Chapter 831: Yaoyao of Peach (Part 1)

ps: I have to take the bus for a day today, there is only one chapter, and there will be two updates tomorrow.

...

"The widow is willing to lead the entire nation to join the king's army as his concubine, and listen to the dispatch..."

Wen Zhong bowed and bowed to the ground, his forehead pressed against the ground.

However, after reaching the bottom line in the pleasant-sounding description, which greatly satisfied Wu Guofuchai's desire for conquest, Wen Zhong suddenly changed the topic and said: "If the king thinks that the fault of Yue Guo is unforgivable, he does not agree with the widow monarch. Please be pacified, the Yue people would rather burn down the ancestral temple, bind their wives and daughters, and sink into the river together with gold and jade jewelry, rather than let the Wu people get a cent! Then the widow lord led the only 5,000 people to fight the Wu state to the death. At that time One person is sure to be worth two people. When ten thousand people die, jewelry and property will inevitably be lost. Wouldn’t this hurt the things that Wu people like? They are willing to continue fighting for several months and drive out the Yue people. , or do not make any effort to get the country of Yue, and ask the king to measure, which is more beneficial to the kingdom of Wu?"

Wen Zhong repeated Gou Jian's words, and walked forward on his knees again, presenting the sword of pure Jun to Zhuan crucian carp, and Zhuan crucian carp handed it over to King Wu Fuchai.

However, as soon as Chunjun sword started, Wu Wangfucha's complexion changed. He is also a sword lover. He knows that this is a peerless sword, no less than the "Tai A" of Chu State, and the legend has been acquired by Zhao Wuxi. the "governor". So he put his eyes on Chunjun and couldn't take it away, holding it in his hands and tsk tsk in surprise, his expression even more hesitant than the last time.

Fu Chai thought about Wen Zhong's words, and it was true that he was going south this time, not only for the sake of his father's hatred, but also for the Wu State to dominate the south again. Now the Yue Kingdom has voluntarily expressed its surrender and is willing to be the concubine of the Wu Kingdom, which is equivalent to admitting the Wu Kingdom's hegemony. The next step is to see how Wu State handles it. In the choice of destroying Yue and Cun Yue, if Yue State is preserved, you can get good things such as gold, jade and women. These things of Yue Earth are fully calculated, which is enough to compensate Wu State for this battle. economic expenses. Politically, the Yue State will then exist as a vassal of the Wu State and become a member of the Wu State's feudal system.

Wu Wangfuchai wanted to promise it, but at this moment, a sharp scolding sounded, like a blow to the head, to wake him up!

"No!"

...

The speaker was seven feet tall, with white hair like snow, but his face was determined.

It was Wu Zixu, a great traveller from Wu State. This tall Chu man had a crazy obsession with revenge. Back then, he wanted to avenge his family, but this time he wanted to avenge the king.

In the face of Fuchai's hesitation, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there used to be Houyi and Hancu to destroy the emperor Xia. The wife of the emperor was pregnant, and she fled to Youyuan to give birth to Shaokang, Shaokang Changchang. The eldest empress became the official of Muzheng in the country of Yu Yu. The family of Kuo wanted to kill Shaokang, Shaokang fled to the state of Youyu, and the family of Yu missed Xia's kindness, so she married the two daughters to Shaokang and named him Lunyi. At that time, Shaokang only had a land area of ​​ten miles and only five hundred subordinates. However, after Shaokang gathered the remnants of Xia and rectified the official system, he sent people into the You Guo clan, and finally eliminated the You Guo clan and restored Xia Yu's performance. At the time of sacrifice, Xiazu was matched with the Emperor of Heaven, and all the relics of the Xia Dynasty were recovered as before."

Fu Chai frowned, "What does Da Xingren mean by this?" As he grew longer, his relationship with Wu Zixu was not as close as before.

Wu Zixu said: "Now the state of Wu is not as powerful as the Kuo clan, and Goujian's strength is greater than that of Shaokang. Now, instead of taking this opportunity to completely destroy the power of the Yue Kingdom, we must forgive them, not to make trouble for the future! And Goujian As a man who can be tough and endure hardships, if I don’t eliminate him now, I’m only afraid that I won’t regret it in the future.”

