Chapter 57 Flat Waves

The king of Wu took care of the state of Wu to strengthen the army and the people, and encouraged farmers to build water conservancy. The granaries began to plunge, and the arsenals were filled with weapons; killed the king's bureaucrats first, and got rid of the big trouble of Qingji, which is just like the sky.

Wu Yuan even used psychological politics to assist King Wu. A generation of male lords and a generation of capable ministers are sharpening their knives, wanting to raise troops to the south to avenge the soldiers.

However, the state of Chu had already messed up on its own. We have to start all over again. returned to the king's bureaucracy and was killed by the dictators; Cover. The second general of Candle Yong was sent to attack Chu, and was trapped in the land of Qianyi by Jie Wan and Shen Yinshu.

It is said that General Wu and General Candle Yong left 20,000 soldiers to flee alone overnight and fled to a small country for refuge. Wu Bingqun has no leader, how can there be a heart to fight? So he fled in all directions, trying to return to his homeland. But the Wu soldiers were cut off from their way back by the water army of Qiwan, and those who fled fled and killed were killed. The Wu army was scattered, and most of the remnants were captured by the water army of Qiwan.

The generals of the Chu soldiers knew that the king of Wu was killed by his son Ji Guang, and a palace coup d'Γ©tat occurred in the state of Wu, and Lu was newly established as the king. All the generals have the heart to take the opportunity to attack Wu. Helplessly, Wan vigorously objected, believing that it was not the way of heaven to take advantage of the death of the enemy country. Zuo Sima Shen Yinshu did not insist anymore, and the second general reorganized the troops and horses, set up border defenses, left troops to garrison the Qianyi area, and led troops back to the capital.

On that day, he led the soldiers he led, carrying all kinds of captured things, and passed through the long street of Yingdu. King Zhao of Chu also specially sent a guard of honor to greet him out of the city to greet him; In the city of Yingdu, the flag is fluttering. It is rare for the state of Chu to have such a morale-boosting victory. Although this battle has a bit of a cheap taste, it is of great significance to boost the morale of the Chu State and the people.

But it was like meeting Taishi Fei Wuji on the long street of Yingdu. Because after the death of King Chuping and the succession of King Zhao of Chu, the Queen Mother Meng Huan and King Xiong Ren of Zhao both avoided Fei Wuji, and Wuji fell out of favor and left the power center of Chu. But Fei Wuji was unwilling, and he always didn't want to make a comeback.

In the current state of Chu, the government is controlled by Xiangguo Nangwa. The queen mother lives in the deep palace and is a woman; King Zhao is just an ignorant teenager, and national affairs cannot be arbitrary, so Nangwa is powerful in Chu State. Fei Wuji was unwilling to lose his position, and always wanted to fish in troubled waters in the current situation in front of him.

And Di Wan is a pure and good person, and he has long hated Fei Wuji for being favored and disorderly when he was in the Ping Dynasty, and now that this guy has lost power, everyone secretly declares that he is willing. But Wan sat on the carriage, pretended not to see him, and was surrounded by guards, all the way to the palace hall.

However, on the carriage on the side of the road, the thin old man had an eerie murderous look in his triangular eyes. He twisted his beard, a sneer appeared on his face, and he snorted coldly in his nose.

However, Wan and Zuo Sima Shen Yinshu returned to the dynasty victoriously, offering thousands of prisoners and countless armor to the Wu State. King Zhao was overjoyed, and half of the armor he received was given to Zuo Yinwan as a reward.

King Zhao carefully inquired about the battle, and knew that Wan was extremely wise and brave, and was the pillar of the country, so from then on, King Zhao often consulted with each other in state affairs, and was very respectful to Danwan, and was increasingly favored by King Zhao.

At this time, although Fei Wuji lost power, he was always paying attention to the government and politics, and he was favored by King Zhao, and he was the object of King Zhao's cultivation, and there was a tendency to succeed Xiangguo. Thinking that if this person is in power, he will never be able to come out. So Fei Wuji was thinking about getting rid of Qiwan all day long.

One day, Fei Wuji visited the home of General Yin Yan on the right. Wuji knew that there was a gap between General Yan and Yan Wan, so he deliberately asked: "Zuo Yin sent troops to retreat from Wu this time, and he made immortal achievements. The king was very favored. I wonder what Lord Youyin thinks? ”

General Yan has always been very dissatisfied with Yan Wan living above him (in ancient times, the left was the top, but Wan was the left Yin, which was naturally higher than the right Yin Yan). Seeing Fei Wuji mention it, he said angrily: "He is a foreign horseman, and his father fled from the Jin Kingdom. Now on top of me, I am unwilling. What is the best way to teach me? ”

Fei Wuji said softly: "I have a plan to help You Yin make a wish." Do you think, as long as Wan Wan dies, isn't Zuo Yin's position yours? ”

So General Yan went over with his ears and listened to Fei Wuji's strategy to eradicate Qi Wan, and the plan of the two had been decided.

