In order to promote the alliance between Wu and Yue, King Qingji of Wu spared no expense in dealing with Helu.

One hundred yi of gold (two thousand taels of horseshoe gold, the unit of measurement is one yi equals twenty taels), a pair of fine jade, a set of ivory tableware, and fifty pieces of cowhide!

There are also ten beauties and fifty jars of Wu’s fine wine!

This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for Vietnam!

Because the State of Yue was poorer than the State of Wu, the King of Yue's treasury had even fewer rare and rare treasures. Sometimes he could only take some rice, deer skins, horns and the like to reward his subjects.

Therefore, these things given by Qingji were undoubtedly generous gifts to Yunchang, which made him very excited!

"The King of Wu is really sincere and everyone is convinced."

Driven by money, Yun Chang had to choose to believe Bo Xi and stand on Qing Ji's side.

Bo Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said again: "The King of Yue is wise! The King of Yue is telling you the truth. This time, I am sent to Yue by the king's order. In addition to establishing an alliance between Wu and Yue and restoring harmony, I also have another purpose!"

"It doesn't matter if you say so."

As the saying goes, taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, Yunchang doesn't believe in pie-in-the-sky things. Now that Qingji is so generous, he must have something to ask for!

Could it be that they wanted the Yue Kingdom to send troops together to quell the Helv rebellion?

Or maybe Qing Ji wanted to send his troops to wipe out the Helu on one side of the separatist regime, but he was worried that Yue would send troops to help, so he asked Yunchang to sit on the sidelines?

Not impossible!

However, what Bo Xi said next made Yunchang and the officials of the Yue Kingdom shocked.

Bo Xi said loudly: "King of Yue, in addition to these rare treasures and Meiji's fine wine, my king has also prepared a great gift for the king of Yue!"

"Oh, a big gift?"

Yun Chang was very suspicious.

Is Wu Wang Qingji really so generous?

I saw Bo Xi chuckle and said: "Exactly. King Yue, I wonder if the king of Yue thinks that the city and the land are a great gift?"

"Of course it's a great gift."

As the king of a country, how could Yunchang not know that the most precious things in the world are not yellow and white things, not beauties and wine, but real cities and real land!

Not to mention Yunchang, every king in the world probably covets the city and land.

However, although they covet the cities and lands of other countries, they often have more ambition than strength and find it difficult to seize them.

"Then, my king is willing to dedicate the four cities of Wuyuan, Xing, Yu'er, and Xiangli, and a territory of two hundred miles in radius, to the King of Yue!"

"I wonder, does the King of Yue dare to accept it?"

Upon hearing this, all the kings and ministers of Yue, including King Yunchang of Yue, couldn't help but have green eyes, like greedy wolves seeing their prey, and their hearts were beating for it.

Having said that, how could Yunchang not know that this was a bad check issued by Wu Wang Qingji?

Because the southern land of Wu State is now divided by Helu, it is not under the orthodox jurisdiction of Wu State for the time being.

If Yunchang wants to really get the city land there, he still needs to send out soldiers and horses to destroy Helu!

However, Qingji's recognition allowed Yue to become famous. For Yunchang, who was ambitious and always advocated active external expansion, the status given by Qingji had extraordinary significance.

"How can I not dare!"

Yunchang held his head high, with a proud smile on his face.

The overwhelming army of the Yue Kingdom is completely capable of crushing the remaining defeated generals of Helu!

If Qingji could promise not to get involved, how could Yunchang not dare to occupy the southern land of Wu?

Of course, Yunchang knew it very well.

The reason why Qing Ji was so generous in taking action now was because he wanted Yue and Helu to attack each other so that he could just stand aside and watch.

However, Yunchang doesn't care about these details at all!

As long as the Vietnamese army annexed the land occupied by Helu quickly enough, Qingji would be unable to do anything to defeat the Vietnamese.

…

After going to court, Yue Wang Yunchang summoned his right-hand men, Grand Sima Shimai and Chief Kou Luming, to the side hall and sat down on the ground.

"The State of Wu currently wants to form an alliance with the State of Yue, and on the surface it has assigned the four cities of Wuyuan, Xing, Yu'er, and Xiuli to Yue."

"In your opinion, do you agree to the alliance with Wu and accept the city land donated by the Wu people?"

Yunchang had already accepted it in his heart, but he still wanted to ask the opinions of these two important ministers of the Yue Kingdom.

Da Sima Shimai almost without thinking, first said: "Your Majesty, why don't you accept the alliance with Wu? No matter how you look at it, this is an advantage for my country, Yue, and the loser is the country of Wu!"

Yunchang nodded slightly and turned his attention to another important minister.

The chief minister, Kou Luming, had a worried look on his face and said: "Your Majesty, even though I have said this, I am really worried that the people of Wu have ulterior motives and have bad intentions."

"The feud between Yue and Wu cannot be resolved overnight!"

"Moreover, since the founding of the two countries, there have been wars from time to time. Wu has attacked Yue, or Vietnam has attacked Wu. There have been constant conflicts."

"Our country of Yue wants to connect with the Central Plains and aspire to be the best in the world, so we should unite with Wu to do so."

"Wu wants to attack Chu in the west and chase deer in the north, so he should also destroy Yue so that he doesn't have to worry about anything later!"

"That's why the two countries of Vietnam and Wu are like water and fire, incompatible."

After a pause, Lu Ming sighed again and said: "Now, Qing Ji sent Bo Xi to Yue to offer generous gifts, and also pretended to be the four towns in the south of Wu State. Under his kindness, he may have evil intentions!"

Hearing this, Yunchang couldn't help but frown.

Shi Mai, who was on one side, disagreed and sneered: "Da Sikou said Da Miao."

"So what if King Wu Qingji harbors evil intentions? The great gift he offers will be in vain if we, the Yue Kingdom, do not accept it!"

Shi Mai had accepted Boyu's bribe, so he spoke for the state of Wu.

Even if he is not bribed by the Wu people, I believe that Yi Shimai's consistent style is that it is natural to form an alliance with the Wu State and send troops to attack the territory that Helu has separatized!

"Da Sima, not to mention the heavy gifts presented by the State of Wu, how can Qingji transfer the four cities in the south of the State of Wu and the land of two hundred miles to the State of Yue just as he said it should be assigned to the State of Yue?"

Lu Ming said in a deep voice: "It should be noted that the four southern cities of the Wu Kingdom are still under the rule of Ji Guang. If our Yue Kingdom takes their land, we will still have to fight at every turn!"

"If Qingji takes advantage of the fierce battle between our Yue army and Ji Guang and takes the opportunity to go south, how will the king find himself at that time? How will the Yue country deal with itself?"

"this……"

Yun Chang had to fall into deep thought.

Lu Ming said again: "Your Majesty, the current general situation in the world is that countries are attacking each other, rituals are broken, and music is ruined. How can this alliance letter count?"

"What's more, our opponent is Wu Guo and Qing Ji!"

"The second and third sons don't know much about Qing Ji. They only know that his bravery is unparalleled in the world and he is known as the best warrior in the Wu Kingdom."

"Of course, such a person can still regroup, expel Ji Guang who killed the king and usurped the throne, and became the king of Wu!"

"It can be seen from this that Qing Ji's scheming city is no ordinary. He is also as cunning as a fox, and he often does things unscrupulously!"
