Chapter 7 Chapter Seven Conspiracy to save the palace

The next day, Wu Zixu brought Sun Wu and his wife Bo Nv back to Gusu City.It is said that the great king Helu will meet with him within three days and entrust him with a heavy responsibility.Sun Wu asked him why he made this assertion?Zixu said, rely on thirteen chapters of "Sun Tzu's Art of War".Sun Wu asked Zixu where did he get such self-confidence?Wu Zixu said, cut open Zixu's chest, and you will know that my heart is warm, honest and reliable?Ask again: Of course Zixu is sincere and trustworthy, what if the king doesn't believe it?Wu Zixu patted his head and said: Haven't you seen my young white hair? Wu Zixu fired a crossbow and didn't turn back.Let's just say a common saying, don't cry if you don't see the willow cart in the coffin!

Sun Wu followed Wu Zixu and traveled all the way to Gusu. looking forward to.waiting.Nothing happened. The "bad" fell on Wu Zixu.King Helu of Wu was cunning and suspicious.When Wu Zixu recommended Sun Wu, he was full of praise, and designed to earn He Lu a trip to Luofu Mountain.But the more anxious this Wu Zixu was, the more suspicious He Lu became. He had not been crowned king for a long time, but he always felt that his foothold was not stable, and he was very vigilant whether the nobles around him were trying to snatch his power.Coupled with Sun Wu's recommendation of leaving, killing his wife and chopping his hands is of course a must. After all, he is a dry child like a small townsman. For this reason, He Lu doubted Sun Wu's eyesight. But it turned out that he was just a young man in his twenties.After weighing the thirteen chapters of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", He Lu also felt that the art of war was magnificent, but he felt that after all, it was just a simple talk about soldiers, and he needed more real talents to train soldiers and organize soldiers and horses.He Lu once tentatively asked Wu Zixu for his opinion: I am going to give Sun Wu the commander of a thousand men first, how about it?Wu Zixu said, no.There are hundreds of people in the leader of a thousand men, Sun Wu can be the arm of the king, how can he be the leader of the army?Wu Zixu didn't dare to tell Sun Wu about these remarks, for fear that Sun Wu would eventually leave his hometown because of his talent.Therefore, no matter how busy he was with state affairs, when he was supervising the repair of Gusu City, while directing tens of thousands of craftsmen to dig the Xuxi River, the largest canal in the world, he came to see Sun Wu when he had time.

Sun Wu could only lie dormant in anxiety and injustice, waiting. Autumn has come.A few chilly autumn rains passed by, and the leaves of the sycamore trees in the city were already fragile and withered.The leaves are reluctantly falling all over the ground.The reeds on Taihu Lake are even more bleak, as if they suddenly turned white.A cry of geese pierced across the sky, and another cry of geese came.The geese began their arduous trek. In order to reach the warm south, they flew from the north of the Yellow River and beyond the Great Wall. fly away.Where is Sun Tzu's ideal realm?Looking at the frightened geese and the mournful wind in the phoenix trees, his heart was full of sadness.Muchun came to Wu country and experienced a long summer, and now the days are even more long and unbearable, a day is longer than a year!It took only a blink of an eye, and my eyes were already covered with hoarfrost when I got up early this morning.

Someone came on frost. General Fugai.This nobleman with a pair of bright eagle eyes, tall and thin, quick-witted, always smiling, is the younger brother of King Helu of Wu.After all, He Lu still believed in his son Fu Chai and his younger brother Fu Gai more. Let them read "Sun Tzu's Art of War" first, and then discuss the appropriate use of the Sun Wu faction.Fugai studied for several nights, and copied down the thirteen chapters verbatim.Husband was shocked after reading it, and even called it a strange person, a genius! "The Art of War" was handed over to Fu Chai, who was already wary of Sun Wu, and because Concubine Mei made him fascinated, he hadn't read it yet.As for Fugai, it can be said that he thinks about others when he sees things. After a sleepless night, on the morning frost, he brought only one personal entourage and eagerly came to visit Sun Wu.

