The king of Chu likes all kinds of tricks, and the favorite among all kinds of tricks is Jiaodi opera. All the officials of the state of Chu voted for the king, and tried their best to find wonderful Jiaodi opera to please the king of Chu.On this day, a businessman from the state of Wu, through Dr. Zuo, presented a play with novel content for the king of Chu to appreciate.The king of Chu trusted Dr. Zuo the most, accepted Dr. Zuo's recommendation, held a banquet in the palace, and summoned all the royal court officials and the youngest son of the concubine Ji to watch it together.

The corner play is derived from the fight between primitive people and wild beasts. Generally, in the play, two performers wear masks to play the role of a warrior and a beast. They compete in pairs, and the winner is determined by the strength of their strength.

The performance techniques of the corner play presented by the businessmen of Wu State are very different from those in the past. The performers do not compete with each other, but mainly focus on the content of the performance.The performance process is also different from the previous ones with simple gongs and drums. The whole process is mixed with various music. What is rare is that the characters also speak lines during the performance, so that the audience can understand what is happening in the play.

At the beginning of the performance, a warrior did not wear make-up, but was dressed in strong clothes and wore a big sword. He called himself Wu Song. He traveled around the vassal states for six years and returned home. In the evening, he walked near Yigang. He was hungry and wanted to find a village to buy some food. .

After the villagers sold the food to Wu Song, they kindly advised Wu Song not to go forward, telling them that there was an evil tiger hurting people ahead, and the evil tiger had already injured countless people.The villagers advised Wu Song to stay at his home.Wu Song suspected that the villagers wanted to get more money from him, so he immediately ignored him and set off on his own after eating enough.

Walking to the place named Jingyanggang, Wu Song sat down to have a rest, and drank the green wine exchanged by the villagers. Unexpectedly, the green wine tasted very good, so Wu Song drank all the three gourd green wine at once. I found a large smooth bluestone, lay down on my back and prepared to sleep.At this time, the dubbing was in a hurry, the music was tense, and the rain was about to come. A big tiger with a white forehead and a drowsy eye rushed towards it amidst the howling wind.

When the white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes appeared, the King of Chu and his officials were all startled, and the concubines and maids who were serving around them were even more frightened, because the tiger with white forehead and hanging eyes was dressed so much like a real tiger to the front.

When people and tigers meet, the music is thrilling, and everyone watching is worried about the warrior Wu Song.The drunken Wu Song loses his weapon and fights with the white tiger with empty fists. During the fight, there are many surprises and dangers, but Wu Song wins bravely.

At the end of the performance, the king of Chu took the lead in clapping the table to applaud, and the ministers followed suit, and the performers were rewarded very generously.

"Aiqing, I don't know where Wu Song is? I just want to summon the warriors." The King of Chu asked his favorite minister, Dr. Zuo.

In the play, Wu Song is set to be from Chu, and the wine Wu Song drank was Qingjiu, the famous wine of Chu State, which enhanced the authenticity of the performance. In addition, the lines were so clear that the king of Chu thought that Wu Song was fighting a tiger.

Dr. Zuo was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect the king of Chu to take the Baidai play seriously. After thinking for a while, he got up and flattered: "The king shot arrows at fierce tigers, and he was braver than Wu Song. Artists just performed based on this. Because the king was brave, the tigers in the country Brave men can be found everywhere, and Wu Song is the tiger of our country!"

When the King of Chu was young, he encountered a tiger while hunting. The tiger was shot to death by the random arrows of the King of Chu and his guards. The tiger was shot with hundreds of arrows, just like the hedgehog. No one knows.But the people present all cheered that it was the king of Chu who shot the tiger to death.

"Haha, Aiqing is really not humble!" King Chu was very happy as he held his goatee.

"This minister is just telling the truth. He won't brag about himself like the people of Zhao Kingdom, boasting that their crown prince Zhao Xuan is as brave as a heavenly man." Dr. Zuo changed the subject and brought Zhao Xuan into the conversation.

As soon as the King of Chu heard Zhao Xuan's words, he showed hesitation on his face: "It's just a brat who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth."

"Your Majesty should teach the boy who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth." Dr. Zuo said.

The King of Chu thought for a moment, then shook his head: "It's not worth fighting for an arrogant kid."

The king of Chu wanted to teach Zhao a lesson, but as the king of a country, it was clear that he had to use all the power of the whole country to defeat Zhao.

