The trumpet sounded, the two armies separated, each retreated, and the gold was raised to withdraw the troops.
The generals of Wu State all breathed a sigh of relief. The huge pressure that hit their faces made them almost breathless.
"It has become a common practice for Qingji to receive help from other countries!"
Wu Zixu frowned, greatly troubled.
"After this battle, they will no longer tolerate Chu..."
Sun Wu, however, was still unfinished, his eyes flickering: "I hope Qingji will not forget his father's hatred and fight again!"
On the surface, he was invited by Wu Zixu to assist the King of Wu in achieving hegemony, but in fact it was just official talk to build morale.
What Sun Wu values is Wu's warlikeness. He uses this as a stage to conquer all directions and perfect his ideas.
He wants to write a military book.
Military books are different from ordinary articles. Articles can be colorful and praised by everyone, but military books are used for actual combat, and the most important thing is not to talk about military affairs on paper.
How to explain the ever-changing military battles in words so that future generations of generals can gain something and understand them is much more difficult than leading troops to win battles.
Only by enlightening can we preach.
So Sun Wu is looking forward to another confrontation with the four generals of the Sui Dynasty.
He won't be disappointed.
There will be more than four generals coming back next time.
On the other side, after Qing Ji returned to the camp, his eyes were firm and he said to Yang Su: "I am willing to enter your country and serve with all my strength!"
In just eight words, he was no longer the prince of Wu.
If the separation is still a despicable assassination, Wu Zixu's real strength is to invite Sun Wu to take charge of the Wu army.
Although Qing Ji was proud of his bravery, after this battle, he also knew that without the help of the four generals Yang Su, he would be defeated and killed.
So at this moment, Qingji made up his mind.
Serve other countries.
Only in this way can he have a chance for revenge.
"The general is wise!"
Yang Su changed his title, and everyone's expressions became closer: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is traveling around the country, and when he returns to the capital, we will go together to meet him!"
"I wonder where the capital is?"
Anyway, they all joined the gang, and Qingji no longer concealed his curiosity.
He really wanted to know which ambitious and powerful country could send four generals without anyone noticing.
It won’t be Jin, Qi, and Chu, but it should be a top middle-level country...
Yang Su smiled and said: "The current country is not important. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said that in the future, the capital of Jiang State will be in the world!"
"Jiang Guo?"
Qing Ji was stunned.
"Earth-shaking changes are already brewing, and soon we will make the princes and countries tremble!"
He Ruobi patted his shoulder and said with a heroic smile: "Just wait and see!"
…
…
To the south of Ji Mountain is Yingcheng, the capital of Chu.
This is the most majestic city in the world, prosperous and picturesque, with beautiful mountains and rivers. The city wall is thousands of feet high, with countless mysterious fiery red divine patterns engraved on it, forming the Flame God Formation.
There is an endless flow of pedestrians coming and going, and the city gate tax alone is a large amount of revenue every year, and people still flock to it.
This is the atmosphere of a great country.
Thirty miles outside the city, all flying chariots and horses must land to show respect, and Qing Mingzhou also pressed down on the clouds and lowered.
"What is this?"
Before I even got off the boat, there were discussions outside and many eyes came to me.
Those who can be here are all nobles from aristocratic families and have means of transportation. I originally thought that traveling across the sky is majestic enough, but I didn't expect that there are such wonderful things as Qing Mingzhou, which is really eye-opening.
Seeing Gu Cheng and his entourage walking down, many impatient nobles sent their attendants to inquire.
"This is the Green Mingzhou, specially made for our country Jiang..."
Gu Cheng said nothing, Long Kui and Yue Nu stood beside him, and Fan Li and Wen Zhong stepped forward to introduce them.
These two were originally from Chu and knew a lot about the major aristocratic families. Fan Li was a business wizard, and Wen Zhong worked well with him. If these two talented ministers joined forces to sell goods, it would be a success.
