I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

After Chao Wu heard it, he felt cold sweat and shuddered.

"Master K Bu Yin, why did you say that? I have no intention of doing so. Cai Gongwen has become a martial arts strategy, and he has won the support of our Cai people. Now that our country is safe and peaceful, why do we need to return to Cai?"

Guan Cong smiled.

"Hehe, my lord, don't be alarmed, this is what Duke Cai intended!"

Chao Wu was taken aback, quite unbelievable.

Why?Prince Qiji is the Duke of Cai, why did he encourage the former Ministry of Cai to restore the country?

"Now that the King of Chu is in trouble, although he has not passed away for the time being, the general situation is gone, and the soldiers are thinking about returning day and night, and they will fall apart soon! And Cai Gong is now going to Yingdu to stabilize the situation! Cai Guozheng can take advantage of this Great opportunity to come back!"

Chao Wu heard the words, but still said cautiously:

"Since we Cai people have surrendered to Chu, even if Duke Cai goes to Yingdu, the land of Cai should obey Duke Cai."

"Hey... Lord Chaowu, after all, you still don't understand the fourth prince's intentions! In fact, how could it be the fourth prince's wish to destroy Cai? The reason why he was appointed as Duke Cai in the first place was a done deal. The lives of the country are in dire straits, the fourth prince has no choice but to agree to this matter!"

He bowed to Wu, and replied respectfully:

"Yes, Mr. Cai's heart is for the people of Cai, it's really a blessing for me, Cai people!"

"Now the meaning of the four princes is to restore Cai Guo to the country! It is said that Cai Jinghou's youngest son, Lu, is still alive, and he can take on this great task! Lord Chao Wu can go find him and help him become king!"

Hearing this, Chao Wu couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off his forehead again.

"Mr. Cai really has this intention?"

"What is Guanmou deceiving you for? Mr. Cai has already said that after the restoration of the country, you can bring your new ruler and move to the south and establish your capital at Xincai! What do you think?"

When Chao Wu heard the words, he immediately knelt down on the ground:
"Then it's all up to Master Bu Yin! As for the land of Shangcai, it will belong to the Chu State for generations to come. We Cai people dare not have any more hands!"

Guan Cong also put on a show, and supported Chaowu.

"No need to be like this, this is all due to the kindness of the fourth prince! Master Chaowu can immediately send someone to find the young son's house, the fourth prince will leave in a few days, by the way, besides... there is one more thing you need to do!"

"Master Bu Yin, please tell me, as long as Chaowu can do it, I will never shirk it!"

"The fourth prince now wants to make the prince the new king of Chu, and I need your help! If not, once the King of Chu gains power again, not only will there be no hope for Cai Guo to restore the country, but he may also be implicated in the revenge of the King of Chu in the future! "

When Chao Wu heard the words, he nodded again and again and said:

"What Master Bu Yin said is true!"

"Well, since that's the case, then my lord will call the old Ministry of Cai Guo, look for the young son's house, and plan to restore the country!"

Chao Wu still had some doubts, so he obviously hesitated again.

"What the fourth prince is plotting is extremely secretive. Guan Mou has told the truth. I don't know what you have to worry about? Time is not waiting for us. If this opportunity is missed, I am afraid there will be no such opportunities in the future!"

"No! As long as Cai Guo can be restored, I will die without regret! I will do it now!"

As soon as Guan Cong came out from Chaowu, he was immediately summoned by Prince Qiji.Guan Cong arrived in a hurry, as soon as Wang Ziji saw Guan Cong, he took his hand with great enthusiasm and asked:
"How? Is there any result from Chaowu?"

"Four princes, don't worry, Chaowu heard that the country will be restored in a short time, and has already been moved by it. Right now, we are trying our best to find the youngest son's house! And the land of Shangcai has also promised to be ceded to Chu State from now on, so it can be regarded as possible. It's been explained."

"Okay, okay! Sir, these days have been very hard, but it's not time to rest yet. Now my two foolish brothers have already arrived in the suburbs! Please go ahead, sir, and everything will go according to plan!"

Guan Cong said indifferently:
"No! If that's the case, please let the fourth prince stay here and wait for the good news!"

Guan Cong tidied up his clothes, then took a team out of the city to meet Wang Zibi and Wang Zihei.

Because the two of them lived in other countries for a long time, they were in decline, and there were not many attendants around them.Therefore, the two of them did not dare to enter the city rashly for a while, and when they were hesitating, they saw a group of people coming towards them.