Wu Zixu's remarks almost swept away Goujian and Wenzhong's rhetoric of surrender, and Wenzhong was horrified, and his fear of Wu Zixu was further increased. His eyes quietly looked at Bo Xi, the fat man of Wu country. The reason why he was able to see King Wu again was because of his connection. It seems that Bo Xi was very useful among the eight beauties from Vietnam. .

Bo Xi's ancestor was from Jin, and ancestor Bo Zong framed and persecuted for Jin Qing's "three but". Later, Bo's family was attacked and killed by Yin Zichang, the commander of the Chu state, and Bo Xi fled to Wu again and was recommended by Wu Zixu, who had the same illness. up to the throne.

When he first came to Wu State, he was desperate in a foreign country, and his family revenge was not avenged. It is impossible to talk about how much greed he had in his heart, or how to rely on the power of Wu State to attack Chu, with the humiliation of the death of his father and the annihilation of his family. Therefore, Wu Zixu is not only respectful and obedient, but also helps each other and advises him. He tries his best to train Master Wu day and night, and his cooperation is very tacit.

However, after Master Wu entered Ying, Bo Xi's mentality changed. Now that the grudges in his heart were repaid, his attention began to shift to power, beauty, and wealth. At this moment, Bo Xi is no longer the regular doctor who was determined to take revenge and was diligent in state affairs. He was appointed to Dazai and became the only "chief of all officials" of Wu Zixu. He is long-sleeved and good at dancing in the courtroom, and he is quite arrogant and lacks scheming Wu Wangfuchai. The only thing that cannot satisfy him is the lack of wealth in Wu and his covetousness for young and beautiful women.

Therefore, Wen Zhong brought eight beauties along with twenty pairs of white jade and one hundred gold beads to visit him. In the middle of Bo Xi's arms, Bo Xi's eagle-like greedy eyes suddenly filled with obsession and lustful joy.

Moreover, the Yue people also promised: "If Dazai can let the King of Wu pardon the sins of the Yue country, it will be more beautiful to offer it!"

At this moment, seeing that King Wu intends to save Yue, Wu Zixu insists on destroying Yue, and the two sides are at a stalemate. Since Bo Xi has been bribed by Yue, he will naturally stand up and speak for it.

"Your Majesty, Wu Xiang..." Bo Xi's small eyes were about to sink into the fat on his face, and he stood between the two in a soft voice, looking like a reconciler.

But what he said was completely biased towards the people of Yue: "I heard that those who conquered the country in ancient times just obeyed. Now that I have obeyed, what else can I ask for?"

...

Wu Zixu was startled, and stared at Bo Xi with incredible eyes. Just like the song "Song on the River" sings 'sympathize with each other and save each other with the same worries', he and Bo Xi have hatred against the state of Chu, just like frightened birds, chasing and gathering together, who doesn't love whoever is near, Instead of being sad about it? What's more, this old Chu country used to be obedient to him, and his work was extremely reliable, so Wu Zixu never suspected that he was afraid of Bo Xi, how could he be so confused today!

He couldn't help thinking of what the doctor of Wu State was told to him when Bo Xi first entered Wu.

"Do you think that Bo Xi can be trusted? I'm afraid that you can only see the outside, but not the inside. I think that Bo Xi is a man, eagle-eyed, greedy by nature, specializing in merit and killing. If you reuse him, I am afraid that you will be punished in the future. Tired!"

At that time, Wu Zixu didn't believe it, so he still recommended Bo Xi to Wu Wang Helu, but today, he is already alert...

Immediately, Wen Zhong was asked to wait outside the tent, and inside the tent, the first and second ministers of Wu State began to have a huge dispute over the existence and death!

"The State of Wu and the State of Yue are countries where the enemy is at war with each other. Wu and Yue are surrounded by three rivers, and people have nowhere to move. Therefore, in this corner of the land, there is Wu, but there is no Yue, and there is Yue, there is no Wu! This is the situation of heaven and earth. , there is no way to make it easier! The servants have heard that people who live on land are accustomed to living on land, and people who live on water are accustomed to living on water. Even if the state of Wu conquers the dry country in the northern Central Plains, it cannot be defeated. If you live in the land for a long time, you cannot ride the horses and chariots. Only the country of Yue has a similar language and customs with the land of Wu, and if the state of Wu attacks and conquers it, they can occupy the land, and the people can take the boat across the rivers and rivers. The great benefit of destroying Yue, whether in terms of hatred or interest, the monarch of Yue will be destroyed! The opportunity must not be lost, it will never come again, and it will be too late to regret it!"

