Chapter 638: Self-Inflicted Suicide

Wang Sun Luo protected King Wu out of the palace. The common people knew that there was a war going on outside the city, so they hid in their homes and did not come out. The most active people on the streets are soldiers. In some places, fighting is still going on. In some places, there were too many Wu soldiers, and the Vietnamese army was afraid that they would make trouble, so they rushed up to encircle and annihilate them.

Wang Sun Luo is familiar with the terrain and knows which street is less crowded and secluded, and the Vietnamese army has just entered the city, and they are all active in the market. Wang Sun Luo and Wu Wang easily avoided the sight of the Vietnamese army.

The two of them took refuge in the city and quietly moved to the city gate, but fortunately they were not blocked by the Vietnamese army, and even more fortunately, the west gate was wide open and there was no Vietnamese army guarding it.

As soon as the two saw that there was no one at the gate of the city, they ran away, and ran out of Gusu City in a short time. The time was just right, at this time, the Vietnamese army was searching for King Wu all over the city, and their target was naturally some large places in the palace. Some of the city's main crossings, including the city gates, are not yet fully controlled. If it's a little later, you won't be able to run out of the city.

King Wu looked back and saw dozens of loyal soldiers running behind. I couldn't help sighing: "When I left the Northern Expedition of Gusu, the widow had 100,000 male soldiers, how majestic, I can't imagine that there are only a few dozen people left to follow the widow now." ”

Wang Sun Luo said: "King, at this time and that time, let's hurry up and run, we are not out of danger yet." ”

King Wu stopped talking, but hurried forward.

In this way, day and night, just running, the little dry food brought by the soldier was also eaten. That night, King Wu was so tired and hungry that he couldn't run while sitting on the side of the road.

On the side of the road is a rice field, and the rice has turned yellow and entered the maturity stage. Wang Sun Luo took a handful of grains, gave them to King Wu, and said, "Your Majesty, you can eat a little bit." ”

King Wu took it, put some in his mouth, and said, "Oops! What is this, poke your mouth, how to eat it? ”

Wang Sun Luo said: "Your Majesty, eat, you can stop hunger if you are full,"

That thing was really not delicious, but King Wu was very hungry, and he didn't care whether it was delicious or not, so he ate and chewed for a long time, and finally climbed down and drank a sip of water from the ditch before taking it down.

King Wu said, "What, it's so unpalatable." ”

Wang Sun Luo said: "It's raw rice. Freshly plucked from a rice plant. ”

King Wu was stunned for a moment and said, "When Gongsun Sheng interpreted the dream for the widow, he said that he ran away at night and ate raw food. Isn't that the answer to his words? Now we run away at night and eat this raw rice. Gongsun Shengyi was also a stranger, but unfortunately the widow didn't listen to him, but killed him. ”

Wang Sun Luo said: "Your Majesty, eat, eat and don't be hungry, let's hurry." ”

King Wu said, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Wang Sun Luo said: "Not far in front of you is a hill called Yangshan. The terrain is difficult and we can hide, and we may be able to avoid it. ”

King Wu said: "The demon dream I had before I set out on the expedition has been fulfilled. I'm afraid the widow is going to die here, so what are you hiding? ”

Wang Sun Luo said: "If you can't hide, forget it, if you can't hide, the king can still find a place to stay." ”

There was a husk on the outside of the raw rice, which was really unpalatable, and King Wu ate a mouthful of rice, drank a sip of water, and finally ate half full, and said, "The widow really can't eat it." Let's stop at Yangshan, and let him go if the result is. ”

So the group entered the Yangshan hills. King Wu said: "When he was about to kill Gongsun Sheng, he said that he should not bury his body, so he threw his body in Yangshan to warn future generations. I wonder if he really has a spirit? ”

Wang Sun Luo said: "Who knows this? Your Majesty tried to shout a few times. ”

Then the king of Wu ascended to the high place and shouted loudly: "Gong-Sun-Sheng-"

I only heard the answer in the valley: "Gong-Sun-Sheng-"

King Wu shouted, "I'm wrongβ€”"

The valley rumbled: "Wrongβ€”wrongβ€”"

King Wu shouted: "Please-forgive-forgive-"

The valley echoed: "Forgiveβ€”forgiveβ€”"

King Wu's sweat flowed down. I was very frightened in my heart, and said, "General Wang Sun, the widow is not leaving." The widow acts against heaven and should be punished. ”

Wang Sun Luo said: "The king can't do it here, he doesn't even have a sip of water to drink, not far from Yang Mountain, there is a place called Gansui, which is the location of the ancient Han country, and we go there to find a stutter." ”

The soldiers also came to persuade him, and then King Wu left, and walked for most of the night, and at dawn, he entered the dry sui. The walls here are dilapidated, but it's actually a larger town.

