Yong Bo was sleeping soundly on the bed. Suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched quickly, and then he began to mutter again: "Surrender... I surrender, don't... don't kill me." He stretched out his hands and grabbed it in the air. The concubine who was sleeping beside him knew that he had a nightmare again, so he quickly woke him up.

Yong Bo, who had a cold sweat, sat up from the bed, panting and thinking about the terrifying scene in his dream just now. [Hundreds of soldiers with black helmets and black armor, holding swords and shields attacked Fangcheng, the capital of Yongguo. They were invulnerable to swords and guns. The big sword in their hands cut gold and copper like mud, and they also held a bow and arrow equipped with mechanisms that could make arrows that could not be fired at any time. After a while, all the defenders in the city were exposed to the streets, and then they entered the palace city, and one of them slashed at him with a sword...]

Yong Bo has been eating for more than a month and cannot sleep well. It is entirely because Xia Fang sent a "sacred weapon" to slam Yu Yong.

At first he thought it was just an ordinary Xia army soldier who took advantage of his own failure and ventured into the mountain, and succeeded by chance.

He didn't think much about it, but just ordered all cities, towns and villages to strengthen their vigilance. Unexpectedly, the other party swept the two of his cities and villages in a row. It seemed that the other party did not plan to leave after a vote.

Only then did he get nervous and dispatch people to form a mountain team to strengthen the defense of the capital and the salt-producing fish.

The Soshan team set up a trap and waited for the opponent to drill, but the opponent was ambushed and killed more than 200 people. After that, three more cities and villages were forcibly swept away by the opponent.

The salt transport team from Yuyi to Xiqi was robbed many times, and all the coarse salt was poured into the river. In the end, even thousands of Yuyi garrisons were captured by the other side. With the following reports, there were only a hundred and a hundred soldiers from Xiafang.

At this time, Fangcheng was already full of soldiers. Yongbo stayed in the heavily guarded palace city every day and did not dare to go out. He was worried that one day, these Xia Fang's "Divine Soldiers" soldiers would suddenly appear in Fangcheng.

...

"Tell me how to deal with these Xia soldiers. If this continues, Yongguo will be poor and reach the bottom. It's nothing to be poor. When the barbarians know our situation, they will definitely take the blame and rebel against me, Yongfang."

Yong Bo once again summoned the generals and guards in the palace to discuss the attacks of the Xia soldiers. The Xia soldiers began to attack Yanlu and Yanquan, which was the lifeblood of Yongguo.

[Yong] It can exist in the form of a country among the mountains and ridges, and maintain a certain level of economic strength and civilization. It is inseparable from its relationship with its salt spring, otherwise it will only be the same as most mountainous barbarian tribes.

After a moment of silence, a general said, "Brother, let's turn to Zhou Fang."

"Give Zhou Fang back, we all called Zhou Fang, the old man Jiang to cheat. When we look for Zhou Guo, they would only ask us to help us delay Xia Fang. Fortunately, they used troops to fight Shang Fang in the north. "When it comes to Zhou Fangyong, they are angry.

The scene fell silent again. At this moment, a eunuch of Yongbo came to report that a spy from Xia Kingdom was caught on the edge of the west bank of the Han River. He called himself an envoy, so he was escorted to Fangcheng to wait for Yongbo to fall.

Bo Yong thought for a while and said, "Take him to see me."

...

The visitor was a lobbyist in Huayi, and Yongbo received him as an envoy.

"In Xia Nai Xia Nanbo's special envoy came to talk to Yongbo. "The person who came said to Yongbo was neither humble nor arrogant.

"You Xia Fang killed my people and robbed me of salt fields. What are you talking about with such a great hatred?" Yong Bo snorted coldly and said.

"If you don't forget to be rude when you come and go, you will not be able to attack my country and plunder my Nanxiang, how could we invade your country's land?"

Yong Bo frowned, narrowed his eyes and said, "But Xie Yinan Township is mine."

"May I ask, did Yongguo join Zhou?" asked the lobbyist.

"As we all know, what does this mean?" Yong Bo asked in surprise.

"Zhou Fang was once a minister of Shang. Zhou Fang had a ritual and law that was the shore of the land, which was the king's land. This is also well known."

