"It's really not good," Shui Zhen paused for a moment, and added, "Aren't we also able to unite with the surrounding small countries and ask for help from the Chu State at the same time?"

Of course, this possibility is the smallest, the country is big, and it is not easy to use troops, the small countries around the Chu State have not all been annexed, and they have little energy to manage the countries across the river, and the countries across the river are probably the same idea, this kind of false peace can still last for a long time.

"I think it's possible, so I'll go back. ”

The Father of Water has already moved and spoken in agreement. Although he is a rough man, he still has some understanding of the war, otherwise he would not have a position of general.

The monarch hesitated again, and asked the prime minister's opinion, the prime minister was silent, and Shui Zhen took the initiative to ask for battle, and finally the monarch agreed to his request, gave him a small general, and asked him to lead two hundred troops.

Ahem, two hundred.

Even if you know that Jiangguo is a small country and has insufficient troops, but the two hundred soldiers are not special forces, and they also include the old, weak, sick and disabled, what can they do?

Shui Zhen felt that he was the god of war in the world, and I was afraid that he could only harass and fight in small groups.

He didn't express any dissatisfaction, but looked like a young man in high spirits, and immediately took the talisman to prepare to transfer troops.

The monarch watched him rush away, looked around at the prime ministers and generals on the left and right, and muttered, "Isn't it a matter of the envoy who came with the country today? Why did you suddenly go to war?"

Back at home, Princess Han heard about it, tears fell first, Mizuno hugged her and cried together, Shui Zhen returned home and saw this kind of scene is a headache, no wonder the brother can't stand up, this kind of weak character, where can it be reliable?

"What are you crying about, so easy for me to have a chance to make meritorious contributions, mother, brother, aren't they happy for me?"

Princess Han is petite, about one meter and five meters tall, looking at Shui Zhen, who is about the same height as herself, crying and holding his hand, and said: "How old are you, you are about to go to the battlefield, the battlefield is easy to go, isn't it good to be at home with your brother?"

Mizuno Fumihide's face was also full of tears, and he took his other hand and said, "Why can't my brother think about it so much, he has to do such a desperate thing." ”

Mizuno is the first son of Princess Han, she was young at the time, and she didn't know how to take care of the child, and finally brought her son to be similar to her daughter, although domestic women will not embroider and make clothes all day long, but Mizuno's hobby in elegant things is still in the same vein as Princess Han.

He was also taken out by the water father when he was ten years old, he was the son of the water father and Princess Han, the blood is thick and similar to the water truth, he should have enough status and get more right to speak, but he was frightened when he saw the fierce-looking soldiers, and he was scared to cry by others fighting, and finally the water father was disappointed to comment "It's not like me", and the brick handed him over to Princess Han.

Mizuno didn't feel that this was a loss of power at all, but felt that he was lucky to survive, and he was very happy, and he was even more glad that his father didn't force him to touch those things he didn't like, but he didn't know that it meant that he gave up some power himself.

Therefore, the original owner never took him seriously, because he knew that this in-law brother would not hinder his path at all.

Shui Zhen listened helplessly, he wanted to learn witchcraft well, but he couldn't find anyone who was a water witch, it was also strange, the total territory of Jiang Guo was not very big, just look at the palace of the monarch of Jiang Guo, at most it was the size of a quadrangle, and the position where the ministers stood in the court was the size of thirty or forty square meters, what can you expect from the building at this time?

However, this is the case, he couldn't find where the water witch was, and he heard Princess Han say that only the annual sacrifice, and then when a major event happened in the country, could the king invite the water witch, and at other times, they couldn't see anyone.

It's good, it's mysterious enough.

Shui Zhen had long thought that things would not be too easy, so this time he wanted to promote this battle, but also to try to attract the attention of Shui Wu.

He couldn't find the water witch, so let the water witch find him.

"Don't worry, mother, don't worry, brother, I'll come back safely. "I have to believe that the god of water will protect me." ”

The last sentence blocked all the doubts and dissuasions of the mother and son, and they did not dare to be disrespectful to the water god.

Shui Zhen wasn't prepared to explain anything, whether it could be done or not, he had to make some preparations.

Brought soldiers from the water father, these soldiers are all "wartime soldiers, idle farmers", and now they are named, not even a suit, a pair of short coats and shorts dressed, looking at it will feel a little rough, especially the messy hair, dirty, oily, people can't bear to witness.

At first, Shui Zhen was still thinking about how to regain the hearts of the army, but when he saw the soldiers who were naturally hunched over when he stood this time, he silently crossed the line of "eating and living together" from his mind.

The soldiers who came over were all young people, and this was thanks to the water father's use of power for personal gain, otherwise where would there be such a neat age division.

Shui Zhen took the roll call, and after confirming that the number of people was fine, he asked them to bring the weapons and armor specially prepared by the Father of the Water and follow him on the boat.

The war can be regarded as a big event, the monarch asked the water witch, the water witch gave a divination a hexagram, and got a "auspicious" word, so that the monarch was overjoyed, and he didn't care that the envoy of the country did not leave.

