Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 38 Wuyue Alliance
Regarding what Lu Ming said, Yun Chang thinks it is not unreasonable.

Soldiers, the country's major affairs, must not act rashly!
Once the Yue State raised troops to conquer Helu, and the Wu army went south again, if they intervened, the consequences would be disastrous.

At the very least, the Yue people will indeed be used by Qingji as a weapon, and they may suffer a lot of losses for it!
"Then, the widow will not form an alliance with Wu, and will not accept the four southern cities that King Wu Qingji assigned to?"

Yun Chang is very hesitant.

"It's not."

Lu Ming shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you take this cheap offer? What I worry about is the sinister intentions of Wu people."

"A mere letter of alliance may not be able to restrain Wu!"

"Why did Da Si Kou teach me?"

Yun Chang had to ask Ji Yu Luming.

Lu Ming just murmured, and then said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Ji Kou is already in her prime, and she is waiting in her boudoir?"

"good……"

Yun Chang nodded slightly, then came to his senses immediately, and asked with a surprised expression: "Big Si Kou, didn't you ask the widow to marry Ji Kou to the country of Wu?"

"Exactly."

Seeing Yun Chang's hesitation to speak, Lu Ming resolutely lowered his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Ming! Since ancient times, the role of covenants is far less than that of marriage. Marriage is a very clever political method."

"The minister heard that Wu Wang Qingji was only a weak crown year and has not yet married."

"Princess Ji Kou is married at this time. She can be the queen of Wu, and the king can also dispatch secret agents from her to respond at any time and closely monitor Wu's every move!"

"color!"

After learning about the benefits of marrying Wu Guo, Yun Chang couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he applauded loudly.

You know, Ji Kou is Yunchang's favorite daughter, the only daughter.

Yun Chang doted on Ji Kou very much since he was a child, and when Ji Kou grew up, he became charming and charming, a rare beauty in the capital of Yue!

As the saying goes, rare goods can be lived in.

Before Ji Kou reached Ji, Yun Chang was planning what kind of husband he should find for her!
Now it seems that it is the right time for Ji Kou to marry into the state of Wu and become the queen of Qingji.

At least, this does not disgrace Ji Kou's princess status, and it can also promote the alliance between Wu and Yue!
After nightfall, Yun Chang warmly entertained Wu Envoy Bo Tong in the main hall with the ministers and officials.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Yun Chang told Bo Tong about the marriage between Wu and Yue!

It would be fine if Ji Kou just married to the state of Wu as a side wife, but this is the queen and the wife of the state, so Bo Tong can't make the decision, but it's hard to refuse the kindness of King Yunchang of Yue.

Therefore, Bo Tong could only repeatedly decline, saying that he would send someone back to the country to report Qingji.

If Qingji agrees, the marriage between Wu and Yue can be accomplished!
……

At this time, Qingji, who is far away in Wudu, still doesn't know that he is about to be involved in a political marriage that is very popular in this era.

Qing Ji was leading a group of ministers and officials from the state of Wu to welcome Jizha, who had returned from Chu, at the gate of the city, as well as the two sons of Wu state, Yan Yu and Zhu Yong, and more than a thousand ragged soldiers behind them.

It is worth mentioning that both Jianyu and Zhuyong are younger brothers of Wu Wangliao and uncles of Qingji!
Back then, King Liao of Wu took advantage of the death of King Ping of Chu and the domestic turmoil, and sent troops to attack Chu.

The two led troops to besiege Qianyi in the Chu State, and they could not attack for a long time. Suddenly, they heard news from the country that Prince Guang (Helu) sent Zhuanzhu to assassinate King Liao of Wu, and had already usurped the throne by murdering the king.

Jianyu and Zhuyong were shocked and wanted to lead the army to retreat, but the retreat had been cut off by the Chu army.

In desperation, the two of them could only flee to Xu country and the other to Zhongwu country, seeking asylum!

Because they knew that with He Lu's character, it was absolutely impossible to let him go, so they settled down temporarily and waited for the opportunity.

