Chapter 231: Wu Guo intervenes

After Gou Jian left Chen Yin broken, it seemed a little redundant. Because Yang Zilu was not prepared to attack Linggu immediately. Because Yang Zilu knew that as long as Gou Jian had a boat master, he would have no way to leave Gou Jian. Instead of the hard and rapid march to attack Linggu, and finally watch Gou Jian leave, it is better to take a good rest in Huiji City and then attack Linggu.

During the period of recuperation, Yang Zilu also received a good news that Ou Pijiang came to report that the general of the Yue Kingdom, Euyang, was willing to surrender. Yang Zilu was overjoyed when he heard this, this was the first high-ranking official of the Yue Kingdom to defect to the Han State, and Yang Zilu had not captured the officials at the level of the Yue State doctor before, but they all swore not to surrender. This is of great significance to the Han Kingdom, Yang Zilu immediately met with A.S. in person, and named A.S. Yang as a middle doctor, with the rank of quasi-colonel, and Linggu County doctor.

After Yu Yu learned the news, he immediately came over and admonished Yang Zilu: "Lord, Euyang has just surrendered, and you use him so much, doesn't this make your subordinates dissatisfied?" And he is not strong enough, since he can surrender to the Lord, he can naturally surrender to Goujian! Surrender to the others! How can you take on the responsibility? ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he laughed a lot, and then explained to Yu Yu: "You are right, you are right, you are indeed a person with a simple will. To put it bluntly, it's the grass on the wall, and when the wind is strong over there, he falls to that side. But you don't recognize one thing. He lives in the court of the Yue Kingdom and is familiar with the situation of the Yue Kingdom. With him, we are more aware of the country. And Yu Yu said that A.N. Yang would surrender to others, and the widow believed it, but the oligarch would not believe that A.S. could surrender to Goujian. Because he knew that if he surrendered, even if the car did not break, he would not escape death. And Wu Guo is also unlikely, Wu Guo and Yue Guo are probably already wearing a pair of pants now. You say that in this way, what will Ayan Yang do in order to save his life? ”

"Fight to the death!" Yu Yu thought about it for a while, and then he reacted, and said in a lost voice. As soon as the words fell, Yu Yu couldn't help but admire: "The Lord is really a very human being, and he has insight into people's hearts like ordinary sight!" ”

Yang Zilu smiled proudly, and just wanted to say something, Remnant Zhu walked in hurriedly, and his face was a little solemn to interrupt Yang Zilu, who was about to speak, and said, "Lord, there is news from Wu Guo!" ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, her face immediately changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?" Did Wu send troops? ”

"Hmm!" Remnant Zhu nodded vigorously and handed Yang Zilu a roll of straw paper that translated the password.

Yang Zilu took it and carefully scanned the straw paper. Although Yang Zilu had already been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel like he was being discussed by Wu Guo's court. In the court of the Yue Kingdom, it was simply one-sided on whether to send troops to the Han Kingdom. Wu Zixu and Bo Yao's two major formations rarely have the same idea, and they both strongly demand that their husbands send troops.

The only thing that made Yang Zilu feel that he didn't know whether to be sarcastic or moved. Wu Ming, who he was full of selfishness, was the only one who spoke for him in the court, but before Wu Ming's words were finished, he was interrupted by his father Wu Zixu. This made Yang Zilu a little embarrassed. Putting down Wu Ming, Yang Zilu thought of an important question again, Linggu!

Seeing Yang Zilu put down the straw paper, his brows were tightly locked, he knew what Yang Zilu was worried about, and a rare smile appeared on his solemn face, and he interjected: "There is another thing, Lord, Gou Jian abandons Shoulinggu!" ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, she was stunned, and immediately laughed and said, "God really help me!" Gou Jian really made a big stupid move this time! Ha! Ha! Ha! ……”

Linggu is located to the south of Zhejiang Province and is strategically located. The section of the river is very gentle, which is very suitable for large armies to cross and erect pontoon bridges. If Gou Jian controls Linggu, Yang Zilu may fall short in this battle. Because the country of Yue is now the area of Shaoxing, needless to say, the terrain is all plains, at most a few lonely mountains, and there is no danger to defend.

Only Zhejiang can be called the only natural danger that can be defended. Once the Wu army arrived, and Gou Jian controlled the bridgehead of Linggu. Even if Yang Zilu was unwilling in his heart, he could only lead the army to retreat to the mainland of the Han Dynasty and avoid the edge of the Wu army in the mountains. Even the homeland of the country is in no danger to defend, and Yang Zilu is estimated to have to give it to Gou Jian, which is really a loss for his wife and soldiers.

Some people may say, why don't you fight with your husband? How many soldiers and horses did Wu have? 100,000 armoured soldiers. It's not as good as the Yue Kingdom that has been crippled by the Wu Kingdom! And Yang Zilu plus the surrender of troops, the soldiers and horses on hand are only in the early 4,000s, and when Yang Zilu wants to fight to the death with Wu Guo, it is also powerless.

Although Gou Jian made a faint move, Yang Zilu also had to prevent Gou Jian from coming back to his senses.

In order to prevent long nights and dreams, Yang Zilu immediately asked Mang Gao to lead 600 cavalry to march quickly and take over Linggu. Because Gou Jian's soldiers and horses are too small now, and there are too many left, Gou Jian has no troops on hand, and if he stays small, it is just for Yang Zilu, so Gou Jiansuo surnamed Gou brought all the soldiers and horses to Li Li. Let Mang Gao not even need to attack the city, and directly take over Linggu.

