PS: The second chapter is before 12 o'clock, this time it's true (serious face), ask for recommendation votes!

"Wu Zi, please sit down, the Qi State and the Jin State rebel Zhao clan are in a fierce war, so the widow can only come to Dong'a to supervise the war, and he has not been able to receive him on the platform of Linzi Road, so he can only meet guests in this shabby hall, and I hope to forgive me."

Wu Zixu arched his hand and said: "How dare you, it is a great honor for Qi Jun to meet the contemptible people of the southern kingdom of the foreign ministers." There was a faint Chu Di accent in his elegant voice—although he was notoriously hated the country and longed for it to perish, he could never wash away the fact that it was his parents' country.

Sitting in the hall, Qi Hou was able to observe Wu Zixu more closely, only to see that he was not handsome in appearance, and even had a little evil face, with pale hair, his eyes were very cold, and he rarely smiled, and his gestures were very solemn.

Qi Hou didn't dare to judge people by their appearance, because he knew very well that the Wu Guoda pedestrian who was sitting under him was a legend in the first half of his life!

This Wu Zixu is a famous member, the word Zixu, was originally the son of Wu Hao, the prince of Chu State, who was framed and imprisoned by the king of Chuping and the traitor Fei Wuji because of the maintenance of the prince. The king of Chu wanted to use Wu Hao's life to lure Wu Zixu and his brother Wu Shang into Ying, but Wu Zixu saw through Fei Wuji's poisonous plan and wanted to kill them all, so he resolutely fled from Chu, and his father and brother were killed together with dozens of Wu's family.

Since then, Wu Zixu has formed a deep hatred with the Chu royal family, and embarked on a bloody road of "revenge to repay his father's filial piety".

His initial journey between the Song and Zheng kingdoms was not smooth, especially after the sovereign prince Jian was killed by Zheng Dinggong and Uncle Zi. Wu Zixu could only flee from Zheng Guo with the infant son Gongsun Sheng of the crown prince Jianna, and wanted to go to Wu through Chen - only Wu dared to oppose the Chu people.

The rest of the story is well known. In Chen Guozhaoguan, Wu Zixu turned white overnight. Only then did he pass the test and successfully escaped to the state of Wu.

When he led Gongsun Sheng to the land of Wu, he turned around and stared at the gloomy sky of his homeland with his blood-red eyes, and the wind blew the strands of white hair on his head, as if to see him off. At this time, the thought of revenge and filial piety has completely occupied his entire thinking, and then he took a big step and disappeared, ten years later. also responded to the prophecy of his father Wu Hao: If the members are here, how difficult it will be for the Chu State!

In the state of Wu, after a period of ploughing in the fields, Wu Zixu began to meet with Gongzi Guangjun's ministers, Wu Zixu was willing to help Gongzi Guang get the throne, and Gongzi Guang's promise was to avenge the soldiers! In doing so, he won his allegiance.

After the night of the comet dedicated to the assassin king, stepping on the corpse of Wu Wangyi, Wu Zixu assisted Gongziguang. That is, Wu Wang Lu has embarked on a road of hegemony!

Wu Wang Lu admired Wu Zixu very much, and as a teacher, he also announced in Wu that no matter men, women, old and young, who would not obey Wu Zixu's teachings. Even if you don't obey King Wu, you are guilty of a capital crime, and you will never be forgiven!

Wu Zixu became the first adviser of Wu from then on. He didn't disappoint King Wu either. He first presided over the construction of Gusu City, and then repaired the legal system. Be virtuous and virtuous, and choose a trainer. Xi fights. Whether it is city building, diplomacy, military training, strategy, governing the people, or managing money, he knows everything! It's a jack of all trades! He also recommended the soldier Sun Wu, as well as Bo Yao, who also fled from the Chu State.

