Fei Wuji beheaded Wu Hao's father and son and returned to the palace to hand over the decree. The king of Chu calmed down and asked, "Wu Hao's father and son were tortured, what complaints do they have?" ”

Wu Hao didn't have any complaints, but he said that the soldiers did not enter the capital this time, and escaping alone would become a big disaster for the Chu State. In the future, it will definitely make the king restless and unpleasant. Relying on the talent of the soldiers, if he can escape to the state of Wu, it is indeed a hidden danger. That Wu State is a feud with us, sometimes covetous, in the past, taking advantage of the chaos to seize our state and county, such as the soldiers borrowed troops from Wu State, and attacked me endlessly, my Chu State will be exhausted! For the sake of today's plan, while the soldiers are still in the territory of Chu State, and they have not been able to escape for the time being, please ask the king to immediately send a general to lead the troops to round up the soldiers. At the same time, a pass document was issued to arrest him, and he was not allowed to get out; Lest the fish swim in the sea and let the tiger return to the mountain! ”

The king of Chu said: "Although the soldiers fled, they should not go far. After the widow issued the sea fishing papers, it was even more difficult for him to escape. Send someone to intercept and kill now, and get rid of this trouble. ”

Fei Wuji said again: "Zuo Sima Shen Yinshu is a general, and he has always made a lot of contributions, and the king can send him." ”

The king of Chu relied on Fei Wuji's plan, but sent Zuo Sima Shen Yinshu to lead 3,000 armor, and immediately rushed to pursue the soldiers. That Shen Yinshu got the king's order, immediately got on his horse and went to the barracks to order the military armor, got on the chariot, and handsome the three thousand armor soldiers, rolled up the dust and smoke all the way, and rolled east.

The soldiers retreated from the useless pustules of Wuchenghei, thinking that among the vassal states, only Wu and Chu were feuding and bordering countries; Moreover, the country is strong and has the strength to help him avenge his hatred. So he made up his mind and wanted to go east to the country of Wu. The soldiers knew that the king of Chu must have issued a sea fishing document, and his physiognomy was very obvious, so he sold the white horse, leaving only the "Seven Star Dragon Yuan" sword for self-defense; I didn't dare to pass through the town pass, so I could only take the country road, walk all the way day and night, and come to Shaoguan, the border city of Chu State.

That Shen Yinshu visited all the way and knew that the soldiers would definitely flee to Wu State, so he followed all the way. After chasing for two days, the outpost reported that he had heard from the local people that a tall and sturdy man had been haunted here just before, and the soldiers should be not far away.

Shen Yinshu urged the soldiers to speed forward, and soon came to a big river. Shen Yinshu saw that there were no boats on the river, and guessed that the soldiers had not crossed the river, so he ordered the soldiers to search carefully along the river embankment. Within a moment, a sergeant came to report that he had made a discovery by the river. Shen Yinshu went to visit in person, and saw a plain white robe hanging on a tree branch by the river, like a white flag planted in the river breeze; A cloth boot fell on the shore, and there were a string of large footprints everywhere. Shen Yinshu recognized that it was the soldier's thing, pondered for a while, and saw that the river was wide, the water was vast, the world was so big, the soldier had sneaked into the sea of people, and looking for him was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Shen Yinshu sent an order to go down, took the robes and cloth boots left by the soldiers, and prepared to return to the court, so that he could go back to the king of Chu to return to his life.

Seeing that Wei Zhou returned in vain, he was afraid that he would become the second black in Wucheng, and he would be questioned by the king of Chu, so he stepped forward and reminded: "The commander has ordered the class teacher, but we are now chasing down the soldiers to no avail, how can we go back and give the king an errand?" It is better to divide the troops along the river and search carefully, and maybe there will be some gains. ”

Shen Yinshu shook his head and said: "The soldiers are wise and brave; Now it is like a dragon diving into the abyss, a fish swimming in the sea, how easy is it to find? It's just a waste of military strength. He didn't listen to Wei Zhou's words.

