Chapter 054
Qingji knew this story.
This is because after King Shoumeng of Wu successively annexed Yi State and Nanyan State, he set his sights on Han State, which was across the river from Wu State.
However, the Wu Kingdom was frustrated that time and ultimately returned without success!
It is worth mentioning that the Han State in history still could not escape the bad luck of being destroyed by the Wu State.
In 486 BC, King Wu Fu Chai went north to fight for hegemony and destroyed the country of Han. He built a city in Han and dug a ditch to connect the Yangtze River and Huaihe River!
As far as Qing Ji knew, although today's Han Kingdom is one of the princes entrusted by Emperor Zhou, its living customs are still the same as those of the Huaiyi tribes, half fishing and hunting, half farming, eating hair and drinking blood!
Moreover, the population of Han country was less than 50,000, with thousands of soldiers and horses, and no more than a dozen chariots!
With such national power, Qian Dang dared to provoke Wu?
Could it be that I am tired of living?
"Since we are here to congratulate you, you are a guest. King Han, please dismount and let me show my friendship as a landlord!"
Qingji seemed very polite.
In fact, Qingji already remembered Qiandang and the country of Han in his heart!
As the saying goes, if you don’t seek death, you won’t die!
Since Qian Dang was so rude, Qing Ji would just remember it for now and settle the old and new accounts together in the future.
At this moment, seeing Qing Ji acting so "lowly and condescendingly", Gan Dang looked even more arrogant, with a proud look on his face.
He looked down on Qingji from the bottom of his heart!
Qian Dang immediately got off his horse, handed the whip to the attendant on one side, grinned at Qingji, and said: "King Wu, to be honest, in addition to congratulating the king of Wu, I also have a heartless person here.
Please."
"King Han said it doesn't matter."
Faced with Gan Dang's arrogant attitude, Qing Ji had to endure it!
"The people of Han are good at nomadic herding, and they mostly breed cattle, horses, and sheep. The animals are all very strong. Unfortunately, there are too many horses and sheep in our country of Han, and there is not enough water and grass to supply them!"
"I heard that the water and grass in Zhufang and Yunyang of your Wu Kingdom are very rich and suitable for grazing."
Qian Dang glanced at Qing Ji, who was silent, and said: "So, I plan to borrow Zhu Fang and Yunyang from the State of Wu. I wonder what the King of Wu wants?"
"presumptuous!"
"Be bold!"
Jizha, Sun Ping, Shen Xi and other officials were immediately furious and pointed at Gan Dang and cursed loudly.
"You are just a king of a small country, how dare you be so rude?"
"If you want Zhu Fang and Yunyang, you can get it with your chariots and soldiers. Why do you have to show off here?"
"Your Majesty, please kill this beast and respect the Heavenly Patriarch!"
All the ministers glared at Qian Dang and gnashed their teeth with hatred.
Qing Ji was mentally prepared for it, so he was much calmer!
"King Han, you have a surplus of horses and sheep in Han, why don't you give them to Wu?"
Qingji glanced at Qian Dang lightly and said, "I, the Wu people, are raising horses and sheep for you, the Han people! I will return them in the future, how about that?"
"you!"
Seeing Qing Ji say these words so calmly and calmly, Gan Dang's face didn't look good.
"King Wu, in this case, you are not willing to lend Zhufang and Yunyang to our country of Han for grazing?"
"King Han is joking."
Qingji shook his head and said: "I should welcome the Han people to Wu for herding! I can allow you to herd, but I will never tolerate your wantonness!"
"If you want Zhu Fang and Yunyang, King Han doesn't need words, but relies on Han sword!"
"King Han, I would like to ask my two or three sons to remember that although our territory in Wu is vast, not even an inch is redundant!"
"good!"
"color!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present immediately cheered and clapped their hands.
Qingji's posture and these words are really impeccable!
Everyone in Wu at the venue felt very relieved.
Even Shimimo and other envoys from other countries who were on one side couldn't help but feel admiration when they heard Qingji's heroic words.
If the state of Wu had a hero like Qingji, the state would definitely be strong!
"You! Humph!"
Qian Dang couldn't help but couldn't say anything to Qing Ji, so he could only snort coldly and said: "King Wu, I have only heard that King Wu was brave and brave, but I didn't expect him to be so sharp-tongued."
"King Han is too famous."
"Someone, bring the things up!"
With a wave of Gan Dang's big hand, a Han soldier came forward holding an exquisite-looking box.
The corner of Qian Dang's mouth showed a smile of successful conspiracy. He looked at Qingji and said, "King Wu, this is just a small gift and it's not respectful. Please accept it with a smile."
"King Han is welcome."
Qingji waved his hand and asked General Xiong Zidan, who was on one side, to step forward and take the brocade box.
"Why don't King Wu open it to see what's going on?"
It seems that Gan Dang is determined to go against Wu Guo and make Qing Ji look embarrassed!
Qing Ji doesn't matter.
Anyway, the most hidden in this box is a poisonous snake or something that would humiliate Qingji himself. What should he be afraid of?
Instructed by Qing Ji's eyes, Xiong Zidan quickly opened the brocade box slowly.
"ah!"
"this……"
"How could it be something like this?"
"Discourteous, so rude!"
"The country of Han is bullying others too much!"
When the nearby officials and officials saw this, they couldn't help but feel the veins on their foreheads bulge, and they were furious.
Loudly reprimanded the gangster!
I saw that what was placed in this exquisite brocade box was not any rare treasures or poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions, but a handful of... soil!
Mud in the dark swamp!
As the saying goes, sending goose feathers thousands of miles away is light on courtesy but heavy on affection!
But Han and Wu only faced each other across the river, and they were at the level of national gifts. What was the point of giving them a handful of soil?
"Mr. Han is clearly humiliating King Wu!"
Outside the venue, many onlookers were already aware of this.
"Barbarians born in Dongyi really don't change their nature! They don't obey the king and don't know etiquette!"
"How will King Wu deal with this vulgar and rude Lord Han?"
"Maybe the king will get angry and cook this barbarian to death or tear his car apart."
"That's very good! However, this Gan Dang is the king of a country after all, and he is in the crowning ceremony. On such occasions, if the king kills him whenever he says, the impact will be too bad."
"So what? As the saying goes, if you humiliate your ministers, they will die! Your Majesty has suffered such humiliation, how can we, the people of Wu, stand by and watch?"
The scholars and the common people present were talking a lot, and many of the vigorous Wu people were angry that Qing Ji had been humiliated in this way. They all beat their chests and feet, trying to rush forward to save face for their king.
Even Xiong Zidan, Meng Ben and other soldiers beside Qingji couldn't help but put their hands on the hilt of their swords, waiting for Qingji's order to keep the body of Han Zigandang in front of him!
However, Qingji didn’t take it seriously!
After being stunned for a moment, Qingji immediately took the brocade box containing the soil, smiled at Gan Dan and said, "Thank you King Han for this generous gift!"
"Tou, that is, territory, symbolizes the country and the country. Since King Han voluntarily dedicated the territory of Han to me as a gift!"
