Chapter 371: Confucius Who Makes People Laugh and Cry
Chapter 371 Confucius who makes people cry and laugh
Tian Chang is also decisive enough, on the sixth day of Qi Ping's accession to the throne, he sent Taishi Ziyu, oh no, now it should be called to Dafu Ziyu to envoy Lu Guo, and his younger brother Tian Ziwen to envoy Wei Guo, both of them have the same purpose, to return the land occupied by Qi State from Wei Guo and Lu State to the two countries. 【】
However, Tian Ziwen's task is the most important, because Tian Ziwen's mission to defend the country is only a superficial task. Otherwise, as Tian Ziwen, he would not have sent an envoy to defend the country, which was lower than Lu in terms of national strength and status, and the reason why Tian Ziwen sent an envoy to defend the country can be said to be incidental, and his real purpose was to use the envoy to defend the country as a cover. After solving the problem of defending the country, he secretly entered the Jin State and secretly signed an offensive and defensive mutual aid agreement with the four secretaries of the Jin State.
Although he had the ability to threaten the vassal states of Qi around him, Tian Chang could not rest assured, so he ran to Lang Evil and sent someone to invite Yang Zilu to come to Lang Evil Alliance.
Although at present, in terms of the size of the country, the number of soldiers, talents, etc., there is no doubt that the Jin State is the most powerful. But the size of the country, the actual Hangu is the largest, Eastern Chu is nominally a vassal state, but in fact, people with a little insight know that it is just to deceive the people below, how much difference is there between the land of Eastern Chu and the Han State?
As for the strength and talents, the Han Kingdom is a year ago, so the foundation has not been abundant. But strictly speaking, if the Jin State started a war against the Han State, it would undoubtedly be the defeat of the Jin State, all because the four secretaries of the Jin State pulled each other back. And Yang Zilu alone topped an army of 100,000.
So if there is a real war, the combat power of the Jin State is like an open palm, and although the hand of the Han State is a little thinner than the Jin State, he will hold it and can smash the fingers of the Jin State one by one, and it hurts. Moreover, the Han State was closer to the Qi State than the Jin State, and it was most likely to go to war against the Qi State.
At the same time, the Jin State also had four secretaries to contain each other, but the Han State was not. In the Han Kingdom, under Yang Zilu's order, the Chu State dared to fight, not to mention the Qi State, which had gone through many civil strife. And Yang Zilu likes to go to war, he is simply a war maniac. Look at how many years the Han State has only been established, and to what extent the territory of the Han State has expanded.
Even if Tian Chang and Yang Zilu had an alliance before, but that thing can't see the light, even if it can see the light, Yang Zilu is really torn up, what can he Tian Chang do Yang Zilu? So at this time, Tian Chang was really afraid that Han Guo would take him under the knife
…………
"Tian Chang wants to see me in Langxie?" Yang Zilu knocked on the table top of the wooden table in front of him and said slowly.
"Yes, the king originally wanted to come to Guangling City to see the king in person, but the civil strife had just broken out in the Qi country, and the only way to do it was to trouble the king," the envoy who came from the Qi country said respectfully. When he spoke, in order to show his respect, he lowered his head and looked at the floor to speak.
Yang Zilu groaned and did not give an immediate reply, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons. Before Yang Zilu could figure out how to reply, an old roar came from outside. Yang Zilu couldn't help frowning and glanced at Mang Gao. Although he didn't say anything, how could Mang Gao, who was a close confidant of Yang Zilu, not understand what Yang Zilu meant?
Mang Gao bowed slightly to Yang Zilu, then turned around and opened the wooden door of the palace and walked out quickly.
Without the cover of the wooden door, the sound from outside came in more clearly, and after listening carefully for a while, Yang Zilu knew who it was without waiting for the reckless report. Yang Zilu couldn't help but show a wry smile, and at the same time knew that Manggao couldn't handle this matter, and he must have come to solve the problem for himself afterwards, so it was better to go now.
Yang Zilu said to the envoy sent by Tian Chang: "I'm sorry, it seems that there are some urgent matters that the widow has to deal with. Someone came and brought the messenger down to rest, and everything was treated well."
"No" The four soldiers of the Yulin Army answered, walked in from the outside, bowed slightly to the envoy, gestured, and said, "Please come with us."
"In this case, the foreign minister has retired" The envoy heard Yang Zilu say this, although he was a little reluctant, but he still retired honestly.
Yang Zilu waved his hand and walked straight out of the palace.
The messenger followed, but four soldiers of the Feather Forest Army loyally guarded him, their wide robes covering most of his figure, making it impossible to see him. But this did not prevent the messenger from looking at what was happening outside from a narrow angle. I saw a tall old man in a gray-white wide robe roaring, his beard standing up like needles, and several soldiers of the Yulin Army stopped him helplessly.
The envoy listened carefully, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, the old man said Chinese (Mandarin), but the old man was not familiar with Chinese (Mandarin), which was too fast with the rise of the Han Kingdom, so the envoy communicated with Yang Zilu in Vietnamese.
Probably a veteran, the envoy thought so, he didn't know that this matter had a lot to do with him.
The messenger guessed wrong, this is not a veteran, he is a great Confucian, and the person who came is the famous Confucius, and it is not a good thing for Confucius to come to Yang Zilu.
