Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 233
This is the big problem that Yun Chang is most worried about.

Including Kuaiji, the territory in the northern part of Yue State is a relatively rich place, which has been developed by Yue people for many years and has become a relatively fertile land.

If this is ceded, the Yue Kingdom will only be left as a barren land in the south. How can it turn the tables and forge ahead?
Could it be that the State of Yue will forever become a vassal state of the State of Wu, and will eventually perish, leaving everyone alone?
What worries Yun Chang even more is that Qing Ji's heart of perishing Yue is not dead, if one day later he takes advantage of the trend and sends troops to conquer Yue, how can the impoverished, weak and lingering Yue country resist?
Chief Si Kou Luming immediately advised: "Your Majesty, it is only a matter of expediency for us to pay tribute to the State of Yue and cede land for peace. If Qingji can be paralyzed in the future, after the relaxation of the State of Wu, Your Majesty will return to the State of Yue. Take revenge today!"

"Your Majesty, the queen of Qingji is the daughter of the Majesty, the princess of our country of Yue!"

"With the help of Princess Ji Kou, Qingji would not dare to embarrass the king too much. One day, Qingji will be happy, and troubles will arise in Kuaiji under the rule of the Wu people. Maybe Qingji will return the land of Jiji to my country of Yue, and pardon the king early. "

"good!"

Only then did Yun Chang come to his senses.

indeed!

He is Qingji's father-in-law, and his daughter Ji Kou is the queen of Wu!

With this relationship, Qingji won't make it too difficult for Yunchang.

If the people of Yuedi caused troubles, and Wu Jun, who was in charge of suppressing them, couldn't stay any longer, and saw that Yunchang was not threatening to him, Qingji might not return the land of Jizhi to the Yue Kingdom.

Immediately, Yun Chang asked unwillingly: "Big Si Kou, do you really want to bring your wife and children into Wu as a minister?"

"This must be done!"

Luming said loudly: "Your Majesty, to show weakness to Wu, to make Qing Ji feel at ease, Your Majesty has no choice but to bring his wife and children and join Wu as a minister."

"If the Qing Dynasty banned the widow in Wudu, wouldn't the widow end up with this remaining life?"

"My lord, Shang Tang was imprisoned in Xiatai by Jie, King Wen of Zhou was imprisoned in Yuli by King Zhou, Duke Wen of Jin Chonger fled to Beidi, Duke Huan of Qi Xiaobai fled to Ju, and in the end they all ruled the world."

"From this point of view, what is a little grievance of the king?"

Hearing Lu Ming's persuasive remonstrance, Yun Chang finally nodded slightly, and decided to surrender to Wu Guo.

……

Just when Qingji was about to dispatch troops to attack the Yue army's Kuaiji Mountain camp, he heard a report from the guards, saying that it was Lu Ming, the chief commander of the Yue Kingdom, who was begging to see him.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the purpose of Lu Ming's visit.

Just peace!

Qing Ji is determined to destroy Yue, so it is naturally impossible to agree to Yue's request for peace.

However, this does not prevent Qingji from meeting Luming at Yuewang Palace.

"Sun Tzu, Wu Yuan."

"Chen is here!"

"You two immediately lead an army of [-] people, prepare a siege equipment such as trebuchets, bed crossbows, and ladders, and attack the Vietnamese army camp. Before sunset, I hope to see the banner of our Wu army planted in the enemy camp above!"

"promise!"

Sun Wu and Wu Zixu sang loudly, then turned around, followed suit and went down to beat drums and gather soldiers.

It is very rare in ancient times to attack the enemy's camp while receiving the enemy's envoy.

However, this just declares that Qingji will never negotiate peace with the Yue Kingdom!

"Xuan, the envoys of the Yue Kingdom have an audience—"

Following Su Wei's call, Lu Ming, who had been waiting outside the main hall for a long time, lowered his head, bowed his body, and entered the main hall with lowered eyebrows.

