host country

Yu Xian said to Ji Tui, "Your Majesty, although I am not talented, I have three strategies to offer you. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Oh?" Ji Tui laughed and said, "Let's hear it."

Yu Xian said solemnly, "Now Qi and Lu are at war. Although it seems that the two countries have lost a lot of life and death, in fact, these two countries will definitely grow stronger after the war."

"The Tian family has been operating in the Qi state for many years, and it is the biggest hidden danger of the Qi state. As long as the Tian family succeeds in replacing the Jiang family, then the Qi state will no longer be constrained. The Qi state, which is united as one, will restore the prosperity of Duke Huan of Qi. It’s just a matter of time.”

"The Sanhuan of the State of Lu is also the confidant of Lu Jun. It makes Lu's country fight again and again, and it is impossible to form an effective rule. The Jisun family headed by it is the source of the disaster. As long as the Qi State helps the Lu State to eliminate the Sanhuan, then the integration of Lu Lu Jun, who has the power of the country, will also reproduce the grand occasion of the leader in the east. The two countries around the king will be strong, and the defense of the country will be weak, and they will definitely become their targets."

"Therefore, this is the worst policy, that is, the emperor supports his own troops and sits and watches the success or failure of the two countries. Sacrificing to ghosts and gods, we hope that everything will happen."

Ji Tui's face darkened when he heard this, "You don't need to provoke me, I still have some judgments on this point."

Yu Xian nodded and continued, "This is the right strategy. It is to ask the king to contact Lu Jun secretly, and at the same time persuade the Chu State to attack the Qi State together. Tian He and the Lu State have an agreement, so they will not take any precautions against the Lu State. Now Qi State The country has suffered heavy losses. If Wei and Lu are attacked with all their strength, they will definitely be defeated. Qi, the most powerful of the three kingdoms, has been weakened, and Lu is still alive. It is still difficult to form a joint force. Wei will become a pivotal force in the East."

Ji Tui was slightly moved when he heard this.

If you can get a hand in this conspiracy between Qi and Lu, you will gain a lot of benefits.

But since it is the middle policy, Ji Tui naturally has no expectations, he immediately said, "Not right! Leaving aside what Jun Lu thinks, the strength of Qi is the strongest after all, even if we Wei Guo can gain something this time , will inevitably have a deep grudge against Qi State. It is hard to say whether Lu Jun will care about this friendship when Qi State comes to revenge next time. Although I, Ji Tui, are stupid, I will not And kill yourself."

Yu Xian nodded after listening.

This was just a trick.

The young master said it was the middle policy, as long as his brain is not flooded, he will definitely ask the best policy.

Yu Xian said calmly, "I still have the best strategy to offer. This time Lord Lu's target is Sanhuan, and Tian He will wholeheartedly pursue and kill Sanhuan's soldiers for the sake of Lord Lu's guarantee. If the situation is most urgent , it must be Sanhuan."

When Ji Tui heard this, he interrupted with a half-smile, "What? Could it be that you plan to let me join hands with mere Sanhuan?"

Even joining forces with Lu Jun, Ji Tui hesitated, let alone with Lu Jun's courtiers.

After hearing this, Yu Xian said neither humble nor overbearing, "Exactly, I plan to bring Wei Jun and Ji Sun's together to counterattack Qi."

Ji Tui laughed loudly after hearing this, and then shook his head disappointedly, "Wu Qing, this is your best strategy? It really makes people look forward to it in vain."

After listening to Ji Tui's words, Yu Xian's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly, "I think this is the real best strategy. Your Majesty and the Jisun family will definitely get more rewards than joining forces with Lu Jun. "

Listening to Yu Xian's confidence, Ji Tui asked in surprise, "Oh? How should I say it?"

Yu Xian looked at Ji Tui and said sincerely, "Because Lu Jun will not betray the country, but Ji Sun's will!"

"Selling, betraying the country?" Ji Dui was dumbfounded.

Yu Xian said earnestly, "Jisun's family can offer a bargaining chip that is enough to satisfy Jun Shang, but this is something Lu Jun can't do."

After hearing this, Ji Tui felt that this truth was so correct that she was speechless.

For the Jisun family who was already facing extinction, he would not care about the interests of the Lu State, and would definitely struggle desperately in order to protect himself.

And what about Lu Jun?

He was originally with Tian He, facing Qi Guo's attack, there was no pressure at all.

Unless he was crazy, he would take the risk of raiding Qi with Wei.

Let Lu Jun provide benefits, let alone think about it.

Ji Tui couldn't help but blurt out and asked, "What benefits can the Ji Sun family offer me?"

Yu Xian was silent for a while, then replied, "Ceded the land!"

"Ceded land?" Wei Jun was shocked, "How is this possible? Sanhuan is only headed by the Ji Sun family, and there are two powerful ministers, the Meng Sun family and the Shu Sun family. Besides, even if the Ji Sun family controls the power of the Lu State, I am afraid He can't convince the other scholar-bureaucrats in Lu either!"

Yu Xian said seriously, "Your Majesty, please listen to me. If Your Majesty is interested, I am willing to promise on behalf of Ji Sun's family to cede the eight cities at the junction of the State of Lu and the State of Wei to the State of Wei."

"Eight cities?!" Ji Tui's eyes were about to pop out.

Then Ji Tui quickly calmed down.

The benefits are so great that he can't believe it.

Even if the Jisun family tried their best to facilitate this matter, they would inevitably encounter strong opposition from the people of Lu.

Wu Qi is not lying to me, is he?

Ji Tui looked at Wu Qi with scrutiny.

Yu Xian looked at Wei Jun frankly, "Of course, there are still conditions."

"Conditions?" Wei Jun frowned slightly, "Let's hear it."

Yu Xian said slowly, "The condition is that Lord Wei must go all out to help Sanhuan's soldiers and horses defeat Qi. And...at least help Lu to regain the twelve cities lost in the past few decades."

"What?!" Wei Jun frowned, and then said with a sullen expression, "Since I have to pay such a high price, why don't I occupy those cities myself, instead fight for Lu?"

Yu Xian looked at Wei Jun with a faint smile, "The reason is very simple. Because if you seize the city of Qi, you will definitely become enemies with Qi. From the long-term consideration of the king, it is not wise to punish this moment. But it’s different to get the territory ceded by the Lu State. The Lu State itself is not strong enough, and the threat to Wei Jun is also small, since it is clearly obtained, it is a real benefit.”

"As for the State of Lu, after losing eight cities and gaining twelve cities, the territory of the four cities was still expanded. The people there are all the original people of the State of Lu, so it is not difficult to rule. Allies, with the help of Lord Wei, they were able to expand their territory, and at the same time greatly weakened Qi. I am afraid that no one will be dissatisfied with this result."

When Ji Tui heard this, his eyes flickered, and his whole body cheered up.

Yu Xian added another sentence, "As for Mr. Wei, you have the reputation of defeating a big country, the strength of a city, and a closer relationship with Lu, and you have a reliable ally. Maybe in the future, the Jisun family will be in charge. The state of Lu still needs to rely on the support of the emperor. As long as the emperor works hard to govern, even if the weakened Qi state is annexed, it may not be difficult."

Greed flashed across Ji Tui's eyes.

He stared at Yu Xian and asked, "Is what you said true?"

Yu Xian stood up and solemnly stretched out a hand.

"You have nothing to worry about."

Ji Tuo's eyes flashed, and then he suddenly got up.

With a flick of his robe sleeves, he stepped forward to high-five Wu Qi, making an oath in front of everyone.

"I'm not cheating."
