Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, Fan Li thought while dancing the sword, how can a manly man be afraid of a strong enemy? As a hero who stands up to the sky, such as Fan Li, they are not afraid of having no friends, they are afraid of having no enemies, especially the opponents who are evenly matched, because the fierce enemies are the driving force that helps them to rise to the top of the clouds. Without friends, they will only sigh the loneliness of life, the boredom of life, and the boredom of life, and without enemies, their lives will wither.

A man with a height of eight feet and a round waist instantly entered Fan Li's eyes, yes, it must be him - Wu Zixu. His destined rival is also a political enemy, a political enemy who has caused him thousands of troubles in the state of Wu, a political enemy that he has to be wary of all the time, and a political enemy who is on an equal footing with him and cannot be taken lightly. They are all from the Chu State, and they should have been brothers in the same trench, but one went to the Yue State and the other went to the Wu State, these two countries have generations of grievances, which is destined for them to fight for the rest of their lives, for their own country. They have no grudges in the next life and this life, some of them cherish each other, some of them respect each other, but they have to fight for life and life, endlessly.

The world seems to be predestined. If there were no Fan Li and Wu Zixu in the Battle of Wuyue, I am afraid that the author would not be interested in writing the history of that period. We often say that it is the people who create history, but there are a few people who have rewritten history, such as Fan Li and Wu Zixu. If they all stay in the Chu State, will they be friends and work together for the strength of the Chu State, so will the Chu State compete for hegemony in the Central Plains?

Nobody knows.

In the Battle of Fujiao, Wu Wangfu sent Goujian, the king of Yue, and the remnants of 5,000 soldiers to Huiji Mountain, cut off its food and water sources, and besieged but did not attack. Not only that, Fucha also organized people to shout and shout at the foot of Huiji Mountain every day, which made the Vietnamese army even more distracted, and some Vietnamese soldiers secretly fled to the bottom of the mountain at night to surrender. Not only did the husband not kill them, but repaid them and paid them the money to go home, so that many Vietnamese soldiers fled every day. Moreover, the Vietnamese soldiers who successfully escaped also secretly sent letters to the Vietnamese soldiers who did not escape, telling them how to escape successfully, so that the number of Vietnamese soldiers decreased day by day.

As the saying goes, "When the tree falls, the tree falls, and the wall falls, and everyone pushes it." "This kind of situation is something that King Goujian of Yue has never experienced. He summoned the old ministers and close ministers of the Yue Kingdom to discuss countermeasures, but the ministers were helpless and did not know how to clean up the mess at all, and even many ministers only persuaded the king of Yue to surrender to save his life. The king of Yue knew that if he surrendered, the ministers might be able to save their lives, but what about himself, could he save them? Although he knew the thoughts of the courtiers, what else could he do, he didn't dare to punish them anymore, he didn't even dare to reproach them, he needed them now, he had never needed them so much as he did now, but he didn't want to see them in panic all day. So, he locked himself in his room and tried not to go out.

Since then, the king of Yue has become more and more irritable, and he borrows wine every day to drown his sorrows, so that the ministers dare not persuade or admonish, and in the end, the ministers simply avoid him, first, they are tired of him, and at the same time, they are afraid that he will condemn himself because of his bad mood.

In the middle of the night, the sober-up King Yue remembered Fan Li, so he ordered the guards to call Fan Li. Fan Li turned over, quickly got dressed, entered the account, and after saluting, King Yue let Fan Li sit beside him, and said slowly: "General, you also know the current situation, how is the plan now?"

Fan Li quietly looked at King Yue, touched his thoughts, and said unhurriedly: "It's impossible to win or escape, I think, now we have to think of a foolproof way to save our lives, so that we have a chance to turn over, but I don't know if the emperor can accept it." ”

King Yue's face was expressionless, but his heart was overturned, "The general said that he was defenseless." ”

Fan Li paused for a moment and said bitterly: "Let's surrender to our husband and ministers." ”

Gou Jian stood up suddenly, "No." ”

Fan Li didn't speak, just looked at King Yue's face, and King Yue's face was terrifyingly blue in the light. The monarchs and ministers didn't speak, just sat opposite each other in silence, and finally Fan Li broke the silence. His voice was low, "Your Majesty, I know what this means to the monarch of a country, but instead of hitting a stone with an egg, it is better to surrender and survive, so that you have a chance to turn over." It's easy to die, it's only temporary, but it takes courage to live, especially in a situation like this. However, if we don't want to be a coward, if we still want to dominate the world, if we are still full of hope for the world, we can only bow our heads temporarily, and we can only stretch if we can bend and bend. I take care of the emperor, one day, the emperor will lead thousands of troops and horses to wash the capital of Wu and kill the husband with his own hands. At that time, the emperor would have felt how insignificant today's shame was. And the husband, he will think bitterly: The real strong people have the last laugh. ”

Gou Jian still sat there motionless, still did not speak, Fan Li did not speak, the monarch and the ministers sat opposite each other, as if thinking about something, as if fighting a strong struggle against something, from midnight to early morning, to the time when the sun rose, Fan Li found that King Yue had aged ten years overnight, his face was like a knife, his face was sharp but also tired, decadence and excitement occupied his face at the same time, making his face pitiful and terrifyingly ugly.

At this time, the king of Yue stood up, and after washing, he ordered his attendants to call some important ministers into his account.

King Yue's eyes are like a sword, since the siege of Huiji Mountain, he is the first time so energetic, although people are very tired, but there is an excited look, and the voice is loud, he said, "Ministers, as the saying goes, a big husband can bend and stretch, after this period of siege, I realize that only by saving my life, can I avenge today's humiliation, so today I gather everyone, is to tell you, I decide: our monarch and ministers surrender to the husband. ”

The ministers looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Some people breathed a sigh of relief, some feared that the ministers would be killed, and some shouted that they would die for their country...... There was an instant uproar in the courtroom.

Without waving his hand, the king of Yue quietly quieted them down with an irritable drink, and he looked at the people majestically, and asked, "Who is willing to do it now?"

The court fell silent instantly, and the ministers looked at each other again, not knowing what to do. At this time, Wen Chong stood up and said loudly, "If the emperor can trust me, I am willing to go." ”

King Yue nodded with satisfaction. "When is Aiqing going to leave?"

Wen Chong said: "Without further ado, the sooner the better!"

The next day, Wen Chong led a few soldiers to prepare to set off, but Fan Li stopped him uneasily, "Is the doctor going to set off like this?"

Wen Chong was surprised: "Does the general think there is anything wrong?"

"I'm afraid someone will rob me on the road. Think about it, this road is full of soldiers stationed in the state of Wu. ”

"Could it be that they know that it is a gift from King Yue to King Wu, but they have such a big guts. Wen Chong was even more surprised.

"They can be said to kill two birds with one stone, that is, they got the property, and prevented the king of Yue from surrendering, why not?"

Wen Chong understood as if he had been empowered, and he nodded, "That's true, there must be people who oppose accepting the surrender of King Yue, because there are many people who want to destroy the Kingdom of Yue in one fell swoop, besides, how difficult it is to persuade Wu Wangfu to accept King Yue's courtiership, what does the general think?"

"The doctor should first bring only some gold, silver and jewelry to meet the king of Wu, and tell the king of Wu that the king of Yue wants to surrender to the king of Wu, and will send a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to the king of Wu, but the country of Yue has no ability to transport it, so he can only ask the king of Wu to send troops. If King Wu accepted the surrender of King Yue, he would definitely send troops. ”

Wen Chong smiled, "Smart." ”

So Wen Chong only brought a few worthless gold, silver and jewelry to see the husband, Fan Li sent more than a dozen soldiers with strong martial arts to accompany him, and as soon as he came down the mountain, there were nearly ten masked people blocking the way out. I saw that the masked man at the head was sitting on a brown horse, wearing armor, and among the masked people, he felt like he stood out from the crowd, and he knew that he was the leader at a glance. Just when the genre was looking at him carefully, he was also scrutinizing the genre, and this kind of scrutiny was actually secretly competing. "If I'm not mistaken, you're a literary doctor. ”

Wen Chong shook his hands, "Exactly, dare to ask the honorable name?"

