On the ship, Sun Wu spoke gently and held the King of Chu's shoulders.
"Don't dare, don't dare, Chu Zi respects Qi, let me go..."
The King of Chu didn't kneel down, but he couldn't stand still. His lips were trembling, and he said that he was Chu Zi, and his words were incoherent.
Similar to the situation of the Qin State at the beginning, the first monarch of the Chu State was only a viscount when he was granted the title. He was completely different from the dukes of other princes and countries. The so-called territory was an unexplored wilderness and swamp, full of savages who were unwilling to be tamed.
The territory that the monsters really control is just a small area, not much bigger than the Jiang Kingdom.
Therefore, the state of Chu was extremely poor and had no status at that time. Whenever the princes paid homage to the Emperor of Zhou, the king of Chu could only run errands outside the banquet and tend the fire, just like a humble servant.
But it was such a small country and a few monarchs who continued to expand its territory and became a superpower that dominated the world. He was able to challenge the Emperor of Zhou for the throne, and even proclaimed himself King of Chu.
In this situation, I will definitely not call him the king, but still call him Chuzi.
It was a helpless scorn, but now that the King of Chu has devalued himself, he has really brought shame on his ancestors.
Sun Wu shook his head secretly, but a spring-like smile appeared on his face. He invited King Chu into the cabin and sat on the main seat as before.
"General Sun?"
King Chu was a little flattered.
Even if he was one of the three most powerful kings in the world, once he is captured by the enemy, he will be nothing.
In fact, the higher the position and the more powerful the person, the worse the treatment. Who can resist the temptation of insulting the king of a country?
"The King of Chu has misunderstood. This time we came here to complain about the injustice of Wu Yuan Bo and to chase away the evildoers who sided with the king!"
Sun Wu clapped his hands, and his bodyguards brought Fei Wuji up. He pointed at the Chu State Ling Yin and said: "This man is clever in his words, flatters his master, steals the country's power, and poisons the people. Please punish him, Chu King."
Wu and Wu can form an alliance and become neighbors!"
King Chu was stunned.
Fei Wuji's energy and blood were sealed, and he couldn't say a word. He just kept turning his eyes towards the King of Chu.
He is not asking for life.
After being caught by Wu Jun, Fei Wuji also knew that he would definitely die.
But you must never agree!
How could Wu form an alliance with Chu when the war reached this point? It was clearly because he was weak and wanted to find another way without losing any blood!
If the Wu army of more than 200,000 were dispersed to Chu State, which has a vast territory and abundant resources, they would not be able to make waves.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, Wu could only plunder wealth and return to Wu with the reputation of destroying the capital of Chu.
But what if the King of Chu surrendered the Kingdom of Chu himself?
He was turned into a puppet, and the Wu army used royal power and righteousness to suppress all those who resisted, thereby occupying the Chu Kingdom!
"This is absolutely impossible!"
The King of Chu was not stupid, and he quickly realized what he said. He was about to blurt out a sentence, but looked at the eyes of those iron-blooded soldiers looking at him, and swallowed it again.
Sun Wu sipped tea and waited calmly, without any rush.
Wu Zixu only wanted revenge. Sun Wu could not stop him, but he would not bury the carefully trained Wu army with him.
He wants to realize his greatest ambition at the smallest cost and create a miracle that will be famous throughout the ages!
Now before the King of Chu, there are two irreversible roads.
Or die yourself!
Or he can still be the king of Chu, but he becomes a puppet and lives on!
My own life and the continuation of Chu State...
Which one to choose?
The King of Chu fell into a long silence, his face uncertain.
"General, Wu Xiangguo sent an envoy to take away the King of Chu!"
Sun Wu would not give him too much time to think about it. With a slight movement of his fingers, a bodyguard came in and loudly reported.
"Don't! Don't hand me over to the soldiers!"
As soon as he heard that Wu Zixu was coming to pick him up, the King of Chu stood up suddenly, and then collapsed softly like a deflated ball: "Make an alliance! Make an alliance!"
…
…
"The Wu people can't fight in. They surrounded but didn't attack. It's just a bluff!"
At the top of the capital city, Xiang Ying personally patrolled to ensure that the defense line was flawless and constantly boosted morale.
As time went by, his confidence became stronger and stronger.
Not to mention that Wu Zixu and Bo Pi wanted to avenge their bloody feud. They finally marched straight in and came to the city. After a little repair, why not attack the city immediately?
Doesn't this give Chu State a chance to breathe in vain and create unforeseen complications?
Therefore, this exposed Wu Jun's lack of confidence.
They simply don't have the strength to break through the Flame God's formation and attack the city.
However, soon, another small group of Wu troops arrived from the distance. There was a commotion within the Wu troops, faint cheers could be heard, and the morale was instantly boosted.
