Chapter 14 The Restoration of the King of Chu
Sure enough, when King Wu heard this, his face turned as black as charcoal, and his eyes seemed to be eating people again!
He never imagined that this General Sun Da would be so cowardly, could it be that the person who could write "The Art of War" would not know how to fight? How could there be a reason to retreat first without a single battle?
When his eyes were aimed at Wu Zixu, he actually agreed with Sun Wu's opinion: "Great King, General Sun is reasonable! We can win a battle with 300,000 Chu troops, but if we face millions of Chu people, we are not sure! Besides, there are still 300,000 Five Nations Alliance in Bacheng, and if Song, Wei, and Cao are involved again, then we will have to face 500,000 vassal alliances! Therefore, we should accept it as soon as we see it, accept the suggestions of General Xiao Han and Princess Taiping, and let Chu State be called a minister and pay tribute! Forget about King Chu Zhao, let's let him go and fight again in the future!"
He is really shrewd, he is worthy of being the lord of the Xiangguo of the Wu State, and he immediately put the interests of the country first, and calculated the accounts clearly, even the king of Chu Zhao let it go, and he didn't want to start another war, so as not to lose his life, and the Wu State would not be able to benefit!
Wu Wang Lu thought for a moment, and finally agreed, and smiled, you are very right, we will withdraw our troops as planned! However, there is still a battle, which of you will resist the Five Nations Alliance?
"My lord, my brother is willing to go! I don't believe that our Wu army can't defeat the Five Nations Alliance! Hmph, I must give those boys a little color to see!"
It seems that he is very anxious, and he can't wait to start a war with the Five Nations Alliance immediately!
Wu Wang Lu glanced at Sun Wu, and saw that he didn't say anything, and Wu Zixu also had a noncommittal look, sighed secretly, and then smiled, Okay, husband, the widow ordered you to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to meet the enemy, only victory, not defeat!
"No!" the man immediately fluttered like a wild dog robbing food, and quickly led the troops!
I was stunned by the people of Wu Kingdom: What's wrong with him? Strange, this doesn't look like his style!
Wu Wang Lu smiled with satisfaction: "Haha, if we have a husband to command the army, we can stay in Yingdu for a while with peace of mind! Hehe, this Chu Kingdom is really good, much better than the palace of our Wu Kingdom, to be honest, the widow really doesn't want to go back to Gusu! Alas, it's a pity that we have to go back again!"
"Since the king doesn't want to go back, it's better for us to occupy Yingdu, spread the word to the world, and destroy Wu in heaven!"
King Wu's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and when he was about to speak, Sun Wu had already spoken first: "Bury, aren't you driving our Wu Kingdom to a dead end? May I ask Lord Bury, how do we deal with this five-nation alliance? And the Chu people have begun to resist, how much Chu can you resist? Why don't you let Lord Bury convince the Chu people, anyway, Lord Bury is also a Chu person!"
Hearing this, Burry's face turned red, and he wished that there was a crack in the ground and got into it himself!
Even Wu Zixu, who had always hated Chu, blushed, at this time, he had some remorse, and then smiled, Great King, General Sun has taught the right lesson! We must take the survival of Wu State as the first mention, and we can't be happy for a while, otherwise, I'm afraid that we won't even be able to go back to Gusu, so we still discuss how to retreat!
Well, you two are reasonable, very good, then, General Sun, it is up to you to arrange the retreat, Fucha, General Enbo, assist General Sun, we have negotiated the conditions with the Chu people, and we will withdraw the army!
Wu Wang Lu finally agreed to withdraw his troops, and Sun Wu breathed a sigh of relief: if he insisted on going his own way, he was afraid that this Wu State would be in danger!
How did he know that Wu Guo was already in danger, but they didn't know it yet!
On August 16, the sky was clear and cloudless!
Early in the morning, Feng Hu urged Shen Baoxu, Lord Shen, we should go to Yunmengze to ask the king to return to Yingdu, there is a five-nation alliance here, and the Wu people dare not mess around!
No, no, no! General Feng, please slow down the matter of the king! Hehe, Doctor Huangfu, what do you think of today's heavenly situation? Does it indicate that our Chu country has excellent national fortunes? Can we turn things around?
While speaking, Shen Baoxu was already full of pride!
Huangfu Xuan glanced at him with admiration and smiled happily: "Haha, I didn't expect that Lord Shen is also a master of celestial physiognomy, last night, the white star in the east was in place, and the white tiger tended to move, which is showing that there will be a war in the east, and it should be in the land of Wu and Yue! Hehe, our Chu people are safe! Could it be that the Yue Kingdom took advantage of the emptiness of the Wu State and wanted to take the old nest of the Wu State?"
