Chapter 190: Yue Meng
Gongziyu pursed his lips, why don't he communicate with the Central Plains, it is not that he has been jointly suppressed by Qi and Chu.
Previously, the Wei State was strong, and the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu and Qi were pressed and beaten by the Wei State, and had to form an alliance to protect themselves, and at this time Qi and Chu were allies. Soon after suppressing the Wei State, another Qin State emerged, attacking the city more ruthlessly than the Wei State, and then Qi Chu formed an alliance and prepared to suppress the Qin State.
Qi and Chu have been allies most of the time in these years, and there has been too little time for hostility.
As for his own Yueguo, he was first ready to pick up cheap from Qi, but because of various reasons, Yueguo was defeated one after another, and finally moved the capital from Langya in Huaibei to Wucheng in Jiangdong, and Huaibei was almost all lost, so they were all lost.
After moving the capital to Wu, the contradictions between Chu and Yue intensified, first the king of Chu mourned and ravaged, and then the king of Chu Wei was rampant, and a small part of the Huainan land of Yue was lost.
Now, starting from the national capital Wucheng, using a fast boat, it takes less than a day to arrive at Guangling in Chu State...
If it weren't for a big river in the middle, I'm afraid that the whole country of Yue would not be able to sleep now, and the capital would have been moved back to Huiji a long time ago.
Gongziyu sighed in his heart, if it weren't for the two countries of Qi and Chu, why would Yueguo, the legacy of the dignified overlord, end up in such a miserable situation.
Ejun didn't care what Gongziyu thought in his heart, he smiled and said: "Now that Chu and Yue have formed an alliance, and Yue has also made contact with Sanjin, it is time to contact all countries in the world!" ”
Ejun paused for a moment, and then said: "Our Chu and Yue countries are the two countries that produce the most silk in the world, and they are sought after by nobles from other countries. ”
"And that's not all." E Jun said with a smile: "The tortoiseshell of Yue Kingdom is unique among all countries, and it is deeply loved by nobles from all countries, which is also a big deal. Moreover, the swords, beauties, spices and so on of the Yue Kingdom are all famous. ”
Saying that, Ejun smiled meaningfully at Gongzi Yu: "If the king of Yue agrees to communicate with other countries, then these specialties of Yue can bring great wealth to Yue country, and the treasures of various countries will continue to flock to Yue country." Thinking that the Qi country can become the richest country among the countries just by virtue of the benefits of fish and salt, isn't the Yue country unintentional? ”
After speaking, E Jun sighed with emotion: "As soon as I thought of such a large deal waiting for me to do, I couldn't sleep well, and after arriving in Guangling, I came to Wucheng non-stop." ”
Gongziyu's eyes lit up and said: "Ejun's words, I have relatives in my heart. ”
Gongziyu naturally knows how big the wealth is that Ejun said, although the Yue country is blocked by Qi and Yue, but the Yue country has not lost contact with other countries, and there are not many caravans, but it only restricts the exit of war preparation materials, and closes many passes.
Of course, Ejun is not the only big businessman who does business with Yue in private, but Ejun's identity is special, and the border between Yue and Chu is the longest, and there are rivers and waterways, so Ejun will become the largest foreign businessman in Yue's foreign contacts, and even he, the eldest son of Yue Wang, is a partner of Ejun.
For this situation, King Yue knew very well, and even contributed to the trouble behind his back, after all, King Yue also needed the treasures of other countries.
Ejun said happily: "Childe, now that I have become the Shou of Guangling, and the two countries of Chu and Yue are already allies, as long as I let go of the road from Yue to Jiangxi in Guangling, and the King of Yue can open a few more checkpoints to Yue Guo, then wealth will roll in." ”
Gongziyu and Zhang Yi swallowed a big mouthful of saliva at the same time, glanced at each other, and both saw the intention in each other's eyes, so they nodded together.
Gongziyu said with a smile: "Ejun is worthy of being a famous businessman in the world, and he really has a unique vision." ”
"There, there." Hearing this, E Jun smiled and said: "At this time, I still need the son and the doctor to help the king of Yue." ”
Gongziyu agreed: "Just by virtue of the friendship between Ejun and me, Ejun has something, how can I stand idly by, not to mention such a beautiful thing, I will definitely help." ”
After a pause, Gongziyu invited: "It is difficult for Ejun to get Wucheng, I will see Queen Yue tomorrow, and I will wash the dust for Ejun in the house." ”
E Jun smiled: "Then disturb the childe." ”
Gongziyu and Zhang Yi left the hotel and immediately went to the Yue Palace.
At this time, in the Yue Palace, King Yue, Gongshiyu and Shangqing Yuemeng were waiting.
After Gongziyu and Zhang Yi sat down, King Yue asked, "How, why did Eqi come this time?" ”
"Back to my father..." Gongziyu recounted what he learned from Ejun.
"Doing business... Open Levels..." King Yue wrinkled his forehead and asked everyone: "What do you think, should the widow agree to Ejun." ”
After thinking for a while, King Yue hesitated: "Our Chu and Yue have attacked each other for nearly a hundred years, and the alliance between the two countries is just to deal with the Qi State, and now the Qi State has been weakened, and the foundation for our alliance with the Chu State is gone, and the Guangling City of the Chu State is aimed directly at Huainan, and it is too close to Wu City, and the widow is worried that the Chu State has bad intentions this time." ”
Yue Meng was the first to speak: "Great King, there are three main places where the Chu State borders my Yue Kingdom, one of which is the east and west of the river, then Huainan, and finally Huaibei. ”
"There are not only many small countries in Huaibei, but also Huaibei borders with Qi State, which is intricately intertwined, and the whole body is affected, and my Yue country also has a heavy defense, Chu State wants to attack Huaibei, not only need to transfer troops from other places, but also to obtain the support of Qi State, otherwise once Qi State intervenes, Huaibei will be in chaos, so Huaibei Land is now enough troops, no matter which country of Qi and Chu comes to attack, my Yue Country is fearless."
As for the question of Qi Chu's attack at the same time, Yue Meng did not mention it, and King Yue did not ask, but it was just to shrink the sphere of influence.
Yue Meng continued: "And the Jiangdong region, there is a river in the northwest, my Yue Guozhou Division and Chu Guozhou Division are evenly matched, with this natural danger, it is difficult for the Chu army to break through, and the west Peng Li Yang Han road is rugged, the population is not enough food and grass, it is difficult to support a large number of troops, plus the continuous support of our Yue homeland, so it is extremely difficult for Chu to attack." ”
King Yue nodded, the war between Chu and Yue has been going on for many years, Jiangdong has not been disturbed by the war because of natural dangers, and there is an accident in Yueguo, either Huaibei or Huainan.
Yue Meng said heavily: "The only place that is easy to be attacked by the Chu State is Huainan, Huainan is flat and basically there is no danger to defend. In the past, Wu attacked Vietnam, and almost all of our Huainan region fell, and the Yue country was divided into two and suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, Wu Qi died early, and Chu was in turmoil, so I could recover the lost territory of the Yue Kingdom, otherwise there would be no territory of my Yue Kingdom in Jiangbei. ”
Later, the former king of Chu attacked again, and the ditch was almost unsafe, and it was also because of this. My Yue State and Chu State share Huainan, and there is really no danger to defend. If the state of Chu intends to cut down Yue, then it must be in Huainan. ”