He marveled at how young Sun Changqing was in this art of war. He looked at Sun Wu with a smile: "My husband probably doesn't understand, Mr. Changqing is so young, where did he get the thirteen Art of War?" Sun Wu: "Everyone in the world is talking about war. General Fugai, you know that when King Wu of Zhou cracked the soil and sealed off the frontier, the princes got the land with a radius of only a hundred miles, the duke of Bopi seventy miles, and the viscount and baron fifty miles. At that time, King Wu called For Wu Bopi, he is Bopi Jue. Enjoying seventy miles of land. Now only the newly built Wudu has nine miles and seventy-two steps from Lumen to Loumen, and ten miles and seventy-five steps from Pingmen to Shemen. How many capitals can a large country accommodate? Why did Wu become larger from a small state? Isn’t it related to the results of victories and captures? Besides, in the past two hundred years, there have always been five hundred wars, big and small, right? Chu has annexed more than 20 vassal states In the forty-three years of Duke Huan of Qi's generation, there were thirty-five states in the country. Countless princes have lost their country! Who in the world does not know what is going on? The wars have been fought for years, iron and blood fights, Sun Wu looked at the strategies of ancient and modern warfare As for the tactics of war, you should think about them day by day, dream about them at night, work hard, and if you have a little bit of experience, General Fugai will give you a lot of advice."

Fugai said with a smile: "Changqing can be said to have millions of armored soldiers in his chest. To tell you the truth, when Fugai read Sun Tzu's art of war, Wei Bian broke down. I am sincerely impressed. Mr. Changqing, you and I are both daring Unrestrained person, my husband probably sees that you are out of work here, and intends to invite you—" "what?" Fu Gai took Sun Wu's hand with a smile, and stroked it up and down, making Sun Wu itchy and uncomfortable.Fugai said: "Please, Changqing, condescend to come to Fugai's house to live temporarily, or just ask for advice. I don't know what to do?"

"No." "Fugai can guarantee that you have a car to go out and fish to eat, and Changqing can devote himself to writing the art of war. Why not do it?" "Thank you, General, for your kindness. Sun Wuxu will wait for the king to summon you." "Okay then," Fugai said boldly, "Fugai should do his best to recommend it!" "Thank you again, General Fugai." Fugai took Sun Wu's hand again, and this time he patted him gently up and down: "Master, you will be distinguished among all the nobles in the future, so don't dare to forget Fugai, huh? Haha, just kidding. Just kidding. In the future I will often come to ask for advice, and Fugai will leave here—God bestows Sun Wu to the Wu Kingdom, and the prosperity of the Wu Kingdom is just around the corner!"

This easy-going, smiling general is the first bosom friend Sun Wu has met since he arrived in Suzhou. Although Bo Pi didn't come to visit, he sent someone to send some wine, meat and tea to show his intimacy. There is also a "confidant", who is a beauty. Dish concubine. On this day, after dark, Concubine San covered herself tightly, led by a maid, and quietly came to Sun Wu's residence.As soon as she opened the "package", Sun Woo was taken aback. "Sun Wu didn't know that the princess was coming—" "I'm here to ask Mr. Sun, don't be polite."

"Princess, please teach me?" Sun Wu looked suspiciously at the favor of the great king Helu, his bright eyes and bright teeth made his small room suddenly bright and brilliant.Concubine San's face was slightly paler, not as radiant and radiant as Concubine Mei's.But it was this pale and sickly appearance that gave it an indescribable charm. "Why? Could it be that the princess is interested in the art of war, or is it whimsical to lead the two armies to fight?" "It's more elusive than the situation in front of the two armies. As a last resort, I came to ask Mr. Yu for advice. A few days ago, I was in the farmhouse of Luofu Mountain and heard Mr.'s eloquence. I knew that only Mr. can save me."

