The arrival of the rainy season has brought everything to a halt. No work can be done at the Shaping construction site, and Jianghuai's ships cannot come over. Even the Yue people in the refugee camp have become idle, and there are more fights and quarrels.
But Su Ren is not worried. The rainy season will eventually pass, the construction site in Shaping will start again, Jianghuai's ships can come over in the rain, and people like Zhuo Laoqi will handle the issues in the refugee camp, and everything will not happen.
There are big problems. Only the war in Lingnan is a bit troublesome.
The rainy season makes it difficult to travel through Lin Mang, and fighting is even more impossible. So the Yue people chose to cease the war at this time, which made Su Ren a little depressed. Not fighting means that there will be no dead people, and those Yue people who have not escaped will be dead.
This gives us a chance to breathe. The rainy season will take at least a month to end. With such a long time, no one can guarantee that there will be any changes among the people in Yue.
Rubbing his hands together, he walked around the room and said, "Notify Jiji Yu and ask him to come see me!"
On a dark and windy night, Ah Xun arrived as promised. Covered in mud and scars, he looked like an evil spirit emerging from hell. Coupled with the long scars on his face, he looked even more terrifying.
Su Ren put his hands behind his back and stood on a big rock. The entire ground was a mud pond, and this was the only place where he could stand. I don't know how Su Ren got here, but his boots were not stained with a trace of mud, and his whole body felt dry.
People envy.
There was only Huang Shisan next to him, but Ah Xun knew that it did not mean that Su Ren had relaxed his vigilance towards him. Su Ren had always been very cautious and would never completely trust someone who had betrayed him, unless this person
From then on, he devoted himself wholeheartedly. Perhaps when that person died, Su Ren would sigh beside the coffin.
Before Ah Xun could kneel down and salute, Su Ren waved his hand: "No need to salute, just stand and talk!"
Ah Xun was not stubborn and stood still.
Su Ren asked: "How is the retreat of the manpower going? How many people are still left in Lingnan?"
"Most of them have been evacuated. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain, two-thirds could have been evacuated. There are still 30 people left in Lingnan to continue monitoring."
"Okay, stop evacuation temporarily!"
"promise!"
Su Ren thought for a while: "Is Zhiduoxing still there?"
Ah Xun suddenly raised his head, then hurriedly lowered his head: "Zhi Duoxing is still with Huang Yue, looking for a suitable opportunity to evacuate."
"Send someone to tell Zhiduoxing to ask Huang Yue to move. The rainy season has come at a very bad time. The Yue people have stopped fighting. This is not good. It will take several months to wait for the rainy season to end. If the three families reach any conditions by then, all our hard work will be in vain.
Take advantage of the rainy season to allow Huang Yue to expand rapidly, stimulate the Yue people, and get them moving."
"No!" Ah Xun agreed quickly: "Who do you want to attack, sir?"
"Well...! Let's fight in the west! Their territory is between Nanyue and Luoyue. As long as he doesn't want to stop, the other two families won't be able to stop. The people left behind shouldn't be idle either. They must continue to cause trouble.
Until the various tribes start fighting, as I said before, the safety of your own people is the top priority and cannot be forced."
"No, the villain has remembered it!"
Zhao Hu, King of South Vietnam, was leaning on a soft cushion. His fat body was very uncomfortable after sitting for a long time. The maids on the left and right held huge banana leaves in their hands to fan Zhao Hu. Even so, he was still sweating all over his body.
It rained and the weather wasn't that hot anymore. It was just that Zhao Hu was too excited and made a few moves that were not commensurate with his fat body, which made him sweat all over.
Zhao Hu was sulking: "What's wrong? Are you talking? Are you mute?"
No one answered, and Zhao Hu became even more angry. He grabbed a white jade plate on the table and threw it out, hitting the ground hard. The fine white jade plate instantly fell apart and broke into eight petals.
When the archaeologist saw it, he must have been covered in blood and wished he had been the floor.
Lu Jia coughed, stood up and saluted Zhao Hu: "Your Majesty, the cessation of the war during the rainy season is also a last resort. In total, the fighting lasted for many days. Although the whole territory of Fujian and Yue was not captured, it still accounted for more than half. This time
Luo Yue and Xi Ai came together to ask for peace, and if the gifts they presented were not enough, I thought it was time to call off the troops."
Zhao Hu gasped: "Prime Minister, you personally promised that you could capture the entire territory of Fujian and Yue, but now you only have half of it. Is this a credit or a crime?"
Lu Jia was stunned: "Your Majesty..."
Zhao Hu waved his hand: "Zhao Yu has damaged our reputation in South Vietnam and commanded indiscriminately, causing heavy losses to the army. From now on, he will be removed from his position as the commander of the Feihu Camp. That's it. You all should stand down!"
"Your Majesty, General Zhao Yu has worked hard for South Vietnam. He must not be dismissed. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be unstable and South Vietnam will be in danger!" Lu Jia did not leave, but argued hard. The other courtiers could not leave until the Prime Minister left. How many of them could leave?
He hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt behind Lu Jia: "Your Majesty, think twice, what the Prime Minister said is appropriate!"
More and more people are reconsidering Lu Jia's statement. Zhao Hu frowned and looked at the people on the ground fiercely, without saying a word with a dark face. Someone told him yesterday that Lu Jia had thoughts of rebellion.
I still don’t believe it, but today it seems that even if there is no rebellion, they are already forcing him. This small temptation revealed Lu Jia’s face, and Zhao Hu felt hatred in his heart.
