Chapter 22 Huimeng Luoshan, the king of Chu is full of spirit to attack Wu
Chen Xiang led the coalition army to return triumphantly, to Los Angeles to worship Jiuding to tell the world, and then summoned the princes of the world to meet the alliance in Luoshan, this time in addition to the Central Plains countries, there is also the southern Wu country, because this expedition to Wu is the only response of the southern countries. Wu was also a prince in the south, but the country was small and the people were widowed, and he was bullied by Chu for a long time. Wu has always wanted to rely on the princes of the Central Plains to balance the Chu state, so this time the alliance Wu State behaved very actively.
On the top of Luoshan, the military appearance is neat and the honor guard is majestic. Chen Xiang held the ox ear on the altar, held the knife to kill the ox and the princes for the blood alliance, and on behalf of the Son of Heaven to divide the princes, the monarch of Wu from the baron to the earl, the status was higher than that of Chu, which made the king of Wu very surprised. Chen Xiang climbed the high platform and looked at it. Everything in the world, in full view. Chen Xiang couldn't help but be excited, full of pride, and couldn't help shouting: "It will be the top of the mountain, and you can see all the mountains at a glance."
The alliance ended, and Chen Xiang returned to the palace of Huacheng. The lights in Cifeng Palace flickered, and Queen Luzhu sat beside Chen Xiang and kept adding ink to the lamp, and Chen Xiang was writing a letter to Xia Ji who was far away in Chu State.
The summer night in Yingcheng, located in the south, is hot and restless, just like Xia Ji's mood at this moment. Xia Ji turned off the banquet hosted by the King of Chu to entertain the Zhou envoy on the grounds that she was unwell tonight, and quietly read Chen Xiang's letter in the moonlight.
Xia Ji was very excited, her hand holding the letter trembled slightly, she was in the lonely palace of the King of Chu, and the only thing that could bring her comfort was Chen Xiang's letter; Xia Ji is also very conflicted, knowing that there will only be cold orders and instructions from that person in the letters, but every time she has to deceive herself and read the letters over and over again, just to find the words she wants to see. She finally gave up once more, silently put away the letter, and fetched the oil lamp to reduce it to ashes.
In the middle of the night, the King of Chu came to Xia Ji's dormitory drunkenly - Wushan Goddess Palace. As soon as she entered the door and shouted, the queen fell to the ground. Seeing this, Xia Ji hurriedly helped the king of Chu up and ordered someone to bring warm herbal tea for the king of Chu to clean and calm his nerves. Xia Ji asked, "Why did the king drink so much wine today, I knew that this was the case, and the witch must be by his side." The king of Chu hurriedly said: "The queen is not to blame for this matter, the queen is fortunate not to go tonight, otherwise she will be angry and ashamed." Xia Ji asked in surprise, "But what's the matter?"
The king of Chu calmed down slightly, and then said indignantly: "The envoy of Zhou was rude, and he actually reprimanded this king in person for not obeying the order of the Son of Heaven to send troops to fight against the dogs, and praised King Wu in person for crowning him as an earl, and his status was higher than that of this king, so that this king was embarrassed in front of his ministers, and he was really angry and killed this king." Hearing this, Xia Ji asked coldly: "Let me ask the king, have the monarchs of my Chu State ever received preferential treatment from the Zhou family?" Can the state of Chu be treated equally with the countries of the Central Plains? King Chu shook his head. Xia Ji continued: "Since Zhou Tianzi did not regard the Chu State as a fellow clan, why should we listen to its division and raise it to worship." Seeing that the King of Chu was thoughtful, Xia Ji immediately changed his words and said: "But this time the alliance, the heart of Wu State to betray me is obvious. Recently, I heard that King Wu is working hard, and he has close ties with the Central Plains countries, and he is very diligent in worshiping the Zhou royal family, and he has the potential to take the status of my Chu State. ”
When the king of Chu heard this, he was angry from the heart, and said angrily: "You little girl, you dare to try to make me a big Chu, and see how this king cleans you up." Xia Ji hurriedly soothed, the anger of the king of Chu decreased slightly, and the strength of the wine came up, and he immediately fell asleep.
In the palace of Chu, the ministers were indignant, and the king of Chu was even more excited, and the king of Chu was discussing the matter of killing Wu with the ministers. At this time, there was a person who jumped out of the train, this person was the doctor Qu Yuan, Qu Yuan stood in the hall and said loudly: "Wu State is newly sealed, if my Chu State attacks Wu at this time, it will embarrass the Zhou family, cause the princes to be dissatisfied, and it will be greatly disadvantageous to my Chu State, and I hope the king will think twice." The king of Chu waved his hand and said: "The Zhou family treats me like an abandoned son, and the princes regard me as a tiger and wolf. After the king of Chu finished speaking, he saw another person walking out of the train and shouted: "The king is wise, and the king is mighty." Go all out to kill Wu, God bless Dachu. "This person is none other than Dr. Fei Wuji.
The resolution of an all-out war against Wu was finally settled in the noisy shouting of the king of Chu and the ministers, with Wu Hao as the general, Fei Wuji's son Fei Tong as the deputy general of the supervising army, with 100,000 troops under his command, and set off on an auspicious day.
