I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 338

When Zhiyao was attracted attention by Wei and Han's changes, there was a country that was very busy.

This country is the country of Lu who thinks it has a lot to gain.

The State of Lu has always hoped that the State of Qi will be unlucky, and after hundreds of years, it can be regarded as hope that the State of Qi will be really unlucky.

In fact, even without Zhishi's intervention, Qi, which lost [-] troops in the "Battle of Ai Ling", would fall into turmoil.

just what?In the original version of history, after the unlucky Qi State, Lu State did not take advantage of Qi State.

In the original version of history, Qi State fell into violent turmoil, and it was the Tian family who took advantage of it.

Tian took advantage of this rare opportunity..., most likely they created the opportunity to kill three Qi monarchs in less than ten years, weakening the Dukes of Qi in a very short period of time, and going from top to bottom. Under the control of all aspects of Qi, created a basic pattern of Tian's generation Qi.

In this version of history changed by Zhiyao, the Tian family became puppets, and they were manipulated by tangible and intangible forces on the road to separatist Donglai.

Dongnae is not a good place. There are typhoons almost every autumn. Even if the typhoon does not make landfall, just being swept by its tail will have a great impact on agricultural development.

"The three 'armies' of the State of Lu went out together, captured 'Ai Ling' all the way, and went all the way out of Mount Tai to the upper reaches of Jishui."

"The scouts reported that there were about [-] Lu troops attacking 'Ai Ling', and they fought hard with more than a thousand defenders for more than ten days before conquering the city. The Lu army's leader on this road is Zigong."

"The leader of the road out of Taishan, Zilu, led about [-] Lu troops to defeat 'Fei', but failed to attack 'Jinzi', and moved to 'Sui'."

About two years ago, Zhiyao asked the disciples of Confucius who were born in the state of Lu to go back, and they stayed by Confucius' side after they returned.

Unexpectedly, the State of Lu took action this time, and disciples of Confucius took up official positions in the State of Lu. For example, Zigong became the chief general of the Lu army's partial division, and the chief general of the main force of the State of Lu was Zilu.

Zilu, Zigong and the others didn't report these things to Zhishi in advance, not to mention getting Zhizhi's consent, it took Zhiyao to send a spy to find out the news.

So, is their behavior a kind of betrayal?

If Zilu and other disciples were from Jin, and they held the official positions of Lu, but did not attack the cities of Jin, it could not be regarded as a kind of betrayal.

They are Lu people first, and then they are disciples of Confucius. The premise is that they are willing to contribute to their mother country. Even if they attack the Jin country, their betrayal is only a betrayal of the trust and cultivation of the Zhi family, not a betrayal of the Jin country.

One thing that must be known is that it currently belongs to the "dual monarchy", that is, whoever one worships as a teacher, and then serves a certain lord. In fact, the status of the teacher and the lord are equal.

Then, as people from Lu, it seems to be a matter of course for them to be entrusted by their master to serve their mother country.

As for not getting Zhi Shi's permission in advance, Zi Lu and the others couldn't get around it anyway, and they would definitely leave flaws in morality.

Especially once the Zhi clan takes action and is on the opposite side of the state of Lu, they will inevitably have a spiritual struggle to choose whether to continue to obey Master and serve the country from the perspective of Lu people, or choose Zhi clan The status of the retainer then fulfills the contractual relationship between the monarch and his subjects.

It seems that the relationship is complicated, and in fact it is really complicated. Soon they will face a choice.

Sima Rangju said with a clear attitude: "The eldest son can send someone to call."

The upper reaches of the Jishui River in Qi State have long been targeted by the Zhi family. Even if the ruler and ministers of the Lu state do not know this, how can Zilu, Zi Gong and others who have worked for the Zhi family for so many years not know?

Logically speaking, Zilu and the others would not directly say that the Zhi family had their eyes on the upper reaches of Jishui River in Qi State, or else it was a kind of betrayal that did not abide by the spirit of the contract; leaking secrets would definitely be beneficial to persuade the monarchs and ministers of the State of Lu to give up their meddling. Successfully persuading the monarch and ministers of Lu to give up would not only betray the Zhi family, but also cause a major lack of morality.

Their kind of "Confucianism" pursues morality the most, and only those who have enough morality can use "ritual" as a weapon. If their own morality cannot stand, it is basically abolished.

Sima Rangju directly attacked from the deadliest place, and Zhishi summoned Zilu and others to return. Since they had already held relevant positions, it would be their fault whether they obeyed the call or not.

"In the future to destroy Lu, with the way of 'Confucianism', I am afraid that the situation will be the same as fire and water." Sun Wu said.

Confucius was still alive, and he would not be willing to see the state of Lu perish, so he must call his disciples and grandchildren to defend the state of Lu.

Those who are disciples of Confucius, even if they become ministers of other countries, they cannot change their origins from the country of Lu. With the call of the master, it is almost certain that they will become the enemies of the Zhi family.

Zhiyao aroused the thought of destroying the Lu country, and immediately determined that that day would come sooner or later, otherwise, how could it be possible to transfer those people from their original positions without leaving a trace after making up their minds to destroy the Lu country, and even become half-hearted later? Exile status?
Even though she was prepared in her heart, when that day came, Zhiyao was more or less in a trance.

