The senior doctor, Sun Luo, who was standing next to Bo Zhu, also saw the cold light flashing in Fuchai's eyes. He couldn't help but look at Wu Zixu for fear. Seeing Wu Zixu's upright back, he couldn't help but sigh. Wu Zixu was too proud and shouldn't be conceited. He probably said that Wu Zixu wouldn't care too much about the king, and the current Wu Kingdom was not the Wu Kingdom in the age of the ancestors. The current Wu Kingdom already has enough power to protect itself. Without the Prime Minister, it will certainly have an impact, but it will not cause the Wu Kingdom to perish.

Although Canzhu on one side did not notice the cold light in Fuchai's eyes, he also felt the unknown situation in Wu Zixu's words just now.

"Canzhu, what gift did Yang Zilu give me?" Fuchai, who was a little impatient to wait, frowned and said dissatisfied.

"Yes, the foreign minister is here to bring gifts." Canzhu came to his senses and responded in a hurry.

Upon hearing this, Fuchai lowered his head without comment and urged: "Well, faster speed, my time is very precious."

Canzhu did not let Fuchai wait for a long time. Not long after, he took another person back into the tent. Seeing Canzhu bringing someone with him, Fuchai couldn't help but frown. He said with some dissatisfaction: "Who is Canzhu? Why did you bring him to see me without authorization?"

Before Canzhu could speak, the man knelt on one knee to Fuchai and said, "The king of Han, Yang Zilu knelt down to see the King of Wu, wishing King Wu a good fortune and a long life with the heavens."

Fuchai was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the person coming was Yang Zilu. When he heard Yang Zilu's words, he couldn't help but smile. However, Fuchai quickly restrained the smile on his face, snorted coldly, "Hmph, Yang Zilu, you are really bold, you dare to come to see me."

Yang Zilu cursed in her heart, "Little thing, you are arrogant and crying in the future." But Yang Zilu had to bear the pain on her face. She raised her hand and wiped her eyes, and immediately cried with tears in her eyes: "Master, Yang Zilu is wronged, wronged."

As Yang Zilu spoke, she immediately put away the ginger block in her hand, and couldn't help but complain in her heart, "Damn it, this ginger is not a thousand-year-old ginger, right?" I'm so spicy.

When Fuchai heard this, he was stunned and a little at a loss, but he still said with a stern face: "Unforgivable? Yang Zilu, are you really good at quibbling? He sent troops to attack Yue without authorization and also caused me to lose more than 10,000 Wu troops. Just these are enough."

Yang Zilu continued to cry and said, "King, the reason why I sent troops is because Goujian deceived people too much. He steamed a grain and came to deceive me. If it weren't for chance, a minor official under me discovered the secret, I'm afraid that it would not be Yue Kingdom, but Han Kingdom that destroyed it?"

Fuchai sneered: "Yang Zilu, you really know how to say that Goujian denies this matter, and isn't this evidence easy to create? How could it be that you conspired to calculate Goujian?"

Yang Zilu sobbed and said, "King, if I had come up with this plan, this would probably not be the case. King, think about it, if I thought of this plan, then I could borrow 10,000 or 20,000 shi from the king while borrowing grain from Yue. After this autumn harvest, I steamed the grain and sent it to Wu, and there should be food returned to Yue. In the second year, both Wu and Yue will have a grain shortage, and I will send troops to Yue. There is no large amount of food.

The king could only watch his annex the Yue Kingdom. And the Wu Kingdom, which had just experienced a grain shortage, had the ability to attack the ministers? As the saying goes, a year of famine, three years of accumulation. A year of famine requires three years to recuperate. Three years later, I have to take three years to recover after annex the strength of the Yue Kingdom. Even if I cannot defeat the king, I am afraid that I will be more than enough to protect myself. Why should I take such a risk? King, do you think what I said is right? In fact, I am loyal to the king."

Yang Zilu thought to himself: Do you think I didn't expect this strategy, but this strategy of steaming and cooking grain was thought out by Wenzhong. I sent the grain over there. If Wenzhong found it, I would report it to Wu. When Fuchai saw that the grain I had also steamed and cooked, wouldn't it be that stealing chickens would be lost? Besides, even if Wenzhong couldn't find it, I would offend Wu, and because of the willingness of the grain shortage, it would offend the people of Yue.

In this way, the Wu Kingdom has devoted its whole country to avenge, and I have not yet recovered the hearts of the people of Yue. Isn’t that the same unlucky? Compared with the former, it is only fifty steps to laugh and a hundred steps.

