At the envoy of the State of Wu in Tancheng, seven or eight warriors met Li Jie head-on. Two or three of them were strangers. They were not followers from the envoy of Biyang State, but were travelers from the envoy of Tancheng.
"Commander, it has been found out that Xuanwuzi's envoy is also in Tancheng!"
"oh?!"
Li Jie's eyes lit up, he raised his hand and touched his thigh, "Gongsun Han's home?"
"Exactly!"
The scarf was pulled down around his neck. The unshaven warrior looked at Li Jie with a solemn expression: "Before, outside the city, Gongsun Han acted in such a lowly manner, so he knew something had changed. He never thought that Xuanwuzi would actually send an envoy to Tan."
"It doesn't matter."
Waving his hand, Li Jie looked calmly and looked at the group of warrior travelers, "Tanzi is old. Although Gongsun Han is not a high-ranking official in the Tan Kingdom, he has never monopolized power. He does not dare to offend Ji Xuan, and he does not dare to offend me."
After standing up and taking two steps, Li Jie said to these travelers: "How many guards are there at Gongsun Han's residence?"
"There are over a hundred disciples and thirty-six swordsmen, all from Yue and Yan."
"How did you arrange the meeting with Tan Zi?"
"Ming Dynasty."
The current Tanzi is already very old. Although he has a good reputation, his body is completely unable to handle a large number of affairs.
Therefore, Tanzi divided a large number of affairs, and in addition to focusing on the general direction, all the corresponding business was delegated to the ministers. Then he appointed a few sons to act on the side, which can be regarded as stable, and small problems will definitely continue.
, but there is no big problem.
The reason why Tan Zi has not abdicated for a long time is also very simple. Wu State is always ready to annex Tan State. Gou Chen is also old, and he wants to leave a more stable territory for his descendants.
To Gouchen, the great monster, the Yue Kingdom in the south, Yangyue, Zhushu, and Nanchao clan in the southwest were all useless and not worth Shifting the center of gravity of the Wu Kingdom.
Only heading north to the Central Plains is the way to truly achieve hegemony.
In fact, both the Wu State and the Chu State have such a clear understanding. The reality is that the population in the south is sparse and the geographical environment is harsh. Most of the millions of people in the Wu State live south of the Yangtze River and north of the Five Lakes.
And with this area as the core, the transportation arteries in Jiangbei area are the elite population areas.
After the Five Lakes, the population quality of Yue State was far inferior to that of Jiangbei, and the climate and geographical environment were more complex and harsh. It was not that Gou Chen looked down upon the land of Yue State, but it was actually Gou Chen himself who did not have the confidence to fight against nature.
Every year when the country of Yue enters a typhoon, it will conduct a large-scale security war in the country and then purchase grain seeds from the country of Wu.
On the contrary, the Jiangbei area has relatively barren land, but the population growth has been quite stable. After hundreds of years of transformation, there are already a considerable number of cities in the areas along the river from Jiangbei to Huaishang.
The so-called "Huaiyi" actually looked more like semi-autonomous "savages" during the reign of the great monster Gouchen. Under extreme circumstances, the Wu Kingdom would also draw troops from the Huaiyi.
The entire Jiangbei region is already operating very well. Although the rebellion of Lord Yiyang occurred, the problem is not serious. After the rebellion is over, production will be resumed, and the total population will not suffer a sharp decline like a catastrophe.
The rebellion of Lord Yiyang was a good opportunity. King Gouchen of Wu could take advantage of the situation to integrate the Jiangbei region and release the power of Huai County and Yancheng. The cities along the Huai River became the rear, while Xu and Tan were naturally the front line.
.
The country of Tan is doomed, and Tanzi knows it.
It's just that Tan Zi obviously didn't want to be the king of the country. He must make arrangements for his funeral before his death. At the same time, he also had to find a way out for his descendants. After his son or grandson was taken in by Wu, he at least could not die and must have certain rights.
The information Li Jie learned through the local envoy made him admire Tan Zi very much.
