Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-Two

Waking up in the morning, the sky was twilight, and Fu Chai was washing his clothes. As soon as he appeared in the palace courtyard, a man in black stood there and asked loudly, "Fu Chai! Do you dare to forget Gou Jian's revenge for killing his father?" Fu Chai immediately cupped his hands respectfully and earnestly, and replied through gritted teeth: "Don't dare to forget for a moment." It's like this every day, or it's like this all the time, prompting and answering.Since Fu Chai returned to Gusu with the defeated army led by Li Li, he fixed two men in black to stand in the courtyard in turn and "pin" them there. Gou Jian's revenge for killing his father.This is not a simple form, and it is definitely not for the officials and generals in the court. This is actually Fu Chai's inner monologue, inner anger and inner driving force.Such a method is also a sign to the men, women, old and children in Wu Guoguo that no one is allowed to forget the hatred of the country and the family, and no one dares to forget it.No matter how much time has passed, Fu Chai will let the hatred between Wu and Yue take root, germinate, and grow leaves.He wants to involve the whole country, the whole army, and the whole people in the war of revenge and annihilation of Yue. After destroying the Yue Kingdom, which stands shoulder to shoulder with Wu State in the south, he can go north to attack Qi, Jin, and rule the world.

Based on such a short-term goal and lofty fantasy, he returned to Gusu and ascended the throne of king.The most important thing is two things. The first is the national mourning, so that tens of thousands of people will build a luxurious Helu mausoleum, and prepare to send his father to the cemetery; the second is to reorganize his family for revenge and hegemony. strength.Although Fu Chai's nature is brutal, wild, violent, and arrogant, even though Fu Chai is easily influenced by prejudice and slander, he will never kill veterans for no reason by wearing a royal robe.It's not that he cares about what the doctors and generals think or say. The root cause is that as a king, if he changes his position, he must use another vision and mind to examine the important officials around him, which ones can be used and which ones should be used. If you don't want to use it, you have to use it, which ones you need to use slowly, which ones need to be put on a bridle, which ones are used for the brain, and which ones are used for the limbs. If only the skull is needed, of course he will not be soft-hearted, just take it. .In fact, for people who only seek official positions, non-blood relations will also have this "inheritance", not to mention that Fu Chai started prenatal education from his mother's womb?He asked Wu Zixu to continue to be the prime minister of the state of Wu and assist him in handling military and political affairs; he entrusted Bo Pi with the title of senior official and a pedestrian in charge of the court's internal affairs and foreign affairs;For all officials, big and small, Fu Chai re-identified them all, tirelessly detailing them and tirelessly.He has to look over the appointment of Sergeant Sima, who is in charge of the army with 25 people for each "two"; he wants to have a general hearing about the person's place of origin, family background, and sergeant sergeant who is in command of four "two" with a total of 100 soldiers. history and war experience.

As for Sun Wu, Fu Chai had to visit the mansion in person.As a king, it was very embarrassing for him to be so condescending, according to his nature. He still bit the bullet and went. His father, Wang Helu, often went to Sun Wu's mansion in a subdued manner.Fu Chai was different, for a short distance in the city, he rode in a chariot suit, served men and court ladies, and swaggered through the city in a mighty manner, which caused a sensation in the whole of Gusu: the new king Fu Chai went to visit the general Sun Wu in person. Ten feet away from Sun Wu's mansion, the attendants began to convey Fu Chai's majesty and whereabouts. "Your Majesty is here—" One sound followed another, shaking all the way to the inner hall of Sun Wu's mansion.

Sun Wu went out in a hurry and knelt down to receive him with great gifts from the emperor and his ministers. Fu Chai got out of the car and said: "Ai Qing, please get up", and while speaking, he opened his hands far away, and he would never go to help him personally like his father and king.His "kindness" is always restrained. The monarchs and ministers sat down in the mansion. Fu Chai sat there with his arms stretched out to support his knees, and the boss looked at the general whom the former king ordered him to pardon for life with a smile, waiting for Sun Wu to speak.

Sun Wu: "Sun Wu doesn't know what to do and dares to ask the king to come. He is really terrified." "Haha, the general is an important minister of the former king, so I should naturally visit the mansion. The general's merits and virtues are well known in my heart." This implies that Fu Chai doesn't mind what is "suspected" or not "suspected". Sun Wu: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for caring about your subjects." Fu Chai: "The widow inherits my father's foundation, and I should have hosted a banquet for the important officials in the court, so as to clean up the bad luck of the first officer Li and the generals. Unfortunately, my father passed away on a crane. Now it is the national mourning period. The general knows that it is necessary to avoid banquets and dances."

Sun Wu: "Of course. During the reign of the late king, he always looked up to Sun Wu. He talked about national policy all night in the palace, and asked each other in the military tent. He often traveled in the same car, lived in the same bed, and ate with the same table. The late king knew Sun Wu best. Now that the former king has passed away, I am so sad that I can't even eat, and any banquet is tasteless." Fu Chai: "So I brought some fresh fruits to share with the general. Come, present them." Fu Chai gave an order, and eight maids in white skirts and a little powder and daisy presented them with fruit plates, and waited beside Fu Chai and Sun Wu respectively.

Fu Chai said: "Although they are only some fruits, they are also rare in the state of Wu. Most of them are produced in the country of Manjing in the south and the state of Yue. They are tributes offered by King Yun of Yue often alive. I asked someone to bring them from the ice room. My father From now on, I only eat fruits from the Yue country, and the general must know the intention." "The subject knows." "Tell me." "Your Majesty, I'm afraid he wants to eat the entire Yue Kingdom?" "Well, almost." "It's just a country of Yue, and the king may not necessarily feel full."

"So--" "Then there are apples and pears grown in the Penglai Xianshan in the Qi State, and further down, it's time to pick the peaches and chestnuts from the trees in the Jin State. This is the third gong and drum of the King in the future. I don't know if I guessed it right. " Fu Chai laughed loudly, and even called out, "Aiqing, please taste the loquats and sweet oranges from the Yue Kingdom first. Aiqing must still remember that at the banquet where you worshiped the general, your father used oranges to talk about state affairs. At that time , the widow is still young, wow, haha..."

Sun Wu took a bite of the loquat and spat it out again. Fucha: "What's wrong with Aiqing?" Sun Wu: "Pick the fruit when it's still ripe. It's astringent and sour. Don't say you can't swallow it. I'm afraid your teeth will be sore, and you will have diarrhea, which will hurt your vitality." Fu Chai's face darkened. He knew that Sun Wu was not talking about fruit, but about his national policy. Fu Chai suddenly shouted to his attendants, "Who picked the fruit?" Immediately, all eight court ladies knelt at Fu Chai's feet, trembling: "Little girl deserves death" "Your Majesty, forgive me..."

Fu Chai sneered: "How dare you use some sour things to perfuse this widow, what face will I have in front of General Sun? Push it out and behead it!" Sun Wu hurriedly stopped him, stood up and saluted, "Don't be angry, my lord, it's because I have a bad appetite, it's me..." Fu Chai let out a "huh" and waved his sleeves. The eight court ladies hurriedly withdrew. Fu Chai said: "The widow has a very good appetite, and can eat any kind of fruit." Sun Wu: "How dare a subject compare to the king?" Fu Chai said again: "General, please pick a few to taste." Then, he chewed the loquat and said, "I really don't know the general's taste. Do you like sweet or sour?"

Sun Wu: "Everything has a degree. Excessive sweetness and excessive sourness are not good for the spleen and stomach. I still like my own vegetable melon at the foot of Luofu Mountain." Fucha looked at Sun Wu in surprise.Sun Tzu looked peaceful. Fu Chai said: "In this case, the widow can entrust Wuxing County and Luofu Mountain to Aiqing Shicai. General Sun, it is not easy for you to be a soldier for ten years. You assisted your father in creating the foundation of the Wu Kingdom. Now I want you to work hard for me. I feel really sad. Uneasy. But what can I do? The blood of the father and the king must not be shed in vain, the hatred of the country and the family must be avenged, the country of Yue must not be destroyed, and the hegemony of the Central Plains must be pursued. When I first entered the Great Treasure, the first thing I did was to teach The important ministers of the father came to pay a special visit to the general. General, general! You and my monarchs and ministers work together, why worry about not destroying Yue, cutting down Qi, and breaking Jin? The general is a great responsibility from heaven, you and my monarchs will comfort the spirit of the father in heaven together. Fu Chai thought about it again and again, my father asked me to pardon the general for the rest of my life, the general has done so well, so why is there no pardon or not? Fu Chai has not experienced much in life, so he has to rely on the general!" Fu Chai's words were pouring out, and he spoke very excitedly. Sun Wu listened with a calm expression. This annoyed Fu Chai, but he knew he couldn't get angry, at least not right now. Fu Chai: "General Sun, I want to rebuild your mansion and build a villa for you in Luofu Mountain. I want you to be the highest official in charge of Wu's navy and army. What do you think, General?" Sun Wu smiled lightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Sun Wu only wants a vegetable field under Luofu Mountain." "you?!" "As long as there is a vegetable field under Luofu Mountain, this life is enough!" "Are you going to abandon the widow?" "Sun Tzu is already exhausted." "Are you holding grudges against the widow?" "The king's reward is enough to make Sun Wu grateful." "What exactly do you want?" "Hiding in the countryside, wandering in the mountains and forests." "Didn't you think," Fu Chai's voice suddenly calmed down, and he smiled, "If my widow doesn't allow you to go to a secluded garden, you won't be able to leave this mansion for half a step?" "I can recuperate in the mansion, but what good will this do for the King?" "What if the widow punishes you for disobeying the king's order?" "Sun Wujin does not seek fame, and retreat does not avoid crime." There was a moment of silence. Fucha sighed.His disappointment and sense of loss are real. "General, are you really unwilling to conspire with the widow to conquer Yue and avenge Goujian?" "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Sun Wu has seen all the battlefields in the world, and marveled at the frequent battles among the princes. For a piece of jade, for a horse, he asked his master to question his sins and kill them. It is really sad. Huan Naihe, I really don't want to see conquests and slaughters anymore." Fu Chai sneered: "Then, what is the explanation for the thirteen chapters of the general's "Sun Tzu's Art of War?" "The essence of Psalm 13 is—" Fu Chai: "Needless to say, I know that the general's art of war is a simple talk." "May your majesty listen to Sun Tzu's Art of War about the principles of winning without fighting and war with caution?" Fu Chai became impatient: "The general can disarm and return to the field." As he said that, Fu Chai walked out of the door. When he reached the door, he turned around and said, "The general is a person who likes to dream. Today, the princes of the world, who can stop fighting? Who can stop the war? Who can stop the war? The general can Go back to Luofu Mountain for a few days and live in the countryside temporarily. I don’t know when I will call the general to listen to the general’s opinion. Go, I will build another property for you in Luofu Mountain. If the general goes to another country-help others to be prestige , then I ask you to forgive me for being ruthless, and get up and drive back to the palace!" Fu Chai rushed away angrily. He was very disappointed and angry.His understanding of Sun Wu's retreat is: Sun Wu hated him and refused to cooperate; what he worried about Sun Wu most was fleeing to other countries and seeking refuge in enemy countries; his strategy for Sun Wu was house arrest, which of course was the best solution.He was the first king at this time, so he could not throw Sun Wu into prison casually, nor could he take off Sun Wu's head, although he wanted to do so very much.However, the result of doing so will make the old kings and old ministers feel sad, everyone will be in danger, everyone will betray their relatives, and at the same time, they will not be able to thank the people of the world.His foundation is not yet solid, he has only been on the throne for a few days, he is like pottery, which has not dried, let alone been calcined by fire.He wanted to reach the north, south, west and east city gates and surrounding towns outside Luofu Mountain, and general Sun Wu was not allowed to travel, and the land was designated as a prison.Let Sun Wu die of old age in the mountains, die of old age!he thought through gritted teeth. He returned to Wei Palace. He walked quickly across the courtyard. In the courtyard, when the man in black saw Fu Chai, he immediately asked dutifully: "Fu Chai, do you dare to forget Gou Jian's revenge for killing his father?" "I-don't-dare-forget!" Fu Chai straightened his throat and roared desperately. The people in the palace were all terrified. Yiluo didn't know what the new king Fucha was talking about with Sun Wu, and was especially worried that something might happen, so he kept eavesdropping nervously behind the curtain. As soon as Fucha left, Yiluo tiptoed and quietly came behind Sun Wu. Yiluo joyfully hugged Sun Wu from behind with her soft arms. Sun Wu stood there motionless. Yiluo: "General, we are going back to Luofu Mountain, we really are going back to Luofu Mountain!" "..." Yiluo pressed her face tightly against Sun Wu's back, feeling the warmth, solidity, strength, reliability and happiness that only she could feel.Her heart has flown to Luofu Mountain, which she likes, where she can live freely.She murmured: "General, do you know the poem on the Internet? 'Picking kohlrabi, picking it up with thin words--' It's about picking plantain seeds in the bright field of flowers and plants, and holding it in your hand." Clothes lapel, tuck the lapel to your belt, and pick in handfuls, pick, pick up... When we arrive at Luofu Mountain, I want you to accompany me to pick plantain seeds, ah no, I tell you to look at Yiluo Picking plantain seeds..." There is a huge contrast between Yiluo's overjoyed and Sun Wu's heavy heart.Sun Wu tried his best not to hurt Yiluo, but silently moved the two hands around his waist away. Yiluo: "What? General, are you unhappy?" Sun Wu sighed, his eyes were blank. The old soldier often hunched over and came kicking and stomping. The old man's eyesight was dim, his movements were sluggish, and he couldn't speak clearly: "General Wu is going back to Mount Wu, and those tortoise bastards are left behind. His people are still nonsense that Mrs. Shao is a spy, the son of a bastard raised by these mules! General, you can’t go. I know that Wu Guo can lead troops to fight, one is a general, and the other is Wu Zixu! I lost two My son. My son is not afraid of death. General, you have to go back to the mountain. I, Chang, have experienced life and death several times. General, you can’t leave. Wu Guo can lead the army to fight..." Sun Wu frowned: "Okay, okay, Ah Chang, stop talking!" "General, you can't disarm and return to the fields!" "All right!" Yiluo hurriedly helped the old soldier out: "Father Ah Chang, don't you want to take a bath, the water is ready." It has been eight years since he left the battlefield, and the veteran often still feels that he is not clean. Yiluo turned back: "General, don't you want to go back to Luofu Mountain? If there is something unpleasant, tell it, and Yiluo can share his worries." Sun Tzu said with a wry smile: "There are also two lines of poems that say yes—those who know me say that I am worried; those who don't know me say what I want!" The silk girl came and stood at the door: "Will the general listen to me? The silk girl followed the general from Qi to Wu, from Luofu Mountain to Gusu, and never complained. If the general now talks about going to the ends of the earth, I will I will leave immediately. Today, the general said that he would go back to Luofu Mountain, and the girl was overjoyed. What is better than a life of indifference and tranquility? Living in Luofu Mountain is like what people say is a small country with few people. , eat well, wear beautifully, live comfortably, and enjoy the customs. Without any expectations, you will reach the realm of happiness. When the general returns to Luofu Mountain, everything will go with the flow, and he will not take credit for his merits. He is the one with the most meritorious service! I wonder if what the silk girl said is right?" Hearing what the silk girl said, Sun Wu was filled with emotion: "My lady said this, wouldn't Sun Wu be like the morning fungus who doesn't know the four seasons, who lives in the morning and dies in the evening? Isn't he like the chilling cicada who doesn't know the spring and autumn, who live in spring and die in summer, and live in spring in summer?" Is death the same? Isn’t Sun Tzu alive the same as dead?” Silk Girl: "Then, is the general still going to fight and kill?" Yiluo: "The general can calm down in Luofu Mountain and write about the art of war!" "Okay, okay, don't talk anymore! Tell me to be quiet for a while!" His heart was very restless, contradictory, and heavy.He has already decided to disarm and return to the fields, and return to Luofu Mountain, but this decision is really a painful choice for him.At the beginning, he dedicated the thirteen chapters of the Art of War to King Helu of Wu with great enthusiasm; he performed a test of art of war on Gusu Terrace with great vigor and killed the second concubine; The division went out to fight, broke through the Chu and entered the Ying, now, he is in the prime of his life, but he has to disarm and return to the field, leaving the army.This is a last resort. After repeated thinking, looking back at the past and predicting the future, he saw soberly and wisely that with the end of the Helu era and Fucha ascended the throne, the "soldiers that surrender without fighting" he advocated are worth mentioning; "full struggle" Whether it is the strategy of "safety of the country and the whole army"; "cautious war", or "cultivation of Taoism and protection of the law", it will be difficult to realize.He Lu can be considered to be able to listen to loyal advice and advice, but most of them were when he first ascended the throne and did not dare to be arrogant.Fu Chai is quite different. He was wild, arrogant and self-willed since he was a child.Fu Chai has clearly stated that he is living in a "dream".The addition of Fucha's royal robe has already confirmed the trilogy of conquering Vietnam and Qi and conquering Jin, which means the beginning of the era of Fucha's arbitrariness and militarism. Fu Chai reused him and kept him for only one purpose, that is, to make him fight, fight, fight!He was tired of war, and he didn't want to see bloodshed and fighting anymore. He had no choice but to walk away, protesting against wars that occurred for no reason and wars that only satisfied the king's ambitions and hobbies by rejecting wars. The distortion and dismemberment of his thirteen Art of War. Is he successful?Still a failure?His heart was full of melancholy. At night, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.At three o'clock, he quietly put on his clothes and walked out of the mansion. Here we come to Gusu Terrace again, this place is closely connected with his destiny, this is the place where he started his career as a general; this is the place where his dreams were cast; this is where he is full of passion and heartbroken The place, when he was about to leave, how could it affect his soul and thoughts so much?he does not know.What exactly is he going to prove at Gusu Taiwan?What are you looking for?What have you lost?He doesn't know either. A wordless farewell? He silently paced on the Gusu Terrace, as if he was measuring the length of the Gusu Terrace.He stopped, and the moonlight fused him with Gusu Terrace.Oh, in the sky, there is a half moon curled up in the wind haze, there will be wind tomorrow, he thought.Squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, Taihu Lake shattered half of the moon, swallowing those white spots.Even farther away, I am confused and can't see anything clearly. The mountains, rivers, rice fields, lakeshores, and villages are all lost. There is a lone goose calling in the sky, but I don't know where the shadow of the goose is. Midnight, very cold... Someone coughed, who?It's Wu Zixu.This person did not approach, keeping a distance of three feet, and Sun Wu looked at each other on the Gusu platform in the night. "Are you really leaving?" Wu Zixu's voice was disturbed. "Yes, I really have to go." Sun Wu's voice was also low. "Can't you think about it any more?" "Don't say anything more." "But why didn't General Sun leave after suffering on this platform?" "Well, isn't that a crime escape?" "Since you are leaving, why did you come here in the first place, why did you have to go on stage to pay homage to the general?" "Since people are going to die after all, why do they have to live? Why make mother suffer?" "I know you're tired of war, so why bother writing "The Art of War" again?" "Without "Sun Tzu's Art of War", how would the world know that it is good to subdue the enemy without fighting?" "Who can order the princes of the world to lay down their axes and axes, and who can restrain the princes of all countries to never fight?" "So Sun Tzu is going to hide." "Should the general return to Luofu Mountain, or return to the dreamland you constructed yourself?" "Those who have dreams live, those who don't dream die." "In this way, you can just live your dream. Wu Zixu doesn't enter the house, doesn't kiss his wife, and trains his disciples day and night. He only wants to be worthy of the former king. He must avenge Goujian for the former king. In order to destroy the Yue Kingdom , Wu Zixu tasteless food, sleepless nights, where is there any dream? But Wu Zixu is alive, living on the battlefield!" "Can Wu Xiangguo listen to Sun Wu's words?" "..." "Sun Wu heard that when a war horse sleeps, it stands on three legs and can run at any time; when a bat sleeps, it hangs its claws and spreads its wings, and can fly away at any time; when a widower fish sleeps, its eyes are open; when a hedgehog sleeps, There are sharp thorns scattered all over his body. Wu Xiangguo, the new king is not as good as the previous king, there are many storms in the officialdom, so take care of yourself." "Wu Zixu has long put life and death aside." "Then, let's bid farewell... For many years, Sun Wu was fortunate to be recommended and assisted by Wu Xiangguo. Let's say goodbye today and part ways. I don't know when we will see you again? Please pay respects to Sun Wu, and Sun Wu will call you brother!" "Wu Zixu is not your elder brother!" Wu Zixu turned around and left without looking back. Only Sun Wu was left on the Gusu stage.He stood blankly on the desolate platform until the sky turned blue. For the funeral of the former king Helu, the entire city of Gusu was troubled from morning till night.Helu's mausoleum was outside Changmen in Gusu City. The funeral procession circled the city for a circle. The front team arrived at Changmen, but the rear team had not yet left the palace.The alleys were filled with haggard mourning clothes, which were covered in white flowers.Not counting the relatives in the king's "five clothes", there are 500 people who only pull the hearse "carrying the shackles". Pieces of cloth, the entire funeral, no one can tell how many tens of thousands of cloths were used.The funeral chariot was astonishingly large, the four wheels were shaped like a whole log, and the long shaft pierced through the stubborn wooden wheel.The funeral car is pressing on the ground.The funeral car is also called "phantom car", "phantom" means a big toad, and that car really looks like a big toad crawling.The inner and outer coffins are also different. There are three layers of coffins, and the decoration on each outer layer is so luxurious that it is difficult to describe them in detail. Layers together are called "willow", so the hearse is also called willow cart.Helu's coffin was surrounded by bushes on all sides, and the bushes closed on the top of the coffin, which looked like a roof from a close distance, but looked like a hill from a distance. There is a sending car behind the funeral car, which means gifts and sacrifices. The pigs, sheep, and fruits sacrificed to Helu are loaded on the sending car and sent to the cemetery.There were a total of seven fully loaded despatch vehicles, rumbling and crushing Gusu City.Helu's body had already smelled, so the hearse and the dispatch cart all buzzed and followed the swarms of flies, lingering and coming again. Fu Chai walked on foot behind the guard of honor, holding a banner for calling back souls, crying so much that his face was black.The generals and doctors behind him all mourned, lined up according to their salary, and walked alone.Afterwards, there were countless people holding the tombs that were about to be buried.Ming wares are also called alliance wares, which are cloth, jewels, jade wares, pottery wares, bronze wares, and halberds and shields, etc., to ensure that Helu can have enough food and clothing in another world, and can also conquer and fight.The most shocking thing is the terracotta figurines held by the living people in the funeral army. The terracotta figurines are also called "human-like". Seven, it means that He Lu took away one hundred and seventy-seven attendants from Yangshi at one time to take care of his old man's food and daily life.The viewers can't help but sigh: how majestic it is to live, how majestic it is to go to the cold side, and the blessings that have not been enjoyed while alive can be taken to the distant underworld to enjoy, after all, it is the king's home! The most exciting scene in the funeral procession is the 16 cranes walking leisurely and elegantly, proudly flapping their wings, singing and dancing.They don't care how sad and pitiful the deceased's death is, and they don't care how the deceased is respected as the king of a country, and they don't care how the new king who lost his father mourns, no matter at this moment, all the people in the Wu Kingdom will lose their heads because of a little joy. .As an exception, they are allowed to dance cheerfully and wear bright red "crowns" on their heads.The people in the city who had to wear white clothes and filial piety flocked to this part of the crane dance, watching with great interest, covering their mouths and no one dared to laugh, but their eyes showed unconcealable surprise, crowded, moved, followed run.Those cranes, the more people watch them, the more energetic they are, and the dancing postures are more moving. Behind the sixteen cranes, there was a sika deer, looking terrified, thinking of something, learning something, its innocent eyes were filled with tears, it stopped walking, and its body was hurt. Whip, and go forward again. This team of living people, dead people, dummies, and cranes and deer mixed together, from the time they got up early in the morning to worship, until they all arrived at the cemetery, the sun was already setting.The large group of people is not so much a funeral, it is better to say it is an exhibition of the rich, a display of prestige.After such a tour, it really makes people suddenly realize: No matter how sad and painful the living people are, it seems that death is not bad for the dead. Maybe it will bring blessings to another world and start all over again. , but I know how to enjoy myself better.It turns out that death is similar to traveling far away. In the cemetery, apart from those who mourned and those who visited, there were also two thousand disciples and lotus halberds who participated in the mourning. A grand funeral ceremony.Complicated and lengthy etiquette and etiquette. The first to die in the funeral procession was the sika deer. It was driven into the tomb passage, pressed into the pit in front of the tomb, and covered with a roof.No matter how much the deer puffed, it was far away from the strange bronze tomb-slayer on the other side.Afterwards, the terracotta figurines and artifacts fell into the tomb. The figurines had no sorrow, no worries, no cares, and they did not care about life or death.The climax was naturally when King Helu of Wu was put into the tomb, the entire funeral procession let out mournful mourning, and the sixteen cranes were also screaming in shock.Fu Chai knelt in front of the tomb, beating his chest and stamping his feet, wailing until he died, and the onlookers also became commotions.The commotion made the people who placed the coffin in a hurry, and finally put the coffin in the main room of the tomb, sprinkled the fried grains for the ants to eat, and covered the top of the tomb. Fu Chai stood up and turned to face the courtiers, common people and disciples attending the funeral.The face of the contorted and twitching puffy cyst looked terrifying.The eyes were red as if they were about to bleed. The funeral is not over yet, what is he going to do?Wu Zixu: "Your Majesty, what are you doing..." Bo Pi whispered: "I respectfully express my condolences..." Fu Chai ignored them and walked straight to the front of the two thousand disciples.The courtiers hurriedly parted to the two sides and made way.No one knew what the new king of Wu's plan was, and there was no sound in the cemetery. Fu Chai stopped in front of the disciples.His red eyes scanned the faces of the young disciples, looking up at the fluttering banners. He howled hoarsely: "Today... the late king was buried. Is the late king buried in peace? No, no, no—the late king wore armor all his life, fought north and south, and created the foundation of the Wu Kingdom. Bloody Li, the former king couldn’t close his eyes! Now that the father’s revenge has not been reported, how can I have the face to comfort my father’s spirit in heaven? The family enmity of the widow is the enmity of the country, and the enmity of Wu’s descendants. Fu Chai is here to swear to the Heavenly Alliance: If you live, you will fight with Shuzi Goujian to destroy the country of Yue; In a word, do you dare to fight?" Two thousand disciples said with one voice: "Dare!" "Do you dare to die?" "dare--" The crazy Fu Chai raised his voice, hissed and asked again: "Dare you dare? Answer the former king, answer the widow, answer the emperor and the earth!" This time it was the word "dare" that shook the mountains and the earth. Fu Chai's eyes were already filled with tears, he stepped forward a few steps, came to the front row of disciples, and pointed: "You, you, and you, you, stand up and come out." Some of the disciples he pointed to were passionate , Some were surprised, some were timid, and some were favored for some unknown reason, but none of these young soldiers with hairy lips dared to disobey the order given by the king himself, and they all came out and stood in a row, a total of thirty-six people. Suddenly he bowed his hands to them: "There is no joke in the army. Since you have answered the widow, dare to fight, dare to die, and dare to go with the former king, you will follow the former king now, to show the widow and the world. Look, Wu's army is unparalleled in the world! Parents, wives and children in your family, the widows will take care of them. Go, go, and die to show your will!" Everyone in the cemetery was stunned.Thirty-six young soldiers, it was like a dream, they did not expect to live well, and they died in an instant.Most of them even just heard clearly, and only figured out one thing: the newly ascended king told them to die, to accompany zombies, and to be zombies.How did all this come about and how did it go?How did the Great King Fucha turn this funeral into a swearing-in ceremony—no, a death-swearing ceremony?Is Fu Chai really bewildered by the desire for revenge and war, is he crazy?if?In the future, if Gou Jian is not dead, Fu Chai will die of anger, right?Who knows?Thirty-six young soldiers were stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the way they died—the cover on the top of the tomb was closed, and the entrance to the tomb had not been sealed. Entering from the entrance, there is a long tomb passage, and about that tomb passage is their home.Now, beside the dark entrance of the tomb, people are driving sixteen cranes into the tomb.The white crane with its wings clipped has nowhere to escape, it is going around in circles, stretching its neck for the last song, the cry of the crane has never been so shrill, sad and desperate like this moment.The sixteen white cranes screamed together, which was shocking.Before all the frisky cranes were stuffed into the grave, it was the turn of the thirty-six young soldiers.Their sergeant Sima Zhi Ge shouted "go", and some people collapsed all of a sudden, and those who collapsed were immediately dragged up, and followed the "team" to the grave.There are indeed those who move forward bravely, and there are indeed those who are full of tears, but no matter whether they are brave, cowardly, sad, nostalgic for the world of mortals, miss their loved ones, silently pray, or full of hatred, it is impossible to be allowed to stop and walk towards the grave at this moment actions. They, thirty-six, were swallowed by the dark tomb one after another.They immediately huddled together in the dark, people and people, people and cranes, huddled together.People outside could hear indistinct mixed human voices and crane calls, and then the entrance to the tomb was sealed by a huge stone slab.Perhaps, before the tomb is sealed with clay, the lives of the thirty-six young men curled up in the tomb passage will be over. Only they know the taste of being swallowed by the underworld, the pain of suffocation and the pain when they walk towards other people's tombs. Great grief.Human life is very fragile, and there is no sound in the grave. Fu Chai blushed again and said to Wu Zixu: "Master Wu, I ordered you to bring Sun Wu immediately." "My lord, why is this?" "Anyone who does not enmity with the Yue State is enmity with the widow!" "Your Majesty, Sun Wu has gone away last night. Sun Wu, who is reclusive in the mountains, is no longer Sun Wu, the general of yesterday. Why should Your Majesty bother about this?" With a grunt, Fu Chai knelt back in front of Helu Mausoleum, weeping bitterly... ... Sun Wu did indeed leave the night before the funeral of the late king Helu.It can also be said to have escaped. He knew that Ye Chang had many dreams, and he also knew that Fu Chai was dissatisfied with his seclusion. Fearing that something bad would happen again, he hurriedly took his family with him and left Gusu.He only brought letters, qin, sword and some old clothes, and almost all the pots, pots and bronze utensils were left behind.Now that he went to Luofu Mountain, he decided to live a life of mediocrity and poverty. The two carriages set off in the middle of the night and ran all the way in the twilight. The sky was twilight and they arrived in front of Luofu Mountain.Along the way, Sun Wu opened his eyes in a daze, without saying a word. No matter how far he was away from Gusu, he never felt relieved, but just depressed.Until the chariots and horses arrived in front of Luofu Mountain, the dark night withdrew away, but the sky was wider, the ground was wider, the trees were greener, and the fog was whiter. There were large patches of milk vetch, tender yellow rapeseed flowers, As soon as I saw it, many, many birds were singing and making noise, all of them were refreshing and seductive.At this time, the three children, Sun Chi, Sun Xing, and Sun Ming, the eldest was twelve years old, the second son was eight years old, and the youngest son was six years old, all jumped out of the car and ran with Yiluo.Na Yiluo, who is still like a naive little girl, is barefoot, holding her skirt with one hand, and her shoes with the other, posing on the ridge of the field, running with the children while turning her head to greet her. "Come on, general, come on!" Suddenly, Yiluo saw a shepherd boy and an old buffalo riding on the back of the buffalo.Yiluo has two children in her arms, the older one in the back is playing leisurely on a bull with Yiluo's waist in his arms. Sun Tzu's heart became a little brighter. Silk girl was crying, why? Tian Di, who was driving, said, "General, let's go home!" Sun Tzu burst into tears.He hurriedly wiped away his tears, not letting Silk Girl see.In front of the battle between the two armies, even though life and death were close at hand, he did not shed tears. On the Gusu stage, even though the ax was hanging above his head, he did not shed tears; what happened now?hi?Is it sad?Are you sighing that it has become easier now?Or did it suddenly get heavier?He couldn't tell himself.Maybe Tian Di is right, this is home, and now he is "going home", that is to say, he, the general of Wu, fought in blood and fire during the nineteen years of the reign of the late king Helu. A big circle was formed, and now it is back to the original place. Have you changed your mind? Are you old in your forties? So, the front is really your old nest, your destination, or your cemetery? The silk girl said, "Look, Changqing, how did you build the wall?" Sun Tzu let out an "ah". Looking from a distance, the "old nest" has changed.The bamboo fence and firewood gate in the past no longer exist, and have been replaced by a high stone wall.A wall stands between the mountains and rivers, which destroys the idyllic atmosphere and looks out of place.Of course, this must be the "grace" of King Fucha.说话间，车已到了高墙之下，孙武四下里看了看，到底是岁月沧桑，大模样还是那个家，细看不一样了。当年那绿荷摇曳的池塘，已经是个生满绿苔蒲草的死水潭了，水田里也不再生稻谷，只生着杂草，田埂也是轮廓不清了，看来，整治起来，还要费些时日。走进院子，倒是发现旧巢修缮过了，而且烟囱还举着乳白色的炊烟。院子里很干净的。菜畦还是菜畦，移种了些瓜菇幼苗。那口老井旁边，正有一老者用桔槔打水浇菜。 who is it? “颉乙！” 孙武喜出望外了。 颉乙放下桔槔：“老朽候将军多时了！” 孙武：“你怎知孙武将至？果然神算哪！” “神不神，你知，我知，天知，地知。”颉乙愈发表现得玄妙。颉乙与孙武在楚国旧战场游历时一别，八年过去了，颉乙除掉添了些许白发之外，神色却比当年还好。 孙武：“先生别来无恙？” 颉乙：“一人浪迹天下，全家不饿，倒也没病没灾的，这才可以在八年之后来同将军决一雌雄啊！” 孙武笑了：“好哇，你还惦记着那盘没下完的棋啊！” 说话间，漪罗，帛女和孩子们都跑到屋子里去了，少顷，漪罗又从屋内出来，兴高采烈地喊道：“将军，你看谁来了！” 声音没落，从屋子里走出一个抱着琴的人。这人须发皆白，骨瘦如铁，满脸矜持，见了孙武只笑不答话，空出手来在琴上一扫，“嗡”地一声，就算问候。 孙武又是一惊：“公孙尼子！” 公孙尼子又拂了一下琴，这回才哈哈大笑。 三个老朋友见了面，孙武心上的阴云这才飘然远去。公孙尼子说颉乙的神算这回不神了，前两日便说是孙武要回家来，今日才到。颉乙说既然不出三日，神还是神。孙武说，颉乙乃八年前的败将，今日前来复仇，恐怕败将毕竟是败将。说得颉乙性起，抓了棋子便要立即决出高下。公孙尼子连劝颉乙心平气和，先尝一尝他煮的黄粱米饭再做理论。 吃饭了。一餐充满乡情的“盛宴”。 北方的黄粱米饭，本地的茄子辣椒莴苣。无论颉乙，公孙尼子，还是孙武的家小，都吃得很香，唯独孙武吃不下去。 公孙尼子说：“长卿，难道还留恋那些富贵荣华么？都是身外之物。” 颉乙说：“公孙怎么这样说话？孙将军这叫做壮志未酬。” 帛女说：“让长卿随你们满天下走走，疏散疏散，百病皆无。” 孙武说：“只怕是软禁在此山中，夫差不会放我远走的。” 颉乙说：“罗浮山之大，什么样的鸟儿不可栖乐呢？鲲鹏扶摇而上八万里，斥翱翔只在蒿草灌木之间，只要有所期待，都是不能逍遥自得的。唉，长卿不思茶饭，颉乙的手段也只能治表，不能治里啊！可是，长卿的病还是要治的。漪罗，你且记下了，一日三次，水煎服——龙胆泻肝汤。” 吃罢了饭，公孙尼子说“改日再来为长卿解郁”，正要拉着颉乙告辞，田狄来报，说：“伯嚭大夫派的人到了，送了些绸缎玉器和银子来。”孙武冷笑一声说：“耳目跟得如此之快！告诉来人，孙武已经解甲归田，休要烦扰。”田狄问：“带来的东西怎么办？”孙武说：“还用问吗？带回去就是。”正说着，伯嚭派来的人已经把东西抬进院子，管事儿的向孙武打了一躬：“伯嚭大夫再三叮咛要小人来问安，问还缺不缺什么物件，将军还是把礼物收下吧，不然，小人无法回去交差。”孙武说：“田狄，把带来的东西隔墙扔将出去！”伯嚭的人还要力争，颉乙走上前来，一边把那人往外推，一边劝道：“好了，走吧，回去可对伯嚭大夫说，孙武是个不识抬举的山野村夫，不要再理会他！”
