Chapter 186: The world is turbulent Fei Wuji said: "Ji Guang has done a lot of evil in my Yingdu, but all Chu people, don't grit their teeth and hate, the divisions of King Qin from all over the country are coming one after another, and when the army gathers, they will swear to fight to the death and expel Wu Kou."
Your Highness has the same hatred as my Chu people, and they all have great hatred with Helu, and there are some things that I don't have to hide from you.
My Chu King and Queen Mother is the eldest princess of Qin, the old man escorted the king to avoid the Jiufeng Valley, and sent the doctor Shen Baoxu to Qin for help, if Qin is willing to send troops to help, with the strength of my Chu army, it is enough to expel Wu Shi, and now there is an alliance with Gongzi, and it is even more helpful, but I don't know when Gongzi's army can arrive in Chu."
Qing Ji said, Fei Wuji told me the news of sending an envoy to Qin to ask for rescue, that is to increase the weight, and he wants to fight for more benefits, but I don't know how big his appetite is, Nangwa, Fei Wuji, and Yan Jiangshi, it is famous for his insatiable greed, if it is a personal benefit, it doesn't matter, I am afraid that the land has a request, it will be a big embarrassment.
Qingji raised his spirit, and said cautiously: "Don't hide from the young master, before Qingji came here, he had also made some preparations, and it was originally planned that no matter whether there was help from the state of Chu or not, he would send troops to attack Wu at the beginning of March next year, and now he has formed an alliance with the state of Chu, and the sooner the army is dispatched, the better, as long as a formal alliance is signed with the king of Chu, and the seal of the king of Chu is used, Qingji will immediately send people to transfer troops, and within twenty days, my vanguard army will appear in front of the young master." ” "Okay" Fei Wuji's eyes lit up, Qin Ren was willing to send troops, he was really unsure in his heart, now that he was jealous of sending him to the door, he didn't want to turn away this powerful helper, the two of them were each with their own ghosts, he asked again: "The two armies form an alliance and fight side by side, there must always be a unified order, advance and retreat together, and make unified arrangements, otherwise each has its own subordinates, which is tantamount to a plate of scattered sand."
When the armies of you and me converge, who will be the commander in command of the whole army?"
Qingji smiled slightly, and replied calmly: "Qingji's name of martial arts is just that when he was the prince of Wu, his subordinates deliberately touted it, and furthermore, personal martial arts and courage are not necessarily able to command the three armies, since they are fighting in the Chu State, they are naturally dominated by the Chu division, as for the candidates for the commanders of the three armies, Qingji obeys the arrangements of His Royal Highness the King of Chu." ” Fei Wuji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Qingji's reputation for martial arts spread all over the world, he has never been good at military affairs, if Qingji wants to be the commander of the whole army, it is exactly what everyone expects, and most of his credit will be shared.
Since he obeyed the arrangement of the King of Chu, hehe, the King of Chu is not in his own hands.
Thinking of this, Fei Wuji showed a hint of joy on his face, first solved his personal interests, he began to consider the benefits of the Chu State, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "Since it is an alliance, it is natural to advance and retreat together and help each other."
It's just that once Wu Shi is expelled, will my Chu army still have the obligation to help His Highness restore the country?"
Qingji said angrily: "This is not necessary, it can frustrate Master Wu, make Ji Guang's prestige suffer a big setback, and lose his military prestige, which is a great help to Qingji."
If there is a benevolent and righteous teacher of the Chu State to help restore the country, it is certainly a good thing that cannot be sought, but Qingji also understands in his heart that in previous years, Wu and Chu fought for Sangtian, and there were many entanglements between each other, and the soldiers and soldiers would inevitably have grudges.
Moreover, the Chu people suffered this great blow, and the small vassal states in the country were bound to move, and they also needed to be suppressed by a large army. ” "Hmm" Once Ji Guang is expelled from the country, what Fei Wuji cares about is to quickly support the king of Chu to return to Yingdu, and use the name of the king of Chu to reward him, and replace all his cronies with the people of the Nangwa family, from the second to the boss, and taste the infinite scenery.
There is no benefit in helping Qing to fight Wu, he doesn't want to be restrained by this matter, once the battle of Wu is protracted, won't he drag himself to death there.
Since Qingji only needs him to hit Ji Guang's power hard in the territory of Chu State, this is easy to accept.
A sly smile appeared at the corner of Fei Wuji's mouth, and he said, "Your Highness, these four answers are deeply in line with Fei's meaning.
Finally, there is one more thing to discuss with His Highness.
Wu and Chu were originally at peace with each other.
