Under the inquiring gaze of King Chu Hui, Zixi was the first to speak, but he did not comment on Zigong's words, but asked, "What do you think of this matter, Great King?" Do you think Zigong really thinks about my Chu country? ”

King Chu Hui thought for a while with some distress, and said, "Uncle, the widow thinks that Zigong seems to be genuinely thinking about my Chu country. Although our Chu country has a large land and abundant resources, and there are mineral salt in the territory, it is in short supply. Every time you need to buy salt from other countries, that's just the way it used to be. But now that Wu and Han have a tendency to merge into one, once everything is settled, it will be a little late for Chu to send troops to praise the country! ”

Zixi nodded noncommittally, looked at Ziqi and Gongziqi and asked, "What do you think about this?" ”

"I don't understand! I can't see through Zigong! Ziqi shook his head and said.

Gongzi Qi said: "Actually, why can't we unite with the Han State to attack the Wu State? Obtaining the land of Wu, why should we still care about the princes blocking the salt? After all, although there is a lot of mineral salt in Bao State, in the end, it is the demand for the current Chu State. ”

Zixi shook his head and said, "Actually, none of you have seen the origin of this matter. ”

“？” King Chu Hui and the other three did not speak, but a big question mark popped up in their minds.

Zixi explained: "Since Yang Zilu was born, it has only been seven years, swallowing three Yi in the east and Shanyue in the south. Destroy Gu in the west, and seek Wu Yue in the north. Occupy the vast territory that now stretches for 2,000 miles. Do you think such a monarch would be an incompetent person? Will he send Zigong to my Chu State for no reason? ”

Gongzi Qi couldn't help frowning, and didn't think much about Zigong, but felt danger to Yang Zilu, and said: "Big brother, Yang Zilu is so dangerous, why don't we send troops now, how about destroying him before he grows up?" ”

Zixi still shook his head and said, "It can't be extinguished now, and it's not easy to extinguish." First of all, we have to crusade against the Han Kingdom, and we must dispatch at least 50,000 troops. However, the roads leading to the Han Kingdom are all high mountains and dense forests, the roads are rugged, and the grain and straw transportation are troublesome. And Yang Zilu rose from Shanyue, and only needed to recruit soldiers from the Shanyue people to disturb the grain road. It is enough to put my Chu army in a desperate situation. and then destroy the Han State, the road connecting the territory of the Han State to my Chu State is both rugged and distant, and in the end, I am afraid that it will be cheaper for the Wu State. Fucha is the talent of the overlord, without the Han State on the side, after three or four years of recuperation, in the end, our Chu State is afraid that it will also be oppressed by the Wu State. ”

Obviously, Zixi, who had experienced the almost death of the country at the beginning, was far more jealous of the Wu State than the Han State.

Ziqi and Gongzi Qi, who had experienced this, both nodded vigorously, King Chu Hui had not been far away from this matter at the beginning, firstly, because he was young. Second, it was placed in a city in the northwest of Chu by King Chu Zhao. However, King Chu Hui is obviously also very jealous of this Wu State, which has caused the biggest crisis since the establishment of the Chu State.

King Chu Hui opened his mouth and said: "Uncle, the state of Wu is so dangerous, so it is better to follow my uncle's advice and unite with the Han country to destroy the state of Wu first!" ”

Zixi shook his head and said, "You haven't seen this matter thoroughly, Wu Guo has a bumper harvest this year." Naturally, you will be ready to raise troops, and if you are a husband, what will you do with that country? ”

King Chu Hui said without thinking: "Naturally, it's the Han Kingdom!" If it weren't for the Han Kingdom, the current overlord would no longer be the Jin Kingdom, but the Wu Kingdom! Speaking of this, King Chu Hui immediately understood. If Zigong had another purpose, I am afraid that he wanted to drag the Chu State into the mud of this war.

Zixi nodded and said, "The king thought of it, right?" However, the king may not know that it is simple to unite the Han Kingdom, but will the Han Kingdom send troops as agreed? If we don't send troops, we will mobilize heavy troops at the border, I'm afraid that Fucha will also guess the purpose of our Chu State, even if our Chu State withdraws its troops, we will not dare to send troops to the Han State easily. In this way, it is cheaper for the Han Kingdom. Therefore, the minister believes that the best thing is to do what Zigong said. Let the two tigers of Wu and Han fight each other, and when we occupy the Bao country, we can also calmly clean up the Han and Wu kingdoms that have been defeated by both sides! ”

When King Chu Hui heard this, he couldn't help but secretly admire Zixi in his heart, it was really ginger or old spicy!

The next day, King Chu Hui found an excuse that was too lame to be lame, and praised the country to provoke the border passes, intending to invade our Great Chu. Excuses are lame, but excuses are fine.

