Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 114

Water transportation!

As the relationship with the court began to become tense, Wu Guo also gradually realized that they still held the lifeline of the court in their hands.

Wu Du, Wu Zixu's doctor's house.

Sun Wu and Wu Zixu were sitting opposite each other. This time Sun Wu was wearing light armor, but Wu Zixu was wearing a dark suit with purple brocade and cloud patterns on the right lapel. His complexion was much worse than a few days ago.

Wu Zixu's son, Wu Feng, knelt behind Wu Zixu and looked at his father with worried eyes.

"Zixu."

Looking at his friend's face, Sun Wu persuaded worriedly: "Since your majesty let you stay at home, you should stop writing books in the next few days."

"When he calms down, he will see you again."

"Wait for him to calm down?"

Wu Zixu shook his head, his face was full of disappointment: "I can wait, but can Wu Guo wait?"

"Changqing, it's not that I don't believe in your ability to lead troops, it's just...it's too difficult to be an enemy of the imperial court now."

"Except for Qin Hanming, who dares to really do this?"

The imperial court is not only strong in soldiers and horses, but in the righteousness they grasp.

According to their names, all the vassal states belong to them.

For example, in the state of Wu, there must be many people in the country who feel that they are not only from the state of Wu, but also from the state of Dagan. This kind of identity recognition is difficult to reverse.

Once the war starts, there must be many people and soldiers in Wu State who will doubt themselves.

How to fight this?
Usually, the vassal states choose to report to the group to keep warm. As long as the imperial court attacks or annexes a vassal state for no reason, it will instantly attract the siege of other vassal states.

Everyone understands the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

However, this time the situation was too special. Wu Guo beat up several vassal states around him to the point of destroying the country, and even the imperial court was called by Yue Guo to help.

At this moment, they no longer have any foreign aid.

But Sun Wu comforted Wu Zixu in a deep voice: "Zixu, these Wu troops are all from my own hands, even if they are against the imperial army, they can still fight."

There will never be any situation of looking forward and backward!

"The imperial court's water transport has been cut off, and the border has to be supplied. As long as they stick to it for this period of time, they can't afford it."

When Sun Wu said this, he kept looking at Wu Zixu.

But Wu Zixu sighed, looked at him speechlessly, and said after a long time: "Master, you use your troops like a god. The imperial court sent [-] soldiers and horses. They are indeed no match for you."

"But the state of Wu can still continue to stop the water transportation. If the imperial court is really in a hurry, what if all the forbidden troops in Beijing are sent out?"

Sun Wu nodded: "I know what you mean."

How could he not figure out what to do next?
If there is a fight, the court will not be able to help Wu, and the two sides will definitely make peace in the end.

The imperial court may agree to some exorbitant demands from the Wu Kingdom for grain, but it will definitely not last long!

As for King Wu's character, both of them knew that since they had tasted the sweetness, they would definitely start blackmailing the court.

Under such circumstances, as long as the court has a chance to breathe, it will definitely not be willing to be blackmailed all the time!
Sun Wu said with a sad face: "It's just that the king is such a person, no matter how much he persuades him, it's useless."

"As a minister, I will do my best and have a clear conscience."

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change, even ten cows can't pull back Fucha's temperament.

Wu Feng also couldn't help persuading: "Yes, father, anyway, you have said it all, it's just that the husband didn't listen, if Wu country can't do it, then we can't do it! Let's go to another country!"

Hearing this, Wu Zixu turned his head and glared at him angrily, causing Wu Feng to tremble in fright.

Seeing his son like this, Wu Zixu couldn't bear to get angry, but sighed softly, bending his back for a moment.

"My father fled from Chu State to Wu State when I was young, and escaped death. Now that I am old, I don't want to leave anymore."

He turned around and looked at Sun Wu, and said frankly: "Master, I am determined to persuade the king, and the outcome will not be good. It's just that this child is so reckless at such an age, which makes me worry. .”

"I don't want to repeat the mistakes of my elder brother, so I want to entrust him to you."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stood up and bowed to Sun Wu: "Don't let him get ahead, as long as he lives a peaceful life."

"Father!!"

"Zixu!"

Sun Wu was startled, and hurriedly stood up, wanting to support Wu Zixu's arm: "Why do you need to do this?"

Unexpectedly, Wu Zixu's attitude was very firm: "Changqing, if you can't leave for a while, you can send him to Bao Mu, the doctor of Qi State, please take good care of him."

Sun Wu hurriedly said: "It's not that I don't want to take care of him, but Zixu, why are you so stubborn? Stay at the mansion with peace of mind, what will the king do to you?"

Wu Zixu was still obsessed with not being able to get up, so Sun Wu had no choice but to agree.

"Father..." Wu Feng was already in tears.

Wu Zixu turned around, looked at him, and said with emotion: "If there is an accident, your surname should not be Wu, and you can live incognito for the rest of your life."

"Father……"

Wu Feng wanted to say something more, but Wu Zixu ignored him, turned around and saluted Sun Wu again.

"Changqing, I have helped many people in my life."

"Bo Pi fled from the state of Chu back then, and it was I who urged the late king to keep him. Your son, Fu Chai, was not destined for the throne, so I recommended him to the late king to become the crown prince..."

"It's only now that I've spent half my life discovering that only you, Changqing, are the real ones to be friends with."

Speaking of this, two lines of tears came out of his eyes: "I'm talking about this now, not for other reasons. I just want you to know, don't know people and don't know them, and fall into the same situation as me."

"It's just that when I asked you to come to Wu country, I never expected that you would end up in such a state now, but now it seems that I don't know whether it is for your good or for your harm..."

Sun Wu wiped away his tears, and said with red eyes: "Achievement is a passing thing, I don't want to take it, only the love with Zixu, even if I die, I will not regret it."

For a moment, the hall was full of three people crying.

After a while, Wu Zixu stopped and persuaded Sun Wu: "Don't stay with me any longer, otherwise you will be suspicious with the king's heart."

In this way, Sun Wu got up and left this extremely familiar Wu's mansion step by step.

When he first came to Wudu from Qi State, he lived in this mansion, and watched Wu Zixu recommend him to King Helu of Wu time and time again...

The next day, Wu Guochao hall.

"Stop them! Stop their tankboats!"

In Wu Chaotang, Fu Chai patted the armrest of the throne angrily.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Yellow River burst and the canal was blocked, so the imperial court's tank boats are still in Hengshan and other counties, and have not set off at all." You Gongqing carefully reminded.

"If they don't leave this year, can they never leave?"

After the anger subsided, Fu Chai also gradually calmed down, and said through gritted teeth, "I don't believe that the court can never use grain!"

"Bo Pi, where are the spies you sent to the court? How many soldiers and horses do they plan to send?"

Dazai Bopi hastily stepped out and leaned over: "Your Majesty, when the news came back yesterday, the imperial court planned to send out the second guards of the imperial guards in the capital, a total of 60,000 people Malays to support the Yue Kingdom."

　If there is no accident, it will be on the shelves on Sunday, that is, tomorrow. Please make a first order then, thank you very much
