It is said that the warrior was led into the palace hall by the guards with swords, and he followed the palace calmly with a steady gait, unhurried, and calmly. Kneel down and stand on one side. King Wu saw that this person had a strange face and eyes like a torch, and he was also very fond of it. I asked my name and surname, learned about my family history, and after knowing that I was a nobleman of Chu State, I respected it even more. It is also very much in line with one's own wishes to use state affairs as opposed to military members. I saw that he spoke in an orderly manner, and he had a lot of tricks in his chest, and he could be called a great talent, and King Wu had the heart to use it.

King Wu asked, "Sir is from the Chu State, and he must know the state affairs of the Chu State very well. The widow heard that the king of Chu listened to slander and forced Xiangguo to fight to death; Destroyed Mr. Wu's family; borrowed the hands of others, except for the prince of Chu. According to Sir, can I do anything at this time? ”

After hearing this, the soldiers wept silently, and then they told how their father was calculated by the traitors, how the king of Chuping was stupid, listened to the slander, and used the trick to kill the Wu family. Talking about a handful of snot and a handful of tears.

Wu Yuan said: "Now the king of Chu has destroyed the Great Wall, and the villain is far away from the virtuous ministers, although it is a country of a thousand times, but it is rotten wood that cannot be carved, and the building will fall." The foreign ministers thought that the king had made great achievements and won the princes, so he must first break Chu, pacify the south first, and then lead the army to look north, and the hegemony could be achieved! ”

King Wu felt a little pity and asked, "Sir suffered this great calamity, I heard that Sir has a strange mind and a talent to help the world. If you want to take revenge on your family, why do you go to my country alone? Why not turn to the great powers such as Jin and Qi? ”

In front of King Wu, the soldiers talked eloquently about the general trend of the world: "Although the Jin State is the overlord, it is already yesterday's yellow flower, and the majesty is no longer there. Now the six secretaries of the Jin State are dictatorial, the monarch is weak and the ministers are strong, the state affairs are lax, and the foreign is strong and the middle is just dry. And it is far away from Chu, and there are Song, Zheng, Cai and other vassal states of Chu in the middle. Therefore, the Jin Kingdom is not the first choice for ministers. The same is true for the Qi State and the Jin State, both of which have already declined. And Wu State borders Chu State, and has a natural granary, and there is no education, the folk customs are fierce, such as the sunrise in the East, as long as there is a heart strategy, it will be able to dominate one side. Therefore, the minister fled here to help the king show his ambition to travel thousands of miles. ”

King Wu pondered for a moment. He asked, "According to the gentleman, what should the widow do?" ”

"The foreign ministers fled here today, firstly, because Wu and Chu are old enemies, and I hope that the king can borrow a teacher from me, and the minister will lead the division to help the king attack Chu; Second, the king of Chu is mediocre, and the traitorous army is abolished, which is a good time to attack Chu. Don't miss it! ”

I didn't want Dazai He Xiong to come out of class at this time, and reminded King Wu: "The king's new minister of humerus should be celebrated." But the warrior had just returned to Wu, and he could only hear his words. When the affairs of the great kingdom were decided, the conquest began, and the people and money were lost; The minister thought that the matter of cutting Chu had to be discussed again. ”

King Wu thought carefully for a while, weighed it, and thought that the soldier was reasonable, and his succession was a bit far-fetched, so he could use the army to show off his eloquence and strategy, prove that he was not a mere person, and he could add some points to his politics, so he agreed to the request of the soldier. The military officer is the position of a doctor, treated with courtesy, given a house and manor, can participate in state affairs, and after the soldiers and horses are rectified, and the grain and grass are arranged, the army will be sent out on the day to attack Chu.

On that day, the warriors stayed in the mansion of King Wu Xinci, had dinner in the evening, and entered the quiet room. He lit incense and candles in front of the ancestral tablet, made offerings, and swore an oath:

The unfilial warriors comforted their ancestors: To be brutalized by traitors, deceived the king, caused the king of Chu to destroy my martial arts family, and I was the only one who escaped, like a lost dog and a fish that slipped through the net. Today, I am fortunate to have the green eyes of King Wu, which can give me the hope of revenge. When one day I can hold the authority of Wu State, I will definitely wave the Chu State and avenge the blood of my Wu family!

The warriors sacrificed to their ancestors and came to the study, these attendants were all newly selected, and they were not very familiar, only the housekeeper Wu Zhong became familiar with them after a few faces. So he summoned Wu Zhong and met with the guards and chamberlains in the palace, and he had the intention of settling down here.

On this day, when he was idle, he rode his horse, hung up his bow, and whipped all the way to the suburbs, looking for a place to shoot. While he was searching, he found a fawn looking in the woods, so he chased after him across his horse. When he was trying to catch up, he saw a small river in front of him, and the fawn was nowhere to be seen. The soldiers jumped off their horses, tied the reins to the trees, and began to walk. When I looked down, I saw an old angler by the river, wearing a bamboo fence, leisurely looking at the fishing rod, as if he didn't see the warrior.

