King Goujian of Yue was defeated and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to retreat to Huiji Mountain. The situation is very clear, under the siege of more than 100,000 troops of Wu State, no one can save the defeat, and Yue Guo is gone.

The memory of the original owner tells Fan Li that as a generation of kings, Gou Jian is arrogant by nature, and he can't stand the shame of failure, so he will definitely do something radical.

Sure enough, the king of Yue summoned 300 soldiers, first, to kill all the women in the palace, including the queen Yayu, second, to destroy all the treasures in the palace, third, to set fire to the palace, and fourth, he and his ministers together to accompany the soldiers to eat a big meal, have a good night's rest, and the next day to fight a decisive battle with the Wu army.

The so-called decisive battle is suicide! After killing some of the Wu soldiers, let the Wu soldiers kill themselves.

The more people are tough, regardless of life and death. Although this move could not save the defeat, it could cause great losses to the Wu army, and let the king of Wu gain nothing.

As soon as King Yue made such a fuss, history was about to be rewritten. But in fact, history will not be rewritten. It is his responsibility to stop King Yue from doing this.

Fan Li whispered his views and plans in Wen Chong's ear, Wen Chong nodded in agreement, and then connected with other colleagues.

The atmosphere was bleak and tragic. King Yue gave an order, three hundred soldiers carrying swords, ran into the palace maid group, Queen Yayu also put the sword on her neck, as long as King Yue gave an order, hundreds of palace maids will fall in a pool of blood.

The deathly silence, a needle falling on the ground, could be heard.

Fan Li knew that Gou Jian was a virtuous monarch, he loved his people, and he also loved these girls in the palace. It's just that he was born in troubled times, and he is powerless to protect these innocent lives, and he has to personally order them to be killed. Fan Li understood King Yue's pain at this time.

Gou Jian opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.

Finally, King Yue made up his final decision, slowly raised his right hand, and opened his mouth to shout the word: Kill!

"The King—"

With a shout, Fan Li hurried over, knelt down with a "poof", knocked the ground with his forehead, and made a "bang" sound.

Fan Li kowtowed his head and shouted: "The king is slow, the minister has something to say." ”

Gou Jian put down his hand and said, "Young uncle, it's time like this, what else do you have to say?" Save some strength and kill the enemy tomorrow. ”

Fan Li said: "King, please allow Fan Li to finish his words." ”

Xiangguo Wenzhong knelt down, and a group of civil and military ministers all knelt.

Wen Chong said: "The king, the minister also has something to say. ”

Gou Jian waved his hand, and those who were soldiers put down the sword resting on the palace maid's neck. Gou Jian sighed: "Everyone Aiqing, if you have something to say, just say it." But the widow is determined to die, please don't say anything like asking for peace and surrender. ”

Fan Li was also sad in his heart, King, what Fan Li wanted to say was exactly what you didn't like to hear. But the king of Yue is arrogant and willing to surrender?

But no matter what, he had to make King Yue change his mind, he knew very well in his heart that if he wanted not to be replaced by the next Fan Li, he had to persuade King Yue to surrender.

Fan Li prostrate on the ground and said: "The king, the minister Fan Li and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as the clans, the soldiers and people of the Yue country are not people who are afraid of death, for the king and the Yue country, everyone dares to go to the soup and do not frown."

"However, we will fight to the death with the king tomorrow, and there will be no one left, and you will not have the king, will there still be Yue Kingdom?"

Gou Jian said bitterly: "Where is there still Yue Guo? The widow is ashamed of the ancestors and the ancestors, and the widow will die! ”

Fan Li kowtowed and said: "King, after the Yue Kingdom is the King of Dayu, the ancestor King Dayu toured the world, returned to Dayue, and met the princes of the alliance and divided the world, what a glory." Emperor Shaokang's concubine was sealed in Dayue, and it has been passed down to the king for more than 20 generations. ”

"Now, the mausoleum of King Dayu is still there, the mausoleum of the ancestors is still there, the Yue country is destroyed, who else comes to worship every spring?"

When King Yue heard this, he couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes: "As soon as the Yue country is destroyed, the ancestral mausoleum must be unattended, and the incense of King Dayu has been interrupted from Gou Jian's hand, and the widow is ashamed." ”

Fan Li glanced at Wen Chong, Wen Chong kowtowed, and said, "The minister dares to ask the king, are you brave?" ”

Gou Jian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Although the widow is stupid, but he can fight rice for a meal, he can go up the mountain to fight tigers, go down to the sea to capture dragons, and take the enemy's head among the ten thousand horsemen." And in the face of life and death, you can also smile calmly. The widow thinks he is brave. ”

Fan Li said loudly, "King, fighting tigers and capturing dragons is just the courage of a horseman, and not being afraid of death is just a small bravery." The minister heard that dedicating himself to a great cause, knowing that he could not do it, this is great courage. ”

Gou Jian shook his head and said: "The widow's heart is very chaotic, please Ai Qingming said, how can the widow be brave when he does it?" ”

Wen Chong said: "It is too easy to fight with the Wu army and die heroically. It's just a little brave. ”

Gou Jian said: "Is there anything more difficult than death? ”

Fan Li thought to himself, it is better to persuade each other than to be excited, so he said: "Yes." ”

"What is harder than dying to die for one's country?"

