A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 190
Huai State, Jinling.

As soon as the envoys of the Song State arrived in Jinling, they rushed to the Huai State Palace without stopping.

"Duke Huai, please save the country of Song!" The envoy of the country of Song cried out: "Guo Wei deceived people too much, Wei Li usurped the throne, and Prince Hui fled to Song to seek refuge. Naturally, we want to protect him, but who would have thought that Wei Li would lead an army to attack."

"My country of Song is not its opponent. The army was defeated badly, and the request for peace was rejected. This Wei Li wants to destroy the country of Song. Please also ask the country of Huai to save me from the country of Song!"

"Song envoy, I already know about the affairs of the Song state. Even if we send troops to rescue, we still need to recruit troops and prepare logistics supplies. It will take some time." Wang Pu comforted.

"Duke Huai, the situation of the Song Kingdom is in dire straits. If Duke Huai does not send troops, the Song Kingdom will be destroyed. Please help the Huai Kingdom!" the envoy of the Song Kingdom cried.

Wang Pu ordered the envoys to be sent to the post to rest, and then called important ministers to discuss the matter.

"My lords, the state of Song sent envoys to ask for help. The state of Wei and the state of Song were confronting each other in Shangqiu. Although the soldiers of the state of Song were weak, it would be no problem to resist for a year or so. I am afraid that this matter will change if we leave the messenger."

"Your Majesty, are you worried that San Jin and Wei Qi will join forces?" Chen Feng asked.

"En." Wang Pu nodded.

"I feel that Sanjin and Qi are not just for Song, their goal is probably Huai!"

"Your Majesty, you can call up a large army first to prevent any accidents."

The Huai Kingdom discussed for two days, and the dark guard also sent back the news of the Six Kingdoms' alliance. When they heard the news of the Six Kingdoms' alliance, the envoys of the Song Kingdom burst into tears.

Shangqing and Xiangguo of Huai Kingdom came to the main hall of Huai Palace one after another.

"Sure enough, these states and Zhou kingdoms are evil-hearted!" Wang Pu sneered. "Six countries are united, what do you think should be done?"

"Your Majesty, there are many conflicts among the three Jins, Qi, Chu and Wei. It was only because they wanted to attack the Huai country that they reluctantly united. The six countries are not in harmony."

"The Six Kingdoms attacked the Huaihe River, and the Chu State would most likely come down the river and attack from the Dabie Mountains on the shore. Our army needs to shrink and defend, and the Chaohu Navy and Jinling Navy will go north to block the Chu Kingdom's navy."

"The State of Qi has always coveted the land of Huaisi. Presumably this time it will also attack from the land of Huaisi. The rivers in the land of Huaisi are crisscrossed. Our army can rely on the city's rivers to defend."

"As for the Three Jins, it must be attacked from the Song State."

"The Six Kingdoms' attack on the Huaihe River is fierce, but there are many internal conflicts. I suggest that you can find someone with unparalleled eloquence and go to see these princes. At that time, the alliance may be broken." Xu Feng recounted his speculation.

Wang Pu nodded, agreeing with Xu Feng's conjecture, and immediately said: "Chu's attack on Huai is because of our great enmity with Huai, and Qi is greedy for the land of Huaisi, but Han Zhaoke and our Huai are not the same. What is the border, even if they occupy the Huai country's land, they will not be able to rule."

"Three Jins seem to be the closest on the surface, but in fact they are constantly dirty. By the way, there are also Qin and Yan. Just remember that both Qin and Chu want to get the Bashu Plain, and Yan is the land of Qi. Salivate, after all, the country of Yan is a place of bitter cold."

"Your Majesty is right. The Six Kingdoms Alliance seems to be powerful, but it is not invincible. I heard that there is a man named Gongsun Mao in the academy. He is eloquent and resourceful. He can take on important tasks and go to other countries. "

Wang Pu sent someone to invite Gongsun Mao, and then asked: "Now the three Jins, Qi, Wei, Chu and the six countries want to attack Huai, can you have a strategy to help you defeat the enemy alone?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers are not proficient in military and state affairs, but the ministers are proficient in vertical and horizontal techniques, which can relieve your majesty's worries." Gongsun Mao said.

"I don't know what you plan to do?"