Uncle Yong stopped talking and wanted to see what the other party was going to say. The lobbyist continued to talk:

"Our king Xia Nanbo was personally granted by the Emperor of the Shang Dynasty. The land of Nanxiang is also within its jurisdiction and has the responsibility of accepting the country that is disobedient. The king of Zhou Fang is arbitrarily proclaiming the king, which is rebellious according to their own etiquette... "

Bo Yong was most afraid that others would tell him the truth, so he waved his hand and interrupted the other party's words, saying, "Come on, come and serve tea for Xia Guo." After a moment, he said to the lobbyist who was kneeling in the hall, "Since you have made peace, talk about your requirements and conditions."

"It's very simple. The two families use the Han River as the boundary and do not attack each other. In addition... "The lobbyist paused for a moment and then said: "In the future, Yongguo should submit to my Xia Nanbo."

Uncle Yong was anxious and sprayed out a sip of tea he had just drunk.

"What, you are dreaming in your daytime!"

"Boss Yong, don't be anxious, listen to me and finish my words. We can give you everything that Zhou Fang can give you, including the salt road of Yongguo. If you go out from us, you can also sell it to the world. And we also exempt you from the salt tax. In addition, you are not required to pay tribute to the tea." The lobbyist said this and tasted the earliest tea in human history.

When Yong Bo heard this, he was a little moved. The Yong Kingdom nominally belonged to Zhou Kingdom. In addition to the Zhou Kingdom's efforts to win over it, the most important reason was the salt road. Without the salt road, Yong Kingdom's salt cannot be sold out, and the annual income of the country will be reduced by more than half, and such a large territory and rule cannot be maintained.

At the end, Yong Bo said, "Under this condition, your family and I have a truce, but Zhou State will cause me trouble. In addition, Ben Bo is an Earl of Fang Kingdom after all. After all, he is a lieutenant. Isn't he just a marquis when he comes to your Nanbo's disciple?"

The lobbyist smiled: "Master may have misunderstood what I said just now. I mean that Yongguo should submit to Xia Fang in the future. The meaning is that he is not in a hurry. If you don't hide it from Yongbo, my Nanbo will also win the world sooner or later."

After hearing this, Yong Bo stroked his beard and his eyes were circling. He had already made up his mind, but he still wanted to open more conditions.

The lobbyist suddenly changed his tone and said, "As the saying goes, we don't know each other without fighting. After fighting for such a long time, what advice can Yong Bo give us on military affairs?"

When Yong Bo heard this, he knew that the other party had been tempting and now he was a coercion. He replied slowly: "The Xia Kingdom's army is sharp and its reputation is well-deserved. But I, Yongfang, also has countless elite soldiers and soldiers. Of course, it is a fight against Xia's tiger and wolf army on the plain. But in this mountainous area, I, Yongfang, still has enough to protect himself."

The lobbyist smiled slightly: "Take it really good to protect yourself?"

"Well... Of course, your side has a black armored army, which is unstoppable, but after all, it is rare and can harass us. But if you want to destroy the country and destroy the tribe, you only need these 100 people...haha."

"Besides, the vastness of this mountain is beyond the imagination of the world. I am hopeless to exceed the actual area controlled by the merchants. If it is not possible, I can move the capital and move it to the south. Also, my Dayong is an ancient country where the two rulers of the Fa lasted for more than a thousand years. The people are connected by blood and the top and bottom are united. Even if your side occupy the capital and even if Ben Bo is captured for his country and is captured, the people will also establish a new king and resist to the end."

After the lobbyist waited for Yong Bo to finish his big words, his face changed and said, "There are more than a hundred martial soldiers in our house, but there are thousands. If you have the opportunity to visit Huayi, you will know that what I said is true. The reason why I only sent such a few people is that my uncle does not want the people of the Yong Kingdom to be devastated and the country will be destroyed!"

Upon hearing this, Yong Bo was shocked at first, and then said to the lobbyist awkwardly: "Hehe, I won't say it anymore. If this is too much, it hurts the harmony. As for what the gentleman said before, Rong Ben Bo thought about it for two days and discussed it with the ministers, he will reply to Nan Bo in the near future."
