I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 338 Sun Tzu's Bluff

Wu Ju was at a loss for words after all this robbing, and then he sneered again:
"Hehe, it's what a gentleman can do if he knows his mistakes. Since that's the case, Keyou is not a small person, so he won't be aggressive here."

Wu Ju heard the words, not to be outdone, but also let out a cold snort, and said:
"Mr. Cai just said that before King Wu sent you, he did divination, and the hexagrams were also auspicious? But in my opinion, the person who did the divination is probably not a person with little talent and learning? If not, how could it be?" Let your son come here to break into our dragon pool and tiger's lair alone? As everyone knows, is this trip, son, a narrow escape?"

Hearing what Wu Ju said, he knew what he meant by probing, so he replied neither humble nor overbearing:

"Hehe, how dare you make assumptions about whether this is auspicious or not? Isn't this all up to the heavens? What's more, he didn't say that his trip was auspicious? How can your lord see this hexagram?" Is the elephant referring to the next?"

"Oh? How do you say this? Young Master, you mean... If I, a Chu people, really use Young Master to sacrifice drums, it's okay?"

"Hehe, if this is the case, there is nothing you can do about it. It's just that Jiyou came here for the truce between the two countries. If you are really killed here today, then your army had better take precautions. If I die, I, Wu People must share the same hatred, and will fight to the death with your army to the end! Your lord, may you not have heard the principle of "a soldier must win"? When our army wins a complete victory, isn't it just a good or bad thing to do?"

When Wu Ju heard this, he could not help but squint his eyes:
"Hehe, for those who are clever tongues, divination has always been about one event and one event. How can there be any reason for divination about the former event?"

Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing out loud:

"Hahaha, my lord is really ignorant! The divination of any country must be based on the interests of the country, how can it be for a family? If my death is beneficial to the country, then it is natural for the country of Wu. Good omen!"

"The tortoise that guards a country, what can't be divination? Who can confirm the judgment of good and bad luck except heaven? Who knows where it will be fulfilled in the end?"

"It's the same with you Chu people back then. During the battle with Pu, the city of Jin, King Cheng of Chu must have used divination before he went out to fight, right? But in the end? Although he was defeated by Duke Wen of Jin, this auspicious omen In the end, it was fulfilled in the Battle of Bi. The same is true for the mission of Qiyou, for my country of Wu, what is there to worry about about the life and death of Qiyou?!"

"Hehe, the young master is eloquent and eloquent, which is really admirable. I never thought that even though Wuyue is a barbaric country, it can produce such wise men as the young master."

"Young master, don't blame me. In fact, we didn't intend to do any harm. We just tried to test the gentleman's side just now, to see how the gentleman will react!"

After Li Ran heard the words, he replied respectfully.

Seeing this, Kuiyou also smiled lightly:
"Oh? Could this be the famous Mr. Ziming?"

Seeing that he is so popular, like Gui Ruzhang, and considering his age and position, he can guess Li Ran's identity naturally.

Li Ran ordered someone to bring hot water and treated him with courtesy.

"Young master's words are sharp. When you go to our camp, you can be so humble, reasonable and restrained. It's really admirable!"

Knowing that Li Ran came to sing with a bad face, but he didn't buy it, he still said sharply:
"It's just that this cup of clear water is too much to spend. How can such hospitality reflect the etiquette of a big country? What's more, because of this, it also brought a lot of things to reward the army. Why don't you set up a banquet and treat me with courtesy, so that you can return to your life."

Hearing this, Li Ran knew that there must be no loss of etiquette in this game, so he immediately ordered his servants to come, and called out:

"We have a distinguished guest here today! Set up a banquet quickly, entertain Young Master Yu and his entourage, there must be no mistakes!"

Li Ran also asked people to unload the cattle and sheep carried by several cars that came along with him, and secretly ordered all the soldiers in the camp not to move without authorization, and those who disobeyed the order would be punished without mercy!
Not only that, Li Ran also ordered people to search for all kinds of treasures from all over the world, thinking of them as hospitality.Moreover, people were also ordered to take only the supernatant part of the rare wine (generally the turbid wine drunk by ordinary people, similar to the current fermented rice) and use it as sake for entertaining distinguished guests.