The warrior stepped forward and clasped his fists and saluted the old man: "May I ask the old man, the water here is very fast, and it is not easy to fish." ”

The old man stood up and returned the salute: "The old man is not here for fishing, but for others to fish the world." Dare to ask, is Mr. a fugitive military doctor from the Chu State? ”

The warriors were very surprised that in this remote place, there were people who could hide the general trend of the world, exhale their names and surnames, and know their own life experience. So he was shocked: "Ask sir, since you know where my warriors are coming, you must have something to teach me today, and I will definitely listen to it." ”

The old man asked: "The doctor escaped from the Chu country, now I am in the country of narrow-mindedness, voted for the king of Wu, I will definitely be able to get the king's reuse, I don't know if the doctor has recently been in the court, what reward is there?" ”

The warrior looked at the old man, with a childish face and a light step. After hesitating for a long time, he said: "King Wu has pity on me for being a loyal martyr, I was killed at the hands of traitors, and now I have been named a doctor, and my king has promised that he will help me take revenge when the time is ripe." ”

The old man shook his head and said slowly: "King Wu's ascension to the throne is not stable, and the appearance of peace is actually internal and external troubles. ”

The warrior said that he had not yet done so yet, and was waiting for the opportunity to repay the grace of King Wu.

The old man also said: "Since the doctor has not made any contribution to our country, then will the king of Wu Weishenme risk the conquest of Chu for the sake of the doctor's national strength, and put his own country in a dangerous situation?" Let's talk about Wu weak and Chu strong. In my opinion, King Wu will not reuse the doctor, nor will he avenge the doctor. There is one person who appreciates the doctor's talent and has the heart to make friends, but I don't know what the doctor wants? ”

"Who dare to ask who is the green eye? What virtue and ability do my warriors have, and what can be appreciated by sages? ”

"Wu Gongzi Ji Guang, now the secretary of Wu and the cousin of King Wu, is accepting guests. With the talent of a doctor, Childe will definitely help a doctor achieve a career! ”

The warrior smiled: "According to my observation, Gongzi Jiguang has always harbored the ambition of disobedience and often harbors resentment, and I will not defect to him." Sir, say no more! ”

The doctor also knew that when Gongzi Jiguang's father Zhu Fan was the king of Wu, he passed the throne to his second brother Yu Shi after his death. After the rest of the sacrifice was driven, it was passed on to Yi Wu in turn, which is now the father of Wu Wang. Passing on the younger brother is not the son, and I am ready to pass it on like this, and I always want to pass it on to the third brother Ji Za, because Ji Za is the most virtuous. I didn't want Ji Za to be the king, so I ran away and hid, but after Yi Yu died, his son Wang Gong inherited his father's throne, and this throne was originally to be passed to Gongzi Ji Guang according to the rules, and I didn't want the prince to occupy it, what do you think Gongzi would think? In order to appease the son, Wu Wangyi made the prince Ji Guang the secretary. ”

"I've heard about it, too, but the king of Wu has already ascended the throne, so why bother to cause trouble and bring the people into the fire pit?

"The king's character is brutal and ferocious, and he is not suitable to be the lord of the Wu country, and the country should be built by the sage."

"I won't defect to Gongzi today, and of course I won't reveal your plans, so let's do it myself." The warrior interrupted the old man's words, said goodbye, and rode away.

Soon after the warrior went, a man in a robe came out of the woods, and it was he who was left. He stepped forward and said to the old man: "Mr. Zhuang, since the warriors will not defect to Gongzi, Mr. Fufu will go back and tell Gongzi that he will design from it, and he must not let King Wu reuse him, let alone let him lead the army to attack Chu, so as to repay his will for revenge." If the warrior can't complete his ambition of revenge, he may turn to Childe, and in short, we will force him to Childe's side. If he follows the king, we will make him unable to do anything, so that he can be used for me. The two conspired for a while more before they parted.

In the morning of that day, the ministers arranged the court class and discussed some state affairs. Shangqing Ji Guang stood up and said to King Wu: "Did you hear that the king is going to send an army to attack the state of Chu?" ”

King Wu nodded: "What is Brother Wang's opinion?" The soldiers are facing great enmity, and the state of Chu is a good time to send troops. ”

Ji Guang shook his head and said, "That's just a one-sided remark by the soldiers. The minister has read all the history books, and he has never heard of a country using an army for a fugitive guest. The army is a major weapon of the country, and it is not a child's play, and it cannot be moved blindly. The king thought carefully: If you go out to attack Chu, it is good to win, but if you have to kill 10,000 enemies and lose 3,000, how much national strength will it cost? What do we get? Besides, once defeated, the consequences are also very serious, not only the loss of military strength, the consumption of grain and grass, the consumption of national strength, but also more likely to shake the foundation of the country, I don't think it is possible! ”

After hearing this, King Wu was so shocked that he left the table and said in appreciation: "Thanks to Brother Wang's reminder, Daigo has been empowered." The widow didn't think about it, and almost made a big mistake. So he gave up the idea of cutting Chu.

When the soldiers saw that their efforts had vanished in an instant, they were a little indignant. So he went out of the class to defend himself, but King Wu had already made up his mind and no longer listened to him. The soldier was unable to submit his resignation.

Ji Guang made a statement to King Wu again, and by the way, he put on a small shoe for the soldiers: "The soldiers are small-minded, and when they heard that the king did not send troops to avenge him, they played a petty role, and even the official position of the doctor had to be resigned, and such things were not done by the virtuous ministers!" ”

King Wu was also a little angry, and it was not easy to expel this guy, after all, others came thousands of miles to vote, and they couldn't be too much, right? So he agreed to the soldier's request for resignation, and rewarded him with a hundred acres of land in Yangshan, not far from the capital, so that he could go to farming and live by himself.

After accepting the king's order, the soldiers had to return to the rewarded acres and become farmers with peace of mind. Actually, it's not bad, it should be regarded as an outsider, renting the land to the villagers, collecting some rent or something. On weekdays, I am also free, and I go around from time to time to make friends with some local chivalrous people.
