Dead.

The lights in Xiangguotang's study are still on.

Tian Dan sat behind the bookcase, holding a pen to review the folds, and the maidservant was making tea and serving on the side.

Tian Bang sat behind the desk on the left, put down the file in his hand, waved the maidservant back, looked at Tian Dan, and said seriously: "Father, do you really plan to send troops to defend the country?"

Tian Dan had just finished approving a notebook, moved his wrist that was a little sore, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Tian Bang, and said noncommittally: "What do you think?"

Tian Bang thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Wei Guo has always been a piece of fat on the lips of Wei State, and it is regarded as a forbidden body by the King of Wei, and attacking Wei Guo is almost equivalent to taking food from the tiger's mouth! Therefore, in addition to taking into account the actions of all the surrounding countries and trying to win over as much as possible, if you want to fight, you must win quickly! When Wei State is caught off guard, take down Wei Guo with a thunderous momentum, and then immediately take a defensive position, digest Wei Guo, win over South Korea and Chu State, and deter Yan State, so as to be invincible!"

Speaking of this, Tian Bang said with some hesitation: "It's just ...... Only in the preparation stage of this battle can we be sure to conceal the slightest information about the movement of our army and logistics from spies of other countries, otherwise once Qi and Wei start a war, we will only be afraid of the consequences...... Unpredictable!"

Tian Dan shook his head, stared at his son for a moment, and teased: "So you said a lot, you still advocate not fighting?"

Tian Bang hurriedly said: "Father, it's not that you don't know the situation of our Qi country, our Qi country is not the Qin country after Wei Ying's reform! The laws are loose, the personnel are complicated, and the big families have their own ghosts. Now other countries know that it is easy for me, I know that other countries are difficult, there are too many variables, the consequences are unpredictable, and this battle is very unwise!"

Tian Dan was unmoved, and said in a deep voice: "The reason for this battle is mine, the song is on the other, the reason for sending troops is sufficient, why should there be a conspiracy, since you should use yang to plot and suppress it with a dignified and upright momentum, since you can't hide the matter of sending troops, why should you hide it." There is no need to worry about the small size of the country, this battle, when the Wei State is isolated, win with diplomacy!"

Tian Bang's face was worried, and he still persuaded: "The great powers are conquering, they don't care about right or wrong, they only care about interests, if they are under today, Qin and Zhao are declining, how can the rest of the countries tolerate the re-emergence of our Qi country?

Tian Dan shook his head and smiled: "Why don't you understand being a father?"

Tian Bang was stunned and looked at Tian Dan for some reason.

Tian Dan said in a deep voice: "How can I not know that our Qi country can't hide its secrets, but for my father, I want to prepare for war with great fanfare, and tell the world that Qi, the former great power in the east, is back again, I want to see what the reactions of various countries will be, Bang'er, don't you understand? Qin and Zhao are both defeated, it is the opportunity for our Qi country to rise again, the focus of this war is deterrence, not about expanding the territory, about diplomacy, not about using troops!"

Tian Bang's heart moved, chewed on the meaning of Tian Dan's words, and said tentatively: "What my father means is that whether this war will be fought or not depends on the results of diplomatic feedback, but we, Qi State, should show our attitude at this time, so as to observe the reactions of various countries?"

Tian Dan bowed his head and said: "Yes, today, all countries are full of troubles, although our Qi country also has hidden worries, but after more than 20 years of cultivation, it is inevitable that other countries will be jealous and hateful. At this time, only by making our position clear can we take advantage of the situation to win over our allies, and the party will fight against differences, otherwise it will inevitably be isolated again! The Three Jin Dynasty have always been discordant, and the Wei State is often the first rat at both ends, so Han Zhao does not like it, take this opportunity, if we can further divide the Three Jin Dynasty, win over Han Zhao, appease Southern Chu, and make friends with Qin State from afar, Qi State can develop safely and steadily!"

Tian Bang finally nodded and said, "Since my father intends to blow a gust of wind in the Six Kingdoms, has this candidate been decided?"

Tian Dan's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, sighed, and said: "In the final analysis, the government of the Qi State is controlled by the big families, and the talents of the younger generation are still too scarce, at such a time, we still have to rely on our old bones, this diplomatic war is very important to our Qi country, and it must not be entrusted to non-people, so my father has decided that this time I must invite Old Man Lu out of the mountain!"

Tian Bang hesitated: "Lu Fuzi has always been used to being at ease in the East China Sea, and he regards fame and fortune as dung, is my father sure to invite him out of the mountain?"

Tian Dan was also a little uncertain, and said in a deep voice: "Although Old Man Lu is arrogant, he is still patriotic in the end, I believe he will agree!"

Tian Bang nodded and said: "Father's state affairs are heavy, and he can't leave Linzi, so Lu Fuzi will invite the child!"

Tian Dan acquiesced, put his eyes on Tian Bang's body, and suddenly said: "Bang'er is not young, it's time to let you go out to practice, this time, the Chun Shenjun of Chu State, you will contact your father!"

When Tian Bang heard this, he was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly got up and gave his hand to the order: "Yes, the child will live up to his father's trust!"

The relationship between Qi and Chu has always been good, and the country and Chu are not bordered, but I am afraid that the state of Chu is also happy to watch the excitement, Tian Bang only needs to persuade the state of Chu not to help each other, and the task will be completed, so this task is very meritorious, but it is not very difficult.

The most complicated thing is the movement of Sanjin.

Tian Dan smiled and nodded: "Okay, as for Sanjin, let Qi Yu, this kid, follow Old Man Lu out to see it!"

Tian Bang was surprised: "Is my father going to obey the will of the great priest?"

Tian Dan's eyes moved, and he said: "The matter of the Tuntian system has made Qi Yu's talent begin to show, but whether he is a piece of jade or not still needs to be investigated in many ways, so you might as well let the big priest relax first." ”

Tian Bang was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, father, the child understands!"

The wind outside the house was bleak, leaking the silence, Xiangguotang fell into a quiet atmosphere again, Tian Dan and Tian Bang each concentrated on the affairs at hand, no longer talking, in the quiet atmosphere, only heard the heat in the teapot "gurgling" against the lid of the pot.

A henchman walked into the study and knelt down on one knee to report: "Tian Xiang, Mrs. Lan sent someone back, everything went well tonight, all the assassin gangs in the northeast of the city were caught, General Qi Shao has arrived and taken over, and the assassin who was hiding in Duan Mansion was killed by the third prince of Qi, Mrs. Lan asked, are you going to see the third prince of Qi tonight?"

A smile appeared on Tian Dan's face, and he said happily: "Very good, then let Qi Yu come over to see me!"

The henchman gave up his hand and took the order: "Yes, Tian Xiang!" and hurriedly left to pass on the order.

Tian Bang watched the henchman leave, and said in surprise: "Father seems to attach great importance to Qi Yu?"
