Chapter 163: Recruiting Talents in the Court [II]
Wu Zixu said: "A year later, there was a small place called Dongye. (The husband pursed his lips disdainfully, and only came to peep alone in a year!) Qi Huan Gong is really ...... Tut! Tut! Qi Huan Gong was very happy at the time, and he personally received the people of Dongye. With joy, he asked, 'What is the best of the sir?' The man of the East Field replied: "The villain knows ninety-nine arithmetic." ’”
When the husband heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "How can this be reasonable! Isn't this a flirtatious affair with the king! It's just a small mountain folk who know 99 arithmetic! If it was a widow, let the armor be pulled down and beheaded! ”
"The king, this is not advisable!" Wu Zixu shook his head and said, "Gong Qi Huan just sneered and said, 'Ninety-nine arithmetic is also a skill? But the people of the East Field calmly replied: "The mountains do not reject small stones, and the rivers and seas do not reject small streams." Because of this, they have become mountains, rivers, and rivers. Ninety-nine arithmetic is certainly not a profound knowledge, but if you can treat the monarch with courtesy, are you afraid that there will be no one more clever than me to serve? After hearing this, Duke Qi Huan immediately ceremoniously received the people of Dongye. Within a month, talents from all directions came one after another. King, you should restrain your murderous aura! ”
The husband touched the beard on his lips, and was noncommittal to the whole family behind Wu Zixu, until he got the inspiration from Wu Zixu's Tingliao recruitment, and he was somewhat enlightened. Fucha opened his mouth and asked, "What does Xiangguo mean to make Yang Zilu a widow in the East Field?" ”
"Exactly!" Wu Zixu nodded in response, paused and continued: "What is the king missing now?" Is there a lack of meritocracy? No! What is missing is the vassal states that support the Wu State in its struggle for hegemony! Although the state of Wu is strong, it is sharp in armor, but this alone is not enough to become an overlord, and it also needs the support of the princes. And now it is a small barbarian country, and the king treats it like this, is he afraid that the other princes will not be attached to the king? Do you still have to worry about how to win over other princes? ”
"Great goodness!" Fucha Huoran stood up and said excitedly. If it weren't for Wu Zixu's presence, I'm afraid Fucha would have already danced excitedly. Although Wu is a strong country, it does not have many allies, and Fucha even dreams of being a hegemon, and now there is an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to stand up for power, and Fucha is naturally impossible to let him go.
After half a while, Fu Cha calmly ordered, feeling that Jiang was still old and spicy, and asked Wu Zixu, an old man, it was better, and he didn't make his own decisions. Fucha asked Wu Zixu: "Who does Xiangguo think should be sent to envoy the princes?" And to those vassal states? ”
After thinking about it, Wu Zixu said: "The old minister thinks that Wang Sunlu can be a messenger who can speak well, and he can make Lu, Chen, Wei, Cai, Xu, Ju, Tan, Xue, Teng, Di and other ten countries ask him to ask for Yang Zilu!" ”
When the husband heard this, he frowned and asked: "Xiangguo, why are all the ordinary vassal states you are sending envoys, except for Lu, Chen, Wei, and Xu Shang, which are considered medium vassal states, the other vassal states are just weak and small countries!" How can we attract Zhou Tianzi's attention? ”
"That's enough!" Wu Zixu said: "Lu is a country that revises the annals of history, although the national strength is weak, the prestige is not low!" Although the rest of the countries are small countries, many of them are not low, such as Chen, Xu, and Di are all first-class principalities, and although Wei Guo is a marquis vassal state, the first six generations of countries are Fang Bo, called Fang Bo's uncle. And the national strength of these ten countries is weak, and Wu Guofang can show itself first! If it involves the princely powers such as Qi and Jin, I am afraid that the court fire of Wu will be discounted. ”
When the husband heard this, he suddenly realized, nodded and said, "What Xiangguo said is very true! ”
Fucha immediately sent a doctor, Wang Sun, to envoy ten countries, and nine out of ten countries agreed, even a big eastern country like Lu did not dare to go against the will of Wu, but there was still one who was not convinced and refused Wu's request. This is Chen Guo, although the title is high, but the national strength is weak.
Fucha was immediately furious when he found out, if it was a big country like Chu, Qi, or even Lu that refused, Fucha would not be so angry, because the other party had such capital. But is Chen state-owned? Chen is not only a weak vassal state, but also a vassal state that relies on Wu, and Chen's approach is simply to turn on the toilet light to find (death).
Fucha immediately ordered to prepare for the expedition, he wanted to personally lead the army to attack Chen, and Chu was the monarch of Chu to personally go out to support Chen.
Wu Zixu naturally didn't know that because of his own careful thinking, he almost caused a big war. After Wu Zixu walked out of King Wu's palace, he looked at the sky in the south and said with a smile: "Although the old man took advantage of you, the old man also gave you a certain reputation in the Central Plains." After Gou Jian, this guy attacked you, and I am afraid that he also indirectly offended the ten vassal states that recommended you! ”
…………
Yang Zilu didn't know at this time that Wu Zixu had helped him, and he was leading the army against Fan Li. Of course, in Yang Zilu's view, it is a match, but for Fan Li, this is not a match, but an out-and-out scoundrel.
A hundred soldiers trained by Kan Pingtian lurked in the forest, constantly harassing the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom, and the sentinels in the field would unknowingly be hit by the blow arrows, and by the time they found out, they had already been poisoned. Although Fan Li found a way to detoxify, this poison needs to be slowly figured out, not to mention that it can be lifted in fourteen or fifteen years.
After detoxification, the soldier will have to recuperate for a few days, so it will take about twenty days. It can be said that this soldier has been abolished in this war, and he has to send someone to protect them and send the soldier to the city.
The scouts who were sent out often sent out were ten men, and only five or six returned, and the next day their heads were placed in front of the camp gate. It was so ghostly that the Vietnamese soldiers did not dare to act as scouts and guard outside the camp.
Fan Li had no choice but to reward him heavily, and at the same time compress the search range of the scouts to five miles. At night, the sentries did not go out of the camp to stand guard, and additional patrols were dispatched, which was able to restrain the rampant Han soldiers. But Fan Li has also become a person with severe myopia and night blindness at this moment.
Yang Zilu didn't expect it to be so smooth, as for Fan Li, he couldn't imagine that fighting in the forest was so difficult, and it made Fan Li unsuitable. However, Fan Li was not stupid, he did not entangle with the Han soldiers along the way, but set off towards Jiukui City with a sullen head. He knew that Yang Zilu would not let his soldiers come to the city, and on the way, he would definitely encounter Yang Zilu's main force, as for now...... Grandma's, just like being bitten by ants, I bear it!
PS: The second update is here! Today is expected to be five watches! However, the cold is not very good, and the temperature in Guangdong is really cold and makes people shiver. Mu Mu now has to wear the kind of gloves that expose half of his fingers, otherwise his fingers will be cold and stiff, and he can't code words.
