The King of Wu's attack on Chu was a major event in the Spring and Autumn Period. However, very few people knew that Xi Shi was the mastermind behind it. In order to weaken the strength of the State of Wu, the State of Chu and its countless people became sacrifices.
Coming out of the palace tent, Wu Zixu was depressed. He was heartbroken and resentful. He had no choice but to carry out the king's orders, reorganize the army, and rush to Chu.
At this moment, Yu Heng did not know if he had done the right thing. He kept his mouth shut. For a person who knew the outcome, there was a sense of guilt in his heart.
But at the same time, he also understood that the course of history could not be changed. It was just that he was deeply immersed in it, and he was more or less powerless.
"Big Brother Wu, look on the bright side. There are some things that cannot be stopped, so let nature take its course. After all, you have already worked hard.”Yu Heng quickly caught up with Wu Zixu and comforted him.
"Oh, right. Brother Yu, let's go persuade the king together.”When Wu Zixu saw Yu Heng, hope rekindled in his heart.
"Brother Wu, it's useless. You've followed the king for so many years, don't you know his temperament?”Yu Heng shook his head. He saw Wu Zixu's helplessness and the desolation of a general who had experienced hundreds of battles.
"Sigh, forget it. Let's leave it to fate. But Brother Yu, promise me that you will restrain the troops and not kill the people. They are innocent.”
"Alright." Yu Heng could not say much, but this was war. No one really cared about these. Even in the modern world, the westerners always said that things were good, but when they encountered a war, they would still kill.
Yu Heng walked to the entrance of the tent and saw a tall and beautiful figure standing outside the tent. He didn't need to think to know that in the army's tent, there was no one who was better than Xi Shi.
Yu Heng had mixed feelings about this smart woman. Although the beauty map clearly stated that she was his goal, he also felt that it was an extremely risky investment.
"Imperial Concubine, are you looking for me?”Yu Heng walked over with a smile.
"What do you think? I don't think there's anyone else who can make me wait in the cold wind other than you, Lord Yu.”When Xi Shi saw Yu Heng, her mood lit up, and she felt much better.
"Empress, you flatter me. I, Yu, am just a little loser. What virtue and ability do I have?”
"Loser? What do you mean?"
"Oh, hehe, that's my hometown dialect. It means an ordinary person.”
Xi Shi giggled when she heard that. She looked extremely beautiful. To be honest, such a fairy-like woman was pleasing to the eye no matter how one looked at her.
"Look at you, always able to say something new that makes people's eyes light up.”
"Is that so? It was the Empress who had good eyesight and saw through some of my traits, hehe.”
"Alright, let's talk about serious matters. Do you have any good ideas for attacking Chu this time?”
F * ck, so she's here to investigate. I was wondering why she was so kind to take the initiative to look for me? They all had their own plans.
"Do as the Empress says."
"Oh? Do you understand my thoughts? Looks like it really saves me a lot of trouble." Xi Shi was shocked, but she still appeared very calm. In a fight with a smart person like Yu Heng, she really had to hold back.
"Of course, I can still see through your little thoughts, but there are still many things to do in life. Why lock yourself in a cage?”Although Yu Heng did not say it explicitly, Xi Shi should be able to understand what he meant with her high IQ.
"This is my business, you don't need to interfere too much. I hope you lose the war against Chu, and Wu will be unable to extricate itself.”After Xi Shi finished speaking, her beautiful eyes were filled with love. Any man would be distracted by this peerless beauty's seduction technique. Fu Chai was a clear example. He was muddle-headed and wanted to attack Chu, but he was even plotted against by this woman behind his back.
"Since you have pushed me onto this path, then I have no way out. I have to move forward, so why must Your Highness force me?”Yu Heng knew that if he obeyed the other party, he would just be a chess piece in Yue Country's revenge plan. Even attacking Chu would be his last struggle.
"Lord Yu is too serious. I'm doing this for Lord Yu's own good. Personally, I don't want anything to happen to you. I hope you can plan for the long term.”
"I know. In other words, you still care about me, right? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will find out? It's a capital crime for me." Yu Heng joked.
"Is that so? I can't see that you're taking the king seriously.”
"Hehe, in my eyes, the Empress is the most beautiful. Of course, I can only place a beautiful woman in my eyes, right?”Unknowingly, Yu Heng's words were somewhat frivolous, but when he saw that there were only two people around, he did not take it to heart. However, his words had already begun to be rooted in Xi Shi's heart.
"I also hope that fate will come soon, but you know my secret. Sometimes, I can't help myself. My lord is still suffering in the capital, and I'm very uneasy.”Sorrow welled up in Xi Shi's heart, and she lowered her head dejectedly.
Wu Zixu and Xi Shi each served their own master. Yu Heng could see it clearly, but he did not interfere in it, so he was relaxed and satisfied.
The next day, the army set off. They did not return to the State of Wu, but directly rushed to the State of Chu. On the way, Yu Heng learned that the State of Chu had more than a hundred cities, large and small, and its troops were scattered, which was beneficial to the State of Wu. If they could make use of the blitzkrieg during World War II, the effect should be obvious. If they waited until the Chu Country gathered their forces to fight, it would obviously be disadvantageous to the Wu army that was attacking the Chu Country from afar.
Just as he was feeling troubled, Mi Ya arrived quietly.
Yu Heng slapped his head fiercely and thought to himself," How could he forget about Mi Ya when he had a living map? Ever since the battle of Jingshui, she had been following him.
"Mi Ya, what do you think about the King's attack on Chu this time?”Yu Heng did not directly say his thoughts, but probed the other party's heart in advance.
"Master's meaning is this servant's thoughts. I have no objections. I will follow Master for the rest of my life and serve him.”Mi Ya lowered her head and responded softly.
In the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, there was a rule that those who surrendered would be severely punished or even executed. Therefore, following Yuheng was the best choice for Mi Ya.
Yu Heng nodded and asked softly,""Then are you willing to help me?"
Mi Ya nodded. Her watery eyes were filled with determination. In her eyes, the man in front of her was indeed a man worth following. The feelings in her heart spread, but she kept them deep in her heart. The feeling of inferiority filled her entire body.
"It's been hard on you. If you're unwilling, you can tell me anytime. I won't make things difficult for you.”Yu Heng reminded gently.
Unexpectedly, her kind concern had completely broken the heart of an ignorant girl. Mi Ya hugged Yuheng in front of her without caring about anything else. Tears streamed down her face as she cried,""Master, I'm willing. Even if I have to die for you, I won't hesitate.”
'F * ck! If I remember correctly, Mi Ya surrendered because she was afraid of death. Now, she's willing to do what she's afraid of for me. Could it be?'
Yu Heng didn't dare to continue thinking. If such a beautiful thing happened in the 21st century, wouldn't those materialistic women die of shame? F * ck.
