I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

If Zhiyao is really stupid enough to go up there in person, no matter if he is dead or injured, the original army will definitely fall into chaos, and the Vietnamese army will have a chance to break through.

Now it is Zhiying who puts on Zhiyao's armor and goes up. He and the suspected Yue King Goujian fight under the watchful eyes of the two armies.

"Should I let Zhiying die, or be injured and defeated, and lure the Vietnamese army to break through?" Zhiyao was thinking about this at this moment.

Don't talk about cruelty or anything, if necessary, killing a Zhiying can set up a trick for the Vietnamese army to be fooled. How many soldiers of the original army should be saved?

As soon as that idea was born, Zhiyao immediately killed it.

At present, the original army has an overall advantage, and it only needs to follow the steps to win, and there is no need to do anything else.

Under Zhiyao's gaze, Zhiying, who entered the fighting state, behaved very bravely.

Zhiying is one of the people who grew up with Zhiyao. She is a few years younger than Zhiyao. She is 43 this year and is in her prime.

Those who grew up with Zhiyao didn't just study, how could they not practice killing skills?
The chariot battle only lasted about a hundred breaths. Zhiying's sweeping sweep actually hooked the neck of the enemy general. The chariot was running, and with a pull of his hand, the enemy general's head was separated from his body, leaving a headless corpse. A fountain of blood splashed.

"The king of Yue is dead!
"

Zhiyao shouted first.

The people around knew exactly what that meant, so they reacted and shouted.

Sima Rangju immediately ordered an offensive, and ordered the offensive troops to spread the news that Goujian was killed.

Is the enemy general who lost his head Gou Jian?In fact, after he died in battle, it didn't matter whether it was right or not.

This is the same as Zhiying pretending to be Zhiyao, once killed or injured in battle, it will definitely make the former soldiers who don't know the truth panic.

At that time, even if Zhiyao showed up or yelled, how many people could hear or see, and even more former soldiers who didn't know would not panic when they heard what happened to Zhiyao.

"With Gou Jian as a person, it is impossible to go into battle in person after setting up a conspiracy. He can only attack a wave before the Vietnamese army reacts, and eliminate as many Vietnamese troops as possible." Make predictions and guesses.

The Vietnamese army was already in chaos. A large number of soldiers turned and ran towards the camp, while a small number of soldiers scattered into the wilderness.

Zhiying picked up the head and came back, knelt down on one knee towards Zhiyao, and said solemnly: "Please look over it, Your Majesty."

Zhiyao, who thought it was just a formality, didn't pay much attention to it, waiting for the head to remove the helmet and visor, Zhiyao was obviously stunned.

"Water, bring clean water, wash the head and show it to everyone." Zhiyao is not so sure that she is wrong, why does it look more and more like Goujian's own head?
The hair on this head is all silver-white, and it looks like it is quite old.

King Goujian of Yue is nearly 70 years old this year, and he is indeed quite old.

Zhiying realized something, and stared stiffly at the moment when his head was cleaned of blood. Seeing that distorted face, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was Goujian, the king of Yue himself.

But Zhiyao's mind was a little messed up, and she murmured: "Impossible, how could it be Goujian, it must be a substitute with a similar appearance?"...

Assassinations are very popular in Wu and Yue countries. It is not surprising that noble people find one or more similar-looking people as substitutes.

Zhiyao looked at the fighting area, looked carefully for a while, and found that the chaos of the Vietnamese army had spread to the barracks, and she couldn't find where Goujian's Wang Qi was after searching.

The reason why it is unbelievable is that Gou Jian's own head is mainly because Gou Jian is not afraid of death, but he is very cautious when he is good at conspiracy and tricks, and it is almost impossible to fight in person.

A person who has spent most of his life exercising conspiracies and tricks, how could he be so impulsive when he gets old?

For example, Zhiyao was brave at the beginning, but she became more and more cautious as her career got bigger, and now she can even be said to be afraid of death.

"Great King?" Zhiying called stupidly, then asked hesitantly: "This head, is it really the King of Yue?"

It's really Goujian's head, which means that Zhiying killed the king of Yue, and he is also the first person to kill the king in 200 years.

Do you think that killing the king of the enemy country is only credit?To be honest, in any era, killing the king of an enemy country is a great achievement, but it is also a great hidden danger.

Why?It can be summed up in a simple word, which is: things hurt their kind.

Let's put it this way, everyone is a king, and they will definitely create and maintain the sanctity of the king.As a king, someone who dares to kill the king of an enemy country has to make people think about whether they dare to attack the king of their own country one day.

