……

In mid-June, standing on top of Wu City, looking at the Vietnamese army encamped outside the moat, the prince of Wu had a solemn face and muttered to himself: "I have said a long time ago, you can't rush to send troops, if you are defeated, then the Yue people will have no scruples, but no one listens to my words......

Gongzi Ji Za knew that he could not change the relationship between King Wu and his husband, so he put his energy on the prince's friend of the husband and taught him personally. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Influenced by Ji Za, the prince did not tattoo his hair like his grandfather and father, but combed his hair in the Central Plains style, wore clothes, and recited poems.

This way of life is incompatible with most people in Wu, but although Fucha is known as "I am a barbarian, and I am not responsible", in fact, he is bent on dominating the Central Plains, and he also wants the future of Wu to develop to the north and integrate into Zhuxia. So he also let his son go by as a whole. The only thing that the husband doesn't like is that the prince is kind and kind, doesn't like killing and war, and has no ambition to dominate the world and compete in the Central Plains, which is very different from his own personality.

What's more serious is that the prince's courtesy is something that the generals of Wu Guo cannot agree with, which also leads to the fact that when the husband went on an expedition, although he ordered the prince to supervise the country, he did not have much say in the court.

In late May, the Yue State suddenly declared a rebellion and began to send troops to counterattack various places and expel the officials of the Wu State.

In this regard, the capital of Wu had nothing to do, because the husband had taken away the main force of the Wu army, and the partial division was also placed in Huainan to defend the Chu people, and it would not be transferred back for a while. He only left less than 10,000 people in the country - all because of Fucha's contempt for Yue and his inexplicable trust. Now that the incident happened suddenly, and there was no old minister like Wu Zixu to preside over the overall situation, Wu Guo suddenly fell into chaos.

After recovering the homeland south of Zhejiang, Gou Jian immediately sent Fan Li and Chu Yong to lead 2,000 sailors and dozens of ships to enter the coast of Wu by sea, land from the east, and hit the mouth of the three rivers. The surplus and Yang marched by land, led the vanguard of 3,000 people, and took advantage of the emptiness of Wu to defeat several Wu divisions in a row, and their momentum was like a bamboo, and soon reached the outskirts of the capital of Wu......

Prince Friends and the Prince Left Behind, Wang Sun Miyong, Shou Yu Yao and others looked at the Yue people array in the outer moat of Wu City, Wang Sun Miyong saw the Yue people with the flag of contempt, and couldn't help but grit his teeth, his father was the prince of Wu State, and was ordered to camp in the west of the Yue country to monitor the Yue people, this time the Yue people suddenly rebelled and took his banner, thinking that he himself had been killed.

So Wang Sun Miyong decided to go to war, saying: "This is my father's banner, I can't see revenge and not kill!" ”

The prince hurriedly admonished him: "Wait! The king of the empty country to the north, the Yue people took advantage of the situation to rebel, and now the three rivers and five lakes are not owned by Wu, but as long as the city is held, Wu City is not lost, and the Yue people will not become the climate. Now Wang Sun wants to go to war, but he can't fight, the domestic soldiers are empty, and I am afraid that Wu will die! Please wait for Huainan reinforcements to arrive before it is too late to fight! ”

Wang Sun Miyong, who presided over the military affairs in the city, did not agree, because the prince was polite and polite, and he was dressed "not like Wu people", and the generals of Wu who advocated war always looked down on him, and even did not listen to his orders, and gathered the only 5,000 people left in the city to fight.

On June 10, the two armies of Wu and Yue fought on the outskirts of the city, but because there was no surplus and the number of troops in Ayang, they began to retreat after a while. The Wu people were overjoyed and chased all the way, but when they chased to the mouth of the three rivers, they encountered the main force of Goujian, the king of Yue, who was ambushed in the reeds, and it turned out to be a swindling defeat......

On the 11th, the two sides fought again in the place of Shixiongyi, although the five thousand Wu people fought hard for a long time, but they were pinched by the land and water army of the Yue country, the Yue people hated the enemy, and there was the newly promulgated "Twelfth Rank Lord" stimulus, the battle was extremely brave, after a day of fighting, the victory and defeat were finally divided. Wang Sun Miyong and Shou Yu Yao were captured, Wang Zidi was killed in battle, and the Wu army was annihilated!

On the twelfth, the victorious Vietnamese army approached the suburbs of Wu again, and the main force of Gou Jian's personal commander set up camp under the city and tried to attack the city, while Fan Li continued to command the naval army to go north from the sea and enter the river, blocking the connection between Wu and the northern expeditionary army, and also making the Huainan Wu army unable to go south smoothly. And they didn't dare to go south, and the Huainan Wu army soon discovered that the people of Chu had also launched an attack on Qunshu, and the commander was none other than Sun Sheng, the new upstart of Chu who was named "White Duke......

