Chapter 595: Bad News
Mr. Wu said he had brought bad news. Bo Ya also said that he brought bad news. King Wu's brows furrowed. said, "What's going on today, why are you bringing all the bad news?" Wu Xiangguo, you say it first, what kind of bad news is that? ”
Wu Zixu bowed down and said, "King, we have been deceived by King Yue Goujian all these years. ”
King Wu frowned: "What's wrong with King Yue?" ”
Wu Zixu said: "According to the agreement signed between Wu and Vietnam at the foot of Huiji Mountain, Yue is a subject state of Wu and is protected and supervised by Wu, and Yue is never allowed to form its own army. ”
Bo Yao said: "This is the old saying of 20 years ago, why is Xiangguo still saying this? ”
Wu Zixu said: "The problem is that King Yue has now violated the agreement. Without the king's approval, they formed an army of their own, and are now training intensively. ”
King Wu and Bo Yao were both taken aback. King Wu said, "Is this really the case? ”
Bo Yao said: "Did Xiangguo see it himself, or did he hear about it?" ”
Wu Zixu said: "I have always believed that Gou Jian would willingly submit to others and be willing to be a vassal of Wu. He will definitely secretly form an army and pose a threat to the state of Wu. So I sent spies to find out in Vietnam. I received a report from the scouts last night that Yue Guo had really formed its own army and was now training intensively. ”
Bo Yao looked at King Wu and said, "King, the minister remembers that the Yue Kingdom once applied for the formation of a team of 3,000 people to maintain order in the country. Sangkook's spies may have seen this team, right? ”
Wu Zixu said: "I made a special point of this and checked it with the scout, who said that the team was stationed in the jungle, and there were at least tens of thousands of people. ”
King Wu's face turned cold, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he said hatefully: "Gou Jian'er harbors evil intentions, and the widow will destroy you again."
Wu Zixu showed an excited look on his face, and said loudly: "King, the old minister is willing to lead the army and crusade against the crime of breaking the covenant!" ”
"Wait! War is not a trivial matter, how can you take the words of a spy and start a war rashly? The king gave the Yue country 800 li of land, plus the original territory, thousands of miles of land, don't you need an army to protect it? In the past, Wu stationed troops in the territory of the Yue State, and the security problem was borne by the Wu State. Later, the Wu army withdrew and was stationed on the Wu-Chu border. The country of Yue will have no strength to defend the country at all. At this time, isn't it normal for Vietnam to form an army to defend the country? ”
Wu Zixu said: "King, don't listen to Bo Ya's nonsense, Bo Ya is not well-intentioned. We must seize the fighter plane, annihilate the Vietnamese army in one fell swoop, and kill Gou Jian and Wen Chong, which is already in trouble! ”
He said, "King, if you find out that you have two hearts, you will execute him now." We are now analyzing the situation and making decisions, and Wu Zixu will give the minister a big hat of not being well-intentioned. Bo Yao didn't wear this hat, and returned it to Wu Zixu. The minister thought that Wu Zixu was not well-intentioned, and he did not take the king in his eyes at all. Whether or not you should send troops to attack Vietnam should also be the king's decision, not what you Wu Zixu wants to do. ”
King Wu said upsetly, "Don't make any noise. Dazai, tell me what you think about this. ”
Bo Yao said: "It has been 20 years since the surrender of Huiji Mountain. Wu Zixu has always said that Yue Guo is our biggest threat. However, in the exchanges between the two countries, we do not see any disrespect for Wu in the country. When building Gusutai, the Yue State almost used the strength of the whole country to help the Wu State. When digging the ditch, Yue Guo also sent tens of thousands of migrant workers to help us. When we were in difficulty, in addition to returning the borrowed grain, the Vietnamese country also took the initiative to give us 50,000 loads of grain. Because the tribute grain was robbed, Wen Chong sent a wisp sword worth ten cities. All this shows that the Yue State has no rebellious heart against the Wu State. How can we be sure that the Yue Kingdom suddenly has a rebellious heart? How can you be sure that Yue will definitely come to attack Wu? In case we make a mistake in judgment and destroy the Yue Kingdom again, and we have to destroy it again, don't the people of the world want to laugh off their big teeth? ”
Wu Zixu shouted: "King, don't listen to Bo Ya's nonsense......"
"Don't interrupt me," said Bo Ya, "I haven't finished yet." ”
King Wu looked at Wu Zixu in disgust and said, "Dazai, you go on." ”
Bo Yao said: "It is compared to the Yue State that has formed an army, and it is compared to the Yue State that wants to be unfavorable to the Wu State and wants to attack the Wu State, as long as his army moves, we will meet him and beat him." And now the news I brought is more urgent than the news of Yue Guo. ”
King Wu said, "Tell me quickly, what other news do you have?" ”
Bo Yao said: "According to reliable information, the State of Qi has dispatched 100,000 troops, with Guoshu as the main commander and Gao Xianping Zonglou as the deputy commander, has left Linzi, and is now stationed in Wenshang, to the west can attack Lu, to the south can attack Wu. The minister thought that no matter whether Qi attacked Lu in the west or Wu in the south, we could not sit idly by. ”
King Wu was shocked again: "Is this news reliable?" ”
"Absolutely reliable. ”
Wu Zixu actually knew about this, but his heart was completely on Yue Guo, so he didn't mention the matter of Qi Guo. At this time, when he heard Bo Yao mention it, he said: "Qi State's attack on Lu State is none of our business, we can completely ignore it." ”
"Wrong!" Bo Yao immediately retorted: "The Lu State is so weak, how can it be the opponent of the Qi State?" At this time, Qi captured the treasures of Lu, seized a large amount of grain and grass, and then reorganized the captured Lu army to expand its own army, then, the Qi army has more soldiers than us. The grain and grass are more than ours, how can we fight with the Qi country? ”
King Wu nodded and said, "That makes sense." ”
Wu Zixu was anxious, "Puff Tong" knelt down, kowtowed and said, "King, don't listen to Bo Yao's bewitchment." The existence of Yue Guo is a big trouble for our henchmen! As for the Qi country, it is just a small problem like scabies, and now we are mobilizing the people, transporting grain and grass, and traveling thousands of miles to treat small problems like scabies. And ignoring the big trouble of the henchmen, I am afraid that if the country of Qi did not have a result, the country of Yue would come to the door. The kingdom of Wu is about to perish at the hands of the king. ”
King Wu said coldly: "Wu Zixu, you said that the widow is a king of a dead country? ”
Wu Zixu said with tears in his eyes: "The situation is critical, we must not ignore it, and we must not make mistakes again!" ”
"Get out!" King Wu suddenly shouted with all his might, "Get out-"
Wu Zixu was stunned for a moment, and immediately woke up, saying that King Wu was the king of the dead country, which had seriously touched the bottom line of a country's monarch. Hurriedly explained, "The king ......"
King Wu pulled out his sword with a "click", pointed at Wu Zixu and roared: "Get out, I don't want to see you!" "I was panting in anger.
Bo Yao hurriedly stepped forward, helped King Wu and said, "The king is angry. He glanced at Wu Zixu and waved his hand. Wu Zixu sighed, got up, bowed his head and withdrew.
