Chapter 187: A Visit to Wu
Guangling is a credit!
Ejun nodded.
As long as Guangling City is not lost, no matter where the Yue Kingdom fights, it needs to worry about its capital at all times, so as not to be attacked by the Chu army from Guangling City to the south.
When the Yue State attacked Guangling, the army arrived at the same time, and in the same way, the Chu State attacked Wucheng from Guangling, and it also arrived at the same time.
If the Yue Kingdom wants to take action, no matter where it attacks, it can't bypass Guangling City.
Guangling City is like a nail, firmly nailed to the throat of the Yue Kingdom, making it difficult for the Yue Kingdom to sleep and eat, thus restraining a large number of troops of the Yue Kingdom.
The reason why Chu has been passive in these years is only because the focus of Chu has been on Qin in recent years, so it has always been on the defensive against Yue, otherwise, there would have been a bloody storm between Chu and Yue.
After Tang Mo finished talking about the affairs of Guangling City, Ejun asked again: "Si Defeat, Qi knows very little about the affairs of Yue Kingdom, don't you know anything to pay attention to?" β
Tang Mo thought for a while, shook his head and said: "My Chu State has worked hard to manage Guangling for several years, and although the current Guangling City is not impregnable, it is not something that can be captured by Yue Guo in a short period of time. Moreover, the Yue Kingdom is not good at attacking the city, as long as the Ejun guards the city, he will be able to protect Guangling without worry. β
"However, I have fought with the Yue State for many years, and the combat strength of the Yue army is not bad, if the Ejun is fighting with the Yue army in the field, it is better to be careful."
Hearing this, E Jun nodded hurriedly, but there was a wry smile in his heart, his family knew his own family affairs, and the field battle was still forgotten, no, this time the King of Chu asked him to come over not to fight, he was to achieve Chu-Yue friendship and maintain the Chu-Yue alliance.
It's not good to think about the big war all the timeΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
After the handover between the two was completed, Tang Mo set off to return to Yingdu the next day, so as not to stay here and feel uncomfortable.
After the Ejun officially accepted Guangling City, he fully accepted the rules formulated by Tang Wu before, focusing on monitoring Wucheng in the south and inspecting Huaishui in the north.
Wu Cheng.
After Gongshiyu got the news that Tang Yu was transferred back by the King of Chu and replaced by the Emperor of Guangling, he immediately rushed to the Yue Palace to see the King of Yue.
After seeing Yue Guo from afar, Gongshiyu shouted with a smile while walking forward quickly: "Great joy, great joy, king." β
King Yue was stunned for a moment, and asked the Gongshiyu who was gradually walking in: "Where does the joy come from, is it the king of Qi or the king of Chu." β
The public master was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Neither." β
Hearing this, King Yue said casually: "What is that? β
Gongshi Yu said happily: "King, it's Tang Fu, Tang Wu's shrinking turtle was transferred back to Chu by the King of Chu, according to the news that Weichen got, a few days ago, Tang Wu had left Guangling City and returned to Chudu. β
King Yue laughed and said, "Is this serious? β
Gongshiyu nodded hurriedly, his face full of smiles.
King Yue was overjoyed and said: "Okay, good, Tang Yu is finally gone, since this shrunken turtle arrived in Guangling City, he has fought two battles with the widow, and the rest of the time has been shrinking in Guangling and not coming out, even if we have formed an alliance with the Chu State, this turtle still implements the previous set, and strictly guards against our Yue country, and the widow has endured him for a long time." β
Saying that, King Yue suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "I know which way Tang Yu took to return to Chudu, let's send someone to do him." β
Gongshiyu sighed and said: "Back to the king, this time Tang Yu took the land route and went to Shou County. β
"It's really hateful and annoying that this shrunken-headed turtle doesn't even take a comfortable and fast waterway." King Yue sighed, and suddenly thought that although Tang Yu was gone, Guangling City was still in the hands of the Chu State, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know who the King of Chu sent to take over the Guangling City Guard?" β
Gongshiyu laughed and said, "Great King, Ejun Qi sent by the King of Chu came to guard Guangling City. β
"E Junqi?" King Yue wondered: "Who is this, there doesn't seem to be this character among the important ministers of the Chu State, but the widow thinks this name is familiar." β
Gongshiyu reminded: "Great King, that big merchant of Chu State, that Ejun near Wancheng! β
As soon as King Yue was reminded, he suddenly remembered what kind of person E Junqi was, and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the profiteer of Eqi, our Yue country has been blocked by Qi and Chu over the years, and this profiteer has not benefited from our Yue country." β
Gongshiyu replied: "It's that profiteer." β
King Yue asked: "This profiteer has done a good job in trading, why did he suddenly become Guangling Shou." Could it be that Guangling's position is better than that of his free-spirited Ejun? β
Gongshiyu shook his head and said: "Weichen doesn't know, it's just the news that came back from the Chu State not long ago, it seems that Ejun had lent ten thousand gold to the King of Chu, and then, it didn't take long for Ejun to be appointed as the Guangling Shou. β
When King Yue heard this, he was surprised and said, "Wanjin?!" It turns out that this profiteer is really rich! Could it be that Guangling Shou this position was bought by him? β
Gongshiyu nodded again and again when he heard this, he was also suspicious.
