Cai Lu is going crazy!

He had no intention of starting a war with Jing Guo, it was entirely because of the instigation of a big man in Nanchu, plus the help of two mysterious grandmasters. He felt that he was sure of victory, so that the territory of Cai State could be expanded, and Cai State would become a second-class vassal state, so he launched a war.

He himself knew that Cai Guo was actually a chess piece, and Jing Guo was also a chess piece, the result of the fighting of the two big shots. But he is willing to be used, because as long as the matter is completed, Cai Guo will be able to take off, and he will also become one of the greatest lords in the history of Cai Guo, and his name will go down in history.

Who knew that a seventh prince of Jingguo came back from the dead, and with his own strength, he reversed the tide of the battle and made Cai Guo defeated. In this battle, Cai Guo mobilized the strength of the whole country, not only the army suffered heavy casualties, but also killed a grandmaster, which can be described as a huge loss.

Later, Li Yunyi took revenge, and more than 1,000 blood wolf cavalry entered Cai State, turned around in Cai's country, and destroyed Cai's economic lifeline. Now Cai Lu doesn't know how to compensate for the sky-high silk order, and in the past few days, he has been asking Zhu Gui for help, but he didn't expect Jingguo to be a demon again?

died a Li Yunyi, went to a Li Yunxiang, and then Li Yunxiang sent a letter of state to beat Cai Guo?

Cai Guo's current situation in China is very bad, and many civil and military officials are dissatisfied with him. The people in the country are not happy, many people have nothing to eat, he received news that some people in several states and counties have signs of rebellion, if Jingguo attacks again, Cai Guo may really be destroyed.

After receiving the news, he hurried to Zhu Gui's mansion and asked to see Zhu Gui. Not long after Zhu Gui returned to the mansion, he knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he asked Cai Lu to bring him in.

"Prime Minister Zhu, help!"

Cai Lu shouted as soon as he came in, without the slightest bit of the prestige of the lord of the country, and he bowed deeply to Zhu Gui and said: "Prime Minister Zhu, if you don't save your life, my Cai Kingdom will be finished." ”

Zhu Gui was very thin, with a long white beard and a long nose, he got up and helped Cai Lu up and said, "Brother Cai, why do you have to be like this, sit down and say, don't worry." ”

"Prime Minister Xie!"

Cai Lu said with a grateful face, after he sat down, Zhu Gui asked people to serve tea, waved away the maid and said, "Brother Cai, why are you in such a hurry? The old man has just returned home, and his ass is not hot." ”

"Knowingly, old fox!"

Cai Lu secretly discussed, and said with a bitter face: "Prime Minister Zhu, Li Yunxiang, the new regent of Jingguo, issued a letter of state today, and he wants to beat us Cai Guo." You know, in the last war, the treasury was almost empty, and those workshops in Silk City were destroyed again. Prime Minister Zhu, you want to save me. ”

Cai Lu was about to cry when he said it, but Zhu Gui drank tea leisurely, and only after Cai Lu finished speaking did he wave his hand and said: "It's not that serious, Jingguo won't fight, don't worry." ”

"Prime Minister Zhu, Li Yunxiang is a dead brain!"

Cai Lu was anxious, and hurriedly said: "And Jingguo is rich now, Li Yunyi got a lot of money in the major vassal states last time." Because of Li Yunyi's death, Jingguo is now the same enemy, and the national letter has been issued, and with Li Yunxiang's temperament, he will definitely fight. Prime Minister Zhu, can't you see death without help. ”

"Do you really think that Jingguo is Li Yunxiang's decision?"

Zhu Gui glanced at Cai Lu and said, "Li Yunyu has more means than Li Yunxiang, and he is also an expert in governance, why didn't Jingguo elect Li Yunyu, but Li Yunxiang? Don't you want to think about all this?"

"Uh......"

Cai Lu groaned, and after a moment he said, "Prime Minister Zhu, what do you mean... Is Cao Li the head of Jingguo's family? Li Yunxiang is just a puppet?"

"Huh!"

Zhu Gui smiled and said: "Cao Li was the commander of the Jingguo Imperial Forest Army before, a loyal dog of the Li family, and a simple military general, how could he have such means and scheming? Even if he wanted to do this, that eunuch grandmaster would definitely not be on his side." ”

Cai Lu was confused, he pondered for a moment, still a little puzzled, he asked, "Prime Minister Zhu, what do you mean?"

"Don't worry so much!"

Zhu Gui said: "Anyway, this battle can't be fought, don't worry." There is no way to do things in Silk City, the old man can only approve a note for you, you go to the major commercial banks to borrow, and get through this time first. The court is very difficult now, and the court is not the old man alone who has the final say...... Many of your orders belong to other dynasties, and it is useless for the old man to come forward in this matter. ”

Cai Lu's face sank, and although it was not Zhu Gui who had hinted that he was attacking Jingguo, he was Zhu Gui's henchmen. And the man also took out Zhu Gui's token, if it wasn't for that, how could he attack Jingguo?

Now that Cai Guo has become like this, Zhu Gui has left it alone? This is a little too unrighteous, right?

Of course, Cai Lu scolded her mother in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on the surface, and she didn't even dare to say it. Even if he said it, Zhu Gui would definitely not admit it, but would be furious, and the situation would be even worse at that time.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Prime Minister Zhu, the Southern Chu Dynasty has a big business, and if you squeeze it out of any corner, it will be a huge amount of money." You know, the interest rate on the loans of those merchant groups is very high. In Cai Guo's situation, there is no way to recover in a short period of time and a few years, and this high interest will further destroy Cai Guo's vitality, and the situation in our country will be even worse. ”

"Brother Cai!"

