Go to ancient times and engage in construction

Zheng Yuming, Wu Wangsheng and his wife went ashore from the riverside wharf near Xincheng, and Chu Chaohui in black armor led Ma Ren and others stood on the wharf to welcome them.The shiny black armor set off Chu Chaohui's stature, making him stand out in the crowd.Zheng Yuming fixed his eyes on Chu Chaohui from a distance, and once their eyes met, they couldn't move away.

Zheng Yuming and Wu Wangsheng went north in the name of rewarding Wu soldiers who fought in the Tang Dynasty. When they came, the wooden boat was loaded with a lot of fruit, wine and other food. They stopped at the small bay and bought the sea fish that the fishermen had just caught from the sea.

As soon as the wooden boat docked, the sailors first went to the shore to carry the rewards.The soldiers who followed Chu Chaohui to greet them watched the mules and ox carts full of wives pass by, and they kept swallowing their mouths.

The soldiers had stayed in Tang for more than a month, and Tang was short of supplies. Even the food confiscated from the homes of Tang nobles were coarse grains such as millet and millet. Fine rice and flour had to be transported from Wu to Tang.The transportation couldn't keep up, so the soldiers' daily meals were mixed with half rough and half fine. The soldiers had long missed the meals in Wu.The rich food that Zheng Yuming and Wu Wangsheng brought this time will give Wu soldiers a real treat.

Due to the fact that he couldn't get close to Zheng Yuming in full view, Chu Chaohui endured it until Wu Wangsheng and his wife lived in the Tang Palace, and when the entourage dispersed to their respective lodgings to rest, Chu Chaohui announced with a serious face that he had an important State affairs should be reported to the Prime Minister, and no one or dog is allowed to distract and disturb during the reporting period.

That night, the door of the temporary military headquarters of the Tang Dynasty was closed, and Daniel slept soundly in the next room, while Mu Mu squatted outside the bedroom door and was wronged all night.

Chu Zhaohui took too long to report, and Zheng Yuming didn't get up from the big bed in the bedroom until noon the next day.When he came out after washing and dressing, Chu Chaohui was meeting Huang Zhong who had just arrived from Chu State at the office next to the bedroom.

"Huang Zhong, how is the situation there, Young Master Shi?" Because of the inconvenient transportation, Zheng Yuming only received the news that Young Master Shi successfully lured Zhao Xuan back to King Zhao's capital.

"My lord, Zuo Yi has already helped you lead the army back to the territory of Chu State, and is preparing to establish a stronghold in the river bordering Chu. You can harass Zhao State at any time in the future." Huang Zhong stayed in Chu State for more than a month this time, with his hands The son of the lower gang borrowed soldiers and horses, raised and dispatched sufficient supplies to help the son launch a surprise attack on Zhao.

"Huang Zhong, this operation is well done! Zhao Xuan must be very angry. Did he chase into Chu and fight with Young Master?" Zheng Yuming couldn't help but praise Huang Zhong. Based on Zheng Yuming's understanding of Zhao Xuan, the conceited Zhao Xuan He must not let Young Master Shi go.

"Prince Zhao originally wanted to chase into Chu Jing to hunt down and kill Young Master Shi, but the northern Rong people went south to rob, and Zhao Xuan was forced to let Young Master Shi go north to fight against the army."

Huang Zhong's follow-up plan originally wanted to use his young master to lure Zhao Xuan to attack Chu Jing, stir up conflicts between Chu and Zhao, and provoke Zhao Chu to war.The plan was aborted because the Rong people went south to rob.Huang Zhong saw that he could not use Young Master Shi for the time being, so he ordered some matters from his subordinates and Zuo Yi, and then returned to Dacheng to report to Zheng Yuming.Huang Zhong had no choice but to catch up with the big wooden boat that transported supplies from Nanbu to the north.This morning, Huang Zhong arrived at Chu Chaohui's military headquarters.

"The Rong people went south to rob?" Zheng Yuming's smile faded, he knew the way these nomads robbed, it was a brutal and bloody robbery.