"In this alliance, Wei State is the strongest, but Wei State and Qin State are mortal enemies. Wei State seized the land of Xihe, and Qin State wants to take it back day and night. If Wei State attacks Huai State, you can invite Qin State The state sent troops to attack the state of Wei, the state of Wei was missing from the Three Jins, and the state of Zhao was not afraid of South Korea, and without the three Jins, the state of Huai must be enough to deal with the states of Qi and Chu."

This Gongsun Mao was indeed a great talent, Wang Pu immediately worshiped him as a nobleman and ordered him to go on an envoy.

And just after Gongsun Mao went on an envoy, Wang Pu ordered the army to attack north. Even if it wanted to break the alliance of the six countries, it would take time.

After Gongsun Mao got the edict, he rushed to Qin State immediately. Qin State was very enthusiastic about attacking Wei State. After all, after the land of Xihe was occupied, Qin State was suppressed in the Weihe Plain, which was too much for Qin State. Dangerous.Huai State came to contact and agreed to attack Wei, and Qin State immediately agreed.

Then Gongsun Mao went to Yan State again, and Yan Hou was very surprised that Huai State sent envoys.The relationship between Yan State and Huai State is not bad, because there is no contradiction between the two countries, one is south and the other is north, and the caravans of Huai State often go to Yan State to trade.

Yan State is bitterly cold, food is not abundant, and wine is scarce at the same time. Huai State caravans often go to sell food and wine, and then transport fur, jin, and horns from Yan State back to Huai State.

Yan State has always been not well-known among the countries, because the northern part of Yan State has always been invaded by barbarians and dines in the south, and the countries in the Central Plains are fighting, but Yan State needs to resist the Barbarians and Dies all the year round. The countries in the Central Plains are fighting for hegemony, but Yan State has to work hard for survival There is no time to fight for orthodoxy.

Because Yan State is located in a bitterly cold place, it often needs to buy grain from Qi State at high prices, and Qi State merchants often unite to sell high prices in order to earn more profits, so in Yan State, Qi State has a bad reputation.

"Message from Huai country, why did you come to Yan country?"

Gongsun Mao ordered someone to give the gift he brought from Huai State to Yan Hou and said: "Yan Hou, you have resisted the invasion of the northern barbarians all year round. Duke Huai admires you very much, and the caravan of Huai State was also favored by you in Yan State. Preferential treatment, this is a gift from Duke Huai to thank you."

Hearing Gongsun Mao's compliment and the precious gift he sent, Marquis Yan was very happy, and said with a smile: "Duke Huai is so kind."

After the two sides chatted for a while, Gongsun Mao pretended to be casual and asked: "Marquis Yan, after the foreign ministers came to Jicheng, they saw that the food price in Jicheng was very high and the people's lives were difficult, what's going on? "

"The merchants of Qi State sell grain, and the price of grain is very expensive. By the way, it has been a long time since Yan State has seen the caravan of Huai State. If the Huai State caravan came to sell grain, Qi State would not dare to sell it so expensive. " Yan Hou said with an ugly face.

"Marquis Yan, it's not that Huai country is unwilling to come to sell grain, but because Qi country has blocked the trade route, and the people of Qi country don't allow our Huai country merchants to go north, so the business has been cut off in the past few years."

"It turns out that Qi State wants to monopolize food to squeeze the wealth of Yan Hou."

"What? It was Qi who blocked your Huai country's caravan and prevented you from selling it?" Marquis Yan's face immediately darkened upon hearing this.

"Yes, if you have to go to the Yan Kingdom, the Marquis of Qi will impose heavy taxes, and the caravan cannot make ends meet, so they have no choice but to retreat."

"The people of Qi deceive people too much!" Yanhou said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the Qi people control the food, we cannot turn against the Qi people." The Xiangguo next to him said hastily.

"Marquis Yan, Qi State has rich and fertile land, but Yan State lives in a bitter cold place, is it fair?"

"Is it fair for Qi State to exploit Yan State in this way? You must know that Yan State has been fighting with barbarians in the north all year round. Without Yan State's obstruction, Qi State would have been occupied by barbarians long ago. Now Qihou is not only not grateful, but is using grain to crush us."

"We must teach Qi a lesson." Marquis Yan said angrily.
