Gou Jian and his entourage traveled day and night, but on the 10th, they had already passed Huzhou and came to the bank of Zhejiang on the border of Wuyue.

After Zhejiang, it is the territory of Orange State in Yue Kingdom.

When Wang Sunxiong saw that he had reached the border, he stopped his soldiers and horses, and said goodbye to Gou Jianjun's ministers: "This place is already the bank of Zhejiang water, and after this Zhejiang water in front of you, even if the virtuous monarch returns to his homeland, the mission of this official is also completed." On the riverbank, the official has prepared a boat, please cross the river. ”

Gou Jian bowed down and thanked: "The general has worked tirelessly to escort us back to the country, this situation Gou Jian will naturally remember in his heart, please tell the king, Gou Jian will always surrender to the Yue country!" ”

Wang Sunxiong bowed, raised the reins of his horse, led the army to turn around, and returned to Gusu to resume his life.

Gou Jian and his ministers stood on the bank of the river, and when Wang Sunxiong was far away, the three of them turned back to look for the boat.

On the bank of the river, there is a small boat tied to it, and a penny with the thickness of a wrist is inserted into the round hole in the bow of the boat. The boat swayed with the waves, casting ink-like reflections on the sparkling water.

Fan Li pulled the rope made of coarse linen, pulled the boat closer to the shore, took a leap, stood on the bow of the boat, and then removed the penny and pinned the boat to the river.

Gou Jian took his wife Fengyi's wrist and helped Fengyi onto the boat. The two stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the soup and water, the deceased was like this, and the two were silent. This troubled couple, after this change and hardships, has today's freedom. But when the day finally came, the couple did not rejoice, did not rejoice, did not cry; The two of them just shed tears silently, as if they wanted to leave all the humiliation, pain, sorrow, and helplessness stored in the past three years on this Zhejiang water.

"Yes. Here I will throw away the past and I want a new future! Gou Jian retracted and pondered, holding Feng Yi's waist. When the boat reached the middle of the river, it naturally swayed even more.

Gou Jian finally broke the silence and looked at the motionless Feng Yi and said:

"Madame, do you remember that three years ago, we also crossed the river from here to Wu?"

"The concubine will never forget! At that time, the concubines sang near the water, sentimental about the wind and rain of the family and country, and you and I could not protect day and night. Entering Wu as a slave is dangerous and unpredictable. Alack! How dare the concubines imagine that there is a way back to the country today! ”

"When the widow heard the song of his wife, his heart was like a knife, and it had been three years in a flash! Today's widow should swear in Zheshui: This revenge will not be avenged, and it is not a gentleman! ”

Feng Yiyang pointed to the hills and trees on the other side of the river. Youyou said: "King, please look, on the other side is a grass and a tree in our Yue country!" Yesterday there was a heavy rain, the mountains are like washing, and the mountains are like daisies. The concubine saw it. It's so kind! ”

At this time, Goujian, the king of Yue, seemed to remember something, turned his head to Fan Li and said, "Why didn't the widow see Jinong?" He must have known the news of our return to China, but why didn't he return with us? ”

Fan Li said: "Jinong should have already learned the news, just to avoid unnecessary trouble, especially for fear of arousing the suspicion of the soldiers, so Jinong himself arranged the period of returning to the country, and the minister expected that he still had some miscellaneous matters to do, this time he was in the Wu country." Especially in the interaction with Bo Ya, he has won the strong support of Bo Ya. It also makes the strategy of the genre a complete success! ”

Gou Jian muttered to himself: "Great merit!" This person's merits are not small, and the widow will reward this person a lot when he returns home! ”

"This Jinon seems to be the general's house slave, right?"

Fan Li nodded, shaking the oar vigorously while watching the water potential. This boat can only go along the river, otherwise there is a danger of capsizing and sinking in the river.

"Aiji, look at what those little white round mounds are, and they are still lined up." Gou Jian pointed to the white dot in the distance upstream and asked.

"Oh?" Feng Yi put up a pergola with her hand, looked at it carefully for a long time, and thought: "Could it be a military tent?" ”

Feng Yi thought for a moment and cheered: "King, it must be our military tent, you see, on those round hills, there are still our banners floating!" ”

Gou Jian took a closer look and said with great joy: "It must be that Wen Chong got the news and came here to greet us." It has to be them! ”

Fan Li saw that someone on the other side of the river came to pick him up, and his heart just landed. Thinking that today, after going through many difficulties, I got out of the cage, and my mission of entering Wu was finally completed. However, as a dignified seven-foot man, he has suffered a lot of humiliation, whether it is for himself or for the country, revenge will be the whole of his future life.

However, with the national strength of the Yue State, to challenge the powerful Wu State, it would mean taking the chestnut from the fire, or hitting the stone with an egg.

Even if there is only one in 10,000 hope, I Fan Li will not give up!

Fan Li looked at the elated Gou Jian couple, thinking that in the dark days of Wu Kingdom, this couple who shared hardships and hardships would never give up, and sighed in their hearts.

When the boat arrived on the opposite bank, the three of them got off the boat, Fan Li tied the rope of the boat, and Gou Jian helped Fengyi to the riverbank road.

The three of them had just climbed to the top of the river embankment, but they saw a group of people and horses, waving flags, and was speeding towards this side.

In less than half an hour, a person dressed in a light blue plain suit and riding a white horse waved his hand in front of the team, shouting something in his mouth.

Because the distance was still far away, he couldn't hear the man's words clearly, and when he got closer, Gou Jian recognized that the person was the doctor's culture.

When the white horse was still an arrow away, he turned over and dismounted, threw down the reins of the horse, staggered forward a few steps, and shouted, "Great king! The Great King——! ”

Wen Chong knelt on the ground, and the ministers behind him also arrived.

"The ministers and ministers of the country are here to welcome the king! The king has worked hard! ”

Gou Jian lifted everyone forward one by one, and each person who helped him called the minister's name.

"Dazai Kucheng, good, good, you're getting older......"

"Yong, you deserve to be a good person!"

"Gaoru, the widow is in Wu this time, and I saw several new farm tools, you want to think of ways to improve them, are you a farmer!"

……

After the monarchs and ministers saw each other one by one, Gou Jian choked up and said: "Three years ago, the widow crossed the river from here to Wu, and I never thought that I would be able to come back, thinking that this life would be lost in Wu. I never thought that the widow would actually return to this homeland today, and the temple and shrine of my Yue country will continue to be immortal! ”

Gou Jian pulled Feng Yi in front of him again and said: "Madame never leaves, there is a beginning and an end, today's feelings, how dare a widow forget it!" After that, the four teary eyes looked at each other, and each of them couldn't stop crying.

All the ministers were in tears, but the return of King Yue was a great joy. Wen Chong stepped forward to persuade King Yue and asked King Yue to ascend to the car.

The procession to greet the king of Yue included the ministers who defended the country, as well as the representatives of the people of the capital, and of course, the officers and soldiers of the guards. When the king of Yue and the queen Fengyi ascended to the car, the crowd was already thunderous.

Fan Li rode a red curly-maned horse and walked side by side with the text. In this great change in the country of Yue, both of them did their best to use their scheming within their respective responsibilities for the same purpose, and they cooperated seamlessly, so there is such success today.

Wen Chong said: "The young uncle follows the king and suffers from hardships." The king was able to return to China today, and the general contributed a lot! However, what kind of strategy the king will formulate against Wu will be the foundation of our national policy in the future. I wonder what the general means? ”

Fan Li said: "With the current strength of our country, what can we do?" Although the king has the ambition to soar to the sky, he must also keep his head in the dark, and gradually restore the national strength is the fundamental way. ”

Wen Chong nodded and said: "This road to rejuvenation, be cautious!" If King Wu discovers our intentions, we will face annihilation! ”

Fan Li said: "Don't you understand the character of the king? Taoguang is obscure, and then he works hard. As long as he has not swallowed his last breath, the king will definitely take revenge. It's just the road to rejuvenation, to avoid the difficulties of Wu Guo, how Mr. handles this scale is a bit particular. ”

The two had just met, learned about each other, and discussed the future strategy of Vietnam. After all, they haven't seen each other for three years, and they are life and death brothers who fled from Chu State to Yue Country together, so naturally they have nothing to talk about.

Now, for the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, what kind of relationship between the two countries and the Wu State should be established is the most pressing issue in front of them. Goujian, the king of Wu, did not take advantage of the victory to destroy the Yue Kingdom, nor did he annex much of the land of the Yue Kingdom. In addition to the huge human losses caused by that war, Viet Nam was at least a complete country.

This is already a great fortune, and for the Yue State, becoming a vassal state of the Wu State is the most feasible strategy. Once under the wing of the State of Wu, the national security of the State of Yue will naturally be protected by the State of Wu. By taking advantage of this good opportunity to vigorously develop production and enhance national strength, Vietnam will have a great opportunity to recuperate.

Temporary subservience can be exchanged for more benefits, and in front of Fan Li and Wen Chong, this strategy is naturally a hit. (To be continued......)