All the concubines in the harem were kicked out by Zhao Hu, and he called his confidants with a wave of his hand: "Go and invite sir! What you said is so right, Lu Jia is a wolf-hearted person!"
The chamberlain did not dare to neglect, and quickly invited a middle-aged scholar in long robes with a long sword hanging on his waist. This man looked like a very learned man, and he must have had a long sword hanging on his waist.
He is not weak in martial arts either. How can such a man who is so talented in literature and martial arts be a Han? How great would it be if he were a Yue? When Zhao Hu saw someone coming in, he couldn't help but have some conjectures in his heart.
"The little man Sun Yuesheng pays homage to the king!"
Zhao Hu personally helped Gongsun Yuesheng up and said: "Sir, you are so polite. You are really talented. A little trick has allowed me to see Lu Jia's face clearly. If it hadn't been for you, I would have been kept in the dark."
"
Gongsun Yuesheng stroked his beard with his hands: "All powerful officials are like this. Lu Jia is a veteran of three dynasties and has the support of his own tribe. Relying on the king's trust in him, it is not unusual for him to do such a thing. The problem now is the king's preparation
What should we do? This time, the envoys from Luoyue and Xixi went to Lu Jia's house first, and then asked to see His Majesty. The villain also sent people to find out the truth. Unfortunately, Lu Jia was on tight guard, and I don't know what was discussed. He only met with Your Majesty later.
At that time, the gifts sent out were not as many as they brought into the city."
"Sir, what you mean is that Lu Jiaqi deducted the tribute from Luo Yue and Xi Ai to my king?"
"The villain dare not speak nonsense without any basis or basis, he is just talking."
"Hmph! You're so good, Lu Jia. I regard you as my confidant, but you actually treat me like this. Come on!"
"Your Majesty, wait a minute!" Gongsun Yuesheng quickly stopped Zhao Hu: "A small impatience will ruin the big plan. Although Lu Jia is hateful, he has half of the South Vietnamese army in his hands. If he is forced too much, it may be detrimental to the King. Please also ask the King
Think twice.”
Zhao Hu thought for a while, sighed, and fell down on the cushion: "What do you think we should do, sir?"
Gongsun Yuesheng drank some water, looked at Zhao Hu and said two words: "Fight!"
"fight?"
"It's a war. Your Majesty can send Lu Jia's troops to Fujian and Yue. As long as the rest of Luoyue and Xijou fight, no matter who wins or loses, it will be a good thing for Your Majesty. Then it won't be easy to deal with Lu Jia?"
Zhao Hu thought about it for a long time this time. Zhao Hu was fat, but not stupid. He knew very well how serious the side effects of war would be. The war before the heavy rain came, almost half of South Vietnam's manpower was tied up, and he almost missed the opportunity.
The farming season is over. If there is still a war, I wonder if the crops that have just been planted can still be received. Next year will become a year of famine. How should Zhao Hu govern South Vietnam?
"Sir, is there no other way?"
Gongsun Yuesheng shook his head: "No, this is the only way. As long as the rebels are captured, South Vietnam will maintain peace for at least ten years. With the wisdom of the king, it is just a matter of effort to manage South Vietnam in an orderly manner. Only by getting rid of Lu Jia can the king
A necessary condition to secure the throne."
Seeing that Zhao Hu did not respond, Gongsun Yuesheng continued: "Of course, the king can also keep Lu Jia. It is like leaving a sword beside him. If he moves slightly, he may end up dead.
The king should be able to distinguish clearly which one is lighter and which one is more important."
"Okay, I know how to deal with it. I will order the Feihu Camp and Cheetah Camp to set off immediately tomorrow."
The two of them talked until late at night, then reluctantly dispersed. Back in the room, Gongsun Yuesheng drank several sips of water. As he was drinking, he noticed someone behind him. He quickly turned around and saw a masked man sitting next to him.
In the room, I held a dagger in my hand, reflected it on the oil lamp, and observed the reflection of the light from the dagger.
Gongsun Yuesheng saw the scar on the man's right eye at a glance, and immediately turned over and knelt down: "Brother is here!"
The man nodded: "Sir, I am very satisfied with your ability. Let me tell you, hiding behind the scenes, Zhao Hu and Lu Jia broke up. As soon as they started to take action, they evacuated immediately. I have already made the disease white, and Thunderbolt stayed to help.
Don't be careless, Lu Jia will be difficult to deal with."
Gongsun Yuesheng chuckled: "Thank you sir for your opinion. Please tell me, sir, that the villain's reputation as the Cloud Dragon cannot be in vain. This matter must be handled properly."
Ah Xun nodded: "Very good, I'm waiting for your good news. Say goodbye!" He turned around and hid in the shadows, disappearing.
During the rainy period, the busiest person was A Xun. He traveled between Lingnan and Han Dynasty, telling Su Ren the news about Lingnan and conveying Su Ren's orders to his subordinates. The Yue people entered into a rare truce.
During this period, they were even busier. What Su Ren's plan looked like, A Xun could guess a little from the orders issued by Su Ren. Su Ren's plan was huge, so A Xun became more careful.
Several Yue people have their own hidden stakes, and this is the first time they have been used together. In the past, the hidden stakes were only used as spies to get information, but now they have become the most important part of the entire plan. Before arranging these hidden stakes
At the beginning, Su Ren personally selected them. Now it seems that Su Ren was very attentive at the beginning. We can see the clues from the nicknames of several people. They are: Zhi Duoxing, Shenji Military Advisor, Ruiyunlong, and Smiling Tiger. (To be continued)
