I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 521 Chapter 618 Chapter 619

After listening to Li Ran's words, Wu Yuan felt disappointed.But he refused to give up, so he said:

"Sir, these years... you have also changed... the Li Ziming who was so ambitious and wanted to change the world, is it really gone?"

Li Ran smiled wryly:
"Zixu, a lot of things have happened to you and me during this period of time. I have long been disheartened about the king's affairs. Even though I am in Lu State, I have not served the king for many years..."

When Wu Yuan heard this, he was rather disapproving:

"I know that the matter between King Ling of Chu and Wang Zichao is extremely harmful to Mr. Wang, but King Helu of Wu is the hero of the present age, so he is definitely different from..."

Hearing what Wu Yuan said, Li Ran couldn't help but sneered again:
"Hehe, Xu Buwen, did you hear the saying 'There is no beginning in the sloppy, but there is an end in the rare'? It was good at the beginning, but with the development of the situation, it is rare to last forever. Zixu, you will serve the King of Wu in the future. , You also need to remember what I said today. Although I, Li Ran, am frustrated, I am fortunate to have everyone's help, so that I still have my whole body now."

"As for Zixu, you...be careful in the future!"

What Li Ran said was purely in good faith, after all, Li Ran had already foreseen Wu Zixu's ending.

But he also knew that if he wanted to make Wu Yuan change his mind, it would be almost impossible.

Hearing what Li Ran said, Wu Yuan knew that it was difficult to persuade him, so he could only sigh:
"Hey... If you don't have the help of the master, I'm afraid it will be no easy task to destroy Chu!...Sir, just take it as the relationship between the husband and my Wu family in the past, how about a helper?"

Li Ran gave a wry smile, and said helplessly:
"Zixu... Please forgive Li Ran for being powerless. Now Li Ran only wants to have a place to live in this square inch of land, and he will be satisfied if he has more joys under his knees. As for the king's business, he really has no intentions."

When Wu Yuan heard this, he couldn't speak for a long time.After being stunned for a while, he looked at Sun Wu again.

"Brother Changqing! Since you only want to enjoy this peace, sir, I don't know if Changqing can accompany you to the country of Wu?"

Obviously, Wu Yuan is the next best thing.Since Li Ran couldn't invite him, it might be a good choice to let Sun Wu go.

Sun Wu also hesitated for a moment, and then replied:
"The military talents are poor, and they don't know how to govern the country. I'm afraid it will be difficult to help Zixu."

Wu Yuan shook his head and said:
"Brother Changqing is good at the art of war. Who in the world doesn't know? If brother Changqing helps you, it will be better than a hundred thousand soldiers! In the future, when you conquer Chu, you will have to use troops. Please don't refuse, Changqing."

When Sun Wu heard this, his heart began to move for a while.

After all, he and Wu Yuan are old acquaintances, and hope to avenge him.

What's more, he also stayed in Lu country for a long time, all these years only nested in this apricot forest, he couldn't help feeling that some heroes were useless.

What's more, when he heard the word "Mie Chu", he knew that this was definitely not a trivial matter, and it was more likely to be an unprecedented feat!
And Sun Tzu seems to be a general born for war.

Seeing Sun Wu's eagerness to try, Li Ran knew what he was thinking.

Although he certainly didn't want Sun Wu to leave him, but Sun Wu had his own ideas after all.

And between them, although they have the status of lord and retainer, they are actually more like brothers.

"Master, this matter is up to you to consider!"

Hearing what he said, Sun Wu couldn't help revealing a hint of joy for a moment.But then he lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Wu Yuan:
"Zixu, this King Helu of Wu is the son of Zhu Fan. Zhu Fan's death was committed by Wu himself. If Wu goes there, I'm afraid he will suffer revenge!"

Hearing what Sun Wu said, Wu Yuan couldn't help being overjoyed, and immediately explained:

"Brother Changqing, don't worry! When the king of Wu fought against the state of Chu in Chaoyi, his grandfather was the commander-in-chief. It was even worse! But the king of Wu was still able to treat Wu Yuan with courtesy, and he had a deep heart. I will definitely not care about these things with Chang Qing!"

Sun Wu narrowed his eyes, but still didn't make up his mind.

"Zixu, what is the state of Wu like now? The king of Wu, Helu, has just seized the throne, so the situation is still stable?"