After exhausting the Chu State through the "guerrilla warfare" in which the enemy came and I went, and the enemy advanced and retreated, Wu Zixu led the Wu army to test the new Wu army and destroy the Xu State, and then cooperated with Sun Wu sincerely to lead the Wu army to break Chu and enter the Ying in five battles!

It's a pity that he was still a step late, King Chuping had died, and Wu Zixu, who learned the news, was secretly weeping because he couldn't get revenge. Entering the family's hometown, his anger could no longer be suppressed in his heart, he not only indulged the Wu army to rape and plunder, but also sent people to dig up the grave of King Chuping, dug open the tomb of King Chuping, and whipped three hundred corpses against rotting dry bones!

This move can be described as shocking, Wu Zixu's old friend Shen Baoxu was so angry that he scolded him, "The retribution of the son, what is it?" "After all, he is your former monarch, and it is probably against heaven to do such an excessive thing, right?

Wu Zixu's answer was very frank: "Call him mediocre, let him listen to the words of traitorous ministers, let him be obsessed, and ask him to kill my Wu family!" So this wilderness of violent corpses, the end of the country and the destruction of the family, deserve it! Revenge is my heart's wish, even if I do the opposite, and I will be damned! If not, wouldn't my Wu Zixu be as good as an ant? ”

This remark was free and relieved, shocking the world, except for the Chu people and some courteous gentlemen in the Central Plains, the people of the world understood Wu Zixu's move.

Because death does not avenge the father's revenge, it is brave! Because the minister does not please the thief, the son does not take revenge, and the son is not the son of man!

Wu Zixu was able to get the help of Wu to take revenge as a fugitive, and finally overturned the five thousand times of Chu, although the grave digging and whipping the corpse was excessive, but after all, the king of Chuping, the wife of the faint king, killed Zhongliang, and expelled his descendants, except for the people of Chu, no one held grievances for him. Therefore, in the Spring and Autumn Period, when he liked happiness and revenge, Wu Zixu was not only not spurned as an unloyal minister like later generations, but was praised to the forefront!

The people of Wu respected him even more, and the people of Jin wanted to condemn him on the surface, but secretly gave a thumbs up to this move, and Bao Mu and other ministers of Qi also wanted to travel with him......

With Bao Mu's understanding of this old friend, when he is proud of his life and happy about enmity, throughout Wu Zixu's life, the two most proud things are to assist King Wu and Lu to dominate the south, and the other is to repay the family hatred of Poying.

So even if he talked about the whipping of the corpse in front of the Marquis of Qi, Wu Zixu was not only angry, but raised his head proudly, his head under his pale hair was clear and firm-willed, but it contained the anger of being a courtier, and the king could not be humiliated with arrogance, that restrained pride and conceit were true celebrities and self-stylers!

It just so happened that the Marquis of Qi didn't have a good impression of the State of Chu, and he had never been in contact with King Chu Ping, but the face of King Chu Ling, he had seen enough when he sent Yan Ying to envoy to the State of Chu!

"It's like a monkey wearing a human crown and pretending on a king's couch." Fortunately, Yan Zi did not fail in his mission, and when he came back, he described King Chu Ling's posture in his usual bitter tone, which made Qi Hou laugh, thinking that his younger brother King Chu Ping could do something to rob his son's bride, and it was not much better.

Although he was also a king, he also felt a trace of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, but he still maintained his respect for Wu Zixu, and praised him for "abandoning small righteousness, snow and shame, it was the work of the eldest husband", and then asked about the purpose of Wu Zixu's coming to Qi State.

Wu Zixu's face darkened, and he lowered his head and said: "Wu has just suffered misfortune, the first monarch died, because Qi and Wu are in-laws, the new monarch sent foreign ministers to tell the Marquis of Qi to mourn ......"

……

"Funeral?"

Qi Hou and Bao Mu glanced at each other, and they both felt that this matter was a little strange. Although it is not uncommon for the nations to go to foreign countries to mourn after the death of their kings in this era, Wu State, as a barbarian military power, rarely observed this ritual system in the past, and even preferred to take advantage of the funeral.

