Chapter 221: Assassination and Ambush

Gou Jian's vomiting of blood this time was not blocked by Wen Chong and Fan Li, and it didn't take long for it to spread from the Yue Palace. Many people in the streets and alleys also know, and Remnant Zhu doesn't know if he was born with a genius for fine work. Anyway, as soon as he heard that Gou Jian vomited blood, Remnant Zhu had already immediately come up with a rumor.

Rumors say, why is there so much disaster in Vietnam? That's because Gou Jian is immoral! You see, first took the initiative to send troops to the Wu State, which caused the Yue State to almost lose the country, and the people of the Yue State spent three years of hard work under the rule of the Wu army. Then there was the war disaster with the Han Kingdom, which led to the soaring price of grain and the failure of the fields. Now God is still preparing to take Goujian's surname!

The rumors intensified, and it was even rumored that Wu sent troops to contempt the country this time, but it was actually a false way to destroy the country. This false Dao exterminator is talking about the Spring and Autumn Period Jin Xiangong, that is, the father of Jin Wengong, one of the famous Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants. He wanted to destroy the Yu State and the Yu State, but the two countries had always had a close relationship, and once they united, the Jin State at that time was not their opponent.

So Jin Xiangong gave his beloved Maxima, jade and other treasures to the monarch of Yu State, which can be said to have won over the monarch of Yu State with blood. The monarch of Yu naturally had a good impression of Jin Xiangong. It didn't take long for Jin Xiangong to take the opportunity to propose to the monarch of Yu to borrow a road from Yu to destroy Yu. Yu Guojun accepted so many benefits, so he was naturally embarrassed not to reciprocate, so he agreed.

Without the alliance of Yu State, Yu Guo was naturally not the opponent of the Jin army, but after destroying Yu State, the Jin State army took the opportunity to destroy the unprepared Yu State on the way back to the division. also took back all the gifts that Jin Xiangong gave to the monarch of Yu Guo, and the jade bi was not damaged, that is, Maxima was a little older, and Jin Xiangong's loss was simply equivalent to nothing. And this is the famous false way to extinguish the enemy, and the idiom of the lips and teeth is cold also comes from here.

And the meaning of this rumor is that when Wu Guoban returns to the dynasty, he will easily destroy the Yue country, and the people of the Yue country will fluctuate when they land, and when the military disaster comes, they will naturally have to reserve more grain, which will push up the price of grain. The price of grain was as high as fifty-three dollars a stone. The increase in food prices, coupled with the disasters over the years, has also made the people of Yue more and more hated Gou Jian, believing that it is precisely because of his country that it will lead to so many disasters and disasters in Vietnam.

In fact, rumors are rumors in the end, and if you think about it deeply, this rumor can't stand scrutiny at all. With the national strength of the Wu State, can you use the trick of playing a false way to destroy the enemy? Even if it was to be destroyed, the Yue Kingdom would have been destroyed long ago when the Wu army was trapped in Huiji Mountain. Can you use the fact that no offense has happened to Yue Guo now, and the Yue Kingdom will be destroyed? Although the husband is arrogant and arrogant, he didn't let you go to the country a few years ago, and now he will attack you and the country.

But people of insight are always smaller. Moreover, the vast majority of people say that Wu will attack the Yue Kingdom, and in this case, some people of insight will inevitably have half-believing thoughts about their own opinions, and even turn to think that Wu will really attack the Yue Kingdom.

This was something Yang Zilu didn't expect, but he was also happy for this to happen. At the same time, Yang Zilu also thought of a strategy that could take the opportunity to pit Yue Guo, and if this strategy was used well, it could also make Wu Guo disgusted with Yue Guo's attitude, and when he attacked Yue Guo, Wu Guo once watched coldly, as long as the speed was fast enough. Before Wu Guo reacted, it was not impossible to destroy Yue Guo.

So Yang Zilu was sick, which one was very serious, and he couldn't adapt to the soil and water. Wu Ming, who didn't know the truth, personally brought the generals of the Wu army to visit him, but how could Yang Zilu let them see that he was pretending to be sick?

Yang Zilu naturally stayed near the border between the original Gu State and the current Han State and the Yue Kingdom. And the Han army also accompanied Yang Zilu to stay in the local area. Although Wu Ming hoped to leave with Yang Zilu, he even returned to Gusu City to accept the reward of Wu Wangfucha. However, since Yang Zilu was too sick to travel long distances, he could only go on the road alone.