Wang Zibi and Wang Ziheiji looked at each other, with somewhat fear on their faces.

I saw Guan Cong stepped forward and bowed, saying:

"The two princes are well, the fourth prince has been waiting for a long time."

"Since Brother Ji summoned the two of us, why didn't he come to see us in person?"

the prince asked, for example.

"The fourth prince is currently dealing with the internal affairs of Caidi, and he can't get away for a while! So let Guan Cong welcome the second prince on his behalf. Please don't panic, the second prince, everything is under the control of the fourth prince!"

Prince Heiji narrowed his eyes.

"Guan Cong! Brother Ji once said that once my uncle returns to the country, he should be crowned king. Is what he said true?"

"Of course what the fourth prince said is true, but now that King Chu is still here, we still need everyone to work together to make things happen!"

"Is it too risky for Xiong Weishang to do this?"

Wang Zibi asked with some uncertainty.

"You two princes, please rest assured. The king of Chu, Xiongwei, has gone against the law. He has already provoked the anger of the heavens and the people, and now everyone has betrayed his relatives. I also invite the two princes to enter Shangcai, make an oath of alliance, and hold high the flag of righteousness. Soon you can enter the capital of Yingdu!"

Although Wang Zibi and Wang Ziheiji listened to what Guan Cong said, they were still a little afraid of the power of King Xiongwei of Chu, so after hesitating for a long time, Wang Ziheiji said:

"The matter of signing the covenant still needs to be discussed in the long run, and it's okay to go to Shangcai to have a look!"

Guan Cong knew that the two of them were timid and fearful, so he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous of them, but he didn't say anything more in person.

"Then invite the two princes to enter the city, and after reuniting with the fourth prince, we will make further calculations!"

So, the people arranged by Guan Cong surrounded Wang Zibi and Wang Zihei all the way into the city, and at this time, those people were all shouting loudly: Oppose the King of Chu and enter Yingdu!
This scene caught the two princes by surprise.After all, such things as conspiracy and rebellion should be "quiet", so how can they not scare the two of them with such a big clamor?
But they are like fish on the knife at this moment, how can they let them go?They arrived at Duke Cai's mansion all the way, and Prince Qiji was pretending to be eating, when he heard the clamor outside, he immediately got up and left through the back door.

Wang Zibi and Wang Ziheiji entered Cai Gong's mansion, but they did not see Wang Ziqiji, feeling suspicious.But Guan Cong saw that Prince Qiji had already set out delicacies, so he understood, and let the two princes eat first.

These two princes have been traveling all the way, having trouble sleeping and eating all day long, and now they finally have a place to rest, and they are really hungry at the moment.Moreover, the two of them only thought that the prince abandoned his illness but hadn't arrived yet, so they sat down to eat and drink without any precautions.

But at this moment, Guan Cong dug a hole in the yard and arranged it as the scene of the oath.He also ordered people to wear the clothes of Prince Bi and Prince Heihu. After the covenant was read out, another cow was brought, and the person pretending to be Prince Bi cut off the cow's ear first and put it on a plate.

"Wang Zibi" holds a plate to worship heaven and earth, and then smears his lips with cow blood. "Prince Black Brachial" and "Prince Qiji" also smear their lips with cow blood to express the oath of alliance.

Moreover, "Wangzibi" is the one who holds the ear of the cow, slaughters the cow as a sacrifice, throws it into the pit, and puts the covenant book on the sacrificed animal...

Wang Zibi and Wang Zihei both heard the movement outside, and hurried out to check, but found that Guan Cong had already completed the oath at this moment!
This time they can be said to be riding a tiger.

And this is exactly the hole that Guan Cong dug for the two of them, and it was under the watchful eyes of everyone, and the prince Qiji was not there. on the head!
And what about Prince Qiji?Instead, he looked like a victim forced by the situation, as if he had no choice.

Chapter 398 Cai people rebelled against Chu.

On the other hand, when Guan Cong brought Prince Bi into the city, he ordered people to clamor all the way to rebel against King Chu.Regarding this, those Cai Guoguo people who passed by at that time also heard it clearly.

It is absolutely impossible to say that they, the old and the young, will not be moved after hearing this rumor.

It's just that most of them are ungrateful and fearless of Chu's power.So, they had to find the heir of the old master to preside over the overall situation.

The son Dongguo, the eldest grandson of Cai Linghou, his father was the hidden prince of Cai Guo back then.In terms of seniority, he should be regarded as Cai Shaozilu's grandnephew.

His father was the crown prince back then, and when he heard that Cai Linghou was killed by the king of Chu, he sent someone to the state of Jin to ask for help.But helplessly, all the countries in the Central Plains refused to save them. In the end, the city of Shangcai was destroyed, and Prince Yin was also killed by the king of Chu.

Later, son Dongguo was lucky to be protected by the people of the country, and after Prince Chu abandoned his illness and became Cai Gong, he seemed to intend to let him go, so since Cai Guo was destroyed, he has survived until now.

Others passed the news to Young Master Dongguo. After he learned the news, after careful consideration and seeing that the people in Caidi were so filled with righteous indignation, he decided to give it a go!
And when they broke into Cai Gong's mansion without authorization, they saw this "landscape" of the alliance oath intentionally left behind, and Cai Gong's dog-legged Guan Cong was there!
The people of Cai Guo immediately stepped forward and surrounded Guan Congshi. Faced with such a situation, Guan Cong did not resist at all.

Young Master Dongguo came before Guan Cong:
"You and I swear here, are you planning to plot against and kill the king?"

"Wang Zibi has already left here. What good is it for you to arrest me? And they are already ready to go outside the city. Prince Cai Gong and Prince Hei Huo have decided to assist the third prince to enter Yingdu and become the new king, and they have made an oath here !The matter has come to this point, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be launched!"

Young master Dongguo grabbed Guancong by the skirt.

"The King of Chu's hands and eyes are open to the sky! If he knew about this, wouldn't he come to take revenge? At that time, I, Cairen, may suffer another disaster!"

"Hahaha, why is your son so timid?! The king of Chu is already in danger, but how can he come to Cai to seek revenge? Waiting for the prince to be established as the new king, the overall situation is set, isn't this a good time for the son to restore the country? ?!"

As soon as Guan Cong said the words, Young Master Dongguo let go of his hand immediately, he couldn't help but hesitated.

Yes, when it comes to restoring the country, why doesn't he want to?
At this time, another person outside the crowd shouted loudly:
"If you are really willing to die for the King of Chu, or flee, then kill Guan Cong now! If you want Cai Guo to settle down, then you should support Cai Gong and help him fulfill his great wish! "

"What's more, if we disobey Duke Cai, what should we do in the future? Besides, Duke Cai intends to recover Cai, and King Chu is the chief culprit in destroying Cai!"

It was none other than Chao Wu who said those words!
After everyone listened, they were all silent for a moment.But only after a while, everyone praised:

"Yes! I agree with Mr. Cai!"

"Overthrow the King of Chu!"

"Help establish a new king!"

Some people even shouted "Recover Cai Guo!"

The morale of the people of the country was ignited for a while, and then they encouraged the sons Dongguo and Chaowu to come to the military camp, and they wanted to gather with the prince Qiji who had already run out of the city, and go to Yingdu, the capital of Chu, with him. The new king of Chu.

Although Wang Zibi was timid, after seeing such a scene, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He was really imposing, and they arrived in Dengdi very quickly.

As a matter of course, some people in Chen Guo saw that the Cai people had directly "rebelled", so they simply did not do anything, and people who wanted to restore the country also came in droves.

And Xu Ren came here under the leadership of the king Xu Wei, and the disaffected people also came here after hearing the news, plus Cai Guo and the prince Qiji's tribe, the mighty people gathered directly There are 20 people.

Although most of these are mobs, they have a huge momentum, and there is an aura that responds to everyone.

As for Yingdu, Wang Ziqiji had already deployed internal support, and people such as the Qu family and the Dou family were also secretly gaining momentum.

At the same time, the situation of King Xiongwei of Chu took a turn for the worse.

The king of Chu who originally wanted to conquer your country suddenly suffered an accident. The doctor of the Yue Kingdom lived a long life. At this critical moment, he suddenly rebelled against the king of Chu, surrounded Gucheng, captured Xizhou, and built the city stationed there.

For this sudden change, King Chu's original deployment was completely disrupted, and he no longer cared about attacking your country, so he had to confront Changshou's army inside and outside.Moreover, after all this tossing, fewer and fewer soldiers around King Chu ran away.

The momentum of rebellion is burning all over the Chu country, and all the uprising people also firmly believe that they will definitely succeed this time!
In this way, Prince Qiji was "surrounded" and led the army to the outskirts of Yingdu. Along the way, Prince Qiji's army hardly encountered any decent obstacles.

