Zhang Meng said: "There is news from General Zhongyou that Taicang has been taken by our army. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ji Xian and Gubu Ziqing were both overjoyed, and stepped forward to congratulate Lu Di, and Xiong Yiyi, who was standing outside the tent and eavesdropping, slapped his thigh with great joy and shouted: "Ah! ”

Everyone congratulated Lu Di, but who expected that Lu Di just responded lightly: "Oh".

Lu Di is so calm and calm, not because he is not happy to take Taicang, but because taking Taicang was originally expected by him, since it is expected, for Lu Di who swept the land south of Huaishui and has seen more than 20 countries destroyed, how can he be happy about the land of Taicang?

"But what else is there to do?" Seeing that Zhang Mengtan's eyes were a little hesitant, Lu Di asked.

Zhang Mengtan sighed and said: "When the prince of Wu State, Yu Xian, broke the city, rushed through the festival and ran away. ”

"Ran away?" When Lu Di heard the word run, he just stopped with the dagger in his hand for brushing meat, and then said lightly: "If you run, you will run, and you will catch it in Gusu." ”

Obviously, Lu Di thought that after the crown prince fled in defeat, he would definitely return to Gusu with the remnants of the army to help his father's husband.

But his speculation was obviously wrong, only to see Zhang Mengtan shook his head, and he said: "Your Majesty, Prince Bo did not return to Gusu, but crossed the sea east."

"What?" These words entered Lu Di's ears, and Lu Di jumped up from the bed with a sound, and his face really changed this time.

Of course, his change of color is not because after this remnant runs away, it may bring him trouble on the frontier, but because someone from the Wu royal family has really crossed east.

In later generations, there has always been a controversy that the Yamato nation is actually the Great Wu nation, and of course some people say that this is the banner of historical justice played by Japan for its invasion of China.

However, I have to admit that there is a lot of evidence to prove that Wu and Japan do have some relationship, and these evidences include documentary evidence, physical evidence, as well as customs and language habits.

To give some examples: for example, Wu is a homonym with "and" and "倭", Wu Yue ancient sound, especially Hokkien sound, they have many similarities with Japanese, and then clothing, hairstyles, habits, tattoos, war helmets, and even beliefs, these are all visible evidence; What cannot be seen is such as the literature and classics since the Han and Jin dynasties.

If the Wa Kingdom is really a country built by the remnants of Wu Yue, there is no need to be close to each other and feel that it is a family, and of course, there is no need to stare at each other and not admit it.

Because the Wa State could not represent Japan, just as the Wu State could not represent China, he was only a local lord power.

"Don't worry, don't worry, don't say that there are many storms on the sea now, even if the prince and his party are lucky enough to escape to a certain island, we don't need to worry too much, as long as we send a handsome sailor to exterminate it, we will definitely win a big victory at that time" Zhang Mengtan saw Lu Di's frightened appearance, thinking that it was caused by worry, so he opened his mouth to persuade.

Ji Xian and Gubu Ziqing were also on the side to consol, and it took a long time for Lu Di to realize that he had lost his temper, and waved his hand to let everyone rest assured that he was fine.

After everyone sat down, Lu Di saw that the four big black dogs in front of him were fed by himself and couldn't move, smiled slightly wryly, and let the guards take the rest of the mutton.

"Last time, Mr. Ji Xian gave the widow a divination, saying that it was the hexagram of Zhongfu, and now not long ago, sure enough, the widow was really 'Zhongfu' in the lake" Lu Di remembered that day when he talked about the Book of Changes on a rainy day, and couldn't help but joke.

Ji Xian and Gubu Ziqing glanced at each other when they heard this, their faces were flushed, they did calculate that Lu Di might encounter disaster, but at that time, they felt that it was Zhongfu, as long as they persisted, maintained confidence, and moved forward, they would definitely be in trouble, so they did not give Lu Di any advice to resolve it.

Now that Lu Di brings up the old things again, although he didn't mean to be harsh, the two of them still can't help but blush with shame.

Lu Di said again at this time: "Two gentlemen, if you divide the hexagram again, what will the widow encounter next?" ”

The two of them agreed, and began to divinate in their own ways.

Zhang Mengtan, who was kneeling beside Lu Di, vaguely felt that this was not good, but looking at Lu Di's expression of closing his eyes and thinking about meditation, he thought for a long time, and finally sighed in his heart, and finally didn't say anything in the end.

Gubu Ziqing and Ji Xian were tired of a handful of snot and sweat, and finally came out, the two looked at each other, their faces were extremely pale, and they fell to their knees with a flutter, not daring to speak.

When Lu Di heard the movement, he opened his eyes, and when he saw the expressions of the two, his heart moved slightly, and he secretly thought: It seems that the result of the divination is a little bad, but he forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said: "The two gentlemen said that it doesn't matter, whether it is on land or on the water, the widow has walked through the nest of life and death, what kind of things will happen next, the widow can't bear it?" ”

Gu Bu Ziqing glanced at Ji Xian, Ji Xian nodded, and Gu Bu Ziqing told Lu Di the meaning of the hexagram.

Lu Di didn't speak, his eyes looked outside the tent door, the dripping rain began to fall again, and he secretly said in his heart, sure enough, his speculation was right, the ancient Yangtze River was going to have a big flood.

Also!

It rains for three months in a row, so why don't you have a flood?

It's just that Lu Di didn't take into account that King Zhao of Chu saw that Lu Di had built a lot of fertile land in Qi State, so he also carried out a large-scale field cultivation operation in Chu State, of which the encirclement of the lake and the cultivation of fields was one of the biggest measures.

This point has been discussed before, so I will not go into details.

As for the restlessness of the house, there is also a crisis of the stars?

Lu Di was silent for a while, no longer thinking about these two points, his eyes continued to be on this endless super long rainy season, he scolded the sky in his heart, drowning in the south, drought in the north, if you are fair, won't the rain and dew be evenly wet.

Everyone didn't dare to guess Lu Di's thoughts, only to see him sit up in his clothes, walked outside the tent, looked up, and the light rain that was falling again, and said to the people behind him: "In the name of the widow, order all the subjects of Qi south of Huaishui to live on the high ground temporarily, and require every family to build at least one raft for backup."

"This?" Zhang Mengtan was very hesitant when he heard this, because once this order was carried out, it would cause the already surging public resentment to boil, which would undoubtedly provoke sores.

Lu Di saw Zhang Mengtan's thoughts, and he said: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on, and misfortunes and blessings lurk." This sentence is what the old man said back then, Meng Tan, swallowing Wu is not only the land of Wu but also the hearts of the people of Wu State! ”

"Now we have succeeded half, but the other half, although with the help of Mr. Wu Huyong, Weisheng (Zhengsheng), Dong Wu, Taihegong and other gentlemen, can also be recovered, but it is too slow, if the widow first let the people's grievances boil and do not understand, and become the survivor who hid in the highlands after seeing the flood coming, what do you say those subjects of Wu State will think of the widow, how will they think of Qi State?"
