Regarding what Lu Ming said, Yun Chang thought it was reasonable.

Soldiers are a major matter for the country and must not be acted upon rashly!

Once the Yue State raises troops to conquer Helu, and the Wu army goes south again and intervenes, the consequences will be disastrous.

At least, the Yue people will indeed be used as spearmen by Qingji, and they may suffer a lot of losses!

"Then, I will not form an alliance with the State of Wu, and will not accept the four southern cities that King Wu Qingji assigned to me?"

Yun Chang was very hesitant.

"That's not true."

Lu Ming shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of this offer? What I'm worried about is the sinister intentions of the Wu people."

“I’m afraid the Kingdom of Wu cannot be restrained by an alliance letter alone!”

"How can a great Sikou teach a few people?"

Yunchang had to ask Yu Luming for advice.

Lu Ming just groaned and then said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Jikou is already in her late teens and is waiting to be married to her boudoir?"

"good……"

Yunchang nodded slightly, then reacted immediately and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Da Sikou, did you ask me to marry Ji Kou to the Kingdom of Wu?"

"Exactly."

Seeing Yunchang's hesitant look, Lu Ming lowered his hands decisively and said: "Your Majesty, please be clear! Since ancient times, the role of covenants has been far less important than marriage. Marriage is a very clever political method."

"I heard that King Wu Qingji is only in his weak years and has not yet been married."

"Princess Jikoo can be married to Queen Wu at this time, and the king can also dispatch agents from her to provide support at any time and closely monitor every move of the Kingdom of Wu!"

"color!"

After learning about the benefits brought by the marriage with Wu State, Yunchang couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he cheered loudly.

You know, Ji Kou is the apple of Yunchang's eye and his only daughter.

Yunchang had doted on Ji Kou very much since he was a child. When the latter grew up, he became charming and charming, and was a rare beauty in the capital of Yue!

As the saying goes, rare things can be lived in.

Before Ji Kou had haircuts, Yunchang was planning what kind of husband he should find for her!

Now it seems that the time has come for Ji Kou to marry into the Kingdom of Wu and become Qing Ji's queen.

At least, this does not insult Ji Kou's status as a princess, and can also promote an alliance between Wu and Yue!

After nightfall, Yunchang and his ministers warmly entertained Wu Ambassador Bo Xi in the main hall.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Yunchang told Bo Xi about the marriage between Wu and Yue!

It would have been fine if Jiko had only married into the Kingdom of Wu as a side wife, but she was the queen and the wife of the country, so Bo Xi could not make the decision, but it was not easy to refuse the kindness of King Yunchang of Yue.

Therefore, Boyu could only refuse again and again, saying that he would send someone back to report to Qingji.

If Qingji agrees, the marriage between Wu and Yue can be accomplished!

…

At this time, Qingji, who was far away in Wudu, did not know that he was about to be involved in a political marriage that was very popular in this era.

Qing Ji was leading a group of ministers and officials from the state of Wu to greet Jizha, who had returned from Chu, as well as two young masters of the state of Wu, Yi Yu and Zhu Yong, and more than a thousand ragged soldiers behind him.

It is worth mentioning that both Buyu and Zhuyong are younger brothers of King Wu of Wu and uncles of Qingji!

At that time, King Liao of Wu took advantage of the death of King Ping of Chu and the domestic turmoil to raise troops to attack Chu.

The two men led their troops to besiege the Qian city of Chu State, but could not take it for a long time. Suddenly, they heard news from the country that Prince Guang (Helu) had sent Zhuan Zhu to assassinate King Liao of Wu, thus regicide and usurping the throne.

Bi Yu and Zhu Yong were shocked and wanted to lead their troops to retreat, but their retreat had been cut off by the Chu army.

In desperation, the two of them had no choice but to flee to Xu State and the other to Zhongwu State to seek asylum!

Because they knew that with Helu's character, it was absolutely impossible to let them go, so they settled down temporarily and waited for the opportunity.

