I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 30 Sun Wu loves the war

Under the double blow of the people in each feudal city full of complaints and the auspiciousness from heaven, as expected, the prestige of the Ji family and the Meng family in the State of Lu plummeted for a while.However, Lu Hou's reputation is increasing day by day, and he is likely to return to the government.

Faced with this dilemma, Ji Sunsu felt quite a headache.On the one hand, the tax reduction is directly related to the expenses of one's staff, large and small, the governors of each city, and raising private armed forces.Therefore, no matter what, you can't let go.On the other hand, if there is too much grievance among the people, it is definitely not his wish for Luhou to gain power because of this.

As for the matter of auspiciousness from heaven, they were even more stupefied.When the two things merged, Ji Sunsu could only watch helplessly as the common people praised and eulogized Lu Hou, but he was helpless.

Faced with such a good situation, Li Ran immediately asked Shusun Bao to step up arrangements for the mission to Jin.

At this time, the Ji family and the Meng family were already very busy, and it was a good opportunity for them to go to the state of Jin to ask for help.

Uncle Sunbao also knew that the opportunity must not be missed, so he immediately made arrangements to leave as soon as the time came.

But just five days before the departure, a major international news reached Qufu directly!

"The Marquis of Jin announced to the world that all the vassal states should go to Pingqiu for an alliance."

It turned out that the Marquis of Jin's alliance this time was due to the chaos in Chu State, and the prince Bi of Chu State fled to Jin State because of the coercion of his order, Prince Yin.

In Jishi's other courtyard, Shusun Bao frowned when he heard the news, with a sad expression on his face.Because he had already made arrangements for entering the Jin Dynasty this time, but this time there was a side issue, how could he not worry about it?

"Prince Wei Yin, the order of the state of Chu, is said to be extremely domineering and arbitrary. There are rumors in the market that this Prince Wei has always had the intention of usurping. I think it must be for this reason, so his younger brother Wang Zibi fled to the state of Jin. ?”

This is the case. The civil turmoil in Chu caught Han Qi's attention. Han Qi has always been greedy for profit and admires fame, so he naturally knew that this was an excellent opportunity.

Taking advantage of the internal turmoil in Chu to launch the alliance of princes, not only can you completely ignore Chu's opposition, but also can promote the hegemony of Jin.At the same time, it would allow the Han family to gain a lot of political resources among the vassal states.

This kind of business that guarantees profit but not loss, Han Qi must work hard to promote it.

As for Jinhou, he is not far from Han Qi, and he is also a person who always likes face.So, I went to ask Emperor Zhou for instructions in name only, and after getting the approval of Emperor Zhou, it was announced to the world.

Li Ran, who heard the news, was different from his uncle Sun Bao's sad expression. After thinking about it for a while, his mind was shaken suddenly, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized that Han Qi was really an out-and-out "" Good teammate" Ah!

"how?"

Seeing Li Ran's bright expression, knowing that he had another idea, Shu Sunbao immediately asked.

Li Ran smiled brightly.

"Does the doctor know about the fact that the Ji clan took over Yingyi this year?"

"This matter can be regarded as a major event for our country of Lu, how could Leopard not know?"

Uncle Sunbao was very strange, because it had been half a year since the Ji clan sent troops to capture Yingyi of the State of Ju, and Li Ran had never heard of it before, but today he brought it up suddenly, but he didn't know what his intention was.

Li Ran said in a deep voice:
"Han Qi's request for an alliance is another great opportunity for us!"

"what?"

Shu Sunbao was surprised for a moment, but he also knew Li Ran's supernatural powers, so he hurriedly asked.

"When Li Ran first came to the state of Lu, he heard that the Ji family had fought against the states of Ju and Zhu in the past few years, occupying a lot of land. And the alliance initiated by the Han Zhongjun...hehe, if we operate it If the monarchs of these two countries are fortunate enough to be able to successfully participate in the Pingqiu Alliance, isn't that a golden opportunity for us to attack the Ji clan?"

The Kingdom of Ju and the Kingdom of Zhu, these two countries are logically only vassals of the Kingdom of Lu, and are not eligible to participate in an alliance of this scale.But there can be exceptions to everything, right?

The speed of Li Ran's brain turning is also staggering, and Shu Sunbao suddenly realized it when he heard this.

"That's right! According to the previous oath of the Song Alliance, countries are not allowed to attack each other. Once the monarchs of Ju and Zhu meet in the alliance, they will ask Lu to return the occupied land. In order to show his hegemony, the Marquis of Jin will inevitably force Lu to If this is the case, how dare the Ji clan refuse to follow? Once he obeys, the Ji clan's hard work in the past few years will be in vain!"

"Okay! That's great! In this way, it is indeed a good opportunity!"

Shu Sunbao is not a fool either, after hearing Li Ran's words, he felt like a bright mirror in his heart.

You must know that the purpose of Han Qi's instigating the Marquis of Jin to launch an alliance is to gain some political resources. Facing the reasonable and well-founded dismantling of Ju and Zhu, he will naturally agree. confrontation?

In this case, the Ji family's influence in the country of Lu will be seriously damaged.

"The plan has changed at the moment, it seems that we have to make other arrangements."

"By the way! Doctor Shusun, you'd better not go on this trip to the Jin Kingdom, you must let this old fellow Ji Sunsu go!"

Since Ji Sunsu was going to make a fool of himself, he was naturally asked to participate in the Pingqiu League.

Shu Sunbao also understood this, and immediately said with a smile:

"It's easy to handle. If the old man doesn't want to go, just find any reason."

Li Ran nodded and said:
"So good."