Wu Zixu is worthy of being a big man, and he is very good at analyzing the pros and cons.

But his understanding of Fuchai is still not as good as that of Bo Xi.

"Your Majesty, although the Daxing people say that destroying the more is beneficial, but in this case, even if the country of Yue is destroyed, what will the kingdom of Wu gain? In this case, no one will pay for the cost of this Vietnam operation.”

Fu Chai's eyes moved back and forth on Wu Zixu and Bo Xi, and in the end he was even more moved by Bo Xi's words.

Now the King of Yue, Goujian, is willing to bow his head and become a minister, and the treasures of beautiful women can be taken at will, and the hegemony of Wu State has been shrouded in this ancient Yue land. Retaining the establishment of Yue State and letting them manage the scattered Yue tribes on their behalf will reduce the number of Wu State. After all the troubles of directly ruling the Kuaiji area, as for the father's hatred? Hey, the direct murderer Ling Gufu has already been captured and killed by Fuchai, and the national revenge, in the process of ravaging the capital of the Yue people, hasn't it been reported?

If you insist on destroying Yue, as Wu Zixu said, you will force the other party to a situation where there is no way out and you have to fight the Wu people desperately. Once the country of Yue is in a predicament outside the city, this is not good news for the country of Wu, who is about to usher in the rainy season.

What's more, if the thousands of remnants of the Yue people were really stuck in the Kuaiji Mountains and ran eastward to the Waiyue area to the east of the Juyu Mountain during the rainy season, then the war between Wu and Yue would be endless, because there Mountain forest island vertical and horizontal. Although it can't control the overall situation, the Yue people, who are all connected by water and land, are still elusive, and it is enough for Wu Guo to cope with it for a while.

The more mountains and islands, the more difficult it is to destroy, but Fuchai does not want to continue to focus on this place!

Not to mention that Chu State, the great enemy in the west, has reconquered the State of Cai and pushed the front line back to the Huai Rui area.

In addition, there is another thing that makes Fuchai, who is in the southern country, often looking north, feeling uneasy.

"Jin State Zhao Qing will marry his sister..." This news was talked about with great interest, and Zhao Wuxi became synonymous with Qi Xianggong's prostitution of his sister Wen Jiang and Qi Huan's aunt and sister who did not marry. .

However, Zongbo of Zhao also gave reasons, trying to prove to the world that Ji Ying, the eldest daughter of Zhao, is the child-bred daughter-in-law of Zhao.

Most people didn't believe this news, but it caused a huge shock in Xu Di in the north of Wu State. As the land newly conquered by Wu State 20 years ago, the nobles of Xu Di have been Huaxia for a long time. They were conquered by Wu State, and they broke off with Wu people. Delusions of re-independence.

Now that the Zhao clan dominates the north, ordering Jin, Lu, Song, and Sishang lords to depend on him, and even Qi is afraid of him. Zhao Qing married the exiled daughter of Xu. hope! ?

Therefore, since the beginning of summer, Xu Di seems to be unstable, and Fuchai is also worried that he will not be able to attack Kuaiji Mountain here for a long time, which will lead to Chu attacking Huainan, and Zhao slightly Huaibei. Lianghuai is the northern barrier of Wu State, and it is also a place with denser population and more advanced culture and agriculture. In the eyes of Fuchai, it is much more important than Yuedi, which is full of swampy mountains and forests and has yet to be developed for hundreds of years.

On one side is Yueque with little meat, and on the other side are plump and plump Chen, Cai, Song, Lu, Fuchai seems to see Zhongyuan waving to him...

On the one hand, Wu Zixu, who wanted to be above himself many times, and when he shouted loudly, almost sprayed the spit on his face, thinking that by virtue of his achievements in establishing the crown prince, he had to point fingers at his own determination; Servant-like uncle. As a arrogant and assertive new monarch, he will naturally prefer the latter...

So Fuchai got up and put away the Chunjun sword, whether to save the Yue or destroy the Yue, he has already made a decision!

...

In the summer and June, the peaches and plums in the northern country are about to ripen, and they are everywhere on the branches.

