Chapter 191: Chudu Wu Ying On the empty hall of the Yingdu Chu Palace, there was an angry roar of King Jiguang of Wu: "Bo Yu is incapable of using assassins, timing, place, and opportunity are all indispensable.
And he was so hasty, and the widow entrusted him with such a heavy task, he only sent a dead soldier to sneak into the mountains and rashly do it, it was really stupid, the king of Chu must be wary now, can he get another chance?"
His Royal Highness's faces were solemn, and everyone was silent.
Xiangguo Wu Zixu's eyes swept the ministers slightly, and he came out of the class and said: "The king is angry, Bo Yu has always been cautious in his actions, and he will never act lightly unless he is completely sure.
This kind of trade and strange tactics is not like the work of Bo Biao, so let's wait for his messenger to return. ” Ji Guangtie's face turned blue, and he flicked the sleeve of his robe fiercely: "It's not him, who is so eager to kill the King of Chu, except for us, only Qi and Jin, and the two countries of Qi and Jin may not react so quickly."
Moreover, the hegemony of Qi and Jin's plot in the world, if the war in Chu State ends early, how can they have an excuse to send troops and not look forward to another chaos here.
Apart from them, who else in the world wants to kill the King of Chu?"
Wu Zixu shook his head slightly, full of gray hair: "The minister can't think of it, but he just thinks that with Bo Yan's surname, this doesn't look like his doing." ” At this moment, someone entered the temple to report: "King Qiqi, the messenger of General Bo has arrived." ” Wu Zixu said happily: "Quickly announce him to enter the palace" Ji Guang, who was angrily wandering around the hall, snorted coldly and returned to the middle throne to sit down.
A messenger hurriedly walked in and said, "The villain has been ordered by General Bo and has seen the king. ” Ji Guang snorted in a deep voice, and Sen Ran asked: "The widow handed over three thousand elites to him, did he want him to take them to Suiguo to enjoy the scenery, why did Bo Er only send one assassin to the Jiufeng Valley of Suiguo to assassinate, and he sent you to ask the widow for his guilt?"
The messenger hurriedly knelt down and said in a panic, "King Qiqi, that assassin was not sent by General Bo.
General Bo sent people to infiltrate Suiguo to inquire about the movement, only to be surprised to hear that someone had assassinated the king of Chu. ” Ji Guang was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Sure enough, it wasn't his hand."
He couldn't help but look at Wu Zixu, Wu Zixu took a step forward and asked, "Where is Bo Xu now?"
The messenger said: "Back to Xiangguo, General Bo learned the news of the assassination of the king of Chu, and he knew that the king of Chu was already alert, and the original plan was difficult to implement, and although the number of Chu troops rushing to the king of Guoqin was more or less, it was endless.
General Bo is afraid; Discovered by the Chu people, he has avoided the main road, led the army to lurk in the dense forest next to the main road to Yingdu with the country, and sent soldiers to disguise themselves as woodcutters to inquire about the news at any time. ” Wu Zixu praised when he heard this: "Bo Yu is really cautious in doing things, careful and improvised, which is especially rare."
He has sent you to the king, what do you have to say?"
Ji Guang heard Wu Zixu say this, thinking that if the assassin was really not from the Bo Biao faction, he should praise and reward him for dealing with it like this, so his anger subsided, and he asked in a loud voice: "Speak, Bo Gu sent you back, what do you have to say?"
” The messenger said: "Great King, General Bo said, the army of the Qin King of Chu people from all walks of life is constantly rushing to Suiguo, and it is not said that the Chu people will inevitably go out of Suiguo and cut down Yingdu."
He was originally ordered to wait for the king of Chu to come east, attack the army, and behead its leader, but now that the king of Chu has been assassinated, he is panicked, and the guard force around him will inevitably increase greatly.
It was to order the villain to rush back and wait for the king's further orders. ” Wu Zixu asked Bo Biao about the current situation over there, and said: "King, since the king does not want to return to the country immediately, then according to the minister's opinion, Bo Biao, this lone army, does not need to be transferred back in a hurry, although the plan to assassinate the king of Chu has failed, but we quietly send an ambush army, which may be of great use."
According to the minister's plan, the king does not need to rush to summon him back, but he can be hidden nearby, and at the critical moment, he may be able to have a surprise effect. ” Ji Guang obeyed Wu Zixu's words, and when he heard the words, he said: "What Xiangguo said is reasonable.