But Fuchai didn't think about this, and couldn't help but feel that what Yang Zilu said made sense. But when he thought of the casualties of the Wu army, he couldn't help but feel angry. Fuchai glared and roared: "Where are the more than ten thousand Wu warriors? You dare to resist me."

Yang Zilu squeezed her eyes when she heard this, but no tears fell down. She couldn't help but feel bitter. She wiped her eyes with Lao Jiang again, which made Yang Zilu cry and snot. However, in Fuchai's opinion, she felt that Yang Zilu was particularly aggrieved. "King, in fact, all this is not what I want to do. I originally wanted the King to cross the river and negotiate with the King, but the doctors under my command said that the King believed Goujian's slander and wanted to kill me. I was obsessed with the ghosts for a while, and I was afraid of death, and the doctors under my command slandered me, so I resisted the King's ministers. It's really a crime to die."

"Hmph, you deserve to die. But seeing that you are still sincere, you come to see me alone. Forget this time, you will immediately return the land of Yue Kingdom... Well, half of it is for Goujian. After all, Goujian was wrong this time," Fuchai hesitated for a moment and said. He thought Yang Zilu was probably loyal to him, but he probably did not die just because of his words. He agreed with Yang Zilu's excuse for resisting, but Fuchai was not going to goujian to goujian.

After hearing this, Yang Zilu cried, "King, I am afraid I cannot make the decision. If I dare to do this, I am afraid that the next day, I will be beheaded by my powerful ministers under my command. It is even worse than the Sanhuan."

The Three Huans refer to the three powerful ministers of Lu State, whose power is greater than that of the monarch of Lu State. Historical books describe the monarch of Lu State and the Three Huans in this way. "The Three Huans are victorious, and Lu is like a small marquis being inferior to the family of the Three Huans." From this passage, it is not difficult to see that the Three Huans' status in Lu State actually makes the monarch of a country "humble" to him.

What about Fuchai, I, didn't believe it: "How could this be possible? You are the king of a country after all."

Yang Zilu sighed and said, "I was eager to achieve success at the time. As long as I surrendered to me, I would give me great sovereignty. The Han Kingdom is called a country, but in fact it is just a few small countries. All of this is my fault. But I also know the king's concerns. When I came here, I thought of a solution."

"Oh?" Fuchai looked at Yang Zilu, his eyes full of doubt.

Yang Zilu responded: "I am willing to sever my troops and horses to maintain the Han army and horses within three thousand people and ask the king to send people to serve as the right Sima of the Han country. I believe that this is true, and the powerful ministers under my subordinates want to coerce the ministers to send troops to attack the king, and it is impossible."

Fuchai did not completely believe Yang Zilu's words, but he felt that Yang Zilu seemed to be afraid of Wu. This made Fuchai quite proud, and he actually sent someone to openly monitor him, hoping to obtain Wu's understanding.

Fuchai thought for a while, frowned and said, "Then why did you come to see me so secretly? And it's just now."

Yang Zilu sighed and said, "It's all because there are traitors around the king. If you want to provoke the relationship between the king and the minister, you have to do this."

"What kind of traitor? What do you mean?" Fuchai asked.

"I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it," Yang Zilu said timidly.

"Tell me," Fuchai frowned again and said.

"I heard that the Prime Minister received five hundred gold coins from Goujian, and it is said that there was one thousand gold coins. Goujian gave so much money to the Prime Minister, in order to hope that the Prime Minister could help Goujian restore the country, how dare the ministers come publicly? I'm afraid that before I saw the king, I have been cut off by the Prime Minister," Yang Zilu said with a bitter look on his face.

When Fuchai heard this, his face changed slightly. Fan Li retired successfully. When Duke Tao Zhu only earned three thousand gold, he was called a wealthy country. One thousand five hundred gold was almost comparable to the treasury of a small vassal state. Fuchai asked with a solemn expression: "Do you have evidence?"

When Yang Zilu heard this, she sighed and said, "It's such an important thing, and the Prime Minister is a scheming person. There may be evidence there. I'm just trying to find out that there is such a thing. But I think, if there is evidence, then I think that the Prime Minister speaks for Goujian. In the past, the Prime Minister has always advocated that the King destroyed the Yue Kingdom. Why did the Prime Minister ask the King to send troops to help the Yue Kingdom? Don't you think it's abnormal?"

