I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 416 What is the name of the country?

This time, there were two countries that held the alliance, Chu State, which proposed the alliance first, and Jin State, which invited the kings of the nations to form the alliance later.

Because Chu State sent envoys to invite Jin State, Zhiyao also sent people to "Ying" to invite Chu Junzhang after deciding to hold an alliance.

I believe that after knowing the purpose of the Jin envoy's visit, the kings and ministers of the Chu Kingdom must be stupefied at first, and then furious?
After all, the Zhi family and the Chu State had established friendly relations with each other before, and the Wei family also had contacts with the Chu State later, all of which showed that the two most powerful families in the Jin State intended to ease and even improve their relationship with the Chu State.

It must have been the initiative of the Zhi family and the Wei family to the Chu state, which led to the idea of ​​making progress in the Chu state, and even wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Jin state to lead the way. How could it be expected that the Jin state in the state of civil war would still choose to be positive.

Therefore, Chu State miscalculated the situation of Jin State, and at the same time thought that Jin State was too weak.

The so-called unstoppable anger of the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State is nothing more than that the State of Chu felt that the Jin State had been in chaos for a period of time, and its own civil strife had not been completely settled for the time being.

The state of Jin and the state of Chu began to confront each other again. In fact, it is the princes who are suffering, and Goujian among the princes will definitely feel very happy.

Gou Jian did not abide by the covenant, not only killed Wu Junxi, but also wantonly annexed Wu's territory.

Are you saying Goujian is crazy?He did not forget to return the territory Wu had seized from Chu, Song, and Lu, but he just ignored Ju's claim for sovereignty.

However, reason seems to have nothing to do with Goujian?He promised a series of things in the "Huangchi Huimeng", not to mention all violations of the covenant, but the biggest problem is the violation of the survival and continuation that is most related to etiquette.

If it had been done by someone else, it might have caused a great shock.

Everyone sees that it is Gou Jian who violated the covenant?Probably just said calmly: Oh, it's him.

There is no other reason, in anyone's opinion, what Gou Jian did is not enough to be surprised.

Many princes agreed to go to "Yongqiu" to participate in the alliance.

Later, the Jin State was going to hold a meeting in "Shangqiu", and the princes were confused for a while, knowing that this was the Jin State and the Chu State, and they really didn't want to stand in line.

According to past experience, once the state of Jin and the state of Chu face each other, there will be no winner in three to five years, and it may be another hundred years of war.

In the past, the princes couldn't stand it, and they really don't want to go through it again!
The key issue is that the princes cannot ignore the invitation of the Jin State, especially the countries in the Central Plains. They need to think about what it means to say that "far water cannot save near fire".

The Lu State, who thought they were very smart, promised to go to "Yongqiu" for the alliance. The decision will not be overturned, and they can send people to "Shangqiu" to participate in the alliance led by the Jin State at the same time.

So, what is Lu Guo doing?To not be a Riddler is to ride a wall and wave your arms to the world.

"Lu Guo..." Zhi Yao was immediately amused when she got the news.

The state of Lu is going to die regardless of whether it is dead or not?First, he got so close to the Yue State, which violated the oath of the "Huangchi Huimeng", and then he couldn't wait to agree to go to the "Yongqiu" alliance, and then he acted on the fence.

It would be fine if Lu State stood firm. When Jin State invaded, Yue State, which directly bordered Lu State, should send reinforcements even if it pretended to be. Chu State could not remain indifferent to Lu State's invasion.

After all, in addition to the need to protect face, everyone must use practical actions to tell the rest of the younger brothers: I am serious about protecting you!

There are a lot of reasons why Chu, Yue and other covenant countries will not support Lu's behavior now.

The feedback Zhiyao received was that all the invited princes in the Central Plains region would rush to "Shangqiu" to participate in the alliance, including Zheng Guo.

As for the South?There are actually quite a few countries over there, but the only ones that have contact with the Central Plains are Chu and Yue. Chu's affiliated countries like Cai, Zeng, and Tong have lost their independence. What about Baipu and Yangyue? , Minyue, Yangyu, Yelang... and so on, some countries or tribal alliances have hardly had any contact with the Central Plains.

Goujian of Yue State has been invited and is willing to send ministers to "Shangqiu" to participate in the alliance, and he himself will go to "Yongqiu" to participate in the alliance held by Chu State.

This time, Lu State and Yue State became the same country.

From now on, when the rulers and ministers of the Lu Kingdom claim to be a "gentlemen's country"... No matter whether others believe it or not, the people of Lu believe it anyway.

It seems that the countries in the Central Plains are not stupid except for the country of Lu?
What is more uncomfortable is that in fact, there are not many countries left in the Central Plains, only Zheng Guo, Lu Guo, Ju Guo, Qi Guo, Zhu Guo, Xue Guo, Teng Guo, Pi Guo, and Tan Guo, most of which are made up of.

Qin?They are not countries in the Central Plains region, and they are alone in the west.

This time, the State of Qin will join the "Yongqiu" alliance, and no accident, it will be a part of the anti-Jin alliance next.

In addition, Zhiyao inquired about the news that Zhao's Daiguo would also participate in the "Yongqiu" alliance.

