Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 174
For Fucha, Qingji did not choose to kill him.

Even though he knew very well that Fu Chai was a fierce tiger, and he had a vengeance against his father, Qingji still chose to let Fu Chai go!

This is not the benevolence of Qingji's wife, but a trick he is playing.

If this is accomplished, then after Wu State annexes Yue State in the future, it can further expand to the Baiyue land in the south. If not, there will be no loss for Wu State itself.

After meeting with the leaders of the Shanyue tribe, Qingji stayed for two more days and watched the Shanyue people drag their families down the mountain to help Wu build a new city and cultivate fields.

After that, the state of Wu will also distribute farm tools, cattle, salt, and a large amount of cloth to the Shanyue people to win over their hearts.

While appointing Boqi as the county magistrate of Xincheng, Qingji appointed Xiong Zidan as the general and governor of Zhennan, the governor of the military forces in the southwest (Xincheng), and left [-] soldiers and horses in case of accidents.

Afterwards, Qingji's patrol team passed through the vast forest, went straight to the big river, took a big boat all the way north, inspected many cities along the river, and expressed condolences to the soldiers and civilians.

Immediately afterwards, Qingji's patrol team went back up the river and entered the border of Zhufang County.

Zhufang County is located at the mouth of the river, facing Han State across the river, and its geographical location is very dangerous.

It is worth mentioning that in the Jianghuai area, except for Han, the other Huaiyi tribes basically surrendered to Wu in name.

This is due to the continuous expansion of the kings of the Wu Kingdom, conquering the Dongyi people in the Jianghuai area.

There is only one country, Han, which is still stubbornly standing in the land of Jianghuai, like a thorn in Wu's side, Qingji looks very uncomfortable.

Therefore, during this tour, Qingji also wanted to gather all the Huaiyi tribes to annex Han Kingdom together, expand Wu Kingdom's sphere of influence to the Huaihe River Basin, and there would be no country within a country.

……

Zhufang County.

Qingji invited all Huaiyi ministries to participate in the alliance at the lakeside on the outskirts of the city to discuss the crusade against Han.

Huaiyi, who occupied the Jianghuai area as early as the Shang Dynasty, belonged to the Dongyi tribe.

According to legend, Chi You, the famous tribal leader, failed in the battle of Zhuolu with the Yanhuang tribe and collapsed. Some of his family moved south and settled in the Huaihe River Basin, where they were called Huaiyi.

Huaiyi is not a country, but a collective name.

In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Huaiyi participated in the rebellion against Zhou by Uncle Guan, Uncle Cai, and Wu Geng. The Duke of Zhou marched eastward, conquered by force, and rebelled again.

Calling public soldiers, he began to show his surrender, but he has not been recognized and awarded by the Zhou royal family!

Since the generation of Shoumeng, the state of Wu has been sending troops to the north to conquer the tribes of Huaiyi one by one.

The rebellious Huaiyi is quite convinced of the state of Wu. Over the years, there have been few rebellions.

Therefore, in Qingji's conquest of Han this time, the Huaiyi people will undoubtedly act as the vanguard.

At this moment, Qingji sat on the Sifangtai, looked around, looked at dozens of Huaiyi tribe leaders below the stage, raised the wine cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Second and third son, please have a drink with me!"

"My lord please!"

The Huaiyi leaders immediately picked up the wine jue and drank the wine in the wine jue.

After Qingji put down the wine bar, he said slowly: "Everyone, to be honest, I invite you to come to the alliance this time. Apart from conquering the barbarians in Han, I also have a proposal to discuss with the second and third sons."

"The ministers will obey the king's order!"

The leaders of Huaiyi immediately offered their tickets.

The Huaiyi tribes have been subject to Wu for a long time, and they still have a certain sense of belonging.

As long as Qingji's propositions are not excessive, they can accept them one by one!

Qing Ji said loudly: "I want to build a city in Huai, and I have asked my second and third sons to support me and send my clansmen to do hard labor, so that the new city can be completed as soon as possible."

"The ministers will obey the king's order!"

All Huaiyi leaders agreed immediately.

Qingji said again: "On the day when the new city is completed, Wanger and others can urge the tribe to settle in the city and communicate with each other."

The leaders of Huaiyi all agreed to Qingji's proposal.

I didn't expect things to go so smoothly!

Qing Ji obviously underestimated the Huaiyi people's sense of identification with Wu.

Even if Qingji does not build official roads to connect the Central Plains, does not build a city, and establishes a complete administrative organization, I believe that in time, the Huaiyi people will be able to integrate into Wu, regardless of each other!
After finalizing the matters, Qingji bid farewell to the Huaiyi leaders one by one, and returned to the government office.

"Your Majesty, please see Fan Li, the internal history of Zhisu!"

Before Qingji could take a rest, he heard a guard come forward and report.

Fan Li?

Qingji knew that if Fan Li was fine, it would be impossible for him to ask to see him, so he waved his hand and asked Su Wei to summon Fan Li in.

"Sir Fan Li, see the king! The king has lived for ten thousand years!"

"Young uncle don't need to be polite, please sit down."

Qingji waved his hand, and let Fan Li take a seat, sitting opposite him.

"Uncle Shao, could it be that something happened in the country of Han?"

The leaders of the Huaiyi tribes of the Qingji League are quite powerful, and they obviously cannot hide it from the Han Kingdom, so Qingji has already guessed this point.

"The country of Han is raising troops and strengthening the city defenses, so as to resist our army's attack at any time. Your Majesty, I am here not for the affairs of the country of Han, but to recommend someone to the king!"

"who?"

"This man is a great sage, and he is still working in the state of Chu, but he has already given birth to a heart to vote for Wu. I have already compiled a book earlier, and someone passed it on to him. Now I have replied. He really has the heart of abandoning the dark and turning to the light, and he intends to serve the king! "

Daxian?

Qingji thought about it secretly, and he knew that there was only one person who could be called a great sage by Fan Li and who was close to Fan Li, and that was the famous language in history!

How could Qingji not know the ability of language?
However, Qingji just laughed it off and said: "To be called a great sage by Shaobo, you must have talent?"

"His talent is ten times that of the minister!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Qingji waved his hands and said, "With your talents, Shaobo, how can anyone in the world be ten times as powerful as you?"

"Ten times, or even dozens of times, than the minister!"

Fan Li touted the ability of Wen Zhong, fearing that his confidant would not be reused by Qing Ji.

"Who is he?"

"It's from Ying, Chu State, and Wen Ziqin!"

It's really a language!
Knowing that Wenzhong intends to serve the Wu Kingdom and serve himself, Qingji was naturally very pleased.

Who is the language?
He was the counselor of Goujian, king of Yue in history, and together with Fan Li, he made great contributions to Goujian's final defeat of King Fuchai of Wu.

It's a pity that after the destruction of Wu, Wenzhong, relying on his great achievements, refused to follow Fan Li's advice to retire after he had achieved success. Afterwards, he was not tolerated by Goujian, and was finally ordered to die by Goujian.

Wen Zhong's ability is extraordinary, maybe inferior to Fan Li, Sun Wu, and Wu Zixu, but he can definitely be called a top adviser!
Right now, although Qingji does not lack such advisers, for Qingji, the more talents the better.
