On the second day, Gou Jian Zhi Bo Yao led his troops to the outskirts of Huzhou City and hurriedly went out of the city to see Bo Yao. Bo Yao welcomed Gou Jian and his wife into the big tent of the Chinese army, and sat down as the host. Fan Li also came out to meet Gou Jian and his wife, and returned to the throne.

Gou Jian stood up and saluted: "Gou Jian offended the kingdom and brought defeat to himself. Thank you Dazai for his mediation in front of King Wu, so that our country will not be destroyed. Although Gou Jian entered Wu as a minister today, he actually threw himself under Dazai. In the future, everything that is hidden in the country of Yue belongs to Dazai! ”

Bo Yao saw that Gou Jian and his wife were dressed in coarse clothes and tied their hair with a cloth scarf, no different from the people. Nai Twist said: "Although Wu Yue is an enemy, my lord has a heart of benevolence and righteousness, and has no intention of killing them all, so I don't ask about the crime of you!" But with this official degree, my king will definitely pay attention to the performance of your and other monarchs and ministers in the Wu Kingdom. If you don't repent, even if I have three heads and six arms, I will no longer be able to help you get rid of your sins. Of course, as long as you are sincere and loyal to my king, I will try to help you return to your homeland. ”

Gou Jian thanked him again, and swore to the sky: "When I enter Wu today, I will regard myself as a servant, and I dare not have the slightest disloyalty!" If there is any violation of this statement, one day will be proof! ”

Bo Yao's face was a little calm, and he ordered Bai Zhou to lead a detachment to escort Gou Jian and his party, and he followed the army to the capital Gusu.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

It is said that the soldiers of Xiangguo left Gusu and arrived at the Taihu Lake Water Division station. He asked King Wu for his life this time, saying that he was getting old and wanted to take advantage of this time when his energy was still good to train the sailors of Taihu Lake.

He was suppressed by King Wu in the court, and for the soldiers, when he returned to the army, his heart was much more comfortable. In the power triangle of the state of Wu, the soldiers gradually began to understand that they were at a disadvantage. Wu Wangfu is getting farther and farther away from him. is no longer the son who begged himself to help him take the throne.

However, King Goujian of Yue entered Wu as a minister, which was actually a hostage to Wu. In order to gain some false fame, the husband actually violated his oath and let go of Gou Jian, which made the soldiers unable to figure it out.

"Yue Peng, how did I ask you to inquire about Gou Jian's ministers? As long as Gou Jian enters Wu, I will go back to Gusu, I can't be cheap, Gou Jian, this kid! The king was deceived by traitorous ministers, and actually promised not to destroy the country of Goujian. I'm really angry with the old man! ”

Yue Peng bowed and said: "The young general has already found out that Gou Jian and his wife have arrived in Huzhou. is on the way to Gusu. It may be six or seven days before they arrive in Gusu. ”

The soldier pondered for a long time, as if he remembered something. asked: "When King Yue and his wife enter Wu, there will definitely be Yue ministers to follow." According to the king's order, Yue Chen only allowed one person to serve Goujian. Who is the minister of the Yue Kingdom who entered Wu? ”

"I heard that it is Fan Li, the general of the Yue Kingdom."

"Fan Li? Is it Fan Li who led the army to defend on Gucheng Mountain? ”

Yue Peng nodded and said, "It's that Fan Li." The minister heard that this person has some good names in the Yue country, and he is strong in martial arts. ”

"Oh. This person held on to Gucheng Mountain for a month. Under such difficult conditions, the army did not mutiny. A strong will to fight was still preserved. This person is very powerful. The fact that there are such ministers in the country of Vietnam is a big trouble for our state of Wu. I will get rid of it! ”

Yue Peng took over the conversation, sighed, and said: "The young general estimates that the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom have already bought off Bo Ya, and Bo Yao has been helping them speak. The king was confused by Dazai again, and Xiangguo wanted to get rid of the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, but the young general thought it would be difficult. ”

The soldier glared at Yue Peng, with a look of disgruntle. Said: "I regret not listening to the words of being separated, and I will accept this calamity that day!" When the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom arrived in Gusu, they arrived at our territory, and it was not difficult to get rid of them. ”

"If the king has the heart to defend the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, if the Xiangguo wants to kill the monarchs and ministers, it is a crime of disobeying the order and killing the head. The young general thought that he would first convince the king, as long as the king agreed to get rid of Gou Jian, the matter would be easy. ”

At this time, it was already noon, and a close attendant entered the tent and invited Xiangguo to eat. Yue Peng was about to resign, but the deputy marshal of the sailor was specially helped into the account and met the soldiers. Zhuan Fu said: "The young general came back from Gusu this time, and I heard some soldiers in the army talk about something. It is said that after the king accepted the begging peace of the Yue Kingdom, he ordered the siege of Gucheng Mountain to be relieved. It is said that on this Gucheng Mountain, there are still 10,000 main forces of the Vietnamese army led by the commander Fan Li. ”

