The news quickly spread to the battlefield of the hidden city. Fei Wuji could no longer endure the long-term hard and boring military life, and he was anxious to return to Yingdu to continue to live a depraved life, so he said to Nangwa: "Candle Yong and Baoyu are both descendants of Wu Ziyi. Just assassinated Wu Ziyi, but he categorically would not send a division to help the two, and the two did not dare to return to Wu again. Since the defeat of the Wu division is a foregone conclusion, it is meaningless for our army to stay here for a long time. The king is young, the country is empty, and the king is tired, and the damage to the people and financial resources is very serious, so please order Yin to return to Chu first! ”

Nangwa felt that what he said was reasonable, so he handed over the command to Zuo Yin Bo Yin Wan (because Da Sima and Right Yin were not on the front line, Zuo Yin had the highest rank); He turned the ship around and led the fleet back to the Nagisa Palace base.

The officers and men of Wu had fallen into infinite despair at this time, and there had been many incidents of soldiers fleeing in the peripheral troops, and the Chu army was narrowing the encirclement; If nothing else, a mass mutiny will follow. Covering Yu and Candle Yong were all hopeful, but the two would never surrender to the people of Chu, and the people of Chu would not accept the surrender of the two (because their hands were stained with the blood of too many children of the nobles of the Chu State). Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, the two decided to ask Bo Haowan not to kill them all.

Covering up Yu in danger, he quietly found Bo Yinwan, and prostrate on the ground and pleaded: "The master was born in a famous family, has been illustrious for generations, and is famous all over the world for his knowledge of courtesy and benevolence. Now there is a great funeral in the state of Wu, and the widow is unfortunately assassinated; According to the provisions of the "Zhou Li", the big countries should not continue to increase their troops in our country. Although Wu was rude first, the king has already suffered punishment for his rudeness, so don't let the disaster bebefall the king of the great country again! The State of Chu has never crusaded against a country where a great funeral occurred, so don't set a precedent from the master! Moreover, we can no longer return to Wu, and we will flee to Xu and Yi to contain Wu, which is also beneficial to Chu; I can wait for my life to be alive, and my master will be able to gain a good name. Master's decision can accomplish three good things, so why not do it? ”

Bo Yinwan's pedantry and soft-heartedness eventually led him to allow the Wu army to retreat to the northeast, a decision that ultimately killed him (just this year). Shen Yinxu rushed to Bo Yinwan when he heard the news, and he reproached: "'One day of the enemy, several generations of trouble', we eliminated this Wu army, which is equivalent to destroying half of the army of Wu. What kind of bewitchment did the master receive from the people of Wu to make such a decision to indulge in the enemy and bring disaster to the country? Moreover, the royal family is declining, and traitors are in power, and the master's actions can easily bring disaster to the family. So I ask to immediately pursue the Wu army in order to save the situation. ”

But Bo Haowan said: "My approach is kind to etiquette, and etiquette can protect my safety." ”

Shen Yinxu withdrew and shook his head and said to himself: "I heard that the master's grandfather (Bozong) and father (Bozhou Li) are both gentlemen who abide by etiquette, but which one got a good death!" ”

Candle Yong and the remnants of the concealment rate traveled lightly and simply, and ran out for fifty miles in one go. At night, the two saw that the Chu army was not chasing, so they ordered to camp. In the early morning of the next day, the two handed over the military power to Hu Jian, ordered him to bring the army back to Wu, and then continued to flee north. Cover Yu fled to Xu State, and Candle Yong said: "It's not safe for the two of us to be together, so it's better to be separated." He fled to Zhongwu (present-day northeast of Suqian, Jiangsu).

After Chu Shi returned to China, Nangwa was dissatisfied with Bo Yinwan's decision, and he reprimanded Bo Yinwan a few words, but did not make any further expression to pursue him. But Fei Wuji, the biggest villain in the Chu State, smelled a huge opportunity, and he wanted to use this to get rid of Bo Yinwan and push his sworn friend and son-in-law Yan Jiangshi to Zuo Yin's high position.

Although Fei Wuji has done a lot of evil, he is as timid as a bean. He is always the instigator who hides behind the scenes and encourages others to charge into battle; And General Yan is a vicious thug who kills people without blinking. Fei Wuji took a fancy to General Yan's point, and in order to win him over, he did not hesitate to marry his favorite daughter to him; From the day he became Fei Wuji's son-in-law, he followed his father-in-law with all his heart and was willing to do anything bad for him.

Bo Yiwan is particularly unsociable, and he never slaps with the powerful. When Nangwa took the initiative to talk to him one time, he was so flustered that he was at a loss, like a student who made a mistake in the face of a teacher who solved the case, without even saying a word, he left in a hurry with a red face.

Someone said to him afterwards: "We didn't have a chance to talk to Ling Yin, but the master gave up a great opportunity." We feel sorry for the Master! ”

But Bo Yiwan said: "I never wanted any chance, because I didn't know what I wanted to do. ”

Bo Yinwan was a complete outlier in that ill-hearted, corrupt and depraved court; The reason why he was able to rise to Zuo Yin's high position was not only by virtue of his talent and conduct, but also by the vigorous support of Yin Yanglu.

Fei Wuji decided to take advantage of Bo Haowan's character flaws and information asymmetry to get rid of him. Fei Wuji first went to see Nangwa and said to him, "Doctor Bo regrets his decision, and he wants to give a banquet to the adults to express his apologies, but he is too embarrassed to tell the adults himself, so he asks me to convey it on his behalf." ”

Nangwa did not doubt the veracity of these words in the slightest, because this was indeed Bo Haowan's usual style. He said, "Please tell Dr. Bo that I will be there on time." ”

Fei Wuji went to see Bo Yiwan and said to him, "Lord Ling Yin is very sorry for blaming the master that day, so he wants to ease the relationship with the master. My lord ordered me to tell the Master that he would be a guest at the Master's house and have a long drink with him. Please prepare! ”

The kind and unsophisticated good man couldn't guess Fei Wuji's sinister intentions at all, but he thanked the other party for his "kind help", and couldn't help but show a loyal smile on his face. He asked, "What kind of gift should I give to Yin because of my low status, and it is a great favor for Yin to deign to come to my house?" ”

Fei Wuji said: "Ling Yin is very fond of collecting armor, if the master has any good weapons and armor to take out, I will help the master choose them." ”

Bo Yinwan ordered someone to fetch a few pieces of armor, and Fei Wuji picked out five sets of armor and a few weapons from them, and said, "These are fine." The master displayed the armor outside the door, and Lord Ling Yin would inevitably stop and watch after he arrived, and then the master would give Ling Yin a fancy to him. ”

Bo Haowan still didn't have any doubts—he did everything Fei Wuji asked.

When the day of the banquet came, Bo Yinwan hung his life-threatening armor outside the door early in the morning. After Bo Yanwan's son Bo Yao learned of the situation, he said to his father: "In the Chu State, anything that is tied up with Fei Wuji will not end well. He originally made a living by harming people, how could he fulfill his father's good deeds? There must be a conspiracy in it! And if my father was a guest at a banquet but placed the armor that symbolized violence outside the door, how would my father feel if he were a guest? So let's take the armor back! So as not to be exploited by Fei Wuji! ”

But Bo Haowan's simple heart just doesn't think badly.
