Chapter 387: Frightened a country, scared a cry(1/2)
Lu Wu knew that the piece of land he wanted did not belong to Qi.
That place is the territory of Lai Kingdom.
The Lai Kingdom was a country with the Dongyi system and only surrendered to the Zhou royal family.
Lu Wu had his own reasons for doing that.
The State of Lu obviously cannot beat the State of Qi.
The State of Lu took advantage of the situation when Jin invaded Qi and drifted, and turned his head and overturned his car.
Qi State was taught a lesson from Jin State, and there was no place to vent its grievances and anger in its stomach.
Usually, Qi State likes to eat, sleep and fight against Lu State if he has nothing to do.
This time, Lu took advantage of the crisis of Qi to join in the fun.
We can't beat Jin State, but we can't beat you, Low?
Brothers, search the guys!
Lu Wu really felt that Lu Congress was beaten up by Qi.
He thought that Lu would not be destroyed, but it would inevitably make Qi rich.
That would not be in line with the interests of Jin State.
Is Lai Guo strong or something?
They are on the east side of Qi State.
Lu Wu wants that peninsula.
Cui Zhu, on behalf of Qi State, agreed to Lu Wu's request and must fulfill his promise.
In this way, Qi needs to help Lu Wu capture the peninsula first before he can find time to teach Lu a lesson.
Whether Qi can defeat Lai or not is nothing to do with Lu Wu's business.
It became a certain fact that Lu Wu would have to go to war against Lai.
If Lu State is not stupid, there will be more places to operate.
To form an alliance with Lai Kingdom and then call Ju Kingdom to form a war against Qi Kingdom three times, it will be the best choice.
If Lu had enough skills and called Qi, and several other countries bordering Qi, they would form a small alliance, and if they could not defeat Qi, they could form a confrontation?
Once Qi is tied up, it means that the east side of Jin will stabilize.
If Qi State cannot get the peninsula and then hand it over to Lu Wu?
This is a situation that Lu Wu is happy to see.
Once Qi breaks the contract, wouldn’t he be able to lead troops to attack Qi again and fulfill his long-cherished wish to go to the commercial capital?
In order to have fun in "Linzi", he is really deliberate enough!
Wei Qi and Shi Feng only knew that this expedition would achieve their goal successfully.
They didn't ask much about the rest of the matter and the subsequent follow-up.
Jin State is about to withdraw its troops.
Lu Wu reluctantly said goodbye to Cui Zhu, the governor of Qi State, and the nobles of Qi State.
The nobles of Qi seemed to have quickly adjusted their inner positioning.
They showed absolute politeness to Lu Wu, and their attitude was in line with the etiquette norms of dealing with the "Qing" of a hegemonic country, and agreed with the fact that Lu Wu was responsible for diplomatic relations.
In this era, which "Qing" in Jin State corresponds to the diplomatic relations between which country is not only responsible for ordering to obey the arrangements, but also includes trade matters in all aspects.
In a complex direction, whether at the national level or at the family level, Qi State wants to export or import to Jin State, all matters cannot be separated from the nod of the head of the diplomatic diplomatic relations.
From a simple definition, Lu Wu became the "Supreme Emperor" of Qi.
Jin State is the hegemonic country. Even if it is not the hegemon of the "Oriental World", it is also the hegemon of the Central Plains.
As the hegemonic country, Jin actually has a great say.
As long as the Jin State can make the vassal states of the Central Plains obey again, the Yin family, as the "Supreme Emperor" of Qi State, has many places to operate, which means that the benefits available are beyond imagination.
On the way back home.
Lu Wu was frequently asked for a visit by the nobles who went to war.
They are not for the division of trophy.
The regulations are divided into four or six, and what can be operated is the quality of the things obtained, and the quality of the captives.
As long as Lu Wu's heart is not damn bad enough, they will suffer very limited places.
This time, Qi State surrendered to the weak, which was of course a good thing for Jin State, while the Yin family officially "taken over" Qi State.
In modern terms, part of the diplomatic power of Qi State was controlled by the Yin family.
Qi State is a major salt-producing country or a major textile country.
More than 60% of the salt in Jin State was purchased from Qi State.
In the past, Fan was the second-doctor dealer.
Now the second-door dealer has become the Yin family.
They asked Lu Wu to discuss the purchase of salt and cloth.
In addition, some of the products of each company want to sell to Qi.
Lu Wu, who has initially mastered the "channel", must understand everything from scratch.
He thought: "I seem to need to absorb retainers from Qi?"
Actually, it doesn't seem to be.
But a necessity!
They swept across the southern border of Qi, and they destroyed not only one or two families.
Those nobles whose fiefs were swept away by themselves became prisoners, to see if they could find someone to borrow ransom, and after they returned, they could find how many people or warriors could be retrieved from the wilderness.
It can be predicted that even if many of them can go back, they will become down-and-out nobles who have lost their fiefs in a few years.
Lu Wu felt that he could send his retainers to talk to the captured Qi nobles.
Be a retainer or something?
It definitely won't work.
If you know some information, I believe that those nobles of Qi will have a desire to cooperate.
If Lu Wu is willing, he can even train a group of traitors to come out.
On the way to withdraw, they encountered Jie Shuo who had "come back".
Jie Shuo brought a letter from the king.
"Your Majesty needs a proton?" Lu Wu is familiar with this operation.
After the Warring States Period, if any country cannot defeat it, it will generally allow the heirs to be hostages in the enemy country.
By the way, this started to play like this in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period?
Lu Wu wanted to know something else and asked, "Do you know about the attack on Qi?"
Jie Shuo replied: "I don't know."
It was because he didn't know whether the king knew or not.
Lu Wu could understand, but he didn't understand what the situation of the king was.
The war report on the attack on Qi should be written by Lu Wu.
He wrote several war reports and sent them back, mentioning that he had entered Qi and moved to the southern border of Qi.
In other words, he did not mention the formal confrontation with Qi State at all.
The king had no final result in the war, and he asked Qi to send the prince to the prince as hostage.
What's going on?
The army has evacuated Qi and is about to enter Wei.
Do you have to take the army to Qi State again and chat with Qi Jun Lu Huan?
Not bullying people like this!
Lu Wu needs to figure out whether the prince of Qi came to be hostage or whether Yuan Rong Zhifu was the king.
If you want to figure it out, you either send someone to "Xintian" to ask, or you will wait until you return to China before asking in person.
He looked at Jie Shuo and said, "You stay with Wei."
Jie Shuo was a little confused.
What does it mean?
