I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 41 Zifujiao's Lobbying
Yingyi is not so much a feudal city as it is a pass for stationing troops.

Outside the city is a piece of uneven hills, and an official road that can accommodate two military vehicles running side by side extends from the east gate of Yingyi to the state of Ju.

But at this moment, the hills on both sides of the official road were covered with camps of Ju and Zhu, as if covered with a layer of snow velvet, it was actually a vast expanse of whiteness.

The coalition forces of Ju and Zhu have besieged Yingyi for ten days.

Sun Wu was suffering from Ju, and the siege equipment in the two countries was too few. When he encountered this deep and strong city, and the Ji clan's army that was desperately resisting in a desperate situation, he gradually lost his confidence.

Just when he was at a loss and was about to make another deployment in the big tent, suddenly, a messenger came from outside the tent, and he only said that he was from the state of Jin.

Sun Wu knew that it must be Li Ran who had the news, so he quickly called him into the account.

"The season has been dedicated to the city."

Seeing the four simple and clear words on the bamboo piece, Sun Wu was very astonished. He immediately looked up to the north and murmured:

"He really did it!  …"

In the beginning, he didn't believe that Li Ran could return the cities of Ju and Zhu in the state of Jin.Because he felt that this kind of matter related to the territory and the city, even if Ji Sunsu suffered a setback in Jin, he would definitely carry it to the end, and in the end he would have to rely on force and fists to speak.

But he never expected that just halfway through the fight on his side, at the most difficult moment, the Ji clan actually surrendered completely, just like what Li Ran had planned with him before.

This made him admire Li Ran even more.It can be seen that sometimes strategy is more effective than military affairs.

"What a 'shangbingbingmou'!"

After getting the news, Sun Wu didn't dare to stay, and immediately sent people into Yingyi to persuade Ji Sun Yiru to surrender.

……

Yingyi City Tower.

Ji Sun Yiru was standing on the city tower of Yingyi looking down at the camp of the Julu Allied Forces that stretched for dozens of miles below.

His face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of hatred and anger, but unfortunately he couldn't vent it.

"Young master, are you sure you want to sacrifice the city?"

This time, together with Ji Sun Yiru, several other doctors of the Ji clan came to station in Yingyi. Although they are not from the same line of the Ji clan, the interests of the entire Ji clan are closely related to them.

Knowing that now the young master is actually going to sacrifice the city to surrender in exchange for Jisunsu, they immediately seemed a little frustrated.

"The Marquis of Jin blatantly detained the lord this time, presumably it must have been instigated by someone. Even if we return the land of Ju and Zhu to them, I'm afraid the suzerain may not be able to return to the country safely. Please think again, young master!"

"Yeah, Yiru, this matter is no small matter. Once you get discouraged, you will lose everything! How will my Ji family stand up in the country in the future? Presumably, this is what the lord is worried about!"

"However, fortunately, Junhou is still under our control. Although Xiancheng is humiliated at this time, as long as the lord does not make mistakes, we will always have a comeback day in the future."

There are many people who are worried about Ji's future, but there are also many people who support Ji Sun Yiru.

They thought they were still in control of Luhou at this time, and they naively thought that Luhou was just that naive and playful person.Therefore, they naively thought that as long as they could continue to control the state of Lu, the Ji family would not be defeated.

Therefore, for them, the real question is, at this time, if they surrender the city, can they rescue their suzerain Jisunsu?
Regarding this issue, Ji Sun Yiru also has his own ideas.

"Everyone, I have made up my mind, so please stop talking."

"Grandfather suffered in Jin Dynasty, how can Yiru sit idly by? If there is something wrong with his old man, what should my Ji family do?"

At this time, Ji Sun Yiru seemed to be concerned but chaotic.

In order to get back his grandfather who was trapped in Jin, Ji Sun Yiru would definitely give up Feiyi, let alone a few cities.

Because the suzerain of the Ji clan, without Ji Sunsu's approval, the undercurrent in this clan would not have calmed down.For example, his uncle, Ji Sunhai, who has returned to China now.

And of course he also knew that even if he returned the cities of Julu and Julu, Jin would not necessarily release Jisunsu.Therefore, he hastily wrote another letter to Zi Fujiao.

At this time, all he can count on is this doctor Zifu who has always had a good relationship with Jin.

"Zifujiao is eloquent and eloquent. It would be the best if he could use this to return the suzerain."

"But what my subordinates are worried about is that it is said that the Marquis of Jin is furious this time, and Zi Fujiao's lobbying alone may not be effective."

