I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 288
At this stage, the state of Jin doesn't want to have too much contact with the state of Chu at all. Whether it's sending out a large army to fight, or playing diplomatic cooperation between the two sides, they just don't want to play with it anyway.

The real fact is that as long as Chu State does not perish for a day, Jin people will regard Chu State as the biggest enemy, so that they will not forget Chu State all at once because of the rapid rise of a certain country. No matter how busy Jin people are, they will keep one eye on Chu.

Will Chu people be proud of it?They should be a feeling of pain mixed with pleasure.

"Suppose Chu sends troops, either to attack Zheng, or to join Zheng." Zhishen asked.

Zhiyao replied: "Or to confuse Wu Guo?"

Still very much a possibility.

Not because of anything else, but simply because Wu's military strength in the north last year was seriously damaged. This alone is enough for Chu to dig a hole for Wu, and try to see if it can reverse the struggle between the two countries.

In the past few decades, the war between Chu State and Wu State has repeatedly suffered losses. At the worst time, even the capital was captured by the Wu army.

In the past few years, while Wu State was planning to go north, on the other hand, he repeatedly snatched the fruits of Chu State's victory over Yang Yue.

The state of Chu would like to thank the land that originally belonged to Yang Yue to be mountainous, and it was also an environment with dense forests and water systems.

Of course, there are also differences between mountains, forests, and water. For example, in the item of "more water", it will be a big trouble for the water system to provide boats, especially if it falls into the hands of Wu Guo.

Yangyue's area now preserves a great original appearance, and there are so many plants that are exaggerated, even the banks of streams and rivers are covered with all kinds of plants, and even in the rainy season, they will be diverted in various ways, or simply The formation of Zeguo.

Precisely because the terrain is complex and the original appearance is maintained, various environmental changes will occur at every turn when the rainy season comes. Fucha, who is extremely adventurous, just pretends that he has not snatched the land from Chu State, and pays taxes if the local people are willing. Willing or not, Wu Jun will go to crusade.

In fact, the system of Wu State is different from other countries. They have a class of nobles, and the rights of the nobles are actually pitifully small. It's useless to occupy it, just throw it there.

Zhishen didn't understand what Zhiyao meant when he said that Chu State confused Wu State.

Wu Guo lost so many troops just now, and they didn't stop digging the canal, and they didn't even intend to give up on building the city.

Wu Guo, who is undergoing a super-large project, has experienced a major defeat. Shouldn't they stop military operations and wait for a few years before taking action?
Zhiyao said: "It is precisely because Wu's army suffered a big defeat that it is possible to use troops against Chu."

The Wu people are still quite flustered at present, especially against Chu, they felt that they would win before the fight started.This is Wu Jun's confidence in the Wu people's confidence in the Chu army's repeated victories, and the troubles within Chu State have not been resolved.

Zhishen didn't get too entangled with things he didn't understand or didn't think of, and asked, "Your Commander wants to make everyone prepare early, how should I respond?"

In Zhiyao's view, the answer is whether you want wool or not.

The family's private war was started, but the country was thinking about the bottom line, and the Wei family was not the Que family.

As the most powerful Zhi clan among the families in the Jin Kingdom, he dare not think about such a beautiful thing. How shameless is the Wei clan to think like this?
Zhiyao said: "You can ask the Wei family to inform the families."

Anyway?Zhishi should not take the lead in this matter, just maintain an attitude of neither supporting nor opposing.

Zhi Shi and Wei Shi are just allies, not Wei Shi's nanny, let alone Wei Shi's tools, both sides should be clear about this.

Currently Wei Ju is in "Hulao". It's not that he doesn't have relatives staying in "Xintian", but because of his lack of status, he definitely can't take the lead.

Therefore, waiting for someone from the Wei family on the side of "Xintian" to pass the news to Wei Ju, we only need to see if Wei Ju will return to "Xintian" quickly, and we can basically see that the Wei family is on the way to attack the State of Zheng. Did it go well.

Zhiyao said: "Now we should pay attention to Qi, Lu, Song, Zheng and other countries may be allied."

This matter may change the national policy of the state of Wu, and induce the state of Wu to give up recuperation and go north to become the leader of the alliance, and then lead some countries to unite to attack the state of Jin.

Not to mention anything else, once these countries unite, the Zhi family will definitely be affected by annexing the Wei state and continuing to weaken the Qi state, and even cause the rest of the Jin family to be dissatisfied with the Zhi family and the Wei family, and the dissatisfaction with the Zhi family will be even greater. a little more.

They will be dissatisfied with the Zhi family, and the start of the civil war will not happen, all because it is not only the Zhi family that is expanding outwards in the family private war mode, but also the Wei family.

The two families were boycotted together?The Zhi family and the Wei family together accounted for more than [-]% of the power of the Jin country. Who is resisting whom?Believe it or not, Zhiyao will dare to let the Zhi family and the Wei family overturn the table of Jin.

Since the Zhi family is facing such a risk, why not help the Wei family to take the lead in dealing with the possible crisis this time?This is actually a matter of attitude, and it also involves the factor of initiative.

