Chapter 27 The soldiers surrounded Langya, and the king of Yue succumbed to slavery

Chen Xiang was in charge of everything in the state of Chu, and at the same time ordered Wu Zixu to reorganize his army for battle, and the army was ready to set off at any time.

On this day, the envoy of Wu State visited. I saw that the envoy was full of vegetarian clothes, and when he came to the main hall, he fell to the ground and wept bitterly: "King Qiyu, my Wu country was attacked by the Yue country for no reason, and the king of Wu led the army to fight, but in the Huiji Mountain, the king of Yue practiced tricks, and the army was defeated and died, and I hope that the kingdom will be the master of the Wu country." Chen Xiang was shocked when he heard this, and said regretfully: "Brother Lu, I didn't expect that the farewell of the Chu Palace would become an eternal secret, and the scene of fighting side by side together in the past is still vivid, but now it is separated by yin and yang, woo hoo and mourn." After saying that, he sobbed and sobbed, Chen Xiang wiped his tears and said to the envoy: "I wanted to lead troops to help Wu before, but the affairs were complicated and I couldn't get out, so I didn't know that there would be such bad news." Your envoy can rest assured, I will order the general Wu Zixu to personally lead a large army to help you cut down Vietnam. Wu Envoy knelt down and thanked him.

However, it was said that the king of Wu led his troops away that day, and he was so angry that he wanted to immediately slash the king of Yue, so he ran all the way to Huiji Mountain, and he was already sleepy and tired.

The battle between the two armies was imminent, but a group of men and horses suddenly appeared in front of the Vietnamese army, shouting loudly and throwing the sword into the air, the body did not move, and the sharp sword fell down and penetrated from the top of the head. The Wu army was greatly shocked when he saw this, and the Vietnamese army took the opportunity to attack in a big way, and then defeated the Wu army, and the king of Wu was also seriously injured in the middle of the escape, and arrived at the palace of the king of Wu, and hurriedly appointed his son and husband as the king and explained everything afterwards, and then died of poison.

Let's say that after Wu Zixu got the order, he led a large army into Wu on the same day, and the new king of Wu was overjoyed when he got the news, and immediately reorganized his army to fight, and joined Wu Zixu outside the city of Gusu.

As soon as the two armies converged, the momentum doubled, rushed into the border to cross the left and the right to kill, such as entering the realm of no one, they arrived at Langya City in a few days, Wu Zixu ordered the two armies of Wu to besiege Langya City.

In the palace of the king of Yue, the king of Yue was like sitting on pins and needles, and urgently summoned Wen Zhong and Fan Li to discuss the way to break the siege. Wen Zhong said: "This time, the two armies of Slippery and Wu are attacking, the momentum is violent, and there is the command of Wu Zixu, the general of the Slippery Country, and the soldiers are strong and unmatched. And my Yue country is weak, and now I can only grieve the king to surrender to protect my Yue Guo Temple. When the king of Yue heard this, he was furious and said: "How can the eldest husband suffer such a great shame and humiliation when he dies on the battlefield." At this time, Fan Li stepped forward and knelt down and wept: "The husband can bend and stretch, and the king will be humiliated inhumanely." But as long as the green mountains are stayed, we will have hope of rejuvenation in the country, and we hope that the king will think twice. After hearing this, King Yue laughed wildly, vomited several liters of blood, and fell headlong on the main hall, Wen Zhong Fan Li hurriedly responded.

At noon that day, in the big tent of the slippery army, Wu Zixu was perusing the secret letter of Chen Xiang that had just been sent. After reading it, he heard the report of the sergeant outside the tent, and King Wu asked the general to go to Langya City quickly to discuss important matters before the battle.

When Wu Zixu came to the front of the formation, he saw that the soldiers of the Wu army were crowded, and they seemed to be happily discussing something. Looking around, I saw that the gate of Langya City was opened, and a person walked out of the city, carrying the coffin, it was Goujian, the king of Yue.

When King Yue walked in, King Wu roared angrily: "Gou Jian old thief, this king will take your life today to sacrifice my father's spirit in the sky." After that, he was about to draw his sword and face each other, Wu Zixu hurriedly stopped and said: "The king can't, now the king of Yue has come to surrender with a coffin, and it is ominous to kill." And kill him like this, how can you dissipate the king's anger, it is better to leave him alive as a slave for the time being, wouldn't it be happy? King Wu groaned a little and slowly put away his sword. Seeing this, the king of Yue hurriedly bowed and said: "The criminal minister Gou Jian is willing to be driven by the king's enslavement for the rest of his life, in order to offset the crime of ten thousand deaths of the guilty minister, I only hope that the king can let go of the innocent people of my Yue country, all the blame is my Gou Jian alone, and it has nothing to do with the people." When the people of Yue heard this, they all wept bitterly, and they all knelt down and begged King Wu for forgiveness

Seeing this, King Wu relented for a while, and felt that it was not easy to refute Wu Zixu's face, so he said stupidly: "This king will look at General Wu's face today, and I will keep your temple." But you must be taken to the kingdom of Wu as a slave and a servant, so as to set an example; The people of your country are vassals of me, and the taxes on grain and rice should be paid tribute. King Yue threw himself on the ground and kowtowed. The Wu army was all overjoyed, striking the ground with Ge, and the momentum shook the sky, and the pride on King Wu's face was also overflowing.
