Competing

Chapter 29 The Premise of Forming an Alliance

Looking at the sword blade around his son's neck, and listening to Yin Xu's polite words, Wu Rui's eyes flashed with worry and doubt, and he said calmly, "Sit down and talk!"

Yin Xu and Wu Rui put the cart before the horse and sat down a few days ago.Pu Jun was guarding behind him with a sword, and Ying Bu was still holding Wu Chen hostage, but he no longer had a sword around his neck.

Wu Rui knew very well that as long as there was a slight change, the blood of his father and son would be splashed in the hall.However, judging from his actions and words, Yin Xu didn't seem to have any malice, so he calmly asked, "What do you call these strong men?"

Yin Xu smiled lightly and said: "Magistrate Wu is being polite, I'm Yin Xu, these two are my brothers, Ying Bu and Pu Jun."

"Yin Xu?"

There was a look of shock on Wu Rui's face, and then he regained his composure.On the contrary, Wu Chen was very excited and said excitedly: "Your honor is Yin Xu and Yin Donglai who robbed the village to burn food and defeated the Qin army?"

Yin Xu said with a smile: "Mr. Wu is absurdly praised, but it is a small skill. If your lord is not accommodating, although the world is big, I am afraid that there will be no room for Yin Xu."

"Hehe, Mr. Yin Zhuang is being polite!" Wu Rui said calmly, "What's the point of visiting the humble house late at night?"

"Excuse me, Yin has nothing else to do and wants to discuss the general situation of the world with Mr. Wu."

Yin Xu's words made Wu Rui a little helpless, forced a smile and said: "I don't know what advice Yin Zhuang has to offer?"

"Don't dare to be taught!" Yin Xu clasped his fists and said: "I have some humble opinions and hope that Master Wu will give you some advice. Yingzheng destroys the six kingdoms to rule the world, claims to be the first emperor, and wants his descendants to rule the world forever, what does Master Wu think? "

Wu Rui shook his head: "I'm an official, so it's inconvenient to talk about government affairs, but it's not a bad idea to listen to strong man Yin's opinion."

"I think Qin Bi II will die!" Yin Xu's words were resounding, hitting everyone's heart.

Before Wu Rui could open his mouth, Wu Chen shouted: "Dare to ask why strong man Yin is so sure, what evidence do you have?"

Yin Xu said with a smile: "Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, imposed tyranny and harsh laws on the people of the world. The people's life was miserable and resentment has been in their hearts for a long time. Before Yingzheng was in power, the power of the world was so intimidating that no one dared to act rashly. But now?"

As if asking, as if talking to himself, Yin Xu paused for a moment, and continued: "Master Fusu is kind and wise. If he ascends the throne and administers a benevolent government to appease the people of the world, there may be a smooth transition. However, Hu Hai pretended to usurp the throne, mutilate his brothers and feet, and appoint Zhao Gao this man. Waiting for the treacherous and villainous people to act perversely, making the world a mess. The people are in dire straits, and there are not a few people who have the heart to destroy Qin."

"Without the power of the First Emperor, and without the benevolence and love of Fusu, Qin Ting's rule is already in jeopardy. It has only been a few decades since Qin wiped out the six kingdoms. Stand up and raise your arms and shout, the heroes of the world will surely respond, and overthrow the Tyrant Qin with the momentum of the wind and clouds."

The words made sense and made sense, Wu Chen nodded frequently, and Ying Bu secretly admired him.Wu Rui smiled faintly: "Wu admires strong man Yin's eloquence, but the great Qin army has many generals and is still powerful. I'm afraid it will be hard to beat!"

Yin Xu said with a smile: "It is true that the army of the Qin State was strong and powerful, and that there were many famous generals. Unfortunately, it has become a thing of the past. Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son died, and Meng Tian, ​​​​who can be a pillar country, was also killed by Zhao Gao. The Qin family today is remarkable. There are no more generals than Zhang Han, Li You, and Wang Li."

"Li Si was cut in half in Xianyang. Although Li You didn't see any changes, there was always a gap in his heart. Even if he was loyal to Qin, could Zhao Gao be at ease with him? As for Wang Li, let's not say whether he has the demeanor of his grandfather. Soldiers in the northern border are restrained by the Xiongnu, and the distant waters cannot quench their thirst. Although Zhang Han has talent, he cannot do it alone, not to mention Zhao Gao restrains him inside!"

