The words are divided into two ends, and Gou Jianjun and his ministers raise horses in the stone room to guard the tomb, and they will not press the table for the time being. First of all, Wu Xiangguo's soldiers secretly sent Yue Peng to the area of Guling in Yue Guo to investigate the main force of the Vietnamese army.

The capital city of Gusu, not far from the West Gate, has a majestic mansion. This mansion is built by the order of He Lu himself, there are four towering log pillars in front of the house gate, supporting the black gold wooden fang door on the door of the house, and the door face is the three words of "Xiangguo Mansion" written by He Lu himself, birds and insects, and gold characters on a black background. The main entrance of Xiangguo Mansion has four heavy vermilion gates, which are decorated with semicircular bronze door nails, and the animal-shaped door knocker with a tiger's head is scorching and shining in the sun.

On both sides of the gate, there is a bluestone carved stone beast, and there are several horse-tied stakes outside the stone beast.

Early in the morning, a burly, black-faced and short-haired man got off the carriage dozens of steps away from the Prime Minister's Mansion and ordered his entourage to tie the horse stake outside the gate of the mansion and set the horse. The guards on duty outside seemed to be very familiar with the visitor, so they greeted the visitor and led him into the mansion.

As soon as the soldiers had finished grooming, the concubines had arranged their court clothes for him, and Yuqin had personally served him for breakfast, and he hurried out of the inner room and came to the main hall.

"Report to Xiangguo, Yue Peng has something to see outside." A waiter came in to give a report.

The soldiers were overjoyed when they heard this, and said repeatedly: "You still don't let him in!" The old man has been waiting anxiously these days, and he is finally back! ”

"The villain has asked him to wait for the master in the main hall."

The soldiers stepped up, and they didn't bother to quarrel with the attendant, so they saw Yue Peng wearing a gray casual clothes, covered with wind and dust, sitting on the bamboo mat at the bottom of the main hall. The soldiers knew that he had just returned to Gusu, and he might not even have entered his own house.

"The young general has seen Xiangguo." Yue Peng hugged his fists and prepared to bend down and kneel down to salute.

The soldier stepped forward and held it up, and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't have to be so trivial. You come with the old man! ”

The two turned around and walked through a long corridor into a study room on the west side.

Yue Peng entered the study room, then turned around and closed the door. The soldier pointed to the ground, and the two sat down side by side.

"This time you arrived in Yueguo, how did things go?" The soldiers were a little impatient.

"Report to Xiangguo: The young general was ordered by Xiangguo to quietly sneak into Yue Guo as a merchant. I first arrived in the area of Guling, and after some inquiry, I knew that there was indeed a main force left in the Yue country, which was the Vietnamese army that Fan Li withdrew from Gucheng Mountain. The main force of the Vietnamese army still has 10,000 people. ”

The soldiers' faces were beaming. nodded and said: "At that time, the king gave Bo Ya the right to make decisions on the spot, but I hate that this Bo Ya did not handle this matter properly, which made the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom want to hide from the sky and the sea, leaving this army as the family base for the revenge of the powerful country in the future." Good! As long as this matter is true, I will let Gou Jian die convincingly! ”

Yue Peng said: "The young general has to talk about this matter in detail: the young general pretended to be a merchant and went to Guling. Mingled with the local people, and after some understanding. The main force of the 10,000 Vietnamese army in Guling is now led by Xu Yong. However, in order to cover up people's eyes and ears, Xu Yong turned these Vietnamese troops into pieces and opened up wasteland and farmed land in the Guling area, in fact, they adopted two methods, these Vietnamese soldiers were ordinary people in peacetime, and cultivating land could realize their self-sufficiency. Being able to conceal his military identity is the best of both worlds! ”

Wu Yuan sighed: "Although the country of Yue is small, but the country of Yue has capable ministers and strategists like Fan Li and Wen Chong, and Yue is really a problem in our hearts!" It's a pity that the king is kind-hearted and soft-faced. In a false name for a while, he actually pardoned the king of Yue! The old man is worried about this, this Yue Wangfu is not a simple person in my opinion, he can endure humiliation and burden so much, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future. Therefore, the old man is very worried, so he sent you to seize this handle, and we can get rid of Gou Jian's monarch and ministers. ”

The young general also learned that in Huiji, the capital of Yueguo, there was another army in Yueguo, which was the army that the king of Yue used to attack the west from Gucheng Mountain to break out of the encirclement. Later, the king of Yue brought back Huiji, and now he is a general, with a little 5,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Wu Yuan frowned and said: "It seems that the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom have bad intentions!" The king does not punish Gou Jian and does not destroy the Yue Kingdom, but Gou Jian secretly disobeys the yang and the yin, but he has the will to take revenge! Today, I will sue the king in person, explaining the sinister intentions of the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom. ”

Yue Peng sighed: "It's a pity that these are the truths, but Xiangguo has not thought about it, the army of Guling in Yue has been scattered for the people, and the monarchs and ministers of Yue Kingdom will not admit it if they are killed, but it is difficult to catch any evidence that can be trusted." The more cunning the people are, they have already counted it here. ”

The soldier muttered, "I should report this to the king. What else is suspicious about the country? ”

"The young general heard that Yue Guo was looking for beautiful women all over the country, saying that he was going to offer to the king and Dazai."

