History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 149 Song Guo Ji Ran (4,000)

The five elements look at the anger.

Around the pass, the aura of Wutu was strong, and underneath there was the flow of Kui Shui.

Yin and yang complement each other, and the bronze grass and flowers on Qiyangyue Military Camp are luxuriant, their roots are tenacious, and they rely on the terrain to become impregnable.

"This camp is quite interesting."

Feng Yun took out the map and looked at the location of Yangyue's camp, which he found on the map carefully. The water and mountains there had the potential to support it.

but.

"Looking at it, it's complex. The more complicated it is, the more likely it is that mistakes will occur, or that there are no rules and regulations, and there is a lack of flexibility."

Feng Yun suspected that the person who set up this military camp was a learned man, but he didn't know what to choose when it came to the layout.

You want to get everything, but you can only get nothing.

"Creak, creak, creak..."

"Fengjun."

Not far from the first military camp, Feng Yun's carriage and horses suddenly stopped.

Manwa opened the car door and saw a man dressed wildly approaching.

"What happened?"

He even ventured into Yangyue to deliver news to Feng Yun.

"Bao Fengjun, there is something different in the Chu State. Previously, the Chu State brought five thousand stones of grain and ten chariots of soldiers and armor. Now, under the leadership of the Chu State's envoys, they entered Baiyue and said they were gifts to Baiyue."

"Do you have any requirements?" Feng Yun asked.

Shake your head carefully.

"The State of Chu wishes to have good relations with Baiyue and does not make any demands."

Hearing this, Feng Yun was not happy about getting the benefit in vain, but instead frowned secretly.

"The envoy coming this time is Qu Yuan from last time?"

Shake your head carefully.

"It's another envoy."

Feng Yunlue said angrily: "Let the king arm the Yao people. I am afraid that the Chu State will use this matter to anger Yang Yue and make Baiyue a target."

Feng Yun secretly said that Mr. Chu has good tricks.

If Yang Yue knew that Chu had sent five thousand stones to Baiyue, no matter what Feng Yun said, he would be afraid of Baiyue and even the countries in the alliance.

And this food and grass will be useless if withdrawn.

Regardless of whether Baiyue accepts it or not, Yang Yue already knows Chu's intentions.

Dilemma.

At this time, Feng Yun went to the capital of Yangyue, which was like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

But the Alliance of Four Nations is here, we have to go!

How to break the situation?

"Baby!"

Feng Yun gave an order, and Manwa hurriedly looked at it.

"Hurry up and ride the black bear to the capital of Yangyue." As he said this, he took out the animal skin and wrote on it that Chu wanted to use the Penglize rebellion to lure Yangyue into a surprise attack, so that Yangyue would be alert.

"As an envoy, I must not mess up. I will leave this matter to you."

Feng Yun is an envoy from the four countries at this time and must not speed up. This is a sign of weakness.

But Chu State's affairs are urgent. If Yang Yue orders troops to be sent out while Feng Yun is on his way to Yang Yue's capital, causing riots in the four kingdoms, it will be too late!

"It's snowing heavily, thank you for your hard work."

Taking the animal skin from Feng Yun, Manwa hurriedly put it in his arms and said respectfully: "It is Manwa's good fortune to be able to work for Mr. Feng."

After that, he mounted the black bear and rushed away, leaving a deep footprint in the snowy mountains.

Look at this snowy land.

Feng Yun sighed slightly.

If there is no snow, we can get to the capital of Yangyue faster.

He said to Xi Zuo who had not yet left: "Now that I have returned home, I will inform the king that I will stay in Yangyue for a period of time. In this year's event, I would like to ask the king to hold a grand ceremony."

Hearing the sound carefully, he promised to leave.

The carriage continued to move forward, Zou Yan asked.

"Master, what are we doing in Yangyue?"

Feng Yun's expression did not change, he took out the picture of the Farmer's Curse and stared at it to explore.

"Containment... We have nothing to back up our words, so how can Yangyue sign a covenant with us and believe us."

"As the Prime Minister of the Four Kingdoms, if I stay in Yangyue, even if Yangyue does not trust me, I will not take action against the Four Kingdoms at this time."

