Chapter 56: Assassination of Qingji

To leave the entrustment of Qingji, he secretly sent Yue Peng to infiltrate Wu State, explain the incident to the soldiers, and let the soldiers plan and agree to Qingji's request, as Qingji's internal response when he attacked Wu.

The soldiers repaired a letter and asked Yue Peng to bring it back to defend the country and return to leave, pretending to promise to be in Gusu Ce.

If you want to leave the army and return to the book, you will go to the Qingji Mansion to pay respects to Qingji.

To leave: "In the letter, the soldier secretly instructed me to keep an eye on the prince's ambitions. If the prince has great ambitions and can be relied on; The soldiers will consider helping the prince to restore the country. But he has one condition - after the matter is completed, the prince will promise to avenge his soldiers, and he can't break his promise and shirk his promise after he gets the throne. If the prince can do this, the military members will be willing to be the prince's internal response to Wu. "After speaking, I will present the reply letter of the soldier.

Qingji took a closer look, and was still a little defensive in his heart. He had no contact with the soldiers at all, and it was difficult to know the authenticity of the letter, so he kept silent.

Seeing that Qingji was hesitant, he raised his arms and shouted: "Now that the monarchs and ministers of Wu are out of harmony, it is a good time to use troops. If the crown prince does not take advantage of this time to send troops, he will have no chance after King Wu and Zixu Junchen reunite in the future. The crown prince and I will both lose this great opportunity for revenge. Now the soldiers are willing to act as an internal response to atone for the sins of the cave chamber conspiring with the ancestors. Why didn't the prince seize the opportunity and lead the troops to attack Wu? After saying that, he cried loudly and hit his head on the wooden pillar in the hall, wanting to die.

"The villain has come thousands of miles to vote, endure humiliation, and place the hope of revenge on the prince's door, but it is a pity that I am not human!"

The dwarf cried dumbly in the hall, prostrate on the ground and beat his feet and chest, with some hatred that iron is not steel.

Qing Ji saw that it was not a matter, so he stood up and stopped: "Mr. doesn't have to be like this. I'll just listen to him! ”

So Qing Ji gathered his advisers and dead soldiers, and discussed the strategy of sending troops to attack Wu in the palace.

Qingji passed down the order: all the soldiers and soldiers set out from the village of Weiguo and stationed troops in their own lair, Aicheng between Wu and Chu. He ordered him to leave Aicheng to train soldiers, renovate the boat, and prepare for the opportunity to defeat Wu. At this point, it is necessary to leave the reward of the guests, and as the confidant of Qingji, he will be on the right and left of Qingji.

Qingji arrived in Aicheng, because he had nothing to do with the Chu State, and other princes and small countries did not dare to borrow troops to meet Qingji. Qingji only relied entirely on the men and horses he had gathered over the years, with a slight number of 1,000 soldiers. There are more than 20 warships on the water. But these soldiers are all strong in martial arts, and they are basically elites who have fled from various vassal states, so their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

Under the careful training of Yaoli, Qingji often went to the military camp to practice martial arts in person, and the soldiers were already proficient in various formations and tactics. Therefore, it is necessary to leave the advice Qingji, write a letter to contact the soldiers privately, explain the specific date of the army to attack Wu, and let the soldiers prepare and respond in Gusu.

Qingji swore an oath in Aicheng, worshiped heaven and earth, prepared grain and grass, played the banner of recovering the country, gathered exiles, and raised troops to attack Wu.

And the detailed report shows that Wu is on the northwest border, and he has already sent a large army to treat each other. It is necessary to leave the advice of Qingji, let the soldiers take the warship down the river, detour through the place where the Wu army is stationed, make a detour, and then lead the army commander to drive straight in, not to attack the city and pull out the village, but to go deep and take Gusu alone.

Qingji thought that the plan to leave was very good, so he ordered the soldiers to go down the river in a warship, wanting to attack the state of Wu.

On this day, the army was launched, and Qingji took a big boat, led the navy, and went out of Aicheng. This ship is the flagship of the Qingji Naval Army, and its name is "Wusang".

If you want to leave the same boat with Qingji, you should leave the "Wusang" big ship at this time, because the ship is large and there are many sailors, so the speed of travel is extremely fast. In a short time, "Ussan" was already alone in front of the entire naval division, and the ships behind were far away from the ship because of their slow speed.

If you want to leave, please Yu Qingji said: "My ship is the flagship, and all ships take my ship as an order." The prince might as well go to the bow of the ship and give a word to the sailors and soldiers. How about a morale boost? ”

Qingji was naturally willing, came to the bow of the ship and sat down, and admonished the soldiers. Hold the spear in your left hand and stand on the underside.

After taking a closer look, he saw that Qingji's guards were a few steps away, so he clenched the short spear and held his breath.

At this time, the sky turned dark, as if there was a sign of a thunderstorm. Instantly, a strong wind blew from below, and the wind was very strong. Although it is necessary to leave people at the bottom of Qingji, it is the upper hand direction of Qingji at this time.

The wind blew up and made Qingji's eyes astringent, so Qingji squinted his eyes, blocked his forehead with his arm, and built a pergola. At this moment, I saw that I was about to get up, and with the help of the wind, I held a short spear in my left hand and stabbed Qingji's heart.

There was a screeching sound of shattering from the heavy armor, and the sharp spear tip condensed the liliang that was about to leave everything. The castration of this spear was very fast, piercing through Qingji's heart, and the tip of the spear pierced through the back.

Although Qingji, who was sitting in the bow of the ship, was hit hard, he still reacted very quickly, holding the spear on his chest with one hand, and the other hand had already been pushed away, lifting it with one hand and placing it on his knees. Then he freed his other hand and held it firmly.

Then Qing Ji lifted the head of the person who wanted to leave upside down, and inserted the head of the person who wanted to leave into the water, repeating it several times.

The guards on the left and right came and wanted to stab with their halberds to leave. Although Qingji was soaked in blood in his mouth and had a short spear in his chest, he still smiled and stopped: "Those who dare to slash at me Qingji must be the warriors of the world!" If you want to succeed today, it is God's will not bless me to celebrate jealousy! How can two warriors in the world die together in one day? ”

So Qingji repeatedly admonished the left and right, passed the order, and let go to return to Wu: "To leave the mission, to be able to be loyal to the Lord, such heroes in the world, must show their courage to show their wisdom!" After speaking, Qingji put Yaoli back on the boat, and then pulled out a short spear from his chest, only to see Qingji's blood flowing, screaming, and fell to his death.

Qingji's left and right guards obeyed Qingji's last words, and wanted to leave and return to China, but they refused to leave. Everyone was very puzzled, so they quit and said: "We are following the prince's orders, not that we can't kill you!" Now give you a way to live, and you can go yourself, lest the generals regret it, and then you can't go if you want to. ”

Looking at the river surface, he refused to do it, and said to everyone: "There are three reasons why I can't stand in the world, even if the prince has a life, I don't want to live!" ”

The crowd asked what the "three nos" were.

To leave the road: "I conspired with the prince with bitter meat, and I was killed in order to succeed in my family, and I lost my kindness." This one is not tolerated; In order to help the newly established king of Wu, I assassinated the prince of the previous king, I am unjust, and these two cannot be tolerated by the world; In order to calm the king's heart, he paid a huge price for his adult affairs, and it was unwise to lose his wife and children. For this intolerable reason, what face do I want to stand in the world? ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and threw himself into the river.

But the sailors on board also went into the water to rescue them. He said angrily, "I have already said that I don't want to be a human being, so why do you want to save me on the boat?" ”

When those people saw that Qingji was dead and the dragons were leaderless, they wanted to disperse. The sailor persuaded him to leave: "Since you have fulfilled your mission and removed the troubles in your heart for the king of Wu, you will be rewarded when you return to the country of Wu!" ”

To leave the sad said: "I can even give up my family and wife, do I still care about these lords?" ”

"If you bring me and the prince's bodies back to Wu, you will naturally be rewarded by King Wu. Today, the prince has gone, so you can wait for everyone to disperse. King Wu is a promising king, why do you want to seek death? Then he wanted to leave the lawsuit to Yuepeng and Alisell in Aicheng, and tell everyone that they should go to Yuepeng and Alisell, and then follow the two back to Wu, and they will have a reward.

After speaking, he snatched the sword from the hand of the armorer, cut off his own foot, and then cut his throat and killed himself.

As soon as Qingji died, most of the 1,000 soldiers dispersed. Only a few remnants of the soldiers led the corpses of Qingji and Yao to Aicheng to join Yue Peng and sell quickly. The two collected the remnants of Qingji, sent back the body of He Qingji with a coffin, and the group returned to Wu.

King Wu received the report from the soldiers and knew that Qingji was dead, and he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. So he rewarded the soldiers and collected them in the ranks.

He said to the ministers: "The widow wants to borrow the courage to leave and guard the country for Wu Guozhen!" Then he posthumously gave his wife the nickname, in order to leave the temple, and sacrifice every year.

He Lu was buried with the rites of the prince on the side of the tomb of the king, and they were all given a thick burial.

Since then, Wu's foreign troubles have been eliminated, monarchs and ministers get along, and Wu has begun to move towards the road of becoming a strong country and the road of hegemony.

Extra:

King Wu Lu borrowed the strategy of the soldiers, and the courage of the people killed the king's bureaucrats and won the country and seized the throne. And the old prince Qingji fled outside, like a fish in his throat. Later, he wanted to leave, and in the name of a greedy knight, he used the bitter meat strategy to gain the trust of Qingji, and then took the opportunity to kill him. With the exception of these two, you will be able to sit on the throne and sit back and relax.

He Lu and the soldiers were about to attack the Chu State according to their own design and schedule, which was really providential, but the Chu State had civil strife.

In fact, at the beginning of the Lu Dynasty, when he was preparing to remove Qingji, the internal fighting of the Chu State had already begun. Let's go back and see what happened to the state of Chu during these times. Please see the next volume of "Cannibalism and Infighting"