"Be careful!"
Xiang Ying did not dare to neglect and shouted in a deep voice. Then he saw a group of people filing out, and three extremely familiar figures appeared in the middle.
King of Chu! Prince! Your Majesty!
Xiang Ying subconsciously rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.
It’s still the King of Chu, the Crown Prince and Ling Yin!
The three people who stand at the top of the Chu Kingdom!
"Xiang Aiqing, I have formed an alliance with the State of Wu. Please open the city gate!"
The prince and Fei Wuji had long been controlled and could not even speak a word. Only the King of Chu spoke loudly.
There was silence on the city wall at first, then a commotion, and finally it was unstoppable.
The soldiers at the bottom were at a loss, the generals at the middle level were in disbelief, and Xiang Ying at the top seemed to have his energy and spirit suddenly withdrawn, and his whole person collapsed.
Their king, the king of Chu, was captured by the enemy?
Wu Jun’s trump card turns out to be here!
What is the royal capital?
It is the capital city where the king lives!
Now the king is gone!
Wu Jun just wanted to show King Chu's subjects that they had no need to continue to protect him?
"No! You can't open the city gate!"
But the next moment, Xiang Ying woke up from a dream and roared loudly.
No matter what, Wu Jun cannot be allowed in.
If the prince of Chu is gone, he can be re-elected from the royal family, and if the royal capital is occupied again, the state of Chu is really in danger of extinction!
"Xiang Aiqing, please don't misunderstand me. I formed an alliance with the State of Wu to get rid of the traitorous ministers!"
The King of Chu had already expected this and said loudly: "Fei Wuji used to deceive me and harmed the whole family of the Wu family. Now he threatens me and escapes from the battle. His crime is unpardonable!"
He put all the blame on Fei Wuji and said softly to Wu Zixu: "My dear, your family's revenge can finally be avenged!"
Whoosh!
Everyone in the Wu army looked at Wu Zixu, and even Bo Pi looked nervous.
The whole Wu family was wiped out. It seemed that Fei Wuji was bewitching the king and slandering the prince. In fact, everyone knew that the real root cause was the King of Chu's fear of the Wu family.
Now that the culprit is right in front of him, can Wu Zixu, who has suffered countless days and nights, suppress his hatred and just kill the scapegoat?
Wu Zixu moved.
His white hair was flying, and he stretched out his hand and said: "Get the knife!"
Sun Wu personally put a Wu hook into his hand.
Wu Zixu swung at Fei Wuji, but instead of stabbing him directly, he cut off a piece of flesh on his shoulder.
Blood splattered everywhere!
Knife after knife, Lingchi will be executed!
Soon, Fei Wuji's sealed Qi and blood were broken open, he let out an earth-shattering scream, and blood oozed from his eyes.
But throughout the whole process, he was not looking at Wu Zixu, but at the King of Chu.
Keep an eye on it!
I will wait for you in the underworld!
Waiting for the news of Chu’s demise!
"No! No!"
On the city wall, the commotion became even worse, and Xiang Ying's face changed drastically.
Fei Wuji brought trouble to the imperial court. It would be no pity for this treacherous official to die, but not now, and not in this form!
A dignified minister of the country, with a higher rank than the prime minister, was executed in such a cruel way in front of the army. It was a devastating blow to the morale of the Chu army.
I can't watch any more!
However, he could no longer control the situation.
Countless soldiers cast their sights towards the city and stared intently.
Since Fei Wuji got rid of the two great aristocratic families and ascended to the position of Ling Yin, he deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates, and gathered many traitors under his command, which aroused much public indignation.
In the past, when he was favored by the King of Chu, everyone dared to be angry but dared not speak out. But now, isn't it the time to express gratitude and enmity?
At this moment, some Chu people even felt grateful.
Good kill!
Good kill!
"General Xiang, please open the city gate. We are all Chu people. We guarantee that Qiu will not commit any crimes and will not touch the people even a cent!"
When Fei Wuji's screams subsided and he finally breathed his last, Bo Pu took the opportunity to shout loudly.
Compared with the Wu family, the Bo family really does good deeds and accumulates virtues, and is what the people want.
Under Fei Wuji's management, the lower-level soldiers thought more about the good things of the uncle's family, and those people immediately looked at Xiang Ying eagerly.
Xiang Ying knew that the royal city could no longer be defended.
Not to mention the royal city, the entire King of Chu was pushed to the brink of destruction!
"Wu Thief, you have won, but I, the Great Chu, will never die!"
But at this most important moment, Xiang Ying's eyes showed determination, and a red light suddenly shone in the palm of his hand.
In the main hall of the royal city, at the core of the Flame God Formation, the brilliance of the Fire Spirit Pearl suddenly became extremely dazzling.
