Chapter 813 The King of Wu couldn’t figure out how he was about to lose his country.
Three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu!
It's a pity that in the novel, the Yue girl A Qing can kill them all with just one sword.
At this moment, the novel reflects reality.
Li Yunze, holding a sword in one hand, did not show off his virtue by wearing clothes, but transformed into a sword god, as graceful as a startling dragon, and as graceful as a wandering dragon, walking through three thousand armors.
Thousands of arrows, like Lin Changbing, can't hurt him in the slightest.
Li Yunze was like an emotionless machine. The dagger in his hand kept thrusting in and out again like an afterimage, repeating thousands of blows in a cycle.
When he finally stood in front of Gou Jian, the king holding the Yue King Sword had dull eyes, as if he was mentally retarded.
"Who...are you?"
Gou Jian's voice was dry and hoarse, his eyes were frightened and his body was trembling slightly.
At this moment, looking at Li Yunze standing in front of him, looking at Li Yunze covered in blood and holding a bloody blade, he felt like he was seeing a ghost!
Gou Jian, who could eat excrement while sleeping, was certainly not a fool.
He knew very well that today next year would be his death anniversary.
One man and one sword slaughtered his own brigade of elite soldiers. Such ghost-like existences, even if they are going to die, at least their names must be known.
Li Yunze, who looked cold, looked at Gou Jian calmly.
After a moment, a sword was swung out.
"You do not deserve!"
Gou Jian, clutching his neck, fell into a pool of blood. Accompanying him were three thousand Yue Jia who could swallow Wu.
The last fighting force of the Yue Kingdom fell to Li Yunze's sword.
The Yue Kingdom, which lost its last soldier, quickly fell into a state of disintegration and was already in name only.
Here, Li Yunze can finally take Huansha and his wife home with peace of mind.
On the way back to the State of Lu, Li Yunze sat on the carriage, bored and driving forward.
Lu Ban on the side was playing with the wooden bird in his hand enthusiastically: "Master, this wooden bird can fly in the sky for as long as a cup of tea."
"A cup of tea is nothing."
Li Yunze yawned, "You can only be considered successful if you can fly for three days and three nights."
"Three days and three nights..." Lu Ban's face dropped. "But Master, you said that it needs a power source to operate for a long time. But where can the power source come from that can support three days and three nights?"
"You haven't learned this yet, but you will know it after you learn it."
Li Yunze yawned again, "The wooden birds and the like will wait for now. The machine beasts and the like are not in a hurry. Let's finish the columbine and the plow first."
"oh."
Luban was a little disappointed.
Rather than making farm tools, he prefers to make weird things, such as the Bagua lock made of wooden strips, which is very interesting.
However, Lu Ban, who was still in the learning stage, could only listen to what his master said.
There's nothing you can do about it. After all, if you want to learn it well, you have to... ahem.
It was getting late, and Li Yunze found a grassland on the bank of a stream to set up camp.
Untie the bit of the pack horse's lasso and take the horse to the stream to wash, eat and drink.
Zheng Dan and Shi Yiguang, who were in the carriage, also came down with their luggage to prepare for dinner.
As for Lu Ban, he walked into the stream with his own fishing artifact, a fishing bag made of leather wicker, and caught several large fish weighing more than a pound.
"The wilderness scenery, the place that has not been disturbed by humans, the fish in the stream can grow so big."
When making dinner with these fish, Li Yunze remembered with some regret that in the modern world, the so-called fish in streams are generally larger than tadpoles.
What's more, there are scenic spots that use tap water pipes directly as streams...
Skillfully remove the scales and internal organs, and fry the fish on the iron plate.
The most important thing when frying fish is to have enough oil. If there is not enough oil, it will not taste good.
After dinner, Lu Ban took his package very skillfully, went to set up a tent dozens of steps away, and tied the packhorse to a tree stump not far away.
As for Li Yunze, after eating and drinking enough, he rinsed his mouth, went back to the carriage carriage and lay down, took out a book and read it.
The girls cleaned up the mess and got into the carriage together before the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared on the horizon.
Then...the sound of the waves is still there.
Lu Ban has long been used to it, lying in the tent playing with the Bagua Lock, thinking about how to make a power source so that his wooden bird can fly for three days and three nights.
As for the faint sound of artillery fire, just ignore it.
At the beginning of Haishi, the wind stopped, the rain stopped, and the sound of artillery fire gradually subsided, and there was no more noise in the fields except the chirping of insects and the water flowing.
When the sky turns white, Lu Ban is the first to get up.
He quickly packed up his tent, then cut wood and made a fire to take care of the horses.
Not long after, the two mistresses also got off the carriage and boiled hot water and warm dry food for breakfast.
After Li Yunze, who had arrived late, also had breakfast, the group packed up and continued on their way back north.
Different from the previous journey, today they encountered soldiers and horses.
They are the soldiers and horses of Wu State.
Several knights from the Kingdom of Wu came on horseback from behind. When they saw the carriage, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they chased after them and immediately surrounded them.
He didn't even bother to say unnecessary nonsense, he just pulled out his sword and killed and looted.
For the sergeants of this era, this is a completely normal thing.
Li Yunze didn't even raise his eyelids and whispered, "Keep one alive."
Lu Ban on the side reached out and took out a repeating crossbow from behind.
After buckling the gun, he shot down four knights one after another with one arrow, and the last one was shot into the thigh.