"That's right. The Rong people went south to rob on a large scale this time. It seems that more than a dozen tribes formed an alliance to act together." Chu Zhaohui nodded, affirming the authenticity of the news.The drought in the north was severe, and the pastures on many grasslands were dead. The Rong people's cattle, sheep and livestock starved to death in batches.

Huang Zhong went to the state of Chu to plan for his son Shi to use troops to attack Chu. His subordinates got the information and reported it directly to Chu Chaohui. Chu Chaohui already knew about the large-scale southward invasion of the Rong people two days ago, but he was busy with Zheng Yuming last night. Intimacy, I haven't had time to tell Zheng Yuming.

"Well, it's not easy to survive." Zheng Yuming is not a pure nationalist, for the nomadic tribes going south, apart from hating the cruelty of the Rong people's robbery, he also has a kind of sympathy for these northern tribes.In the history of the 21st century, many northern nomads were eventually assimilated by the Han.

"The Rong people invaded the Zhao country, which made Zhao Xuan unable to take care of the Tang country." Zhao Xuan led most of Zhao's troops to fight against the Rong people, so that Chu Chaohui could spend less effort on the Wu-Zhao border.

"Since Zhao Guo can't take care of himself, isn't our plan to annex Qilu more secure?" Zheng Yuming looked at Chu Chaohui.

To Zheng Yuming's surprise, Chu Chaohui shook his head solemnly: "The plan to march into Qilu is about to run aground."

As soon as Chu Chaohui finished speaking, both Zheng Yuming and Huang Zhong were surprised.

"Has something changed?"

Chu Chaohui spread out a stack of secret letters on the desk: "Huang Zhong, take it back and study it carefully, and come see me after you finish reading."

"Promise!" Huang Zhong stretched out his hand to pick up the stack of secret letters written in ghostly symbols, saluted Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui and left, and went back to the military intelligence office to study the contents of the secret letter.These secret letters were sent back by spies from Qilu and Shandong. Huang Zhong, the head of intelligence, went to Chu State, and the person in charge of the intelligence department sent the secret letters to Chu Chaohui.

"Zhaohui, what is the content of the message?" Zheng Yuming hurriedly asked Chu Zhaohui after Huang Zhong had left.

Chu Chaohui walked into Zheng Yuming's side, held Zheng Yuming's palm with one hand, and led Zheng Yuming to sit on the long wooden chair: "According to the latest news sent back by the spies, Qilu and Lu are preparing to form an alliance."

"What? Two deadly enemies shook hands to make peace? Who prompted them to turn their fight into a jade silk?" Zheng Yuming's face was full of surprise.

"Oh, it's because we destroyed Tang too quickly and caused this situation." Chu Chaohui twitched his lips slightly. It only took five days for the Wu army to conquer Tang and defeated the king's capital of Tang.

In the consciousness of the surrounding princes and monarchs, it will take this time to march from the border of Wu State to the capital of Tang Dynasty with the army marching with luggage.However, Wu Guo broke through the capital of the Tang king in just the marching time, and forced the Tang king to attack. This kind of lightning combat speed is really scary.

"We didn't reveal our intention to annex Qilu. Why are the kings of Qilu and Qilu so afraid of us?" Zheng Yuming frowned. If Qilu really allyed, it would be more difficult for Wu to attack.

"When our army went north to attack, the king of Tang sent an old official to Qilu to form an alliance with Qilu to fight against us. It was this old official who persuaded the kings of Qilu and Qilu to shake hands and make peace."

When the king of Tang died, the old courtiers of Tang had just arrived at the palace of the king of Lu to meet the king of Lu.The more than ten years of hatred between Lu State and Qi State cannot be wiped out by the words of Tang State veterans. Besides, Wu State is famous for defeating the Tang master. irrelevant.The old officials of the Tang State lobbied up and down the court of the King of Lu for two days to no avail, so they had to leave sadly to lobby in the State of Qi.

Before the old courtiers brought the mission to the territory of Qi State, the Wu army captured the capital of the Tang king, and the news came that the Tang king was raped in the treasure pavilion of the palace, and along with it came the news that the nobles of the Tang state were ransacked. The old courtier's family is one of them.