Wu Rui still maintained that smile, and said: "Yin Zhuangshi is far-sighted, and Qin's army is not worth mentioning! But, according to your Excellency, someone should have climbed up and shouted, why hasn't there been any movement yet? "

"There's been movement, but Master Wu hasn't heard it yet!" Yin Xu clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "The Central Plains is already in chaos. It is said that a group of civilians who encountered heavy rain on their way to guard the border will be executed if they miss the deadline. Yes, those peasants were forced to rise up, and Shandong heroes responded countless times. It’s just that Panyi is located in the south and has not received any news. If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to verify it.”

What Yin Xu said had a nose and eyes, Wu Rui's heart sank and he was very surprised.

Wu Chen widened his eyes and asked, "Is what Yin Zhuangshi said true?"

"That's right!" Yin Xu nodded, then turned to Wu Rui and said, "It will be a matter of time before the fall of the Qin Kingdom. Isn't Mr. Wu planning for the future of Panyi?"

Wu Rui sighed, and said, "Plan? What are you planning? How are you planning?"

Yin Xu said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wu has always had great ambitions. Under your governance, this town is peaceful. Back then, Qin Ting canonized you as Fan Lord, and Pan Yi was governed by you alone, but now? First, a group of officials were sent , seems to be suspicious of Mr., taxes and corvees are becoming more and more onerous, not long ago, the Qin army violated the border without hesitation. Mr. Wu, is this not what you want?"

Seeing that Wu Rui couldn't deny it, Yin Xu continued: "Fanyi is the hometown of Chu, and there are many people who cherish the old Chu. At that time, Nangong said: Although Chu has three families, it will be Chu when Qin dies. Why don't Mr. Wu take advantage of the situation and rise up?"

Wu Chen on the side said: "That's what you said, but if what you said is not true, wouldn't it be dangerous for my father to raise his troops easily? You must know that there are still thirty thousand Qin troops north of Fanyi."

Yin Xu said: "Presumably this is also Mr. Wu's worry? Is what Yin said true? Mr. Wu can send someone to verify it first, and then make a decision. As for the 3 Qin army, the general who was defeated by An Tong, How dare you speak bravely? Zhou Kang’s [-] troops came from Kuaiji, if the news spreads, there will be no peace there, so can he still have the intention to suppress the bandits in Pengze?”

Thinking of Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew raising troops against Jiangdong Kuaiji, Yin Xu dared to be so sure.

Wu Rui, who was silent for a long time, finally spoke up: "What Yin Zhuangshi said is nothing more than wanting Fanyi to raise troops against Qin, but what if Wu is unwilling?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to choose, Mr. Wu, please read this." Yin Xu took out a silk book from his bosom and handed it over.

Wu Rui was shocked when she took it, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead in an instant.Yin Xu bowed and said: "Speaking of which, I have troubled Mr. Wu, I am very sorry! Fortunately, Chen Kui's messenger was intercepted by my subordinates, which caused a catastrophe for the time being, but the messenger did not return in time, he must have doubts , it is unknown if there will be other means. Mr. Wu, please make a decision early, and there will be many dreams in a second."

Yin Xu waited quietly, at this moment Wu Rui had no choice.If you want to keep the bandits secret, you can only kill Chen Kui and others.But the sudden death of a county lieutenant sent by the imperial court will also leak the news.The only and best choice is to raise troops against Qin, not to mention that Wu Rui is not without this intention.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid it's already bad, Zhuo Jing and the little girl are still in Chen Kui's residence."

"what?"

Wu Chenye had already read the letter, and when he heard his father's words, he exclaimed, "Didn't mother and sister come back with you?"

Wu Rui said in a deep voice: "It's just that your mother and sister have gone, and being a father is just a little boring, so go out for a walk."

Yin Xu was also shocked. Seeing Wu Rui came back, he thought it was all right, and never thought that such an incident would happen again.Zhang Gongcao, who delivered the letter, has not returned, so Chen Kui must be vigilant, and the invitation to the banquet is mostly just a temptation.But it happened that before Wu Rui arrived, it was hard to say what Chen Kui would think, but it was an indisputable fact that Mrs. Wu and Miss were in danger.

Both Wu Rui and his son were worried, thinking about how to keep their wives and daughters safe.

"Mr. Wu, if you don't give up, my brother is willing to try his best to rescue his wife and miss as an apology. As for the rest, we will discuss it later." Yin Xu is very clear, can the mother and daughter of the Wu family be rescued safely?It is already a prerequisite for forming an alliance with Wu Rui.
