After the war, countries were busy collecting vested interests.

Shangcheng was destroyed, and the territory was divided.

At this juncture, the long-pending issue of the Marquis of Jinyang was resolved, to the surprise of the alliance countries;

Xia Guo actually sent the Marquis of Jinyang and his subordinates out of the country without mentioning any conditions.

In the palace of King Wuwei, King Xu Fan respectfully poured tea for his ancestor Xu Chang.

"Well, you don't have to do these mundane things, after the war, put your mind to state affairs. ”

Xu Chang waved his hand, but Xu Fan still poured the tea, returned to his seat after saluting, he was extremely respectful to this ancestor, if he didn't appear in time, he was afraid that he would have been a prisoner earlier, or the bones would have been gone.

"Do you know why the Lord of the Xia Kingdom let go of the Marquis of Jinyang unconditionally?"

glanced at his great-great-grandson, although he was not very old, he was still concerned about state affairs, and he was gratified, so he wanted to mention him, after all, he couldn't stay here for a long time.

In the future, he will have to run the country on his own.

"Listen to the teachings of our ancestors. ”

"I can't see the things here too clearly, but with my understanding of the lord of Xia Guo, he is definitely not a person who is willing to suffer, he must have the intention of doing this that ordinary people can't see, if you can't see through it now, it doesn't mean that you can't see through it in the future, when you come to see him in the spring, you can go with him, get closer, it must be a blessing for Wuwei Guo." ”

Xu Chang doesn't like to participate in political affairs, and he has no experience to pass on to his great-great-grandson, but he knows that Wuwei State is close to Xia State, and now he has the same hatred and hatred to deal with the invasion of Qin, but after the crisis, Xia State is strong, then Wuwei State is facing the crisis of being annexed by Xia State or destroyed by Qin State, and it is impossible to preserve it with his ability, so the only way to deal with this crisis is to form a good relationship with Xia State.

So he suggested that Xu Fan should be friendly with Zhang Xian, so that by his friendship with Zhang Xian, coupled with Xu Fan's sincerity, maybe Zhang Xian could preserve the existence of Wuwei Kingdom.

"Your virtuous ministers should also be more compassionate, with their sincere assistance, it is not impossible for Wuwei to regain its glory, and you must also be diligent in government and peace with the people, those who are good at business win, and those who are lazy will lose, remember to remember 、、、"

Xu Chang has no experience in governance, but he has rich life experience, and he told Xu Fan everything he could think of, and Xu Fan also benefited a lot.

Xu Fan also knew that Wuwei Kingdom was in danger, and if he wanted to keep the inheritance left by his ancestors, the only choice was to attach himself to the Xia Kingdom.

This is also a proposal put forward by Gao Jiu and Ma Shu.

This joint anti-Qin, Wuwei State bore the brunt of the loss, and the losses were huge, but the benefits obtained after the war were also very rich, except for the dead who could not be resurrected, and the material aspect was not a big loss.

"Xia Guo put forward the request that his navy enter and leave our waters freely, and I agreed unconditionally, and the lieutenant and the prime minister did not raise objections, but the ministers raised objections, in fact, this is understandable, after all, the armies of other countries enter and exit at will, and it is psychologically difficult to accept. ”

In fact, Xu Fan psychologically did not accept Xia Guo's proposal, but Xia Guo gave them all the benefits obtained after the war, and he couldn't open his mouth to refuse, but Xia Jun's sailors entered and exited the country at will, which was equivalent to not defending Xia Jun, and people wanted to have any crooked thoughts, and there was no way to deal with it.

"Didn't he also promise not to pose a threat to you and not to interfere in your state affairs? ”

Xu Chang thought for a moment;

"Actually, there is no harm to you in this way, you think, Xia Guo wants to deal with us, with the current national strength, we are not capable of fighting at all, why not do a favor on this, in addition, there is a Xia State Navy here, if there is a foreign enemy intrusion, I believe that if you come forward to ask for help, the Xia State Navy will not stand idly by." ”

This is also something that cannot be helped, who makes himself not have a strong military force, does not have a strong national strength, and does not want to be destroyed by the country, he has to endure humiliation and steal his life.

Fortunately, the Xia Kingdom does not seem to have the intention of destroying the Wuwei Kingdom, and its lord is not a barbaric person, a very rational person.

Wuwei accepted the request for free navigation of the Xia navy, but the Baling State and the Bashu Kingdom resisted.

And Zongye Guo had no intention of resisting at all, and asked Zhang Yu to send people to garrison Wuling City.

As for Su Shanguo and Su Liguo, although they have the heart to refuse, they are powerless to resist, and the Xia country's navy is dangling around them, but they have no way at all, although they are closest to the Xia country, their own navy is weaker than him.

However, Zhang Xian also has a request for Zhang Yu, don't go too far, especially for Su Liguo, don't force them to be anxious.

As for Poyang Lake, it is basically another base camp of Zhang Yu.

"The country of Bashu is too far away, and the gap between the rivers in the upper reaches of the Li River is too large, the rivers are narrow and the water is turbulent, I don't plan to go there often, but I am not in a hurry to deal with them, I only send some small boats to escort the caravan and check the terrain, but I want to teach him a lesson in Baling. ”

Zhang Yu said to Xu Maocai with a gloomy face.

"General Zhang, look here, this is Mengshui, from the fork of the two rivers to Shuimengcheng, a big river of three thousand miles, Baling Kingdom used to close this river, and now we have the right to free navigation, although Baling Kingdom resisted, but did not dare to really let us pass, since you want to teach him a lesson, then make up your mind from Mengshui. ”

Xu Maocai drew a curve on the map and offered advice to Zhang Yu.

This line divides the remaining land of Baling Kingdom in half, which is Mengshui.

This great river traverses the Baling Kingdom to the west of the Qin State's Shuimeng City.

It was also a golden waterway, but it was previously closed by the Baling Kingdom, allowing no merchant ships to pass through.

And Xu Maocai's intention is to open up this closed golden waterway.

Didn't you Baling Kingdom want to openly agree to the free navigation of the Xia State Navy on its domestic waterways, but secretly arranged many obstacles, then I will give you a ruthless blow and tear a hole in your own land.

Although it is not possible to really fight with the Baling Kingdom, it is still possible for a powerful naval army to open a river with many obstacles.

So Zhang Yu ordered the mobilization of nearly 100 medium-sized warships to sail directly into Mengshui.

Although a hundred Balingguo were unwilling, in the face of the butcher Zhang Yu, they had to swallow their anger in the end.

In this way, it took Zhang Yu less than a month to open the water trade route from Lijiang River to Shuimeng City.

Of course, the Xia State Navy still can't enter the territory of the Qin State, but Shuimeng City is now in the hands of Li Chaoyang, and the Marquis of Jinyang, who was let go by Zhang Xian, is also here, he was picked up by Li Chaoyang, and he really gave this credit to the Marquis of Jinyang.

Therefore, he became a confidant of the Marquis of Jinyang.

The appearance of the Xia State Navy really startled the Marquis of Jinyang, and Li Chaoyang came forward to contact the Xia State Navy Army, and then he knew the purpose of the Xia State Navy Army.

"Their intention is to trade 、、、"
