"Feng Junan..." In the palace of Han State, Han Jun was dressed in gorgeous clothes and an exquisite leather cloak.
Feng Yun bowed to Mr. Han and replied: "Mr. Han is well. I came in and out of the country of Han before and was given a car by the young master. Now when I enter the country of Han again, I am received by Mr. Han."
"The country of Han is polite."
Mr. Han smiled.
Now that he is old, conquest is the most troublesome thing, but etiquette and face are more and more important.
Feng Yun's name as Lord Feng has been recognized by surrounding countries, especially the small countries that once sent envoys to Yu Yue.
And before that, Feng Yun controlled the water of Pengli Ze. The outlet was still in the border area of Han State. It was so powerful that the statue of Nuwa Fuxi shook the sky. How could Han State not pay more attention to Feng Yun?
You must know that Nuwa and Fu Xi are the common ancestors of the human race. Whether it is the barbarians or the Chinese countries, they all agree with it, and no one dares to contradict it.
At this time, Feng Yun praised Han Guo's etiquette. If this spreads out, Han Guo's prestige will be higher, demonstrating the etiquette of Han Jun.
As for the young master mentioned by Feng Yun, Han Jun also nodded silently.
"Master Feng, come to the palace to talk quickly." Mr. Han held his hand to invite him, but Feng Yun was not polite and entered with courtesy.
When they entered the palace, Han Jun had already set up a banquet.
The golden cauldron was lifted up, and the sheep were cooked and eaten.
Below them are songs, dances, and music played to show courtesy.
Mr. Han was silent, and Feng Yun followed suit.
It's freezing cold, but this pot of mutton warms the stomach and makes the whole body feel comfortable.
After eating, neither of them drank.
Mr. Han seemed to be confused. Feng Yun saw this and took the lead in saying, "Jun Han, I have a favor to ask you."
"Oh?" Mr. Han had a smile on his face. Feng Yun asked him if he had something to ask, which gave him face, so that he would not feel embarrassed or annoyed when he asked Baiyue to send troops.
He is from the Zhou Dynasty, how can he ask for help from a barbarian country?
If Feng Yun hadn't been Lord Feng, he wouldn't have been able to show his face even if he held this banquet.
"I wonder what Mr. Feng wants to ask for?"
Pushing the limits…
Feng Yun didn't care. Face was what Han Jun cared about. What he cared about was actual income.
"Mr. Han... I am ashamed to say that our Baiyue Kingdom has only been established for a few decades, but it has no alliances on all sides and is isolated and helpless. Now Guai is also independent. We, Baiyue, are hunting in winter and have no food for defense..."
"This time, I hope to be friends with Mr. Han, hoping that Han will be able to check and balance Gu Ai together."
Hearing this, Mr. Han laughed.
Earlier, he sent envoys to Baiyue, secretly and cautiously, just not wanting to be known by other countries, in order to mock Han State for its inability to fight against Gu Ai and Gu Meng, and that it needed allies.
In the surrounding areas, Da Ting could be friends originally, but Da Ting is now included in the Wu State. Wu State is at war with Yu Yue and will never provoke Gu Meng and Gu Ai again, so they can only look for Bai Yue.
At this time, Baiyue said that it was Baiyue who came to seek alliance, which made Han Jun overjoyed and his face turned red.
"Alas, there has never been a war between Baiyue and Han. They were already friends. Now that they have formed an alliance, the two countries are very happy!"
Han Jun responded quickly.
The news that Gu Meng had formed an alliance with Gu Ai and wanted to come to Han to seize grain for the winter had given him a headache and embarrassment for a long time.
Han State has grain, but who would have expected that Yu Yue, a big country that has always been stable, would cause so many troubles.
This border split into two small countries, and the country of Han was really difficult to resist.
Instead of being robbed of this food, it would be better to use it to form an alliance with Baiyue and work together with Baiyue to contain Gu Ai and Gu Meng, and he would be able to live in peace.
Immediately, Lord Han said: "I heard Lord Feng said that five hundred stones of corn can allow 5,000 Yue Jia soldiers to be stationed in Dongyue?"
Han Jun probed.
When Feng Yun heard this, he nodded without thinking.
Han Jun was overjoyed.
