What Qi paid was a princess, while Lu gave a king.
The princess must be sent away, and the king must die!
The victim was Lu Hou.
The murderer, Ji Qing.
The melon-eating masses, Qi Lu Shi doctor.
On the date of the incident, the man Li Jie had a banquet with Princess Wenjiang that night.
"The Han Kingdom captured all eleven cities, large and small, without spending a single soldier. Alas..."
"Why do you sigh? These eleven cities are just the hometown of the Zhu Kingdom, so why bother about them."
"Haha, why bother..."
After the night banquet, the people of Lu were indeed relieved, but it was not a time of peace and quiet.
They will be busy next, busy fighting for power and profit, busy carving up the remaining land of Lu.
The Duke of Lu might be about to die, so after bidding farewell, he had to quickly return to Qufu to compete for the upcoming benefits.
As for the people of Qi, with Li Jie's promise and Li Jie's threats, the Qi army's looting will stop here.
At dawn, no one in Qi would be willing to take risks.
The people of Chu know best what will happen to Li Jieyang if he disobeys the truth.
What the Lu people care about now is no longer what happens on the battlefield.
"I know your intention. It is just to offer eleven cities today so that you can have a good night's rest. If war breaks out again, how many more cities can the Lu Kingdom contribute? Is that right?"
"Yes! So what?"
"You think deeply about the country, and I admire you very much. But..."
The person who answered looked at the other person solemnly and said, "In the four corners of the world, where is there no strife or country without war? The current general trend in the world is a time of great strife, a world of warring states!"
After saying this, the man solemnly said: "At that time, the emperor of Han said he would "unify the world", and the ministers in Luo Jing tried their best to ridicule him. Today, the emperor's expansion of territory is nothing more than the work of a man. The power of the Han army is greater than that of Luoyi.
The city wall cannot be said to be weak; there is the danger of Luo River; there is China's wealth, how can it be blocked?"
"Today, Luoyi is nothing more than something in the Han Dynasty's pocket that can be taken at any time."
The situation is like this, no matter how hard you argue, it's useless.
For other countries, your strong persuasion and clarifying the priorities of things may seem to have some effect, but for the Han Dynasty, it is meaningless.
During a night banquet, Li Jie ignored the nonsense of the Qilu envoys and just chatted happily with Princess Wenjiang under the curtain.
Li Jie, a man, doesn't care about etiquette or etiquette.
As long as the interests of both parties are negotiated, this wild dog that appears from nowhere outside Gusu City will not care about dignity at all.
Everyone gets what he needs, and everyone gets what he needs.
"Can Han really annex other countries?"
"Can the Gusu barbarians really rule the country?"
"this……"
"Oh, at that time, when Yang Ju was the official of Biyang, he thought that the savages from the south could not achieve anything. Did he ever think that it was this savage who defeated both the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, so the Sishui River was the one driving him. Now that he is fighting for the great city of Si, only Fu
It’s just a city, why come to Shangqiu or Qufu?”
"well……"
"You don't have to sigh, it's a blessing to have this result!"
"..."
After thinking about it for a while, the man who was worried about the future of the Lu Kingdom sighed again, just raised his hand and saluted, and said no more.
There is nothing to say. The actual situation is just like this. It is impossible for the Lu State to recover its losses.
By spitting out the homeland of Zhu State, a large piece of the sacred land of Lu State was lost.
The entire elite area east of Surabaya fell under the control of the Han Kingdom.
From a traditional perspective, the territory of the Hanzi Kingdom is a bit too prominent in the Central Plains and is easily vulnerable to attack.
But the problem is that the Song Dynasty ceded Xiaocheng at the same time.
Peixian County and Xiaocheng are both in the hands of the Han Dynasty, which is a completely different concept.
In addition, Hanzi Kingdom had already begun to build Longbei Pass and dredged the river, and Suishui already had considerable transportation capacity.
With the efficiency of forced marches and hasty marches, the Han army marched lightly and could pull out a fresh force to reach Xiaocheng and Peixian County in one day.
Moreover, the current economic landscape of Jisi is abnormal, and Fucheng is the real trade center of Jisi.
The entire Third Ring Road of water transportation in Fucheng, international traders traveling from south to north, as long as they want to make a big deal, will choose Fucheng.
Because water transport has the highest transport capacity, and Fucheng has absorbed a large number of immigrants.
Unlike other large cities, Fucheng is very open. Many escaped slaves would choose to escape here after finding out the direction of Fucheng.
If you don’t have an identity, just create a new one.
Although they will be supervised, as long as they can create value, even if they have only one strength, they can make a living in Fucheng.
A large number of docks and livestock markets require temporary workers.
As long as temporary workers do not die of illness, they will not starve to death.
The population absorbed by Fucheng, especially the lower-class population, far exceeds the imagination of the Qilu country.
And these are difficult to reverse, because "Shirasa Azabu" is distributed here, "Aka" is distributed here, pottery, porcelain, and lacquerware are distributed here, and strange furniture, weapons, and kitchen utensils are distributed here.
No agency would go crazy and think about going somewhere to compete with Fucheng.
There is no way he is an opponent.
Fucheng's developed and mature water transportation technology and organization have allowed a large number of international business gangs to save money.
Compared with land transportation, the transportation cost is not even a fraction.
The biggest expense is nothing more than the trackers under countercurrent conditions.
These realities, these situations, whether there is this Qi-Lu War, are all known to the people of Lu.
It is impossible to compete with Fucheng in Qufu, it will be a dead end.
Unless Qufu has a way to eliminate Fucheng, but the leader of Fucheng is Yang Ju, who has connections in the Lu State, and the Yang family relies on Yang Ju to make a fortune, and uses Yang Ju's position to facilitate the growth of the family, how can it be possible to just watch?
Watching Lu Guo try to hinder Fu Cheng?
What's more, the real big boss behind Fu Cheng is Li Jie.
This dog won't reason with you at all. As long as you have some calculations and know who is scheming, then fight!
There is no need for iron-clad proof, only free-spirited proof.
The more you understand, the clearer it becomes.
The knowledgeable people among the senior officials of the Lu State saw that the monarch was so picky and wanted to play tricks on Han Ziguo. This kind of behavior would not lead the Lu State and the nobles of the Lu State to the abyss.
There are other results.
In fact, this is also the case. If Li Jie had not come out to mediate this time and asked Guitian to withdraw his troops, the military disaster in the entire Lu State would have continued for a while.
This continued until the Qi army had had enough and no longer wanted to rob it, and finally stopped.
At that time, various large and small garrison forces were probably formed in the major cities of Lu State.
These garrison forces are easy to form and difficult to dismantle.
He has the merit of protecting the environment and the people, and has the virtue of protecting the family and the country. Merit and virtue are two words, and it is impossible not to reward him generously.
Even if the temporarily formed Acropolis militia had to be disbanded, would the gold, silver, and silk be enough?
Not even one less horse will do.
But where does this money come from?
No, we still have to go back to the original starting point and persuade the monarch, Marquis Lu, to pay, and pay generously.
This is difficult or even impossible, so there is no need to think too much.
Precisely because all the causes and consequences, as well as all the variables and possibilities, were calculated clearly and clearly, the elites of Lu State could quickly reach a consensus.
Send the Marquis of Lu to death, and select the candidates who will take the blame. The people of Qi are satisfied with this candidate, the people of Han are satisfied, and the people of Lu are also satisfied. Everyone is satisfied, so why bother anymore?
It is only right to go and get a good night's sleep.
