In the evening, the secret guard came to report and said, "Little barbarian master, these Qi people are very afraid of death, and they are all scared by us. ”

The little man-girl said to Ji Sunfei again: "I said Ji Sunfei, you see that this Qi army was frightened by us, and all of them ran away, we can just take advantage of the situation to pursue and grab some silver to compensate for the loss of this dispatch." ”

The request was rejected by Ji Sunfei. What the hell? This is to do things for them, and they are so unprofessional, they are afraid to die, for fear of losing their own subordinates!

Ji Sunfei also means that we will win this battle in a blur, and keeping the fruits of victory is the most important thing. Because no matter how good the Qi State is, the national strength is stronger than the Lu State, and the Lu State is now a scumbag without the help of the Wu State, and he has no ability to fight the Qi State.

In case the Qi State is in a hurry, the mourning soldiers will win, and the Lu State will be very happy and sad.

After the end of this battle, the commander of the Right Army, Meng Ruzi, was very interesting, and he said to others: "Although my martial arts are a little worse, at least I am better than that Bing Chu." Although Yan Yu is good at fighting, and the master is just unwilling to fight, he can only give the credit to everyone and let everyone have a long face, and the master is silent for everyone's good. If it weren't for the fact that Bing Chu couldn't defeat the Qi army, he shouted loudly: Escape. Ye must still be fighting, and when I heard what Bing said, I ran away together. ”

This product is also a wonder, and for a while, there was laughter in the Lu State military camp.

The state of Lu temporarily defeated the state of Qi, and in the same year, under the persuasion of Zigong, the husband sent a strong army and horses, preparing for another northern expedition and a big battle against the Qi army.

Besides, Ah Ci rushed to Wu day and night, and when he saw Wu Wangfucha, he said to Wu Wangfucha: "Last time, Wu and Lu jointly attacked Qi, and now the Qi people have been stationed on Wenshui in order to take revenge, and they are ready to wash away the shame of the past. ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you strike preemptively and take advantage of the current shortage of clothing and food in the Qi country to raise an army to save Lu? With the strength of Wu and the abundance of Lu, he will definitely be able to defeat Qi, so that the king can dominate the world and look down on the Great Zhou, so that Lu can also obey Wu's orders in the future. ”

Fucha felt that what Ah Ci said made sense, so he adopted Ah Ci's suggestion and prepared to go north to compete with the Qi State. King Wu has always wanted to be the overlord, and he wants to compete with Qi and Jin, driven by this psychology, he persuaded King Wu to save Lu Waqi and then Pingchuan.

Next, Ah Ci prescribed the right medicine, discussed the ideas of "royal road" and "domineering" with Wu Wangfucha, and clarified the meaning of alignment warfare: "I said King Wu, this defeat of strong Qi can dominate the world, and it can also make the more powerful Jin State no longer treat Wu State as a chess piece, so as to obtain the greatest benefits, dominate one side, and all countries will come to the court." ”

"Today's powerful Qi State seeks to capture the weak Lu State, aiming to compete with Wu for hegemony. I thought that your position was in danger, King Wu! This principle is called boiling a frog in warm water, and unconsciously cutting off the countries of siblings that follow you one by one, when you understand that it is too late, the edifice will fall beyond the support of a tree, and the surrounding small countries will also leave you, and now, if you save Lu, you can establish prestige to the small countries that follow the king. ”

"And if you win the battle against the Qi State, the benefits you can get are unimaginable, and it can also make the Jin Kingdom also bend down to you and have to obey you. Nominally, it is to save the country of Lu, but in fact it is weak Qi. Fame and fortune are a good thing, and smart people will not hesitate. ”

"Historical Records of Zhongni's Disciples" wrote: "Today, with the Qi of ten thousand times and the Lu of a thousand times, he competes with Wu and steals as the king." and the husband saves Lu, and he is famous; Vazi, Dali also. In order to appease the princes of Si, punish the violent Qi to serve the strong Jin, and Li Mo Dayan. Survival in name only, real hardship and strong Qi. The wise man does not doubt it. ”

