    Chapter 371 Confucius makes people laugh and cry

    Tian Chang was also decisive enough. On the sixth day after Qi Pinggong came to the throne, he sent Taishi Ziyu. Oh no, now he should have asked the senior official Ziyu to go to the state of Lu, and his younger brother Tian Ziwen to go to the state of Wei.  The purpose is the same, to return the land Qi occupied from Wei and Lu to the two countries.

    However, Tian Ziwen¡¯s mission is the most important, because Tian Ziwen¡¯s mission to defend the country is only a superficial mission.  Otherwise, as Tian Ziwen, he would not have sent an envoy to the Wei State, which was lower than the Lu State in terms of national power and status. The reason why Tian Ziwen went to the Wei State as an envoy could be said to be incidental. His real purpose was to send an envoy to the Wei State.  The country is covering up.  After solving the problem of Wei Guo, he secretly entered Jin State and secretly signed an offensive and defensive mutual aid agreement with the four ministers of Jin State.

    Although Tian Chang had taken good care of the surrounding vassal states that could threaten Qi, Tian Chang could not rest assured. He ran to Langxie and sent someone to invite Yang Zilu to Langxie for an alliance.

    Although at present, in terms of the size of the country, the number of soldiers, talents, etc., there is no doubt that the Jin State is the most powerful.  But in terms of the size of the country, Hangu is actually the largest. Dongchu is nominally a vassal state, but in fact, anyone with some knowledge knows that it is just to deceive the people below. How big is the territory of Dongchu compared to the Han Dynasty?  What's the difference?

    As for military strength and talents, it is because the Han Dynasty was only a few years ago, so it has not had a strong foundation.  But strictly speaking, if the Jin State went to war with the Han State, the Jin State would undoubtedly be defeated, all because the four ministers of the Jin State were holding each other back.  And Yang Zilu alone can stand up to an army of 100,000 people.

    So when a war really breaks out, Jin's fighting power is like an open palm. Although Han's hand is a little thinner and smaller than Jin's, he can hold it and break Jin's fingers one by one, which will hurt.  Moreover, Han is closer to Qi than Jin, so it is most likely to start a war with Qi.

    At the same time, the Jin State also had four ministers to check each other, but this was not the case in the Han State.  In Han State, even Chu State dared to fight under Yang Zilu's order, let alone Qi State, which had gone through many civil strife.  Moreover, Yang Zilu likes to start wars and is simply a war maniac.  Look at how long the Han Kingdom has been established and how far its territory has expanded.

    Even if Tian Chang and Yang Zilu had an alliance before, let alone that thing that could not be seen in the light, even if it could be seen in the light, if Yang Zilu really broke it, what else could Tian Chang do to Yang Zilu?  So at this time, Tian Chang was really afraid that Han would take action on him.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Tian Chang wants to see me in Langxie?" Yang Zilu knocked on the wooden table in front of her and said slowly.

    "Yes, Your Majesty. Dazai (Tian Chang) originally wanted to come to Guangling City to see Your Majesty in person, but civil strife just broke out in Qi State, and Dazai had to stay in the country. I can only trouble Your Majesty." The envoy who came from Qi State said respectfully.  said.  When speaking, in order to show his respect, he lowered his head and looked at the floor while speaking.

    Yang Zilu pondered and did not give an answer immediately, seeming to be thinking about the pros and cons.  Before Yang Zilu could think of how to reply, an old roar came from outside.  Yang Zilu couldn't help but frowned and winked at Mang Gao.  Although he didn't say anything, how could Mang Gao, as a close confidant of Yang Zilu, not understand what Yang Zilu meant?

    Mang Gao bowed slightly towards Yang Zilu, then turned around, opened the wooden door of the palace, and walked out quickly.

    Without the cover of the wooden door, the sounds from outside came in more clearly. After listening carefully for a while, Yang Zilu knew who it was without waiting for Mang Gao to report.  Yang Zilu couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. At the same time, she also knew that Mang Gao couldn't handle this matter and would definitely come to him to solve the problem afterwards. Instead of doing that, it was better to go now.

    Yang Zilu said to the envoy sent by Tian Chang: "I'm sorry, it seems that there are some urgent matters that I have to deal with. Someone will take the envoy down to rest and he will be treated favorably."

    ¡°No,¡± the four Yulin Army soldiers responded, walked in from outside, bowed slightly to the envoy, made a gesture, and said: ¡°Doctor, please come with us.¡±

    "In this case, the foreign minister has resigned." The envoy heard what Yang Zilu said. Although he was a little reluctant, he still resigned honestly.

    Yang Zilu waved her hand and walked straight out of the palace.

    The envoy also followed him, but four Yulin Army soldiers guarded him loyally. Their large battle robes covered most of his figure, making it difficult for people to see him clearly.  But this does not prevent the messenger from observing what is happening outside from a narrow perspective.  I saw a tall old man wearing a gray and white loose robe roaring, his beard standing on end like a needle. Several Yulin Army soldiers stopped him with helpless expressions.

    The envoy listened carefully and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The old man spoke in Chinese (Putonghua), but the old man was not familiar with Chinese (Putonghua). This was due to the rapid rise of the Han Dynasty, so the envoy communicated with Yang Zilu in Vietnamese.  ???

    "Probably a veteran," the envoy thought. He didn't know that this matter had a lot to do with him.

    The envoy guessed wrong. This was not a veteran, but a great Confucian. The visitor was the famous Confucius. It was not a good thing for Confucius to come to Yang Zilu.

