Chapter 53 Don't Fight with Yue

A soft singing voice floated out in the middle of the gir castle. Prince Gu Liang of Linyi held the beauty in his left hand, holding a rhinoceros wine glass in his right hand, squinting his drunken eyes, and his eyes were in the slender waist and plump chest of the twisting dancer. There was a silver smile hanging on the corners of his mouth, as if the dancer he had seen. He looked up to **, waiting for his luck as the prince of Linyi.

Yes, it's lucky.

When Qu Liang thought of this word, he couldn't help but be excited. To be honest, he doesn't hate the Han people, which has nothing to do with the bloodline of half of the Han people himself, but to the position of the prince. If the Han people hadn't killed his brother Chu Chu in Lurong, how could he have a chance to sit in this position? Linyi National State has only 30 years, but in order to compete for the position of prince, his two brothers have been killed one after another for plotting. He has always kept a low profile and never dared to have such delusions, but who would have thought that this position would fall on him.

What did the Han sages say? This is fate. God is destined to be yours. If you don't want it, it's yours.

Gu Liang has been very comfortable in the past few years. Da Nang is a harbor where businessmen must live. The commercial tax here is an important source of economic income of Linyi, so only the prince can be stationed here. Of course, the beautiful women and wine that those merchants are filial to can only be enjoyed by the prince and his father. .

This huge happiness is like a big cake falling from the sky, which makes me dizzy. When I think about it, I feel that my legs are fluttering. The only regret is that two months ago, he was attacked by a group of pirates and suffered heavy losses. For this reason, he was scared to death. He was afraid that he would be known by the old man who was being drafted by the royal driver of South County. Fortunately, Fan Yan, the general of Funan, was righteous enough. He took the initiative to take responsibility, led the sailor to search outside for two months, and rushed back to Funan this morning. I have invited soldiers.

Qu Liang felt that Fan Yan was making a fuss. A few pirates can't clean up. Do they need to go back to hire soldiers? However, there are some things that everyone knows and doesn't need to be said too clearly. Although Qu Liang was not very clear about the situation of Funan, he knew that Fan Yan was unwilling to just be a general, and he seemed to have a strong interest in Fu Wang.

Thinking of this, Qu Liang was a little dissatisfied with Fan Qian. Fan Qian was just the nephew of the king of Funan. How could the king of Funan have several sons to succeed to the throne? This kind of person is born with anti-bones. Sooner or later, it will be a scourge, so even when Qu Liang needs Fan Yan's help, he keeps a certain distance, so that Fan Yan will not miss his hand, and he will be unlucky.

The strings sounded more urgent and danced faster. The thin skirt flew up, revealing two snow-white thighs under the dance skirt. Qu Liang's eyes were straight. He held his breath and looked at the faint powder, for fear that he could not see it in the blink of an eye. Although he is used to seeing a woman's body, this feeling still makes his heart beat.

The banquet entered **, the dancers were flying in the pool, and the music played by all kinds of music was warm and touching. For a while, there seemed to be only the joy of drunkenness and death between heaven and earth.

"Color!" Qu Liang put down his glass, pushed away the beauty in his arms, and shouted excitedly.

"Thank you, prince." The sweaty dancer fell down, with a delicately panting smile, and the breath of her open nose was full of sweetness. Qu Liang looked straight along the dancer's corset. He sat up in a daze and muttered, "Okay, good dance, good people, I like it very much, I like it very much..."

"Thank you, Prince." The dancer gently covered her open corset and seemed to take a step back nervously. The timidity between his eyebrows made Qu Liang more excited. He leaned over, grabbed the dancer's thin wrist, pulled her over and held her in his arms, stretched his neck, buried his head in the dancer's chest, and took a deep breath. He closed his eyes drunkenly. After a while, he praised, "Fan, it's really fragrant!"

"Is it fragrant?" A gloomy voice suddenly sounded. Qu Liang was stunned. He opened his eyes with some disappointing, but what he saw was a tall figure. A man squinted a pair of slender eyes and looked at him with a smile.

