Halfway up the mountainside, the soft singing voice wafted from the fort, and the prince of Linyi Guo Ou Liang hugged the beauty in his left hand, holding the rhino horn wine glass in his right hand, squinting his drunken eyes, his eyes were patrolling the slender waist and plump breasts of the writhing dancer, and there was a silver smile on the corner of his mouth, as if the dancer he saw was already naked on the bed, waiting for him, the prince of Linyi.

That's right, it's lucky.

When Ou Liang thought of this word, he couldn't help but be excited. To be honest, he doesn't hate the Han people, this has nothing to do with his own half-Han blood, but with this crown prince's position, if it wasn't for the Han people who killed his brother Qu Chu in Lurong, how could he have a chance to sit in this position? Lin Yi has only been in the country for thirty years, but in order to compete for the position of the crown prince, his two brothers have been killed for bad intentions, he has always been very low-key, and never dared to have such delusions, but who would have thought that this position would fall on his head.

What did the Han sages say? This is destiny, God is destined to be yours, and what you don't want is yours.

Ou Liang has lived very comfortably in recent years, Da Nang is a harbor where merchants must live, and the commercial tax here is an important source of economic income for Linyi, so only the prince can be stationed here, of course, the beauties and wine that those merchants have honored can only be enjoyed by the prince and his father, and the king of Linyi.

This huge happiness is like a big cake falling from the sky, smashing Ou Liang dizzy, and when he thinks about it, he feels his legs fluttering. The only regret is that two months ago, this place was attacked by a group of pirates, heavy losses, for which he was scared half to death, for fear of being known by Lao Tzu, who was driving in Yuenan County, fortunately, the general of Funan was righteous enough, he took the initiative to take responsibility, led the sailors to search outside for two months, and rushed back to Funan this morning to ask for troops.

Ou Liang felt that Fan Zhan was making a fuss, and a few pirates couldn't clean it up, so they needed to go back to ask for troops? However, there are some things that everyone knows and does not need to be said too clearly. Although Ou Liang was not very clear about the situation in Funanguo, he knew that Fan Zhan was not willing to just be a general, and he seemed to have a very strong interest in Fuwang.

As soon as he thought of this, Ou Liang was a little dissatisfied with Fan Zhan, Fan Zhan was only the nephew of King Funan, and King Funan had several sons, how could he succeed to the throne? This kind of person is born with backbones, and sooner or later he will be a scourge, so even when Ou Liang needs Fan Zhan's help, he keeps a certain distance, lest Fan Zhan miss and he will be unlucky.

The strings beat more urgently, danced faster, and the thin skirt flew up, revealing the two snow-white thighs under the dance skirt. Ou Liang's eyes straightened, he held his breath, looking at the flickering powder, for fear that he would not be able to see it in the blink of an eye. Although he was used to seeing a woman's body, this feeling still made his heart beat.

The banquet entered the **, the dancers flew in the pool, and the music played by various music was warm and moving, and for a while there seemed to be only the joy of drunken dreams and death.

"Color!" Ou Liang put down the wine glass, pushed away the beauty in his arms, and shouted excitedly.

"Thank you, Prince." The sweaty dancers bowed down, panting and smiling, and the breath exhaled from the wings of her nose was full of sweetness that eroded people's hearts. Ou Liang looked straight along the dancer's bodice, sat up in despair, and muttered: "Okay, dance well, good people, I like it very much, I like it very much......"

"Prince Xie." The dancer gently covered the open corset, seemed to take a step back nervously, the cowardice between his eyebrows and eyes made Ou Liang even more excited, he leaned over, grabbed the dancer's thin wrist, pulled her over and hugged her in his arms, stretched his neck, buried his head in the dancer's chest, took a deep breath, closed his eyes in fascination, and after a while, praised: "Fragrant, really fragrant!" ”

"Is it fragrant?" An eerie voice suddenly sounded, Ou Liang was stunned, and opened his eyes a little disappointed, but what he saw was a tall figure, a man squinting a pair of slender eyes, looking at him with a smile.

Ou Liang was taken aback, subconsciously stepped back, and at the same time instinctively blocked the dancer in his arms in front of him, and reached out to pull out the short knife on his waist. His hand grasped the short knife, but he couldn't pull it out - a small soft hand tightly grabbed his wrist, and he looked up in surprise and looked at the smiling dancer: "You ......"

