Li Yunze, who changed into a leather robe, warmly greeted Yan Ying to drink and eat.

There is a large brazier made of copper charcoal in the room, and the heat from the burning charcoal makes the room warm like spring.

The charcoal brazier has been there here for a long time.

In contrast, in faraway Europa, savages hide in livestock sheds and hold their cattle and sheep to keep warm in winter.

Li Yunze and Yan Ying drank each other, Sun Wu accompanied him, and Shao Zhengmao was still watching singing and dancing in the palace.

Shao Zhengmao's desire to be an official is stronger than education, and now most of his time is spent in the court.

The king of Chu used his own selfishness to use the important weapon of the country." Li Yunze: The topic they talked about was naturally indispensable to the army of Chu that was close at hand, "plus it offended the nobles of Chu State, I am afraid that something bad is coming." ”

Yan Ying thought for a moment and asked, "But because of the matter of Zhang Huatai?" ”

The so-called Zhanghuatai is a palace built by the king of Chu.

According to historical records, this chapter of Huatai is as high as more than ten zhang, that is, tens of meters high, and the scale is very grand.

In terms of the productivity of this era, the price to be paid to build such a large palace is simply shocking.

The king of Chu did not pay for it himself, but blackmailed the nobles to pay for it and 'run the whole country, and it will be completed in a few years'.

He also collected a lot of beautiful women and Zhang Huatai in the light song and dance.

In order to get the favor of the king of Chu, these women ate less and endured hunger in order to have a thin waist, so Zhang Huatai was called the thin waist palace again.

In Yan Ying's view, the cost of this world's first unit is too large, which naturally caused dissatisfaction from all over the Chu State.

"It's just a trigger."

Li Yunze took the wine jue and moved towards Yan Ying, "The real reason is that the king of Chu has moved the fundamental interests of the nobles of the Chu State. ”

These words naturally aroused Yan Ying's interest: "I would like to hear about it." ”

"He's killing people." In Yan Ying's eyes before, it was Li Yunze, who was full of ferocity, and he actually showed a compassionate look: "The king of Chu killed the nobles, and also robbed other people's goods and fiefs. It's okay to do it once or twice, after all, it's a king, and it's common to kill a few unlucky people who offend you. But he did this kind of thing endlessly, killing and covering up, seizing the fiefdom of Wei Gui's father and son, robbing Xu Wei, insulting Cai Wei, and so on. ”

Li Yunze breathed a sigh of relief: "The nobles of the Chu State are all in danger, and they are afraid that they will become the next unlucky egg. In this case, the King of Chu is naturally about to be unlucky. ”

Different from the centralization of power in later generations, the countries of this era were feudal in the true sense.

Divide the land and build princes.

Zhou Tianzi didn't say it, after all, after hundreds of years, Zhou Tianzi was left with the title of righteousness, and the children of the poor family couldn't even share the two acres of thin fields in Luoyang.

Under the princes of all countries, they are all ministers and scholars.

They formed a family with one family, a family with their own fiefdoms.

It's not so much a family as a miniature country.

Each family has an army, taxes, and materials in their fiefdoms, this is the state, the difference is only in size.

And each family has its own vassals, and it also has its own territory.

There are very few land, people, and materials that really belong directly to the monarch.

If the monarch has a lot of population and materials, where will there be civil strife in Qi State, the seizure of power by the three Huans of Lu State, and the division of the three families.

The fundamental reason why the monarch is weak is the feudal system.

If someone in the courtier has made a meritorious service, he has to give others the benefits of fiefdom, and he can't do it if he doesn't seal it.

The territory that can be divided cannot be grabbed from the vassals, but can only be divided from the land owned by the king.

As time passed, the king's land became less and less, and his natural strength became weaker and weaker, and the result was that he was either divided, replaced, or destroyed

For these nobles of Chu who have soldiers, money, land, property and materials, the king of Chu has done things that go beyond the conventions and rules, and he will inevitably be counterattacked.

After explaining the ins and outs of the Chu State, Li Yunze said to Yan Ying, "This battle is won, it depends on how the Qi State wants to win, and it will be used to enhance the national prestige." Don't worry about the revenge of the king of Chu, within two years at most, the king of Chu should be replaced. ”

Yan Ying was shocked by these words.

Even he, the minister of Qi, didn't think of this!

He only thought of the expedition of the Chu army, and he was afraid that it would not last.

And when he was in the palace of Duke Lu before, when he heard Sun Wu's explanation, he only further determined that the Chu army would inevitably retreat if he could not win.

In other words, as the minister of Qi, his vision is only a few months at most.

But the people in front of him can see what the Chu State will be like a few years later.

This is not a casual nonsense, everything that was said before is reasonable, and with Yan Ying's own understanding, it is also very likely to happen.

What is the talent of the world?

That's it!

After a short shock, Yan Ying suddenly put down the wine honor, got up, and came to Li Yunze to make a big salute.

Li Yunze, who knew it, immediately asked, "Yanzi, why is this?" ”

Yan Ying solemnly stated, "Please Mr. Qi, I would like to recommend Mr. as the Minister of Qi!" ”

Sun Wu's hands were shaking.

