Xiongguan Mandao is really ironless

Wu Zixu handed over a box of gold, silver and jewelry to his guard Zhang Yu for safekeeping. Zhang Ziling couldn't help but be surprised, "The general has never been greedy for money, how could he think of blocking the road and robbing today." ”
Wu Zixu laughed and swept his long beard, "How can they not eat the fat meat in their hands, they want to bribe King Wu with gold, silver and jewelry, and want to surrender and claim their vassals in exchange for their lives in order to avenge their revenge, they are delusional." I won't agree to it anyway, I'm going to stop it. ”
Zhang Yu nodded, "What the general said is that King Wu should not agree." ”
Wu Zixu was disdainful, "Of course, how could King Wu be so stupid, it is estimated that he is just afraid that these belongings will be lost and damaged in the war, so he coaxes them to send them over." I'm just taking care of the sheep, you keep these gold, silver and jewels first, heal a few injured brothers, and then pay each of them a little hardship fee, and keep the rest for him. ”
"The general doesn't take a penny?" Zhang Yu asked movingly.
Wu Zixu kicked him, "When did you see me interested in jewelry?" ”
Zhang Yu said sincerely, "Yes, the general is a god, how can ordinary people compare with the general." While he collected the gold, silver and jewelry, he thought that the general was not only not interested in gold and silver, but also in beauty, and that the general was determined to be the world. As for him, he only thinks about his own vital interests, but he is still very loyal to the general, he links everything with the general, thinking about both loss and glory, this is the meaning of his life.
Wu Zixu smiled mockingly, "The sycophants are getting better and better day by day, why didn't you hide well when the Yue Guo guards slashed over?"
Zhang Yu looked at the scratches on his arm, grinned embarrassedly, and stuck out his tongue, "It's okay to hide, or you'll die, his knife feels too long." ”
Wu Zixu funnily kicked his hind legs squatting on the ground, and Zhang Yu hurriedly leaned forward in the direction of his force, and finally wrestled. "Settle the wounded soldiers, and be careful not to let others know about our actions this time. Because you have to be prepared, we will have many such operations in the future, and I will keep these gold, silver and jewels to expand the army, but this is a secret, and you can't say anything about it. After Wu Zixu finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.
Zhang Yu replied loudly and happily, "Okay, but the money is still not enough." Then he rolled his eyes slyly, as if he remembered something, and asked stupidly, "If the Yue soldiers come to give gifts again, will we still rob them?"
Wu Zixu replied solemnly, "You kid is a money addict, you dare to rob it, soon they will be wiped out by us, their souls will come to give gifts, do you dare to rob them?" But if they really come next time, it will be officially given to King Wu as a surrender gift, and we dare not rob it." Wu Zixu sighed, "I hope this day won't come." ”
Zhang Yu asked puzzledly: "Why don't the general stop him so that he can't see King Wu?"
"I stopped Wen Chong, and I couldn't stop Fan Li, if King Wu wanted to see them, besides, I couldn't stop it clearly, and the companion was like a tiger. ”
"Then why did the general tell Wen Chong his name?"
Wu Zixu patted him on the shoulder, "You have a lot of questions." What could he do if he told him, and would he dare to tell King Wu that I had robbed him? If King Wu had known, he would have wanted to know why I had done this, and he would have called me to ask, and I would have told King Wu their motives. Wu Zixu said, and couldn't help frowning.
This time, Wu Zixu mistook King Wu and misunderstood the genre, and what he didn't want to happen was developing in the direction he didn't want to see.
Wen Chong took the remaining gold, silver and jewelry and a few uninjured guards to see the husband, the husband, knowing that Wen Chong was coming, specially went to the court, wanting Wen Chong to see the majesty of King Wu. Seeing this formation, Wen Chong understood everything, and quickly bowed down to King Wu and explained to him his intention. Wen Chong said that Fucha was the greatest monarch in the world, and said that if he accepted Gou Jian's surrender, it would be the same result as if he accepted the surrender of the Yue soldiers, which was a hint and an omen, and other monarchs would follow suit because of the defeat, and it would not be far from the king to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains. When the husband heard the words of the text, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and almost without much thought, he agreed to accept Gou Jian's surrender and be a vassal. When the husband said this, he touched his long beard and deliberately asked Wen Chong in a casual tone, "Is Gou Jian really willing to be my courtier, is this what he said personally?"
Wen Chong said loudly: "Of course, the king is heroic, what is wrong with being the king's courtier." ”
Fucha laughed, "But I don't lack courtiers, you see my civil and military officials, isn't it very powerful." Now, I only lack slaves, I don't know if Gou Jian is willing?"