After the Han envoys returned home, they explained what Feng Yun wanted, and these scholar-bureaucrats calculated the daily food requirements for one armored soldier.
These 5,000 armored soldiers with 500 stones can be said to be very few, and they can only send armored soldiers to the expedition. It can be seen that Baiyue and Feng Yun did not bully them because of the crisis in Han.
Han Jun was thinking in front of him, but he blurted out the amount that he had discussed with the scholar-bureaucrats: "We, Han State, will assist Baiyue with two thousand stones of corn, and Baiyue can also send 20,000 troops to station at the border of Guai for one month. By the end of the month, , if our country of Han adds two thousand reinforcements, the troops of Baiyue can be stationed for another month."
Han Junmu expected that this was the amount he and the scholar-bureaucrats had agreed upon.
At this time, Gu Ai had two soldiers, and Baiyue also sent 20,000 troops. How could Gu Ai dare to form an alliance with Gumei to attack Han again?
On the contrary, there may be a fight with Baiyue, and both sides will suffer.
In response, Han Jun narrowed his eyes and smiled, sitting back with a leisurely attitude.
Feng Yun smiled lightly.
"Of course, Baiyue is lucky to be able to get help from Lord Han, but Baiyue still has one request, which is to be included in the Great Zhou Dynasty..."
"Alas!" Han Jun heard the sound and waved his hand: "It's a small matter, it's a small matter, I'll write it down right now and submit it to the emperor after the end of the month."
Han Jun did not explain how the emperor made the decision.
Hehe, even the scholar-bureaucrats of Han, a small barbarian country, did not believe that it would be brought under the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
And this letter does not cost anything, in their eyes it is not worth a stone of rice.
Feng Yun thanked him for this.
"Thank you Mr. Han for your generosity. In this way, we, Baiyue and Han, can be considered an alliance."
An alliance is formed, but there is no alliance.
There is only food on the table but no writing. It can be seen that Han Guo looked down on Baiyue in his heart and did not want to write with him.
Feng Yun didn't mention this either.
"Mr. Han, I also want to go to several neighboring countries to lobby Baiyue to join the Great Zhou Dynasty. I hope that the country of Han can use me and the few people who are traveling with me to get the recommendation."
"It's a small matter, Mr. Feng can do as he pleases." It seemed that Mr. Han was a little forgetful because he was complimented by Feng Yun, gained face, and perfectly solved the problem of borrowing troops from Baiyue.
Feng Yun smiled and left immediately.
Mr. Han refused to stay and asked his servants to escort him out of the palace.
Sitting on the carriage and horse, we returned to Eden in a short time.
"Fengjun, what's going on?" Manwa lay low and waited with Zou Yan in the house warming themselves by the fire.
"Hanjun agreed to give 2,000 stones of corn to 20,000 Baiyue soldiers to garrison the border of Guai, and another 2,000 would be sent out in one month."
Manwa scratched his head, having no idea about two thousand stones of grain.
Feng Yun said to this: "Two thousand stones of grain are enough for you to feed yourself for hundreds of years."
"Hundreds of years!" Manwa was shocked.
"So much food!"
Feng Yun smiled and said nothing.
Zou Yan, who was on the side, was reading a book and said, "This is still you. If it were me, I would have to eat it for thousands of years."
"Thousands of years?" Manwa laughed hoarsely. He had to eat several times as much as a normal strong man, let alone a little kid like Zou Yan.
Zou Yan put down his book and poured water for Feng Yun.
"Master Yun, this is a month's ration for 20,000 soldiers, but there are 200,000 common people in Baiyue."
Feng Yun heard this and nodded, but then shook his head.
"Common people have a way to support themselves. In fact, we only need to ensure that those who work have food."
"The rest of the Baiyue people can go hunting in the winter to make a living."
Feng Yun will not give away food at will to feed Baiyue's inertia. His food will only be used wisely.
"But we have to send out 20,000 soldiers, and this food is just enough for them." Zou Yan calculated with his hands.
"Are we going to use half the food to support the army and the other half to support the farmers?"
Feng Yun shook his head.
"Our food is to recruit the people of An Guai. Those who are recruited are my Baiyue army."
"In addition to the army, they are also farmers in Baiyue."
"Ah?" Zou Yan was shocked.
Feng Yun smiled and said nothing.
