...

In mid-June, standing on Wucheng and looking at the Yue army camping outside the moat, the prince of Wu, muttered to himself: "I have said a long time ago that we should not send troops rashly. If we are defeated, the Yue people will be without any scruples, but no one will listen to my son's words..."

Prince Ji Zha knew that it was impossible to change King Helu of Wu and Fuchai, so he focused on Fuchai's prince friend and personally taught him. Influenced by Ji Zha, the prince friend did not have a tattoo like his grandfather and father, but instead combed his hair in the style of the Central Plains, wore his clothes, and recited poetry.

This lifestyle is incompatible with most people in the Wu Kingdom. However, although Fuchai claims to be "I am a barbarian, and my courtesy is not worthy of responsibility", he actually strives to dominate the Central Plains, and wants the future of Wu Kingdom to develop to the north and integrate into the summer. Therefore, he also let his son go to the whole country of clothing. The only thing Fuchai doesn't like is that the prince's friend is kind and kind, does not like killing and war, and does not fight for the world. His ambition to compete for the Central Plains is a world of difference from his own personality.

What's more serious is that the gentleness of the prince's friend was unrecognizable to the generals of the Wu Kingdom. This also led to the fact that when Fu Chai went to war, he ordered the prince to supervise the country, but he had little say in the court.

In late May, the Yue Kingdom suddenly announced a rebellion and began to send troops to counterattack various places and expel officials of the Wu Kingdom. For a time, all the Yue people in the Wu Kingdom resisted, and the south of Zhejiang no longer belonged to the Wu Kingdom.

The capital of Wu State was helpless because Fuchai took away the main force of the Wu army and the partial army was placed in Huainan to defend the Chu people, and he would not be able to be transferred back for a while. He only left less than 10,000 people in the country because of Fuchai's contempt for Yue State and his inexplicable trust. Now that the incident happened suddenly, there was no old minister like Wu Zixu to take charge of the overall situation, Wu State suddenly fell into chaos.

After regaining his hometown south of Zhejiang, Goujian immediately sent Fan Li, Xiaoyong to lead two thousand naval troops and dozens of ships, entering the coast of Wu by sea, landed from the east, and fought to the mouth of Sanjiang. However, without any hesitation, Gouyang advanced by land, led 3,000 vanguards, and took advantage of the emptiness of the Wu Kingdom, and defeated several Wu troops in succession. His momentum was unstoppable and he quickly reached the suburbs of the capital of Wu...

Prince You and the left-behind Prince Land, Wang Sun Miyong, Shou Yuyao and others looked at the Yue people array in Hongshui, the moat outside Wucheng. When Wang Sun Miyong saw the Yue people holding the Gumi flag, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. His father was the prince of Wu. He was ordered to station in Gumi in the western border of Yue Kingdom to monitor Yue people. This time, Yue people suddenly rebelled and seized his flag. It seems that he had been killed.

So Wang Sun Miyong decided to go to war and said, "This is the banner of my father. I cannot see enemies and not kill them!"

The prince's friend hurriedly advised him: "Wait! The king Kong Kingdom went north, and the people of Yue took advantage of the situation to rebel. Now the three rivers and five lakes are no longer owned by Wu, but as long as the city is held and the city of Wu is not lost, the people of Yue will not be able to become a climate. Now the prince wants to fight but fails to fight, and the soldiers in the country are empty, and the Wu Kingdom will be destroyed! Please wait for the reinforcements in Huainan to arrive before going to fight!"

Wang Sun Miyong, who was in charge of military affairs in the city, refused to agree because the prince friend was gentle and dressed "not like the Wu people". The Wu generals who advocated war always looked down on him and did not obey his orders. They gathered the only five thousand people left in the city to fight. Prince Land, Shou Yu Yao also left the city together. The prince friend could not stop him and could only watch them leave.

On June 10, the Wu and Yue armies fought in the suburbs. Because they had no limits and had fewer troops in Youyang, they began to retreat after fighting for a while. The Wu people were overjoyed and chased them all the way. However, when they chased to Sanjiangkou, they encountered the main force of King Goujian, who was ambushed in the reed marsh. It turned out that this was a fraudulent defeat...

On the 11th, the two sides fought again at Shixiongyi. Although the five thousand Wu people fought hard for a long time, they were attacked by the Yue State's water and land army. The Yue people shared the same hatred of the enemy, and there was a newly issued "twelve-class title" and was extremely brave in fighting. After a day of fighting, the winner was finally decided. Wang Sun Miyong and Shou Yuyao were captured, Prince Di died in battle, and the entire Wu army was wiped out!