King Hui of Chu immediately appointed Zixi as the marshal and the great Sima Gongzi Qi as the deputy marshal, leading 600 military vehicles and 40,000 soldiers to crusade against the Chu State and the Bao State that provoked the border passes of the Chu State.

………… It is said that Zigong stayed in Zaiying, the capital of Chu State, for three days and then left. However, although Zigong took the Yangtze River waterway, he did not go back to the Han Kingdom. Instead, he followed the Yangtze River all the way to Jiuzi, and from Jiuzi entered the canal Xuxi dug by Wu State. Enter Taihu Lake from Xuxi and go ashore at the pier outside Gusu City.

Before Zigong went ashore, Bo Yao had already arranged for a carriage to wait on the dock, and Zigong took the carriage directly to Dazaifu as soon as he got on the dock.

The next day, when the sky was dark, and the chickens had just begun to teach, Bo Yao took a carriage out of the city to Gusutai. Since the construction of Gusutai, the husband has lived in Gusutai, and there are more than 100 beauties with the husband, accompanying the husband to live a life like a wine pond and a meat forest.

When Bo Ya came to Gusutai, the husband was still lying in the beauty country at this moment, and when he heard that Bo Ya asked to see him, the husband sat up from the bed unwillingly. The husband's action made the sleeping beauty wake up a little, rubbed her eyes, and asked with sleepy eyes: "King, why did you get up so early!" ”

But the beauty didn't know her action, and put the crisp that was originally wrapped in the quilt. The chest is exposed. The husband immediately reached out and touched a handful in a daze. smiled: "The widow got up so early to feed you!" ”

"Ahh The beauty immediately screamed, but then looked at her husband with silky eyes. Seeing that the husband was so bad, he couldn't wait to immediately pick up a gun and leap on the horse.

"Ahh My lord, I want it too! In the bed, it was another beauty, who heard the scream, woke up, and saw another beauty seducing her husband, and immediately became jealous. I got up from the bed without reluctance, hugged my husband from behind, and used quite a crisp. The chest rubbed the back of the husband.

"All together!" The husband's face is full of color. As soon as the words fell, the man's gasp and the woman's moaning immediately sounded in the palace. Moaning. As for Bo Ya, he had already been thrown to that desert island in the Pacific Ocean by his husband.

By the time Bo Ya saw her husband, almost an hour had passed. As soon as Bo Ya saw his husband's behavior, he knew what his husband had done before. However, Bo Yao just dared to slander in his heart, and he had to show a flattering smile on his face and said: "Chen Bo Yao has seen the king, but he hasn't seen the king for a few days, and he found that the king is becoming more and more energetic. What kind of panacea did the king take? ”

Although Fucha knew that Bo Yao's words must be flattering, he still couldn't help laughing and said, "Dazai, you are fifty or sixty years old, and you still talk like this." That's right! Why did you come to the widow so early? ”

Speaking of business, Bo Ya immediately turned pale and said: "King, the minister is here to send troops to the Han Kingdom!" ”

"Oh, I wonder if Dazai has any good plans for this?" Fucha sat down and asked with a little curiosity.

"The minister thinks that he should not attack the Han Kingdom!" Bo Yao said in a deep voice.

"Huh?" When the husband heard this, he immediately frowned, and replied heavily, obviously very dissatisfied with Bo Ya's words.

Bo Yao was not flustered, and said unhurriedly: "Please listen to the minister's explanation, the minister is thinking, why is the Han Kingdom so arrogant and dares to attack my Wu Kingdom?" The minister believed that the Han State relied on only two countries, one was the Jin State. I'm afraid this king knows, but the Jin Kingdom is far away, and he can keep the Han Kingdom for a while, but he can't save it for a lifetime! Then it is obvious that the Han barbarians are not only in the Jin Kingdom, but also in the country. ”

"Oh? So what country does Dazai think it is? Because of the indulgence of the husband, he was not in good spirits at this time, but he didn't think of this obvious answer, but he wanted to ask Bo Ya.

"Chu State!" Bo Yao said word by word: "The king may not know that Yang Zilu has sent an envoy to Chu State more than ten days ago to contact Chu State to carve up my Wu State. But the state of Chu seems to have discussed preparing to send troops to praise the country, so the matter has been put on hold for the time being! ”

When the husband heard this, he was furious, Huo Ran stood up, and roared with a hideous face: "These two earth dogs actually walked together and wanted to carve up the Wu Kingdom, and the widow must have taught them to know the power of the Wu army!" ”

Bo Yao immediately said: "The king, please calm your anger, you should be calm about this matter." ”

Although Fucha was actually angry, but at this moment, Fucha's reason also returned, knowing that anger could not solve the problem, and when he heard Bo Yao's words, he also sat down with the boat. He asked him, "I wonder what Dazai thinks about this?" ”

Bo Yao continued: "Great King, the minister thinks that the only way to untie the alliance between Han and Chu is to destroy one of them first, and the other country will naturally become weak!" ”

"Then it's better to attack the Han Kingdom, but Dazai, why did you just say not to attack the Han Kingdom?" Although the husband is arrogant, he also knows that the persimmon is of course a soft pinch.