Sitting under a big peach tree full of blue peach trees outside a simple palace just built in Yecheng, Zhao Wuxi put away the letters sent from the south.

"Fu Chai finally let go of Gou Jian..."

Since ancient times, all enemies have been CP. Compared with the pair of Zhao Xiangzi and Zhiyao, the story of King Wu Fucha and King Goujian of Yue is more tortuous and legendary, not to mention the fighting skills of countless counselors and wise men, and the displacement of Wu Wa and Yue Nv.

Zhao Wuxi has discovered that he has a great influence on the clutches and reunions of the northern princes. Now the history of the Central Plains countries has changed beyond recognition, but the influence on the southern Chu, Wu, and Yue is less. Continue on the trajectory of history.

Wu Guo broke through Yue Duji, trapped Goujian in Kuaiji Mountain, Goujian sent literary styles to beg for peace, Fu Chai did not listen to Wu Zixu's plan, but listened to Dazai Xi's words, and finally ended the war with Yue Guo. After the two countries signed a peace covenant, Wu Guo Withdraw troops back home.

Judging from the letter sent by Xing Ao, Goujian, the king of Yue, will go to the king to claim the title of monarch. As the emperor of Wu, he will keep the land south of Kuaiji, and the north will be managed by the state of Wu. The Yue Kingdom also had to donate children, jade, silk, pearls, copper and tin, and even Gou Jian had to bring his wife to the Wu Palace to serve the husband and see the aftermath.

"Take your paycheck and try your best to report to Wu in ten years?" Zhao Wuxi showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. He could roughly guess Goujian's future, but he didn't know if the people who were sent to Yueguo could persuade Wen Zhong and Fan Li to leave Yueguo. This broken ship, by the way, sends some signals to Goujian. Zhao Yue can secretly conspire with Wu's signal. This long-term line is enough for ten years later.

But compared to this, another news made him even more excited: Xing Ao's letter also said that Wu Zixu, a big businessman, was furious over the matter of King Wu's cunning, saying, "Ten years of life and reunion, and ten years of lessons, twenty years away. , Wu Qiwei marsh almost'!

"It's really terrifying, as if I saw the future with my own eyes, which coincides with the prediction of Shimo of Jin..."

If it is said that Zhao Wuxi is afraid of who in the south, I am afraid that it is Wu Zixu and Sun Wu. These are the two pillars of the Wu state, supporting the hegemony of the two generations of Wu kings.

Now, however, both pillars are crumbling!

According to Xing Ao, Wu Zixu requested to retire because of this matter, but Wu Wangfuchai did not stop him. He returned to the fief on the edge of the five lakes and lived in seclusion. He must have a lot of resentment in his heart. And Sun Wu also retired with Wu Zixu because King Wu did not implement his strategy of "going south and destroying Vietnam". Now he lives in Wu's mansion and concentrates on writing books. He was replaced by Dazai Bo Xi, who became the chief minister of Wu State. This man was Xing Ao's uncle. He was capable, but he was also extremely greedy. Of course you can too.

Of course, the real man at the helm of the state of Wu is the headstrong Wu Wangfuchai...

It's just that ~lightnovelpub.net~ in Fuchai's self-perception is extremely powerful, enough to go west to the north to compete with Jin and Chu for hegemony, but in Zhao Wuxi's eyes, it is already riddled with holes.

"If Wu Zixu and Sun Wu are lost, then the state of Wu will not be afraid..." I just don't know if there is a chance to earn these two great powers. For Wu Zixu, Zhao Wuxi is not sure, but Sun Wu seems to be able to let Xing Ao Give it a try. Although Xing Ao's current situation is not very good, the honeymoon period of Jin and Wu has already ended, and Wu Guo has a vague conflict with Zhao in Xudi, Dongyi, Tan country and other places...

However, these matters are left to the ministers in charge of spying and lobbying. Zhao Wuxi now has more important things to do. He will drive to Wen County and pick up his bride.

"Recipe, Shining."

"When the son returns home, it is suitable for his family."

At the end of June, with the end of Zhao Yang's three-year filial piety, as the peaches on the tree turned from green to red, and the branches were covered with branches, a wedding that caused great controversy all over the world was held in the Zhao Palace where the new foundation stone was laid in Yecheng... …

The bride calls her "Xu Ying" to the outside world, but her name is precisely "Yao"! (To be continued.)