"Teach Zhao Xuan boy, why do you need the king to do it yourself!" The right doctor who was sitting at the banquet suddenly stood up and said, the right doctor is different from the left doctor who was favored by the king of Chu and climbed up to the doctor's position. The representative of the great family of Chu State in the royal court.Doctor You didn't speak easily, and if he gave advice, the King of Chu would usually take it seriously.

"Oh, Aiqing has a good plan?" Although the king of Chu is getting more and more stupid, he still knows that the right doctor is more capable than the left doctor.

"Young Master of the State of Wei was framed by Zhao Xuan to destroy his country and family, and he wished to eat his flesh alive. If the King uses his soldiers and horses, Young Master Shi will go all out to find Zhao's revenge, and Zhao Xuan will be taught a lesson."

The feud between Zhao and Chu was actually a struggle for interests between Zhao and the nobles in power in Chu. As the representative of the great family of Chu, Doctor You naturally did not have a good impression of Zhao Xuan.When a businessman from the state of Wu lobbied Dr. You to come to the King of Chu to speak and help Prince Shi, Dr. You immediately agreed.

"There have been many natural disasters in the past few years, so I don't want to collect more taxes."

The king of Chu frowned and borrowed troops to attack Zhao, which meant that the state of Chu would provide troops and financial resources for the prince. In this way, the price paid by the state of Chu was too high, and the king of Chu was not happy.

"Your Majesty, you can lease the soldiers and horses to Young Master Shi, so that the Chu State will not only spend no military expenses, but also benefit from it." Dr. Zuo suddenly stood up and said.

The King of Chu's eyes lit up, and he felt that this was a good idea. The Chu State didn't spend money, and it could still earn rent, and at the same time let Zhao Xuan suffer. It was really a good plan.

Doctor You glanced at Doctor Zuo in amazement. The two were political enemies, and they had always held each other back in front of the King of Chu. Doctor You did not expect that Doctor Zuo would stand up and agree with his proposal, and even put forward a feasible plan for it.

Because the two major powers, the left and the doctor, agreed, there was an unprecedented voice in the Chu royal court, and they all agreed to support the son to take revenge by the Chu soldiers.

"Lease soldiers and horses with me?" Young Master Shi was overjoyed after hearing the words of the Patriarch of the Wei Clan. After being overjoyed, Young Master Shi thought of his own financial resources, and immediately turned gloomy, and sighed heavily. "Where there are things outside of the body."

Young Master Shi himself was down and down, and he depended entirely on the enshrining of the Wei family who followed him. Although the Wei family brought a lot of property to Chu, in addition to enshrining Young Master Shi, they had to manage the royal court of Chu. Three years later, the Wei family Half of the family's money was lost, and with Wei's current financial resources, he could not rent soldiers and horses from Chu State.The help method agreed by Chu State is just a piece of delicious pie that can be seen but not touched.

"My lord, don't be discouraged. My Wei family is willing to go all out. This is Wei Shuqing, a brother of the clan who has fled to Wu. The brother of the clan has a lot of wealth in business in Wu. He is willing to give all his family wealth to the son for the great cause of restoring the country! "The patriarch of the Wei clan pointed to the person in his 40s who came in with him.

"Are you willing to donate all your property?" The young master felt a little like a golden cake falling from the sky.

"My lord, after the fall of the Kingdom of Wei, my family and I fled to Cangcheng in order to earn money to support your son's great cause of restoring the country. Shu Qing was not talented, and he only got 30 gold in three years of operation. I hope that the small capital can help To son." Wei Shuqing stepped forward to salute respectfully, the 30 gold was all provided by Huang Zhong, after Huang Zhong came to Chu, he didn't show up, he only directed behind the scenes.

"30 gold?" Young Master Shi opened his eyes wide, and after a while, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly. "Haha, the Wei family was sent by heaven to assist the Yin family. With a huge sum of 30 gold, it is feasible to use troops to attack Zhao!" The royal family of Wei was surnamed Yin.

Young Master Shi cried after laughing, family enmity and national enmity were rewarded, which made him very excited.Wei Shuqing, who was next to him, saw that the young master was so crazy, he couldn't help but secretly shook his head, and once again rejoiced that he parted ways with the chief of the Wei family and went to settle in Wu country.

