Yang Zilu scolded with a smile: "You, you! I dare to think that even if it is a war with Wu State, I am afraid that it will not be you. There are nearly 1,000 warships in the Wu Kingdom, and there are seventy or eighty warships in the Big Wing class, and now they are not weak and you can deal with them! Next time I think about things, think practically! ”

After reading Zigong's sign language translation, Xia You could only say with a sense of loss: "Yes, what the Lord said is right!" It's just that according to the current development, I don't know if the minister's lifetime will be able to see the day when the Han Guozhou Division and the Wu Guozhou Division will compete! ”

"It's not as serious as you think, what a lifetime! The day will soon come when the widow looks! Yang Zilu turned his head and looked at the north, Yang Zilu's eyes were so deep at the moment, but they were so confident.

Let Xia Yu and Zigong and other people who followed Yang Zilu couldn't help but be impressed by Yang Zilu's temperament at the moment.

The war did not make Yang Zilu and the doctors of the Han Kingdom wait for long. In June, the State of Qi again dispatched troops and sent soldiers in batches to the border between the State of Qi and the State of Lu. Although the soldiers of the Qi State have not yet been assembled, they often send small groups of soldiers to harass the cities and villages on the border of the Lu State. Seeing this, the whole country of Lu couldn't help but be afraid, thinking that the army of Qi would soon attack Lu State.

Ji Kangzi, the ruler of the Lu State, immediately summoned the heads of the other two clans in the Three Huans, Meng Wubo of the Meng clan and Wenzi of the Shusun clan, to come to Qufu to discuss how to deal with the affairs of the Qi State.

Ji Kangzi said worriedly: "Everyone knows the current situation, so I won't talk about it here." What do you say you should do? ”

"You don't have to ask! My country of Lu is only a country of a thousand times, and the country of Qi is a country of ten thousand times, ten times that of Lu. Only last time, asking Wu for help, can Lu have a chance to be saved! Meng Wubo said as he should have been.

Ji Kangzi sighed and said, "Why don't I know this? But the current overlord is still the Jin State in the end. And we didn't go to Jin Guo for help, but went to Wu Guo again and again. If Wu wins this battle, he will go to the Jin Kingdom. The Jin State hated our Lu State for helping the Wu State defeat the Qi State and came to compete with them for hegemony in the Jin State. If the State of Wu is defeated, the loss of the State of Qi is probably not small, and they will hold a grudge against our State of Lu and intensify their attack on our State of Lu. At this time, Wu Guo could no longer count on it, and the Jin State hated our Lu State for not asking for help from them, and if he wanted to find Jin Guo to rescue him, Jin Guo would definitely not agree! There will be no peace in my country! ”

Uncle Fumiko, who had not spoken, sighed and said, "You say this very reasonably, but I have also thought about it. Now the Jin Kingdom is no longer the original Jin Kingdom! Liuqing went to Liangqing, and the internal fighting was more intense than the external fighting. How could they possibly have the energy to come to support our country? ”

Ji Kangzi hesitated for a moment and said, "We can ask for help from the Jin State first, if it doesn't work, how about coming to the Wu State?" ”

Uncle Wenzi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid this is not very good, right?" I've heard that Fucha has always been proud and aspires to be the overlord. If we ask for help from the Jin State, and then ask for help from the Wu State, we will definitely offend the Wu State at that time. And our Lu State is close to the two big countries of Qi and Wu, if we offend them all, and the Jin State does not come to the rescue, how can the Lu State survive for a long time? ”

Meng Wubo also echoed: "Ji Sun Fei (Ji Kangzi), now it is best to ask for help from Wu Guo." ”

In fact, why didn't Meng Wubo know that Ji Kangzi's strategy was good? But there are not only the shortcomings that Uncle Sun Wenzi said, but also the time to go back and forth, his Meng clan's territory is located in the northeast of Lu State, close to Qi State, and once the war starts, it is his territory that will suffer first. Maybe Ji Kangzi and his uncle Wenzi could wait for Jin Guo to refuse, and then invite Wu Guo to support, but he Meng Wubo can't afford to wait! When that time comes, I'm afraid that his Meng clan's territory will be almost lost, and even if it is recovered, it will be a mess, and I don't know how much time and money it will take to restore the previous prosperity.

Although Ji Kangzi was willing to oppose it, firstly, what his uncle and grandson Wenzi said made sense, and secondly, he saw that two of the three huans said so. Ji Kangzi sighed and said, "Okay, I just hope that this battle can be the same as last time, otherwise Wu Guo will go to fight for hegemony with Jin State." I, Lu Guo, am afraid that I will become the Zheng Guo of the past! ”

The Zheng State in Ji Kangzi's mouth is talking about the period when the Jin State and the Chu State competed for hegemony during the more than 100 years from the Duke of Jin Wen to the King of Chuping. Zheng was located in the Central Plains, close to the territory of Zhou Tianzi, and could also become a springboard for Jin and Chu to attack each other, as well as an important strategic area for defending each other.