"You must ask my sword, for only those who have won my sword will be qualified to know my name. As soon as the words fell, he slashed his head and covered his face at Wen Chong, and the guards around him hurriedly answered, and for a while, I saw the sword shadow flying, and the white sword qi danced and scattered in all directions. Wen Chong couldn't help but applaud secretly, and hurriedly withdrew from the encirclement, Wen Chong, who knew a little about martial arts, couldn't swing freely in such a sword light and sword shadow, he only had to dodge. It was a battle that darkened the sun and the moon, and in the end, both sides were seriously injured, and the rest were so tired that they could not move on the ground. Fortunately, the language has an advantage in personnel, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable.

Only the masked man at the head sat on the horse without changing his face, and once again carefully looked at the genre. The guards of the literary genre are all staggered. But the two guards who protect the genre are extremely martial arts, and if they are added to the fight, the outcome will definitely be very different. The two guards were eager to try, but Wen Chong stopped them with his eyes. Wen Chong has no way to fight with them, they take the initiative to attack and they can only face it, if they don't fight, how can they be captured, fight, his purpose is to persuade King Wu to accept King Yue's surrender.

The masked man at the head probably knew that he didn't have much chance of winning if he continued to fight, after all, he was the only one who could sit on the horse. He raised his head slightly, "How about it, do you still dare to meet King Wu? Do you still have the courage to tell King Wu to surrender and become a vassal, if you want to go, you have to ask me about the sword in my hand." ”

Wen Chong straightened up, "If you don't want me to go, you have to ask my heart, as long as I still have a breath, I must see King Wu." ”

"Hard, I like it. The masked man laughed, "Well, we have to fight again, please." ”

Wen Chong looked at him motionlessly, "You know, although you are strong in martial arts, you have almost done your best, they ......" Wen Chong pointed at the two guards beside him, "But the two guards with the strongest martial arts in our Yue Kingdom, you will definitely suffer a loss." ”

"Not necessarily, right?" the masked man at the head sneered arrogantly, "I'd like to try." Before he finished speaking, the sword slashed again, and the two guards hurriedly blocked it with their swords, and in an instant, only a sword light and sword shadow were left in front of Wen Chong's eyes, shining in the setting sun.

After a few minutes, the masked man led by him gradually gained the upper hand, and he had no power to fight back only with the ability to parry. Wen Chong ordered the two guards to stop, and made a fist to the masked man led by him, and said: "Daxia, I don't intend to offend you, I just want to meet King Wu and complete my mission as a doctor of the Yue Kingdom, please fulfill Daxia." ”

Wen Chong's polite behavior made the masked man at the head very useful, his heart softened a little at this moment, plus he and the soldiers had the upper hand at this time, and if he continued to fight, it would only be the same result, and he was undoubtedly making a fearless sacrifice. It just so happened that Dr. Wen gave him a decent step, and he decided to go down the slope to get off the donkey. "Then we soldiers have been injured a lot, you can watch it. ”

"Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. With a wave of his hand, Wen Chong put a box of gold and silver in front of the masked man at the head, "Please do it!"

Several guards carried the box of gold and silver onto the horse, and all the personnel got on the horse, and the masked man led by him made another snort to Wen Chong, saying, "The eldest husband will not change his name or surname, and Wu Zixu will also." After speaking, only the sound of "driving" was heard, and the whip waved in the air, leaving only the dust in the sky......