When he said this, he couldn't help but laugh!
Feng Hu and Shen Baoxu next to him also laughed, and then, Feng Hu hurriedly ordered Zixi: "General Zixi, quickly send Xi Zuo into Wu and Yue to check the war, hehe, maybe, we don't need to cut land to the Wu people, and we don't need to pay tribute! We Chu people want to pay tribute, and only Zhou Tianzi is worthy of it, haha!"
"What are you laughing at?Can Gongzi Ning and Ziang listen to it?" At this time, Han Ziang and Gongzi Ning had already come over.
Shen Baoxu hurriedly told him about the heavenly phase, and the two of them were also happy after hearing it, and they both smiled proudly!
While being happy, Gongzi Ning was still a little skeptical, and smiled: "Is there really something about the study of heavenly physiognomy? Could it be that all the affairs of the world are in the heavenly phase?" Then, Mr. Huangfu, is there anything about our master, General Han, in this heavenly phase?"
"Haha, of course, the emperor star shined last night, coinciding with the birth of the Tai'a Sword, so the Tai'a Sword is the Emperor's Star, and whoever has the Tai'a Divine Sword in the future will be the one who can trust the world, and then, the world will be unified!"
"Ah!" everyone sighed when they heard this: Could this really be the will of heaven? But who will be the true master of the Tai'a Divine Sword?
But no one dared to ask, for fear of being disappointed again!
Han Ziang thought about it for a while, and finally asked Huangfu Xuan: "I wonder if Mr. Huangfu can guess who is the real owner of the Tai'a Divine Sword?
"Alas, General Han is blind at this point! I can only observe the celestial phase, as for who is the real owner of the Tai'a Sword, ask your younger brother General Han, isn't it enough?" Huangfu Xuan sighed.
Han Ziang was stunned, and then smiled: Yes, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask Xiao Han?
When he thought of this, his eyebrows fluttered, and the people next to him all cast envious glances: Could it be that this sword is really from the Jin Kingdom? Aren't General Xiao Han and Princess Taiping all human?
So, one by one, they all hung their heads again, and their faces were naturally ugly!
Chu General Zixi had already sent Xizuo according to Feng Hu's order, and when he came back, he smiled when he saw their expressions, what's wrong with you? Hehe, it's time for breakfast, and then, we have to march to Yingdu!
Everyone sighed again and went to breakfast, but Han Ziang was the only one who looked happy and picked up a big baby!
Subsequently, Feng Hu, Shen Baoxu, and Jing Wu still went to invite King Chu Zhao as planned!
Yun Mengze's King Chu Zhao hadn't eaten for a day, and for some reason Yun'er forgot to bring him food, or, what happened to her?
Just as he was thinking nonsense, the girl in white appeared!
His face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked her, Yun'er, why haven't you sent anything to the widow for a day? What happened? Do you want to starve the widow to death?
The king forgives the sin! Yun'er inquired about the news, so there was no time to bring food to the king!
When King Chu Zhao saw her happy, he knew that there was good news, so he quickly devoured it, and at the same time, asked her to tell the news she had heard!
He hadn't heard good news for a long time: since Wu Jun killed, he was embarrassed, first fled in panic, then hid in Yunmengze, and then nested in a place where birds don't, and didn't dare to move!
It's been a long time since he's breathed fresh air, and he's almost a prisoner, trapped in a cell!
Na Yun'er hurriedly told the news that had recently caused a sensation in the world, and then smiled charmingly: "King, that Tai'a Divine Sword is flying away, and King Wu is empty! Perhaps, our Chu State has a chance to get the Tai'a Divine Sword, and the king's restoration is bound to be just around the corner! Lord Shen Baoxu has invited Qin, Jin, Qi, Yue, and other countries to help the king restore the country!"
"Ah, really?" Suddenly, King Chu Zhao's mood rose from a low point, climbing higher and higher, almost reaching the clouds!
That Yun'er smiled charmingly again, smiled, naturally it is true, maybe, Lord Shen, they will soon come to pick up the king and return to the palace of Chu, king, will you forget the slave family by then!
His eyes were already full of spring water, and his whole face was red!
The warmth on his face naturally made King Chu Zhao moved, and an unbearable emotion rose, and without thinking about it, he immediately hugged Yun'er in his arms, kissing and talking sweetly, and the movements in his hands were unruly!
Na Yun'er was drunk in her heart and wanted to refuse, but she didn't dare or didn't want to: this is exactly what the Zheng family wants, and what she looks forward to day and night, how dare she say no?
Seeing this, King Chu Zhao was even more happy, and immediately carried her into his hidden hut, and Wushan Yunyu went.
When they came out again, King Chu Zhao was about to send Yun'er, only to see that Shen Baoxu, Feng Hu, and Jing Wu were already waiting for him on the path!
King Chu Zhao looked embarrassed, and when he was about to speak, Shen Baoxu and Feng Hu had already bowed to the ground: "Long live the king!"
Only Jing Wu gave a cold look, and he didn't even look at King Zhao, and he didn't care about himself!
Lord Shen, I heard that you have invited the soldiers and horses of the Qin State and other vassal states? General Feng, where is the Tai'a Divine Sword? Is it a widow's sword?" asked King Chu Zhao eagerly.
It seems that, like all the princes and monarchs, he is most concerned: the ownership of the Tai'a Divine Sword!
Feng Hu sighed, stood up, looked dazed, and immediately said, Back to the king, the Tai'a Divine Sword has flown into the sky, and even my master and mother are gone! The whereabouts of the sword are unknown, maybe, sooner or later, it will belong to my Chu State!
King Chu Zhao looked lost, thought about it, sighed, and then asked excitedly, then, when can the widow go back to the palace of King Chu?
"Back to the king, at present, our five-nation alliance army has been stationed in Bacheng, and the king still has some patience! The king can go back to Bacheng with us, and we will return to the country when the Wu people go! According to the calculation of Lord Huangfu Xuan, there will be war in the east in the near future, and perhaps, we can restore the country without spending a single soldier!" Shen Baoken hurriedly said.
King Chu Zhao was immediately happy and laughed, Okay, let's go back to Bacheng! Well, Yun'er, from today onwards, you will be the widow's princess now!
"Thank you, the king! The whole family of the slave family has long been ready to restore the kingdom for the king, and the people of Xiangcheng have already raised a lot of military funds for the king! Lord Shen, General Feng can take him to Bacheng to reward the alliance of the five countries!" said Zheng Yun'er quickly.
At this time, she had a straight face, told the two of them about the situation of the nearby soldiers and civilians one by one, and finally said, let's just wait for the king and the general to lead us to return to the country!
"Okay, Niangniang really deserves to be the princess of my Chu State!Haha, General Feng, you and Jing Shaoxia handle this matter together! Oh, by the way, the king, this is the Yue people Jing Wu, the apprentice of the sword god General Han! The king wants to thank him for running for us!" Shen Baoxu hurriedly introduced Jing Wu.
Seeing Jing Wu sneering, Feng Hu hurriedly pulled him, and only then did he salute King Chu Zhao, but he didn't kneel down to him!
King Chu Zhao was stunned, but he didn't dare to offend him, and when he was hesitating, Zheng Yun'er actually knelt down to thank Jing Wu, which made him look embarrassed, so he had to quickly kneel down to thank him, which dissolved the embarrassment of King Chu Zhao.
Then, he immediately became full of energy: "Haha, thank you Mr. Jing, and the two adults! Very good, let's go to Xiangcheng, General Fengda, you pack up your military horses, let's go to Bacheng, and join the Five Nations Alliance! If the Wu people don't retreat and want to forcibly occupy Yingdu, we will fight him to the end!"
At this time, he had the momentum of a monarch to some extent, and everyone was overjoyed when they saw it, and hurriedly responded: "No!"
Just as Feng Hu ambushed the soldiers and horses of Xiangcheng, reorganized and prepared to go to Bacheng, Gongzi Ning had already sent news: Wu Guofu had led the army back to Wu first, and then, Wu Wang Lu evacuated Yingdu, it seems that the Wu people had a civil strife, I heard that the husband occupied Gusu and had established himself as the king of Wu!
Everyone was overjoyed, and King Chu Zhao's eyebrows suddenly danced: "Okay, very good! Haha, Lord Shen, is this called 'evil retribution'? Haha, King Wu Lu, this old horseman, is arrogant, destroying my temple, and still wants to destroy my Chu country, it's just a fool's dream!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The king is blessed with great fortune, long live the king!" After speaking, Shen Baoxu had already taken the lead in bowing to the ground.
When the Chu people saw this, they immediately knelt down: "The king is blessed with Qitian, long live the king!"
Only Jing Wu was an exception, he looked at it and sneered again, it seems that he still didn't think of this King Chu Zhao as a thing!
When King Chu Zhao saw this, he was naturally displeased, but he didn't dare to offend him, knowing that he was the apprentice of the sword god General Xiao Han, how could he dare to offend?
Calmly accepted the worship of the Chu people, he pretended to be modest, Mr. Jing, for today's plan, my Chu country has been restored in sight, I don't know if we can take advantage of the victory to pursue the Wu people?
His eyes also swept to Feng Hu, and Shen Baoxu!
"Hmph, that's a way to die! Is General Sun Wu so provoked?" Jing Wu is welcome!
