Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 8
"Your Majesty, it's Da Sima!"

The soldiers beside Helu pointed to the banner in the direction of the entrance and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

I saw Wu Zixu, who was wearing his helmet and armor, leading hundreds of chariots and thousands of elite soldiers to attack the Qingji army's chariot defense line frantically.

"kill!"

Under Wu Zixu's command, the Helu army's chariots quickly penetrated into the valley entrance, blazing a trail of blood.

The military chariots that had been lying at the mouth of the valley, cutting off the retreat of Helu's army, were all washed away one after another, and all the people turned their backs on their backs and corpses littered the field.

Wu Zixu's purpose is very clear, which is to rescue He Lu!
At this time, it was impossible for the Helu army to try to turn defeat into victory.

Only by rescuing Helu will they have the opportunity to continue mediating with the Qingji army!

"My lord! Withdraw quickly!"

Wu Zixu drove straight in in a military chariot, waving the blood-stained halberd in his hand, killing many enemies.

Hearing Wu Zixu's loud shout, He Lu woke up like a dream, and hurriedly turned his military chariot around to evacuate!

Seeing this, Qingji's face darkened.

How could he just sit back and watch the duck with its full mouth disappear?

"Stop Ji Guang! Stop him at all costs!"

Qing Ji's thinking is similar to that of He Lu.

Both of them knew very well in their hearts that as long as the other party died, they would sit back and relax and become the only Lord of the Wu Kingdom!
"Kill it out!"

Wu Zixu stood on the chariot commanding the battle calmly.

The military chariots of Helu's army then formed a conical formation, firmly protecting Helu's military chariots in the middle, and fought hard to get out.

The soldiers of the Qingji Army who approached tried to block the enemy's offensive, but they couldn't stand it!

The mourners will win!
In the desperate situation, all the soldiers of the Helu Army were brave enough to protect their king with their flesh and blood.

Finally, under the desperate protection of Wu Zixu and other generals, He Lu was able to escape from the mouth of the gourd.

Qingji could only look at Helu's back that was drifting away, feeling extremely regretful in his heart!

Fortunately, the victory achieved by the Qing Ji Army has been remarkable.

After He Lu fled, all the soldiers under his command gave up resistance and surrendered one after another.

In this battle alone, the Qingji army beheaded more than [-] soldiers, and nearly [-] enemy soldiers surrendered!
This allowed Qingji to completely control the initiative in this war.

It is only a matter of time before He Lu dies!
……

Wu Palace.

He Lu, who escaped successfully, sat on the floor in shock and gasped for breath.

What happened not long ago made He Lu feel like a dream!

He couldn't believe that he was actually defeated by Qingji's children, and he was defeated so thoroughly!

This made He Lu unacceptable.

With a look of shame on his face, He Lu looked at Wu Zixu who was sitting across from him with his robes stained with blood, and said, "Zixu, at this moment, what should I do as a widow?"

Not listening to Wu Zixu's advice before, resulting in such a big defeat, made He Lu's mood extremely complicated.

He knew that his talent was not as good as Wu Zixu's, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big!

If He Lu had listened to Wu Zixu's advice, had accepted it as soon as it was good, hadn't rushed after him, and had been ambushed by the Qing Ji army, He Lu would never have ended up in such a mess.

"Your Majesty, Yu Qingji's rebellious army is no match for Master Wang."

Wu Zixu shook his head and sighed, and said, "For the present plan, Your Majesty has only two choices!"

"For one thing, keep the capital of Wu, and at the same time send envoys to Chu for help."

"Secondly, abandon the capital of Wu, lead the old troops southward to seize the lands of Wuyuan, Xing, and Yu'er, form an alliance with Yue, and resist Qingji's soldiers together!"

Two choices, He Lu can only choose one of them.

Abandoning the capital city of Wu is hard for Helu to accept!

Gein, this city is the capital of the state of Wu, with fertile land and a large population. It is not only the political center of the state of Wu, but also the economic center of the state of Wu, and it is also a rare military center!

Abandoning Wudu, for Helu, would not only make him lose the capital to fight Qingji, but also make him lose the legitimacy of Wu Wang's position in terms of jurisprudence.

"Zixu, if a widow guards the capital of Wu and sends envoys to Chu for help, what should I do?"

He Lu asked hesitantly.

Hearing this, Wu Zixu sighed in his heart!

As Helu's minister, Wu Zixu naturally prefers Helu to choose the first strategy.

Guard Wudu and ask for help from Chu!
However, as a mortal with strong obsessions, Wu Zixu instinctively rejected any connection with Chu State and formed an alliance with Chu State.

Why?

Because there is a deep hatred between Wu Zixu and the state of Chu, and the deceased King Ping of Chu.

Wu Zixu is a native of Chu!
When his father Wu She was King Ping of Chu, Prince Jian's Taifu was in charge of teaching Prince Jian.

Back then, King Ping of Chu hired Meng Ying, the eldest sister of Duke Ai of Qin, as his wife for the crown prince, and ordered Fei Wuji to go to Qin to meet his wife.

Fei Wuji finds out that Meng Ying is beautiful, so he persuades King Ping of Chu to marry himself!
King Ping of Chu was lustful, so he let a Qi girl pretend to be Meng Ying, and married Meng Ying as his wife.

As a result, King Ping of Chu favored Fei Wuji very much!
A year later, Meng Ying gave birth to a son, Xiong Zhen (the current king of Chu), and King Ping of Chu occupied his unmarried daughter-in-law, and the scandal began to leak.

However, Fei Wuji was worried that Prince Jian's succession would be detrimental to himself, so he simply falsely accused Prince Jian and Wu She of conspiring to launch a rebellion with Qi and Jin as foreign aid.

King Ping of Chu believed it was true, and sent Sima Fenyang, the father of the city, to kill Prince Jian. The latter fled to the Song Dynasty, but Wu She was implicated, so that the whole family died tragically!

Fortunately, Wu Zixu escaped from Chu State in time, so he saved his own life.

However, Wu Zixu never wanted to avenge the blood feud between himself and Chu State!
As strong and violent as he is, as he endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens, the reason why he seeks refuge under He Lu's command is to make suggestions and think hard.

I just hope that one day, I will be able to send my master to defeat Chu, go straight to Yingdu, and avenge my father and brother!
However, Helu actually chooses to seek help from Chu right now. How can this make Wu Zixu not feel complicated?
In desperation, Wu Zixu could only sigh, and said: "If the king asks for help from the state of Chu, he will be elected to send an eloquent lobbyist to lobby Yingdu. The king of Chu, Xiong Zhen, is still young and can't handle state affairs!"

"Nangwa, Zixi, and Guotao Mengying are all in control of major national affairs."

"Your Majesty wants to lobby Chu State today, and this may be the starting point."

Wu Zixu murmured, "Zixi is a man of benevolence, righteousness and uprightness, so he can be put aside. Nangwa is the Minister of Chu, and he is treacherous and greedy for money. Your Majesty might as well bribe Nangwa with rare treasures from the state treasury!"

"As for Mrs. Meng Ying, I don't know much about it, but I think she is a woman who likes beautiful jade artifacts. Your Majesty might as well give her some treasures and playthings."

"If we can really bribe Nang Wa and Meng Ying, great things can be expected. Then our country of Wu does not need to cede the land of the city, or cede some land of the city in exchange for reinforcements from the state of Chu!"

"color!"

Hearing this, He Lu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Wu Zixu is worthy of being a man with the talents of the world, he can come up with such countermeasures in a short time, and he knows the world's major events like the palm of his hand!
