Yu Heng smiled. From the current situation, the other party did not have any signs of making a move on him.
"General Xiang, I have to start with your descendants. According to my calculations, there is a man named Xiang Yu among your descendants. He is a peerless hero. During the time of the uprising, the entire land of China revolved around him.”Yu Heng did a flashback, and joy appeared on the other party's face.
"Hehe, Yuheng, are you joking? I, Xiang Rong, am not a three-year-old child. Do you think I can trust you to say such nonsense?”Xiang Rong was full of questions. He wondered if this Yuheng had an undeserved reputation. Now that he had fallen into his hands, he was telling these lies to please him. Was everything for the sake of survival?
"Hehe, the General's wife should be pregnant, right? Your son is going to name Xiang She? Not long ago, the King of Chu summoned you to discuss the matter of assisting the new king in governing the country, right?”Yu Heng's mind was trying his best to recall the events related to Spring and Autumn in the history books.
Xiang Rong was secretly shocked. How many days had it been? How did it reach the Wu Kingdom so quickly? Even if there were spies in the capital, the news would not spread so quickly.
At this moment, a terrifying thought came to his mind. Could it be that this Yu Heng really had extraordinary abilities?
"Alright, Yuheng, you don't have to say anymore. Tell me the purpose of your visit this time? As long as it's not a matter of principle, I can promise you.”Xiang Rong did not want to offend the person in front of him. According to the reports of the scouts, General Wu Yu Heng's background could not be investigated. The authorities of the Wu Kingdom said that he was a man from the sky and was mysterious and unpredictable.
"Hehe, what are principles? A wise man understands the times? Or are you blindly loyal to the end?" Yu Heng asked, but he was anxious in his heart. Seeing that the main force of the Wu army was about to arrive at Jingmen Pass, the situation would become even more complicated.
"I will not betray King Chu, even if I die in battle.”Xiang Rong's expression was solemn. Dying in battle for the Chu Country was his life's glory.
"Is he worth it? For the sake of his own interests, he had placed the entire Chu Country in a situation where the country was destroyed. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a fatuous ruler, and the dissatisfaction of his subjects increased sharply. Was such a person still worthy of being the king of Chu?”
"How dare you, Yu Heng. Don't be ungrateful. I can kill you at any time now. Don't be too arrogant.”Xiang Rong could not take it anymore and stopped the other party from continuing. That was treason and heresy. If it reached the ears of the King of Chu, it would be deceiving the king.
"How did Wu Zixu's family die back then? If they left, they would live. If they stayed, they would die.”Yu Heng pressed on step by step. Using a living example was more convincing.
Thinking of the Woo family, Xiang Rong could not help but sigh sincerely. He knew about this unjust case and had gone to the palace to plead for mercy, but in the end, he could not prevent the tragedy from happening.
"Don't mention it again. I won't do that. If I die, I'll die in Chu.”
"You may have misunderstood. We are only cleaning up the side of the king and getting rid of the treacherous officials around King Chu. We are returning a clean environment to Wu and Chu. We are not asking you to betray Chu.”Yu Heng promised. He changed his mind. Although Xiang Rong agreed with his statement, the root cause was treason. That was the red line of his personality.
"Eh? What do you mean? The matters of our Great Chu cannot be interfered with by the Wu Kingdom.”Xiang Rong was clearly unhappy. As a general, this foreigner in front of him was pointing fingers in front of him. It was somewhat humiliating to him.
"We won't easily interfere with other people's family affairs, but a traitor like Chu State has clearly hindered the interests of Wu State, and has repeatedly attacked us. Moreover, the Wu Country was still the overlord of the various vassal states. All the vassal kings would send troops to help and denounce the Chu Country. The Wu Country's dispatch of troops this time was justified.”Yu Heng's reasons were sufficient and appropriate. Although Xiang Rong still looked disdainful, he began to agree with Yu Heng's words in his heart. The current King of Chu was indeed muddle-headed, especially those treacherous villains in the court. They wantonly plundered the people's wealth and fat, filling their own pockets, causing great public anger.
"Then what do you plan to do? What can I do?" Xiang Rong softened. He thought about it and realized that what Yu Heng, this person from heaven, said made sense. He stood on the side of the Wu Kingdom, so the Wu Kingdom was naturally on the side of justice.
"Help me to enter the capital of Chu State and clear the side of the king. After the matter is done, all the countries will withdraw their troops and you will re-establish the King of Chu according to etiquette.”Yu Heng spoke of his plans, but this was only his own consideration. He did not obtain Wu Wang's approval, but he was confident about this.
"How can I believe you?" Xiang Rong was tempted. He knew that this was a risk, and he was betting the entire Chu Country.
"I'll give you my head. If you can't do it, then kill me. How about that?”
"Hehe, I'm afraid that I won't even have the chance to get close to you.”What Xiang Rong said was not without reason.
My woman, Mi Ya, will follow and assist you. If I don't keep my promise, you can do whatever you want with her. Of course, I will strictly follow the agreement.
Xiang Rong pondered for a long time before he suddenly stood up and said,"Alright, Yuheng, then it's a deal.”After saying that, she stood up and hugged the mysterious young man in front of her.
The Wu army advanced towards Jingmen Pass in an orderly manner. Soon, they arrived five miles outside the pass and settled down. Before they found their commander, they could only wait for orders. Wu Zixu was more anxious than anyone else. Xi Shi used all her skills to learn that Yu Heng was in the hands of Xiang Rong, the general of the garrison. He was like a knife and could die at any time.
"Reporting, Lord Wu, the gates of Jingmen Pass are wide open, and the Chu army is lined up to welcome them. However, General Yu is standing at the front, so please make a decision.”The scout hurriedly reported.
Wu Zixu was overjoyed, and his heart, which was hanging in the air, fell to the ground. He sent someone to tell Xi Shi.
"No need, I'm here. Lord Wu, order the Wu army to march into Jingmen Pass as soon as possible and take over the Chu army.”In order to prevent any accidents, Xi Shi rushed to Wu Zixu as soon as possible to ensure Yu Heng's safety.
Wu Zixu nodded. He was in agreement with Xi Shi on the issue of rescuing Yu Heng.
The King of Wu led the civil and military officials of the Wu Country up the Jing Men Pass, feeling very happy.
"Yuqing, you've given me another surprise this time. You're really Great Wu's lucky star.”Wu Wang gently held Yu Heng's hand and ascended the city wall of the pass.
"It is my duty to serve the king. I have a request that concerns the rise and fall of the Wu Kingdom. I hope Your Majesty will hear me out.”
Yu Heng felt that it was the best time to put forward his idea while King Wu trusted him and Xi Shi was not by his side.
Beautiful mountains and rivers, endless temptations, could the King of Wu remain calm and control himself? It was hard to predict.
