In the south of Li, the young people from all over the five lakes gathered in their own villages. The Wu people had mixed accents, and it was quite inconvenient to communicate with each other. Therefore, the "Nei Shu" who contacted the young people in various places were all outstanding young people who were proficient in the local dialects.
If you don't have much family strength, you just choose to have a knife in your crotch. As long as the castration technique is in place, there is a high probability that you can survive. As long as you survive, you will be a rare talent in the palace.
Those who are capable spend their entire teenage years running errands outside the palace, and are then selected as grassroots officials based on their performance after evaluation.
Whether you can become a "scholar" or not depends on your military exploits.
This year's "inside vertical" competition is under the greatest pressure because there are so many competitors.
Originally, there were hundreds of elites hurting each other there, but now it's different. "Common people" are worse than dogs!
"Report good news on Huaihe River"
"Good news from Huaishang?!"
The fake "Da Chang Attendant" Chang Jie was very surprised. After leading someone to check the identity of "Qizhuan", he immediately said, "Follow me to see the king!"
"Hi!"
Ordinary good news, as a fake "Da Chang Shi", Chang Jie can still get by.
But the good news from Huaishang was a little different. He didn't dare to take action. He had to take people to the King of Wu in person so that the King of Wu could see the good news with his own eyes.
In a hurry, "Nei Shu" passed the news to King Wu Gouchen in the military camp.
The weather was good and bad, the plums and peaches were ripe, and there were a lot to eat. The old monster organized people to pick local fruits, and then rewarded them to the newly promoted "Shu Changji Shi".
And these "common people" are also very good at being good people. They brought fruits back to their fellow villagers and gave each of them a bite. Hundreds of people shared some fruits, and they were all very happy.
"Your Majesty! Good news from Huaishang, Dachang Shijie is coming with the 'Qizhuan'."
"oh?!"
Gou Chen, who was resting on his forehead, suddenly became energetic, coughed twice, raised his hand, and said with great interest: "If that's it, just bring him in."
"Hi!"
Soon, Chang Jie, who was walking very quickly, took "Qizhuan" into the camp. Li's city was well built, but Gouchen did not live in the city. Instead, he camped outside the city like the soldiers.
"Your Majesty, Huai..."
"Bring it in."
Gou Chen watched with a smile as "Qizhuan" awarded the good news. After checking the wax seal, he opened it with an "inner vertical" and carefully pulled out a piece of paper.
Then he placed the scroll paper on the desk in front of Gou Chen with both hands. Wu Wang Gou Chen's original tired spirit had been wiped away. After opening the scroll paper, Gou Chen first spoke in admiration: "Although Li Jie is
'Shaye' is a bitch, but she is loyal. Paper is expensive in Gusu, thousands of miles away from the Huaihe River, and the good news is still on white paper, which makes me very happy."
After King Wu said these words, Chang Jie, the fake "Da Chang Shi" standing at the bottom, couldn't help but close his eyes, and then gritted his teeth to prevent any expression on his face.
"Hahahahahaha...cough, cough, cough..."
First he laughed, then he covered his mouth and coughed several times. He felt his palms were warm and moist. When Gou Chen lowered his head, he saw blood.
He smiled, grabbed the silk scarf on the desk and wiped it a little, then raised his head and asked Chang Jie: "Is there any blood stain on the corner of my mouth?"
Chang Jie did not dare to look directly at Gou Chen. He glanced quickly, then lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have wiped it clean."
"Um."
Nodding, Gou Chen casually threw the blood-stained silk scarf on the table, and then praised: "In this world, there is no one who can rival me. I am... lonely."
After saying this, Gou Chen casually ordered: "Send orders to all the armies and all the 'common and regular Jishi', Li Jie, the son of Jiangyin, conquer Xincai and promote the prestige of our great state of Wu!"
"Hi!"
When Chang Jie responded, his whole head was buzzing.
Conquer Xincai?!
Is this the end of Cai?!
Have you captured Cai Hou?!
How much land of Cai State was conquered?!
Don't know, don't know anything.
It's just that the things that Chang Jie cares about are completely meaningless to Gou Chen.
These are minutiae, hegemony establishment, what not?!
"A young boy from the Yue Kingdom can be the charioteer of a few people."
As soon as these words came out, the three armies were shocked, and their morale soared to the extreme.
The King of Suzhou's army marched out in full force, and soldiers and civilians camped for fifty miles. The starting point of the war to destroy Vietnam was right at our feet.
"Take the stone! Your Majesty wants to make Yue's boy your charioteer!"
The craftsmen accompanying the army immediately began to quarry stones and carve words. On the huge stone, there were only two words: Yu'er.
When Wang Jia passed by the carved stone, Gou Chen didn't even look at it. He walked directly to the generals and said calmly: "In the camp just now, I was very happy to see the victory on the Huaihe River, but I vomited blood at the mouth. I guess... I will die.
Coming soon."
"King!"
"Kings!"
…
Gou Chen looked around at the generals, some of them were young, full of energy, and dared to fight; some were as old and frail as him, with white hair on their heads, but their eyes were calm and their demeanor was steady; some were in their forties,
The courage is still there, the blood is still there...
Glancing over, Gou Chen held the car in his hands and said calmly: "My life span is nine out of fifty, which is less than sixty years old. It's a pity. Today we are destroying Yue, so you gentlemen... will destroy Yue to wish me ninety years old!"
Without waiting for the ministers and generals to respond, Gou Chen took out the sword from his waist and raised it to the sky: "Destroy Yue!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...
The war drums finally sounded, and what seemed like a hasty operation to destroy the Vietnamese was actually full of strange preparations.
The march of the King's Division of Gusu to Li was certainly extremely hasty, but as soon as the royal order of "Commons and Changjishi" came out, all haste was no longer a problem.
The young people gathered together, and there were many people who circled the five lakes and even traveled across the five lakes.
At this moment, the scale of logistics is unprecedented.
Wu King Gouchen even gave the Yue Kingdom enough time to prepare, allowing the Yue Kingdom to gather an army and strengthen the walls of the camp!
Even Wu King Gouchen knew better that at this moment, the Yue State even called on all the tribes in the mountainous areas and recalled all the garrison troops in the cities back to Kuaiji.
The troops of the Yue State heading to Kuaiji and Zhejiang River are the largest force that the State of Yue can muster now.
If you squeeze it again, there will be nothing left.
However, for Gou Chen, what he wanted was for the Yue State to concentrate its power.
They were all scattered, and he didn't have the patience to attack the city.
He wanted to see Kuaiji fall, and he wanted to see the Yue Kingdom perish.
Before dying, to avoid future troubles.
Along the Zhejiang River, across the "natural barrier", the Yue troops on the south bank could feel an unprecedented murderous aura.
The strict military formation of Wu State actually made people feel cool in such hot weather.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
The sound of war drums from far to near, the infantry phalanx from far to near, the King of Wu and Wang Jia of the Chinese army are extremely conspicuous. There are not many guards guarding Wang Jia. However, the more so, the more it makes people look across the river.
