Gongziyu nodded and said, "Good! ”

Saying that, Gongziyu smiled at Zhao Hua again: "Yaqing, now all the ministers are under house arrest in the palace by the widow, there are many things in the country, and Shangqing is busy with military affairs, so the government affairs in the country all rely on Xianqing to help the widow, the widow can't leave Xianqing for a while, and I hope Xianqing will forgive me, don't blame the widow for not giving Xianqing a chance to relate to the old friends." ”

Zhao Slip replied: "The king is serious. The minister was promoted by the king as the secretary, and now there are many events in the country, and the ministers are not attached, at this time of crisis, the minister will naturally first be public and then private, in order to repay the king's kindness. ”

Gongziyu smiled: "In this way, the widow will be relieved." ”

As he spoke, the two ministers looked at each other and smiled.

Before the laughter stopped, someone from outside the palace came to report: "King, Gu Yang is asking to see him outside the palace during the observance period." ”

"Period?" Gongzi Yu was stunned.

This chapter is the guard of Guyang, and Gongziyu did not summon him at this time, he did not stay in Guyang, how did he come to Wucheng.

Thinking about it, Gongziyu had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Let him in."

"Yui."

Not long after, after Zhang Yi returned to the main hall, Zhang Zhi deliberately put on his head, looked embarrassed, hurriedly ran into the hall, grabbed the ground with his head, and cried loudly: "The king, the minister has failed to hold the Guyang ferry, let the ferry fall into the hands of the Chu people, and the minister is guilty." ”

Gongziyu was shocked when he heard this: "What, the general said that the Guyang ferry was taken away by the Chu army?" ”

Zhang Qi choked up and nodded, "That's right, King." ”

Gongziyu froze for a moment, and then secretly frightened in his heart: "How dare the Chu army be like this, could it be that the Chu people are really fighting Huainan's idea?" ”

Zhao Slip saw that Gongziyu's face changed, but his heart was relaxed and tightened at the same time.

Guyang is an important stronghold in the north of Wucheng, is the gateway to Wucheng, Tang Yu captured the Guyang ferry, which means that the Yue State can no longer stop the follow-up Chu army, a steady stream of slaughter into the Jiangdong land.

In this way, Yue Guoyan is fortunate to be reasonable.

It's just that Tang Yu's provocative behavior of Chi Guoguo has put him in danger.

Thinking about it, Zhao Hua immediately bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "King, the Chu people have seized the ferry, and the minister is guilty of not investigating, please ask the king to surrender." And asked the king to give the minister a chance, let the minister go to the Chu camp to ask the Chu army why it was like this. ”

Saying that, Zhao Slip couldn't bow down for a long time.

Zhang Yi saw Zhao slippery plea, his heart was suddenly ashamed and angry, and he kicked out a fierce kick at the chapter period who was still pleading, kicked it down, and said angrily: "The king entrusted Gu Yang to you, this is your trust, now that Gu Yang is lost, why do you want to come back, you still have the face to come back to ask for sin, I Zhang is full of people, I am ashamed of you." ”

Saying that, Zhang Yi also bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "The king, the ministers have no way to teach their sons, and the ministers are guilty." ”

And after Zhang Qi was kicked down by Zhang Yi, seeing that Zhang Yi also prayed for a long time, he couldn't care about the severe pain in his body, so he hurriedly leaned over again and bowed again: "King, the minister is guilty of death." ”

Gongziyu looked at the three people in front of him who couldn't afford to bow down for a long time, thought about it, and thought about luck, so he asked: "Zhangji, why did the Chu army seize the Guyang Ferry, did you despise the Chu army, or offended Chu Sima Tang Yu?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qi immediately shook his head and said: "The king, the minister knows that the king urgently needs the help of the Chu army, and he will only make friends with the Chu army, where will he dare to despise or offend the Chu people." ”

A trace of panic flashed on Gongziyu's face, and he asked hesitantly again: "Then why did the Chu army forcibly take my Guyang ferry." ”

Zhang Zhi replied sadly: "The king, it is Tang Yu who said that emergency is like fighting fire, in order to come to Wucheng as soon as possible, it is inconvenient to carry baggage, so he forcibly took the Guyang ferry, thinking that it was a place to hoard grain." ”