When Fuchai heard this, his face changed drastically, but for some reason, he shouted: "Okay, don't talk about this matter, but Yang Zilu, it seems that you listen to the loyal ones."

"Everything of the titles and titles of the ministers is given by the king. If the minister is not loyal to the king, it should be punished by heaven and earth." Yang Zilu said with a look of emotion.

When Fuchai heard this, he nodded with satisfaction. He felt that Yang Zilu was quite credible. Moreover, Fuchai's heart was in the north. What he wanted to be a hegemon, not a king or dominant among the small barbarian countries in the south. Even the Han country in the south is still a small barbarian country in Fuchai's view.

Next came some details. Yang Zilu expressed that she was willing to let Goujian return to Kuaiji City to continue to pay tribute to her ancestors. However, Fuchai seemed to not believe in Yang Zilu's character and did not agree, which made Yang Zilu's conspiracy unfortunately die.

In terms of tribute, Fuchai was a lion who asked Yang Zilu to pay tribute of 200,000 yuan a year and 30,000 stones of grain. When Yang Zilu heard this, she felt bitter immediately. Fortunately, Fuchai really thought that the powerful ministers under Yang Zilu had no money. After bargaining, he agreed to Yang Zilu's condition to pay 5,000 stones of grain and 50 pieces of fur every year.

Yang Zilu also said that she admired the culture of Wu and hoped that Fuchai could send craftsmen and scholars to the Han Dynasty to teach the Han Dynasty all kinds of craftsmanship and various academics. In fact, Yang Zilu's biggest purpose was the former, especially the shipbuilding industry. Yang Zilu was eyeing him.

But Fuchai was not stupid, but he just agreed to send some scholars to the Han State, which made Yang Zilu quite regretful, but Yang Zilu was just a regret. In this era, the most developed shipbuilding industry was not only the Wu State, but also the Chu State and Qi State. Yang Zilu believed that in order to support him, Chu State would not mind teaching the technology of the shipbuilding industry to control the Wu State. As for Qi State, although it was a little troublesome, it could also use Qi State to fight and use weapons to exchange for craftsmen.

Finally, after negotiations between Yang Zilu and Fuchai, Han State was still a vassal state of Wu State, and Yue State was not destroyed. However, in fact, his situation was no longer different from destruction. Yue State only retained a small piece of land on the north bank of Zhejiang under the protection of Wu State, and the city was just a land of Li Yiyi, and the land was only a hundred miles away.

When Yang Zilu returned to Jiangnan, the ministers discovered Yang Zilu's disappearance, which made them complain that Yang Zilu had to take action for a while. If Fuchai had the idea of ​​killing, Yang Zilu might have to meet King Yan Luo. In fact, Yang Zilu also had a feeling of "rebirth" when she stepped on the land on the south bank, but Yang Zilu still felt that her adventure was worth it.

Three days later, Yang Zilu and Fuchai fought blood on a small island in Zhejiang to form an alliance, calling it "Stop the War on the River". Although before the alliance, Wu Zixu suggested that Fuchai ambush the warships upstream and capture Yang Zilu.

However, Fuchai, who had long been prejudiced against Wu Zixu, naturally rejected Wu Zixu's suggestion. Moreover, in order to prevent Wu Zixu from taking his own initiative, Fuchai also asked Bo Zhu, who was not right with Wu Zixu, to take over the Zhou Shi.

Goujian naturally didn't want Yang Zilu to have a good time. That night, Goujian sent Dazai Kucheng to give Boshen a hundred taels of gold. Although Boshen was greedy for money, he was not stupid. He knew that his status was due to Fuchai's appreciation.

Although Bo Cheng helped Yue Kingdom in history, it was because Bo Cheng did not discover the conspiracy of Yue Kingdom. When Bo Cheng discovered it, Yue Kingdom had already attacked Wu Kingdom and became a country that was a little stronger than Wu Kingdom. Only then did Bo Cheng defect to Yue Kingdom.

Now Yue Kingdom is worse than before. Although Bo Cheng was greedy for money, he did not ruin Fuchai's trust in him for such a little money, so he politely rejected the property sent by Gou Jian.

This made Goujian miss the days when Wen Zhong and Fan Li were around him more and more. During that time, Goujian had almost no need to do anything or think. Wen Zhong and Fan Li had already thought of it for Goujian. All Goujian had to do was make a decision.

The only thing that allowed Goujian to have fun in suffering was that the Yue Kingdom, at least it did not perish, but this kind of Yue Kingdom did not perish, but how big is the difference between it and perish?
