At the end of last month, Wu and Chu made an agreement to declare war and set up battle formations in the wilderness.
During this battle, Prince Guang led his troops forward. After a long battle, they became exhausted and retreated even as they fought. The Chu army then covered up the enemy and pursued them to a valley in Jigong Mountain. Suddenly, ambushes appeared everywhere, but it was Wu Jun who arrived in person. The great Sima Chuan Yue commanded his troops to fight hard, but the Wu army shouted: "Qu Wan is dead, and the Chu army has been defeated."
The Chu army collapsed immediately, causing countless casualties. Now Chu Yue has reorganized his remaining troops and retreated to Chuan Zhen, which is the fiefdom of the Chu family. The terrain is dangerous, and the Chu army is here to wait for reinforcements.
After listening to the battle report, Wu Sheng not only sighed: "Wu Jun has learned to fight..."
Master Dongsun said: "Isn't this just what we learned from the lay people? At first, the Wu people sued the lay people for this, but now it's better, they have used it in reverse. It's so shameless! You think this Chu army is also strange , the Wu people spread rumors on the battlefield that Qu Wan died, and they believed it? Can they believe the words of the enemy? "
Wu Sheng said: "If Qu Wan is really dead, do you think they would believe it?"
Master Dongsun was stunned: "No way, is he really dead?"
Wu Sheng smiled and said: "Now it seems that he is really dead. What is Yangzhou's reaction?"
Master Dongsun said: "Cui Ming didn't respond. He just spread the news. I guess everyone in Yangzhou doesn't know how to deal with it."
Wu Sheng said: "You or Dong Da, go to Yangzhou in person and ask if Shen Douke is dead. If he is not dead, I will be uneasy!"
Dongsun gloated: "I heard that the Wu army did not follow the rules and killed them. The Chu army killed tens of thousands of people in the battle, and many generals died. I am afraid Shen Douke will not be spared."
While he was talking, someone from the palace came and asked Wu Sheng if he was still in retreat. He said that the monarch had summoned important ministers to discuss matters and invited him into the palace. He also brought his chariots.
Wu Sheng agreed and immediately boarded the car and entered the palace.
When he arrived, all the important ministers had already arrived and were waiting for him. Everyone was smiling and talking and laughing. The defeat of the Chu State was of course a great good thing for the Yong State. In the foreseeable few months, I am afraid that it will not be able to spare the energy to conquer the Four Kingdoms, and the Four Kingdoms will have another period of breathing time.
When he saw Wu Sheng, King Qingyu suddenly straightened his clothes, bowed his hands to Wu Sheng and said, "I want to be the pillar of the country, I hope you will take it!"
To pay homage to the emperor so solemnly in public is no longer a joke or a joke, but a formal ceremony of worship. The position of the Zhuguo, as the name suggests, is the pillar of the country. The Yongguo does not have the positions of Taishi, Lingyin, Consul, or Prime Minister. If Wu Sheng agrees to serve as the Zhuguo, it will be equivalent to the ruling of the Yongguo, ranking at the top of the hundred officials - -Although the country of Yong still does not have hundreds of officials.
Wu Sheng really didn't want to be the pillar of the country, so he humbly said: "I have little talent and little knowledge. I am only good at refining elixirs. I have some income occasionally. It's just because the king is wise and the officials are helping me. Please let me do it."
Qingyu didn't take it seriously, and immediately said: "I hope you will think about it." - Give you some time, you can think about it again.
The first process of paying homage to the emperor has been completed, and there will be a second and third time later, and even the king issues an edict and ministers visit to express their condolences. These are all great etiquettes of worshiping the emperor. But Wu Sheng had already made up his mind. He was currently in good condition and he definitely didn't have time to devote himself to tedious government affairs. His ambition was to fly high in the right direction, not to enjoy power. That thing was boring.
After he was rejected, the court meeting with the important ministers began. Qingyu said: "Now that I heard that the Chu army was defeated, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. I have trouble sleeping and eating. How can you teach me?"