Here, originally a place that Lu Ming was very familiar with, was the political hall of the Yue Kingdom.

But at this moment, in Lu Ming's eyes, it seemed so strange!
Because the people standing on this hall are all the monarchs and ministers of the Wu Kingdom.

This made Lu Ming grieve and indignant, how could he not feel a sense of powerlessness?

"Foreign minister Lu Ming, see King Wu! King Wu has lived for thousands of years!"

Lu Ming, who was standing under Majesty's platform, lowered his head slowly, and bowed to Qing Ji.

"Luzi doesn't need to be polite."

Qing Ji gave him a little support, then smiled slightly, and said, "Lu Zi, the king of Yue sent you as an envoy to meet with the widow, presumably for the purpose of negotiating peace?"

"Of course!"

Lu Ming said with emotion: "King Wu, Wu and Yue are adjacent to each other. The two countries are separated by a narrow strip of water, and they are also countries of marriage. Why did they turn against each other and become enemies to the point where they are fighting each other today?"

"The king of Yue has no way, the people of Yue are poor, and the people of Yue are in dire straits. The widows are ordered by heaven to unite with Yue, and to raise troops to save the people of Yue."

Qingji gave such a high-sounding reason.

In fact, the real reason is clear to all people of insight.

In the world of great struggle, the strong will be strong, and the weak will perish!

The powerful state of Wu annexed the state of Yue, and the weak preyed on the strong, why not?
Lu Ming knew it in his heart, but he couldn't point it out, so he said loudly: "King Wu, the matter has come to an end, my king also asks King Wu to stop the war and sign an alliance with our country of Yue!"

"For this reason, my king is willing to pay tribute to the state of Wu in accordance with the conditions set out by the king of Wu before, and cede half of the city land of the state of Yue, including Kuaiji city!"

"Hahahaha! Joke!"

Before Qingji could open his mouth, Zhisu Neishi Fan Li, who was standing on the side of the platform, stood up, sneered at Luming, and said, "Luzi, what you said is not a big joke in the world?"

"Not to mention paying tribute, ceding half of the land of Yue, including Kuaiji City, is indeed the condition of my king's previous strike. However, this time, that time!"

"The city of Kuaiji has now been captured by our Wu army. Why do you need to cede it to the country of Yue? As for the rest of the land, with the strong front of our Wu army, we will be invincible if we attack the city and pull out the stronghold!"

"There is no need to cede Ruyue Kingdom, my Wu army will take it myself!"

Hearing this, Lu Ming hated secretly.

What Fan Li said was very harsh to Luming.

However, this is indeed an objective fact.

Qing Ji followed with a chuckle, and said, "Lu Zi, what Fan Shaobo said is not unreasonable. In that case, why doesn't Lu Zi go back and persuade the King of Yue to take off his armor and come down? My widow will ensure that he will not lose his title of title, glory and wealth, and sacrifice to the ancestral temple." Everything remains the same."

surrender?

The corner of Lu Ming's mouth twitched.

What he is going to do now is indeed similar to surrender, but it is not surrender, at most it is showing favor and showing weakness!
"King Wu, to tell the truth, my king is willing to cede the land of the city and pay tribute every year, and I am willing to take my wife and children and enter Wu as a minister for three years and serve the king of Wu!"

Upon hearing this, the Wu generals in the main hall couldn't help being in an uproar.

Is this a peace deal?
It is clearly begging for mercy, begging for surrender!
They never expected that Yue Wang Yunchang could put his posture so low.

Hearing this condition from Lu Ming, Qing Ji couldn't help frowning.

Qing Ji, who is familiar with history, how can he not know the story of Gou Jian, the king of Yue, who is so famous in later generations?

In history, in the battle of Fujiao between Wu and Yue, Fu Chai defeated Goujian and succeeded in revenge, but in the end he raised the tiger's legacy and refused to listen to loyal advice.

Goujian even tasted feces for the sick Fucha like a slave...
