Chapter 582: Iron and Blood
Zhao Wuxian sent everyone out of the hall, leaving only Mu Xia and Qi Wan two personal guards, his fingers tapping on the desk, looking at the pair of orphans and widows who were bent on revenge, their eyes told him that the mother and son were serious.
Their hearts were filled with vengeful anger and wanted to kill the king of Chu.
The pre-Qin period was an era of revenge, from the story of Du Bo's ghost killing King Zhou Xuan's revenge, to the death of the ninth Emperor of Qi Xianggong, and then to Wu Zixu's shocking revenge must be repaid, digging the grave and whipping the corpse, all left a deep impression on the people at this time.
And the revenge of killing his father is not shared, and it is the most urgent revenge.
But what if the object of revenge becomes a prince of a great country who sits on a territory of thousands of miles, rules millions of people, and has more than 100,000 soldiers?
The Son of Heaven is not afraid, what about the princes!?
If the warrior will be angry, the corpse of the two, bleeding five steps, the world is vegetarian, today is also! I believe that in the face of father's enmity, many scholars will stand up with their swords.
But this is not a legendary novel about flying swords and taking people's heads thousands of miles away, killing the king of Chu should be the most difficult revenge in the world.
Zhao Wuxian looked at them for a long time before he spoke: "How difficult is it to kill Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu?" Do you want me to spend a lot of money on finding Assassins and emulating the Assassins? However, the state of Lu and the state of Chu are thousands of miles apart, the state of Chu has many checkpoints, the capital of the new state is high and deep, and the palace armor wearing rhinoceros skin surrounds the palace of Chu, I heard that the king of Chu has become very cautious after a period of exile, and it may be difficult for assassins to enter. ”
Mo Ye didn't show the slightest hint of retreat, she said: "I know that assassination is difficult, I once wanted to sneak into the Chu Palace to kill him, but unfortunately I can forge a sword." But I am not good at swordsmanship, so I don't want to learn it. It's Wu Zixu! ”
"Do you want to learn Wu Zixu's revenge?" Zhao Wuxian smiled dumbly.
Wu Zixu's revenge deeds have spread all over the world in recent years, and he was originally Chu Chen. However, the clan was slaughtered by King Chuping and Ling Yin Zichang, and the soldiers were indignant, and took Gongsun Sheng into Wu, assisted Gongziguang in assassinating the Wu kings and usurped the throne, and then cooperated with Sun Wu to lead troops to attack the Chu capital. At that time, King Chuping was dead, Zichang had fled, Wu Zixu was not angry, dug up the tomb of King Chuping, and whipped the corpse of 300. In order to avenge the revenge of his father and brother, he moved into the palace of Chu with the Wu people, and openly divided the wives and concubines of the nobles such as the King of Chu, Ling Yin, and Sima, and vented the depression of the past few years.
As a person who has lived in Wu Chu for a long time, Mo Xie naturally knows the deeds, but Zhao Wuxian felt a little ridiculous when he heard her say that he wanted to emulate the method of revenge of the soldiers.
Is that something that anyone can learn?
Wu Zixu's revenge is to choose the sworn enemy of Chu State, Wu Guo, to assist him, his talent. His conceit and pride gave him the confidence to do so, but this matter was a little wrong when it came to Mo Ye, a widow with a young son.
Mo Ye was not afraid, she raised her hands that were full of burns from years of iron smelting and forging. Show it to Zhao Wuxian: "It is true that I don't have Wu Zi's strategic talent, but I have these hands!" ”
"A woman's hand can raise a young child. It can weave cloth, but it can't allow a small state to gain the strength to be the enemy of a large country of 5,000. ”
Mo Ye said categorically: "Yes! I can do it! ”
"General, there is no shortage of capable generals here. But I lack the advantage of armor, and I can forge a fine blade. Let your soldiers be armed, and one soldier will be five soldiers of the Chu people. These sacrificed swords are only the first batch, I can make the iron soldiers produce in batches, halberds, spears, arrows, as long as the general is willing, he can use these blades to make enemies of the Chu State. ”
"Huizai, Mo Xie, I underestimated you." Zhao Wuxian was in awe and bowed slightly to her to apologize.
"But I still don't know something, why me? There are more powerful kings and rulers in the world than me, why do you think I can avenge you? ”
……
Mo Xie's tattooed face was a little gloomy.
"My father, Ou Yezi, fled from Wu with the Zhanlu sword, and the king of Wu hated my family deeply, so I couldn't vote for Wu. Looking at the few big countries in the north that can threaten Chu, Yue, Qin, and Qi are all friendly with Chu, and it is impossible to go. The only person who can be the enemy of Chu is the Jin Kingdom, which was originally just an idea, and it was not until Qunshu met the people sent by the general that it was possible to realize it. ”
Zhao Wuxian glanced at her in surprise: "Although you are a woman, although you have lived in Qunshu for several years, you know quite a bit about the affairs of the state. It's a pity that you didn't come to Jin, but Lu, I am the general of Lu, but not the secretary of Jin, for you to be the enemy of the king of Chu......"
He shook his head wantingly: "Now that Lu is at the beginning of peace, the foreign enemy has not been extinguished, I don't have this mind for the time being, and I don't have such a big hand." ”
Mo Ye hurriedly said: "After all, I am traveling between Yue Wu and Chu, and my father has also had dealings with the monarchs of many countries, so I know some state relations. I don't know what kind of person the Marquis of Jin is, but I can see that the general can help me get revenge! ”
"How so?"
