Chapter 518: A Strange Scene
Because Qi is a powerful northern country. Although the Wu State www.biquge.info already strong, it was not easy to quickly conquer the Qi State.
As a result, King Wu Lu decided to attack the relatively weak Yue Kingdom in the south. Because only by taking down the Yue State first, can we attack the Qi State with confidence. Otherwise, your side is preparing to attack the Qi Kingdom! Yue Guo stabbed you in the back, and it would be worth it. In that case, it would be very troublesome.
There is also the king of Yue, Yunchang, who died of illness and is now succeeded by his son Gou Jian. With the new king in power, it is likely that the regime will not be too stable. So King Wu felt that this was a good opportunity to attack the Yue Kingdom.
In this way, Wu Wang Lu led the army and launched an attack on the Yue Kingdom. originally thought that this time, he could defeat Yue Guo at once.
Who knows, the king named Gou Jian, who is now replaced by Yue Guo, has some military talent, and in this battle, Gou Jian is an amazing bitter trick for the army of Wu State.
From his army, he singled out some warriors who swore to be loyal to the country, and then lined them up in three rows. Suddenly, it rushed into the army of Wu State. The Wu army was in chaos at that time, and I thought they were going to fight hard!
But as a result, a strange scene soon occurred in the army of Wu State. These warriors who rushed in, with spears in their hands, did not stab at the warriors of the Wu army, but stabbed them in their own throats, and they committed suicide in the army of the Wu state.
This strange scene completely stunned the soldiers of Wu State, and they didn't know what to do at all, after all, this thing was too sudden, too abnormal, and too weird, and it couldn't help but make people both scared and overwhelmed.
That is, when the soldiers in the army of Wu were all dumbfounded, Gou Jian led his elite troops and suddenly rushed into the army of Wu again.
At this time, the army of Wu State was immediately chaotic, and it was impossible to command it at all, and everyone became a plate of scattered sand, just fleeing in all directions.
When he saw it, he was also dumbfounded. There was no choice but to quickly lead some of his guards and run away immediately.
But Gou Jian did not let him go, but personally rode a fast horse, took a bow and shot an arrow, which was to shoot an arrow at Helu. To say that this Goujian's archery is still good. The distance was dozens of meters, but he still shot in the thigh.
However, under the protection of his entourage, he fled back to Wu with some remnants of the defeated army.
Originally, he thought that his arrow wound was only on the thigh, not a fatal wound, but who knew that Gou Jian's arrows were not ordinary arrows, they were all poisoned arrows fed with poison.
In this way, due to the serious injuries of Wu Wanglu, he died shortly after returning to China.
After his death, he was succeeded by his son's husband. At this time, the husband was not very sensible. So Wu Zixu was the first assistant to assist Fucha in governing state affairs.
Wu Zixu never forgot to tell his husband that his father had Gou Jian killed, and asked his husband to always think about avenging his father.
To say, this husband is really a piece of material to be a king, this time to take office, that is, he quickly entered the situation, with the help of Lao Wu, that is conscientious and hard work, while doing a good job in agricultural production, while carrying out military training.
Fucha now only thinks about doing something to avenge his father, so he doesn't want to eat, drink and have fun at all, and he has become a workaholic, making his palace beauties feel that they have been left out. can think that my husband is all for the future of the country, in order to avenge the former king, he is also obediently entertaining himself, and he has not given his husband any problems.
In this way, after only three years of hard work, Fucha has made Wu's comprehensive national strength leap to a new level.
Seeing that his strength had increased a lot, he began to think about revenge. At first, Wu Zixu was a little disagreeing, thinking, train for another two years. Kefucha was already a little impatient at this time, so he insisted on attacking Yueguo.
Coincidentally, this year, Vietnam suffered a locust plague that had not been seen in a century, which greatly reduced the grain production of Vietnam and put the lives of the vast number of people in dire straits.
In the face of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Lao Wu also felt that this was a rare opportunity, so he agreed to send his husband to attack Yueguo.
The husband is young and vigorous, and he has martial arts. So it was the royal drive to launch a surprise attack on the Yue Kingdom.
At this time, it caught Yue Guo off guard, although Gou Jian was not an idle person, but the forces attacking Wu were very fierce, and the army of Yue State, during this period of time, was originally tight in funds, and the food in logistics was not good, and all the soldiers could not even eat enough, so they had the strength to fight.
In this way, Gou Jian couldn't bear this battle, and soon let the army of Wu State besiege some of the remnants of the army he led in a place called Huiji Mountain.
At this point, Gou Jian was also disheartened, feeling that his end was about to fall, so he wanted to kill his wife and children, and then led the remaining 5,000 elite soldiers to fight to the death with his husband.
At this time, one of Gou Jian's advisers named Wen Zhong said to Gou Jian, 'King, we might as well surrender! ’
Gou Jian listened, and felt that there was some truth, but he also knew that the husband came to attack them for revenge, and now that he was besieged by others, the enemy was in front of him, and people were willing to accept your surrender!
So he said to Wen Zhong, 'Do you feel confident in doing this? ’
Wen Zhong looked at Gou Jian and said, "You can leave this matter to me, I will definitely be able to help you do it." ’
So Wen Zhong went to see Fucha himself, and he knelt down in front of Fucha and said, 'As long as Fucha releases the king of their family, their king is willing to be a courtier of Fucha, pay tribute to Wu every year, and submit to Wu from generation to generation. ’
When the husband heard this, he naturally wouldn't agree, he had worked hard for so many years, wasn't it just for today!
There was no way, Wen Zhong had to go back again. told Gou Jian about his husband's decision, and Gou Jian wanted to kill his wife and children and die with his husband!
But at this moment, another of Gou Jian's advisers named Fan Li said to Gou Jian, "My lord, I know that there is a guy named Bo Yu next to Fucha, who is a greedy and lustful person. It's better to let Dr. Wen Zhong bribe him, and then let him take care of the details for the king, maybe it's still okay. ’
As soon as he heard Fan Li's words, Gou Jian felt very reasonable, so he asked Wen Zhong to bring some gold and silver treasures and some beauties to secretly see Bo Yu.
This ruffian is a greedy and lustful person, and when he saw the money beauty sent by Wen Zhong, he was as happy as a fart.
So this ruffian met her husband with Wen Zhong. Wen Zhong said to his husband, 'As long as the husband releases their king, Gou Jian is willing to come to Wu with his wife to be slaves and serve the king together.' But if the king does not agree, then my king will lead five thousand elite soldiers to die with the king, and when the time comes, everyone will be finished together, so please think twice before acting. ’
These words really made the husband a little dilemma. At this time, the ruffian took the opportunity to say, 'King, instead of dying with Gou Jian, it is better to let him go and let him come to the country as a slave, so that he can not only wear down Gou Jian's will, but also get a large amount of tribute from the Yue country, isn't this the best of both worlds!
Bo Yu had already won the trust of his husband, but now when he heard this, he wanted to change his mind. But Wu Zixu, who was standing on the side, just quit, he knew very well that Bo Lu was a greedy and lustful guy, so he said to his husband, 'Wang, you must not believe Bo Luo's words, he must have accepted Gou Jian's bribes. This is the only chance to destroy the Yue Kingdom, and if you are soft-hearted, there will be endless troubles. ’
When the ruffian heard this, he flattered his husband and said, 'My lord, since the return of the first king to heaven, everything has been decided by Shousuke, my lord, are you the lord of a country? ’
To say that this husband also feels that after he becomes the king, he has a feeling of being a puppet, after all, he has to ask the first assistant for everything, which makes him feel faceless. He doesn't have to listen to Shoufu in everything for the rest of his life, he wants to do a career, how can he not have his own opinions!