Go back quickly, and let the boy hide on the spot, and keep in touch with the widow at all times, waiting for orders. ” The messenger hurriedly agreed to retreat, and Ji Guang frowned and said: "Strange, who wants to kill the king of Chu, could it be that which king and grandson of the Chu people saw that the king of Chu was in trouble, and he could take advantage of it. ” Wu Zixu said: "King, the murderer behind this scene, I'm afraid it will be difficult to show his original form for a while.
The Chu people said that they would send troops to fight recently, and Qingji occupied the city early, blocking a retreat for my army, and its intentions are self-evident, we are now delaying when we say, for a while, in order to try to transport the wealth of Chu for my use, and secondly, it is also to create an opportunity for Qi and Jin to send troops, but my Wu division is alone in the depths, trapped in Yingdu, and there is a crisis in the end, we should still think about it, instead of being trapped, it is better to take the initiative to attack, create some trouble for the Chu people, delay the speed of their encirclement, and at the same time, the defense of Yingdu should also be strengthened. ” Ji Guang smiled proudly: "Qingji is there, send more horses, as long as he has the intention of leaving our army behind to sneak attack the country, we will immediately return to China along the predetermined route to block it."
If he is only entangled with me in the state of Chu, when the kingdoms are in turmoil, we will return to the state of Wu, and let his rootless army stay here to clean up the mess.
As for the army of the Chu people, even if it is a million sheep, is it the opponent of the tiger and wolf division of my Wu State, not to mention that the army that the Chu people can mobilize will not exceed 100,000 people, if there are more, there is no need for us to fight, there are vassals rebelling inside, and there are vassals invading outside, and the Chu State will collapse immediately. 100,000 people, plus more than 20,000 horses in Qingji, barely 130,000.
And our headquarters has 40,000 soldiers and horses, plus the vassal army composed of released Chu prisoners and recruited slaves, there are almost 20,000 people. 60,000 against 130,000, if they face the enemy head-on, they still have some advantages, if I wait to attack or they want to besiege me, such a small number of troops will not be able to do it, I am afraid of where he will come from" Wu Zixu frowned, and said with a straight face: "King, the arrogant army will be defeated Although the Chu people were caught off guard by us, the Chu army is by no means useless, and there is no shortage of Chu soldiers who are dedicated to fighting to the death, not to mention that Qingji's comeback this time should not be underestimated, after all, this is the country of Chu, it is the world of the Chu people, how can the king be so careless." ” Wu Zixu said bluntly, Ji Guang laughed instead, and only Wu Zixu dared to make a direct admonition among the ministers, but Ji Guang just appreciated him, Ji Guang smiled and said: "Xiangguo reminds that no one knows what is wrong."
Now that all the generals are here, Xiangguo will tell the generals about the countermeasures we have agreed on, and if there is anything wrong, it is just time for everyone to discuss it. ” "Yes, according to the king's will."
Wu Zixu waved his hand, stood calmly, beckoned to the side of the hall, and immediately two warriors walked up, one of them held a huge circle of painting scrolls, and stood still on the hall, the two held both ends of the painting scroll, and slowly unfolded the painting, Ji Guang looked at it, but it was a huge map.
Wu Zixu said: "This map was searched from the Chu Palace, and the minister annotated it according to the recent movement of troops and horses on both sides, so it became what it is today.
The red dots and red lines drawn on this map are the distribution of our army's forces, while the blue dots and lines are the Chu people's soldiers and horses.
As for this green three-dimensional star, it is Qingji's people all the way. ” The map is very large, the geography of the mountains and rivers looks very clear, only the dots and lines of the three colors on the top make people look a little inexplicable, at this time Wu Zixu explained, and everyone compared with the distribution of the two sides in their impressions, and it was really clear at a glance.
From the map, around Yingdu, two of the most dense red and blue lines were formed, the center of the blue line is in the Jiufeng Valley of Suiguo, and the blue lines on the various lines of Chu are concentrated there, and then converge into a thick blue line, pointing to Yingdu from afar.
"That city" in the southeast of Yingdu, it is a green triangle, that is where Qingji is located, the location of Qingji is very delicate, this place is a land and water point to go south to Wu, Qingji is based here, and the posture is like to encircle with the Chu army, attack the appearance of Chudu, to get out of the war group, and it is also very convenient to choose the road to attack Wu in the east.
As for the red line dot diagram, a big red dot is fixed at the position of Yingdu, and the surrounding key passes and the acropolis of Chudu are also some red dots, holding Yingdu in the middle like the stars and the moon.