I repeat, Zhishi is not Wei Shi's younger brother, let alone a tool in Wei Ju's hands, how could he send someone over to say something, and Zhishi would do it?
If Wei Ju came here in person, it would be more reasonable. In fact, Zhiyao would not agree with Zhishi to take the lead.The reason is still related to the initiative, and the covenant needs to be changed. For example, the Wei family gave up the qualification of being equal, and subdued and became a junior. Let’s talk about how the younger brother should serve the older brother.

It's really not that Zhiyao is stingy or fussy, it's not the era when the covenant was just signed and there was no consequence for wanting to tear it up anytime.No matter how strong the strength is, if you sign the covenant in the first step, you will suffer great backlash if you tear up the covenant after a long time.

About a month later, Wei Ju returned to "Xintian", the capital of Jin State.

Wei Ju, who just came back, did not rest too much at all, went home to wash and change clothes, and came to visit Zhishi.

Zhiyao, who was playing with his wife and children, heard the news and saw Zhishen and Wei Ju sitting face to face. After listening for a while, they realized that they were talking about Zheng Guo's career that was starting to swing left and right again.

The difference from before is that Zheng State did not swing back and forth between Jin State and Chu State, but became a matter of discussing alliances with Chu State and Wu State at the same time.

Zhiyao understood after hearing it.

That is to say, Wei Ju sensed the possibility of the alliance of several princes, and believed that this outbreak was entirely caused by the Zhi clan's attempt to annex the Wei state. Take the initiative to take the blame back, and then take the lead.

"Ju." Zhiyao interrupted Wei Ju impolitely, and said, "There is no need to talk about these matters. For example, if the princes will make an alliance, Wu Fu will go north, and the alliance with Chu Keye?"

After all, Zhiyao is not like the rest of the Jin people, even if they are wary of Chu, they will not even be reluctant to cooperate temporarily.

Wei Ju was a little confused by the question, and thought: "I'm not looking for responsibility, I just think that the Zhi family has gone too far this time. That's the destruction of the country, or the destruction of the Wei country, not Mao, Nanyan, A pocket country like the Yi Kingdom."

In the past, most people knew that the Zhi family wanted to expand eastward, thinking that it was to weaken Qi, but they really did not expect that the Zhi family would destroy other countries.

Now?Most people still haven't noticed Zhishi...or Zhiyao's ambition, at most they think Zhishi is a bit scary, and it's a bit too much for personal grievances to be caused by destroying people and the country.

Seeing that Zhiyao was still waiting for an answer, Wei Ju said without thinking, "Wu might be full of energy, and Chu is the enemy. Allying with Chu? This is unprecedented."

Zhiyao asked again.

With the second time, Wei Ju began to understand that Zhiyao was not joking. Once Wu Guo brought other countries to the alliance, the Zhi family planned to form an alliance with Chu.

This time, Wei Ju looked at Zhishen with a rather astonished expression, wondering what Zhishen's attitude was.

Zhishen kept his face expressionless.

Regarding the temporary alliance with Chu State, Zhiyao and Zhishen talked about it many times, and they mentioned related plans long before Zhishi's eastward expansion.

What shocked Zhishen was that there really was such a day, and the more he felt that there was nothing wrong with listening to Zhiyao.

In other words, Zhiyao has "prophesied" things that will happen ten years later, isn't that enough to prove something?

It fully proves that Zhiyao knows exactly what she is thinking and doing, and has a series of plans.

Even more than ten years later, there is already a plan?Zhishen felt that even if he didn't understand, it was better not to interfere or interrupt Zhiyao's deployment.

Wei Ju was a little lost, and said in a daze, "Is this the case?"

It is not necessary, but the Zhi family will not give up on eastward expansion, and it is also possible for Jin to carry it alone.

Zhiyao felt that she hadn't reached that point.

It is just a combination of Wu, Qi, Lu, Song, Zheng, and some small countries that are not in the mainstream. Among them, Qi is more serious than half-disabled, and Wu has just lost [-] to [-] troops. Guo is a cheerleader, Zheng Guo has been invaded several times in a row, and his vitality has been seriously injured, and only Song Guo can be considered to be in the best condition.

How many troops can these princes combine to pull out?According to Zhiyao's judgment, it is considered a lot for them to pull a hundred thousand troops to the north, and how sincere cooperation they can have is still a question.

But don't forget that the country of Wu has never been a trustworthy country.

Does the State of Song dare to spare its domestic troops?They definitely dare not, what they are afraid of is that Wu Guo will suddenly come from behind.

Zheng Guo wanted to have more troops, but the problem was that they needed to guard against Chu.

Don't expect Qi to send the most troops at that time. They are still unwilling to fight under the command of Wu Jun in order to regain lost ground.

Zhiyao smiled and said to Wei Ju: "Wu Fu goes north, and the princes join forces, which will benefit me."

There is no need to say much about the truth, as long as you understand it, you should understand it.

Zhiyao went on to say: "At that time, there will be a battle, regardless of whether the two sides win or lose, how can Zheng not lose the army?"

At this moment, Wei Ju's brain began to become active...

　Remember to vote, thank you!
