Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 10
"Forbearance! How long will I have to endure it?"

Fu asked impatiently.

All morning, he endured the shouting and scolding of the enemy troops in the city!
With a violent personality like Fucha, how can he tolerate it?
If the enemies who were yelling at the city were not within the range of the crossbow, they might have been shot into a hornet's nest!

"Young Master, this is just Qingji's trick to lure the enemy. He just wants to scold us out of the city and fight. Please don't be fooled, Young Master."

Wu Zixu could only persuade Fucha patiently.

"Hmph! So what if this is Qingji's plan? How can I be afraid that he won't succeed!"

Fu Chai held his proud head up in disdain.

The young and vigorous Fucha is not afraid of his clan brother Qingji at all!
Qingji is known as the number one warrior in the Wu Kingdom, and he is the best in the world.

But Fu Chai only thinks that he is no worse than Qing Ji in terms of courage!
The laurels of Wu's number one warrior should belong to Fuchai, not Qingji.

Qingji is just a few years older than him, and became famous in his early years!

At this moment, seeing that Fu Chai didn't listen to advice at all, and looked self-willed, Wu Zixu said calmly: "Mr. Fu Chai, if you don't want to listen to these scolding, please go back."

"Here, it is enough for Wu Yuan to stick to it!"

"You! Huh, whatever. Just be a turtle here!"

The furious Fucha glared at Wu Zixu, then turned and left.

Outside the city, Qingji, who had been standing on the military chariot, looked so indifferent from the beginning to the end.

But the generals such as Meng Ben and Hei Fu who stayed aside couldn't stand it.

Meng Ben stepped forward and said, "My lord, order to attack the city!"

"Our army carries a lot of siege equipment, bows and arrows are fully prepared, and morale is high. Although the casualties are not small, it is better than staying here and wasting with them."

"Exactly!"

"Young master, the last general is willing to lead his troops to lead the battle!"

"Now, our army is going all out to capture Wudu!"

All the generals came forward one after another to advise and ask Qingji to order the attack on the city.

However, Qingji waved his hand and did not give the order to attack!

Why?

Because Qingji was very clear in his heart.

His army stormed the capital city of Wu. Given time, he could indeed take down this fortified city, but he would definitely pay a very heavy price!
Victory!

It's not what Qingji wants to see.

Furthermore, whether it is the Qingji Army or the Helu Army, the troops on both sides are all Wu people!
This is civil war!

One soldier dies, one less!
Qingji didn't want to cause too many murders, killing too much.

This is not to celebrate the benevolence of a woman.

It's that he really doesn't need to storm Wu Capital City!

When the army besieged the city, there must be panic and rumors in the city.

Not to mention the old ministers of King Liao of Wu, even the soldiers and civilians in the city, I'm afraid they don't have much intention of resisting!
Under such circumstances, Qing Ji could consume the morale of the defenders bit by bit, and when the time was right, he would be able to go down in one go.

At this moment, Qingji already regarded himself as King Wu, and the soldiers and civilians in the city as his own soldiers and civilians!

What about fighting a war of attrition if you can't stand a stalemate with the Helu army?
Behind Qingji, stood Wei, Lu, Cai, Chen and other Central Plains states.

What about borrowing food from other countries?
Furthermore, Qingji can also collect money and grain in Wu to help the military.

And the Helu army in the city can only sit and eat!

Comparing the two, Qingji is really not afraid of spending so much time with Helu.

……

Fugai was ordered by Helu to lead a group of soldiers to Jizha's mansion to issue an edict.

This is a secret edict, which can only be read by Ji Zha alone.

However, after seeing this secret edict, Ji Zha's complexion changed drastically, his face twitched, and his pupils lost focus!
"Is this really the king's edict?"

Ji Zha tightly grasped the edict with trembling hands, looking very shocked.

"Uncle, this is indeed the king's edict."

Fuga replied honestly.

Hearing this, Ji Zha's pale face was even reddened by anger, and he blew his beard and stared and scolded: "How could the king write such an edict? The feud between Wu and Chu is incompatible like fire and water!"

"Your Majesty wants me to envoy Chu, bribe the people of Chu, cede cities and lands in order to ask Chu for reinforcements, don't you know how to lure wolves into the house?"

"No matter how bad Qingji is, he is also from Wu, and he is also a descendant of Wu Guogen and Zheng Miaohong!"

"The old man is not afraid of infamy, but how dare he, Ji Guang, be so brazen, ceding the land left by his ancestors and ruining the foundation? How can he bear the name of king!"

"If Ji Guang wants to send someone to Chu, please make another choice. I will never interfere!"

"If you have to force the old man to submit, then ask him to cut off the old man's head and go to Yingdu to meet the people of Chu!"

Ji Zha scolded Helu sternly and ordered Fugai to be kicked out of the house.

In desperation, Fugai had no choice but to return with Helu's secret edict to return!
When He Lu heard about this, he felt very resentful in his heart, and couldn't help cursing: "This old man who relies on the old and sells the old, really doesn't know what to do! The widow let him make Chu, because he thinks highly of him!"

Wu Zixu, who was on the side, didn't expect Jizha's temper to be so strong, and his face was very embarrassing.

"Zixu, right now Jizha doesn't want to envoy Chu, in your opinion, should I appoint someone else as envoy instead?"

"No."

Wu Zixu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, looking at our country of Wu, who is as famous as Jizha? Jizha refuses to submit now, it's just because the king dare not kill him, so he has nothing to fear."

He Lu really didn't dare to do anything to Ji Zha.

After all, Ji Zha is a highly respected magi in Wu country and all the countries in the Central Plains, and his reputation is too great!
Once Helu kills Ji Zha, he will inevitably be accused by thousands of people, reviled by all people, and may even be attacked by other countries.

A well-known sage like Ji Zha, like Kong Zhongni, even if he can't treat each other with courtesy, it's best not to offend him too much!
Helu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Zixu, can you make Ji Zha agree to envoy Chu?"

"I have a strategy, the king may give it a try."

"please say."

Wu Zixu sighed and said: "As a human being, you can't avoid the seven emotions and six desires. Everyone has their own fetters!"

"Although Ji Zha is known by the world as a 'sage' with the legacy of ancient times, I think that Ji Zha is still not exempt!"

"Fetters?"

"That's right. Ji Zha's bond should be the same as that of ordinary people. It's for family love!"

Wu Zixu narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe Jizha is not afraid of death, and he doesn't avoid the axe, but how can he not care about the life and death of his own little one?"

"Zixu, are you asking the widow to capture all of Ji Zha's children and grandchildren in order to coerce Ji Zha into envoy Chu?"

"Exactly."

"..."

Helu couldn't help falling into silence when he heard the words.

Think about it in another way, if someone uses the life and death of his wife, children, and children to force him to serve as an envoy to Chu and betray the country to survive, will the latter agree?
He Lu asked himself, and he agreed.

Gein Helu cherished his life very much, not to mention threatening the lives of his wife and children, even if he put a sword on Helu's neck, he would agree to it!