King Wu was moved by Zigong's brainwashing words, and said to Zigong: "Sir, this idea is good, but this king has the difficulties of this king, and there was a big war between Wu and Yue, and almost destroyed Yue." King Yue now lives in Huiji, this guy farms and raises pigs by himself, and does not levy taxes from the people, which is strange to think about! ”

"In the beginning, this king thought that this Yue country did not pay official salaries and did not collect national taxes because it was so poor that he was too poor, but after a long time, he found that this Gou Jian was a hard worker, and he definitely planned to take revenge on my Wu country. How can I send an army on an expedition to the Qi Kingdom! When the backyard catches fire, who to turn to? After I have eliminated the Yue Kingdom, I will go to fight the Qi Kingdom, so that I will have no worries. ”

Zigong saw that King Wu wanted to be the overlord of Qi, but he was not relieved to go down to Yue, so he further agitated and said: "Wu is not as strong as Qi, if you put Qi aside to fight Yue, Qi will have already been destroyed." When the time comes, when it is strong, it will be a big loss to carry it with the king? If you let the Yue Kingdom continue to exist, it will just show your benevolence to the princes of the world. ”

"There is also a good excuse to fight Qi to save Lu, and then exert influence on the Jin State, the princes will inevitably rush to tie up with the king, and your hegemony will be achieved."

"What the king is worried about is nothing more than the Yue Kingdom attacking Wu, I will go to meet the King of Yue, and ask the King of Yue to send troops to follow you to fight the Qi State, nominally with the princes to attack Qi, but in fact, the Yue Kingdom's troops are evacuated, and the King has no worries, so he can rest assured that he will send troops to attack the Qi State." Wu Wangfu responded happily when he heard this, he was very happy, and he also wanted to hang a part-time seal for Zigong and go to Yue as soon as possible.

Fucha kept echoing in his head, "The battle for hegemony in the Central Plains is just around the corner." "Just wait for you to let the horses go." "Who can stop you in the world when you make a move!" "Such a good opportunity for the weak Qi Cun Lu to dominate the world, look for it there!"

These high hats were put on the husband's head, and this thing was really fooled. But Wu Guoneng is proud of the crowd, and there must be a few brushes, and there are a number of powerful generals such as Wu Zixu and Sun Wu in the court, how can they be easily deceived.

Wu Zixu immediately proposed: "No, the enmity between Wu and Yue is as deep as the sea, and the king of Yue, Goujian, has been thinking about revenge, and now attacking Qi State, Yue State will definitely take advantage of the emptiness of Wu State to sneak attack." Wait until we have destroyed the Yue Kingdom before we can attack the Qi Kingdom. This statement makes a lot of sense.

Zigong replied: "Who is this old guy?" If you wait for the king to destroy the Yue Kingdom, and the Qi State has defeated the Lu State, then there is still a chance to achieve the glory of the overlord of the world, otherwise this good opportunity will be a thing of the past. The king, you look at the world majestically, how can this old man talk crookedly to move the heart of the hegemon? King Wu is the most powerful monarch in the world, if you don't attack the Qi State but fight the weak Yue State, will the other princes say behind your back that you are afraid of the Qi State? ”

"Wechen heard that 'the brave do not take refuge, the benevolent do not lose time, and the wise do not lose time'. Dare to attack strong Qi, this is brave; Rescue the country of Lu, this is benevolence; Seize the opportunity to expand your own power, this is wisdom. When the princes of the world see your bravery, benevolence, and wisdom, they will all come to submit, and your hegemony will be a piece of cake and easily done. Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, you have thought about it, King. ”

Zigong continued to brainwash according to King Wu's intentions, it doesn't hurt to do a few more of these high hats, and continue to talk about topics that King Wu is interested in, such as how to dominate.

As for the sneak attack of the Yue Kingdom, it is easy to handle. Zigong patted his chest and promised: "I said that the old guy who chewed the root of his tongue, the matter of Yue Guo Wei Chen promised King Wu, for King Wu to persuade Na Gou Jian, let that guy send troops to fight Qi with Wu State, nominally this is a joint action, but in fact, it is to turn Yue Guo's troops into his own, so that he can't sneak attack." ”
