Winter turned to spring, and it was not until late spring that the news of the alliance between the Zhi, Wei and Han families of Jin spread far enough, and the countries that had originally received the news began to ferment.
The alliance oath between the Zhi family, the Wei family and the Han family can be regarded as a mutual agreement, which to a great extent avoided the outbreak of civil war again.
The princes who have been looking forward to another civil war in the Jin Kingdom don't know whether they should believe in the agreement between the Zhi family, the Wei family and the Han family, or whether they should follow the previous agreement between Zhao Yang and the other families that "the one who caused the trouble will die".
What's it like? It's just that Zhao Yang made an agreement with other families, but turned around and acted in a showy way.
The first one to take action was the State of Zheng. On one side they sent envoys to the State of Chu and the State of Wu, and on the other side they suddenly invaded the State of Song.
In fact, the State of Zheng has been catching the State of Song in the past few years. Even when the State of Jin was invading the State of Zheng, the State of Zheng did not stop invading the State of Song.
This time it was a little different. The Zheng State was no longer in power in Handa to gain a fiefdom for its beauties, but was pursuing expansion in the direction of the Song State, allowing Zheng State to have deeper strategic depth under the invasion of the Jin State or Chu State.
Zheng State invaded Song State? According to the agreement, the dynamics in the south had nothing to do with the Zhi family. The problem was that Song State sent envoys to Jin State.
The Song envoy did not visit Jinjun Zhe, nor did he seek help or cooperation from the Wei family. Instead, he came to Zhishi with a clear goal and said, "Uncle, save me."
In fact, it is unreasonable but reasonable for the Song Dynasty to do this. Zhishen currently holds the position of "Yuan Rong", and the Zhi family has two ministerial positions. No matter how you look at the Jin State, the Zhi family has the final say. The problem lies with the Zhi family, and Wei
The Han family and the Han family had just made an oath not long ago, and at the same time, the Song Dynasty was not within the scope of the oath of the three ministerial families.
Wei Ju knew that when the Song envoy came to "Xintian", he immediately went to Zhi's house, and also knew what the Song envoy was doing.
If Wei Ju is unhappy with Song's actions, he really can't find a reason. What's the reason? When a country's envoys come to Jin to talk about things, who else can they turn to if they don't go to "Yuanrong"? The procedure will be difficult to pass in the first place
.
One day, Wei Ju received an invitation from Zhiyao. He was stunned for a moment, then showed a happy expression and said to the people around him: "Zhi is trustworthy, and Yao can be trusted."
Among the various people on the left and right, those who responded quickly told the reasons to the others who were still confused.
After everyone listened, they naturally would not be stingy in praising Zhishi.
Wei Ju came to Lao Zhi's house with great enthusiasm. As expected, he saw that the Song envoy was also present, and the smile on his face became wider.
"Ju, this is a scorpion." Zhiyao recommended.
Wei Ju had already found out who was coming from the Song Dynasty.
This man's name is Xiang Mao. He is the younger brother of Xiang Chao, the left master of the Song Dynasty. He saluted and said, "Meet Jin Qing."
Even if Wei Ju was just giving Zhi Yao face, he could not treat Xiang Yu coldly. He sat down after returning the greeting.
"The envoy from the Song Dynasty is here to attack Zheng Guo's innocence. Yao thought it would be most appropriate to leave it to Ju to contact him." Zhiyao said straight to the point.
What is the fact? Zhishi has very clear strategic goals and will mess around everywhere when the time comes.
Currently, the Zhi family's management strategy for the Qi country is at a critical stage, and their remaining newly occupied territories are also in the digestion stage, not to mention that the second five-year plan is in progress.
Under such circumstances, Zhiyao had little interest in participating in the dispute between Song and Zheng, especially since there might be a big pit in it, and she decided not to jump into it.
The Zhi family has made an oath to the Wei family and the Han family. There is no too specific treaty. It is simply an agreement on the expansion direction of the three families. Not messing around means keeping promises to increase mutual trust. It may also put the Wei family into a big pit.
Why not?
Of course, whether there is a trap or not, before the trap is discovered, regardless of whether Wei jumped in actively or passively, it is not Zhi's fault whether she was tricked or not.
After all, even without Zhi's introduction, how could Wei not participate?
If the Zhi family had to get involved in the dispute between the Song and Zheng states, the Wei family would be even more repelled and unhappy. The Zhi family had already taken the initiative to avoid it. Is it appropriate to blame the Zhi family if something happened to the Wei family?
"You two, please help yourself." Zhiyao stood up and left after saying that.
Last year, or the year before that? The Song State lent the road to the Chu State, and one hundred thousand Chu troops entered the Song State, and fifty thousand were sent to "Yanling" to fight the Wei family.
In the current international situation, it is no longer just a matter of borrowing roads. Countries have also changed from building cities to express local sovereignty to issues related to confirming sovereignty based on the signs of mountains, rivers and rivers.
I believe that in the near future, boundary markers will be built and erected on various roads to express to all countries that crossing the boundary markers will enter their own territory.
Don't underestimate the appearance of boundary monuments, it means that Zhuxia has entered a new era. Countries are not the kind of time where cities that are not close to a certain country are not considered to have crossed the border.
Precisely because the times were in a stage of change, the Song State was still willing to lend the road to the Chu Army, which proved that the two countries definitely had a need for cooperation.
So, the Song State and the Chu State have achieved a certain degree of mutual trust. Why did the Chu State, which already had a foundation of mutual trust, not ask for help this time, but would seek help from the Jin State, whose relationship had once broken down? This is what Zhiyao thinks.
A pit.
"Both Chu and Wu intervened in the disputes between Zheng and Song. If Zheng and Song were at war, it might turn into a four-nation war."
