One month later——
Because of Feng Yun's policy, Baiyue borrowed the road to Yangyue, but was defeated and fled. The Yangyue king was able to take away only some members of the clan and loyal soldiers of Yangyue, and few Yangyue people had the opportunity to follow him. its leaving.
At this point, the war between Yangyue and E came to an end due to Baoxiang's death.
The Chu State used all its strength to devour the land of Baiyue!
…
"Have you heard? Your Majesty is requesting a knighthood from the Emperor for the victory over Yang Yue!"
"Buzz buzz..."
On the streets of Chu State, a person said this, and there were endless comments and echoes around him.
Feng Yun was wearing a curved robe with velvet lining. Hearing the sounds around him, he also sighed.
"The people of Chu admire Zhou's etiquette and hope to be recognized by the emperor as a polite people. Now that the king of Chu is taking this opportunity to ask for a title, it's hard for anyone in Chu not to be happy."
Looking at the Chu people who were happy and talking to each other, Feng Yun smiled and shook his head.
The guard on the other side, Xiang Yan, also looked happy, but did not notice Feng Yun's unusual behavior.
"drive!"
"Give Way!"
Qu Yuan rode his horse and headed towards Chu Palace.
Feng Yun pulled Xiang Yan to the side and let him go like the Chu people around him.
"Yangyue is unsettled again."
Xiang Yan frowned.
Yangyue was captured, and the Chu State tried its best to control it and manage the remaining people in various places. However, even if there were no major disasters, there were constant minor disasters.
For this reason, Sun Shuao sent Qu Yuan to Yangyue to take charge.
But even so, it's still troublesome.
But now, Qu Yuan has returned again. He is afraid that he will encounter some trouble again, otherwise he will not return in person.
"This is normal." Feng Yun looked at Qu Yuan, who was going away to report the political figures to Lord Chu, with a wave of emotion in his eyes.
"Even when King Yangyue was there, there were bandits and chaos in the land of Yangyue, let alone this time of change of kingdoms?"
"At this time, all the officials and generals from Yangyue who were sent far away will become the thieves they were before."
After sighing, Feng Yun stopped talking.
Xiang Yan asked.
"Fengzi, isn't there a way to solve it?"
Feng Yun smiled.
He is not an official of Chu, nor is he a guest of the King of Chu. The Prime Minister of Chu is here, so what can he have to discuss?
"Everything is in vain, and no one person can fix it. Chu has its own wisdom, doesn't it?"
Feng Yun said: "Let's go. Today we agreed to visit the place where red paint is produced."
"No." Xiang Yan was helpless.
…
Chu Palace——
"Your Majesty, most of the cities in Yangyue are now occupied by Chu, but many Yangyue people have brought their families to the mountains and harassed them from time to time. I would also like to ask your Majesty to order Chu officials to go out to Yangyue to serve in order to resist the attacks from various places. chaos."
In the hall, Qu Yuan was sitting on the banquet, and next to him was the Prime Minister Sun Shuao, and there were some scholar-bureaucrats on the left and right.
Your Majesty is in the chief position, looking at Qu Yuan as if he is thinking.
He motioned to Sun Shuao who was beside him.
At this time, Sun Shuao was in charge of political affairs.
Sun Shuao just thought for a moment and then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the officials of Chu State are very limited. If it is good to occupy one city, but the whole of Yangyue... will transfer officials there, which may affect the development of Chu State itself."
Chu Jun frowned.
"Is there no one in my heart?"
"Um?"
"I Chu Mingming is so... uh."
Lord Chu wanted to say that there were so many powerful and powerful families in Chu State, but if he really arranged them like this, it would be the same as enfeoffment.
Enfeoffments must be enfeoffed, but they must not all be given out.
In this regard, Chu Jun did not go deeper. This important matter was his shortcoming.
"What can the Prime Minister do?"
Chu Jun asked.
Sun Shuao saluted and said: "The land of Yangyue has many mountains and fields and few plains. It is not as open as our Chu land. I, Chu Buruo, choose the main ones and control them, leaving the rest free."
"The soldiers from Chu will be trained and then sent to Guangdong to expand the cities in Guangdong."
When Chu Jun heard this, he pondered...
"What about the Yangyue survivors, where will they move and who will control them?"
Feng Yun's strategy reduced the number of battles for the Chu State and easily captured Yangyue, but it also left too many Yangyue survivors. At this time, he had food in hand and could control one or two, but he could not just control it without turning it into something. Chu's labor requires a long-term plan.