"As long as we wait until next year, the farming will be effective, and it doesn't matter whether Yang Yue trusts him or not."

Hearing this, Zou Yan suddenly realized.

But Feng Yun was thinking about more than just what he said.

What he was thinking about was the problem of Chu State.

The State of Chu was a viscounty state entrusted to the Zhou Dynasty.

It was originally just a small country, but as the barbarian countries in the south invaded and became their own tributaries, collectively known as Jingchu, their power became more and more powerful.

At this time, there were already signs of taking action against Yangyue, the great southern barbarian country.

His use of Baiyue and other countries to make surprise attacks, if Feng Yun had not predicted it before, would probably have been plotted by the Chu State this time.

"If the Yangyue army is attracted by our Baiyue, and the Chu Kingdom makes a surprise attack, then these national soldiers whose country has been destroyed will definitely crowd into our Baiyue land as the living territory is squeezed."

"Civilians are okay, but how can those armored soldiers with spears and armor and Yangyue nobles abide by Baiyue rules?"

He was afraid that if he lost to Chu, he would attack Baiyue, destroy Baiyue, occupy the country, and revive the Guangdong sect!

Then——

The Chu State was ruthless and did not care about the life and death of Baiyue, so Feng Yun did not have to protect the Chu State from planning a surprise attack.

Two days later...

There are few people coming and going, but outside the city of Yangyue, it is bustling with activity.

"Master Feng, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

I saw a young man in his late teens or early twenties, wearing a long gown, smiling handsomely under the city gate.

This person seems to have an extraordinary status in Yangyue, and he is surrounded by many armored soldiers.

And when Feng Yun's motorcade came to a stop, he became even more nervous.

"It's okay, Mr. Feng is not a villain."

It is Zhou Yan, but the spoken language is different from normal Zhou people, and is closer to the soft meaning of Chu Yan.

"I wonder who you are sir?"

Feng Yun got out of the car, followed by Zou Yan.

The man heard Feng Yun's voice and explained: "Yu is from the Song Dynasty. He is an official in Yangyue. His family name is Xin. His name is Lin. Feng Jun can also be called Yu Jiran."

Plan?

Feng Yun had a vague impression, but there were so many famous people in the pre-Qin Dynasty that he couldn't think clearly.

"Yu...Feng Yun."

But it doesn't matter, he, Feng Yun, is now one of the pre-Qin people.

Just the act of angrily killing Yue Jun Yunchang is enough to leave his name in history.

Don't pay too much attention to the celebrities of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, just be content with the situation, follow the same path, and fight if you block the way.

"Fengjun's name is well known to Ji Ran."

Facing Ji Ran's compliment, Feng Yun didn't smile.

"I wonder where my people from Baiyue are?"

Feng Yun was a little uneasy when she didn't see Manba.

Ji Ran heard it and laughed.

"I was recuperating in the city. The night before, I thought it was a wild beast from somewhere. The bows and arrows on the city wall had no eyes, and accidentally injured one of Feng Jun's people. Please be considerate, Feng Jun."

"Feng Jun is at ease." Seeing Feng Yun frowning, Ji Ran hurriedly said: "That big man is fine."

Feng Yun believed it for the time being.

And Ji Ran said again: "Master Feng, hurry up and follow Yu into the city. In this cold winter, the people of Guangdong should be recuperating. If it weren't for Master Feng's visit, Yu would still be under the quilt waiting for noon to have a good meal."

This plan seems to be a free and easy person.

But Feng Yun doesn't think so.

However, we still arranged a convoy to enter the capital of Yangyue.

"I wonder if the King of Yangyue would like to see Yu?"

Feng Yun asked.

When Ji Ran heard this, he immediately said: "If Lord Feng wants to see the king, he can do so at any time."

Feng Yun nodded.

"Then see you in three days. I have gained a little bit and am planning to stay in Yangyue City for some time to recuperate."

"oh?"

This made Ji Ran a little surprised.

Shouldn't Feng Yun rush to Yangyue Palace at this time to meet with the king to seek an alliance?

