Fuji [Four Beauties]

As far as the matter is concerned, the existence of these thousands of Yue soldiers is indeed a huge consumption.The rations they need every day, the weapons they use, and the amount of other supplies are very large.Moreover, Goujian is still gradually increasing the number of soldiers.In terms of weapons, they are constantly being equipped with better ones.All of this was done in secret.Now the number of soldiers has gradually grown from [-] at the beginning to [-].Whether it is food or other aspects, it is a big expense.

The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while.If you want to train an invincible army, the price you have to pay is very high.What's more, it is their special forces in a certain sense.In the general army, soldiers in the army can participate in labor and production by taking turns farming.However, just because they are a shady army, they can only hide in the deep mountains.Apart from training and fighting, there is no way to participate in other labor.So, there is no way to be self-sufficient.

Compared with these soldiers, the food that the girls need is not so much.However, their eating standards are much better than ordinary people.Because when they came, this group of girls from the Yue country, apart from their outstanding looks, were very lacking in temperament, words and deeds.Moreover, because of long-term physical labor, their hands, feet and skin are very rough.If you want to change from the inside out, you can't just rely on training and teaching.

Therefore, Mrs. Goujian also provided them with many nourishing and warming things to beautify the girls.She also had someone come and furnish them with elegant and splendid clothes.Starting from the daily food, clothing, and behavior, little by little, cultivate the temperament of the girls.These are all necessary and costly.

Because of the defeat in the war and the annual tribute, the power of the Yue State was empty.It is very difficult for Gou Jian to support them now.Who would have thought that there would be a severe drought.Not to mention them, it is still a question of whether the lives of the people of Yue can be saved.After some officials made such a suggestion, Gou Jian was also very hesitant.

This year, the country's food basically has no supply, and the great famine is coming.What about the people of Vietnam?What about the tribute paid to the state of Wu?What about the group of Yue soldiers and Yue girls?These are all major issues in front of him, making him restless.

The so-called good things do not go out, and bad things travel thousands of miles.

The drought has become like this, everyone knows that this year the country of Yue is going to suffer a severe drought.Even the girls in the mountains know about it.They were originally peasant girls, so they were naturally very clear about this.

What should I do?

Goujian was not the only one who was worried, but the soldiers and girls of Yue State were also worried.They are all citizens of Yue, and they all have relatives. If there is a severe drought in Yue, what will their relatives do?

When Yue Nu told Song Ci about this, Song Ci was not surprised.The country of Yue has been so dry that most of the trees in the deep mountains have withered.Think on your toes, you know what's going on outside.Song Ci had been thinking about this for a long time.She's conflicted, and if she doesn't know how to resolve it, she's relieved.Natural disasters and man-made disasters have happened since ancient times, and they were not caused by her, and there is nothing she can do about it.But she just knew what to do.If she does nothing, it doesn't make much difference to herself.However, it was hard for her to accept that she watched so many people starve to death.

Therefore, during this period of time, Song Ci has been a little restless. From time to time, she would ask the Yue girl about the situation to see if Goujian and the others have found any solution.Yue Nu is also very concerned about this matter, but every time the news she brings is not very good.The whole country of Yue was at a loss, and everyone fell into a panic of food shortage.

"What about the language? What is he doing?" Song Ci couldn't help asking.

"What did you mention him for?"

"Hasn't he thought of something?"

"No, why do you think he can figure out a way?" Song Ci didn't answer.

In Song Ci's memory, Yeshi Zhongzhong once proposed a similar method, but it was not to solve the problem of famine|famine.He once asked Gou Jian to lie that Yue State was hit by a severe drought and the land was barren, so he ran to borrow grain from Wu State, and made an appointment to return them when the next year's harvest was good.In fact, Yue State was not short of food at that time, and the reason for borrowing food was to play tricks.

In the second year, when it was time to return the grain, Wenzhong asked people to choose the best grain and return it.The people of the state of Wu saw that the grain sent by the state of Yue was very good, so they used it to sow seeds.However, these grains were only sent to Wu after being half-cooked.Therefore, if there was a famine in the state of Wu back then, and many people died of starvation, the state of Wu would be greatly weakened.This is really a very powerful trick of harming others and benefiting oneself.

Song Ci waited day and night, waiting for Wenzhong to propose a plan to borrow grain from Wu.She is also very contradictory. On the one hand, she does not want the people of Yue to starve to death, and wants to borrow food from Yue.On the other hand, she was afraid that Wenzhong would come up with a strategy of half-steaming the grain.The people of the State of Yue are human beings, and the people of the State of Wu are also human beings. They are all innocent, and they all have human lives.