Where to move?
The Chu region is not as rich as Yangyue. If we really move to the Chu region, who would agree?
Sun Shuao knew this very well, and so did the scholar-bureaucrats in the palace.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let me go to the Palace of Classics to discuss with Fengzi?"
Hearing the sound, Chu Jun snorted coldly.
"Why, with the talent of the Prime Minister, there is nothing we can do?"
Although he said this, Chu Jun knew Sun Shuao's talent.
He had only been in power for a few months, but the development of Chu State was in order and more prosperous than before. Just talking about the cost of the war with Yangyue, under Sun Shuao's policy, it was not worth mentioning to Chu.
This shows Sun Shuao's ability to govern domestic affairs.
In response to Chu Jun's rhetorical question, Sun Shuao shook his head.
"Your Majesty, this policy of pacifying the remnants was proposed by Fengzi. I also read Guofengzi's book, and based on the feelings of promoting Cantonese, I formulated a 'strategy of attacking with gentleness', and took over this task."
"However, the affairs of the country are so great that even if the minister is proud, he cannot act with pride. Therefore, he hopes that the wisdom of many wise men will choose him to be suitable for the administration of the country."
After Sun Shuao finished speaking, he looked around again.
"If you have any strategies, you can present them one by one and discuss state affairs together."
Hearing this, Chu Jun nodded. He knew that Sun Shuao was a rigorous person.
He was not impatient about this either.
He glanced around and nodded, showing his support for Sun Shuao.
Seeing this, many people spoke up.
Among them, Qu Yuan also expressed his thoughts, which surprised Chu Jun. This thought was different from those around him.
But I feel relieved when I think that Qu Yuan studied Taoism and it was he who copied Fengzi's book.
Observe the world and control it.
This is Qu Yuan's strategy for the emperor after observing the situation in Yangyue during this period.
"..."
...By the time he finished speaking, it was already dark.
"Back off for now, let's discuss it tomorrow." Chu Jun signaled to Sun Shuao...
And at night, in the palace of classics——
"Fengzi."
"Fengzi."
Qu Yuan and Sun Shuao both went to the Palace of Classics.
The maid pours tea...
"I wonder why you two are here?"
"I am stupid." Qu Yuan bowed first and said to Feng Yun: "I have been in Yangyue for nearly a month, but the chaos in Yangyue has not been solved. At this time, I have to come to Fengzi for ideas."
Came to ask for advice...
Feng Yun nodded and looked at Sun Shuao on the side.
Sun Shuao knew that Feng Yun was a straightforward person, but at this time he was not as oblique as Qu Yuan.
He spoke frankly about the situation in Yangyue at this time and told everyone in the hall today what they should do.
Qu Yuan's strategy was for the end——
If there are not enough people to govern the country, you can first use troops to suppress it, move low-yield cities, and stabilize the people. Wait for the people from Chu to come out, and then take charge...
Qu Yuan hoped to look to Feng Yun, as if he wanted Feng Yun to comment, but he was afraid that Feng Yun would be dissatisfied.
Sun Shuao said with a smile.
Feng Yun pondered for a while.
"Although the temporary solution can solve the problem of the lack of many scholars in Chu, it cannot solve the chaos caused by the harassment of the remaining people in Guangdong."
After hearing this evaluation, Qu Yuan was disappointed.
He saluted and said, "Fengzi, this strategy was inspired by Yu Guanfengzi's "The Kingdoms: Baiyue". At this time, I am not good at learning, so I ask Fengzi to take charge of it."
Feng Yun saw it and groaned.
"But it's doable."
Qu Yuan was pleasantly surprised and exhaled.
Feng Yun looked at Sun Shuao and asked.
"I wonder what Prime Minister Chu will do?"
Everyone's strategy was discussed, but Sun Shuao did not express his thoughts.
Sun Shuao smiled.
"The people of Yangyue and Shunchu can be gathered together to form a main city, and Dr. Qu can be in charge, so that it can be built into a big city."
"There are no plains in the land of Yangyue. There is little farming and there is no need to build small towns."
"There are many mountains and copper mines, which can be the copper smelting land of Chu. Its people make a living by mining mountains and casting copper... We in Chu can provide their food and control them. When the copper tribute from their family reaches the standard, they can enter The land of Chu is the people of Chu."