Wen Chong said without hesitation: "Gou Jian is willing to do everything for the king." ”
The husband pointed to the literature and said to his ministers, "You see, if a man is defeated in battle, his ministers call him by his name, but it is miserable to think that he will be defeated. His courtiers said in unison, "The king is mighty!" The husband couldn't help but rejoice, "Go back and say to Gou Jian, bring all the valuable things in his palace, the most beautiful princess, and a group of civil and military ministers, and come to Wu as slaves." ”
Wu Zixu was so anxious that he was sweating like rain, but he could only do it in a hurry, he couldn't interject, and when he heard the conversation between King Wu and Wen Chong, he brushed his sleeves and left on the spot. King Wu looked at Wu Zixu's back, looking unbearable, like this, the courtiers all saw it.
Wen Chong reluctantly agreed, and after withdrawing from Fucha's palace with the ministers, he avoided everyone's eyes and ears, and took some fine soft silver to the house of Dazai Bo Yao of Wu State.
Bo Yao knew that Wen Chong would come to him, so he waited in the study, and when he arrived at the house and told him that Wen Chong asked to see him, he was not surprised, but he expected it. He watched intently as Wen Chong walked towards him steadily, he knew that Wen Chong's composure was actually an emphasis on his own heavy responsibility, and he himself just wanted to achieve an ulterior purpose through Wen Chong.
After putting down the gifts, the guards consciously stepped aside and went to another room with Bo Yao's family to rest and drink tea. As for the literature, he said straight to the point the purpose of his trip. "Dazai should know, although King Wu promised King Yue to be a slave, but there are some people who don't agree, so it's hard to say whether this matter will be successful or not. ”
Bo Yao took a sip of tea, and was not in a hurry to express his position, he deliberately looked at the left and right to say something else, "If the doctor is not in a hurry to go back, the scenery of Wu Kingdom is still very good, and I can take you to watch it tomorrow." ”
Wen Chong was stunned for a moment, he already knew that Bo Yao was treacherous, but he didn't expect him to be so sophisticated, "It's not in a hurry, I'm just afraid that King Wu won't allow me to stay here for too long, and King Yue is also waiting for news." ”
Bo Yao smiled contemptuously, "King Yue is the king of Yue in the past, and when he came to Wu Kingdom, he is inferior to ordinary people, and it is not difficult to imagine the hard life, but it is always better than killing the head." At least there is hope for being alive. ”
Wen Chong hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, "Yes, so I have to ask Dazai to say a few kind words in front of King Wu, in Wu country, there is no second person except Dazai." So I can only ask Dazai-sama. ”
"Dr. Wen hasn't told me exactly what I'm going to do. Bo Yao smiled faintly, the flesh on his face was piled together, and even his nose felt that it was superfluous on his face, and he quickly tilted to the side, making room for it, in order to show its surrender to the flesh on its face.
Wen Chong knew that this greedy person had finally revealed his true nature, what could he do for King Yue with such a gift. Wen Chong involuntarily made a gesture, "Dazai also knows that I came to Wu to meet the monarch this time, and almost all the gold and silver treasures were given to King Wu, this is a little bit that I secretly hidden, where can I explain what specific things Dazai will do for us with this little gift, I can only be cheeky and bother to ask Dazai-sama." Don't worry, I won't treat Dazai-sama badly, because I know that in the future, King Yue and other courtiers will have to rely on Dazai-sama to take care of them, otherwise the days to come will be sad. Wen Chong said, his voice choked.
Bo Yao seemed to smile sympathetically, "I can't take care of it alone, when the time comes, King Wu and his entourage who will be slaves must be quite a few people, or reward the people below to take care of it more specifically, when the time comes, those people are also insatiable, I have no choice, sometimes, they promise to be good in person, in fact, what I said is the wind in the ears, the wind passes, and the pinna does not move." He pretended to be very innocent, spread his hands, and showed helplessness.
"Of course I know this, so I'll ask Dazai-sama to take care of it first, please believe me, I won't disappoint Dazai-sama. ”
Bo Yao sighed at this time, "People are under the eaves, how dare you not bow your head." ”
Wen Chong almost burst into tears, but he tried his best to control his emotions, "With Dazai-sama's help, I think our King Yue and his courtiers will get through it." ”
Bo Yao suddenly remembered something, "This person, there are always ups and downs, if one day I am unfortunately in trouble, I hope that the literary doctor will not forget today's feelings." ”
Wen Chong hurriedly waved his hand, "Today's feelings will never be forgotten, but how could Dazai be unfortunate to be in trouble, there is nothing to do, Dazai-sama is now going to be windy and rainy." ”
Bo Yao smiled hypocritically, although he knew the purpose of Wen Chong complimenting him, but he still felt that Wen Chong's words were not unreasonable, Wu Zixu was too strong, and King Wu had already been much colder to him. The way to get along is actually the way to be a minister, a king doesn't like to get along with you, how else can you achieve your ambitions. "Since Dr. Wen trusts me so much, I'll try it, and besides, you have brought so many gifts that I like, as the saying goes, is it useless. ”
Wen Chong immediately stood up and bowed, "Then I'll thank Dazai first, and if it happens, I should thank you again in the future." ”
Bo Ya showed greed on his face, and said something in Wen Chong's ear.
