"Shut up Shang Wuji! What a handsome guy! I'm obviously Wu Optimus Prime! Damn it!"
The scolding Li Jie reminded Shang Wuji when he asked people to return home, not to slap a random title on his head. Although Wu Wang Gou Chen came up with some "big country handsome", it was not very good.
The city dwellers in Suzhou are having a great time during the Chinese New Year, because there are rumors coming back.
"Those who openly offend Wu will be punished no matter how far away they are... Okay! Okay! Okay!"
In the palace, King Gouchen of Wu was wearing a tiger-skin cloak. The cloak fell to the ground, and he looked extremely majestic. The ministers present were also honored. The recent events were all good things.
Lord Yiyang fired a false shot and began to flee north. Most of those fighting against the king were following the Huaiyi who were making trouble and had no fighting power at all.
The main force in Yancheng did not really compete with Wang's division. Small groups of troops clashed. In this winter climate, the technical and tactical levels were very low. What they fought for was courage.
There were victories and defeats, but the Yancheng army did not dare to persist. After waiting for an opportunity without hope, they chose to flee. The number of troops led by Lord Yiyang was four to five thousand. As for the servant army, it was obvious that it had been completely abandoned.
"Where do you think Ji Xuan will flee to?"
"Your Majesty."
A doctor stood up and came out of the queue, then stood ten steps in front of the King of Wu. After bowing, he lowered his head and said: "Ji Xuan has contacts with Dai, Lai and Qi. The young master has visited the Central Plains and has found out that Ji Xuan is colluding with foreign countries. Minister
Jia Ren thought that Ji Xuan would not be able to escape because of the cold weather and would definitely end up in Lai."
"Your Majesty."
Another doctor came out of the queue. He also stepped forward ten steps. After saluting, he looked at Jia Ren and said, "Jia Ren's words are reasonable to my minister Jia Yi. From the northern border of Dawu to the sea, you can enter Lai after passing through the five countries."
country."
"I made an alliance last year, and Lai invaded five cities for Qi. It is a weak country. How dare you accept my rebellious Wu today?"
Gou Chen did not sit up and talk, but stood in front of the table, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his hands, "Ji Si has traveled to various countries. Since he said that Ji Xuan colluded with Qi, why did Ji Xuan give up a small country and abandon a big one? Furthermore, Jia Jun
Since the country of Qi and Lai are so far apart, why should Ji Xuan choose Lai?"
"Your Majesty."
The doctor looked at the King of Wu and said, "My minister Jia Yi once visited Qi, Lai, Tan, Ju, Ji and other countries near the sea. I know that Ji Xuan's relatives and relatives have traveled to many countries. Among them, Lai is the most important. If Ji Xuan enters
Lai, if the inside and outside are coordinated, we can seize the country and the country of Lai."
The Lai Kingdom, like the Biyang Kingdom, both have the same surname as Ju. Although they are sandwiched between a group of countries with the surname Ji and Jiang, their lives are pretty good. Moreover, the Lai Kingdom is indeed doing well, and there are intermarriages with neighboring countries.
, the only frontal battle was with Qi, and the rest of the time it was relatively peaceful.
And even if they fight with Qi many times, intermarriage between the two countries is normal. Last year, the king of Lai was planning to marry a woman named Jiang, and he will get married next year at the latest.
Laizi also invited the king of Lu State to marry him, and he was very good-looking. He also said hello to Wu State. At that time, Wu State also agreed to send a high-level envoy to visit, and the "head" was "Xuanwuzi" Yiyang Jun.
It's just that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Lord Yiyang rebelled. There must have been changes in this matter.
But what surprised Wu Wang Gouchen was that he originally thought that Ji Xuan's relationship with Lai State was just a visit, but now listening to what his eldest father Jia Yi said, it seemed that Ji Xuan, a beast, actually wanted to take away Lai State's
Sheji?!
"Seize the kingdom of Lai!"
With a loud shout, Gou Chen went into a rage. Although his beard and hair were all white, his sharp eyes made Jia Yi couldn't help but bow his head. After a while, he took a breath and answered Gou Chen again.
"Your Majesty, this is Jia Yi's suspicion, not a final conclusion."
Jia Yi's voice was not loud, but he could hear it clearly. The ministers of the State of Wu in the hall all looked thoughtful. If Dr. Jia's guess was accurate, then "Xuanwuzi" had planned his retreat very early.
.
In fact, many people speculate that even if Lord Yiyang wants to run away, he will most likely go to Dai, Wei or even Jin.
Although the State of Dai is small, it is close to them; although the State of Jin is far away, it is a great power and is not afraid of the State of Wu.
As a result, taking advantage of the current trend of "killing him no matter how far away", the speculations of the doctors seemed to have changed.
"So, Ji Xuan has long been rebellious!"
Gou Chen, the king of Wu with a fierce look in his eyes, held a sword in one hand and pointed at Jia Yi with the other hand, "Why didn't you say it earlier!"
"Your Majesty, your minister Jia Yi also learned the news not long ago."
There is no need to explain the specific process in the main hall. King Wu wanted to know the detailed process, so he would naturally ask. The urgent question now is whether Ji Xuan has the strength to change the skin of Lai Kingdom.
After calculating the strength of Ji Xuan's hands now, Gou Chen didn't think that several small northern countries could stop Ji Xuan, or even if they had the ability, they would pretend not to have that ability and come to Wu to cry.
There are quite a lot of anti-Wu forces in the Qilu area.
But military strength is military strength, and the preliminary work required to change the king of Lai is not a piece of cake.
Gouchen instinctively thought that this was impossible.
