"Shenzi, you don't have to be nervous."

Qingji chuckled and said, "The widow will not restrict the Chu State from forging weapons and armor and training soldiers and horses. ”

"How the State of Chu reorganizes its armament for war is the matter of the State of Chu itself, and the widow will not ask about it."

Qing Ji is so generous?

Of course!

Although Chu is a vassal state of Wu, it is relatively special.

For example, Cai State, Xu State, Zhong Wu State and other countries all paid tribute to Wu State, and Wu troops were stationed on the edge of their capitals in case of accidents.

In the court, there are also many ministers and doctors sent by Wu State, and the ruling ministers are all Wu people, and even the soldiers and horses of their country are trained by the generals of Wu State.

Let me ask, what is the difference between such a vassal state and the counties under the rule of Wu?

And the state of Chu is different.

The state of Chu only paid tribute to the state of Wu, and was not restricted by all aspects.

The reason why the Chu people secretly trained soldiers and horses and built weapons was just to hide from the sky and the sea, and when Wu Guo was not paying attention, he would send a swift blow.

However, Qingji has such a powerful intelligence agency as Heibing Platform, and he knows everything about Chu State's every move.

You can definitely get a glimpse of it!

The matter of Chu State's secret soldiers, Qingji has long known about it.

Now he told Shen Baoxu that he was just knocking on the state of Chu.

"Shenzi, the widow has also heard that the merchants of the Chu State bought grain and rice at a high price in my Wu land, I don't know if it's true?"

Qing Ji asked surgingly.

"This ...... Great King, such things are purely Shang Jia's own actions, and have nothing to do with the Chu State. ”

Shen Baoxu replied tremblingly.

Nothing to do with the state of Chu?

Qingji won't believe it.

After all, how could such a large-scale action of the merchants of the Chu State be without the support of the state?

Qingji is not afraid of a trade war between his own Wu State and Chu State.

With the current national strength of Wu and Chu, the state of Chu will undoubtedly be defeated, but Qingji can't afford to consume too much of its own financial resources for this.

"Stop there!"

Qingji waved his hand and said, "The widow doesn't like businessmen to disrupt the market. ”

"If Duke Chu can't control the merchants of his country, the widow will discipline him for him!"

"No!"

Shen Baoxu hurriedly lowered his head and said: "The king, the minister must convey the Duke of Chu on behalf of the king!" ”

This time, Chu Guo gave generous gifts, beautiful women, and craftsmen, which really made Qingji suspicious.

How is it so similar to the nine techniques of cutting Wu proposed by Xiang Gou Jian in history?

If there is a will, it will be done, and the one hundred and two Qin passes will eventually belong to Chu.

Hard-working people, the sky is not bearable, lying on the salary to taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu!

In history, a small Yue country was able to swallow Wu State, and then became a great power dominating the southeast, and played a key role in cutting down Wu Jiushu.

This is very clear as the Qing Ji of the traverser.

Don't say that it is Wu Wangfu, if you are someone else, you may not be able to stand this ruthless Wu Jiushu.

However, the State of Wu at this time is no longer comparable to the State of Wu in history.

The state of Wu has become a behemoth in the true sense of the word.

Southern Overlord!

Now among the kingdoms of the heavens, the only one who can compete with the old overlord Jin Guo is Wu Guo.

Of course, this does not mean that the state of Wu will not be destroyed by the state of Chu.

If Qingji is as reckless as Wu Wangfu in history, he is so happy with his achievements, and he does not care about the people's strength, and is pro-villain and far from the virtuous ministers, he will inevitably end up ruining the country and the family!

However, the lessons of the previous car are the teachers of the rear cars.

How could Qingji not learn the lessons of his predecessors?

Let Wu dominate the south, Qingji has already done it.

It's just that this is not Qingji's ultimate ambition.

In general, in a word-

The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!

For the tribute offered by the Chu State this time, whether it is a beauty or a craftsman, Qingji is to accept it in full.

After all, this is a cheap advantage, don't be in vain!

……

Night falls.

In the mansion of Tingwei Bo Tuo, a special guest came - Shen Baoxu.

Shen Baoxu Mao then recommended himself and planned to stay in Wu and serve Qingji, so he was canonized as a guest secretary and enjoyed the treatment of a doctor.

Regarding Shen Baoxu's inner thoughts, Qingji naturally knows it.

However, it's not good to break.

Shen Baoxu, a loyal minister of the Chu State, would rather not give in, it was impossible to surrender to Qingji, and he really changed his course and defected to the Wu State.

However, Shen Baoxu is very famous and respectable, and since he has the heart to be a career in Wu State, Qingji is not easy to refuse.

At this time, Shen Baoxu came to visit Bo Biao.

After saluting each other in the study room, the two sat down opposite each other.

"I don't know why Shenzi is here?"

Bo asked curiously.

"Take the liberty of bothering, and please don't blame Tingwei."

"Where, where. Shenzi is a great sage who is famous all over the world, even the king is very virtuous, and it is an honor for Shenzi to visit him! ”

After greeting Bo Xu for a while, Shen Baoxu finally said the purpose of his trip.

Shen Baoxu clapped his hands, and two attendants carried a wooden box into the library.

After the entourage retreated, Shen Baoxu opened the lid and exposed the horseshoe gold inside the wooden box.

Looking at the golden color, Bo Yan couldn't help but have two eyes shining, his eyes were full of greedy green light, and he hated to keep it for himself.

Shen Baoxu glanced at it, and when he saw Bo Yu's coveted appearance, he just chuckled lightly and said, "Tingwei, this is a gift that the Duke of Chu intends to give you, and please accept Tingwei with a smile." ”

"It's not right, it's not right!"

Bo Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Shenzi, the so-called merit is not punished." A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way! ”

"How can my uncle accept a gift from Duke Chu for no reason? It doesn't agree with reason, it doesn't agree with reason. ”

Bo Yan obviously has some scruples.

Seeing this, Shen Baoxu just shook his head and said, "Ting Wei's words are wrong. Although Duke Chu is far away in Yingdu, he has already heard of your name! ”

"Wu Guo can be as strong as it is today, Tingwei, you can say that you have contributed a lot."

"When the Duke of Chu heard of the sage of Tingwei, he hated to have a relationship with Tingwei, so what could he do...... Alas! ”

Shen Baoxu sighed and said: "The Duke of Chu often lamented that the first king was deaf, and he was useless because of Wu Hao and Ling Zun's virtuous ministers, so that the two of them were persecuted by the traitor and villain Fei Wuji, and their families were ruined. ”

"Tingwei, you and Wu Zixu are in exile in Wu State...... This is really, embarrassing. ”

"If it weren't for Fei Wuji's minister, maybe Tingwei and Wu Zixu would still be serving in the Chu State, and the Chu State would definitely not have fallen to the point it is today."

Hearing this, Bo Ba's face was a little strange.

According to Shen Baoxu, this guy is here to catch up with himself.

Truly!

At that time, the king of Chuping was deaf, pro-villain and far virtuous, listened to Fei Wuji's slander, took Meng Ying as a concubine, drove away the prince Jian, and persecuted Bo Biao and Wu Zixu's father, causing them to flee to Wu State......

It can be said that the state of Chu has fallen to such a field today, and King Chuping has to bear the main responsibility.

However, this is all in the past, and now Bo Yu and Wu Zixu have taken revenge, and they have already settled their own hearts.