Fan Li raised his head, looked at King Yue and said word by word: "Live, down, go!" ”

Gou Jian said: "The country of Yue will be destroyed, and the widow will survive in the world and suffer humiliation, it is better to have a vigorous battle and die a heroic death." ”

Fan Li shook his head and kowtowed: "King, you are wrong! If you live in the world just to survive. That's a coward's doing. The ministers persuaded the king to live, not to live, but to live for the revival of Dayue. But if we ask our husbands to surrender, even if we don't die, we will be humiliated, which is more difficult than dying in battle. Only by living in this way can it be considered bravery. ”

Gou Jian didn't answer, was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Young uncle, Ziyu, do you say that Yue Guo can still be revived?" ”

Fan Li knew that even a monarch like King Yue needed encouragement, so he said: "According to the king's will, tomorrow's decisive battle, my monarch and ministers will fight to the death on the battlefield, and the Yue Kingdom will be finished, and it will never be revived." If the king can survive strongly, we kings and ministers will work together for a great cause. Dayue will definitely be able to revive, and the incense of King Dayu will continue. ”

As if seeing a glimmer of hope, King Yue said: "How to live, young uncle taught me." ”

Fan Li saw that King Yue's heart was moved, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I heard that those who can bend under one person will be stretched out above ten thousand." Now, the army of Wu is besieging our monarch and ministers in Huiji Mountain, and the king of Wu has many generals, like wolves and tigers, and he can't fight hard to survive. If you want to survive in this situation, you must not only have great courage, but also great wisdom. ”

Gou Jian was puzzled and said: "What does Qing mean to bend his knees and seek peace, and be a minister?" ”

Fan Li spoke earnestly and said, "King, this is the only way to keep the lineage of the Yue Kingdom. ”

Gou Jian lowered his head and pondered for a long time, finally raised his head, and said in a low voice: "Young uncle, Zi Yu, although the method mentioned by Erqing is feasible, the widow is unbearable. Then he turned to the ministers: "What do you think?" ”

The ministers said together: "We also think that the words of the general and Xiangguo are reasonable. ”

Gou Jian sighed: "You all say so." ”

Doctor Ji Ni said: "What the general said is very right, we will die in battle with the king, and the Yue Kingdom will perish from then on, and it will never exist." If the king lives and retains the heart of recovering the country, there is still hope for the restoration of the country. Now to Wu State is a vassal of the country, a temporary humiliation, when he returns to the country one day, he can take revenge. Think again. ”

King Yue was silent again, and Fan Li knew that King Yue was still hesitating, so he knelt down and said, "I heard that those who can completely keep their merits will definitely follow the way of heaven and fill without overflowing; Those who can calm the crisis must follow humanity, advocate modesty and low profile, and those who can control the development of things will face reality and adapt measures to local conditions. Now the tide is pressing, and if he wants to return to his kingdom one day, the king must do the same. Please ask the king to immediately revise the table of surrender, prepare a generous gift, and send someone to send it to the king of Wu. Be humble and polite to King Wu and keep your voice down. If he doesn't agree, you will go and serve him in person, and pledge yourself to the state of Wu. The minister risked death to speak and offend the king, as long as the king survived, there was hope for the restoration of the country. Please kill Fan Li for peace of mind! ”

Fan Li said, tears flowed down, and he kept kowtowing, breaking his forehead.

Gou Jian stepped forward and pulled Fan Li up, and said very sadly: "Young uncle, get up, the widow knows that you are loyal." Then he said to everyone, "Rise up, for the widow is willing to be humiliated in order to restore the country!" ”

The ministers sang in unison: "The king is sage! ”

Fan Li felt that a stone in his heart finally landed, secretly sighed, pulled out his long sword and waved, cut a weeping willow with a thick arm into two sections, and said sharply: "What I discussed just now is my plan to restore the country, it is a top secret, if someone leaks it, it should be like this willow tree, and it will not be forgiven!" ”

King Yue raised his face to the sky and said: "Ancestors and ancestors, Gou Jian is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, in order to revive Dayue, he lives in humiliation regardless of the laughter of the people in the world. Please bless the ancestors. He turned his face and asked, "Who went to Wuying to offer a watch?" ”

Wen said: "The minister is willing to go." ”
