To be honest, those words made a lot of sense—so much so that they gave people a feeling of sudden enlightenment, like being struck awake from confusion.
However, after hearing them, Third Bro was indeed enlightened… but unfortunately, that enlightenment was completely useless.
What good is knowing that real history isn't as simple as what's written in books?What actually matters is figuring out how to survive being sandwiched between Fuchai and Wu Zixu.
Right now, he felt like he was walking blindfolded on a steel wire suspended in midair—death to the left, death to the right, with no idea where the path forward even was.
Still, there were some gains.
Originally, he had been waiting for the key turning points recorded in history—things like tasting feces to inquire about illness—and planned to reproduce them according to the original trajectory.
Since real history wasn't a photograph but a video, complete with earlier causes and later consequences,then he would instead act fully in line with Goujian's persona and make many moves that weren't recorded in the history books—starting early, even from the very beginning, desperately currying favor with Fuchai.
No matter what, Fuchai was still the King of Wu.No matter how incompetent he might be, his authority far exceeded that of Wu Zixu, a mere minister—and he was far more capable of deciding whether someone lived or died.
Nan Gong Lingyun had no idea that after listening to his nonsense, Tang San would reach such a conclusion.If he did, he'd probably laugh himself to death.
Something any normal person would understand without thinking—this guy needed to die five or six times and rely on others' hints before finally realizing it.
Truly, one could only describe it with a single word: six.
That said, even if Tang San performed perfectly—ten times better than the original Goujian—it was still utterly impossible for him to clear the level.
Because the person who controlled and set the rules had never intended to let him win in the first place.
Tang San had just died yesterday.
So when he entered again today, the plot restarted from the very beginning.
Yue State was defeated. Its capital, Piyong, was captured and occupied by Wu forces.With no other option, Tang San led the remnants of his defeated army in retreat to Pingyang at the peak of Mount Kuaiji, using it as a temporary capital.
But it didn't take long before even this temporary capital was tightly besieged.
Breaking out was impossible. Holding out was also impossible.
Minister Fan Li suggested suing for peace with Fuchai and submitting to Wu as hostages.
Tang San had once tried a desperate last stand.
The result? There was no "rebirth from the brink of death"—he was wiped out completely.
Not only was he killed, but Fuchai and Wu Zixu didn't even spare Yue's core ministers.They were all herded into a palace and burned alive, with the outside world being told that they had voluntarily died in loyalty to their king.
From that, Tang San understood clearly:There really was only one path—surrender.
And his attitude had to be sincerely humble.Even the slightest hint of displeasure from Fuchai would lead to the same ending.
On a vast wilderness plain,
Tang San led the remaining five thousand Yue soldiers, along with civil and military officials,his wife within the storyline, concubines, clan members, offspring,
as well as the seals, swords, maps, household registries—symbols of fully surrendering political power, civil authority, territory, and taxation—
all kneeling respectfully on the ground, awaiting the King of Wu to receive them.
The territories handed over accounted for roughly nine-tenths of Yue's original land—from once occupying all of Zhejiang and parts of surrounding regions, to being reduced to barely more than a single city, with almost no defensible terrain.
They also declared that Tang San would offer up his wife, and that he himself would become the King of Wu's slave, serving day and night to atone for his sins.
And yet—even then—numerous setbacks still occurred.
Real history truly wasn't as simple as what the books recorded.
The records only stated that Wu Zixu opposed accepting Yue's surrender, believing that refusing Heaven's gift would bring disaster.
But in reality, what happened in detail could easily fill tens of thousands of words.
Wu Zixu advised Fuchai to kill all Yue military officers, confiscate weapons and armor, and disband the common soldiers.If Goujian refused, it would prove he harbored treacherous intentions and was planning revenge.
When Goujian remained completely calm and unshaken, Wu Zixu then suggested exhausting every means to humiliate him.
If even the slightest resentment appeared on his face, they would have justification to annihilate him and Yue's final forces on the spot.
After all, without commanders—and with soldiers stripped of weapons and armor—killing them would be effortless.
Even if Goujian endured everything willingly, they could still destroy his prestige before his own people and army, thereby weakening any future threat to Wu.
Thus, Fuchai first took Goujian's wife into the military tent in front of him.
From inside came waves of agonized screams.
Overhead, the scorching sun burned down.
Not far away, inside the tent, his wife and concubines screamed in misery.
Behind him were the incomprehensible yet deeply shocked gazes of ministers and soldiers alike.
Yet Tang San could only force himself to endure the humiliation and agony—
kneeling on the ground, loudly praising the King of Wu's heroic prowess,declaring that he had never allowed his wife to enjoy herself so thoroughly.
Next, he was summoned into the tent and truly served the King of Wu in the posture of a slave, personally attending as Fuchai "disciplined" the Queen of Yue.
Fortunately, Tang San had already resolved to grovel no matter what, and Wu Zixu's plan did not succeed.
But this only further convinced Wu Zixu that Goujian was harboring deep malice.
No normal person could possibly endure such humiliation and still remain cheerful—let alone praise the enemy for humiliating him so well.
Even more insane targeting followed.
At dawn, the alliance ceremony was supposed to begin.
Yet it wasn't until nightfall that Wu finally came out—reluctantly—to receive the seals, sword, maps, and registries.
Over the course of an entire day, under Wu Zixu's schemes, Fuchai repeatedly tested Tang San and deliberately provoked him.
Within the scenario, Tang San was merely a mortal.
All sensations were applied according to what a mortal could endure.
He was tormented to utter misery—his mind and body pushed to their absolute limits—several times truly fainting.
During this process, Yue's treasury was emptied.
The army was disbanded.
Valuable craftsmen, doctors, books, grain supplies, and many women of childbearing age were all packed up and taken away.
From Wu's perspective, Yue State had already lost any chance of revival.
It was preserved only to showcase Wu's benevolence—and to occasionally humiliate a king,a king who had once killed Fuchai's father, purely for entertainment.
And this was only because a corrupt Wu official had been bribed by subordinates and kept speaking on Goujian's behalf.
Otherwise, even the chance to become a slave wouldn't have existed.Yue State would have been erased entirely.
In this trial, time only accelerated during unimportant segments.
At key nodes, everything was experienced in real time—one to one.
When Tang San removed the Flying Immortal Token from his forehead the next morning,
his entire body was on the verge of collapse.
Even after eating several of Oscar's recovery sausages, he still couldn't recover.
Overwhelming exhaustion surged like relentless tides, wave after wave battering his consciousness.
The moment he closed his eyes, he would fall into deep sleep.
But just then, a knock sounded at the door—right on schedule.
Oscar stared at him with an extremely sharp gaze for a long while.
Only after Tang San forced himself to appear alert and composed did Oscar turn and leave.
Mm. A worker's soul is a worker's soul.It was time to go to work.
In the assessment, a single misstep would merely lower the evaluation and force a restart.
But in reality—
If that vicious, shameless, inhuman bastard—who constantly nitpicked, deliberately twisted normal behavior, and loved finding trouble—caught hold of any flaw…
You would truly die.
