Panyu city is close to the mountains and rivers, there is no high city wall, only the moat, the city gate is a bridge, there are heavy guards, compared with the cities of the Central Plains, Panyu can not be regarded as a city, but like the military camp of the frontier, the area is very large, the houses are slightly more, all are wooden, simple and undecorated.

There were a lot of people on the street, and when they saw He Yan leading the three of them, they all put down their work and watched, and there were many discussions, but there were more people staring at Mengya, and Mengya saw so many men's greedy eyes for the first time.

The palace is a bit like a palace, at least it is built using earth and stone, the palace gate is engraved with a totem, it is a sacred bird, the main hall is very spacious, there are many people sitting in it, see no obstacle and others enter the hall, all look at it.

Lu Jia is over fifty years old, wearing a crown and a black embroidered robe, and he is a thin old man, sitting on the top of the main hall.

Wuxian walked steadily to the bottom of the royal steps, bowed down and said: "Foreign minister, Li Zhong, the special envoy of the Qin State, is ordered by the First Emperor to meet the King of the South!"

Lu Jia got up and said in an old voice: "The envoy has come from thousands of miles away, and the king is very happy, happy, but I don't know why the envoy didn't take off his mask and let the king see him?"

Wu Jian replied: "The minister suffered an accident when he was young, his face was ruined, ugly and terrifying, His Majesty specially gave this mask, so that the minister should wear it on his face at all times and not take it off, so as not to disturb others, cover his face to see the king of the south, there are rude numbers, and I hope the king of the south will forgive me." ”

"I see, this king will not mind. Lu Jia turned to Mengya, who was careless and did not give courtesy, and said, "The girl next to the envoy is Princess Mengya Yueshang?"

Meng Ya replied: "Meng Ya has seen the King of the South!"

Although the ministers received a rumor that the princess of Yueshang would accompany Fanwu, they didn't know what they meant, and they didn't know why the two came together, and the relationship was quite close.

Lu Jia said with a smile: "Although my Nanyue and Yueshang are only separated by a river, there is no contact, today the princess can come to my Panyu, it is really a great thing, a great thing, envoy, princess, please sit!"

Two seats were reserved on the east side of the Wang Steps, and Wu Jian and Meng Ya sat down under the guidance of He Xian, and stood behind them in the waves.

Lu Jia sat back on the throne and said: "The documents sent by the envoy, this king has already seen, if the strategy of 'governing the more with the more' mentioned above can be realized, it is indeed beneficial to my South Vietnam, but South Vietnam is weak, in an isolated place, it is really not autonomous, the Qin army is cruel, Bai Yue is not indignant, if I surrender to South Vietnam, I will be spurned, Bai Yue will be defeated, the special envoy has also seen it, how can I be the moat of Panyu District?"

Wu Barrier said: "Then it depends on the meaning of King Nan, a moat, 50,000 elite soldiers, is enough." ”

"Have you forgotten that the 300,000 Qin troops have just been buried in the swamp, and now there are 300,000 coalition troops, and their morale is high, and they are fighting with 50,000 elite soldiers, like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

Wu Barrier said: "If the general leads the troops, he will definitely be defeated!"

The general stood up, drew his sword and shouted: "Presumptuous, you dare to insult this general, this general will kill you right now and break your thoughts of the Qin State!"

"General Shi, sit down!" Lu Jia ordered.

General Shi snorted coldly: "Do you know that I also have my share in destroying your Qin army, and let you live a little longer!"

Wuxian said calmly: "Does the general have any victories in addition?"

As soon as these words came out, some people lowered their heads and snickered.

General Shi said angrily: "You ......"

Wuxian preemptively said: "If you can't answer, you don't, I told the general why, first, discouraged without fighting, the military war is taboo, even if the number is superior to the enemy, it is impossible to win, second, the general does not understand the art of war, this defense and offensive tactics are different, how can you measure victory or defeat by the number of people alone, third, the general does not know the number, if South Vietnam surrenders to my Great Qin, where is there still 300,000 coalition troops. ”

Meng Ya sneered on the side and said, "If the general doesn't even know the number, then he doesn't know what to fight, and he doesn't know if the soldiers are lost." ”

General Shi was so angry that his face was full of iron: "We'll see you on the battlefield!"

Wu Jie said: "If the king of the south obeys the command of his foreign ministers, he will only win and not be defeated." ”

Lu Jia said with a smile: "The envoy laughed, my South Vietnam has not tasted victory in recent years, the soldiers are scared, and when facing the enemy, they only want to escape, even if the envoy has a clever plan, there is nothing to do with them." ”

Wu Jie said: "The military spirit can be inspired, and military law can deter deserters, and foreign ministers may not use them to fight." ”

"King, don't listen to him, 'long-distance friendship and close attack' is the usual trick of the Qin State, the Six Kingdoms of Shandong were annexed in this way, if I stand by and watch from Nanyue, after destroying Xi Zhen and Wen Lang, the next one will be my Nanyue!" The middle-aged man who was separated from Wuxian suddenly got up and said, this person was wearing a gray robe, tied his hair and wearing a crown, his eyes were small and his face was long, and two whiskers flowed from his lips.

Wu Barrier said: "What the Lord said is good, but that was a strategy in the past, and now that is fighting Baiyue, Great Qin doesn't have to be like this, it can be destroyed together." ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar, and the leader of the Wang clan smiled and said: "Is the envoy here to persuade or to threaten, doesn't the envoy want to leave alive?"

