Wutong Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is first-class beautiful.
This place was originally bought by Lu Jinhe as a place for the Lu family to enjoy outings and leisure, but later it was taken over by Lu Wu and used as his family's home.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
As the things Lu Wu did became more and more shocking, Lu Jinhe became more and more interested in Wutong Village. Although this son was rebellious, he was really capable of doing things. The Lu family could count on him to bring glory to the ancestors and prosper!
When Lu Wu ran away, he abandoned Wutong Villa like worn out shoes. However, in the past six months, under the management of Lu Jinhe's specially arranged staff, Wutong Villa was not abandoned at all, but was even more beautifully maintained.
The road outside the village was re-paved with bluestone strips and connected to the official road in the distance.
There are dedicated people in the village who clean the streets all the time, and the roads are clean and tidy. Even the outer walls of the houses where ordinary villagers live have been repainted, and any open space in the village has been planted with evergreen vegetation.
Nowadays, the entire Zhuangzi is elegant and tidy. At first glance, it does not look like a country manor, but more like the garden of a wealthy family.
The carriages and horses were sparkling, and under the escort of three hundred guards, Yuehou Gouchang and his party arrived outside Wutong Villa.
Lu Wu had already been waiting outside Wutong Villa - it would be considered rude to invite a king like Gouchang to come to Beppu. If he didn't welcome him again, it would be too much. Even Lu Wu would be a little embarrassed. of.
"This place is simple, but it is Lu's former residence. Meng Yue never gave up. I am very lucky to be here in person." Lu Wu first cupped his hands, came forward to welcome him, and said with a laugh.
He is too lazy to treat others, not that he doesn't know how to treat others.
Seeing Lu Wu coming forward, Yuehou Gouchang quickly stepped out of the chariot, reached out to pull Lu Wu's arm, and said with a smile on his face: "Hahaha, what did Uncle Lu say? The mountains and rivers here are so beautiful. Lu Bo is such an outstanding person, so I would like to be blessed with Lu Bo by coming here."
The two walked arm in arm with smiles on their faces.
Behind them, Gou Li and Yu Lan, the sons of Yue Hou, cupped their hands with each other. They were three feet apart and followed Yue Hou and Lu Wu on the left and right.
Gou Li cursed in his heart that Uncle Lu really had no sense of etiquette, and his aesthetics was even worse. He actually brought such a ferocious-looking woman as his official, but his face showed no expression, showing the demeanor of a young man.
Everyone entered Lu Wu's former residence, and the four of them were seated as guest and host. Lu Jinhe sent them, and the maids and slaves with a look in their eyes came up to serve tea and water, and were attentive to all kinds of services.
When Lu Wu ran away, he only took five people from Qiu Tong with him. There were no people in Wutong Village with him. Lu Jinhe knew that the servant Zhuang Ding was not regarded by Lu Wu as one of his own, so he excepted those who did rough work in Wutong Village. Except for the servants of the crops, everyone else has been replaced.
Now that Lu Wu's status is different, it is very possible for his personal attendant to reach the sky. Lu Jinhe will naturally leave such a good thing to his confidants, and will never let ordinary people get involved.
Gouchang knew Lu Wu's temperament, so he said a few polite words, and then asked Lu Wuping to withdraw his attendants, leaving only Gou Li and Yulan. Then he leaned forward slightly, changed the subject, and went straight to the topic:
"The state of Chu is about to decline, and the state of Wu is seeing great power, but I don't know what Lu Bo's plans are for the future?"
Lu Wu waved his hand and said: "A certain family is just a brave man. He has fought enough wars and just wants to find a place to enjoy his wealth."
Seeing what Lu Wu said, Gou Chang's face straightened and he pointed out directly: "If the Wu State can gain a firm foothold in the homeland of the Five Prefectures in the South, it will definitely be in great difficulty after decades of operation, and it will be very difficult for our Yue State in the future. It’s a misfortune rather than a blessing, even in Lu Bo’s land south of the Yangtze River, I don’t think he can be alone.”
"King Wu is kind enough to avoid this." Lu Wu shook his head.
Yuehou Gouchang spoke so clearly that he naturally knew what it meant, but rushing is not a business, so of course you have to act like I don't care - otherwise, how can you get enough benefits?
"The King of Wu is indeed kind." Gouchang, the Marquis of Yue, nodded and acknowledged this.
King Wu personally went to the convoy and showed great sincerity to the world's number one madman. He replaced the five Jiangnan counties with the five southern prefectures. This matter spread all over the world and has already become a good talk.
Of course, the whole country of Wu wanted to take advantage of the crisis, and no one mentioned the plan to strangle Lu Wu. They only said that the king and his ministers were in harmony. The King of Wu used the title of uncle and great sincerity in exchange for Lu Wu to return the hometown of Wu.
"However, there is no immortal person in the world. King Wu is kind, but the future successor may not be as broad-minded as King Wu." Yuehou Gouchang said.
"King Wu is now at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is too early to wait for Yue to say this." Lu Wu shook his head and said.
"Those who do not plan for a long time cannot plan for a short time - I would like to say something unpleasant: if the king of Wu gets old and his successor comes to power, I am afraid that Lu Bo will not be able to lift the halberd by then. If the king of Wu is against The Deer Kingdom intends to annex it, how will Uncle Lu deal with it?"
When it comes to extending life span, among the three types of super-powerful people, Taoist Taoist priests are the first, martial arts masters also have a life span of 150 years, but military strategists and generals have the same life span as ordinary people - it is not without cost to introduce evil into the body. of.
Therefore, Yuehou Gouchang's words are not nonsense.
Lu Wu curled his lips slightly.
Not to mention King Wu getting old, even if King Wu's bones turn to ashes, I will still be alive and kicking - he is not a real fighter, and he will live forever in the future.
Of course, Lu Wu would not say this directly. He just said: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I will be half dead at that time, why do I care so much? What's more, Wu Guo will take over the five southern prefectures and have to face the I'm afraid it's still a matter of uncertainty whether we can securely capture Chu's army."
Gouchang, the king of Yue, nodded secretly in his heart.
How could there be anything silly and sweet?
If the Five Prefectures of the South were really a big fat piece of meat, how could the world's number one madman be willing to give up? Isn't it forced by the situation?
Not to mention that Lu Bo came from a merchant family and had little financial background. Even if he gave the five southern mansions to the Yue State, Gouchang would not be sure to take them.
Chu State has been operating in the five southern provinces for thirty years. That is no joke.
When the time comes, Chu's army will press on the territory, and there will be echoes from inside and outside. Even if Yue sends more troops than Chu, it will be difficult to defend the five southern prefectures.
What's more, separated by a river, it is impossible for Yue to mobilize its army more conveniently than Chu.
That is to say, the five southern mansions are the homeland of Wu State. First, they have the right name, and Lu Wu suppresses the local nobles. Most of the nails planted by Chu State have been pulled out, and the major nobles of Wu State are eager to return. The ancestral land, everyone is united, the weather is favorable, the location is favorable, and the people are well equipped. Only then can we be sure to take over the land of the five southern prefectures.
Otherwise, King Wu may not be willing to exchange the five Jiangnan counties for the five southern mansions - do you really think that developing the five Jiangnan counties will cost no money?
However, Lu Wu would say this, and Yuehou Gouchang had already expected it.
Just when Gou Chang, the Marquis of Yue, was about to continue to tell Lu Wu how powerful he was, someone from outside came in and reported: "To the general, the King of Wu is about to arrive outside the village in his chariot. Please make a decision to the general."
