Similar to "Looking at someone who is not like a king" is the most vicious insult for a head of state.
It’s just that the person from Chu said that? Basically: Oh, did the person from Chu say that? That’s okay.
It’s not slander!
If Chu people want to start scolding, they should first read "梼杌" and find out what the kings of Chu have done in the past. Otherwise, not only will the previous kings of Chu be scolded, but it will also be untenable.
It is by no means flawless, so why pretend to be holy?
When a person is angry and curses, he cannot first examine himself.
Even if he is not angry, who would first figure out what kind of person he is before he curses?
The fighting did not stop because Chu Junzhang was hit by an arrow, but the intensity of the fighting decreased as the Chu army retreated.
The coalition forces that wanted to break out of the encirclement had no leader and Chu Junzhang could not escape. The Chu army began to retreat. Not only did the other princes not have the courage to break out of the encirclement, their strength also did not allow it.
Ye Gong and Dou Huai know that things are not going well and will firmly help the trapped friendly forces to rescue the siege. However, the offensive has reached the end of its strength, and what needs to be considered is to establish a foothold first.
There are also reinforcements from the Chu State arriving behind them. They numbered nearly 70,000 before leaving the Chu State. When they arrive, they don’t know how many will be left.
The rest of the countries? Zheng and Yue will definitely have reinforcements to rescue their monarchs, but they shouldn’t be too many in number?
Logically speaking, Zheng Guo was relatively close to the battlefield, but Zheng Guo's reinforcements should have arrived long ago but were delayed in showing up.
You can understand what Zheng Guo was worried about. Their own national strength was just like that, and the number of troops they could assemble was limited. If the number was small, they would just send food. If the number was large, they would be afraid that the internal emptiness would lead to an invasion by the original army.
Therefore, the State of Zheng should be waiting for the reinforcements from the State of Chu to arrive so that the two sides can meet together and work together to find a way to rescue their trapped monarchs.
The Yue Kingdom is a bit far away from the battlefield. No matter how fast they speed up, they need to mobilize troops and prepare corresponding baggage, and they will definitely arrive slower than the reinforcements from Chu and Zheng.
Besides, Gou Jian had previously devoted most of the Yue troops to the battle against Wu. It was really not possible for some of the Yue troops to escape if they wanted to.
"I only mobilized 6,000 reinforcements. We can't break the siege and it's useless." Gou Jian didn't look hesitant at all. He seemed very calm at first glance.
There is no need to mention some topics in particular, as long as the rulers and ministers of the Yue Kingdom know what they are talking about.
The state of Chu seems to be very powerful one day, and the state of Yue is useful to the state of Yuan. Unless it is an accident, the Yuan army will not touch Gou Jian's hair.
Gou Jian, who was sure of this, was not very nervous about being trapped. The order he sent back to his country was that Chu State was being restrained on the battlefield of Song State, so he must step up his attack on the cities of Wu State. Anyway, it was in Chu State.
Occupy more territory of Wu before you have enough energy.
Gou Jian secretly speculated, thinking: "Zhiyao must be happy to see that kind of scene."
The scene where the Jin State co-opted and helped the Wu State must reappear. The Yuan State also needs the Yue State located in the southeast to contain the Chu State. The Yuan State and the Yue State know this clearly, and presumably the kings and ministers of the Chu State can also expect it.
Therefore, Gou Jian is currently more wary of the Chu army than the original army, and deliberately uses the Zheng army to open contact with the Chu army. Gou Jian is not very concerned about whether the breakthrough can be successful, and he is just pretending.
Gou Jian said to Wen Zhong: "I hope that the war here will never end. It turns out that the two countries of Chu suffered heavy casualties."
Wen Zhong apologized and praised: "The king is wise."
It has nothing to do with anything else, just from the standpoint of the Yue Kingdom, Gou Jian's approach was indeed very wise.
Gou Jian was also wise enough to order Feng Tong to disrupt the internal affairs of Chu and Yuan. He did not care about the means, and he did not need to be afraid of being found out by Chu or Yuan about what he was doing.
It's not just that Gou Jian's reputation is too bad. Firstly, people from the past of the Yue Kingdom would pretend to be Chu people or native people. Secondly, it doesn't matter whether they are discovered or not.
"There are many misunderstandings among people in the world. If there is a chance for Chu State, Yuan State will do the same thing." Gou Jian said.
I kind of don't know what to say.
It is obvious that we have entered a time of great strife, and it is indeed an era where everyone relies on their own methods.
Wen Zhong thought to himself: "The Yuan Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom will do the same thing, but they want to lose face, but you don't even want to lose face."
The news came that Chu Junzhang had been hit by an arrow. After hearing this, Gou Jian was extremely anxious to know whether Chu Junzhang was dead, and if not, how seriously injured he was.
Gou Jian was pacing back and forth, then suddenly stopped and said, "I want to see the original marquis."
Wen Zhong knew what Gou Jian wanted to do, but he still advised him: "The original prince will not harm the king. If the king returns, he will become the enemy of Chu."
This was not Gou Jian asking Wen Zhong for his opinion, it was just a pure statement. He ordered people to prepare, and then said to Wen Zhong: "You stay here, someone asks to see you, and I am seriously ill and cannot see the guest. If you really shirk it,
However, if you make the false body lie down to meet each other, in order to prevent detection, the meeting should not be too long."
In Chu and Wu, it was normal for dignitaries to use substitutes. This was because assassinations were very popular in the south, especially after King Liao of Wu was assassinated, which really gave them a big wake-up call and sounded a loud alarm.
.
Zhiyao was really shocked when she heard that Gou Jian was coming.
