Prince Yunchang fled back to Yue without stopping all the way. Without having time to rest, he hurried to see the Marquis of Yue, and then told the Marquis of Yue what he knew.
When the Marquis of Yue learned that Huai State was preparing to attack Yue, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately summoned ministers to discuss it. But only now did he know that the ministers of Yue State had secretly repaired most of the roads in Yue State for the sake of profit and money.
Such behavior made Yuehou furious. As a result, Yuehou, who was already old, fainted, fell ill, and died that day. Fortunately, the prince has returned. In times of crisis, the prince Yunchang succeeds to the throne.
"My lords, the Huai Kingdom is attacking me. Do you have any tips on how to deal with it?" Yunchang asked.
"Your Majesty, the Huai State has been planning for a long time, and the roads in our country have been repaired. It is difficult to stop the Huai State army. For the current plan, we can only ask for help from the Chu State!" said a doctor.
Yunchang was also very decisive and immediately ordered: "You will send an envoy to the Chu State immediately, bringing gold, silver and jewelry with you. You must bring the Chu army, otherwise I will be in danger!"
The minister immediately gathered his troops and gifts and headed for the Chu Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, please summon an army and repair the city defenses to resist the Huai army!"
Yunchang agreed one by one, but even so, everyone still had no confidence in blocking the Huai army.
"Your Majesty, I know a warrior who is highly skilled in martial arts. He is favored by me, and I am willing to persuade him to assassinate Duke Huai!" said the doctor Wen Qie.
"Are you sure?" Yunchang asked.
Wen Jie said: "This person's name is Zhuan Zhu, and I owe him great kindness. When his mother was seriously ill, I asked a good doctor to cure her. If he is willing to take action, I should be 80% sure!"
Yunchang was overjoyed and said, "In that case, Wen Qing invites him over quickly!"
"Yes!" Wen Qie said, cupping his hands, then stood up and left.
"Wait! Wen Qing, please wait!" Yunchang suddenly shouted.
Wen Qie was a little confused and asked, "Your Majesty?"
Yunchang said: "Such a warrior should be invited alone!" He immediately asked Wen Qie to lead the way and went to find the warrior.
Soon the two drove to the outside of a house. Wenqie knocked on the door and went in, only to be greeted by a man.
Seeing that Yunchang was dressed in luxurious clothes, he didn't say anything. He took the two of them directly to the room, informed them of Yunchang's identity, and then explained his purpose, and asked Zhuanzhu to take action.
Zhuanzhu looked at Yunchang, and Yunchang immediately bowed respectfully and begged him: "Huai has no way to attack me, and the more danger I get, the more dangerous I am. Please take action to save my Yue country. Yunchang is grateful!"
Zhuan Zhu said: "Wen Gong saved my mother back then and has been taking care of me for several years since then. It's time to repay Gong Wen's kindness."
"The Duke wants me to assassinate the King of Huai. I am just a common man and cannot get close to King Huai. I need you two to give me something to get me close to him before I can assassinate him!"
"Don't worry, strong man, I'm ready!" Yunchang said, taking out a scroll of brocade and saying: "In this brocade, there is a geographical map of the mountains and rivers of our country of Yue, and it also records the layout of our army of Yue. . If you bring this map with you, you will definitely be able to meet Mr. Huai!"
Zhuan Zhu took the scroll and said to the two of them: "After I leave, please declare me a fugitive immediately. If you catch me, you will be rewarded heavily!"
After seeing that the two agreed, Zhuan Zhu stood up and left.
...
Wang Jin did not immediately summon an army to attack Yue. After all, doing so would show that he was well prepared.
After Prince Yunchang fled back to his country, Wang Jin announced that Yue was being disrespectful, that his hostage had fled, and that he would launch a large army to conquer.
As for the Huai State sending troops to conquer the Yue State, the Jin State did not bother to send troops because of the fight between the Marquis of Jin and Zhao Dun. The Qi State was unable to support itself and did not dare to send troops without the Jin State taking the lead. Xiong Yun of Chu State was seriously ill, and the prince was waiting to ascend the throne, but he also did not care about Yue State, which was already isolated at this time.
