Chapter 244: Breaking his Arm

Gou Jian not only secretly built the army and stockpiled military supplies, but also gave Fu Chai advice from time to time, which was equivalent to all kinds of forbearance and secret planning.

It may be that Fu Chai fell into womanizing and couldn't extricate himself, or he may have become too old and dim. Sending the Wu army to conquer the east and west may not necessarily hurt the national power. There may be money to be made if he wins the war. The problem is that launching several major projects will definitely consume the national power.

, no matter how frequently we use troops, it will easily overwhelm the country.

Wu Zixu persuaded Fu Chai that he should not continue to attack Qi State. He suggested that after conquering Qi State, he should make peace with it so that Qi State could be used by Wu State. Who can say that this suggestion was not a good suggestion at the time or afterwards?

However, Gou Jian actually figured out the conspiracy, and gave Fu Chai a taste of feces to show his surrender, and bribed Bo Xi to do all sorts of things. What was terrible was that Wu Zixu did some taboo things, and Fu Chai asked Wu Zixu to commit suicide.

The state of Wu lost one of its members, Qian Cheng.

Various conspiracies, machinations and final madness were going on in the southeastern border. Zhiyao, who had been paying close attention, felt that the time was ripe to do something.

"Sun Wu?" Zhishen waited until Zhiyao mentioned Sun Wu before he understood what was going on.

Just now Zhiyao suggested that Zhishen send someone to contact Sun Wu secretly and invite Sun Wu to Jin as a guest.

Zhishen said hesitantly: "How could Lord Wu allow Sun Wu to escape?"

If Wu Zixu is the Qiancheng of Wu State, Sun Wu is the role that Wu State can exert the greatest deterrence to other countries.

In recent years, Sun Wu has rarely moved. However, the fear of Sun Wu has not weakened at all. On the contrary, they are even more vigilant because Sun Wu has not moved.

The meaning of the existence of General Yum is so important. Even if they are not reused or are getting old, they can still deter all countries without dying.

To put it bluntly, the Yum Victorious Generals in the Cold Weapons Era, their existence is the same as those in the Nuclear Peace Era, and may even be more intimidating than mass murder weapons.

After all, even if you have a powerful weapon, you cannot use it easily, lest a country that also has a powerful weapon counterattack. If a powerful country always shouts about using a powerful weapon, it will make people look weak; General Yum can always use it when needed.

When we go to war, the enemy country will probably be unable to withstand it.

"Fu Chai will definitely not let Sun Wu go." Zhiyao knew this very well.

By the way, what was the fate of Sun Wu in history? He chose to go into seclusion shortly after the death of Wu Zixu. He wisely did not leave the territory of Wu State and was always under the supervision of Fu Chai.

In Zhiyao's view, the fate of his friend will definitely irritate Sun Wu. Moreover, the court environment in the Wu Kingdom has become extremely bad, which will definitely make Sun Wu disappointed with Fu Chai and the Wu Kingdom. The current time is obviously very suitable to abduct Sun Wu.

Come to the Kingdom of Jin.

It was to invite Sun Wu to Jin, not in the name of inviting the Zhi family.

Sun Wu and Sima Ranju are completely in two different situations.

After Zhiyao captured "Linzi" and captured Sima Ranju, Sima Ranju was left with few options.

Even though he had once been glorious, no matter how bad Sun Wu's situation became, apart from being a prisoner, secular concepts did not allow him to transform from an important minister of a country to a retainer of a certain family.

Zhishen thought of something and asked, "Is Yao planning this matter by sending Duanmu to Wu?"

If so, Zhishen felt that his son was too scary, so he had foreseen a certain trend early and made arrangements for it directly.

But then again, Zhishen had seen too much of Zhiyao's foresight, and while he was a little used to it, the pride in his heart couldn't be controlled.

Zhiyao had nothing to deny, so she took the initiative to change the topic and asked, "Has Guo anything to report?"

When it comes to this, Zhishen has a lot to talk about.

Although Fu Guo is a member of the Fu family, he is still a member of the Zhi family, right?

Zhiyao was better off. He first used Fuguo's fiefdom as a bargaining chip to exchange fiefdoms with the Wei family, and then let Fuguo go to the north of "Jinyang" to reclaim wasteland.

The more accurate geography is to the north of the Zhao family's fief "Meng", but the Zhao family just built a new city not long ago. The city of "Meng" is actually small, and the new place is not a conspicuous location. People who know it are really too

Less.

When outsiders see Fu Guo's situation, and combined with Fu Guo's previous opposition to Zhi Yao as his heir, they can't help but think that Zhi Yao is taking revenge on Fu Guo.

Not to mention outsiders, even among the Zhi family members, many people think so.

Why does Zhiyao treat Fu Guo like that? It’s not really about holding a grudge.

There are always some people in a family who need to make sacrifices and then take on important tasks, such as luring certain people into contact and infiltrating the enemy's interior.

"Treating your uncle harshly is harmful to your reputation." Zhishen knew why Zhiyao did that. He still disapproved of it from the beginning, but it just changed from opposition to helpless acquiescence.

In other families, the head of the family's opposition would make things impossible, but the Zhi family is a bit special.

Of course, Zhiyao did not act too arrogantly. He came up with ideas and let Fu Guo choose on his own, and then invited the clan elders to witness. Zhishen, who could not resist Zhi Yao, compromised.

