Chapter 995: Uncle and Nephew
As the night deepened, holding the letter in his hand tightly, Wang Sunsheng walked out of the humble city tower and looked at the Chu army camp outside the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Today, Chu is 4,000 miles, holding 200,000 halberds, and the widow only shuai Zuo Guang, Wan, and Ye Zhishi to Yiluo, and a stone can bury Lu Hun ...... small city, with the strength of Chu, and the of your guard."
His uncle King Chu was not exaggerating in his letter, Lu Hun City was actually not high enough to be able to see all the mountains at a glance, only because the front of the mountain pass was surrounded by flat and empty fields, Wang Sun Sheng could look at the distant horizon with his eyes. But no matter where you look, only the fireworks can be seen. The campfire is like a falling star, covering the four fields and combining into an endless sea of stars
Wang Sunsheng's men initially tried to count how many campfires there were in order to judge the number of Chu troops, but after counting them for a while, they realized that even if they could count the rising sun, they couldn't count them all......
And what about the firelight in Luhun City? In comparison, it was just a faint glow on the tail of a firefly.
How can the stars compete with the sun? The king of Chu persuaded him in this way, he said in the letter that the affairs of the previous generation had passed, and Wang Sunsheng, as the grandson of the king of Chu, wished to melt his bloodline, and should no longer be exiled and the enemy of the mother country, it was better to return to the king of Chu with Lu Hun City and return to his homeland with him. The king of Chu promised that he would treat him equally and treat him as his own son......
"Son? Father? Wang Sunsheng couldn't help but hold the letters, for his father who had been dead for many years, Wang Sunsheng's memory was vague, because he was still in infancy at that time, but Wu Zixu had heard a lot of descriptions of this past, and Wang Sunsheng sometimes pieced together the past in his mind:
Because of his unwillingness and ambition, his father colluded with the Jin State to plot against Zheng Guo, and was broken through the city by the Zheng army and secretly executed, and his mother was also killed here, and Xiang Xiaoyu died.
The soldiers hugged him tightly and fled Zheng Guo under the bright moon, trekking step by step through the wilderness, his feet worn by stones, and his clothes torn by thorns. Behind him is the arrows of the Chu State chasing, and in front of him is the unknown darkness. Although Wang Sunsheng had nothing to do, he also felt the initial fear on this escape road, because there was no breast milk, he had no strength to cry, so he could only huddle tightly in Wu Zixu's arms, trembling all over.
Under the Zhao Pass, the young man's black hair turned to snow overnight, and Wang Sunsheng also relied on the blood drops on his fingertips and the fish soup that he had managed to get to survive, and when they arrived in Wu, both adults and children were haggard.
It can be said that Wu Zixu is like his nurse, and after he settled in Wu, he played the role of "father".
When carried away by hatred, Wu Zixu will roar loudly and cry bitterly, and when studying conspiracies, he will be careless of people's lives. He became so fierce that even the people of Wu were afraid of him, but he always treated Wang Sunsheng kindly, calling him "Young Lord", and sometimes more affectionately "Sheng", his hands were as soft as leather when they touched the top of his head. He regarded Wang Sun Sheng as his own, personally taught him to read and write, asked Sun Wu to teach him the art of war and swordsmanship, and at the same time instilled hatred in him......
Hatred is the nourishment for their lives, and it is the premise that prompts them to act, and later Wu Zixu helped Wu Guo break Chu, burn Yingdu, and whip the body of King Chuping, which can be regarded as revenge. But Wu Zixu didn't bring Wang Sunsheng with him in the year of the weak crown, and he ignored Wang Sunsheng's request and left him alone in Wu State.
Even Wu Zixu, who was carried away by revenge, would reject the idea of making Wang Sunsheng an enemy of the Chu State. Unlike Wu Zixu, he is surnamed Xiong, and he is the direct grandson of the King of Chu, which dooms him to not participate in the war to destroy the Chu State, otherwise it will be difficult to see his ancestors even if he dies.