Without Li Yunze's instructions, Lu Ban picked up his own hammer and stepped forward, asking the wounded, "Who are you?"
The cavalryman was not a tough guy, and he revealed his identity without hesitation.
He is a sentinel from the Kingdom of Wu.
When he was in Yue State, Li Yunze wanted to drive Wu State to destroy Yue, but the king refused to listen. Instead of sending troops to attack Yue State, he turned around and went north to attack Qi State.
These sentinels are the vanguard of the Wu army.
Li Yunze called Lu Ban back, rode his horse and dragged the carriage forward.
"After returning to Lu, write a letter to your senior brother."
Li Yunze asked Lu Ban to "tell him that there is no need to stay in Wu anymore."
"yes."
It was more than two months later that Sun Wu received Lu Ban's letter.
At this time, Wu State went north and defeated Qi State in the Battle of Ailing, and the country's prestige suddenly reached its peak.
However, as Wu Guo won consecutive battles, King Wu's confidence became more and more swollen.
Not only did he not listen to the persuasion of Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, but he became more and more militaristic, constantly mobilizing troops against small countries, and even had the idea of defending the middle-level countries Song and even Lu.
This kind of behavior not only made enemies everywhere, but also angered Jin State, the former big benefactor.
The Jin State supported the Wu State with a great deal of diplomatic and financial support, and the purpose was naturally to weaken the Chu State.
Now the Wu State has been fattened. Not only did it destroy the Chu State once, but now it is going north to fight for hegemony and become the overlord!
What is this? This is a white-eyed wolf.
As the true overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, how could the Jin State tolerate this anger?
Not surprisingly, Jin immediately cut off its support to Wu and ordered many small alliance countries not to give Wu face.
When the news came, King Wu didn't care.
His original intention was to strive for hegemony, so it was only expected that he would fall out with Jin, the recognized hegemon in the world.
Anyway, the Wu Kingdom is now invincible, so if you fall out, you can fall out, because you have plenty of financial backers.
Then, Sun Wu and Wu Zixu came together and expressed their intention to resign and go into seclusion.
King Wu was surprised at first, and then tried to persuade him to stay. After the attempt to stay was fruitless, he agreed with a little regret.
The reason is very simple. King Wu felt that now that Wu was so powerful and he was victorious in all battles, what else was there to say? It didn't matter if Sun Wu and Wu Zixu were there or not.
For Sun Wu, he came to the Kingdom of Wu just for experience. Now that he has experienced everything that should be experienced, he can naturally leave freely and freely whenever he wants.
Wu Zixu himself was still somewhat attached to the state of Wu.
But now that the great revenge has been avenged, there is no pursuit in the heart. In addition, Li Yunze asked them to leave, so naturally they chose to go into seclusion.
Another important reason is that when Sun Wu and Wu Zixu first came to Wu, they were served by the former King of Wu, Helu.
Helu is their real king.
Helu was already dead at this time, and the current King of Wu was disobedient. He said everything he said was "the king wouldn't listen," so what else could he say? He could just pat his butt and leave.
They are already worthy of the state of Wu.
King Wu Fu Chai felt that the country of Wu was so powerful that it would be fine without anyone.
But the result was that after Sun Wu and Wu Zixu left, Fan Li, who had been the financial backer of Wu for many years, suddenly stated that he would withdraw his capital.
When Fu Chai heard the news, he was first shocked and then furious.
How dare a mere businessman take Qiao in front of a few people?
He immediately confiscated all Fan Li's business in Wu and made a huge profit.
Fu Chai felt that he was very capable, so he sent troops to attack Qi State again, and even directly used ships to land in Qi State to fight.
But the result was that he was defeated by Qi and returned home.
Subsequently, the Wei State, the Song State, the State of Lu, and other countries made trouble one after another, harassing and attacking the State of Wu, causing great trouble.
What's even more terrible is that the Chu State, which received hints from the Jin State and was funded by Confucianism, quickly restored its national strength and began to send troops to the Wu State.
For a moment, Wu Guo seemed to be in a state of turmoil.
The Wu army, which was once invincible, became weaker and weaker as it fought, and in the end it could not even defeat the Wei Kingdom, the Kingdom of Lu, and the Kingdom of Song.
Fu Chai couldn't figure out why.
As for the country of Wu, years of wars have led to the decline of the population, exhaustion of all industries, and widespread complaints from the people. The morale of the military has plummeted.
In the past, with the support of Confucianism, people could spend money to purchase various supplies and calm domestic pressure.
But after Confucianism withdrew its capital, Wu State could not buy anything with its wealth.
The Jin State and Chu State put pressure together. The Wu State sent troops in successive years and offended all the neighboring countries. Now it is besieged on all sides... on three sides.
As for the mainstay of the Wu Kingdom, the elite soldiers trained by Sun Wu were gradually used up in successive years of war.
Training these soldiers is not easy and requires a lot of resources.
The country of Wu was either at war or on the way to war. Domestic production was withering badly. Before, it could be supported by Confucianism. Now that Confucianism has abandoned the country of Wu, naturally all industries have withered, and even the food grown is not enough to eat.
Without supplies, of course, elite soldiers cannot be trained.
Without elite soldiers, the war cannot be won.
If the war is lost, the country will be destroyed.
When the Wu Kingdom was rushing towards the abyss of national subjugation, Li Yunze received a gift from Li Er from Hangu Pass.