It's just that with the increase of population, the expansion of the city, and the need for acres of mulberry fields have also expanded, and the reckless wilderness that no one cared about between the two countries has now become a place of contention between each other, which often causes disputes, and the war between Wu and Chu has come because of this.
If His Royal Highness restores the Wu State and becomes the monarch of the Wu State, in the future, the common people of the two countries will have disputes again, and as the king of the Wu State, His Royal Highness will naturally be the master of the Wu people, and it is impossible to say that there will be disputes between Wu and Chu again.
Now that His Highness wants to form an alliance with our Chu State, should we take this opportunity to clearly divide the entangled border areas between the two countries?
Qing Ji sighed for a while, and asked: "What the young master said is very true, but the border dispute between the two countries has been going on for a long time, and it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong.
Fei Wuji smiled: "I was about to discuss with His Highness." ” He pulled out his sword, the blade of the sword crutched the ground, thought for a moment, and hurriedly drew a map of dogs and teeth on the ground, Qingji saw the map, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, he always thought that Fei Wuji, the great annihilator, could only have the power of today by patting the king of Xianchu and Ling Yin Nangwa's sycophants, but he didn't think that this person was not all a sycophant, if he didn't have great ambitions, he would never have kept in mind such a complex terrain as the Wuchu border in detail, this Fei Wuji, has his own hills and ravines in his chest.
"Your Highness, please see, Hetian, Taohuachong, Wuyuan, Pingxiang, these areas, long before His Royal Highness King Wu of Chu was called king, when the ancestor surnamed Xiong was still a viscount, there were ancestors of my Chu State who cultivated land and established towns there, which has a history of nearly five hundred years.
These places, where our Chu people have lived and lived since ancient times, are an inseparable part of the territory of our Chu State, and our Chu State has indisputable sovereignty over these areas.
It is hoped that after the restoration of the country, His Royal Highness will be able to return these territories now occupied by the State of Wu to our country and resolve these disputes, so that the two countries of Wu and Chu can become a brotherly state, and they will be friendly forever. ” Everything else can be agreed, only this land splitting, no matter how high-sounding the reason, it is definitely a ruined son in the eyes of the ancestors, and a waste in the eyes of the people of the time, if Qingji just returned to the country, he will divide all these fertile lands with the Chu State, in the eyes of the Wu people, it is tantamount to a shameless villain who betrayed his ancestors in exchange for his own glory, how could he agree to Fei Wuji's request.
The times are stronger than people, and when Qingji came to Chu to strive for an alliance, it was no exception that he did not think of making some sacrifices and concessions, because in some areas, it was really impossible to say whose territory it was, no matter how full the evidence was, at most it had a good reputation in morality, and its actual ownership would always rely on military strength.
With the competition between the two sides over the years, you come and I go, I advance and you retreat, and gradually form a staggered distribution of forces, many areas were originally controlled by the Chu people, Qingji now has no inch of land to belong to himself, the strength is limited, and the actual situation has to be considered.
To become a mature politician, it is necessary to consider the contest with the real strength of the opponent, and consider the long-term and comprehensive interests of each other, and not decide his political decision because of a few slogans or word of mouth from the people.
From their point of view, those small people don't know the truth behind the scenes, and they will only say some fancy things with their will, and they don't have the possibility of actually doing it.
However, now that the Yingdu of Chu has been occupied by Wu Shi, what Ji Guang has done in Yingdu has formed an indissoluble enmity with the Chu people, and the Chu people must fight with Ji Guang.
Qing Ji immediately pointed to the intersecting areas on the map and said, "Young Master Fei's words are wrong.
As early as the Shang Dynasty, King Tai of Xiqi Zhou had his eldest son Taibo, his second son Zhongyong and his third son Ji Li.
Ji Li's son Ji Chang, who later became King Wen of Zhou, was smart and precocious, and was deeply favored by the prince.
King Taiwang of Zhou wanted to pass it on to Chang, but according to the etiquette law, it should be passed on to the eldest son, so the king was depressed.
After Taber understood what his father meant, he and his second brother Zhong Yong took the opportunity of collecting medicine for their father to come to the present-day Wu Kingdom, create their own foundation, and establish the ancient country of Gouwu.
After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty was established, and King Wu named Zhou Zhang, the third grandson of Taibo, as the marquis, and then changed the name of the country to Wu.
The first monarch of Chu State, Xiong Yi, was established after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, and after King Cheng, the son of King Wu, succeeded to the throne, he was enshrined in Jing Chu as a viscount.
