Ten days later, the palace of Gusu.

King Wu was organizing a regular court meeting, and the ministers of the court and the central government reported the recent government affairs one by one, and judging from the expression of King Wu, he was very dissatisfied with the current state of government affairs.

At this time, a military minister who was over the age of sixteen came forward to report.

"Your Majesty, the minister has military information to report, and it may not be optimistic about some things."

The old appearance of the Minister of War made King Wu very annoyed, and he waved his hand impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"Yes, this time the Vietnamese army raided and occupied the county seat of Changyi in our country, ten days ago, General Zhang led 30,000 elites to resist, and then launched an attack on Changyi County, up to now, General Zhang has launched four attacks, but with little effect, so far has not been able to capture Changyi."

"The widow knows." Displeased, King Wu nodded and motioned for the Minister of War to step down.

But the Minister of War stopped where he was, refusing to leave, as if he had something to say. King Wu was even more impatient, "What else do you have to do?" ”

The Minister of War saluted King Wu, coughed twice, and said, "The old minister thinks that the county seat of Changyi is just a small city, the city is not high, and the pool is not deep. However, it has not been able to be attacked until now, which is really unreasonable, and the minister thinks that General Zhang will be unable to escape the blame. He should be investigated for the crime of unfavorable handling of affairs and dereliction of duty. ”

As soon as the words fell, the rest of the ministers exchanged their heads and seconded the proposal.

"yes, yes. Why can't General Zhang even beat such a small city? ”

"There shouldn't be anything unsightly, I heard that General Yue Guo is General Zhang's brother."

"If it is true, then General Zhang is suspected of collaborating with the enemy!"

Bo Yao squinted his eyes and glanced at the other ministers, a sinister smile on his face.

Just when the court was in chaos, King Wu suddenly got up and waved his hand, and scolded: "Scatter the dynasty!" Scatter the dynasty! It's all gone! ”

"Long live the King!" The ministers saluted, and then scattered.

When the ministers were gone, Bo Yao returned to the court and saluted King Wu, who was sulking on the throne, and said, "Great King." ”

King Wu took a deep breath, shook his head and sighed: "These old things, one is more useless than the other!" ”

"The king is angry, the king is angry." Bo Yao hurriedly reassured.

"Hey, Dazai-sama, tell me, will General Zhang do what they say?"

Bo Yao frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "The minister thinks that General Zhang is still loyal, and he shouldn't do that kind of thing......

"Huh?" King Wu narrowed his eyes and looked at Bo Yao, "You have something to say." ”

Bo Yao's face was embarrassed, and he said: "The minister doesn't know whether to talk about it or not......"

"Hey, say!"

"Wow. There is a way that people are terrible, and everyone is golden, but if everyone says so, I'm afraid things won't be nothing. Bo Yao said, stepped forward, took out a piece of letterhead from his bosom and handed it to King Wu.

King Wu opened the letterhead and looked at it, and was immediately furious. He raised his arm suddenly, and was about to slap it a few cases, but stopped again. He tried to stabilize his emotions and asked, "This letterhead can't be a forgery, right?" ”

Bo Yao hurriedly saluted and said, "The minister also has such concerns, so he does not dare to hand it over to the king. ”

"How did you get this letter?"

"The minister has a protégé who is a lieutenant general in the army. Three days ago, he was on night patrol in the army and happened to catch a deserter. My protégé was going to be dealt with simply as a deserter, but he didn't want to, so he found the letter from the deserter. When the protégé opened the letterhead, he realized that the situation was serious, and he did not dare to make any movement, so he ordered someone to send the letterhead to me overnight. ”

When King Wu heard this, he was skeptical, so he opened the letterhead again, and read it carefully, only to see that it was written.

"Brother Ji Zheng personally enlightened."

"My brother knows my brother's mind, and I hope my brother can also inform King Yue of my thoughts. King Wu is mediocre, arrogant and lascivious, and the country is going to die without knowing it. In fact, the younger brother has always been wronged by the Wu State, and the attack on Changyi County is also a last resort, and the time is not yet ripe, otherwise the younger brother is willing to welcome the Vietnamese army into Gusu. ”

"I heard that King Yue is a rare gentleman. The younger brother has admired King Yue for a long time, and this time he surrendered, there was no hypocrisy, but the only concern was that the 30,000 Wu soldiers under his command could not give up resistance. ”

"Since my brother is willing to follow my plan, I will not disappoint him. After my brother relinquishes the county seat of Changyi, I will immediately lead the soldiers into it and order the soldiers to relax their vigilance. At that time, as long as you and my brothers cooperate with each other, they can take the opportunity to encircle Changyi County and force 30,000 Wu soldiers to give up resistance. At that time, I will immediately revolt and surrender to the country. ”

"I hope that my brother will act as soon as possible, and I only look forward to reuniting with my brother at Huiji and helping Mingjun together."

"Brother Zhang Xun respectfully."

King Wu clutched the letterhead tightly and asked, "Is your protégé credible?" ”

"Credible! My protégé is a native of Gusu, and the whole family is in Gusu City, so it is impossible for him to commit treason. However, Zhang Xun has only been in Wu for ten years, and he has no parents and relatives, no wives and concubines, and no heirs. If Zhang Xun defects here, King Yue will inevitably be entrusted with an important task, he is only in his early thirties, and he can set up another door! ”

"Whew......" King Wu gently patted his forehead and exhaled deeply.