Wei Zhou said again: "The king let us receive these three thousand elite armor, these are the warriors of our Chu country, and among them are not strong in martial arts. I thought it would be better to screen out some wise and brave people from them, dress up as civilians, and secretly check the traces of the soldiers in the people, what does Sima think? ”

Shen Yinshu thought that this plan was very good, so he ordered Wei Zhou to act according to the plan. Fifty men were selected from among the soldiers to serve as a squad of assassins. Divide into 5 groups and act separately. and instructed them to pretend to be ordinary people, no matter what means they used, they took the head of the soldiers, and the court had its own reward. After Shen Yinshu arranged the affairs of the team, he sent orders to the class teacher.

The soldier did not go far, and from time to time he raised his head from the grass, and when he saw the soldiers turn around and drive in the direction of the capital, he guessed that Shen Yinshu might be a teacher, so he felt a little relieved, and continued to go down the river to the east, looking for a crossing to cross the river.

It is said that Shen Yinshu returned to the capital, handed over the order to the king of Chu, presented the retrieved plain robe and cloth boots, and said to the king of Chu: "The minister chased to the bank of the river, and the robes and cloth boots left by the soldiers have disappeared. Our country is vast and the sea of people is vast, and it is difficult for ministers to find his traces. The minister thought that the soldiers had fled, and it was difficult to arrest them. The minister has left 50 warriors, changed into civilian clothes, and lurked in the way of the soldiers on the way to escape, looking for an opportunity to intercept and kill. ”

After hearing this, the king of Chu was silent and asked Shen Yinshu to retreat. That Fei Wuji heard that the soldiers were missing, and knew that there were endless troubles, so he played the king of Chu: "The minister has a strategy, which can cut off the way for the soldiers to escape." ”

The king of Chu hurriedly shouted, now this person is not removed, it is really like a fish in the throat, even the dragon liver and phoenix gall in front of him are tasteless.

"The king ordered the painter to draw the appearance of the soldiers, post them in the fortress of Bianjin in our country, and hang them everywhere: if there is a reward of 50,000 stones of corn for the capture of the soldiers, he will be given the position of a doctor; On the contrary, if there is any take-in and ignorance of the knowing, the whole family will be beheaded! He also ordered all the Guanjin ferries to be strictly inspected by all pedestrians. The king will send envoys again, envoys to the princes and countries, please do not take in the guilty ministers, otherwise it will be the enemy of our Chu country, if you dare to take in, Chu will send a teacher to ask for the guilt. In this way, even if the soldier cannot be captured for a while, even if the soldier flees to another country, no one will dare to help him. From now on, he is alone, and with the courage of a horseman, what is there to be afraid of? ”

The king of Chu listened to Fei Wuji's plan one by one, asked the painter to draw the figure of the soldiers, visited the soldiers, and the wind was urgent all the way, and everywhere was like a copper wall and an iron wall, casting a huge net, just waiting for the soldiers to throw themselves into the net.

The soldiers were heading east along the river, when they suddenly heard the neighing of horses not far away, so they bent down and spied carefully. The soldiers thought that the Chu soldiers were chasing, so they hid in the woods, intending to hide for a while and then continue on their way.

Through the gaps in the leaves, the soldiers took a closer look, and saw that it was a group of guards surrounded by an umbrella-covered carriage, and the people on the carriage were kind-faced, with thick eyebrows and big eyes; He wears a square scarf around his head and a long robe with wide sleeves. The soldier rubbed his eyes, and thought that he had dazzled his eyes - the person sitting firmly in the car was his friend of eight worships, this person was named Shen Baoxu, a man who read poetry and books, and a young talent in the Chu State, and he had always been very compatible with himself.

The soldiers suppressed their joy and thought to themselves, expecting that Shen Baoxu had just returned to Chu State, and he might not know about the series of changes that had occurred in China. So he took a few steps forward, walked out of the woods, and stood on the side of the road, bowing his head and chin face, and saying nothing.

When the guards saw a man emerging from the woods, they thought there was an assassin and immediately marched forward to surround the soldiers.

Na Shen Baoxu saw him in the car, and when he saw that he was wearing a homespun gray coat and a pair of straw sandals, he drank the armor and hurriedly got out of the car to meet him.

