The death of Prince Si directly made the Wu-Jin alliance extremely useless. The person to whom Prince Xiaoque of Jin submitted his credentials was determined not to be the future King of Wu.
Unless the people of Wu are really wild enough to let dead people preside over state affairs, then Wu is probably a country of ghosts and gods. Jin has such an ally, and it is really a waste of money.
It is impossible to make money with blood, and it is impossible to make money with blood in this life...
The guards of the Suzhou Palace could draw their swords and kill him, but Xiaoque, who was crying and fainting in the toilet, didn't know what to do next.
Why did he come all the way to this hellish place?
Is it to see the vast expanse of smoke and the love between fish and birds? Is it to see millions of corpses lying on the red ground thousands of miles away? Of course, there are not millions of corpses lying on the ground, but there are quite a lot of floating corpses. The corpses burned by the countries on the Huaihe River are not ten thousand, but there are always five thousand.
The air was filled with the smell of fat when corpses were burned, almost making people vomit. Young Master Xiaoque, who had successfully lost weight, started a weight loss plan.
Young Master Xiaoque feels that he will die in this hellish place, and don't think about whether he will be the king or not. If he can go home alive, it is a victory.
"There is absolutely no chance that the dead soldiers were sent by Jiang Yinzi!"
"That's right! The general rose up in the wilderness. In the old days, the "Shaye" was extremely poor. How did the savages feed the dead? Moreover, this kind of assassination method is definitely not the custom of Wu and Yue."
"The inferences here are all reasonable, but there are flaws in the end. There is only one thing that the mastermind never expected. This... is the biggest flaw, which is enough to prove that the general's assassination has nothing to do with him."
"oh?"
Some people are very surprised, but what this person said does make sense.
What if we had a life-and-death relationship while we were living in the wilderness?
What if Li Jie had rescued an expert who was passing by Niujia Village when he was in "Baisha Village"?
"General Wei said something happened to the general, but the mastermind didn't expect it?"
"Exactly!"
General Wei Ya of the Xian Kingdom looked around and said seriously: "Have you forgotten? How can the general's words be the same as the words presented by the assassins?"
"good!"
"exactly!"
"What General Wei said is exactly what he said!"
Wei Ya, who had a solemn expression, stroked his beard and his eyes were a little solemn. He knew that what was happening now might be a big turmoil.
These small countries on the Huaihe River might all perish.
Not everyone can bear Wu Guo's self-destruction.
It is extremely bad to think that the Wu Kingdom is divided at the top of the mountain, and each family is a giant if taken separately.
"Gentlemen, the most important thing is that the general is illiterate."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then recalled all the situations in Biyang Kingdom. It seemed that no matter what document, Li Jie would get it and give it to the people around him to read it to him.
In the past, I only thought that Li Jie was doing this to show off his dignity, but now it seems that maybe Li Jie is illiterate and cannot read at all.
Thinking of this, this group of nobles from the small Huaishang country actually admired Li Jie even more!
An illiterate person actually defeated the Song Dynasty twice. What an amazing thing!
After Wei Ya started, nobles from various countries also expressed their opinions, and found that Li Jie was not the only one who was illiterate.
As a result, a group of small country elites came to the conclusion that the mastermind of the assassination had probably only heard of Li Jie, but had definitely never met Li Jie.
This person is definitely not from Jianghuai, nor from Chuyue.
After a brief inference, the nobles of these small Huaishang countries suddenly looked extremely ugly. Some people were planning and some were scheming.
And even including the two superpowers, the value of the Wu-Jin Alliance is now so low that it can be ignored.
Even within the Jin Kingdom, Young Master Xiaoque's journey to the south was only regarded as a joke.
If it wasn't a joke, the naysayers would make it one!
This is an opportunity given by God.
Young Master Xiaoque is by no means the only person who has dark clouds in his heart. The generals and officials of the Huaishang Kingdoms also know very well that the Huaishang Kingdoms may be doomed next.
After Wu Guo blew himself up, he always needed an outlet. Perhaps before he blew himself up, he had to face the anger of the old monster Gou Chen.
The anger of King Wu is the most intense anger in the world!
"Could he be from Song Dynasty?"
"Won't!"
Someone immediately retorted, "The 'Prime Minister' of the Song Dynasty, Dai Ziju, was a man of noble character. How could he anger the King of Wu with a dead soldier? If Dai Ziju raised a dead soldier, how could he become the 'strong grass' of the Song Dynasty?"
"Too."
When Dai Ju was mentioned, elites from all over the world showed admiration in their eyes.
There is no way, Dai Ju's series of operations are simply a model of loyal ministers. There is probably no better minister than him in the world. It is simply perfect.
Zilu Fei, this foolish king, was really lucky to have met such a good minister.
"Zheng Ren?"
"How dare the Zheng people?"
"Zheng people have their reasons."
"Why?"
"The people of Zheng attacked Xu, and Cai also attacked Xu. Now that the 'rebels' are attacking Cai, wouldn't the next step be to attack Zheng?"
Although attacking Zheng Guo is definitely a wishful thinking, there is no logical problem with this matter.
This is the slogan of the "Rebel Army". What if Zheng Guo takes it seriously? Then he should get rid of Li Jie first and make Li Jie suffer bad luck.
What a bad luck! Someone pretending to be Li Jie went to assassinate the young master, who was the future king of Wu.
There are reasons, the ability to take action, and sufficient resources. It seems that Zheng Guo has a chance.
"Assassing the young master is equivalent to destroying the Wu-Jin alliance. How can the Jin country forgive the Zheng people?"
