Spring and Autumn GL

The envoy sent by the state of Wu to the state of Lu finally returned and reported that the state of Lu did not agree to hand over Prince Ning, saying that the state of Wu had framed him.As soon as Fu Chai heard that it was exactly what I wanted, he immediately ordered Wu Zixu to be invited to meet him and discuss with him about the crusade against Lu.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zixu firmly disagreed with Varu, saying:

"Your Majesty, please think twice about the matter of defeating Lu. Although Lu State is a tiny place, it is easy to take it down, but it is an important check and balance between Wu State and Qi State. If Lu State is allied with us, Qi State will wholeheartedly fight with you. The two countries of Wu and Lu are hostile, and it is inevitable that there will be wars and disasters everywhere, and there will be no peace for years."

Fu Chai snorted coldly: "The widow's decision has been made, Doctor Wu doesn't need to say much, just lead the troops into battle."

Wu Zixu added that he couldn't say anything about Fu Chai, but was greatly ridiculed by him. He was anxious and annoyed.

When Xishi got the news, she hurried to find Zheng Dan, and when she told the story, Zheng Dan was also shocked.

"It's like this... so how can life be good? I'm a girl. Although I can do some kung fu, why did General Wu recommend me to lead troops to the battlefield? Does he value my trust in me, or does he want my life?"

Xi Shi said: "It must be an act of general Wu's anger, deliberately recommending a woman to lead the army, insinuating that Fu Chai is a womanizer. Fu Chai should know the seriousness and will not agree."

Zheng Dan thought for a while: "No, I'll go. I'll go and challenge Fu Chai in person. Whether I lose or win, I can finally make Fu Chai feel that I'm completely devoted to Wu. Do you think so?"

"Sister Wujia, you have to think twice. The battlefield is nothing compared to a school field. It is easy to hide from open guns, but hard to defend against hidden arrows. No matter how good your martial arts are, what can you do if you are placed among tens of thousands of people?"

Zheng Dan said with a smile: "Wu Zixu thought I couldn't go, so I just went. In this way, Fu Chai must treat Wu Zixu with cold eyes. If you want to destroy Wu, Wu Zixu must use any means to get rid of him."

"I'll go with you." Xi Shi said without hesitation, "If something difficult happens, there will be someone to take care of me."

"Yi Guang..."

"Don't worry, I'll stay in the big tent of the Chinese army, and I will never put myself in danger."

Zheng Dan had no choice but to agree, and before Fu Chai could express his position and order, he went to meet Fu Chai first.

Fu Chai happened to be angry at Wu Zixu's letter, and thought that he was forcing him to use a woman to lead the army. This woman was also his Fu Chai's Beigong empress.Wu Zixu said that he was resentful because he was sick, and he could understand it, but it was wrong to write a satirical remonstrance. If it weren't for Wu Zixu's high position and power, and being an important minister of the former king, he would have dealt with him a long time ago.

Suddenly someone said that Zheng Dan was coming to see him, Fu Chai was slightly taken aback, and invited Zheng Dan to the room.

"My concubine, what's the matter?"

Zheng Dan said directly: "The concubine heard that General Wu Zixu recommended me to lead the army, what does the king think?"

Fu Chai slapped the table: "Wu Zixu is getting older and more ignorant. This is obviously nonsense. How can a widow let his beloved concubine go to war? Could it be that Wu Zixu is the only one who knows how to fight when there is no one in Wu?"

Zheng Dan said: "Your Majesty, calm down. Since General Wu thinks highly of his concubines, it is not a bad idea for them to give it a try. Besides, the country of Lu is only a tiny place. Once my Wu army passes by thousands of horses, it will probably be flattened. Isn’t it the same as being a general? Besides, if the concubine can really lead the army to victory as a woman, the Qi State will definitely look at us differently, which is not a bad thing.”

After thinking for a long time, Fu Chai asked someone to call Bo Pi, explained the matter, and asked:

"Dazai, look at the matter between Wu Zixu and Empress Beigong..."

Bo Pi looked at Zheng Dan's face, Zheng Dan nodded slightly, Bo Pi understood, cupped his hands and said:

"It's good if the empress of the West Palace can go to lead the army to fight. First, the empress will go to battle in person, which shows that the king is determined, and will definitely arouse the courage of the soldiers. Second, let other countries see. My country of Wu is a princess, and I also have such abilities. , so that they cannot despise Wu Guo."

Fu Chai smiled happily: "Since you said the same thing, Dazai, then it's settled. Tomorrow, Wu Jia will be called to order soldiers for training, and the next morning, we will send troops to Lu State as planned."

It was Ye Fucha who came to Xishi Palace confidently, and talked about this matter with her enthusiastically.Xi Shi feigned surprise:

"How can it be done? What if something happens to the homeless sister, the concubine... Who can the concubine talk to?"

Fucha said: "The widow is still in the palace, you can chat with the widow. And there are more than the two of you in this harem, there are plenty of maids and maids, so you won't be lonely."

Xi Shi lowered her eyes and said: "That's different. Women are already jealous, and because of their different status, how can they dare to tell the truth to me? Only the homeless sister can tell the truth."

Fu Chai frowned and said: "This is troublesome. I have already promised Wujia to let her go to war. Now the decree has been passed down. If you can't change it, I'm afraid I can only wrong you."

Xishi thought for a while: "What's the trouble? I'll go with sister Wujia. Firstly, I will help her with advice. Second, because there are differences between men and women in the army, I can also take care of her. Could it be that the king only allows Wujia to show his face? Allow me to go? When she makes great achievements, will I be a head shorter than her?"

