Saying that, Gongzi Yu pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Why don't the Chu army stay in Wucheng for a few days, so that the widow can show his heart to the Chu army." ”

Zhao Ying saw that Gongzi Yu's smile was a little unnatural, and naturally he would not take this seriously, besides, whether it was Sima Tang Yu or him Zhao Ying, they didn't want to wait any longer.

So, he shook his head and said: "Thank you Gongzi for your kindness, but the 80,000 army is outside, and the consumption of military food is huge, and with the strength of my Chu State, it is also extremely difficult." Therefore, the general has already ordered that the army will leave tomorrow to return to Chu. ”

Gongziyu's heart was relieved when he heard this, and he said with great regret on his face: "It's a pity, the widow originally wanted to invite the general and Sima to get together tomorrow and have a drink, but I don't want to, it's a pity that I didn't have this opportunity." ”

Zhao Ying didn't react to Gongziyu's closeness, and then spoke: "Childe, before leaving, the general has three things to explain to Gongzi?" ”

Gongzi Yu was stunned, and said, "I don't know what Sima commands?" ”

Zhao Ying said: "First, in order to help Gongzi this time, the food consumption of Chu State is huge, and now it is insufficient, so the general sent it down, hoping that Gongzi can borrow 100,000 stone grain from the Chu army, so that the Chu army can return to Chu smoothly." ”

Gongziyu nodded.

The situation of the Chu State, he naturally also knew that although the Chu army outside the city was not short of food, but this time the Chu State attacked Wei Zhuyue and dispatched nearly 500,000 troops, and the consumption of food was naturally not a few.

Although the lack of food in Chu is somewhat exaggerated, the consumption is huge, and Gongziyu fully believes it.

So, Gongziyu sent the tiger on his side away, and said generously: "General, the widow is willing to send 300,000 stone of grain from Wucheng, which can be transported to the Chu camp tonight, and these grain widows plan to send all the grain to the Chu State to express their gratitude to the King of Chu." ”

"In this way, thank you Childe for the following." Zhao Ying showed a smile at this time, and then bowed.

Gongziyu pursed his lips, 300,000 stone grains, and only in exchange for a smile and a salute, this price is also expensive.

After a pause, Zhao Ying continued: "Childe, ten days ago, when my Chu army entered Vietnam, I borrowed the Guyang ferry from Gongzi, and now that my Chu army has returned to China, this Guyang ferry naturally needs to be returned to Yue. Therefore, when I asked Gongzi to send someone to receive the ferry, the people in the face thought that our Chu State had borrowed and had not repaid, and planned to forcibly occupy the ferry port of Yue State. ”

After speaking, Zhao Ying showed disdain, as if he had been insulted.

Since the Chu State forcibly occupied the ferry, there have been rumors in Wu Chengzhong that the Chu State built Guangling City, and now it has occupied the Guyang Ferry, which must be a plot against the Yue State.

At this moment, Gongzi Yu saw that Zhaoyu showed disdain, and openly made his words clear, and couldn't help but say: "Where does the general say, how can the widow doubt the mind of the Chu State!" The people who spread such rumors are just a wedge between the widow and the Chu State, and I hope the general will not doubt the widow's intentions for the Chu State. ”

After a pause, he said: "Later, the widow will send a thousand Yue troops, follow the Chu army, and go to Guyang with the Chu army, just wait for the Chu army to leave, and immediately accept the ferry, so as to quell the rumors in the Yue country, and show the Yue country fathers and elders that the two countries are close and the friendship lasts forever." ”

Zhaoying nodded, and then, looking at Gongzi Yu who was sitting on the throne of King Yue, said: "Childe, this third thing, the general asked me to remind Gongzi that the State of Chu has completed its promise to Gongzi Yu, and next, Gongzi should have something to say." ”

Gongziyu hesitated and said: "General, the widow of Huaibei has long been dedicated to the King of Chu!" ”