Qu Liang was shocked and subconsciously retreated. At the same time, he instinctively blocked the dancer in front of him and stretched out his hand to pull out the knife around his waist. His hand held the short knife, but he couldn't pull it out - a soft little hand held his wrist tightly. He raised his head in surprise and looked at the smiling dancer: "You..."

"Dead to death." The dancer suddenly stared at her big and bright eyes, raised her soft and boneless little hand, and cut it fiercely on Qu Liang's neck. Qu Liang's eyes darkened, exhaled a breath, and fell down softly. The dancer grabbed his wrist with one hand and his neck with the other. It was not until Qu Liang didn't move. Then she let go of her hand and stood up and bowed to Cui Qian, who had been standing still.

"The fifth battalion spy Hong Ye, I have met General Cui."

Cui Qian looked at Hong Ye, the cute little dancer, and dared not neglect her. He hurriedly saluted: "Thank you."

"I dare not." Hongye gave another salute, threw down the knife, carried the skirt, and hurried away with his companions disguised as musicians. The gircon, which was just lively, soon calmed down, and the intoxicating sweet fragrance was mixed with the smell of blood, which made people feel both scared and intoxicated.

Cui Qian kicked off Qu Liang's body, picked up Qu Liang's glass and took a sip. He sip, and looked at the dark red wine rippling in the glass disapprovingly: "This sour wine is not delicious at all. Why do so many people like it?"

Zhuge Zhi wiped the blood on the knife and came in with a smile, "General, everyone has its own good. You like Jianye's spirits. Some people like this sour Western wine. There's nothing wrong with it."

Wei Wen came in from another side and bowed: "General, let's start with the whole port. None of the soldiers in the girstadt have missed the net, a total of 351 people. Please ask the general for instructions.

"You two grow up very fast and have the potential to be pirates." Cui Qian laughed and said, "No wonder the king has spent so much effort to bring you two over. To tell you the truth, Lao Cui, I really didn't like you sailors of the State of Wu at first. Now that I think about it, I'm too arrogant.

Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen looked at each other and smiled. Without answering Cui Qian's words, Wei Wen continued, "General, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Shall we sort it out immediately and leave immediately?"

"I'm not busy." Cui Qian waved his hand, motioned them to sit down, picked up the glass bottle on the desk, and poured a glass of wine for each of them: "Give them down and let the brothers have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, call all the merchants over. All the merchants in Funan and Linyi will be killed. All of their goods are given to the Vietnamese merchants, Ziyu (Weiwen). You take them back to Zhuya and take the seriously injured brothers back to recuperate. The others are full of fresh water and grain, and go south with me.

Wei Wen smiled: "General, is it because I, a pirate, didn't do it? The general didn't take me?"

Cui Qian laughed and said, "Didn't I just say that you both have the potential to be pirates, but these merchants have suffered a lot recently. It's not a problem for seriously injured brothers to float on the sea all the time. If there is no one to escort me, how can I rest assured? Well, after you send them back to Zhu Ya, tell Lord Shen and your brother about the situation here, and then add some ordnance and medicine to rush back. We will not go too soon. You will catch up with us soon. Don't worry, if there are good things, we will keep them for you. Ji Gong (Zhuge Zhi), do you think this is good?"

Zhuge Zhi siped his wine and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, the general's arrangement is very appropriate."

"And, I don't want you to go back. Of course you said it." Wei Wen punched Zhuge Zhi with a smile, and then nodded and said, "In that case, then General Yi, I will send them back and then come back."

"Very good." Cui Qian looked around, got up and walked to Qu Liang's body, pulled out the short knife around his waist, cut off Qu Liang's neck, suddenly tore off a piece of clothes, dipped some blood, and then wrote a few dragon flying and phoenix dancing words on the wall: "You can fight with heaven, you can fight with the earth, not with Yue. Break Ergen first, and then take your life. Then he took a step back, looked at it proudly, turned to Wei Wen and Zhuge and said directly, "How's it going? I, Lao Cui, have written these two sentences well enough?"

"It's strong enough. I guess the district company was directly scared to death by the general's two words." Wei Wen flattened his mouth and nodded proportionally.

