Chapter 965 - Divide the River and Rule
Wu Rui was just said by Wu Shi to be a "concubine black husband", but instead of being angry, he happily admitted:
"King Chu Wei raised troops to attack Yue, killed King Wuyi, and took his hometown Wu to Zhejiang. And the more this is scattered, the sons of all clans contend, or for the king, or for the king, on the south of the Yangtze Sea, and subject to Chu. The various ministries have served the Chu State for a hundred years like dogs and horses, but by the time I arrive, they can serve as the regent of Great Qin, who is in charge of the power of the world, isn't it much stronger than in the past? ”
"But then again." He suddenly laughed and said, "All of our generals who have participated in the Southern Expedition know that my brother, it is impossible for him to take a concubine......
Wu Shi didn't understand the joke that only the old black husbands understood, and shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that Wu Jun's days won't last long." ”
I don't know if the women's clothing has a bonus, Wu She's small mouth is much sharper than at the Hongmen banquet a few months ago.
"In the past two years, the world has suffered Qin for a long time, although the Northern Expeditionary Army and the Chu Army, although there has never been an actual alliance, they still fight each other to fight Qin, Heifu fights Western Chu, and General Xiang fights Eastern Chu."
"This was originally a good time to revive Great Chu according to the prophecy of the dead Qin Bichu. Qin has been broken, Hu Hai died, General Xiang regardless of the previous enemy, sent villains into Hongmen to visit, want to cut the land with Heifu, divide the land and each is the king, since then the world is stable, to rest the soldiers. ”
"However, when the villain looked at Heifu's face in Hongmen, he realized that his appearance was quite similar to the two of them......"
"Oh? Who does it look like? ”
Wu Rui said with a smile: "I heard that my brother looks like Dayu and has a black face, and my brother said that the people who work in the world are like this." ”
"It's just a lie to buy people's hearts, and this person has always been hypocritical." 武辯 says:
"I have learned to look at the face, look at the appearance of the black man, and Qin Shi Huang is quite similar, all are bees, long eyes, beloved birds, jackals, people with this kind of physiognomy, less grace and tiger wolf heart, easy to live in the covenant, and easy to eat people."
"Sure enough, Heifu has the ambition of sealing the snake of the pig, he was loyal to Qin Shi Huang, but he was capricious, cheated to death and killed his heirs, ** his harem, he can't be trusted like this. Afterwards, he was hypocritical, still claiming to be loyal and wanting to deceive the world. ”
"On the surface, he respects the tiger and wolf Qin, but in fact, he wants to be the second Qin Shi Huang, set up his own regent, monopolize power, raise troops to the east, invade people, and seize people's land.
This is a rebuke to Heifu for provoking the civil war in the first place......
But this point didn't impress Wu Rui at all, he plucked his ears with his little thumb and said:
"How did I hear that it was the Six Nations that burned and looted in the West River, which angered my brother?"
Wu Shi sneered: "Don't hide it from Wu Jun, as early as when he was at Hangu Pass, General Xiang had a counselor's advice, saying that the north and south Qin stood side by side, and the Chu State could benefit, and it should attack Nanyang in the south without attacking the fortifications, and cut off the Wuguan Road." However, General Xiang focused on the overall situation of destroying Qin, and did not adopt it, on the other hand, Heifu, as early as when he entered the Wuguan, he instructed Jiangdong to cross the river to attack Huainan, and his character is as different as this......"
"If character can win the world." Wu Rui shook his head:
"This emperor is a character like Fusu!"
"The soldiers are treacherous, before we move the troops, do we have to notify the Chu State first?"
Wu Shi is a little difficult to do, as long as he forcibly changes the topic:
But this is true not only for potential enemies, but also for his heroes. Since he entered Xianyang, he has been awarded officials and knights, abandoning feudalism and placing counties and counties, which is no different from the Qin period. Although Wu Jun thought that he had a good relationship with Heifu, he worshiped his brothers, and tried his best to use troops for him, and he had a great merit in reaching Jiangdong. However, the meritorious reward is just a pass of the Hou, eating thousands of households, there is no real place, let alone being among the Jiuqing, and he also uses a milky child like Wei Yang to check and monitor, and he ignores the old feelings to this point, which is really chilling. ”
Wu Rui still shook his head: "Since the beginning of the Southern Expedition, there has always been a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, my brother treats me and Zhao Tuo well, and the two of us are obviously not as good as Dongmen Leopard and Han Xin, but they have to be crowned marquis, I am very satisfied, how dare I think about it again?" “
"That's a comparison in the Northern Expeditionary Army, why don't you compare Wu Jun with the feudal lords of Chu State?"
Wu Shi is now energetic, and he counted the great lords of the Chu State one by one.
"Cai Ci, for Fang Jun; Fan Zeng, for Chaojun; Long And, for Tan Jun; Yingbu, for the six monarchs; Zhong Lixi, for the king of Shu; Shenyang, for Henan Jun; Zheng Chang, for Yingchuan-kun, the regent of South Korea......"
"But all the heroes who revived the Great Chu will be rewarded, and they are all real seals, and the highest ones are ten thousand households!"
This is true, the state of Chu has now restored their favorite feudal system, the nominal king of Chu is the supreme lord, and the real power is the "Donghai Gong" Xiang Ji, the entire Donghai County is their Xiang fiefdom, and the rest of the places are also divided, this is the driving force to maintain the regime, although the internal reward of the Xiang book is biased towards the old relatives and friends, there is also some dissatisfaction......
But at least it seems that Chu will have a good interest.
"And Han Wangcheng and Wei Wangcheng, after these six kingdoms, they were all established by the Chu State."
Wu Shechang shook his head on the ground: "Heifu wants to swallow the world alone, and what General Xiang pursues is to share the world, if Wu Jun is in Chu, he is not just a false marquis, but a king!" ”
"Today, the victory or defeat of Black and Chu is determined by the south, and the power is at the foot. If you throw to the right, Heifu wins, and if you throw to the left, Chu Guo wins. Why didn't the general rebel against the black and make peace with Chu, take the land of Baiyue in Jiangdong, march west with the Chu army, Chu take Jiangling, and the general took Yuzhang and Changsha, and since then he has drawn the river and ruled, and divided the world with Heifu and Chu and the king? ”
"As for calling King Wu, King Yue or King Wu Yue, you take it yourself! It can compete with the state of Chu. ”
Wu Shi thought about the lobbying words day and night, it was finished, he trembled a little, since the Xihe retreat, the six countries have lost their advantage, although Xiang Ji has defeated Jiangdong and Hengshan armies, but in the overall strategy, it has been passive, and can only hope to attack Nanjun and Hengshan, so that Heifu and the north can not care about each other.
They are in dire need of new allies.
Due to his identity as a Yue person, Wu Rui, who was somewhat ambiguous and embarrassed in the black man's power, became the best candidate.
But Wu Rui, will she be persuaded so easily?
After a long time, Wu Rui asked Wu Shi a question:
"When Wang Jian was in Jiangdong, why didn't he brazenly claim the king?"
Wu Shi was stunned for a moment, but Wu Rui continued to ask: "I heard that Wang Jian had captured the king of Jing back then, and Pingchu was a county, because he crossed the river and conquered the king of Baiyue in the south, and some Chu guests went to lobby to persuade him to support the army in Chu and stand on his own, and rule the river with Qin, but he was killed by Wang Qian, you know, why did Wang Jian not brazenly claim the king at that time?" ”
Wu Shi lowered his head and said: "It's because of his foolish loyalty, and the reason why the Wang family has today's fate is because of his foolish loyalty." ”
"No, it's because Wang Jian has seen the situation clearly, the general trend of the world has been decided, and any recurrence will be wiped out."
Wu Rui said with a smile: "Drawing the river and ruling as the king of Jiangdong seems tempting, but think about it carefully, a short-lived prince king who can't be a few days, and a family with two marquis and three marquis, which glory can be enjoyed for a long time, which is more expensive?" ”
Wu Shi knew that his lobbying might fail again, so he said eagerly: "The one who has to wait so far is that the Chu State still exists!" ”
"If the state of Chu dies today, it will take the next day, in addition to looking like Qin Shi Huang, Heifu is more like Goujian, the king of Yue, who has a long-necked beak and a beak, such a person can share hardships and hardships, not joy."
