.
No matter what era it is, getting the title of "ambassador of peace" should almost always be seen in reverse.
It proves that the recipient of the title of "Ambassador of Peace" has worked hard to eliminate wars on the one hand, and on the other hand, has participated in every foreign conquest of his country.
In general, it is nothing more than being uncontrollable and heartwarming, and simply giving the title of "ambassador of peace" to disgust people.
Ji Sunshuo's face was full of confusion.
He didn't understand, he thought "friendly" was a good word, and wondered why Zhishuo's reaction was so big.
This is the problem of thinking of small countries and widows, and they do not understand the real thinking of the top leaders of big countries at all.
Ji Sunshuo, who was full of grievances, left.
He needed to report to the top level quickly, and he couldn't help but mention the coldness of the attitude of the main and deputy envoys of the Jin State, especially mentioning that the heir of the Zhi clan didn't seem to like the Lu State.
What Zhishuo doesn't like is that Lu Guo put a "friendly" hat on his father's head, not anything else.
"The army will be able to return the state of Ju to the state of Lu, but it cannot be given easily." That's what Lu Wu got from it.
Lu is a second-rate power, and has been bullied by Qi for a long time, and it needs Jin to stand up and help Lu again and again.
Qi is a first-class power, especially in terms of economic strength.
After all, Qi is a country that has dominated the country, the first country of economic reform in the Eastern world.
Under Guan Zhong's governance, the economy of Qi grew by leaps and bounds, and all the vassal states in the world followed suit.
The most serious one to learn is the Jin Kingdom, but the Jin Kingdom abandoned some plans that were not suitable for the country, picked its essence, and added its own ideas, so that the Jin Kingdom is today.
It is precisely because Jin Guo learned Qi Guo that Qi Guo always felt that Jin Guo was his imitator, that is, a younger brother.
However, in this era where status is determined by force, Qi can only use the idea of "Jin Guo is a younger brother" to secretly complacent internally, and he dare not mention it externally.
Wei Xiang already knew Han Ju's entrustment, and said: "If the Ju State returns to the Lu State, and the Qi State submits to our (the Jin State) arrangement, it will not be convinced, and one day it will attack Lu." β
"The country of Lu does not enjoy the virtue of the state of Ju, and it is just to blame." Zhishuo is obviously still unhappy with the title that Lu Guo gave his father.
Wei Xiang saw that Zhishuo had lost his judgment because of his emotions, so he just smiled and didn't say anything.
Looking at Han Ju's arrangement, it is obvious that he wants to milk Lu Guo for a wave, or does he want to aggravate the contradiction between Lu and Qi?
There are many countries east of the Jin Kingdom, the most powerful is of course the Qi State, the second-rate countries are only the Lu State, and the rest are some small countries in fragments.
For a long time, Jin Guo hoped that Lu State could balance Qi State, and he had replenished Lu State several times, and even personally helped Lu State find a field.
However, Lu Guo stood up again and again with the support of the Jin State, waiting for the Jin State to turn his attention elsewhere, and Lu Guo's waist was quickly bent down by the Qi State.
What a hell of a thing?
The high-level officials of the Jin State didn't know how to evaluate Lu Guo, but it was not good not to support Lu Guo.
Once the Qi State loses its balance, it will soon be able to eat those small countries in bits and pieces, and then it will be time to kill the Lu State together.
Jin Guo absolutely does not want to see the situation come to that point!
Maybe Lu Guo knows his "role" so fearlessly?
Or do Lu people not understand human communication?
No friendship.
Do you understand gift-giving?
If you don't understand, do you have the face to let people do things?
Rise!!!
Of course, the above is not Lu Wu's thoughts.
He stationed the army in "Tan".
And this "Tan" is not Tan State, it is a place name in Lu State.
Since it is called this name, it is very likely that the country of Tan once built a city and lived here, but later moved away.
"Tan" is currently the food town of the Shusun family.
It's just that the Jin army brought by Lu Wu has been stationed, and the Shusun clan doesn't know what they're doing, so no one came over at all.
Considering that Meng Sunmi, the head of the Shusun family, is currently leading troops to confront Qi Jun in "Meng", and Lu is a country that talks about "etiquette", it may be that no one on the "Tan" side will be equal to Lu Wu in class for a while, so no one will come, right?
In this regard, Lu Wu was not in a hurry at all.
