"What the hell is that husband for, so he has done this!" Xi Shi asked with concern.

Yang Zilu sighed and told him about the ape once, and Yang Zilu couldn't help but think of Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. It seems that these domineering monarchs are similar to themselves, and they are not very good at dealing with their sons. Qin Shi Huang did not deal with the matter of his son Fusu taking over the throne in time, which led to the Qin Dynasty being broken in the hands of Qin II.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his son was still a witch disaster, so he almost didn't raise troops to rebel, and in his later years, in order to prevent his son from being controlled by his mother, he even clicked his wife. Tang Taizong's eldest son also intended to rebel, and in the end, in order to save Li Zhi from boarding the plane smoothly, he divided the other sons into other places, and it was difficult to even meet.

I have to say that the imperial family is ruthless, there is indeed some truth in this, thinking of this, Yang Zilu's face became more and more gloomy.

"Husband, it stands to reason that Yiguang shouldn't interfere much in this matter. In fact, Yiguang thought that the husband was not decisive enough in this matter, and the doctors under his command saw that the husband did not make Gongzi Toru the prince, and he must have thought that the husband did not like Gongzi Toru. In this way, these people naturally have the opportunity to make waves, and Sister Xiaohu has to protect herself. Xi Shi saw that Yang Zilu's face was not good, so he offered a plan.

Yang Zilu was not annoyed and angry because Xi Shi put this responsibility on him, but after thinking about it for a while, he exclaimed: "Yiguang, what you said is not wrong, but I complicated things." But Yiguang, you seem to have a lot of money lately! ”

"Hey! Husband, it's still daytime! Xi Shi shyly blocked Yang Zilu's outstretched salty pig hand and scolded shyly.

"Ahh Is it? How do I feel that it is dark! Yang Zilu pretended to be stupid and said, giving full play to the thickness of a man's face in love, which is comparable to the corner of the city wall.

Xi Shi couldn't help but be angry and funny when he heard this, and before he could speak, he heard a burst of crying and scolding outside.

Yang Zilu couldn't help frowning, the desire in her heart. Most of the fire was gone, and he comforted Xi Shi: "Yiguang, you wait here, I'll go out and have a look!" ”

"Hmm!" Xi Shi responded gently and gave Yang Zilu a trusting look, which made Yang Zilu's heart full of happiness.

Yang Zilu walked out of the room, but saw that there was some chaos outside the Shenyu Palace, strode out, and asked, "What happened?" ”

Seeing Yang Zilu come out, everyone bowed down in unison and got out of the way, at this time, there was no need for others to answer, Yang Zilu also understood what was going on. Ape Gong looked at Yang Zilu with an embarrassed face, and there was a cowering boy standing next to him, the boy had tears in his eyes, but he bit his lower lip tightly, and his nose twitched, but even so, he still tried to pretend to be strong.

Yang Zilu frowned, looked at the little boy, and shouted, "Come here!" ”

Xiao Tong is none other than Yang Zilu's only current heir, Yang Che, also known as Gongzi Che. However, he seemed to be very afraid of Yang Zilu, and when he heard Yang Zilu's words, he shook his head, grabbed the ape's pants, and hid behind the ape.

Yang Zilu snorted dissatisfiedly, looked sideways at the ape and asked, "Grandpa, what do you mean by this?" You're here to force the palace with Che'er, right? ”

When the ape heard this, he became angry, but when he thought of the little fox, he couldn't help suppressing the anger in his heart. said with a sad face: "Zilu was the old man who didn't speak right, so don't worry about me, okay?" Little fox, little fox, she heard that you didn't come, and she didn't eat any food! All the mistakes are the old man's fault, don't do this to the little fox! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, and was silent for a while, Yang Zilu sighed and said: "That's it, there is always a time to understand this matter, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go to Jicheng immediately!" ”

Yang Zilu said that, he temporarily summoned all the officials above the doctor to come to the council hall, and what made the doctors strange was that there was not only Yang Zilu in the council hall, but also Xi Shi, Xiaohu, Zheng Dan, and Lian Ji, the four ladies and concubines.

And Yang Che, who was only three years old, had forgotten the unhappiness just now, was picked up by Yang Zilu, and sat on Yang Zilu's lap. Although it was done on Yang Zilu's thigh, Yang Che was not at all restless, while licking the rock sugar gourd, he also looked at all the doctors in the council hall with a curious face, and after a while, he went to pull Yang Zilu's sleeve, giggling.