But when he arrived in the Yue Kingdom, Wu Ming put aside his worries about Yang Zilu's condition and turned to be full of anger at the Vietnamese army in Guxian City. The Vietnamese army in Guxian City actually refused to let the Wu army rest like this! It's all about whatever! Yue Guo is so awesome?

Everyone in the Wu army was furious, and some even shouted a suggestion to capture the city. However, although Wu Ming has no good impression of Gou Jian, he has a lot of bad feelings, but he also knows that without the order of his husband, he may not be able to explain to the country when he attacks Yue.

Moreover, the county doctor in Gumei City is not stupid, and he did not say anything I don't care about you pretending to destroy you and not let you enter the city, but said that there is an epidemic in Gumei City, so it is inconvenient to let Wu Jun enter the city.

But Wu Jun just asked the nearby Yue people and knew what was going on. This is also the main reason why Wu Ming and even Wu Jun are angry, no one wants to be wronged, and they are wronged for no reason.

Wu Ming was not bored along the way, did not ask to enter the city to rest, Wu Jun slept all the way, Wu soldiers also ate a stomach of dust and anger, and the army came to the outskirts of Huiji City.

Before arriving at Huiji City, Wu Ming ordered his soldiers to make a big fanfare. Wu Jun also understood what Wu Ming meant, Wu Ming wanted to see how Gou Jian handled this matter.

As a vassal state of Wu State, Gou Jian had to go out of the city to congratulate Wu Ming and them, and set up a banquet to entertain the Wu army. In this matter of principle, Gou Jian really doesn't have the courage to snub Wu Ming, who knows if Wu Ming will be annoyed and angry and come directly to make a fake come true, and really give Yue Guo a false way to destroy it.

And he didn't know that the Vietnamese army in front of him made his own assertions, and stupidly ordered more than 2,000 people of Yue to go out of the city to meet the Wu army in order to make Wu Ming feel a feeling that the people of the Yue country supported the Wu country. And Gou Jian is still ten miles out of the city to greet him, and Gou Jian's posture is low enough.

When he saw Wu Ming coming, Gou Jian also asked the driver to drive forward, and bowed his hand to Wu Ming from a distance, shouting: "Congratulations to the general for his victory, exterminate the contempt, and retreat from the Chu army. ”

(Regarding Gou Jian's title to the husband, some people may be strange, Gou Jian is a prince, and the husband is also a prince, can Gou Jian use such flattery?) In fact, in history, Gou Jian's cousin was poor, and the beginning was 'East China Sea Minister', so Gou Jian should call the husband the main one, and this is not flattery. "Yue Hou, it's too exaggerated, this general is just thanks to the bravery of the whole army! Wu Ming was not very polite to Gou Jian, and said with a cold face. The tone was even more perfunctory, as if it was chasing flies.

Gou Jian's face froze, but he quickly returned to normal, still smiling. However, if you are careful, you can still find that there is a strong resentment in the depths of Gou Jian's eyes.

Then Gou Jian invited Wu Ming to his car, although Wu Ming's status was high, he still had to follow some specifications. I have to say that Gou Jian's military vehicle is much stronger than Wu Ming's military vehicle, and Gou Jian's doing this also gives Wu Ming a great honor.

Wu Ming hesitated, but agreed to Gou Jian's invitation and the two stood on the military cart, but the reaction of the Yue people along the way was not very enthusiastic, and most of them watched coldly, as if they were watching a joke. Wu Ming also felt that something was wrong, muttered for a moment, and said casually: "Yue Hou, the people of Yue seem to be a little special!" ”

Gou Jian had already noticed it, but this problem was not easy to deal with, so Gou Jian had been pretending to be stupid, and when he saw Wu Ming stabbing this matter, he had to cover it up and said: "Oh, it's probably the first time they have seen the general's majesty, so they were frightened, the small country and the widows, they haven't seen anything in the world, it's really rude!" What a rude! ”

"Oh! Is it? Wu Ming said noncommittally.

As soon as the words fell, Wu Ming suddenly saw a cold light flash in the corner of his eyes, and a sense of danger surged into his heart. Wu Ming instinctively turned to one side, and before the person fell on the military vehicle, Wu Ming already felt a tingling pain in his arm. As soon as Wu Ming lowered his head, he saw an arrow stuck in his arm, but this arrow was relatively short.

