Gongziyu nodded, and then said with a smile: "General, the widow was able to succeed in ascending the throne this time, thanks to the assistance of the general and the support from the Chu State. Therefore, the widow thought about it again and again and decided to hand over all the land of Huaibei to the state of Chu to express the widow's gratitude to the state of Chu and fulfill the friendship between Chu and Yue. I wonder what the general thinks? ”

Zhao was stunned, and his heart was suddenly suspicious.

The land of Huaibei is more than 1,000 miles, and now most of it has been divided between Chu and Yue, of which Chu occupies most of it, and the remaining territory occupied by Yue is also not small, more than 400 miles.

In the previous agreement, the state of Chu only needed half of it, more than 200 li.

Now, Gongziyu actually plans to give up all the land of Huaibei to the Chu State, which is a generous gift.

Gongziyu is willing to send it, and Chu Guo will naturally not refuse, but how could Gongziyu be so reluctant?

Zhao Hua secretly guessed, could it be that Gongziyu was uneasy in his heart, worried that it would be difficult to resist the pressure of Qi State?

Therefore, it is necessary to give up Huaibei and let the state of Chu resist the pressure of the state of Qi!

Or is it worried about the state of Chu, so you want to abandon Huaibei and stick to Huainan with all your might?

Or do you want to throw out the land of Huaibei and lure the two countries of Qi and Chu to compete for food, and they can't take care of Yue Guo for the time being, so that Yue Guo has enough time to recover?

The thoughts in his heart continued, but it did not prevent Zhao Slip from responding: "The king sent such a heavy gift, and the minister thought that if the king of Chu knew, he would be very happy." ”

Gongziyu said with a smile: "If you can please the king of Chu, then the widow will be satisfied." Without further ado, this matter must be informed to the King of Chu as soon as possible. ”

Saying that, Gongziyu looked at Zhao and said: "The general is from the Zhao clan of the Chu State, and he has contacts with many ministers of the Chu State, so the widow wants to entrust this time to the general, and asks the general to send someone to inform the King of Chu as soon as possible, and talk about the widow's heart for the King of Chu." ”

Zhao Hua immediately responded: "The king, please rest assured, and the minister will send someone to inform the king of Chu of the king's intentions later." ”

Gongziyu smiled: "In this way, the widow is gone, but it is a matter of heart." ”

While he was talking, a guard came in and reported: "King, General Zhang Yi asks to see you." ”

Gongzi Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and Zhang Yi came to ask for a meeting at this time, which undoubtedly meant that he had already controlled the part of the Vietnamese army under Gongshiyu.

Thinking about it, Gongziyu responded: "Quickly invite General Zhang Yi in." ”

"No."

Soon, Zhang Yi, who was happy, walked into the hall from the outside, came to Zhaohua's side, and saluted Gongzi Yu: "The king, the minister has not disgraced his mission, and has surrendered all the defenders of the Gongshiyu Department, and he has come to return to the king." ”

"Okay." Gongziyu showed such a look, and then asked, "During the surrender, did anything unexpected happen?" ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "Thanks to the divine power of the king, after the minister threw the head of Gongshiyu into the barracks, it didn't take long for the generals in the barracks to hear that Gongshiyu was plotting rebellion, but was killed by the king, so they immediately put down their weapons and came out to surrender. ”

When Gongzi Yu heard this, all the flesh in his whole body relaxed, and he smiled: "In this way, a big thing will happen!" ”

Sighing, Gongziyu ordered: "General, although all the defenders of Wucheng are now under our control. However, they were only forced by the situation to surrender. Therefore, the widow Xiang took the opportunity to work the army in order to appease. After a while, I will be able to make them work for me. ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately bowed: "King Xie." ”

Gongziyu waved his hand, and then smiled at Zhang Yi: "General, this time the widow can successfully ascend to the throne of the king of Yue, and the widow has made great contributions, so the widow wants to worship the widow as the secretary, and I don't know if the widow is willing to continue to assist the widow." ”

