Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 706 - 340: [Shen Baoxu: Wu Zixu! Do You Really Intend to Destroy Chu?]

[I feel like my spirit has dispersed, as if I've suddenly aged twenty years.]

Comments floated across the live stream room, and just as they said, Wu Zixu's persistence in revenge had sustained him until today. Now that his great vengeance was fulfilled, he suddenly seemed to have aged twenty years.

In the scene.

Wu Zi's heartrending wailing gradually diminished, until it grew smaller and weaker, and he collapsed to the ground.

Witnessing this scene.

The Blue Star viewers in the live stream thought Wu Zixu was going to die.

But Wu Zixu was simply too tired, coupled with his revenge being complete, his spirit relaxed, and he ended up sleeping for several days.

Upon reopening his eyes, though still very weak.

That obsession was no longer present.

Not long after.

The state of Wu had to withdraw its troops from the state of Chu as Vietnam launched a sneak attack from behind.

Wu Zixu had no attachment to Chu anymore, so he returned to Wu. However, the following year, King Helu of Wu sought revenge for the backstab from Vietnam, and thus launched an attack on Vietnam.

Yet during the invasion of Vietnam, he was gravely injured and succumbed to his wounds.

His son, Fuchai, succeeded him, with a resolute determination to avenge his father.

Two years later.

The army of Wu soundly defeated the forces of Vietnam, forcing King Gou Jian of Vietnam to retreat with only 5,000 remaining soldiers to Mount Kuaiji.

In the scene.

Wu Zixu advised, 'If Vietnam is not destroyed today, we will regret it in the future.' However, King Fuchai of Wu, persuaded by Bo Pi (who accepted bribes from Vietnam), agreed to Gou Jian's surrender and allowed him and his wife to serve as slaves in Wu.

This scene.

Made the Blue Star viewers in the live stream widen their eyes involuntarily.

This damn it?

Eliminate future trouble, eliminate future trouble! Why spare them, what are you waiting for?!

But there was also a group of Blue Star viewers who thought, given the current situation, Gou Jian could not possibly seek revenge anymore—he's a slave now, how could he avenge anything, assassinate the King of Wu in Wu's palace?

Wu Zixu seemed to be overthinking it.

After all, this situation was different.

Wu Zixu had escaped from Chu at the time, which enabled him to pursue revenge.

Gou Jian is a slave in Wu's palace, how could he seek revenge?

However.

Very soon a scene made the Blue Star viewers in the live stream gasp.

Because in the scene.

King Fuchai of Wu fell ill, and Gou Jian, in a show of loyalty, tasted Fuchai's excrement to demonstrate his fidelity.

This scene.

Moved King Fuchai of Wu greatly.

But it made Wu Zixu's hair stand on end with shock. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

It's because.

Wu Zixu considered that for his own revenge, what he went through was already beyond what ordinary people could endure, yet now... Gou Jian, to demonstrate loyalty, tasting excrement.

What an extraordinary endurance of humiliation.

If this person isn't killed, he will surely become a great threat in the future.

Wu Zixu advised again to kill Gou Jian.

But King Fuchai of Wu, who was just greatly moved, couldn't bear to kill such a loyal subject, and spurred by Bo Pi's provocations, he grew increasingly dissatisfied with Wu Zixu.

Witnessing this, the Blue Star viewers in the live stream felt goosebumps, the comments floated past:

[Damn! Hurry up and kill him! He can even taste excrement, what wouldn't he do?!]

[Logically, I thought Wu Zixu's earlier suggestion to kill Gou Jian was just unnecessary worry, but now... Damn it, quickly kill him!]

[Damned! This guy is actually moved?!]

[Absurd, it's too absurd. To go to such lengths?]

[Wu Zixu too came from a path of revenge, in terms of the will to seek revenge, who can surpass Wu Zixu? That's why he understands this kind of person's thoughts clearly, yet unfortunately, Fuchai doesn't listen to advice.]

[Indeed, as a professional avenger, he completely understands Gou Jian's intentions at just a glance, didn't expect Gou Jian to be so ruthless.]

Gou Jian has gone to such lengths, absolutely must not let him rise again, or else...

But judging by Fuchai's appearance, this guy really believes Gou Jian is a loyal subject.

The scene continues to shift.

However, since it is about[Wu Zixu]'s life, the focus remains mostly on him.

At this point, Wu Zixu advised to kill Gou Jian, Fuchai refused to listen, Wu Zixu advised to first destroy Vietnam, then head north to compete with Qi for supremacy, Fuchai refused to listen.

Anxious to dominate the Central Plains, Fuchai twice abandoned attacks on Vietnam in favor of attacking Qi.

