This is the capital of the country, because it is named after the mountain built by Huiji. Huiji Mountain was originally called Maoshan Mountain, and legend has it that Dayu summoned the princes and chieftains of the whole country to this point, "the big accountant, the lord is virtuous, and the seal is meritorious." After the death of Dayu, he was buried in Maoshan Mountain, in order to commemorate the exploits of Dayu, the descendants changed Maoshan to Huiji Mountain. Auditors, accountants also.

In the west of Huiji City, there is a long street in Xicheng. Huiji City is centered on the royal palace and has eight main streets. There are two markets in the north and south on the long street of the west city, that is, the streets. The doctor's house is located on the edge of the north square of the long street in the west city.

At this time, it is already May, and the days are long and the nights are short. When he returned to the house after the dispersal of the Wen Dynasty, it was still early.

Outside the gate of the mansion of the literary species, there is a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in green clothes, with a green cloth turban wrapped around his head, a short goat's beard under his chin, and a square face and narrow eyebrows.

Steward Wen led a few servants up to catch Wen Chong's chariot, the royal Wu Jian helped Wen Chong get out of the car, a groom pulled two jujube red horses into the stable in the mansion to brush the horses, and the other two servants pushed the open carriage into the house through the side door.

Wen Chong's face was gloomy, and he instructed Wen Hui who came up: "If General Fan Li has someone from there to send any news, don't delay for a moment, and report it to me immediately!" ”

"The villain is about to repay the adult: there is a man who calls himself Jinong, saying that he wants to meet the adult. When the villain asked him where he came from and what was important when he saw the adult, he didn't want to explain, but he only said that he would know when he saw the adult. ”

"Where is he now?" Wen Chong stopped, turned around and stared at Wen Hui and asked.

"The villain asked him to wait in the side compartment first, and I will go and invite him to see the master now."

Wen Chong nodded, and smiled at Wu Jian beside him: "Do you remember this Jinong?" At that time, we came to Huiji with Fan Li and them from Chu Guoyingdu, it was this Jinong, who was strong in martial arts, and neither of you was convinced. They fought with each other all the way, which made me angry and funny with Fan Li. ”

Wu Jian said: "This old guy is here, I want to go and see him." We haven't seen each other in a long time, haven't we? ”

Wen Chong shook his head: "When I handle the matter properly, you two enemies can meet." As he spoke, he walked through the screen inside the door, stepped into the hall, and said to Wen Hui, "Later, you can bring him to the study room to see me." ”

As soon as Wen Chong entered the main hall, the ladies and concubines greeted him. Wen Chong didn't pay much attention to it, and let them go by themselves after a few greetings, but they went to the study room alone.

This study room is a wood-paneled room, with a carved wooden lattice cowhide window on the north side. On the south side of the room, there is a few cases, and there is a wooden cabinet behind the case, and the cabinet is piled with various bamboo slips and historical books.

Wen Chong sat cross-legged, and a maid came in to offer tea, which had already been soaked in well water. Wen Chong leaned his neck. A chill ran down his throat, and most of the fire in his heart subsided.

Less than a moment. Wen Hui led one person into the house. The man looked to be an old man in his fifties, with deep wrinkles on his face and gray hair, but he was in good spirits.

The old man knelt down to give the salute, but did not speak. The literature will be willing, so the literature will go out of the house. He closed the door of the book compartment and instructed: "No one else is allowed to enter the book compartment without my instructions." ”

The person before Jinong's meeting was slightly around forty. Dressed in court clothes, with a gentle face, he is a humble gentleman.

"The villain is General Fan Li's slave Jinong, who was ordered by my son-in-law to deliver a letter to the adult. Do adults remember villains? ”

Wen Chong said: "You get up, we haven't seen each other for a long time." How could I not remember you? Is your son-in-law okay in Gucheng Mountain? ”

"The situation is very urgent, the meaning of the prince is that it is within the country, and only the doctor has the wisdom to save the country."

Wen Chong took a white bag presented by Jinong, and when he unfolded it, it was Fan Li's handwritten letter. The letter mainly expounded the grim situation of the Vietnamese army in Gucheng Mountain, and also hoped that Wen Chong could stand alone in the big task, persuade the king of Yue, and ask for peace with Wu:

Although it was difficult for the king to talk about the matter of begging peace, the ministers were unwilling to take on this important task in order to avoid the name of traitor. But if we don't beg for peace again, when the Wu army has wiped out the main force on our Gucheng Mountain, it will be too late to ask the king of Wu for peace at that time. At that time, King Wu will not accept our begging and surrender, and the Yue Kingdom will only be destroyed and destroyed! The doctor is very intellectual, so he naturally understands the truth......"

