Chapter 210: Pitting Gou Jian
After Yang Zilu retreated from the dynasty, he immediately sent Ayapin to envoy Wu Guo, although Aya was not as familiar with the etiquette of the Central Plains as Remnant Zhu, but at least he knew some conventions, and his eloquence was not bad. What's more important is that in addition to Ayapin, Yang Zilu has few messengers under him, which makes Yang Zilu want to seduce Confucius more and more, it is said that Confucius has 3,000 disciples, and one percent more is enough for the current Ministry of Rites of the Han Kingdom.
Ayapin's envoy did not go well, according to Ayapin's words, after Yang Zilu investigated Gongzi Xiang as a usurper, but found that this fact was discovered by Yang Zilu, asked for help from Chu State, and got Chu State's consent. Now the state of Chu has sent an army of 4,000 people, ready to open up a direct road to the country of Gumi, to help the country of Gumi. At the same time, he also wanted to infiltrate his forces into Yangzhou in order to plot against the state of Wu.
What Yang Zilu said is better than blowing, although the husband is arrogant, he is not stupid. Otherwise, it would be impossible to defeat the Qi State and the Jin State and become the overlord, and he has also heard about the affairs of the Gu Contempt State. However, Fucha has no interest in such trivial matters at all, but if this matter involves the Chu State, it will be different.
Fucha asked Ayato to retire first, which made Ayahi uneasy, and he didn't know what Fucha thought. Then the husband summoned eight doctors, including Bo Ya, Wu Zixu and Wang Sunluo, to discuss.
Throughout the history of Wu, almost all the monarchs of Wu have waged war against Chu or resisted the attack of Chu. It can even be said that the monarch of Wu who has not fought with the Chu army is not a competent monarch of Wu.
The hatred between Chu and Wu can be talked about endlessly. Not to mention that the high-level leaders of the Wu State were all enemies of the Chu State. Bo Ya is the grandson of Bozhou Li, the doctor of Chu State, and Bozhou Lili was killed by Ling Yin Zichang in the era of King Chu Ping. To put it bluntly, Bo Yao was born as a political refuge, and was promoted by Wu Zixu, who also had a big enmity with the Chu State, and later made a lot of contributions during the period when Wu State dealt with Chu State, of course, there was not as much as Wu Zixu.
And Xiangguo Wu Zixu is the one who took out the grave of the grandfather of the current monarch of Chu and took it out to whip the corpse. If Wu is willing to exchange Wu Zixu's head for a city in Chu, King Chu Hui is definitely willing to use seventeen or eighteen cities to exchange Wu Zixu's head to comfort his grandfather and father's spirits in the sky. Of course, this thing is impossible, but it also shows that the hatred between Wu and Chu has reached the point where it is impossible to reconcile.
After the husband said the intention of Ayapin, the eight doctors immediately frowned, Wu Zixu rarely agreed with Bo Yao, and both of them suggested that the husband should believe that this matter would rather be believed or not. The most important thing is that Wu Zixu and Bo Yao believe that the Han State will never dare to deceive the Wu State in this matter, and the anger of the Wu State is not something that a small Han State can resist.
However, just in case, Fucha decided to mobilize a small part of the army and be ready to set off at any time, and at the same time sent an envoy to the country of Gumi. As soon as the news is confirmed to be true, Wu Ming, the son of Wu Zixu, will lead the troops and horses to send troops to the country.
At this time, Kan Pingtian, who heard that Yang Zilu was going to let Wu Guo mingle, not take care of the construction of Ouyi, so he handed over the project to Ouli, the doctor of Ouyi County, who was demoted, and rushed to Dong'an City by carriage.
When Kan Pingtian returned to Dong'an City, Yang Zilu was playing in the water with Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, and the cool spring water made the midsummer so beautiful. Of course, Yang Zilu will never admit it, it is because Yiguang and Adan wear the bikini he designed and like to play in the water.
As for Xiaohu and Lianji, they can't swim, so they can only hide in their rooms helplessly, and they can't see it. Yang Zilu is also quite helpless about this, it is a good thing that there are more women, but how to distribute them fairly is another problem.
Suddenly, a female officer shouted outside: "What a person! I can't get in! ”
Yang Zilu couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, who broke in at this time? However, Yang Zilu estimates that there are probably a lot of things.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Xi Shi gently paddled the surface of the water, swimming to Yang Zilu like a mermaid.