Of course they knew Zi Fujiao's ability.

However, the Marquis of Jin had been ignorant of the government for many years, and this time he took Jisunsu into custody as soon as he made a move, which was beyond everyone's expectations.Faced with such a predicament, can Zi Fujiao really be persuaded?
"I hope Mr. Zifu won't disappoint me."

Ji Sun Yiru looked towards the northern sky, and there was a touch of coldness in his eyes.

At the same time, in the northwest, Jiangcheng of Jin State.

After Zi Fujiao got the news about Ji Sun Yiru, he immediately cleaned up.He didn't care about the difference between the upper and the lower, and broke in through the gate of the Han Mansion in a grand manner.

Han Zhongjun had just returned from court at this time, and had not yet had time to change his clothes.Seeing that Lu Guozi Fujiao came straight forward in a domineering manner, he was also startled.

"Oh? Doctor Zifu, if you come today, I'm afraid you will return empty-handed."

Before Zi Fujiao could speak, Han Qi gave him a warning.

After all, Zi Fujiao was the person sent by the Ji family to contact him the first two times.Therefore, Han Qi was well aware of today's Zi Fujiao's intentions.

I saw that he was very embarrassed and continued to say:
"This matter is decided by the prince alone, and we have no right to intervene right now."

The detainment of Ji Sunsu was an order issued by the Marquis of Jin himself. Although Han Qi was the deacon on behalf of Zhao Wu, he was naturally not easy to fight against this order from the Marquis.Wouldn't it be another serious crime if he was caught by other colleagues in the future?
If it were an ordinary person, hearing this, most of them could only be impatient.

But Zi Fujiao really has two brushes, how could he come here completely unprepared?

Even though Han Qi had already spoken first, his face was still calm, without any disturbance.

"In any case, please listen to Han Zhongjun's next words."

After all, Han Qi felt somewhat apologetic at this time, so he didn't interrupt him, but let Zi Fujiao continue.

"The meeting in Pingqiu, the alliance of the princes, is to unite the princes here with faith. And the state of Jin is the leader who upholds justice in the world."

"The State of Lu came to participate in the alliance because of the righteousness of the leader of the alliance, but now Dr. Ji Sun was detained in public by the Kingdom of Jin. May I ask where is the faith of the Kingdom of Jin? What is the righteousness of the leader of the alliance?"

After Zi Fujiao said, he shook his head slightly, as if he was a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Han Qi was slightly taken aback, and sighed:

"Speaking of it, it's my fault. The Ji clan invaded and occupied the city of Julu, violating the Song League first. Now they have confronted the widowed monarch face to face, and the subordinates are the last. This is definitely not a word that can be justified by the word 'faithfulness'. "

The meaning of his words is obvious, the mistakes made by Ji Sunsu are no longer a matter of faith or dishonesty.You have invaded other people's city territory, are you justified?And contradict my lord face to face, since you know that my lord is the leader, do you still have the guts to contradict him?Isn't this just looking for death?If the state of Jin doesn't do this to you, then you really have lost your status as the leader of the alliance.

Zifujiao showed a thoughtful look on his face, and shook his head after a while and said:
"No."

"In the Luan Clan's rebellion in the past, the Qi people took advantage of the gap and captured Chaoge. The Widowed Emperor did not dare to stand idly by, so he sent Shusun Bao to command the soldiers of the whole country. Yan Lai of Qi State, our army did not dare to lead the army back to the country until after the Qi army retreated. Has the Jin State just forgotten what happened back then?"

Zi Fujiao's thinking is very clear, the detainment of Ji Sunsu must rely on the diplomatic accident between countries.It's not something as simple as targeting a family alone.In other words, the situation must be made more serious.

"The purpose of saying this below is not to emphasize the achievements of Lu State in the past, but to tell Han Zhongjun that Lu State is next to Qi State and is relatively weak. You can drive from Qi State in the morning and reach Lu State in the evening, but Lu State The country was not afraid of Qi's encroachment before, but was determined to share the fate with Jin."

"Because only in this way will it be beneficial to the State of Lu."

Good guy, Zi Fujiao's trick of reviving a dead body is amazing.Who is in charge of the state of Lu now?It's Ji's.Which one is closer, Qi State or Jin State?It is the state of Qi.Then, can the Ji clan of Lu State change its position and join Qi State?The answer is yes.

