Even though Zhiyao led troops and was stationed in "Cui", the Qi State still did not stop the melee. Either the internal contradictions in the Qi State were too great, or the deterrent effect of Zhi's only one "division" was not enough.
In fact, there is another explanation. For example, the Qi State is not worried about being destroyed due to civil strife. They believe that no matter how ruthless the Zhi family is, they will only take advantage of it.
[To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it is available on both Android and Apple.]
That kind of thinking cannot be said to be naive or absurd. The size of Qi State is not small. It is not a small vassal state with a population of tens of thousands and an area of one county. How can it not be annexed at once? They also want to solve the internal problems quickly.
, and then have enough energy to deal with the outside world.
Zhishi's troops stopped at "Cui" and did not move, which increased the confidence of all forces in Qi. It cannot be said that they are confident, but they simply believe that Zhishi is also playing tricks on rats.
After all, the current era is like that, and many situations have their own characteristics.
Zhi wants to intervene in the civil strife in Qi, but many people think it is impossible without a stepping stone.
"The begging in the field may have been successful. Qi Juntu got the help of the princes, and the princes were afraid and did not dare to attack again." Fu Li had just come from 'Linzi' to 'Cui' to meet the prince Zhiyao.
It sounds strange, right? Even though Tian Qi’s reputation has become bad, he can still roam around, and many people are willing to continue to trust him.
Could it be that the Zhi family and the Lu state had limited the power of public opinion, or were the people of Qi aware that external forces were guiding public opinion, and instead believed that Tian Qi was innocent?
Looking at something from a standpoint will indeed lead to preconceptions. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible!
If that really happens, things will become extremely funny and full of uncertainties.
Zhiyao looked puzzled and said, "Qi Juntu, don't you think Tian Qi is a life-saving straw?"
The allusion about "life-saving straw" hadn't happened yet. Those who heard Zhiyao say that were stunned for a moment, and then they realized what it meant after tasting it.
If they remembered correctly, Tian Qi had been closest to Gongzi Yangsheng before, and Bao Mu was also from Gongzi Yangsheng's group.
Then, Qi Juntu must have lost his memory, forgetting Tian Qi's previous dislike for him and his continuous small actions.
Sima Ranju sighed and said: "Qi Juntu was weak and lacked wisdom when he was the crown prince, and there were no wise men around him. It is not surprising that he trusts Tian Qi."
It sounds like Qi Juntu is a very sad person?
Zhiyao said to Sima Ranju: "Why don't you trust Qi Jun to fulfill your kindness?"
It was obvious that Tian Qi wanted to continue causing trouble, but Qi Juntu still gave Tian Qi a lot of trust. Once some of Tian Qi's plots were realized, the winner of Qi's civil strife would be Young Master Yangsheng.
Qi Jinggong was kind to Sima Ranju, and Sima Ranju warned the prince appointed by Qi Jinggong. Later, Zhiyao helped Qi put down the rebellion. This meant that Sima Ranju repaid Qi Jinggong's kindness, and Qi also owed Zhi.
The great kindness of God.
Sima Ranju knew that Zhi Yao had bad intentions for Qi State, but he did not feel any disgust because of Zhi Yao's suggestion.
From the perspective of the country, no one can blame the other for scheming against each other. If we do, we should blame ourselves for being deceived by our limited IQ.
From a personal point of view, Zhiyao suggested that Sima Ranju remind Qi Juntu as a positive function, which can prevent Qi Juntu from being plotted by Tian Qi.
Therefore, Zhiyao's "killing two birds with one stone" can be regarded as a positive and a negative, fulfilling the plan at the national level and allowing Sima Ranju to repay Qi Jinggong's kindness.
Sima Ranju decided to write a letter to remind Qi Juntu. As for whether Qi Juntu believed it or not... he could only leave it to fate.
At present, the state of Qi is generally divided into five forces, and Qi Juntu is definitely one of them. Next, Gongzi Yangsheng will be alone, Gongzi Shou, Gongzi Ju, and Gongzi Qian will join forces, and Gongzi Zao will form his own group.
It's a family that is at a loss and doesn't know what to do.
From a common sense point of view, Qi Juntu is already the king, so he should be the strongest one, right? In reality, that is not the case. It seems that the strongest ones are the combination of Gongzi Shou, Gongzi Ju and Gongzi Qian.
Next comes the wave of Gongzi Yangsheng, and the weakest one is Gongzi Chan.
To determine the strength of the four forces in Qi, we need to first look at the mother clan of each prince, and then look at where their food towns are.
If there is a power distribution map, it can be found that Gongzi Shou, Gongzi Ju and Gongzi Qian have occupied half of Qi State, almost including the land that originally belonged to Lai State; Gongzi Yangsheng has occupied a large area downstream of Jishui River.
, almost controlling the high-yield textile area of Qi State; Gongzi Zawo is in the southwest corner of Qi State, which is the area that originally belonged to Jie State; as Qi Jun's Tu, his control area was cut into pieces.
There were some things that Zhiyao did not mention to Sima Ranju. For example, the State of Lu had decided to support Prince Yangsheng, Prince Shou, Prince Ju and Prince Qian were seeking support from the State of Wu.
Of course, regardless of the state of Lu or the state of Wu..., or it may be said that the state of Lu will only keep supporting the young master Yangsheng secretly, and then show it off when the overall situation is decided one day; the state of Wu is different, they will definitely do it.
He loudly publicized the matter of Gongzi Shou, Gongzi Ju and Gongzi Qian seeking his help.