From the Spring and Autumn Period until the Western Han Dynasty, shooting and killing without accidents, and excluding Xiang Yu, there is really no one who dared to kill the king as a minister.

Before Xiang Yu became a prince, he ordered Qin Ziying to be executed. Later, don't blame Liu Bang for repeatedly trying to kill Xiang Yu by means of all means.The reason is that the murderer always kills.

From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, many emperors died under the conspiracy of their own country, which directly defeated the king's sanctity.

During the period of Wuhu Chaohua and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the number of masters who died of various conspiracies increased. Finally, Yang Sui wanted to rebuild that set of rules. After Yang Sui destroyed the country, he treated the kings of the conquered countries kindly, but Yang Guang died. In the hands of his favorite minister Yu Wenhuaji, he once again returned to the situation of "a lost phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken".

The five dynasties and ten kingdoms that followed directly entered the era when whoever had a hard fist was the boss, and the sacred kings collapsed completely.

What time is it now?It can be regarded as the late Spring and Autumn Period, and it can also be regarded as the early period of the Warring States Period.

Although the Warring States Period has just started, it is a bit of an end trend, many original rules are still preserved, including the "king is sacred".

Not only did Zhiying not rejoice at the possibility of killing Goujian, but fell into great panic!

"Go and replace Jiawei." Zhiyao didn't say much.

If it is really Goujian's head, Zhiyao will reward Zhiying in other ways.

Because Zhiying pretended to be Zhiyao to fight, it will be announced that Goujian died at the hands of Zhiyao.

This is not the credit of Zhiyao's shameless occupation of Zhiying, it is completely protecting Zhiying, giving her political life, and avoiding a series of future troubles. …

Of course, those who know must keep their mouths shut, and Zhiying herself will never be able to show off that she killed Goujian for the rest of her life, and the price of not being able to control it will be far greater than imagined!

Of course, what Zhiyao should do most is to pretend to mourn for Goujian, and then deal with Zhiying to show the world, which can not only demonstrate Zhiyao's determination to defend the Tao, but also make the rest of the princes not too afraid.

Compared with the world, one person is too small. Killing Zhiying alone can prevent the surviving princes from resisting to the end. To be honest, it is very cost-effective.

Zhiyao needs to take a look at the development of the situation later, and if necessary, she can only sacrifice Zhiying.

Of course, the most important thing now is to attack the chaotic Vietnamese army first, and then check to see if the killed person is Goujian's substitute.

Then, the original army needs to seize the high-level officials on the Yue side, preferably Goujian's confidantes.

Regardless of whether Goujian actually went to battle in person, it is impossible to keep it 100% confidential, and someone else must know about it.

The chaos of the Vietnamese army has not been stopped at all. On the contrary, after the original army invaded the Vietnamese army camp, a large number of Vietnamese troops began to throw away their weapons and surrender.

Although the battle went smoothly, it still took more than five days for the original army to basically end the battle in the camp, and will continue to chase and kill the scattered and fled Vietnamese troops.

"Have you caught Wenzhong?" Zhiyao said eagerly when she heard the news, "Come and meet me."

In the past few days, Yuan Guo has been confirming Gou Jian's whereabouts.

After that day, Gou Jian completely disappeared.

So far, Yuanguo still cannot guarantee 100% that the person who was killed was Goujian, and it is necessary to find out who the head belongs to.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, is Dr. Wen safe?" Zhiyao didn't treat Wen Zhong with the arrogance of a victor, but behaved extremely politely.

Wen Zhong looked very embarrassed, his hair crown fell out of nowhere, his hair was messy, and there was even blood on his body.

"I have met the original king." Wen Zhong maintained the most basic demeanor, and continued after saluting: "Congratulations to the original king for his victory. I wonder if the Yue Kingdom can be owned by the original king, or has it been divided between Chu and Song?"

They haven't received news from the rear for a long time, and they don't know that the situation in the world has changed a lot.

The reason why I asked whether the mainland of Yue State was captured by the Song Army or the Chu Army, how could it be possible for a person who can sit in a high position not to have the most basic judgment?
Zhiyao was silent for a while, then asked directly: "Has Goujian escaped?"

Wen Zhong was stunned, and asked in a daze: "My king has died under the original king's halberd, and the original king is so honored that he doesn't keep it for my king?"

