Chapter 384: The Secret of Nanhou Mansion
"If Hou Ye has nothing else to say, then listen to the kid talk about Hou Ye's confusion, what do you think?"
Seeing that Lu Xun and Li Hao didn't dare to speak, Lihua immediately smiled and spoke.
"I think Master Hou must know that among the various forces in the world today, the biggest enemy of Xiao Dadanyu's Great Xia Kingdom is none other than the Qin State in a remote corner.
Hou Ye's analysis of this point is very correct, and his guess is very accurate, because if Hedong is occupied by the Rong people, then there will be no force in the north to pose the slightest threat to the expansion of the Great Xia Kingdom.
And the Rong people will also march south without a trace of worries.
Therefore, if he can kill Zuo Gengli Hua, who is regarded as the number one enemy by the Xia Kingdom, it will indeed make Xiao Dadan Yu and the Rong Kingdom breathe a sigh of relief.
Maybe they will really not send troops to invade Lingnan while they are happy, and they can make Shu survive for a long time.
But since Hou Ye can have the idea of favoring a corner of Anling Lingnan, it shows that Hou Ye also does not have a trace of optimism about preserving the territory of Shu.
That's why Hou Ye thinks it's a good way to abandon the car and protect the handsome.
However, I would like to remind Hou Ye that I am afraid that in the future, the Rongdi people who immigrated from the north to Shu will march to Lingnan sooner or later.
When the time comes, does Hou Ye still have a car to discard?
You must know that the Rong people have been nomadic for generations, and they are not willing to farm obediently in the designated area.
I don't think Hou Ye will not know that now in the counties of my Qin country's homeland, the contradictions between the Rong and Qin people have already intensified, if it weren't for Xiao Dadanyu forcibly suppressing the Rong Di tribes, I'm afraid that the country of Daxia would have already been exposed, and the flames would have been in flames.
Therefore, Xiao Dadan Yu came up with a solution to the contradiction, that is, to obtain as much land as possible for the Rongdi people, and this demand will never end.
Now that the State of Qi has died, Hou Ye thinks that the Rong people's next attention will shift to the State of Chu or the State of Shu? ”
Lu Xun listened carefully to Zhu Lihua's words, and the flying arrow on the table in front of him also made him have to take Zhu Lihua's problem seriously.
So when Lu Lihua finished speaking, Lu Xun said slowly with a puzzled look on his face: "The rivers, lakes and seas of Chu are densely distributed, and the climate is humid and hot, although the country has a vast land area, it is indeed not a good place for nomadism.
Therefore, the next sight of the Rong people must be Shu.
However, I had expected this for a long time. ”
After hearing Lu Xun's words, Lu Lihua suddenly applauded, and then he said to Lu Xun with an encouraging look:
"In this case, why didn't Shu choose to defend with danger, but instead feared war?
First of all, Liu Xiangbang still pursued appeasement, neither united with other countries to resist the war, nor mobilized the whole country to defend the passes everywhere, looking like a dead pig.
Later, there was a feudal official who only wanted to be in a corner of peace, relying on drilling camps to take advantage of it, wagging his tail and begging for mercy to gain the joy of the enemy country.
With such an act, don't you want to think about whether you are worthy of Wang He's marshal and whether you are worthy of Yao Jun's great grace? ”
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and in the end, he raised his finger and asked about it.
And Lu Xun faced Lu Lihua's sarcasm and questioning, and a trace of anger suddenly rose on his face, especially when Lu Lihua mentioned Wang He and Yao Jun, the green tendons on Lu Xun's face were also exposed, and his teeth were even more clucking.
Finally, when Lihua finished speaking, Lu Xun still wilted like a frosted eggplant.
He lowered his head and shook his head slightly, and then he heard a sound like a mosquito and a fly.
"Do you want to send troops to defend the enemy from the borders of the country? But where can I hold even if I have hundreds of thousands of troops?
On the front line of Longling, Gongzi Tu was bewitched by the old thief of Uncle Yan Duan, and he had already been eyebrow with Rong Guo.
And the line of falling cherry blossoms is Liu Xiangbang's sphere of influence, and he has never allowed others to get involved.
If I insist on leading the army north, then how can Liu Xiangbang's army withstand the Rong soldiers and horses, and then the Narong people will drive straight into the country and wrap my Longling defenders with dumplings.
It has become a secret that Uncle Yan Duan took refuge in the Rong army, and you must be able to guess what will be the fate of my hundreds of thousands of troops at that time.
So if you call me you, how do you choose? ”
"Yes, Master Hou is right.
From a military point of view, your hundreds of thousands of troops should indeed guard the five mountains and moats of Nanling, so that they can have a chance to protect the national glory of your Shu Kingdom.
But in that case, the seven million people in Shu Kingdom, who can protect their lives and dignity for them?
Did the Hou Ye ever think about throwing his people to the Rong people to ravage, becoming inferior slaves and being wantonly tortured and killed by the Rong Di people, and what was the difference between what Zhao Yuan did in the past? ”
"No, it's different.
He is here to flatter, and I am here to continue the national honor! ”
"Hahahaha, is Master Hou deceiving himself?
Could it be that Zhao Yuan is to flatter Zhao Zhize, and you are not flattering Chief Rong?
After I came to Shu, I saw that the people were living and working in peace and contentment, and it was rare to see a sad face on everyone's face.
This is very different from the face of my Qin people who wander and panic every day in order to survive, what is this reason for.