At this time, it was early spring, and the family of the scholars and eunuchs often met to travel in groups, go out of the city to enjoy the flowers, and appreciate the weather of the grass growing and the warbler flying in spring, and the recovery of all things. Fei Wuji visited Xiangguo Nangwa, and wanted to lead his family to go out on March 3, Wuji searched very carefully, and even inquired very clearly about the route, destination, and departure time.

Therefore, Fei Wuji's encounter with Xiang Guo in the same place on March 3 became intentional or unintentional.

As a ritual, naturally, it is necessary for Wuji to pay homage to the prime minister. Encountering in the wilderness in this spring, Xiangguo Nangwa later learned that this visit to Wuji was simply harboring evil intentions and was part of Wuji's plan to get rid of Qiwan.

Xiangguo Nangwa let his retinue sit for the Taishi. The two sat in the spring sunshine, surrounded by guards who were holding on to the young lady, concubines, and sons. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, nothing more than talking about some beautiful spring scenery, and occasionally saying a few words about the DPRK and China.

Fei Wuji was contemplative, and it took him a long time to remember, and he said to Nangwa: "It seems that I am also old, and my memory is too poor." A few days ago, Zuo Yin asked me to give a message to Xiangguo. Hey, I almost forgot. ”

Nangwa asked what was the matter. Wuji said: "Because Zuo Yin received the reward of my king, as a subordinate, he wanted to invite Xiangguo to his house for a banquet and drink to show respect." But he was worried that Sangkook would refuse. Also, if Xiangguo can't get rid of it, this person is thin-faced, and he is afraid of losing face. So let the old man come to explore Xiangguo's tone first. ”

Nangwa Haha smiled: "This is really a shallow person. All are officials in the same dynasty, although I am a subordinate, but I am never proud, I want to refuse? Please tell him that as long as he sincerely asks, I will definitely be willing to go to his house to disturb him. ”

When the goal was achieved, naturally, Fei Wuji said goodbye and left, and no longer went out to enjoy the flowers, so he hurried back to the city. Drive directly to the home of Yin Wanwan.

Although Di Wan was puzzled, he had never had any friendship with this guy, why did he come to the door today without incident? But Wan had no choice but to bite the bullet and welcome Wuji into the house.

The guests and hosts are seated. But Wan said a few polite words, and asked Wuji's intention.

Wuji said: "The old man chatted with Xiangguo a few days ago, and Xiangguo mentioned it to me. Zuo Yin retired from Wu last time and made a great contribution. Now Zuo Yin is favored by the king, and his prestige is rising, and the prime minister has the intention of coming to the house to congratulate. But I don't know if Zuo Yin is willing to prepare a drink. Therefore, Xiangguo sent the old man to find out what Zuo Yin meant, and if Zuo Yin did not refuse, I would report it to Xiangguo to know. ”

But Wan didn't know what the plan was, and said in surprise: "I'm a subordinate bureaucrat, and Xiangguo is willing to come to the Humble House, how can I not obey the order?" Tomorrow, I can ask Xiangguo to drive in vain, I should prepare drinking utensils and drink with Xiangguo. Please tell the prince what the lower officials mean. ”

Wuji pondered, and kindly reminded: "Since Zuo Yin respectfully invites Xiangguo, but I don't know what Zuo Yin is going to do to honor Xiangguo?" ”

"But I don't know what Sangkook's hobbies are. As far as I know, the king and the queen mother have given him countless riches, and what else do I have here that he can look at? But he knew that Nangwa had the name of bribery, and he didn't know what he could be honored.

Wuji smiled, "Xiang Guo's favorite thing is well-made weapons and armor. Last time, Zuo Yin captured a lot, and the king rewarded thousands of soldiers. The armor and blades of the Wu Kingdom are famous all over the world! Why didn't Zuo Yin choose the best goods from them and give them to Xiangguo. If Zuo Yin follows my arrangement, Xiangguo will definitely be overjoyed. ”

But seeing that Wuji was right, he ordered his entourage to select 200 pieces from the treasury and send them to the main hall immediately.

In the middle of the night, the armor sent 200 pieces of sharp blade armor, but Wan and Wuji carefully selected them, and selected 50 more pieces.

Wuji said: "When Xiangguo came to drink, Zuo Yin showed his armor blade for Xiangguo to appreciate." However, if these armor swords were hung like this or stacked on the ground, they would not have any effect. Tomorrow, it is better to let some armor soldiers wear these armors, hold sharp blades, and display them in the hall, so that Xiangguo can see it more realistically, and the effect will be better. ”

However, thinking that Xiangguo likes strong armor blades, there is nothing wrong with letting soldiers wear them for display, and he nodded in agreement.

Wuji said again: "When Xiangguo didn't come, in order not to give people a handle, Zuo Yin still used a curtain to cover these armor blades first, so as not to be seen by outsiders. ”

But I thought so. One by one, according to Wuji's instructions, he made careful preparations for the arrival of Xiangguo Nangwa, and asked Wuji to tell Xiangguo about the drinking period. However, all this is digging a self-grave.
