Yang Zilu saw that Hou Xiong was not in a hurry to persuade himself, and couldn't help but nod his head secretly, although Hou Xiong still has the shortcomings of resourcefulness and indecision, but in time, he can still be alone.

Yang Zilu said calmly: "You are only seeing the surface of the Han Kingdom now!" But have you ever thought about the core of the Han Kingdom? Han has developed so fast over the years! It's as fast as a galloping carriage, and if we don't control his speed, the axle will break. And have you thought about it? How many years have it been since we annexed the country of Vietnam? Swallowing half of the Wu Kingdom, do you think the Han Kingdom can control such a large territory? ”

When Yang Zilu said this, he paused, glanced at Hou Xiong, and then continued: "Although Fucha is ruthless, he has avenged He Lu and defeated the invincible Qi State, and now he is about to achieve the real hegemony of Wu State!" The people of Wu already have hopes for Fucha. In this way, the Dingkou we get is unstable in people's hearts, and they think about the night and want to restore the land. And if they were to be included in the Han Kingdom, their numbers would make up the bulk of the Han population. If someone provokes a little and makes them uncover the rod and cause trouble, what do you think the widow should do? Make a clean sweep of? Or appeasement? Or kill a group and appease a group? But no matter what, it will put the Han Kingdom in a precarious situation. ”

(To mention here, although He Lu defeated the Chu State, he was not really the overlord.) The real overlord is that all the princes of the world have to pay tribute every year, so He Lu is not a real overlord, at most he can only say that he has the strength to become an overlord. The hegemony of the state of Wu was achieved in the hands of the husband. When Hou Xiong heard this, he thought for a while, and had to nod his head, he knew that what Yang Zilu said was not wrong. The current Han State is still very weak, and the current strength of the Han State is only more than 10,000 people, not that the Han State cannot afford to raise many soldiers. It's that Yang Zilu can't believe all the remnants of the Yue Kingdom, thinking that they haven't relented yet, and is afraid that giving them weapons will make them a disaster for the Han Kingdom.

If you add the unstable wild horse of Wu State, the carriage of Han Kingdom is likely to fall off the cliff because of the uncooperation of this wild horse. Rather than this, it is better to let go.

Yang Zilu continued: "But the widow is not giving up the land in his hands for nothing. If the husband returns, the widow will naturally ask the husband for a huge ransom, even if the husband is unwilling, but at the moment he has no food, the soldiers rushed back from more than 3,000 miles away, and the soldiers' families are in our hands. In such a situation, Fucha had no other way than to agree to our harsh conditions, so that Fucha would collect heavy taxes on the people of Jiangbei (north of the Yangtze River). ”

"But what about Jiangnan? Jiangnan is the foundation of Wu, especially the cities around Taihu Lake, it can be said that more than two-thirds of the wealth of Wu is concentrated in Jiangnan! Hou Xiong asked suspiciously, he believed that Yang Zilu would not do nothing in Jiangnan, but he wondered, what kind of pit did Yang Zilu leave for her husband to step on?

And this pit has to be stepped on by the husband.

If you talk about imposing heavy taxes, it is impossible, Fucha is in Jiangbei at this time, Jiangnan is still under the rule of Yang Zilu, even if Fucha wants to levy it, it is impossible. After paying a huge ransom, even if the husband is taxed, it will not be as ruthless as Jiangbei, and it will be within the tolerance of the people of Wu Guoguo. After all, although the husband is arrogant, he is not a fool.

Yang Zilu smiled mysteriously and didn't answer directly. Said: "Didn't you just ask the widow, why did the money be distributed to the people of Wu State?" ”

Hou Xiong suddenly understood, it turned out to be from here! Although Yang Zilu gave those people of Wu Guoguo money, he did not give it for free. It's just a different way to give, to transport the food and property back to the Han Kingdom, you need people to carry it. Yang Zilu recruited men from all the countries of Wu to carry them. After carrying it, he gave them a lot of money, which was almost like giving it away for free. It's like asking you to carry it for a day to get a copper coin, and now you're getting thirteen or fourteen copper coins, or even more.

But will the doctors and magnates of the Wu Kingdom care about how the people of the Wu Kingdom get the money that originally belonged to them? When these doctors and magnates of the Wu Kingdom returned to Gusu City, they found that all their finances had been looted.

Will they not be heartbroken? Yang Zilu: They obviously can't find trouble now, and they can't afford to find trouble. At this time, they found that a quarter of the money actually went into the hands of the people.

Will they be indifferent? Will they be generous enough to lose a quarter of their wealth? Especially when they have nothing left now. Then these powerful people will undoubtedly choose to put pressure on the husband.

And will the husband challenge the elite class for the sake of these countrymen? The end result will naturally be that the husband orders all the money to be recovered, but will the situation be so ideal?

