Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Since Qin Wengong, it has been through the efforts of several generations of monarchs.

The state of Qin was seeking its own space for development, winning successive victories in the crusade against Xirong, conquering all the lands of Qifeng, and destroying the Sherong one after another.

Defeat the two army tribes of Bei and Hebei, conquer Peng Xirong, march to Huashan, recover the land of Du and Zheng, destroy Xiaoguo, and advance the territory to the middle and east of the Guandong.

This process took Qin State a hundred years.

However, it has occupied most of the territory of the relevant Central Plains and has risen to become a rising power in the West.

By Qin Mugong's generation, Qin had already participated in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains and became a second-class power after Jin, Chu, and Qi.

It's a pity that Qin Mugong is ambitious and Qin's national strength is not bad, but he was unable to go east after all, and was firmly locked in by the more powerful overlord of the Central Plains, Jin.

Therefore, in desperation, Duke Mu of Qin could only go west to "Yiguo Twelve, opened up thousands of miles, and then dominated Xirong".

After Qin Mugong, for more than a hundred years, Qin State continued to decline, and it no longer had the momentum to compete with the overlord Jin State in the past.

Having said that, the national power of Qin State at this time is also on the same level as Qi State, but it is a little poorer...

Looking at all the countries in the world, only the Qin army can compete with the Jin army in chariot battles.

Qingji had to admit it too!

"Doctor Shang, you are a rare visitor to me and Wu Guo."

Sitting on his throne, Qingji smiled slightly and said, "This can be said to be the first diplomatic relationship between Wu and Qin!"

"There are nine states in the world, the state of Wu lives in the southeast corner, and the state of Qin lives in the west corner. They are separated by thousands of miles, and there is no negotiation."

"The widow also intends to establish diplomatic relations with Qin."

"good!"

Zihu couldn't help nodding his head slightly.

When he entered Wu this time, his mission was to represent Qin State and establish diplomatic relations with Wu State.

And Qingji's thoughts coincided with those of the Qin people.

Because they all have a common enemy——

Jin country!

The strength of Jin is beyond doubt.

Whether it is Wu State or Qin State, they all want to challenge Jin State, and then aspire to the Central Plains and become the real overlord.

That being the case, why can't they join forces to deal with Jin?

Qingji's national policy has always been to make friends from afar and attack close.

The state of Qin is far away from the state of Wu, and it is beyond reach, but it borders on the state of Jin, and its national strength is not weak. This is obviously an excellent ally!

"King Wu, when I came here, I heard that Zheng Guo was invading Jingdi. I don't know what King Wu thinks?"

Zihu asked curiously.

Hearing this, Qingji just chuckled and said, "Guo Zheng, you're just a clown."

"The king of Wu should know that Zheng Guo is now the minion of the Jin people. I am afraid that the Jin people are instigated by the Zheng army's sudden attack on Jing."

Hearing this, Qingji just laughed without saying a word.

Zihu couldn't figure out Qingji's thoughts for a while, so he said suspiciously: "King Wu, to be honest, although my king is far away in Qin, he has already heard about King Wu's deeds."

"The king of Wu has the style of a hero, and the state of Wu is determined to forge ahead and has become the overlord. If so, why doesn't the king of Wu send his troops to the north to compete with the state of Jin in the Central Plains?"

"If the State of Wu sends troops to attack Jin, we, the State of Qin, should also respond to the call and send troops to attack Jin from the west."

"The joint efforts of Wu and Qin will definitely defeat Jin, help King Wu become Fang Bo, unite nine vassals, and rule the world!"

Hearing this, Qingji just shook his head calmly and said, "Sir, Uncle Qin's kindness is appreciated."

"However, the state of Jin is ultimately strong, and it cannot be compared with the state of Wu."

"And the ambition of the widow is not to seek hegemony, and the widow doesn't care about Fang Bo's false name."

"..."

really?

Zihu felt suspicious in his heart.

In fact, Qingji did not deceive Zihu.

Qingji's real ambition is to dominate the world, clarify the universe, and let China and Kyushu have only one country——

Wu country!

Let there be only one voice in the world——

Wu language!

However, with Qingji's lifelong strength, it might be very difficult to do it.

To be able to weaken Jin, dominate the Central Plains, and make Wu the most powerful country in the world is the limit of Qing Ji.

Qingji also knew that this matter should not be rushed.

He must be steady and steady!

Zihu induced Wu to attack Jin, but he was just trying to test Qingji.

The state of Wu and the state of Qin are tied together, and it is indeed possible to surpass the state of Jin.

However, how can the rest of the vassal states sit idly by?
In case Qin Guo stabs a knife in the back.

Jin people or Qi people will play another drama of "respecting the king and rejecting barbarians", and the state of Wu may not perish by then.

……

At noon, Qingji changed into the king's regular clothes, tied his hair with a purple gold crown, and left the Wu palace in a simple and easy way.

His destination this time is to visit Lao Tzu.

Who is Lao Tzu?
That is the well-known "sage" in the Spring and Autumn Period, the originator of Taoism.

Lao Tzu's reputation, few people in this era can match.

Qingji created a personality for himself as a "corporate of respect and virtuousness", respecting the virtuous and using his ability, so naturally he can't neglect Lao Tzu.

As Qingji's King of Wu, as the host, he can call Lao Tzu into the palace.

However, in this way, his posture is too high.

So whenever he was free, Qingji planned to visit Lao Tzu in person.

At this time, Laozi did not live in the Chuanshe of Jinling City like Zihu, but temporarily lived in the mansion of Daxingling Kongqiu.

Because Confucius and Laozi had a relationship in the early years, they forged a rather deep friendship.

"My lord, the master of the villain and Lao Tzu have traveled together not long ago and went to Jixia Academy, but they are not at the residence now."

A servant in Kongqiu's mansion answered with a bow.

Fluttered?

However, since I'm new here, I probably won't be idle.

This was still within Qingji's expectations.

Like Qingji, there are quite a few officials and scholars who came to visit Lao Tzu at Confucius' mansion.

For Lao Tzu who is famous all over the world, everyone wants to see his demeanor.

Therefore, at this time, in front of the Kongqiu Mansion, there was a bustling bustle of people, and it was very lively.

"Wo Xiangyao teaches how to be a 'sister'."

"Miss Judy, what are you talking about? I can't hear clearly."

Just when Qingji was about to leave Kongqiu's mansion and went to Jixia Academy to take a look, he suddenly saw two people talking in the courtyard not far from the gate of the mansion.

One is an unremarkable middle-aged man with a short beard, who seems to be the housekeeper (housekeeper) of Confucius' mansion.

The other is a blond beauty with fair and delicate skin, wearing a tight samurai uniform, which outlines a very bumpy figure.

European?
Qingji was very puzzled.

The appearance of that beautiful woman is clearly of European and American race.

However, now is the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is no advanced means of transportation. How did this Europa woman cross the ocean and enter China, and came to the country of Wu?
Qingji suddenly became interested.

At this time, Judy was patient and murmured to the housekeeper, but the housekeeper was confused.

Seeing that the housekeeper in front of her could not understand her own language and had difficulty communicating, Judy was a little frustrated, but she could only use sign language to give hints.
