The estrangement between Xiang Rong and Yuheng was resolved satisfactorily. The generals of Wu and Chu discussed the strategy of advancing towards Ying, the capital of Chu.
Because the main purpose was to clear the side of the monarch, he advocated persuading the army and the people of Chu to surrender and killing as little as possible. Therefore, Xiang Rong's main force at Jingmen Pass was the vanguard, while the Wu army followed behind. Once they encountered resistance, they would kill without mercy.
Inspired by Xiang Rong's idea of clearing the imperial side, many small passes chose to respond and follow Xiang Rong's lead. Therefore, the troops did not encounter much resistance, and everything went relatively smoothly.
Soon, they arrived at the capital of Chu, Ying. Yu Heng couldn't help but sigh. If he didn't try, he wouldn't know. Chu seemed powerful, but King Chu really couldn't win the hearts of the people. As long as an external force pushed him lightly, he would easily fall.
Ying was the capital of Chu State, so it was natural that the construction and layout of the city was different from those small passes. This was the first time Yu Heng had seen this glorious ancient city, and he secretly admired the craftsmanship of those skilled craftsmen. Without the assistance of any modern machinery, they could actually create such a grand project.
"Hey, Brother Wu, how do you think these people put such a big rock on it? How many people do we need to move it together?" Yu Heng stood on his horse and asked Wu Zixu.
"Hehe, why is Brother Yu asking me such a simple question? Are you testing me?" Wu Zixu smiled strangely and thought, I won't be fooled.
"If you don't want to say it, then forget it.”Seeing that the other party was ignoring him, Yu Heng turned around and asked about the beautiful Mi Ya.
"Yes, Master. Although these are mainly man-made, they will also use wooden carts, horse power, and a slope to place the stones at the designated location.”Mi Ya smiled sweetly as if she had received a great gift.
"Very good, Big Brother Wu. It seems like you're not the only one who knows.”Yu Heng looked at Wu Zixu smugly and smiled. At the same time, he instinctively stroked Mi Ya's soft hair.
Mi Ya's face turned red to her neck. He was actually stroking her soft hair in front of so many people. How unbearable was that? However, even though he was uncomfortable, he did not dodge. Because that was his master, and his life was his, so there was no reason to reject any of his requests.
"It's good that you're with such an obedient and beautiful Mi Ya. You're so lucky with women.”Wu Zixu couldn't eat grapes, so he could only say that it counted.
"Come on, how many rooms did you buy? Tell me the truth."
"No matter how many, they can't be as interesting as you, Mi Ya. Let's see if there are any new gains from breaking into the palace of Chu State. Give me one or two princesses." Wu Zixu said casually.
Yu Heng was secretly shocked. Could it be that such thoughts were actually very normal in ancient times? She couldn't help but envy those patriarchs in ancient times who fought for countless rights for men.
"Lord Yu, General Xiang has invited you over to discuss something.”Just as everyone was chatting happily, a guard outside the tent came in to report.
"Alright, I'll go over now." Yu Heng replied and immediately stood up to go to Xiang Rong's tent.
Yu Heng had just arrived. There were a few strangers standing in the camp. Yu Heng was puzzled.
"Lord Yu, this is the King of Chu's special envoy, Lord Wang Meng. He's specially here to negotiate.”
"Uh, nice to meet you. How should I address you?”Yu Heng said as he walked over to shake hands.
The envoy suddenly took a step back and cupped his fists. He replied,"I've long heard of Lord Yu Heng's fame.”
Only then did Yu Heng react. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was not popular to shake hands. It seemed that he had offended her. Others thought that he was going to make a move?
"Haha, I'm just a commoner from the mountains. Lord Wang is too kind.”After Yu Heng finished speaking, he found a seat and sat down.
Xiang Rong naturally knew the character of this genius, but Wang Meng did not. He thought that this person could not differentiate between host and guest and was arrogant. His face was filled with displeasure.
"Lord Wang, please take a seat. What brings you here this time? We are all rough people, so it's better to make it short.”
"Alright, the King of Chu sent me out this time mainly to persuade General Xiang to repent and be saved. As long as you are willing to withdraw your troops, the King will let bygones be bygones.”Wang Meng stood up and cupped his fists.
"I believe Lord Wang also knows that we are only raising an army this time to clear the side of the king and return the Chu Country to a sunny day. If the king can't do it, we won't let this matter rest.”Xiang Rong refused sternly.
"You're offending your superiors and will be punished by the heavens.”Wang Meng berated loudly, as if he did not know that he was in the other party's tent.
"Hehe, Lord Wang, are you crazy? Could it be that you alone can represent the entire Chu Country? The Chu King is heartless. We are helping the people of Chu to clean up the side of the king.”Yu Heng sneered by the side.
"Who do you think you are? How dare he mock the envoy of the King of Chu on the land of the Chu Kingdom?”Wang Meng was extremely furious and used his right hand to point at Yu Heng's nose and curse.
"Pa, pa, pa." Three loud slaps rang out on Wang Meng's face.
Instantly, the entire tent fell silent. Only Yu Heng had an indifferent look as he sneered.
"You, who are you? You dare to rebel?" Wang Meng covered his flushed face and questioned, almost bursting into tears.
"He is my man. Who do you think you are, Lord Wang? Lord Chu has been spoiled by you frogs at the bottom of the well. F * ck, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Look outside, whose army is this? We are all here to support Xiang Rong.”Yu Heng looked at this fatty Wang Meng with contempt and mocked.
"You, you…"
"What about us? If you have the ability, can you beat him?"
"Just you wait. I'll go back and report to King Chu now.”Wang Meng was so angry that he was about to flick his sleeves and leave.
"Alright, we'll wait, but we'll be preparing to attack tomorrow. I'll see you guys in Ying Li, haha.”Yu Heng said disdainfully. It was the first time he saw such an ignorant envoy.
"Lord Yu, will there be any serious consequences? King Chu was petty and narrow-minded. He would definitely take revenge.”Xiang Rong was a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, he won't have the chance to report it. Tomorrow is their death date.”Yu Heng said confidently. The plan in his mind had already surfaced.
When everyone saw Yu Heng's confident look, their confidence increased. Wu Zixu's yearning in his heart was needless to say. He had been to the Chu royal palace many times when he was young, and the scenes of drunkenness and dreams were still clearly remembered in his heart. It was a childhood dream.
"Alright, then we'll go all out tomorrow and take down Ying Du and clear the royal side.”Wu Zixu seemed a little impatient.
The person who knew Wu Zixu's thoughts the best was Yu Heng.
"Brother Wu, we will have everything, including Yan Ruyu, haha.”