According to the Daqin practice, ransacking the house and exiling the whole family are connected together. After hearing the news that their house was ransacked, the old courtiers thought that the whole family had been punished by Wu, so they sat on the ground and cried loudly.After crying, the old courtier felt that he was a bachelor anyway, and decided to go all over the surrounding vassal states to urge the vassal states to join forces to resist Wu and avenge his family.

The old courtier first wrote a long letter to the king of the state of Lu, in which he stated the strength and terror of Wu's army, and at the end of the letter, he laughed at the fact that the king of Lu had a tiger watching him without knowing it, and it would be too late to wait for the tiger with his body.

After the old minister ordered someone to send a long letter to the king of the state of Lu, he continued on to the state of Qi.The same is true in the court of the King of Qi. The attitude of the monarch and ministers of Qi is the same as that of Lu. The old ministers are so angry that they are standing on the side of the abyss. At that time, all the fiefs and family properties of the king's family of Qi will be taken away by the Wu people.When it came to the fierce point, the old courtier bumped his head against the stone pillar of the palace of Qi, and the blood spattered the court of the king of Qi.

Faced with the blood dripping from the head and face of the old courtiers, the court of King Qi was moved and began to collect details of Wu Guo's attack on Tang Dynasty.When the court of the King of Qi knew that the Wu soldiers were invincible and took only five days to attack the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the King of Qi panicked and sent envoys to the State of Lu to discuss the alliance.

"Why did you just copy this old official's house?" Zheng Yuming really didn't expect that there were such capable people in the Tang Dynasty. If this old official's house was not copied, would this old official not risk his life to persuade him?

"This old official is cruel to himself, and even more cruel to the slaves and people in his fief. He copied the most food from his house, and the most people died of starvation in his fief." Chu Zhaohui snorted coldly. It is for his own benefit to go to Qilu as an envoy.

"After the Qilu alliance, it will take a lot of money to annex them." Zheng Yuming sighed.

"I guess it's not just the Qilu Alliance." Chu Zhaohui frowned.

"Ah? The surrounding princes will not form an alliance to deal with Wu, right?" Zheng Yuming became nervous at this moment.

"Hey, it's Lightning Destroying Tang that scared them." Chu Chaohui rubbed his chin. If he had known the consequences earlier, he would have let Ma Ren and Zhou Chengyou beat him up.

Zheng Yuming began to think about countermeasures: "It seems that Qilu has no choice but to move. The most urgent thing is that we have to send envoys to the vassal states to convey goodwill."

Chu Zhaohui pondered for a while, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on his face. "It is necessary to have a good relationship with the vassal states, but the two countries of Qi and Lu can still move!"

"How do you move?" Zheng Yuming tugged at the muscles on Chu Chaohui's face, feeling that the countermeasure Chu Chaohui came up with must be very bad.

"Tell you when no one is around at night?" Chu Zhaohui thought of a countermeasure, and became frivolous as soon as he relaxed his words.

Zheng Yuming raised his eyebrows, pushed Chu Zhaohui's restless hand away, stood up and smiled slightly at Chu Zhaohui: "You don't need to tell me now, but you will move to me alone in the evening!"

"Hey! Yu Ming, I said I was just joking." Chu Zhaohui saw Zheng Yuming leaving his head and walking outside without looking back, hurriedly left the chair to catch up, and pulled Zheng Yuming to explain his plan in detail.

Two days later, Zheng Yuming sent envoys to Emperor Qin and the surrounding vassal states, first explaining the reason why Wu State launched an attack on Tang, and then affirming that Wu State is a peace-loving vassal state, hoping to coexist peacefully with all vassal states and to serve the Emperor of Qin together .

After reading the information sent from various places, Huang Zhong went to meet Chu Chaohui and Zheng Yuming, and the three locked themselves in the room for a whole day.The next day, Zheng Yuming ordered the expansion of the Intelligence Department into the Intelligence Division, and Huang Zhong was promoted from the Director of the Intelligence Bureau to the Director.

After Huang Zhong was promoted, the first thing he did was to expand the intelligence network in the Qilu area and send more intelligence officers to the Qilu area.The additional intelligence agents were originally from the Qilu area. They followed the caravan into the territory of Qilu in makeup, and soon left the caravan and merged with the people of Qilu.
