. Spring goes to winter, and before you know it, it has reached September of the tenth year of the Han Kingdom. Now, it has been just one year since Yang Zilu and Tian Chang formed an alliance. In the past year, the world has once again spent a rare year without war. Qi was "chaotic" in the country, while Zhiyao of the Jin State was arrogant and domineering, which further intensified the contradiction between the four kings, and the Jin State did not have the ability to start a war with the outside world, and the other small countries were weak and did not dare to go to war easily.

However, the peace also ended there, and in mid-September, the state of Chu began to reorganize its armaments and send people to declare war on the state of Zheng. Declaring war with Zheng Guo, King Chu Hui didn't dare to hide Yang Zilu, because how long did he hide it? If you anger Yang Zilu and find an excuse to suppress Chu State, you won't be able to eat and walk around.

"Da Ming Fu ...... "Jingbei Servant Chengzi Lu knocks to see the king!" The former county Yin of Chu Guoquan County, and the current doctor Wei Zilu of Chu State, bowed respectfully to Yang Zilu.

"Flatten! What is the matter with Xiong Zhang sending you to see the widow? Yang Zilu opened his eyes and said nonsense, with the energy of the platform, how could Yang Zilu really not know the purpose of Cheng Zilu's visit this time?

Chengzi Lu Bi said respectfully: "Zheng Guo bullied me for the weakness of Chu State, it was for injustice, and it was for unbelief that I undertook the covenant of Chu State."

Now the people of Chu are angry. The state of Chu is preparing to start a war against the state of Zheng, and the ministers have come to inform the king! ”

Yang Zilu pretended to be blank and asked, "Oh! You say Zheng Guo bullied Chu State? And the covenant of the state of Chu? What's going on? As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to fight a dog, doesn't Zheng Guo know that Chu Guo is a hunting dog of the countrymen? This is too much to look down on the Han Kingdom, right? ”

When Chengzi Lu heard this, he couldn't help but "show" a touch of shame and anger on his face, just like the so-called beating people don't slap their faces. Yang Zilu's words seem ordinary, but he is actually slapping Chu State in the face and trampling on the dignity of Chu State with his feet.

In ordinary language, Yang Zilu hinted to Wei Zilu again and again, your Chu State is a widowed dog! If it's a dog, you have to listen to the owner, don't bite people!

Chengzi Lu has a good city government in the end, and although he is angry, he quickly suppresses his shame and anger in the bottom of his heart. Wei Zilu's face returned to his previous respectful look, and he responded: "That's the case, when the Chu State participated in the alliance of the soldiers, it had an alliance with the Zheng State.

Zheng Guo would pay tribute to Chu every year, but two years earlier, Zheng Guo did not attack. My Chu State naturally sent people to question, and Zheng Guo said that there were many thieves in the country, and the countrymen had many crops to rob, and they could not afford to pay tribute. My Chu State is not an unreasonable country, so I exempted Zheng Guo from paying tribute this time! Knowing that Zheng Guo did not pay tribute last year, he sent someone to question this time, and the reply was that Zheng Guo had just sent troops to pacify the thieves. Consumed a lot of military spending, unable to pay tribute! ”……”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he felt funny, three years ago it was when the Han State attacked the Chu State, and at that time, the Chu State had already fallen into the disadvantage. No matter how stupid Zheng Guoren is, he will not pay tribute at this time. The state of Chu was defeated, its strength declined sharply, and it was strange that the state of Zheng also paid tribute to the state of Chu.

Chengzi Lu said angrily: "The third time, Zheng Guoren is too much of a bully!" actually said that now that the overlord is the Jin State, how can the Zheng State pay tribute to the Chu State? Isn't this Ming bullying my Chu State? So I decided to return a tooth for a tooth! As for the king, Zheng is just a small country, and Chu does not dare to bother the king to send troops. Kill chickens with a knife! ”

Yang Zilu didn't speak, thought for a while, and then nodded to Cheng Zilu and said, "Well, this should be a tooth for a tooth!" Although you didn't let the widow send troops, it stands to reason that the widow should also help his dog! It's a pity that now the money and silk of the Han State are used for internal affairs, and they can't afford to send troops. Otherwise, the widow will definitely destroy Zheng Guo! However, the widow can fund 3,000 stone grain in the Chu State, and you Chu State have to work hard! Don't waste your food! ”

"Thank you!" When Chengzi Lu heard this, he was so angry that he scolded Yang Zilu for being shameless. What Yang Zilu said is better than blowing, what is the use of 3,000 stone grain? It's just enough for 3,000 people to eat for 20 days, and there is not much difference between Yang Zilu's giving and not giving this grain. However, Wei Zilu had to pretend to be grateful, which made Chengzi Lu extremely aggrieved, and he couldn't wait to draw his sword and smack Yang Zilu.

Yang Zilu said: "Don't be polite, you are a widow's dog, and the widow has to give you a bone no matter what." All right! If there's nothing to do, you go down! ”

"Yes!" Cheng Zilu was so angry with Yang Zilu that he could barely control himself, but in the end he endured it. Comfort yourself in your heart, I have finally completed my goal, bear with it!

If you can't bear it, you will be "chaotic" and plot to be yin!

With the spirit of Ah Q in his heart, Cheng Zilu's mood also improved a lot. In fact, Cheng Zilu came this time to block Yang Zilu's mouth. Let Yang Zilu have no excuse to stop Chu from sending troops, and at the same time reap the benefits of this dispatch. Strictly speaking, Cheng Zilu overfulfilled the task, and there were 3,000 stone of grain given by Yang Zilu, although these grains were a little bit weaker, but they were better than nothing.