"Hey! The king is lustful, and the Yue people also know the Tao. Naturally, the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom will offer beautiful women to the king to please the king. Once the king is bewitched by beauty, the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom can fish in troubled waters to achieve their ulterior purposes. ”

Yue Peng has always followed the soldiers, and the soldiers are also very concerned about the politics and public conditions of the country, so on the way to the country, they also paid great attention to it: "The country of Vietnam is governed by the culture, and this person does have some ways to govern the country." Since the defeat of the Yue Kingdom, there are few men in the country. Now the country is encouraging the people to have children and vigorously supporting them. Taxes on the people were also greatly reduced, and his idea was to enrich the people first, and then to enrich the country. ”

The soldier sighed and said: "As long as Yue Guo sums up the lesson, and after a period of hard work, Yue Guo will gradually become stronger, and it will be impossible to control Yue Guo in the palm of his hand like he is doing now." ”

"The young general heard that the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom entered Wu as ministers, and now they are guarding the tomb of the first king in Huqiu Mountain. The king wants the king to submit, and these means alone are not enough. ”

The soldier sneered and said: "Gou Jian's plan can no longer be understood, in order to make the temple of Yue Kingdom immortal, he voluntarily entered Wu as a hostage, and came to give up the small and take the big." And the king's strategy is very ridiculous, wanting to make the Yue state submit to the state of Wu instead of occupying it. But I think Gou Jian will not give in in his heart, unless he kills him and destroys the Yue Kingdom, this troubled will be lifted. ”

"If the king still doesn't follow Xiangguo's advice, what should we do?" Although Yue Peng obtained this information from Yue Guo, after all, King Wu had pardoned Gou Jian's ministers, and more powerful reasons were needed to make King Wu repent.

The soldier paused for a moment, bit his lip, and said for a long time: "If the king still insists on not listening this time, you can think of a way to summon a few brothers to Huqiu Mountain to remove Gou Jian." Our soldiers are saddled with the infamy of bullying the monarch, and we also want to let the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom not want to retreat with their whole body. Unless, unless the king kills the old man! ”

Yue Peng looked at the silver hair of the soldiers, and felt sad in his heart: this stubborn old man, he is no longer treated by King Wu, but he is still so stubbornly planning for the future of Wu, and the winner of the benefits, the husband who sits on the high throne, not only did not accept his affection, but also gave him a bunch of white eyes. This is something that outsiders can see, but the old man still goes his own way, and does not seem to understand at all: the husband has developed a deep estrangement and suspicion with him, and he wishes that this old fellow should not talk in front of him.

The state of Wu belongs to itself, and how to govern the country and what kind of national strategy to formulate, Fucha wants to have absolute power. And this white-haired old man, with great power in his hands, has become an odious stumbling block.

Thinking of this, Yue Peng couldn't help but sweat for the soldiers, and persuaded: "If the king is unwilling to adopt Xiangguo's suggestion, Xiangguo must not force it." If we secretly get rid of Gou Jian's monarchs and ministers, once the king learns about it, won't Xiangguo send it to the door himself? ”

The soldier said slightly angrily: "The old man helped him to be the king, am I blind?" ”

Yue Peng kept his mouth shut and didn't dare to answer. Seeing that the soldiers were still angry, he persuaded in a low voice: "Xiangguo will explain this matter to the king first, and see how the king will deal with it." I believe that in the current situation, the king will still follow Xiangguo's advice to a certain extent. ”

Wu Yuan nodded, and said to Yue Peng: "Wu Feng is the lone species of my Wu family. Thinking of the ancient precepts of the literati Anbang and the warrior Dingguo, my wife and I didn't teach him much about martial arts. But after these days of reflection, the old man still believes that practicing martial arts can defend himself and keep fit. So you should spend more time in the future and give him some skills. Even if something happens to the old man, you can protect him from danger. ”

Yue Peng listened to the sadness from his heart. At this time, a guard came to urge, saying that it was time to go to the court. The soldier explained a few words to Yue Peng, so that he settled in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after he went down to the court, he still had something to ask. (To be continued......)