"Hahaha..." Cui Qian threw away the corners of his clothes, rubbed the blood stains on his hands, and laughed loudly: "You scholars, you just have the wrong words."

Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen looked at each other and smiled, shook their heads, raised the glass in their hands, and drank it all.

After dawn, Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen had their own division of labor. Zhuge Zhi went to replenish fresh water and grain, and collected some weapons. Wei Wen took people to inform the merchants one by one. All the merchants of Funan and Linyi were arrested and beheaded. Their cargo ships were distributed to those Yue merchants who had been scared for several months, and then took Dozens of seriously injured soldiers escorted the hundreds of merchant ships to sail and went straight to Zhuya. Two hours later, Cui Qian and Zhuge disappeared into the vast sea with the warship and went south.

Ten days later, Fan Min rushed to Da Nang with his people and saw the empty harbor and scattered heads. He looked at the Chinese characters on the wall with teeth and claws. He was so angry that his face was blue, and at the same time, he had bursts of palpitations. When the Vietnamese came, they issued a challenge and said frankly that they wanted to kill the district company. They were not just talking big.

Fan Yan hesitated for a moment and ordered someone to send the news back to Funan. The war was coming, so don't take it lightly. At the same time, he sent the bad news of the killing of Qu Liang to the district company in the south, asking him to be careful not to be taken advantage of by the Vietnamese.

When Fan Man received the news from Fan Yan, she had just received a report from her youngest son, Fan Chang. During this period, Fan Chang toured the Dianxun vassal countries in the south and received the news that pirates disturbed the border. Like Fan Yan of Linyi, he didn't take it seriously at first. He only sent a few ships out to check. As a result, there was no news from these ships from then on. He was worried and took the fleet to sea to search again, but he didn't even look at the pirates. While he was going to sea, the pirates appeared in the port of the three missing warships of Dianxun's vassal state, cut down before Dianxun's defenders reacted, and then left.

Fan Man has been fighting for many years and has a strong sense of vigilance. He immediately realized that this group of pirates and the group of pirates mentioned by Fan Yan may be the same group of people, and they are by no means real pirates. Their purpose is not only to rob money, but also to be more inclined to kill people. Wherever they go, almost from Don't leave a living mouth. After he received Fan Yan's report, he was more positive about his guess. While sending someone to tell Fan Yan to be careful, he added troops to Fan Chang to let him do his best to clean up the group of pirates and kill them at the seaside of Funan. The vassal states of Funan are conquered by force. If they cannot fulfill their obligations to protect these vassal states, these vassal states will not pay attention to them, either seek reading power, or turn into the arms of stronger people, and Funan will collapse.

After issuing the order, Fan Man was still very uneasy. He decided to send General Fan Xun to Yue to see the situation, explore the reality of Yue, and prepare for the war. Although Fan Man is not a Han man, he also knows the Han people's art of war. He still knows the truth that he can win every battle. Over the years, he has fought according to the teachings of these art of war.

After receiving the order, Fan Xun embarked on a journey with a gift and a letter of state. About ten days later, he rushed to the scenery of South County and saw the crazy district.

District Lian is more than 60 years old. At this age, he can be regarded as a long life in Linyi. He originally had four sons. The second son and the third son were killed by him for usurping the position of the crown prince one after another. In order to save the crown prince Chu, he was willing to pay all the price. Unexpectedly, in the end, Qu Chu still did not keep it and died in Yunan County. He planned for this for several years, and finally got the help of Fan Man, the king of Funan, at the cost of becoming a dependent country. Fan Yan dispatched a large army to help him besiege Xijuan City, beat Wei Ping, the governor of Yanan, captured Nan, and then helped him make an idea to run away Lv Dai. For the safety of the remaining son, Qu Liang, he left Qu Liang in Da Nang and rushed to fight. However, he never thought that he, the old man who rushed to the front line, was fine, was fine, but Qu Liang in the rear, was killed and left the crazy words on the wall that made people vomit blood.

First break Ergen, and then take your life. Isn't this going to kill them all?