"that's true……"
In this argument, everyone expressed their own opinions, but everyone had one conclusion, that is, things were a bit big this time. Their own hometown might also be ruined.
"My lords, the King of Wu is not yet aware of this, but in two days, Gusu will definitely be shaken! Furthermore, we have been staying in Xucheng for a long time. Who knows about the changes in Huaishang? If the Cai people send troops first...
"
It would have been fine if I didn't say it, but after I did, everyone's expressions became even uglier.
It's just as ugly as it is ugly. When the people of Wu saw it, they just thought they were mourning for the prince, which showed that they respected the state of Wu, and the people of Wu would not get angry.
"Get out, you can't stay here for long."
"It's God's will. In the old days, the Xu Kingdom was crowned king, but the country was exterminated and sacrificed. Now Wu and Jin are forming an alliance..."
"Silence!"
There is no point in making sarcastic remarks at this time. In two days, Gusu will definitely know what happened here, and if he wants to leave then, he may not be able to leave.
Even now, the Huaishang countries want to leave because they are weak enough, and the reasons are relatively good. After all, it is very likely that Cai Guo has already wreaked havoc in their country.
Maybe after returning home, his country will be destroyed.
The countries in Huaishang made some preparations. Although the troops and horses were exhausted, and less than half of the soldiers were dead. After the bodies were burned, the ashes were packed in jars and bamboo tubes, then stuffed into the boats and taken back to their hometowns.
Bringing the body back was simply impossible in such a hot day.
As soon as the kingdoms of Huaishang left, the king's division of Huai County entered Xucheng. The atmosphere was so chill that even the Jin troops felt nervous.
Even the top leaders of Jin State have planned to give up this land and directly exchange it with Wu State for other benefits.
This ghost place is so evil. I used to think that this good land was destroyed by the Xu Kingdom?
Now it seems that it must be God's disapproval.
Gusu, everything has been prepared for the prince's etiquette. Now all we need is a prince to go through the motions. A new chapter, a new chapter for the Kingdom of Wu, will begin to be written.
However, at this moment, Gou Chen looked calmly into the distance with his eyes. He was calm as never before, silent and motionless.
Underneath, hundreds of officials were crawling. Chang Jie, who had just pretended to be the "Da Chang Shi", was pale and lying motionless on the ground. There was even a faint smell of urine in the air. Soon, there was a county doctor.
He was dragged out and executed for disobeying the emperor.
The bloody head was brought up by Su Wei and examined by Gou Chen before he was brought down again.
"I'm just a humble person... looking down on the world's heroes."
The voice was calm, but extremely indifferent, as if there was no emotion at all.
"Which hero is so brave and dares to use Wu as a pawn and the widow as a pawn?"
As if he was asking someone, or as if he was asking himself, Gou Chen's expression fluctuated slightly.
"My lords... why are you teaching me?"
Although Gou Chen is old, he has a superb bearing. He puts one hand on his knee, leans forward slightly, looks like a wolf and an eagle, and is extremely sharp.
"Or...or...or Jiangyin Li Jie?"
Taicang Ling Yu Nan of the Yu clan, who had some qualifications, prostrated on the ground, raised his head tremblingly and said something.
"The name of your former minister is a courtesy. If Yu Nan is disrespectful, behead him!"
"No, no, no... No, no, no... Your Majesty, please spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare your life! I am guilty! I am Yu Nan is guilty! I am... ah! ah! ah! No, no..."
Taicang Ling Yu Nan was like a struggling old dog, being dragged out directly by the burly guards in the palace. Not long after, a scream came from outside, and a moment later, another fresh head was placed on a tray by the guards.
He held it and presented it bloodyly in front of Gou Chen.
Looking at Yu Nan's head, Gou Chen waved his hand in disgust, and Su Wei held Yu Nan's head and retreated.
"Summon Young Master Chou to come!"
After a long time, Gou Chen said a little tiredly.
As soon as these words came out, some of the old ministers who were prostrate on the edge suddenly trembled and their eyes showed ecstasy.
Outside the palace, the excitement is still going on. People are waiting for the crown prince to be enthroned. From today on, the country of Wu will change. The people of the country believe that this is a good change.
Where Gongzi Chou was imprisoned, one could also hear the laughter and laughter. Gongzi Chou smiled indifferently and faced all this calmly.
Looking up at the sky, the sun is dazzling, but the weather is fine.
The main room is facing the door. The young master Chou is smiling. In front of the table is today's food. He gave the slave a small bribe with a piece of jade.
The food is not complicated, just a fish, a chicken, some water shield, a bowl of wild rice, and some pickles.
Picking up the chopsticks, he slowly poked open the fish, and the meat on the fish's belly was shaved off little by little, as if this was Gongzi Chou's favorite delicacy.
Wu people do love to eat fish, even the nobles do.
The middle-aged son Chou slowly shaved off the flesh of the fish, then he put down his chopsticks and placed them sideways in a formal manner.
Then he stretched out his hand and picked up a handful of slender thorns.
The short spines are hidden in the belly of the fish and are difficult to detect.
Picking up the thorn, wipe the juice off the thorn with a piece of silk cloth, then close your eyes, take a deep breath, and untie your coat.
With his naked upper body exposed, even though he is middle-aged, Gongzi Chou is still strong and strong, not inferior to his deceased younger brother Gongzi Yin.
Bang! Bang!
The door rang.
"Ah……"
With a smile on his face, Gongzi Chou slowly inserted the thorn into his heart.
