Qin Shiming Moon Dominates the World
Chapter 214 Winter Murder
Daze Mountain.
The cold winter is permeating the mountains, and the shining sun brings warmth to the creatures in the foothills.
The earth was revived with vitality, and the most sacred area of the farmhouse, at this moment, was awe-inspiring to kill.
A large number of elite disciples from the Sixth Farmhouse guarded the main roads of Daze Mountain, waiting, even though they didn't know what they were waiting for?
From the time when the cock crowed, to the beginning of the sun, and then to this moment, they waited for several hours.
In the afternoon, a carriage came first and drove into the mountain.
This carriage is not very eye-catching, and even looks very simple in appearance, like the kind of truck that pulls cargo, but it doesn't smell a bit unpleasant.
Whether it is the person driving this carriage or the distinguished guests in this carriage, the disciples of the farm family seem to have not seen it, continue to guard and witness the carriage to the depths of Daze Mountain.
In the depths of Daze Mountain, near the Liuxian Tomb, the core area of the farmhouse, around an empty house, a carriage was already parked there.
Surrounded by masters of the rivers and lakes, unlike the people in the farm, the people in the house should bring them over.
Zhao Shuang walked out of the carriage, and the Zhu family was already waiting.
The farmer’s Xia Kui did not participate in it, and the master of Shennong Hall was in charge.
Today's Zhu family has completely lost the familiarity of the past, and the facial makeup on his face makes him look very serious.
The Zhu family bowed their hands in salute, and did not have a relationship.
Zhao Shuang bowed his hand in return. After he got out of the carriage, two people walked out of the carriage one after another.
A teenager with a tender face, and a beautiful woman.
The women's dress is not like the Central Plains costumes, and the dresses have obvious local style.Despite this, the other party's clothing style is very restrained, without a trace of nudity, and the whole person is tightly wrapped.
The Zhu family didn't talk much, and led the three of them to the front of the house. They did not walk in with Zhao Shuang, but were guarded outside.
The room was very deserted. In the big room, there were only two people sitting at the moment.
One was Xiang Liang, and the other was a man in luxurious clothes. Seeing the woman behind Zhao Shuang seemed a little surprised.
He understood that for such an important matter, why did Dongyue send a woman?
There were doubts in my heart, but they didn't show it.A man has an extraordinary status in the Chu Kingdom. This can be seen from Xiang Liang's respectful attitude.
"This is the envoy of the Eastern Yue King, Ouyang Zhu."
Zhao Shuang's introduction was very brief. As for the woman, he didn't say anything.Moreover, looking at the other person's appearance, it seems that the guards are first-rate, guarding by the boy.
Zhao Shuang sat between the two, seeming not to want to intervene in the dispute between the two.
In that year, the King of Yue Wujiang was killed, the Yue country was divided, and his royal family moved into the land of Baiyue with their respective officials.The Ouyang clan is one of the descendants of the King of Yue and a prominent clan in the Baiyue area.
Xiang Liang nodded and introduced the man beside him.
"This is my son Chu."
This is a secret meeting, as can be seen from the location and situation of the meeting.After the introduction from Xiang Liang was over, the boy's face was obviously surprised.
He didn't seem to have thought that Chu's messenger would be such a distinguished person.
Ning Chu saw the boy's expression in his eyes, but he didn't take it to heart.Because he knew that the person who really made the decision in this room was not the same prominent teenager.
From the corner of Ning Chu's eyes, he looked at the leader of the Mo family sitting in the middle, who was very calm.
"I Da Chu is willing to make peace with Dong Yue, how about?"
Xiang Liang spoke slowly, which started the meeting.
"Since it is for peace, what are the conditions for Chu State?"
The woman beside the boy spoke and asked for the boy.
Generally, in the confrontation of this kind of meeting, the ministers of the two parties discuss first, and finally let the chief messenger make up his mind.
"The King of Dongyue was relegated to the ruler, and both sides withdrew their troops. We, Chu State, will no longer block Dongyue. The two sides can communicate with each other.
For Chu, the title of King of East Yue was very ear-piercing.Since the Yue State was destroyed, the title of King has not been used in the official documents of Chu State's exchanges with Yue.
The country of Yue has died. This is the perception and attitude of the nations of the world, and in fact it is the same.
The title of Wang is not for casual use.It's like the emperors Qin and Qi Hu quickly removed the emperor title.On the one hand, the king of Qi had listened to the words of Su Dai and wanted to give a hand to the state of Qin. On the other hand, although the two countries of Qin and Qi were both powerful, they did not have the strength to dominate the world and the reputation of the princes. .
To proclaim the emperor is a misnomer.
The name of the Dongyue King is just a grass-to-head king at the moment. Keeping this name means that Tianze has the right to claim the eastern part of Baiyue.
This means that Tianze has the ambition to gather the scattered tribes in the eastern part of Baiyue, and not just settle down as a ruler.
Of course, with the current strength of Tianze, it is far from reaching that point.However, for the Chu State, it was in their interests to maintain the scattered state of the descendants of the King of Yue in the Baiyue area.
This kind of restraint policy is precisely the key to Chu State's stability in Baiyue.In this way, Chu can mobilize most of its power to deal with the threats from the Central Plains countries and Qin.
"The king is irrevocable!"
The woman was very firm with a word.The conditions given by the Chu Kingdom were actually very generous. The Kings of Eastern Yue were built on islands in the sea and needed to trade from Chu to maintain adequate supplies of materials.
Xiang Liang was a little surprised by the other party's resolute attitude. What he didn't expect was that the other party's tone was so hard.
However, the reason given by the other party made Ning Chu unable to refuse.
"In the land of Eastern Yue, although the land is small, there are more people. They need a king, not a ruler, to integrate the power of various places."
The reason Ning Chu could not refuse was that he needed such a force to support him.In order to gain an advantage in the future throne competition in Chu State.
"can!"
Xiang Liang's words made Xiang Liang hesitate. Putting such a result on the court of Chu State, Xiang Liang knew what would happen to the embarrassing position.
He wanted to dissuade him, but Ning Chu had already made up his mind.
"But I want to know how many troops can be integrated under the Dongyue King?"
"Seven thousand navy, three thousand infantry!"
The Vietnamese people are good at making boats, and the navy is powerful.However, the infantry's combat power and equipment are much different from those of the Central Plains countries.
For the entire Dongyue, it is only possible to produce 10,000 horses with a full budget, most of which are still naval forces.
This number is not too far from what Ning Chu had thought.This military strength is actually nothing to the huge Chu State, but it is a boost to Ning Chu.
Ning Chu's complexion changed, and he looked at the young man sitting opposite him.
"I seek the title of king for your monarch and peace for your country. What can you do for me?"
The Chu army conquered Dongyue for a long time, which cost too much.Because the East Vietnam area is mountainous, if the Chu army's infantry attacked the land, the East Vietnam army would abandon the land on the west land and retreat to the sea to defend the enemy with the navy.The people will also retreat to the mountains and lakes to live on fishing, hunting and gathering.
Even if the Chu army destroyed all of their cities, it would not cause a fatal blow to Dong Yue.If it is to attack the Dongyue King City on the sea, it will take a long time to plan and call the navy deployed by Chu State in the Central Plains.
Of course, there is another way for the Chu army, and that is to adopt a beheading tactic, just as Tianze did in the past.Kill a disobedient monarch and replace him with a disobedient person.
However, there are great risks in doing so, especially now.
Ouyang Zhu was a little moved, attached to Chu State, which was of great interest to Dongyue, but when he wanted to say something, Zhao Shuang who had been in the middle coughed slightly.
"Sorry, I got hurt, it's the cold winter again, sorry."
Zhao Shuang's voice interrupted the boy's upcoming voice, and the other party glanced at Zhao Shuang and became restrained again.
"I don't know what the son wants us to do?"
With a slight word, the woman kicked the ball again.
Ning Chu's gaze was taken back from the upper body, and his complexion was a bit ill.
"If the King of Dongyue has my life, all seven thousand navy masters will go north and listen to my orders."
"The son said to obey your orders?"
The woman was obviously a little surprised, but then, Ning Chu told all this in a positive tone.
"Yes!"
"But the East Vietnam's national strength is poor, and long-term foreign operations require a lot of materials."
Battleships, armor, money and food, these things are all things that Dongyue lacks at this moment.
"I can give you ten thousand gold." When Ning Chu said this, he also brought a sentence, "and provide five thousand stone rations to Dongyue a year."
Facing the wealthy and wealthy Young Master Chu, Ouyang Zhu was obviously moved and wanted to agree.
"I......"
At this moment, Zhao Shuang coughed again, interrupting the boy's conversation.
"This matter is very important, I still need to think about it."
Ouyang Zhu said this sentence at the right time, and then flinched back.
The young man's heartbeat is clearly visible.He also believed that Dongyue's high-level officials would agree to his own condition.After opening up to trade, with money in hand, these war materials can naturally be bought.
Seeing that the duck in his hand flew again, Minzu felt a little angry.
"What does the chief think?"
"My Mohist school upholds the principle of both love and non-attack, and does not interfere with the affairs of other countries. The affairs of Dongyue have nothing to do with the Mohist school."
Zhao Shuang's words suppressed the breath in Min Chu's heart again. He looked bad and looked at Ouyang Zhu.
Ten thousand gold, plus five thousand stone rations a year, is a very generous condition, which is very generous for Dongyue.
It's just obvious that this condition was not what the Mohist commander wanted.
"Then Dongyue thinks, what should I do?"
Ouyang Zhu was a little cautious, looking at the ugly face, for fear of offending him.
"My king loves the people and does not want them to suffer from the swordsman. Therefore, our country and Chu can either truce or pay tribute. However, it is absolutely impossible to send troops."
Just as Ouyang's words were just finished, his negative face became very gloomy.For this condition, he has no credit for Chaotang; personally, he has no benefit.
If Ning Chu went back with this result, he would not let the people in the Chu Kingdom scold him to death.
Ning Chu looked at Zhao Shuang with some anger, and the other party was just like a okay person, sitting there, as if nothing happened.
"My lord's words are really good."
At this moment, Zhao Shuang's words of praise attracted everyone's attention.
"The chief thinks this is good?"
Negative's face was anger visible to the naked eye. Obviously, the Mohist commander did not want external forces to enter Dongyue and maintain its independence.
Seeing that only a step away from the breakdown of the negotiations, Zhao Shuang's laughter came.
"Don't you think this is bad?"
Chu State wanted to get rid of the long confrontation with Dongyue and shrink its military strength.Ning Chu needs a force to support his position in Chu State.
However, Dongyue must maintain its crown and obtain allegiance to the people in its jurisdiction.All this comes at a price.
After laughing, Zhao Shuang looked at Minzu and asked a question gently.
"Does the son want to be the king of Chu?"
Such a simple question made the atmosphere in the room very tense.Ouyang Zhu swallowed and spit, seemingly worried. With a negative cry, the masters of the rivers and lakes outside would rush in and kill them all.
It is hard to speak negatively.Of course he wants to be the King of Chu, who doesn't want to be?But the problem is that I can't say this.
Negative hesitation made Zhao Shuang chuckle.
"The prince is not a protagonist or a prince, so what qualifications does he have to inherit the throne of Chu King?"
"Are you mocking me?"
"I dare not go down!"
Zhao Shuang arched his hands slightly, as a gesture of humility.
"Does the prince think that by virtue of his current reputation in the Chu court, he is capable of defeating the prince of Chu in the Chu state?"
"The young man thought that even with the addition of these seven thousand navy troops, with the military strength of the young man, he could defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Chu Kingdom?"
"The prince thinks that getting the name of the barbarians outside is the real reason for raising the armored man inside. It is weaker than others, what good is this behavior?"
After asking again and again, Ning Chu's complexion changed drastically.
Different from the anger just now, he had a sense of alertness at this moment.
"Because the name is true, since the son can't compete with the prince Chu at this moment, why should he choose a virtuous name so that he is jealous of the monarch, and he is actually a disaster?"
"Internally cultivate the virtue and name, and raise the people outside, naturally the people's hearts will be attached, and the four barbarians will follow suit. If the fate belongs to, why should the son care about the length of a time?"
Ning Chu laughed and looked at Zhao Shuang.He told Negumi a simple truth, that is, he needs to keep a low profile at the moment.
"Mister's teaching, I understand."
At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside, and the voice of the Zhu family came from outside.
"A large number of people have broken into the crowd, please move in."
Ning Chu's complexion changed, and he looked at Xiang Liang. The other party had already prepared countermeasures to deal with emergencies and nodded slightly.
Ning Chu felt calm and looked at Zhao Shuang.
"I understand Dongyue's truce. After returning to Chu, I will try my best to persuade my father to negotiate with Dongyue for a truce to alleviate the suffering of the people on the border."
"The son of great virtue."
Zhao Shuang and the others slightly arched their hands and met Xiang Liang to escort Ning Chu away.
The room became quiet for a moment, the woman next to Ouyang Zhu got up and looked at Zhao Shuang.
"The person my king fears, fears and relies on, when I see the final fate today, it is indeed not a mortal."
The woman smiled, her tightly wrapped dress swayed slightly, and her arms were not as white as an ordinary woman, but scales were exposed.
"It's just that the outsider seems to be here for you."
Zhao Shuang smiled, not caring, and said a little.
"so what?"