"Suffer death." The dancer suddenly stared at her big and bright eyes, and her soft little hand raised and slashed at Ou Liang's neck. Ou Liang's eyes darkened, he exhaled a breath, and fell down softly. The dancer grabbed his wrist with one hand and pinched his neck with the other, and it wasn't until Ou Liang didn't move anymore that she let go of her hand and stood up, bowing to Cui Qian, who had been standing still.

"The fifth battalion spies on Red Leaves, and I've seen General Cui."

Cui Qian looked at this very cute little dancer Hongye, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the salute: "There is labor." ”

"Don't dare." Momiji saluted again, threw down the knife, carried the hem of the skirt, and hurried away with his companions dressed as musicians. The fort, which had just been bustling with activity, quickly fell silent, and the intoxicating sweet smell mixed with the smell of blood made people feel both frightening and intoxicating.

Cui Qian kicked away Ou Liang's corpse, picked up Ou Liang's wine glass and took a sip, smacked his lips, and looked at the dark red wine rippling in the glass disapprenously: "This sour wine is not good at all, why do so many people like it?" ”

Zhuge Zhi walked in while wiping the blood on the knife, and said with a smile: "General, each has its own good, you like Jianye's spirits, and there is nothing wrong with someone who likes this sour wine from the Western Regions." ”

Wei Wen walked in from another side and bowed down: "General, starting from the whole Hong Kong, none of the soldiers in the fort have missed the net, a total of three hundred and fifty-one people. Please give me the general's instructions. ”

"The two of you have grown up very quickly, and they have a lot of potential to be pirates." Cui Qian laughed, "No wonder the king has put so much effort into bringing you two over." To tell you the truth, Lao Cui, I really didn't look down on you sailors of Wu at first, but now that I think about it, I am too arrogant. ”

Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen looked at each other and smiled, without answering Cui Qian's words, Wei Wen continued: "General, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, should we tidy up immediately and set off immediately?" ”

"Not busy." Cui Qian waved his hand, motioned for them to sit down, picked up the glass wine bottle on the case, and poured a glass of wine for each of them: "Tell me to go down, let the brothers have a good rest, and early tomorrow morning, call all the merchants over, and kill all the merchants of Funan and Linyi." All of their goods will be given to the merchants of the Yue Kingdom, Ziyu (Wei Wen), you take them back to Zhuya, and bring the seriously injured brothers back to recuperate, and the others will fill up with fresh water and food, and go south with me. ”

Wei Wen smiled: "General, could it be that I, the pirate, am not doing a good job, and the general will not take me?" ”

Cui Qian laughed: "Didn't I say it just now, both of you have the potential to be pirates, it's just that these businessmen have suffered a lot recently, and it's not a matter for seriously injured brothers to always float on the sea, if there is no one to escort me, how can I rest assured?" Okay, after you send them back to Zhuya, tell Lord Shen and your clan brother about the situation here, and then replenish some ordnance and medicine and rush back, we will go all the way, it must not be too fast, and you will be able to catch up with us soon." Don't worry, there are good things, we will keep them for you. Ji Gong (Zhuge Zhi), do you think this is good? ”

Zhuge Zhi sipped the wine and nodded again and again: "Okay, good, the general's arrangement is very proper." ”

"And, I don't want you to go back, of course you said it was right." Wei Wen smiled and punched Zhuge Zhi, then nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then according to the general, I will rush them back after sending them back." ”

"Good." Cui Qian looked around, got up and walked to Ou Liang's corpse, pulled out the short knife on his waist, cut Ou Liang's neck, and suddenly tore off a corner of his clothes, dipped it in some blood, and then wrote a few words on the wall: "You can fight with the sky, you can fight with the earth, you can't fight with Yue." Cut off Ergen first, and then take Er's life. Then he took a step back, looked at it smugly, turned to Wei Wen and Zhuge and said straightly: "How about it, my old Cui writes these two sentences enough, right?" ”

"It's hard enough, it is estimated that Ou Lian was directly scared to death by the general's two words." Wei Wen flattened his mouth and nodded proportionally.

