"Did you catch it?" Yang Zilu looked at the remnant bamboo who had just returned and asked.

Remnant Zhu said with a ashamed face: "Lord, I'm sorry! Ministers are incompetent. Let the husband flee by boat. ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, she frowned and said, "What's the situation?" Did some skilled fighter save your husband from you, or did he stop you? ”

"No, it's a soldier, but he's very brave, with seven arrows and sixteen sword wounds in his body, and he still stands straight, so that's why the husband escapes! If it weren't for him, I'm afraid the husband would have been brought back by the minister a long time ago! Although he didn't want to explain, he couldn't help but complain as soon as he said it.

"True Righteousness!" Yang Zilu couldn't help but sigh: "In every country, there will always be some people who selflessly dedicate themselves to him!" He stopped you, but maybe it was providence! What did you do with his body? ”

"Back to the Lord, although the minister was angry, he also felt that what he did was worthy of the words heroes and heroes, so he didn't dissect his body, so he left his body in place and didn't deal with it!" The remnants of the bamboo responded respectfully.

When Yang Zilu heard this, he nodded and said, "You send someone to send the corpse back to your husband!" ”

"No!" Remnant bamboo responded.

Yang Zilu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and opened his mouth to call back the remnant bamboo who had turned around and was about to go back, and said, "Wait!" If this is not enough, you send someone to hide the body of that man in its place, and set up a stone tablet with the word "Righteous Soldier" written on it! In addition, you will send an envoy to Wu Jun. ”

"Wu Jun? Is the Lord trying to make an alliance of soldiers? Remnant Zhu asked.

"Hmmm! The war has almost reached this point! Yang Zilu said in a deep voice.

Speaking of this, Yang Zilu paused, and then continued: "You go to the north bank, in order to show the goodwill of my Han, allow Wu to send thirteen ships, and one hundred and fifty people to come to the south bank to clean up the corpses of Wu Jun." However, those who come to the south bank are not allowed to carry weapons, and they must be searched by our Han army before they can collect the corpses! ”

"No!" The remnant bamboo answered and went down.

Yang Zilu rubbed his temples a little tiredly, and after a long time, Yu Yu came to the big tent of the Chinese army and reported to Yang Zilu: "Lord, the approximate battle report has come out!" ”

"Well, how's it going?" Yang Zilu asked.

"There are only about 2,000 people in the Wu army who fled back to Jiangbei, and another 4,000 people surrendered, and there were only about 2,000 corpses on the battlefield, and it is estimated that the other 2,000 people may have sunk into the river!" Yu Yu said excitedly.

However, Yang Zilu saw a trace of sadness from his excitement, Yang Zilu understood after a little thought, Yang Zilu sighed and said, "How many casualties?" ”

Yu Yu's face immediately froze, and he said with a wry smile: "The casualties of the cavalry are the greatest, and only three hundred of the six hundred people are left!" Seven thousand, a full 5,000 casualties, including more than 3,000 wounded soldiers, and another 1,800 have died for the country! Most of them were volunteers who were temporarily recruited by the Lord. ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he sighed and said, "They are all good, and they are all good men." You and Kan Pingtian should count their merits well, and all the bereavement benefits will be given priority, even if the widow has a meal, the bereavement money must be scraped together! ”

"No! This lord can rest assured that the foundation of the Yue Kingdom is still good, and there are many doctors' family businesses, which they have already confiscated, plus the booty captured on the battlefield, which should be enough for the pension. There is only one more question, some of these fallen soldiers are soldiers from vassal countries, what will the Lord do with their pensions? ”

Yang Zilu thought for a while, and said: "According to the seventy percent pension of the soldiers of the Han Kingdom, the pension will be issued, but their families will be allowed to join the Han Kingdom. If their chiefs dare to obstruct them and take their thrones, the widows believe that there are many who are willing to take their place as the widows' lackeys! ”

"No! Lord, if there is nothing to do, the minister will retreat! Mitsu said.

"Well, you go down!" Yang Zilu waved his hand.

............ "Immediately send an order to the widow to return to China and recruit the countrymen!" Mobilize 50,000 infantry, 1,000 chariots, and 200 boats! The widow is going to destroy the Han barbarians! The widow is going to destroy the Han barbarians! Fucha roared angrily.

"King, please calm down, now is not the time to be rash!" Wu Zixu strode into the tent and said coldly.

When he saw Wu Zixu, his husband's face was red and blue, and he regretted the indescribable feeling in his heart? Mortified? Angry? These feelings are all there. In the end, Fucha gritted his teeth and asked Wu Zixu: "Xiangguo, is it the dignity of a widow!" The dignity of the state of Wu! Is it still trampled by the Han barbarians? ”

"What does the king want? An army of 50,000! Don't you want Zhong Wu with you? Don't you want to close? Or does the Lord think that the Qi State and the Lu State dare not fight the idea of the land around Zhongwu? Chu State doesn't want to take back Zhaoguan and seek revenge from Wu State? Wu Zixu's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring the anger of the husband into the heart.

