"Chang'er, if you have the strength, can you try to spread the news that the king of Wu wants to send a large sum of money to Tan, so that Tan will join the Wu again?"
Qiao Li asked Wang Chang.
"It is easy to spread the news, but the most difficult thing is to make everyone believe it."
Wang Chang had some difficulties: To be honest, since he was a child, he knew how to do true things; but for him, it was really difficult for him to do fake things.
"If people believe it, it will be easy to handle: because of the benefits, they will naturally believe it."
Yangliu'er continued this and said.
"Isn't it just the word 'faith'? In the well water in the city, there is a stone tablet with the inscription 'When you see this stone: When you know that you are in trouble, you must seek help from your mother country Wu!', isn't it a good start?"
"Is it difficult? What's the problem? You can fetch water but you have to build a stone monument?"
Hun Xi couldn't help but admire this woman's imagination.
"When the water dries up, the stone comes out; when the stone comes out, it comes back from the head; when it comes from the head, the people follow it, and the water comes back; if they don't follow it, the water runs out. This is how 'faith' is established!"
Yangliu'er talked about her full plan in a leisurely manner.
"The water has dried up? The water in the well is unfathomable. How can you say: Let the water come and go as you please?"
Wang Chang asked puzzledly.
Yangliu'er turned to look at Congcong, blinked twice, and Congcong understood.
"The water source in the upper reaches of Tan State comes from the State of Lu. If someone in the State of Lu helps control the water, it will naturally be 'trusted' whether the well dries up or not!"
Cong Cong knew what Yangliu'er wanted her to do: the humiliation of Princess Lu being broken off by Lord Tan had been weighing on Lord Lu's heart for many years. As long as someone comes to provoke him, Jun Lu is willing to "not see" this "little matter" of cutting off the water of "Tan Kingdom".
"In this way, I will discuss the matters upstream; it is up to you to throw stones and compose songs and spread ballads downstream."
Cong Cong had confidence in Wang Chang's musical talent, so she left engraving, composing, etc. to him; and she had to go to the battle in person, go to the State of Lu, find the right people, and get in touch with the water-controlling officer. .
To be honest, Wang Chang was reluctant in his heart. Any "false" thing would make him feel uncomfortable; but this matter was about rescuing his brother, and he had to do it, so he had to bite the bullet and accept it. Down.
The person Cong Cong went to find in the Lu Kingdom was none other than Yang Hu, who was taken in by the Jisun family and became a retainer.
The Jisun family manages water conservancy.
And from the characters he was entrusted to, Yang Hu became the only key person who could accomplish this.
From what I heard, Yang Hu was very tough and greedy for wealth. Although neither of these two points seems friendly enough, there are advantages: as long as the money is given, his execution ability is top-notch, and he must be able to "as long as the money is collected, the matter will be done properly."
With a lot of money raised by everyone, Cong Cong met Yang Hu and made his intentions clear. Although Yang Hu didn't give her a good look; but for the sake of money, she didn't give her an "ugly" look either. He just asked her to give two dates: "the water cutoff day; the water resumption day". Let her go back and wait for news!
"In addition, I would like to trouble you to send some soldiers to act as an 'intrusion' in the northern border. This gift will help the soldiers supply tea!"
Cong Cong didn't dare to say anything, so he reported in at the time agreed upon in advance, and gave him a large gift package before returning to Tan.
This "recruitment" gift package was specially requested by Piaoliong to be submitted separately.
"One code returns to one code" is the effect of "two-pronged approach".
This Yang Hu, who "collects money to do things" and is not happy at all, has indeed given "flawless" actions; in conjunction with the "stones and rumors" here, the lives of the residents of Tan State in the north have been disturbed.
Among Tan people, no one does not believe that "Wu is the real mother country of Tan"!
The children's song "My land comes to the east, the sun rises; my water comes to the west, and the water flows." was also sung everywhere and floated into the palace.
When the public voice of "returning to Wu" became more and more fierce, the group of "virtuous ministers" in the court who wanted to kill Yang Zhen were attacked by the people one after another, thinking that they were framed, leading to " "Taiping Bo" is no longer "Taiping"; the Lu State in the north harasses them from time to time, because they know that there is no "General Zhao" in charge of defense.
Yang Zhen, who has been under house arrest to be dealt with, has no idea that so many things happening outside are related to him. He eats and drinks all day long, sleeps in the dark, and does not take his own life and death seriously. He is as big-hearted as Just like "it's okay".
Wang Dan went to the Song Dynasty to chase the guard, but it didn't go well.
The minister was not confident about escaping back to the Song Dynasty. After all, not many people welcomed him in the Song Dynasty.
It is said that "the most dangerous place is the safest place." The defender hid back in the Song Dynasty, but he also chose a place that no one expected: he sneaked back to the location of the Hua Clan Ancestral Hall, which was the place where he "failed". But it is also where he has the deepest roots. Although the current "guardian" has been replaced by someone he is not familiar with, there are still a few of these low-level minions who were his subordinates back then.
During those days when we were eating and drinking together, there were a few "heart-to-heart" friends who could provide him with "a place to stay and three meals."
Except for those "confidants", no one else knew that the defender was hiding here, which made it particularly difficult for Wang Dan to find traces of the defender.
Really unable to find anyone, he had to look for Xiang Xu again, hoping to find some hints or clues from him.
Xiang Xu was naturally willing to help Wang Dan with sincerity.
He thought carefully about where the minister might be hiding, and finally pinned his suspicions on the "Hua Clan Ancestral Hall".
"In my opinion, the person is most likely hiding in the place where he came from: the Hua Clan Ancestral Hall."
When Wang Dan thought about it, he was right. This man was meticulous, fearless, and had a very good understanding of human psychology. At times like this, no one would have thought that he would dare to return to the place where he "wrecked"!
"Wait for me to search and platoon!"
Xiang Xu asked Wang Dan to pretend to be a member of the soldiers who went to search and go to the scene to arrest him.
Wang Dan was already very familiar with this place: when the special search team entered the Hua Clan Ancestral Hall, Wang Dan quickly left the rear of the team, took the opportunity to sneak away, walked through the eaves and walls alone, and began his unique journey. "reconnaissance".
Sure enough, from a condescending perspective, he noticed the unusual behavior of several soldiers: they obviously brought lunch boxes that were not "dining in" and entered and exited a small courtyard. They also appeared to be sneaky and mysterious, looking around. Wang Dan's vigilance did not escape Wang Dan's eyes, so he quickly locked onto the small house: a small woodshed that was completely hidden from the sun.