Simple, clear, once and for all.
Feng Yun nodded. He got it through hard work. The job was single, but he was also a people who stayed in the same place. He could live without moving.
This policy also has the shadow of Feng Yun - the people of Huayang Yue are called Chu.
Thinking...or maybe Feng Yun has already had a draft, and now he is just polishing it after getting more information about Yang Yue.
"Yu Guan, the land of Yangyue does not need many cities..."
As soon as these words came out, Qu Yuan, who had chosen many cities to wait, bowed his head in disappointment.
Feng Yun shook his head slightly, Qu Yuan's nature still needs to be experienced.
"However, the land of Yangyue is vast, and it cannot be limited to just one city..."
"It's not like this. Let the capital of the Yangyue Kingdom be the main city, and the main roads in all directions be the city. The main city will be used to station the troops of Chu. The poor people who moved to Chu will be brought to work. Qu Yuan will rule it, and it will be a place where military supplies are smelted and soldiers are cast. "
"As for the Sifang towns... I'm looking for a person with prestige who is still alive in Yangyue at this time, and let him summon the remaining people to form a town on his own; while Chu controls his lineage and governs the country."
"The so-called Chu control of its territory means that each town is not allowed to grow food, and can only mine mountains and mines as its main business, supplemented by other things, such as mulberry silkworms, weaving, hunting, and fur. Chu can exchange them for grain and Chu money to ensure the needs of the people. .”
"And when the remnants get Chu money, they can circulate it in the main city, communicate with people in other towns, and also communicate with the people of Chu."
"The so-called ruling the country by one country... It is this group of people who are causing chaos in Yangyue at this time."
"There is no need to supervise, as long as you control their connections and marry people with the surname Mi, those in power will take the initiative to learn the rules of the Chu people, govern for Chu, and order the remaining people of Yangyue below to learn from Chu."
"At that time, the remnants will make a living on Chu, no different from Chu, and there will no longer be chaos among the remnants of Yue, and there will no longer be the promotion of Yue."
…
After Feng Yun finished speaking, Sun Shuao and Qu Yuan both thought about it.
The strategy is compatible with the wishes of both of them. It not only pacifies the remnant people in a place, but also takes advantage of the chaos to honor the political leaders of the place...
"Wonderful, Fengzi's strategy is brilliant!" Qu Yuan stroked his palm.
On the contrary, as long as he sits in the main city, goes on inspection tours, or sends a few petty officials to supervise, he can govern Yangyue without seeking political talents from various places.
As for those Yangyue people who caused rebellion and became powerful people, they would naturally maintain their status and even flatter Chu, even more so than the Chu scholars.
Qu Yuan smiled.
But Sun Shuao was not seen deep in thought...
He raised his eyes and met Feng Yun's unwavering eyes.
Feng Yun nodded to him.
Sun Shu'ao is nana.
"This is Chu and Zhou..."
If Feng Yun's strategy could be successful, wouldn't it be the same as the current Chu and Zhou states?
The dignitaries of Chu State studied Zhou etiquette as much as they could, and regarded Zhou etiquette as their superiors, in order to seek Zhou's approval!
His flattering gesture is exactly the same as what Feng Yun expected from Yang Yue...!
Sun Shuao was sad and frowned.
Looking for the solution...
Only when he was in the center did he know that Feng Yun's plan was perfect!
How to solve it?
How to solve it!
At this time, the people of Chu were singing and dancing for joy because the king of Chu had invited him to the throne. The people were greatly shocked. Sun Shuao dared to tell the true relationship between Chu and Zhou Li. He was afraid that the next moment would shake the foundation of the country and split the people's hearts. What a tragedy. !
At this time, Qu Yuan calmed down a little after getting a good idea and looked at Sun Shuao and Feng Yun.
His grandson Shu'ao looked sad, as if he had been struck, and was stunned.
And Feng Yun looked out the window, where the moonlight seemed to be waiting...
"Prime Minister, is there something wrong with Fengzi's strategy?"
When Sun Shuao heard this, he woke up and said in a low voice: "No, Fengzi's strategy is wonderful. It is a great strategy for governing the country. It is like the rising sun. It is irreversible. It is a Yang strategy."
"For a long time, Yangyue and Guangdong have all turned to Chu. If Chu recognizes it as its people, it will be the people of Chu. If it does not recognize it, its heart will be like a duck."
