Chapter 1090: The Princes Look North (Part II)

Sima Ziqi promised Wang Sunsheng, saying that with his merits, he would definitely get a fief, and soon Yingdu fulfilled this promise and made Wang Sunsheng a doctor in Chaoyi, leading the military and political affairs of Qunshu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This nest, also known as "Anhui" or "Bai", is the area of Anqing and Lujiang in later generations. The land of Anhui is fertile, the back of the river and the lake, the upper control of Huaishang, the tiger, the mountains are deep and the water is deep, it is a place to defend the war. In the past, when Wu got here, he could unscrupulously suffer from Chu State, and now that Chu State has recaptured here, he can also look down on Wu State downstream, and Yingdu will divide Wang Sunsheng here, which has the intention of allowing him to continue to attack Wu State because of the situation.

However, compared to the state of Wu, which was attacked by the Yue State and broke the national capital, Wang Sunsheng was obviously more concerned about the Zhao State that controlled Huaibei in the north.

"There are only 2,000 people left in the Zhao army to garrison the state of Cai, how can they resist the state of Chu? Coupled with Xu Huai's emptiness, the opportunity for the Chu State to sweep the two Huai has arrived! ”

In late October, after learning that the main force of the Zhao army had returned to the north, Huainan Xiaoyi lived in the nest, and Wang Sunsheng, the doctor of Chu State, was full of pride.

As the "traitor" of the Zhao family, Wang Sunsheng was unsympathetic to the Zhao Hou who had served, and was fearful and respectful.

He respected Zhao Hou's open-mindedness and enterprising, but this open-mindedness made an exception for him, and repeatedly rejected his enthusiasm. He was also afraid of Zhao Hou's unfathomable depth, and the feeling of not being able to win the trust of the king, but all his thoughts seemed to be seen through was very bad. Now, when Wang Sunsheng returned to the state of Chu to establish his own merits, he found that Zhao Wuxian was once again in front of him.

He was still in awe, but a little more eager to try.

Like his father-in-law Wu Zixu, Wang Sunsheng is a person who likes to take one thing as the goal of life, once he put Zheng Guo's revenge for killing his father in the first place, and after leading the army to attack Zheng Guo several times, this mood has eased a lot, and the revenge of killing his father seems to be avenged. Later, he thought that Wu Zixu's revenge was his goal, and with the embarrassment of Wu and Qunshu's strategy, Wang Sunsheng felt worthy of Wu Zixu's nurturing grace.

Now, he has made it his life goal to assist the State of Chu against the State of Zhao, so that the Marquis of Zhao regretted not reusing himself after suffering a big loss...... That's why he blindly asked Yingdu to send troops to Huaishang to seize these territories that should have belonged to the Chu State!

However, a letter from Yingdu made Wang Sunsheng's bold plan fall into the sand......

"Although the country is big, the belligerent will be dangerous, and during the period of the king's mourning, the state affairs should not be changed in vain, let alone rashly ...... with the big powers."

Ling Yin Zixi, who has always been very protective of Wang Sunsheng, actually denied his request to send troops this time on the grounds of the state funeral of King Chu Zhao.

For a while, Wang Sunsheng was angry and regretful.

"My uncle is too conservative."

Although it has been less than two years since he entered Chu, Wang Sunsheng has already complained about his conservative uncle, as early as the fourth year of King Zhao of Chu (512 BC), Zixi emerged in the state of Chu, when the prince of Wu Guo covered Yu and Zhu Yong fled to Chu State. He ordered Yin Zichang to give them a large amount of land, arranged for them to live on the border, and built a city for it, making them enemies of the king of Wu. Zixi thought that this would only anger Wu Guo. After experiencing the profligacy of King Chu Ling and King Chu Ping, the livelihood of Chu at this time was urgent, and it was not appropriate to be an enemy of Wu.

Although there is nothing wrong with his opinion, it can also be seen that his style of "being cautious in everything, not using swords and soldiers" can also be seen, the year before last King Chu Zhao's Northern Expedition he dissuaded, this year Sima Ziqi proposed to take the opportunity to recover the lost territory He also hesitated, and now refusing Wang Sunqi's request, in fact, is also expected.

Wang Sunsheng could only reluctantly give up his bold plan, he is now a doctor in Chaoyi, and at the same time in charge of Qunshu's affairs, but without the orders of Ling Yin and Sima, the doctors who were arranged in Qunshu would not obey his orders, after all, although he is a prince and grandson, his qualifications are too shallow.

"My words in the court are too insufficient......" After experiencing this, Wang Sunsheng also realized one point, in the face of the system of the dictatorship of the royal family in the Chu State, he felt that he could go further, but first, he had to rely on enough military merits to increase his reputation and strength!

With this in mind, Wang Sunsheng set his sights on Yihu, which was located in the northeast of Qunshu......

Yihu, that is, the Hefei of later generations, here is Huaishang's throat, Jiangdong's lips and teeth. Deyi Hu, you can ask Chen and Cai in the west, and have a great right to speak within the Chu State, and if you go north to Xu and Si, you can compete with Zhao Wuxian for victory in the Central Plains, and continue to advance eastward, you can take the land north of the Wu State and strangle the south of the Yangtze River and turn it back......

……

Wu Wangfu was eight years apart, and at the beginning of November, Gusu Wucheng.

