Anyway, bragging does not pay taxes. Wei Yu also knows the current mentality of the people of Lu, and is waiting for the great, bright and correct man Li Jie to come to rescue him.
So he simply let go of the bragging, but Wei Yu didn't expect that if he dared to brag, this "pink hunk" from the Lu country would really dare to believe it.
"Once you pass Yishan Mountain, you will reach Zoucheng."
As a senior official in Zouyi of the State of Lu, Zihe was naturally quite familiar with the situation in his country.
Although the political concept of Zou State was still retained at this time, basically the king of Zou State was equivalent to a minister of Lu State, but a rather special minister.
The sovereignty of the entire country of Zou is not in its own hands, but in the hands of Lu.
All diplomatic powers are also controlled by the Lu State. It is only a matter of time before it completely becomes a part of the Lu State.
Therefore, when Zihe introduced Yishan and Zoucheng, he did not mean to be an outsider, but as a landlord, and when he introduced them to Wei Yu, he did not feel any discomfort at all.
Wei Yu looked at his eyes, nose and heart, and sighed in his heart, despite the fact that the kings of the Lu Kingdom hugged each other's thighs for generations, their appearance was really no better than that of a hegemon-level country.
They also annexed and annexed the surrounding countries. The Song State had all kinds of indigestion, while the Lu State had no trouble at all. The biggest difference is probably the international reputation of the Song and Lu countries.
In fact, when he arrived in Fucheng with some migrant workers from Suishui, Wei Yu already knew that a large area of land near the states of Lan and Xiaozhu originally belonged to the Song Dynasty.
In other words, the Song Dynasty had a large enclave east of Surabaya.
As long as he slightly reorganized the terrain distribution in his mind, Wei Yu discovered that if his boss Li Jie hadn't won the first Yang Yang War, the current situation would be really hard to predict.
Because the Song State must open up all the land on both sides of the Surabaya River, and a waste country like Xue State is also the Song State's trash can. From the perspective of the entire geographical environment, the Lu State has fallen into a bad geopolitical environment in advance between Qi and Song Dynasty.
.
It is precisely because Li Jie won the first forced Yang War, and Li Jie was a native of Wu, that the Song State was unable to dismount. In the second forced Yang War, aside from various political and diplomatic interests, the Song State
If the original copy is not restored as soon as possible, the entire land east of Surabaya will be lost.
The defeat of the Second Forced Yang War seemed like a defeat to cede the eastern lands, but in essence it only accelerated the process.
The prince of the Song Dynasty at that time, Li Fei, did not have any major problems in strategic decision-making.
Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful the ideal is, it is in vain. The reality is extremely cruel, even a little cruel.
"There are lush forests on all sides of Mount Yi. Why hasn't the State of Lu cut them down and transported them to Qufu?"
"Zilou Yi is close to Sishui. Nowadays, all the wood needed for the military is harvested from Nishan."
After a brief explanation, Zihe added, "It's just a matter of haste. The construction of the military stronghold in Sibei was slow, so the cost of wood was naturally a little less."
"oh?"
Wei Yu's eyes lit up, and then he smiled and said, "To be honest, I was the ambassador of Suishui River Engineering in my homeland. I have some experience in civil engineering and construction."
"Oh, why didn't Mr. Ziyu say something earlier? If I had known that Mr. Ziyu was good at building construction, wouldn't it be nice to have sent people to Qufu early that day to report to Mr. Ming, and then ask Mr. Ziyu to give advice on everything in the military stronghold in Sibei?"
"If Yu is a foreign traveler, if he is handling old affairs in the state of Lu, he will be like a cook in a restaurant, where the guests cook for him?"
"You are a sincere and upright man. Now that the military situation is urgent, how can you treat it with common sense? Mr. Ziyu, I have heard for a long time that the craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty is the best among the countries. No matter the utensils or buildings, they are not common things. Since you are a civil engineer in Suishui
The construction ambassador is in charge of all construction matters. He is a strong and capable person and should be reused."
Hearing that Wei Yu was actually a leader at the Suishui construction site, Zihe, the official of Zouyi, was really overjoyed. This was a credit that fell from the sky.
His son He recommended Wei Yu to the monarch. As long as he accelerated the construction of military strongholds and fortifications, the merit of his recommendation would be certain.
Ever since, the two of them started chatting and finalized some details.
