The news coming from Yan State is not many words, but the content is quite rich.
There are mainly three things: first, the Beihai Tiger Dragon was convicted of treason; second, the Beihai clan did not kill the entire clan, and a considerable number of young people applied for blessings for the young master as slaves, and the matter became a
"Good talk"; thirdly, the State of Qi sent an envoy, and the envoy was Li Jie's old acquaintance, Guitian, the former sergeant of the State of Chen.
Li Jie was just a little surprised by the first two things, but he didn't care. As for how far the guard of the Suzhou Palace was playing, even if he was thousands of miles away, even if he wanted to do something, could he interfere?
The third thing made Commissioner Li feel amazing.
"This Chen Tian is a bit interesting. He found a rich woman in Anyi and became a rising star! Awesome!"
He patted his thigh and thought that he didn't understand why Guitian ran away at the beginning. In short, Guitian ran away to the Huaisi area. He only found out after Chen Guoxingzhe came to Huaizhong City.
Neither Guiyao nor Guizhen knew Guitian's motive for running away.
No one has said anything yet.
However, when Guida was on the run, there were not many people around her, and there was not much gold and silver.
Being able to quickly find a rich woman to turn around after living abroad is really awesome.
Anyway, Commissioner Li was thinking, even if he was working as a foreman, if he went abroad and became a gangster, he would be a gangster; if he had a legal status, he would just be a plumber or something, and then see if he has any complaints about loneliness.
The wife is good at what he says...
In short, he wanted to make a living just because of his appearance, but his strength did not allow it!
"You served as an official in Qi State, and then you went to Yan State at this time. Calculating the time, it should have been a month ago?"
The three territories that Qi wants to capture most right now are nothing more than three directions: east, west, and north.
To the south are the remnants of the Lai Kingdom. The Qi State has penetrated quite a lot. Without the intervention of the Wu State, it would not be difficult for the Qi State to "peacefully evolve" the Lai Kingdom.
When King Wu Wei was still alive, because the old monster once violently attacked the Marquis of Qi, "Wu Jia" took away hundreds of "martial arts" in one encounter. This caused the prestige of the Qi State to plummet on both sides of Ji and Si at that time.
Among the cornerstones of the old monster's reputation is the Marquis of Qi.
Now the old monster is dead, but Qi Hou wants to make a comeback, but the sequelae are still there.
"Peaceful evolution" of Lai State is unlikely. After the Duke of Wu State, they are now living in Lai State. With this relationship, if they really engage in a war of annihilation and sacrifice, Lai State directly sells itself to Wu State, Qi State will be really bad.
manage.
Therefore, even if the Marquis of Qi is over seventy and still has great ambitions, he can only bite the bullet and carve up Lai State with the sons of Yiyang Jun Jixuan, and gradually expand the strength of Qi State through cannibalization.
Only by cooperating with Ji Xuan's sons can the Lai Kingdom not completely fall to the Wu Kingdom, but instead have to secretly break with the Wu Kingdom because of the existence of Ji Xuan's sons.
You don't have the guts to openly challenge Wu Guo.
After all, during the first Biyang War, a Jiangyin animal wanted to flatter the old monster and directly shouted, "Anyone who openly offends Wu will be punished no matter how far away he is."
The key point lies in the word "clearly committed". To put it bluntly, it was committed secretly. In order to save costs and reduce expenses, Wu Guo turned a blind eye and tolerated it.
If you challenge someone publicly, if you can't save face, you will have to do it to death.
When countries are at war, don't they just eat, drink, extort and extort for their own good?
When a big country loses the qualification to show off its face, it means it has truly become a subpar country.
The Qin State was forced so miserably by the Jin State, and even had the feat of "Qin Hou dominating the Xirong". In order to find a way out, he even opened the Yaochi Trade Road. The place where the militants among the elites of the clan are most willing to improve their achievements is
Western Region.
This long-term policy also allowed the Qin State to maintain considerable fighting experience. Although it was still unable to defeat the Jin State, its vigor was still there and it still had the courage to fight in the east.
The first country to become a hegemon was Qi. Commissioner Li would not believe that a country that had been a hegemon would suddenly forget its former glory.
Even now, Qi is still the overlord of the East China Sea.
In a word, Qi has the final say whether Mount Tai will be in chaos or not!
Now that Li Jie saw that Qi State actually recruited Sergeant Chen Guo for his own use and relied heavily on him, he entrusted the mission to such an "outsider".
This not only shows the openness and inclusiveness of Qi State, but also shows that Qi State wants to do something out of the "civil strife" in Yan State.