Those powerful people have suffered heavy losses, won't they want to make a fortune on the people? What's more, in the eyes of the Chinese people, all that money was exchanged for by them, plus the wealth that exploited them for no reason. There is no doubt that after this time, the people of Wu Guoguo will be resentful of Fucha and even all doctors, and the contradictions between the two sides will become more acute.

Of course, there will be some people who know the consequences of this, but have they stopped the greed of the nobility? Their opposition is like dropping a small stone in the waves of the sea, and even under the sound of the waves, they can't even hear the sound of falling into the water.

"Figured it out?" Yang Zilu saw that Houxiong showed an expression of sudden realization and admiration, and estimated that he had figured it out. Yang Zilu asked with a smile.

Hou Xiong nodded, and said with emotion: "The wisdom of the Lord should be the crown of the world!" In this way, the foundation of Wu Guo is like a wooden building in disrepair, swaying in the wind! ”

Yang Zilu smiled indifferently, took a piece of fish into his mouth, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and then continued: "Not only that, there is another thing that you didn't find. ”

When Hou Xiong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he asked curiously: "Oh! I don't know what traps the Lord left behind for the husband to step on consciously? ”

"Have you noticed that the widows sent troops to remove all the bronzes of the palace and the ornaments of the palace?" Yang Zilu asked, Hou Xiong nodded, and then said with a suddenly realized expression: "Lord, the minister understands, Fucha is not a person who can be frugal in plain clothes!" After he returns to Gusu City, he will definitely collect heavy taxes and repair the palace immediately! ”

"Wrong!" Yang Zilu shook his head and said firmly.

"Huh!? Isn't it? Hou Xiong was stunned, did he say something wrong? That's not right! Fucha is not a person who knows what it means to be frugal in plain clothes. How could he allow himself to live in an empty palace with no ornaments?

Yang Zilu smiled, pointed to Gusu Mountain outside the city and said, "The one above, the widow didn't let people demolish it!" The husband came back, and the first thing he did was to restore the work there! ”

Hou Xiong understood, Yang Zilu's trap turned out to be on Gusu Terrace! The Wu Palace has already been destroyed for hundreds of years, and the restored Wu Palace is as good as the newly built palace? With the surname of Fucha, he will definitely mobilize the people to build Gusutai with all his might. In this way, Wu is not only a matter of financial resources, but also has to be conscripted into labor. I'm afraid that Wu Guomin's resentment will have to go to the next level!

Yang Zilu said with a smile: "You may not have thought of a problem, Gusu Terrace is to be built!" But the Wu Palace is equivalent to the ancestral house. How could Fucha and Wu Guo's offensive ignore him? In this way, with the surname of the husband, it is naturally impossible to do things hastily. This is equivalent to letting Wu build two palaces with the power of one country! The king of Shang lost the world by building a deer platform, and the Shang Dynasty perished! What's more, how about the husband to build two? ”

Hou Xiong couldn't help clapping his palms, and sighed with admiration on his face: "After two or three years, the Lord will find another opportunity to send troops, how dare the people of Wu State not eat pot pulp to welcome the king?" In another three or four years, the people's hearts will be stabilized, and the lord can succeed! The Han family is exciting! ”

Yang Zilu scolded with a smile: "Your later words are too exaggerated!" Well, the dishes and chopsticks are here, and it is better to taste this fat fish with the widow than to compliment the widow! ”

Hou Xiong smiled wryly and focused on the braised fish.

After Hou Xiong went back, he said what he and Yang Zilu said, and the generals immediately realized that Yang Zilu's plan was like this. The generals originally resented Yang Zilu, but after hearing these words, everyone immediately felt that their old faces were red, and their hearts were ashamed, and they were more convinced of Yang Zilu.

In fact, Yang Zilu deliberately didn't say it, and waited for these generals to send people to ask, just to produce such a psychological effect. First suppress and then promote! Let the generals first resent themselves, then be ashamed, and then be convinced of the plan. This made Yang Zilu's prestige in their hearts increase, which was much stronger than Yang Zilu saying it directly.

Unlike Yang Zilu, who enjoyed the braised fish in Taihu Lake in the Wu Palace, the original owner of the Wu Palace was in a hurry at the moment.

"What do you say? Gusu City has been captured by Yang Zilu? The husband looked at the messenger with a shocked face.

"Yes! King! This news villain dares to vouch for it with a human head, it is absolutely true! The letter replied in a hoarse voice, in an affirmative tone.

The husband said a little angrily: "What about the prince? Didn't the widow leave the prince in prison? ”

"Prince......" A touch of sadness flashed in the messenger's eyes, and he said in a mournful voice: "The prince and the prince and the prince Sun Miyong and other doctors have all been martyred!" ”

When the husband heard this, he said, "Oh! For! For! He took a few steps back, almost unsteady on his feet, and was about to fall to the ground.
