The State of Yu is located at the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain. The royal city is called Pinglu, with a population of 600,000. The national strength belongs to the middle reaches among the vassal states.

To the north of Yu State is the state of Jin, which has a strong national strength, and is one of the few in the world. It is known as the "East Qi, West Qin, Central Zhao, North Jin, and South Chu" together with the four major vassal states of Qin, Qi, Chu, and Zhao. It has a strong influence and is far beyond the reach of Yu State.

Since Duke Xian of Jin ascended the throne, he has worked hard to govern, cultivate fertile land, recruit talents, and train soldiers, which has led to the rapid growth of the people of Jin to 6 million, with 400,000 armored armored vehicles and 5,000 chariots, with a huge momentum.

Jin Xian Gong was determined to expand his territory southward and strive to extend his tentacles into the fertile Central Plains region. In front of him was the Yu Kingdom, which had 600,000 people and 30,000 soldiers.

With the strong strength of Jin, it is naturally easy to settle Yu. The successive monarchs of Yu also understood the wolf ambitions of Jin, so they formed an alliance with Guo State in the south, and jointly fought against the powerful Jin State.

The royal city of Guo State, Xingyang, is located on the bank of the Yellow River. It is located at a critical moment. The situation is dangerous. Guo State has 1.5 million people and 80,000 soldiers. Although it is not as good as the powerful Jin State, it also makes the strong Jin feel like a thorn in his throat, and he always wants to get rid of it and then quickly.

However, because Guo and Yu formed an alliance, advanced and retreated together, and used the dangerous mountains and rivers to repel Jin's temptations many times, the tentacles of Jin were unable to enter the Central Plains for a long time, and their strength was always the weakest among the five princes.

The toughness of Guo State has always been a heart-wrenching problem of the monarchs of Jin State. In recent years, Duke Xian of Jin has gradually changed his strategy and began to win over the Yu State, which had been disdainful before. He sent envoys to visit many times and presented various rare treasures to improve the hostile relationship between them.

This time, in order to destroy Guo State, Jin Xiangong sent the doctor Xun Xi to Pinglu with a heavy gift to pay homage to Duke Xiang of Yu, Shubi, to win over the relationship, to attack Guo through the way, and presented a BMW and a treasure of the thorny jade.

Duke Xiang of Yu couldn't put down the treasures brought by Xun Xi, but hesitated about whether to lend the way to Jin to attack Guo. So he sent someone to recall Xiangbang Baili Xi, who was inspecting the people's conditions on the bank of the Yellow River and organizing flood prevention, to the royal city for countermeasures.

"Boom..."

As a rapid sound of horse hooves went from far to near, Bailixi and his party arrived at the west gate of the royal city. The guards who guarded the city raised their hands from afar and let Bailixi and his party ride into the city.

Fang Li was just a little bit old and believed in the motto of silence along the way. He tried to speak less and observe more, first figure out the probabilities of this world before making the next plan.

The State of Yu said it was big or small, it was 280 miles from north to south and spanning 120 miles from east to west, and the area was roughly equivalent to a county in the Han Dynasty.

Pinglu, the capital of Yu Kingdom, has a long history and is quite prosperous. The streets and alleys are bustling with pedestrians, shops are lined up, and hawkers of all kinds walk through the streets and alleys, which is very lively.

Baili Xi, as the prime minister of Yu, was the first person under the Duke of the Kingdom. After entering the royal city, he was surrounded by angry and angry guests in front of him, drove away the pedestrians, and headed straight for the palace in a blissful manner.

The state of Yu State has limited national strength. The so-called palace is completely different from the palace in Fang Li’s imagination. It is neither magnificent nor carved beams and painted buildings. It is more like a prefecture's palace than a royal palace, which is more decent than a county government.

But although the sparrow is small, it is full of all organs, and the pomp should be left. A city wall built by black bricks around the palace, with flags flying on the wall. There are hundreds of fully armed soldiers standing in front of the palace gate, guarding the palace gate with great pride.

A military general about eight feet tall, burly, wearing a helmet and armor, hanging on his waist, was about forty years old, and had a beard walking back and forth in front of the palace gate, looking anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

"Father, are you finally back?"

When the middle-aged general saw Baili Xi, who had white hair, returned from a distance, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and with a few followers, he stepped forward to greet him with great strides.

“Well…”

Baili Xi was full of energy. Although he had galloped a hundred miles along the way, his face was not red or breathless. He held the horse with a majestic look on his face and turned over and got off the horse without any sign of old age.

"Why did the envoy of Jin come from? How did the lord answer?"

Bailixi handed the whip to his son Bailisi, tidied up his somewhat messy clothes, and asked in a solemn voice, with extraordinary demeanor.

"This middle-aged general called Baili Xi his father, it should be his son, right?"

