Chapter 84
Luo Guo didn't pay much attention to the war between Wu and Chu, thinking that it was just a battle to divide the sphere of influence.

Now Luo Yu is most concerned about the issue of the Qing family in Qi, so after sending Sun Wu away, he came to Linzi without any delay.

The prince of Luo State went to Qi State as an envoy, which is a tradition of maintaining the friendship between the two countries.

As Luo's two most important allies, Qi and Jin's problems are completely different.

The state of Jin doesn't have any problems with the Qing family now. Chong'er has enough prestige to frighten the doctor. The state of Jin is full of vitality now, just like Bang Zhou when King Su was just entrusted. The state of Jin has even begun to prepare for it. Rehabilitation.

Jin's problem is a structural problem, exactly the same as Bang Zhou's problem. External forces cannot interfere at all, and what is needed is a strong and excellent monarch.

The problem of Qi State is not like that of Jin State who allocated a large amount of land to meritorious officials, and then the number of officials is scarce.

Until now, the strength of Qi's center is still very strong.

Just because the central power is strong does not mean that the monarch is strong. The Otsuka Prime Minister of the Qi State is in charge of the state affairs of the Qi State, and all the nobles are fiercely competing for the position of the Otsuka Prime Minister.

As long as the Duke of Qi can obtain the power of the center, this is what Luo Guo can intervene in. As long as Duke Qi cooperates, Luo Yu is still very sure.

Qi State and Song State are the countries with the most prosperous business style among the Xia countries, especially Qi State has the benefits of fish and salt, and has been the richest among the countries since the time of Tai Gongwang.

In the city of Linzi, there are a lot of Chinese people, and most of them live a very good life. It really feels like a cloud, and Luo Yu has to feel that the land of Qi State is really good.

For 500 years, any official son of Luo State has been a distinguished guest of Qi State, not to mention Luo Yu, the prince who is famous for his beauty and appearance. Duke Lu Jing of Qi held a grand banquet to entertain him.

"Tai Ziyu, your appearance is like a god in the sky!"

"The sages said that a person with a good appearance is favored by the heavens. The noble stigmata on your brows complement your appearance so well. What an honor it is for you to have the double favor of the heavens and King Su!"

Everyone praised him from the bottom of their hearts.

But Luo Yu is such a meticulous person, he soon discovered that although Lu Jing, the monarch of Qi State, had a good impression of him, his attitude towards Luo State was somewhat ambiguous, and he did not have the normal closeness of blood alliance that lasted for 500 years.

Alarm bells were ringing in his heart, he understood that something must have happened in the political arena of Qi State!
The time has to be pushed back to before he came to Qi State. At that time, several senior ministers of Qi State discussed with Lu Jing the strategy of strengthening Qi State, and Qi State Shangqing Tian Chang advised Qi Gong Lu Jing.

"Your Majesty, I have the courage to speak out, the current state of Qi can no longer be like what it was in the past 500 years, everything is advancing and retreating with the state of Luo, this is not in line with the interests of the state of Qi.

Even Luo State has become the biggest enemy of Qi State! "

Lu Jing was shocked on the spot. The Qiluo alliance has been unbreakable for 500 years, but now his own prime minister wants to break it?
Hearing this, he said in shock: "Tian Qing, Qi and Luo are the only two kingdoms in the state that were entrusted by King Wu.

For 500 years, the two countries have always maintained a marriage blood alliance. The ancestor Huan Gong was able to dominate.

When the hegemony weakens and the state of Qi declines, it is only with the support of the state of Luo that the state of Qi can make a smooth transition. Does the importance of the state of Luo to the state of Qi need to be explained one by one alone?
Now Jin State wants to fight for hegemony again. If it alienates Luo State now, it may even start a war.

Once Luo State and Jin State unite, how can Qi State resist it?

You are always wise, how can you say such irrational words?Say no more. "

But Tian Chang didn't care about what Lu Jing said, he was very clear about this monarch, and his ears were very soft.

So he continued: "My lord, the water in the great river will definitely flow to the sea. When you stand on the shore, what you see at this moment and what you see at the next moment, can it still be the same piece of water?
The more intense the water changes, the more vigorous it will be.

If the water is like this, don't people change?
Back then, to the east of Taihang Mountains, there were not only the states of Luo and Qi, but also the states of Qi, Ju, and Qu.

Many vassal states are on this land, and there are far more Dongyi people than the Xia states.

So at that time, there was no problem with the alliance of the Xia kingdoms, and it was difficult for Qi and Luo to survive without mutual support.

Even when Qi State wiped out Laiyi State, Luo State also supported a large number of weapons and armor, which is worth remembering.

But my lord, you have to look at the current situation. Both King Su and Lao Tzu once said--Easy is not easy!
Only change is forever!

In the east of the Taihang Mountains, besides Luo and Qi, there are only a few tiny countries. Don’t you know that once Qi annexes these small countries, Qi and Luo will all border on it?

