After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 283
After hearing this, Yu Rang nodded slowly, and said in a tone of appreciation.

"This Le Ziming's expression is very resolute, which shows that he already has the will to die. Under such circumstances, if he is allowed to return to Shangqiu, it will definitely prevent the people in the city from desperately resisting, and I am afraid that he will be left in the camp. Only then."

Meng Di shook his head after listening, he had no such intention, so he spoke his mind.

"Among Le Ziming's entourage, there must be people from the Marquis of Song. You can send someone to contact them. It's just a general idea, that is, as long as Song Guo is willing to recognize the Emperor Zhou of Huai City."

"And cede the land south of Xiao County to us, then our Han country will stop fighting. If this happens, Le Ziming may not have a good end after returning to Shangqiu. At that time, the matter of attacking Shangqiu will be handed over to the Lu people. Do."

"As for the money and beauties they sent this time, the order will be passed down. For those who are brave in this battle, these beauties will be distributed according to the size of their merits. Each person will get one beauty, but they can't be distributed now. Wait until you return to Huai City. .”

After hearing this, Emperor Shi's face showed excitement, and he asked with a grin.

"My lord, can we generals be selected first?"

Seeing Shi Huang's anxious expression, Meng Di just smiled, and immediately agreed and said.

"Of course there's nothing wrong with it, but this time it's not your turn to be the number one. Yang Hu fought hard for us in the back and guaranteed the supply of the army, so he should be the first choice."

Naturally, a beautiful woman would not make Emperor Shi so excited. What he was happy about was that Meng Di would distribute these beauties, which showed that until now, Meng Di still maintained a strong enterprising spirit.

Wu State Helu City.

Zixi sent Shen Yinxu's son, Shen Zhuliang, to the Wu army's camp with a lot of money and beautiful women. The person who came to greet him was naturally Bo Pi. After the two met, Shen Zhuliang smiled and said.

"I have met Mr. Xiangguo, and I heard that King Wu likes singing and dancing, so our king specially selected some beauties who are good at singing and dancing, and sent them to King Wu. He wants to use this to make peace with the country of Wu. I don't know Mr. Xiangguo. What's your suggestion?"

This is throwing stones to ask for directions, after Bo Pi heard this, he said with a smile on his face.

"If it wasn't because Bai Gongsheng returned to Chu, how could you easily win this time? Bai Gongsheng has been in Wu for many years, and my king treated him well. I never thought that he would choose to return to Chu at this time."

"It's really hateful to think about it. This kind of hatred has not been eliminated. Ye Gong came here to make our Chu country stop fighting and make peace? How big does Ye Gong think it will be?"

After hearing this, Shen Zhuliang didn't show any panic on his face, and he didn't answer the question. Instead, he moved away, pointed to the pair of carriages behind him, and answered the wrong question.

"Back then, regarding the matter of Bo's family, the king felt that he was a little too hasty. He should not let Nangwa do whatever he wanted, so that such a big change occurred in Chu State, so he felt a little uneasy, and specially ordered him to send something to express his apology. .”

Seeing those carriages, Bo Pi showed satisfaction on his face, nodded understandingly, and said calmly.

"There are some things that cannot be discussed, it depends on the sincerity of Chu State, but now my Wu State has signed a treaty with Han State to jointly attack Chu State, so this matter is not up to my king alone."

After raising the Han Kingdom, Shen Zhuliang showed a worried look on his face, and then reminded him.

"How come, Mr. Xiangguo has not aroused enough vigilance now? Jin has been the hegemon for more than a hundred years. Now, although there is internal turmoil in Jin, Qi led the princes' coalition forces to conquer repeatedly, and they were defeated twice."

"However, under such circumstances, the Marquis of Han was able to lead his troops to defeat the Jin army twice. Doesn't the State of Wu feel worried about such a force? Moreover, the State of Han set up a new city on the border of the State of Wu, nominally for the sake of trade. use."

"But what is the actual situation? Wu Guo sells Wuzhu and exquisite pottery to Han Guo. These are very rare and high-quality goods, but what do you get from Han Guo? It's just some daily necessities."

"Besides, the state of Han can sell Wuzhu and exquisite pottery to other vassal states and earn more profits. If things go on like this, the state of Han will benefit a lot, while the state of Wu will benefit less. This is not a good thing. ah."

After Bo Pi heard this, his heart was moved, but his face remained calm, and he said with a slight smile.

"You can't say that. The Mongolian baijiu in the south is basically exported from my country of Wu. It is quite profitable. How can it be said that it is not good for the country of Wu? Ye Gong should not use such divisive tactics."

"Whether there is a truce between Chu State and Wu State now, the most important point is Chao County. If Chu State can withdraw from this place, then our Wu State will have an extra layer of protection, so that we can express enough sincerity of Chu State. "

After Shen Zhuliang heard this, he thought about it for a while. Now Chu County is in the hands of Wu Jun. Although Chao County is relatively important in terms of material, it is already in a state of two-line attack. If it lasts for a long time, it may be difficult to defend.

The most important thing is that Chu State now needs time to recover its strength. Thinking of Zixi's confession before leaving, Shen Zhuliang knew it well, but he didn't agree on the spot, but said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiangguo, for your reminder. If Chu State can make peace with Wu Guo this time, then Chu State will present a gift to Mr. Xiangguo as a reward for Mr. Xiangguo's kindness."

Bo Pi nodded slightly, and then stopped talking. He has his own views on Chu and Han. Han's current energy is mainly focused on the north, and weakening Jin is naturally beneficial to Wu.

But the state of Chu is different. After Wu Zixu’s troops broke Yingdu, King Chu Zhao finally had to build another Yingdu. This is already a national enmity. The state of Wu is bound to be in danger.

So the temporary retreat is only for the next step of a more powerful attack, but if he can use Chu to get more benefits from Han, it is naturally a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, so he is also willing to temporarily truce with Chu.

And from this matter, Bo Pi can also receive more benefits from the envoys of Chu and Han.