The people present were all the cronies and generals of King Ji Guang of Wu, and as soon as they looked at the thick red line that came out of Yingdu, they knew that it was the route that King Wu had finalized to return to Wu.
Wu Zixu said: "All the generals, please see, once the army of King Qin of Chu converges, it will choose the road to the east from Suiguo, and its commander will undoubtedly be Fei Wuji."
His style of play is nothing more than two ways: siege and siege.
In the current situation, the army that the Chu people can mobilize is limited, and the Chu army is newly defeated and its morale is low, Fei Wuji may not dare to risk dividing his troops to surround him, so as not to be defeated by each of us, so if something goes wrong, it will be easy for us to break through and leave.
This is the reason why the king wanted to take the risk of staying in Yingdu, but the soldiers did not dissuade him.
The only thing to worry about is Qingji's mind, he wants to cooperate with the king of Chu to destroy my Wu Shi here, and he also wants to take advantage of the Chu people to entangled with me when the army of Wu directly takes Gusu So, it is necessary to be extra careful about Qingji's movements, but he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is not easy to mobilize, even if he really wants to wave the army to the east, the land route, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the muddy mountains and rivers are continuous, they can only walk on two roads, build bridges and boats on the river, and cross the mountains and mountains every mountain, and the speed will not be too fast.
If you take a boat along the east of the river, although it is a smooth river, but the river is tortuous, in terms of boat speed, it will not arrive at Wu faster than us, not to mention that there are two sons on the side of Wu to block the enemy, as long as we are careful, there will be no big problem.
In Yingdu, there are 15,000 people in the main force of our Wu division, including 3,000 people equipped with Chu people's crossbows, and about 8,000 prisoners and slave soldiers who have been released, who are mainly responsible for strengthening the city, excavating industrial defense, and building city defense equipment.
About 20,000 people were stationed in several key mountain and water passes, 14,000 people were garrisoned on the Acropolis near Yingdu, and 3,000 people were taken away by Bo Yu, although the number was small, but all of them were elite divisions that had been used to fighting, with excellent weapons and complete armor, and everyone was issued with the crossbows of the Chu people. ” With this arrangement, when our army is in the Chu State, it will not be a very accident, and there will be no major mistakes.
However, the king's status is precious, and he is in danger of the safety of the state of Wu, and now that the king is in the state of Chu, although there are tens of thousands of generals and subordinates, he can also interfere with it.
If in case, Qingji or the Chu people have some unpredictable and wonderful plan to break our tight defense, just like we take advantage of the Chu people's unpreparedness and directly attack Yingdu to kill Yingdu, then we have to make a decision immediately and evacuate immediately."
Speaking of this, he paused, and Ji Guang said with a smile: "Don't think about winning, think about defeat first, this is Xiangguo's prudence."

The generals should not look at the menacing Chu people and Qingji, and the enemy who doubled cannot surround the outnumbered.
In the unlikely event that they can highlight the plot and make a surprise attack on the city, and our army has not had time to leave, they will gather the elite out of the eastern city according to the plan of the country, and fire will be lit everywhere in the city to stop the pursuing army.
After leaving the city, we will open the road with chariots, followed by infantry, and in the middle will be the 100,000 people who have now been relocated to the eastern city by the outnumbered people, so that neither the Qingji nor the Chu people will dare to attack us as if there is nothing to do, and the future should be unhindered."
The generals were in the state of Chu, lonely and far away, and they were indeed a little worried about the problem of retreat, and when they heard such a vicious and effective plan, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and relieved.
Wu Zixu's fingers swiped on the map, and he slammed in the direction of Yunmengzenan, and said solemnly: "Of course, this is just a last resort, and the Chu people and Qingji may not be able to force us to be so embarrassed." ” He waved his hand to put away the map, turned around and said, "Now let's talk about what we should do next if we defeat the combined forces of the Chu people and Qingji."
Now, the states of Qi and Jin have sent troops separately and ordered their vassals to participate in the war.
On our side, there are ten countries of Qi, Jin, Cai, Tang, Moss, Di, Teng, Xue, Qi, and Xun to help each other.
On the Chu side, there are Qin, Cao, Lu, Chen, Wei, Song, Zheng, Dun, Hu, Shen, Chen, Xu, and Qingji thirteen people to help, in addition, such as Ju, Liu, Fei, Gan, Shan, Shao, Yun, Yang, Yue and other countries have unclear attitudes and are still waiting and seeing.