The soldier was shocked: "10,000 horses? The main force of the Vietnamese army still has tens of thousands of men and horses? Do you know where they are now? ”

Zhuan Fu said: "The king ordered the withdrawal of the army, let Dazai garrison Wushan, and grant the right to make decisions on the spot. Maybe Dazai was careless and didn't think of this. ”

The soldier snorted in his nose: "He didn't expect it, or he didn't think of it, but he wouldn't play it to the king." ”

Yue Peng said: "Yue Guo hides this main force, and its intentions are unpredictable!" ”

Wu Yuan said: "If this matter is true, then Yue Guo deliberately hid all the information of this main force. I think if the king knew the truth of the facts, he would be able to understand the sinister intentions hidden by the king's ministers. Let's take advantage of this and let the king get rid of Gou Jian to eliminate future troubles! ”

Yue Peng also felt very reasonable, and said to the soldiers: "The young general is willing to change his makeup and go to Yue Guo to visit where the main force of the Vietnamese army is, and when the truth of the matter is clarified, Xiang Guo will play the king again." ”

Wu Yuan muttered: "The monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom are not fools, and they will definitely disperse this main force so as not to attract our attention." If my analysis is correct, they will most likely break up this army into pieces, or scatter the army. If we can't get the real evidence, they won't admit it. Of course, as long as we investigate carefully, we will definitely find some clues. ”

The soldiers ordered Yue Peng to secretly enter Vietnam and visit the main force of the Vietnamese army. He also instructed special support to train the Taihu Lake sailors with heart. The state of Wu was sandwiched between the great powers of Jin, Chu and Qi, and its living environment was worrisome. In addition, there are many rivers and lakes in this southern land, and in future wars, the sailors will play a more and more important role in strategic deterrence.

After the arrangements were made, the soldiers set off from Taihu Lake. I traveled day and night all the way, but in a few days, I returned to Gusu.

Mrs. Yuqin knew that the soldiers had returned home, so she and her son Wu Feng went out of the house to greet them. Wu Yuan was first killed by King Chuping in his life, and he died alone. After he was over thirty years old and entered Wu alone, in order to be able to be reused by King Wu, the soldiers delayed a lot of time and did not start a family. Later, when he met the sword girl Yuqin, that is, the daughter of the divorced, the soldiers had their own home safely. He has a middle-aged son, and this one Wu Feng inherits the bloodline of the Wu family.

The soldier slowly got down from the carriage, and Wu Feng stepped forward and knelt down to greet his father. Yuqin came up to support the soldiers, and said with a smile: "Mr. didn't know what to toss all day, he just came back from leading the army from Yue and ran to Taihu Lake again." Don't you see your head full of white hair and a full mouth of white beard? ”

The soldier shook Yuqin's hand, straightened his chest, and said loudly: "Who said I was old?" I am more than 60 years old this year, and I can still ride my white dragon horse, and I can pull two stone hard bows. ”

Yuqin couldn't help but smile and said, "The concubine has heard before that Mr. is born with divine power and can lift a thousand catties. But now that Mr. is old, he still resigned from the position of Xiangguo to King Wu and went home to recuperate, wouldn't it be better than getting guns and sticks all day long? Besides, state affairs are cumbersome and laborious, so the concubine still persuaded Mr. to resign and go into hiding. ”

"The old man still has a lot of work to do. The first king laid down this piece of country, I have to help him watch it. King Wu is still young, and some things are still uncertain. How can the old man rest assured? ”

The soldiers didn't stop, they went all the way to the study and called the soldiers to seal in. Yuqin saw that his father and son had something to say, so he led the concubines back to the back room.

Wu Feng followed his father into the study and stood sideways. Wu Yuan said: "My father has been handsome all his life, and I don't have much time to teach you martial arts." Besides, although the generals can determine the country, most of them also die in battle. My Wu family is now the only one with a single line, so it is my father's desire to make you abandon martial arts and follow the literature, so that you can spend your life in peace. ”

Wu Feng was taught and replied: "Mother just taught the child some ordinary kung fu used for self-defense. The child is over 20 years old and has read poetry and books since he was a child. The mother means asking the father to find something to do for the child, and also for the child to exercise. ”

The soldier shook his head, and he was silent for a long time, looking out the window at the scorching sun. Half a day before he said: "When the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses." The old man has been in charge of Wu for many years, and I am also self-aware. Now both the king and some ministers of the court are suspicious of the old man. You don't have to enter the government first, just take care of this prime minister's house for your father at home. ”

The father and son chattered some more homely things, and Wu Feng said that he was tired, so Wu Feng resigned.

Wu Yuan thought to himself: "I heard that this Yue monarch has arrived in Liyang, south of Gusu, and it is only a day or two away from Gusu. When Yue Peng visited the main force of the Vietnamese army in Vietnam, it would be difficult to have a result in a day and a half, so it was better to look at the situation before making plans.
