Wei Ziheng and Sun Qi listened carefully on the side, the two of them sat there, as if the master was teaching morality, Wan Yanzhi did not sit, but stood behind Ji Jianyong, looking at his somewhat empty eyes, it seemed that he was not listening to Ji Jianyong's eloquent narration.

Ji Jianyong, with a sad expression, said: "In the face of the strong encirclement and suppression of the Vietnamese army, the Wu League, which responded to the battle in a hurry, can be said to have suffered heavy losses, and the first master of the Wu League and other people who planned the Wu League almost died in battle, and the children behind the former ministers of Wu also lost everything.

At that time, the Vietnamese army was very targeted to encircle and suppress the former Wu generals, which forced the Wu League to discuss urgently, and decided to preserve its strength and retreat to the mountains, which led to the lively scene of today's magnificent mountain villa.

Under the frantic suppression of the Vietnamese army, Wu Meng suddenly declined from an extremely prosperous scene at that time. Externally, it is still necessary to carefully guard against another attack by the Vietnamese army, and internally, we are also actively discussing the main reasons for this defeat.

Because of the large number of people, each expressing their own opinions, some unfriendly things broke out in the process of discussing the internal causes. The first leader of the alliance had died in battle, and no one could blame him for the failure of this hasty battle. As a result, some narrow-minded people began to provoke some contradictions among the internal members of the Wu League, which greatly intensified the disharmony in the internal affairs of the Wu League.

Some of the local forces that had originally joined the Wu League also began to choose to withdraw, and they were forced to leave in order to protect themselves under the pressure of the Yue State and the responsibility of their own subordinates.

The defeat of the tragic battle and the withdrawal of some members made the fighting spirit within the Wu League increasingly depressed. It wasn't until the ascension of the second leader that the confidence of the people increased by one point.

Sun Qi, your father used to be a person with extremely heavy words in Wu Meng. As one of the founders of the Wu League, he thought of a lot of countermeasures and methods of using troops for the Wu League, including many strategies for health and recuperation, strengthening close communication in various places in the former Wu State, and forming an extremely perfect network of intelligence information transmission. At the same time, he also actively held intimate talks with the second master of the Wu League. Internally, the reform of the personnel system has been carried out, so that the Wu League is no longer loose and tends to be strict and compact. ”

Sun Qi couldn't help but be a little surprised and said, "I can't imagine that my father actually engaged in these things in his early years?" How did I never know? ”

Wan Yanzhi said for Ji Jianyong on the side: "You don't know this, when Wu was not destroyed, your father was a scholar within a radius of dozens of miles. The people of the Yue country all know something, how can this big man, the king of Yue, not know? What's more, after Wu was destroyed, Fan Li, a famous minister of the Yue Kingdom, personally went up the mountain to visit your father to discuss major events in the world, changes in yin and yang, astronomy and geography, common sense of human feelings, and so on.

Such an important person Yue Guo has always been carefully monitored, not to mention that your ancestors were important ministers of Wu State in the past, Changqing Gong, and they were especially respected among the Wu people, and the people called it, Lord Sun. Thinking about Wu Zixu back then, there is no descendant to call him respectfully. It can be seen that the wide influence of Changqing Gong back then is amazing. ”

Wu Zixu, Wei Ziheng, hearing this name Wei Ziheng couldn't help sighing: "Lord Wu Zixu is a legend in this life, in the past, Wu Zixu fled from Chu to Wu and became a major minister of King Wu, the founder of Gusu City, and his influence on Wu is also extraordinary. After that, Wu Zixu cooperated with Sun Wu to lead troops to attack the Chu capital, and Wu Zixu dug up the tomb of King Chuping and whipped 300 corpses to avenge his father and brother. King Wu relied on the strategy of Wu Zixu and others, broke through Chu in the west, defeated Xu, Lu, and Qi in the north, and became a hegemon of the princes. Although it was not recognized by the Zhou royal family, it was enough to shock King Zhou.