A virtuous king does not necessarily mean a good man. After Tan Zijimei delegates power, the power of the entire country will obviously be infiltrated. Maybe more than half of the officials are dogs of Wu.
But this does not hinder anything. Tan is a small country, and as long as it can survive, it will be pretty good.
In the opinion of Township Chief Li, Tan Zijimei was showing his attitude to the great monster Gouchen. The country could be destroyed, but Tan Zi's descendants must also have a place to visit their tombs and worship their ancestors.
The "Yunyan clan" can make a living in Yanling. There is no reason why Tan State should be so docile and Wu State should kill them.
"From what you can see, did Gongsun Han collude with Ji Xuan?"
"Commander, even if Gongsun Yonghao colludes with Lord Yiyang, it won't be too serious."
"good."
Li Jie nodded, this is certain.
As for Gongsun Han's extremely despicable attitude, he did not have the courage to give it a try. This is not in line with the character of such a person.
However, there is a high probability that Ji Xuan, an old turtle, must have threatened this coward. Perhaps it would be a combination of coercion and inducement, and the benefits would definitely be given to him.
A villain has a villain's logic of survival. Since Ji Xuan was able to send the envoy here, it might not be impossible to just turn a blind eye to the Tan Kingdom and let Ji Xuan pass smoothly.
For Gongsun Han, this is not a big risk. Such bad money can be eaten.
"Shahem!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Make food immediately and order the Crocodile Man to rest on the spot. There will be work to do in the evening!"
"yes!"
All the envoys from the State of Tan were stunned for a moment, and those from the Yang Kingdom were lucky enough to follow. However, the local envoys from the Tan State did not understand what Li Jie was saying at all.
Because Li Jie and Sha Heng use another dialect, which is a very rare accent in "Shaye".
However, the travelers were very alert and knew what command Commander Meng must have given.
It was night, and the hourglass was still making rustling sounds.
When the gate of the envoy opened and Sha Dong led his team back, he came to Li Jie and saluted: "Sou Li, the situation has been found out. The residence of the senior official of Tan State is here."
As he spoke, Sha Dong took out a sketch, in which a location was specially marked.
Sha Dong clicked on it: "The envoy from Yancheng sleeps here."
"Have you selected those who have no quemong in the 'Yi Dan Camp'?"
"Standing in court."
"Okay." Li Jie waved his hand, "Go down and rest."
"yes."
Although his eyes were eager and he wanted to follow him to perform the mission, Sha Dong still followed Li Jie's orders seriously.
clatter.
The hourglass was turned around. After putting the hourglass in place, Shang Xiaomei took out the helmet and held it in her hands. Then she knelt down and sat down next to Li Jie: "Young man attacked the senior doctor of Tan State at night. How should you explain to Tan Zi tomorrow?"
"I am a fierce and handsome man who has been acting all his life... Has Shang Ji gained a little weight?"
Under the light, Miss Shang's face seemed to be really rounded. Mayor Li stretched out his hand and pinched it, "This is the best. If you feel fleshy and look thin, you are the best woman."
Miss Shang smiled happily and said happily: "It's a pity that Tan City is not beautiful. I searched all over the city, but all of them are mediocre and vulgar."
"I heard that there are stunning beauties visiting Laiguo, so I must take a look at them from a distance."
"Why do you, a gentleman, look from afar?"
"On this mission to Lai, there will be no fighting or killing. Just watch from a distance."
"Gentleman, please rest assured. If there is someone who is stunningly beautiful in the world, why bother looking at her from a distance? Princess Chen can still be played with, but how does this compare to the poverty of Lai?"
"Hahahaha...good!"
After saying that, Li Jie let Shang Xiaomei put the helmet on him, straightened his armor, then stood up, picked up his weapon, and walked out. He looked around at the dozens of warriors in the court and said loudly: "Tonight it will be done, tomorrow I will
I will report it to Tanzi Ming, and all the prostitutes in the city can enjoy them!"