What the hell? ? ?
In other words, the person who came out that day was really Goujian! ?
Zhiyao still couldn't believe it, she shook her head and said, "Who is Goujian! How could he be so brave?"

Wen Zhong was puzzled at first, then became angry, raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Zhiyao, his lips were trembling all the time, but he didn't utter a single syllable.

"I think Goujian has escaped in disguise? If I don't see Goujian, I will definitely send someone to pursue him." Zhiyao hesitated in her heart, but she said so.

To die at the hand of an enemy king is indeed a final honor for a king at his last resort.

There is no more aggrieved way to die than a king who dies at the hands of his subjects and then is taken to claim credit. …

Even if he dies by self-immolation, at least his final dignity can be guaranteed.

escape?After escaping, there is no hope of revenge, and you will live in the pain of mourning the country all your life. Unless you are really shameless, which king can accept it?

Wen Zhong took a deep breath and said very seriously: "My king has died under the original king's halberd!"

Zhiyao still shook her head, her attitude was that she didn't believe anything.

"Please ask the original king to sew up my king's body and bury it with the rites of a prince." It was not enough for Wen Zhong to bow at ninety degrees, so he simply knelt down and kowtowed.

For other people, you might ask something like "Really?"

Zhiyao let out a burst of "haha" laughter, and said: "I will never believe that Goujian died just like this."

What kind of seeds are planted, what kind of trees grow out, and then bear corresponding fruits.

How other people think of Goujian is their business. Zhiyao never thinks that Goujian is a hero, and even feels that compared with Fucha, Fucha is better than Goujian.

Zhiyao would see it that way because Fu Chai at least invaded the capital of Chu State and once threatened Jin State.

Goujian?In addition to tasting feces, he created the idiom "sleeping on fuel and tasting gall", but he also left behind the idioms "the bird is exhausted and the bow is hidden" and "the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking", which directly led to the no longer mutual trust between the monarch and his ministers.

Without pre-establishing a position, it is a very fair evaluation to define Goujian with "mixed reputation".

Zhiyao is not someone else, even if Goujian's head is really at that moment, she will not be willing to let Goujian die with honor.

A person who has been exercising conspiracy all the time in his life, for the sake of his family, really does not deserve honor.

Later, regardless of whether Goujian died or not, Zhiyao will definitely announce the news of Goujian's death, saying that Goujian pretended to escape and was starved to death.

This is not to announce Goujian's death, which will give false hope to some people, who will repeatedly rebel against the rule of the Yuan Kingdom.

Therefore, the news about Goujian's death must be announced and confirmed!
It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, Zhiyao will order Goujian to be pursued for at least ten years.

After ten years, no matter what Goujian should die.

Zhiyao knew that the Battle of Donglai would definitely win, but what she didn't expect was that it would end in that way.

According to statistics after the war, about [-] Vietnamese troops surrendered, including Wen Zhong and other central personnel of some Yue temples.

They got the treatment they deserved, but they will inevitably be asked about Gou Jian's whereabouts again and again. Everyone's answer is that Gou Jian died at the hands of Yuan Wang Yao.

Lu Ying, the prince of Yue, was also trapped on the beach with a group of sailors. They learned the news of Gou Jian's death and the surrender of the army, but they still chose to resist stubbornly after being persuaded to surrender.

It wasn't until Yuanguo informed that [-] Chu troops had entered the territory of Yueguo that Lu Ying finally made a condition, saying that he would see Chuguo fall with his own eyes, and Zhiyao led his army to surrender after agreeing.

Zhiyao didn't meet Lu Ying, but ordered him to entertain him nicely.

"Your Majesty, many people in the Yue Kingdom are willing to surrender, and they just want to keep Shiyi." Sima Rangju is the commander of this battle, and he will handle all the surrenders.

"Keep the food place?" Zhiyao was a little amused.

We all know that the system of Chu State is different from that of the Central Plains countries. In fact, Wu State and Yue State are not played in the same way as the Central Plains countries.

In Wu and Yue, the king is the biggest slave owner, and the rest of the nobles are also part of the slaves. The simple difference is that the monarchs of the Central Plains countries cannot kill ministers at will, but the monarchs of Wu and Yue can execute ministers without reason. .

Under that kind of system, the nobles of Wu State and Yue State had food towns, but they did not have the right to specify laws, nor did they have the right to form private armies.

"Do these people have the slightest contribution to Ohara?" Zhiyao asked seriously.

Sima Rangju simply laughed too.

Those people have no use value at all, who has the face to make such a request?