The attendant asked to show respect for his status. In fact, everyone listened attentively, and the few words he said made people's hearts itch.
But when asked if he would sell it, Fan Li shook his head.
"Could it be that you are playing tricks on us? It's just a small country like Jiang. How can you be so presumptuous? You can't even think of leaving Chu!"
The children of all the aristocratic families were unhappy, and those with arrogant personalities immediately stepped forward to threaten him.
However, at this moment, a carriage came from the direction of Yingcheng. Gongsun Long came down slowly, and walking with him was an old man with white hair and a hunchback.
When everyone saw it, their colors suddenly changed and they dispersed.
This old man is not a minister of the Chu State, nor is he highly virtuous, but a domestic servant.
Ling Yin Fei Wuji’s confidant and servant!
The families of Wu Zixu and Bo Pi were both deeply rooted in Chu State, so how did they end up being wiped out?
One of them is the leader with high achievements. The Wu family has four generations of powerful ministers, and their military prowess threatens the royal family. The Bo family has a reputation for being a virtuous man. He builds bridges and roads, and provides relief in famine years. He is deeply loved by the people and has a higher prestige than the king of Chu.
But two families cannot be killed for no reason. This is when Fei Wuji's usefulness came out. He was originally the prince's junior master, but he was not liked by the prince. He was afraid that the prince would lose power after he ascended the throne, so he resorted to an extremely despicable method.
In the marriage between Qin and Chu, it was originally the turn of the prince and the princess of Qin, but he exaggerated the beauty of the princess of Qin. The king of Chu was moved. Like Tang Xuanzong and Yang Yuhuan in the future, he forced his daughter-in-law to marry. The prince was naturally dissatisfied and complained a lot.
.
Fei Wuji continued to sow discord between father and son, and eventually accused the prince and the Wu family of plotting to rebel. The King of Chu was furious, and the prince fled to another country, and the entire Wu family was wiped out.
The Wu family is innocent, and everyone in the family knows it, but because of your great achievements, the King of Chu is eager to take back power. This imperial power is not perfect, so he chose the stupidest method, which directly caused turmoil in the government and the public.
Fei Wuji became the winner of the power struggle and ascended to the position of Ling Yin, which would be the position of Lord Chun Shen in the future. With the rising tide of Hakka slaves, all boats were rising, and among the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister, who would dare to offend him?
Before Gu Cheng came to Chu, he had already let Gongsun Long move around. This master of famous eloquence and unparalleled eloquence had become Fei Wuji's guest. The family members dispersed in fear, and everyone got on the carriage.
In fact, the old man's eyes frequently fell on Qing Mingzhou, but he didn't mention it a word, and he didn't mean to look down on Jiang Guo. He introduced the scenery along the way familiarly.
After entering Ying City, we passed through the wide streets bustling with traffic and went through several rounds of exploration before entering the inner city.
This place is filled with rich spiritual energy and the fragrance of birds and flowers. Although it is not as good as the Cave Heaven Blessed Land of Xianwu Dahan due to its crude methods, it is already much better than Jiang Kingdom or even Wu Yue.
"Fire Spirit Pearl?"
Gu Chenggen felt the familiar fluctuations in the air, and smiled as he thought of the Water Spirit Pearl in Gusu, Wu Kingdom.
It seems that the two countries really have an incompatible bond.
However, compared to the Water Spirit Pearl, which has not yet been fully utilized by the Wu State, the Chu State has Zhu Rong as its ancestor, majors in the fire system, and has the Flame God Formation, so its foundation is much stronger.
A majestic mansion can be seen standing in the distance. It is Fei Wuji's mansion. Outside the royal city, where the aura is strongest, the sound of fighting can be heard.
Everyone raised their brows and saw a tall and mighty figure in front of the mansion holding a long sword, flying up and down, and fighting with others.
When the old man saw it, he immediately showed an unhappy look and said something that would make future generations of scholars jump on their feet:
