There are two flowers, one on each branch. First of all, Wu Wangfu sent an order for the army to retreat and relieve the siege of Gucheng Mountain. ordered the soldiers to lead the front army back first, and he slowly followed the Chinese army; He also ordered Dazai Boyao to lead the rear army to be stationed in Wushan, and granted the right to make a decision on the spot.

Bo Yao was ordered by his husband to camp in Wushan, settle down the soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and thought that the battle of Wuyue was a complete victory, but because of the peace negotiation, he and the Xiangguo soldiers were disliked, so he called his confidant Bai Zhou to discuss.

Bai Zhou was originally a general under his husband, but later his husband rebelled, and Bai Zhou secretly escaped from the army and returned to the tent of King Wu. Because of the involvement of the husband's rebellion, it has not been reused. Later, he was under the account of Bo Ya, which was quite appreciated by Bo Ya, and became Bo Ya's confidant over time.

The two rode on large horses and walked slowly outside the camp, followed by a line of guards far behind. At this time, it is almost June, and the vegetation is flourishing, and it is the time of busy farming. However, because of the battle of Wuyue, the people fled to the war, so all industries everywhere were depressed, and the wilderness was barren and green.

Bo Yao said: "Xiangguo left in a narrow anger this time, and I had to rely on Xiangguo's support in the past to have today's high power." Do you hear any rumors among the generals? ”

Bai Zhou hesitated for a long time and replied: "The young general also heard that some generals talked about this matter. Of course, there are also those who agree with the country, saying that they can take advantage of this opportunity to destroy Vietnam; There are also those who agree with Dazai's proposal, saying that everyone doesn't have to worry about it from now on, and they can go home safely. ”

Bo Yao nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant." Wu and Yue have been fighting for many years, and now it is just right for Yue to be a vassal and become our vassal state. After this war, there will be no war between Wu and Yue, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Bai Zhou glanced around and saw that the guards were far away. Then he said in a low voice: "There is news about the matter that Dazai ordered the young general to inquire: Fan Li has led the remnants of the army in Gucheng Mountain to retreat to the area of Guling, and scattered the troops for the people; The youngster also got another piece of news. ”

"What's the news?" Bo Yao asked with some eagerness.

"General Wang Sun Luo escorted the more Wen Chong returned to China, and the more he was almost plotted on the way. It's okay, it's just that there is no danger. I heard that the servant of the Vietnamese envoy was very valiant and saved his master. ”

Bo Yao thought for a while, and sighed: "This matter must be done at the behest of Xiangguo!" Xiangguo wanted to secretly assassinate the Yue envoy and sabotage Wu Yue's peace. Although General Wang Sun Luo is a subordinate of Xiangguo, this person can only obey the king's orders, and he is upright. No one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do, so Xiangguo made this decision and wanted to plot against the envoy of the country. ”

Bai Zhou said: "The young general is more worried about the disagreement between the adults and the Xiangguo, and they have parted ways since then. Xiangguo will be extremely dissatisfied with the adults, and the adults will have to deal with it carefully. ”

"That's what I thought about as well. Xiangguo can't tolerate half a grain of sand in his eyes. From now on, I will break with Sangkook, and I will naturally be cautious. ”

Bai Zhou said: "My lord only needs to stand on the same front as the king." There is nothing that Sanguni can do with Dazai. The meaning of the villain is the king. It's to use Dazai to contain Xiangguo. The importance of Dazai in the king's heart is higher than that of Xiangguo, so the villain thinks: From now on, Dazai can no longer look forward to Xiangguo, but to establish his own camp and hold authority with Xiangguo. ”

Bo Yao glanced at Bai Zhou, and he smiled. Said: "Bai Zhou, Bai Zhou, I see that you are becoming more and more knowledgeable. In the future, I will naturally promote you, and follow this official well! ”

Bai Zhou thanked him: "Thank you, Lord Dazai, for your love!" ”

Seeing that it was not early, the two were about to beat their horses back to the camp. I saw a sentry horse. He was speeding with his whip, and when he came to the two horses, he turned over and dismounted, and knelt down in front of the horses.

The sentry horse said: "Tell Dazai: General Ziman said that there is an important military situation to discuss with the adults, please return to the camp as soon as possible." ”

Bo Ya showed displeasure, waved his hand to the sentry horse, turned to Bai Zhou and said, "We have also been out for a long time, this one is full of panic, let's go back first!" ”

The two turned their horses around and returned to the garrison camp.

