After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 415 Test the truth
From the bottom of his heart, Shen Zhuliang didn't believe what the princes said, and he didn't want to believe it. If this was the case, then Han State would be terrible. Wu State in the south destroyed so many vassal states , beat Chu State to the point where he was powerless to fight back.

Such a powerful Wu country was defeated like this?Shen Zhuliang frowned after thinking of this, and said to the Marquis.

"We must do our best to inquire about the news of this matter, the more detailed the better."

After the Marquis left, Gongsun Kuan frowned and said.

"Ling Yin logically speaking, the news came from the Han army, and there is no need for them to lie about such a big matter. Now that Yang Hu is stuck between Chu and Han, he should be more serious than us. Learn about the outcome of the war."

"So we should also send spies to inquire about the news and see what Yang Hu will do next? In this way, we can confirm the truth of the news, but if this matter is true, Ling Yin, then we will take it What should I do next?"

How to do it?Shen Zhuliang smiled wryly, with a look of confusion in his eyes, and then he spoke.

"If the Han Kingdom is really so powerful, I'm afraid we won't be able to go abroad in the future, and there will always be some delay in the news reaching us from the front line. The thing I'm most worried about is that Yang Hu is pretending to be self-reliant."

"In this way, originally we wanted to use him to take back Chu's territory, but now we're just tying ourselves up. Instead, we let Yang Hu take this opportunity to seize a lot of Chu's territory."

And Gongsun Kuan showed an unbelievable expression on his face, and then shook his head quickly.

"We discussed this matter in private, and Yang Hu has already shown his intentions from the very beginning. Unless he can predict the foresight, otherwise, if he does this kind of thing behind the back of the Marquis of Han, how can it end well in the future?"

Shen Zhuliang, on the other hand, sighed lightly, and then showed a helpless smile.

"If the monarch and his ministers get along well, not only will Yang Hu not be punished for doing so, but he will also get the support of the Marquis of Han. We should make two preparations now. On the one hand, we must win Yang Hu, and on the other hand, we must deploy defenses in the Daoshui River area. "

"At that time, we only need to send someone to tell Yang Hu that Chu State needs to show its attitude to win the trust of Han State. If Yang Hu is not in the mainland, it means that this matter is true, otherwise there must be ghosts."

Since there is going to be an accident, an envoy is definitely needed, and Shen Baoxu is naturally the best candidate, so Shen Zhuliang met Shen Baoxu, and when the cause and effect of the incident were explained, Shen Baoxu took a gift and went to Baiju City .

However, when Shen Baoxu set off, a caravan hurriedly drove out from the city of Yingdu. Their speed was very fast, the car was full of goods, and they headed for Baiju City all the way.

At this time, Yang Hu was training his soldiers, and he knew in his heart that since he chose to take this path, he must have the strength to protect himself. No matter how you say it, Chu State is an old-fashioned vassal state, and it still has a deep foundation. .

So he also needs to be fully prepared. At this time, a guard came to report in a hurry.

"The general has a businessman from Hardness, who said that there is a treasure to offer to the general."

After hearing this, Yang Hu showed some impatience, waved his hand and said directly.

"You can go and deal with this matter. If what he asks is not troublesome, then agree to it. If the request is too much, just refuse it."

For these merchants, Yang Hu didn't take them to heart at all, but put all his thoughts on training soldiers.

Then the guard didn't turn around and leave after hearing this, but approached some and whispered.

"This businessman belongs to Mrs. Nanzi, and he said that he has something important to meet with your lord."

Hearing this, Yang Hu frowned, didn't say any more, followed the guards and walked directly towards the government office.

After seeing the businessman, he immediately took out a token. It was an iron token with specially polished patterns on it, which was very delicate. This kind of craftsmanship can only be made by the Han Kingdom at present, and it is impossible to do so. imitation.

When Yang Hu saw the token, he knew that the other party's identity could not be faked, so he frowned and asked.

"Since you came from the capital of Chu State, do you mean that something happened in Chu State?"

The businessman shook his head lightly after listening, and saluted directly.

"This is because we have received the news and we are going abroad to test Yangzi's reaction, because the news of Han's victory over Wu has now reached Chu, which makes Duke Yin Ye of Chu very worried."

"That's why I sent an envoy on purpose to see Yangzi's attitude, because I got the news relatively late, and now the envoy from Chu State is probably only half a day away from Baiju City at most."

On the other hand, Yang Hu's face showed curiosity, and he asked after slightly nodding his head.

"I really didn't expect your people to be able to do this. You can even inquire about the private discussions between the Ling Yin of the State of Chu. I don't know how you did it."

But after the businessman heard this, he smiled slightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Yangzi, the villain is just a secret agent. Like Yangzi, they all work for the Marquis of Han. Everyone is just performing their own duties. From the current point of view, the villain has not been ordered. We need to tell us how we operate. Yangzi."

Yang Hu was taken aback for a moment and then laughed. He glanced at the businessman very appreciatively, nodded and said.

"Yang is a bit abrupt, don't take offense, thank you for rushing to inform this matter, since you are a businessman, if you need any help next, just ask."

The businessman saluted after listening, and then spoke directly.

"The matter has been completed, and the villain will take the first step. Afterwards, the villain will release rumors that Yangzi likes beautiful jade. After the villain donated a piece of beautiful jade, he obtained the right to manage the clothing materials of Baiju City."

Yang Hu nodded and watched him turn and leave, then frowned deeply, he turned his head to look at a group of guards.

This is the captain of the guard that Mengdi specially sent to protect him. His name is Liang Fu. He is very good at swordsmanship. Yang Hu also likes him very much. At this time, he has a problem in his heart, so he asked casually.

"People from the state of Chu want to test my attitude, but I don't know if they have seen something, or they have guessed in private. I don't know what kind of reaction you think I should make is the most appropriate? Let the people of Chu state trust me Is it really independent?"
