Zhang Shaoyun came to the gate of Lingcheng City very early to greet Wang Fugui.

"General Wang, saddle your horse all the way, come with me into the city."

"General Zhang was re-sent back to Lingcheng to form the Royal Lingcheng Battalion, what a gratifying congratulations!" Wang Fugui said: "Why are you here to greet the officials of the state capital of Lingcheng?"

"They all went to the capital to recover because of the disappearance, and I am responsible for entertaining General Wang and Miss Xu."

"That's really a problem for the general." Xu Yan said: "We may have to stay for a period of time, and we won't go back to Changling until we figure out what happened, so the two of us can feed and have a place to live."

"Yes, you two come with me."

Zhang told the two that the disappearance of people in Lingcheng was said to have started three months ago, and that most of the missing people were boys and girls.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, the new palace of Xiliang Kingdom was built half a year ago, and at the beginning, many laborers died during the construction, and it was rumored that there were unclean things in that land, which also caused a sensation at the time, but I didn't expect this Xiliang people to use this method of driving piles."

Zhang Shaoyun was also very angry: "It's just a loss of conscience to arrest people in our Dou country."

"It sounds ridiculous that a boy or a girl died unjustly and became the guardian of the building." Xu Yan said: "We must find out about this matter."

……

Black Country.

"Your Majesty, Wen Qian's body has been brought back."

"King Wenjun! It's all your idea, and I'll just say that this fairy tale is unreliable, and you have to listen to it. Jin Chengshan, the lord of the Black Kingdom, said: "That's the 500,000 army that I put together with Brother Ji Wang, the army is gone, we can still recruit troops, but what about moving?" I've always treated him as my own son, and he's your own son! ”

"This king has been punished, and he deserves to be punished." King Wenjun said.

Jin Yishan, the king of jealousy, said: "Brother Huang, the king of the county, don't be too anxious. The decline in the national strength of my black country comes from the heavy agriculture and light business, and it is reasonable that I can't beat Dou Guo, we just lost the bet once, I want soldiers and people, I can pull the army up again at any time, the most important thing at the moment is not revenge, but to protect myself. ”

"What do you think about the prince?"

"Distant and close attack."

Long-distance and close-range attack comes from the "Warring States Policy", when the powerful Qin State was worried about unifying the world, Fan Sui said: "The king is not as good as a long-distance friend and a close attack, and if you get an inch, you will be the king's inch; The ruler is also the ruler of the king. This is a famous sentence that Fan Sui persuaded the King of Qin. At the end of the Warring States period, the Seven Heroes competed for hegemony. After the Qin State changed the law, its power developed the fastest. King Qin Zhao began to plot to annex the Six Kingdoms and dominate the Central Plains. In 270 BC, King Zhao of Qin prepared to raise an army to conquer Qi. At this time, Fan Sui presented the strategy of "distant friendship and close attack" to King Qin Zhao to prevent Qin from attacking Qi. He said: Qi is powerful, and it is far away from Qin, and to attack Qi, the troops will pass through Han and Wei. There are fewer troops, and it is difficult to win; Send more troops, and even if you win, you will not be able to occupy the land of Qi. It is better to attack the neighboring countries of Han and Wei first, and gradually advance. In order to prevent Qi from forming an alliance with Han and Wei, King Qin Zhao sent envoys to take the initiative to form an alliance with Qi. For more than 40 years, Qin Shi Huang continued to adhere to the policy of "distant friendship and close attack", and made friends with Qi and Chu, first conquering Han and Wei, and then marching from both flanks to break through Zhao and Yan and unify the north; Conquer the state of Chu and pacify the south; In the end, the Qi country was also cleaned up. Qin Shi Huang fought for ten years. Finally, the wish to unify the world was realized.

"Lord Ji also wants to unify the world with the Black Country, can't you?"

"I have this heart, but the strength of the black country now does not allow it." Jin Yishan said: "But one thing is certain, now Ju Guo has also fallen out with Dou Guo. Shao Changzhu of Ju State exchanged 300,000 troops for Jinzhou, but was tricked by Liu Dehao, and ended up losing his wife and breaking his army, Shao Changzhu's son Shao Wei died in the hands of Dou Guo, King Ju was indignant in his heart, and he fell seriously ill after returning to Ju State. ”

"Yes, we will use this matter to unite with the Ju State, make friends from afar and attack closely, both countries can be saved, and there will be a chance to fight with the Dou State again in the future."

Jin Chengshan told King Ji: "But I heard that Shao Changzhu has contracted a disease, and I am afraid that he will be exhausted and die soon."

"King Ju is dead, and the crown prince has ascended the throne, that is to say, it is not Shao Changzhu who wants to unite with us, but Shao Yu, who is about to become the next lord of Ju. The contradictions between Dou and Ju have intensified, and Shao Wei must want to avenge his father and brother, and we are about to take advantage of this. ”

Jin Chengshan said: "Then I will immediately send someone to take a detour to Ju country."

"There is a Dou country between the two countries of Ju and Hei, I'm afraid it's not easy to do."

"I'm afraid it's not okay to take the sea route from the east, King Jing's naval army has become famous in this battle, and no one dares to send troops in this Rin Sea and Yan Sea. We can only go from the west. ”

"In the west, there are two small countries, Xiliang and Beichen, Beichen is an ally of our Black Country, easy to talk to, but Xiliang people...... They are all brutal by nature, and they are reckless and good, not to mention that the Black Country and Xiliang have no diplomacy. Jin Yishan said.

King Wenjun said: "Now the Central Plains Continent can be called the word strength, only the three kingdoms of Hei, Dou, and Ju, just Xiliang, how dare you easily offend our country?" That's it, go west. I sent my men. ”

……

Ju country, Ju capital.

"Father!" Shao Wei lay in front of the bed and looked at Shao Changzhu: "Father, you can't leave me and my mother!" ”

"Xi'er, it's my father's fault that I didn't protect your brother well."

"No, it's the fault of the people of Dou Guo, I must avenge Brother Wang."

"I just want ...... I hope you can do what your father didn't...... When you grow up, I don't want our country of Ju to be someone else's slave anymore, I want everyone in the world to call you Your Majesty, not King Ju. ”

Shao Xi said: "Father, the independence of Ju is just around the corner, although we have lost 300,000 troops, but we still have an army in our hands, I will lead the troops back now, Dou Guo...... Liu Dehao, I want him to pay for his life! ”

"No!" Shao Changzhu stopped him: "Revenge, it is to be avenged...... But...... But don't rush it. ”

"Father!"

"Our Ju country needs to recuperate, my father can't hold it anymore, and I can't see the day when Ju country becomes independent, I hope you can complete this thing......"

"In this matter, the son must do it for his father."

"Remember, not for the Father, but for the Nation. You must have the world and the people of the world in your heart to be a qualified monarch. ”

"Son-in-law obeys the teachings."

Shao Wei went out to ask the doctor how long his father's body could last.

"The king of Ju was born out of a rush of fire, and he contracted a cold on the way back, which aggravated his condition. Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that it will not last for a few months. ”