"The king of Yue is here, are you looking for someone to send troops to escort him back to his country?" What Zhiyao saw was Gou Jian in disguise. He felt that Gou Jian was so courageous and admired his unabashed shamelessness.
Yes, after meeting Zhiyao, Gou Jian greeted each other and immediately asked Zhiyao to send someone to escort him back to "Kuiji".
That "Kuiji" is currently the capital of the Yue Kingdom, but it is by no means the last capital of the Yue Kingdom. Gou Jian has already planned to move the capital to "Langya".
Of course, whether Gou Jian can allow the Yue State to move its capital again depends on whether the Yue army's conquest of Ju State goes smoothly.
Therefore, the State of Yue is not only attacking the leaderless State of Wu, but also sending troops to attack the State of Ju, while also personally joining in the excitement of the princes.
From this point of view, Gou Jian is also a person who "lives in the present". He plays the game of "fighting day and night" and seems impatient to do anything.
The reason why there is a word "ye" is entirely because Zhiyao, Fucha, and Goujian are the same kind of people. They all pay attention to efficiency in everything they do. What needs to be seen is whether their endings will be the same. And they will do many things in the same hurry.
His descendants, such as Zheng, Che, Guang.
"I have returned to my country and decided to raise an army to attack Chu. This is what I want to see," Gou Jian said.
If Zhiyao didn't know that Yue was now robbing Wu's old territory and was still attacking Ju, she might have believed Gou Jian's words.
"The Marquis of Yue believes in me so much, how can I not believe it?" Zhiyao said something wrong.
In fact, Zhiyao didn't care why Gou Jian left, she just needed Gou Jian to leave.
On the same day, a former army escorted Gou Jian away.
Later, the news of Gou Jian's departure was sent to Chu Junzhang through some channels. Ye Gong and Dou Huai also received the news.
Just because Zhiyao would not harm Gou Jian's life does not mean that Gou Jian's departure needs to be kept secret, and Gou Jian did not ask for it to be kept secret either!
Maybe Gou Jian felt that Zhi Yao was the same kind of person as him, and he knew very well that Zhi Yao would not keep secrets.
What's more likely is that Gou Jian doesn't care?
So what was the purpose of Gou Jian giving those instructions to Wen Zhong despite not caring about him? To appease Wen Zhong, or did he think that the princes would not trust Zhiyao in a hostile state, which was considered a sign of confidence?
There should be both.
Chu Junzhang's left eye was disabled, and he managed not to faint despite the extreme pain.
"Has Gou Jian left?" Chu Junzhang heard the news and sent Bai Gongsheng to check it out in person.
Bai Gongsheng said: "I saw Yue Jun lying on his bed, and I heard that he was infected with wind and cold."
Chu Junzhang said: "Did you really see this person with your own eyes?"
Bai Gongsheng met Gou Jian in a dimly lit situation, and his voice sounded like Gou Jian's. He had no doubts at first, but after being questioned repeatedly by Chu Junzhang, he became a little unsure.
"Will you go again, please?" Bai Gongsheng said.
Chu Junzhang looked at Bai Gongsheng with one eye and said: "Although the original prince is our enemy, he has never deceived me." The 'I' in front refers to the state of Chu.
So far, Zhiyao’s credibility is quite guaranteed.
Let me tell you something that is true. Compared with Zhiyao's words, Gou Jian's credibility is even worse.
Chu Junzhang said firmly: "Gou Jian must have left."
Do you know why Gou Jian dared to see Zhiyao? It was not that Zhiyao did not dare to kill him, but that the Yue State without Gou Jian did not have the ability to threaten the Chu State.
In the same way, Chu Junzhang knew what Gou Jian meant to the Yue Kingdom and wanted to kill Gou Jian more than once, but due to various reasons he could not find the opportunity to do so.
Since Chu Junzhang knew about Gou Jian's threat, it means that Gou Jian also knew that once the Chu State had the opportunity to destroy the Yue State, he would not let it go, and would only temporarily cooperate due to the existence of the original state.
Now, it seems that the original country has gained a relatively large advantage. Gou Jian chose to seize the opportunity and wanted to become another Wu country. He believed that he was strong enough to be qualified to compete. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this understanding. He is just acting.
His methods were as shameless as ever.
"I am not allowed to die." Chu Junzhang said.
The former King of the Communist Party of Chu was shot out of one eye in the "Battle of Yanling". The injury was properly treated and he lived for fifteen years.
Bai Gongsheng immediately said: "I will send people to Qin immediately."
Is history repeating itself?
The King of the Communist Party of Chu could only live for another fifteen years if he received proper treatment from Qin doctors.
The war was still going on, but after Bai Gongsheng was disarmed, he chose to approach the original army on a bicycle to explain his intention, and got permission to visit Zhiyao.
"It is definitely not my intention to hurt the Lord of Chu. Your country is sending people to Qin for medical treatment, and I can let them go," Zhiyao said.
Bai Gongsheng immediately thanked him.
Zhiyao seemed to be kind-hearted and said: "There are also good doctors in our army. Maybe Mr. Chu can come?"
Why didn't medical officers from the Yuan Kingdom go to the Chu army to help Chu Junzhang treat him? This involves some factors that are not humane.
Bai Gongsheng asked: "Why didn't the original marquis send a good doctor?"
Zhiyao replied: "If my medical officer goes there and something unexpected happens to the Lord of Chu, how can I explain it to the world?"
Right? It doesn’t matter whether he is saved or not. Once Zhiyao is willing to help, Chu Junzhang dies from his injuries, which will inevitably lead to Zhiyao failing to kill him once and sending someone to kill him a second time.
If Chu Junzhang was sent to Zhiyao, Yuan Guo would have to try his best to treat him.
What we now have to see is what the Chu State will choose.