That's right, the Zhao family would use the name of Dai Guo to appear on the stage. They did usurp the Guozuo of the Daijun lineage and become a member of the princes, but they were not recognized by the Zhou royal family and most of the princes.

Do you think Chu State will take the lead in acknowledging Zhao's vassal status this time?Not surprisingly, all the princes who went to participate in the "Yongqiu League" would admit it.

Zhiyao and his party arrived safely outside the city of "Shangqiu", and were greeted by Song Junluan and his ministers.

"Lu, Yue, Zheng, Guo, Tan, Zhu, Xue, and Teng all went to 'Yongqiu' to form alliances. The kings or envoys of their countries were also in 'Shangqiu'." Song Junluan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

That was a good leader led by the State of Lu. After taking the lead in riding on the wall, he became a leader. The rest of the princes will definitely follow suit.

Zhiyao smiled very politely, and said: "The princes of the world are the only ones who are honest."

If it's not for ridicule, it's best not to say that Song Guo is abiding by etiquette.

After all, as the state of Song, which continued to worship the ancestors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, their own status was quite embarrassing.

Saying that they obey the etiquette in front of the king and ministers of the Song Dynasty is tantamount to reminding them that they are a gang of remnants, and it is still implying that everyone will be humiliated.

Song Junluan said with a wry smile: "Don't dare to do it, you know how strong you are."

Pay attention to the title!

It seems that Song Guo has received news that Zhou Tianzi canonized Zhiyao as Marquis, otherwise he would not be called "Jun".

In terms of address, the higher the status, the more particular people are, so that there will be no slips of the tongue.

Then things will become clearer.

The state of Song may be happy to see the success of Zhi's transformation of the family into a country, or it may be a kind of indifference. What is needed is to stand by the powerful Zhi's side and deal with the threats from Chu and Yue.

Zhiyao's reward was to talk about some business with Song Junluan, and a series of transactions were kept on the basis of mutual benefit as much as possible.

The state of Jin is not a rich country, the country that used to be the richest... that is, the state of Qi has fallen, and the state of Song is now the richest country.

This is because the Zhi family is not equal to the state of Jin, and the Zhi family has not yet turned the family into a country. Furthermore, the Zhi family has invested too much in military affairs and construction, which is really not enough to enrich the treasury.

Song Junluan, who had a pleasant chat, did not invite Zhiyao into the city.This is a sensible and restrained person. It is very clear that Zhiyao can't just put himself in a dangerous place now, such as entering the capital of another country.

What if Zhiyao brought thousands of people into "Shangqiu", the capital of the Song Dynasty?To be honest, the monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty will become the one who is not happy.

We all know each other's needs and fears, so why make each other unhappy?
"The Song Dynasty can survive." Sima Rangju said.

It sounds like a mockery, but it's actually a compliment.

Song State has been the most embarrassing country for a long time. They knew that they would suffer losses many times, but they still chose to follow the Zhou rituals, so that one monarch was called "stupid pig-like benevolence and righteousness".

Those who scolded, did they know that if Song Guo did not abide by Zhou etiquette, he would most likely be beaten?

That night.

The camp of the Jin army was set up, and Zhiyao sent invitations to the princes and envoys, including Song Junluan, to come to the camp for a banquet.

This time, Zhiyao only brought two "teachers" to the south, because these two "teachers" have sufficient gold content.

The armor penetration rate reaches 100%, the rest of the equipment is surplus, and the grain and fodder can be eaten for one year.

Only the armor rate is 100%, so far only Zhishi can do it!
In addition, Weidi is only five or six hundred miles away from "Shangqiu", and there is a "division" assembled there and a large number of cavalry on standby.

If that's not enough insurance?There is also a legion in the southern border of the state of Jin that is performing military affairs. It is necessary to put down the task at hand and go south immediately.

What really happened to Zhiyao, the later the time, the more troops going south must be.

Of course, a series of backhands is just in case.

Because it was the invitation of the Jin State to join the alliance, the alliance platform was naturally built by the Jin State.

Speaking of which, there are many Huimeng platforms in many places in the territory of the Song Dynasty. Perhaps there is a certain mound more than 400 years later, which is one of the former Huimeng platforms.

There are two other places where there are many alliance platforms, one is the former site of Chen State, and the other is the boundary of Zheng State.It was during the Hundred Years War between Jin and Chu, the main battlefield was within the territory of Zheng, and later moved to the south, which is the former site of Chen.

Zhiyao didn't deliberately make things difficult for anyone, and treated him with courtesy even in the face of the representative Goujian's language, let alone messing with Ji Sunfei, who was in power in Lu State.

If it's time to "beep beep", one day it will tell the world why they want to hit someone. There is no need to create tension in advance, and even temporarily release wrong signals.

For example, Zhishi's most important thing now is to turn his family into a country, and he doesn't even think about making troubles for other countries. If everyone doesn't take the initiative to provoke Zhishi, maybe everyone can get along peacefully in the future?
That's right, Song Guo knew the news that Zhou Tianzi was about to canonize Zhiyao as Marquis, which meant that all the countries that should know knew about it.

Of course they were surprised, but considering the current complicated situation, many people thought it was a good thing.

how to say?Once the Zhi family no longer belongs to the state of Jin and waits for the Zhi family to establish its own country, will many things in the past be reversed? ? ?