"Wait, I'll be back soon!" Yang Zilu kissed Xi Shi on the face and said with a smile. Ashamed, Xi Shi immediately swam to the side with a red face. Yang Zilu laughed and slowly swam to the edge of the steps of the pool, and slowly walked up to the pool, and the maid on the side immediately walked up and put a towel on Yang Zilu.
Yang Zilu casually wrapped the towel around her waist and walked out barefoot. It didn't take long to see Kan Hirata arguing with a female samurai on the steps. Yang Zilu couldn't help but be stunned, waved his hand, and said, "Stand down, Lao Kan, aren't you in Ouyi?" How did you rush back? And next time, I'll be swimming in it! What if you see Yiguang and Adam! ”
"Lord, now is not the time to talk about this, did the Lord send Aya to send an envoy to Wu Guo, and wanted Wu Guo to get involved?" Kan Pingtian, who has always been very calm, seemed a little anxious at the moment.
"Well, calculate the footsteps, it is estimated that you have now arrived in Gusu City in Wu Kingdom!" Yang Zilu clasped his hands in front of his chest, frowned slightly, and said after thinking for a moment.
Kan Pingtian originally wanted to say something, but immediately glanced around vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "The Lord is not the place to talk about things. ”
Yang Zilu nodded when she heard this, asked the maid to bring a robe and put it on her body, Yang Zilu took Kan Pingtian to a nearby pavilion, and asked the female warrior to be on guard around.
Yang Zilu asked Kan Pingtian: "Old Kan, what are you looking for me?" ”
"Lord, you haven't thought enough about it this time!" Kan Pingtian said in a deep voice.
Yang Zilu was silent for a moment and said, "I know it's too dangerous!" But horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth. People always have to take some risks. ”
This time it was Kan Pingtian's turn to speak silently, and after half a sound, Kan Pingtian said: "Lord, since you have chosen so, it is not easy for the minister to say anything, but this time the Lord did not think enough. Uncle Tai should be killed at the end of winter, so that the Han Kingdom can get more benefits! ”
"Uncle late winter?" A look of astonishment flashed on Yang Zilu's face, and he didn't know what this matter had to do with Uncle Tai's late winter.
"Hmm!" Kan Pingtian nodded vigorously with a serious face, and said: "Now the only people who can become the monarch of the country of contempt are Gongzi Xiang and Uncle Tai at the end of winter, and the others are not worried. If Uncle Tai dies at the end of winter, and the only thing left is Gongzi who is dying, but he asks Chu Guo for help, it is impossible for Yifucha to let him go with his temper over the years! In this way, as long as the lord shows enough respect for the Wu State, the Gu State will be the Han State! ”
Yang Zilu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked, "There's room for, but what should be done?" ”
Kan Pingtian thought for a while, and said: "The lord should send troops to the state of Wu, and the lord announced at this time that after the investigation, the prince took advantage of his father's serious illness to tamper with the edict, and the Han state will help the uncle to uphold justice at the end of winter. At this time, the lord explained that Xia Hu roared and killed Uncle Tai at the end of the winter, I am afraid that everyone will think that the end of the uncle died at the hands of the weak-hearted son. It is impossible for anyone to think that it was the hand of the Lord! In this way, the people of the country will definitely hate Gongzi, which can also weaken the hostility of the people of the country to the lord and the country. ”
Kan Pingtian paused, and then said: "In addition, after the war, it is estimated that the minister will definitely win the victory of the Wu State, and it is impossible for the Chu State to put too much attention on the Gu State. At this time, it can be said to the husband of the monarch of Wu that among the brothers of the prince of the state of contempt, Gongzi Su is the envoy of the state of Chu, and his attitude is pro-Chu, and he cannot be established as the king, so let the husband send another person to manage the territory of the state of contempt. This is the opportunity for the Lord to enter the Lord's contempt country, before this, the Lord secretly sent someone to Wu Zixu to say: The Han State is still very weak, not the opponent of the Yue Kingdom, plus the Yue King Goujian has been recuperating now, the time is abnormal Han State, not to mention the restriction of the Yue Kingdom, even if it is a question of whether or not it can keep the society. Hinting again, Wu Zixu handed over the land of the Gu State to the Han State for management, presumably Wu Zixu would definitely agree! Dazai Boyao will definitely go back to his door, but Dazai Boyao has always recognized money and not people, as long as we send enough gold silk, Dazai Boyao will definitely stay in the middle! With Wu Zixu's support, coupled with the neutrality of Bo Yao, the only one who can compete with Wu Zixu, Gu Wei Guo will definitely become the bag of my Han Kingdom! ”