But he quickly rejected this idea and assumed that as long as this possibility existed, it would definitely happen.
So Gou Chen thought about what would happen if Lai changed its monarch and the monarch became Ji Xuan? Lai must be a hostile country to Wu, so there should be no country near the northern border of Wu that does not hate Wu.
The anti-Wu forces became the anti-Wu alliance.
Thinking of this, Gou Chen couldn't help but sigh.
However, there was no such worry on his face, but he said: "Ji Si is still in the Lu country?"
"Back to your Majesty, the young master has already left for Weiguo."
Dazai Ziqi came out, and he had a complete grasp of the situation regarding diplomatic matters. Li Jie was a guest general in the Biyang Kingdom, and his status as a "traveler" was also done by Dazai Ziqi.
Now in the eyes of all the officials in Gusu, Dazai Ziqi is simply a super player.
Just do whatever you want, and you'll get a big IP out of it. Making money by going public is simply a matter of closing your eyes.
As great as Li Jie's popularity is, Zi Qi's position in Wu will be more stable.
"Who can be the envoy to Lai Kingdom?!"
Gou Chen scanned the whole place. Many people in the hall were eager to try, but they were also hesitant.
They are all experienced bureaucrats and cannot be so impulsive.
Since Doctor Jia Yi has already said that "Xuanwuzi" has the possibility of changing to Pillai, then this possibility is very likely to be true.
No matter how incredible or wishful thinking the specific operation is, for the monarchs and ministers of the Wu Kingdom in the past three generations, no matter how wishful thinking they are, is it more exaggerated to beat the Central Plains countries on the back of a king? It is more difficult to subdue Qi and Jin than to change the skin of a small lai
In China, it is countless times more difficult.
Even now, many new generation officials in the Wu Kingdom cannot imagine how the king could do this back then.
"Starting from Gusu and heading to Laiguo, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."
Someone muttered quietly.
King Gouchen of Wu actually held meetings very loosely, and did not necessarily require "the names of the emperor and his ministers." Therefore, some of the scholar-bureaucrats would do it according to the etiquette, and some would not do it, but they would not be blamed.
Even if you occasionally whisper in the main hall, you will not be scolded by King Wu.
"Your Majesty."
The doctor who came out before took another step forward and bowed again, "My minister Jia Ren thinks that we can send a 'fierce commander' to Lai. With the reputation of the fierce man of Wu, Lai Zi will definitely treat him as an honored guest!"
“I, Da Wu ‘Walker’, am always a distinguished guest!”
Gou Chen looked around and said in a deep voice.
"Today, the fierce man protects 'Fu Ren', and his reputation spreads far and wide. If he goes to Lai, Laizi also has the surname of Yu, so he will definitely be close to him. If he enters Lai before Ji Xuan, with the ability of the fierce man, he may not be able to conquer the mountains and rivers of Lai."
The attitude towards Li Jie, because he created too many "idiom stories", made all the officials in the country have the same attitude as before.
In the early days, only Dazai Ziqi was there to support him. Many people thought that country people were quite good at flattering and giving gifts.
But things are different now. Nowadays, township entrepreneurs have a pattern of thinking, and they are a talent that can be created and must be vigorously cultivated.
It won't work if you don't train him. He is now a local commander, a formal worker in the Wu Kingdom, and a local figure with real power.
It is not impossible for Yinxiang to become Yinyi, and it is not difficult to see from the king's attitude that it is very likely that rewards and rewards will begin in the spring of next year.
The rhythm has risen, and whoever cannot keep up will not be able to form a deep friendship with the macho Li Jie.
Anyway, Dazai Ziqi no longer needs to do anything. Li Jie is forcing the Yang Kingdom to show its national power. Does his Dazai Ziqi's contribution need to be said more?
The rest must be pretended by others, it is impossible for one person to do it all.
Doctor Jia Ren's idea was not purely to establish friendship with Li Jie. Now that Yiyang Jun Jixuan was about to run away, she must hurry up before him.
Although Master Wang was fierce, pushing and chasing him all the way, Ji Xuan was not really a waste. He was constantly harassed and could delay Master Wang's pursuit no matter what.
He retreated with core strength and was relatively calm.
Moreover, great changes have occurred within the Yancheng Army now. Lord Yiyang may not have been coerced by his subordinates earlier.
But now, in order to survive, the subordinates can only follow the arrangements of Lord Yiyang. Because Lord Yiyang still has more than one way out, Dai Guo has in-laws, and Lai Guo has arrangements, so these original Wu Guo’s subordinates
, there is no other way except relying on the boss Ji Xuan.
Rebellion has only one result for King Gouchen: death!
It's just that it's a bit excessive to ask Li Jie to go to Lai as an envoy now. After all, he just showed off his power to Wu, and he has to go to Lai before he can go home and have a good rest. This is really not considerate enough.
However, it would be more convenient, faster and more effective to send envoys from Gusu to Lai State now than to send people, ships and horses to Biyang State, let Li Jie borrow some manpower from Biyang State, and then send envoys to Lai State.
Soon, Wu King Gouchen made up his mind and prepared to reward Li Jie well after he came back.
The "fierce commander" who was worrying about how to hide Guiyao in Biyang Kingdom suddenly received the order from the king from Gusu, and then he looked confused: "What do you mean? You won't let me go home for the New Year?"
The travelers of "Shi Xie" were also cautious and said to Li: "Commander, this is the king's trust in the commander!"
The "Meng Marshal" was very unhappy and said to his "colleagues" angrily: "Yes, yes, you are right, I will bring my talent to Laiguo, okay?"
