Chapter 3 Wu Zixu

"What are you looking at, my lord?" The voice of the dagger woke up the confused husband, shook his head and said, "It's nothing. ”

"Since it's okay, let's go quickly, the spies just came to report, and the Vietnamese army seems to be coming this way." As soon as Tudag's voice fell, he saw that on the other side of the stream, a group of soldiers wearing Vietnamese armor walked towards this side, and they were shocked and hurriedly wanted to pull Fucha out of here, but they were still a step late, and were discovered by the Vietnamese army. There he is! ”

Hearing the word "Fucha", the already exhausted Vietnamese army suddenly became energetic, and rushed to this side with the cold and biting stream, as long as they could catch Fucha, they could force the Wu troops around the palace to retreat, and even let the Yue country turn defeat into victory in this war.

"Let's go!" Tu Dagger hurriedly pulled his husband to escape, he only brought more than 20 people, but this group of Vietnamese soldiers has more than 100 people, once surrounded, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Capture Fucha alive - is the only hope of the Yue country, these Yue soldiers are not willing to let go, they are all desperately chasing after them, and finally caught up with Fucha and others at the entrance of the village of Ramie.

One side wants to protect the husband, and the other side wants to arrest the husband, which is a battle to the death.

Fu Cha swung his knife hard and cut off the head of the Vietnamese soldier in front of him, and the warm and bloody blood splashed on his face, and he didn't even have the time to wipe it off, because there were still three Vietnamese soldiers around him.

"Hmm!" After killing another soldier, Fucha was slashed in the back by one of them, and he fell to his knees with a muffled grunt, barely holding his body steady with his knife.

"King!" Seeing that the husband was injured, Tu Dagger was in a hurry and wanted to go over, but he was helplessly entangled by the Vietnamese soldiers and it was difficult to get close, and the others were the same, taking care of themselves.

Looking at the Vietnamese soldiers approaching step by step, a burst of despair appeared in Fucha's heart, could it be ...... Is he really going to die here today?

At this time, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and following the prestige, the cavalry of the brigade rode horses and galloped, and the person who took the lead was Wu Zixu.

Needless to say, the Wu army reversed the situation at once, capturing or killing those Vietnamese soldiers, and none of them escaped.

Wu Zixu turned over and dismounted, came to the husband, and knelt on one knee, "The old minister is late to save the car, please punish the king." ”

"Father, please get up!" The husband hurriedly helped Wu Zixu up, and said apologetically: "It's a lonely carelessness, separated from the army, fortunately, my father came to the rescue in time, otherwise my life would be over." ”

Wu Zixu said with a serious face: "The king is the great cause of the rise and fall of the Wu Kingdom, and he must not be so careless and reckless in the future." ”

Fucha's face turned red when he said it, and he said in a low voice: "Remember the teachings of my father." ”

Wu Zixu was also careful, and specially brought the imperial doctor over, and after bandaging the wound for the husband and making sure that there was no major problem, they returned to the place where the Wu army was stationed.

After welcoming the husband into the king's tent, Wu Zixu admonished: "King, now the battle situation is favorable to us, according to the old minister's opinion, we should go straight to the palace and capture the king alive." ”

The husband bowed his head and said: "That's the truth, who does the prime minister think is good to send to lead the troops?" ”

Wu Zixu was about to answer, when a person walked in with a curtain, and said first: "The king, the minister is willing to lead the troops to cut the Yue!" ”

The person who came was an elegant and white middle-aged man, with a long beard under his chin, and a very bright armor, which was quite a bit of a Confucian general.

This person's name is Bo Yao, a general with the same name as Wu Zixu, and he is also the right-hand man of Fucha, and he is deeply relied on by the latter.

"Dazai is here." After motioning for Bo Yao to sit down, the husband said, "Dazai Guo is confident in conquering Yuedu?" ”

Bo Yao said confidently: "The king rest assured, the Yue Kingdom is already at the end of the strong crossbow, as long as we win the pursuit, within three days, we will be able to capture the Yue capital and capture the Yue King Goujian." ”

Fucha thought about it, and was about to agree, Wu Zixu suddenly said: "It's a good thing that Dazai has confidence, but he also has to do what he can, the hundred-legged insect is still dead and not stiff, not to mention the Yue country that has been right with us for decades." ”

Old Puff!

Bo Yao scolded secretly in his heart, and said with a smile: "What is the high opinion of Lord Xiangguo?" ”

He and Wu Zixu are both important ministers of the former king Lu on his deathbed, and they are all pivotal figures in the court, but the two have completely different temperaments and temperaments, and there are many disagreements with political opinions, so they have always looked down on each other.

Wu Zixu didn't look at him, and said straight to his husband: "This battle is related to the unification plan of our Wu country, and there is no room for mistakes, so the old minister suggested that the old minister and Lord Dazai each lead all the way to take Yuedu." ”

Bo Yao is naturally unwilling, he needs to capture the military exploits of Yuedu, only in this way can he be on an equal footing with Wu Zixu, and he will no longer have to be crushed by the latter everywhere.

But no matter what he said, Fucha finally adopted Wu Zixu's opinion and set off for the second watch tonight.

When Wu Zixu stepped out of the king's tent, it was already dusk, the sun was setting, the tired birds returned, and flocks crossed the brilliant and gorgeous sky.

No matter how the war spreads in the world, and how miserable the people are, the sky is like this, it is quiet and beautiful...... It's also ruthless.

