The main peak of Gucheng Mountain, Fan Li's Chinese army camp.

The camp was full of yellow-skinned soldiers, their robes already in rags, and soldiers dying of sickness and starvation could be seen carried back to the mountains for burial. Fan Li, the commander of the Vietnamese army, waited for the news of the king of Yue every day, until now, he did not receive any words from the king of Yue, and the urgent war reports sent to Huiji were like a stone in the sea. Could it be that the king of Yue really gave up the main force of the Yue army that was still fighting here?

Fan Liku sat on the handsome chair on the big tent, bored, looking at the Xitian Sword left by King Yue on the case, and thought to himself: "If the rescue does not arrive within three days, I should send a pawn to drink the sword and kill myself, with the righteousness of the whole monarch and minister!" ”

At this time, there was a whistle to report: "General! The left and right battalions of the Wu army and the central army all retreated 20 miles to the village. And he forwarded a letter from Wu Jun and asked him to forward it to the general. After saying that, he handed over a bag.

Fan Li was very surprised, took the bag from the sentry horse, and when he unfolded it, it was a text message from Wen Chong: "Wen Chong was ordered by the king, as a begging envoy, through a few days of mediation, King Wu has agreed to my country's proposal for peace." Now King Wu is ready to lead his army back to the country and withdraw the siege of Gucheng Mountain, and the general is already safe! Wen Chong wanted to drive to the general's camp to comfort the king, but King Wu did not allow Wen Chong to go up the mountain, so Wen Chong had to go back to Huiji first to take care of my lord's entry into Wu. The general can lead his army to camp in the area of Guling, in a remote corner, away from the sight of the king of Wu, so as not to be suspicious of the monarchs and ministers of the state of Wu......"

After Fan Li read the letter, he knew that King Yue and Wen Chong had reached a peace agreement with King Wu according to their own suggestions, although the conditions for begging for peace were very strict, but from the current situation, it was an extremely advantageous choice. After all, the Jongmyo of the Yue Kingdom is still preserved, and the Jongmyo is a symbol of the existence of a country. It is a totem in the hearts of the people. Although the Yue Kingdom became a vassal of the Wu State, it was still a country with its own temple.

King Yue into Wu? Fan Li muttered in his mouth. This condition made Fan Li feel like a knife.

Fan Li summoned the sentry cavalry and ordered the three armies to prepare to go down the mountain early tomorrow morning and drive to the Guling area. In Fan Li's and Wen Chong's opinion, the nearly 10,000 horses in Fan Li's hands had better disappear quietly in the eyes of Wu Guojun's ministers, otherwise, King Wu would be alert. will definitely regret it, and may not be reluctant to forgive this remnant army. If the Yue Kingdom wants to do something in the future, retaining this army is the only hope.

Fan Li then ordered the soldiers to be broken into pieces, tried to avoid the sight of Wu Jun, and secretly sneaked back to the Guling area to gather. On weekdays, the land is cultivated for the people, avoiding the eyes and ears of the Wu people.

It is said that Wang Sun Luo was ordered by King Wu. led a guard to escort Wen Chong to the Vietnamese capital.

Wang Sun Luo rode in front. Wen Chong rode with him, and Wu Jian was inseparable from Wen Chong.

One day when I arrived at the overflow, this place was not far from Huiji. Seeing that it was already dark, Wang Sun Luo ordered the guards to camp in the underground village and wait for tomorrow.

The sergeants acted in groups, and some began to build stoves and cook. Some set up cowhide tents according to the terrain, and some patrolled and guarded, each performing its own duties. In less than an hour, the tents of the entire guard had been set up. The sergeants also began to eat together.

Wen Chong was also impressed when he saw that Sergeant Wu acted in groups in an orderly manner and was extremely efficient. It seems that the combat power of this soldier has a great relationship with the training quality of weekdays. The Wu army has the ability to fight alone with the princes, and is often able to win more with less, which is inseparable from the personal quality and cooperative spirit of the soldiers.

Wen and Wu Jian were assigned to a small tent in the far north, guarded by Wu soldiers.

Wu Jian went outside to get his own food and Wen Chong's food back, and waited for Wen Chong's meal. In fact, it's just one pottery bean corn rice per person, and it's just a little miso soup.

Wen Chong scribbled a few mouthfuls of food, but he was not in the mood, and when he saw that it was dark and the tent was dark, he ordered Wu Jian to find some candles from the military master outside.

Wen Chong sat cross-legged on the tent seat, preoccupied. Although Begging and Asking Cheng have already negotiated with King Wu, how can King Yue face such a result? After all, the entry of the Yue Wang couple into Wu will mean something to Gou Jian - without the dignity of a monarch, even the dignity of an ordinary person will be lost; What kind of torment would it be to have your life in the hands of someone else, and you can't see the slightest hope?

At this time, he saw a small colonel dressed in Wu army armor looking outside the tent door, and seemed to look inside the various tents. He walked to the small tent of Wen Chong, glanced at Wen Chong, and saw that there was no one else in the tent, so he bent down and pressed his sword in.

Wen Chong saw that the person who came was very faced, and through the light of the fire in the camp outside the tent, he saw that this person had a black face and a beard, and he looked fierce, and he couldn't help but stand up, and he was very suspicious. When he saw that the man was only a few steps away from him, he exclaimed, "Who are you?" ”

"The villain is General Wang Sun Luo's close guard, but Mr. Yue is a literary species?"

Wen Chong thought to himself: The Wu soldiers of the guard all knew that they were the envoys of the king of Yue, and this person asked like this, and his behavior was very suspicious, so he shook his head and said: "I am the entourage of the Yue envoy, and the envoy of the Yue just left the camp tent and may not know where he arrived at General Wang Sun Luo." ”

The man saw that the light in the tent was dim, and only a figure could be seen, hesitated for a moment, and then withdrew from the tent.

After a while, Wu Jian returned with a fire candle, and Wen Chong's heart was a little calm. Pulled Wu Jian over and whispered, "There was a very suspicious person just now. This person was wearing the uniform of the Wu army, and he was born with a fierce face, and came in to inquire about the whereabouts of the Yue envoy. I've just sent him away, but I think he'll come back again. ”

Wu Jian said angrily: "King Wu has pardoned Yue Guo, what else does this person want?" Your Excellency is the envoy of a nation, and you are afraid of what he will do. ”

Wen Chong shook his head and said: "Among the important ministers of Wu State, there are those who disagree with their political views. For example, the members of the military of Xiangguo vigorously oppose our begging and petitioning, and the soldiers must have the heart to eliminate me. Besides, in the Lu era, the soldiers controlled the huge dragon guard camp of Wu State. This Longwei battalion is mainly engaged in assassination operations, such as the assassination of Gongzi Qingji is a typical case. ”

Wu Jian nodded and said, "The villain has also heard of it. Later, after the death of He Lu, the dragon guard battalion was disbanded by Wu Wangfucha and formed a dragon banner army controlled by himself. ”

Wen Chong said: "King Wu is jealous of the soldiers, and he still dares to hand over the Longwei Camp to the soldiers?" But he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to abolish this secret organization. He Lu and Wu Yuan are not only kings and ministers, but also good friends, and they have a strong relationship of trust. However, when it came to Fucha, there was no basis for mutual trust between them, and naturally the Longwei camp was to be dismantled by King Wu. ”

"Since the Longwei camp was dismissed by King Wu, the villain speculated that the person who had just entered the account had an attempt to assassinate the adult, who is this person?"

Wen Chong shook his head and said, "I don't know. Just tonight we have to be very careful! The soldier has been in control of the Longwei camp for many years, and he will also leave some henchmen in his hands to serve his own political purposes. ”

Wen Chong was tired of lying on the seat, Wu Jian crossed his knees and raised his sword, his eyes were blazing, and he didn't dare to close his eyes all night.

In the middle of the night, the camp was silent, save for the occasional faint footsteps from patrolling sentinels. The night breeze is blowing, and everything seems very quiet.

Suddenly, the wind was blowing. Through the sound of the wind, Wu Jian seemed to faintly hear a swift sound piercing the air, it was very sharp, from several different directions, at lightning speed, breaking through the air.

It was the sound of arrows from the assault crossbow, coming from at least three different directions, towards the tent.

"Puff", the arrow penetrated the account.

Without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, Wu Jian threw himself into the corner of Wen Chong and shouted, "There are assassins!" There are assassins! ”

A thunderclap pierced the night sky, and the whole camp was shocked.

Wu Jian pounced on Wen Chong's body, and the arrows outside the tent were like locusts, and Wu Jian had already shot Wu Jian like a hedgehog.

Wang Sun Luo was shocked and led the guards to take a look first.

But in a small tent in the north, a big black-faced man was hit by dozens of short arrows on his back, and the big man seemed to be a servant who had been serving the envoys. And Yue Lingwen was just a little frightened, and he was unharmed.

In order to ensure the personal safety of Wen Chong, Wang Sun Luo ordered Wen Chong to travel with him in the same car and live in the same account, and within a few days, this Wu national guard army went to the outskirts of Huiji City and set up camp. (To be continued......)
