After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 284 Insufficient Greed
King Wu Fucha was not interested in the money sent by Shen Zhuliang. What caught his eye was the dancers and singers, all of whom were carefully selected, regardless of their appearance and figure. Quite useful.

After Shen Zhuliang withdrew, King Wu Fucha squinted his eyes and considered for a while, then spoke.

"Chu State wants to make peace with us now, what do you think?"

Naturally, Bo Pi didn't mainly ask him this question, so he didn't open his mouth to speak. After hearing this, the prince friend next to him thought for a while and made up his mind before answering.

"At this time, negotiating peace with Chu State is naturally a good thing for Wu State. Now we have just won a large area of ​​Chu State's territory. It takes time to manage and multiply. After three to five years, wait until these areas are settled down. .”

"Then the strength of our country of Wu will increase at that time, and now that the country of Wu has been fighting for years, the soldiers are already exhausted. Under such circumstances, the most important thing is to recuperate, so that the country of Wu can maintain its current strength."

This remark made King Wu Fuchai feel like Wu Zixu no matter how he heard it, and he sighed in his heart. When He Lu was in power, Fuchai had little hope of becoming the prince. It was because of Wu Zixu's full support that he became the prince. Prince.

In order to show his closeness, Husband asked his son to follow Wu Zixu to learn how to govern the country. Unexpectedly, Prince You followed Wu Zixu for a while, and now he acts more and more like Wu Zixu in his vision and views.

This made Fu Chai dislike it very much, but among his many sons, the prince had a pure heart and good ability, but he lacked the enterprising spirit, which made him very relieved. Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said.

"The soldiers are tired, so there are not enough rewards. This time we won such a large territory, and now Chu State has sent a lot of money. This king is going to reward these things, and the morale will definitely rise."

"Now the state of Wu is advancing, how can you stop at this time? As a prince, sometimes you have to take a long-term view when doing things. Our state of Wu took Yingdu and took away the state of Chu. A lot of money for people."

"Under such circumstances, the state of Wu and the state of Chu have formed a deadly enmity. A short-term peace negotiation will not change the final result. If you become careless because of this, then the state of Wu will be in danger of being destroyed. !"

Prince friend did not dare to argue after hearing this, but could only bow his head silently to express his submission.

Seeing this, Bo Pi hurriedly took a step forward to rescue the Prince friend, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the beauties sent by the people abroad are all the top choices. Why don't you take advantage of this time to watch the singing and dancing, relieve your mood, and let the soldiers rest here for a few days."

"The prince is also worried that they are too tired. If something goes wrong during the battle, it is naturally a good intention. It is also beneficial to temporarily cease the war with Chu at this time, that is, it can take down all the small countries around."

"At the same time, we can manage the newly acquired land. After we are fully prepared, we can then attack Chu State, and the Han State has agreed with us before that we will join forces to deal with Chu State, but until now, the Han State has not moved. "

"Although it is said that the city of Xue was captured before, it was also for the safety of Han. Under such circumstances, the king can send someone to Huaicheng. It is said that it will cost a lot for Wu to attack Chu. .”

"Let the Marquis of Han place the new city under the jurisdiction of our Wu State. In this way, our Wu State will be able to obtain a source of wealth, and then we can use this money to reward soldiers and boost morale."

Fu Chai, the king of Wu, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head slightly, and then spoke.

"If this is the case, the sea monkey will definitely be dissatisfied with Wu Guo because of the new city. Even if we want to take this place, we have to wait. At least it will be possible after we withdraw to Helu City .”

He knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to win the new city, he had to use his strength to speak. After all, after the city was established, it quickly became a commercial center, which made Fucha envious, and he would naturally make up his mind.

At this time, Bo Pi smiled and said with a treacherous expression.

"Judging from Hanhou's behavior style, I am afraid that he will not be willing to let the new city fall into the control of our country Wu. The reason why I propose this is because I want Hanhou to provide us with a free supply of supplies at this time. "

"Especially Mongolian Baijiu, the soldiers in the army like it very much. Having such a fine wine reward will definitely boost morale. In this way, our country of Wu can get a benefit for nothing, and it can also maintain the relationship between the country of Wu and the country of Han. between the agreement."

This made Fu Chai feel a little dissatisfied, so he said with a displeasure on his face, frowning.

"Could it be that we can't think of a way to win the new city? I heard that this city can make a lot of money just by paying taxes. If it can fall under the control of my country, Wu, it will definitely greatly improve the national power."

After taking so many benefits from Yidun, the effect is now manifested at this time. After hearing this, Bo Pi's performance took a turn. He knew very well in his heart why the new city was so prosperous.

The most important thing is that there are a large number of goods shipped from Huaicheng. Without these things, the new city will soon decline, so it is naturally impossible for him to support Fucha to seize the new city at this time, so he said.

"The new city is the best, but we can't turn against Han because of this. After all, our most important enemy is Chu. If Chu and Han join forces at this time, our situation in Wu will become precarious. "

"At this time, the immediate benefit is the most important thing. If in the future, after our country Wu wins the country of Chu, the king will not want a new city, even if he wants to win the country of Han, it will be a piece of cake. .”

After hearing such an explanation, Fu Chai, the king of Wu, felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and nodded slightly.

"It's still better for you to understand what this king is thinking. If this is the case, follow what you said, and send another person to tell Bai Gongsheng that this time this king has given him such a good opportunity, so he must make good use of it."

"Especially during this period of time, we can't let the state of Chu sit idle. It's best to continue to launch wars abroad. In this way, when we are ready to attack the state of Chu again, it will be much easier."

Bo Pi immediately agreed after listening, but he was thinking about how much benefit he could get.