"The villain is afraid that when the black man will get his will, he will follow the example of Gou Jian and kill the literature, and the birds will be exhausted, and the good bow will be hidden; The cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking! ”
Wu Rui stood up, motioned to his son and cronies, pressed Wu Shi to the ground, and gagged his mouth.
"It is better to have a bow hidden in the dust than to break the string and injure the master's hand and be thrown into the fire and burned."
"If the old dog barks at the owner, it will also be cooked, but if it is obediently lying on its stomach, it is difficult to say that it can die peacefully, and the puppies can also be rich and ......prosperous for a long time."
"Although I am a Yue person and a young man, I also understand this truth!"
The only surviving prince with a different surname in the Han Dynasty, how could he not have a little wisdom for his own survival?
Wu Rui waved his hand: "Send off, thank General Xiang for me!" ”
"If there is a chance, I will hunt in Huainan with him!"
……
"Father, is this Wu Shi sent across the river?" Wu Ying later returned and asked how to deal with Wu She.
Wu Rui pretended to sleep on the case, closed his eyes and said, "No need, just kill it." ”
Wu Ying was shocked: "Father, wouldn't it be too great to do this?" In case ......"
Wu Rui didn't think so: "If Xiang Ji and Fan Zeng really need me, they won't care about the lives of this district strategist." ”
"On the contrary, if he is discovered, I will be a yellow mud and I can't tell, and the future of your uncle Wu Chen will also be implicated......"
Wu Rui has already thought about the future for his family, and the second son will stay by his side to inherit the people of Ganyue, as well as the close relationship with Zhu Yue, and their family will be the bridge between the Regents and the Yue.
The eldest son, Wu Chen, developed in the central government, and there were people in both the government and the opposition, which was enough to ensure the wealth of the family.
"How do you kill that?"
"Whatever you want, destroy the corpse, outsiders asked, and said that they found a woman overnight who didn't please me, and I was drunk and executed!"
Wu Ying was a little hesitant: "Although this Jiangdong is a place outside the law, but my father kills people at every turn, I'm afraid he will ask Jun Zheng to write it down!" ”
"It's better to write it down, report it, and let the regent know! Knowing that I'm a brother Ji, I covet women and have no ambitions! ”
Wu Rui didn't lie, he himself had the little ambition in his early years......
I've long been emptied by the worms in my belly!
After his son left, Wu Rui patted his abdomen, and there was a muddy and swaying sound in it, he was sick.
People who live in Jiangnan and Jiangdong all year round, especially the Yue people who go to the water every day, even if they are careful, how many of them will not be infected with schistosomiasis?
"I don't know if there are ten years left, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking?"
He spat out: "Dog meat with worms in the meat, I'm afraid the regent won't like to eat it!" ”
……
The mask in front of Wu She's eyes was lifted, and he saw that the sky in the east was already bright and the sun was rising, but he was not on the way to the river, but was pressed and knelt down on a long wooden bridge in a pond.
The pond seems to be calm, but from time to time, black-brown "dead wood" comes out of the soil hole, floats on the water, and even opens its eyes.
This is the big dragon, the ancient Yang Zi crocodile, the Chuyue nobles in Jiangdong often raised in the pool, fed pigs and dogs, and sometimes threw the most heinous criminals down, so that his bones were gone, as a kind of torture.
This is Wu Ying's way of "destroying corpses and destroying traces", he will pick up stones, laugh, and smash this group of semi-hibernating crocodiles, so that they are ready to eat.
But Wu Shi did not urinate incontinence, crying for his father and calling his mother, but after his face turned pale for a long time, he was still making the last lobbying efforts.
"Little gentleman, the reason why your father wants to kill me is because he thinks that the situation in this world is that the black man will win and the six countries will be defeated, just like the Qin Shi Huang Emperor destroyed the six countries, destroying the withering and decaying."
"This is indeed a fact, since leaving the West River, the six countries have taken care of their own homes, and they are destined to be broken by each one."
Xiang Ji is right, it is indeed the last battle that neither side can afford to lose!