As soon as he saw Fan Xun, he cried bitterly and begged Fan Xun not to be scared by Yue and fight with them to the end. He told Fan Xun that the State of Yue was the smallest of the four vassal states of the Han Dynasty. They just knew how to do business and could not fight. It was okay to deal with those small pirates, but they could not deal with a big country like Funan. They could only use this kind of vulgar method to retaliate.

Fan Xun was pitiful and annoying to Qu Lian, who had a runny nose and tears. Qu Lian was originally a figure, otherwise he did not dare to take advantage of the chaos and cut off Linyi County in the Han Dynasty as king. Fan Xun knew that Linyi County had become a county of the Han Dynasty for 300 years. Unlike those vassals, his reading ability is likely to be ruthlessly suppressed by the Han Dynasty, just like the state of Funan. If a vassal state reads, the king of Funan may have to consider it. If a county reads, it will definitely be negotiable. Directly Send a large army to suppress it.

But the district company gambled successfully. He had been king for 30 years, and the Han Dynasty did not send a single soldier. It can be seen that this guy's vision is very unique. But such a shrewd figure collapsed after his two sons died in the hands of the Han people. Looking at his current appearance, who would have thought that he was the king of Linyi?

"King Lin Yi, don't worry, I'm not going to negotiate with them, I'm going to explore their truth." Fan Xun persuaded him. He let District Lian guard the scene and not let Lv Dai take advantage of the loopholes. Then he took a beautiful girl sent by District Lian, boarded a ship, went down the coast, and rushed to Jiuzhen to see Lv Dai.

Lv Dai was very strange when he saw Fan Xun. He had been in Jiuzhen for almost half a year and had never seen the envoys of Funan. Instead, he sent several batches of envoys to Funan, hoping to solve the dispute with Funan in a diplomatic way. In his opinion, since he was a child, it has been said that the south has been the territory of the Han Dynasty for three or four hundred years. In the past, even the Linyi Kingdom is the territory of the Han Dynasty. This matter is completely an internal matter of the Han Dynasty and has nothing to do with Funan, so he hopes to persuade the king of Funan not to interfere in this matter and let him and the district Lian solve it. But his hope was in the void. After several batches of messengers were sent out, he did not come back, and there was no news.

The first thing he did when he saw Fan Xun was to ask where the messengers were? Was it killed by you, or didn't you see it at all? Fan Xun patted his chest and swore that he had not seen the messengers. From Jiuzhen to Funan, he had to cross the Long Mountain. After several passes and dense forests, they were either lost or eaten by the beasts in the mountain forest. Anyway, the king of Funan must have never seen these messengers. Fan Xun said that if the king of Funan had known the good intentions of the adults, the war would have been over long ago. We in Funan were not interested in helping the district to fight at all. It was he who dragged us into the water.

Lv Dai was suspicious, and he did not embarrass Fan Xun. He just arranged for Fan Xun to board the sea ship directly to Zhu Ya. In order to show his attention, Lv Dai ordered Lieutenant Chen Shi to go with him.

When Fan Xun arrived at Zhuya, Sun Shao had just arrived at Zhuya. As soon as he arrived at Zhu Ya, he went to Wei Wen, who was about to set sail again, to ask Cui Qian and others for information. Wei Wen said what they had done in the area of Linyi. Sun Shao was very satisfied and encouraged them to make the movement bigger, but pay attention to safety. According to reliable sources, the sailors of Funan are not good at food. Their journey at sea is not inferior to that of the sailors of Yue, and now they are fighting in the guest place. The other party occupies With the advantages of familiar terrain, although Cui Qian has a good set, it is better to be careful.

Wei Wen was very grateful and set out with supplies and fighting spirit.

Sun Shao smiled when he heard that the messenger of Funan had come. He expressed great interest and sent several groups of people to the post office to meet Fan Xun, and then met Fan Xun with a grand courtesy. He held a banquet to entertain Fan Xun and politely, so that Fan Xun could enjoy the treatment of a distinguished guest. After being surprised at the beginning, Fan Xun was immediately happy. In the face of Sun Shao's polite and cautious inquiry, he boasted proudly and made Funan the most powerful country in the world. Fan Mangu was like a wise man. In the end, he almost said which woman Fan Man liked.

