History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 141 Diplomacy·Han’s Alliance

"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 earlier and got a car from the young master. Now when I enter the country of Han again, I am received by Mr. Han."

"The country of Han is also polite."

Han Jun smiled.

Now that he is old, conquest is the most troublesome thing, but etiquette and face are more important to him.

Feng Yun's name as Feng Jun has been recognized by surrounding countries, especially the small countries that once sent envoys to Yu Yue.

And before, 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, and it will demonstrate 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 out his hand to invite you. 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 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 a country of 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, it was face that Han Jun cared about, and 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 allies and is isolated on all sides. Now Guai is also independent. I, Baiyue, have to hunt in winter and have no food for defense..."

"This time, I hope to be friends with Mr. Han, hoping that the country of Han can 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 ridicule Han State for its inability to fight against Guai and Gumei, and that it needed allies.

In the surrounding areas, Da Ting was originally a friend, but now Da Ting has been included in the Wu State. The 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 Hanjun overjoyed and his face glowed 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 Gumei had formed an alliance with Guai and wanted to come to Han to seize grain for the winter had already given him a headache and embarrassment for a long time.

Han State has grain, but who would have expected that Yu Yue, a large 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 hard to resist.

Rather than being robbed of this food, it would be better to use it to form an alliance with Baiyue and work with Baiyue to contain Gu Ai and Gu Meng, and he would be able to live in peace.

Immediately, Han Jun said: "I heard that Lord Feng said that five hundred stones of corn can allow 5,000 Vietnamese armored 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 grain requirement 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 deceive them because of the crisis in Han.

Han Jun was thinking in front of him, but he blurted out the amount that he had already 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 sends another 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, there were two soldiers of Guai, and Baiyue also sent 20,000 troops. How could Guai 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, Mr. Han 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 hands: "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 very much, 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 and writing. It can be seen that Han Guo despised 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 Zhou Dynasty. I hope that the country of Han can use me and the few people who are traveling with me to win the election."

"It's a small matter, Mr. Feng, just do it yourself." 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 keep him 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.

"Han Jun agreed to give 2,000 stones of corn to 20,000 Baiyue soldiers to garrison the border of Guai, and another 2,000 soldiers 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 chatting: "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 civilians 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 of 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 against 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 on the border of Guai, which can help this matter.

However, 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 Meng. 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 Yangyue."

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 Man Wa: "I want to write a letter, and you send someone to deliver it to me."

"Which one from Baiyue is delivering the letter?"

Feng Yun shook his head.

"I'm going to Da Ting... We are 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 family. In the past few days, Feng Yun felt that there was power to strengthen the Da Ting River map that he had transformed from the Qingzhi Sacrifice Road. It can be seen that there were already people in the Da Ting.

Circulate Feng Yun's ambition and gain recognition.

Also, in addition to 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 the 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 started writing 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's fight against Gu Ai and Gu Mo and send troops to Han...

In response, Feng Yun's eyes moved slightly.

He asked people to spread the rumors carefully, and those rumors were suppressed by the scholar-bureaucrats early on and passed on to Han Jun.

At this time, I am afraid that Lord Han has already 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 none other than 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 carriage and provisions 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 have invited him, I will 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..." The wheels rolled, and another car mark was pressed into the messy snow on the ground.

Not long after, Feng Yun arrived at the Han Palace. At this time, the Han Palace was noisy, 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 our country of Han for a few more days so that you can fulfill the courtesy of Han country."

Feng Yun smiled lightly.

A few days ago, Lord Han told him about sending troops and stopped summoning him. His enthusiasm was no longer visible to the naked eye.

But this time, it changed from before, just like when I first invited him. 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 wagons and provisions, I have also made it clear to the King of Baiyue that we should go to several countries north of Pengli Ze in order to complete the tasks assigned by the King of Baiyue."

"This..." Han Jun was at a loss for words. This Yang Yue incident happened suddenly. If it hadn't been for some 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 you can help me!" 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, describing all his sufferings. At the same time, the people around him also talked about Yang Yue's abomination and 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!

"Young Master Feng doesn't know that this Yang Yue is arranging 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..."

The wind seems to be in distress.

Mr. Han's eyes lit up, and he followed Feng Yun's words and said, "Yes, several countries around Penglize are all bordering Han. At this time, Han is conducting military exercises to the west of Penglize, which is detrimental to all of our countries.

!”

"So, Baiyue quickly sent 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 Penglize at this time?"

Hearing this, Jun Han hurriedly said: "Conscription, Mr. Feng, to promote the prestige 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: "Han Guo and Baiyue are in alliance!"

"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, our country of Han 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 the Zhou Kingdom!"