Wu Shi gritted his teeth and said, "But the premise of all this is that Heifu is fine!" ”
"If Heifu dies suddenly, his so-called new Qin will fall apart, the counties will be separated, and it will be difficult to care for each other, and at that time, it will be the Chu State that will win. When the time comes, I hope that Wu Jun and his son can make the right choice! ”
Wu Ying scolded: "The regent is in the prime of life, you lobbyist, what nonsense!" ”
"Qingji and King Qin Wu once felt that they were young and strong, but how slim a person's life is, isn't it just that he will die at any time?"
Wu Shi laughed and stepped forward, a little trembling.
"I'm not a good lobbyist, I have failed my father, I have failed the state of Chu, I have lobbied three times, but none of them have succeeded, and I should die today."
The crocodiles in the pond began to wake up one after another, and they had been hungry for a long time, and they were already hungry and longing for fresh flesh......
"But I am also a husband, how can I die in the garments of a woman."
Wu Shi turned around and made one last request:
"Can you go into the water naked?"
Wu Ying was silent, and he and the guards no longer had a teasing attitude, solemnly bowed their heads, and even bowed for a long time to bid farewell to this lobbyist of the Chu State......
There was a plop, as if something heavy had fallen into the water, and the pond was churning, and flesh and blood were flying.
After a long time, it was calm again, and only a few crocodiles with their mouths wide open puffed out, lazily lying on the shore, letting the long beaks of the birds peck away the remaining flesh from their sharp teeth......
……
At the beginning of December, the Chu army advanced and finally arrived at the capital of Hengshan County, Yicheng.
Yingbu, who had the characters depicted on his face, finally breathed a sigh of relief, after a year of hard fighting, the Chu people were very tired, especially the people who followed Xiang Ji into the customs, and the enthusiasm for the war had already been smoothed out by the long journey home.
But this western expedition was also a last resort, one was to retaliate for the destruction of Huainan by the Heifu Jiangdong Army, but the Jiangdong Boat Division had absolute control of the waters, and the Chu army did not dare to cross the river, so it could only be angry with the adjacent Hengshan County. If Jiangdong can be lured to come back and completely defeat the Jiangdong army on land, then the Chu State will have less worries in the future war.
Second, it is Huainan's rice mostly for Weiyang to send people to harvest, to ship back to Jiangdong, this can be bitter Chu army, they trekked all the way back from Hedong, although Xiang Yu desperately held along the way to Han, Wei allies to provide grain and grass, but still half hungry, many troops have reached the level of relying on mulberries, originally wanted to return to Huainan to eat new rice, who knows that the locals are worse than them, have to go down to the water every day to catch fish and shrimp to maintain their lives.
Therefore, Xiang Ji decided to cut his flesh from Hengshan County to heal his wounds and fight to recuperate from war.
If he can break through Hengshan and threaten Heifu's hometown Nanjun, his northern allies can also breathe a sigh of relief under Heifu's offensive, so that the world will once again have the opportunity to join forces and fight against Heifu......
The process of the war was very smooth, no one could doubt Xiang Ji's ability to command small-scale battles, Yingbu as the vanguard, along the way connected several counties, snatched the county warehouse, relieved the Chu army of hunger, and broke Baiju, opened the passage for the rear army, after leaving the Dabie Mountain area, the front was a horse and a flat river, and there was no danger.
But after they entered this rich area of Jiangbei, they saw fewer and fewer people, and the resistance they encountered became weaker and weaker......
"It's a gutsless man."
Yingbu laughed at it so much, he asked people to camp outside the city, waiting for the locals of Yicheng to surrender, in the past, the siege of Huainan and the East China Sea was slightly lower, it was also a similar routine, as long as the Qin officials were killed or fled, the local noble clans would quickly take refuge.
But the news from the scouts was surprising that they had entered a desolate county town. The city has a population of tens of thousands, and almost all of them have disappeared.
An hour later, when Xiang Jiqin led the army to the outskirts of Yicheng, he learned of this, and he was suspicious, and asked where Yingbu was, but he was told that he was searching for food and people in the city and robbing the wealth of this county town.
Xiang Ji frowned, but at this moment, a scout hurriedly reported:
"Shangzhu Country, Yicheng, it's on fire!"
