"The peace talks failed, and my good intentions were rejected!" Tian He said calmly.
Although the Tian family has not officially replaced the Lu family and become the Marquis of Qi, Tian He has already begun to call himself a loner. However, it cannot be said that he was arrogant. On the one hand, arrogance was a characteristic of this era. The princes overran the emperor of Zhou, the ministers overran the princes (the Duke of Jin said that he had something to say), and the retainers overran the ministers... On the other hand, the title of king also He could be called a loner, but the Tian family had long been a feudal lord, so there was no problem in calling himself that.
Although Tian He's tone was still calm, Sun Bin, Zou Ji and Tian Dan all frowned.
The Lord humiliated his ministers to death, and Yancheng refused peace talks. From a certain perspective, this was humiliating Tian He. As a minister, no matter what your true thoughts are, you must at least show it with an expression.
"I made it very clear to Qi Xin that the Lord is willing to let the Lu family in the country go and let them leave safely. But Qi Xin keeps saying that she can't make the decision."
"Later, Qi Xin refused directly. To put it bluntly, it is not the time for peace talks yet. It is best for the two sides to fight again, and then sit down and negotiate." Sun Bin said lightly.
After thinking about it, Sun Bin added: "Looking at Yanjun's intention, it seems that the two sides have great differences and it is difficult to reach an agreement in a short time, so they will simply continue to fight. If one party can't stand it, the negotiation conditions will naturally be changed."
"What Lord Yan wants is not only the Lu family, but also the tombs of Taigongwang and the previous Qi lords are safely moved away."
"At present, our bottom line is that at most, all the Lu family members are allowed to be taken away safely. The tombs of the previous Qi princes need to be discussed and more money needs to be paid. As for the inheritance of Taigong Wang, that is not within the scope of negotiation at all."
"So, Lord Yan feels that the differences are too big to be resolved through peace talks, so it is better to continue fighting."
Hearing this, Tian He nodded slightly: "On this point, Yan Jun and Gu Ye think the same. Gu Ye feels that it is necessary to let Yan Jun take a good look at his own weight through war. The Three Saints are the Three Saints, and he is him! As the number one person of the younger generation, this title has made him lose himself. As a senior, I should teach him the principles of life."
After saying that, Tian He looked at Tian Dan aside: "How is the prefecture-level Taoist soldier?"
Tian Dan thought for a while: "The first prefecture-level Taoist soldiers can be considered to have taken shape now. The others are just minor problems and can be taken out for practice exercises."
"Next, we can try to start training the second prefecture-level Taoist soldiers. With the experience of the first Taoist soldiers and the materials Tian has prepared over the years, this second prefecture-level Taoist army will take ten or twenty years as soon as possible. You can practice it. If you are slow, you can practice it in thirty to fifty years."
As he said this, Tian Dan looked at Sun Bin who was standing aside: "Of course, all of this requires the help of military advisors. If I just rely on myself, it will take at least three to five hundred years."
Sun Bin shook his head nonchalantly: "My lord, Zhou Lang, Sun Lang, and Zhuge Kongming from Yancheng, each of these young men are outstanding. Especially Zhou Lang and Zhuge Kongming, they may not be inferior to me in large army operations." , not to mention Han Xin and the secretive Wu Qi."
"Although our Qi State has its first prefecture-level Taoist soldiers, there may not be no Da Zhenren in Yancheng right now!"
At this point, Sun Bin took out a stack of documents: "This records the recent battle between Xiang Ji and Wu Zixu. The two sides fought for a long time, facing each other head-on, attacking with attack. Xiang Ji did not lose at all in a short period of time. .”
"Xiang Ji already has the strength to deal with Da Zhenren head-on in a short period of time. Where is Lord Yan? Where is Han Xin? Where is Wu Qi?"
"There is also Li Bing, who made a breakthrough decades ago. Over the years, Yancheng has been controlling water every year. It is Li Bing who is in charge of this matter. His strength should have improved by leaps and bounds."
"Once we officially break up with Yancheng, it will have a great impact on Tian's future development."
In Sun Bin's view, Yancheng is now in a state of momentum, and it is in a state where destiny favors it and everything is unfavorable. When facing such a child of destiny, one must follow them to seduce them and let them be used for one's own purposes. This is what should be done. It is not appropriate to go against the Son of Destiny right from the start. This is not what a wise man does.
Tian He did not directly deny Sun Bin, but Zou Ji took the initiative and shook his head: "No, it's not that we don't want to negotiate with Yancheng, it's that Yancheng wants to step on us."
"Let's talk about the inheritance of Taigongwang first. The Tian family has been working hard for it for several generations. They have devoted countless energy and resources. Now they are moved away with just one sentence? What about the Tian family's losses?"
"Furthermore, Taigong Wang's inheritance contains a lot of profound knowledge. With this, maybe the Tian family will be able to have great masters from generation to generation in the future."
Hearing this, Sun Bin turned away disdainfully.
Only a fool would believe this kind of lie!
Wasn't Emperor Zhou powerful enough back then?
The inheritance of King Wen, King Wu, and Duke Zhou are all in the lineage of the Emperor of Zhou.
But what about the result?
Isn’t there still the matter of King Ping moving eastward?
Having a saint-level inheritance does not mean that it can be digested immediately. Even if it is completely digested, it does not mean that every generation can produce a great real person.
If the emperors of Zhou were Da Zhenren from generation to generation, the world today would still be the world of emperors Zhou, but in reality? Except for a few emperors such as King Mu, the others were only the first generation.
However, Zou Ji was talking about Tian He's thoughts at this moment, and Sun Bin could not refute it, so he could only pretend not to see or hear.
"The most important thing is that now Yancheng has been supporting countries such as Lu and Yan. A large amount of Xuanjia and Lingmi are being sold to Lu and Yan. They even provide Taoist training services. Xuan-level Taoist soldiers Training methods are sold in Yancheng, and as long as the money is large, even Xuan-level Taoist soldiers will help train them."
"If our Qi State hadn't already given birth to prefecture-level Taoist soldiers, what would we have done with the encirclement network created by Yancheng?"
"So, I think it is necessary to fight with Yancheng."
"Just considering the Three Saints, it's best to have an appointment for this battle. Let's make an appointment at a more private location."
If Qi wins, the news will be leaked accidentally, letting the whole world know how powerful Qi is.
If Qi loses, this is impossible!
Even if Qi really loses, the news will be leaked accidentally. But this time, the news was only leaked to the top leaders of various countries: Qi State had trained prefecture-level Taoist soldiers, but they still lost. What does this mean?
"So, this time, we can invite envoys from various countries in advance to watch the battle."
"Whether we win or lose, we have to show off our prefecture-level Taoist soldiers!"
With strength, you can speak louder!
Tian Dan nodded: "I have no problem. Now I am familiar with this group of earth-level Taoist soldiers."
Sun Bin: "This battle is kept secret from the bottom, but there is no need to keep it secret from the top leaders of various countries."
Tian He thought for a while: "Okay, then let's formally issue a letter of credence to the Yan Kingdom and make a war."
I have been working overtime recently and this chapter was coded out at noon. I am really speechless.
