Chapter 046: Preparing for Battle


After Qingji settled down in Yayuan, he took a shower first, returned to his room refreshed, and thought carefully about his future plans.

After thinking about it for so many days, he felt more and more that it was very necessary to get in touch with Lu State, and if he wanted to go back to Wu State, the bridgehead of Lu State was his best choice.

Although Wei Guo is good, according to the speed of traffic at this time, it is too far away from Wu State, and the impact on Wu State is minimal.

He knew that in history, within a few years of usurping the throne, he gradually became stronger, and began to conquer the east and the west to establish a hegemony.

In other words, if it weren't for the fact that he Qingji is now inexplicably alive again, then He Lu should be able to resolve all the contradictions in the country within three to five years and firmly hold power in his hands.

Although he is alive now, if the base is set up far away from the Wu Kingdom, then his influence will still fade day by day, and when his strength is sufficient, his position will be unshakable.

At that time, in the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period, he would not have any impact on the overall situation, and everything would follow the original trajectory.

And he just died a few years later.

In order to deal with the Lu state, it is necessary to establish a resistance team under the nose of the Wu state, so as to effectively maintain the influence of the former king and his Qingji on the Wu state, so that the forces within the Wu state that are still waiting and watching will not give up on joining the Lu state.

The state of Wu faces the sea on one side, and borders the state of Lu, Chu, and Yue on the other three sides.

The strength of the Yue State was too weak, even if Gou Jian destroyed Wu later, he first used conspiracy and trickery to coax Fu to fight in the south and the north, exhausting the national strength of the Wu State, and then attacked Gusu City, which was the victory.

Under normal circumstances, compared with the small Yue State and the Wu State, it is really disproportionate, and in terms of national strength, the Yue State is unbearable.

And although the Yue Kingdom is small, the father of Yue Wang Yunchang Goujian is ambitious, and he always constantly provokes the Wu State, and every time the provocation fails, he bows his head and bows, is willing to be the little brother, and then sends money to send women to pay protection fees to eliminate disasters.

But this person has no memory, he forgot the pain after two years, his confidence swelled, and he threw off his arms and continued to provoke.

Such a scoundrel made Wu Guo overwhelmed, and Wu Guo was very hostile to this close neighbor, and if he threw himself into this small country, it just gave Lu the opportunity to win the hearts of the people.

If He Lu really leads the army to attack, with the courage to steer the rudder in the wind and can bend and stretch his personality, I am afraid that once he loses the battle, he will have to be tied up to give gifts to He Lu.

And Lu Guo at least flaunts himself with benevolence and righteousness, and they can't do such shameless things.

The state of Chu and the state of Wu fought for mulberry and land, because of the border issue often fighting, they were happy to see the internal strife in Wu, the more chaotic the better, but it was easy to establish a government in exile under the nose of the state of Chu, and it would be very difficult to establish an army in exile that was enough to subvert a country.

The state of Chu attaches great importance to the concentration of royal power, and the two great families of Wu Zixu and Bo Yao were destroyed, ostensibly because of the persecution of the ministers of the Chu state, but in fact, the deep reason is to centralize power in the royal family.

The four generations of the Wu family, the weight of the military power has endangered the royal family, the head of the family in this life is loyal, who knows if the head of the next generation of the family has ambitions, don't you love power, then find an opportunity to destroy you, in front of the society, the existence of a family name is nothing.

The same is true of the Bo Yao family, the Bo family is also the secretary of the Chu State for generations, his father Bo Xuan Wan is the most virtuous and famous in the Chu State, the most popular, what to repair bridges and roads, disaster year relief, similar good things have done a basket, won the love of the people, who wants to say no to him on the street, immediately a group of people will jump out and point their noses and scold you, and those with a bad temper can beat you on the spot, and the prestige is higher than that of the King of Chu, and the bane of this extermination is also buried.

The State of Chu was so vigilant about the powerful forces that might appear within it, how could it be possible to build a powerful military force in the country that could not be controlled by the King of Chu, so the only thing that could be counted on was the State of Lu.

Lu's forbearance for the country, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and religion made Lu's national policy never think of developing outward, developing hegemony and force.

It is their consistent method to form good neighbors, get along with each other, and practice the way of benevolence and righteousness, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage, but it is not without opportunities, and he was given a chance after he ascended the throne.

As soon as He Lufu ascended the throne, he made bold statements that he wanted to strengthen the state of Wu, and cut down Chu, Lu, and even Qi to build a hegemony.

He said this at the time, first, he had just ascended to the throne, and he was excited, and when he was impulsive, the words in his heart blurted out without thinking.

On the other hand, it is also because the people who support him to ascend the throne are all generals in the army, and if the generals in the army want to be promoted, they can only be promoted by military merits, and this ambition can attract them to work for themselves with all their hearts.