When Cheng Zilu left, Yang Zilu immediately ordered a soldier of the Yulin Army: "You immediately go and summon the head of the inter-stage station to the widow, Remnant Zhu, to see the widow!" Speed up! ”

"No!" The soldiers of the Yulin Army answered, and were just about to withdraw, when one foot had already crossed the threshold.

At this time, another soldier of the Yulin Army came in and reported to Yang Zilu: "Lord, the head of the station, Dr. Zhuzhu, asks to see you!" ”

Yang Zilu didn't expect things to happen so quickly, and waved his hand at the soldier who had ordered to call Remnant Zhu before, and said, "Well, you stand down!" Come on, summon the remnants of the bamboo in! ”

The two native soldiers of the Yulin Army agreed, and it didn't take long for the remnants of the bamboo to stride into the main hall.

"Lord!" Remnant Zhu saluted Yang Zilu.

Yang Zilu glanced at the remnant bamboo and said, "No courtesy!" Remnant bamboo, how did you find out about the news that the widow asked you to investigate? Xiong Zhang (Chu Hui Wang's name), this guy actually started a war against Zheng Guo, he definitely didn't think that Zheng Guo had been bullied by Zhiyao a few times, he could also bully him, right? The widow must have something inside to see this! Even if Xiong Tong is stupid, Shen Baoxu and Ye Gong are not stupid, how can they start a war with Zheng Guo! ”

Remnant Zhu took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve and said, "The minister also came to see the Lord for this matter, and this is the latest self-scoop information." It should be possible to solve the "confusion" of the Lord! ”

After saying that, he was going to take it up to Yang Zilu to see. Yang Zilu shook his head and said, "The widow won't watch it, you can read it to the widow!" Keep it short, don't give a long speech to the widow! ”

Remnant Zhu answered, and did not take out the information from the bamboo tube to read, it seems that Remnant Zhu had read it in detail before coming. After organizing the language, Remnant Zhu spoke: "According to the news from the fine work in Wancheng, two years ago, Xiong Zhang believed that the reason why the Chu State lost to the Han State was because the armament was not as sharp as the Han State. So he spent a lot of money and sent people to various places to recruit famous craftsmen to develop new weapons for the Chu State. Among them, I found a craftsman called Ban in Lu State, he has the most outstanding ability, and has been awarded the official position of a scholar by Xiong Zhang!. ”

"Ban?" Yang Zilu was stunned and muttered. I don't know why, he feels that this name seems to be a little special.

"Yes, Lord, this craftsman class, because he was born in Lu country, some people call him Lu Ban. In addition, it is said that his surname is Gongyi, so some people call him Gongyiban! What's wrong, Lord? Could it be that the Lord knows this person? Remnant Zhu asked with some curiosity.

When Yang Zilu heard this, he was taken aback. **, how did Lu Ban get kidnapped by the State of Chu? No, I have to find an opportunity to turn Lu Ban over from the Chu State. It's really not good, just let the people in the stage rob it, I still don't believe that Xiong Zhang's kid dares to resist.

"Lord, is there anything wrong with this?" Looking at Yang Zilu's shocked look, Remnant Zhu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and secretly said in his heart: Who is this Lu Ban from? Isn't it amazing?

Thinking of this, Rean Zhu suggested: "Lord, do you want to send someone to the Chu State to ...... this guy named Lu Ban" Speaking of this, Rean Zhu made a throat-cutting action to Yang Zilu.

Although Yang Zilu was shocked, he quickly calmed down, guys like Gou Jian, Fan Li, and Fucha were all defeated by themselves, what about Lu Ban? Yang Zilu quickly cleaned up his mood, waved his hand at the remnant bamboo, and said, "No, and you don't make your own decisions about this matter." Lu Ban's affairs have their own opinions, don't send someone to kill Lu Ban privately. Okay, that's the end of this topic, and Remnant Zhu continued with the topic just now! ”

"Yes!" Although Remnant Zhu didn't know what Yang Zilu had in mind, he didn't dare to speculate, and continued: "After a year of research and development, this guy named Luban invented a siege weapon that is said to be called a ladder. In addition, a Thunderbolt was copied, but it was not successful, and the "firing" range was only 50 zhang. It's worse than a bow and arrow! ”

Yang Zilu frowned and sneered: "It seems that Xiong Zhang is not stupid, knowing that Zheng Jun's combat effectiveness is not very good, he is strong in defense." He is ready to use the cloud ladder to capture a few Zhengguo cities by surprise! ”

After a pause, Yang Zilu instructed Remnant Zhu: "You immediately send someone to Zheng Guo, no!" Spread the news everywhere that Chu State was making ladders and trebuchets to prepare to attack Zheng State. Let's take a look at the widow, how the Chu State will deal with the difficult tiger! ”

When Remnant Zhu heard this, he immediately understood what Yang Zilu meant, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile and said: "Lord, please rest assured, this matter, the minister will know what to do!" It is guaranteed to make the people of Chu anxious! ”

Yang Zilu nodded, he believed that Remnant Zhu would not let him down in this matter.

It had only been about ten days since Yang Zilu and Remnant Zhu had finished talking, and all the princes in the world had already known the secret weapon of the Chu State. Almost everyone in Zheng Guo knows that Zheng Guo is naturally prepared, Zheng Guo was originally prepared to defend the border, so that the people of Chu would retreat and leave. First, I am afraid of drawing out the Han State to retaliate, after all, the Chu State is no longer a vassal state of the Han State. Second, not to mention the need to mobilize a large number of troops in field battles, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army is not bad. Although the state of Chu is in decline, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the state of Chu has not yet fallen to the extent of being bullied by Zheng Guo.

But it seems that in this situation, the only way to change the strategy is to change.
