I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 219 Seeing All Beings

Due to Wu Ju's successive provocations in the past few days, Wu Jun has always maintained a high level of vigilance.

As the saying goes, one can be one, two can't be repeated again, so, after these days of tossing back and forth, now that he is once again besieged by the Chu army in this valley, Wu Jun immediately felt timid.

At this time, only Wu Ju's order was heard, and there was another round of drums and horns contending on the middle of the mountain.

And the Chu army also rushed out like a tide, and at the same time, the three thousand light soldiers led by Sun Wu also heard the horns, turned around suddenly, and rushed away again.

For a time, screams and shouts of killing could be heard in the huge valley.

Wu Jun also knew that he had been caught in a trick. Facing such a desperate situation at this moment, he was powerless.

The soldiers who resisted the first wave of the Chu army's charge on the periphery were all laid down in a pool of blood almost instantly, and blood flowed into rivers in the valley again, and the smell of blood was mixed with the smell of rotting moss. For disgusting.

Wu Wang Zhufan saw this battle, his eyes were bloodshot, he just shouted frantically:
"Breakout! Breakout!"

He knew that if his team of more than 1 people were all eaten by the Chu army here, then Shujiu would directly fall into the hands of the Chu people. Then there is no advantage.

So this battle, he Wu Wang Zhufan also can't afford to lose.

It's a pity that no matter how he shouted, the Chu army had already taken advantage of the right time and place, and with Sun Wu as a killer, Wu Jun had no power to fight back in such a situation.

As the Chu army kept waving their sharp blades, the Wu army's soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and the battle of Shujiu, which had been entangled for many days, was finally coming to an end.

Li Ran and Wu Ju stood on the hillside, looking at the scene in the valley below, their faces showed completely opposite expressions.

Wu Ju was extremely excited, after all, this battle was really well fought!Now it is even more likely to win.

And just like what I said before, if he wins this battle, it will be a great joy for both King Xiongwei of Chu and his Wu clan.

If he can capture the king of Wu and Zhufan again, that would be a miracle in the world!Just thinking about it like this can't help but make people extremely excited.

When he achieves success and fame, Wu Ju will no longer be a courtier who only seeks glory by attaching himself to the king of Chu, but will become the number one meritorious official who has been unparalleled in Chu for a hundred years!
At that time, their Wu family will also become a big family in the Chu state just like the Roo family.And he, Wu Ju, will be like Ju Ao (Sun Shuao), who was exceptionally promoted by the king of Chu Zhuang back then, he will achieve the noble status of their Wu clan.And carry on the glory of this family.

And this is exactly the reason why he took the initiative to invite Ying to conquer Shujiu this time!
However, for Li Ran on the other side, there was an indescribable heaviness on his face at this moment.

Not only is his heart so heavy, but his melancholy eyes are also particularly heavy.

Yes, he should really be happy for the victory of Chu State, after all, he also has a part of the credit for it, although he actually didn't want it.

However, this shallow joy gradually dissipated with the continuous falling of Wu soldiers in the valley.

He fell into self-examination and self-blame for a long time, even the strong smell of blood permeating the wind could not wake him up at this moment.

why?
Why should he reflect on himself?
Some people might say that in an era of disintegrated rituals and music, and in a chaotic world, any latecomer should become an unrivaled hero holding a seven-foot king sword, sweeping Liuhe and ruling the world.

Or he could become a great sage who can save the common people in the misery, save the common people in the world from suffering, and truly give the world a "peace and prosperity".

However, has anyone thought about it?Since he, Li Ran, is a latecomer, the principles he upholds and adheres to are actually incompatible with this world itself.

The reason why he had positioned himself as a counselor before was, of course, because the situation forced him on the one hand.But on the other hand, in fact, it is largely because he understands the cruelty of war better than anyone else.

That's why he hopes to use another softer way to mediate, arrange, and even control everything.And not just rely on violence.

Violence, while controlling everything, also completely destroys everything.This is true for either side,
Therefore, what he blamed himself was that he found that he could not prevent this great war from happening.When he saw the "tragedies in the world" at the foot of the mountain, he thought to himself, in the years to come, should he break his vision beyond the limitations of this era?

Since he has such a vision and perspective, he should undertake more for the future of this era.

Zheng Guo, Lu Guo, Jishi, Zichan, these are people who are close to him.However, when he can do it, can't he limit his vision to only this corner?

If more people can be saved, the war can be ended at a lower cost.What can't be done?

Li Ran suddenly asked himself there, what should be his bottom line and original aspiration for him, for a future man who traced his origin from modern society?

Does the life and death of Chu people and Wu people really have nothing to do with him?
Facing all living beings, but seeing their life, can't bear to see their death.

Isn't this the righteous path he has always adhered to?