Yuan Sima said: "Dr. Shen once said that the first step for the rise of Dayong is for the four countries to dominate. When Dr. Shen and I led the army to conquer the state, we were deceived by the Yu Kingdom. The Yu army used deceit and ignored my Dayong. His hundreds of years of kindness and righteousness lied to the Chu people in order to escape, and put our mediocre army in danger. This unjust act must be punished!"
This was also a public case from that day. Yuan Sima still thinks about it with worry and resentment. When the three kingdoms of Yong, Kui and Lu retreated south, the Yu army was still in the Chu camp. Thinking about it now, the chance of survival may be very small, especially when Bo Gui was executed by Shen Douke and the backbone of the Yu kingdom was broken. The best thing in front of him was opportunity for conquest.
Yuan Sima's proposal immediately aroused the approval of the important ministers. Young Fu Yanbing stroked his long gray beard and said first: "The Chu State was defeated by Chicken Father. It is said that the losses were heavy. The Chu army in Huyi was destroyed by Dayong. At this moment If you are powerless against the Four Kingdoms, it’s time to cut down the fish!”
Sikong Yipu asked for a fight: "Sima Yuan and Doctor Shen went out on the previous expedition, and their achievements were great, but they were really hard work. Let the two doctors take a rest. Yu is a small country in Zuo'er, not worth mentioning. Now we are harvesting fish , I am willing to lead the army!"
Young Master Yan Bing smiled and said, "I've got lice on my hands and feet now. It's time to move around."
Guo Lao Yongzifu said: "Yes, it's time to do some exercise."
Situ Zhonggu said to Wu Sheng: "Doctor Shen, you and Yuan Sima have a rest, and it's time for us to devote ourselves to the country."
Yuan Sima was a little resentful, but he also knew that the war in Zhengzhou was too rich, and if he continued to dominate the war in Fishing State, he would probably arouse the public outrage of the officials.
When King Qingyu saw that all the important ministers had finished speaking, he immediately asked Wu Sheng: "Why does Shen Qing teach me?"
Wu Sheng bowed and said, "I don't dare. I think that, as Yi Sikong said, the Yu Kingdom is already vulnerable, so it's time to attack. However, in the previous expedition, Kui and Qu were the only two countries to look up to me. I would like to advise you." , we should contact the two countries to jointly send troops."
The fishing country cannot frighten the two countries Kui and Lu. If you scare them, it will easily shake the determination of the two countries to follow, and it will inevitably lead to changes. Therefore, Wu Sheng believes that the two countries should be brought together to send troops to divide the fish country. This is the best policy.
Yan Bing and Zhong Gu were not very interested in Wu Sheng's proposal, and even Yi Pu was a little hesitant. After all, bringing the two countries together would definitely require a lot of land, population, and war spoils.
But Qingyu trusted Wu Sheng very much and immediately decided: "Just follow Shen Qing's words!"
Wu Sheng added: "After taking over Yuguo, move the Yuguo ancestral hall to Shangyong and not live anywhere else. After that, depending on the war situation between Chu and Wu, we should choose the opportunity to go north, join forces with Kui and Lu, and capture Huyi and Chengshan." They even marched into Yangzhou."
Qingyu was very excited: "When Shen Qing said this, everyone's hearts were opened."
The big deal has been decided, Wu Sheng didn't want to stay long, so he said goodbye and left the palace. He still had most of the good things in the room to digest, and he didn't have time to waste. As for who will be the chief fisher, he won't worry about it and let others fight for it. Anyway, his Mangdang Mountain needs to rest and recuperate for a while.
Wu Sheng returned to Yongrentang and continued to visualize and transform day and night. The total amount of spiritual sand in the Zhenyuan world steadily advanced, 2.8 million, 2.9 million, 3 million...
When the total number exceeded three million, the True Essence World did not undergo disruptive changes, nor did it stagnate. Instead, it continued to move towards 3.1 million. The clarity of the world sand table was improved by two compared to when it was just lit. Times!
When all the big boxes in the alchemy room were exhausted, the number of spiritual sands had exceeded 3.3 million. Wu Sheng expected that the end of the ordinary god refining realm was coming, and the next step was to break through.