"King, from this point of view, even if there is no evidence, you can't be unguarded against Zhang Xun."

"Hmm......" King Wu just nodded, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, "However, will the Yue people really give up such an important Changyi County?" Zhang Xun has already attacked Changyi County four times, and in order to hold Changyi County, the Yue people have also paid a great price. Now with a letter, will this Ji Zheng really give Changyi County to others? ”

"A city as small as Changyi County can't be beaten four times, maybe Zhang Xun is just making a show. The king, the minister thought that this was an opportunity to verify the facts. If Zhang Xun had nothing to do with Ji Zheng, then the Yue people would definitely not give up Changyi County. But if the Yue people really give up Changyi County, then there may really be a problem, and once there is a problem, it will be a big problem. ”

"Well, that makes sense...... Pay close attention to the movements of the Vietnamese army and report to the widow every half day. Plus, the matter is top secret! ”

"Whoa!"

Three days later, Zhang Xunzheng inspected the camp with He Yu, and he frowned, thinking about the current battle situation.

"It's been thirteen days, I really didn't expect such a small city to be so difficult to fight!"

He Yu nodded and said: "I ordered someone to investigate the deployment of the Vietnamese army, and they concentrated all the main forces in Changyi County, and they were determined to defend it strictly, so it must not be easy for us to recapture Changyi County." ”

"It seems that Ji Zheng guessed my intentions. He didn't dare to ignore Changyi County, he knew that once I captured Changyi County, I would be able to drive straight into the hinterland of the Yue Kingdom. ”

"Well, I'm afraid so."

At this time, a scout came in a hurry, turned over and dismounted, and reported: "Report to the general! There has been a major movement of the Vietnamese army! ”

"What transfer?"

"The army of the Yue Kingdom is evacuating outside the city!"

"What?! Evacuate!? Zhang Xun was shocked, and hurriedly looked at the wall of Changyi County, and sure enough, the guards on the city wall were retreating one by one, and after a while, the Yue flag fluttering on the city wall was also taken down.

"Why did the Vietnamese army withdraw from Changyi County? This...... Isn't this a suspicious tactic? He Yu was puzzled and asked, "Can you confirm the movement of the Vietnamese army?" ”

The scout replied with great certainty: "It can be confirmed that the Vietnamese army is evacuating Changyi County, and we have detected that the main force of the Vietnamese army has retreated to the rear, and now Changyi County is almost an empty city!" ”

He Yu paced back and forth, holding his chin and muttering to himself: "I don't understand, what is going on?" ”

Zhang Xun stared at each other, and after thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Gather a thousand death squads and prepare to attack Changyi County." ”

He Yu hurriedly said: "General! I'm afraid there will be fraud! ”

"Changyi County is extremely important, no matter whether there is a conspiracy behind it, we must control it in our hands!"

At the same time, Ji Zheng sat on his horse, looking at the county town of Changyi not far away, and behind him, the main force of the Vietnamese army was withdrawing in an orderly manner.

Qingmen stepped forward and reported: "General, our army has all withdrawn from Changyi County. ”

Ji Zheng nodded, and then rode his horse forward.

Qingmen caught up and asked, "General, I don't understand, we finally took Changyi County, and we defended it desperately for more than ten days. Why did you suddenly evacuate today and hand over Changyi to others? Didn't you say that Changyi County is very important? ”

Ji Zheng glanced at Qingmen, his expression was not angry and arrogant, and then he smiled lightly, his eyebrows were as cold as ice, "As long as Zhang Xun steps into Changyi County for half a step, he will die." ”

The next day, the palace of Gusu.

"Oh no! King! Big things are wrong! Bo Yao panicked and broke into the palace cabinet.

At this time, King Wu was enjoying the song and dance, and Bo Yao shouted like this, which made King Wu lose interest. King Wu waved his hand to stop singing and dancing, and impatiently pointed at Bo Yao and reprimanded: "How big can it be?" Fuss? ”

"King!" Bo Yao hurriedly saluted, then looked left and right, and did not dare to speak.

Seeing this, King Wu had no choice but to order the dancing girl and others to withdraw from the cabinet.

Only then did Bo Yao say with a frightened face: "King! That letter is true! The day before yesterday, the army of the Yue Kingdom withdrew from Changyi County for no reason! ”

King Wu suddenly panicked and asked, "Is the news true?!" ”

"It's true! Now Zhang Xun has ordered all the soldiers to be stationed in Changyi County! I'm afraid I'm about to surrender and rebel! King! The 30,000 army in Zhang Xun's hands is all our elite! Once he surrenders and rebels, the country is finished! ”

"This ...... How good is that? ”

Originally, King Wu still had a skeptical attitude towards Zhang Xun, but at this time, he was completely panicked and had no trust in Zhang Xun anymore.

"King! Without further ado, please recall Zhang Xun to Gusu immediately! ”

"Good, good, good. Quick, quick! Ordered Zhang Xun to return to Gusu immediately! ”

"Whoa!"
