I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 261 Lobbying is Really Difficult
The king of Chu held a banquet to reward the three armies, and the whole Qianxi River suddenly became very lively.

But not everyone is enjoying the excitement.

Besides Li Ran, there were actually two other people who were also worried about this.

One is Wu She.

The other one is Shen Wuyu.

Not long after Li Ran returned to his camp, the two came to visit him one after the other.

At this time, Shen Wuyu's official position in the state of Chu was not high. Compared with Wu Ju's son, Wu She, the so-called people were soft-spoken, and the status of the two of them was quite different.Therefore, Shen Wuyu came after Wu She.

This is not the first time Li Ran has seen these two people.

When it was about how to make the envoys of various countries hand over the command of the frontline operations, Shen Wuyu had come forward to analyze Li Ran's plan, and Li Ran also noticed this person at the time.

As for Wu She, that's not unfamiliar.

As the son of Wu Ju, it is impossible for Li Ran not to have heard of it.

However, Li Ran did not expect that the two of them would make a special trip to visit him.

"Luxu came here rashly, there are many disturbances, I hope you don't blame me."

Wu She greeted first, with a calm tone and a sincere attitude.

"Don't you dare? I don't know what is the important thing for you two to come here?"

Li Ran didn't talk nonsense, and after cupping his hands, he motioned for the two of them to come in and sit down.

The three sat down, Wu She and Shen Wuyu looked at each other again, and finally Shen Wuyu cupped his hands towards Li Ran and said:
"Ming Gong, the king wants to reward the three armies today, and the two of us think it's inappropriate. Thinking that our country of Chu is so despicable, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sustain our national strength. Now it's the year of the army, if it drags down the people like this, our Chu country will suffer. The danger of collapse..."

"Since Duke Ming is a distinguished guest of the King of Chu, he didn't speak at the banquet today. I think there must be a reason for this, so Wu Yute came to ask for advice."

Today's matter, in fact, for Li Ran, there is nothing to talk about.

He didn't need to explain to anyone.

But for sensitive people like Wu She and Shen Wuyu, the harm of King Chu's move is completely foreseeable.

If you win a battle, you will naturally have to be rewarded, but the method and amount of this reward still need to be considered.

If King Chu is as arrogant as this time every time, how many families in Chu State can stand up to his extravagance?
Li Ran is a wise man, so how could he fail to see through this?
However, Li Ran did not remind King Chu at today's banquet that this kind of inaction actually does not conform to Li Ran's usual personality.

What's more, Chu State has used troops abroad several times now, and Li Ran participated in all of them.Therefore, when Li Ran chose not to speak at this time, in the eyes of the two of them, it was inevitable that he intended to harm Chu State deliberately.

"Hehe, what should I do? So I came here to sin against me? From this point of view, the two of you are people with a heart. However, I think this matter should not be rushed. Now the king is on his head. At this time Talking about it won't help."

"Since the two of you can see this, it is enough to show that you are also knowledgeable people. If this is the case, you should know the difficulty of 'persuading'? What's more, the person who needs to be advised now is this King of the country?"

"Xu Buwen, the husband dragon is also a big insect, soft enough to be plucked and ridden on. However, there are rebellious scales under its throat. If someone disobeys it, it will kill people. The owner is a dragon, so it also has rebellious scales. Therefore, people Master's Ni Lin, it's better to touch it less. Hehe, it's better to touch it less!"

Li Ran's answer can be said to be very thorough, and at the same time it can be regarded as a reminder to them.

At this time, it is best not to anger the King of Chu.

"But... since we eat the king's salary, we should take the great plan of Chu as the most important thing!"

"Now the king is not sparing the power of the people and spending too much, which will inevitably bring disaster to the people in the future, so how can we turn a blind eye?"

Shen Wuyu was very stubborn. In his opinion, this matter must be clearly explained to the King of Chu, at least he should fulfill his duty as a courtier.

This is actually true.

His thinking is also commendable.

Unfortunately, he didn't want to understand something.

"If the doctor insists on offending Yan Zhijian, it will be the doctor who will suffer in the end. How can the doctor be loyal to the country then?"

"If the doctor really cares about the state of Chu and endures the calm for a while, it won't be too late to make a fuss after this matter is settled?"

Li Ran is clear about the staunchness of the Chu people.

So he didn't intend to prevent Shen Wuyu from going to persuade him, but just advised him to go later.

After all, to persuade the King of Chu at this time is tantamount to touching his rebellious scales.

In the end, it can only be that the king of Chu is very angry, and the consequences are very serious.

Wu She also nodded at this time and said:
"That's exactly what Mr. said."

"Your Majesty Chongwu is warlike, and he is a generation of heroes who can open up territories."

"But if..."

At this point, Wu She tactfully did not continue.

Shen Wuyu nodded when he heard the sound, his face was also full of worry.

At this time, Li Ran looked at the two of them and said:
"You two came here today, it's not just for this matter, right?"

After his words fell, Wu She and Shen Wuyu looked at each other again.

Wu She cupped her hands towards Li Ran and said:
"Minggong is unparalleled in wisdom and has good friends with the widow, so the two of us also ask Minggong to speak out and persuade the king, so that we can teach him as soon as possible."

It turned out that these two people came to invite Li Ran to come forward to persuade the king of Chu's class teacher to return to Yingdu.

"Your Majesty personally marched, and the army has been stationed in Qianxi for more than ten days. Now that the battle on the front line has been won, and people's hearts have returned, there is no need for the [-] army to continue to stay here."

"and……"

At this point, Wu She suddenly stopped.

Shen Wuyu took the conversation, and said with a worried look on his brows:
"Furthermore, Your Majesty Chongwu is warlike. If you don't return, you will start another war. If our Chu soldiers continue to be in trouble, people's hearts will be unstable, and there may be accidents!"

"At that time, the country will not be a country if there is civil strife caused by foreign wars!"

Shen Wuyu's stamina is reflected in his daring to say anything.

This kind of talk is here, if it is in other places, it is more than enough to lose his head ten times.

But what he said was not wrong.

It is nothing new for the king of Chu to be warlike.

Since he came to the throne, the wars in Chu State have almost never stopped. Although they have won all of them, the consumption of Chu State's national strength by successive years of war can be seen with the naked eye.

Shen Wuyu's worries were not unreasonable.

However, this kind of worry obviously cannot be said in front of King Chu.

But now the only one who can persuade the King of Chu in front of the King of Chu is Li Ran.

Therefore, the reason why Wu She and Shen Wuyu came together today is to let Li Ran persuade the King of Chu, end the war as soon as possible, and give the people of Chu a chance to breathe.

"Actually...to tell you the truth, as early as in Zhanghuatai, I already persuaded the King of Chu not to mobilize people like this."

"It's just that both of you must have seen it. In the end, King Chu decided to lead the army to Qianxi."

Li Ran spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.

Then, he sighed slightly:

"Now that the King of Chu has come here personally, and suddenly heard the great victory in front of him, although the monarch and his ministers are enjoying themselves together, but in this contribution, after all, the part of the King of Chu himself is missing."

"And if the king of Chu is really willing to teach immediately, I'm afraid that today's banquet should have already issued a decree, so why should Li Ran persuade him?"

"So, I am afraid that what you two asked for today will come to nothing."

Li Ran knew very well what the King of Chu was like.

Don't look at the king of Chu holding a big banquet today and rewarding the three armies.

But in fact, at this moment, the king of Chu may not know how aggrieved he is.

After ascending the throne for more than a year, the state of Chu has won three wars and three victories, but he has never been seen by himself.

This time, he managed to find an excuse to lead the army to march in person. Unexpectedly, Wu Ju immediately won the battle as soon as he arrived at Qianxi.

But where does this make him put the face of the King of Chu?
The widow took off his pants, that's all?

Is this a group for sightseeing?
Can this be tolerated?
Of course not
And the reason why he chose to be stationed in Qianxi was because he saw that this place was a place of the Four Wars?

Obviously, what the king of Chu wants is the effect of "waiting for the rabbit".

As long as he can stay in Qianxi, then sooner or later someone will come to his door for his military exploits.