It was the first time that Wang Sunsheng had been left alone, and he angrily swung his long sword at the trunk of the tree behind the courtyard, cutting the leaves all over the courtyard, he didn't want to do anything to the Chu family, he just wanted to go back to the Chu land that haunted his dreams.
Later, when Wu Zixu returned with honor, Wang Sunsheng did not congratulate him, and the revenge of the Wu family was avenged, and Wu Zixu was able to assist Wu State to dominate with peace of mind. But Wang Sunsheng couldn't, his identity determined that he had no place in Wu State, and he could only anesthetize himself with his "hatred" for Zheng Guo.
Therefore, after joining the Zhao clan, Wang Sunsheng was always the most active every time he crusaded against Zheng Guo, but it was a pity that he did not take him with him when he slaughtered Zheng Guo's five thousand prisoners, but left him here and left him to the army of Chu......
He was left behind again, and a sense of abandoned anger permeated his heart again.
Now, Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, who is known for his tolerance, is here, he is Wang Sunsheng's own uncle, on the one hand, he shows force, besieges Lu Hun, and on the other hand, he puts down the arrogance of being a king and extends his hand to him.
As early as the time of Wu, Wang Sunsheng had heard of the generosity of the king of Chu.
At the beginning, the king of Chu temporarily lived in Yundi on the way to escape. In the middle of the night, the doctor of Yundi Dou hated the revenge of the Chu royal family to destroy the Dou clan, so he sharpened his knife Huo Huo, and wanted to kill the king of Chu, but fortunately he was stopped by his eldest brother Dou Xin, so he gave up.
Such a person, even if he later made some contributions, it was not enough to offset his sins, but after the restoration of the country, the king of Chu decided to treat everyone equally and reward Dou Huai. Yin Zixi objected, saying, "Please give up." The king of Chu didn't care about Dou Huai's attempt to kill the king, saying that "great virtue destroys small grievances", and he still appreciated it.
What's even more excessive is Lan Yinjiao, who is the person hated by the King of Chu the most. At the Chengjiu Ferry, Lan Yin ignored the King of Chu, who was eager to cross, and drove away with his family by boat. However, after the rebuilding of the state of Chu, the king of Chu also spared this person who made him gnash his teeth and did not want his life.
These actions may be emulating the Duke of Wen of Jin, who let go of the Li Su who had chased and killed him, so that the doctors of the Jin State can relax their hearts, knowing that the Duke of Wen will not retaliate against them because of old grudges, and the King of Chu also wants to change the harsh government of the King of Chu Ping and the Nangwa era and establish a new Chu State, but at least it can be seen that the King of Chu has enough heart to forgive those who have seriously hurt him, not to mention the crown prince Jianzi who was "taken" the throne by him?
"The son is the grandson of the king of Chu, Zhu Rong blood, the widow will regard you as his own, seal it with the people of the land, and use it with the official lord Zhuyu......" He promised so, with Wang Sun Sheng's hearsay understanding of the king of Chu, this should not be just talk.
In fact, this is a good opportunity to return to the state of Chu.
The hometown of the haunting dreams, the mighty Yunmengze, the towering Zhanghuatai, the blue Jingshan, and the Yiling of the Chu kings of the past dynasties......
But......
There was no sound of footsteps, and the people behind him unconsciously approached within five steps of him, and it was not until Wang Sunsheng turned back that he was surprised by his existence, and he didn't know how long he had been standing.
The bare hand between the eyebrows of a strong suit rested on the sword and looked at Wang Sunsheng coldly.
"Invited by the King of Chu, do you want to go?"
……
Between his eyebrows, he looked at Wang Sun Sheng, trying to figure out his intentions through the change in his complexion, and then decided whether to stab him in the chest with a sword.
Since the Tongji Palace changed and killed the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Wuxian sent him to the front line to serve in order to keep Meijian Chi away from the center of the whirlpool, and learn some battlefield experience so that he could be of great use in the future, but no one expected that Meijian Chi took the initiative to request to come to Lu Hun as a deputy general.