On the other hand, more than ten years ago, although the Marquis of Qi asked Bao Mu to send his daughter to Wu to marry the prince of Wu Wanglu, the bride surnamed Jiang couldn't stand the hot climate in the south and the rice and fish soup, and died of homesickness, and by the way, he took the affectionate prince of Wu with him. In addition, the northward advance of the Wu State and the Qi State had a dispute over the sphere of influence in the Lu, Tan, Ju, and Di areas, and the marriage between Qi and Wu ended from then on, and the En broke off. Except for the personal relationship between Bao Mu and Wu Zixu, there is not much contact.

But now he suddenly asked Wu Zixu to come to mourn, and the meaning is much more connotative, and the reason for it, Qi Hou can roughly guess it.

Qi He immediately restrained his smile and expressed his condolences, he has been a monarch for decades, and his acting skills are not bad, and when he talks about the depths of his love, he can't help but cry. sighed that King Wu should not have died so early, and said that when the war here is over, he will definitely send someone to help Wu attack Yue and avenge his in-laws!

"The good intentions of the Marquis of Qi, after the foreign ministers return to the country, they must convey them to the widow one by one......"

Speaking of this, Wu Zixu paused slightly: "This war between the Qi State and the Zhao family, Bao Zi once talked to me roughly, and the foreign minister also heard that the Marquis of Qi is hesitating for the Qi army's strategy?" ”

Qi Hou glared at Bao Mu fiercely, meaning that this military matter is important, how can you casually tell an outsider, what should I do if I leak the secret!

Bao Mu didn't understand what he meant, and said in a sloppy manner: "Your Majesty, the servants have a twenty-year friendship with Zixu, and they know his personality and ability. Since the king can't decide, it's better to consult him. ”

Qi Hou was so angry in his heart, this Bao Mu is good at everything, but he really lacks a tendon in his brain, he likes to make friends, but he treats the affairs between the court and the state as a personal friendship, as a secretary, how can he be so unstable! is not as good as his father Bao Guoyuan, and not as good as Chen Qi and Chen Hengyuan, who can please Qi Hou.

Speaking of this, Qi Hou could only squeeze out a smile and consult Wu Zixu about the war.

"Qi Jun is hesitating whether to stay with troops and continue to attack Lu, or turn around to save the guards?"

Wu Zixu stroked his beard and said lightly: "If I am Qi Jun, I will naturally choose the former, since the west gate of Lu has been broken, it is better to continue to go deeper, and not give up all my efforts." "Defensible ......"

"There is a trap on the Wei Guo side, a trap laid by the Zhao family, waiting for the Qi Jun army to jump." Wu Zixu was categorical, as if he had already gone to Sangjian Pushang and came back.

"Why?" Qi Hou was taken aback.

Wu Zixu said: "I heard that at the beginning of the year, Zhao Wuxian used means to support Zheng Guo, and dared to ask Qi Jun why this is?" ”

"In order to let Zheng Guo turn around and go to the Barbarian Clan, the Zhao Clan should take the opportunity to attack Wei Guo?"

"That's right, but on the other hand, Zhao's move also reduced the pressure on the Zheng and Song borders, and the Song Kingdom was originally short of grain, but this spring it was free to do a good job of spring ploughing. Now that the farming has passed, but the Song army has not entered the Lu State in large numbers to assist in the defense, nor has it appeared in the defense of the country, dare to ask Qi Jun, where did they go? ”

"Could it be ......" Wu Zixu could see the clues from afar, and Qi Hou and Bao Mu seemed to understand a little.

Wu Zixu conceitedly said: "If it is not as I expected, the Zhao army openly attacked the emperor's hill, and the Song army is ambushing somewhere not far from the emperor's hill, just waiting for the Qi Hou army to defend the country and relieve the siege, and the Lu people will be outflanked from behind.
