The toad was caught off guard and suddenly withdrew its head. The arrow shot a bloody hole in its head, and it screamed in pain.
"Ai Qing, stop it!"
Wu Zixu struck so hard and quickly that Helu had no time to stop him. The toad spirit was already injured. What made him even more distraught was that Sun Wu unsheathed his sword and stabbed him too.
Zheng!
The two swords crossed each other, and it was Gou Jian who struck at the same time.
He blocked Sun Wu's attack with a sword and said loudly: "You two, don't be panic, this demon clan is our ally!"
Sun Wu turned a deaf ear, his sword was powerful and murderous. Helu's lips trembled, and when he was about to speak again, Wu Zixu simply interrupted: "Your Majesty is fascinated by a monster, we will definitely rescue you!"
What kind of people are Sun Wu and Wu Zixu? When they saw Gou Jian, who had disappeared after the fall of the country, suddenly appeared, and he brought a monster with him. There was no fear on Helu's face. He immediately knew that this King of Wu was probably going to form an alliance with the monster clan.
.
So they killed him directly, not wanting Helu to tell him.
Because once the words are spoken, there is no room for change on either side.
It's a pity that Gou Jian saw this and exposed it directly. Helu also made up his mind and suddenly took out the tiger charm from his arms and raised it high: "Stop it!"
Whoosh!
Sun Wu and Wu Zixu withdrew their swords and looked at Helu, with deep disappointment on their brows.
Helu couldn't stand the dazzling gaze, so he avoided it slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Sun Aiqing, the food and grass in Shouchun are about to be exhausted, and we are surrounded by all directions. We are isolated and helpless in Chu State. Is there any solution?"
Sun Wu shook his head slightly: "No."
He then looked at Wu Zixu: "The Wu army is pressing down on the territory. If it breaks into the Chu territory, Qing Ji will directly attack Shouchun to avenge his father's murder. Wu Aiqing, do you have any good strategies?"
Wu Zixu snorted coldly.
Helu spread his hands and said: "In that case, what's wrong with the demon tribe's willingness to help us? Thousands of years ago, this was their home. Later, the Chu people drove it out. Now it's only natural that they want to take it back!"
"Pooh!"
Wu Zixu's reaction was the most direct, and he turned around and left. Sun Wu sighed and bowed: "Humanity fights and does not involve aliens. Your Majesty, you will regret it in the end. Say goodbye!"
"you!"
Helu never expected that these two people would be so decisive and break up without even a hint of persuasion.
"Those who achieve great things don't plan for the public, so King Wu just lets them go?"
When Gou Jian saw it, his eyes flickered and he whispered.
"It doesn't matter to a few people that everyone betrays family and friends, as long as the hegemony is successful!"
Helu was furious, pointed at Gou Jian's nose and scolded: "But if I fail, the first person to be killed will be you!"
"King Wu misunderstood!"
Gou Jian's face remained as usual with a humble smile: "I really think about the King of Wu. Sun Wu's soldiers are all important ministers and have control over the army. If they want to take away 100,000 soldiers, what should they do?"
"The tiger talisman is in the hands of the few, and they cannot mobilize it. If the few want to do harm to them, they will force the soldiers to make a choice!"
Helu said coldly.
The Wu troops under his command were all trained by Sun Wu. In the hearts of ordinary soldiers, Sun Wu and even Wu Zixu were much more important than him, the King of Wu.
However, Sun Wu's military training focused on military law. Military orders were like mountains. Without the deployment of tiger talismans, no one, including Sun Wu, could command the army at will. It was precisely because Helu realized this that he was willing to let Sun Wu leave.
"I see!"
Gou Jian's eyes glanced at the jade tiger charm and quickly moved away.
Sure enough, not long afterward, a guard reported that Sun Wu and Wu Zixu each left Shouchun with a hundred personal guards.
"well!"
Helu didn't know whether it was regretful or relieved.
At this point, ordinary military and political power could no longer help him turn defeat into victory and reverse the situation of the war, so it was best for Sun Wu and Wu Zixu to stay or leave. The most important thing now was to become this toad spirit.
Demon clan’s aid!
"I believe you have seen my sincerity!"
Helu looked at Toad: "Where are the demon clan members?"
"Don't worry, our clan will not miss such an opportunity!"
The toad spirit stuck out his tongue: "Come out!"
Whoosh!
A strange wind blew by, and several figures suddenly appeared in the lobby.
Helu and Gou Jian suddenly looked shocked.
Just because these figures that suddenly appeared were exactly the same as the kings of small countries around Shouchun.
And the one in the middle is the King of Chu!
The monsters pretend to be human kings!
Helu's pupils shrank and he questioned: "You can imitate your appearance, but you can't always deceive your ministers. What's more, the king of a country has so many people close to him?"
"Don't worry, there is a clan of dream tapirs (mo) that feed on dreams and devour dreams. We all know what these kings think, like and dislike!"
The toad spirit admired the expressions of the two kings, rolled on the spot, and transformed into an ugly and ferocious man, wearing the armor of a guard. He was the leader of the forbidden army beside King Wu: "If you confuse the fake with the real, the people closest to you will recognize it."
Don’t come out!”
"Since these monsters can pretend to be other kings, wouldn't they also be able to replace me if someone happens to me?"
Helu was frightened and frightened in his heart. He was originally taking advantage of the demon clan, but at this moment, it turned into fear and murderous intent.
Gou Jian was not worried about being impersonated. He had no value in being impersonated. Instead, he became excited.
Just this one move can defeat thousands of troops.
With the sudden rise of a new army, the situation in Chu State will inevitably change drastically.
The turning point is here!
…
…
After one month.
The border of Chu State.
"General, let's go!"
Sun Wu forcibly cut a bloody path, supported the bruised Wu Zixu, and ran into the mountains without looking back.
"search!"
Numerous soldiers chased him from behind and searched the mountain vigorously, but the whereabouts of the two men were lost and they could only return angrily.
After Sun Wu and Wu Zixu left Shouchun, they discussed briefly and headed west to prepare to enter Qin.
Nowadays, wars are everywhere in the world, and the only place that is still peaceful is outside the Pass where the Qin people live.
The area outside the pass was barren and there was nothing to rob, and the Qin State had a strong army and strong horses, so it was difficult to provoke them, so they did not advance eastward, and no country was willing to provoke them.
However, the Qin army is currently gathering at the border of Jin. Taking advantage of the confrontation between Jiang and Jin, they have repeatedly tested the enemy and clearly have ambitions to target the Central Plains.
The first draft of Sun Wu's military book has been completed and is still being perfected. Wu Zixu was avenged for his great revenge, but he did not want to retreat to the mountains and forests. He wanted to show what he had learned and finally chose Qin.
But it is a pity that the Chu State was in too much chaos, and Sun Wu and Wu Zixu were celebrities. When Gou Jian released the news, all countries swarmed into action.
Either forcefully recruit them! Or destroy the enemy!
What I can’t get, others can’t even imagine!
Not to mention the small countries within Chu State, even Jin and Qi have heard of it.
The two fled all the way, their personal guards died one after another, and Hangu Pass was finally in sight.
However, they didn't know that at Hangu Pass, there was also a great order to disperse the pass, and they were waiting for a long time.
Yin Xi sat upright on the top of the city, his eyes flashing with light, and murmured: "Purple air floats in the pass, a saint must come!"
