The original state of Chu, the capital of Ying!
After the Wu army broke through, Yingdu was in chaos, and Wu Guo led the troops of Cai and Tang to wreak havoc in the city.
Far outside the city.
Qu Wu, Minister of the Jin State, watched the Wu army enter the city, and was silent for a while.
"My lord, what should we do now? Do we still have to enter the city?" A general looked at Qu Wu.
Qu Wu shook his head and said, "Go home!"
"yes!"
Qu Wu left, and there was still chaos in Yingdu.
The homes of the ministers of the Chu Kingdom were almost ransacked, with one exception.
There was a minister's house, but no one dared to loot it.
Chu State, Shen Mansion.
At the entrance of Shen Mansion, Wu Zixu looked at a woman in front of him.
"Mrs. Shen, don't worry. One day when I'm here, no one in Wu Jun will come to Shen's mansion to act presumptuously!" Wu Zixu said solemnly.
The middle-aged woman looked at Wu Zixu with an ugly expression, a little disgusted and a little regretful.
"Mr. Wu, in the past, you belonged to the Wu family, but you were all the pillars of the Chu state, and the loyal ministers of the Chu state. I never thought that you would lead the Wu army to destroy the Chu state? My husband, Shen Baoxu, I don't know if it was right or wrong to let you go!" the middle-aged woman said bitterly.
"Shen Baoxu, my good friend, I know him best. He is a true loyal minister of Chu State. As long as it is beneficial to Chu State, he is willing to give everything. Back then, my Wu family was also loyal for generations, and was framed by Chu Pinghou. , except for me, the whole family was slaughtered. Shen Baoxu was willing to let me go. I am grateful for his great kindness and admire his character. In Chu State, the only person I can care about is brother Shen! "Wu Zixu said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Shen looked at Wu Zixu and said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember what my husband said when he let you go?"
"Of course I remember that when he let me go, I once said that I would overthrow Chu, but he said confidently, "Encourage him, if you can overthrow him, I will surely revive him!" Wu Zixu said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Shen nodded: "If you can destroy Chu, my husband can also restore the country!"
Wu Zixu frowned: "Brother Shen's thinking is too simple. Okay, Mrs. Shen, you can rest yourself. Don't worry, the army of all countries will not disturb you!"
Mrs. Shen frowned deeply. He didn't say much, and went back.
Wu Zixu walked out of the Shen Mansion, looked around at the guards and said, "Listen well, no one is allowed to disturb the people in this mansion, anyone who dares to act presumptuously will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!" All the subordinates responded.
"My lord, the king summoned a group of generals!" A young general came to report.
"En!" Wu Zixu nodded.
Stepping forward, he quickly headed towards the Chu Palace in Yingdu.
Soon to the palace.
The King of Wu is holding a banquet, rewarding the group of generals.
"Mr. Wu, you came at a good time, hahahaha, today's destruction of the Chu Kingdom is a celebration of the heavens, and I would like to offer a toast to you, thank you for your countless help to me over the years!" King Wu said with a toast.
"Your Majesty, I have a merciless request!" Wu Zixu said in a deep voice.
"Oh?" Everyone looked at Wu Zixu.
"Your Majesty, in the past, my subordinates were ministers of the Chu State. The whole family was exterminated by the Marquis of Chu. This enmity is irreconcilable. However, the Marquis of Chu Ping did not wait for my revenge and died early. I beg your permission. Tomb whip corpse!" Wu Zixu said solemnly.
In the hall, there was a sudden silence, digging graves and whipping corpses
Sun Wu raised his brows and said, "No, Mr. Wu, King Chu Ping is dead. If you dig up the grave and flog the corpse, it will be a morally immoral act!"
"No, Mr. Sun, you don't need to persuade me. I won't whip the corpse, so I won't calm down!" Wu Zixu shook his head.
King Wu looked at Wu Zixu, smiled slightly and said, "What is this? You go!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Zixu felt.
"Your Majesty, if you agree to this, you will lose the virtue of the Wu Kingdom!" Sun Wu frowned.
"Sir, you worry too much!" King Wu shook his head and said.
Sun Wu was helpless for a while: "Your Majesty, I won't say much about this matter, but I feel that at this moment, Chu State is newly destroyed, and Your Majesty should recover the major cities of Chu State as soon as possible to prevent any changes!"
But Fu Chai laughed and said: "Mr. Sun, you worry too much. The royal family of Chu is almost completely wiped out. Those small cities are hard to come by. At this moment, we have just won Yingdu and we need to consolidate it. That's right!"
"Yes, the crown prince is right! The soldiers also need to rest for a while!" the generals said excitedly.
"Mr. Sun, it's not that we won't fight, but we don't need to be in such a hurry. Thank you, Mr. Sun, for your kindness!" King Wu laughed.
The banquet is gone.
Sun Wu walked back helplessly.
"Master, why did King Wu suddenly become so lazy? It wasn't like this when he attacked Chu!" Wu Da frowned.
Sun Wu sighed slightly: "Gentle Township, Hero Tomb, once you win, you don't know what to do. There are old noble ladies in the city, King Wu and other generals, ah, what a crime!"—
The capital of Qin State, above the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, the doctor of Chu State, Shen Baoxu, knelt outside the city, weeping bitterly, without drinking or eating, it has been seven days and seven nights! I implore the King to send troops to Chu State and help Chu retreat from Wu!" Bailixi said solemnly.
"Chu's destruction?" On the throne, sat a majestic king with a broad forehead in a black royal robe, Duke Mu of Qin.