Gou Jian was simply taken aback, and when he saw this arrow, he instinctively said: "Ah! This is the crossbow of the Han Kingdom! ”

Wu Ming originally suspected that this was the crossbow of the Han Kingdom, but when he heard Gou Jian's words, he held back the severe pain and sneered: "The crossbow of the Han Kingdom is really good!" ”

When Gou Jian heard this, he sighed in his heart, he didn't pay attention when he said this just now. But now they have reacted, and the crossbow is only available to the Han Kingdom in the south (the Han clan of the Jin Kingdom in this era already knows how to make crossbows). And when you Gou Jian found out that someone else had just been assassinated, he said that this arrow was actually a crossbow arrow, doesn't this make people suspect that you are trying to frame the Han Kingdom?

If it were someone else, whether it was the Yue people who assassinated him or the Han people, it would definitely be the same for that country. But Wu Ming is not, Wu Ming knows that the people of Yue Guo think that they are a false way to destroy Yu, so the people of Yue Country have the most this motive, and maybe it was planned by Gou Jian himself. As for Yang Zilu, Wu Ming didn't believe it, because Yang Zilu had a good relationship with him, and Yang Zilu was quite sick, so where did he have the heart to plan this assassination?

In fact, Gou Jian was really wronged in this matter, and what he said just now was just a shock and instinctively blurted out. And as for how he knew it was a crossbow and not an arrow, it was simple. The relationship between Yue and Han is so bad now, and it is said that the next moment when a war breaks out between Yue and Han, there will be people in Yue who believe it. In this case, how could Gou Jian not pay attention to the Han Kingdom? The most powerful crossbows, cavalry, and longbows in the Han Kingdom have always been things that Gou Jian peeped at, and it was natural to be familiar with them.

However, Wu Ming would not have thought of this, in his opinion, Gou Jian deliberately misled himself, implying that Yang Zilu wanted to assassinate him.

Gou Jian also knew that it was useless to say anything now, only to catch the assassin, but after the assassination, the scene was chaotic, let alone catching the assassin, even if it was difficult to control the chaos. In the end, the Assassins were unable to catch it, but found a short bow and a bag of quivers with only two crossbow bolts remaining.

Obviously, this crossbow bolt is not shot with a crossbow, but with a bow, which makes people misunderstand that it is a crossbow. The most important thing is that the murder weapon was fought by the Vietnamese army and the Wu army at that time, but in the end, the Wu army's toughness was victorious. This made Wu Ming have to wonder if the Vietnamese army was instructed by Gou Jian to destroy this murder weapon.

Gou Jian said bitterly about this, the reason why the Vietnamese army did this was actually because Gou Jian gave a death order, so that the Vietnamese army must catch the assassin. Gou Jian naturally did this in order to show his innocence, but he didn't want to do bad things with good intentions. For such an important murder weapon, how could the Vietnamese army, which had received a strict order from Gou Jian, give up because of Wu Jun's intervention?

Wu Ming didn't dare to enter Huiji City because of this assassination, and the banquet that Gou Jian had painstakingly arranged was also stillborn. Moreover, because Wu Ming was not seriously injured, he was not even willing to stay in Yue Guo for a moment, and retreated back to Wu State overnight.

In the eyes of Wu Ming, and even most of Wu Jun, the current Yue Kingdom is too weird. Maybe the next moment the Yue State will declare war on the Wu State, don't look at the Yue State now has only more than 3,000 troops. (Originally, there were more than 4,000, but after being pitted by Yang Zilu, it became more than 3,000) But once a war broke out, the Yue Kingdom would definitely be able to use all the soldiers, and only 5,000 Wu troops would not be able to bear it.

What shocked the Wu army even more was that on the way back to Wu, they actually encountered an ambush by a group of Yue people with about 500 people. Although this ambush only caused the Wu army to lose 37 people, you must know that the Wu army was only two killed on the battlefield of the Gu Contempt Country!

Enraged, the Wu army put all these Yue nationals to death, abandoning their bodies on both sides of the road, and the human head was stacked in the middle of the road.

Wu Jun's move made the relationship between Yue and Wu almost enter a state of war. After Gou Jian learned about this, he found out that someone had actually forged his order, saying that now the Wu army wanted to escape, and the Yue army was chasing behind it. Let the nearby Chinese ambush and intercept the Wu army, and soon the Yue army will come.