When they heard that Qing Ji was fleeing to Wei State, recruiting troops, accumulating strength, and preparing to attack Helu to avenge their father, Buyu and Zhu Yong wanted to defect to Wei State, but they were blocked by the Chu people and could not make the trip.

It was not until Qingji defeated Helu, came to Wu, and sent Ji Zha as an envoy to Chu to ask Chu to release the people that they were able to return to their home country.

Even the soldiers who fled with him felt very sad!

You must know that Xu and Zhongwu are both vassals of Chu. If Chu refuses to release them, what will they do?

Fortunately, Jizha's face was big enough, and Wu and Chu had already concluded an alliance and reconciled, so the Chu people did not give them any more trouble.

"Old minister Ji Zha (Zhu Yong, Bai Yu) comes to see your Majesty! Ten thousand years for your Majesty!"

"No need to be polite!"

After Qing Ji got out of the car and drove, he immediately stepped forward to hold Jizha's hands, and said with a look of greetings: "My uncle has been traveling all the way, it is very hard. Please get in the king's car, I will treat him as my uncle personally driving the horse and driving!"

"Your Majesty, how dare this veteran..."

"Uncle, please!"

Qingji couldn't help but invite Ji Zha to his exclusive car.

Then, he set his sights on Bi Yu and Zhu Yong, feeling very emotional.

"Two uncles, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

Hearing this, Bunyu and Zhu Yong couldn't help but feel emotional for a moment, and said with a choked voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking about me! If it weren't for Your Majesty this time, I'm afraid we would not be able to return to the Kingdom of Wu in this life, and would die in a foreign land!"

"Although it is good to be in the Xu Kingdom, and Mr. Xu treats me with courtesy, I never want to return to my hometown to avenge my late king!"

After saying this, Gan Yu and Zhu Yong, two dignified men of seven feet, couldn't help but burst into tears, hugging each other and crying!

"Two uncles, I will kill Ji Guang sooner or later to avenge my father's death. I have already set up a banquet in the main hall. Please go back and freshen up before you can sit down to the banquet in the evening."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qingji immediately stood at the front of the chariot, supporting Shi, facing more than a thousand talented Wu soldiers, feeling even more sad in his heart.

These soldiers did not have a complete set of armor on their bodies. They were all unkempt, slovenly, and ragged. They looked more like refugees who had fled.

However, they are indeed the Wu army, soldiers who followed Bai Yu and Zhu Yong into Chu to fight!

Although he was in such a state of despair, Qing Ji still did not show any sign of dejection on them.

When Prince Guang sent Zhuan Zhu to assassinate King Liao of Wu, Bi Yu fled to Xu State and Zhu Yong fled to Zhong Wu State.

Although both countries are vassals of the Chu State, they have an old relationship with the Wu State, especially Xu Jun, who is the brother-in-law of King Liao of Wu!

Under this kind of marriage relationship, Xu Jun had to protect Yu.

However, Bi Yu enjoyed a prosperous life in Xu State, but suffered hardships for the soldiers who fled with him!

After all, Xu Nai is a small country with thousands of soldiers and horses. How can it support so many Wu troops?

Therefore, after they entered Xu State, some of them had already settled down, while others fled without knowing where they were going.

Now there are only more than a thousand people who have returned to Wu State, and most of the soldiers are missing.

However, Qingji is still satisfied!

It is precisely because Wu State has this cohesion that it can continue to strengthen itself!

At this moment, the soldiers who returned to their home country couldn't help but burst into tears and couldn't help themselves.

"Second and Third Sons, my officers and soldiers of Da Wu! You have gone home!"

Qing Ji waved his hand and said loudly: "It is passed down that all soldiers who return home will be rewarded with two pieces of linen and one stone of rice!"

"I will give my second and third sons fifty jars of fine wine and ten deer to reward you! Tonight, you will not come home until you are drunk!"

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers immediately knelt down with tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"

"My great king, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"

Qing Ji instantly won the hearts of these soldiers.
Chapter completed!
