Secondly, Zigong also really did a lot of work, in order to eliminate King Wu's worries about the king of Yue in the rear, Ah Ci was willing to go to the country of Yue and persuade the king of Yue to join forces with the king of Wu to attack Qi. "The Biography of the Disciples of Zhongni in the Historical Records" wrote: The husband is small and the more he is afraid of the strong, not the brave. The brave do not take refuge, the benevolent do not exhaust, the wise do not lose time, and the king does not lose his righteousness. Today, the more the princes are shown to be benevolent, save Lu Waqi, Weijia Jin Kingdom, and the princes will take the lead in the court of Wu, and the hegemony will be successful.

dispelled Wu Wangfu's worries. After successfully convincing Wu Wangfucha, Ah Ci then quickly swam in Yue, Zigong faced his eldest brother, and said very bluntly the situation encountered in Wu State: "I wanted to persuade King Wu to help Lu State resist Qi State, but King Wu said, 'Wait until I defeat Yue Kingdom first', I said Brother, Wu Wangfu Cha has not put down your Yue Kingdom for a moment." ”

"I said that uncle, you have put so much effort into having a fart, and you want King Wu to relax your vigilance, but now it seems that it is useless! King Wu has already seen through his eldest brother's thoughts, with all due respect, if this continues, there is no hope for Yue Guo to take revenge. ”

Gou Jian listened to Zigong's words, and was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed to this brother-in-law: "Good brother-in-law save me!" The widow has indeed always wanted revenge, but the bird of the Yue country is like a bird, and the widow has never tasted anything famous every day, and he is still poor and thin in the country, and there is no way. I also asked my brother-in-law to give my brother a plan. ”

In fact, with Gou Jian's deep intentions, he is always concerned about the situation in the court of Wu State, and the nearly 100 women are super secret guards, and what happened directly through Yue Nu has been directly transmitted to his own ears, and he has already been reported what Zigong said to King Wu.

There is no need to wait for Zigong to say anything about sending troops to help Wu Guo go on the expedition, Gou Jian must believe his eldest brother, and he threw out the topic in advance - "The widow wants to take revenge on the Wu State, you give the widow a reliable idea, and don't talk about other nonsense." ”

Zigong didn't go around the bend with his eldest brother: "The king doesn't have to worry, what Fucha wants now is to conquer the world, he is a tyrant, even the old man Wu Zixu is guarded against, it seems that he can't tolerate it, and the country is also a mess, your more than 100 young ladies have contributed a lot, and if it goes on like this, Wu Guo will not last long." ”

"But this Wu Wangfu is very vigilant about the Yue Kingdom, if you want to let go of the Yue Kingdom, it is impossible to let go of the Yue Kingdom, this time the Qi State will come back to attack the Jin, and then it will naturally destroy the Yue, this time I persuaded him to attack the Qi State, the Yue Kingdom does not want to send troops to fight with him, and then attack after he goes out, I am afraid that it will not be possible."

"According to me, I said brother-in-law, you should show the most positive appearance and send a large team of men and horses to follow Wu Guo on the expedition. At that critical time, when you raise an army to attack Wu, your troops will defect in advance and kill him by surprise, and during this time, you can also save the silver of raising soldiers, and also save the distance of long-distance travel, and directly defeat Wu soldiers nearby! ”

"This sending soldiers and horses to follow is beneficial and harmless, which makes King Wu even more embarrassed, and if he is arrogant, he will be extremely opposed, and he will be more determined to fight with the Qi State. Wu fought Qi Guo, and if he lost, it would be a great joy. If he wins, Wechen has another trick-"

"There can only be one overlord in the Central Plains, how can one mountain accommodate two tigers, after Wu defeats Qi, it will inevitably touch the interests of Jin, Weichen will first go to see the king of Jin, reveal the whereabouts of Wu, let Jin get ready, and then everyone will besiege the Wu army together. Most of Wu's troops were consumed by Qi and trapped by Jin. ”

Gou Jian cocked his thumb and said, "It's still the eldest brother who is smart!" The lonely king did as his uncle said. Uncle and brother are talented, how about hanging a photo seal in Yue Kingdom, King Wu carved a photo seal for you, it is better for the widow to carve one for you, it is also part-time, the one who only pays a salary and does not go to work! ”

This is how the matter of Yue Guo was completed. Zigong returned to Wu to make a mission: "When Weichen arrived in Yueguo, he took out the seal of Wu and smashed it on the case, so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, saying, 'How can the lonely king dare to plot against Wu?' 'Don't worry, your lord, send troops immediately, and wait for the news. ”

Five days later, the minister of the Yue Kingdom, Wen Chong, really arrived, bringing a large amount of weapons, money and food.

Wen Chong knelt on the ground and made a report: "Our master heard that the king was going to crusade against the Qi country, so he quickly ordered the soldiers and horses of the whole country, and the poor people in the country were suffering, there were only 3,000 people in total, and all of them were willing to serve the king as pawns. The master of Gou Jian also has to personally wear a strong and stubborn one, rush to the front, and block the sword for the king. ”

"Hehehehe......" King Wu smiled from ear to ear, patted Zigong on the shoulder and said: "Aiqing really has the ability, this part-time Wu is quite good, not bad!" Live up to the king's trust! ”。

Zigong took the opportunity to say: "The king has taken their things, used their people, and let their lords rush to the front to fight, which is a bit too much, but I am afraid that others will say that the king is not benevolent enough to people." The king rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, and according to the opinion of Weichen, the king of Yue does not have to follow, and he can show his loyalty. ”

When Wu Wangfu was proud, he also felt a long face when he heard this, so he ordered that the king of Yue himself did not have to go on the expedition, and sent a general to get it, and it was okay to stay in Yue to raise pigs and farm. Then Wu Wangfu sent a large army, mighty, and went straight to the battlefield of the duel between the two countries of Qi and Lu.

Zigong has one last stop - to go to the Jin Kingdom and convince the Jin State monarch.

After King Wu set out on the expedition, Zigong secretly came to the Jin Kingdom, and when the Duke of Jin Ding saw Zigong coming, he seemed to get a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "The Chu State in the south is enough for my Jin State to have a headache, and now the Wu State has risen strongly, and this king heard that the Wu State is going north to compete with the Qi State for hegemony, which is not good news!" ”

"If Wu wins, then the land of Qi will be owned by Wu, without Qi as a barrier to prevent Wu from going north to fight for hegemony, at that time, the mischievous opponents of Jin will be from Chu and Wu, in the face of these two powers, this king will definitely be tired of dealing with it by then, and Jin will not only lose the overlord of the Central Plains, but also face the danger of being destroyed by Chu and Wu."

Zigong said to the Duke of Jin Ding: "Your Majesty has just received the news that the State of Wu has set out to attack the State of Qi, and he has come to report the news. There is only one overlord in this Central Plains, and if Wu is defeated, the Yue Kingdom will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble; If Wu Guo wins, he will definitely compete for the position of the overlord of the Central Plains, there is no two days in the sky, the mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and Wu will attack the Jin State with the momentum of victory. 'If you don't make up your mind, you can't respond; If the soldiers don't distinguish first, they can't defeat the enemy', the king must be careful, prepare first, and when the time comes, he dares to come, kill him and leave no armor! ”