"Lord, Tian Chang is disloyal and unjust, why do you still have to receive his envoys and ask the Lord to immediately send troops to Qi State, Kuang to support the justice of the world and return the world to a bright future" Confucius saw Yang Zilu and restrained a little, but his tone was still so passionate.
Yang Zilu was immediately depressed when she heard this, is your old man really ignorant of politics or Alzheimer's disease? In fact, when the news of Tian Chang's killing of Qi Jiangong reached the Han Kingdom five days ago, Confucius became excited. wrote to Yang Zilu and persuaded Yang Zilu to send troops to Qi State.
Yang Zilu naturally wouldn't agree, the current Han State was not suitable for war, so he sent Zigong and Zilu to persuade Confucius. It's just that I don't know how these two guys persuaded me, so I didn't go to the book anymore, and went directly to Daming Palace.
"Master, this matter has its own opinions, the master is old, go down and have a good rest first, the Han Kingdom still needs the master to educate talents," Yang Zilu said sincerely.
Confucius was stunned by some problems, but he was still very smart. (Nonsense, if you are not smart, you can be a master of more than 3,000 people, and you can also teach saints like Zigong, Zilu, and Zengzi to come out.) )
As soon as Confucius heard Yang Zilu's words, he knew that Yang Zilu was perfunctory, Yang Zilu did not plan to start a war with Qi State, and Confucius was in a hurry and decided to throw out today's chips in advance. "Lord, the minister has contacted Lu Sanhuan and Lu Jun, and asked them to crusade against the disloyal and unrighteous Tian Chang with the trust of the minister, plus the lord sent troops, the Han Dynasty will definitely be able to get the support of the Lu army, so that the lord's prestige will be greatly increased, and he will definitely be able to become the overlord's foundation."
Yang Zilu couldn't help but reach out and press it on his face, he really didn't know whether to say that Confucius was smart or stupid. said that he was smart, and would give Yang Zilu a lure and say that he was stupid. Does he really think that he can get Lu to send troops with a letter?
Don't forget, Tian Chang has already returned the land occupied by Qi from Lu over the years, Lu is just a small country, does he have the courage and ambition to make every inch?
That means that if Yang Zilu wants Lu to send troops, it is not impossible, after all, Han and Lu form an alliance. Second, in terms of the size of the fist, the fist of the Han State won a lot more than the Qi State. Thinking that in the heyday of the Qi State, the Duke of Qi Huan was not able to fight the Chu State so miserably, and it was both a land and a vassal. Lu Guo doesn't think that he is more powerful than Chu State, if Yang Zilu is forced to ask, Lu State will definitely send troops, but I am afraid that he will not be able to contribute, and he will have a lot of complaints about Han State.
Besides, now the Han State is just a foreign powerhouse and a middle cadre, how much manpower and material resources did the Han State consume to conquer the Chu State? As the old saying goes, three years of harvest is enough to survive a year's disaster, which means that only three years of harvest and stored grain are enough to survive a year's famine. And the war is also a disaster, what disaster? Plague of war
In addition, the Han State developed too fast, and many of the soldiers under its command were composed of surrenders and recruits, so it was needless to say that the combat effectiveness was average, and the centripetal force of the Han State was not strong. There is also the hidden danger of Dongchu and Chu State, although Dongchu Muji and Yang Zilu are husband and wife, Yang Zilu does not think that Dongchu is stable. Let's not talk about whether Mu Ji, an ambitious woman, will give birth to ideas that she shouldn't have, Shi Qi will definitely not be willing to be devoured by Yang Zilu step by step.
There is also the State of Chu, although King Chu Hui surrendered to Yang Zilu, he was just licking his wounds, if you really surrendered to him, then you would be unlucky. Although the current King of Chu Hui can't want to take revenge all the time like Gou Jian, if there is a chance to take revenge, King Chu Hui doesn't mind taking advantage of Yang Zilu's main force being contained in Qi State to send troops to Eastern Chu.
Yang Zilu shook his head, invited Confucius to the palace, and said these words to Confucius. However, Confucius was really naïve, and actually said that the state of Chu was controlled by the state of Qin, Ba, and Pu, and he would not dare to oppose the water. As for Dongchu, isn't there an army of 110,000 under the control of Han Jiading? Grain? That's even simpler, just the grain is the enemy, now it's August, and when I arrive in Qi in September, the grain in the fields of Qi is ripe, aren't you afraid that there will be no food?
Yang Zilu was speechless when she heard this, and stopped talking nonsense about Confucius. Whatever is in the Qin State is just an interest in the Han State, you really expect them to die. Han Jiading's 110,000 army? has only been mastered for less than a year, and I really count on Han Jiading, then Dongchu has already rebelled. Grain? Tian Chang can't learn from Ye Gong and set fire to food? Besides, soldiers were recruited to fight and people were recruited to transport grain, so did the grain on the Han State's own fields still be harvested?
Yang Zilu's heart moved, and he thought of a way to deal with Confucius. Yang Zilu immediately said to Confucius with a serious face: "Master's words, the widow has thought about it, and it does make sense."
"The Lord is really wise," Confucius immediately stroked his beard and smiled.