My Wu State was established earlier than the Zhou Dynasty, and the footprints of the Wu people have already set foot in these areas mentioned by Fei Shaofu. ” Fei Wuji said unhappily: "Your Highness's words are unreasonable, although the state of Wu is early, but at that time, the country of Wu was sparsely populated, and there was not even a big city, the so-called country, its size was just a few big tribes living in the plains at that time.
Nowadays, these prosperous border cities, 10,000 acres of fertile land, and patches of mulberry forests were still an ownerless barren forest inhabited by snakes and insects at that time, and the existing evidence proves that it was the ancestors of our Chu State who lived there first and opened it up, how can they be determined to belong to Wu because Wu Guoguo was early?"
"Fei Shaofu's statement is a big fallacy, since the time is not accurate, then this Sanmiao ancient land is also a wild and undeveloped place, is it Qingji to lead the troops to open a few acres of mountain fields here, plant a few mulberry trees, you can assign it to the name of Wu State?"
The two of them were arguing with each other, each drawing his sword and pointing and drawing on the map, and when the map was broken and it was difficult to distinguish, the two of them would change places, and Fei Wuji would draw another map, and the two of them would argue fiercely about every mulberry forest, every piece of fertile land, and every town.
As the sun set, the fiery red clouds floated in the sky, and the faint sunset shone on the two people on the hillside, dragging two long shadows on the ground, and the two were still arguing fiercely about every inch of land, but each other's voices were a little hoarse The next day, when Xu was rising and the birds were singing, the king of Chu met Qingji again and officially signed an alliance with him.
The book of the alliance is written in two copies, written in plain silk, answered by the two people, and stamped with the seal of the king of Chu.
The league is written in great detail, and the dense small characters not only indicate the rights, obligations, and subordinates of the two sides when they join forces to attack Wu, but also write in detail the territory that Qingji will hand over and divide with the state of Chu once it recovers.

Yesterday, Qingji and Fei Wuji argued and refuted the two countries one by one from many aspects, such as the development origin, local culture, population composition, historical background, and geographical environment of the disputed areas between the two countries.
Judging from the division of the disputed areas between the two countries, the geographical area of each other was basically divided in half, while in fact the Chu State received more mulberry forests and farmland areas, and as compensation, Fei Wuji ceded to the Wu State a strip of territory in the southwest that originally bordered the Yue State.
This area is undeveloped and is still a primeval forest, and the mulberry forests and fertile fields divided by the two sides, and the dividing lines between each other have also assigned a large number of mature fields and mulberry forests to the Chu State.
Therefore, although the geographical area obtained by the two sides is equally divided, what Qingji side gets is either high mountains or Pinghu, and the newly inherited southwest area is even more undeveloped mountains and forests, which is obviously a big loss, so Fei Wuji is proud and has listed this matter as a great credit to the king of Chu after expelling Ji Guang.
After the two sides concluded an alliance, Qingji immediately sent people Pegasus to rush back to defend the country to transfer troops, and at the same time decided to make a detailed military plan with the king of Chu, he returned to the border of Chu to meet his own people, and the king of Chu immediately issued more than ten edicts and sent secret envoys to various places to transfer troops.
Qingji did not snub Fan Li because of contact with the upper echelons of the Chu State, but he had spare time to be with him, and after the humble banquet of the covenant between the two sides, Qingji returned to Fan Li's camp and talked with him about the alliance with the Chu State.
Fan Li, who led the troops to the King of Qin, but had not been received by the King of Chu Xuan, was not even qualified to participate in such an important meeting, until he heard Qingji talk about it, Fan Li knew that the King of Chu had formed an alliance with Qingji, and couldn't help but rejoice.
But when Qingji talked about the details of the covenant, Fan Li's heart sank and he thought about it.
Fan Li had no opinion on the joint alliance in front of him, but for the last paragraph, the detailed demarcation of the border between the two sides made Fan Li secretly vigilant.
The areas taken over by Wu are all important on land and water, although they have not taken advantage of agriculture, but militarily, once the two countries clash, it is a dangerous place where 1,000 soldiers can resist 10,000 soldiers.
The barren land that Chu allocated to Wu seems to be remote and has little cultivation and development value, but that area is an important channel for the connection between Chu and Yue, which is of great military significance.
Qingji was only forced to accept it because of Fei Wuji's threat, or did he have ulterior motives If he has ulterior motives, his intention is that Wu State or Chu State is still an exiled son, whether Wu State can be in his hands is still between the two of them, will he have such a long-term plan The more Fan Li thought about it, the more frightened he became, until Qingji said that he was overwhelmed with wine, and fell on his bed made of pine branches, snoring slightly, Fan Li was stunned, his fist struck slightly, and he walked out of the tent he had built with grass and tree branches, and walked towards the high place of the hillside.
