Chapter 233: Yue Guo begs to surrender
This is one of Yoon-chang's biggest concerns.
Including Huiji, the territory in the northern part of the Yue country is a relatively rich place, which has been developed by the Yue people for many years, and has become a relatively rich place.
If this is ceded out, Yue Guo is only a barren land in the south, how to turn the tables, how to forge ahead?
Could it be that the Yue State will forever become a vassal state of the Wu State, and eventually lose the country, and everyone will be lost?
What worries Yun Chang even more is that the heart of Qingji is not dead, and in case he sends troops to attack Yue a day later, how can he resist the Yue country, which is poor and weak, and survives?
The great priest Kou Luming immediately advised: "Great King, I will pay tribute to the country, and it is just an expedient measure to cut the land and seek peace. If you can paralyze Qingji in the future, after the Wu Kingdom relaxes, the king will return to the Yue Kingdom, and it is not impossible to work hard to avenge today's revenge! ”
"The king must know that the queen of Qingji, but the daughter of the king, is the princess of my Yue Kingdom!"
"With the help of Princess Ji Ko, I don't dare to embarrass the king too much if I want to come to Qingji, and one day I will be happy with Qingji, and I will have an incident under the rule of the Wu people, maybe Qingji will return the land to my Yue country, and I can pardon the king as soon as possible."
"Good!"
Yun Chang only then came back to his senses.
Truly!
He is Qingji's father-in-law, and his daughter Ji Ko is the queen of Wu!
With this relationship, Qingji will not be too embarrassed.
If the people of Yue Di create an incident, the Wu army in charge of suppression can't stay, and if Yun Chang is not a threat to him, Qing Ji may not return the land to Yue Guo.
Immediately, Yun Chang asked unwillingly: "Da Sikou, does the widow really want to take his wife and children and join Wu as a minister?" ”
"It has to be!"
Lu Ming said loudly: "The king, show weakness to the state of Wu, so that Qingji can rest assured, the king has to take his wife and children, and enter Wu as a minister." ”
"If Qingji confines the widow in Wudu, won't the widow be this remnant?"
"Great King, Shang Tang was imprisoned in Xiatai by Ji at the beginning, King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned in Jinli by King Zhou, Duke Wen of Jin fled to Bei Zhai, Duke Xiao Bai of Qi Huan fled to Ju State, and finally dominated the world."
"From this point of view, what can the king's slight grievances be?"
Hearing Lu Ming's bitter advice, Yun Chang finally bowed his head slightly and decided to cede land to Wu Guo.
……
Just when Qingji was about to dispatch troops to attack the camp of Huiji Mountain of the Vietnamese army, he heard a report from the guards, saying that it was Kou Luming, the chief secretary of the Yue Kingdom, who asked to see him.
For the meaning of Lu Ming, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
Summing up!
Qingji is determined to destroy Yue, so it is naturally impossible to agree to Yue's request for peace.
However, this did not prevent Qingji from meeting Lu Ming in the Yue Palace.
"Sun Wu, Wu Yuan."
"The minister is here!"
"The two of you immediately led an army of 15,000 men, prepared enough trebuchets, bed crossbows, ladders and other siege equipment to attack the Vietnamese army's camp. Before sunset, the widow expected to see the banner of our Wu army planted on the enemy camp! ”
"No!"
Sun Wu and Wu Zixu sang loudly, then turned around and went down to beat the drum and gather troops.
It has been very rare to meet with the enemy's envoys and attack the enemy camp at the same time.
However, this just declares that Qingji will never negotiate peace with the Yue country!
"Xuan, the envoys of the Yue Kingdom have come to see you—"
With the announcement of the guard, the deer who had been waiting outside the main hall for a long time entered the main hall with his head bowed, bowed, and lowered his eyebrows.
This was originally a place that Lu Ming was very familiar with, and it was the main hall of the Yue Kingdom.
But at this moment, in Lu Ming's eyes, it seems so strange!
Because standing on top of this hall are all the monarchs and ministers of the Wu Kingdom.
This made Lu Ming sad and angry, how could he not feel a sense of powerlessness?
"Foreign minister Lu Ming, see King Wu! Wan Wan of King Wu! ”
Lu Ming, who was standing under the majestic platform, slowly lowered his head and bowed to Qingji.
"You don't have to be polite."
Qingji helped him for a while, then smiled slightly, and said: "Luzi, the king of Yue sent you as an envoy to meet the widow, and I want to come to discuss peace?" ”
"Yes!"
Lu Ming said angrily: "King Wu, Wu and Yue are neighbors, the two countries are separated by water, and they are also married countries, why do they turn against each other, and they are in the place where they meet each other today?" ”
"The king of Yue has no way, the more people are poor, the Li Shu of the Yue country is in dire straits, and the widow is ordered by heaven to cross the country, and raise troops to save the Li Shu of the Yue country."
Qingji said such a high-sounding reason.
In fact, the real reason is clear to those who have insight.
In the world of great contention, the strong are strong, and the weak are dead!
The powerful Wu State annexed the Yue State, and the weak eat the strong, why not?
Lu Ming knew it well in his heart, but he couldn't break it, so he said loudly: "King Wu, the matter has come to this point, my king also asks King Wu to stop the army and make an alliance with my Yue country!" ”
"For this reason, our king is willing to pay tribute to Wu in accordance with the conditions previously offered by King Wu, and cede half of the land of Yue Kingdom, including Huiji City!"
"Hahahaha! Joke! ”
Before Qingji could speak, Shi Fan Li, who was standing on the side of the Majesty's platform, stood up, sneered at Lu Ming, and said: "Luzi, what you said, isn't it a big joke in the world? ”
"Not to mention the fact that the ministers paid tribute, ceding half of the land of the Yue Kingdom, including the city of Huiji, was indeed the condition of our king's previous dismissal. However, at this time, at that time! ”
"Huiji City has now been captured by my Wu army, why do you need to cede the country? As for the rest of the land, with the powerful troops of my Wu division, it is invincible to attack the city and pull out the fortress! ”
"There is no need for Ruyue to cede the country, my Wu army will take it upon itself!"
As soon as he heard this, Lu Ming hated in his heart.
Fan Li's words sounded very harsh in Luming.
However, this is indeed an objective fact.
Qingji chuckled and said, "Luzi, what Fan Shaobo said is not unreasonable. In this case, why didn't Luzi go back and persuade King Yue to take off his armor and surrender? The widow will ensure that he will not lose the title of the king, glory and wealth, and the temple sacrifice everything is as before. ”
Surrender?
The corners of Lu Ming's mouth twitched.
What he wants to do now is indeed similar to surrender, but it does not belong to surrender, at most it is to show favor and show weakness!
"King Wu, I can't hide it, in addition to being willing to cede the land of the city and call him a minister every year, I am willing to take my wife and children to enter Wu as a minister for three years and serve the king of Wu!"
As soon as they heard this, the generals of Wu State in the main hall couldn't help but be in an uproar.
Is this a peace negotiation?
It's clearly begging and begging!
They never expected that Yue Wang Yunchang would be able to put his posture so low.
And hearing Lu Ming's condition, Qingji couldn't help frowning.
Qing Ji, who is familiar with history, how can he not know the story of the popular in later generations, the story of King Goujian lying on his back and tasting courage?
Historically, in the battle of Fujiao between Wu and Yue, Fucha defeated Gou Jian and successfully took revenge, but in the end, he raised a tiger and did not listen to his advice, so that Gou Jian, who was good at forbearance, took his wife and children and entered Wu as a minister.
Gou Jian even tasted feces for his sick husband like a slave......