Especially on the seventh day of their stationing, a team with generous gifts came from the Qi country, which made Lu Wu, Wei Xiang and Zhishuo, who played soy sauce, feel more relaxed.
The leader of the team from the Qi Kingdom is called Tian Yu.
And this Tian Yu is actually a side branch of Chen Guoguojun (concubine), who just came to Qi to develop.
By the time Tian Yan's generation arrived, the Tian family had lived in the Qi Kingdom for three generations.
And Chen's monarch lineage is actually quite interesting.
They branched out early, and many vassal states had clansmen from the concubine surname, and their respective development was good and bad.
After listening to Tian Yan's self-introduction, Lu Wu heard that it was the Tian family, and the first thing that came to mind was the Tian family of Dai Qi.
"Meet the doctor, the doctor, Zhimeng." Tian Yu seemed very polite.
He was smiling all the time, looking very harmless to humans and animals, and handed the gift list to Liang Xing.
"The doctor came this time to confess his sins to me, right?" Lu Wu already knew that Tian Yan was a doctor in the Qi Kingdom, and he felt a little surprised.
And that's purely the benefit of bloodlines.
Tian is a concubine surname, which is the bloodline of the king of a country, and the history of the concubine surname is somewhat long.
In addition, the surname of the concubine currently has "country".
Generally, the side branch of the king of a country who goes out to develop will be more or less courteous to the nations.
Tian Yu's face was surprised, and he said: "The country of Lu persecuted the country of Ju, and the country of Ju asked me (the state of Qi) for help, so there was a confrontation of 'Mongolia'. What sin am I? β
He wasn't wrong.
It was Lu Guo who made the first move, which scared Ju Guo.
Ju Guocai was not happy to belong to the Lu State, and ran to the Qi State for help according to the old tradition.
This "old tradition" Ju State did not do less, and was forced by the Lu State to go to the Qi State for help, and vice versa.
Ju Guo relies on the enchanting dance posture of swaying left and right, and it can meet the source left and right, and exist as a country.
Wei Xiang said: "Whether there is a crime or not, and how to deal with it, should be decided by the widow." β
For a while, Tian Yu had no fuck to say.
Zhou Tianzi can't do it.
The vassal states of the Central Plains lived in the shadow of the overlord Jin State.
Unless the State of Qi is willing to go to war with the State of Jin, what else can it do?
Lu Wu said: "What to do, it is not the words of the Lu country and the Qi country. I will go to 'Meng' to summon Ju's right master. β
The Ju State did not govern, and like the Song State, the Right Division was the chief of the hundred officials.
Tian Yu saluted and retreated silently.
As for gifts or something?
It's definitely going to stay!
"How is the Qi Guotian clan?" Lu Wu was quite curious.
Wei Xiang didn't know.
Zhishuo didn't know even more.
In other words, how much time is there until the Tian family's Daiqi?
Is the Tian family engaged in the "big fights out of the small fights" to buy people's hearts in the Qi State?
Before, Lu Wu thought that the Tian family was a family of merchants.
However, Tian Yu was a doctor, that is, a nobleman.
In such a year, you still want to do business without the status of a nobleman?
It's not that ordinary people can't do business.
However, the nobility would not do business with the non-aristocracy, and the non-aristocracy was not even qualified to talk to the nobles on an equal footing.
In this way, if you think about it a little, you can know that if you are not an aristocrat, if you can do business, it is impossible to become bigger and stronger.
Lu Wu and others stopped at "Tan" for more than half a month.
During this period, Lu Guo's side only came to Ji Sunshuo at the beginning, and no one came back later.
However, Tian Yu asked to see him many times, but it was difficult to say something meaningful.
Whether or not you can get things done is one thing.
Whether or not you show the attitude of wanting to do things is another matter.
In general, Lu Wu was very unhappy with Lu Guo's performance.
If he can make his own decisions, he will definitely not favor Lu Guo.
The problem is that Han Ju has already set the tone for LΓΌ Wu's envoy this time.
This time, they need to favor the Lu State, and even belong to the Ju State to the Lu State.
Because of Lu Guo's poor performance, Lu Wu wondered if there was any leakage in the country, which caused Lu Guo to be so fearless.
On the seventeenth day, LΓΌ Wu ordered the camp to be pulled.
He also put the army into a state of readiness for war, and crossed the border in a strong and unannounced manner.
Seeing an obviously difficult Jin army crossing the border, the nobles along the way were obviously very confused.