Causing massive consumption of national strength, yet accomplishing nothing, while Vietnam quietly restored its power.

And after two failed attacks on Qi, Bo Pi seized the opportunity to slander Wu Zixu to Fuchai:

"Wu Zixu opposed attacking Qi because his son was treated kindly in Qi, he's truly harboring a rebellious heart!"

"And perhaps the two failures..."

In the scene.

A servant offered the Sulou Sword, its cold shine reflecting Wu Zixu's aged face:

"Wu Zixu, the king commands—take the sword and end your life!"

Wu Zixu slowly raised his head, his white hair disheveled, staring at the sword in the envoy's hand, suddenly laughed towards the sky:

"I, Wu Zixu, expanded territory for Wu by a thousand miles, only to receive three feet of white blade in return!"

"Hahaha, what a 'loyal' subject's fate!"

Tears streamed from Wu Zixu's eyes, laughing in desolation and helplessness, the tears continued flowing uncontrollably, and at this very moment, it seemed like a cycle.

His father, brothers, and ancestors were loyal to Chu, yet they met their end through execution of three generations.

He, Wu Zixu, loyal to Wu, expanded its territory by a thousand miles, yet met his end by taking his own life with a sword.

Loyal subject... loyal subject... those two words seemed like a joke.

Wu Zixu took the Sulou Sword, pressing the blade to his throat, using his last strength to grit his teeth and roar:

"After my death."

"Take my eyes, suspend them at the eastern gate!"

"I want to personally witness the Vietnamese breaking through Suzhou! Watch Fuchai..."

"Die a miserable death, losing both nation and life!!!"

Wu Zixu exerted force with the sword, the glint flashed, and he ended his life through self-decapitation.

Beyond.

Dark clouds surged over Suzhou, resembling a raging dragon in the sky.

Foretelling something.

The scene ended here.

The Blue Star viewers in the live stream felt disoriented.

Never expected.

Wu Zixu would end up in such a fate.

He essentially walked the path of his father and brothers.

He was loyal all his life, yet was dismissed by the king with just a few words.

Truly quite tragic.

In this life, he seemed to have accomplished much, yet it also felt like he accomplished nothing, because ultimately, Wu Zixu left nothing behind.

Even Wu...

Many Blue Star viewers in the live stream had already checked the records.

Nine years after Wu Zixu's death.

The kingdom of Wu was destroyed by Vietnam.

Just like nine years after King Ping of Chu's death, Wu attacked Chu.

All happening in spans of nine years.

It felt like a cycle.

However, Gou Jian, who destroyed Wu, did not give Fuchai a chance for revenge, because he traversed that path himself, naturally wouldn't grant others the chance for retaliation.

Wu Zixu counted as a tragic hero.

In his quest for revenge, he aided Wu, transforming it from a small barbarian state into a rising power, yet in the end, due to the king's belief in slander, he met the same fate as his father and brothers.

This complicated and conflicted life sparked endless discussion among the Blue Star viewers in the live room.

But what triggered the most discussion was the shock Wu Zixu felt while witnessing Gou Jian tasting excrement, followed by an incredulous look at Fuchai.

After going to such lengths, you still won't kill him?

That kind of disbelief, puzzlement, a feeling of wanting to personally deliver justice, it created a suffocating tension felt even by Blue Star viewers.

Fang Ming watched the discussion in the live room for a while, stretched lazily, ordered takeout from the[Huaxia Cuisine]restaurant while asking:

"Hey guys, anyone wants to keep watching?"

"Or play some games for a bit."}

"It's dinner time, hungry, gotta eat first."}

Having watched all afternoon, it was now evening, dinner time.

Blue Star viewers who were still watching were generally at home, thus discussing continuing.

Fang Ming finished ordering takeout, then looked at the comments and said:

"Alright, let me see...."

"The next on the ranking after Wu Zixu is..... Xin Qiji."}

"Huh?"

"This feels a bit familiar."}

"I remember he was from the Southern Song period."}

Among the Blue Star viewers in the live room, there were quite a few who found this familiar. This didn't belong to the Warring States period, had no narrative version.

[Song Dynasty]had many versions, many had played them.

The name Xin Qiji was heard of, however, upon brief discussion, discovered he wasn't particularly famous at the time.

Mainly mentioned or involved in certain plot exchanges.

The specific achievements of Xin Qiji hadn't crossed the minds of the Blue Star viewers in the live room right away.

However, in this case, at least there won't be spoilers.

The Blue Star viewers in the live room all wanted Fang Ming to put on the viewing version of[Xin Qiji].

Fang Ming promptly clicked on[Xin Qiji]to prepare for viewing.