The reason why Li Ran did this was obviously to show the illusion that the Chu camp was well-stocked.

And at the big banquet, Kui You was not polite, he ate and drank all the time in the banquet, and looked like he had no other distractions.Wu Ju raised a toast, and tried several times to get Wu Jun's truth out of his mouth, but Keyou kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal half of it.

At this time, seeing Sun Wu coming in from outside the camp, Li Ran knew that he had prepared everything.

"Oh, Changqing! You came just in time, and I have reserved a place for you."

"Thank you sir!"

Holding the sword hilt, Sun Wu sat directly opposite to Keyou, who also felt the murderous aura on this man, the hand holding the wine cup trembled uncontrollably, and spilled some wine.

But Sun Wu still turned a blind eye, picked up a food, and ate without hesitation.

"This...isn't this the well-known General Sun Changqing?"

Sun Wu squinted at Kui You.

"That's right, I'm here! Wu followed Mr. Ziming to fight north and south, and he was invincible wherever he went. Recently, I heard that the king of Chu wanted to use troops against Wu again, so Sun Wu went and came back. Get a lot of fame! Now the Chu army is strong and strong, and it is time to use it! Therefore, I, Sun Changqing, is determined to win the life of King Wu Yuji!"

"It's just that my husband respects Zhou etiquette and loves righteousness, and he can't bear the two countries to see swordsmen again. Therefore, after chasing Wu to this point, he just wants to talk about peace with Wu and Chu, so as to prevent the two countries from fighting again. After all, in the end, wars lead to disasters, and in the end they suffer. After all, they are still ordinary people!"

Sun Wu's voice seemed to be piercing clouds and cracking stones, but it was not shouting, every sentence was clanging, after a while, the words were still in my ears.

Ke You could speak eloquently, but in the face of such a strong general, he seemed to have a natural suppression of him, not to mention that although Sun Wu was young, he exuded a general aura that he had never seen before.

After all, Sun Wu is well-known, and what he said is consistent with the previous intelligence.Therefore, even if you don't believe it completely, you still have to be skeptical.

He smiled embarrassingly, put down the wine cup, and asked disdainfully:

"Hehe, I'm afraid, it's not that easy for the general to kill the widow, right?"

"Whether it is easy or not, we will know in a few days. If Sun can kill one, how can he not kill two?"

Sun Wu brought up the old story again, and the meaning in his words was nothing more than saying that since he was able to design to kill Wu Wang Zhufan back then, he can also kill Wu Wang Yuji today.

What's more, the words were extremely threatening, but after seeing Sun Wu's words, he drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, neatly and without delay.

After the banquet was over, Jiyou and the ten Wu army attendants he brought out of the tent, but saw that the Chu army had lined up in two teams, each of them was in order, with bronze horses and golden spears, and the momentum was terrifying.

But the Chu troops elsewhere were either patrolling or practicing in an orderly manner. The chariots around the camp were strong, the horses were orderly, and there were people shouting at the back of the camp.

Li Ran and the others personally sent Jiyou to the gate of the camp, and looked around.

"Sir, do you have anything else to say to the widow?"

Li Ran said calmly:
"Hehe, just say 'If you fight, then fight'!"

He couldn't help being startled, then cupped his hands and said:

"Hehe, if we fight, we Wu people have absolutely no reason to back down! Our Wu people are no less resolute than Chu people!"

He then went out to the camp and headed towards the camp of the Wu army. Li Ran and others looked at his back, and Sun Wu said:
"Sir, with such words, will Wu Jun really retreat?"

But Li Ran only shook his head:
"To retreat or not to retreat is only a matter of Yu Ji's thought!"

"Then... What does the saying 'never back down' mean?"

Wu Ju came from the side, and couldn't help asking a question.

"Hehe, this is just his bluffing. But to be on the safe side, we need to strengthen our guard and order people to take strict precautions!"

Li Ran is certainly well prepared to spy on the military situation this time.Sun Wu also said it very well, but it's just that he is clever, insightful, knowledgeable and able to argue, I don't know if he has seen the clues of this.

After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is actually extremely unfavorable to the Chu army.
