Chapter 612: Dedicated to the Assassination of the King

In the spring of the twenty-seventh year of Lu Zhaogong (BC515), the Wu army attacked Qiancheng under the command of the second son. Qiancheng is located in the northeast of Huoshan Mountain in Anhui Province and is the eastern gateway to Dabie Mountain. If the Wu army occupied Qiancheng, it would block the way for the Chu army to cross the eastern march of Dabie Mountain.

The royal family without King Chu Ping has regained its former vitality, and the people of Chu have formulated a super bold battle plan to try to annihilate the enemy in the future!

Nangwa first ordered Yin Ran and Wang Yin Sushuai to meet the enemy head-on; He also ordered Zuo Sima Xu (Shen Yinxu had been promoted to Zuo Sima at this time) to lead the elite division of the capital to return to Wu Jun from the secret road; Then he ordered Zuo Yin Bo Wan and Gong Yin Shou to lead the army as a mobile force. Nangwa personally led the naval army to the expedition.

The Wu army surrounded the city and captured the target three days later. Zhu Yong led his troops to take over the city, and the cover Yu built fortifications in the mountain pass, and controlled the commanding heights around the hidden city, so as to meet the Chu reinforcements.

In late March, Yin Ran and Wang Yinlu appeared in front of Wu's army; Nangwa's sailors defeated Wu's sailors at the Yongpu River and thus took control of the Yangtze River defense. The Chu army in front of the hidden city was not in a hurry to attack, but set up camp thirty miles from the Wu army's defense line and began to build fortifications.

This tactic was so unexpected that he could not figure out the enemy's plan, so he had to constantly strengthen the fortifications to cope with all changes. Shen Yinxu took the opportunity to return to the east of Qiancheng, and Bo Yinwan's army also reached the northeast of Qiancheng, and the three armies firmly clamped down on the Wu army like eagle claws. The Wu army launched a tentative attack to the east, only to be hit on three sides and had to retreat to the hidden city. The Wu army could not advance or retreat, and the two sides fell into a stalemate of confrontation. Gongzi Zhuyong had to ask the royal officials for help.

When the news reached Gusu, the whole city blew up. The people of the country gathered in groups to discuss, and many people who were eager to find out the news gathered in front of the doctor and the palace gate. The royal family remained calm and unfazed, and the royal officials and doctors were anxious, but they still proclaimed to the people that the situation was still under control, and that the army would soon return to the capital in triumph; Finally, the people of the country are required to remain calm and consciously maintain order in the capital. The people listened to the officials' announcements, and then they were relieved.

The doctors suggested that Gongzi Guang Shuai should be sent to rescue the trapped people immediately, but Gongzi Guang still claimed to be ill at this time; The royal officials then sent an envoy to inform Gongzi Guang that the king would personally visit him in three days to see his injuries and discuss important matters.

Childe Guang was overjoyed: "This is the perfect opportunity that God has given me to kill my wingmen!" He replied to the messenger: "The ministers will greet the king with great courtesy." ”

On the same day, Zhuan Zhu went to Gongzi Guang's mansion to deliver pork as usual, and Gongzi Guang invited Zhuan Zhu to the side room, told him the secret that he was going to assassinate the prince, and hoped that he would accept the assassination mission.

Zhuan Zhu said: "Gongzi is the secretary of the country, but he treats me, a pawn of a peddler, like a brother, and I deserve to repay him with death." But I have old mothers and young children, and after I die, they have no one to feed them! ”

Gongziguang said: "Don't worry, my body is your body: I will treat the old man like Mrs. Xianjun, and I will also appoint your son as a doctor." ”

Zhuzhu said: "Then what other worries do I have! Everything is what the son wants! ”

Gongzi Guang took out a small and delicate, cold dagger and handed it to Zhuanzhu, and recounted the details of his actions to him. Zhuan Zhu took the sword home and prepared for the future.

At the beginning of summer and April, the time for the royal bureaucrats to hit the road was approaching. The palace guards blocked all the roads from the palace gate to the gate of Gongzi Guang's house, and all pedestrians on the street were driven two blocks away; The road was lined with soldiers; The doors of the buildings along the route are closed; If someone pokes their head out of the room, they are immediately attacked; The king's actions have always been so arrogant and ferocious, as if he had regarded the whole people of the country as his enemies.