Saying that, Concubine San's eyes were filled with watery things, and she actually wanted to kneel down and beg.Sun Wu hurriedly opened his hands: "Princess, please, Wangfei, please, I wonder what Sun Wu can do for you?" Concubine San asked the maid to step back. "Sir, the little girl came from a humble background, and she came to Gusu from Qi State in the midst of war and chaos." "A native of Qi? So, Sun Wu is fortunate to be from the same hometown as the princess." "Mr. Sun should save me all the more. Once the little girl was elected to the king's side, she didn't dare to ask for great fortune and honor, but only asked for the king's mercy. Unexpectedly, Concubine Mei has long sleeves and is good at dancing, and won the favor of the king and the prince. The little girl endured all this. When Luofu Mountain came back from hunting, the prince became angry with the little girl for no reason. Later, the king abandoned me in the Nagato Palace. It was rare to see the king. On that day, the king Xu was Feeling compassionate, I came to Nagato. How dare the little girl accidentally serve her? However, Concubine Mei deliberately played the bells and chimes, and the king heard the melodious sound, and left me again... The little girl guarded the Nagato Lonely lamp, listening to the night rain beating the plantains, listening to the autumn wind sweeping the phoenix trees, weeping sadly. Recently, heartache attacks have occurred from time to time, sooner or later, either she was pissed to death by Concubine Mei, or killed by the prince, or was left in the cold by the king. Nagato died alone. On that day, the prince asked Mr. Sun to test his sword. In a critical moment, Mr. Sun's words saved the day. Please give me a plan to save the little girl."