That is to say, as long as the Wu State intervenes, the civil strife in the Qi State will be regarded as involving external forces, and it is no longer a simple civil strife.
Zhiyao didn't say anything, Sima Ranju could make his own judgment based on some information.
Sima Ranju said: "The Kingdom of Wu is a barbarian country. Young Master Shou, Young Master Ju and Young Master Qian are now so powerful that they will be defeated in an instant."
This means don’t think that Gongzi Shou, Gongzi Ju and Gongzi Qian now seem to be powerful. If they just take the initiative to let Wu State intervene, the people of Qi State must not be on their side. No matter how long the civil strife in Qi State lasts, even Gongzi Shou, Gongzi Qian will be affected.
Ju and Prince Qian were victorious this time, but they would soon lose their power, and someone else would take over as the leader of Qi State.
Is this really the case? Not only did Gongzi Shou, Gongzi Ju and Gongzi Qian seek help from the state of Wu, it should be said that judging from relevant historical examples, the kings who were supported by other princes generally had their butts unsteady.
Not to mention that the State of Wu is a very special country. Once the forces supported by the State of Wu win the final victory over the civil strife in Qi, the State of Qi will definitely be defeated. Moreover, the State of Wu will continue to demand Qi State again and again, which will inevitably make Qi State
Civil strife broke out again in the country.
Sima Ranju saw that what she wanted to express was so obvious, but Zhiyao still looked like she was thinking, and she began to have a bad feeling in her heart.
"I want to help Qi Juntu, but no envoys come?" Zhiyao said.
Zhishi helps everyone the same. What Zhiyao wants to do more is to dance to the song "Swing Together", but it's very difficult to do it.
Although it is now the late Spring and Autumn Period, and the ceremony has collapsed, the person is already very happy, but the basic credibility cannot be easily destroyed. Maintaining a good reputation has only advantages and no disadvantages. Even if you may suffer a loss for a while, it will always be easier to get help if you don't die all at once.
Of course, it’s hard to say how long Zhiyao’s thinking... or how long he can maintain this style of behavior.
Don’t you see, the lingering traces of the Six Kingdoms remain, and Qin’s violence leads to confusion within the universe?
In that era of unscrupulous means, the six countries still pursued ancient etiquette in doing things, but they talked about benevolence, justice and morality among each other, but some of the things they did were full of filth. It would be strange to fight against Qin without being beaten to death.
Zhiyao adheres to the concept of "adapting to the times and circumstances, and adapting to changes". No matter what the mainstream of society is, Zhiyao will try his best to pretend to be gregarious with everyone. The standard of conduct is not to be the worst one, and always be the only one.
Be the second worst.
Another month passed, and all the forces in Qi State still refused to play with Zhishi, leaving Zhiyao herself speechless.
I just don’t have a plan, right?
Zhiyao simply sent troops to attack "Li" and once again robbed a city on the north bank of Jishui, announcing his presence in this way.
The result made Zhiyao very disappointed. Even though the fall of "Li" was still ignored by all the forces in Qi, they still had a great time on their own.
"Your Majesty, Qi Juntu wants to use Rangju's words to make the Zhi family a teacher." Sima Rangju found Zhiyao and said this.
In fact, Zhiyao has already figured out one thing: Qi State doesn't care about the north bank of Jishui River at all. As long as Zhishi's troops don't cross Jishui River in large numbers to the south bank, it will be difficult to stimulate all the forces in Qi State.
In contrast, the State of Lu had already captured two cities in the State of Qi, which was more able to attract the attention of all forces in the State of Qi.
Zhiyao wanted to say something, but Ji Sunfei's cry for permission came from outside.
Ji Sunfei left earlier and went to Mount Tai. Later, the State of Lu regained "Yangqiao", a city that had been taken away by the State of Qi.
The Lu army's recovery of "Yangqiao" did not go through a war, but was more like a peaceful takeover. The reason was that Yang Sheng, the son of Qi State, first transferred back the Qi nobles in "Yangqiao".
In the other direction, a bloody battle broke out when the Lu army recovered "Long Shao".
That is, even though the Qi State was in civil strife, no one transferred the Qi nobles and garrison forces of "Long Shao". The Lu army only took over the "Long Shao" garrisoned by 2,000 Qi troops with more than 10,000 casualties.
Now, Ji Sunfei came to Zhiyao and mentioned that Lu's next target would be "Ai Ling" and asked Zhiyao to mobilize some people from the Gongshu clan to support him.
"Ai Ling?" Zhiyao remembered something.
If Zhiyao remembers correctly, there was indeed a "Battle of Ai Ling" in history. The background was that the State of Wu went north, and the State of Lu formed an alliance with the State of Wu, and joined forces to annihilate the State of Qi in "Ai Ling"
An army of 100,000 people.
Zhiyao also asked Ji Sunfei, "Wu is going north again?"
Ji Sunfei was obviously stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard about this."
So what happened? It was the State of Qi that first took "Ai Ling" from the State of Lu. Later, the State of Lu took "Ai Ling" back and asked the State of Qi to send troops again. It happened that the Wu army went north, and the State of Lu formed an alliance with the State of Wu.
Shall we deal with Qi Jun together?
Zhiyao will definitely not return the Gongshu clan to Lu, even if it is only a part of it.
"I want to go south!" Zhiyao was deceiving Ji Sunfei.
I haven’t seen enough of the show, so what’s going on in the south?
Ji Sunfei's face became a little strange, and he hesitated to speak for a while...