After receiving this reply, Qu Yuan bowed and hurriedly found a silk book to record Feng Yun's words.
At this time, Sun Shuao took advantage of this and asked Feng Yun in a low voice.
But Feng Yun took the lead and said: "Everyone in Chu knows how to view the world, live in the world, and control the world. They should also know that the general trend is the same and it is difficult to reverse it."
"Aren't the affairs of Chu State not the state of affairs of other countries?"
All countries...yes, except Zhou, all countries were trapped by Zhou rites.
"This is a general trend, and it is difficult to reverse it. Chu's current trend is at the peak of worshiping Zhou's rites. How can we take action?"
"It can be seen that the "Book of Changes" says that since the Ji Gua - the peak of prosperity has turned into decline, let's wait for a while and see what happens to Chu after this peak, and then think about its strategies."
"If we forcefully go against the trend, we may stand in opposition to heaven and earth, and humans in opposition."
Feng Yun travels for the human race, how to confront the human race.
Hearing this, Sun Shuao also sighed.
Feng Yun didn't want to take action at this time, but he would still inform Chu Jun to find corresponding measures.
"This time, I'm sorry for bothering you."
Sun Shuao stood up and saluted Feng Yun.
On the other side, Qu Yuan copied it completely, and like Sun Shuao, said goodbye to Feng Yun.
Qu Yuan's interest is now at its peak. If this plan is carried out, he will also achieve great results in the main city and administration in one place.
That is an entire Yangyue country!
Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.
The Palace of Classics fell into desertion again.
Late at night, Feng Yun looked into the distance...
"Mr. Shen Yinhua has not played the piano since he returned from Zeng Guo."
Shen Yinhua, a miserable person under the dictatorship of the powerful people in Chu State.
Thinking of Sun Shuao, he was worse than Shen Yinhua's clan, but he was the prime minister of Chu.
"It seems that the king of Chu also discovered the shortcomings of the dictatorship of the powerful people in Chu, so he sought a person who was not from a wealthy family to take an important position to balance the powerful people in Chu."
"Mr. Sun Shu'ao is the person who is balanced, and Mr. Shen Yinhua... is the person who Chu Jun found out and thinks is not enough for him to be the person who is balanced."
After thinking about it, Feng Yun sighed for the monarch of Chu State at this time.
He has the wisdom to recognize people, the heart to appoint people, the determination of a king, and the power to command troops...
"If Chu is in his hands, it will be in vain if it does not prosper. But no one is perfect, so what is his shortcoming?"
Feng Yun thought to himself.
If it were before, he would not specifically look for flaws in a person, but after the battle of King Baiyue, he had to look for them.
The last words of the King of Baiyue before his death were so touching...
…
At this time, Baiyue Kingdom, on top of the city wall——
The second elder came with information.
"King, King Yangyue captured the city of Ai and changed Ai to Houshang!"
Post business?
"Oh, Hou Shang...this King of Yangyue, has such wisdom?"
Li Yue sat high on the city wall of Baiyue City, softly gazing at the starry sky in the west.
"Send five thousand stones of rice and ten chariots of soldiers to the Later Shang Kingdom as a gift..."
The second elder on the side was shocked.
"King, half a month ago the King of Yangyue fled to Ai with his remnants. I, Baiyue, have given me five thousand stones of rice and ten chariots of soldiers and armor. In addition to borrowing the road, I have repaid the original kindness and even more!"
Li Yue's eyes turned cold and she smiled indifferently.
"My purpose is to let the later merchants owe me the favor of Baiyue, so that the people of the later merchants will remember it in their hearts... If the later merchants have any requests... If they ask again, except in case of war, I will agree to it and declare it, so that their citizens can use my Baiyue. The more respected you are.”
The second elder was about to speak, but Li Yue raised her hand and stopped, taking another longing look at the western night sky.
She said: "Second Elder, you should think more about how to go south and attack South Vietnam so that they all respect Baiyue. Don't worry about this trivial matter."
"Da da da……"
In the cold night, Li Yue left, followed by the servants and armored soldiers, and went down the city wall, riding on a huge beast chariot, heading towards the palace.
Chariot canopy.
The moonlight shines slantingly but the eyes cannot be seen.
I only heard a faint voice: "You let me borrow the passage, I borrowed the passage, and I will prove the benefits of borrowing the passage."
"If you let me march south, I will also prove that the south march is an opportunity for the rise of Baiyue, and it is correct."