Compete for favor? Doo Yeon? Concubine San's appearance is indeed pitiful. She condescended to call herself a "little girl". But your strategy of governing the country and the army, can it only be used for the fighting skills of the little girls in the harem? Sun Tzu sneered. Consort S: "Sir, what are you laughing at?" Sun Wu: "Princess, please forgive me that Sun Wu is from the mountains. He really doesn't understand the harem drama at all, and he can't teach you good strategies, so he can't help you. It's inconvenient for the princess to come to Sun Wu at night. Please respect yourself. Please drive back to the palace." Intentionally avoid? Get rid of the harem battle? Avoid entanglement? Sun Wu stood up, as if to see off the guests. Concubine San burst into tears, her appearance was very moving. Sun Wu was a little anxious: "Princess, why are you crying? Don't cry here! The tears of a princess can move the king's heart. What's the use of crying here? Please go back to the palace." Concubine San: "Mr. Sun won't save me?" Sun Wu: "Sun Wu has nothing to do." Concubine San: "Mr. Sun is afraid of being implicated?" Sun Wu: "I have never lived with the princess, so what is the relationship? The princess went back to the deep palace, and Sun Wu wandered in the world of mortals. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other." Concubine San: "Mr. Sun has a heart of stone!" Sun Tzu: "Yes. His heart is like iron." Concubine San: "Are you——watching the weak woman die in Nagato?" Sun Wu laughed: "Why did the princess say that? The princess repeatedly said the word 'death', not because she didn't care about life, and you are proclaiming death to survive!" Concubine San was taken aback.The tears stopped, and the watery eyes flickered. He bowed deeply: "Thank you, Mr. Sun, for teaching me how to strategize." "What did Sun Tzu teach you? Didn't say anything." "The little girl bids her farewell." "Please." Concubine San repacked herself, got up and left immediately, walking briskly, blending into the night in an instant. Finally got rid of this princess! Sun Tzu smiled bitterly. Sun Tzu sat blankly.The late autumn wind slipped in through the open door, blew out the candlelight, and the room became dark in an instant.There is only a narrow moonlight lying inside and outside the door.The darkness is like water suddenly flooding up, and the moonlight is like a dead snake in the water.Sun Wu didn't ask Tian Di to light the lamp again.What are you doing with the lights on?His heart is as lost and lost as this boundless autumn night.He suddenly felt idle and at a loss, and Qin Shu didn't bother to move.All of a sudden, the passion of pouring blood and blood on the bamboo slips was gone.He designed and imagined a majestic and grand life for himself, but now it seems so slim.He rushed from Qi State to Wu State in order to display his talents. He dedicated thirteen chapters of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" to strengthen the country and govern the army, but he was "hanged" in the air.He never expected that the art of war strategy could only be used to fight for favor among the harem fans.He didn't want to admit this fact, and he didn't want to give advice to Concubine San.He thought that he had not yet been used by the King of Wu, if he accidentally fell into the vortex of fighting in the harem, it would be very troublesome and terrible.He used some ambiguous words and was eager to get rid of Concubine San, but Concubine San thanked her devoutly and left.He felt very lamentable and pathetic that his strategy was only based on these trivial women's fighting skills. The door is closed. The autumn wind came to an abrupt end. It's a silk girl. Silk Girl didn't bother him, and she didn't even come to light the lamp. Just because his heart, his affection, and his love are all spread out on the bamboo slips, the silk girl who was originally dull has become completely cold and indifferent emotionally recently.He thought that he should give Silk Girl some tenderness.He thought that he should go back to Luofu Mountain to farm, irrigate the garden, and let the grain ferment in the winery, just like the people in the world.Or, like a warrior who wants to leave, chop off his hands, kill his wife, bleed, die, and be a common man, maybe he will feel better. No. He almost yelled. He sat for a long time, and then fell asleep at his desk in the study with all his clothes on. Silk Nu quietly covered him with a dress, waking him up. "Oh, am I—asleep?" "Fell asleep." "You should wake me up and go to sleep in the room, don't you know how cold it is in autumn night?" "So I added clothes to my husband." "lady!" He hugged Mrs. Silk girl lay obediently in his arms, like a sheep, and said: "Changqing, Silk girl knows that you are suffering, maybe we should go back to Luofu Mountain. No matter what happens, Changqing, you will Don't get angry, just let nature take its course, everything is God's will." God willing?God's will is to make him want to get angry and have nowhere to vent! Perhaps it was God's will that the strategy Concubine San obtained from Sun Wu was put into practice.On this day, King Helu was in a good mood and invited her to have a banquet with Concubine Mei.Speaking of banquets, it was as simple as ever, except for wine and side dishes, there were only finely sliced ​​and steamed fish.During the banquet, Concubine Mei smiled happily, Concubine San frowned and remained silent.He Lu drank wine glass after glass, accompanied by two concubines, with a big appetite.Concubine Mei was considerate, so He Lu gave her a whole fish.Concubine San called "King" twice in a row, and He Lu conveniently gave her the half of the fish that was left to eat.This is a trivial matter, but one is that it has been pent up for too long, and the other is that there is nothing to do, and the concubine made a big fuss, and she shed tears because of the unfair distribution of the fish. She left the table and ran back to Nagato Palace, tore a white silk ribbon and wanted to hang himself. Before "suicide", she cried and wrote two sentences on the bamboo slips: "If you are born, you can't serve the king, and if you die, you will be a fish; if you die, you will be a fish, and you will warm your belly..." Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Consort Sing The incident made a great deal of noise, and a court lady had already reported it to the king.He Lu quickly spit out the fish and rice in his mouth, and rushed to Nagato Palace.Concubine San put the white silk around her neck when she heard the sound of the king approaching. He Lu pushed open the door, shocked. He Lu personally hugged Concubine San who was hanging on the white silk belt, and while stroking Concubine San's chest, couldn't help crying, and kept calling, "My concubine, my concubine, why bother!" Concubine San's breath was swimming in her mouth, and it took a long time for her to even out.This is what Sun Wu said, "Show death to survive". Fortunately, He Lu was agile, otherwise it would not be "Show death", but a real death.Only then was Concubine San able to express her feelings, and presented the last poem written on the bamboo slips to the king. As Sun Wu said, "The tears of a concubine can move the heart of a king." It is really unacceptable to be a fish and commit suicide.”Out of pity, He Lu ordered people to throw all the cut fish left over by the chef into the moat, as a warning, and to show that he valued his concubine's heart.Unexpectedly, some of the scallops were alive, and they looked like flounder.The difference is that the flounder only has one eye, and they swim in pairs to be considered binocular, flounder.This fish has two eyes, and they are all on one side.The people in Gusu City spread the news, and they named this kind of fish, "Wang Can Yu", and some people called it "Wang Yu Yu". Concubine San has regained Helu's favor. Concubine San and Concubine Mei each get half of the favor. No one knew that this matter had something to do with Sun Wu. Concubine San quietly sent someone to send a fox fur coat and dried fish to express her gratitude. While looking at the remnant fish cooked by the silk girl, Sun Wu tapped the pottery containing the fish: "Is this what Sun Wu earned from his military strategy? Can Sun Wu's strategy and keeping a low profile can only be exchanged for a few fish?" He felt that the fish was stuck in his throat and he could not swallow it or spit it out. Of course Concubine San’s reward was not only Qiu and Canyu, she was determined to give her younger sister Yiluo to Sun Wu as a concubine, fearing that Sun Wu would refuse, so she told the king and husband Gai about this kindness, and all of them applauded: "Wonderful. My concubine has eyesight. Sun Wu is young and heroic. Dr. Wu is amazed by the thirteen chapters on the Art of War. In the future, the widow will use him. But, who will tell Sun Wu this beautiful thing?" "Brother Wang, Husband would like to go to the beauty of adulthood." "Okay, let's say it was a gift from the widow." Sixteen-year-old Yiluo's fate was sealed in this way. Fugai smiles at the beauty of an adult. Fugai said, "Master, it looks rather deserted in your study." Sun Tzu: "I'm used to it." Fuga took Sun Wu's hand, and touched it meaningfully: "Fuga always feels that there are few people here." Sun Tzu: "Where? Not a lot." "One less beauty." Fugai smiled and narrowed his eyes. Sun Wu said solemnly: "No, no. Sun Wu is used to indifference. Isn't a woman with bright teeth and crescent eyebrows an ax for cutting down people's temperament? Isn't the fat, sweet and crispy delicacy a poison that rots people's internal organs?" "In that case, Fugai will give Changqing an axe, an ax that is extremely beautiful and young, please accept it with a smile, and Fugai will see if Changqing can resist it! Haha." "Let's ask General Fugai to keep it for himself, Sun Wu will take it." Fugai: "How can this be done? Changqing, to be honest, Fugai and Dr. Wu have repeatedly recommended the king, and asked the king to worship Sun Wu as a general. The king is already alive, but he is too busy to take care of it. The king feels very guilty. Mr. Yu Sun, after discussing with Brother Wang, Fugai remembered this beautiful thing. The beauty's name is Huan Yiluo, and she is twenty-eight years old. In fact, it was bestowed by the king. The king's order cannot be shirked." "Given by the king?" "Not only the beautiful woman Yiluo, but also silk and gold." "what!" "Who do you know this Yiluo is?" "Oh?" "Brother Wang's favorite concubine's younger sister!" Concubine Slave! Sun Tzu was almost furious. endure. Refusal is out of the question. The sixteen-year-old girl is surrounded by three layers of "escorts" behind her. The king's younger brother Huogai matched it, the king personally bestowed it, and it was the concubine's dedication.Princess' sister!In a hurry, Sun Wu became a relative of the king!However, Sun Wu couldn't accept the fact that he won the beauty first without leading the troops.He suddenly realized that he was entangled and tied by the ribbon of the harem. Is it a blessing or a curse?have no idea.His honor and disgrace may have to follow Concubine Sang's ups and downs, will the world still value his art of war?Also, what exactly does Concubine Concubine Marrying a Sister mean? gag him?Using his scheme?