"Hahaha......" Cui Qian threw away the corners of his clothes, rubbed the blood stains on his hands, and laughed loudly: "You scholars, you just don't have the right mouth." ”

Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen looked at each other and smiled, shook their heads, raised the wine glass in their hands, and drank it all.

After dawn, Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen divided their labor, Zhuge Zhi went to replenish fresh water and food, and collected some weapons, Wei Wen took people to inform the merchants one by one, all the merchants of Funan and Linyi were arrested and beheaded, and their cargo ships were distributed to those Yue merchants who had been frightened for several months, and then with dozens of seriously injured soldiers, escorted these hundreds of merchant ships to sail away, and went straight to Zhuya, two hours later, Cui Qian and Zhuge Zhi disappeared into the vast sea with the warship, all the way to the south.

Ten days later, Fan Zhan rushed to Da Nang with his men and horses, and saw the empty harbor and scattered human heads, he looked at the few Chinese characters on the wall, his face was blue with anger, and at the same time he had a burst of heart palpitations. When the Vietnamese came, they challenged and bluntly said that they wanted to kill Ou Lian, but they were by no means just talking big.

Fan Zhan hesitated for a moment, and ordered someone to send the news back to Funan, the big battle is imminent, and it should not be taken lightly. At the same time, he sent the bad news of Ou Liang's killing to Ou Lian, who was in Yuenan, and told him to be careful, so as not to be exploited by the Yue people and cut off his head.

When Fan Man received Fan Zhan's news, he had just received a report from his youngest son, Fan Chang. Fan Chang was patrolling the Dianxun subject country in the south during this time, and received the news that there were pirates disturbing the border, he, like Fan Zhan of Linyi, didn't take it seriously at first, and only sent a few ships out to check, but these ships have been out of news since then, he was not at ease, and went out to sea with the fleet to search again, but he didn't even look at the shadow of the pirates. While he was out at sea, the pirates appeared in the harbor of the Dian Sun vassal with the three missing ships, slashed and slashed before the defenders could react, and then sailed away.

Fan Man had been fighting for many years, and he had a strong sense of vigilance, and he immediately realized that this group of pirates and the group of pirates mentioned by Fan Zhan might be the same group, and they were by no means real pirates, their purpose was not only to rob money, but also seemed to be more inclined to killing, and almost never left a living mouth wherever they went. After he received Fan Zhan's report, he was even more sure of his guess, and while he sent someone to tell Fan Zhan to be careful, he also increased the number of troops for Fan Chang, asking him to go all out to eliminate this group of pirates, and be sure to kill them on the seashore of Funan Kingdom. The vassal states of Funan were conquered by force, and if they failed to fulfill their obligation to protect them, the subjects would not take them seriously, or seek to read, or turn to the arms of the stronger, and the Funan kingdom would fall apart.

After issuing the order, Fan Man was still very uneasy, and he decided to send the general Fan Xun to Yue Guo to see the situation, explore the reality of Yue Guo, and prepare for the war. Although Fan Man is not a Han Chinese, he also has an understanding of the Han people's art of war, and he still knows the truth that he can win a hundred battles only if he knows the other, and he has fought according to the teachings of these art of war for many years.

After receiving the order, Fan Xun took gifts and national letters and embarked on a journey with an unknown future. Ten days later, he rushed to Bijing in Yuenan County and saw Ou Lian, who was about to go crazy.

Ou Lian is more than sixty years old, this age is considered a high life expectancy in Linyi, he originally had four sons, the second son and the third son were killed by him because of misintentions, usurping the position of the prince, in order to keep the prince Qu Chu, he can be said to be willing to pay all the price, but he didn't expect that in the end Qu Chu still did not keep it, and died in Yuenan County. He planned for this for several years, and finally at the cost of becoming a vassal state, he obtained the help of Fan Man, the king of Funan, who sent a large army to help him besiege Xijuan City, defeated Wei Ping, the Taishou of Yuenan, captured Yuenan, and then helped him come up with ideas to defeat Lu Dai. For the safety of the only remaining son, Ou Liang, he left Ou Liang in Da Nang and rushed to the south to fight, but he never thought that he, the old man who rushed to the front line, was fine, but Ou Liang, who was in the rear, was killed, and left that crazy sentence on the wall that made people vomit blood angrily.