I guess it's because the people of Shu know that their country still has hundreds of thousands of troops protecting them, and this country surrounded by moats will never fall.
But sadly, they don't know that you, Liu Xiangbang and Gongzitu have given up on them, and the people of this country where the world once admired heroes like Wang He.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt how sad the people of Shu should be. ”
"You don't have to say cool things, because I won't give up the plan we agreed on a long time ago because of personal humiliation, and even if I die and Hao'er dies, this plan will still be carried out.
If I agree to resist the attack of the Rong State with your Qin State because of impulse, then with few chances of victory, my Shu Kingdom will also fall into a catastrophe and lose the last trace of vitality.
So sometimes I have to make the right choice, and no matter what I choose, someone will sacrifice. ”
After listening calmly to Lu Xun saying all his scruples, he couldn't help but be speechless for a while. Because how can those who are also holding the ears of the same country not understand the truth in Lu Xun's words.
But after a while, Zhu Lihua still said in a deep voice: "Since the Hou Ye is not afraid of death, and the Hou Ye does not care about the life or death of the prince, then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
After Lu Xun listened to Lu Lihua's words, he smiled, immediately raised his head, exposed his neck and said, "If you want to kill, kill it, but I didn't expect that one day I, Lu Xun, would die in my own mansion." ”
"No, I won't kill you, I will only advise you to lead the people to flee to Lingnan as soon as possible after today."
Lu Xun lowered his head, and was stunned in surprise as he was pushed out of the door by the entourage beside him, but after a few breaths, he hurriedly raised his hand and shouted to the distant Lihua: "Wait, what are you going to do?" ”
Lu Lihua slowly turned his head and smiled at Lu Xun and said, "Originally, I still had a glimmer of hope for you, Master Hou, but now it seems that I was indeed wrong."
So I'm going to carry out my plan.
Those who hinder the overall situation of the resistance to the war will die, and the first person to die should be the Duke of Shu who pretends to be sick.
If it weren't for his greed for life and fear of death, how would Shu Kingdom become what it is now. ”
Lu Xun was shocked when he heard this, he didn't care that there were still people waiting for an opportunity to spy on his life, so he quickly stood up, and said in a trembling voice to Zhu Lihua:
"No way, how did you know that?"
Lu Lihua smiled coldly, he naturally wouldn't tell Lu Xun that the Yu Xin'er he used would be his own woman.
Yu Xin'er can come and go freely in and out of Nanhou Mansion, and was given to Liu Zhi by the Duke of Shu, and the Duke of Shu has a close relationship with Nanhou, so how can such a simple guess be hidden from Zhu Lihua.
And Lu Lihua was still just a temptation, but Lu Xun easily got into the routine set up by Lu Lihua.
"Not only do I know about this, but I also know where Duke Shu is hiding, I don't know if Master Hou will believe it?"
After speaking, Zhu Lihua nodded to Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi immediately led a retinue who carried a box into the hall next to him to the entrance of the palace, and lit a sky-high cannon next to the guards of the Hou Mansion who were armed with weapons.
"Boom, bell!"
A loud noise reached the ears of Lu Lihua and Lu Xun, and at the same time, there was a slight but audible sound of footsteps from the roof of the hall.
Zhu Lihua knew that this was Yu Xin'er's deliberate voice after hearing her words.
She wanted to lure the ambush she had arranged to the hiding place of the Duke of Shu.
But the sound of footsteps came into Lu Xun's ears, but it suddenly made the marquis of this country feel like the wind was blowing and the grass and trees were all soldiers.
Especially when the men who were standing next to more than a dozen large boxes calmly opened the boxes and took out all kinds of blades from them, Lu Xun's face turned even pale.
"You're using me?"
Before Lu Xun could speak, Li Hao roared angrily at Lu Lihua.
Those boxes were indeed protected from the guards outside the Hou Mansion because of him, so he suddenly realized that this Lihua had been using himself from the beginning.
Otherwise, how could he be the first to come to him when he came to Nanhou Mansion.
"Brother Li, it's boring to say this. Didn't Brother Li want to use me when he was in Liu Xiangbang's mansion? ”
As Lihua's words fell, Li Hao was also speechless by Lihua's reply, so he had to look at Lihua angrily and didn't know what to say.
Lu Xun turned his head and glared at his son, and then just as he wanted to speak, he heard the shouts of killing in the direction of the back of the hall.
The place where the voice came from was where the Duke of Shu was hiding, and the Duke of Shu, who had long been said to be sick in the White Tiger Hall of the Shu Kingdom, was just an arranged puppet.
Listening to the shouts and killings from loud to small, from far to near, Lu Xun's face was finally like ashes, he knew that even if his Hou Mansion was guarded strictly, it was impossible to arrange thousands of troops and horses in the Hou Mansion in Yidu City.
Therefore, when he heard the roars and shouts of the warring men and horses, there were thousands of people, he immediately understood that Lu Lihua was prepared today, and the number of his men was only a lot more, and he felt the hiding place of the Duke of Shu clearly, so a sense of powerless frustration immediately knocked Lu Xun to the ground.
"It's over, Shu is over."
Looking at Lu Xun, who was bowing his head and muttering, finally after the shouting and killing gradually stopped, Zhu Lihua opened his mouth and said:
"Master Hou doesn't have to be like this, killing Duke Shu won't do me any good.
Therefore, as long as Hou Ye can cooperate with me and work together to fight against the war, then for today's rude behavior, I will naturally give Hou Ye a satisfactory explanation. ”