As soon as he stepped into the tent, he saw the deputy general full of hands in the tent and turning in circles, and when he saw Bo Yao, he came up and saluted and said: "The next official is looking for Dazai tightly!" ”

Bo Yao Zhengse said: "The general is so anxious, but what kind of military intelligence report?" ”

"Xiaguan has just received the news brought back by Xizuo, saying that the main force of the Yue Kingdom in Gucheng Mountain still has nearly 10,000 people, led by Fan Li, and has been broken into pieces and secretly retreated to the Guling area. Although Wu Yue is now talking about peace, the king still doesn't know about this situation. These 10,000 horses can't be underestimated, and the lower officials ask Dazai to make plans early to get rid of this henchman! ”

Bo Yao said with a displeased face: "The king has already agreed to the begging and surrender of the Yue Kingdom and relieved the siege of Gucheng Mountain, how dare the general disobey the king's order?" ”

Ziman argued: "The king didn't know the details at first, and he didn't know that the main force of the Yue army in Gucheng Mountain still had nearly 10,000 horses. Otherwise, if the main force of the Vietnamese army was not destroyed, the king would not accept the peace of the Yue country. The young general thought that since the king had given Dazai the right to make decisions on the front line, Dazai could be the main force of the army to intercept and kill the Vietnamese army, and the king would definitely not blame Dazai! ”

Bo Yao shook his head and said: "I am a big country, the king is the king of a big country, how can a big country be untrustworthy?" You're not going to let the king lose his trust to the princes, are you? Since the king has formulated Wu Yue's principles and policies for peace, those of us as courtiers have to follow the order, why do you have to do so much? ”

Bai Zhou also persuaded: "Fan Li's scattered soldiers are for the people, whether it is 10,000 or 8,000, it is difficult for us to have evidence." Now that he is leading the army to intercept and kill, where can he still find traces of the Vietnamese army? ”

Ziman saw that Bo Yao did not obey, so he had to retreat without a word.

Wen Chong first sent countless jade and gold for Qutong Bo Yao, and gave eight harem beauties to Bo Yao. One of them called his daughter-in-law, who was deeply loved by Bo Yao.

Bo Ya returned to the back account, and was thinking about his thoughts. At this time, I saw a person come up, this person was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a light purple long skirt and narrow sleeves, and he looked even more graceful and coquettish. A string of jade pendants on his waist, and his head swayed slightly; Eyebrows are bent and bright, and a light smile is bright.

When Bo Yao saw this, his brows stretched out, and he said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, do you like the wooden sword I sharpened for you yesterday?" ”

The daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Concubine, thank you for the sword!" From today on, the concubine has studied it, this sword dance pays attention to footwork and body method, and the most difficult can be practiced into the sword dance. ”

Bo Yao said: "This official has heard of the dance of the Yue Nu a long time ago, and the sword dance is the first. But the sword dance must have a certain martial arts foundation, so it is extremely difficult to practice, especially if a beauty like Aiji wants to practice, it is not a day's work. ”

Bo Yao stepped forward and hugged his daughter-in-law, and the two of them crossed their knees and sat on the couch. Bo Ya ordered the cooks to prepare a few delicious meals, so that they could get drunk with the beauty.

The daughter-in-law coquettishly said: "What have you been busy with lately? Ignored us for days. ”

"It's not for the trivial things you cross the country. Because your general Fan Li still has a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands, some generals suggested that this officer lead his army to intercept and kill them in order to eliminate future troubles. ”

The daughter-in-law said: "The concubine thinks that the Yue Kingdom is just a district, and being an enemy of the Wu State is simply hitting a stone with an egg!" Although the concubine is a female stream in the Yue Kingdom, she is also self-aware, and she will never be as ignorant as the King of Yue. The whole country of Yue is not the opponent of the Wu army, don't say that the remnants of Fan Li's remaining army are defeated, what else can be done? The concubine doesn't know what the adults mean? ”

"Since King Wu promised to make peace with the Yue Kingdom, and the two sides have already talked about a truce, how can I do this more? It's just that the deputy general Ziman has quite an objection and suggests that the official send out a division to cut off Fan Li's army. ”

"As a Dazai, my lord is in a high position, how can he be restrained by the lieutenant general?"

"Ai Ji doesn't know the reason for the road, because my family Xiangguo strongly opposes accepting the begging of the king of Yue, and has always wanted to take this opportunity to destroy the Yue country. Therefore, there are many generals who are on the side of Xiangguo and do not want to carry out the peace policy set by the king. ”

At this time, the waiter had already set up the meal, Bo Yao sat down, and the daughter-in-law personally held the pot and poured wine for Bo Yao.

At this time, Bai Zhou was waiting to see him outside, and Bo Yao came in.

Bai Zhouyu reported: "The letter sent by General Wang Sun Luo is here, please read it. ”

When Bo Yao unfolded and looked, he knew that Wang Sun Luo escorted Wen Chong to the capital of Yue Guo, in addition to the Yue envoy was in danger, the road was quite smooth, and now the guards were only waiting for Gou Jian to prepare to enter Wu according to the time set by Wu Wangfu.