Wu Yuan replied:

"King Helu of Wu is the hero of a generation. Although he has usurped his throne, his ambition is no less than that of the former King Ling of Chu!"

"A few years ago, after Crown Prince Jian of Chu was forced to flee, he took the opportunity to lead his army to attack the Chu State, and defeated the Chu army in one fell swoop, and brought Prince Jian's mother directly from the nest to the State of Wu. Defeated Chen Guo and Cai Guo one after another! And made the two countries directly submit to Wu Guo and pay tribute!"

"The king of Wu is also determined to reform internally. After he ascended the throne, he even appointed Bo Pi as a doctor. His father is Que Wan, a famous minister of Chu State who governs the capital of Ying! Now the four guards, the accumulation of food, and the enrichment of the treasury can be called The momentum is ready!"

Sun Wu said:

"I'm just worried... all of his great talents and strategies are all fake..."

Sun Wu thought about it for a while, then pursed his lips again, as if he still hesitated.

And Wu Yuan continued to ask:

"Brother Changqing, according to your opinion, if the state of Wu wants to plot against the state of Chu, what should it do?"

When Sun Wu heard Wu Yuan's question, he became more energetic:

"The affairs of a husband and a military family cost a lot of money every day, so if King Helu of Wu really did what Zixu said, erecting walls, setting up defenses, building warehouses, and managing the arsenal, if this is true, it can be said that half of the victory has been won!"

"However, Chu State is a big country with residual prestige and deep vertical strategy, so it cannot be underestimated! You can destroy Zhong Wu first to clear the barriers for the future!"

"Then, with the strategy of 'tiring', the Wu army can be divided into several groups, attacking in turn, harassing the Chu state, making the Chu army exhausted and gradually losing their fighting spirit!"

"At the same time, Wu Jun's strategy of 'tiring out' also gave Chu Jun the illusion that Wu Jun is nothing more than the same. Over time, he will inevitably slack off!"

"In this way, in just a few years, you can order a general to take Yingdu directly, and great things will be accomplished, and the Chu Kingdom will be destroyed!"

When Wu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing.

"Brother Changqing's plan is very clever! I have been taught again today! I also ask Brother Changqing to help me, we can work together to achieve a great cause! In the future, we will definitely leave a name in history!"

Sun Wu stroked his beard for a moment.

"This... Zixu, what you said like that really moved Wu's heart!"

Wu Yuan further persuaded:

"Brother Changqing, it's really hard for a member to be alone in Wu, and it's really hard to make a difference! Please come and help me! The member is here, also for my father and brother who died in vain, thank you, Changqing!"

When Sun Wu heard the words, he couldn't help thinking of Wu Ju and Wu She.To put it bluntly, when they were on Mount Lai, they all went through hardships together.

"Zixu, you've worked hard all the way, let's go down and rest first! Wu wants to chat with Mr. alone!"

Wu Yuan knew that Sun Wu had been moved, and seeing that Li Ran had stopped talking, he knew that the two of them must have a lot to say, so he bowed his hands and said:
"No! The member is indeed tired, but if he can't get the approval of the minister this time, I'm afraid the member will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

Sun Wu said:

"Don't worry, Zixu, Sun Wu has already decided to go, so go down and rest first!"

Afterwards, after Wu Yuan saluted Li Ran and Sun Wu, he left.

Li Ran was up to this moment when he was serious and said to Sun Wu:
"Master, have you made up your mind to go this time?"

Chapter 619
Hearing Li Ran's question, Sun Wu gave a "hmm" first, and was silent for a long time before saying:

"Sir, Mr. Wu Sui has been traveling the world with him for many years, and he has learned a lot from it."

At this time, Sun Wu suddenly came to a pause, and then continued:
"Actually, Wu believes that a country is the same as an army. An army must have a commander. If it is divided into armies, it will only make the entire army lose its morale and lose its will to fight. Naturally, it is impossible to fight again. Victory!"

"For a long time, my husband has wanted to support the establishment of the government and punish the power. On this point, I agree with my husband!"

"Therefore, if King Wu Helu can really replace King Ling of Chu, and make the ministers of various countries no longer dare to be as unscrupulous as they are now, even if it only happens for a while, that is the best deed!"

"So, Wu has decided to go to Wu country for a try! I still hope... Don't blame me, sir!"

