Chapter Fifty-Eight: Centrifugal Departure
In Huiji City, the Yue people have been worried recently, and no one knows when the closed city gate will be opened, and what will be the situation after it is opened. Seeing the majestic Dazai Wenchong in the past, a few days ago, he led a group of soldiers who lost their armor to return to Huiji City, thinking of Wenzhong's anxious appearance that day, the hearts of the people in the city were like being hit hard by a boulder, and everyone knew in their hearts that the Vietnamese army was afraid that the battle would be defeated. The originally bustling street market is now only a few people walking sparsely, and it seems that with the closure of the city gate, there is no longer any past vitality in the city.
Just when the people were full of anxiety and panicked at home, a long horn broke the silence of Huiji City in recent days.
"Wu Jun is about to attack Huiji"
"How can this be good?"
"Is there only one way for me to wait for death?"
The people rushed to the streets, each expressing their uneasiness, and the cries of children and the shouts of women filled all parts of Huiji City for a time.
"The doctor is here, look at the doctor is here," I don't know who shouted such a shout.
Hearing the sound, the people on the street were quiet, and I don't know when Fan Li has become a solid support in the hearts of Yue people.
I saw Fan Li slowly ascending to the high platform of Huiji Market, and the people saw clearly that the person who came was Fan Li, the doctor, and they all rushed to Fan Li for a while.
Looking at the people in the city so frightened, Fan Li couldn't help but feel very bitter in his heart, since that day to send a letter to the king of Yue, talking about the surrender, the king of Yue has never sent someone to summon Fan Li into the palace, Fan Li knows the meaning of Chen Gou in his heart, but he can't accept the surrender, but in the face of such a situation in the city, Fan Li can't bear it, and has to come forward to stabilize people's hearts.
"Everyone, and listen to Fan Li's words, now I have been in the country for a hundred years, and I have suffered countless hardships, but I have survived, at this moment Dazai Wenzhong has led troops to garrison the city gate, you must not worry" Fan Li changed the decadent color of the past, and looked at the people in the city Zheng Di said loudly.
Sure enough, under Fan Li's words, the uneasiness among the people decreased slightly, but before he could wait for a while, someone in the crowd said, "Dare to ask the doctor, whether Dazai returned from defeat a few days ago, will I still have the strength to defend the city at this moment?"
"Yes, if you can keep the city gates, why are the city gates closed all the time?"
"No, with the doctor here, we will be able to survive safely"
Seeing that the people did not let go of their panic, and seeing the scene, as the voices of the people intertwined, it became more and more chaotic. Fan Li sighed secretly, did not speak again, knowing that what the people said and worried about was the truth, at this moment only hoped that Wu Jun could let go of the people in the city after breaking the city, helpless and powerless, when Fan Li was unspeakable, there was a long horn sounding throughout the city.
"Why should the doctor deceive himself, the more I am the more people are iron-clad, so let the widow say it"
I don't know when, King Yue drove a unicorn horse under the escort of a team of guards, came to the side of the high platform, King Yue said lightly to Fan Li.
"Meet my king" When the people saw the king of Yue coming, they all knelt down and bowed to the ground.
Jumping off the unicorn, King Yue walked to Fan Li, his expression was quite complacent, only to see King Yue sneering and saying, "The widow just saw the doctor on the palace wall, and the people are all looking forward to it, the doctor is really the pillar of my Yue country" said, Chen Gou's eyes flashed a trace of coldness.
"Hey" Fan Li how I don't know how the king of Yue saw the people respect himself so much, and the uneasy heart rose again, but it was absurd, and it was at this moment that Fan Li realized that the Yue Kingdom had been defeated since the defeat of the year, and since Chen Gou returned to the country, Fan Li also said that as long as the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom are united, the Yue Kingdom will eventually rise one day.
After bowing, Fan Li didn't say anything more, but just stepped aside, and his expression felt indescribably lonely.
"Hmph" Chen Gou said secretly in his heart, seeing Fan Li's appearance, he also knew that it was the right thing to appease the people at this moment, and then turned to the people and said, "You and others are all the people of Yue Country, and the widow has not been worried about the people of Yue Country since he succeeded to the throne, so the widow really does not want to deceive you and others like the doctor" said with a look of shame on his face.
The people who had been kneeling on the ground were shocked when they heard the king's words, and after a while, several people finally got up and asked, "What the king said, but my Vietnamese army was defeated."
"Hey" sighed, Chen Gou looked at the people in despair and said, "Exactly"
With Chen Gou's words, the people in the city no longer cared about the etiquette of the monarch and the people, and they all asked, "Your Majesty, how is this good?"
"The king has a strategy to retreat from the enemy at this moment"
"No, the doctor just said that I will be fine."
Seeing that the people were panicked at the moment, Chen Gou said again, "Doctor, I presented a plan to the widow a few days ago" Saying that, Chen Gou sneered, glanced at Fan Li, who was standing on the side, and continued, "You can know the strategy of the doctor to retreat from the enemy."
"It turns out that the doctor has a plan"
"That's it"
When the people heard the words, they were all looking forward to it.
Seeing that the people heard that Fan Li had presented a strategy to retreat from the enemy, they no longer had a look of panic, and Chen Gou felt a burst of anger in his heart for no reason.
"I don't want the doctor's policy to surrender," Chen Gou looked distressed.
From expectation, to disappointment, from hope, to despair, the people in Huiji City are experiencing such suffering at the moment.
"Impossible, how could the doctor come up with such a plan"
All the people looked at Fan Li, with expectations, doubts, and of course, disappointments.
Fan Li took in the expressions of the people, but at this moment Fan Li did not say a word, but for the people in front of him, his companions when he was young, until now the monarch and ministers have been more than ten years, Fan Li knows that he has never really understood, Fan Li looked at the person in front of him with a mournful expression, and wanted to see the person in front of him clearly.
"Yes, the widow also doesn't believe it, but the doctor's book is really in the hands of the widow, surrender, even if the widow is willing, are you willing?"
Seeing that King Yue took out a piece of paper, seeing that Fan Li did not say a word, the people understood that what King Yue said was true, and surprisingly no one spoke again, just looked at each other with desolate expressions, and from time to time cast an inquiring gaze to Fan Li. . .
It seems that the giant in everyone's hearts for many years has collapsed at this moment.
At this moment, Fan Li wanted to tell the people how much he wanted to tell the people that the only way to surrender at the moment could he keep everyone safe, but with the actions of King Yue, it was difficult for Fan Li to say anything about surrendering. Fan Li couldn't guess why Chen Gou made this move... Is it just because Chen Gou wants to tell everyone that he is the king of Yue?
"You still remember the widow's wife, the queen of my Yue Kingdom" seemed to recall the person who had passed away for a long time, Chen Gou showed a painful look, "You know that the queen died in Wu Kingdom, but who knows that Ziyu was humiliated by King Wu, and he has no shame to see my subjects of Yue Kingdom, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, how can the widow descend, how can I descend Yue Kingdom" Chen Gou's eyes were red and he said hideously
"That's the case" When the people saw Chen Gou say this, they all felt deeply humiliated, and for a while, the people's hearts were full of anger.
The cries of "swear not to surrender" and "will avenge the queen" suddenly came to an end.
Seeing that the people were already desperate to surrender, Chen Gou showed a look of relief on his face, and then said, "It is worthy of being the people of my Yue country, and I want to come to Ziyu to see you in the spirit of heaven and feel so gratified, but at this moment, the Wu army is breaking the city, and the widow is willing to personally lead the palace guards to the city gate to garrison, and you are willing to follow."
All the people cried out, and now all the women and children took up what they could hold on to and rushed towards the gates.
Seeing this, Fan Li seemed to be stunned and stood on the high platform.
"Chen Gou" A sad shout came out of Fan Li's mouth, Fan Li opened his eyes wide and looked at the person in front of him, and for a while Fan Li seemed to be unable to find suitable words to describe the person in front of him.
"Fan Li, you only need to remember that the widow is the king of the Yue country, all my Yue country is a widow's thing, today the widow is here, the Yue country is still there, the Yue people are still there" Chen Gou heard Fan Li's voice, saw Fan Li's unbelievable look, faintly echoed, and then Chen Gou jumped on the unicorn and went towards the city gate.
There was a crowd of people in the market for a while, and the noisy sound was endless, and Fan Li seemed to be in the abyss at the moment, and he could no longer see or hear.
I don't know when King Yue has turned into a cold poisonous python, it turns out that he and Chen Gou have never asked for the same.