When it was heard that Qingji fled to Weiguo, recruited troops, gathered strength, and prepared to attack Helu to avenge his father, Jianyu and Zhuyong wanted to join Weiguo, but they were blocked by Chu people and could not do so.

It was not until Qingji defeated Helu, the king came to Wu State, and sent Ji Zha to Chu to ask Chu State to release them, and then they were able to return to their home country.

Even the soldiers who fled with them felt so ashamed!
You must know that Xu State and Zhongwu State are both vassals of Chu State. If Chu State insists on not releasing people, what can they do?

Fortunately, Ji Zha's face is big enough, and Wu and Chu have signed an alliance and reconciled, so the people of Chu did not make things difficult for them.

"Veteran Ji Zha (Zhuyong, Jianyu) see the king! The king is ten thousand years old!"

"Don't be too polite!"

After Qingji got out of the car, he immediately stepped forward to hold Jizha's hands, and said with a look of greeting, "Uncle has worked so hard all the way. Please get on the king's chariot. I will personally drive the chariot for my uncle!"

"My lord, how dare the old minister..."

"Uncle, please!"

Qingji couldn't help but invite Ji Zha to drive in his exclusive car.

Afterwards, he set his sights on Yan Yu and Zhu Yong, feeling very moved.

"Uncle Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, how have you been?"

Hearing this, Jian Yu and Zhu Yong couldn't help feeling the scene for a while, and said with a choked voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking about it! If it wasn't for Your Majesty this time, I am afraid that we will not be able to return to Wu Kingdom in this life, and die in a foreign land!"

"Although it is good to be in Xu State, Xu Jun treats his ministers with courtesy, but the ministers always don't want to return to their hometown and avenge the former king!"

After all, Jianyu and Zhuyong, two imposing seven-foot men, couldn't help crying as they hugged each other with tears in their eyes!

"Uncle Wang, sooner or later, I will kill Ji Guang to avenge my father. I have already set up a banquet in the main hall, please go back and freshen up, and you can attend the banquet in the evening."

"Thank you king!"

Qingji then stood at the front of the car again, supported Shi, and faced more than a thousand soldiers of the Wu Kingdom with pale faces, feeling even more somber in his heart.

These soldiers did not have a complete set of armor on them. They were all unkempt, sloppy, and ragged, looking more like refugees fleeing for refuge.

However, they are indeed Wu Jun, soldiers who followed Jianyu and Zhuyong to fight in Chu!

Even though they were down and out, Qing Ji still wasn't on them, and he couldn't see any signs of depression.

After Prince Guang sent Zhuan Zhu to assassinate King Liao of Wu, Jianyu fled to Xu State, and Zhu Yong fled to Zhongwu State.

Although both countries are vassal states of Chu State, they have an old relationship with Wu State, especially Mr. Xu, who is the brother-in-law of Wu Wangliao!
Under this kind of in-law relationship, Xu Jun had to shelter and cover up.

It's just that Jianyu's life in Xu State is nourishing, but it's hard for the soldiers who fled together!
After all, Xu Nai is a small country, and his own thousands of soldiers and horses are unsustainable. How can he support so many Wu troops?
Therefore, after they entered the state of Xu, some of them had already settled down, while others fled without knowing where to go.

There are only more than a thousand people who have returned to the state of Wu, and most of the soldiers are missing.

However, Qing Ji is still satisfied!
It is precisely because Wu Guo has this kind of cohesion that he can continue to strive for self-improvement!
At this moment, the soldiers who returned to their home country couldn't help but burst into tears and couldn't help themselves.

"Second and third sons, my soldiers of Great Wu! You are back home!"

Qingji waved his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Chuan Zhao, all soldiers who return to the country will be rewarded with two bolts of linen and a stone of rice!"

"The widow will give the second and third sons fifty altars of fine wine and ten deer as rewards! Tonight, you will not return until you are drunk!"

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers knelt down in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"My king, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"

Qingji instantly conquered the hearts of these soldiers.

Back in Wu country, they can be said to have come to the end of their hardships!
