Chapter 162

Qing Ji, who came to his senses, immediately made a decision that was most beneficial to him.

"The enemy of the Yue people is also my friend. In my opinion, I will select and send capable military officials to go south to help the Gu Mie and San Yi people train their soldiers and form a new army!"

"At the same time, secretly sent envoys Gumi and Sanyi to help them conquer the country with their interests, and provided them with military equipment, including weapons and armor."

Hearing this, Sun Wu, Fan Li, and Wu Zixu couldn't help saying in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Wu Qing, this matter is left to you to handle with full authority, and there is no room for loss."

"Sir, obey the king's orders!"

Wu Zixu agreed immediately.

He knew that this was an opportunity that Qingji was giving himself to make contributions!

Qingji's approach is undoubtedly very clever, and it can be said that it can achieve multiple results in one fell swoop.

First of all, only Wu State, Gumi State and Sanyi tribe bordered Yue State.

The state of Wu is too powerful for the state of Yue to be able to do it, but if it can wrestle with the Gumi state and the Sanyi people, the state of Yue can have a great advantage.

Unable to expand to the north, Yun Chang inevitably took the lead and took the initiative to target the Gumi Kingdom and the Sanyi tribe in the south.

And at this time, Wu's strategy to control Vietnam can come into being!

The practice of Qingji is exactly the same as in the past when Jin State supported Wu State to check and balance Chu State, and Chu State supported Yue State to check and balance Wu State.

They all try to contain their enemies by supporting their enemies.

Helping the Gumi country and the Sanyi people train soldiers and horses, not to mention lobbying them to conquer Vietnam.

The State of Wu can also take the opportunity to sell a large amount of weapons and equipment, making the State of Yue extremely annoyed, exhausted, unable to go north, and at the same time, it can also make a lot of money from it!
This is really a lucrative business.

"Your Excellency."

"Chen is here!"

"Immediately send people back to the capital of Wu, inform Ji Zi, and order him to send envoys to discuss with the people of Chu that the Wu and Chu countries, with the great river as the boundary, should not have more than [-] troops stationed within a radius of a hundred miles, and that officials should be assigned to each other. to monitor."

"only!"

Qingji racked his brains to develop the people's livelihood as soon as possible and maximize the national strength of Wu.

It is undoubtedly the best choice to release the redundant young and middle-aged labor force!

I believe that with regard to the relationship between Yi Qingji and Chu State Tai Mengying, the latter will definitely think it over and agree to this matter.

……

After Qingji's patrol team left Yu'er, they headed towards the southwest of Wu State.

It is the most barren place in the state of Wu, full of miasma, inaccessible, and ferocious beasts such as wolves, tigers and leopards often appear.

There are also some "savages" who fled, or Shanyue people who drank blood, and Jingman hid in the mountains there, and they did not completely submit to Wu!

It can be said that it only nominally belongs to the territory of Wu State, and Wu State's influence is not great.

Don't say it's an ordinary city, it doesn't even have a single official road!
Therefore, it is actually a great risk to go there on a parade for Qingji.

Fortunately, during the Great War between Wu and Chu last year, the state of Wu captured more than [-] soldiers of the Chu army, and dispatched them to the southwestern part of the state of Wu to develop and cultivate fields.

In the following celebrations, in order to build official roads and bridges to connect the Central Plains, [-] people were expropriated from them to go north.

Therefore, at this time, there were only more than [-] prisoners of war left in the southwestern region to farm and reclaim wasteland.

Just as Qingji's patrol team was heading there, a conspiracy against Qingji was brewing in the Savage Mountain area!

The sun is shining.

In a lush virgin forest with towering giant trees rising from the ground, a large area of ​​wooden houses, thatched houses, and adobe houses has been opened up.

All kinds of civil buildings are scattered there, and some are sunken caves.

The people who came and went were all wearing animal skin skirts, with a pheasant feather on their heads, their complexions were dark, their originally white teeth were coated with unknown black mucus, and the exposed skin had all sorts of strange patterns.

Typical broken hair tattoo!
That's the case, the aborigines living here have already mastered a certain level of life skills.

I saw women smashing medicine, children climbing trees to dig out bird nests, and adults returning with their prey one after another.

Elk, reindeer, hare, wild boar, black goat... All kinds of prey are brought back to this habitat by hand and shoulders.

This place looks similar to an ordinary barbarian tribe, but it is different.

At least some of the young and strong men were still wearing bronze armor, holding extremely sharp spears and long daggers in their hands!
"Fucha, have you forgotten Qingji's revenge against your father?"

"Fu Chai dare not forget!"

Among all the houses, in the largest wooden shed, a young man over seven feet tall was blushing and yelling at the top of his voice.

Outside the shed, the soldiers in charge of guards seemed to be used to it, still standing guard, expressionless.

The young man who yelled these words was the son Fucha who escaped from the encirclement of the Vietnamese army and survived the catastrophe!

Fucha is the son of Helu (Gongzi Guang).

As the former son of Wu State, Fu Chai can be said to have infinite scenery for a while.

However, his father, Helu, won the country wrongly, killed the king and usurped the throne, and was finally taken back by Qingji. After many twists and turns, Helu also ended up being defeated and committing suicide!

Fortunately, as the only son of He Lu, Fu Chai escaped by chance, and with a group of remnants and defeated generals, he fled to the southwest of Wu State and gained a firm foothold here.

It can be said that Fu Chai had escaped death. He was a newcomer, and he only had his uncle Fu Gai under his command, with more than two hundred remnants and defeated generals.

Relying on his own bravery and the old tribes left by his father Helu, Fucha began to wipe out the Shanyue and Jingman tribes entrenched in the Yeren Mountain (today's Mu Mountain) one by one.

Today, Fu Chai has nearly [-] tribesmen and [-] soldiers under his command, becoming the overlord of one side!

Of course, almost all the barbarian tribes are soldiers. When necessary, Fu Chai can mobilize all the people of his tribe.

This is already quite a force!

It's just that Fucha's ambitions don't stop there.

He wanted revenge, wanted to send his troops back to Wu Du, and regain the position of King Wu that he thought belonged to him!
As the saying goes, the hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable!

Although Yueren was the enemy who directly caused his father Helu's defeat and suicide, in Fucha's view, Qingji was even more hateful than Yueren.

And Fu Chai has clearly realized that he himself does not have the strength to challenge Qing Ji, so he can only continue to expand externally and strengthen his power.

Fucha's attempt to realize his ambition did not happen overnight.

Therefore, in order to prevent himself from forgetting Qingji's revenge against his father, Fu Chai arranges his own soldiers every day to shout at himself, "Fucha, have you forgotten Qingji's hatred against your father?".

And Fu Chai would respond "Don't dare" every time as if he had been beaten with chicken blood!