Gongzi Yu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "So, the Chu army went south from Guyang and didn't carry much military rations?" ”

Zhang Qi nodded and said: "Back to the king, that's exactly the case, the minister led the army to follow the Chu army south, and I saw with my own eyes that the Chu army was just carrying three days' rations, so it went south, and it took less than two days to arrive in Wucheng from Guyang." Now, the rations in the hands of the Chu army are less than two days. ”

When Gongziyu heard that the grain in Chu Jun's hands had been less than two days, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Chu army plans to turn against the Yue Kingdom and forcibly take Wucheng, then it is undoubtedly self-defeating to bring only such a little food. As long as the Vietnamese army sticks to Yanling and cuts off the grain route of the Chu army, then the 80,000 Chu troops who came to Wucheng will die without a place to be buried.

Thinking of this, Gongziyu felt a lot more relaxed.

Then, Gongziyu remembered what Zhang Qi said about returning with the army, so he asked: "General, just now you said that you led the army back, didn't the Chu people kill when they forcibly took the ferry?" ”

Zhang Zhi remembered the situation when the Chu army seized the ferry, when the entire ferry was full of Chu troops, most of the Vietnamese army was transferred by him to transport grain, and the remaining Vietnamese soldiers, facing the Chu army with absolute superiority in numbers, plus no one to command, so there was no resistance at all, and they were driven out of the ferry.

Thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "Back to the king, when the army of Chu arrived at the Guyang ferry, the minister opened the gate of the water village and let the Chu army go ashore. The minister was taken by surprise, and the Chu army had already gone ashore and had no strength to resist. So the ferry was taken away.

And the Chu army didn't seem to want to fight with us, just drove the ministers out of the ferry, and then did not make any further moves. ”

Gongziyu nodded, although the Chu army forcibly took the ferry, but its behavior was still relatively restrained, and it seemed that he did not want to completely break with the Yue country.

Thinking about it, he asked again: "How many people did the general bring back?" ”

Zhang Zhiying said: "The king, the minister thought at that time that the king was in urgent need of troops in Wucheng at this time, and the minister had already lost the ferry, so he brought back all the defenders of the three thousand valleys, and asked the king for his guilt." ”

Gongzi Yu was stunned, the Guyang garrison was 3,000 people, and now all these 3,000 people have been brought back to Wucheng.

This ······

So, Gongzi Yu was surprised: "All the three thousand defenders were brought back, didn't the Chu army kill people when they forcibly took the ferry?" ”

Zhang Qi's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hesitated for a moment, but after all, he didn't dare to bully the king, and lowered his head and responded: "Back to the king, the Chu army only drove away, and did not fight with the defenders, so only more than 100 people were injured, and no one was killed. ”

Gongziyu stiffened: "······"

Zhao almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

Three thousand defenders guarded the ferry, but with no one killed, the crossing was lost.

This Chu army asked for a ferry, is this considered a forcible take?

Also, is this ferry considered lost?

It is clearly given to Chu Jun in the chapter period!

On the other side, when Zhang Yi heard Zhang Qi's words, he was immediately ashamed and indignant, and as soon as he raised his hand, he slapped Zhang Qi hard in the face, and then asked for guilt: "King, the minister gave birth to such a coward, capital crime, capital crime." ”

Gongziyu waved his hand and stopped Zhang Yi's plea.

The situation is obvious, in order to control the retreat and find a place to store grain, the Chu army took a fancy to the ferry port in Guyang.

As a result, this chapter saw that the ferry gate had been lost, and the Chu army was strong, so it was half-pushed and half-pushed, and there was no intention of resisting at all.

This is like a weak woman without a wisp of protection, facing a strong man, in order to protect herself, she has no choice but not to resist.

And the strong man's actions are so gentle.

In this way, if you are willing to do so, it seems that you can't force it.

Well, as soon as his thinking changed and his thoughts changed, the sense of humiliation in Gongziyu's heart suddenly dissipated mostly, and even his face eased a lot.