As soon as Zhang Yi heard that Gongzi Yu had given him the position he had always dreamed of, he immediately bowed his head and bowed: "King Xie." ”

Gongziyu nodded, and said to Zhao Slip: "Since Mr. entered Vietnam, the widow has intersected with Mr. for several years, and I know that Mr. is a great sage in the world. Therefore, the widow hopes that Mr. will not take the Yue country as a small thing, and wants to ask Mr. to serve as the secretary of the Yue country, I wonder if Mr. is willing to continue to stay in the Yue country and assist the widow? ”

Zhao Hua smiled when he heard this, and said, "I am willing to share my worries for the king." ”

Gongzi Yu was relieved when he saw that Zhao slip agreed.

In the next time, perhaps, he, the king of Yue, will need to rely on the state of Chu for a long time.

And this Zhaoslip is a symbol of the friendship between Chu and Vietnam.

After a pause, Gongziyu's face showed a hint of fierceness, and he said coldly: "Two virtuous people, few people have heard of it, the way to govern the country lies in clear rewards and punishments, and there are rewards and punishments, so that the country can be stabilized." Therefore, the next thing is how to deal with these traitors in Gongshiyu, I don't know what the two virtuous ministers think will deal with. ”

Zhang Yi has always had a grudge with Gongshiyu, and when he heard Gongziyu's words at this moment, he immediately showed a trace of ruthlessness, and suggested with his hand: "The king, these people in Gongshiyu not only support Gongzi's hooves in a rebellious way, trying to hinder the king's accession to the throne, but also attack Gongzi's left and right. ”

After a pause, Zhang Yi saw Gongziyu showing a look of approval, and his heart was relieved.

Then, thinking of those who supported Childe's hoof, he smiled coldly in his heart.

Most of the people who support Gongzi's hooves are Yue people, and most of the people who support Gongzi Yuren led by Zhang Yi are Wu people.

The two parties have been fighting for many years, and they have long looked at each other unpleasantly, and they can't wait for each other to die.

Now, with such an opportunity, Zhang Yi naturally would not let it go, but took advantage of the victory to pursue and said: "The king, not only these people from Gongshiyu, but also those who have always supported Gongzi's hooves in the court before, cannot be let go, and must be severely punished." ”

Zhao Hua was originally worried that Gongzi Yu would open up and appease many ministers, but at this moment, when he heard that Zhang Yi was going to retaliate, he immediately complied with the words: "King, what Shangqing said is extremely true, govern the country, convince the ministers, use virtue on the top, and use authority secondly." In the current situation, it is difficult to achieve the goal of using morality to influence the ministers and the city guards in various places. Therefore, it is better to retreat and seek the next best, kill and kill, and suppress the ministers.

At the same time, the people who were originally attached to the king were greatly rewarded, and in this way, it would not take two or three years for the entire Yue Kingdom to be controlled by the king. ”

Saying that, Zhao Hua secretly thought: If this strategy is implemented, maybe within two years, the country will be stabilized.

It's just that can Yue Guo hold out for two months?

Thinking about it, I smiled in my heart.

Gongziyu naturally didn't know what Zhao Hua was thinking again, so when he heard Zhao Hua's suggestion, he couldn't help but nod.

He seized the throne through a mutiny, and in this case, without screening the ministers, he rewarded them lavishly, which not only made it difficult to win the hearts of the ministers who were originally attached to the prince's hoof, but also centrifuged the ministers who were originally attached to him.

Zhang Yi and Zhao Slip's suggestions were exactly what he wanted.

As for Yue Meng's suggestion to pacify the Yue people not long ago, Gongziyu planned to wait for the situation in Yue to calm down a little before appeasing and wooing them.

Thinking about it, Gongziyu said to Zhang Yi: "Xianqing, then this matter will be handed over to Qing to deal with." ”