Qin Mugong lightly tapped on the throne.
"Your Majesty, in the Wu army, there is Sun Wu, a great military strategist. It is difficult for our Qin army to attack!"
"My lord, the state of Chu has been destroyed, and the Patriarch of the family with the surname has retreated. There is no family with the surname behind it, so we should be able to fight!"
"Your Majesty, I, Qin, cannot make unnecessary sacrifices!"
……………
...
…
The ministers talked a lot.
"Let's retreat first, the royal family will stay!" Qin Mugong said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
All the ministers retreated one after another, leaving a group of people with the surname Ying in the hall. Bailixi was by his side.
"Your Majesty, grandson thinks it's time to go!" a Marquis of Qin said solemnly.
"Oh?" Duke Mu of Qin looked at Marquis Qin.
"Chu, Wu, and Jin are all countries with the Ji surname. The civil strife among them is not an opportunity for us to win the surname country? We can use the name of helping Chu to open the way to strengthen Qin!"
"I also agree with what my elder brother said, this is a great opportunity for my country Qin!"
"The surname Ying shouldn't be limited to the west of the Central Plains! The state of Chu promises a large territory, and our state of Qin borders on it. How can we let it go?"
……………
...
…
All the children of the royal family surnamed Ying said one after another.
Qin Mugong nodded and said: "Okay, then Aihou will be in charge of 'assisting Chu' to go out!"
"Yes!" Among them, Qin Aihou responded—
Not long after.
The news of Qin sending troops spread to Yingdu.
Sun Wu frowned slightly: "Oh, King Wu has already missed the best opportunity!"
"Master, what should we do now? Fight the Qin army?" Wu Da frowned.
Sun Wu sighed slightly: "Forget it, what's the use if King Wu can't listen to me? I'm going to resign!"
"Yes!" Wu Da nodded.
"Where is Wu Zixu nearest?"
"Mr. Wu? I don't know where Chu Pinghou's tomb is. These days, Mr. Wu has been searching for Chu Pinghou's tomb!"
Sun Wu nodded.
And in the palace.
King Wu's expression changed as he watched the news from the front line.
"Bastard, Qin also wants to take advantage of the fire at this time to loot? Huh, I can destroy Chu, and I can also destroy Qin. If you want to fight, you can fight!" King Wu's self-confidence was extremely inflated.
Soon, some troops were dispatched towards the direction Qin Jun came from.
Another five days passed.
However, Jiang Tai slowly arrived at Yingdu.
Jiang Tai could have arrived earlier, but along the way, news from various parties kept coming. Looking at those news, Jiang Tai did not rush on his way.
When they arrived outside Yingdu, they saw a large lake in the distance, a large number of troops gathered, and the mountains and forests in all directions seemed to be washed away by the flood. The lake was driven ashore.
Jiang Tai stepped over.
But he saw that Wu Zixu was really holding a nine-section copper whip and whipping a coffin continuously.
Jiang Tai was slightly taken aback.
But seeing Wu Zixu bursting into anger, whipping the copper whip in his hand again and again, his eyes were torn apart.
A corpse was smashed to pieces.
That's not to mention, throwing away the copper whip, Wu Zixu looked at the rotten corpse, put his hand into it, gouged out the corpse's eyes, and cursed: "You blind man, you don't know loyalty and traitor, you killed my father and brother, Wouldn't it be superfluous to keep it?"
Then, Wu Zixu tore off the ears of the corpse, bit by bit, destroying the corpse with his hands.
From far away, one could smell the stench of corpses.
Jiang Tai's expression froze, and he walked away, realizing for the first time that Wu Zixu had such a strong taste. This scene is disgusting.
Regardless of Wu Zixu outside the city, Jiang Tai walked towards the city.
"Master Jiang!" All the guards said respectfully.
Jiang Tai nodded, found a guard, led him into the city, and soon came to the palace.
In the palace.
King Wu summoned a group of ministers to discuss the war against Qin.
"Mr. Sun, you need to worry more about the Qin war!" King Wu said very sincerely at this moment.
Sun Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say to you!"
"Sir, please speak!" King Wu said immediately.
Sun Wu was about to resign.
"Report!"
Suddenly there was a scorching cry from a distance, and a soldier rushed into the hall.
In the hall, the officials were slightly taken aback.
The soldier quickly ran to King Wu.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from Gusu!" Xiao Bing said.
"Oh?" King Wu was slightly taken aback.
After receiving the bamboo slips, King Wu looked at them, and as he looked at them, his expression changed.
"Father, what's the matter?" Fu Chai asked suspiciously.
King Wu handed the bamboo slips to Fucha.
Fu Chai looked at it, looked at it for a while, and his face changed: "What? Jiang Tai? Shameless villain, shameless villain, my father trusts him so much, he actually stripped the intelligence system out of the country of Wu!"
King Wu's face was gloomy. The crowd will be in an uproar.
"Father, I have already said that Jiang Tai is not a good guy. Wu's intelligence system, he had planned a long time ago and wanted to leave Wu! All the people in his house were injured. , actually completely evacuated?" Fu Chai gritted his teeth.
"Jiang Tai?" King Wu said in a deep voice.
"Father, Jiang Tai is a villain! I don't know where he has gone now. He must have no face to see Father, no wonder he hasn't shown up for so long. He ran away and will not come back!" Fu Chai said bitterly .
"Report, Lord Jiang Tai, please see me!" A guard shouted from outside the hall.
Fucha: "...!"