"No need." Of course, Zhiyao vetoed it not out of emotion, and continued to say with a smile: "I attack it, Lu attack it, there is no comparison."

If the state of Qi fails, it is another matter for countries such as Jin, Chu, and Wu to invade by other countries.

Zhiyao said: "Let the Lu army cut off the Qi army that still has an organizational system for me."

The upper reaches of the Jishui River are the economic powerhouses of the Qi State, and the Qi State has benefited from it over the past 200 years.

Because there is a relationship that penetrates the hinterland of the Central Plains like a sharp knife, and later develops into an economic powerhouse, it makes no sense for the Qi Congress to ignore it.

At the beginning, the feudal lords of the Dukes of Qi were enfeoffed over there, and their own family was very powerful. Later, the big fish ate the small fish in repeated involutions. Given the current state of Qi, it was impossible to fight against the Zhi family and resist the Lu family. Army invasion should not be a problem.

And Qi people have a natural psychological advantage when facing Lu people.This kind of psychological advantage seems to be that the Jin people will not be cowardly against everyone, and the Qi people believe that the Lu people are defeated in their hearts.

Therefore, even though the overall situation of Qi State is very bad, if he finds that Lu State has made trouble for him, he will definitely be extremely angry and want to take a bad breath on Lu Jun.

Sima Rangju and Sun Wu looked at each other.

They looked at each other for two breaths and laughed together.

Zhiyao was stunned, and shook her head as if thinking of something, and said dumbfoundedly: "Don't worry about it, both of you, if you have something to say, just say it."

It doesn't make sense that Sima Rangju and Sun Wu can't see that it is good for the Zhi family to let the Lu army wreak havoc first, and what they did before is another performance.

It's not acting, but I just want to see if Zhiyao's energy is restrained by Wei and Han's changes, and whether her mentality has become more anxious to destroy Qi, or whether she will appear in the matter of dealing with Lu mistake.

This temptation is a little mischievous.

If Zhiyao really made a wrong choice, it would be necessary to stage a scene of a good minister strongly admonishing her.

Sun Wu and Sima Rangju obviously underestimated Zhiyao.

In fact, a person like Zhiyao who has a clear goal, how can he get out of order when encountering an accident, the big goal is there, and if there is a mistake and he notices it, it is just a fine-tuning operation to put it right again.

This is the benefit of having a clear goal and making relevant plans in advance, which is fundamentally different from taking one step at a time.

"Now, Wu and Lu have moved, and the Chu army is still stationed in the territory of Song. I don't know how Chu will make a choice?" Zhiyao asked.

Sun Wu said: "How come Chu doesn't want to take a share of the pie, but Wu is on the side, and the Wei family is also gathering heavy troops."

To put it simply, the external environment of Chu State is very bad. It is not what they want to do, but what the neighbors around them are willing to let them do.

They were no longer indoors, and came to the streets of "Linzi" and wandered aimlessly.

The "Linzi" city, which was originally the capital of the Qi State, has lost the scenes of Zhang Yi turning into shade, sweating into rain, and standing shoulder to shoulder, and some are only left with depression.

In fact, Linzi, the capital city of Qi State, was originally a commercial city. People with household registration in the city would want to run away, and those who came in regularly to make a living would not come again after the war came. The city lost a large number of people in an instant, and suddenly became deserted.

During the "Battle of Ai Ling", a large number of the Dukes of Qi State lost a large number, and they fell in batches in the subsequent civil war. Their deaths were not only their own end, but the situation of their family members, retainers, and retinues can be imagined.

Zhiyao absorbed many run-down members of the Duke of Qi whose patriarch had died, and formed a Consortium just like after the defeat of Zhongshan, specializing in dirty work.

It can only be said that only when you lose it can you understand the beauty you once had. In order to keep the wealth and wealth, the Alliance Army is really useful in purging.

"More than [-] Qi people can be sent to the west." Zhiyao said rather abruptly.

Sima Rangju, who was revisiting the old place, was stunned at first, and then said: "Yes."

Zhiyao said again: "My son is stubborn and worthy of great responsibility."

This son is not a descendant of the late Qi Junren, and it can even be said that he is not related to the Qi Junren of the previous generations.

Both Sima Rangju and Sun Wu knew that Zhiyao was just making an announcement, not a discussion.

Zhi Yao said quietly: "The [-] Qi people are the pillars of the Qi State. It is their mission to defeat the Lu State's invasion westward. When they return, there must be loyal ministers who will enjoy high positions."

Recently, Zhiyao was thinking about one thing. Although the Zhi family occupied the territory of Qi State, it can be regarded as helping Qi State to do the business of the Qing Dynasty. It is not too much to become the ruler of Qi State, right?
Zhiyao's concern is only whether she will over-irritate the Wei family, and instead reserves a trick to infiltrate Qi from all sides.

In the distance, another wave of chaos was stopped.

During Zhiyao's stay in "Linzi" these days, as long as he went out for a stroll, people from Qi would definitely try to assassinate them, and they would be caught one by one.

The identities of those Qi people are all kinds of strange, the only thing they have in common is that none of them are nobles...