Cut off Ergen first, and then take Ergen's life, isn't this to be wiped out?

As soon as he saw Fan Xun, Ou Lian cried bitterly, begging Fan Xun not to be frightened by Yue Guo and to fight them to the end. He told Fan Xun that Yue was the smallest of the four subject states of the Han Dynasty, they just knew how to do business, they couldn't fight, and it was okay to deal with those little pirates, but they couldn't deal with a big country like Funan, so they could only use this kind of indiscriminate method to retaliate.

Fan Xun was pitiful and hateful to Ou Lian who had a handful of snot and tears, Ou Lian was originally a character, otherwise he would not dare to take advantage of the chaos and seize Linyi County in the Han Dynasty to claim the king. Fan Xun knew that Linyi County had become a county of the Han Dynasty for three hundred years, and he was different from those vassal states, and his reading power was likely to be ruthlessly suppressed by the Han Dynasty, just like Funan, if a subject country had reading power, then the king of Funan might have to think about it, and if a county had read power, it would definitely not be discussed, and he would directly send a large army to suppress it.

But Ou Lian's gambling succeeded, he was the king for 30 years, and the Han Dynasty didn't even send a single soldier, which shows that this guy's vision is very unique. But such a shrewd person, after two sons died in succession at the hands of the Han Chinese, he also collapsed. Looking at the way he looks now, who would have thought that he was the dignified King of Linyi?

"King Linyi, don't worry, I'm not going to negotiate with them, I'm going to find out their truth." Fan Xun persuaded him with good words, he asked Ou Lian to guard the scene, not to let Lu Dai take advantage of the loophole, and then accepted a beautiful Ji sent by Ou Lian, boarded a boat, went down the coast, and rushed to Jiuzhen to meet Lu Dai.

Lu Dai was very strange when he saw Fan Xun, he had been in Jiuzhen for almost half a year, and he had never seen the envoy of Funan, but he sent several groups of envoys to Funan, hoping to resolve the dispute with Funan in a diplomatic way. In his opinion, since he was a child, Yuenan has been the territory of the Han Dynasty for three or four hundred years, and even the Linyi Kingdom is the territory of the Han Dynasty, and this matter is completely an internal matter of the Han Dynasty and has nothing to do with Funan, so he hopes to persuade the king of Funan not to meddle in this matter, and let him and Ou Lian solve it. But his hopes were in vain, and several groups of emissaries did not return after being sent out, and there was no news.

The first thing he did when he saw Fan Xun was to ask where those messengers were? Did you kill me, or did you not see it at all? Fan Xun patted his chest and swore that he hadn't seen those messengers, from Jiuzhen to Funan, he had to cross the long mountain, pass through several passes, and the dense forest, they were either lost, or they were eaten by the fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, anyway, the king of Funan had definitely not seen these messengers. Fan Xun said that if the king of Funan knew the good intentions of the adults, this war would have ended long ago, and we in Funan had no interest in helping Ou Lian to fight, and it was he who dragged us into the water.

Lu Dai was suspicious, he did not embarrass Fan Xun, but arranged for Fan Xun to board the sea ship that went directly to Zhuya, in order to show his attention, Lu Dai ordered the captain Chen Shi to accompany him.

When Fan Xun arrived at Zhuya, Sun Shao had just arrived in Zhuya. As soon as he arrived at Zhuya, he called Wei Wen, who was about to set sail again, to ask for news from Cui Qian and the others. Wei Wen said what they did in the Linyi area, Sun Shao was very satisfied, and encouraged them to make the movement bigger, but pay attention to safety, according to reliable sources, the sailors of Funan Country are not dry meals, their journey at sea is not inferior to the sailors of Yue Kingdom, and now it is a guest battle, the other party has the advantage of being familiar with the terrain, although Cui Qian is very set, but it is better to be careful.

Wei Wen was grateful, and set off with supplies and high morale.

Hearing that the envoy of Funan Kingdom was coming, Sun Shao smiled. He expressed great interest, and successively sent several groups of people to the post house to meet Fan Xun, and then received Fan Xun with grand courtesy, set up a banquet to entertain Fan Xun, and courteous manners, so that Fan Xun enjoyed the treatment of VIPs. After Fan Xun was surprised at the beginning, he was immediately willing, and in the face of Sun Shao's polite and cautious inquiry, he boasted triumphantly, blowing Funan as the first power in the world.