So the husband felt that this was his chance to really be the master of the house, you Lao Wu didn't let me let go of Gou Jian, I just wanted to let him go, what can you do with me.
In this way, the husband was partial to listening and believing, and he missed an opportunity to kill Gou Jian and destroy the Yue Kingdom and avenge his father, and he was stunned to let Gou Jian escape from death.
After that, he kept his promise and went to Wu with his wife. I raise horses for my husband, and my wife sleeps with my husband. Completely pretending to be a person who has gone insane and is like a fool.
That's it, the husband and his wife endured humiliation and burden, stayed in Wu for three years, and finally Gou Jian used a 'heavy humiliation' that ordinary people can't bear. Taste the feces of the husband himself. This time, it was completely moved by Fucha, he felt that Gou Jian was already completely a psychopath, what is the difference between such a person and an idiot, even if he is let go back, what can he do, he is not the same as a neurotic all day long.
So the husband finally made another wrong decision and put Gou Jian back. Now, it's really a return to the mountain.
After Gou Jian returned to China, that was the beginning of his crazy revenge plan. For the humiliation he suffered in Wu in the past three years, it is in my heart.
In order not to forget the humiliation he suffered in Wu State, Gou Jian also invented a good way to study hard and make progress every day, that is, 'lying on the salary and tasting courage'.
In this way, Gou Jian and his wife completely let go of the dignity of a king, and like ordinary people, they all lived a life of male farmers and female weavers, and set a good example for the people of the world.
With such kings and queens, can that country not prosper? Think about how our ancestors conquered the world, and there is no need to say anything.
Under the careful governance of King Goujian, everything quickly returned to normal, and within a few years, the GDP doubled several times.
Both agricultural production and population are much stronger than they were a few years ago. Every year, a large amount of gold and silver were paid tribute to the state of Wu. And Wu Wangfucha, over the years, has only been thinking about the Northern Expedition for hegemony, and he has not paid attention to the revival of Yue at all, but feels that Yue is now a big granary for him. He can go on with his hegemony with more peace of mind.
On the contrary, although the strength of the Yue Kingdom has increased greatly, Gou Jian must not take it lightly, he is still living a simple life, and he still does not forget his shame in the Wu State. Every day is to get up early and be busy in the dark, just to be able to defeat Wu Guo one day earlier, and be ashamed.
In order to be able to completely paralyze the enemy, give yourself time to grow stronger. Gou Jian thought of a beauty plan in Sun Tzu's Art of War.
At this time, it was when Gou Jian had to use two 'sugar-coated cannonballs' to completely knock his husband unconscious. So, one day, he told Wen Zhong and Fan Li his thoughts. Let's see if they can figure out a way for him to implement this beauty plan!
After hearing this, the two thought, how difficult it can be to carry out a beauty contest across the country, and then choose a few beauties to give to their husbands.
Gou Jian didn't have a good way for a while, so he agreed to the words of the two strategists and asked them to help with this matter.
After the two received the task, they found some subordinates, and then began to search for beauties all over the country.
But this beauty is not in the store, you can find it anytime and anywhere. In ancient times, there were no TVs and computers, let alone the Internet, and it was not easy to find some beautiful women. Just like the emperor wants to draft, it will be slowly selected from all over the country.
Now for Wen Zhong and Fan Li, it is the same, that is, with the state's funds, they began to carry out some beauty pageants in cities and towns across the country.
Because everyone knows that if she can win the first place in this beauty pageant, she will be able to become the king's concubine, and then not only will this girl be able to ascend to the sky in one step, but even her family will follow suit!
As a result, those people in the towns who have some power in their families will use some improper means to send some good-looking girls in their families to participate in beauty pageants, and they can also get rankings.
And ordinary girls, even if they look good, I'm afraid they don't even have the opportunity to compete, so they are directly turned away. (To be continued.) )