Yang Zilu saw that everyone was here, so he comforted Yang Che and asked him not to move. Yang Zilu coughed and said, "Cough! Cough! Ladies and gentlemen, you also know that now that the Wu State is going north to fight for hegemony, it is also the best time for our Han State to take the opportunity to destroy the Wu State. But do you think now is really the best time to do it? ”

The doctors in the audience looked at each other, and some didn't quite understand what Yang Zilu meant. However, Zigong, a few doctors with excellent emotional intelligence, found a little bit of Yang Zilu's purpose from Yang Zilu's letting several ladies listen, but they didn't say it, but pretended to be stupid, the family affairs of the emperor are not easy to mix!

"About the prince, I know that you have a lot of speculation!" Yang Zilu said with a solemn face, speaking of this, Yang Zilu's cold gaze swept over all the doctors, and the doctors who had raised their heads and stood tall immediately nodded.

"The widow is here to tell you that in these ten years, the widow will not want to make a prince. The crown prince of the Han Kingdom does not have to be the eldest son, but he must be a wise lord. Although what Yang Zilu said was a little wrong, the doctors all understood what Yang Zilu meant.

The doctors responded in unison: "No! ”

However, that night, Yang Zilu still did not stay at Xiaohu's place, which was a small punishment for Xiaohu, but the original arrangement for staying overnight also returned to normal.

The ape obviously understood what Yang Zilu meant, although he didn't go to recruit Yue Nu for Yang Zilu, but he didn't interfere in Yang Zilu's affairs again. Just stay in a thatched hut outside the city to practice swordsmanship, and when you have time, you will enter the palace to chat with Xiaohu and tease the little ghost Gongzi Toru.

………… At this time, I talked about the husband, and said that although the husband sent troops, he did not directly wave his army to the north. Rather, it was the construction of a canal, which was already partial, but not complete. And the husband just took advantage of the mobile army and the people to widen it. This is the famous ditch.

This ditch had already been built when Fucha's father was in Lu, and it was precisely because of this that Lulu was able to defeat Chu with more confidence by occupying the Huai River Valley, communicating with the Central Plains, and getting the support of Tang and Cai.

And the husband widened the ditch, after all, his father used only 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there were two vassal states to support food. And now his husband is basically self-sufficient, and there are more than twice as many soldiers and horses as when he was his father. Therefore, in order to widen this ditch, it took nearly 500,000 people to dig and deepen it to the ditch in a month.

Of course, the price paid by Fucha for this is also very large, so big that the treasury of Wu State is now poor and white. Even Wu Zixu, who was already dead, also gave a few words of advice, but it obviously had no effect.

However, it is not unreasonable for the husband to spend such a large price. This ditch began in the Yangtze River section of Guangling (now Yangzhou City) and continued to Huaiyin on the Huai River. After the Huai River is passed, the effect is great, and it goes up in Huaiyin, which is the river channel where Surabaya enters the Huai River. And where is the source of this Surabaya? In the territory of the Lu State, but also through the capital of the Lu State Qufu. This Surabaya has a river leading to Yishui. This Yishui leads to the country of Ju, and the source is in the territory of the country of Qi.

And through this Surabaya, you can also Heshui traffic Jishui, Jishui was one of the important tributaries of the Yellow River at that time, and now the Yellow River is also a river that takes Jishui. Through this Jishui, you can go to Zhou Tianzi and Jin to the west, and you can go to Qi to the east, and the downstream section of Jishui is very close to Linji of Qi.

Grain and water transportation is much cheaper than taking the land route, and a person can generally transport a stone of grain, and it is about 50 miles a day. But if a small boat, a boatman, can carry at least ten stone of grain, and it is not a problem to travel a hundred miles a day.

It can be said that people of insight can see that the husband has put so much effort into building a ditch, and what he wants is nothing more than hegemony.

After repairing the ditch, Fu Cha was afraid that Lu would not be able to hold on under the might of Qi State's troops, given that the time had dragged on for a long time. As soon as the ditch was built, Fucha immediately sent the general Xu Menchao to lead the 20,000 soldiers of the Wu army to set off first.

At this time, the Qi army had already crossed the Jiagu (an important border pass of the Qi State, which is equivalent to the Hangu Pass of the Qin State during the Warring States Period. Invaded the country of Lu, but at this time, whether it was Sanhuan, who was not in line with the face and heart, or the office that had declined, they all worked together. The soldiers were resisted by Sima Meng Wubo. Ji Kangzi was in Qufu, pacifying the monarch and the people while also mobilizing grain, grass and ordnance for the front line. Wenzi, the uncle of one of the three Huan, went to the southeast of the Lu State to prevent the vassal states of Cao, Song, and Wei from taking the opportunity to invade the weakened Lu State.