Regarding its southern neighbors, Qi used the method of "cannibalization" to expand.
For old friends in the north, it is like "devouring them like whales"!
Separated by a vast wilderness, both sides of the Yellow River have long been the territory of Qi State, and the cities in the north have pushed past the former Changdi tribes.
In addition, Qi State used "salt and iron" as an excuse to devour all the Changdi Za tribe at the mouth of the Yellow River, and then opened up a large number of salt fields in the northern cities.
For Wei and Yan, it is quite uncomfortable to be stuck in this ghost place. As long as Qi is willing, it is quite easy to go north and south.
It's just that it's hard to say whether we should break up with the Yan State and seize the territory. The "temple plan" must be done first. As for the high-risk work of going on an envoy test in the cold winter, our own people must feel a little distressed.
It happened that Gui Tian, a foreigner, came to submit his resume. His resume was pretty good and he had rich diplomatic experience. He had also participated in two forced Yang battles and one Cai Guo Punishment War. He looked like an old man.
Such talents are most suitable to be put to use.
Even if we don't investigate for a while, he may die in Yan State... So what's the pity?
After all, it was the foreigners who died.
The Marquis of Qi had a good idea. Guitian was lucky enough to go to Yan State as an envoy. He had a thorough understanding of the situation in Yan State. When the time came, he would have the confidence to seize Yan State's southern sphere of influence.
This was bad luck. After all, it was a matter of a messenger. If Guitian died, he could cut off his head and pickle it, and then send it to Huaizhong City to let Li Jie "cool off his anger."
Anyway, in the eyes of the Marquis of Qi, Guitian must have offended Li Jie and fled to Qi.
A man born with high-quality tools, it’s a pleasure to use.
"Guitian shouldn't be that stupid. He is willing to help Qi State? He was not loyal in Chen State, but he became loyal when he came to Qi State. Who believes this? It cannot be said that Qi State's Feng Shui is good, so he went to Qi State
, and become loyal and virtuous?”
In fact, Commissioner Li is not very clear about the details, but it was mentioned that Gui Tian tried to contact Wu Shui and his party in Yan State.
It seems that there are some conditions to talk to the mastermind behind Wu Shui and others. Although Wu Shui and others said that they came out of Yan country thanks to the funding of Jiang Yinzi, the fierce man ordered by the king, Guitian obviously did not believe it.
Guitian didn't know that Wu Shui and others didn't lie. This was the truth. At that time, Commissioner Li really couldn't stand Wu Shui and his gang, so he casually gave them some money and asked them to go to the north to make trouble with the Xing people.
At first I was thinking that since the Xing Kingdom was destroyed, Wu Shui and his gang couldn't find any clues.
Who would have thought that the guards of the Suzhou Palace were really not built, but with a little luck, they actually caught the clues.
For a moment, I didn’t know whether I should say it was a fluke or a stroke of luck.
However, Guitian obviously had a small agenda when he wanted to negotiate terms with the mastermind behind Wu Shui's gang.
"With the support of the rich woman in Anyi, Guitian is not short of money. After all, he is a guest in Qi State. He is not familiar with the place. He has to be careful in hiring people in order to gain a firm foothold in Qi State..."
After thinking about it, Guida's current situation is probably that a handsome guy with a large amount of entrepreneurial capital from a wealthy woman has gone to a place with simple and simple folk customs comparable to Gotham City. If there are no helpers around, let's not say whether the capital can be saved.
It's possible for a handsome guy with such good looks to have an asshole.
"What is this grandson going to do?!"
Commissioner Li rubbed his chin, thinking that Gui Tian was a "blessed man". Every time he was around, he would always send a stunning beauty to him. She was his lucky moon.
"Do you want to help me connect people again and send girls and equipment?"
Fortunately, Guoda is not the leading actor in Wang Dao's works.
Unable to figure out Guitian's behavior, Commissioner Li didn't think too much about it. Anyway, the people of Qi had always wanted to see him, and it was a good opportunity to find out what Qi's plans were in Yan.
When the two snake spirits of Chen State heard that Shang Shitian was still alive, they were quite shocked, especially "Little Peach Blossom Girl", who actually looked very grateful: "Although I don't know why Chen Tian ran away to a foreign country, but...
Traveling between Jianghuai and Jianghuai is indeed worthy of the word 'loyalty in service'."
Li Jie, who was hugging Gui Zhen and groping around, thought, how could this guy still evaluate someone as "loyal in service" after selling his master's daughter twice in a row?
Then I, who always want to be the "Grand Master Dong and Prime Minister Cao" of the Kingdom of Wu, can't I evaluate an "unparalleled national scholar"?!