"King, General Xumen came to report, saying that the division of the Chu army in the nest has invaded Yihu, and there are few generals and soldiers, and there is no way to resist ......"

After experiencing a lot of ups and downs in a few months, Wu Wangfucha seemed to be ten years old, he raised his head tiredly, and said, "Yihu? Let him go...... General Xumen can hold Beiliang, Zhaoguan and Yongpu. ”

Zhaoguan and Beiliang are the two important places of Wu in the north of the river, and they are also the bottom line of the husband's cha, as for Yongpu, it is a ferry port on the big river, there is a mountain peak called "Little Lonely Mountain" nearby, standing on the north bank of the big river, the lonely peak is steep, and the south bank mountain confronts each other like a door, the big river flows here, because the two mountains choke each other, so it is very narrow, the water flow is turbulent, and the danger is terrible. As long as the naval army of the State of Wu held here, the Chu people would not be able to fight the division of the State of Yue, and they would not be able to pose a mortal threat to the State of Wu.

Although he scolded Wang Sun Qi many times, but now, Fucha has no effort to regain the lost land in Huainan and Jiangbei, looking at the Gusu Zhitai that was burned into a white ground in front of him, Fucha's heart is bleeding.

After the doctor returned to the river with the commander of the boat division, he fought a battle with the sailors of Fan Li of the Yue Kingdom in Jiangmen, because the Wu boat returned from a long journey, and the soldiers were extremely tired, so although they had the advantage of the ship, the two sides did not win or lose.

But Fucha's purpose had been achieved, and the Yue people withdrew from the river and returned to Yuedi, and Fucha arrived in Jiangdong from Wujiang with 20,000 remnants of soldiers and returned to the mainland of Wu.

They came back too timely, when they arrived in Wucheng, the Yue people just broke through the outer Guo, and entered the city, just like the Wu people did in Huiji, looting a large number of property, capturing women, and Gou Jian also burned the Gusu platform that the husband had painstakingly built!

This palace, but the husband exhausted manpower and material resources, so that Bo Yao spent two years on the Guxu Mountain to build, the heavy hall is beautiful, the floors are sparse, the buildings are knotted, and the flowers of the four seasons are also planted around the high platform, the fruit of the eight sections, across five miles, so that the husband can linger on it, and enjoy himself.

However, now, there is only a piece of scorched earth and rubble left, and all the beauties in the palace are scattered, but fortunately, Zheng Dan, who is the most favored by her husband, hid in the inner city in time.

Thanks to Wu Zixu's intentions when building Wucheng, he tasted the water from the soil, like heaven and law, making the inner city of Wucheng stronger than the outer Guo, and backed by Lingyan Mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the prince of Wu took more than 1,000 soldiers, and defended this place for a month, and finally waited for the husband to come back......

The Wu army had more people than the Yue army, but it was only barely able to repel the Yue soldiers in the city, and they were unable to chase out the three rivers and five lakes......

Looking at the almost destroyed homeland, the more than 10,000 remnants of the Wu State were extremely sad, and the husband was also silent for a long time on the side of the wreckage of the Gusu Terrace.

"Well burned! Gou Jian burned well! ”

It was a long time before he drew his sword and struck a pillar that had survived the fire, as if he were cutting off his past self.

From this day on, Fucha seems to have recovered his father Wu Wanglu's "mouth is not greedy, ears are unhappy, eyes are not obscene", he did not live in the palace room of Wu Guo, which escaped disaster, but lived in the ruins of Gusu Zhitai, where there was hardly an intact house, and every morning when he came out, he must arrange for someone to question him loudly at the door:

"Fucha, have you forgotten the defeat of Sishang and the shame of Gusu?"

He will surely reply loudly: "Only, dare not forget!" ”

For Fucha, the defeat of Sishang was his eternal pain, but Zhao only occupied Huaibei and withdrew his troops, and did not continue to go south, and Zhao Wuxian even sent a ship to send Ji Za's coffin, indicating that he had no intention of destroying Wu.

So compared to Zhao Guolai, Chu and Yue have become the more vicious enemies of Wu now, especially Yue Guo, Gou Jian's deception and betrayal can never be forgiven!

However, he reluctantly found that Wu was now under the enemy's back, and was facing the difficulty of insufficient soldiers, not to mention the counterattack to regain lost territory, and even the defense was difficult.

So after the battle between heaven and man, Fucha made up his mind.

"Summoning Bo Yao!"

After a while, Bo Yao, who was dressed in soap, rushed to the platform of Gusu, and trembled in front of his husband, he had been revoked by his husband, and he was idle, but Wang Sun Luo was more and more reused.

The husband raised his eyebrows and scolded Bo Yao: "You have misled the country many times, and the widow should have killed you, but I think that you have served the Wu State for more than 20 years, and you have also contributed to the society, spare your life!" ”

Bo Ya was like pounding garlic, and he was glad that he had escaped.

The husband picked him up again, and said: "You have seen Zhao Wuxian, and your son-in-law is the concubine of Zhao Wuxian, and then go to the north for the widow, and say that the coffin of Yanling Jizi Wu has been received, thank you Zhao Hou Rende, and the husband is willing to abandon the fight with Zhao Guo and deal with it peacefully!" I also hope that Zhao Hou can return the Wu prisoners, and the husband is willing to exchange copper and tin for it! ”
