Chapter 354: Huan Yu moved
Huan Yu stood on the top of the inner mountain, looking at the already drooping and old Zhewang Qu Yan dragging the bloated figure away, so that Huan Yu couldn't help but sigh a little, Zhewang Qu Yan was once an unstoppable general, but he didn't expect the comfort brought by the rich Zhecheng, so that it degenerated into the current situation where even the mount needs to be supported.
Zhecheng is very rich, how can it be simple to make the fiefdom that can resist the value of the Beizhu Kingdom, occupy the surroundings of Zhecheng, and can pull up 100,000 soldiers and horses in a few days, so when King Shou Huan Yu heard that King Zhe Qu Yan said this, he was also a little moved, but he did not immediately agree.
Zhewang Qu Yan was not busy urging, he also needed Shouwang Huanyu to figure out whether he could take on the position of the Northern Pillar Kingdom of Jing State.
Shouwang Huanyu, who returned to Ganyukou, also informed the military advisor Ma Liang of this matter, and Ma Liang made such a promise to Zhewang Qu Yan, and he was only a little surprised after calming all the doubts, Zhecheng is a piece of the fattest fat in Jing Kingdom, whether it is Hengyang guarded by Dongzhu State, or Wuling guarded by Xiong Ji of Xizhu State, or even Yingdu guarded by Tiangong, all of them are not rich in Zhecheng.
In other words, whether it is Zhurong Tiangong, or any soldier in Jingdi, when he hears the name of Zhewang Qu Yan, he will also be inexplicably trusted, and the reason is precisely because this Zhewang Qu Yan is a student of the Huang Lao School, and he has always believed in the rule of inaction without fighting or grabbing.
Ma Liang said: "King Shou, this King of Shou is a hundred miles of rich land, if it occupies Zhecheng, even if the Lord of Heaven should not allow King Shou to do anything in the future, King Shou can also be the master alone, when the time comes, compared to the two pillars of the East and West, King Shou can also deal with it alone, King Shou, this is really a golden good time!" ”
"Naturally, I know about it!" Shouwang Huanyu nodded, Zhecheng is just a place of a few counties, and the population is only tens of thousands, but compared to Nanjun and Jiangxia, it is undoubtedly a rare and rich land, and King Shou also knows what Zhecheng means to Shouwang Jun, but then he said worriedly: "But what I am wondering about is that Qu Yan has always obeyed the edict of that old thing, but now he is throwing such a big bait at a certain thing, aren't you afraid of the old thing in Yingdu's reproach?!" ”
Ma Liang frowned and said, "Could it be that King Shou is worried about what kind of calculation King Zhe has in saying this?" ”
"That's not ......" Huan Yu waved his hand, after all, Huan Yu still believed in Qu Yan's character, what he was really worried about was Yingdu's side: "I'm worried, that old thing has always been quiet, it can set off a bloody storm, although Qu Yan, the king of Zhe, has always obeyed his orders the most, but I'm afraid that Qu Yan's plan is not the calculation of escaping the old thing after all!" ”
"The calculation of the Heavenly Lord? ......" Ma Liang was shocked: "Could it be that Tiangong can really anticipate things like a god?!" ”
Shouwang Huanyu sighed lightly and said: "That old thing is just a farmer in the fields of Luodi in the past, but it is also not a production, how can the means of being able to bag the five pillars of the former Jing Kingdom as a means can be described as a god, but that set of reincarnation of the heavenly prince, after all, is just fooling the world, this old guy, the most known is the human heart......
"Although King Zhe Qu Yan has always been obedient to him, but in the end, he is the King of Zhe, the head of the Five Pillar Stone Generals!" King Shou glanced at the outline of the inner mountain, and finally said: "King Zhe Qu Yan, a certain person knows his intentions, it is nothing more than not wanting to wait for half a lifetime of hard work to be wasted, now that the Chu State has allied with the Qin State and the Wu State, the Dongzhu State is already overstretched to deal with the Chu State, even if Xiong Ji is supported, I am afraid that it can only be equal to the Wu State, but this northern border...... I'm afraid that it is a certain Nanyang who resists the Qin people, and the king of Zhe is also unable to go into battle in person, so in order to be able to resist the Qin people, the king of Zhe does not hesitate to promise Zhecheng ......"
Ma Liang asked, "Is that King Shou going to fulfill the promise of King Zhe?" ”
Shouwang Huanyu nodded and said: "Most of the Nanjun area occupied by a certain is close to the river, but there is only one Yancheng, but it is a small city of dozens of miles, it may be difficult to feed the Shouwang army, and trading with the Qin people to exchange Jing people for food is not a long-term solution, if Zhecheng can be obtained, the Shouwang army can be restored to its heyday again, and it is not inferior to the east and west two pillar countries, and it will not be able to carry out another northern expedition in the future...... Regain the northern part of Nanjun and Jiangxia, and fight against Yingdu! ”
Hearing this, Ma Liang nodded, according to King Shou, it is undoubtedly an excellent arrangement, if King Zhe Qu Yan can coexist peacefully with his own King Shou, then who else in Jing Kingdom can crusade against King Shou's army? Is the remnants of the Northern King Miquan's army defeated!
Ma Liang said excitedly: "If King Shou really controls the number of places in Zhecheng, it may not be able to restrain the armies of the two pillar countries in the east and west, and the king of Zhe has not done anything for so many years, but among the armies, he is still respectful to the king of Zhe, isn't it because the king of Zhe has mastered the money bag of the Jing country!" ”
"Yes...... King Shou nodded, remembering the kind of sweet thing that is a specialty of Zhecheng, that is, in Fangcai, he also watched King Zhe Qu Yan take a mouthful, being able to eat such precious things as rice, it is really a bit too wasteful, of course, King Zhe can be so wasteful, Shou Wang Huan Yu is not at all strange, it is precisely because Qu Yan has mastered Zhecheng.
Zhecheng gets its name from a plant, which is a kind of human-tall plant, called "Zhe" by the locals, Zhecheng does not seem to be anything unusual, but in fact, Zhecheng contains rich sweet juice, and the taste of this thing is almost the same as that of spirits, especially after this is pressed and dried, it can crystallize into a lump the size of a bean, which is easy to carry.
For the land of Jingchu, salt is already very expensive, so that ordinary people in Jingdi can only eat raw meat to obtain the necessary salt for the body, and even drink blood, but in fact, the price of Zhe is still several times that of salt, and it is Zhecheng that contains rich Zhe, which can be exchanged with Chu and Wu Yue for a large amount of white salt, which is also the reason why King Zhe is popular in Jingguo.
In these years, in addition to satisfying the needs of his subordinates, Qu Yan handed over all of them to Yingdu or distributed them to the local army, including the Shouwang army.
Just as Shouwang Huanyu intended to move the promise of King Zhe Qu Yan, it was a sudden message that made Shouwang Huanyu look furious, and scolded King Zhe for "puffing the husband to cheat".
It was the voice that the messenger transmitted: "Report ...... Shou Wang Jun! Yanling ...... Yanling has been captured by Wuling County of the Xizhu Kingdom, north of Ganyukou, all of them have been lost, and Xiong Ji of the Xizhu Kingdom has already led the troops to kill! ”