"The Chu State hated the Zheng State because of Duke Bai, so it was necessary to join forces with the Song Dynasty to attack Zheng State."
"The Wu State has no intention of going north in the short term. It also needs to win over the Song State and does not want the Zheng State to weaken."
"If there is only one country united with the Song Dynasty, everything will be possible."
"If Chu and Wu both want to win over Song, but things don't work out, Song may become Chu and Wu's enemy."
"This is the vitality of the Zheng State. How could the kings and ministers of the Zheng State remain inactive?"
Zaiyu was talking. He returned to Jin more than two months ago and continued to serve the Zhi family. During this period, the Zhi family noticed that there was something unusual in Zheng State, so Zhiyao sent the eloquent Zaiyu to the Song Dynasty.
There are changes in the Zheng State, but the Zhi family is paying attention to the Song State? This method of operation seems strange, but as long as you understand that Zheng Guo is targeting the Song State, and then look at Zhiyao's arrangement, things will make sense.
There is still a disciple working for the Zhi family in the south, and that is Zigong, who was once responsible for the affairs of the Yue Kingdom for the Zhi family.
These disciples were interesting. After attending the funeral of Confucius, Yan Hui and other disciples who pursued morality decided to stay and watch the funeral, while the rest of the disciples who had their own pursuits dispersed.
Zigong, Zaiyu, Ran You, Zixia, Ziyou and others came to Jin and decided to perform in various ways on the stage given by Zhishi.
Zilu and some of his disciples decided to stay in Lu and shine.
Some people also went to Song, Wu, Qi, Chu and other countries to show their talents on the stage given by princes or titled officials.
It must be said clearly that the situation of the disciples is much better than that of the original history. In the original history, only a small number of disciples were able to get the stage, and most were not hired; but in this version of history, Zhishi reused his disciples, and Zhishi
The rise of the emperor was so fast that many princes were still willing to use disciples for a while, but then it became clear that the appointed disciples were no longer useful.
Regardless of Zhiyao's impression of his disciples, just use his talents. Why worry about other things?
So, Zilu came to Zhishi to return the city and everything else. Although Zhiyao did not go out in person, he still gave him a way to make it easy to get together and disperse.
I heard that Zilu also became a titled doctor in the State of Lu, but he was still a vassal of the Jisun family in Sanhuan?
Zhiyao's attention to Zilu will continue for several years. Once Zilu uses Zhishi's knowledge in the various constructions of Lu State, it will be the day that Zhishi sends troops to Lu State.
"So, Zheng Guo is troubled." Zhiyao said nonsense.
Isn't it precisely because he sensed that trend that Zhishi didn't want to meddle in others' affairs? Otherwise, even if Zhishi needed to deal with Qi State and had other matters to be busy with, it wouldn't be completely impossible for him to get involved.
Zaiyu said with a smile: "If the Wei family interferes, the five countries will be entangled."
Zhiyao is willing to bet 50 cents, and the situation should evolve into Chu State, the Wei family unites with Song State to deal with the alliance of Wu State and Zheng State, and then Zheng State will once again become a battlefield where each other is fighting.
With the participation of Chu and Wu, it is impossible to settle the situation just by relying on the Wei family. In the future, the other families of Jin will inevitably contribute. At that time, it will no longer depend on the Wei family's own wishes, and there will definitely be conflicts among the Zhi family, Wei family and Han family.
A hole was opened in the family's oath.
This is the embarrassment of not being strong enough to cope with the situation. You obviously have all the power to handle it, but in the end you have to actively invite others to participate. Not only do you lose face, but you also lose your dignity completely.
There is no doubt that the current Wei family will never be able to hold either Chu or Wu alone. Inviting the Han family will definitely not be regarded as the first option by the Wei family. Only with the participation of the most powerful Zhi family can the tripod be determined.
Possibly, doesn't it mean that Zhi got the ticket to interfere with Wei's internal and external affairs?
Zhiyao will not disclose her plans to anyone. Even if those involved in the matter guess it, they must keep their mouths tight enough. Otherwise, due to the importance of the layout, the current situation that will arise in the future must not be blamed on Zhiyao for being indifferent.
speak.
"The current state of Wu is far beyond what the state of Yue can challenge. Should we seduce the state of Wu in the state of Qi so that Gou Jian can take advantage of it?" Zhiyao was thinking about this issue recently.
The current state of Qi has become a mess. The Zhengshuo faction headed by Qi Junwan and the rebel faction headed by Tian Qi are fighting fiercely, which has further led to the tragic situation of the people of Qi State being in dire straits.
Under that current situation, many Qi people moved into the Zhishi's sphere of influence. On the one hand, the Zhishi continued to increase their population, but on the other hand, the public security gradually deteriorated.
Zhiyao selected a considerable number of new sapiens from Qi State to serve as village chiefs, and their effect has been demonstrated time and again.
The group of new Homo sapiens who have obtained the channels for advancement, they are more important than anyone else in the stability of the current situation. They not only use their new life to give more "fellow villagers" the hope of life in the Chi family, but they are also the vanguard in suppressing all kinds of dissatisfaction.
.
The most interesting thing is this group of new Homo sapiens. They are more anxious than anyone else to completely annex Qi. They use various channels to repeatedly advise the top leaders of the Zhi family. Anyway, every day they think that the time has come to send troops.
Zhiyao needs to be encouraged and suppressed when facing that kind of situation. It can be regarded as pain and happiness at the same time, right?
"Either we wait for the completion of the second five-year plan, or else Qi Junyi or Tian Qi will fall, or the Tian family will recover. When one of the three situations occurs, it is the right time to send troops!"
