Chapter 240: Wu Zixu's Purpose

After returning to the barracks, Remnant Zhu immediately told Yang Zilu everything about the matter.

Yang Zilu thought about it for a long time, and had some understanding in his heart, but he didn't understand it too much, so he asked Remnant Zhu to find Kan Pingtian, Hou Xiong, Ayapin, Chonghu, Ayang, Yu Xiao, and Xia Hu Roar These doctors to serve as consultants.

After Rean Zhu once again finished talking about the envoy's journey, after about a quarter of an hour of thinking time, Yang Zilu asked, "What do you think of Wu Zixu's invitation?" ”

"A lot of purpose!" Hou Xiong said.

When many people heard this, they all frowned, and some were not satisfied with Hou Xiong's words, there were many purposes? What does this mean?

Hou Xiong explained: "The minister is here to explain, the minister thinks that Wu Zixu didn't really want to fight with the lord this time, he may have put the lord under house arrest at that time in order to attract the lord to you." Although it is said that the place of Huimeng is on a small island in the river only a mile away from the south of the Yangtze River, it is almost twice as close as the north of the river. It stands to reason that it should be very beneficial to my Han Kingdom. The distance allows Han to escape faster if it is time to escape. If we want to catch the husband, this double distance is enough for us to catch the husband. But is that really the case? ”

Hearing this, except for Yang Zilu, who showed an appreciative smile, everyone else showed thoughtful expressions. Hou Xiong continued: "There is no boat master in the Han Kingdom, not a single warship!" However, Wu was different, although their boat division lost part of the war, there were still about eighty-five or six warships of various types. In other words, if they have the right timing, they can completely trap the Lord on the island! ”

"How is that possible? Even if Wu Jun was ready, the distance from Jiangbei to the island was nearly two miles, and even if they were ready, the two-mile journey would be enough for them to walk for a quarter of an hour. A quarter of an hour is not enough time for the Lord to take a boat from the island back to Gangnam? Mitsu questioned.

Although facing doubts, Hou Xiong was not annoyed at all, but said with a solemn face: "This is Wu Zixu's power, if Hou Xiong is not wrong, Wu Zixu is ready to arrange the warship upstream, and it doesn't matter if the distance is a little farther and the warship is smaller, because this can make it easier to hide people's eyes!" ”

When Kan Pingtian heard this, he frowned and said: "I think I probably understand what you mean by Hou Xiong, assuming that Wu Zixu let the Wu army's warships line up in Jiangbei, then do you think our attention will be placed here?" And with so many warships, they won't be so easy to spot, and they can be slightly transformed with other requisitioned troop carriers to disguise themselves as battlefields? After all, looking at the past from the south of the Yangtze River, it is three miles or nearly four miles away, and it is not surprising that Wu Jun's disguise cannot be found. And at this time, the warships ambushed by the Wu army were going down the river from upstream, as long as they chose a time that was not a headwind, no! With Wu Zixu's ability, I'm afraid that the wind direction of the alliance on the day was also predicted by him! I'm afraid that a time of the west wind will be specially chosen, and when the time comes, those warships will come by the wind and waves, even if the distance is a little farther, twenty or thirty miles, or even fifty miles, and by the time we find out, the speed has reached an extreme, so that we can't react. At that time, even if it is just a warship, it will be enough to block the link between the island and Jiangnan, and we can only watch the Lord being trapped on the island, and finally press Jiangbei! ”

When the ministers heard this, their faces couldn't help but change slightly, and they were shocked by Kan Pingtian's inference. Ayato hesitated for a while, and said, "Won't it?" If the husband does this, I am afraid that his faith in the vassal kingdom will be lost! ”

"Gone?" Kan Pingtian sneered and said: "Don't talk about the husband, Wu is among the vassal states, in addition to force, what else does he have to believe in?" I'm afraid you all know how Fucha's father, Lu Lu, ascended to the throne of the king, but do you know what year it was? It was the thirteenth year of King Chu Ping and the first year of King Chu Zhao! In that year, King Chuping died (died, and was dedicated to the monarch in the pre-Qin period), but Wu Wangyi took the opportunity to send henchmen to the Chu State, but was taken the opportunity to assassinate Wu Wangyi by He Lu, who was still Gongzi Guang at the time, and He Lu ascended to the throne of the monarch! And Gou Jian's father, Yue Guo's ancestor Yun Chang, died, and He Lu took the opportunity to send troops to attack Yue Guo, but he was injured by Gou Jian's strategy, and he couldn't survive the pain on the way to death! And last year, Qi Jinggong of Qi State was born, and Gongzi Jiang Cha succeeded to the throne, after Gongzi Jiang Cha was young, Doctor Tian Qi and Doctor Bao Mu drove away the two clans that supported Gao and Guo, and supported Gongzi Yangsheng. However, seeing that Qi [***] was neat and tidy, he couldn't take advantage of it, so he returned to Wu State! There is also a time when the state of Wu fought the state of Chu, and it was also an undeclared war, so many behaviors, are you a poor Taoist or a saint and a gentleman? ”

Although Yang Zilu knew that the country of Wu had no faith at all, he did not expect that Wu Guo would have a bad record. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a book.

Ayapin was embarrassed by Kan Pingtian's words, Yang Zilu noticed it, and immediately comforted: "Ayapin, there is no need to be like this, the widow knows that your words are just an unintentional mistake." And the widow has already said that above the court, he will not be convicted for his words! ”

"Thank you, Lord for your forbearance!" Ayato immediately thanked him.

Yang Zilu was afraid that he would be entangled too much on this issue, so Aya Ping said to Hou Xiong: "What you just said is only one purpose, what other purposes?" ”

Before Hou Xiong could speak, Xia Hu had already spoken: "Lord, don't go if you see that alliance of soldiers." Anyway, now Ou Pijiang should have arrived in the Chu State. The State of Chu is absolutely willing for our Han State to contain the State of Wu, and will definitely send heavy troops at the border pass. And now that our Han Kingdom has destroyed almost 11,000 Wu troops, Fucha is unable to attack again. In fact, it doesn't matter if this alliance of soldiers is not there! Why should the Lord take the risk? ”

"Yes! Lord, Doctor Xia Hu said very much, now the son is only two years old, once the lord is under house arrest in Wu State, what should Han Guo do? Wouldn't this put the Han Kingdom in a place of collapse! Yu Yu said sincerely.

In the mouth of the royal eye, Gongzi is Yang Zilu's only son now, Yang Che, the son born to Yang Zilu for Xiaohu, is called Gongzi Che, but he is two years old. It is true that they are not able to take on heavy responsibilities, and how can a two-year-old child be able to serve the public? Some people may think that the doctors are loyal to Yang Zilu, and Yang Zilu's son Gongzi Che, who will work hard, will support him until he grows up.

That's actually a joke, don't look at the current doctors of the Han Kingdom who are loyal to Yang Zilu, that's because Yang Zilu can bring them victory after victory, bring them benefits, and Yang Zilu tightly grasps the military power. But once Yang Zilu is absent from the country for a long time, I am afraid that the problem will not be small, and it is likely to lead to the change of dynasty in the new country of Han, or like the West, the once-powerful Alexander Empire, which was dismembered by his powerful generals.

But Yang Zilu also has his thoughts, he remembers that Fucha's focus is on the north, in the TV series, Fucha fought with Qi State for a few zhang, and finally participated in the alliance, anyway, it was to compete for the position of hegemon. After being attacked by Goujian, the state of Wu declined. Before that, Wu defeated Qi without the courage to speak, and finally forced Jin to give up the position of overlord in the alliance. Although the state of Chu does not have a camera, it is probably not capable of stopping or fearing the state of Wu, anyway, it can be said that before Fucha was attacked by Goujian, the state of Wu was the most powerful country in the east.

If you don't pretend to be a grandson, then your husband's attention will be on you all the time. At that time, if the husband was sent to fight the Qi country, he didn't dare to say it. But what kind of alliance is fighting for the hegemony, I'm afraid that my husband will not dare to go, at least if he does not destroy himself, he will not dare to go. Of course, it is unlikely that the state of Wu wants to destroy the state of Han, and with the state of Chu on the side, it is almost like the period of the Three Kingdoms.

The three-legged tripod, but the three-legged tripod is the most stable way to maintain the troubled times in history, such as the Three Kingdoms, which has maintained two generations of nearly a hundred years of war. There is also the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Kingdom, the Western Xia, and the Liao Kingdom stood on three legs, for hundreds of years, no one could help anyone, and in the end, it was the rise of the Jin State that slightly affected this pattern.

If Yang Zilu is a gentleman of success, this may be the best outcome. But is Yang Zilu willing to spend the rest of her life doing nothing? He was only twenty-three years old this year, and he was in the prime of his life. To put it bluntly, he is a hawk and a young Zhuang figure, is he willing to waste the rest of his years in the tugging with Wu and Chu?

Yang Zilu naturally didn't want to, in order to get rid of his husband's vigilance, Yang Zilu had to pretend to be his grandson. Yang Zilu took a deep breath and said to Hou Xiong: "Go on!" ”

Xia Hu Roar and Yu Yu couldn't help frowning, but he knew that Yang Zilu had obviously made up his mind, and it was no longer something that could be changed by their words.

Hou Xiong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The minister thinks that Wu Zixu did this to see the sincerity of the Lord, and the danger in it, I am afraid that Wu Zixu would have known that we would figure it out." But he still made this request, which was to look at the people of the Lord. Maybe he told his husband that it was to see the Lord's sincerity in this alliance of soldiers, but in Wu Zixu's view, he wanted to see what kind of person the Lord was, and if it endangered the Wu State, then he would not hesitate to put the Lord under house arrest or even behead him. ”

Speaking of this, Hou Xiong paused, and then continued: "Another purpose, I'm afraid Wu Zixu wants to take the opportunity to force the Lord to surrender!" In fact, until now, I don't know what Wu Zixu's purpose is! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he nodded and said, "What you said is not wrong, Wu Zixu is an old fox, how could he be so easy for you to figure out his purpose!" However, the widow has his own way to crack Wu Zixu's strategy! ”

When the ministers heard this, their faces were overjoyed, and they asked, "Lord, don't you know what plan to come up with?" ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he smiled and said: "Keep it secret for the time being, the remnants of the bamboo stay, you go down!" ”

Although the ministers were curious about what Yang Zilu's strategy was, what did it mean to leave the remnants of the bamboo? Did you tell him that plan? Although his heart was itching, the ministers still retreated.

It's just that Remnant Zhu's face was a little unkind when he came out, and the others asked him what was going on, but Remnant Zhu had a complicated expression, and he wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he said that the Lord had ordered him to keep it secret.

This makes people more and more curious, on the second day of the remnant bamboo's return, the remnant bamboo set off again, but the re-departure is very hidden, the ministers just know that the remnant bamboo has set off, and they don't know when the remnant bamboo will set off. Several doctors who had a good relationship with Remnant Zhu were a little regretful and complained that Remnant Bamboo didn't tell them so that they could see them off.

When Remnant Zhu came, the husband didn't care too much, but he still called Wu Zixu, Bo Yao, and Wang Sunluo, three important ministers of the country, to come to the side of the Chinese army's big tent to staff officers.

Remnant Zhu walked into the tent, and when he saw his husband, he didn't know how greasy it was, but he still had to pretend to be respectful to his husband and knelt down, kowtowed, and said: "Foreign minister Remnant Zhu, I've seen Xiangguo!" I've seen the king! ”

When the husband heard this, he couldn't help frowning, have you seen Xiangguo? Wu Zixu, this old horseman, is actually in front of me, hum! It's so hateful! However, in front of Wu Zixu's face, the husband almost had a seizure, so he gave Bo Yao a look.

Bo Yao immediately understood, of course, Wu Zixu also knew the words in the mouth of the remnant bamboo, but as a party to this matter, it was not easy for him to ask questions or explain it. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will backfire, and this matter will become darker and darker.

Bo Yao squinted a pair of small eyes and asked with a warm face, "Oh? Why did the envoy just visit Wu Xiangguo just now? Isn't it true that Bo Yagui is Dazai? ”

Remnant Zhu straightened his waist and said seriously: "Dazai's words are wrong! The remnant bamboo worships Wu Xiangguo, not that he is Xiangguo, but that he is the famous soldier Wu Zixu! Of course, Wu Xiangguo was not found, so he did not meet Xiangguo, and now he naturally specially visited Wu Xiangguo! ”

"Huh!" Bo Yao smiled indifferently: "In this way, Wu Xiangguo's fame is really big in the Han Kingdom!" ”

"That's it! There is still a saying from the Central Plains in my Han Kingdom! 'If you don't know Wu Zixu in your life, it's useless to call yourself a hero! When I heard that the children of Wu Guo did not know the name of the monarch, they also knew that Xiangguo was called Wu Zixu. Why did Dazai ask such a question? Could it be that Wu Xiangguo is not well-known in Wu State? Remnant Zhu asked suspiciously.

"That's it! Is that! Bo Yao swept over vaguely.

The husband who was sitting on the main seat, a deep jealousy flashed in his eyes, although he smiled on the surface, but in his heart, he couldn't help but repeat a few times that he didn't know Wu Zixu in his life, and it was in vain to call him a hero! The more I read these words, the more my husband's heart sank.

Wu Zixu also felt that something was getting more and more wrong, and immediately changed the topic and said: "Remnant Zhu, don't talk nonsense here, what's the matter with the man asking you to come?" ”

When Remnant Zhu heard this, he said with a look of embarrassment: "The Lord asked Remnant Bamboo to come to give the king a gift, but ......"

"But what?" Wu Zixu's two white, but undiminished sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and asked in an unkind tone.

"That's right, the Lord explained the remnants of the bamboo, this gift can only be seen by the king alone! And he said, "When the king sees this gift, he knows the heart of the Lord!" Remnant Zhu looked at Wu Zixu and Bo Yao and the other three, and said with an embarrassed face.

"Humph! Don't pretend to be a ghost here, are you doing this because you want to assassinate the king? Wu Zixu said with an angry face, exuding a killing intent, even a sword master like Remnant Zhu couldn't help but have some palpitations.

Bo Yao keenly felt that Wu Zixu's self-assertion this time made her husband a little dissatisfied, and Bo Yao immediately took the opportunity to speak: "Zixu! Why should you do that? The king is in charge of this matter! ”

Although Wu Zixu felt that he was indeed a little inappropriate just now, he made some decisions on his own. But when he asked himself that his contribution to Wu Guo was unparalleled in the country, this was just a small question, so he snorted lightly and stood aside without speaking. But he didn't know that Fucha was even more dissatisfied with him because of this, feeling that Wu Zixu ignored his monarchy.

However, as Wu Zixu himself thought, his contribution to Wu is unparalleled in the country, and his husband is not good at blaming him, so he can only grit his teeth and swallow this grievance. However, he also wanted to be disgusted and disgusted Wu Zixu, so he said calmly: "Oh, what gift Yang Zilu gave to the widow!" Since you don't want people to see it, then you can stand down! ”

"No!" Bo Yao and Wang Sunyu bowed their hands in unison.

Wu Zixu raised his eyebrows and said, "King, how can you be like this? This remnant bamboo is a master of the Han Kingdom's technical attack, in case he specializes in assassinating the king's bureaucracy and wants to leave the assassination of Qingji, how can the old minister be good? ”

The husband was also a little hesitant, and Remnant Zhu said on the side: "Wu Xiangguo only knows that he specializes in assassinating the king's bureaucrats and wants to leave the assassination Qingji, but he doesn't know why Remnant Zhu wants to assassinate the king?" Remnant Zhu said offended here, Wu has Wu Xiangguo, and he is as stable as Mount Tai! The remnant bamboo stabbed the king, but it was just to increase the hatred of the Wu country? What are the benefits of the Han Kingdom? Besides, there are more than 10,000 armor soldiers outside the tent, as long as the king gives an order, I am afraid that the remnant bamboo will not have time to act, and it will already be splashed with blood for five steps! ”

When the husband heard this, he felt that what Remnant Zhu said was very true, and he was a little dissatisfied with Wu Zixu, so he said coldly: "Xiangguo, not everyone has the wisdom of Xiangguo!" ”

On the surface, Fucha's words are praising Wu Zixu, but in fact, he is satirizing Wu Zixu. The wisdom of Xiangguo in Fucha's mouth is that Wu Zixu gave advice to He Lu, and there were two assassinations known as the four assassinations of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The difference is that just now Wu Zixu assassinated (Wu) Wang Zhi and wanted to leave the assassination of Qingji, and by using Zhuzhu and Yao Li to assassinate Wu Wang and Qingji, he let He Lu consolidate the position of the monarch.

When Wu Zixu heard this, he only felt a breath of anger rushing to his head, and that feeling was like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, which made people feel extremely aggrieved. Wu Zixu snorted coldly and said: "Since the king said so, the old minister has no opinion!" Fortunately, Xianjun is not only a son! ”

When the husband heard this, his eyes narrowed, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, but the husband didn't say anything. Bo Yao naturally saw the strangeness of the husband, but he was happy that the husband did not like Wu Zixu, so that the husband could trust him more.
