Spring and Autumn I Am King

Sima Ziqi promised Wang Sunsheng that he would definitely get a piece of land with his credit, and Yingdu soon fulfilled his promise, making Wang Sunsheng a doctor in Chaoyi, commanding the military and political affairs of Qunshu.

This Juchao, also known as "Wan" or "White", is the area of ​​Anqing and Lujiang in later generations. The land of Anhui is fertile and beautiful, with rivers and lakes on its back, Huaishang and Yihu are controlled by the superior, and the mountains are deep and rivers spread out. It is a place for battle. In the past, when Wu State got here, it could harm Chu State unscrupulously. Now that Chu State has regained this place, it can also look down on Wu State downstream. The Yingdu side has divided Wang Sunsheng into this place, which greatly allows him to continue to attack Wu. country meaning.

However, Wang Sunsheng was obviously more concerned about Zhao, who controlled Huaibei from the north, than the state of Wu, which was attacked by the state of Yue.

"There are only 2,000 people left in the Zhao army to guard the state of Cai. How can they resist the state of Chu? With Xu Huai's emptiness, the opportunity for the state of Chu to sweep the two Huai states has come!"

In late October, after learning that the main force of Zhao's army had returned to the north, Huainan Xiaoyi lived in the nest, and Wang Sunsheng, a doctor of the state of Chu, was full of pride.

As the "rebel minister" of the Zhao family, Wang Sunsheng has no sympathy for the Zhao Hou who once served, and is both awe-inspiring and respectful.

He respected Zhao Hou's open-mindedness and enterprising, but this kind of open-mindedness was an exception to him, and he rejected his enthusiasm many times. He is also afraid of Zhao Hou's unfathomable, that kind of feeling that he can't win the trust of Jun, but all his thoughts seem to be seen through is very bad. Now, when Wang Sunsheng returned to Chu and planned to build his own meritorious deeds, he found that Zhao Wuxi was blocking his way again.

He was still in awe, but a little more eager to try.

Like his adoptive father Wu Zixu, Wang Sunsheng is a person who likes to take one thing as the goal of his life. He used to put the revenge of killing his father in Zheng State first. After leading the army to attack Zheng State several times, this emotion It has slowed down a lot, and the revenge for killing his father seems to be avenged. Later, he thought that Wu Zixu's revenge was his goal. With the embarrassment of Wu State and Qun Shu's strategy, Wang Sunsheng felt worthy of Wu Zixu's upbringing.

Now, he has helped the State of Chu to fight against the State of Zhao, and after making Zhao Hou suffer a big loss, he regrets not reusing himself as his life goal... That's why he blindly asked Yingdu to send troops to Huai to seize these things that should belong to Chu. the territory of the country!

However, a letter from Yingdu ruined Wang Sunsheng's bold plan...

"Although the country is big, warlikeness will inevitably endanger. During the period of the king's funeral, the state affairs must not be rashly changed, and it is not allowed to rashly use the sword with the big country..."

Ling Yin Zixi, who has always loved Wang Sunsheng very much, even denied his request to send troops this time on the grounds of King Zhao's state mourning.

For a time, Wang Sunsheng was angry and regretful.

"Uncle is too conservative in government."

Although he has been in Chu for less than two years, Wang Sunsheng has already criticized his conservative uncle. As early as the fourth year of King Zhao of Chu (512 BC), Zixi emerged in the state of Chu. , Zhu Yong fled to the state of Chu. Yin Zichang gave them a lot of land, arranged for them to live on the border, and built a city for them, making them an enemy of King Helu of Wu. Zixi thought this would only anger Wu. Having experienced the extravagance of King Ling of Chu and King Chu Ping, at this time, the people of Chu were in urgent need of life, and it was not suitable for them to be enemies of Wu.

Although there is nothing wrong with his views, it can also be seen from his behavior of "being cautious in everything and not rashly using swords and weapons". The previous year, King Zhao of Chu discouraged him from expedition to the north. This year, he hesitated when Sima Ziqi proposed to take the opportunity to regain lost territory, and now he refuses Wang Sun The request was actually expected.

Wang Sunsheng could only reluctantly give up his bold plan. He is now a doctor in Chaoyi, and he is in charge of Qunshu affairs. After all, although he is noble as a grandson, his qualifications are too low.

"My words in the courtroom are too inadequate..." After experiencing this, Wang Sunsheng also realized one point. In the face of the dictatorship system of the royal family in the state of Chu, he felt that he could go further, but first, he had to rely on enough Your military exploits increase your fame and strength!

Thinking of this, Wang Sunsheng turned his attention to the Yihu located in the northeast of Qunshu...

Yihu, also known as Hefei in later generations, here is Huaishang's throat, and Jiangdong's lips and teeth. If you get Yihu, you can ask Chen and Cai in the west, and have a great say in the Chu state. If you go to Xu and Si in the north, you can compete with Zhao Wuxi to win the Central Plains. If you continue to go east, you can take all the land north of the Wu state. , smother Jiangnan's words and bend their backs...

...

Wu Wangfu was eight years away, and at the beginning of November, Suzhou Wucheng.

"Your Majesty, the general Xumen is here to report, saying that the Chu army's division in the nest has attacked Yihu, and the general has few troops and can't resist..."

After a few months of ups and downs, Wu Wangfuchai seemed to be ten years older. He raised his head wearily and said, "Yihu? Let him go... General Xumen can defend Beiliang, Zhaoguan and Yongpu. ."

Zhaoguan and Beiliang are the two important places of Wu State in Jiangbei, and they are also the bottom line of Fuchai. As for Yongpu, it is a ferry crossing on the river. There is a mountain called "Xiaogushan" nearby, which stands on the north bank of the river. The solitary peak is steep, facing the mountains on the south bank like a gate. The big river flows here. Because the two mountains are tied together, it is very narrow, the current is fast, and the danger is terrifying. The boat divisions of the Chu State often have to be cautious here and do not dare to advance rashly. As long as the navy of the State of Wu defends this place, the Chu people will not be able to join forces with the State of Yue, nor will they be able to pose a fatal threat to the State of Wu.

Although he scolded Wang Sunqi many times, but now, Fuchai has no time to regain the lost ground in Huainan and Jiangbei. Looking at the tower of Suzhou, which was burned to a white ground in front of him, Fuchai's heart was bleeding.

After the doctor returned to Dajiang, he fought with the navy of Fan Li of the Yue Kingdom in Jiangmen. Because the Wu ship returned from a long journey, the soldiers were extremely tired, so although they had the advantage of the ship, the two sides were indistinguishable. burden.

But Fuchai's goal has been achieved. The people of the Yue people withdrew from the Dajiang River and returned to Yuedi. Fuchai happened to take 20,000 remnants from Wujiangdu to Jiangdong and returned to the mainland of Wu.

They came back too soon. When they arrived in Wucheng, the Yue people just broke through the outer Guo and entered the city, just like what the Wu people did in Kuaiji, looting a lot of property, robbing women, and Goujian also built a firearm with painstaking efforts. The Terrace of Gusu was burnt!

This palace, but Fuchai exhausted manpower and material resources, and it took Bo Xi two years to build it on Guxu Mountain. The fruit of the eight festivals spans five miles, allowing Fuchai to linger on it and have fun.

However, now, there is only a piece of scorched earth and rubble left, and all the beauties in the palace are scattered. Fortunately, Fuchai's favorite Zheng Dan hid in the inner city in time.

Thanks to Wu Zixu for his diligence in building Wucheng. He tasted the earth and water, like heaven and earth, so that the inner city of Wucheng is stronger than the outer Guo, and it is backed by Lingyan Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Yu Bingzu, who stayed here for a month, finally waited until Fuchai came back...

The Wu army was more numerous than the Yue army, but they were only reluctant to repel the Yue soldiers in the city, and they were unable to chase out the three rivers and five lakes. The endless Gusu City gave the husband a mess...

Looking at their homes that were almost destroyed, the more than 10,000 remnants of Wu State felt extremely sad, and Fu Chai was silent for a long time beside the wreckage of the Terrace of Gusu.

"Burned well! Goujian burned well!"

After a long time, Fuchai suddenly drew his sword and chopped a beam that had survived the fire, with such force that he seemed to be severing his past self.

From this day on, Fuchai seems to have recovered his father Wu Wang Helu's "mouth is not greedy, ears are not happy, and eyes are not obscene." Instead, he lived in the ruins of the Terrace of Gusu, which had almost no intact house, and when he came out every morning, he must be arranged to ask him loudly at the door:

"Fuchai, have you forgotten the defeat of Sishang and the shame of Gusu?"

He will definitely answer loudly: "Wei, dare not forget!"

For Fuchai, the defeat of Sishang was his eternal pain, but Zhao State only occupied Huaibei and then withdrew its troops and did not continue to go south. Zhao Wuxi even sent a boat to deliver Ji Zha's coffin, indicating that he did not intend to destroy Wu.

So compared to Zhao, the state of Chu and Yue has become a more vicious enemy of Wu, especially Yue, Goujian's deception and betrayal are something that Fuchai will never forgive!

However, he reluctantly discovered that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Wu Guo is now facing the enemy on both sides, and is facing the difficulty of insufficient soldiers, not to mention the counterattack to regain lost ground, and even the defense is difficult.

So after the battle between heaven and man, Fuchai made a decision.

"Call Bo Xi here!"

After a while, Bo Xi in soapy clothes came to the stage of Gusu, and shivered while prostrate in front of Fuchai. He had already been revoked by Fuchai from Dazai's powers and was left idle, but Wang Sunluo was used more and more.

Fu Chai raised his eyebrows and scolded Bo Xi: "You have wronged the country many times, and the few people should have killed you, but for the sake of your service to the Wu Kingdom for more than 20 years and the credit for the Sheji, spare your life!"

Bo Xi Jishou was like pounding garlic, rejoicing that he had escaped the catastrophe.

Unexpectedly, Fuchai picked him up again and said, "You have seen Zhao Wuxi before, and your son-in-law is Zhao Wuxi's concubine. If you go to the north again for the widow, you will say that the coffin of Yanling Jizi has been received by Wu State. , Many thanks to Zhao Hou Rende, Fu Chai is willing to abandon the war with Zhao State and deal with it peacefully! I also hope that Zhao Hou can return Wu prisoner, and Fu Chai is willing to exchange copper and tin for it!"