At this time, Dr. Cai Guo came to Wu and suggested that a fortress should be built on the outskirts of Yingdu to raise his prestige.

After all, if it weren't for the current situation, how could they have had the opportunity to go so deep into the territory of Chu State, and even directly approach the city of Ying Capital of Chu State, if Cai people had given them ten courage?

Therefore, Chao Wu's suggestion was obviously to be able to fight steadily, but in fact it was to make some appearance for the Cai people.

And how could Prince Qiji fail to see through Chao Wu's tricks?He just waved his hands back and said:
"It's not necessary, just put down the fence. We can only fight quickly here. Besides, the Chu people are already very tired. Building a high fortress at this moment will not benefit the battle situation!"

Chao Wu heard the words and knew that he couldn't hide it after all, so he had to act according to plan.

But at this moment inside Yingdu, Prince Lu, the son of King Xiongwei of Chu, was in a state of anxiety.At this time, Prince Lu couldn't contact his father who was trapped in your country at all, so he couldn't help but panicked, so he shouted anxiously:

"What to do! What to do now?!"

At this time, Shao Wan, the minister accompanying him, cupped his hands and said:

"Prince, don't worry. Although the situation is difficult, if Cai's army wants to attack the city, I'm afraid it will not be so easy!"

Indeed, the city of Yingdu was well-defended, and if handled properly, it would be extremely difficult to easily break into it, and this is why Chao Wu wanted to build barriers on the surface.

On the other hand, Young Master Ba Di was always frowning, and couldn't help but sigh:
"But even if it can last for a while, it can't last for too long!"

"You two princes, Chen Wan is already planning another way out. Let's resist it for a while, then we can withdraw from Yingdu and head to Zheng State to make a comeback!"

Here it is worth mentioning that this direct minister who insisted on sticking to the capital of Ying, this person's name is Wan, but he was originally from the state of Jin.At that time, he was expelled because of the crowding out of the Sanji Dazong of the Jin State who had power over the ruling and opposition parties, so he came to the Chu State.

As we all know, Xiongwei, the king of Chu, built Zhanghua Terrace in the past, and recruited talents from all over the world.

And this Shao Wan, after being a traitor of Jin, was highly valued by Chu King Xiongwei because of his great talent, and he was entrusted with the important task of presiding over the affairs of Yingdu.

Therefore, just like Wu Ju and Ran Dan, Xi Wan is also loyal to the king of Chu, Xiong Weina.

After hearing Shao Wan's words, Prince Lu couldn't help feeling a little more at ease.

"Then Dr. Lao will be responsible for everything..."

After Tai Wan bid farewell to the two princes, she immediately went out to deal with affairs, thinking about how to take Prince Lu and the prince to defeat the enemy and escape from Yingdu.

Seeing Shao Wan leave, the two servants followed closely into the hall.

"You two princes, it's time to eat!"

Although Prince Lu and Young Master Ba Di were very anxious, they still had to eat the meal after all, and the two servants held the food table and brought it to the opposite side of Prince Lu and Young Master Ba Di.

The servant was pouring wine, the young master let out a long sigh, and was about to say:
"Brother"

At this moment, before the young master could utter the words to strike down the enemy, the servant beside him suddenly made an attack. A dagger appeared from his cuff, and it was directly inserted into his chest!
When Prince Lu saw this, he couldn't help being startled, and was about to get up and run away, but another official servant also covered his mouth and nose, and directly pierced his back with a short backhand dagger.

Prince Lu and Young Master were both killed when they stopped the enemy, and after they succeeded, the two servants also clapped their hands, and soon Xuwu Mou and Shi Bei walked in, seeing their success, they were also very happy .

"Send someone to pass the news to the fourth prince, saying that the matter in the city has been succeeded! In addition, spread the news that the two princes have been assassinated, so that the Chu army in the city will be discouraged!"

While Xu Wumou was excited, he also knew that this was an urgent matter.

After packing up the bodies of Prince Lu and Young Master Badi, the four left the scene in a hurry.

But Yu Wan was still kept in the dark at this time, and was talking with the city defense department and the guard, when he suddenly heard it on the street.

"Prince Lu and son strike the enemy are dead! Prince Lu and son strike the enemy are dead!"

Lin Wan was shocked and angry when he heard that, he couldn't believe it, after all, he just met the two princes face to face!