In addition, Meng Wubo's fiefdom is close to the Qi State, so it can be said that for every inch of land lost by the Lu State now, at least seven points of land belong to the Meng family. This is related to Meng Wubo's vital interests, how dare Meng Wubo not use force?

The result was that although the Qi army was very powerful and advanced all the way, the Lu army was also defeated all the way. But the Lu army is a serious obstacle to the speed of the Qi army's advancement, into the Lu country for three days, in order to pursue the Lu army that disturbed them, to build damaged bridges and roads, the Qi army wasted a lot of time, so far, the three days of time is just to advance forty miles in the direction of Qufu, the capital of the Lu country, in the eyes of the national book, this is simply an unprecedented shame.

But the state of Qi did not become ashamed and brave because of the shame of the national letter. Because of this, the news that Wu's army had entered Lu had already spread, which strengthened Meng Wubo's determination to resist every step.

This made many doctors in Qi State feel worried, Wu Guo's combat effectiveness is not ordinary! Gongsun Hui, the doctor who served as the pioneer in Qi [***], also felt that it was not possible to go on like this, and you don't have to look at this Gongsun Hui, although he was brave and brave, and he also held the position of a pioneer, he definitely had no intelligence, but he really came up with a plan for him.

Gongsun Hui, who came up with a plan, immediately went to find the commander of the Qi army. Guoshu heard Gongsun Hui coming to him, and couldn't help but be a little angry, these said, the Qi army advanced slowly, and the widow Meng Wubo put huge trees and boulders to block the road and destroy the bridge, but Gongsun Hui also took part of the responsibility. Guoshu said dissatisfiedly: "Ben Shuai is busy, let him solve those rats (Lu Jun) when will he say!" ”

When the soldier heard this, he retreated and waved the words of the national letter to Gongsun word for word.

Gongsun Hui couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but when he thought of the strategy he had just thought of, he couldn't help but feel confident in his heart, raised his head and said, "You go and tell the marshal that I have already thought of a way to deal with the Lu army!" ”

The soldier couldn't help but glance at Gongsun suspiciously, but it was not his turn to question this matter, so although the soldier was suspicious, he still honestly went back to report to the national letter.

When the national secretary heard this, he was also skeptical, and asked the soldier, "Are you sure he said so?" ”

When the soldier heard this, he said categorically: "Marshal, how dare the villain talk nonsense about this matter!" The villain heard this clearly, and that's what Dr. Gongsun said! ”

Guoshu thought for a while and said, "Then you let him in!" However, this Gongsun dared to fool Ben Shuai, and Ben Shuai would definitely discipline him and know what Ben Shuai's military stick was like! ”

"No!" The soldier answered, immediately withdrew from the battle, and Chuan Gongsun waved in.

It didn't take long for Gongsun to put on a military uniform, and walked into the Chinese army's tent with his head held high.

Seeing Gongsun Hui's appearance, Guoshu immediately believed a little more in his heart, but before he heard the plan, Guoshu would have doubts about Gongsun Hui. In addition, Gongsun has not been able to do so in the past three days, so the tone of the national letter is not very kind. "Say it! What the hell did you come up with? If it doesn't work! Hum! ”

As soon as Guoshu's voice fell, he glanced at the military stick placed on the side of the big tent door, the head of the stick was dark red, and he didn't know how much blood it was stained with, and how many bones were discounted before it became this color.

Gongsun Hui also knew what Guoshu's eyes meant, but he was not afraid at all. said with a smile: "The last general Gongsun has seen the marshal!" ”

"Okay, don't be polite, just say anything straight!" Guoshu said dissatisfiedly.

"The last general heard that the Wu army has entered the Lu country, and counting the distance from which the news has come, I am afraid that the Wu army is not far from here!" Gongsun waved his mouth and said.

Guoshu raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically: "What do you mean by Gongsun waving?" If you are free, you will open the way for Ben Shuai, walk 20 miles in three days, and only walk a little more than 6 miles a day, you are not ashamed, Ben Shuai is still ashamed! ”

Gongsun waved his words, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Don't worry, that marshal, didn't the last general come up with a plan!" ”

"If you want to come out, say it quickly, don't spit it out, do you think this is selling things, and you still need to hang other people's appetite?" As soon as the words of the national letter came out, Gongsun Hui knew that the beating of the national book just now was just dissatisfied with his betrayal.