During the pre-war temple calculation of the Zhao clan, Sun Wu prophesied that with the temperament of the king of Chu, it was very likely that he would send troops to aid the Qin state. Maybe it's fate in the dark, the eyebrows between the eyebrows also feel that the Chu State will not be at peace, and when he comes to Lu Hun, he may have a chance to avenge his father......
Wang Sunsheng was lukewarm to this young man who had an enmity with the Chu State, and he also knew that the red name between his eyebrows was his subordinate, but in fact he was also the prison army that monitored him. Although Wang Sunsheng has the command of the people of this division, once he does not obey, his power will be deprived at any time by the eyebrows between the eyebrows who secretly hide Zhao Wuxian's tiger talisman, and he can't even save his life.
Although this eyebrow red has no talent to lead the troops, his swordsmanship is not false, and even Wang Sunsheng is not sure to defeat him, not to mention that there are two black-clothed people behind him, which can also make Wang Sunsheng die on the city wall.
"Is that the kind of person who wins?" Whether he wanted it or not, Wang Sunsheng tore up the letter and sprinkled it under the city in front of the eyebrows, and the killing intent of the eyebrows and the two black-clothed people was only a little more restrained.
"But the King of Chu is my uncle, although Sheng works for the Zhao family, he must not be rude, can you let me reply a letter?"
For this request, Meijian Chi and the others had no reason to refuse, but they still found pen and ink and stared at Wang Sunsheng's every move.
With the bamboo pen in hand, Wang Sunsheng glanced at the campfire outside the city for several miles, showed a helpless smile, and began to dip the ink into the pen......
"Uncle is on top, nephew Sheng is afraid to say goodbye again, the king is here in person, the kid can't go a hundred miles away to greet him, and the big crime is ......"
"However, people say that the father's hatred, the Buddha and the heavens, the boy's hatred, Zheng Ye, now the uncle is in Jin to save Qin and Zheng, if the boy forgets his father's hatred and lives in the same room with the Zheng people, it is unfilial!"
Literally humble and respectful, but in fact, when the king of Chu swore that he would regard him as a son, Wang Sunsheng just wanted to laugh.
He had fathers and two, the former Prince Jian left him a hatred that must be repaid; And the other Wu Zixu continued to strengthen it, so that hatred filled Wang Sunsheng's heart, if this revenge is not avenged, he will have no reason to stand in the world, even if he has a place to live, his heart will not be stable.
Wang Sunsheng glanced at the red eyebrows, this son has also been instilled with hatred by his mother since he was a child, although the culprit Nangwa is dead, but as long as Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu who sat back and watched this incident at that time, is still alive, their hatred will not end.
He continued: "There is also a saying in the Jin Kingdom, the matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, the boy is the minister of the Zhao family, and it is disloyal to abandon the army and surrender to the city. Uncle has a call, the boy should follow it, but disloyalty and unfilial piety should not be done......"
……
"The army is attacking the city, the kid has to use the spear and Chu as the enemy, if the city is broken and killed, the uncle can be the head of the boy, if Lu Hun is intact, the kid is spared, after avenging his father, he should lead the neck into Chu, and the uncle can kill the kid in the Zongmiao......"
In the early morning of the next day, in the Chu army camp outside Luhun City, Gongzi Qi recited Wang Sunsheng's reverberation belief and looked up to observe the expression of the King of Chu.
There is no anger at rejection, only a touch of sadness and regret.
"The widow has a good nephew." The king of Chu sighed to the left and right: "If you are loyal and filial, you will become a great weapon in the future, but it's a pity that ......"
He got up abruptly, asked his attendants to put on his armor, and let Sima go down and prepare to attack the city.
Looking at Lu Hun Xiaoyi, who was overwhelmed by the black clouds, the King of Chu smiled and said: "I appreciate the victory more and more, but it's a pity that he doesn't know the vastness of the sea, and tries in vain to block the Chu State with the power of his mantis arms." ”
"Since this kid is disobedient, the widow will teach him a little lesson, and after taking Lu Hun City, let him ask Gu for guilt, and then Gu will still help him up, wipe off the ashes on his body, take him back to Chudi, and let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors in the temple of the ancestors!"