After Wen Chong visited Fan Li's secret letter, he didn't speak for a long time, and the room was so quiet that it was a little suffocating.

Wen Zhi Lu said, today in the court, after receiving Fan Li's urgent document, the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom finally made the choice to beg for peace with Wu Guo after some discussion.

King Yue looked at Fan Li's emergency documents all over the ministers, and said to the ministers: "Fan Li's situation in Gucheng Mountain is critical, our army is in danger, and there is not much time left for us!" Either fight to the death with the Wu army, or beg for peace with the king of Wu, and ask for surrender, it must be agreed in the hall today, and there must be no further delay. ”

Dazai bitterly said: "King Wu has a grudge of revenge, and the minister is worried that King Wu has the heart to destroy my country, so he refuses to surrender." Therefore, the minister suggested fighting to the death with Wu Jun. ”

Wen Chong said: "According to the current situation, our army is no longer capable of fighting with the Wu army, and that must be the way to kill yourself." The minister thought that the only way to sue for peace with Wu Jun was to keep the society alive, and it was not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years. ”

Dazai said bitterly: "Our army has been defeated like a mountain, the Wu army has already won the victory, and the general of the Wu State is a wise and brave man, how can he agree to our begging and surrender?" ”

Doctor Yue Jiao said: "The minister sent an envoy to Chu last time in vain, and if the king needs it, the minister is willing to enter Chu again to ask for rescue." ”

Gou Jian said: "Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and besides, the king of Chu is unwilling to send troops to help, and it is useless to ask for it again." ”

Wen Chong said: "The state of Chu is afraid of the Wu army, and the king of Chu must not send troops, and we have to rely on our own strength to solve it." ”

Gou Jian said: "The widow has decided to make peace with the state of Wu, and this matter is handled by the Wen gen, and if necessary, all the resources in the country can be called." It's just that if King Wu insists on not accepting our begging peace, what will he do? ”

……

Wen Chong came back to his senses. Yes, in order to give the Yue country a glimmer of life, let the king of Wu accept the begging of the Yue country, and as the think tank of Gou Jian, he must come up with a foolproof strategy.

At this time, Jinong broke the silence and said to Wen Chong: "My son-in-law once told the villain that this King Wu has two generals on the left and right, Xiangguo and Dazai. But these two have very different personalities: the soldiers are intellectually superior, loyal and brave, and have a clear love and hate but a paranoid temperament, and are not liked by their husbands; And Bo Yao is so happy, greedy for money and lustful, jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and is quite appreciated by King Wu. Bo Yao is under the army, and he is naturally unwilling, so there is a gap between the two. ”

When Wen Chong heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "The enemy will have a gap, and I will have a chance." ”

Ji Nong sighed: "We are all Chu people, but unfortunately for the sake of Wu and Yue, each is its master, but we Chu people are killing each other underneath. ”

Wen Chong was silent for a long time and asked, "What are your plans in the future?" Do you want to return to Fan Lijun or stay in Huiji? ”

Ji Nong said: "The son will explain to the villain, and there are two other important things that the villain needs to do, so the villain will say goodbye to the adult tomorrow." ”

"Wu Jian mentioned it just now, saying that he wanted to meet you, and you two haven't seen each other for many years. You have been following your son-in-law to fight in the east and west, and you have stayed in the army all year round; And Wu Jian basically stayed in Huiji with me, less than going out. He's waiting for you in the West Chamber, you go. ”

Jinong said goodbye and retreated, and Wen Chong stood up and paced in the study compartment with his hands in his hands. He thought to himself: "Although the king has formulated the national policy of begging for peace and asking for surrender, if the soldiers get in the way and do not agree to cross the country to seek peace, this matter will be difficult to do." He is fully responsible for this matter, and if he does not do it well, he will not only bear the name of betraying the country, but also risk destroying the country. And although the soldier is difficult, this Bo Yao is not in harmony with him, so he can give it a try. Bet the treasure on him. ”

Wen Chong made up his mind: take Bo Yao as a breakthrough, and get Bo Yao first. Taking advantage of this incident to make the monarchs and ministers of Wu State lose harmony, there is a mustard among the important ministers, and they can kill two birds with one stone.

Wen Chong plotted about this, thinking that begging and asking for surrender required a lot of wealth and beauties, and there was nothing to make others feel excited, where did begging and begging begin? So he wrote a letter at the desk, proposing his own plan to beg and ask for success. (To be continued......)