He had never thought of launching an army attack on Gu Ai. Naturally, the armored soldiers stationed in the east would not be Baiyue's elite.
His purpose is to lure the people of Guai with food. Two thousand stones of grain can attract five thousand people of Guai.
Feng Yun wrote a letter, saying that he would leave this matter to Li Yue.
Li Yue manages the least cultivated land, and the An clan stationed under him is also located on the border of Guai, which can help this matter.
But maybe write a letter to the witch and ask An Feng to come too.
"The An clan is hidden in the mountains, surrounded by poisonous mist and miasma, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter. They used the An clan as an excuse to secretly recruit people from Gu Ai, so as not to cause discovery within Gu Ai and the Han Kingdom... But, there was another It’s a favor.”
Feng Yun understands that giving and receiving is always like this. In order to complete this foreign policy, it must also be like this.
However, the food is still not enough. At least 10,000 shi of food are needed to completely stabilize Baiyue's current situation.
You must know that Feng Yun still needs to station armored soldiers in Yao. This is where Baiyue's excellence lies.
"Gu Ai has been involved in the war between Han State and Gu Meng at this time, and it is difficult to fight against Baiyue..." Feng Yun is still paying attention to the alliance between Gu Ai and Gu Meni. Now that they have formed an alliance, it will be difficult for them to break away. With this Han State Now, Gu Ai doesn't dare to touch Baiyue.
"Our enemy today is Yang Yue."
In the eyes of the Zhou Dynasty, Yangyue was also a big barbarian country. If there were no floods in Baiyue next summer, Yangyue would definitely attack it. This would be a big problem.
Moreover, Feng Yun wanted to implement policies in Yao.
When Yang Yue came to investigate, he had to display a large number of brave soldiers to arouse Han's vigilance.
Hurry now!
Think about it.
Feng Yun said: "Place your luggage and we will leave in a few days."
Then he said to Manwa: "I want to write a letter, and you send someone to deliver it to me."
"Who from Baiyue is delivering the letter?"
Feng Yun shook his head.
"I'm going to Da Ting... where I am now in the Wu Kingdom. I have an old relationship with the uncle of Da Ting, so I hope to send a message."
Earlier, Feng Yun sent the "Records of Nations: Da Ting" to the Da Ting clan. In the past few days, Feng Yun felt that there was power strengthening the Da Ting River map that he had transformed from the Green Branch Sacrifice Road. It can be seen that there were already people in the Da Ting. Circulate Feng Yun's ambition and gain recognition.
Also, apart from the basics, most of the Da Ting Chronicles are about Feng Yun entering the old site of Da Ting and what he saw and heard in Da Ting Temple, which completed the missing ancestral history of Da Ting, and will naturally be recognized.
"The fortune of the clan is a rare treasure, and the matter of luck is as mysterious as it is mysterious."
Feng Yun sighed, took out the animal skin, and wrote on it.
After writing it and handing it to Man Wa, Feng Yun summoned several more craftsmen and asked them to send the arrangements for Baiyue to Baiyue and hand them over to everyone in Baiyue.
Externally, Feng Yun said that he sent a letter to the king to explain the alliance with Han, and at the same time waited for Han to prepare food and send it to Baiyue.
A few days later...
In the heavy snow, Feng Yun looked at the corn collected by Han State and sent it to Baiyue. He nodded slowly. This was considered a small step.
On the way back, Feng Yun had already heard many people in Han talking about Yang Yue's plan to take advantage of Han to fight against Gu Ai and Gu Mo and send troops to Han...
In response, Feng Yun's eyes moved slightly.
He asked the rumors to be spread carefully, and those rumors were suppressed by the scholar-bureaucrats long ago and passed on to Han Jun.
At this time, I am afraid that Han Jun has sent Xi Zuo to the land of Yangyue to seek confirmation.
"Fengjun, Fengjun, you are here!"
Feng Yun was riding in a carriage, heard the sound, and asked Manwa to stop.
"What's the matter?" He opened the curtain, and the person who came was the chamberlain of the Han Kingdom Palace.
"Fengjun, Hanjun invites you to come to the palace for a chat."
Feng Yun heard this and said with a smile: "Yu Guan's car and food have already set off, and I was about to leave, but Mr. Han has been treating me politely for a few days. Now that I'm invited, I'll stay for one more day."