I don't want to eradicate the dissidents at that time, someone leaked his great ideas at the "military conference", Qi is strong, and it is far away, just as a fool to talk about dreams, but Lu Guo knows that he has never been heavily armed, there are no famous generals in the army, if he really wants to fight, he really can't beat Wu Guo, this is an opportunity for Qingji.

In addition, Lu Guo has always flaunted benevolence and righteousness, and Lu Lu is a usurper and self-reliant, if he helps himself, it is where the righteousness lies, as long as he promises certain benefits to Lu Guo, then there will still be some people in Lu Guoshi who agree to help him.

Even if he can't succeed in getting the help of the Lu State, the longer he is active here, the easier it will be to set the Wu State and the Lu State against each other.

It is for these reasons that after careful consideration, Qingji has decided to do his best to win over the country of Lu.

In the three huans of Lu Guo, if Ji Sunyi is willing to help, he will not have his purpose, he believes that Yang Hu will come to him for a showdown in the next two days, what he has to do now is to wait patiently.

Qingji can wait patiently, the Shusun family and the Mengsun family can't wait for a moment, Ji Sunyi is aggressive, and the purpose of monopolizing power is becoming more and more clear, they can't wait until the power falls before launching a counterattack, so, as soon as the banquet is over, the two family heads entered the door of the Shusun family back and forth.

The estates of the Sanhuan family are very large, with high walls and corner towers outside, and there are not only family members and servants and maids inside, but also hundreds or even thousands of soldiers stationed, like a city within a city.

At this time, in the open space in the backyard of the uncle's house, there were more than 500 strong and powerful soldiers, and in front of the military formation, there was a tall and toned woman, she was wearing a military uniform, and the graceful curves of her carcass were undoubtedly exposed.

At this moment, she was standing in front of the soldiers, and next to her was a burly man like a lion.

The woman put her hands behind her back and said, "Niu Balang, from these five hundred people, select a strong and powerful team for me, this year's God Sacrifice Dragon Boat Competition, our uncle and grandson must not be disgraced again." ” Niu Balang crossed his hand and said: "Miss, wrestlers are easy to get, but there are few people who are good at boating, water boat racing, if the boating skills are not as good as people, it is difficult to achieve a big victory." ” The woman still stood with her hands in her hands and said, "I understand, first pick a wrestler, and tomorrow morning, you and I will go to the people who are looking for good water to do the teaching." ” "No" Niu Hachiro replied and went to the military array to select a wrestler.

What they say about the dragon boat race to the gods, in fact, is the Dragon Boat Festival, the lunar calendar to the earth branch of the month, the first month of Jianyin, February for the Mao, the order to May for the noon, so called May for the noon month, "five" and "noon" through, "five" and the number of yang, so the Dragon Boat Festival is also known as the Dragon Five, this festival in the spring and autumn is an important festival to worship the dragon, because the Chinese nation to the dragon as a totem.

On the fifth day of the fifth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival, throwing zongzi and racing dragon boats are all related to dragons.

Zongzi is thrown into the water to support the dragon, while the dragon boat is used for the race.

At that time, there were Dragon Boat Festival customs such as stepping on a hundred grasses, fighting a hundred grasses, picking miscellaneous medicines, hanging calamus, drinking realgar wine, etc., which were related to dragons and snakes, and had nothing to do with the commemoration of Qu Yuan that was later said.

Qu Yuan is only a doctor of the Chu State, no matter how loyal he is, he is only loyal to the Chu State, and if he dies, it is impossible for other vassal states to sacrifice the doctor Qu who is loyal to the king of Chu.

What's more, the king of Chu at that time didn't buy his account, just asking the people of Chu to hold such a huge commemorative event for him couldn't do it, let alone the whole world.

Only the sacrifice of the dragon, the common totem of the Chinese nation, made all countries follow and form a tradition.

Later generations wear chisel and attach, some say that it is to commemorate Wu Zixu, some say it is to commemorate Qu Yuan, and some say that it is to commemorate the filial daughter Cao E, but Qu Yuan's story has a wide influence, especially his kind of loyal monarch thought is appreciated by the rulers of the example, and it is carried forward intentionally or unintentionally, and gradually this ancient festival of sacrificing the dragon belongs to him.

Sacrificing the dragon is a solemn and sacred event, but in terms of form, it has become a grand festival for the common people to enjoy together, and the Sanhuan family wants to win the championship in the dragon boat race and suppress the arrogance of the other two, so they naturally do not hesitate to spend money.

The eldest lady of the uncle and grandson family selected wrestlers in the backyard to prepare for the competition, and said goodbye to Ji Sun and Meng Sun's family, and in the front yard, the two heads of the uncle and Meng Sun had already walked into the small hall, sat down opposite, and began to discuss the countermeasures to deal with Ji and Qingji.
