On the other hand, all kinds of situations in Jiangdong have also begun to spread to all sides, to all parts of Chu State, and to all countries.

The closest place to Koto is undoubtedly an island in the East China Sea.

On the East China Sea, the islands are dense, and there is no lack of people on the island, these people take the tribe as a unit, sailing for the industry and fishing for a living, because they are different from the Wu people and the Yue people, so they are collectively called the Waiyue people.

Dozens of miles overseas, on an island of ten miles in size, there are many wooden houses densely packed with houses, and in the center of the island there is a house that is obviously different from other wooden houses, and it is taller and stronger.

At this time, in the room, Lu Fang took the information from Yuedi from a spy, opened it with a pale face, and after reading it, his face was bloodless and stiffened for a long time.

It wasn't until the silk book in his hand suddenly fell from his hand that he suddenly fell on the desk and cried bitterly: "Woo woo... The minister has the trust of the king, and the country is over... The country is over..."

Seeing this, Lu Lang gently picked up the silk book, and when he saw the content of the silk book, his face also changed slightly.

What is written in this silk book is that during this period of time, the king of Chu issued an edict to thoroughly investigate the news of the population and land.

Seeing this, Lu Lang immediately asked Lu Fang, who was still crying: "Brother, the Chu people are bullying and oppressing the people and ministers in my country, and at this moment, my brother still needs to make an idea." ”

Hearing this, Lu Fang straightened his waist, and asked rhetorically while crying: "Take the idea, what to pay attention to, hide the land, hide the population, this is a stubborn disease that I can't solve in the Yue country, and now the king of Chu uses this to arrest the heroes and ministers of my Yue country, and the law of joint sitting, in the face of such a cruel act, the ministers and people of the entire Jiangdong are all indifferent because of the previous move of the king of Chu to divide the land and give the knights, and there is no slightest change."

In the face of the arrival of Chu officials, they either led the way or informed, and all the arrested targets were all tied. Doesn't all this mean that the King of Chu has already controlled Yuedi? ”

Saying that, Lu Fang cried bitterly again: "Yue Guo is really finished this time, it is really finished, there is no hope of recovering the country, and it will never be able to return to the country again." ”

When Lu Lang heard this, he was silent for a long time, and slowly spoke: "Brother, the Yue Kingdom is completely finished, what about the king, what should we do, what should we do with the soldiers we arranged on the islands, and what about the people we plundered?" ”

When Lu Ban heard this, he immediately stopped crying, stopped his tears, and then looked at the sky outside the house for a long time, and then said: "Go, leave here, the Yue country has been subdued by the Chu people, and in a few years, the people of Jiangdong will all become Chu people, and the Wu people will no longer be Wu people." At that time, we were too close to Jiangdong, and sooner or later we would be discovered by the Chu people. ”

Saying that, Lu Fang lamented: "We should have left a long time ago, a few months ago, after the king of Chu killed the nobles of Jiangdong, he did not give the people of the land to the nobles of the Chu State, but directly distributed it to the people of Yuedi, we should have left." It's just that I still had a little extravagant hope in my heart at that time, so I stayed until now. Now..."

Lu Fang shook his head: "While it is still winter, and the north wind is strong, we will take the king to the south and go to South Vietnam." ”

Lu Lang was stunned for a moment, and muttered softly: "Nanyue..."

······

On the other side, the country of Qi is in Linzi.

At this time, the Prince of Qi knelt in front of King Qi's bed, with a worried face, and read word by word the information from Jiangdong about the King of Chu's thorough investigation of Jiangdong's population and land.

King Qi lay quietly on the bed, wrapped himself in a thick quilt, panting in his mouth, as if the thick silk was pressing him out of breath.

However, even though his body was covered with several layers of silk quilts, which made him breathless, he did not feel the warmth brought by the silk quilts, on the contrary, he still felt very cold at this time.

King Qi already knew that his time was running out, and he knew it for a long time, at least last year, when he was dealing with state affairs, he faintly felt powerless.

However, the prince of Xiangguo suddenly became seriously ill and could not handle state affairs, and the prince lacked experience in governing the country, so he could only try his best to persevere.

At this time, King Qi felt like the lamp that had run out of oil, and the lamp had run out of oil, but in order to emit light and heat, he could only burn the wick in order to make his last effort.

The only thing that pleased King Qi was that his crown prince was extremely intelligent, and he had not made many mistakes in handling state affairs in the past few months.

However, at this time, he didn't care about the heavy silk quilt at all, and just quietly listened to the information from the prince's mouth.

After listening, King Qi frowned, recalled all the things that King Chu had done in Yue in the past few months, and then sighed for a long time.

Then, King Qi looked at the prince who was approaching and asked, "Prince, what do you think of this piece of information?" ”

The prince looked at King Qi with an expectant face, muttered for a while, and said slowly: "Father, the son thinks that the Yue Kingdom is over, and there is no hope of completely recovering the country. ”

Hearing this, King Qi was noncommittal and continued to ask, "What else?" ”

When the prince heard this, he looked at King Qi again, and couldn't see anything from King Qi's face, so he could only continue: "Father, since there is no movement in Yuedi, and Jiangdong is too far away from Qi State, I can't directly intervene in Qi Country Whip Commander.

Therefore, Erchen thought that instead of letting General Zhangzi continue to garrison Qinghe and causing hostility between Qi and Chu, it was better to let General Zhangzi return to ease the relationship between Qi and Chu. ”

"Yes, see the subtleties." King Qi smiled, and then continued to ask, "What else?" ”

"And?" The prince was stunned, he said everything he should have said, how could there be.

Thinking about it, the prince bowed to the king of Qi: "Father, the son is stupid, please make it clear to my father." ”

King Qi smiled when he heard this: "My son is smart and does not lose to others." However, the words of the crown prince are the words of the courtiers, not the words of the king, so my father often said that the prince is the prince of the country, and he will inherit the position of the king of Qi in the future. ”

Saying that, King Qi smiled and said, "Prince, do you know what my father just heard the news and thought of?" ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then shook his head blankly.

Seeing this, King Qi sighed: "My father remembered the grand occasion of destroying Yan back then. ”

"Kill the swallow." The prince was stunned for a moment, and then found a look of regret on King Qi's face, and his thoughts changed, and he reacted instantly.

After his father heard what the king of Chu had done in the Yue Kingdom, he must have regretted in his heart that he had used the wrong strategy after destroying Yan back then.

When the Qi State destroyed the Yan State, it was supported by the Yan people, and hundreds of thousands of Qi troops completed the feat of destroying the Yan State in just fifty days, which can be described as a glorious time.

It's a pity that the hundreds of thousands of Qi troops at that time, instead of appeasing the people and ministers of Yan State, acted in a hurry and immediately began to purge the nobles of Yan State, causing the Yan people to surrender and rebel, and the entire Yan country was full of smoke, and then hundreds of thousands of Qi troops suppressed the rebellion of the Yan people everywhere in Yan Land.

It was precisely because a large number of Qi troops were pinned down in Yan at that time that Qi had to use the power of Song to resist the armies of various countries.

As a result, the Song army rebelled, and the Qi State was suddenly crushed.

And now the news that Chu is in Yue Di is coming, it is also destroying the country, and it is also looting and killing everywhere, but Yue Guo did not resist everywhere, but gradually stabilized.

Thinking about it, the prince suddenly realized: "Father said that after the destruction of Yan back then, if he did not rush to attack the nobles of Yan State, but first won over the people of Yan Land, divided the relationship between the people of Yan Kingdom and the nobles, and then made a move on the nobles of Yan Kingdom, the situation of Yan Kingdom would inevitably be completely different." ”