This is because Zhishen doesn't want to be too tough. If he is really tough, either Zhi Yao's plan will fail, or the Zhi family will change the head of the family.

Zhi Yao would only overthrow his father when something was wrong with him. Fortunately, Zhishen once again followed the rules of good deeds.

"Yang Hu has passed away, and no one will see him again from now on." Zhishen revealed the new news.

This Yang Hu was the man who once had all kinds of authority in the Lu State. Later, because his background was inferior to San Huan's, and his strength could not withstand San Huan's counterattack, the king even let Confucius, a tool man, take action. As a result, Yang Hu was defeated and exiled to Qi State.

However, he was persecuted and later fled to Jin State and was taken in by Zhao Yang.

Zhiyao knew that Yang Hu was very active within the Zhao family, and even had a tendency to surpass Gubu Ziqing and become the first retainer of the Zhao family.

Judging from a series of intelligence, the transformation of the Han family is related to Yang Hu. Some people may think that Yang Hu may be the mastermind of the plan against the Zhi family because of Yang Hu's actions in the Lu country, but Zhi Yao does not think so.

.

It’s not that Zhiyao underestimated Yang Hu.

A retainer is a retainer. We cannot rule out the possibility that Yang Hu wants to rebuild his career in the Jin Kingdom. But after all, he has a foreign surname. How much power can he mobilize the Zhao family?

"The child wants to take Yang Hu back for his own use." Zhiyao said.

Zhishen was stunned and asked: "What?"

Anyone can believe in Yang Hu's determination to make great achievements. This is because Yang Hu once had great glory in the Lu country. How could he be willing to be lonely after a change of environment?

Zhiyao said: "Zhao can give Yang Hu as much or as little as Zhi can give him."

That's not what surprised Jishen.

Zhao Yang accepted Yang Hu when he was in trouble, which was tantamount to a great favor to Yang Hu.

Although Yang Hu may not have much loyalty, he still has to worry about the opinions of the world, right?

Furthermore, when Yang Hu was working for San Huan, he was capable of invading San Heng's property, and when Zhao showed great ambition, he did not look like a person who was easy to control.

Zhiyao added: "Only use his abilities, don't worry about his heart, return it to me and cut off one of his arms."

These are the things that father and son can talk about.

Now, the head of the Zhao family is Zhao Bolu, but Zhiyao has enough evidence to prove that the person managing the Zhao family hidden behind the scenes must be Zhao Wuji.

Of course, even if Zhiyao knew what was going on, unless the Zhi family wanted to go to war with the Zhao family, she would have no control over what the Zhao family wanted internally.

This is just like although Zhishen is the head of the Zhi family, the person who really coordinates the internal affairs and external affairs of the Zhi family is Zhi Yao. Outsiders may think that the etiquette is broken and the music is ruined, and interfering is looking for death.

What happens within a family can either be due to their own wishes or due to the incompetence of the head of the family who has been sidelined. In Zhao's case, it is most likely the former.

Zhiyao left Zhishen's place and sent someone to ask Cheng Wu to come over.

Although the Cheng family is one of the small sects of the Zhi family, there are several situations in which the family is divided. They still follow the government orders and have their own property when they should, and owning their own residence is one of them.

"The existence of Zhao Wuxie is certainly harmful to the Zhi family, but it is a good thing for my series of plans. Without Zhao Wuxie jumping around, how can I make a reasonable counterattack in the future?" Zhiyao certainly knew that there was a possibility of jumping.

The thing is, some risks are always worth taking.

One day, Zhiyao wants to do something to let the world know about self-defense and counterattack.

When that day does arrive, it will probably not be far away from the beginning of a new historical curtain, maybe that day.

About two-quarters of an hour later, Cheng Wu arrived.

Judging from Cheng Wu's clothes, it was obvious that he rushed to see Zhiyao immediately after hearing the news, without even changing his clothes.

Today's nobles dress one way at home and another when going out. They wear the corresponding clothes depending on what they want to do. It's really not like putting on clothes after waking up and wearing the same clothes for everything.

"Wu, you go to 'Yingting' to find the Yanghu, and you will be as good as 'Father Huang' to wait for me." Zhiyao ordered.

Cheng Wu had no reason to contact the Zhao family's retainers. After saying "promise", he stood there for a while. Seeing that Zhiyao had no other instructions, he bowed and turned to leave.

However, while he was preparing to return home, his father Cheng Shuo learned that he was going to look for Yang Hu, so Cheng Shuo came over to see Zhi Yao.

"Yang Hu is a rebellious minister." Cheng Shuo said.

Zhiyao knew that Yang Hu was once the "hidden prime minister" of Lu.

In some respects, doesn't it mean that Yang Hu has great talent?

Moreover, Zhiyao had specially read up on the major and minor events that occurred during the period when Yang Hu served as the "hidden prime minister" of the Lu State. It was precisely after reading those records that he became more willing to try to recruit.

There is a saying that during the years when Yang Hu was the "hidden prime minister", Lu and Qi were at war with each other, and Sanhuan suppressed the king of Lu from all aspects.

If there were no flaws in Yang Hu's birth, it might not cause such a big flaw in his character. If he was born into one of the Sanhuan families and could justifiably rule the Lu State, might he be able to revitalize the Lu State with his ability?

One day.

Yang Hu was lobbying at the house of a certain feudal lord. The feudal lord was first whispered into the ears by his retainers. After a while, groups of soldiers suddenly rushed in.

The sudden change really shocked Yang Hu!
