"Zixu, I don't know who do you think it is better for the ministers of the court and the widows to be the envoys to lobby the Chu State?"

He was very hesitant.

He killed the king and usurped the throne for more than a year, and he attracted a lot of talents in his early years!

However, the matter of lobbying the state of Chu is very important, and he really does not dare to entrust it to others.

Who can handle such a heavy burden?

Wu Zixu can, but he has a blood feud with the Chu State, and he resists in his heart, so he can't do it.

"This time to lobby the Chu State, you can't be sloppy. In order to ask the Chu people to send reinforcements, the envoy needs to be a wise man who can speak well and have noble virtues......"

Can speak well and be virtuous?

Looking at Wu Zixu, who was selling Guan in front of him, he Lu was uncertain for a while.

For the wise man in Wu Zixu's mouth, after thinking about it, only one person appeared in his mind-

Jiza!

"Zixu, are you talking about Ji Za?"

"Exactly!"

Wu Zixu said: "The king, the prince is wise and erudite, has both ability and political integrity, and can speak well. ”

"In his early years, he sent many envoys to Jin, Qi, Lu, Wei and other countries on behalf of Wu State, and was highly praised, and the world called Ji Za a sage, a gentleman and a wise man with an ancient legacy."

"If the king can let Gongzi Za send an envoy to Yingdu, he will definitely succeed!"

Hearing this, he was very embarrassed in his heart.

Why?

Because for Ji Za, He Lu is more or less suspicious!

The name of Jiza's virtue is known all over the world.

Many people compare Ji Za to Tai Bo (Wu Taibo), the founding ancestor of the Wu Kingdom.

Taibo was originally the eldest son of King Tai Zhou's ancient father, and the first heir in line to the throne!

But the father, the prince, intends to pass on the young son Ji Li.

Ji Li is the father of King Ji Chang of Zhou Wen and the grandfather of King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu!

King Tai of Zhou had been depressed about this matter, so Taibo gave up the throne, and in the name of collecting medicine, he fled to the barren land of Jing Barbarian and established the state of Wu.

Jiza's situation is even more legendary!

Ji Zha's father is Wu Wang Shoumeng.

When Shoumeng was old, he encountered the same headache as his ancestor Gu Gong's father!

Shoumeng had four sons: the eldest son Zhufan, the second son Yu Sai, the third son Yiyi, and the fourth son Jiza.

Ji Za is the most knowledgeable, benevolent and virtuous of Shoumeng's four sons, so he is deeply favored by Shoumeng, Shoumeng passed the throne to Ji Za, but Ji Za refused to accept it!

So before Shou Meng died, he called his sons to his side, and instructed his eldest son Zhu Fan that the throne must be brother to brother, so that it could finally be passed to Ji Zha's hands, and Zhu Fan responded with tears!

In front of the boss Zhu Fan, he wanted to make Ji Za king, but he was resigned.

The second and third sacrifices were successively the king of Wu, in line with the father's life.

When the third child was dying, he called Ji Za to the sickbed again, wanting to make him the king of Wu, but he was resigned!

As a last resort, Ji Za retired to the mountains and rivers, and worked hard all day to show his firm will, which completely dispelled this idea of the Wu people!

Ji Za's virtue touched the people of Wu State, and they were like the stars and the moon, bent on supporting Ji Za as the king.

Ji Za's three concedes to the country have been rumored to be beautiful for a while!

Later, the son of Yi Yu, Wu Wangyi, was killed by Lu Lu, and Ji Za was very sad and went to the tomb of Wu Wangyi to cry.

He Lu has always been very jealous of Ji Zha's reputation, so he sealed him in Yanling, but Ji Zha has never been sealed, because of Lu Lu's suspicions, Ji Zha was left in Wudu all day long at home and had no ambition!

"Zixu, I'll bother you to make a trip on behalf of the widow and persuade Ji Za to send an envoy to the Chu State."

He Lu really has no shame to face Ji Za!

Wu Zixu was very calm and calm, and said: "Why bother? The king can directly issue an edict and order the prince to send an envoy. ”

"As a person, I will definitely not refuse!"

"Good."

He Lu chose to believe in Wu Zixu.

"In addition, I also asked the king to send people to strengthen the city defenses and strictly defend them. More than half of the king's old troops have been killed and wounded, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city can be sent! ”

"The ministers are afraid that people's hearts will be unpredictable, and in the Wu capital, many officials and people are inclined to celebrate jealousy, so that the soldiers defect when the war starts."

"That's why the minister asked the king to open the treasury and give money and food to the soldiers, so as to stabilize the morale of the army and encourage morale!"

"Okay."

He bowed his head slightly and agreed.

As Wu Zixu said, people's hearts are unpredictable!

At present, He Lu can only use money and food to buy soldiers to sell their lives for themselves.

Otherwise, he didn't dare to guarantee that on the day of the Qingji army's siege of the city, there would be people who would defect and take the opportunity to make trouble!

……

Outside the city of Wudu.

The spear is like a forest, and the flag covers the sky!

Wearing crimson uniforms, the soldiers of the Qingji army crossed the city in the wilderness, roaring loudly, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth.

Qingji stood on a chariot, standing with his sword in his hand, and his eyebrows were full of energy!

Wudu City, covering an extremely wide area, the four city walls are built of rammed earth strip bricks, the city wall is about three zhang high, and there is a murmuring moat outside.

The eight gates were tall and thick, and they were closed tightly at this time.

Although the Qingji army carried a lot of siege equipment such as rushing cars, ladders, and wooden curtains, it was not easy to capture this impregnable Wu capital city!

Therefore, for this city, Qingji wants to outwit rather than attack.

The price to be paid for the assault is too great, and it seems unnecessary for Qingji!

"Ji Guang, you thief who killed the king and usurped the throne, you have the courage to rebel, how can you hide in the city and dare not come out to fight!"

"Listen to the soldiers in the city, how can you be a thief? If you wait for such a thief to abuse, you are not afraid of God's punishment? ”

"I advise you to lay down your arms as soon as possible and surrender immediately, my son-in-law should not be guilty of the past, forgive you for waiting!"

"Ji Guang, you shrunken turtle, a gallless rat, a rebellious thief! I think that the kings of the Great Wu Dynasty were all benevolent and virtuous people, why did you come out with such unkind, unjust, mean and unscrupulous people......"

Under Qingji's orders, a group of soldiers with loud voices stood under the city and shouted and cursed one after another.

In addition to persuasion, it is to insult the murderer and usurp the throne, and win the country unjustly!

Sending a special Zhu to assassinate the Wu royal bureaucrats and usurp the throne, this itself is the black history of He Lu, which cannot be refuted, so He Lu has stayed in the palace and has not come out to be angry.

But when the soldiers at the head of the city heard such a scolding, they only felt ashamed and angry in their hearts, and they were very aggrieved!

However, it is difficult for them to refute it.

If it hadn't been for the opening of the treasury earlier and the distribution of money and grain, the army might have mutinied a long time ago and was shaken by the persuasion of the Qingji army to surrender!

"Damn!"

Rao is like this, the son-in-law who has been guarding the city, but his violent temper can't bear it.

The husband glared at the enemy soldiers who were screaming and scolding under the city, and gritted his teeth and said: "Come on, open the city gate for me, I will go down and kill this group of maniac who are full of dung!" ”

"Wait!"

Wu Zixu, who was on the side, hurriedly stopped the soldiers who went down to give orders.

"Da Sima, why are you stopping me?"

"Childe, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. Please also ask Childe to be patient for the time being, when the time comes, Childe will naturally be able to vent his anger. ”