Wang Sun Luo went to get some food and water, and King Wu ate and drank a little, this was the first time he ate food in a few days.

Just as he was about to continue his escape, he suddenly felt the earth shake, and there seemed to be thunder rolling in the distance.

King Wu said: "Don't run, Gou Jian's army is chasing after you." ”

Wang Sun Luo said: "God, do you want to destroy Wu, not even a king who escaped?" ”

Sure enough, there was not much time, and thousands of people surrounded Gan Sui. Someone shouted, "Come out, husband, you can't run away." ”

The husband took a sword, cut off a piece of robe, wrote a few words, tied it to an arrow, and shot it. The Vietnamese soldiers picked it up and gave it to Fan Li and Wen Chong, and the two opened it to take a look, only to see that it was written: Li Chong two adults, I heard that the rabbit was caught, and the dog chasing the rabbit was useless, so it would be boiled and eaten. When the enemy country perishes, the advisors will die! Why doesn't the doctor let me have a chance to live, and also leave a way back for you?

Wen wrote a few sentences on a few lines, and then tied them to an arrow and shot them back. King Wu opened it and saw that it was written: The king committed six major transgressions, killing the loyal minister Wu Zixu, and one major transgression; killed Gongsun Sheng because of outspoken advice, and the second major was also; Dazai's traitorous ministers, but they have to be reused, and the three major mistakes are also; Qi and Lu are not guilty, and they have sent troops to attack many times, and the four major offenses are also; Wu Yue lived next to each other, and he didn't know how to repair it, but he repeatedly used swords and soldiers, and there were five major mistakes. Yue Guo killed the first king of Wu State, but did not know revenge, but indulged the enemy, leaving a disaster, and the six major faults. Is it possible that you have committed these six sins and still want to avoid destruction? Back then, God gave Baiyue to His Majesty, but His Majesty did not accept it, and now God has given Wu to Yue, can Yue Guo act against the will of Heaven?

When King Wu read the sixth article, he couldn't help but shed tears: "Back then, the widow didn't kill Gou Jian, forgot the revenge of killing his father, and was an unfilial son, this is God to punish his husband." Tears rained down as he spoke.

Wang Sun Luo said: "The minister will go and beg the king of Yue to let His Majesty go." ”

The king of Wu said: "You go and tell the king of Yue, Fucha does not plan to return to the country, please allow the state of Wu to be a vassal state of the Yue kingdom, and serve the king of Yue for generations." ”

Wang Sun Luo came to King Yue, knelt down and kowtowed, and told King Wu what he meant. Gou Jian said: "The widow remembered the love of King Wu who let me go, and he couldn't bear to kill him. What do you think? ”

Fan Li said: "The king is benevolent, touching heaven and earth, the country of Wu has been destroyed, it is not important to kill the king of Wu or not, the king can give the king of Wu a bite to eat, let him live all his life, it is also a good thing." ”

King Yue said: "Okay, General Wang Sun, go back and tell King Wu that 500 households will be assigned to him east of Gusu to provide for the elderly." ”

Wang Sun Luo returned to King Wu. King Wu said: "Abolish my country's body, destroy my temple, and support me with 500 households." My life is too cheap. King Yue, my husband is too old to serve you. ”

Wang Sun Luo knelt down and cried: "King, promise, the ministers will always serve you." ”

King Yue rode his horse forward, pointed at King Wu with a horsewhip and said, "Fucha, the widow has done his best to be kind to you, and if you still don't agree, go and die." ”

Fan Li shouted from afar: "Your Majesty King Wu, agree, just have something to eat." ”

King Wu sighed a few times, looked around, pulled up Wang Sun Luo, and cried and said: "General, let's go, I killed the loyal ministers Wu Zixu and Gongsun Sheng, so I can end up today." ”

After that, he pushed Wang Sun Luo away, pulled out his sword, and wiped his neck. Wang Sun Luo cried and hugged the body of King Wu. After crying for a while, he took off his robe to cover the body of King Wu, fastened his waist to the branch of a tree, and hanged himself.

King Yue sighed: "Magnificent Wang Sun Luo! ”