Although this is indeed a troubled world, he also knows that in this era, talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality will only make him look like a fool.

Just like Song Xianggong back then, he was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and what happened in the end?After all, he was educated by the ruthless reality.

But even so, should he really give up on this?Should I really fall into the vortex of the times and lose myself completely?
He couldn't remember clearly at this time, why was he so angry when Sun Sudden died outside Qufu City?He will even keep Lu Guo Ji's family on his revenge list forever!

Is Sun Su important?Can it affect the pattern of the entire world?
Absolutely not.Sun Su was just an ordinary warrior.To put it more bluntly, he is nothing more than a common man.

Wasn't the reason why Li Ran was so angry at that time because of Ji's way of fighting for power and profit, even at the expense of human life, blindly killing people to achieve his goal?
This is what Li Ran couldn't tolerate at that time!
But now, although he can't stop this battle between Wu Chu and Shu Jiu.However, since he was involved in it, his inaction, and his intentional or unintentional "show off" actions indirectly created the "purgatory on earth" under the mountain today.

In that case, what are the similarities and differences between him, Ji Sunsu, and Feng Duan and others?
Even if everyone in this era wanted to become the First Emperor, Li Ran should never take this as his goal in life.

Of course, you can say that Li Ran is like a slut, pretentious, hypocritical, and without ambition.

But you can't deny his thinking and logic as a modern person, let alone his cognition of this cruel world, which is the most rational and humane existence in this era.

……

The battle in the valley soon came to an end, and the morale of the Wu army was completely exhausted. In stark contrast, those Chu people saw that the Wu people had fallen into the urn, how could they sit still? Such a good opportunity?Therefore, everyone is ready to go, and they all look like they are determined to win.

Therefore, this battle of annihilation finally ended with the complete victory of the Chu army.

It's just that Wu Ju felt a little regretful that King Wu and Zhufan were still escaped by him after all.

Thousands of people went forward and rushed to kill, only for him to open a hole, and let him escape smoothly in the end.

And after he fled, Wu Jun no longer had any morale to resist.

……

When the battlefield was liquidated, more than 1 Wu troops were killed or injured in this battle, and another 300 were captured.

And the gate of Shujiu City is no longer blocked, and the Chu army will take back Shujiu just around the corner.

In the camp of the Chu state, Wu Ju couldn't wait to send someone back to Yingdu with this good news, and along the way, he also attached a letter asking for credit for all the soldiers.

Then, he asked all the soldiers to take time to rest and prepare to attack Shujiu in three days.

"Mr. Ziming, Changqing has made great contributions to our country of Chu this time. He has already become the king of Ming Dynasty. After this battle, he will make Changqing the next doctor of our country of Chu."

It can be said that Wu Ju took great pains in forcing and wooing Li Ran to become a member of Chu State.

Since you, Li Ran, do not want to serve our country of Chu, let your subordinates serve in our country of Chu.

In this way, can you Li Ran still explain clearly?

Moreover, such a reward is reasonable and reasonable. Sun Wu has made great achievements this time, and the King of Chu wants to reward him. Is it possible that you, Li Ran, can still say 'no'?

impossible!Absolutely impossible!
Wu Ju had a bright smile on his face.

Of course, Li Ran was well aware of this, so he could only nod his head slightly, and didn't talk to him any more.

This surprised Wu Ju very much. He squinted his eyes, looked at Li Ran and asked:

"Oh? Don't you want to say something, sir?"

"Since Dr. Wu Ju has made such an arrangement, what else can he say?"

Li Ran also asked back without hesitation.

What's the matter?Do you still want me, Li Ran, to thank you Wu Ju for taking credit for me?Doesn't this make it clear that people are disgusting?

Can you be a little more sincere?
But Wu Ju was choked by Li Ran, but he just pretended to be "innocent" and looked at Li Ran in a daze, speechless for a while.

When Li Ran saw this, he only bowed his hands to him, then turned and left the camp.

When the matter developed to this point, Li Ran knew that it was impossible for the state of Chu not to reward Sun Wu for his contribution to offer advice and his first achievement.

And Li Ran naturally couldn't make trouble at this time.It is related to Sun Wu's future, even if Sun Wu obeys what he says, he can't intervene in such matters.

After all, learning martial arts and selling them to the emperor's family is the common goal of all people like Sun Wu in this era.

Therefore, he could only acquiesce in Wu Ju's request for Sun Wu's credit.

It's just that Wu Ju pushed his nose and face, but it made Li Ran a little unacceptable for a while, so how could he give him a good look?
Back in the tent, Sun Wu had already been waiting for a long time.

It can be seen that Sun Wu also knows that his victory in the first battle tonight may put Li Ran in a dilemma.