When Yang Zilu heard this, she patted her thigh excitedly and said, "Wonderful! ”
Kan Pingtian continued: "This is not over, this war Wu will definitely let my Han and Yue countries fund the grain, before this Lord can please the envoy from Wu Guo, saying that the Han State has a bad harvest this year, hoping to get a batch of grain funded by Wu State." And exaggerating the country of Vietnam, saying that the country of Vietnam has a bumper harvest this year, will transfer the pressure of the grain supply of the war again to the country of Vietnam! And this time the leader of the army is Wu Ming, the eldest son of Wu Zixu, who must know that his father and Yue Guo are not in agreement! He definitely doesn't have much affection for Yue Guo! As long as the Lord sends more beauties and gold silk to please him, he will definitely only ask Yue Guo for more grain. If Gou Jian doesn't give it, then he will offend Wu Guo, and I am afraid that there will be a disaster of destroying the country. So even if the people of Yue tighten their belts, Gou Jian has to fund the grain for the army of Wu! ”
When Yang Zilu heard this, he waved his fist excitedly and said with a smile: "In this way, the people of Yue will definitely be angry, and Gou Jian is also dumb and can't say that he has suffered from Coptis chinensis!" I can also send a fine work to the Yue Kingdom to sow discord, saying that Gou Jian is the most loyal lackey of Fucha, for the sake of Wu State, he would rather let his people live a hungry meal than an hour of hunger! In this way, when I attacked the Yue country, I am afraid that not many people in the Yue country were willing to fight for Gou Jian! ”
"The Lord is wise!" Kan Pingtian said with a relieved smile on his face.
I have to say that Wen Chong and Fan Li are really geniuses, Yang Zilu thought of the strategy, they also thought that Yang Zilu might do this after getting the news from Wu Guoboyao.
Therefore, they decided to strike first and offer advice to Gou Jian, so that Gou Jian could entertain more when the envoys of Wu passed by Yue Kingdom. And let the envoy reveal to King Wu that the grain harvest in Yue Kingdom this year, and the news of the bumper grain harvest in Han State, in an attempt to transfer all the grain and straw to Han State. For this reason, Gou Jian has made all the preparations, and there is no shortage of wine, food, and beauties.
However, it is a pity that the hundred secrets are sparse, this time the envoy came to investigate whether the army of the Chu State will really support the Gu Wei State, and he did not dare to stay too long, for fear that the time would be delayed and the husband would blame him, so the envoy just spent the night in Huiji City and left.
What made Gou Jian even more depressed was that although he treated it earnestly this night, it was a pity that the messenger was in a hurry overnight and was already tired, so he just drank some wine and said goodbye to rest. Even the beauties sent by Gou Jian turned a blind eye and fell asleep directly on the bed. Everything that Gou Jian painstakingly prepared was wasted, and Fan Li could only comfort Gou Jian, don't be discouraged, didn't the envoy go back to Wu to pass through my country? Are you afraid that there will be no time to win over the messenger at that time?
However, in the end, Gou Jian's doing so still had a little effect, at least the messenger received a hundred silk horses from Gou Jian. Before leaving, although he didn't agree to Gou Jian's invitation, his tone was inclined to agree.
(Although silk was used as a commodity, because of the relatively low productivity in ancient times, cloth and money were both hard currency at that time.) However, when the envoy came to Han, the envoy's position towards transgression immediately changed. Yang Zilu also entertained the envoy with good wine and meat, and because he had arrived in the Han Kingdom, the envoy breathed a sigh of relief and enjoyed it at Yang Zilu's place.
Yang Zilu then sent someone to take the envoy from the country of Gu to set off into the deep mountains, in order to make the envoy feel comfortable, the envoy entered the mountain in a sedan chair, so careful care, the envoy was naturally very grateful to Yang Zilu.