But now Feng Yun's attitude made Ji Ran have to doubt the authenticity of the information sent by Xizuo.

but……

"Fengjun wants to stay in Yangyue, and as Yangyue's chief minister, Yu Ziran arranges hospitality."

Ji Ran thought about it, and with Feng Yun here, the alliance countries would not attack Yang Yue without authorization, so he made arrangements.

Soon, Feng Yun and Ji Ran came to Yichuan.

"If something happens to Mr. Feng, you can tell Yang Yue Jiabing at any time. That big man is in Yi Chuan... Mr. Feng, please excuse me."

After saying that, Ji Ran left.

He needed to explain Feng Yun's situation to King Yangyue and find out whether the information Feng Yun gave him was true. Is the Chu State really suspected of a surprise attack?

There is no room for carelessness in this matter!

Hurry to Yangyue Palace.

The Yangyue Palace is two or three times larger than the Baiyue Palace, and its palace is mostly decorated with bronze.

As a large barbarian country, Yangyue has rarely worried about the source of bronze weapons in recent years.

So he did a lot of research on bronze ornaments.

"Da Zai is here, and who is Feng Jun?"

He promoted the country of Guangdong to barbarians and refused to submit to the king's rule, so he took the throne.

The King of Yangyue was greedy for enjoyment. The palace was filled with precious animal skins, and there were many women clinging to him. He had no ambition to make progress.

For Feng Yun's arrival, I also wanted to meet celebrities and see how Feng Yun is different from ordinary people.

Ji Ran knew this very well.

but……

"Wang, Yu is here to ask about the affairs of Chu State..."

"Chu State." Before Ji Ran finished speaking, King Yang Yue said: "The spies sent out have not come back yet, so Dazai doesn't have to worry. In this winter, the Chu turtles will not dare to invade Yang.

Cantonese."

Hearing this, Ji Ran shook his head secretly.

But he still said: "King, I have made an agreement with you. After serving in Yangyue for three years, you will show me the remaining skills of the Qi Refiner that Yangyue has collected..."

"Hey, isn't this the end of the New Year? Once the New Year is over, I'll give it to you."

"...Dazai, before reading this Qi Refiner's book, can you find another golden vein for Yang Yue...I recently wanted to make a large couch out of bronze."

Big couch?

Looking at the Yangyue King's strong and chubby figure, Ji Ran sighed slightly.

Bronze castings, the bigger they are, the easier they are to crack. I am afraid that this couch will destroy a lot of bronzes.

"I will search for the king's pulse again before the year comes."

Ji Ran accepted the order, who told him that this extraordinary talent was related to finding the pulse of mountains and rivers.

Hearing this, King Yangyue was overjoyed.

"It will be a big slaughter for you!"

King Yangyue was so happy that he even forgot about Feng Yun.

…

On the other side, Feng Yun entered the post, and Manwa hurriedly came to see him.

Feng Yun checked and found that it was indeed just a minor injury, so he felt relieved.

"Have a good life and cultivate yourself. I will stay in Yangyue for a while."

Feng Yun knew a little about Yang Yue.

The south of the Yangtze River has been a land of barbarians since ancient times. At the same time, it was also a place where the remaining people fled after dynasties changed.

Since ancient times, during the time of Fuxi and Nuwa, great floods brought them to the south and formed tribes. During the Yanhuang and Chiyou periods, there were also Jiuli remnants.

During the Xia period of the Shang Dynasty, there were also Xia survivors.

During the Zhou Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty, there were also Shang survivors...

This Yangyue movement has a lot to do with the Shang remnants.

The Shang Dynasty was the time when bronze began to rise.

From the gate of Yangyue City, Feng Yun had already seen a strong bronze civilization, with many buildings decorated with bronze.

The long swords in the armored soldiers' hands were also very sharp and neatly attired.

Within the country, order is in order. Although it has a hint of barbarism, the roughness hides the finer things, and there are rules that ordinary tribes do not have.

Compared with Yangyue, Baiyue is more like a rabble.

"It is not unreasonable for Yangyue to become a great country and confront the Zhou Dynasty."

Looking at it and sighing.

This smelting method was definitely a national event at this time. Fortunately, Feng Yun also knew Ou Yezi, and his generals also learned the smelting method under Ou Ye.