Wu Zixu stopped, looked at the sunset spreading out in the sky, and said in a cool voice: "Dazai is bound to win this battle." ”

"Of course!" Bo Yao replied proudly, and then said with a smile: "Bo Yao will definitely not disappoint Lord Xiangguo." ”

Wu Zixu smiled slightly, "Then the old man will wait and see." With that, he brushed his sleeves away and did not look at Bo Yao again.

Wu Zixu knew that Bo Yao behind him must be very unconvinced at the moment, and even slandered himself in every way; But so what, it's just a clown who can't get on the stage, and he never pays attention to it.

When Wu Zixu returned to his tent, someone was waiting, it was his deputy general Gongsun Li, seeing Wu Zixu come in, Gongsun Li bowed respectfully, "I've seen Lord Xiangguo." ”

"Excuse me." Wu Zixu walked to the back of the case and sat down, and said in a cold voice: "How is the matter that asked you to inquire?" ”

"Back to the words of Lord Xiangguo, there is indeed a mysterious strategist beside King Goujian, named Zipi, who has been secretly assisting King Yue for many years. I heard that two years ago, in the battle with Li, those death row prisoners committed suicide with their swords was his strategy for King Yue. ”

"Zipi ......" Wu Zixu slowly read the name, and after a while, he smiled, "It seems that this is a pseudonym." ”

Gongsun Li said in surprise: "How can you see it." ”

"Zipi Zipi, Zipi Zipi, tell me, how can a strategist like this be named after a vulgar wine vessel?" Wu Zixu is very old and spicy, and he can see the problem at a glance.

Gongsun Li was stunned and said admiringly: "Lord Xiangguo is clever. ”

For Gongsun Li's compliment, Wu Zixu smiled indifferently, lowered his head and slowly stroked the white jade wrench on the thumb of his right hand, "He wants to disguise his identity with a pseudonym, but he doesn't know that this pseudonym just reveals his thoughts, it's not simple." ”

"I don't understand." Gongsun Li was puzzled, it was just a random pseudonym, and what thoughts could he reveal

"Ori Yizi skin, refers to the wine bag made of cowhide, when used to hold wine, when not in use can be folded and hidden, look vulgar, but it contains the meaning of being able to bend and stretch, all-encompassing, and even swallowing heaven and earth. Zipi ......" Wu Zixu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the essence of light loomed in the bottom of his eyes, "This person is really not simple. ”

Gongsun Li only said that he was worried that Zipi would ruin the battle against Vietnam, and immediately said: "Lord Xiangguo, rest assured, we have surrounded the capital of Yue and have the upper hand, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he will not think about turning defeat into victory." As he spoke, he arched his hand and said: "I am willing to lead the troops to attack the capital of Yue, and kill this fang for Lord Xiangguo to get rid of future troubles." ”

"Absolutely not!" Wu Zixu's answer was unexpected, and he said in surprise: "Why is this?" ”

"It is a stone of the mountain, and it can be used to attack jade. If my Wu Kingdom wants to destroy the countries and dominate the Central Plains, it is necessary to recruit talents from all over the world, and the first thing the old man wants to recruit is this Zipi. ”

Gongsun Li didn't agree with his words, and wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "But he is from the Yue Kingdom, how can he do his best to help my Wu Kingdom achieve great causes, even if he agrees on the surface, I am afraid that he will have a ghost in his heart." ”

Wu Zixu's eyes swept over his face, and he said lightly: "The old man was originally from the Chu State, could it be that the old man also has a ghost in his heart?" ”

Gongsun Li was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Xiangguo Gong is loyal to Wu and the king, and has repeatedly made immortal achievements, how can he be compared with you!" ”

Wu Zixu didn't say a word about his words, and only said: "The king has ordered that tonight's second watch attack Yuedu, the old man and Bo Yao each led a way, Bo Ya seems to be brave and strategic, but in fact, he is very happy, and he only knows how to talk on paper, so he has little hope all the way, and the first to attack the Yue Wang's palace must be the old man's way." ”

Gongsun Li said obediently: "Lord Xiangguo is overly superior, and he must make another miraculous achievement." ”

Wu Zixu looked at Gongsun Li without saying a word, and his two cold eyes were like sharp needles, falling straight on Gongsun Li's face, wanting to pierce his face.

Gongsun Li was uncomfortable by him, and he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only endure it secretly, and after a while, Wu Zixu finally looked away, and just when Gongsun Li was secretly relieved, Wu Zixu's voice sounded in his ears, "Gongsun." ”

Gongsun Li's expression was grim, and he hurriedly said, "I am here." ”

Wu Zixu said meaningfully: "The old man not only wants to see Gou Jian, but also Zipi, understand?" ”

Although Gongsun Li is narrow-minded, he is a smart man, and he knows that Wu Zixu is warning himself, so he immediately bows his head respectfully and agrees, "I understand that after the capture of Yuedu, I must strictly guard the Yue Palace, and I will not let anyone take a step, nor will I step into it privately." ”

"Okay." Wu Zixu was very satisfied with his answer, "You are brave, you are like a sword in every battle, invincible; In tonight's battle, you are the vanguard, and you will definitely attack the Yuedu, and there must be no mistake! ”

Gongsun Li solemnly agreed, "Accept the order from a humble position, and you will definitely live up to the expectations of Lord Xiangguo!" ”
