I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Li Ran and Sun Wu traveled together in the starry night, heading for Qianxi.After only a few days, the two of them returned to Biyangguan before.

Since this pass is the only stronghold in the next few days, Li Ran and Sun Wu also had to stop here.

Sun Wu stepped forward to negotiate with the soldiers guarding the city gate, and when these guards saw Sun Wu's appearance, they immediately recognized him.After all, Sun Wu's "heroic appearance" at that time was deeply engraved in their minds.

"Quick! Go and report to your lord!"

Seeing this person came to knock on the pass alone, how dare those guards make their own claims?So, he immediately reported the news to the guard.

And the guard of Biyang Pass, when he heard that Li Ran and Sun Wu had left and returned, he couldn't help being startled:
"Why did these two people go and come back again? Could it be that they came to seek revenge on me?!"

Although the guard of Biyangguan felt uneasy for a while, as the leader, he had to come forward.Therefore, he had to be fully armed, and led more than a hundred soldiers to go out to negotiate with Li Ran.

But this time, after all, there is a lesson learned from the past, so this time, the guard of Biyang Pass hid far away, and shouted to Sun Wu on the opposite side tens of meters away:
"Why did you two go and come back?!"

"The king of Chu is in trouble! My husband now wants to turn back to Qianxi to help the king of Chu, so he is passing through this place."

The guard heard the words, although he didn't know whether his intentions were true or not, but he had actually heard the news that "the king of Chu is in trouble", and as far as this matter is concerned, it was indeed true.

As a member of the army, he knew the urgency of the military situation, so he stepped forward and personally welcomed Li Ran and Sun Wu into the pass.

"The two of you are going to Qianxi now? Don't you know that the widow has already gone to Suodi to camp?"

Hearing this, Li Ran and Sun Wu couldn't help but look at each other:
"Zuodi? Is the King of Chu ready to conquer Wu?"

Obviously, Suodi is the most advanced stronghold at the junction of Wu and Chu. It is self-evident that the king of Chu, Xiongwei, has moved his army here.

"Not good! The land of Lai has been lost, and the nest and the state are in danger. If the Chu State wants to fight the Wu people again at this time, this is definitely not a chance to win!"

Sun Wu made his own judgment based on the news he had heard so far.After hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help asking:
"Then... from Changqing's opinion, the battle of Chu State must be more ominous than good?"

"It must be so! Wu Wang Yu Ji came here this time, and he obviously made sufficient preparations. Now it is the rainy season, and the benefits of the boat division are even greater! The Chu army cannot build city defenses, and the Wu people also have the advantages of the boat division. .One will ebb and flow, and the King of Chu will suffer a lot in the near future!"

"and……"

Sun Wu's eyes widened suddenly, as if extremely frightened:
"Furthermore... Suodi carrying water is a place of death! The king of Chu chose to station here, and there is no way to retreat. If there are Wu Renzhou divisions attacking him again, wouldn't the Chu army be in danger?"

"From the point of view of martial arts, if the Chu master is really defeated, then instead of being able to retreat, the king of Chu will be driven to Luo Rui. Only Luo Rui can cross the river and retreat. However, Luo Rui originally belonged to the country of Lai, and now Now that Lai has entered Wu, there is no doubt that the king of Chu will be in a very dangerous situation!"

But at this moment, the guard who had been waiting on the side suddenly interrupted:
"The general's words are wrong. Although Luo Rui belongs to the territory of Lai State, after crossing the river, it is the territory of Cai State. Now Cai State belongs to our Chu State, and the fourth prince is Cai Gong. How can the King of Chu be unable to escape?"

"Besides, since the situation is urgent now, why don't you two go to Cai Guo to ask the fourth prince to send troops to welcome back the widow?!"

After Li Ran and Sun Wu heard this, they couldn't help being surprised again.

Because outsiders may not be clear about the inside story, but Li Ran and Sun Wu are very clear about it.

It was Guan Cong's plan to drive the king of Chu to Luo Rui and then trap him to death in Luo Rui.So, how could Prince Qiji, the Duke of Cai, send troops to meet him?
When Li Ran regained his composure, he couldn't help but nodded and said in a low voice:
"Sure enough, it's really a good cooperation between the inside and the outside!"

"Presumably, the reason why the King of Chu chose to stay in Yusuo with his back was because of Guan Cong's plan! This is obviously because Guan Cong cooperated with the Wu people and tied up a big bag, waiting for the King of Chu to jump in!"

"In Changqing's opinion, what should I do now?"

Sun Wu heard Mr. asking such a question, and while pondering, he read in his mouth:

"Since the King of Chu has dispatched all the main forces, there must be no soldiers to send in Qianxi now. Then even if we go to Qianxi now, it will be useless."

"It's better...it's better to go to Zhongli and Chen Guo to ask for help!"

"Chen Guo?"

For Zhongli, Li Ran naturally knew it well.Because Shen Wuyu is now the county magistrate of Zhongli, and Li Ran himself is the magistrate of Zhongli.

Back then, the reason why King Xiongwei of Chu granted Zhongli to Li Ran was to deal with the situation like today.

Therefore, Li Ran has no hesitation about Zhongli's teacher.However, he was not fully sure about Chen Guo, so he asked a question.

"The county magistrate of Chen County wears Fengxu. This man is very resolute. Wu used to have a relationship with him on several occasions. Now that the King of Chu is in trouble, he will definitely not stand by and watch."

"It's better to go from Wu to Chen Guo, meet Chuan Fengxu, and call Chen Guo's teachers. Sir, you can go to Zhongli in person and call Zhongli's teachers. Then we can meet in Xia Rui."

Although Sun Wu's plan sounds extremely safe at first glance, in fact, due to the long distance between Zhongli and Chen Guo, and now the war is about to break out, and the battle situation is changing rapidly.

Therefore, when they really mobilized reinforcements, they didn't know what kind of situation it would be.

Li Ran couldn't help but still feel a little worried about this, but he also knew that this was the best way at the moment.So, he nodded and said:
"Well... that's the only plan for now."

Then, Li Ran turned his head back, and said to the guard behind him:
"There is one more thing. It seems that I have to ask the general to do it for me."

When the guard at Biyang Pass heard this, he was immediately flattered and hurriedly bowed and replied:

"Don't dare, how dare, the status of the general is humble, and it is the luck of the general if he is promoted by the senior minister. If the senior minister has a mission, but it doesn't matter, the general dare not disobey."

Li Ran also bowed and gave him instructions:
"I also ask the general to order someone to announce it to another place. He only said that he was ordered by the king of Chu to gather the righteous men of Chu State in Xia Rui to fight against Wu State together."

But seeing the guard clasped his fists in both hands, he made a promise.

Afterwards, Li Ran and Sun Wu also took a rest in the pass, and then headed towards Zhongli and Chen Guoshi respectively.