In the past 500 years, where are the bordering countries without wars?
Will Qi's territory never expand again? "

Qi Gong Lu Jing shook his head and said, "Of course Qi will expand!"

Seeing Lu Jing's trick, Tian Chang's eyes flashed with joy, and he still said in a deep voice: "Since we want to expand, if Qi doesn't ask Luo for land, where can we ask for land?
If you don't cut it now, don't you think that the Lord Luo will take the initiative to dedicate their land to Qi?
When Luo State was weak, they voluntarily withdrew some cities, Wei State and Han State occupied these places, and then?

Those well-managed cities were returned to the hands of Luo Guo.

In the past 500 years, when did the Luo Kingdom lose an inch of land?
Do you think that the monarch of Luo State will take the initiative to hand over the land that their ancestors conquered to Qi State? "

This series of questions directly confused Lu Jingwen, he ate and waited to die every day, how could he have thought about these things.

In fact, half of what Tian Chang said is correct. There is indeed an essential contradiction between Luo and Qi.

Chu State can expand to the south, and Qin State can expand to the west, but Qi State cannot expand to the sea in this era.

If he wants to expand his territory, he can only go west, north, and south.

Except for a few small countries, the north of him is the country of Yan, and the land of the country of Yan is some relatively bad land in this era.

Not only is it not fertile enough, but it is also colder.

The land of Qi State is originally a very fertile plain, so the interest in the land of Yan State is not very great.

In the entire east of the Taihang Mountains, the most fertile land is in the hands of Luo and Qi.

Now Luo State is blocking Qi State's path to the west, so Qi State will definitely fight Luo State if it wants to annex the world.

The reason why there was no such idea before is because now all countries have no idea of ​​changing the day.

Once in the Warring States period, all countries began to have the idea of ​​unifying the world, and at that time, Qi State would definitely go to war with Luo State.

But Tian Chang is still fooling Lu Jing, because being an enemy in the future does not mean being an enemy now.

Now being an enemy of Luo State is not in the interests of Qi State at all, more precisely, it is not in the interests of Qi State's office.

But Lu Jing, who had some brain problems, had already been fooled by Tian Chang. After all, what Tian Chang said was really justified.

Especially the Shangqing who were present at the time agreed with Tian Chang, and even Otsuka Zai agreed, which convinced Lu Jing that the blood alliance between Qi and Luo was coming to an end.

This is the reason why Lu Jing distanced himself from Luo.

After leaving the banquet, through short information collection, Luo Yu guessed that it must be the top officials of Qi State, and even Tian Chang, the target of his trip, said in front of Lu Jing that Qi and Luo were destined to be enemies.

"Interesting, there is no psychological burden to kill you now!"

A cold light flashed in Luo Yu's eyes. He didn't care about Tian Chang's slander. He possessed 96 cunning attributes and 99 charm attributes. In terms of deception ability, Luo Yu ranked second, and no one could. Recognize first.

If Lu Jing couldn't be limped, then God really gave him such good conditions for nothing.

Although Lu Jing's attitude towards Luo State is rather ambiguous, at least Qi State and Luo State are still blood alliances, and the conflict between the two parties has not yet begun to break out, so it is very easy for Luo Yu to meet Lu Jing.

So Luo Yu soon met Qi Gong Lu Jing again, Lu Jing still had a good impression of Luo Yu, and asked with a smile: "Is there anything important for the crown prince to go to Qi?"

Luo Yu's words were not surprising, and he swore endlessly, and said directly: "Qi Gong, I came from the Luo Kingdom, and I came to help Qi's Duke get rid of the predicament of extinction.

As your ally, can I just sit back and watch you fall into danger? "

Duke Qi was taken aback when he heard the words, then he laughed nonchalantly and said, "Prince, you are really joking.

The state of Qi has thousands of miles of fertile land, and among the other states, probably only the state of Chu is larger than the state of Qi.

With a population of several million, it can be ranked from Qi to Luo. Among all the countries, is there any country that can match it?
You have seen the prosperity of Linzi City, just the population of Linzi City and the surrounding farmers can make up an army of [-].

Such a powerful country, even if it is Jin who wants to regain hegemony, Qi is not afraid. Why does the prince say that Qi is in crisis?
This is probably a lie, please be careful! "

Looking at the smiling and happy Lu Jing, Luo Yu said quietly: "Qi Gong, what you just said is naturally good.

Qi State has a vast territory and powerful soldiers, and it is one of the most powerful countries among the Xia.

But is the power of Qi State and the power of the government equal?
Have you forgotten Zheng Guo?That is also a big country among the Xias.

Hundreds of miles of land are all plains suitable for farming. There are millions of people in the country, and the army is even more powerful. There are three armies, but what about the public office?
Yu remembered that a few years ago, Zheng Guogong had to ask Luo Guo and you for help because there was not enough meat for sacrifices! "

As soon as Luo Yu said this, Qi Gong Lu Jingzheng's hearty smile froze in an instant.