Fang Li looked up and down at the middle-aged general who was talking to Baili Xi without hesitation, and guessed in his heart. At this moment, the system's crisp reminder suddenly sounded in his mind: "Clang... The lord can use the system to query the characters he is in contact, and can use mobile phones to query, or use intentions to query, audio-visual combination, which will provide the lord with all-round assistance."

Fang Li moved slightly inside and subconsciously hid his phone so that he would not be able to explain clearly after being discovered. He communicated with the system with his mind: "Then please help me check Baili Xi's abilities, right?"

"Clang... The system is being detected, lord, please wait!"

"Clang... After the query, Bailixi is a development-oriented talent, and the four dimensions are as follows: Bailixi - 68 in power, 56 in power, 91 in power, and 95 in internal affairs."

"I understand the four dimensions of the rule and the Wu Yong, but what is the concept of development-oriented talent?" Fang Li was puzzled and asked the system.

The system patiently answered: "All the talents in the world can be planned into three categories, namely war, development, auxiliary, war is good at military affairs, development is better than internal affairs, and auxiliary is good at auxiliary. Of course, the lord can also allow war talents to develop internal affairs and let development talents lead the military, but this cannot exert the maximum potential of talents, and often can only achieve half the result with twice the effort."

Fang Li suddenly realized: "I understand, then do you check the abilities of this general for me?"

"Clang... After the query, this person is Baili Shi, the son of Baili Xi, and his name is Meng Ming. He is a war-type talent, with 86 rulers, 83 force, 71 strategy, and 63 internal affairs."

Fang Li was about to ask the system if he could check his abilities, but suddenly he found that behind Baili Shi, a young soldier with red lips and white teeth, fair skin, bright eyes, slim figure, wearing armor and sword hanging on his waist kept looking at him, fearing that he would reveal his clues, so he left the system and pretended to be nothing but standing behind Baili Xi and listening to the conversation between them father and son.

Baili Shi replied to his father: "Reply to his father's words, the envoy of Jin brought a BMW that could travel thousands of miles a day, and a jade plate-like thorny bib, intending to use the way from our country to attack Guo."

After hearing what his son said, Baili Xi's cheeks twitched slightly and he pondered: "Borrowing Guo? I think it will probably be the only way to destroy our Yu Kingdom by the way, right? If your lips are lost, your teeth will be cold. I must stop the lord from forming an alliance with Jin Kingdom."

Bailishi nodded and said, "What my father said is very true. The child and Gong Zhiqi also view it. Jin State uses the way to attack Guo, but after destroying Guo State, they will inevitably attack our Yu State. This matter is absolutely impossible! The lord is ready to move when he sees the treasure, and only the father can stop the lord's decision."

Baili Xi's eyes were as iron as iron, and he walked on a big walk: "Follow me to enter the palace!"

Baili Xi took a few steps, turned his head and glanced at Fang Li and the young ranger on the road, and whispered loudly: "Xia Ran, Fang Li, you two follow me to the palace."

"It seems that I have a good status in Baili Xi's mind. More than 30 visitors were present, and they only ordered me and this guy named Xia Ran."

Fang Li muttered in his heart, and bowed with the young ranger named Xia Ran: "Here!"

At that moment, Baili looked forward to the way, Baili Xi carried his hands on his back and calmly followed. Fang Li and Xia Ran surrounded each other, leaving dozens of visitors and headed straight for the palace.

"Grandpa, don't you take me to the palace?" Baili Xi had just walked a few steps, and the young soldier with red lips and white teeth behind him asked with a grievance.

Baili Xi did not stop and said without looking back: "Call me, Xiangbang, how can you allow a woman to participate in national affairs?"

The young soldier disguised as a man showed grievance and muttered, "Why can my father call you father? I can't call you grandpa? Is it clear that he prefers boys over girls!"

Baili Xi and his party had just entered the palace when they saw a middle-aged civil servant wearing a green robe and a clear face trotted up and bowed from afar: "Xiangbang, you are finally back. If you don't come back, your lord will form an alliance with Jin."

It was not someone else who came, but Gong Zhiqi, the official of Yu State. At the beginning, it was he who recommended Baili Xi to Duke Xiang of Yu, allowing Baili Xi to enter the career of officialdom. However, later Baili Xi showed his strong ability to govern the country and rose to prominence. He was appointed as the prime minister by Duke Xiang of Yu State and became the leader of all officials of Yu State.

Although Baili Xi is now respectful in his status, he still respects Gong Zhiqi, the leader, and stopped and returned, "Doctor Gong, why is the lord so eager to form an alliance with Jin State? Who is the messenger?"

Gong Zhiqi bowed and replied, "If you return to Xiangbang, you will be Xun Xi, a doctor of Jin State."

Baili Xi nodded slightly and said, "Oh... It turned out to be him. I heard that this is a lobbyist with a clever tongue and a brilliant lotus. No wonder he was confused by the lord. Since I have returned, I must stop the Yu Jin alliance and avoid the false destruction of Guo, so as to avoid the loss of his lips and teeth and coldness!"