"The smelting methods required by general armor soldiers also need letters to Ou Ye. I hope I can pass them on."

mine……

Before Fengze was under control, it was difficult to find minerals in Baiyue. However, now that Fengze is under control, there are many exposed minerals in the mountains around Fengze.

Feng Yun thought about this before writing a letter, preparing to send the escort to Yuyue...

But there is a stop.

Feng Yun said to the guard: "By the way, let's see how the war between Yu Yue and Ju Wu is going at this time. I gave "Dayu Fu" to Ou Ye. This Fu can protect Ou Ye from leaving Yu Yue, but Ou Ye's thoughts

But I can’t figure it out.”

Feng Yun sighed secretly.

Ou Ye is loyal, repays kindness, and is an honest gentleman.

Seeing that the Yue State was bullied by the Wu State, I am afraid that they will become soft-hearted.

After handing over the guard, Feng Yun allowed him to leave.

"Dong dong dong!"

Not long after the guard left, there was a knock on the door outside.

When the door opened, he saw a soldier from Yangyue.

"Fengjun, Dazai has arranged for you to live in the Palace of Classics."

Hearing the sound, Feng Yun and Zou Yan who were in the room both raised their eyes, seemingly confused.

During this time in the Tong Kingdom, Feng Yunke went to live in the Tong Kingdom's Classics Palace because Mr. Tong had literary pursuits. And what was the matter with Yang Yue?

Puzzled.

But since we are in the land of Yangyue, and since Yangyue has no humiliation, we naturally follow Yangyue's arrangements.

"Thank you." Feng Yun signaled to Zou Yan, and then Feng Yun and his party packed up their luggage and accompanied the carriage to the Classical Palace of Yang Yue Kingdom.

"Master, does Yangyue also have a palace of classics?"

"I didn't expect this barbaric land... to be so different." Zou Yan opened the curtain and looked out to the outside world. The streets were wide and well-organized. Although they were not as good as those in the Kingdom of Zhou Li, they were rare in barbaric places.

Especially the architectural patterns, the people here are very particular about them.

Feng Yun also sighed at this.

"As long as there are people, there will be development. After all, most people will pursue a better life, so the more people there are, the more prosperous they will be."

"Especially those who have seen glory..."

Looking deep into the depths, there were still ruined places and hungry and suffering people. Feng Yun lowered his eyes slightly, shook his head and sighed.

"Master...that old man is going to die."

Feng Yun looked around and saw a skinny old man, holding on to the wall and slowly falling down.

Zou Yan hesitated, wanting to stop the carriage, and then looked at Feng Yun expectantly.

Feng Yun shook his head slightly.

"He is dead."

Hearing this, Zou Yan was stunned.

The carriage continued to move forward and soon left the road.

"Why would he go out in such a cold weather?"

Zou Yan asked.

Feng Yun heard it before he could answer.

"Fengjun, the Palace of Classics has arrived."

"Get off the car first, and I'll go to Yangyue with you tomorrow to have a look."

Zou Yan heard this and nodded.

When he entered the Palace of Classical Books, he saw Ji Ran, who had previously received Feng Yun, arranging beds and setting up a place in the main hall for Feng Yun to live in.

Ji Ran said: "Master Feng came to visit me in Guangdong. I don't have many people to entertain you when I visit Guangdong. I know the affairs of the literati best. Most of them look for books and classics and treat them as treasures."

Ji Ran raised his hand in greeting.

Feng Yun returned the gift and then entered the palace.

"In the Palace of Yangyue Classics, there are mostly miscellaneous books, not many classics, and no Zhou books. Most of them are brave words. Lord Feng can read them at will."

Feng Yun looked at the Yangyue Classics Palace, not knowing what to say.

Because there are few books in the palace, even compared to the small country Tongguo.

That's more than Baiyue.

Seeing Feng Yun's expression, Ji Ran smiled lightly and whispered: "Don't underestimate this place. Although there is not much here, there is a good book hidden in it that cannot be found in ordinary places."

Ji Ran's expression was casual, not as formal as those nobles.

This time he patted Feng Yun on the shoulder and left with a smile...