In Zihe's opinion, Wei Yu is really a real person.
He was a native of Jin, and he was a son of the Wei family who worked under Wei Cao. But when he decided to contribute his talents to Li Jie, the then Bodhisattva of Huaishui, he did not say that he would serve Li Jie alone, but that he would serve Li Jie alone.
The clan went south.
The whole family, old and young, all went to settle in Huaizhong City.
What does this mean?
This shows that Wei Yu is a serious person. Since he has decided to work for Li, he must leave no way out and avoid making people suspicious.
Serve your new boss wholeheartedly.
Anyway, from Zihe's point of view, Wei Ziyu is a man of noble character, nothing to say!
If such a person can be persuaded to come to work in the State of Lu, then why not continue to move the family from Huaizhong City to Qufu in the State of Lu?
Of course, Zihe had never thought about why a good Jin man would want to go south and hang out with a barbarian leader?
Has he lost his mind and gone crazy?
More importantly, even if you are crazy alone, why should you harm the whole family?
From north to south, thousands of miles away, who knows what will happen on the road?
Not to mention that along the way, there are all kinds of barbarians and savages who have been bankrupt for three generations. Let’s just say that this country is not accustomed to the local environment.
As long as you get hit once, isn't it a matter of death these days?
It's scary to think about it.
But it was because it was so scary to think about it that Zihe, the senior official in Zouyi, felt that Wei Ziyu’s spirit was so valuable!
There are not many honest people like Wei Ziyu these days.
As for Wei Yu, the more he talked with Zihe, the more he felt that there are not many honest people like Zihe these days!
"Brother Shu Liang, I haven't asked you yet, where are the Qi National Congress Alliance troops at this time?"
After the two got acquainted, although they were still a little uncomfortable with the "pink hunk", Wei Yu still had a great time chatting with Zihe.
Zihe's courtesy name was Shuliang. During the Song Dynasty, he also had the name "Xuange Heizhi", so in Zouyi, people still respectfully called him "Doctor Heizhi".
However, Wei Yu did not call Zihe by the name of the Song Dynasty. Before coming, he had studied the habits of several capable people in the Lu Kingdom, and coupled with some information provided by Yang Ju, Wei Yu judged that Zihe, this person, was very important to his mother country.
I basically don’t have a good impression of the Song Dynasty.
That is to say, the Lu State has little strength now. If it really had strength, and Song and Lu fought, Zihe might be willing to be the vanguard.
"The main force is still in Wuyan and has not crossed the Wenshui River. However, there are already soldiers from the Allied Forces who have gone up to the Wenshui River. If they have to come to meet Ziyu Jun, I have already invited myself to Yangguan to prevent Qi from taking advantage of Liang.
Father Mountain!”
"Except for the State of Qi, where are the military camps of other countries located?"
"I don't know. Can Mr. Ziyu give me some advice?"
Seeing that Wei Yu asked such detailed questions, I knew there was a reason without even thinking about it.
In Zihe's opinion, if the man Li Jie is so good at fighting, then the level of his subordinates, who have never eaten pork and seen pigs running, will definitely not be any worse.
Besides, Wei Ziyu is such an honest person and comes from the Wei family of the Jin Dynasty. He must have unique ways to win against the enemy.
"Brother Shu Liang, if it's convenient, please help me inquire."
"Allied forces arrangement?"
"Exactly."
"Well..." Zihe thought for a while and then said, "This is easy!"
Seeing how confident this "pink hunk" was, Wei Yu was very happy and quickly said with a smile: "Then there is Uncle Lao and Brother Liang!"
After settling down in Zoucheng to rest, the next morning, Wei Yu suddenly discovered that Zihe, the "pink tough guy", actually left Zoucheng overnight, and his subordinates said he went to Qufu.
This made Wei Yu feel very strange, what do you mean, we had a good chat yesterday, why did we have to run away all night?
But it didn't matter. After washing up briefly, Wei Yu continued to follow the Lu people to Qufu.
At almost noon, the team arrived at the "Land of Qunan". When the local villagers heard that it was a team of envoys from the Hanzi Kingdom, they immediately prepared wine and food.
As soon as the banquet started, Doctor Zouyi's men came running to report the matter.
"What?! Brother Shuliang... went to Wenshui in person to investigate the military situation of Qi?"