"Please ask the chamberlain to get in the car and go to the palace together, so that Mr. Han will not have to wait for a long time."
"No, no, no, I don't dare. Lord Feng just goes to Han Palace."
So, Feng Yun nodded.
He said in Jiuli dialect: "Man, let's go to Han Palace first."
"Creak, creak, creak..." The wheels rolled, and another car mark was pressed into the messy snow on the ground.
Not long after, Feng Yun arrived at Han Palace. At this time, there was a commotion in Han Palace, and the voices of several scholar-bureaucrats could be heard.
"Master Feng is here!" the chamberlain announced.
In an instant, you could hear a needle drop in the palace.
"Master Feng..." Lord Han knelt down at the head of the table and said with a smile: "I heard Lord Feng is going north to other countries, why don't you stay in my country for a few more days so that you can fulfill the courtesy of Han country."
Feng Yun smiled lightly.
A few days ago, after Han Jun told him about sending troops, he stopped summoning him. His enthusiasm was no longer visible to the naked eye.
But at this time, it was different from before, just like when he was first invited. It can be seen that he is a person who only sees benefits and is not a true gentleman.
"Han Jun is polite. In addition to arranging Baiyue affairs these days, Yun is also thinking about how to lobby the Penglize countries in order to jointly recommend Baiyue as a country of Zhou rites."
"Now that the Kingdom of Han has sent out food, I have also made it clear to the King of Baiyue that we should go to several countries north of Pengli Ze to complete the tasks assigned by the King of Baiyue."
"This..." Han Jun was speechless. This incident of Yang Yue happened suddenly. If it hadn't been for the slightest wind blowing, he wouldn't have known that besides Gu Ai and Gu Mei, there was also the threat of Yang Yue!
Headache!
Even in its heyday, Han State was no match for Yang Yue!
"Master Feng, I hope I can help you!" Regardless of saving face, Mr. Han covered his face and sobbed.
"Our country, Han, is now under attack from both sides!"
Mr. Han rambled on and on, talking about all his sufferings. At the same time, people around him also talked about Yang Yue's hatefulness and the barbarians' despicable remarks.
Feng Yun stopped talking and waited for Mr. Han and the surrounding scholar-bureaucrats to vent their anger. Then he handed over his hands and said, "I don't know how you can help me. I, Baiyue, are friends with the country of Han. If I can, I will do my best."
Try your best, no, what Han Jun wants is to do your best!
"Master Feng doesn't know that Yang Yue is arranging his troops to the west of Pengli Ze, and he might be able to do something big!"
Hearing the sound, Feng Yun seemed startled.
He said: "But it's true... Our land of Baiyue also has the junction of Yang and Guangdong. If it conducts military exercises in the west..."
Feng Yun seems distressed.
Mr. Han's eyes lit up, and he followed Feng Yun's words and said: "Yes, several countries around me, Pengli Ze, are all bordering Han State. At this time, Han State is conducting military exercises to the west of Pengli Ze, which is detrimental to all of our countries. !”
"Then, Baiyue quickly sends out troops to intimidate Yangyue!"
Other scholar-bureaucrats also offered their help.
Feng Yun said distressedly: "We in Baiyue have already stationed 20,000 armored soldiers in Guai. How can we station our armored soldiers in the east of Pengli Ze at this time?"
When Lord Han heard this, he hurriedly said: "Conscription, Lord Feng, to promote the power of Guangdong, we must not ignore it!"
Lord Han knew that Baiyue had 200,000 people and could recruit troops, so he invited Feng Yun.
In response, Feng Yun waved his hand.
"No, conscription and no food are all empty talk."
Han Jun frowned, but he relaxed after hearing the news. He looked around, and the scholar-bureaucrats nodded slightly.
Han Jun said hurriedly: "The country of Han is in alliance with Baiyue!"
"Come here, bring me the alliance contract!"
I saw several chamberlains carrying desks and standing up to lay out books in pen, ink and silk.
"Lord Feng, we, Han State, and Baiyue can form an alliance. In addition to fighting against Gu Ai and Gu Meng, we can also fight against Yang Yue together to ensure the stability of Peng Lize and Zhou State!"
