Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 416 This person has the heart of a tiger and a wolf

Yingdu, Chu Palace.

"Your Majesty, disaster, disaster!"

Zixi entered Zhangtai together with Shen Baoxu and Nangwa, and spoke anxiously to the king of Chu, Xiong Zhen.

At this time, Xiong Zhen was dealing with daily government affairs, and seeing Zixi and the other three all looked worried, he felt very bad.

After all, not to mention Nangwa, Zixi and Shen Baoxu are extremely mature and stable people on weekdays, and they are not chaotic in times of crisis, how could they be so flustered like they are now?

"My lord, the latest battle report came from Xinzheng. The Jin army, led by Shi Yang, has rushed to Xinzheng to support. Zuo Sima and Shen Zhuliang had to retreat and set up camp to confront the Jin army and Zheng army."

"However, this is not the worst."

Zixi said with a painful expression on his face, "Shen Zhuliang was attacked by a group of thugs when he was out on patrol. He was seriously injured and passed out. If his personal guards hadn't rescued him in time, Shen Zhuliang might have died... "

"what?"

Xiong Zhen suddenly changed color.

There is no doubt about Shen Zhuliang's status in Chu State.

His father, Shen Yinshu, was an official in Zuo Sima, with a high position and authority, and a very high status in the army.

Shen Zhuliang also inherited his father's ability to lead the army and the official position of Zuo Sima, which was even more outstanding.

This point can be seen from the fact that Shen Zhuliang was able to lead the declining Chu army to turn defeat into victory and smash the eighteen-nation coalition led by the Jin people on the front line of Fangcheng.

Therefore, in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of Chu State, Shen Zhuliang is the giant pillar of Chu State, a famous general of a generation.

In such a huge state of Chu, no one can keep pace with Shen Zhuliang in terms of military affairs.

For the Jin army to send troops to aid Zheng, including Xiong Zhen, Zixi, Shen Baoxu and others have already anticipated and have countermeasures.

However, Shen Zhuliang would be assassinated, so that he almost died at the hands of the assassin, which was never expected by the king and minister of Chu State.

"Who is so daring to assassinate Zuo Sima of our state of Chu? Could it be someone from Jin or Zheng?"

Chu Wang Xiong Zhen shouted with an angry look on his face.

"It's not from Zheng, it's from Jin."

Zixi sighed and said, "It is said that the assassin pretended to be a soldier of our Chu army and got in among them, and that's how he succeeded in the assassination."

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible. Now that Jin's reinforcements have arrived, the Jin-Zheng coalition forces are invincible to our Chu army."

"It's a pity that Shen Zhuliang is now seriously injured and bedridden. I'm afraid he can't bear the responsibility."

"If the news leaks out, the enemy army will definitely take the opportunity to attack. I am afraid that the city and land that our soldiers of the Chu army captured before will be lost again!"

That's the seriousness of the matter.

After Chu King Xiong Zhen realized this, he immediately said: "The war against Zheng must be ended as soon as possible. The widow's order is passed on, so that Mi Sheng will temporarily act as the chief general and mediate with the enemy."

"Doctor Shen."

"Chen is here!"

Shen Baoxu stood up immediately.

"You set off for Xinzheng immediately, and force the people of Zheng to conclude an alliance under the city, acknowledging that the land in the city captured by our Chu army belongs to Chu State."

"This……"

Shen Baoxu said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, the people of Zheng were stubbornly resisting in Xinzheng City because they were unwilling to let the mountains and rivers break. Ceded to our Chu State."

"Then, I, Da Chu, can only settle for the next best thing..."

King Xiong Zhen of Chu took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "According to the original plan, the Chu army on the front line was ordered to retreat first, stationed in the Changge and Wan areas, build fortifications, strengthen the city defenses, and mediate with the invading enemy to the end. .”

"The people of Jin only want to save Zheng from the danger of subjugation, and they are not obliged to help him recover the lost land. I believe that with Shi Yang's temperament, it is absolutely impossible to do thankless things!"

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

……

the same moment.

Jinling, Wu Palace.

Qingji is sitting on the fishing platform in the imperial garden, fishing with great interest.

With nothing to do, Qingji can only pass the time by fishing, Cuju, hunting, playing chess and so on.

After all, there were not many recreational activities in the Spring and Autumn Period.

At this time, Queen Ji Pai was also standing beside Qingji, doing embroidery on her own, not forgetting to gossip with Qingji.

Steal the floating life for half a day.

"Your Majesty, Wei Wei Wu Zixu is asking to see you."

At this moment, a servant came to Diaoyutai to report.

"Xuan."

"only!"

After a long time, Wu Zixu came to Qingji's front step by step under the guidance of the servant.

As soon as he saw Qing Ji and Ji Kou, Wu Zixu quickly bowed his head and said, "Minister Wu Yuan, see the King, see the Queen!"

"Zixu, you don't need to be polite. Please sit down."

"Thank you, King."

Wu Zixu sat on a side futon with half of his body down, took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve with a low eyebrow, and said slowly, "My lord, this is information from Xinzheng."

"Shen Zhuliang, the left Sima of Chu State, went out to inspect and was assassinated!"

"Oh?"

Qingji was stunned for a moment, and instead of opening the bamboo slips immediately, he squinted his eyes and asked, "Mi Sheng did it?"

"Your Majesty has a great plan."

Wu Zixu praised.

"Hehe, this Mi Sheng is really an ambitious man who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal."

Qing Ji smiled slightly, and immediately opened the bamboo slips. Looking at the description above, he couldn't help saying with emotion, "Shen Zhuliang is still destined to die, and his life should not be terminated."

From Qingji's tone, Wu Zixu couldn't tell whether Qingji was regretting or dissatisfied.

It is worth mentioning that the largest intelligence agency in the state of Wu, the "Black Ice Platform", is mainly responsible for the CRRC government's orders at this time, and Wei Wei Wu Zixu is in charge, and actually controls the secret operations of the Black Ice Platform in various countries.

As we all know, Black Ice Terrace is an intelligence agency built by Qingji at the beginning of his ascension to the throne. In the north and south of the country, all the vassal states in the world have a relatively complete intelligence network, and they are directly responsible to Qingji alone.

Since Qingji has been very concerned about the war in Xinzheng recently, every move that happened there will be specially reported to Jinling.

"Zixu, I thought that I had overestimated Mi Sheng before, but I didn't expect to underestimate him."

Qing Ji murmured, and said, "This man has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and he must not be controlled by others. If he succeeds in ascending to the throne of King Chu, even if the Chu State is divided into half, he will be the enemy of our Wu State... ..."

Qing Ji thinks highly of Bai Gong Sheng.

After all, Bai Gongsheng is indeed ambitious and talented.

For Chu State, Qing Ji would rather choose the young King of Chu Xiong Zhen as his opponent than Bai Gongsheng, who is extremely rich in the city and does not consider the consequences.

Because, Bai Gongsheng is a person who can fight Wu Guo desperately!

The most important thing is that a person with Bai Gongsheng's personality will obviously not be willing to be driven by Wu Guo to become Qingji's puppet.

"The king's intention is..."

Wu Zixu made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Qing Ji shook his head and said, "It's like an assassination, such an unscrupulous conspiracy, not to mention whether it will be successful, at least the widow still needs a living Mi Sheng."