Fan Xun, who was drunk with Zhuya's liquor, finally said to Sun Shao, we don't want to fight with Yueguo, and it was not intentional to kill those merchants, they broke the law in Funan, so we killed him. If King Yue wants to seek justice, then it is okay, as long as you are willing to form an alliance with our Funan Kingdom, we are willing to symbolize the meaning of the surname and give you a step down. As for Yuenan County, originally, it has nothing to do with us, but now Linyi State is a subject country of our Funan, if Wu State - on the way here, Fan Xun already knows that Yuenan belongs to the territory of Wu State, and has nothing to do with Yue State at all - is willing to reconcile, we can persuade Ou Lian to withdraw from Yuenan, everyone has something to say, do not fight, do not know each other, be friends in the future, and make a fortune together.

Sun Shao didn't say anything, but said that he wanted to discuss it. After sending Fan Xun away, Sun Shao left Sun Deng and Chen Shi behind, and asked bluntly: "Can Lu Dinggong still fight, and what is Wu Guo's plan?" ”

Sun Deng was already moved after listening to Fan Xun's words, if he could take back Yuenan County without fighting, then why fight, his task was to recover Yuenan, as long as Yuenan came back, his task would be completed, and the credit would be given. But listening to Sun Shao's words, how could he have other ideas? Didn't Funan promise compensation, and he was still not satisfied? For the sake of a few merchants, do you really want to go to war with the powerful Funan Kingdom? What's more, those businessmen did not die unjustly, they were to blame.

"What do you mean, big brother?" Sun Deng asked tentatively.

Sun Shao's face was angry: "The people who killed my Yue Kingdom, robbed your Wu Kingdom's land, and finally lost a few dollars and returned your land, and it was over?" ”

"What is the big brother going to do?"

"It's okay to pay if you want to." Sun Shao squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Not only those lives and those goods have to be compensated, but also the military expenses that we have rushed over thousands of miles and the losses in the south, they all have to compensate, not only to compensate, but also to fine." Otherwise, when will they be happy, and what will they do if they come again? ”

Sun Deng interrupted Sun Shao's words unhappily: "But the cause of this incident is that those merchants are lawless, even if you are in the country, these merchants will inevitably die, and the real loss is just some goods." We have borne the losses of our Wu country, as for you Yue Guo, what losses do you have? Cui Qian pretended to be pirates and robbed along the way, and what they gained far outweighed your losses, so why expand the war? ”

"So, you're inclined to retire and make peace?" Sun Shao sneered.

"Yes, I intend to accept their peace talks." Sun Deng nodded unhappily: "I will rush to Jiuzhen with Chen Shi immediately, I believe that the Lu Ding Guild will support my opinion." ”

"Yes." Sun Shao pursed his lips and dismissed: "You go and talk about peace, I want to talk to Fan Xun alone." I won't give up until I get the compensation I am satisfied with. By the way, I left the 2,000 people in Zhou Xun, and the big tiger can't be left unprotected, so I'll send someone else to send you to Jiuzhen safely. ”

"How does this work?" Sun Deng's face sank: "He was sent by his father to protect me." ”

"Protecting you?" Sun Shao's eyes rolled: "Aren't you planning to make peace?" There is no battle to fight, what are the security issues? Zhou Xun has such good qualifications not to fight, what a waste of just following you to play in the mountains and rivers, I am practicing for you, if you don't thank me, what kind of attitude is this? If you feel that you are at a loss, I will not take advantage of you, I will take the money, I will buy it, I will ask for people, and I will take the prisoner and pay it back to you. ”

Sun Deng's face turned pale with anger, and he didn't know how to answer Sun Shao's almost scoundrel words.

Sun Deng smiled gloomily: "Although Lao Cui is uneducated, this sentence is very good, you can fight with the sky, you can fight with the earth, you can't fight with Yue." If you don't let them suffer a little, how do they know that I can't be provoked by Yueguo? If he violates the law, he should be killed, but if I have to kill him, how can he kill him? My people, I can kill, he, can't be killed! ”

(To be continued)