After Wang Jin was well prepared, he summoned a large army to attack Vietnam, and just in case, he stationed troops in the north and west for defense. After everything was arranged, he led the army to prepare for the invasion of Vietnam.
The army set off for the expedition and took a boat straight into the river. Soon they arrived at Gusu City. Just as Wang Jin was preparing to rest for two days,
During the expedition against the country of Yue, a man suddenly wanted to join the army and claimed that he had brought military defense drawings of the country of Vietnam and wanted to dedicate them to him.
Wang Jin was very excited when he heard the news. Because Wang Jin allowed the caravans to sell at low prices and earn high profits in the Yue Kingdom, many of the Yue Kingdom's nobles and nobles exploited the people. The people of the Yue Kingdom were already very dissatisfied with the Yue Kingdom's nobles and the Yue Marquis, and they had deep grievances.
Therefore, he did not suspect that this was false news at all, and immediately ordered someone to bring him up.
Wang Jin was waiting in the palace in Gusu City. After a while, two attendants came with a man. This man held a scroll of brocade silk in his arms, and there seemed to be some writing on it.
When the man saw Wang Jin, he saluted respectfully.
"The people of the mountains and grasslands pay homage to the king!"
"What's your name? I heard that you got the military defense map of Yue? Can you tell me how you got it?" Wang Jin said with a smile.
"Master Hui Guo, I am originally from the Yue Kingdom, and my name is Zhuan Zhu. The nobles and nobles forced my family to hunt wild animals for enjoyment. I managed to survive with some skill, but my father and brothers died in the wilderness. This time The Vietnamese army was recruiting soldiers, and I was drafted."
"Because I hunted wild beasts and was somewhat brave, I was appointed as a guard. Because I didn't want to work for him, I stole this blueprint while he was sleeping."
"Your Majesty, please take a look and let me tell you about this blueprint." After saying that, Zhuanzhu handed one side of the brocade silk to one of the guards, and he took the blueprint and stretched it out little by little.
Wang Jin also stood up and stepped forward, ready to watch.
Zhuanzhu unfolded the blueprint little by little, and it turned out to be the defense plan of the Yue Kingdom. Wang Jin was very happy after seeing the blueprint. At the moment of his excitement, Zhuan Zhu suddenly grabbed the wooden scroll of the scroll, and with a flash of cold light, a dagger stabbed Wang Jin like a white rainbow piercing the sun.
Zhuan Zhu was only two steps away from Wang Jin. His movements were extremely fast, leaving no time for anyone to react. He only saw a flash of cold light and instantly stabbed Wang Jin in the chest.
"Bold!"
"stop!"
The two guards were so frightened that they rushed forward to fight, but it was too late. Just when everyone thought Wang Jin was about to be killed, a spiritual light suddenly flashed on him.
I saw that the extremely sharp dagger made a soft sound after it stabbed Wang Jin. No matter how hard he tried, the dagger didn't make any progress.
"Zhuanzhu! You deserve to die!"
Wang Jin didn't expect that Zhuan Zhu came to assassinate him, and he was immediately furious. After reacting, Wang Jin grabbed the sword at his waist and slashed at Zhuan Zhu with a slash of his sword. Zhuan Zhu had just struck out with all his strength. He had no time to dodge the blow, and his arm was cut off by a sword.
Two guards rushed forward and pinned Zhuanzhu to the ground. Wang Jin was also frightened for a moment. If it were not for the protection of the jade pendant, he would definitely be the one who died today.
"Why do you want to assassinate Gu?" Wang Jin shouted angrily.
"Wen Qi has been a great benefactor to me. Now that the country of Yue is in trouble, it is natural for me to come forward to help. I didn't expect you to be so cautious and see me, a commoner, still wearing armor!"
"Why are you so careful?" Zhuan Zhu asked excitedly. The stab he just made was the strongest blow in his life, but it turned out to be in vain. How could he be willing to do so!
"Kill him and abandon him in the wilderness!" Wang Jin said angrily.
The two guards killed Zhuan Zhu and then abandoned him in the wilderness. Soon the news of Wang Jin's assassination spread throughout the army. The entire Huai army suddenly became excited and wanted to fight. They killed Yunchang to vent their anger.