Zhao Ying's face sank, and he said solemnly: "Childe, have you forgotten the promise you made to Sima Zhaoju not long ago?" ”

Gongzi Yu was stunned, and immediately understood what Zhao Ying said, so he immediately laughed and said: "Misunderstanding, don't worry, general, this matter has always been remembered, and you don't dare to forget it for a while." It's just that the widow has not officially ascended the throne yet, and it may be inappropriate to marry Sima's daughter at this time. ”

Zhaoying shook his head and said: "What's wrong with this, Gongzi will be on the throne in a few days, and Gongzi will send someone to Yingdu to greet his relatives, and then wait for the daughter of Sima of our country to come to Yue, I'm afraid it will take a month, between one back and forth, there is enough time." ”

"This..." Gongziyu looked at Zhao Ying hesitantly, not understanding why all of a sudden, Zhao Ying's marriage issue was so quick and tough.

Could it be that there is a major event in the north, so the state of Chu is in a hurry to marry the Yue country in order to stabilize the Yue country?

Gongziyu was secretly suspicious

Seeing that Gongzi Yu did not agree immediately, Zhao Ying's face suddenly sank, and he said in a gloomy tone: "Shouldn't Gongzi see that the big thing has been accomplished and the throne of King Yue is already in the bag, so he plans to break his promise and even betray the Chu State?" ”

As soon as Gongzi Yu heard that Zhaoying's tone was wrong, he remembered the 80,000 Chu troops outside the city, and immediately waved his hand and said, "General, the widow has no such intention." It's just because Chu is a big country, and Chu Sima Zhaoju is the office of Chu State, with a high and powerful position, so he is thinking about who to use to go to Yingdu to greet his relatives. ”

When Zhao Ying heard this, he immediately said: "Gongzi can successfully take charge of the Yue Kingdom, and my Chu State has contributed a lot. Now the prince plans to marry the queen to the state of Chu, such a grand event, it is reasonable to send Shangqing to Yingdu, so it is not rude. ”

"What?" Gongziyu and Zhang Yi were shocked.

After the two of them glanced at each other, they immediately glanced to the side and slipped silently, and then a thought flashed through their minds at the same time:

No wonder Zhao Ying asked Gongzi Yu to send someone to Chu State to welcome his relatives at this time, it turned out to be for Zhao Slip.

When the king of Yue was about to ascend the throne, the state of Chu brought the head of the ministers, Shangqing Zhangyi, to Yingdu, probably to remind the Yue country, and the next secretary of the Yue country, the Chu state should support Zhao to take the throne.

It's just that seeing that Zhao was expressionless, he had to be silent.

At this time, Zhao's heart is as calm as water, without any traces.

The first two requirements were Tang Mo and Zhao Ying's ideas, and they had nothing to do with him, and now Zhao Ying's requirements are the most critical part of Zhao Ying's plan.

On the surface, it was to fight for the position of the head of the hundred officials of the Yue Kingdom, but in fact, it was to transfer the military commander in Wucheng, so that Zhang Yi could not command the defenders in Wucheng, and took the opportunity to get rid of Gongziyu's arm.

For this reason, it is even possible to use the state of Chu to threaten.

Anyway, Gongzi Yu and Yue Guo have no future.

"What, doesn't Childe think it shouldn't be like this?" Zhaoying waited for a while, and when he saw that Gongziyu did not respond, a trace of anger immediately appeared on his face, and he said in a loud voice: "Not long ago, Gongziji, the younger brother of the King of Qin, came to greet his wife, and the King of Qin sent his servant Gan Mao to Yingdu to greet him. Now that the prince wants to marry the queen, will he only send an ordinary secretary to Yingdu?

Even if Gongzi loses this person, is it possible that if my Chu State marries a daughter to Gongzi as a queen, will I just send a doctor to send my relatives?

As the hegemon of the world, our country still needs to be faced! ”