Li Ran sighed:

"It's hard to meet a Ming lord. Although I have never met Wu Wang Helu, I have heard of this person to some extent. This person is unscrupulous in order to achieve his goals, and his behavior is even more sinister and unpredictable. My brother thinks... Changqing's matter still needs to be resolved." Think twice!"

But Sun Tzu didn't take it seriously:

"Don't worry, sir. Sun Wu has already figured it out. Once he helps Wu Zixu destroy the state of Chu, Sun Wu will come back and continue to stay by your side."

"However...hehe, maybe at that time, the martial arts will not be able to fight anymore, or just like Tian Rongju and Kong Zhongni, and the book will be passed down to the world, and they will be at ease! At that time, there will be some mistakes in it. , I still need a lot of guidance from you! Since you can help Kong Zhongni write "Spring and Autumn", you will naturally need help, and you can't favor one over another!"

Li Ran couldn't help but smile when he heard that:
"Master, you don't blame me, do you?"

Sun Tzu cupped his hands and replied:

"What are you talking about, sir? How can you blame Wu for treating Wu like a brother? Besides, Wu is too straightforward, and his words are bound to be extreme. Sir, it is not very good for Wu to be so blunt. Thanks!"

"However... Even so, Wu still has some heartfelt words, and I want to explain them to my husband! If there is any offense, please don't blame me!"

Hearing this, Li Ran couldn't help but waved his hands, and replied without hesitation:
"You and I are like brothers, what can't we say? Changqing, it's okay to say!"

Sun Wu took a deep breath and said:
"Sir, over the years, affected by the events of King Ling of Chu and the Prince's dynasty, and the subsequent passing away of Marquis Lu and his wife, he sank... Sun Wu watched from the sidelines, and felt very sorry in his heart! Sun Wu hoped so much that he would see him again Mister 20 years ago!"

"Thinking back in the past, Mr. and I first met in the State of Lu. At that time, Mr. had great ambitions, trying to revive Zhou rituals, and at the same time, he had a heart for the people of the world. Such a gentleman...is the one Sun Wu wants to help! However, now that person But seeing him no more, Sun Tzu is really saddened!"

Although Sun Wu's words were not fierce, they hit the nail on the head, and it was something no one else dared to say for many years.

There was a wry smile on the corner of Li Ran's mouth:
"Changqing, you are right. My ambition is indeed not as good as it used to be... The world is so vast, I only feel the insignificance of manpower. Li Ran once wanted to go against the sky, but in the end he couldn't escape... "

"Actually... it's not just King Ling of Chu and Wang Zichao? Think about Dr. Zichan, who dedicated his life to helping the world, but when one of them dies, Zheng Guo will lose its great rule."

"There is also Doctor Rushu Xiang, if he is still alive...but I don't know how he will feel?"

"As for the State of Qi, once Yan Pingzhong died, the Marquis of Qi was bewildered, and the Tian Clan got his ambition from this..."

"Hey... the way of kingship has been out of favor for a long time. Either it is self-willed, or the monarch and ministers are jealous, or weak and unable to help. If the way of kingship is the way of heaven, then this way of heaven seems to be too impermanent..."

Sun Wu heard Li Ran say this to him, but he didn't take it seriously.

Although most of what Li Ran said was what he and Li Ran had personally experienced together, Sun Wu still had that ray of light in his heart:

"Sir, the world is so big, let everyone fly! How can one person's success or failure set the tone for the whole world? If you don't face difficulties, how can you repair the leaks?"

Seeing Sun Wu's high-spirited appearance, Li Ran couldn't help but be impressed by his ambition.

"Changqing, you are wise, courageous, resourceful, and ambitious. If you stay here, you will inevitably give in. If Changqing wants to go, I won't stop you as a brother. Just go!"

Sun Wu raised his eyebrows and asked involuntarily:

"Sir, don't you still want to go out?"

But seeing Li Ran nodded again, and replied:

"Well, Changqing is on his own. From my point of view, today's King Wu is just another King Ling of Chu. Li Ran might as well spend more time with Guang'er. Since I, Li Ran, have failed my wife, I don't want to Let Li Guang down again."

Seeing that he mentioned Liguang again, Sun Wu didn't want to say much, but after hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but said:
"Sir, now Guang'er is extremely dependent on Gong'eryue, and even calls her 'Second Mother', and no one corrects her! Mister, you must pay more attention!"