    "My lord, Tian Chang is unfaithful and unjust. Why do you still need to receive his envoy? I request my lord to immediately send troops to Qi to help bring justice to the world and bring peace to the world." When Confucius saw Yang Zilu, he restrained himself a little, but his tone remained the same.  It's so exciting.

    Yang Zilu immediately became depressed when he heard this. Are you really ignorant of politics or is he suffering from Alzheimer's disease?  In fact, when the news that Tian Chang killed Duke Jian of Qi reached Han five days ago, Confucius became excited.  Write a letter to Yang Zilu and persuade him to send troops to Qi State.

    Yang Zilu naturally would not agree. The current Han state was not suitable for war, so he sent Zigong and Zilu to persuade Confucius.  I just don¡¯t know how these two guys persuaded me, but they stopped writing and went directly to the Daming Palace.

    "Master, I have my own opinion on this matter. Master is old, so go down and have a good rest first. The country of Han still needs master to educate talents," Yang Zilu said with a sincere face.

    Confucius was confused by some questions, but he was still very smart at ordinary times.  (Nonsense, if you are not smart enough to be a master of more than 3,000 people, you can also teach saints like Zigong, Zilu, and Zengzi.)

    As soon as Confucius heard what Yang Zilu said, he knew that Yang Zilu was perfunctory with him. Yang Zilu did not intend to go to war with Qi. Confucius immediately became anxious and decided to throw out the bargaining chip he had come today in advance.  "My lord, I have contacted Sanhuan and Lord Lu of the state of Lu, asking them to attack the unfaithful and unjust Tian Chang. With my trust and my lord's sending troops, the Han Dynasty will definitely be able to get the support of the Lu army, which will make my lord's prestige great."  If it increases, it will surely become the foundation of Overlord.¡±

    Yang Zilu couldn't help but put her hand on her face. She really didn't know whether to call Confucius smart or stupid.  Calling him smart would give Yang Zilu incentives, calling him stupid.  Does he really think that he can get Lu to send troops with just one letter?

    Don¡¯t forget, Tian Chang has returned the land that Qi has occupied from Lu over the years to Lu. Lu is just a small country. Does he have the courage and ambition to push it even further?

    That means that it is not impossible for Yang Zilu to ask Lu to send troops. After all, Han and Lu will form an alliance.  Secondly, when it comes to the size of fists, Han's fists are much better than Qi's.  Thinking back to the time when the Qi State was at its peak, even Duke Huan of Qi was unable to defeat the Chu State, which was so miserable, with territories being ceded and vassals being made.  The Lu State does not think that it is more powerful than the Chu State. If Yang Zilu insists on it, the Lu State will definitely send troops, but I am afraid that the labor will not be effective, and there will be a lot of complaints against the Han State.

    ??????????????????????? Now the Han State is only a foreign power, but a cadre in the middle. How much manpower and material resources did the Han State consume in conquering the Chu State?  There is an old saying that it takes three years of good harvests to survive one year of famine, which means that only the food stored in three years of good harvests can survive one year of famine.  And war is also a disaster, what kind of disaster?  Military disaster

    In addition, the Han Dynasty developed too fast, and many of the soldiers under his command were composed of surrendered soldiers and new recruits. Needless to say, their combat effectiveness was average, and their centripetal force against the Han Dynasty was not strong.  There is also the hidden danger of Dong Chu and Chu State. Although Mu Ji of Dong Chu and Yang Zilu are actually married, Yang Zilu does not think that Dong Chu is stable.  Putting aside whether Mu Ji, an ambitious woman, would have thoughts that she shouldn't have, Shi Qi would definitely not be willing to let Yang Zilu devour Dong Chu step by step.

    There is also the State of Chu. Although King Chu Hui surrendered to Yang Zilu, he was just licking his wounds. If you really thought he surrendered, you would be out of luck.  Although the current King Chu Hui cannot be like Gou Jian who wants revenge all the time, if there is a chance to take revenge, King Chu Hui would not mind sending troops to Dong Chu while Yang Zilu's main force is restrained in Qi.

    Yang Zilu shook his head, invited Confucius to the palace, and said these words to Confucius.  However, Confucius was so naive that he actually said that Chu State would not dare to rebel because it was controlled by Qin State, Ba State, and Pu State.  As for Dongchu, doesn¡¯t it have an army of 110,000 under the control of Han Jiading?  food?  That¡¯s even simpler, just keep food to the enemy. It¡¯s August now, and we¡¯ll arrive in Qi State in September. The grain in Qi State¡¯s fields has matured. Aren¡¯t you afraid of running out of food?

    Yang Zilu was speechless upon hearing this and stopped talking nonsense to Confucius.  Those in the Qin State are just interested in the Han State. If you really expect them to die.  Han Jiading's 110,000 troops?  It has only been mastered for less than a year. If you really expected Han Jiading, Dong Chu would have rebelled long ago.  food?  Wouldn't Tian Chang follow Ye Gong's example and set fire to the grain?  Besides, if soldiers are drafted to fight and civilians are drafted to transport grain, will the grain in Han¡¯s own fields still be harvested?

    Yang Zilu¡¯s mind suddenly thought of a way to deal with Confucius.  Yang Zilu immediately said to Confucius with a serious face: "I have thought about what Master said, and it does make sense."

    ?"Your Majesty is really wise." Confucius immediately stroked his beard and smiled happily.  .