From the point of sisterhood to the foundation of the Wu Kingdom, Xi Shi had to deal with it, but she had no choice but to agree to let her go to the army, but she would not be able to leave half a mile away from the central army camp.

On the day of dispatching troops, Zheng Dan was neatly dressed in black armor and riding a white horse, majestic and heroic.When Fu Chai saw him off, seeing Zheng Dan like this, his eyes widened immediately. He didn't expect her to look more generous and free-spirited than before in a military uniform—could there be such a woman who was born for battle?

Xi Shi and Bo Pi sat in the carriage and served as military advisers together. Zheng Dan drove the horse and walked beside the carriage. Xi Shi poked his head out from time to time and smiled at her.On this road, the dust was flying, and the animals and birds were far away. The [-] Wu troops headed straight to Qufu, the capital of the State of Lu, domineeringly.

Ji Jiang, the King of Lu, heard the report from Tan Ma, saying that the army of Wu Jun had been dispatched and would arrive within the border of the State of Lu within three days.

Ji Sunfei said: "The State of Wu suddenly said that the prince of Lu State sent an assassin to rob the princess. This is clearly a deliberate attempt to frame him and make him famous. But our State of Lu and State of Wu have always been on good terms, and they suddenly attacked Lu. If it wasn't for Threats are meant to annex. But although our country of Lu is small, we have plenty of food and grass. It is impossible for them to take Qufu within a year. Coupled with the energy of our Lu soldiers Sufficient, with [-] against [-], you don't necessarily lose, so don't worry, Your Majesty."

Ji Jiang snorted: "Our country of Lu has always been a country of etiquette. If the crown prince robs his wife of Wu, even if we admit it, other countries will not believe it. There is no movement at this moment. It is clear that we are waiting to see." It's a good show."

Ji Sunfei said: "I heard that the state of Wu did not send Wu Zixu to lead the army, but sent some kind of Beigong lady named Zheng Dan. This is clearly despising the state of Lu. We just took this opportunity to make the state of Wu suffer. .”

King Lu nodded and ordered General He Ji to lead the army.He Ji and the king of Lu belonged to the same clan, so they naturally devoted themselves to the state of Lu and vowed to expel the Wu army from the territory of the state of Lu.

As soon as Zheng Dan's army arrived in the State of Lu, before they set up camp, they were caught off guard by the 2000 elite cavalry in an ambush from the State of Lu. Although there was no major loss, they lost their momentum for a while.Zheng Dan didn't expect Lu Guo to have such a tough attitude, and he was a little annoyed.

Originally, she was a native of Yue, and she had no grievances with Lu, and she didn't want to take Wu's army to conquer Lu's land, but in this situation, there was no other way but to attack.

Seeing that Zheng Dan was frowning, Xi Shi rubbed her shoulders: "Sister Wujia, are you worried? Come and listen to me, and I will help you find some solutions."

Zheng Dan held Xishi's hand with a wry smile, patted it and said, "You were happy and leisurely at King Wu's place, but now you want to be by my side and accompany me to the point of burnt out, you really..."

Xi Shi smiled and said: "It's much more comfortable to be in trouble beside you than to pretend to be a snake by King Wu's side. The two of us are together, what is so difficult in the world?"

Looking into Xi Shi's eyes, Zheng Dan suddenly felt more at ease, and said, "Yi Guang, help me think about it. Is there any way to make the State of Lu surrender without a fight?"

Xishi said: "Sister Wujia, you don't have to be kind, you just need to attack by force. The state of Lu is a state of etiquette and integrity, how can you be willing to be manipulated by others? Now we are at the mercy of others, so we can only take one step at a time. Doctor Fan suggested that Wu The country attacked Lu, did you ever think of the Lu country? He didn't even think about it, why do you think so much?"

Zheng Dan looked at Xi Shi, as if he didn't know her, and couldn't believe that she said the words, but when he heard Fan Li's name, his heart shivered.Ever since he came to the Wu Kingdom, everything was arranged by Fan Li. Although he felt that it was unfair to place the cause on Fan Li, he couldn't say anything to refute it.I had to let out a long sigh:

"Well, if you still can't think of a way tomorrow morning, you have to order the siege."

At night, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan fell asleep together. Seeing that Zheng Dan was still worried, Xi Shi said:

"No home, don't think about it, how long has it been since we slept together? You are from the Yue country, and everything is for the Yue country. Even if you attract complaints from the people, with your current status, you can only make them resent the Wu country. It is not a bad thing for the Yue country. Do you remember the oath that Doctor Fan taught us to swear, to avenge the country and the family, we must..."

Zheng Dan continued: "I must endure the humiliation and bear the burden. Even if I bear the whole world, I will not bear the grass and trees of my country. If there is any violation, I will die with a thousand arrows piercing my heart."

Xi Shi nodded: "Don't think too hard, it doesn't matter if we win or lose tomorrow, as long as we don't let Fu Chai see the flaws, it will be great."

Zheng Dan smiled miserably, turned around and hugged Xi Shi: "It's better for Yiguang to enlighten people, well, I'll listen to you. The barren mountains and ridges, it's cold at night, don't get sick from the cold, I'll hug you to sleep."

Xi Shi leaned into Zheng Dan's arms, held her hand around her waist, and did not move anymore.Not long after, the sound of even breathing came from behind, Zheng Dan was too tired and had already fallen asleep.Xi Shi slowly opened her eyes, staring at the dark night expressionlessly.

Do this, right?For the sake of Yue, can you really ignore the people of other countries?I persuaded Zheng Dan to be ruthless, but I hoped that she would feel better, but if I were Zheng Dan, I'm afraid...

She sighed softly, frowned, closed her eyes, couldn't sleep, at least she wanted to rest up.