Zhu Gui sighed and said, "You just see the surface, Nanchu is now suffering from internal and external troubles." The Great Zhou Dynasty is fierce and looks at Eastern Shenzhou, and it is estimated that it will not be long before there will be a war. The Eastern Qi Dynasty has accumulated national strength for more than ten years, and now their dynasty is strong and strong, and they may use troops against us at any time. You know the internal situation in Southern Chu, our Majesty deliberately cultivated two great princes to fight with the East Palace, and there was serious internal strife in the country, and the party was fighting endlessly. Although the old man is the head of the civil officials, if he wants to do something, the officials of the other factions will try their best to stop and hold back. Do you think they will agree to allocate funds to Cai Guo for no reason?"

Cai Lu's face became even more gloomy, although Zhu Gui made a lot of sense, in his opinion, it was all a pretext. The Great Zhou Dynasty has been in constant friction with the Beiyue Dynasty recently, even if it wants to go to war with Southern Chu. Eastern Qi only fought a big battle with Southern Chu more than ten years ago, and although it won a big victory, it also lost a lot, and if it really wants to start a war, it will not wait until today.

The Southern Chu Dynasty is located in the south of Eastern Shenzhou, and because of its geography, it is the richest here. Of the five major dynasties of Eastern Shenzhou, Southern Chu was the richest. What Cai Lu said just now was right, the Southern Chu Dynasty casually squeezed out a little silver tael, which was enough for Cai Guo to survive this crisis.

As for the partisanship, it's even more of a joke!

Zhu Guike is one of the giants of Southern Chu, and if he really wants to do something, the rest of the factions will definitely give in. Otherwise, what the rest of the factions want to do, Zhu Gui can easily jam them. Isn't politics the product of mutual compromise?

To put it bluntly, Zhu Gyu used Cai Guo before. Now that Cai Guo is useless to him, he will leave it alone.

The question is, what can Cai Lu do?

Or broke the news that Zhu Gui secretly sent the grandmaster to help them attack Jingguo and violate the rules? There is no evidence for this, and it is useless to break out, but it will completely offend Zhu Gui, and Cai Guo will be finished at that time.

Not to mention Cai, even the strongest vassal state, Yasuko, did not dare to argue with Southern Chu. Only when all the vassal states join forces can Nan Chu be afraid. When the Southern Chu Dynasty is determined to destroy one vassal state, the rest of the vassal states will definitely choose to remain silent...

Cai Lu said goodbye and left, sat on the luxurious carriage, looked at the traffic on the street outside through the gap in the window, his eyes suddenly showed a trace of ruthlessness, gritted his teeth and murmured: "Zhu Gui, Zhu Gui, if you are unkind, blame me for being unjust." If Jingguo really attacks our country, we can't stand it, so we will blow up your affairs, and we will drag you into the water if we die. ”

......

Ye Guogong Mansion, backyard!

Ye Xiangfo, who suffers from dementia, welcomed a heavyweight guest in the house today, Dingnan Ram Qiu.

One is the former generalissimo of soldiers and horses, the first person in the Southern Chu military, and the other is one of the giants of the dynasty and one of the two military gods. If today's meeting spreads, I am afraid that the entire Southern Chu Dynasty will be shaken, and the rest of the giants, including Mi Xiong, will attach great importance to it.

The two sat in a small attic in the backyard, Ye Xiangfo was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, and he was still sitting by the fire, his eyes were half-squinted, as if he was asleep. The ram Qiu was holding the tongs, fiddling with the charcoals, and the two did not speak, but the atmosphere did not seem awkward.

After a while, Ram Qiu spoke: "Old marshal, with a Ye Qingyu and a gold medal, you shouldn't be able to suppress those two, and they may still do something to Li Yunyi." I came here today just to discuss with you, gather the strength of our two families, and protect that kid. ”

Ye Xiangfo lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, the two sparse eyebrows trembled slightly, and his eyelids opened slightly: "Ram, why do you want to protect that kid? This is not like your style." ”

"Old marshal!"

Ram Qiu raised his head and said with a serious face: "I am not protecting him, but Nan Chu." I have a hunch that Great Zhou or Eastern Qi may move us to move our troops, and it won't be too long. ”

Ye Xiangfo raised his head, glanced at Ram Qiu and said, "Then you should get the method of building those three major arms?"

"It's useless to get it!"

Ram Qiu said: "Li Yunyi gave me a prescription and a weapon building method, and I want to improve the sergeant on a large scale. This requires a huge amount of medicinal materials, and it can't cultivate too many sergeants in a short time. The Eastern Qi Dynasty has spies in our major military regions, and if there is an abnormal movement, they may immediately come over, and they may even unite the Western Jin Dynasty and the Great Zhou. So the Nanchu military can't move, since Nanchu can't move, it's better to let that kid toss. No matter how you say it, Jingguo is a vassal state of Southern Chu, and they are both prosperous and prosperous with Southern Chu, and they secretly cultivate a large army, and they can also help Southern Chu in the future when the dynasty fights. ”

Ye Xiangfo smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to bake the oven fire and said: "The imperial court is not all confused, the entire Eastern Shenzhou is about to undergo drastic changes, but there is still internal strife in the court, and if it goes on like this, Southern Chu may be the first dynasty to perish." Okay, you go, I've been here for a long time, Chu Yuge will find out. ”

Ram Qiu stood up, arched his hand, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Ye Xiangfo continued to bow his head and roast the fire, his eyes narrowed again, but his mouth muttered: "The general trend of the world, it will be together for a long time." The great chaos is coming, and this time it is estimated that at least one or two dynasties will fall, and the people of the world will suffer again..."