After being silent for a while, a cold light appeared in King Yue's eyes, and he asked, "The Gongshi has a detailed understanding of this Eqike, can we take this opportunity to recapture Guangling?" β
Gongshiyu hesitated for a moment, and said: "King, Weichen only knows that E Qi is very good at trading, as for E Qi's other abilities, although E Qi has also made military exploits on the battlefield, but he has never been alone, and his ability should not be as good as Tang Yu's, how specific, we still need to observe one or two." β
King Yue nodded and said, "Then send someone to closely monitor Guangling City, and the widow wants to see what this Eqi is capable of." If it's a waste, then don't blame the widow for being polite, the lost land in Huainan will be recaptured by the widow sooner or later. β
"The minister commands."
After a period of time, after the Ejun completely took control of Guangling City, he was ready to start the task of befriending the Yue Kingdom.
After the monarch summoned his subordinates, he spoke: "Before this monarch came to Guangling, the king asked this monarch to make friends with the Yue country after he arrived in Guangling, so as not to alienate Chu and Yue and make waves again. β
"After thinking about it, Ben Jun decided to go to Wucheng in person to show his sincerity to King Yue."
When Song Qing, the prime minister of Ejun, heard this, he immediately stopped and said: "Your Excellency, this time is different from the past, in the past, the monarch was just a feudal monarch of the Chu State, and there was naturally no obstacle to traveling around the world, but now the monarch is shouldering the heavy trust of the king, and Guangling City is not only very important to the Chu State, but also a confidant for the Yue State, and he wants to pull it out quickly." β
"The gentleman goes to Wucheng, it is tantamount to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, I hope the gentleman will think twice."
Zhuang Xin followed: "Please think twice." If the monarch needs to go to the country of Yue to negotiate, he only needs to send an envoy, and as for going to the country of Yue in person, it is not necessary. β
Ejun disagreed: "Don't be surprised, now that the alliance between Chu and Yue has not been long ago, and the Yue State has just fought with the Qi State, at this time, the King of Yue will not attack the Chu State." β
Seeing that others were still trying to dissuade him, E Jun continued: "But what you said is not unreasonable, in case King Yue's brain is hot, it is not impossible." β
The others all nodded when they heard this, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
E Jun said to Song Qing, the prime minister: "Gongzi Yu is the eldest son of King Yue, I have been friends with him for more than ten years, and I have cooperated with him for more than ten years, and I am my friend." Over the years, he has been repeatedly suppressed by the king of Yue, and it has become more and more difficult in Wucheng, if there is no Benjun to cooperate with him, I am afraid he will be struggling. β
"So Benjun plans to ask Gongziyu to help, and at the worst of all, to ensure my safety."
"Gongziyu has always liked beautiful jade, Benjun bought a piece of Kunlun beautiful jade in Qin State three years ago, I have to ask you to go to Wucheng, give Meiyu to Gongziyu, and ask him to help me. In addition, those friends of Benjun in Wucheng have also visited one or two, and if I can say a few kind words, I will be grateful. β
Song Qing obviously didn't want Ejun to take risks, but Ejun had made up his mind, so he could only reluctantly say: "No." β
