"The king, the minister thinks that you can't rashly annex the Yun Kingdom."

Zhisu Neishi Fan Li slowly stood up and said to Qingji on the top of His Majesty's platform: "Yundi, now as the key point of Wu and Qin, if my Wu State annexes Yun State without authorization, it may make Wu and Qin make enemies ......."

"Not to mention whether the Qin people will be suspicious, the western trade route opened up by my Wu Guoshi - the Silk Road, the only way to pass through is Qin."

"If the alliance between Wu and Qin breaks down and the two countries are at loggerheads, I am afraid that the Qin people will lock the choke point, strictly prohibit the business travel of our Wu State to the west, and prohibit foreign trade ......"

Hearing this, Qingji just waved his hand and said, "The widow doesn't care. ”

"The Silk Road, in the final analysis, was only opened up by a few people to let the people of the world open their eyes to the world. With the wealth of my Wu country now, I don't have to care about these three melons and two dates! ”

"Furthermore, once the Qin people take the initiative to cut off the choke point of the Silk Road, it will be the Qin State that will lose the most."

Qingji, this is not alarmist.

In fact, all kinds of goods such as paper, tea, salt, silk, and weapons of the Wu Kingdom were very popular and sought after in the world.

Wu Guo is no longer worried that there is no market for his goods, and he has already made a lot of money.

As for trade with the West, the money obtained through the Silk Road was already dispensable for Wu.

Why did Qingji assert that once the Qin people cut off the Silk Road and forbade Wu from trading with the West, it would be the Qin State that would lose the most?

Because, the Qin State was located in the west, the land was barren, and although the people were strong, they lacked commercial prosperity.

Whether it is the handicraft industry, or other walks of life, Qin Guo Mo said that it is Wu State, I am afraid that it is a year's financial income, and even medium-sized countries such as Song State, Wei State, and Zheng State cannot be compared.

In the final analysis, this is all caused by the lack of business acumen of the Qin people.

The Qin people are strong and can act as an excellent source of soldiers, but let them go to business and trade, in the absence of much manufacturing base, it is really too difficult for the Qin people.

The Silk Road opened up by the Wu State was actually a lot cheaper for the Qin people.

The tariffs collected every year alone are an astronomical amount for the finances of the Qin State!

Under such circumstances, how could the Qin people dare to provoke Wu State easily?

How dare the Qin people cut off the Silk Road Economic Belt?

Is it necessary to restore the Qin State to the standard of living of self-production and self-consumption and barely self-sufficiency in the past?

Uncle Qin is willing, I'm afraid that the Qin people will not be happy.

"King Mingjian!"

Hearing Qingji's words, Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and other ministers couldn't help but praise each other.

Even Fan Li, who is the history of Su Nei, can't help but light up in his eyes.

Until now, Fan Li finally wanted to open up the Silk Road before Qingji.

Let the Chinese countries open their eyes to the world?

That is indeed the main purpose.

However, Wu could also use the Silk Road to exercise economic control over Qin.

Although it cannot be called real "control", the high profits brought by the Silk Road to the Qin people every year are enough to make the Qin State dare not easily tear up the alliance with the Wu State......

On the contrary, the Qin people had to maintain good relations with Wu in order to avoid Wu from prohibiting trade with Qin and carrying out an economic blockade!

"I don't know how the king plans to destroy Yun?"

Sun Wu asked curiously.

"Yun State, although the territory is not small, but it is vast and sparsely populated, with the current strength of our Wu army, it can be destroyed with a snap of a finger, but it is ......"

Qingji chuckled and said, "If you can exchange the smallest price for the biggest victory, is it no different?" ”

"Yun people are now offering the widow a table of ministers, or it may be an opportunity to induce Yun Jun to ally with the widow, and then go down with one drum to destroy the Yun country!"

“……”

In this way, isn't it too unmartial arts?

Fortunately, Yun State is only a Fang State in the south, and it turns out that Chu is a vassal state, even if Wu State no longer talks about martial arts and destroys Yun State in one fell swoop, who dares to talk more?

The world has long been ruined, and the state of Wu is also regarded as a barbarian by the countries of the Central Plains, and Qingji has long stopped caring about the false name of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

"In addition, Bo Yu, you sent an envoy to the Qin State on behalf of the widow and told the Qin people that the widow sincerely invited Uncle Qin to meet in Shaoxi Mountain."

"No!"

Bo Yan immediately agreed.

Although Wu and Qin had already made an alliance eight years ago and exchanged ideas, it was a pity that the kings of the two countries had never met.

In order to strengthen the alliance with the Qin people, Qingji planned to take this opportunity to have an alliance with Qin Bo, so as to deal with the old overlord Jin State.

……

The next day, Qingji officially raised 30,000 troops from Yingdu and marched north to Yundi on the northwest border.

Yun Gong Douxin heard the news and hurriedly came to meet with Qingji.

Qingji almost effortlessly destroyed the Yun Kingdom!

Why?

Because Dou Xin is a person who knows the times.

In the original history, King Xiong Zhen of Chu Zhao and his party fled to the Yun Kingdom.

Yun Gong is Xin, his younger brother Youhuai and Nest, Dou Huai wants to kill King Zhao and wants to avenge his father, but Dou Xin categorically stops him.

Xin Hechao escorted King Zhao and his entourage to Suiguo......

Treating the enemy who killed his father is still like this, where does Dou Xin have the courage to dare to compete with the notorious Wu Jun?

Moreover, it turned out that Yun was nominally a vassal state of Chu, but in fact it was about the same as a county of Wu, with a vast area and sparsely populated populations......

The time entered the eighteenth year of King Qingji of Wu, that is, in 496 BC, the fifth month of the lunar calendar.

Qingji and Qin Bo had an alliance in Shaoxi Mountain.

Compared with Qin Bo, who traveled day and night and came non-stop, Qingji came to Shaoxi Mountain early to survey the terrain.

Far away from Qincheng, thousands of miles away, out of Shangzhou under the chaotic mountains.

Close the door and don't lock the cold stream, and send off guests all night!

Standing on a mountain in Shaoxi Mountain, Qingji and others climbed high and looked into the distance, taking in all the beautiful mountains and rivers.

Legend has it that Yu Hualong, the general of Emperor Xin (King Yin), sent Sanziguang to garrison Wuguan, and built a stone bridge between the ravines under Shaoxi Mountain in the northeast of the city, so it was named "Yuhua Bridge", commonly known as the big stone bridge.

That big stone bridge, Qingji can still be seen now.

"Second and third sons, do you know where we are under our feet?"

Qingji's heart was surging for a while, and he looked at Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Bo Yu and other ministers behind him and asked with interest.

Gongzi Hong, who was basically healed from his injuries, heard this, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "Father, this place is Shaoxi Mountain. ”

"Danshui flows from the southeast of Shangmi, at least Xi Mountain, the mountain road is dangerous, and it was originally from Chu to Qin."

"Not bad."

Qingji bowed slightly, and glanced at Gongzihong appreciatively.

It seems that Gongzihong has done his homework and studied the topography of this land of business.

"Hong'er, do you know why Shaoxi Mountain got its name?"

"Erchen has heard a little."

Gongzihong replied: "It is said that when Zhou Tianzi divided the world, he once sealed a small country - Xi Guo, and its fief was in Shaoxi Mountain, because its place name Shaoxi Mountain, so he took 'Xi' as the name of the country. ”
