Alliance, what alliance? A burst of poetry was sung and Lu Zhe's head was a little swollen, and when he heard the words of the covenant, he immediately woke up.
Xiang was appointed to become a general before the death of the Chu State, and in recent years, the reputation of the Guiyu clan has gradually increased because of the secret association with the Gui Yu people of various countries, and before that, it was just the second-rate Gui Yu clan of the old Chu State.
It is such a second-rate nobleman who deeply understands how to build momentum, and spends a few years cultivating fame among the people, and the process is similar to the modern advertising model except that there is no big-character poster.
Xiang continued to envelop the literati, making these literati boast everywhere, and proclaimed Xiang Yan's military behavior of leading a group of old and weak soldiers to hit stones with eggs into great heroism, and then the show-like gang leader several times vigorously rendered the love of the people like a son.
In Lu Zhe's opinion, Xiang's methods are very naΓ―ve, but the current people eat this set, and they are very easy to fool.
After Lu Zhe occupied Nanjun, he did not do less about Xuanxi's biography and show, and went to the countryside several times to talk and laugh with Qianshou, and became a benevolent person who treats the people through Xuanxi.
What has become of the act of vigorously building Nam-gun and paying wages? That's right, under the guidance of public opinion, not only is it a benevolent person, it seems that the millions of people in Nanjun are still alive is his credit.
Xuan's biography needs a basis, and there must be a lot of facts, Lu Zhe has really done a lot of things, right?
After the death of the Chu State, a large number of Guiyu tribes were escorted to Xianyang to be kept in captivity, and the Guiyu tribe who escaped by luck was not a lost dog. Think about it a little, what kind of life should a lost dog have, it should not dare to show up, and it is right to be low-key and low-key.
In this state of affairs. Helped someone, dare to say that I am so-and-so? Well, even if it is said to be so-and-so, it is not possible to leave a name for doing good deeds in the current atmosphere, otherwise the person who is being helped will be embarrassed, and the person who will leave a name will also look contrived.
Modern people with an IQ of not less than fifty will understand how Xiang's reputation came from after a little thought, which is why Lu Zhewei looked at Cao Ji with a funny look and talked about Xiang's reputation among the people.
Boasting is also boasting, but Xiang Bian's face is proud, that look really makes people want to beat him.
"Alliance?" When it came to the topic of substance, Lu Zhe was no longer silent: "The Xiang clan now occupies several counties, and how many troops do they have. How much grain and straw there is, and how about the wealth. β
Note that this is not a question at all, just a very flat narrative.
Cao Ji didn't expect Lu Zhe to be so sharp, his cheeks twitched: "Who in the east of Zhangjun has not received the benefits of the Xiang family, the head of the family raised his arms and shouted all over the place, and the servants must be innumerable." β
False, still virtual, without a little substantive basis sounds the most annoying. Hearing this, Lu Zhe frowned.
Zheng Jun's introduction of Xiang's envoys is very in line with the current political situation, so he didn't worry about whether Lu Zhe would doubt whether Zheng was disconnected from Xiang's roots. He saw that Lu Zhe had lost interest in speaking, and he didn't want to form an alliance, and such a good matter would end before he could talk about it deeply, and of course he didn't dare to betray Nanjun's interests. Therefore, he said a little arrogantly: "I rule over more than 2 million people." My lord raises his arm lightly, and 300,000 soldiers can move mountains and seas. As far as my lord can see, there are no ministers in Nanjun and Qianzhong County. Wealth is calculated in shashuo. Strategists are like rain, and fierce generals are like clouds. The majesty shocked the hundred Yue Xiao and fled from the wind......"
Lu Zhe, who almost wanted to hide his face, looked at Zheng Jun spitting and boasting. Cao Zhi and Xiang Wei listened and looked at each other.
Blow, blow, diplomacy is meant to be blown. The difference is whose foundation is hard enough to fist, even if it is fake, it will be true for you.
