Age of mythical princes

Chapter 437 Sincere Advice

On a small island somewhere overseas, Yancheng and Qi State once again started peace negotiations.

The last time the two sides negotiated peacefully was more than 30 years ago, when the Marquis of Qi became Duke of Qi after the Tian family took over.

At that time, Qi Gongtian and Mingxiu Plank Road secretly visited Chencang and played tricks on Yancheng.

In the end, Taigongwang's inheritance spread all over the world. With Jiang Hua's help, Zhuge Liang obtained the inheritance of Qimen Dunjia.A few years later, Zhuge Liang completely understood the 72 games of Qi Men Dun Jia and achieved the realm of a saint.Today's Zhuge Liang has already become a saint.

Recalling the many secrets and inheritances that Zhuge Liang had found for Yancheng over the years, Zhou Yu felt a little dazed.

I think back then, when we all joined Yancheng together, we were all representatives of the new generation of young heroes.

At that time, it was still the 50th year of Baijia. Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Sun Ce and others were all born around the first year of Baijia. The growth of this group of young heroes was greatly influenced by Yancheng.

Before that, studying was very difficult and expensive. It took a lot of effort to get into school, and even if you did, you didn't learn much.

But after the first year of Baijia, geniuses read journals every day and became self-taught.

Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang are typical examples.

The two of them are typical representatives of this group of young heroes around the 50s.

However, Zhuge Liang entered the cabinet and Zhou Yu entered the army.

Later, Zhuge Liang took charge of the cabinet at a young age and became the chief minister of the cabinet.At a young age, Zhou Yu became the number one naval officer in Yancheng and is now the navy commander.

Although there was a navy in Yancheng before Zhou Yu, the navy at that time had not yet taken shape. Whether it was the training system, the selection system, the promotion system, or the combat system, they were all designed by the young Zhou Yu.

In fact, if you don't compare with Zhuge Liang, just look at Zhou Yu's own achievements. He is only 120 years old this year. When he was in his 50s, he started designing the Yancheng naval system from scratch. When he was about 80 years old, the Yancheng Navy became independent and Zhou Yu was in charge alone.

Now, the war between Yancheng and Qi is completely supported by Zhou Yu and Sun Ce and a large number of friends!
Nowadays, some young heroes from the first year of Baijia to the hundredth year of Baijia have gone to Zhuge Liang's command and followed Zhuge Liang, such as Ma Liang, Ma Su, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others.There were also people who followed Zhou Yu and Sun Ce, such as Gan Ning, Tai Shi Ci, Zhou Tai and others.

Although the world has always praised Zhou Yu and called Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang together, Zhou Yu himself felt that the gap between himself and Zhuge Liang was getting wider and wider.

Just like now, Zhuge Liang has quietly become a saint, but he is still just a great master.

Therefore, Zhou Yu felt a little melancholy when he thought about it.

Little did he know that Sun Bin opposite him was also very melancholy!
He almost watched Zhou Yu grow up. Although Sun Bin was only 30 to [-] years older than Zhou Yu, he was clearly considered by the world to be two groups of people.

For example, those who were born before the first year of the Bai family, such as Sun Bin, Wu Qi, Han Xin, etc., are by default considered to be a group of people.This group of people had not yet become enlightened when the new era came. Most of them were just Taoist priests or Taoist priests who became enlightened in the new era.Zhao Wuxie, Wei Si, and Han Feizi were also in this group.

Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were regarded as the next batch.

As for the people in the front, they are collectively called the old people, the people of the old era.

Zhou Yu felt that the gap between himself and Zhuge Liang was getting wider and wider, but Sun Bin, who was sitting opposite, felt that the Zhou Yu in front of him had become stronger and stronger every time, and now, it seemed, as if, he might no longer be his opponent.

Are these newcomers all monsters?
Both of them were melancholy for a while, but the scene became quiet. The officials from the two countries who were responsible for recording the negotiation minutes were also silent. Maybe Zhou Yu and Sun Bin had some deep meaning?The officials thought silently.

After a while, Zhou Yu picked up the tea cup in front of him and said with a smile while observing Sun Bin: "The last time, senior, we were negotiating with Kong Ming. At that time, Qi Gong was very unreasonable and played a trick on Yancheng. Regarding this matter, everyone in Yancheng was very angry. In this world, no one can play with Yancheng casually, and no one can play with Junshang casually!"

Lord humiliate to death!

When he said the last sentence, Zhou Yu's momentum had completely overwhelmed Sun Bin.

The officials on the side glanced at Zhou Yu from a distance, as if they were like a phoenix rising into the sky, with flames everywhere they could see.

This was of course an illusion, but the officials quickly retreated consciously. The strong faced each other, and the weak could only survive by running faster.

While running, the official sighed: I don’t know when it started, but this negotiation has become a laborious job!Skills without strength are of no use. The opponent's momentum alone can make you a fool, making you unable to think, unable to move, and unable to speak!
Sun Bin picked up the teacup and waved, and Zhou Yu's aura disappeared: "What happened last time was a misunderstanding. At that time, the king heard that Taigong Wang's tomb had been stolen by tomb robbers, so he hurried to check it out."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu looked at Sun Bin with a trace of pity.