On the 12th, the Vietnamese army, which had won a great victory, approached the suburbs of Wudu again. Gou Jian's main commander set up camp under the city and tried to attack the city. Fan Li continued to lead the navy from the sea to the north and enter the river, blocking the connection between the Wu and the northern expedition army, and preventing the Huainan Wu army from moving south smoothly. Moreover, they did not dare to go south. The Huainan Wu army soon discovered that the Chu people had also launched an attack on Qunshu, and the commander was Sun Sheng, the upstart prince of Chu who was named "Bai Gong"...

The prince's friend's urgent letter was sent to Huainan before the Yue State Zhouzhi blocked the river. He hurriedly sent it to Huainan, and then traveled hundreds of miles, and finally delivered it to Fuchai...

...

Seeing Wu Zixu being separated and even his own son, the prince friend, became a reality. Fuchai was severely injured. After slashing the case with a sword, he said in annoyance: "I regret not not listening to my son's words!"

During the period after Wu Zixu was killed, no one in Wu dared to advise Fuchai, but the young prince friend used another method to remind his father.

He was walking around under the stage of Gusu with a slingshot every day, and his clothes were wet by the dew. Finally, the prince's strange behavior attracted Fuchai's attention. When Fuchai asked him when he was doing this, the prince's friend replied: "Father, please see, there is a cicada on the tree, drinking dew, but he didn't know that there was a mantis behind him trying to catch it, but the mantis was trying to pounce, but he didn't know that there was an oriole leaping beside him! The oriole stretched out his neck to peck at the mantis, but he didn't know that the boy had already opened his slingshot under the tree and wanted to shoot it! All three of them only wanted to get immediate benefits, but ignored future troubles! The foolishness in the world is this!"

After hearing this, the King of Wu looked unhappy. He knew that his son was comparing Qi to a cicada, Zhao to a mantis, Wu to an oriole, Chu and Yue to a boy holding a slingshot under a tree, and was using different ways to remind him to pay attention to the disaster and killing opportunities lurking behind him!

At that time, he only felt that this was Wu Zixu's "legacy". He shook his sleeves and said contemptuously: "What do you know about Ruzi's words, military and national affairs!?"

But now, Fuchai found that he had become the "best fool in the world" who only looked at the present without regard for future troubles.

He laughed at himself: "I have all the soldiers in the territory, and they have exhausted the wealth of the treasury. They have gone north to the Central Plains. They only know how to cross the territory and conquer, but they don't know that Goujian chose the dead soldiers to go out of the Three Rivers, enter the Five Lakes, slaughter my Wu Army, and surround my capital!"

After Fuchai finished speaking, he grabbed Bo Jing who was lying on the ground and apologized, and angrily scolded: "Didn't you say that Gou Jian is loyal and will never rebel? So what now?"

"It's you, you framed Zixu and asked me to kill him. Today I would rather kill you, a slanderous minister, who is in trouble with the country!"

Bo Yu was trembling and speechless. Fuchai was so angry that he wanted to raise his sword to kill him to vent his anger, but Wang Sun Luo stopped Fuchai.

"You must not! Killing Zixu is a mistake. Today, I will kill Taizai, which is the pillar of another country!"

The king's grandson Luo knew very well that although Bo Jing was greedy and treacherous, his ability to govern was not bad. After Wu Zixu's death, Bo Jing's government affairs were basically the only one who was responsible for the government and his power was already very large and mixed in the court and the country. Not to mention anything else, just say that in this war, Bo Jing's confidants were responsible for the transfer of food from Dajiang to Xu. If Fuchai killed him today in order to vent his anger, then Bo Jing's confidants might rebel or escape, and in that case, the rear of the Wu people would be in chaos.

Fuchai also knew that killing Bo Zhu now would be useless, so he stopped and kicked him in disgust and told him to get out. He then kept pace in the hall and said to Wang Sun Luo: "After the defeat of Si, and the people of Yue and Chu attacked Wu, the capital was in danger. The prince was in a hurry. What should we do now?"

Wang Sunluo put his finger on the suggestion: "The most urgent task is to block the news. Domestic affairs must not be known to the three armies, and even if Song Gong, Huang Yuan and others in Pengcheng know, otherwise the morale of the army will be unstable and there will be changes!"

Fuchai nodded slightly and asked someone to entertain the seven Wu messengers who came to report the message. After they were drunk, they made up their minds to kill them all!

Poor these Wu people were worried about their worries, but were killed.

After doing this, Fuchai had no intention of trying to fight Zhao Wuxiu in decisive battle. The country was in a mess. If the army was destroyed, the Wu Kingdom would be destroyed even if it didn't want to die. The king's grandson Luo took the iron and said, "Why might as well send envoys to Zhao camp to see if he could negotiate with Zhao Hou and turn war into jade and silk?"
