After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 216 The Lonely Man
Jing Tie thought of that day, after Meng Di put forward his opinion, it was not accepted because of his background, so he sighed.

"I'm afraid it will be very difficult. After Nangwa became the Ling Yin of Chu State, he was too greedy and not capable enough. Otherwise, Chu State would not have suffered such a miserable defeat. Thinking about it makes people feel very emotional. Let's follow Your lord is quick to do things."

But at this time, Bai Gui played tricks on Mengdi. He followed Bai Gui's gaze and saw Wu Zixu's hands trembling slightly, and tears flowed silently from his eyes, which was obviously touched.

In order not to embarrass Wu Zixu, Mengdi waved his hand to signal everyone to back off, leaving Wu Zixu secretly sad.

Bai Gui's face also showed a sigh of relief, with some unbearable eyes, and then whispered to Meng Di.

"Shen Xu almost devoted his whole life to the state of Wu. This was also to repay Helu's kindness. He didn't expect that he would not be seen by Fuchai, the king of Wu. It really feels like a hero's twilight."

"Besides, Shen Xu brought his son to Huai City this time, obviously because he already had a death wish in his heart. Otherwise, he would never do this. He is afraid that Sun Wuzi will be in danger if he does so."

"Wu Wang Fucha, although this man is self-willed, he also knows the abilities of Shen Xu and Sun Wuzi. If the relationship between Wu Wang Fucha and Shen Xu continues to deteriorate, his life may be in danger."

After hearing this, Meng Di sighed and didn't say anything, but looked at Wu Zixu in front of him with pity, and he was deeply moved in his heart, if Wu Zixu didn't have such a stubborn character.

Then it is impossible to help Wu Guo become stronger in a short period of time, but the problem is that the current Wu Wang Fucha is not the previous Helu, and he can no longer listen to what Wu Zixu said.

Under such circumstances, Wu Zixu still only thinks about the country of Wu. This is also his tragedy. It can be said that he is destined to escape this catastrophe. At this moment, he is even a little jealous of Wu Wang Fuchai.

With such a loyal veteran, Fu Chai, the king of Wu, could not use it, so the demise of Wu was doomed from this moment.

When leaving the barracks, Wu Zixu was in a low mood and didn't say anything along the way.

Back in Huaicheng, Mengdi invited Wu Zixu to the mansion for a banquet, but Wu Zixu didn't refuse and agreed directly.

It's just that when going to the banquet at night, Wu Zixu brought his son Wu Ping and introduced him to Meng Di.

"This is Wu Ping, a dog with mediocre aptitude and mediocre talent, but he has a honest and pure personality. After coming to Han this time, I also feel that Huaicheng is changing with each passing day, so I want him to do some business in Huaicheng."

After he finished speaking, Bai Gui just smiled, cupped his hands at Wu Zixu, and said.

"Since this is the case, then Mr. Bai is very welcome. It just so happens that Huai City has been expanded recently. Mr. Bai will leave a better position for Mr. Wu. As long as he manages it carefully, he will definitely be rich in a short time."

At this time, Wu Zixu was obviously different from the daytime, his whole expression seemed a little lonely, and he was always willing to drink alcohol. After Meng Di and Bai Gui saw it, they looked at each other with regret in their eyes.

After the banquet was over, Meng Di whispered to Wu Zixu when he was saying goodbye.

"Shen Xu, please rest assured that nothing will happen to Mr. Wu if he stays in Huai City, but hasn't Shen Xu thought about his future? The current king of Wu is obviously dissatisfied with Shen Xu. Shen Xu Why don't you leave the country of Wu?"

After hearing this, Wu Zixu sighed, turned his head to look at his son, and said.

"There are many talented people in this world who don't meet. I think that when I fled from the state of Chu in a hurry, after I arrived in the state of Wu, I just went to see King Helu of Wu with the mentality of giving it a try. I didn't expect that I would be able to rule the state of Wu from then on. .”

"This kind of kindness, I will never forget it, not to mention that I have devoted my whole life to the state of Wu. Where can I go at this time? Or return to the state of Wu, whether it is good or bad, it is my own choice. "

"The Marquis of Han's kindness, the old man admires in his heart. With Marquis Han's words, the dog can save his own life if he stays in Huai City. Even if the old man dies, he will have no regrets."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands, and then took his son, got into the carriage and left slowly.

Meng Di looked at the carriage going away, sighed heavily, and then spoke.

"It's embarrassing that such a highly intelligent person will end up in this way. I always feel that what I did today will make Shen Xu's situation even more difficult when he returns to Wu. I always feel a little bit worried. Can't bear it."

It was not for nothing that he took Wu Zixu to the barracks today. As soon as they met, Wu Zixu revealed his hostility towards Han. Obviously, he had seen Mengdi's layout.

Taking advantage of the weakening of Chu State and the struggle between Wu and Yue, Mengdi captured Huaiyi and Yihu, which are also the areas Wu Zixu was trying to capture, which shows that the strategic vision of the two sides overlapped in this place.

And the most important thing is that just as Wu Zixu said, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. In the southern region, there will always be a hegemony-level vassal state in the future. At that time, it will speak entirely by strength.

Fighting between each other is inevitable, just like the hegemony between Qi and Jin in the north, so Mengdi took Wu Zixu to watch the infantry training, so as to let him know that Mengdi was fully prepared .

So when Wu Zixu came back, he would look so lonely, obviously he had foreseen the doomed ending of Wu.

After Bai Gui heard this, he shook his head slightly and said with some emotion.

"Fuchai, the king of Wu, has an idle minister like Shen Xu who cannot be used, and cannot accept advice, thus attracting Sun Wuzi to retreat into the mountains and forests. These two pillar ministers of the Wu state have ended up like this, which can only show that Fuchai, the king of Wu Lack of vision."

"The lord can't decide these things. Even Shen Xu's ending has been predicted by himself. The lord just feels regretful because of his love for talent. If Wu Wang Fucha really reuses Shen Xu, it will be for us. It’s not a good thing to say.”

After hearing this, Meng Di let out a long sigh, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said in a deep voice.

"There are so many talented people in the world who are buried in the world. From now on, you must search for talented people with your heart. Only in this way can the Han Kingdom continue to grow. And always remind me, don't forget your ambition!"