"My lord, Zhao Guo and Wu Guo have a friendly alliance. I hope you don't let out the matter of Shu Qing's donation." Wei Shuqing and other young masters calmed down a little and stepped forward to ask.

"The state of Wu is allied with jackals..." Young Master Shi felt displeased, thinking that the relationship between the state of Wei and the state of Wu was good at the beginning, when the state of Wei was invaded by Zhao Xuan, the state of Wu not only did not send troops to help the royal family of Wei, but also took the opportunity to grab the throat. Prince Shi has a lot of opinions on Wu Guo.Young Master Shi completely forgot that Wei Guo had lent the way to Zhao Guo to defeat Wu, and he did something wrong to Wu Guo first.

Wei Shuqing looked helpless on his face: "Young master, my Wei family has to do business in Wu to earn more money to fund the great cause of the son's restoration of the country. The Wei family in Kangcheng cannot reveal their identity!"

"That's right, it's not appropriate to let the Wu people know about the support from the clan brother, it has to be kept secret." Patriarch Wei agrees, it is not yet known whether he can win by borrowing troops to attack Zhao this time, and Wei Shuqing's source of income cannot be cut off.

"Oh, that's it, I understand now. You bear the burden of humiliation for the sake of defending the country. After returning to the country, you will pay the Wei family a lot!" After listening to the explanation, the young master finally understood the relationship of interests, and immediately agreed not to disclose Kang Chengwei to anyone. Family sponsors money matters.

Now that he has obtained soldiers and horses on loan to attack Zhao, he has to formulate a battle plan to attack Zhao. However, Young Master Shikong has the desire for revenge, but he has no ability to fight and deploy troops.Facing the map in front of him, he was helpless.Patriarch Wei is a literati, and like Young Master Shi, he is ashamed of marching and fighting.

"Don't worry, my lord. Shu Qing has a good friend who used to be a general of Wu Guo who was good at fighting. Now he is forced to retire. He is dissatisfied with the Wu king's family. This time, he followed Shu Qing to Chu because he wanted to work for you and gain a future." Wei Shu Qing recommends it to the young master.

"Oh, where is this person? Please hurry up?" Young Master Shi was very happy. He was going to sleep here, and someone brought him a pillow there.

"This person is right outside the door, Shu Qing will let him in to help Young Master."

The person Wei Shuqing brought was less than thirty years old, he was tall and tall, and he behaved like a soldier.

"Zuo Yi has met Young Master and Chief Wei Zong!"

"Zuo Yi, do you know how to march and fight?" Young Master Shi was very satisfied with Zuo Yi's appearance.

"Zuo is familiar with military books, and led the army for the former king." The former king in Zuo Yi's mouth refers to the son Guang's father.

"If you lead troops, how will you attack Zhao?" Young Master Shi pointed to the map.

Zuo Yi looked at the map for a while, and immediately felt confident. "My lord, the best way for you to defeat Zhao is to borrow from Chen Guo. Chen Guo is afraid of offending Zhao Guo, and he will not agree to your request. Since there is no hope for you, Zuo will attack Zhao from here."

Zuoyi refers to the border area between Zhao and Chu, separated by mountains.

"There is a big mountain blocking it, and soldiers and horses cannot pass through." The young master shook his head.

"There is a river here that passes through the mountains, and soldiers and horses can be carried to the Zhao territory by boats. After the soldiers and horses land, the boats stay here to meet them." Zuo Yi pointed to a tributary of a long river that crosses the mountains on the border of Zhao and Chu.

"Where can I find a big boat to carry it?" Young Master Shi was worried, the largest boat in Chu State was only [-] bucks, and could only carry dozens of people. This kind of big boat was still a military ship, and the largest private boats were even smaller, all under [-] bucks.

It was Wei Shuqing who relieved the young master's worries: "Don't worry, young master, Shu Qing can go to Wu to buy a big ship. The big ship has thousands of materials, which is enough to carry soldiers, horses and luggage."

Young Master Shi applauded Dayue: "Okay! After this Young Master rents troops from the King of Chu, I will take General Zuo as the vanguard of the restoration of the country!"

After nightfall, in a room in a deep house, Huang Zhong was receiving his subordinates. His subordinates were two businessmen who went to lobby and bribe the left and right doctors of the Chu State, and the entertainers who performed corner plays for the King of Chu. should.
