Chapter 162: Ting Liao Recruiting Talents [I]
"Is the general saying that Yang Zilu bribed my officials from the Yue Kingdom?" Hearing this, Deng Shi's eyes were as big as two copper bells in surprise.
"Hmm!" Fan Li stroked his beard calmly and said: "Sun Tzu makes good use of it, and among his outflow of the art of war is the words 'know oneself and know the other, and will not be defeated in a hundred battles', which shows that Sun Tzu attaches great importance to news. How could Yang Zilu, as his disciple, not work hard in this regard! ”
"It's just a few details!" Chou Wuyu was a little disapproving, and said: "When the general comes directly to the city, even if he Yang Zilu has a hundred fine works, what is the effect?" ”
Fan Li is not powerful, although he is brave in battle, and his adaptability is also wrong, but he doesn't know how powerful it is. In fact, Fan Li is also a master of meticulous work, at least he originally trained Xi Shi and Zheng Dan as female spies, and also lured Bo Yao as half of the Yue State spy. But because of this, Fan Li felt a headache for Yang Zilu, and he didn't have a sense of happiness that he would meet his opponent.
What made Fan Li even more helpless was his plan for Yang Zilu, although he was clear, he had no choice. Obviously knew that the other party was here to disturb, but he knew that if he continued to drag on, he was afraid that the Yue Kingdom would be dragged down by grain and grass before it was won. Just look at the current food prices, but if you know, Fan Li has no good way to suppress food prices at the moment.
In fact, the grain in Vietnam is still high, ten times the original. There are three reasons for this, the first is that of course there is a reason why Yang Zilu sent cavalry to wreak havoc, and people with a little insight know that this year's production reduction has become a foregone conclusion. The people are rushing to buy grain in preparation for next year's food shortage. Second, grain merchants are hoarding grain and selling small quantities, resulting in a shortage of grain in the private sector.
But the most important reason is the third reason, the country did not open the granary. If Gou Jian is willing to open the granary to rescue the people, the current grain price will fall to the price of five dollars per bucket, or even fall back to the original price of one dollar and one bucket. There are not many Vietnamese nationals, and once there is enough grain to store, there will naturally be no more looting among Vietnamese nationals.
Fan Li can imagine that if this war drags on for a month, it will be a heavy blow to the Yue country, which has just recovered a little vitality. For this reason, Fan Li had to change his plan, and now he had to choose a risky fast attack, but even so, the war of Yue Guo was a miserable victory.
Fan Li could already predict that the old man Wu Zixu, who was now in Wu State, would wake up with a smile when he heard the battle between Han and Yue. Fan Li guessed correctly, now Wu Zixu is happy, but he is not ready to let Yang Zilu fight alone, and he is still jumping up and down, but Wu Zixu is now smart and he plays back to the side attack.
…… Gusu City Wu Wang Palace......
"The old minister sees the king!" The white-haired Wu Zixu saluted her husband.
"Xiangguo doesn't have to be polite! I don't know what happened to Xiangguo's request to see him? "Although Fucha is a little disgusted with Wu Zixu now, he is an old courtier of the two dynasties. And in the defeat of the Yue country in the war has made a lot of contributions, as the saying goes, there is no merit and hard work. So on the surface, the husband is still quite polite to Wu Zixu, an old courtier.
Wu Zixu was not polite, and when he heard his husband's words, half of his body that had already bowed down seemed to be equipped with a spring, and he straightened his waist. Seeing this, a touch of dissatisfaction immediately flashed in the depths of his eyes, Milk*Milk! said that you were fat and you gave Lao Tzu a gasp, but he still held back and didn't say anything.
Wu Zixu still didn't know about this, he was too conceited, he thought that he deserved all this, which was why he was killed by Gou Jian. But I don't know that Fucha is a monarch with a strong desire for power and self-esteem, and his actions are all relying on the old and selling the old in the eyes of Fucha, how can he not make Fucha disgusted?
Getting back to the point, after Wu Zixu straightened his waist, he said with full of energy: "The king, the old minister asks the king to summon a group of princes to ask Zhou Tianzi for Yang Zilu, the monarch of the Han State!" ”
When the husband heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Xiangguo, is this too much of a fuss?" It's just a small barbarian country! If it weren't for their deferential sake, the widow wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to them. Not to mention calling on the princes to ask for a knighthood for him. ”
When Wu Zixu heard this, he didn't think about it, and he didn't have any mood swings at all because of his husband's refusal. Wu Zixu stroked his white beard and said, "King, the old minister said this not for Yang Zilu, but for the prestige of Wu State!" ”
"Oh?" The husband responded in surprise, looked at Wu Zixu, and wondered what medicine Wu Zixu was selling. What is the relationship between this Yang Zilu and Wu Guo? also said that it was for the prestige of the state of Wu.
"Does the king know about the fire?" Wu Zixu asked.
The husband almost nodded, and said with some disapproval: "Isn't it the etiquette of discussing state affairs and foreign envoys every time!" Doesn't Xiangguo think that the widow doesn't even know this? ”
The implication is that you old man, don't bully me, I don't know anything.
Wu Zixu didn't think Xu laughed and said, "Then the king knows that the court is recruiting talents?" ”
"Oh? What is this allusion? "The husband really doesn't know about Tingliao Zhaoxian, the husband doesn't like to read too much, and even if he reads, he has a lot of military books, so he doesn't know even the most famous allusions.
"The court fire recruitment is the era of Qi Huangong, when Qi Huan Gong had just ascended the throne, he felt that there were not many talents under his hands, so he set up a court fire outside the palace gate, set up a hundred torches, day and night, to recruit talents." Wu Zixu said.
When the husband heard this, he interjected: "Duke Qi Huan is indeed the king of the overlord!" Able to be so courteous to Corporal Corporal. Xiangguo didn't let the widow follow Qi Huan's public court to recruit talents? But what does this have to do with Yang Zilu? ”
"Don't be impatient, the king!" Wu Zixu smiled indifferently, did not answer the husband's question, and continued: "But what is surprising is that after a year, no one has come to vote!" ”
Fucha's eyes widened, feeling very surprised, and even felt that Wu Zixu, the old man, was fooling himself. Duke Qi Huan is the king of a country, and he is also a big country. At that time, the prestige of the East was on a par with the Lu State, and it must be known that the country of the Lu State was the famous Zhou Gongdan. When we usually talk about Dream Zhou Gong, we mean this Zhou Gong. Not to mention that Duke Qi Huan came to seek talents with the high-level etiquette of receiving important ministers and envoys, could those talents have funny heads?