And the top brass of Lu State has been arguing for more than half a month.
Not a quarrel or anything.
Lu Jun's black hume is not in the country.
Ji Sun Xing's father is here, but he is tied up outside by important things, and he is not in Qufu.
When he got the news, he sent the decision on how to entertain the Jin delegation to Qufu, and it would take at least half a month to go back and forth.
In the high-level of the Lu State in Qufu, they discussed what kind of etiquette should be used to entertain Lu Wu and his party.
This is also the old tradition of Lu as the "state of etiquette".
The first thing to look at is the identity and status of the people who come from the nations, and then whether they are in a big country or a small country.
In a big country, what kind of title does the person hold which public office, who is the ancestor, which ancestor has achieved what achievements in the five generations, and what achievements have he made.
Small?
If someone from a small country comes, Lu will not be sloppy.
As a "state of etiquette", Lu is so exquisite.
What the top leaders of the Lu State are entangled with is that the mission of Lu Wu is not like an embassy at all.
Credentials were not handed in.
and did not hold the "festival".
They checked and checked, and Lu Wu, the envoy of the mission, did not have a good ancestor for five generations, and his surname was also small, and he couldn't be smaller.
Regarding whether Lu Wu is already a doctor or a lieutenant, the high-level officials of Lu already know it, and they know that Lu Wu is now the number one in the world.
It's just that Lu Guo never looks at personal force, what they care about is blood, and then the title and position of the visitor.
Wei Xiang of the Wei family has a good background.
It's just that Wei Xiang is not a real envoy!
The other Zhishuo's background and family background are better, and they are also not right.
bypassing the envoy to ceremoniously receive the deputy envoy and his entourage, the high-level officials of Lu State could not do it.
This caused them to wonder and hesitate to decide whether it should be the standard of receiving the overlord's mission or the overlord's visitor.
That is, Lu Wu didn't know that Lu Guo was struggling with which set of specifications to use for hospitality, which led to the fact that he had not been formally contacted for so long.
If he knew, he would have been made to cry and laugh.
The murderous troops left the "Tan" and marched southwest for two days and arrived at the outskirts of Qufu.
"When all the people are in armor, the battle array will pass under the city." Zhishuo suggested.
Is this still angry?
Lu Wu was also very upset by Lu Guo.
When he thought that he needed to favor Lu Guo this time, his mood became even more unhappy.
However, Wei Xiang said: "Lu is the historian of Zhou Tianzi, and he is also a state of etiquette and music. If you do this, you may go down in history. β
Except for the broken jar of the Qi State, there is really no country that will easily provoke the Lu State.
Just because Lu Guo is indeed the historian of Zhou Tianzi and is responsible for history.
If you offend Lu Guo, don't think about ending up in the annals of history.
Jin Guo helped Lu Guo so much, but he didn't do everything according to Lu Guo's wishes, which caused Jin Guo to be magnified by Lu Guo many times.
That's disgusting!
Lu Wu said: "It's just a matter of setting up a formation." β
He specially chose such a path, which had the intention of intimidating the country of Lu.
It's just that putting on an offensive posture is really excessive.
"Tomorrow all in armor." LΓΌ Wu decided to give Lu Guo another chance.
Of course, the high-level officials of the Lu State knew that Lu Wu had come to the vicinity of Qufu with his troops.
But they still didn't send anyone to contact them.
Following.
This Jin army ate on time, and the orders of the armor were conveyed layer by layer.
The first rays of sunlight in the east shone on the earth, and the Jin army, which had already packed up the camp and lined up the marching army, reflected a piece of brilliance.
Someone at the head of Qufu City found out about the situation of the Jin army and hurriedly ran to report it.
The fifth-generation sect master of the Shusun clan, Shusun Leopard, rushed to the top of the city, looked at it, and involuntarily inhaled a breath of cold air.
Outside the city, soldiers wearing iron armor and holding weapons lined up in a long line, they stood motionless, the iron armor on their bodies reflected the sunlight, making the earth seem to have an extra "galaxy".
There were chariots galloping back and forth.
From afar, I could hear the officers of the Jin army shouting something.
This scene made the people of Lu Guo who rushed to the city wall feel both confused and a little frightened.
Uncle Sun Leopard asked left and right in a trembling voice, "Is the Jin army going to fight and pray?" β
Just asking.
The people of Lu who were present took a breath of cold air.
If the Jin army prays for war, things will be a big deal!!