At this point, Zi Fujiao's expression changed, and he looked at Han Qi with deep worry on his face, only to hear him continue:
"Now the Marquis of Jin listens to the lies of the rulers of Ju and Zhu and abandons the State of Lu. Let me ask the princes of the world in the future, who will dare to obey the orders of the Marquis of Jin, and who will regard Jin as the overlord? If you take ten thousand steps back, even Ju , the two countries of Zhu are indeed reasonable, but how can they be compared with our country of Lu?"

"Ju, Zhu is just a barbarian, but my state of Lu is a state where the orthodoxy of the Zhou royal family has continued to this day, and all the etiquette in the world comes from Lu!"

"Is it the close relationship between Lu and Jin, or the close relationship between Ju, Zhu and Jin? Don't Han Zhongjun know? For the sake of two barbarians, punish Lu who has a close relationship with Jin, and invite Han Zhongjun and the Marquis of Jin You can reconsider the gains and losses."

Nice guy, another nice guy.At this time, Zi Fujiao moved out the identity of "our country of Lu is a country with the surname of Ji".You must know that more than half of the princes in the world have the surname Ji.The implication is that although your state of Jin is as fierce as a tiger at the moment, what you will lose at that time will be the support of the country surnamed Ji in the world.

All that said, weigh it carefully.

After saying these words, Zi Fujiao resigned and left.He didn't even wait to see if Han Qi's attitude would change.

It can be seen that he is extremely confident.

After hearing these words, Han Qi also fell into deep worry.

Of course he understood what Zi Fujiao meant, and he also knew the seriousness of this matter.He went outside the door and glanced at the several carts left behind by Zi Fujiao.I also know that the Ji family will never recover from this setback. In the end, this international Liangzi will have to be carried by him, Han Qi?

At the same time, Han Qi had to consider the final attitude of Marquis Jin to this matter.

Think twice, to no avail.He had no choice but to go to the sheep's tongue again, thinking that he should discuss with the sheep's tongue again.

In the Yangtong mansion, after learning about Han Qi's intentions, Yangtong said disapprovingly:
"Isn't Li Ziming's meaning clear enough that day? Ji Sunsu will never be let go easily."

Yang Tongue's attitude was very firm, just like Li Ran's attitude before.

Hearing this, Han Qi couldn't help hesitating and said:

"Li Ziming is just a guest minister after all. If we help him like this, what good will it do for Jin?"

Although Han Qi is respectful to Li Ran, he still knows the importance of matters that are directly related to this relationship.

Yang Tongue looked at him, and said in a very puzzled way:

"Does Han Zhongjun think that Li Ziming is just a guest official at this moment?"

"You have to know that he went to Lu State for only one year. However, in this short period of time, the politics of Lu State can be described as turbulent. Is there anything that has nothing to do with Li Ran? If you talk about Uncle Sun Bao, Ji Sunsu is Lu State. If he is an authority in the country, it would be better to say that Li Ran is the one who stirs up the situation."

"The Chinese army must not underestimate him!"

The benefits of helping Li Ran are invisible to the naked eye, and this is indeed a long-term investment.

Han Qi was startled when he heard the sound, and then said in surprise:

"Oh? This person is actually so capable?"

Sheep Tongue gave him a blank look, and said lightly:
"This person's realm is absolutely extraordinary."

　"Mandarin·Lu·Zifu Huibo Cong Ji Pingzi Rujin"

　　Jin people hold Pingzi.Zifu Huibo saw Han Xuanzi and said: "The husband's alliance is the key to faith. Jin is the leader of the alliance, and it is also the Lord's faith. If the alliance is abandoned and Luhou is abandoned, the faith will be suppressed. In the past, the chaos of the Luan family, the disaster of the Jin people in Qi, and the fall of the Jin Dynasty. Take the song of the court. My former monarch, Duke Xiang, did not dare to settle down, so that his uncle Sun Bao learned about the commander-in-chief, and he walked around, and there was no one. Stop Yan Laiyan, the Qi master retreats and then dares to return. It is not for the sake of distance, but it is close to Qi with the closeness of Lu, and it is also a small country; Worrying, also said: "The common people are almost beneficial to the Lu country!" Now believe in the barbarians and the barbarians and abandon them. If the husband and princes encourage the king, will they be safe? If you abandon Lu and stick to the princes, the officials will dare to kill them. The affairs of the princes of the Jin Dynasty are encouraged by Lu. If you abandon them because of the barbarians and barbarians, will you win the trust of the barbarians and barbarians and lose the trust of the princes? If you count their interests, the small countries will share their destiny." Xuanzi said, It's Gui Pingzi.