It is a great tragedy that such an achievement is not remembered by future generations. Perhaps in the past, when attacking Chu, it was a foregone conclusion to open the coffin and whip the corpse.

Wu Zixu had repeatedly advised Wu Wangfu to send Gou Jian to kill, but unfortunately Wu Wang did not listen. Wu Wangfu was anxious to enter the Central Plains and led a large army to attack Qi, but Wu Zixu once again advised Fucha not to attack Qi for the time being and destroy Yue first, but was refused. The king of Wu, who was confused for a while, actually listened to the slander of Dazai Boyao, saying that Wu Zixu conspired to rely on the Qi State to oppose Wu, and sent someone to send a sword to Wu Zixu and make him commit suicide. It is said that Wu Zixu said to the doorman before committing suicide: Please gouge out my eyes and place them above the east gate of Suzhou, and I will witness the destruction of the Wu Kingdom with my own eyes. Nine years after Wu Zixu's death, Wu was destroyed by Yue. ”

Speaking of this period of history, the people present couldn't help but sigh, Sun Qi, said: "Thinking about Wu Zixu is also a generation of famous ministers and generals, although his words are excessive, what he said is not false. If Wu Wangfu had been poor at that time and could have listened to his advice, perhaps Wu's hegemony would not have weakened, but would have gone to a higher level. ”

Ji Jianyong, a look of indignation gradually appeared on his face: "The words have come to this, then forgive me for talking too much." In the past, the king of Wu personally led a large army to attack Chu, and the king of Yue took advantage of the emptiness of the domestic army of Wu to raise troops to attack Wu. If Wu Wangfu had been able to destroy Yue ruthlessly in the future, there would not have been so many things that happened later. ”

Wei Ziheng shook his head and said with some disagreement: "Today is still the world of King Zhou, and the word war must be moral." The Jin and Wu alliances to contain the Chu State were originally a strategic matter between the princes, but Wu Xing's army attacked Chu and caused great disasters to the people of the Chu State, which was immoral from the perspective of benevolence and righteousness. In the past, the actions of King Yue and King Wu actually violated Zhou etiquette. But think about it carefully, in today's world, although he is still the king of Zhou, the benevolence and righteousness of the former Duke of Zhou have been lost, and this world is already the law of the jungle.

It's a pity that although Wu Wangfu has the ability to be a hegemon, he is invincible to the old scheming and deep calculation of the city's deep hook. ”

Wan Yanzhi, after hearing this, couldn't help but sigh a little: "Benevolence and righteousness, this is all for King Zhou." If he is benevolent and righteous, he can be the overlord of the king of Zhou, implement hegemony, and lead the princes. With my Duke of Qi Huan, Duke Xiang of Song, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Mu of Qin, King Zhuang of Chu, these five people are all hypocritical and righteous people, in the name of benevolence and righteousness, wantonly killing, what is the significance of the hegemony built with blood? Which country is not a dozen countries and a few countries?

My Wu State has achieved a hegemon with its strength, although it is biased towards the east, but it is still dedicated to the king of Zhou, and the king of Zhou has turned a blind eye to such actions. ”

Ji Jianyong shook his hand and said: "Don't talk about this, the era of King Zhou's benevolence and righteousness has passed, and the heroes are everywhere, and the killing continues." In this world, the strong are respected, the more Wu is destroyed, it is a foregone conclusion, the stronger it is, the weaker Wu is, it has been known to outsiders. Now, with your knowledge, what should you think is good? ”

Wei Ziheng and Sun Qi were suddenly a little speechless, no, they didn't know what to say, but in front of the lord of the Wu League, I was afraid that what they said would damage the face of the Wu League, Wu Meng, has already acted against the sky, although there is still a rebellious heart, but the rebellious thing may not be able to do so.