After all, he is a real person, but the master he follows is not good, so he can only be like this. Isn't it uncomfortable?
After comparing Qi Gong and Tian He, Zhou Yu immediately felt that Jiang Hua was still more pleasing to the eye.

"Then let's talk openly and honestly. In fact, it's very simple to want peace, as long as Duke Qi abdicates!"

Zhou Yu said this very calmly, but you can tell by looking at the faces of the officials who recorded the minutes of the negotiations from both sides.Here in Yancheng, everyone immediately beamed with joy, as happy as the Chinese New Year.The officials from Qi State felt that this negotiation was probably going to go wrong again!
Over the years, since the establishment of the navy, Han Xin has slowly stopped presiding over the war with Qi.Han Xin himself said this at the time: "The State of Qi is not interesting, and whether it is Tian Dan or Tian Ji, although he is a good general, he is only a good general. It is okay to practice with them occasionally, but fighting them too much will pollute my ideas. , lowering my level.”

Translated into adult language: low-end games can be played twice occasionally, but if you play too much, the level of the masters will be lowered.

Later, it was Zhou Yu who led the navy to fight against Qi.

"Tian Dan and Tian Ji have fought against each other many times over the years. Prefecture-level Taoist soldiers are nothing new."

"Today, the navy alone can overwhelm Qi State and make it breathless."

In fact, Zhou Yu didn't tell the truth.

Yancheng's navy is not generally powerful, it is quite powerful!
Only part of Yancheng's navy was exposed to the public and was used in naval battles with Qi.

But the main force of the Yancheng Navy has actually been conquering the outer seas in recent years.

The 30-mile coastline was completely conquered ten years ago.

The sea area 30 miles away is already considered the deep sea. The sea monsters there are even more savage and it is the territory of the real dragons.

Yancheng's navy has been suppressing real dragons, dragons, and sea monsters overseas over the years. The Dragon King of the East China Sea, Zhou Yu, has fought against him several times.

At the beginning, Han Xin fought against the Dragon Lord of the East China Sea and defeated the Dragon Lord with his army. From then on, the Dragon Lord openly refused to stop the Yancheng army.

Later, Zhou Yu occasionally played a friendly match with Long Jun pretending to be a sea monster. Gradually, Donghai Long Jun was defeated.The main reason is that if you don't accept it, you may die.

However, Donghai Longjun has relatively great value, so he can stay alive.

The status of the Dragon Lord of the East China Sea in the ocean is equivalent to that of the Emperor of Han Dynasty in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

If you want to say that Liu Xie was useless at that time, it is definitely not objective enough.But if you want to say that Liu Xie's orders at that time were accurate, even a five-year-old child would not believe it.It's useful when it's useful, but it's useless when you encounter a sea monster.

Anyway, having the title of Dragon Lord of the East China Sea will be of great benefit to Yancheng in conquering a wider deep sea in a short period of time.

After thinking about the true strength of the navy, Zhou Yu suddenly felt that the negotiation in front of him was really boring. No wonder before setting off, Kong Ming told himself that today's negotiation was just a way to relax, and he could accept whatever outcome was negotiated, and it didn't matter. .

Co-author, today's negotiation is really just for me to come and relax.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu didn't have much hope for the outcome of the negotiation.Immediately, Zhou Yu showed a very sincere smile. Seeing this smile, Sun Bin felt a little uncomfortable: What kind of conspiracy is this?
"The war between Yancheng and Qi has lasted for nearly 70 years!"

"In the past 70 years, the development of Qi has been greatly affected."

"To this day, [-]% of Qi's annual fiscal revenue is invested in this endless war."

"Since most of the money has been spent on war, over the years, the central government of Qi has not had enough strength and energy to suppress the local areas and make them bigger."

"The local government relied on the order issued by the central government to ban goods from Yancheng, and openly banned all channels except its own. Instead, the local government continued to make money and grow stronger with the help of Yancheng's goods."

"I heard that 30 years ago, my husband suggested that Duke Qi cancel the order prohibiting trade, but unfortunately he was refuted by the 'loyal' local nobles."

"Today, Qi's local governments have achieved success, but the central government has declined. Apart from building a strong army, Qi has achieved nothing in recent decades!"

"It is precisely because of this that Qi State has now reached a critical moment."

"The local nobles have united together to oppose the central government. The central government's power is restricted by Yancheng and cannot be used to suppress the local areas. They are also afraid that the suppression will be too excessive, causing the local nobles to directly defect to Yancheng."

"So, I sincerely suggest that you, sir, change to Mr. Qi."

"As long as Qi Gong is willing to abdicate, he can still live."

"As long as Duke Qi abdicates, this war will end."

"As long as the war is over and the new monarch ascends the throne, the new monarch can use the power of this army to suppress the local area. As time goes by, Qi will still be the overlord of the East!"

"Sir, what do you think of my suggestion? Is it sincere enough?"