"In addition, there is Gong Eryue, please be more careful after Wu leaves!"

The only thing Sun Wu was worried about was Li Ran's safety.But he also thought that Li Ran still had Fan Li, Chu Dang and others beside him, and Li Ran was not a stupid person at all, but he seemed to have let down his vigilance a little bit on the matter of Gong Eryue.

Li Ran only nodded slightly with him. Obviously, Li Ran and him disagreed on this matter.

But at this juncture, it is not suitable for Li Ran to get too entangled with Sun Wu.

Therefore, Li Ran changed the subject and asked Sun Wu:

"Master, when are you going to go on the road?"

Sun Wu replied:

"Wait until Wu and Zixu have a chat before making a decision. It shouldn't be too long. Zixu is eager for revenge, and I'm afraid he just wants to leave immediately."

Li Ran nodded again, stretched his waist on purpose and said:
"Well...that being the case, Zhang Qing should go back to rest early today. Maybe you will leave tomorrow."

Seeing this, Sun Wu knew that Li Ran didn't want to make this parting too sad.

So, he also took the opportunity to resign, and wandered back and forth for a while, but instead of looking for Wu Yuan, he went to see Fan Li first.

At this time, Fan Li had just brought Wu Yuan down to rest, and when he saw that Sun Wu had found him, he immediately asked:

"Brother Changqing, do you really want to go to the country of Wu with that old Mr. Wu?"

When Sun Wu heard this, he couldn't help laughing:
"What old man, I am about the same age as him, and I should not be older than you."

Fan Li was not without surprise and said:
"Ah? Then...then why does he have gray hair?"

Seeing that Fan Li didn't know the origin of Wu Yuan, Sun Wu briefly told Fan Li about his experience.

After hearing this, Fan Li couldn't help but smacked his lips:
"Their family is really miserable... No wonder Mr. Ziming persuaded my father not to become an official during the reign of King Chu Ping. Now it seems that this King Chu Ping is indeed not the Lord of Ming!"

At this time, Sun Wu looked at Fan Li again, and suddenly asked:
"Young Uncle, tell me...is it right or wrong for me to help Wu Zixu destroy Chu this time?"

Hearing what Sun Wu said, Fan Li knew that Sun Wu still had a hard time getting over that heart.So he comforted him and said:

"Hehe, a man was born between heaven and earth. If the enmity between father and brother cannot be avenged, what are you doing alive? Even though King Ping of Chu is dead, Fei Wuji is still here! Fei Wuji has caused troubles in Chu for a long time, and everyone in Chu has the hearts of the people." Want to change! Therefore, Fan Li also supports Brother Changqing to help Wu Zixu take revenge!"

"What's more, if the sky destroys Chu, it will tolerate its difficulties! If the sky strengthens Chu, it will tolerate its difficulties! Whether Chu is strong or perish, it is all in Wu! Changqing helps Wu, either to destroy Chu, or to strengthen Chu. Hehe, the variables here are still unknown!"

Sun Wu couldn't help being surprised when he heard Fan Li's words.

Because of Fan Li's words, it can be said that his vision is extremely far-sighted, and his vision is also extremely broad!

At this time, Fan Li was only listening to continue to say:
"It's just...my elder brother Shen Baoxu, since the death of King Ping of Chu and the ascension of the young master, he is now holding an important position in Chu State. If Changqing meets him, I hope he will be able to show you a noble hand then!"

Sun Wu heard the words, but smiled slightly, and said:
"Hehe, I also know a little about what Brother Ling did back then. He is courageous, insightful, wise and brave! It's just that each is his master, so he is a formidable enemy! Brother, I should avoid it!"

Fan Li smiled slightly and said:
"Hehe, my brother's plan is an unrivaled achievement! It's just that he can't find the master, and he can't apply for his ambition! If Changqing can perish, then my brother may be able to save Chu, it's unknown!..."

The two chatted and laughed like this for a while, and finally Sun Wu said to Fan Li seriously:
"Uncle Shao, it will take at least a few years for me to experience this, so sir, please take care of me!"

Fan Li and Sun Wu have also been together for many years. They are both smart people, and they serve Li Ran together. They get along very well, and they have formed a profound friendship.

"Brother Changqing, let's say goodbye today, and we don't know when we will see each other again!"