His master really has real skills, and Yan Zi is willing to let the position of foreign minister come to invite.

There is no doubt that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this apprenticeship.

Here, Yan Ying is still persuading, "Mr. has the talent to manage the middle, and he is willing"

Li Yunze had already shook his head very simply.

"A certain person will not be a leader, or in other words, a person is not what a certain person wants."

Li Yunze said indifferently, "There is only one thing in my heart, and that is to create a school and teach students to promote the progress of the world." Yan Zi doesn't need to mention the matter of Qi country. ”

This is the minister of Qi.

Although Qi is not as good as Jin Chu, it is also the third largest country in the world.

As the minister of state, the reputation of the fief will come one after another, and no matter how many people ask for it, they can't ask for it.

Li Yunze smiled and waved his hand, and then picked up the wine, "Come, drink together." ”

Yan Ying left with regret.

It's really a pity that talents like Kong Lao Er can't be used by Qi State.

Fortunately, Yan Ying's character is good, so he will not kill those who can't get it, so as to keep the Qi country.

That's right, if you really want to destroy it if you can't do it, it will definitely not be Li Yunze who will be destroyed, but only the bad luck of Qi State.

After more than ten days of repairing, the messenger sent has returned from the king of Chu.

The meaning of the king of Chu is very simple, that is, as long as Li Yunze is handed over, then the state of Chu will withdraw its troops.

Many people have been moved by this.

I feel that handing over a poor man who is not in the stream in exchange for peace is definitely earned.

The Ji Sun clan on the side of the Kelu State is resolutely opposed, and Yan Ying here in the Qi State is also fiercely opposed.

Ji Sun's side objected, because he knew very well that if he really dared to agree to hand over people, then Kong Lao Er would definitely demolish Qufu City!

He doesn't care what others do, but the whole Jisun clan is definitely going to be unlucky, so he must be resolutely opposed.

I'd rather fight with the State of Chu than offend Kong Laoer.

As for Yan Ying's opposition here, it is much simpler.

In a word, the explanation is that since it cannot be used by the Qi State, it cannot be used by the Chu State.

Once the already powerful Chu State gets this great talent, is there still someone else's way to live in this world?

The Ji Sun clan held the power of the Lu State, and the Duke of Qi also listened to Yan Ying's words, so the debate between war and peace naturally dissipated without a trace.

After resting, the Qilu coalition army marched south, preparing to meet the superpower Chu State.

The Chu army camp is here, and there is a lot of noise.

The nobles who led the troops to battle were very dissatisfied, and they were unwilling to fight with the Qilu coalition army in this weather.

The bottom line is that it's not good.

What if you win? Can you destroy the country of Lu?

The grain and grass can still support at most half a month before the troops have to be withdrawn, what if they win the battle and occupy the Lu country?

The army retreated, and people could easily regain the lost territory.

It's a loss that is equal to a loss in vain, and I don't know when I want to take revenge.

No one wants to do thankless things, so the nobles are persuading the king of Chu to withdraw his troops, and the army is already very dissatisfied.

The response of the king of Chu was simple: "The widow doesn't want to fight now. ”

What the nobles knew, the King of Chu naturally knew.

He didn't want to fight Qilu either, because there was nothing good to gain from it.

The army came just to exert pressure, and the king of Chu believed that the people of Lu would understand the current affairs, hand over the person who wrote the book, and bring it back to Zhanghuatai to be an internal servant in the future, and just write stories for himself all day long.

But the result was a great shock to the king of Chu and the nobles of the Chu State.

The two countries of Qi and Lu very simply rejected the request of the Chu State, and even launched a large army to drive over directly.

This is a left and right bow and slapped the king of Chu in the face.

You don't want to fight?

We'll you first!

The king of Chu, who felt that his face was damaged, was furious, and summoned the generals to gather a large army to go and have a good encounter with the Qilu coalition army.

He wants to let the Qilu people know that it is unlucky to offend the overlord of the world.

A few days later, the two armies met on the left side of Shan Father's Mansion.

The harvested fields, frozen under the cold wind in winter, are very suitable for the big war on both sides.

After preparations, the two sides opened their respective military camps at the agreed time, and lined up to confront each other several miles apart.

According to the rules of this era, first send a strong man with mouth cannons to fight against each other.

Each of them said that their side is the representative of justice, and it is the meaning of God to crusade against the other side, where the righteousness lies.

After the mouth cannon with no nutrition at all, it is a real gun.

Of course, it's not a direct hedge, but a heads-up.

That's right, heads-up in the Spring and Autumn Period was very popular, and it was also the fastest way to become famous.

This kind of heads-up in front of the battle is not to fight on horseback, but to drive a chariot to shoot.

The six arts of the gentleman archery came first, and archery was the most valued in the Spring and Autumn Period.

When the warriors sent by the Chu State drove the chariot and slowly came out of the roll call, the Qilu coalition army was in an uproar.

The angry King of Chu directly sent the first marksman of the Chu State, Yang Yuji!