Fortunately, at this time, the road built by the army of Chu was not far away from the Gu Kingdom, and the envoy did not stay in the dense forest for long, otherwise maybe the envoy's gratitude to Yang Zilu would soon be angry because of the mosquitoes in the dense forest, which led to Yang Zilu who sent his envoy. Yang Zilu and other envoys came back, and they were treated warmly. However, Yang Zilu knows that compared to money, even if the Han Kingdom is better than Gou Jian, I am afraid that it will fall into the inferior.
Yang Zilu gave a night pearl to the messenger, and the messenger was also surprised at that time, and a greedy look shot in his eyes, but he still refused reservedly. In the end, under Yang Zilu's enthusiasm, he accepted it as a pretending embarrassment, and naturally knew what to do after accepting it.
But in fact, this night pearl is not worth much at all, and it is native to the Han Kingdom. Yang Zilu sent people to look for iron ore before, but the iron ore was not found, but he found a fluorite mine, Yang Zilu couldn't imagine that the legendary night pearl was actually made of fluorite polished into a circle! However, it may be that the ancient prospecting ability was relatively poor, and there was no large-scale discovery of fluorite, as the so-called scarcity is expensive, which also led to the night pearl becoming a luxury for the aristocracy, and it is not necessarily possible to buy it if you have money.
Although Gou Jian was also enthusiastic on the way back, when he returned to Gusu City, the messenger who received Yang Zilu's Night Pearl naturally said in front of his husband that the Han Kingdom had a bad harvest this year, and begged Wu to lend a batch of grain. And the news that Yue Guo is a bumper harvest this year also made the envoy inadvertently say it.
Wu Zixu, who was extremely hostile to the Yue Kingdom, naturally struck while the iron was hot, and said to his husband: "My lord, the old minister thinks that it is too troublesome for grain and grass to be transferred from Wu to Gu Guo. Why not let the country send people to finance the grain? And the Marquis of Yue is even more loyal to the king, the king does not let the Marquis of Yue to fund the grain for the army of Wu, and the Marquis of Yue, who is loyal to the king, will definitely be overjoyed! ”
Hearing this, the husband nodded and said, "Hmm! What Xiang Guo said is very true, and it is rare that Xiang Guo also realizes that Yue Hou is loyal to the widow! ”
Wu Zixu moved his mouth when he heard this, and wanted to say again about the harm of not destroying the Yue Kingdom, but he thought that if he did something that might hurt Yang Zilu, the Han State would not be able to control the Wu State more, so Wu Zixu still endured it. Some people may wonder how straight Wu Zixu is and how he knows how to endure it? But in fact, Wu Zixu is a person with a very 'forbearance' surname, otherwise it would be impossible to bear the burden of humiliation to avenge his father and brother.
Bo Yao, who had a good relationship with Gou Jian, couldn't help but speak at this time: "King, is this matter the messenger listening to the man's lie?" The minister heard that this year's harvest in Yue is barely strong, but he still has to repay me for the grain I borrowed from Wu. And the Han Kingdom is still abundant! ”
When the husband heard this, he showed a look of disbelief, and the messenger was anxious, if the husband listened to Bo Ya's words, wouldn't he let the husband punish him? But to be a messenger, how can you also be a little anxious.
As soon as his eyes rolled, the envoy came up with a solution, and immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty thinks that Dazai Boyao may have heard it wrong!" The land of the Han Kingdom is in the deep mountains, and what the ministers see and hear in the Han Kingdom, the Han Kingdom is all living on fishing and hunting. Although the Han Yang Zilu introduced the Zhou rites and the Central Plains culture to educate the Chinese people to farm, the Han people only began to try to cultivate the land with a maximum of 20 acres per person and a minimum of 7 or 8 acres. And they are all cultivated in the mountains, so how much grain can they get? On the contrary, it is the country of Yue, with the benefit of irrigation in Zhejiang, how can it be a bad harvest? ”
When the husband heard this, he nodded his head and felt that the messenger's words were very reasonable. He hadn't seen the Han Kingdom, but he also knew what kind of environment the Shanyue people lived in. And Yue Guofu Cha has not only seen it, but almost occupied it, and he knows that the land in Yue Country is fertile.
