Chapter 052: Shimimu

Qingji took his own car of the Six Imperial Kings, surrounded by thousands of subjects, got out of the car and slowly walked to the shore of Xianghu Lake.

However, according to the etiquette system, he did not immediately ascend to the boxy altar to worship the Emperor of Heaven!

For sacrifices, you must choose an auspicious time.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, although the etiquette collapsed, the kings of the countries were still very disciplined in such a major event as the gift of the crown.

Entering the venue, the first person to receive Qingji was the envoys of the Central Plains countries such as Jin, Qi, Wei, Lu, and Song.

Including the Yue Kingdom, a total of 15 envoys from 15 countries came to congratulate King Wu Qingji and presented valuable gifts!

Qingji captured the capital of Wu before, and did not immediately hold a ceremony to claim the king, but postponed it for two months, that is, he specially invited the envoys of the kingdom of heaven to come over to watch the ceremony, so as to publicize the current prestige of the state of Wu.

"Is the envoy of the State of Chu coming?"

Qingji asked.

Dazai Jizai, who was on the side, bowed down and said, "King, I haven't seen the figure of the Chu envoy yet." ”

Hearing this, Qingji couldn't help but squint his eyes, and he was quite puzzled in his heart!

What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Chu people?

Even the envoys of the Jin State were able to avoid hardships and dangers, and traveled thousands of miles to participate in the ceremony of celebrating the crown, why did the Chu people of the neighboring country not even see the envoys.

Not a single message?

Qingji's heart was very suspicious.

It stands to reason that Wu and Chu have already signed an alliance, and the gift of the crown of King Wu, the Chu people should send envoys to watch the ceremony and congratulate them no matter what!

Qingji didn't have time to think about it, so he restrained his inner thoughts and greeted the envoys of the countries who came to watch the ceremony with a smile.

Since the period of King Wu Shoumeng, Wu has begun to communicate frequently with the countries of the Central Plains, and has won and lost each other in the war with the Chu people, and has played the prestige of Wu!

Therefore, when Qingji faced these doctors of the nations, he was able to be calm and calm, smiling, and not losing the demeanor of a king.

"Jin envoy Mi Mu, see Wu Jun!"

Accompanied by Dazai Jiza, Keiji met with the envoys of various countries one by one.

I saw a middle-aged man who was more than eight feet tall, wearing a red and black official robe and a high crown, stepped forward and bowed to Qingji.

"King, this is Shibo, the magistrate of the Jin Kingdom."

Ji Za introduced Qingji on the side.

"It turned out to be Shibo, look up for a long time!"

Qingji greeted him.

This Shi Mimu can be regarded as a historical celebrity in the late Spring and Autumn Period!

In "Zuo Biography", there is a lot of pen and ink about Shimimu, even more than ordinary monarchs.

Shi Mi Mu, also known as Shi Jingbo, Shi Bo, Sima Mi Mou, the son of Shi Wenbo.

He is the governor of the Jin Kingdom, and he has developed a design plan for the city of Zhou!

It is worth mentioning that the magistrate of the Jin State, equivalent to the court lieutenant of the Wu State, is in charge of the prison and has a lot of power.

Although Shi Mimu held such an official position, his eloquence was very outstanding and he could speak well!

Shi Mi Mu is a rare person with noble virtue among the doctors of the Jin Kingdom.

In that year, the Jin State wanted to release the detained uncle Sun Ruo of the Lu State and sent Shi Mimu to act as a lobbyist.

The uncle and grandson were originally angry, and when they heard that the doctor of the Jin Kingdom was coming, they tried to murder the doctor of Jin!

As a result, Shi Mimu's words not only saved his life, but also eliminated the resentment of the Lu State against the Jin State!

It can be seen that sometimes the incorruptible tongue of a wise man can indeed defeat thousands of troops.

Now, the Jin State can send the official Mi Mu as an envoy to Wu to observe the ceremony, which shows that the alliance between Wu and Jin is still unbreakable.

Guy, whether it is the state of Wu or the state of Jin, has a common enemy!

Chu!

Therefore, in terms of affection and reason, Qingji should treat Shi Mimu with courtesy.

"Wu Jun, my minister really admires Wu Jun for a long time."

Shi Mimu smiled slightly, and said: "Wu Jun became famous at a young age, and his brave martial arts crown is unrivaled in the world, and now he expels the rebels, sets things right, inherits the unification in the year of the weak crown, and reigns in Wu and Jin, which will definitely be of great benefit!" ”

"The friendship of Wu and Jin is remembered by the widow and cannot be forgotten. Without the full support of the Jin Kingdom, how could the widow be where he is today? ”

"Wu Jun doesn't have to be humble. External forces are external forces after all, if Wu Jun is incompetent, how can he have today's crown gift? ”

Qingji was able to form a revenge army in the Wei Guo and set things right, which was indeed inseparable from the strong support of the Jin State.

Whether it is recruiting troops or training troops, Gayin Qingji needs a certain amount of grain and grass military resources, and it is with the support of the Jin State that the countries of the Central Plains can fund Qingji one after another, so that he can raise enough soldiers and horses to carry the weight!

For the nations, Qingji is a potential stock that should not be underestimated.

And the Jin State wants to continue to maintain the alliance with the Wu State, so that the Wu State and the Chu State will attack each other, so that they can reap the benefits!

The Emperor who killed the monarch and usurped the throne was obviously not a good type, so the Central Plains princes led by the Jin State were more optimistic about the brave and resourceful Qingji than the ambitious Lu Lu.

This is an extremely real problem!

From the perspective of modern people, this is a loss-making business for the countries of the Central Plains.

But if they can help Qingji to land in the Wu Kingdom, they will definitely be able to gain the favor of the Wu people, and they don't have to worry about the threat from the Wu Kingdom from now on!

"Wu Jun, there is something, I don't know if Wu Jun knows or not?"

"What?"

Shi Mimu suddenly stepped forward and whispered in Qingji's ear: "Earlier, my Jin State got a report that the Chu army in Yingdu was secretly assembling, and the grain and straw of the Chu State are now being transported to Shudi one after another, and the grain trucks are crowded with roads, and I am afraid that the Chu people have the heart to destroy Wu!" ”

"Really?"

Qingji couldn't help frowning.

Shi Mimu bowed and said, "Our ministers don't dare to hide Wu Jun. The tens of thousands of Chu troops who were originally assembled in Yingdu have disappeared, and I am afraid that they have all secretly entered Shudi! ”

"The widow knows."

Qingji still looks light and breezy on the surface, but in fact, he scolds in his heart.

Shudi is an area in the eastern part of the Chu State, bordering the Wu State!

In the early years, Wu and Chu surrounded Shu and fought fiercely, but the Wu army never won this territory.

If the Chu army invades Wu, it can march from many directions, Shudi is one of the directions, and the Chu army can also enter the territory of Wu without knowing it.

Gaine is separated by a big river (Yangtze River), if the Chu army marches from Shudi, the territory of Wu on the opposite side is a lofty mountain, the road is blocked, but it is very hidden!

The Chu army was even able to go through a continuous rapid march, drove straight in, and raided the capital of Wu, and the troops were under the city.

Of course, this is a very stupid strategy!

Because with this strategy, the Chu army's own non-combat attrition is very serious.

Therefore, if the Chu army invades Wu, the best way is still to take a boat division, from the river all the way to the east, break through the cities along the river such as Luzi, Tong, and Wei, and reach the capital of Wu!

This route is the route of Wu before Qingji.