In ancient times, the alliance needed to be told to heaven and earth, and the ceremony was held in front of all people or some famous people, and any act of closing the door to form an alliance, even if there was a certificate of signing and plagiarizing, if it was true, it would mean that it was a fool.
This is not a formal occasion, and the alliance mentioned by Cao and Xiang is just a temptation, and even if it is done now, it is not really finalized.
Lu Zhe believed that the Xiang clan had the sincerity to form an alliance, even if Fan Zeng was killed by him, it would not be a matter. However, he hadn't thought about it properly, and he didn't think it would be beneficial to have a relationship with the Xiang family, and the chances of being used by Li Yu were far more than cooperation.
ββ¦β¦ Millions of righteous people in the Central Plains rose up, and the loss of land in March of the violent Qin Dynasty could not be measured. The Guiyu people of various countries united to resist Qin, which was in line with the will of the people. My Xiang family has lived in the south for a long time, and I am a minister of the Chu State, so I should not be left behind. Xiang Wei looked at Lu Zhe with a bored face with blazing eyes, and roared: "The rebellion of Junping Nanjun, won 400,000 people, and then got the land of Nanjun. In this way, the violent Qin is approaching, and we will pay to resist the Qin Dynasty and become a prince in accordance with the will of the people. β
Payroll? Doesn't it mean that the Qin State is still too strong to look down, and all those who have the intention of glory and wealth should form a rope.
Even if Lu Zhe didn't know how much he didn't know about the history of the late Qin Dynasty, he also knew that the Dao had been stirred up by himself, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who should have risen up, now didn't know where the Dao was counting lice, and the Guiyu clan of the countries who were not prepared stupidly jumped out to meet the first wave of thunder and slam of the Qin State.
Qin Guo's unbearable behavior has now been seen by smart people, and no one is still proud of how many cities they occupy in a short period of time, and they only hate themselves for being so stupid and unable to see the situation clearly.
The expression on Lu Zhe's face finally became a little more serious: "Has the Xiang clan raised troops?" β
"Uh......" Cao Qi and Xiang Qi Qi were like swallowing flies.
Nanjun is located in Bashu and connects Sanchuan, which is considered a place of many battles, and now the only role of raising the anti-Qin Great Qin is to attract the Qin army that was originally going to send troops to thunder and sweep the caves. The Xiang clan is far away in Huiji County, and now they have not raised the flag and raised troops, so they came to talk about any alliance, is there such a bully?
The so-called risk has an advantage, and it is very easy to expand on behalf of the table in a battle-like place, provided that it can resist the counterattack, Lu Zhe is now doing only one, that is, to build Nanjun into a turtle shell before the situation is unknown, and he will only raise the flag to rebel if he is sick.
"The army will be raised in the near future," Xiang Bian's face was a little red, probably not ashamed and excited: "Now." The whole meeting is also under our covert control. Land is easy to get. β
started again, always saying those shadowless words, and Lu Zhe was not interested in talking at all.
After talking nonsense for a while, Lu Zhe looked at Zheng Jun.
Zheng Jun is a person with eyes, and he stood up when he got the signal: "The boat and horses of the guests are tired, please settle them first." β
Cao Zhi and Xiang Wei didn't achieve their goal, and after a few temptations, they saw that Lu Zhe was not interested in forming an alliance at all, and they were actually not in a hurry, after all, forming an alliance was a big deal, how could it be solved at one time.
Out of the tent. Zheng Jun looked at Cao Ji and Xiang Wei with a very disappointed expression, and the two of them were a little inexplicable.
"How many words did the county lord say?" Zheng Jun asked.
Cao Ji thought for a moment and replied: "There are less than five sentences before and after." β
Zheng Jun said "heh" before saying: "Yes, I asked how many soldiers and horses the Xiang family has, and asked if the Xiang family has raised troops." β
Cao Zhi didn't understand.