By the time Gou Jian received the news that Wu had sent troops, it was too late, and Gou Jian simply regretted his intestines. Gou Jian immediately asked Chen Yin to lead 300 Vietnamese troops back to defend Linggu. However, when Chen Yin led the soldiers and horses to the river, the people had not yet crossed the river, and they had already seen the banner of the Han army hanging on the head of the city. Gou Jian's health was not very good, first he was devastated by his husband for three years in Wu State, and when he returned to Yue Country to show his determination, he was not very good.

Not long ago, Yang Zilu was so angry that he vomited blood twice, and now he found that he had made a big mistake, which was likely to lead to the destruction of the Yue country, and Gou Jian couldn't hold it both physically and mentally. After Gou Jian vomited a mouthful of blood, he fell ill on the bed.

Although Yang Zilu knew the news that Gou Jian was sick, he was happy for a while, and Yang Zilu couldn't be happy. The exact number of troops used by Wu to intervene in this battle has come out. There are 20,000 soldiers of Wu and 600 military vehicles!

When Yang Zilu heard this, he couldn't help but smack his tongue, Wu Guo deserved to be a quasi-hegemon. According to the calculation of the arrival of 100,000 armored soldiers of Wu State, wouldn't Wu State's military chariot be 3,000 times? Yang Zilu really couldn't imagine what the situation would be like once the three thousand military vehicles were dispatched together. It is estimated that the three big countries of Qi, Chu, and Jin can compete with it, and other countries may only be dumbfounded, which strengthens Yang Zilu's heart to defend Zhejiang.

However, Yang Zilu was not too afraid of Wu Guo, because he had more than 230,000 stones seized from the grain merchants as the bottom. Yang Zilu was very arrogant, and urgently recruited 4,000 soldiers from the Sanyi tribe, the Shanyue people, and the vassal states of the Han State, although these soldiers were poorly equipped. However, because he lives in the poor mountains and bad waters, his bravery is three points better than that of Wu Jun.

In this way, the Han army reached 8,000 soldiers and horses, and Yang Zilu left 500 people to garrison in Huiji City. Linggu left 7,000 soldiers and horses, and Yang Zilu was also stationed in Linggu personally. The other 500 people were handed over to Ou Pijiang, plus the 500 people of the Yue Kingdom recruited in the Yue Kingdom, stationed in other places on the south bank of Zhejiang, and set up a beacon tower every 20 miles, and once something happened, Mang Gao would lead the cavalry to support.

This is not the end, Yang Zilu sent 300 soldiers who were familiar with the surname Shui, and in addition to the rivers in the Linggu area, other rivers that may become Wu's army to cross the river were set up in the water. If Wu Jun didn't know that he hit this dark pile, it would be the result of the ship's destruction and death. This also confined the battlefield to the Linggu stretch of the river.

In Linggu, Yang Zilu also asked the soldiers to build two four-zhang high earth mountains by the river, and a total of 20 ballistas and 30 different types of trebuchets were urgently transported from the Han Kingdom.

As an aside, the envoy sent by the Yue Kingdom was Zheji, and Yang Zilu put him under house arrest.

Time passed little by little, and in the urgent preparations of the Han army, Wu's army finally arrived on the north bank of Zhejiang in late March.

Three hundred military vehicles lined up, the flags were held high, one by one, the banners of Wu characters, and the banners of the major doctors, showing in the wind on the north bank of Zhejiang. The 20,000-strong army seemed to cover the sky, and there was no end in sight.

"The husband is really generous!" Yang Zilu smiled disapprehantly.

As soon as Yang Zilu finished speaking, he saw a raft carried out, and there were three people sitting on it, one was a boatman, one was an attendant, and the other was dressed as a doctor.

"What does this mean? Does the Lord want someone to shoot him? Seeing this, Yu Yu was a little dumbfounded, and asked Yang Zilu.

Yang Zilu waved his hand, signaling that the imperial guard did not need to be nervous, and said: "The widow sees the husband as the first salute and then the soldier, let people wait for the messenger to come, and then bring him over to see the widow!" ”

When the emperor heard this, he was stunned and asked, "Lord, don't you need to send a doctor to meet him?" I'm afraid this is not in line with etiquette! ”

Yang Zilu pursed her lips and said disapprovingly: "Now that the war is going on, what etiquette are you talking about!" ”

When Remnant Zhu heard this, he frowned and said: "Lord, the country of the rites and the society, how can you ignore the number of rites?" Isn't it ironic that what the Lord has done is a barbarian act? ”

Kan Pingtian, who had just rushed over from the Han Kingdom, also spoke: "Lord, Yan Zi Zeng Yun: 'The monarch orders the ministers to be together, and the etiquette can be for the country!'" It follows from this that without courtesy, there is no distinction between kings and ministers, and how can the Lord ignore this? ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, who said that the Spring and Autumn Rites collapsed, and as soon as the people under his command said the word etiquette, they couldn't wait to give you a dead advice. Yang Zilu nodded with a wry smile and said, "Okay, the widow knows it's wrong." Then Lao Kan, let you pick up the envoy of Wu State! ”

"No!" When Kan Pingtian and others heard this, they showed a look of relief, and Kan Pingtian saluted Yang Zilu and responded in a deep voice.