Fucha bit his lip, lowered his head, suppressed his anger and asked, "That Xiangguo, is it necessary for the widow to endure this humiliation?" ”

Wu Zixu stroked his beard and said, "King, this is not necessarily humiliation, the Han Kingdom is not the opponent of our Wu Kingdom, he knows this." That's why he contacted the State of Chu and tried to come to contain my State of Wu through the State of Chu. But in the final analysis, Chu State is also far away and can't quench its thirst, so this time Yang Zilu sent a messenger over, and the old minister went to see it just now. The posture is very low, and he promised that our Wu army can send people across the river to clean up the corpses of the warriors of the Wu army! It proves that Yang Zilu still doesn't have the courage to go against our Wu Guo! So if the Lord wants revenge, why should he care about this time? It can be said that the future is slowly drawing! ”

Fucha sighed and said, "Well, that's the only way to do it now!" Come to someone, spread the messenger of the Han Kingdom to see the widow! ”

It didn't take long for the remnant bamboo to come, and when he saw the husband, although he was unwilling, he still obeyed Yang Zilu's instructions and knelt down respectfully and said: "Foreign minister Remnant Zhu, I have seen the king!" ”

When the husband saw this, he immediately felt refreshed, and the anger in his heart immediately disappeared a lot, and he said in his heart: Hmph! What if you win? It's not about being a widow yet! The husband was also polite, sat arrogantly on the upper seat, and asked, "What is the matter with Yang Zilu sending you?" ”

Remnant Zhu secretly hated in his heart, but Yang Zilu repeatedly told him, so he could only continue to kneel honestly and said: "The foreign minister came on the orders of the lord in the hope that he could let Han and Wu fight against each other and cultivate friendship forever. At the same time, the Lord is willing to continue to defend the East China Sea for the southern domain of Wu and for Wu Guozhen! Tribute every year, more than every year! ”

"Hmph, that's pretty much it! Let Yang Zilu return the Yue Kingdom to Goujian! Otherwise, the widow will definitely gather 50,000 Wu troops to crusade against your Han Kingdom! The husband said with a grin.

Remnant Zhu hated even more in his heart, what are you bragging, when I am a soft egg? Although Remnant Zhu had a strong rebuttal, he thought of Yang Zilu's instructions and asked him to show weakness and be proud of his will, so that he would have a chance to destroy Wu in the future. Remnant Zhu pretended to be embarrassed and said, "King, I'm afraid you don't know anything. In fact, the Lord has already been under a lot of pressure to send foreign ministers! ”

"Oh!" The husband frowned and replied noncommittally.

Remnant Zhu continued: "The lord is in awe of the king, but the lord has a group of generals, but it is not like that, many of them think that the lord should be ready to wave his troops to the north on the one hand, and on the other hand, contact Chu and Qi on the other hand, and jointly send troops to Wu State, so as to divide the land of Wu State equally!" ”

Speaking of this, Remnant Zhu changed his words and said: "My lord naturally refuses, the State of Chu has already been called Bo Xishan, the State of Qi has just died two monarchs, and there has been a coup d'état in the country. Where is Wu's opponent? But the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under the lord are willing, if it weren't for the lord's pressure, I'm afraid they would have contacted the state of Chu and the state of Qi a long time ago! And if the king really wants to return to the land of Yueguo, I am afraid that the lord will not be able to suppress his arrogant soldiers! ”

When the husband heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, in fact, what he said just now was just a temptation, although he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he could see that Yang Zilu was obviously really afraid of himself. The husband said, "Well, in that case, let's make an alliance of soldiers!" ”

"Wait!" At this time, Wu Zixu, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke.

Remnant Zhu's heart jumped, before he went out, Yang Zilu personally sent him on the boat and explained to him that Wu Zixu was not easy to deal with. So the remnant bamboo cheered up and asked hard: "I don't know what is wrong with Xiangguo?" ”

"Actually, it's not a problem, but the old man thinks, the man should have captured a lot of my Wu soldiers, right? Should it be returned? Wu Zixu said with a serious face.

"That's it! Since Yang Zilu has his heart set on Wu Guo, he should send Wu Guo's soldiers to Wu Guocai! Fucha also chimed in.

Remnant Zhu's heart chuckled, ah! Four thousand people, Remnant Zhu thought for a while, and said: "I'm sorry Xiangguo, Remnant Bamboo has the heart to agree to this matter, but this matter is not up to Remnant Bamboo!" ”

Wu Zixu nodded and said, "Well, the old man also knows that you may not be able to be the master of this matter, so be it!" How about a meeting between my king and the man in Zhejiang tomorrow? ”

"This ......" Remnant Zhu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I'm really sorry, this matter is not something that Remnant Bamboo can decide, Remnant Zhu will go back to his life." Within three days, I will definitely give the king and Xiangguo an answer! ”

Wu Zixu frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Okay, three will be three, but I hope you can give the old man a satisfactory answer!" ”

"Yes! The foreign minister will retire! After saying that, Remnant Zhu immediately stood up and left with his legs that were a little numb from kneeling.

I couldn't help but be a little curious, what did Wu Zixu's request mean this time? Remnant Zhu doesn't think that Wu Zixu's request is just an ordinary request.