Wujian still said calmly: "There is not much difference between persuasion and threat, insufficient strength can only persuade, and strong strength is a threat." ”

The leader said to Lu Jia: "There is no need to talk to him more, pull him out and kill this arrogant boy, South Vietnam will resolutely fight against the Qin State to the end!"

Lu Jia said: "Fang Yu, don't be rude, listen to the envoy continue." ”

Wu Barrier said: "King Xie Nan, I have unified the six countries of Shandong, and now I am strong and strong, with sufficient grain and grass, not to mention how many soldiers and horses, there are millions of disciples in Lishan alone, it can be said that it is a heyday, there is an occasional defeat, no harm in general, the key to the victory or defeat of the war lies in the contest between national strength and military strength, let me ask you, how is Baiyue compared to Chu State?"

The kings of Chu advocated 'southward expansion', which made hundreds of people move south and the land of Chu continued to expand, so that there was a saying of 'thousands of miles of Chu land', and such a powerful state of Chu was finally destroyed by Qin, and the strength of the state of Qin was undoubted, and the whole palace was silent.

Wu Jian continued: "The coalition army adopts a roundabout ambush strategy, in a vain attempt to encroach on our Qin army, although it has been effective, but it is not a long-term solution, it will lose the land when it rushes and swims, sleep in the open in Ze, eat grass to satisfy hunger, how can it survive forever, and the coalition army has been like a python that has swallowed an elephant, it is difficult to hide, it is necessary to fight a decisive battle with our Qin army, at that time, the coalition army has nothing to defend, is there still a chance of victory?"

Lu Jia's face was even more sad, and Fang Yu smiled: "Don't listen to his alarmist words, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu, not to mention that the military strength is equal, we have the right time and place." ”

Wu Barrier said: "The time, the right place, and the right people are indeed the key to the war, but the choice of when and where to fight the decisive battle is not determined by one party.

The king was extremely vicious, shameless, and broke his promises, and South Vietnam suffered greatly.

Fang Yu said angrily: "That's better than being invaded by the Qin State!" Qin Jun is not benevolent, and when he gets the six countries of Shandong, he will be harsh and tyrannical, and the people will be resentful, and now Zhou Tianzi is in Wenlang, as long as he orders the world and has the same hatred for the enemy, he can overthrow Qin." ”

"If Ji Jie can command the world, he will not send people under the fence and attach himself to Wen Lang, if Zhou Tianzi is virtuous, there will be no princes to divide and fight for many years, not to mention how can King Xiong give up his position to let him sit, but under the banner of the Son of Heaven, to achieve his hegemony, if he wins Baiyue, will he treat Nanyue well?"

Fang Yu pointed at Wu Barrier and said, "Are you arguing with strong words?"

"It seems that Your Excellency has ignored it?"

Fang Yu said: "King, don't listen to this person's sophistry!"

"This is not sophistry, but a fact, my Great Qin's annexation of Southern Xinjiang is the trend of the times, this time the foreign ministers went south, but they didn't want to see the fall of South Vietnam, shed too much blood, as long as South Vietnam surrendered to my Great Qin, this disaster can be avoided, dare to ask the King of the South, the name, or the profit?"

Lu Jia lamented: "This king is already old, this name and Li are no longer important, if you can keep my Panyu city, the people will stay away from the suffering of war, even if you want the king's head now, this king is willing to offer it with both hands, but the Qin State has never kept its promises, if South Vietnam submits to Qin, the coalition army will inevitably attack my South Yue Panyu, how can the envoy ensure that the Qin army will not sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

Wu Barrier said: "The foreign minister will stay in Panyu, advance and retreat with the king of the south, and ensure that Panyu is not lost." ”

A young man in brocade clothes at the second seat on the east side spoke: "Isn't there anyone in my Panyu anymore, and use you, a foreign minister who can only talk on paper, to command?" What's more, we will never surrender to Qin, we will kill as many people as the Qin army comes, father, don't hesitate, kill him and hand him over to King Xiong, and show your heart as soon as possible!"

This person is Lu Jia's eldest son Lu Meng, he is not handsome, but he is very neat, very much like a learned person, his eyes never leave Mengya, he is very unreasonable, and he is staring at Mengya even when he speaks.

But Mengya didn't care, since he left Yuxiang Valley, most of the men he had seen were like this, and she quickly got used to being shone on her body with this kind of eyes, adding to the luster of enchanting arrogance.

Immediately afterward, there was a cry in the hall, "Kill him, kill him, kill him,......"

Lu Jia was silent for a long time, and Wu Jian looked at him and was silent for a long time, holding the long sword in the waves, his face was even more expressionless, motionless, and Meng Ya didn't care about this call, but felt a little noisy.

When the call gradually subsided, Lu Jia said: "This king is a little tired, this tired head is confused, some things I don't understand, why don't you send it, take the envoy and Princess Mengya to rest first, wait for me to breathe a sigh, and then make a decision!"

Lu Meng persuaded: "Father, if you hesitate any longer, Wen Lang will call!"

Lu Jia said: "Even if the alliance resists Qin, you can't treat the envoy badly, if the envoy has any mistakes, this king will investigate his responsibility, if you have the ability, go to the battlefield, I think you are more confused than this king, how can you achieve great things in the future." After saying that, he was helped away by the attendants.

He Xun came to Wuxian and said, "Sir, princess, please come with your humble position!"