Shen Baoxu was shocked: "Why is my brother dressed up like this today? The younger brother was ordered to send an envoy to the country of Qi, and the road was far away, and it was more than half a load to turn all the way. I don't want to meet my brother on this road today, and I'm hungry, I don't know why my brother is here alone today? ”

Wu Yuan knew that Shen Baoxu had been envoy to Qi for several months and knew nothing about domestic affairs, so he told Fei Wuji how to play right and wrong in front of the king of Chu and repeatedly slandered; How the king of Chu deposed the queen, expelled the crown prince, killed his father and brother, etc., cried and recounted it carefully. After hearing this, Shen Baoxu was also moved and burst into tears.

"In that case, what is my brother going to do now?"

"The king of Chu destroyed my Wu clan and killed my father and brother unjustly, and the soldiers are determined to avenge the hatred of this country today! For the sake of now, I will flee to another country to borrow troops to conquer Chu. In this life, I hate to eat the flesh of the King of Chu, and the body of the car is cracked, so I can solve my hatred! ”

Shen Baoxu persuaded: "Even if the king is unenlightened and faint and old, he is a king after all, and his brother is a minister." Your Wu family has received the grace of the country, so why do you want to take revenge on the monarch today as a courtier? The monarch wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the division between the monarch and the minister has been decided, I advise the elder brother to stop, as a courtier, you must not have the heart to kill the king. ”

"The king of Chu is like Xia Wei Shangxuan, he is a tyrant, can he also let him do nonsense? Although our soldiers are not talented, they are willing to give it a try. The king of Chu had no way, took his daughter-in-law, and abolished the queen; partiality and slander do not distinguish between loyalty and treachery; Kill Zhongliang and expel the crown prince; I borrowed troops to attack Chu, I can get rid of the traitorous ministers, and purge the court of Chu State, this is for the public; Revenge on the body of the king of Chu, and the revenge of my flesh and blood is for selfishness. If I can't destroy Chu, I vow not to live between heaven and earth! ”

Shen Baoxu pondered for a moment and said, "Since my brother has made up his mind, my brother doesn't need to say much. If my brother supports my brother to take revenge on Chu, he is trapping myself for disloyalty; If you oppose your revenge, but you trap your brother in unfilial piety. As a friend, my brother will let my brother flee today, so as to fulfill our brotherly affection. But the younger brother has a word, if the elder brother endangers the Chu State in the future, the younger brother will definitely do his best to save the Chu State Sheji! You and I have our own will, and we are no longer strong with each other. The elder brother can go quickly, and the younger brother will never divulge the news of the elder brother. Reluctantly! ”

Shen Baoxu thought that the soldiers were in poverty and fled alone, so he took some property as road materials and sent them to the soldiers, and said: "Brother go quickly, my brother can't do unfaithful and unfilial things, only prepare some money, my brother can only do this, I hope my brother takes care of himself!" ”

After saying goodbye to the soldiers and Shen Baoxu in tears, Shen Baoxu returned to Beijing to resume his life, and did not mention the incident of meeting the soldiers on the road.

The soldiers were still lurking forward, seeing that it was getting late, and the sun was already setting in the west. At this time, I was very hungry and wanted to find a farmhouse to find something to fill my stomach.

The soldiers wanted to visit the courtyard of the village to see if they could find an opportunity to beg for some food from the villagers. I was lurking in the jungle and saw a cottage living outside the village, alone in a corner. In order to avoid others from discovering it, the soldiers quietly sneaked into this small courtyard where they lived alone.

The soldiers hid in the woods and looked around for a while, and when they saw the courtyard door wide open, they saw an old man with crane hair and a boy face and a cane in the small courtyard. The soldier did not dare to move, and continued to observe for a while, and found nothing suspicious, before he dodged out of the forest.

The soldier saluted the old man and said: "Dare to ask the old man, I am a foreigner, because I am greedy to hurry, I pass by here; At this time, it is getting late, I wonder if the old man can enjoy a piece of corn rice and talk about it? I've thanked the old man here. ”

The old man took a closer look at the uninvited guest in front of him and returned the salute. After beckoning the soldiers into the house and sitting down, the old man asked slowly, "Is the visitor a young son of Master Wu?" ”

A few words, like the words of the sky falling. Even a person with such athletic skills as a soldier hesitated for a moment, stunned.