Fucha naturally believed what the messenger said, and Fucha said to Bo Ya: "I'm afraid Dazai's words are biased, the land of Yue has been seen, although it is not as good as Wu, but compared to Han, a small barbarian country established in the mountains, I am afraid it is far surpassed!" How can there not be enough food? On the contrary, it is the Han Kingdom, a small barbarian country, that is still very respectful to the widows, so this time let them send troops! They don't need to provide them with grain! ”
"The king is wise!" The messenger said busily.
Bo Yao actually had a good relationship with Fan Li before he said that, and Yang Zilu also sent a lot of treasures to Bo Yao beforehand. Bo Yao didn't say much, and followed the messenger to compliment Fucha: "The king is wise! ”
Bo Yao said in his heart: Fan Li! Fan Li! It's not that I don't help you, you see that I also said a word, and it can be regarded as worthy of the money you gave me from Yueguo!
For a while, the hall sounded with the voice of the king's wise mountain. When the doctors were almost complimented, Wang Sun Yu took a step forward and said, "My lord, the minister has something to say. ”
"Oh! I don't know what Dr. Wang Sun played? Fucha said in surprise.
Although Wang Sunyu is quite a good husband, he is usually a relatively taciturn doctor in the court.
Wang Sunluo circled his hands, raised his head high, and after saluting his husband, he calmly said: "I heard that a battle broke out between the Yue Kingdom and the Han Kingdom last year, although the two sides signed an alliance. But I'm afraid that both sides are a little resentful in their hearts, and both countries are vassal states of our Wu State, once the war starts again, I'm afraid that my Wu State will not help, and I will not help it! ”
When the husband heard this, he nodded and said: "What Dr. Wang Sun said is very true, I don't know what Dr. Wang Sun can do about this, so that the two countries can rebuild relations and communicate with each other?" ”
Wang Sunluo said calmly: "The minister just thought of a plan, maybe he can restore friendship between Han and Vietnam." Isn't there a bad harvest in Han this year? And the Yue Kingdom just had a bumper harvest, why didn't the king order the Yue Kingdom to borrow a batch of grain from the Han Kingdom? Otherwise, the Han State borrowed 10,000 stone of grain from the Wu State and transferred it to the territory of the Han State, I am afraid that it would be one out of ten. For the Han Kingdom, which has a poor harvest now, this is probably a big loss! It is different to let Yue Guo lend it, and the loss of Han transit is also reduced to a minimum. And the Yue Kingdom helped the Han Kingdom in danger, and the Han Kingdom will naturally be grateful! He said that he should repay the favor! ”
The husband nodded his head when he heard this, and praised: "Doctor Wang Sun's plan is really wonderful!" However, I'm afraid that 10,000 stone is a little insufficient, so Suo surnamed let Gou Jian lend Yang Zilu 15,000 stone of grain! ”
"The king is wise! This is really the style of the hegemon! Wang Sunluo immediately said the flattery he had in his heart.
When the husband heard this, he immediately stroked the two mustaches on his lips proudly. All the doctors in the court knew that Fucha wanted to be the overlord even if he dreamed of it. Immediately, all the doctors also complimented the husband.
Bo Ya felt that there was something wrong with this, and said that the harvest of Yue Guo this year was a, but it was even more to say that Yue Guo had a bumper harvest. However, he accepted the gold silk of the Han Kingdom, and it was not good to open a sentence for the Yue Kingdom just now, and now Bo Yao was embarrassed to speak. After all, Bo Ya still has a little bit of professional ethics, and knows how to collect money from people and eliminate disasters for others. You're always embarrassed to turn your face and not recognize people, right?
After the doctor Wang Sunluo stepped back, he secretly touched the night pearl in his sleeve, and Wang Sunluo said in his heart: Yang Zilu! I'm also worthy of this night pearl you gave! Convince the king!
As for Gou Jian, I'm afraid I don't think I'll vomit blood now, I can't do it if I want to pit Yang Zilu, but I was ruthlessly pit by Yang Zilu a few times. The pressure on the already insufficient grain and grass in Vietnam has greatly increased.
When the news reached Yueguo, Gou Jian did not vomit blood, but he did not let go of everything that could be smashed in the palace. And Wen Chong, Fan Li, and Ku Cheng, who also received the news, also hurried to the palace, thinking about how to deal with this crisis, but several doctors were bitter in their hearts, and there was not much to do about it.
(To be continued)