Xiang Wei seemed to understand: "Lu Hou doesn't oppose the alliance? β
Zheng Jun said: "The county lord has an alliance with Wu Rui in Changsha. β
"Wu Rui?" Cao Zhi and Xiang Wei glanced at each other and asked strangely: "Who is Wu Rui's descendant?" β
Zheng Jun was a little speechless, and he suddenly smiled: "If the two of you keep talking with such an attitude, the Xiang clan and the county lord will never be allies. β
Xiang Wei went straight and said: "Please Zheng Gong teach me." β
"Wu Rui was originally a small official, but now he governs hundreds of thousands of people. There are more than 100,000 soldiers. "Zheng Jun really wants to serve Lu Zhe, who has come into contact with the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, and now that the Xiang clan has taken the initiative to come, this is an opportunity in his opinion. He looked at the two: "Both, I have to say that your family patriarch made a bad move. Our Lord has accomplished this in just six months. How can the two of them say a few ethereal and rootless words to win them over? If you want to move my lord, please give me substantive words. β
Cao Ji was ecstatic when he heard those words, and he thought that Zheng Jun's heart was to Xiang's family, and he gave a long salute: "Please also ask Zheng Gong to teach." β
Xiang's Guan Zheng Jun's. Lu Zhe controlled the military and killed decisively, and he was extremely dedicated to civil affairs. In his opinion, Lu Zhe is not only "unlearned" about culture. I love to do a little more strange things, and the whole person has almost no shortcomings, and it is just around the corner to follow such a male lord Zheng Shi's development, and his heart is only when his brain is broken.
Again, South County is a battle-ridden place, and its dangers are simply not words to describe. What can be done in this kind of place is to use diplomacy to avoid being besieged and attacked from many places, not only Zheng Jun hopes that Lu Zhe will have a few more allies, but some people in Nanjun who know the current situation of the Dao are not eager to have more friends.
Zheng Jun looked down on the Xiang clan who was hiding in the dark to prepare the Yin people, but no matter how he said it, the Xiang clan could also be used as a bridge to connect the Guiyu clan of the six countries, which was too important for the entire Nanjun, after all, Lu Zhe was not a Guiyu clan but he had a rich army, what could be more important than getting the friendship of many Guiyu clans?
"My lord has no house yet." Zheng Jun has a little bit of cherishing words like gold, and that's all he can say.
Xiang Wei's face changed, he looked at Zheng Jun as if he was ghostly, and he couldn't understand that sentence very well.
Cao Ji was thoughtful, endured and endured, and finally said: "The patriarch wants to establish ambitions for the king of Chu." β
This time it was Zheng Jun's turn to face changed, and he held back his anger: "I am kind enough to help you, but the Xiang family actually wants to harm me!" β
The Xiang family wants the state of Chu to be reinstated, and let ambition become the king of Chu, this sentence is nothing in normal times, and Zheng Jun will only congratulate when he hears it. Zheng Jun hinted that the Xiang clan could choose the daughters of the clan to marry, but Cao Ji offered Lu Zhe as a courtier of the Chu State in exchange. Once Lu Zhe becomes a courtier of Chu State, then Nanjun is not allowed to be invaded by Chu Guoyu, at that time Nanjun is still Nanjun, and Lu Zhe is no longer Lu Zhe.
Xiang Wei smiled: "How come? The Zhao family fled to Hengshan, and then fled to Lujiang, and now he is in Zhang County, and he is already the second person in Zhang County. β
Zheng Jun was silent for a while, unable to know what he was thinking, and finally swept his sleeves: "I can't help myself!" Cao Zhi and Xiang Wei, who were not ideal to speak again, turned around and left.
Sweeping his sleeves in front of people, that is a kind of "Lao Xizi doesn't want to have anything to do with you in the future", to put it bluntly, it is to break off friendship!
Waiting for the three of them to leave, Yan Bi walked out from the side with a smile, and he looked up at the sky for a long time...... For a long time...... (To be continued......)