Wei Ziheng, saluted with both hands, and said respectfully: "The past is like dust and smoke, and the things that have been decided cannot be changed, and the juniors are willing to continue to listen to the heroic things of the former Wu League." ”

"Well, that's all for today, so I'll finish telling you." Ji Jianyong paused and continued: "After that, Mr. Sun Chi and all the heroic people made the Wu League strong again. At that time, it happened that Goujian, the king of Yue, was already very old and his consciousness was a little unclear, and the Yue Kingdom began to discuss the matter of the prince, and Wu Meng's aspect was temporarily shelved by them. This is the best time for the development of Wu League.

I would like to introduce the second leader of the Wu League this time, who is also a member of the Wu Wang's clan, but it has been separated by several generations and is a clan affiliation. Ji's surname, his name Tao, his name means Pentium, and his father's wish is to want him to make a difference in the future. In fact, Ji Tao did not live up to his father's expectations, he joined the army when he was a child, and when he became an adult, he was already a minister in the army.

After the destruction of Wu, he led all his former personal soldiers to join the Wu League, and with his position in the army, he ordered the soldiers from all over the Wu State to obey his orders.

After Wu Meng's tragic defeat, Ji Tao also knew that he was not well prepared, although he had the hearts of the people, he had no strength. Later, he was elected as the lord of the Wu League and cooperated with Mr. Sun Chi, together with several masters, to take advantage of the internal affairs of the Yue Kingdom to strengthen the Wu League again.

At that time, after the defeat of the Wu League, its reputation spread again among the former people of the Wu State. At its largest, there were more than tens of thousands of people in the Wu League, and the number of poor people it supported was even more numerous. At this time, everyone thought that the resumption of Wu could be completed!

Alas, unexpectedly, the disaster caused Xiao Wall, and the restoration of the country was a major event, which could not be done lightly. Ji Tao thought that this matter should be considered in the long run, and as a sergeant, he naturally understood some of the truths. It is completely unrealistic for a mere Wu League to confront the Yue Kingdom. Ji Tao thought that he should slowly move forward, first continue to expand the influence of the Wu League in the former territory of the Wu State, and at the same time establish more strongholds like the current mountain villa, and at the same time train people to infiltrate the major cities and gradually grasp the control of the cities. Thus echoing the internal and external resonance of the forcible seizure of domination.

The plan is actually very good, the forcible restoration of the country has never been recorded in the history books, and it is a blessing that such a thing made out of nothing can be guided and planned by someone like Ji Tao. But ......"

Speaking of this, Ji Jianyong sighed again, he looked up at the beam above his head, and seemed to have some regret whenever he recalled that time.

Wan Yanzhi is also already an old minister of the Wu League, although he has not done much for the Wu League before, but as a member of the Wu League, he has his own responsibility: "The leader of the alliance, this is the business of my alliance, I should face it head-on, and I should not have such a sigh when I talk to outsiders." The matter of Wu Meng is rumored in all parts of Wu State, and it should be fearless. ”

Ji Jianyong's delicate face gradually regained its former composure, and he looked at the two rising juniors in front of him seriously: "If it weren't for the two of you, who are Sun Chi's disciples, I wouldn't have told you about these things." ”

Sun Qi thanked him with both hands: "In the past, I never saw my father mention the matter of the Wu League, and today I thank the Lord of the Jian Yong League, as a citizen of the Wu Kingdom, I should have a responsibility." ”

"Okay, what a citizen of Wu, since that's the case, then I won't shy away from anything, and I'll tell you all about it." Ji Jianyong smiled a little happily.

Wei Ziheng also clasped his fists with both hands, got up, saluted respectfully, and said: "Although the junior is not a person from Wu State, he has lived in Wu Country for ten years, and this place is already my second hometown. Ziheng is here to pay the greatest respect to the heroic people who still exist in Wu League. ”

Ji Jianyong couldn't help but smile with relief when he saw the two people in front of him.