The urgent letter of the prince's friend was only sent to Huainan in a hurry before the Yue Guozhou Division blocked the river, and then traveled hundreds of miles, and finally reached the hands of Fucha......

……

Seeing Wu Zixu, being separated, and even the worries of his own son Prince Friend becoming a reality, the husband was as if he had been hit hard, and after drawing his sword and splitting the case, he said with annoyance: "I regret that I shouldn't listen to my son!" “

In the period after Wu Zixu was killed, no one in Wu dared to enter the Fu Cha, but the young prince friend reminded his father in another way.

He walked around under the platform of Gusu every day with a slingshot, and his clothes were wet with dew and did not stop. Finally, this strange behavior of the prince attracted the attention of the husband, and when the husband asked him what he was doing, the prince replied: "Father, please see, there is a cicada in the tree, drinking dew, and I don't know that there is a praying mantis behind it that wants to catch it, and the praying mantis is about to pounce, but I don't know that there is a yellow finch next to it!" The yellow finch stretched out its neck to peck at the mantis, but the boy had opened his slingshot under the tree and wanted to shoot it! All three only want to get the immediate benefits, but they don't care about the consequences! There is no fool in the world more than Si! ”

After hearing this, King Wu's face was uncertain, he knew that his son was comparing Qi to a cicada, Zhao to a praying mantis, Wu to a yellow bird, and Chu and Yue to a boy with a slingshot under a tree, and was changing his way to remind him to pay attention to the calamity and killing opportunities lurking behind him!

At that time, he only felt that this was Wu Zixu's "poison", flicked his sleeves, and said contemptuously: "The words of the son, military affairs, what do you know!?" ”

But now, the husband has found that he has become the "world's most foolish" who only looks at the present and ignores the future.

He laughed at himself: "The few people know the soldiers in the territory, exhaust the wealth of the treasury, and go north to the Central Plains for thousands of miles. I only know that I have crossed the border to conquer, but I don't know that Gou Jian selected the dead soldiers to go out of the three rivers, enter the five lakes, slaughter my Wu division, and besiege my capital! ”

After the husband finished speaking, he grabbed Bo Yao, who was lying on the ground and pleaded guilty, and reprimanded angrily: "Didn't you say that Gou Jian is loyal and will never rebel!" And now? ”

"It's you, it's you who framed Zixu and let the widow kill him, today the widow might as well kill you, the minister of the country!"

Bo Yao trembled and was speechless, the husband was so angry that he wanted to raise his sword to kill him to vent his anger, but Wang Sun Luo stopped the husband.

"The king shall not be! Killing Zixu is already a wrong thing, and killing Dazai today is the pillar of killing a country! ”

Wang Sun Luo knows very well that although Bo Yao is greedy and treacherous, but his ability to govern is not bad, after Wu Zixu's death, the government affairs of Wu are basically Bo Ya alone, his power is already very large, and he is intertwined in the government and the opposition. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that in this war, from Dajiang to Xudi, the grain transfer along the way was the responsibility of Bo Ya's cronies. If the husband killed him in order to vent his anger today, Na Boya's cronies might rebel or flee, and in that case, the rear of the Wu people would also be in chaos.

The husband also knew that it would be useless to kill Bo Ya now, so he stopped and kicked him in disgust to tell him to get out. He immediately paced in the hall and said to Wang Sun Luo: "After the army was defeated in Sishang, and the Yue people and Chu people attacked and harassed the Wu State, the national capital is in danger, and the prince is in a hurry, what should I do now?" ”

Wang Sun Luo suggested closely: "The top priority is to block the news, and the domestic affairs must not be known to the three armies, let alone Pengcheng Song Gong, Huang Jin, etc., otherwise the army's heart is unstable and there will be changes!" ”

The husband nodded slightly, and asked people to entertain the seven messengers of Wu who came to report the news, and when they were drunk, they were ruthless enough to kill them all!

Pity these Wu people who were in a hurry, but they were poisoned.

After doing this, Fu Cha's original intention of preparing the army to fight a decisive battle with Zhao Wuxian was gone, and the country was in a mess, if the army was lost here, Wu Guo would die even if he didn't want to. Wang Sun Luo took advantage of the hot iron and said: "Why don't you send an envoy to Zhao Ying to see if you can negotiate peace with Zhao Hou and turn the war into a jade silk?" ”