Fan Xun, who was filled with Zhu Ya's liquor, finally said to Sun Shao that we didn't want to fight with Yue. It was not intentional to kill those merchants. They broke the law in Funan, so we killed him. If the king of Yue wants to ask for justice, it's okay. As long as you are willing to form an ally with us, Funan, we are willing to symbolize the meaning of surname and give you a step down. As for the South County, originally, it has nothing to do with us, but now the State of Linyi is our vassal state of Funan. If the State of Wu - on the way here, Fan Xun already knows that the South belongs to the territory of the State of Wu, and it has nothing to do with the State of Yue - willing to reconcile, we can persuade the district to withdraw from the south. Everyone has something to say. If you don't fight or don't know each other, be friends and get rich together in the future.

Sun Shao did not make a statement, but just said that he wanted to discuss it. After sending Fan Xun away, Sun Shao left Sun Deng and Chen Shi and asked directly, "Can Lv Dinggong still fight? What is Wu's plan?"

After listening to Fan Xun's words, Sun Deng was already moved. If he could take back Yunan County if he didn't move, why did he have to fight? His task was to take back Yunan. As long as Nan came back, his task would be completed, and he would be credited. But after listening to Sun Shao's words, why did he have other ideas? Didn't Funan promise to compensate? Is he still not satisfied? For the sake of a few businessmen, do you really want to go to war with the powerful Funan? What's more, those businessmen did not die unjustly. They blamed themselves.

"What does the big brother mean?" Sun Deng asked tentatively.

Sun Shao looked angry: "The people who killed my Yue country, robbed your land in the state of Wu, and finally lost a few money and returned to your land. Is it over?"

"What are you going to do?"

"It's okay to pay compensation." Sun Shao narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Not only the lives of those people and those goods have to be compensated, but also the military expenses we rushed all the way here. They all have to compensate for the losses of the south, not only to compensate, but also to be punished. Otherwise, when will they be happy? What if they come again?

Sun Deng interrupted Sun Shao's words unhappily: "But the cause of this matter is that the merchants are illegal. Even in your Yue country, these merchants can't escape death. The real loss is just some goods. We have borne the loss of the State of Wu ourselves. As for your state of Yue, what loss do you have? Cui Qian pretended to be a pirate to rob along the way. What they got far exceeded your losses, so why did they expand the war?

"So, do you tend to retreat and make peace?" Sun Shao sneered.

"Yes, I'm going to accept their peace talks." Sun Deng nodded unhappily: "I will rush to Jiuzhen with Chen Shi immediately. I believe Lvding Guild supports my opinion."

"Yes." Sun Shao curled his lips and disdained: "Go and make peace. I'm going to talk to Fan Xun alone. I won't give up if I don't get the compensation I'm satisfied with. By the way, I left the 2,000 people of Zhou Xun. The big tiger can't be protected by no one. I'll send someone else to send you to Jiuzhen safely.

"How can this work?" Sun Deng lowered his face and said, "He was sent by my father to protect me."

"Protect you?" Sun Shao's eyes turned over and said, "Aren't you going to make peace? There is no war to fight. What other safety problems are there? Zhou Xun's good qualifications don't go to war. It's a waste to just follow you to play in the mountains and rivers. I'm practicing for you. It's fine if you don't thank me. What kind of attitude is this? If you feel that you are at a loss, I won't take advantage of you. I will ask for money. I will buy it with money and ask for people. I will arrest the prisoners and pay you back to you.

Sun Deng turned pale with anger and didn't know how to answer Sun Shao's almost scoundrel's words.

Sun Deng smiled and said, "Although Lao Cui is uneducated, this sentence is very good. He can fight with the sky, fight with the earth, and not with Yue. If you don't let them suffer a little, how do they know that I can't mess with the country? If you break the law, you should kill it, but I have to kill it. How can he kill it? I can kill my people, he can't be killed!"