"Sun Wu, go to Ju and Zhu immediately, and lobby them before the Pingqiu meeting!"

The national strength of Ju and Zhu is not as good as that of Lu, and they have been suppressed and beaten by the Ji family for these years, and they dare not say a word. If they want to regain their land, the Pingqiu alliance is obviously an excellent opportunity.

It's just that the monarchs of these two countries have always been timid and fearful. Li Ran worried that they were not brave enough, so he asked Sun Wu to give them a shot in the arm.

As soon as Sun Wu heard that he still had a mission, let alone how happy he was, he immediately cupped his hands and said:
"Sun Wu understands brother Ziming's meaning, this trip will definitely fulfill the mission!"

"slow!"

After Sun Wuyan said that, he turned around and was about to prepare, but unexpectedly, Li Ran stopped him again.

"You may not have fully understood what I mean."

"Huh? Brother Ziming doesn't mean to ask Wu Qian to lobby the monarchs of Ju and Zhu to ensure that they will ask Ji for their land at the meeting in Pingqiu?"

Sun Wu, who was a little confused, frowned and looked at Li Ran.

I saw Li Ran shaking his head slightly, and then a flash of hope flashed in his eyes, which was the expectation of the future military strategist.

"It's not enough to just ask the Ji family."

"Do you understand the art of war?"

Li Ran suddenly smiled mysteriously.

In fact, Li Ran had higher expectations for Sun Wu than for himself.

Because he knows that Sun Wu is a figure who can influence Chinese civilization for thousands of years, and he himself is just a time and space traveler. Whether he can stay in the long river of history in the future or let future generations know his existence is unknown.

So when Sun Wu appeared in front of him for the first time, he already had a plan, and he must make Sun Wu the most holy military strategist!
It's just that during this period of time he has been busy dealing with the Ji family and the Meng family, and Sun Wu is at most just a bodyguard, and he hasn't had a chance to make him shine.

And this time, it is an excellent opportunity to train Sun Wu!
"The art of war? What do you mean by brother Ziming's words?"

Does Sun Wu know the art of war?

The time when Sun Wu wrote "Sun Tzu's Art of War" cannot be verified, but one thing is certain, that is, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is by no means imagined out of thin air, it must be summed up based on actual combat experience.

So before writing "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Sun Wu must have experienced many battles.

It's just that at this time, whether he understands the art of war or not, only he knows.

Sun Wu did not answer Li Ran's question directly, because he was a little excited about this question.

He is a person who has always admired horse leather shrouds, and he is on the battlefield. The reason why he came to Lu State is because Lu State has been in conflict with neighboring countries all the year round, and he hopes to show his strength here.

Some people may ask, why didn't he go to a big country like Jin, Chu, and Qi, but why did he come to a small country like Lu?

This is where Sun Tzu's arrogance lies.

He, Sun Wu, disdains the use of the big to defeat the small, and the victory is not military.

And using the small to seek the big, and defeating the strong with the weak, this is what Sun Wu wanted in his heart.

In other words, for him, it doesn't mean much to bully the weak even if he wins.On the contrary, we use the weak to attack the strong, lose nothing, and win blood to make money.

"When you go to the Kingdom of Ju and the Kingdom of Zhu this time, not only do you have to persuade the monarchs of the two countries to ask for land from the Ji family, but you should also lead the remnants of their two countries to attack the cities that the Ji family has taken! It doesn't matter if you win or lose, but the movement must be big."

How can Li Ran be satisfied by just ruining Ji's face?

This is such an excellent opportunity, if Li Ran doesn't let Ji's bones hurt, that's really sorry for Han Qi, a "good teammate".

"Leading the army as a general?"

A sharp light flashed in Sun Tzu's eyes, and the whole person's spirit rose to a higher level.

"Master, do you dare to give it a try?"

Li Ran asked desperately again.

When Sun Wu heard this, he immediately said proudly:

"Hehe, brother Ziming may not know something, there is nothing in the world that I, Sun Wu, dare not do!"

"Sun Wu already understands what Brother Ziming means, so I ask Brother Ziming to wait for the good news!"

After saying that, Sun Wu only asked Uncle Sun Bao for another token, and then turned and left. The chic and firm back is really fascinating.

This made Shusun Bao on the side very puzzled. He originally wanted to say something, but Li Ran never gave him a chance. At this time, after Sun Wu asked him to ask for a token and left, he did this. Open your mouth and ask:
"Can this kid do it?"

After all, Sun Wu has not been in Qufu for a long time, and he has not shown any fighting skills.

Apart from his own good martial arts skills, Shu Sunbao really couldn't think of any reason for Li Ran to let him lead Ju and Zhu to fight against Ji's family, so it was natural to have doubts about Sun Wu.

"This person is really extraordinary, Dr. Uncle Sun can wait and see!"

I will tell you that Sun Wu is the most holy military strategist who was regarded as the originator by countless generals in later generations?

If he can't do it, who else in the world can do it?
Li Ran was overjoyed in his heart. Without a doubt, if he could make Sun Wu shine this time, it would be of great benefit to him in the future.

Hearing what he said, Shu Sunbao stopped talking immediately.

"Send someone to the Ji family, and tell Ji Sunsu the news of the mission to Jin, and he will not refuse."

This time, he is going to Jin as an envoy, and he will also attend the Pingqiu meeting.Of course Ji Sunsu will be there.Otherwise, who will Li Ran sing this good show for?

And based on Li Ran's current understanding of Ji Sunsu's personality, he firmly believed that Ji Sunsu would definitely agree.

Shusun Bao immediately nodded and arranged to go.

And Li Ran immediately said goodbye to Uncle Sun Bao, and went straight to Lu Palace.