Qi and Jin are both big countries, the military is strong, if the two countries can go south smoothly, then the world looks at the scenery, the situation changes, our allies will be the Central Plains, at that time we were in the state of Wu, seized the opportunity, the territory of Wu should expand several times and not stop.
If the situation really develops in this direction, our deployment must be adjusted in time."
Wu Zixu talked eloquently, Ji Guang and the generals asked questions about their respective questions from time to time, everyone discussed for nearly a morning, and the ministers left the palace, Wu Zixu followed Ji Guang into the harem, and talked about the details of the discussion for a long time, shared lunch, and then said goodbye and left.
The old eunuch who was waiting beside King Wu followed him, glaring at him from time to time, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
Although Wu Zixu is full of white hair, just looking at the hair is older than the temple people, but the actual age is only in his early thirties, the ears and eyes are bright, and the performance of the temple people who are old and longzhong are all seen in his eyes, Wu Zixu remained silent until he arrived at the front hall, and then there were Wu Shi guards guarding the place, and the temple people and maids in the palace were not allowed to step forward, so he stopped, turned to look at the wrinkled temple people, and asked: "Yan, what do you have to say to me?"
It turned out that this old temple man and Wu Zixu were originally acquainted, when Wu Zixu was still a Chu person, the Wu family was an important minister of the Chu State, and his father often went in and out of the court, and even took Wu Zixu to be familiar with the temple people who originally served the king of Chu.
"Lord Xiangguo", the temple man Yan stiffened his spine, still trembling and said: "Yan has something to ask your lordship." ” "What words" "My lord was originally a Chu person, and my lord's father and ancestors have served the Chu State for several generations, and I don't know how many Chu people in the Yingdu City who are friendly with the Wu family.
Why did your lord come up with such a poisonous plan, wanting to use the bodies of innocent civilians in the Chu State as shields on the battlefield?"
Wu Zixu's eyes widened, he took a step closer, and said angrily: "Bold, you dare to eavesdrop on a plan with the king."
The old face of the temple man Yan showed a wry smile, and he said slightly: "The wild goose doesn't dare, the wild goose is in the palace, but it is just a thing waiting for people, who treats the wild goose as a person to take a look at the adults and King Wu drinking and laughing, the sound of the roof tiles, the wild goose is waiting under the hall, and has not been drunk by the king of Wu or the adult."
If you are worried that the goose will leak the news, you can kill the goose now. ” Wu Zixu flicked the hilt of his sword and sneered: "What good is it to kill you, can you get out of the palace, if you really use this plan on the day, why is Wu Zixu afraid that the world will know that I will do it" Yan shook his head tremblingly: "In order to avenge the destruction of the door and the destruction of the family, the lord led the troops to kill back to the Chu State, drove the King of Chu, the silver Chu girl, plundered the wealth of the Chu State, killed the soldiers of the Chu State, whipped the remains of the first king, and so on, even if there is great hatred, it should be eliminated to burn the Yingdu, and coerce 100,000 civilians of the Chu State as a military shield, do you know why they are all old and weak women and children are so heart-wrenching, do you have to be ruthless?"
Wu Zixu was silent for a moment, looked up to the sky and laughed three times, his eyes were slightly red, and he glared coldly at the temple people: "When the soldiers were Chu people, they did the destruction of their families, and the Chu people were all lonely and widowed in my He En, and now they are all thanks to the gift of the Chu country, and now they are serving the king of Wu, killing and deciding, how can they allow their personal feelings to go against the grain, and they are at ease."
"You", the angry face of the temple goose turned crimson, Wu Zixu flicked his sleeves and walked away.
Siren Yan caught up with two steps, squinted his presbyopia eyes at the place where he disappeared, paused, and muttered, "I should have known that it was useless."
Today's Wu Xiangguo is no longer the cold-hearted and honest second son in Wu Hao's mansion.
If you still have the heart of the people, how can you kill the fisherman who carried you across the river and the woman who helped you with food, and kill your mouth, and still have a clear conscience and say that everything is suicide and death.
You can hide it from the world, you can't hide it from the Chu people, you can't hide it from my old eyes, you were just a child of the Wu family, a high-ranking noble son, what kind of grace and fame can be applied to the remote, let this fisherman village aunt die for you" He turned, trembling back, and muttered, "Perverse, that's right."
It's really perverse, soldiers, soldiers, people are doing it, the sky is watching, you will not die well" To be continued:
