"Okay." Gongziyu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and responded: "General Zhang Yi, now that Gongshiyu is dead, you immediately take his head and go to the military camp in the city to force the defenders of Wucheng under his command to surrender, and tell them that as long as they are willing to surrender, the widow can not be blamed for the past." ”

"The minister commands." Zhang Yi bowed again.

Then he walked to the corpse of Gongshiyu, borrowed a sword from one of Gongshiyu's guards, and then looked at Gongshiyu's corpse, with a cruel smile on his face, and then raised his sword and fell, and cut off the head of Gongshiyu with a sword.

Then, Zhang Yi picked up the head of the Gongshiyu, saluted Gongzi Yu, and then walked out quickly.

Zhang Yi had just left, and the guards who had just walked on Yue Meng's back quickly walked into the main hall and reported: "King, Shangqing is seriously injured, and I want to see the king for the last time at this moment." ”

"Shangqing!" Gongzi Yu was stunned when he heard this, muttered for a while, and then looked at the ministers in the palace and said: "Zhuqing, at this time, there is chaos outside the palace, and there are many thieves, in order to avoid accidents for you, please also ask Zhuqing to stay here, wait for the widow to quell the rebellion in Wucheng, and then send Zhuqing back to the house." ”

Kidnapping or house arrest?

Or maybe both!

The ministers lowered their heads, and their eyes caught a glimpse of the headless corpse in the corner of the Gongshi, and they all responded respectfully: "King Xie!" ”

Gongzi Yu laughed and got up from the throne of Yue, and then walked out of the main hall.

As soon as he arrived outside the hall, Gongziyu immediately coldly ordered the guards outside: "Seal the hall, no one is allowed to come out, as long as someone escapes, no matter who it is, there will be no mercy." ”

"No." The guards responded in unison.

Gongziyu nodded, and then walked briskly towards the side hall.

Not long after, on the couch in the side hall, Yue Meng, who lost too much blood due to several swords in his body, and his face was gray, when he saw Gongziyu walking in, he immediately said in a weak voice: "Gongzi, you are here!" ”

Gongziyu nodded when he heard this: "The widow is here, I don't know if Shangqing has anything to say to me now?" ”

Yue Meng coughed violently a few times, a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Gongzi Yu weakly and said, "Childe, you can come back now..."

"Turn back? How do you turn around, do you think that the widow has come to this moment just temporarily? That's because the widow has no choice! Before Yue Meng's words were finished, Gongzi Yu interrupted loudly and loudly: "Since the day of Gongzi's hoof crown salute more than ten years ago, I have no choice. Since then, I have been on a path of no return. It's not just me, it's the same with Childe's Hoof, and neither of us can turn back. ”

Saying that, Gongziyu sneered again: "Today, the widow raised an army to forcibly take the throne of the king of Yue, but he just got what the widow deserved in advance, and there was no need to turn back at all, and there was no such thing as turning back." ”

Yue Meng sighed when he heard this, paused, and said again: "Even if you control the palace and Wu Cheng, what can you do?" Now the main force of my Yue Kingdom is all in the hands of the king, and the city guards in my Yue country's homeland, and the city guards in Jiangdong and Huainan, no one will listen to your orders. When the king returns with his army, all parts of the country will inevitably greet him, at that time, even if you have Wu City, how can you resist? A mere Wu city is just a tree without roots, and it can't last long. ”

Gongziyu smiled contemptuously when he heard this: "Shangqing, don't bother with it, the widow has a way to make the city guards in various places wait for dispatch." Moreover, the father will not come back, and the widow will let the father go to the Qi State, the Song State, or the Wei State to retire. ”

Yue Meng was stunned, and saw that Gongzi Yu had a confident smile on his face, not like a lie, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that the army led by the King of Chu had been stranded in the small city of Yinan in the southwest of Langya, and suddenly said in shock: "Gongzi asked the Chu army for help?" ”

Gongziyu was not surprised that Yue Meng could guess this, so he nodded: "Yes, three days later, tens of thousands of Chu troops will come to Wucheng to help the widows stabilize the situation in Yue and deter all places. At that time, the city guards in various parts of the country would be willing to listen to the dispatch of the widows. ”

When Yue Meng heard this, he immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood, and said in despair: "Gongzi Yu traded with the Chu State, so what about Huaibei, Yandi, Jidi, and even Langya, which I have worked hard to occupy in the past few years?" ”

Gongziyu was silent when he heard this.

Seeing this, Yue Meng burst into tears and said with great hatred: "Childe, since more than a hundred years ago, my Yue country has experienced decades of civil strife, and its sphere of influence was once suppressed by Qi and Chu in Jiangdong, and the land north of the river was all encroached upon by Qi and Chu. Since the accession of the first king, the situation in our country has improved, and after decades, through the efforts of the first king and the king, the lost land will be slowly recovered.

Now, seeing that the decline of the Chu State is imminent, my Yue Kingdom will soon be able to regain all the lost land, in this case, Gongzi actually did such a thing, is Gongzi worthy of Yueguo? Under the Yellow Spring, what face does the son have to meet the ancestors and ancestors? ”

Gongziyu was silent when he heard this.

Seeing that Gongzi Yu was silent, Yue Meng asked again: "Gongzi, the secretary of a big country, is more expensive than the king of a small country." The son of the Yue Kingdom, don't you know that the king of a small country like the Lu State is more noble? ”

Gongziyu was silent for a long time, and then he spoke: "Shangqing, although the Yue country you said is good, it is not a widowed Yue country after all. What's more, the widow believes even more that he would rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix! ”

As soon as he heard this, Yue Meng was stunned for a moment, and finally fell directly on the couch weakly, already out of breath and inlet in less.

"Sir!" Seeing this, Gongziyu's heart suddenly tightened.

For Yuemeng, Gongziyu still respects him very much in his heart.

Yue Meng heard Gongziyu's call, and a brilliance suddenly flashed in his eyes again, and he slightly raised his left hand close to Gongziyu. It's just that his left hand moved slightly, but due to excessive blood loss, he was really weak, and he only lifted it, and then quickly fell on the couch.

Seeing this, Gongziyu suddenly remembered the situation when Yue Meng came to see him not long ago, at that time, he was pretending to be sick, but now, Yue Meng is really going to die.

Thinking about it, Gongziyu's heart softened, and he immediately took a step forward, stretched out a hand, held Yue Meng's left hand, and asked, "Sir, I don't know if you have anything else to say?" ”

Yue Meng opened his lips and said with all the strength of his body: "Childe, I have tasted and heard, the bird is dying, its song is also mourning, the person is dying, and its words are also good." In the past, the old minister was in Vietnam, and he never offered a strategy to the son, but now, the old minister will soon go to see the first king, and before leaving, he has a few words to ask the son. ”

Gongziyu nodded and said, "Sir, please speak." ”

"If the prince succeeds, then the king's side may fail, and the main force of the Vietnamese army in the king's hands may also be more auspicious. After this great difficulty, the strength of the Yue country will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to recover its vitality in a few years or even more than ten years. Therefore, what the minister wants to say is the next self-preservation strategy of the Yue Kingdom. ”