Fortunately, there is an ally in the country of Wu and Yue, Bo Yao. For this reason, Gou Jian used Fan Li again, so that Fan Li hurriedly selected ten Yue beauties, and took these ten Yue beauties to Wu Guogu Sucheng and gave them to Bo Yao.

Bo Yao, who had received the benefits of the Yue country, naturally made a statement to the angry husband, saying that this was just the self-made opinion of the people of the Yue country. Where does Gou Jian dare to have such guts? In a few days, Gou Jian will definitely make people come to confess.

Within a few days, Gou Jian sent a doctor to apologize to his husband and gave him 300,000 yuan as an apology. (300,000 dollars!) Gou Jian beat his chest and wailed. Although Gou Jian's sincere attitude calmed down a lot of anger, Wu Zixu was not a vegetarian. Wu Zixu said to his husband: "King, can the thirty-seven warriors of my Wu Kingdom come here with 300,000 yuan?" And Lao Chen thinks that this matter is definitely not as simple as Gou Jian said, is it just that the people of the country make their own opinions? Do they dare to use 500 men against 5,000 heavily armed Wu soldiers? King, there must be someone planning this! The old minister begged the king and asked Gou Jian to hand over the mastermind behind the scenes! ”

When the husband heard this, he was also aroused in his heart, originally the Wu State was very good in this battle, and he pacified the Gu Guo, but he only sacrificed two soldiers, what a good record? After being ambushed by this mob of Yue, 37 people died. The husband immediately said: "What Xiangguo said is very true, Zheji, you go back and tell Gou Jian that the widow is limited to hand over the mastermind behind the scenes within three months, otherwise don't blame the widow for personally leading the troops to arrest people!" ”

"The king......" Zheji was shocked when he heard this, and immediately spoke, hoping that the husband could raise his noble hand.

But as soon as the word "king" came out, Fucha already turned pale, interrupted Zheji's words, and roared: "Okay! Don't talk about it, Doctor Zheji, you're tired too, come on! Take Dr. Zheji down to rest! ”

When Zhe Ji heard this, he didn't dare to speak immediately, so he could only give Bo Yao a look desperately. But how could he have touched the wrath of his husband at this time? When he arrived, Bo Yao started to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and he didn't know that Gou Jian would launch the important minister of Yue Guo as a scapegoat this time, but this is no longer his business, and he didn't let his husband send troops to Yue Guo!

After Gou Jian knew about this, he hated the person who framed him even more, and Gou Jian suspected that the mastermind behind the framed him was Yang Zilu. However, what made Gou Jian very depressed was that he had no evidence, everything was speculation. If he insists on saying that these things are all done by Yang Zilu, not only will Yang Zilu not lose anything, but will make Yang Zilu bite back.

Different from Gou Jian's depression and anger, after Yang Zilu got the news, she smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyes, and she was so proud that the muscles on her face cramped with laughter. Now the rest of the matter is for him Yang Zilu, to find a name for the Han Kingdom.

As long as there is a name for the division, the 3,000 Han troops who have been training in Longyou City for nearly two months will attack the Gumei City of Yue from the homeland of the Gu Conf Kingdom. And in the Han Kingdom, Yang Zilu also sent Kan Pingtian back to mobilize troops and horses. Now it is estimated that there are more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of the black bear in Juwucheng, and these two ways will send troops. I don't dare to say anything else, but I can attack back and forth, and occupy the cities around Guyi City and Zhuji City of Yueguo.

And because of the pressure of Wu Guo and the public grievances of Yue Guo, Gou Jian at this moment did not notice Yang Zilu's small actions, and focused all his energy on how to collect evidence and how to calm down the people's grievances.

As for Fan Li, who is full of strategic vision, he is in the relationship between Wu and Bo Ya at the moment, hoping that Bo Ya can persuade Fu Cha to assassinate and ambush Wu Jun again, and turn the big thing into a small thing, and a small thing into nothing. Although Fan Li is talented, it is impossible to be far away in Wu State, and he is also dual-minded, and he noticed the small actions of Han State. Besides, when the small actions of the Han Kingdom spread to the Wu Kingdom, it would be half a month, and it was too late for Fan Li to find out!

And another Tianzhong talent, Wen Chong, is anxious about the price of food, and Wen Chong's military attainments are more than Fan Li's, plus the impact of food prices, no one has found out that the Han army has been waiting for the end.