The king's suit was covered with leather armor, and under the strict protection of the guards, he went to Guangfu, and Gongzi Guang stood at the door on crutches, sincerely greeting the king who was about to be assassinated by him. Wang Wei stepped out of the car, exchanged a few words with Gongzi Guang, and asked him about his injuries cordially, and then entered the gate. Childe limped to keep up with the king, but the captain of the guard glared and reached out to make a gesture of "stay away from the king", keeping Childe a few steps away.

The royal servant and Gongziguang sat in the main hall, Gongziguang's retainers and attendants were asked to leave the room, and the musicians and dancers were all brought from the palace; The armor of the royal bureaucracy is lined up from the hall to the outside of the palace gate, and there are palace armor figures everywhere in the courtyard. Don't talk about being a guest at your brother's house, even if you meet with King Chu Zhao, you won't be so cautious.

The underground of Childe Hikatsu's house has almost been hollowed out, and there are secret doors leading to the underground in several main rooms. He hid his clan armor underground, preparing to attack the palace armor as soon as the royal servant died.

The banquet began, the musicians began to play, and the guests and hosts raised their glasses and drank freely. Childe's legs still can't be bent, so he can only sit on several layers of cushions and straighten his injured legs. But after a few cups, he accidentally knelt on the ground with a "bang"; His expression was painfully distorted, his face was pale, and his forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.

Gongzi Guang reluctantly stood up with his support and said, "The minister's wound is torn again, the minister will deal with it first, and he will come back in a moment!" Wang Wei was very disappointed, which meant that Gongzi Guang would not be able to go to the battlefield in a short time. He was depressed when he came in.

It turned out that he was a good cook, so he acted as a chef to cook delicious roasted fish for this banquet. He hid the dagger in the belly of the fish beforehand, and when the dish was ready, he took the utensils and prepared to present the delicious food to the royal officials.

Zhuan Zhu walked out of the kitchen, and immediately two palace armor came behind him, holding their short swords against the back of his heart. He walked to the door of the banquet hall, and the palace armor ordered him to take off all the clothes on his body and change the clothes he brought out of the palace; After entering the door, he should bow his head, kneel down and walk in front of the king, and there are still two people behind him who hold sharp weapons against the back of his heart.

Zhuan Zhu knelt all the way in front of the king, put the food utensils on the table, and the king's staff smelled the aroma of the roasted fish, and couldn't help but relish, and his appetite was greatly boosted. He got up and leaned his head over, ready to enjoy the delicacy before he died. Just between the lightning and flint, Zhuan Zhu inserted his hand into the body of the fish, grabbed the hot hilt, bounced his body, and stabbed the sword into the heart of the king with all his might, and the king fell to the ground with a scream; Zhuan Zhu was also stabbed to death by the palace armor behind him in an instant.

There was a great chaos in the room, and the captain of the guard rushed out of the door and shouted, "Where is the light?" Arrest him immediately! If you dare to resist, you will kill him! The palace armor in the courtyard began to search for Gongziguang everywhere, and the palace armor outside the door kept pouring into the door.

Gongzi Guang retreated into the bedroom, opened the secret door and entered the underground along the passage, and suddenly heard a loud noise overhead, so Gongzi Guang, Wu Yuan, his brother Fugai, his son Fucha and others led the clan A to enter the room through the secret doors. Suddenly, hundreds of clan armor rushed out of the originally empty building and engaged in a fierce battle with the palace armor.

Gongziguang was not lame at this time, and rushed to the front of the clan armor with his sword, just like in the past when he fought against the enemy army on the battlefield. His clan armor is a veteran of the battlefield, and he can definitely block three against the palace armor that is pampered on weekdays. Childe Hikatsu's goal is the captain of the guard, and the goal of the captain of the guard is also Childe Hikaru. The two suddenly met head-on, and the enemies were very red when they saw each other, so they fought together. Gongziguang finally cut off the neck of the captain of the guard, and the morale of the clan armor was greatly boosted, and he pushed the palace armor out of the house with a single charge.

The palace armor lost their commander and had no choice but to flee or surrender to Gongzi Hikatsu. Gongziguang and Wu Zixu occupied the undefended palace, while Fugai and Fucha attacked the prince's close ministers everywhere. Gongziguang found that Prince Qingji and his brothers had all fled, so he ordered no more killings; He summoned the doctors into the palace and then entered the temple for the coronation; Gongzi is just for King Wu.
