I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 228

Most of the fiefdoms of the Han family and the Fox family are located near the west side, or even the fiefdoms are adjacent to other countries. How could they not pay attention to the west side, and even think that other directions have little to do with them?

In the same way, the Zhi family, Wei family, Zhao family and other families will be in the same situation. Where is the core interest, which direction is more important, and other directions are probably not so much concerned.

Standing together because of interests fully reflects what is meant by "only eternal interests".

When Han Shi was still alive in Zhao Yang, although they didn't target Hu Shi much, there were actually a lot of small tricks.This is because the Zhao family and the Fox family are naturally at odds, and the Han family cooperates as an ally of the Zhao family, not because the Han family itself has such a big conflict of interest with the Fox family.

Now, there is still an irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the Zhao family and the Fox family, but the strengths of the Han family and the Zhao family are reversed, and the starting point of interest must be to focus on the Han family.

Even if the Han family will not abandon the Zhao family, they will definitely take their own interests as the starting point under actual needs. They will no longer sacrifice their own interests to meet Zhao's needs as Zhao's little followers, and become Zhao's own interests. It is time to endure the threat from the Fox family and cooperate with the Han family.

The Fox family's attitude towards Qin State is a bit cowardly. They once left Jin State, and the area of ​​their activities was close to Qin State. It is estimated that they were beaten by Qin State.

And because the Fox family has more knowledge, the Qin army beat Rong Di too hard, and Bai Zhai admired the Qin state very much. Other high-ranking families in the Jin state may not take the Qin state seriously. The mentality of the royal family.

"Qin will definitely try to go east, and it is very likely that the first wave will be extremely powerful. The more this is the case, the longer their preparation time will be, and it is impossible to launch an attack casually." Zhiyao thought.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with Han being so nervous, it's messy to be concerned.

Furthermore, the Han family is undergoing a great migration, and it is in a weak state. It will take at least two or three years to enter a stable period. Can you not be afraid of being caught suddenly?
Needless to say, the Fox family has only returned to China for a few years, and they still choose suitable locations in the northwest to quickly build a few cities, so as not to be a habit of aliens. There is not enough food. I can't afford to fight a war of attrition.

There is one thing that the families in the Jin State did not say that if the Fox family did not change their habits of alien races and the spirit of Jin people, they would never be strong.Among them, spirit is the most important!
With Han Buxin and Hu's successive statements, everyone has understood what's going on.

Without Wei Shi, this meeting is destined to be incomplete. It can only confirm some general national policies.

"With Wei Ju joining, will the Wei family focus on the west or the south?" Zhiyao actually couldn't guess.

The Wei family has a large piece of fief that they took from the Fan family in the southern part of Jin. They have been working hard to digest it, but many things can't be done with hard work, especially the Fan family has a long enough history.

It is not so easy to digest a family with a long history. The longer the history, the more deeply ingrained something is, which cannot be easily digested by the conqueror if he wants to.

Wei's current situation is that the old fiefs are making up for the consumption of the newly acquired fiefs, which makes it impossible for them to ignore other areas even if they pay more attention to the south.

Well, the Wei family also has a lot of fiefdoms in the west of the Jin Kingdom, and they rely on the output of the fiefdoms in the west to support the consumption in the south. Which side will they pay more attention to? They are probably in a state of swaying left and right.

Zhiyao noticed a phenomenon, no matter how much the Han family cared about Qin, they still did not seek help from Zhao's information channels.

It's spring and autumn, really.

In the past, the Qin State was about to attack the Jin State, and the Zhao family knew early on. The Zhao family did not inform the monarch, and never warned the Wei family. As a result, the Wei family was attacked by the Qin army and suffered heavy losses. However, the Wei family knew Mrs. Zhao received the news a long time ago and did not blame her.

Will the Wei family hate Zhao for concealing the news?Probably yes, but due to the rules of the times, it cannot be pursued.

Not to mention the Zhao family, any family would not share their own channels, just playing the routine of "what's mine is mine, what's the matter with you".

Not many things were confirmed at the meeting, not to take the initiative to initiate a national war is one, and the second is to pay close attention to the movements of Wu, Qin, Qi, Zheng and Song.

Is Chu lost?Really missed Chu!

"Chu State has been losing all the time, until the families decided that they were unable to go north, and they never thought about uniting with Chu State to attack Wu State." Zhiyao felt that this was wrong, but there was not much to say at the meeting.

After the meeting, Zhiyao approached Zhishen and said, "Why do all the families leave Chu alone?"

Zhishen showed a startled expression, and asked, "What do you mean?"

what! ?

Zhiyao was taken aback by the rhetorical question, and after a while she said: "Although Chu has been defeated repeatedly, his background is not comparable to that of Wu."

Zhishen said naturally: "That's exactly the case, so there is no need to put it aside."

In that case, Zhiyao understands.

Jin State still regards Chu State as a strong enemy, and temporarily has no conditions to find trouble with Chu State. It believes that it is a good thing for Wu State to continue to weaken Chu State, and has never thought of too deep cooperation with Chu State.

Therefore, the state of Jin does not need to trouble the state of Chu, and will not consider forming an alliance. It is even willing to cooperate with the state of Wu to beat the state of Chu when necessary.

How should I put it?

After all, the power holders of the Jin State are sober in the world, they value the rapidly rising Wu State, and they understand that the Chu State will always be a big threat.

"Wu Jun even attacked the capital of Chu State once, and Jin State still thinks Chu State is the biggest threat. Should it be said that Chu State left a deep enough impression on Jin State in the process of fighting for hegemony, or is it a kind of inertial thinking?" Yao was a little confused.

Of course, Zhiyao belongs to the type who knew the answer to history early on, and it is only natural that they understand that the threat of Chu State is greater; as long as the rest of them are not a kind of inertial thinking and combine all aspects of the strength of Chu State, they can only say that their vision is really good.

Originally, Zhiyao still wanted to unite with Chu State to target Wu State, which seems to be very inconsistent with the thinking of the mainstream class of Jin State?

In addition, Zhiyao actually did not have any good intentions in uniting with Chu State, but now it seems that the operation needs to be more cautious.

After Wei Ju returned to "Xintian", Zhishen held another meeting.

The things mentioned are a continuation of the previous meeting.

In the new meeting, the inclinations of each family became more obvious. The Han family and the Fox family...may also include the Zhao family. They are the newly formed Westward Movement faction.

It can be seen that the Wei family is swaying left and right, wanting to pay attention to the west, but also wanting to take care of the south, and the pressure is a bit high.

Of course, the Zhi family pays attention to the east, and needs to take care of the north, and also needs to pay attention to the south.

The Zhong family is assuming that they can do whatever they want. They are surrounded by various families and cannot expand outwards. At the same time, they do not have too strong personal interest entanglements.

Among the various statements, the Zhi family is undoubtedly the one who has the most say. Whether the other families are happy or not, they have to be psychologically prepared to harm their own interests when the Zhi family wants to meet Zhi's needs.

Why is it said that the "Yuan Rong" of the Jin State has a great voice?In the past, it was the right to speak brought by the official position, but now it has become the right to speak brought about by the strength of the family. The inner core has changed, but the advantages brought by the right to speak have not changed.

"My family sits and watches the dispute between Wu and Qi, and we can't let the dispute between Qi and Lu continue." Zhiyao is advising Zhishen.

Of course Zhishen accepted it completely.

Zhiyao said again: "Tian's arbitrary decision won Qi Jun's favor, Bao's powerless to contend with it; Qi Jun must die because of Bao's regicide, Qi's death should be due to Tian's plan."

The words were a bit convoluted, which made Zhishen's mind a little messed up.

The Tian family and the Bao family did not get along, and then Qi Jun trusted Tian Qi, and the Tian family wanted to set up a situation to make Qi Junyang, who had more trust in himself, live or die?

According to common sense, shouldn't the Tian family guarantee the safety of Qi Junyang, who trusts and loves her family?
After all, Qi Junyang's life is good for Tian, ​​right?
Zhishen's judgment to Zhiyao that Tian Qi will kill Qi Junyangsheng is a bit of a detour, and the reason is that the living Qi Junyang's life is beneficial to Tian's.

"My lord, Tian's plan is very big." If Zhiyao didn't know the historical answer in advance, there is a high probability that Tian's would not understand why Tian's regicide.

Zhishen asked in a daze, "What is the plan?"

In Zhishen's mind, the limit that can be imagined is almost Tian's desire to be like the Qing family of Jin.

Zhiyao tried her best not to look so sinister when she smiled, and then said: "Dai Qi."

However, Zhishen was frightened by Zhiyao's sinister smile first, and was completely dumbfounded when he heard the word "Dai Qi".

"Fat Qi..., no, attack the Tian family!" Zhishen's reaction was surprisingly strong.

This is why Zhiyao has always kept the idea of ​​Dai Jin deeply hidden, and her father reacted so much when she heard that the Tian family was going to replace the Lu family as the lord of Qi.

Not only Zhishen would have this kind of reaction, the rest of the Jin family, and even other countries, even if they pretended to be indignant, they clamored to crusade against the Tian family.

At present, no one is emphasizing the rule of the ruler and ministers. It is not that the rule of the ruler and ministers does not exist. On the contrary, because it is a matter of course, there is no need to emphasize it again and again.

"Of course the Tian clan should be attacked, but..." Zhiyao shook her head as she spoke, and continued, "How could the Qi Kingdom believe me?"

Zhishen also realized the problem.

As a father, of course he trusts his son's judgment, not to mention that Zhiyao's judgment has never been wrong.

The key issue is that no matter how poor the Qi State is, it will not accept other countries' random interference in its internal affairs. Qi Junyang trusts and relies on the Tian family, and the intervention of external forces is bound to be regarded as a form of aggression.

To warn Qi Jun Yangsheng or the Duke of Qi in advance?It is very likely that it will have the opposite effect.

Zhiyao said: "My lord, it's up to you to deal with the matter here."

Zhishen's face is still a bit ugly, it seems that he really wants to get rid of Tian's?

Well... Seriously speaking, Jin State seeks to restore its hegemony, and one of the responsibilities of hegemony is to ensure that the monarchy of various countries continues through blood.

And Zhiyao understands one more thing, it is more difficult for foreign surnames to seek Guozuo than imagined, not only internal opponents, but also external interference, it is estimated that the future generations of Jin will not only be a matter of strength, but will involve all aspects. More than you can imagine.