However, after waiting for so long, Wen Zhong still hasn't moved.If no measures are taken, people will really starve to death.Song Ci thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind.If the person who died was Yue Wang Goujian, she would not care.But such things as natural disasters have no national boundaries.Since she can do her best, she will naturally help.

So, Song Ci said to Yue Nv: "I have a method, which may work. You know I can't tell Goujian, please tell him."

"In what way?"

"Go to the state of Wu to borrow food. Now Wu Wang Fucha is relatively loose against Goujian. As long as he puts forward certain conditions and then bribes Bopi, he may succeed."

"Will Fu Chai agree? Will he just ignore his death and watch the Yue Kingdom perish by itself?"

"It's very possible, so I have to mention a condition that makes him very excited."

"What conditions?"

"Let Goujian be a hostage and go to Wu to be a slave again. Such conditions will definitely show Fucha the sincerity of Yue."

"...Goujian finally came back, I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to return to the pit of fire."

"That's up to him. The Yue Kingdom is his Yue Kingdom, and the people are his people. As the great king of the Yue Kingdom, if he refuses to save him, then there is nothing to say. He deserves to never stand up."

"You can't let me tell Gou Jian directly."

"You don't need to say, as long as you tell him this method, someone will weigh the pros and cons for him, and someone will talk to him." Song Ci waved his hand.Gou Jian and his men are not a bunch of fools, as long as someone mentions it, the rest is their business.

There is actually a reason for Song Ci to add this condition.To put it more righteously, if Goujian really went to Wu as a hostage, then they would not dare to make a fuss about the grain returned to Wu by Yue.Food is weak and Wu Ji is very important, but Goujian is more important.If Wu Guo finds out and knocks Goujian off, then all talk will be over.To put it a bit more selfishly, if Gou Jian went to be a hostage, he wouldn't be able to run into the mountains twice in three days.Song Ci didn't need to waste his brains, he was dealing with him and his wife, seeing their disgusting faces.How to say, this is all things that kill three birds with one stone.

Yue Nu thought about it all night, and told Gou Jian about this method.

According to Song Cijiao's own words, Yue Nu did not analyze the pros and cons for Gou Jian, but just proceeded from her standpoint, and according to the logic she could think of, she proposed a way to borrow food from Wu Guo.

"Isn't the state of Wu the superior state of the state of Yue? If the state of Yue is in trouble, the state of Wu should help. If the king of Wu refuses to agree, the king will go to ask him himself, and he will give the king some face no matter what." Said so.The so-called go to him personally.It can be understood as, literally, a trip to the country of Wu.As for Wu Wang Fucha's reaction and what conditions he would put forward.Whether you can come back after going, only God knows, and that is not what Yue Nu considers.

This is Song Ci, the ambiguous and ambiguous rhetoric taught to Yue Nu.The method is very clear. As for how to understand and use it, it depends on them.

Yue Nu's words can be said to stir up a thousand waves with one stone.The civil servants and generals under Goujian immediately had a heated discussion on this.Agree, disagree, compromise, refute, there are all kinds of opinions.

Only Gou Jian did not comment.After Yue Nu said these words to him, Gou Jian's face became ugly.When I worked hard for Fu Chai in Wu country, everything I suffered is vivid in my memory.The shame and humiliation he has suffered is not at all, let Fu Chai, the king of Wu, pay it back.His deep hatred is still waiting for him to avenge it.If he went back to Wu country now, would he still be able to walk back alive?Can he still realize his ideal of bearing humiliation and revenge?

Over there, the officials of the Yue Kingdom had heated discussions one after another.Here, King Goujian of Yue was unusually quiet.After a lot of verbal battles, everyone realized that their king had an unusual reaction.Suddenly realizing something, they all fell silent and kept silent.They all looked at Goujian, waiting for his decision.

Now the fate of the whole country of Yue, as well as his own fate, is in Gou Jian's thought.In the end, what decision will Gou Jian make?Everyone waited with bated breath.The humble conference hall was eerily quiet for a while.An invisible pressure permeated the air, making everyone gradually out of breath.

At this moment, Fan Li, who had been silent all this time and watched them scramble, suddenly stood up.When he came together, everyone's eyes turned to him.Fan Li didn't look at them, but just stared at Goujian intently, and said firmly, "Your Majesty, you must not go this time."