"It is rumored that Zhan Lu saw that King Wu was not virtuous, so he sneaked into Chu, this is made up, but our sword masters are indeed good at observing the rise and fall of a country. After I entered Lu, I took a good look, the general is already the master of Lu, and he has great ambitions, much stronger than Wu Wangyi, Chu King Xiong Zhen, etc., your ambition is quite similar to Wu Wanglu. ”
Zhao Wuxian was aroused by this sentence: "I am like King Wu? Tell me about the similarities. ”
In China, he personally inspected and appeased the orphans and the poor when the plague fell from heaven. In the army, the soldiers are pushed to the clothes and clothes, and the food is fed, so the soldiers know that they are not dying in vain regardless of fatigue and death...... All of the above, the generals are quite similar to Wu Wanglu. ”
She paused slightly, and added: "What is even more unusual is that the great general smelting weapons will not only focus on letting the swordsman spend years smelting a few artifacts like King Yunchang of Yue, King Wu of Wu, and King Xiong Zhen of Chu, as a decoration to show off his wealth or power. You have to find a way to forge iron weapons that can be used by ordinary soldiers, which is rare among the lords of the world, and it is exactly the strategy of strengthening the country advocated by Wu Zixu and Sun Wu. It is important to know that the benefits of military armor are also the factors that determine the rise and fall of a country, and if you can do this, you will definitely achieve a great cause. When the time comes, I will fight for hegemony with the Chu State in the south, and I may be able to repeat the deeds of the Wu people who broke Chu, so that I and my son will have a chance to slash the King of Chu! ”
This time, Zhao Wuxian was silent for a long time before he said: "Mo Xie, you entered Lu at the end of October, it's only been less than half a year, your Zhongxia dialect is getting better and better, Yanyan is really good, you can be a lobbyist in addition to being a sword master......
"The servants don't dare to ......" Mo Ye lowered his head, because he often cut off iron smelting, the short hair that only reached the shoulder made Zhao Wuxian suddenly feel that this was like a woman from the next generation, a female man with a will like steel......
Is this woman already smart? Or is it a thirst for revenge that makes her try her best to learn and persuade? Zhao Wuxian didn't know, but some of her words made him a little moved.
Now he and the State of Chu are indeed incompatible, but what about the future?
If you want to achieve your greatest ambition of "leveling the world", the state of Chu is an insurmountable difficulty. This is a behemoth in the south, whose population and soldiers are no less than those of the Jin State, although it was fatally hit by the Wu State, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is still one of the five strongest in the world.
What's more, the will and potential of the Chu people should not be underestimated, Zhao Wuxian didn't want something to come out of this time and space, "Although Chu has three households, Zhao will be Chu when he dies......
Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a corner, and those who do not seek the general trend are not enough to seek a moment. Zhao Wuxian let Xing Ao go to Wu with a single hand of chess, and he was lucky and brought back Mo Xie. Maybe it's time to make some first moves for the Chu State, if I'm not mistaken, Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu Zhao, this is a shameful and brave lord of Zhongxing, you must guard against it......
Let Mo Ye and her son Meijian Chi become the beginning of Mou Chu, what is it?
He said slowly: "You have persuaded me, one day, I may really be an enemy of Chu, and at that time, I may be able to find justice for your mother and son, and for the unjustly killed cadres......
"General Xie!" Mo Xie was overjoyed, and he pulled his son to thank him.
"Wait!"
Zhao Wuxian stopped them and added, "But it may be ten years or even twenty years from now, can you wait?" ”
Mo Xie hesitated slightly, then looked at his son and said: "Even if I die, there is still my son, my son is dead, and my grandson, my children and grandchildren are endless, and the revenge of the king of Chu for killing her husband will be repaid even if the ninth generation also wants to pay for it, let alone one or two decades?" Mo Xie, you can afford to wait! ”
"Good!" Zhao Wuxian immediately got up and went down to the hall to high-five her as an oath.
"Before that, let Ruzi enter my Yulin Orphan Army between his eyebrows, and I will train him well, so that he will not forget his father's hatred. And you, Mo Xie, you will develop the iron-smelting technique for me in Taoqiu, you must know that the faster the sharpened blade, the harder the sword of revenge can be pierced! ”
……
After Yan Yan took Mo Ye and his eyebrows down again, Zhao Wuxian wiped the sword that belonged to him alone, staring at the green-scaled tortoiseshell-like lines on it.
It will be a long and dangerous journey to feed the strong enemies around him, and to seek a large country with a thousand times a small state, and it is difficult to say what awaits Zhao Wuxian at the end point.
Mou Chu, that was just an optional path, and before that, Zhao Wuxian still had to climb a mountain range that was close in front of him!
This time, he knew what was at the end of the mountaintop.
Zhao Wuxian stared lightly at the cadre, this steel sword trapped the forger's soul.
"You want revenge, and I want revenge......" He whispered in a soft voice, as if muttering.
Taihang Mountain, Yang Gu Ban, Che Yu, that kind elder, his father-in-law Le Qi! The short spear that flew through the air, the desperate blood in the snow, Le Lingzi's grief and indignation, and the cold chill from the inside out, he never forgot it!
The things that have been buried in my heart for a long time have been hooked out, although Gu Yezi, the strong man of Qi State, is dead, but the shadows behind the scenes are still alive. As the power in his hands became greater and greater, Zhao Wuxian's heart was also full of longing, eager to let those who expelled him and framed him know that he couldn't wait to go back!
He seemed to see countless newly baked iron plows and shovels to make Lu have a bumper grain harvest. The iron Ge and the iron spear made the warriors like a tiger with wings, and the army, under the guidance of the Xuanniao banner to the west, entered Handan, Chaoge, Bairen, and even Xintian.
Words and arguments are pale, and only with iron and blood can justice be won for oneself and for the dead!
Zhao Wuxian whispered: "Fan's family, Zhongxing's family, as well as Qi Hou and Chen's ...... Come on, I'll be back soon, and I'll bring you blood and fire! ”
