Chapter 24 Zixu worships the general, Chen Xiang points at Jing Chu
In the palace of the king of the slippery, Chen Xiang and Lu Zhu were eating, and suddenly there was a report from the palace maid outside the door, and there was a person outside the palace who claimed to be the younger brother of the monarch, Wu Zixu, who asked to see him. Seeing that the goddess of the palace had a different color, Chen Xiang threw out the chopsticks before he had time to ask carefully.
Rushing outside the palace, he saw an old man with white hair and beard standing in the wind with tears, Chen Xiang looked carefully, and suddenly blurted out: "Brother Wu Yuanxian, is it you?" The old man burst into tears and nodded his head. Seeing this, Chen Xiang's heart was like a knife, and he asked, "You and I have only been separated for more than a year, how did the virtuous brother become like this?" Wu Zixu looked excited, his whole body convulsed, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and he fainted to the ground. Chen Xiang hurriedly ordered someone to help him back to the dormitory and summoned the imperial doctor for treatment.
After a while, seeing the imperial doctor come out, Chen Xiang asked eagerly, "How is my brother?" The imperial physician replied: "Don't worry, the king, General Wu is just sick with grief, and he has been running around for days and has no physical strength, so he is so excited that his blood is surging and he faints. The minister has prescribed some medicine to calm the nerves and strengthen the body and take it with General Wu, and it will be no major problem if he recuperates for a few days. ”
Chen Xiang was slightly relieved, pushed the door in, and saw that Wu Zixu had woken up, so he approached the bed and asked, "Can you explain to my brother what has happened in the past year?" Wu Zixu calmed down a little, and then told Chen Xiang in detail how his father was killed.
Chen Xiang sighed uncontrollably while listening, and said with tears in his eyes: "When the virtuous brother is in better health, my brother will worship the virtuous brother as the general of the slippery country, and command the soldiers of the whole country to seek justice from the king of Chu, and he will not waste the talent of the virtuous brother." Wu Zixu immediately wanted to get out of bed and bow down when he heard this, but Chen Xiang hurriedly stopped him, pushed and shoved for a while, and finally pushed Wu Zixu to the bed again. At this time, Lu Zhu also happened to hear about it, and when he saw Wu Zixu, he was relieved and persuaded again.
Wu Zixu recuperated in the palace for a few days, and his mental and physical health were restored as before, but the gray hair on his head could not be recovered.
In the past few days, Chen Xiang and his wife have come to visit every day, and today seeing that Wu Zixu has recovered, Chen Xiang said: "Brother Xian's body should be fine, and my brother will wait for Brother Xian tomorrow on the platform of the general." Wu Zixu bowed to the ground when he heard this.
The next morning, the sun rose in the east, shining brightly. Wu Zixu was dressed in a military uniform, his eyes looked at the high platform, and he was bright.
"The ceremony begins." With the shouts of pedestrians, the surrounding gongs and drums suddenly became noisy, and flags were displayed. The people of the slippery city are crowded, and thousands of people are empty, all want to see the demeanor of the first general of the slippery country. Wu Zixu shook his spirits and walked slowly towards the Fengjiangtai where Chen Xiang was located with firm steps.
"Please grant the seal to the king." The shouts of pedestrians started again, Chen Xiang took the seal ribbon in the hand of the palace man next to him and handed it to Wu Zixu, Wu Zixu knelt down to thank him, and then raised the seal ribbon and turned to face the three armies, and the soldiers of the three armies shouted in unison: "The general is mighty, the king is mighty, and the country is mighty."
Since Wu Zixu took up the post of general, he has used all what he has learned, used all his skills, and led the troops to practice every day, sweeping away the decadent wind of the slippery army, and making it an elite division that can carry out orders and prohibitions, and can fight and defend. At the same time, Wu Zixu also attaches great importance to the discovery and cultivation of talents, and under his guidance, a large number of outstanding generals have come to the fore, and the army of the country is no longer the rabble with soldiers and no generals.
Chen Xiang saw everything in his eyes and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Sometimes he will feel guilty in his heart, but if he doesn't drain the pool, how can the dragon soar into the sea and set off the waves. Brother Wu Yuan, even if you don't live for your brother, and wait for me to achieve a thousand years of meritorious deeds, and let you dispose of the decayed and broken body.
Let's say that after the execution of Wu Hao in the Chu State, the Chu army led the army back to the division, and the siege of the Wu State was temporarily lifted. But the king of Wu knew that the king of Chu would not give up, and he would definitely reorganize after this matter. Therefore, the king of Wu hurriedly sent an envoy to Huaguo to ask Chen Xiang to see him, and Chen Xiang immediately decided to meet with the envoy.
The envoy of Wu came to the main hall and bowed: "I, Wu Guo, serve Zhou Tianzi and Doctor Ji diligently, but I don't want to be hated by the Chu people, and I want to kill the people of my Wu State, and ask the king to read the diligence of my Wu country's service, and can send troops to protect my Wu Guozong Ancestral Hall." Then bow and prostrate. Chen Xiang walked down the hall, picked up the envoy, and comforted: "Respect the envoy and be relieved, you can go back and report to the king of your family, the king of Chu has no way, my slippery country has long been evil, when I rectify the army and mobilize people and horses, I will attack the state of Chu on both sides with your Wu country." Everything is at the mercy of the king's arrangement. After hearing this, Wu Envoy was grateful, and hurriedly returned to China after thanking him.
Chen Xiang climbed Luoshan Mountain, looking at the south with his eyes, but seeing the fertile fields for thousands of miles, he had an unobstructed view, and his chest was full of pride, and he swung his sword to the sky, and the blade of the sword pointed straight at the sky.