On the day of the trip, the monarch also came to see him off, and Shui Zhen said to him: "The monarch will stay with the envoy for a few more days, and wait for me to come back!"

The monarch was puzzled and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Grandpa should answer me!" Shui Zhen didn't explain, and directly used his relatives to show weakness.

The monarch happily agreed, touched his head, and said, "I listen to the truth." ”

Shui Zhen smiled with satisfaction, and the water father stepped forward to speak, and told him a few more words, and then he watched the big ship carry them away with solemn eyes.

Due to the serious flooding in the western country, they are regarded as tigers, and there are not many people living on the shore, and the landing site selected by Shuizhen is slightly remote, and there are even fewer people coming and going.

After the group got off the boat, Shui Zhen first let them hide their armor, and the group carried simple weapons, and directly acted as robbers who robbed houses, looking for those rich and noble families to attack, mainly riverside people, if they were civilians, they would be taken away directly.

Jiangguo rarely intermarries with foreign countries, and the upper class people pay more attention to marrying both parties must be people of the same race for the sake of blood, and the people at the bottom will not pay much attention to it in order to live.

Of course, Shui Zhen knows this layer of harm, but the domestic population is small, and there are not enough soldiers to keep the country, how can this be done, naturally he can only transport people back from outside, he does not kill people, he directly arrests people and takes them away, all as violent immigrants, the people who were removed do not say that they have no complaints, and they dare not resist anyway, like lambs, obediently follow the boat and go.

When sending off the first batch of immigrants, Shui Zhen was full of emotion, this is really a simple era, he was ready to violently suppress it, but no one resisted.

The immigrants who were transported back to China by him, he did not say that they were insufficient to supplement the labor force, but said that they were his own prisoners, and in these years, whoever is captive has the right to dispose of them.

He followed the second group of people back, and it happened that the envoy of Suiguo couldn't sit still, so he had to go, and the monarch meant to send the foreign princess and her dowry over as in the plot.

His statement is very interesting, and it is easy for the envoy of the country to eat and drink well in Jiangguo.

"Princess Yang is only five years old, so she will be accompanied by a wife, and it will inevitably drag down the itinerary along the way, but it is not as affordable as land. Shui Zhen negotiated with Jiang Guo on behalf of Jiang Guo, and his momentum was so powerful that he didn't look like a child, "The land of the Western Kingdom is close at hand, don't you dare to take it with Suiguo?"

On behalf of the land of the western country, there are two tiles, since Shui Zhen is ready to do something to the western country, he will naturally not use the other party's land deed to prove anything, but this kind of soil-related things can be more vividly explained.

"China is willing to exchange 300 miles of land in the west for the benefits of friendship and exchange between the two countries. Shui Zhen summed it up in one sentence.

In this day and age, trade between countries is the act of merchants themselves, not between countries, and Shui Zhen wants to start state procurement, purchasing large quantities of food from accompanying countries to meet the needs of increasing the population.

To be a messenger, one must have a good image, two must have a good speech, three must have a good brain, and the fourth must have the ability to make decisions, and the will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, and the same is true for the envoy, if you encounter any conditions, you have to return to China to ask, then in terms of the length of the journey and the limitations of the means of transportation at this time, it is estimated that nothing can be negotiated in a year or two.

The envoy of Suiguo was moved, and he responded very decisively, saying that he would go back to speak on his behalf, and the western country and Suiguo also have a border, and if these three hundred miles are given, there is no need to be separated from the air, no matter how you think about it, it is much more cost-effective than a princess who is destined to be sent to Chu State.

"There is another matter, our princess was killed on the way to get married, this matter is likely to be the work of another country, in a vain attempt to destroy the friendship between our two countries, our monarch wants to send someone to investigate, and please give your country a convenience. ”

Shui Zhen said that cross-border investigation is not an easy thing to do, because people are not familiar with the place, and second, it is easy to cause diplomatic disputes.

Seeing that he had made such a solemn proposal, the envoy of the entourage had made such a small request, and he had long been immersed in the joy of opening up the territory for his country, so he casually complied, "What's so difficult about this, I will write a letter to you here, and you can ask the local officials for assistance." ”

Although Jiangguo and Suiguo are bordered, but the two countries have different scripts, and there are many differences in pronunciation, Shui Zhen can rely on his strong spiritual power to pass the test smoothly in language, but when it comes to words, it is not an overnight thing, and finally this handwritten letter was approved by the old prime minister, which made Shui Zhen put his mind at ease.

"What do you want this for?" Sending the messenger away, the old prime minister asked Shui Zhen.

"I just long to have a place like Suiguo, where there is a lot of food!" Shui Zhen smiled meaningfully, his ambition was never hidden, if he didn't want to destroy the country in a few years, then he had to move now, and he couldn't delay a minute or a second.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

I don't remember where I saw it, and it is unthinkable to say that such a large number of immigrants were released to Western countries as in the history of the country.

Hehe, I just want to say, they don't have that many people, oh, and they don't have that big of a place.

In some historical periods, I feel a sense of accomplishment when I see a map, and in some periods, I want to cry when I see a map.

Good night!