Bo Yao shook his head and said, "No! O king, you only know one and you don't know the other! Probably the king thought that the Han Kingdom was easy to deal with. But the minister didn't think so. Although the Han State is not strong enough for my Wu State, he will retreat to Zhejiang at most. I, Wu Guo, will be helpless! Especially now that my Wu Guozhou division has been hit hard. In this way, there will be a situation where the snake does not die and is bitten by it. ”

When the husband heard this, he showed a thoughtful look.

Bo Yao pondered for a moment what Zigong had taught him, and then said: "Great King, and this is one of them, and the other is that the Han State has formed an alliance with my Wu State. I, Wu Guo, sent troops for no reason, I am afraid that in the eyes of the world, the king will become a villain without faith and righteousness! ”

Speaking of this, Bo Yao changed his words and said: "But attacking the Chu State is different!" Attacking the state of Chu has five benefits for the state of Wu against us! ”

Fucha was obviously moved by Bo Yao's words, and when he heard this, he immediately asked curiously: "Oh, I don't know what Dazai's mouth is about the five benefits, what are the five benefits?" ”

"Yili, that is, Chu is strong and middle-class, which is suitable for my Wu State to use troops against it, and when the king hears this, I am afraid that he will not believe it a little. But the king, please listen to the ministers carefully, what is the strength of the Chu State? That's about 200,000 people! But how big is the territory of the Chu State? The land of thousands of miles. Now that 50,000 troops are dispatched to attack the Bao State, and in addition to the troops stationed in various places, how many soldiers can the Chu State still be able to mobilize? Therefore, the state of Chu is now strong on the surface, but in fact it is very weak," Bo Yao said seriously.

When the husband heard this, he immediately nodded in understanding.

Bo Yao stretched out two fingers of his right hand, and then said: "Second, it is Wu Chuni's feud, sending troops to fight, and being famous!" is not as good as sending troops to the Han Kingdom, and has gained a reputation for being untrustworthy and unrighteous. ”

When the husband heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

Bo Yao raised the three fingers of his right hand, and then said: "Third, surprise and attack it unprepared!" Now Wu has a bumper harvest and is preparing for war. Everyone said that I, the State of Wu, would send troops to the State of Chu. Therefore, we can reorganize our arms and fight very calmly. When we wave the Chu State, the Chu State is unprepared, what kind of situation will it be? How can I, the Kingdom of Wu, not achieve a big victory? ”

When the husband heard this, he felt more in his heart.

Bo Yao raised four fingers, and then said: "Fourth, the Chu State on which the Han State depended has been broken by my Wu State, does the king think that Yang Zilu will not panic?" The state of Chu can be defeated, not to mention the small Han state, as long as we are a little urgent, Yang Zilu will definitely cede a large piece of land. Isn't this the best of Sun Tzu's art of war without a fight? It doesn't cost a single soldier, just a three-inch tongue to force Yang Zilu to submit! ”

When the husband heard this, he sighed: "Dazai is really talented, fortunately the widow has Dazai you!" Otherwise, the widow will almost miss the opportunity this time! ”

Bo Yao was embarrassed in his heart, but his face showed a look of neither arrogance nor humility, and he smiled slightly: "The king is polite, everything is as it should be." ”

Fucha praised Bo Yao a few more words, and immediately asked anxiously, "Dazai, isn't there five benefits?" What about the fifth? ”

When Bo Yao heard this, he said with a smile: "The fifth profit is to achieve hegemony!" ”

Hearing this, the husband's breathing immediately became short, and his eyes were like perverts seeing naked. The woman looked at Bo Yao directly.

That look made Bo Ya's heart a little hairy, but fortunately, Bo Yao deserved to be a world-class spy, although his heart was hairy, but his face was unchanged, and he said: "The overlord of the world is only recognized as the Jin State and the Chu State, and the Qi State is only a quasi-overlord." And the reason why the Jin State was able to seize the overlord of the Wu State was only because Yang Zilu was the person who attacked my Wu State behind his back! But if we defeat the state of Chu, then the princes of the world will think that the state of Wu is still the overlord and has the strength of the hegemon. As a result, many princes will fall to the state of Wu. Just wait for the king to clean up the Han barbarians, the hegemony of Wu will be as stable as Mount Tai! ”

When the husband heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Dazai's words, when he speaks the voice of the widow!" ”

It seems that the husband is not an ordinary shameless, and he did not hesitate to take most of the credit for Bo Ya.