Qingji's snoring paused slightly, one eye opened slightly, flickered slightly, and then the snoring became louder.
"It was Qingji who said it to you personally" "Yes" "The old man heard that after Qingji met Wen Chong, he talked about the current situation of my Chu State, and suggested that you wait to borrow troops from other countries, and Wen Chong has gone to Song State to borrow troops."
"Yes" "Hey.
Fan Li, although Qingji is a prince, the old man sees that he treats you differently, and he does not despise you because of your humble position, and you get along with him very well. ” "Yes, after all, Ranchen is the minister of the Chu State, although they have a personal relationship with each other, and they are involved in the major affairs of the Chu State, the lower officials are thoughtful and dare not say anything."
"Hahahaha" Fei Wuji looked up to the sky and laughed: "Fan Li, Fan Li, Wen Chong is going to the Song Kingdom, if he can get help, it will be a great merit."
You met Qingji first, but you resented him for giving this great credit to the literary species, but let you get nothing?"
Fan Li was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of anger: "Why did the young master say this, Fan Li is open-minded, although Qingji may not have the idea of being unfavorable to my Chu country, but it must be guarded against." ” Fei Wuji sneered, twisted his beard and reprimanded: "Then in your opinion, the old man should assign all the mulberry forests and fertile fields to Qingji, leaving me a barren mountain and a remote mountain in the Chu country, it is really ridiculous Wu Yue Even if there is a real war, what if there is a war between them, they fight each other, consume national strength, and my Chu country is very advantageous, and those dangerous places cannot be moved, even if the Wu country relies on it, it is only used for defense, and what is the hindrance to my Chu country A gentleman is open-minded, young man, you are so scheming, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." ” Fan Li's face was so angry by his words that he was so angry that he arched his hand and wanted to say more, Fei Wuji had already brushed his sleeves and said: "Okay, you step down, the old man already knows about this matter, and the old man has his own plan in his heart, so don't say more." ” Fan Li was choked back again, he couldn't bear to respond, withdrew from the tent, stood outside the tent for a long time, sighed faintly, and then walked away.
At this time, the situation of King Wu Lu in Yingdu City was not easy.
Ji Guang had no well-founded ambition for the Chu State from the bottom of his heart, he just wanted to be powerful and prosperous in Yingdu, so as to deter the princes of the world and lay the foundation for him to compete for hegemony.
And the two important ministers around him, Wu Zixu and Bo Yu, both had a grudge against the King of Chu for destroying the family and destroying the family.
Wu Zixu is bent on revenge, almost becoming a revenge paranoid, usually a very shrewd person, once he talks about revenge, he loses his mind and is crazy.
Bo Bi is more rational than him, Bo Bi is too rational, all actions are based on personal interests, only know how to please and obey Lu Lu, let alone put forward opinions that disobey him, so the three of these monarchs and ministers, what they did in Yingdu was not popular at all.
When they first attacked Yingdu, they were like a bamboo, the Chu team was slack, and the civilians stood by, but they were only half a month in Yingdu, and what they did set up countless enemies for themselves, the entire Yingdu was a soldier, and the Wu division fell into the vast sea of the people's war of Chu.
The more brutal Wu Shi's behavior became, the stronger the resistance of the Chu people, and some Chu warriors even took advantage of their familiarity with the terrain to find a place to live in Helu, and wanted to assassinate Helu, so that one night Helu was attacked by assassins several times, and changed five prescriptions overnight to ensure safety.
The next day, Lu sent people to arrest and execute a number of Chu people who he thought were suspicious, and the bloody suppression caused even more tragic revenge from the Chu people.
The Chu people rose up to fight against the Wu division, and there was no general to command, so the people who had been soldiers were responsible for training and commanding, and a small militia was formed around Yingdu, claiming that "each will cause its death, but the Wu soldiers will return to Chu."
As a result, the Wu people had a small group of people and did not dare to go out.
At this time, the Wu people set up a guard post in the pass around Yingdu, and caught a secret envoy sent by the king of Chu to summon the division of King Qin, and learned of the king of Chu's move to convene the division of King Qin, as well as the news that Qingji formed an alliance with the Chu people, and the king of Chu sent people to Qin and Song to borrow troops, Wu Zixu immediately realized the crisis and immediately hurried into the palace to meet Lu.
The original magnificent palace of Chu is now a mess, the gold, silver, and bronze in the palace of Chu are all fine silk and satin, and all the property of the minister's doctor, rich businessmen and gentry, and even the thorn branches that make arrows, can be robbed, and everything that can be cut is chopped, and all of them are loaded and packed and transported to Wu by Lu.
The convoy carrying the wealth of the Chu State was endless, and it had been non-stop for more than ten days, and all the cars and horses of all the families in Yingdu had been requisitioned, and they still couldn't be transported.
Those that have not yet been transported have also been dismantled, and the bags are all stacked in one place to be guarded, waiting to be escorted into Wu.
As soon as he saw Wu Zixu enter the palace, he laughed and said: "Xiangguo came just in time, Chu Ji is delicate and colorful, and the delicate one is none other than the palace of Chu Wang."
These beauties danced gracefully, and the widow gave them to Xiangguo, and they could be brought back to the house to enjoy after a while. ” Wu Zixu said solemnly: "The minister has something important to do, please retreat from the king." ” He Lu was slightly stunned, and when he saw his serious expression, he waved his hand according to his words, and dismissed the palace maids and musicians, and the hall suddenly fell silent, and the palace of the King of Chu, which had been looted, immediately seemed empty.
Wu Zixu hurriedly told the information he got to He Lu, and He Lu couldn't help but change color when he heard it, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect the Chu people to react so quickly, and Qingji came to take advantage of the situation again, this son is really a big trouble for the widow, Wu Xiangguo, in your opinion, what should the widow do now" Wu Zixu said solemnly: "On the way here, the soldiers have carefully considered it, and in the opinion of the minister, there are two choices. ” "Tell me."
"One, if my Wu division immediately retreats to the country, then Qin will definitely not send troops, and the alliance between Chu and Qingji will also fail.
The state of Chu is newly defeated, and even if it hates my country of Wu to the bone, it will not rashly send troops to attack Wu.
Second, our Wu State also sent messengers to contact friendly countries with the same interests to restrain the Chu reinforcements. ” He Lu muttered: "Although the first method is safe, but when I heard that the Chu people asked for help, my Wu division immediately returned to the country, and the prestige that I had finally created was about to be put to waste, so I said how to compete with the princes If the Qin people and the Song people follow the second method, if the Qin people and the Song people, plus Qingji and the Chu people to conclude an alliance, which country has the ability to compete with it."
Wu Zixu smiled faintly: "This is not difficult, the Qin people want to go out of the pass to dominate the world, but they are blocked by the Jin people, the Jin people want to go east to compete for the Central Plains, but they are afraid that the Qin people dare not act rashly on their backs."
Now the Qin people wanted to help the Chu people, and once they succeeded, they opened up a second way along the Great River Valley, and formed an alliance with Chu and concluded friendship, which was greatly detrimental to the Jin state.
If a man who can speak well is sent to the Jin State to explain the benefits, the Jin people will inevitably agree to send troops to help in the war.
The Jin State was a large country in the West, with countless small vassals, and once it entered the war, its help was not trivial.
In addition, it is the Qi State, a large country in the East, the Qi people are ambitious, and they also have the heart of expansion, but their northward advance is a barren frontier, and there is a small Weiguo in the west, and then there is the Jin State, which is afraid of each other, and uses the defense of the country as a buffer, and does not want to have conflicts.
If you want to go south, you have a chance.

Between the south of Qi and my Wu country, there are the Dongyi tribes, these tribes have not established a country, the territory is vast, and they have always been a piece of fat in the eyes of the Qi people, but the Qi people are afraid that the Qi army will go south, forcing the next Lu, Xu, and my Wu country to form an alliance to resist, so they dare not make any moves.
If we promise to assist the Qi State in obtaining these lands in Dongyi, the Qi people are greedy for profit, and we can also send troops.
The state of Qi is a large country in the east, so with the help of Qi and Jin, it is enough to offset the power of the Chu allies. ” He Lu raised his eyebrows and said: "Qi and Jin are all big countries, and there are countless vassal states, once they participate in the war, the whole world is afraid that the war will be raging." ” Wu Zixu smiled and said: "Then why is my Wu country located in the southeast, and the princes of the world are fighting for the fertile land of the Central Plains, and they will not take my Wu country as a goal."
My Wu country does not have the strength to win the world now, the Central Plains is not chaotic, and the king needs decades of recuperation if he wants to seek the hegemony of the world.
However, if the princes of the Central Plains are fighting endlessly, then it is the opportunity for my Wu State. ” He Lu twisted his eyebrows, and then smiled: "Xiangguo's clever plan, the war in the world is raging, it is the opportunity of my Wu country, haha, according to Xiangguo's words, immediately send an envoy to form an alliance with Qi Jin, and ask him to send troops to help the war."
