Volume 1 The Hidden Movement of the World Chapter 18 The East Faces the Sea
At this time, the king of Chu was hurrying back from Zhao, and Hui Shi and Qu Yuan first met with Zhaoyang Lingyin and heard about the king of Yue Wujiang raising troops to attack Chu. As soon as the king of Chu arrived in Chu State, he heard that after hearing the report on the affairs of Yue State, he was ready to appoint Zhao Hua as a general to conquer Yue State. A minister named Feng Hao told him that Hui Shi had come to the state of Chu and said to the king of Chu:
"Hui Shi and Zhang Yi have a feud, everyone among the princes knows that if the king befriends Hui Shi, he will offend Zhang Yi, Hui Shi is now excluded by Zhang Yi and abandoned by the Wei State, why should the king offend Zhang Yi for a useless person!"
"Hui Shi came from afar, I can't even see him!" said King Chu Huai.
Now that he is with Qu Yuan, you will use the reason that the war is tight, and while you don't want to see him, you will transfer Qu Yuan to fight, so Hui Shi will not stay long in Chu State, and he will definitely leave on his own!"
"Well, just as you say!"
King Chu Huai immediately issued an edict, ordering Qu Yuan to be the right leader of the army, and to lead the troops with the general Zhaohua to conquer the Yue Kingdom. Qu Yuan received the order, but he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he had to immediately receive the order and set out on the expedition. Hui Shi could not see the king of Chu, so he stayed in Yingdu for a few days, preparing to go to the Song State to find Zhuangzi, and then return to Wei from the Song State.
Hui Shi left on the front foot, and Zhang Yi followed on the back foot to the Yingdu of Chu State. Zhang Yi first went to meet Dr. Jin Shang, and then met with Zheng Sleeve, and told the two that he meant to talk about Chu and Qin. Zheng Sleeve had just returned from Shou County, and when he heard this, he was in the middle of it, and told Zhang Yi that she had a daughter who could marry the King of Qin, Zhang Yi was very happy, so he had a discussion with Zheng Sleeve.
Zheng Sleeve hurriedly returned to his home in Shou County with the sun and moon that day, and returned to Yingdu City with his parents. Sun and Moon Shuangmei then informed Zheng Sleeve of the meaning of Mei Sheng, and asked Zheng Sleeve to install the "Moon Lord" of Rongyue in the Qin State, as if she was in the Chu State today.
Zhang Yi then met with the King of Chu, and the King of Chu Huai thought: Fortunately, he listened to Feng Hao's words and did not meet Hui Shi, otherwise it would be difficult to face Zhang Yi today!
Zhang Yi originally came for Wei to join Chu, but when he saw King Chu Huai, he said:
If the king can make friends with the Qin state, he will be free from worries and deal with the Qi state and the Yue country with all his heart, and he will definitely be able to destroy the Yue country. If the king gets the vast land of the Yue Kingdom, there will be no stronger country in the world than the Chu State!"
"What Zhang Xiang said is not bad! Now the general of Qi State, Kuang Zhang, has gone to Jucheng in an attempt to wait for an opportunity to move! If there is no instigation from Qi State, Yue State will not dare to move lightly! Now I intend to be with Qin, can Zhang Xiang have any suggestions?" Chu Huai said.
"Since ancient times, alliances, or marrying daughters, or protons, kings can use it!"
"Zhang Xiangke will wait for two days in Yingdu, and after I think about it, I will reply to you immediately!" King Chu Huai replied.
"That being the case, I will leave for the time being and wait for the king's good news!"
Zhang Yi resigned from the king of Chu, and soon Zheng Sleeve came, and the king of Chu Huai told her about peace with Qin. When Zheng Sleeve heard this, he was secretly happy, so he said:
"Don't worry, the king, when I went back to my parents' house a few days ago, I happened to have a daughter, smart and beautiful, rare in the world, I have privately recognized myself as a goddaughter, and I haven't had time to report to the king!
"Is this really the case? Concubine Ai is really my virtuous concubine, quickly bring him to me to see!" King Chu said with great joy.
Zheng Sleeve immediately asked people to call Rongyue, and when King Chu Huai saw it, he was really stunning, charming, and secretly excited. When Zheng Sleeve saw it, he immediately looked at Rongyue and said:
"Meet my father!"
"The child melts the moon, meet the father!"
As soon as the word "father" came out of Rongyue, King Chu Huai knew that it would be useless to be moved, so he thought about it and said:
"From today onwards, I will give you the surname Mi, and you will be called Miyue!"
The surname Mi is the national surname of the Chu State, and Rongyue has since obtained the identity of the princess of the Chu State, called Miyue, and is ready to marry the Qin State. Zhang Yi then got a message, so he sent someone to inform the King of Qin about the marriage between the State of Chu and returned to the capital of Wei, Daliang.
King Chu Huai ordered Zhao to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses, with Tang Wu as his deputy general, and immediately set out to exterminate the Yue Kingdom. Zhao Slip is the general that Zhaoyang Ling Yin values the most, and he has a deep understanding of Yue Guo, and he has long had the idea of completely eliminating Yue Guo. Zhao slipped between Chu and Yue, and ordered Tang Yu to bring 20,000 horses to the north to help defend Qi State, so as to prevent Qi State from taking advantage of the danger and attacking the Chu army from behind. Zhao Hua knew that once the war between him and the Yue State was deadlocked, the Qi State would definitely take advantage of the situation and attack the Chu army with the King of Yue.
Zhao Slip came prepared, and had already made careful and detailed plans and preparations for the elimination of the Yue Kingdom, so as soon as the army arrived, the king of Yue was defeated and retreated. In less than half a month, Zhaohua had collected the north and south of the Yangtze River, and drove the king of Yue Wujiang to the area of Huiji Mountain.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, King Wujiang went to the holy mountain and wanted to ask Mei Sheng for help. After seeing Mei Sheng, King Wujiang of Yue immediately knelt down and said:
"Holy aunt save me! Now that the Zhaohua army is overwhelmed, I am already cornered!"
"I knew today, why bother in the first place! I am a woman, I have no power to restrain the chicken, how can I save you?" Mei Sheng said disdainfully.
"The king of Chu has long had the intention of destroying Yue, and now although he is in front of the army, he is really helpless! If the Yue country dies, the holy aunt will have nowhere to live!"
"Hmph, run for your life, I have my own opinions!"
"If the Holy Aunt is ruthless and ignores it, I will die here today!" Wu Jiang said, drawing his sword and pretending to kill himself.
Mei Sheng sat motionless as if he hadn't seen it. King Yue was helpless and put down his sword:
"I know the ability of the Holy Aunt, if it is really so ruthless, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"
Mei Sheng still turned a deaf ear, and when Wu Jiang saw that there was only a very ordinary-looking woman standing next to her, he glanced at his entourage guards and wanted to kidnap Mei Sheng.
The guards didn't seem to see it, and they didn't move. Wujiang shouted at a group of guards;
"Are you blind?
The guards were still motionless, just looked at King Yue with wide eyes, and said anxiously:
"You're deaf! Hurry up and get this woman for me!"
As if they were really deaf, the guards ignored Wujiang's orders, and then slowly walked out of the door one by one.
Seeing this, King Yue Wujiang was extremely shocked in his heart, and he didn't know what to think, so he suddenly slapped himself and ran down the mountain.
The Zhaohua army was pressing step by step, and the king of Yue was helpless, so he abandoned Huiji and fled to the southeast coast. Qu Yuan followed the Zhaohua army all the way to pursue the defeated soldiers of King Yue, and pursued them all the way to the East China Sea. Not far from the East China Sea, the soldiers and horses of the State of Chu surrounded the deserters of the Yue State and killed the King of Yue. Qu Yuan led the men and horses to the seaside, although they won the victory, but they were also sleepy and lacking, so they were stationed on the spot to rest.
Early the next morning, Qu Yuan woke up early, so he got up and walked to the beach. Qu Yuan walked for a while, and suddenly remembered Mr. Guiguzi's words, "After leaving a name for thousands of generations, you will have longevity in the East China Sea Mushroom Mountain", so he climbed a small hill and looked at the East China Sea. Qu Yuan looked at it and found that there was a house on the mountain not far away, which seemed to be a Taoist temple, and after thinking about it, he returned to the barracks.
Qu Yuan arrived at the camp, ordered the army to rest, then changed his clothes and walked to the temple alone. After walking for about half an hour, Qu Yuan saw the Taoist temple from a distance.
Qu Yuan took a closer look and found that it was indeed a Taoist temple, and saw the six words "Overseas Heaven, Yizhong Dao" written on the courtyard door. Qu Yuan didn't know what he meant, so he pushed the door and entered the courtyard. A small way came up and Shi Li smiled and asked:
"What is the reason why Childe is here? But he is in the wrong place?"
"He's not wrong!, come in!" said one of the inside.
Qu Yuan was shocked, secretly surprised, and entered the house with a worried heart.
"Childe doesn't have to be surprised, since you're here, please have something to say!" the Taoist didn't look at him and said.
"What do you call a real person, and how do you know that I mean to be here?"
"Xiaodao Gander, who is the childe?" Gander asked rhetorically, halfway through the answer.
When Qu Yuan heard that it was the former Chu State Bu Yin Gande, he was shocked again, and then said:
"Qu Yuan took the liberty to visit! It turned out to be Gan De Bu Yin, who had heard of the name for a long time, and when he saw it today, he was really fortunate to have three lives!"
"Since you know my name, you must be an official eunuch, but after Danyang Quzheng?"
"Exactly! My father is bending to be right! I also ask the real person to teach me a lot!"
Gander suddenly opened his eyes, Qu Yuan saw it, and found that this person was refreshed, his eyes were bright, and he couldn't tell his age, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, and somehow he suddenly opened his eyes, thinking that he was afraid that he had some old friends with his father.
"Although I know Qu Zheng's name, I haven't met, so I don't have to guess!
Qu Yuan only felt that what he was thinking in his heart seemed to be known to this Taoist, so he didn't think much about it, and then asked:
"May I ask where is the real East China Sea Mushroom Mountain?"
"That mushroom mountain is not just a mountain, but a group of mountains, in the midst of the blue ocean, and I am fascinated by it!" Gander asked, after he finished speaking:
"How do you know the name of the East China Sea Mushroom Mountain?"
"In the past, I visited Mr. Guiguzi, and before leaving, he gave me a sentence: After leaving a name for thousands of generations, I will live in the East China Sea Mushroom Mountain. Because I don't know where this mushroom mountain is, I asked!"
"Mr. Guigu is really a master! Childe, please come here!"
Qu Yuan didn't know what to mean, so he walked into Gander. Gander closed his eyes, stroked Qu Yuan's head lightly with one hand, and then opened his eyes and said:
"I also send you a sentence: endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky!"
When Qu Yuan heard this, he thought for a while, and felt that this remark and what Mr. Guiguzi said were related to the "sea", with far-reaching artistic conception and similar effects, so he said to Gander:
"Thank you for your teaching, I must keep it in mind and think about it from time to time!"
"If it's fate, see you again in the future!"
"That's it!"
Qu Yuan left the Taoist temple, and felt in his heart that this Gande was not an ordinary Taoist, as if he was an immortal, incredible.