So during this period, Zheng Guo really fell into bad luck for eight lifetimes. Today the state of Jin will come to attack the state of Zheng, and tomorrow the state of Chu will come to attack the state of Zheng. And Zheng Guo is like a grass on the wall, when the one comes today, he surrenders to that one, without any hesitation. Let the Jin State and the Chu State hate and love him.

Maybe many people are strange, hate is easy to say, but how to love? In fact, this love is Zheng Guo's refreshing 'surrender', the army surrendered as soon as it came, so that people don't have to do anything, who doesn't want to fight easily. However, when he hated this, he ignored Zheng Guo's sighs, so Zheng Guo was unlucky. When that country came, it asked Zheng Guo to pay a rich tribute to the overlord.

It's just once, but Zheng Guo's position dooms him to bad luck, and it is common to change a hegemon every year. If you're not lucky, change it two or three times a year. To put it bluntly, it is to pay tribute two or three times, which is called a sad urging. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Guo, known as the small overlord country, was destroyed to the point that only 600 military vehicles remained. You must know that the military vehicles of the Lu State, which has been bullied by the Qi State for hundreds of years, also have more than 900 rides, and the country of a thousand times is called, and the Zheng State is even more tragic than the Lu State, and its situation can be imagined.

It was only this year that an alliance of soldiers was formed, and there was a wise doctor like Zichan, that Zheng Guo's situation improved. But who can guarantee that there will be an alliance between Jin and Wu in the future? Lu Guo has a child that is almost comparable to Qi Guoyan's son? But no matter what, Lu Guo still asked Wu for help.

Fucha, a war maniac, is thinking about how to gain higher prestige. And the small victory over Qi Guo has been exciting for a while before, and now Lu Guo has given him another chance. Where will the husband refuse? Immediately readily agreed.

And Bo Yao deserved to be the number one annihilator in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and from here he thought of the opportunity to calculate Wu Zixu. He secretly sent someone to inform Yang Zilu of the news that his husband was preparing to send troops, and hoped that Yang Zilu would receive the signal from him in the near future and immediately put on a posture of being ready to move in Zhejiang. As for the husband, he will settle it and will not let the husband go south.

Yang Zilu naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to completely believe Bo Yao? If Fucha really waved his army south, it would be really sad. So Yang Zilu hinted to the people sent by Bo Yao that the letters we exchanged before were still there, and the receipts for the money before were still there, in case Wu Jun moved south, I am afraid that these would be "accidentally" revealed.

After Bo Yao heard it, although he was a little dissatisfied with Yang Zilu's attitude, Yang Zilu also agreed. At this time, Bo Ya didn't move, or his action was just waiting.

Sure enough, Wu Zixu did not disappoint Bo Yao, and after Wu Zixu learned the news that the husband was preparing to send troops, he immediately persuaded the husband and said: "King, the price of grain in Wu is now as high as 20 yuan and a stone!" And it's July now, and if you send troops now, you will definitely delay the autumn harvest! In this way, I am afraid that the price of food will be even higher! The people of the country are even poorer, and where are the soldiers who have the morale to fight? And the people of the country will definitely resent the king, which is to damage the foundation of the Wu country! ”

Bo Yao was overjoyed when he heard this, ha! Ha! You old guy finally jumped out. Bo Yao immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Xiangguo's words are wrong, although delaying the autumn harvest will affect the price of grain. But if the king defeats the Qi State, it will be the autumn harvest period, and he can eat in the Qi State. And if the king achieves hegemony because of this, he will be able to get tribute from the vassal states of the world! Harvest the wealth of the world and enrich my Wu country! How can the people of the country resent the king at that time? It's too late to be grateful! ”

When the husband heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "What Dazai said is very true, although the people of the country will suffer for a while, but this is for the future of the Wu country, and the suffering they suffer today will be repaid ten times or even a hundred times. Even if they are resentful for a while, for the hegemony of Wu State, the widow will not hesitate! ”

Bo Yao immediately pretended to look at the husband with excitement and admiration, and flattered: "King, you are really great! The people of Wu will be ashamed of their resentment! ”

Fucha was also flattered by Bo Ya's vanity, Wu Zixu glanced at Bo Yao dissatisfied, and wanted to persuade: "The king ......"

But as soon as the word king came out, he was interrupted by an impatient wave of his hand: "Okay, Xiangguo doesn't need to say more." The widow summoned you today to let you talk about how to deal with the Qi Kingdom! ”

Seeing that the opportunity had come, Bo Yao immediately preemptively said: "King, the reason why we couldn't defeat the Qi State last time was because the commander of the Qi State on the other side was too cowardly. On the other hand, the soldiers of our Wu State are too small, otherwise how could they be fled into the city by him? ”

When the husband heard this, he nodded and said, "What Dazai said is very true, this time the widow decided to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the nine counties!" A total of 70,000 people went north to support the Lu State. ”

"The king is wise, there are so many elite Wu soldiers, and the king's wise command will definitely be able to Qi the country!" Bo Yao immediately flattered.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! When the husband heard this, he immediately laughed happily.

Wu Zixu couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Is there a difference between victory and defeat on the battlefield? The old minister is afraid that this time he will be defeated! ”

The husband, who was originally happy, was immediately so angry by Wu Zixu's words that his face immediately turned black.
