Wu Guo's attack on Shao was a very sudden decision.

It was a matter of life and death, and every subject of Wu from top to bottom knew very well how important it was to win this battle.

Destroying the weakest Shao State will have the opportunity to dominate the pass and prevent the army of Wang Ji of Chu from entering the pass.

The monarchs and ministers of Wu State understand very well that the situation of Wu State is very bad, in this environment, no country will help Wu State, and it is also impossible for any country to give up the fat of Wu State.

Not to mention the rest of the small countries, let's just say that Chu and Mang, and even Ruan will not give up.

After solving the Jin Kingdom, these big countries can sit back and relax and expand with confidence.

Of course, Wu Guo knew that once the countries really exerted their strength against Wu State, then Wu State's survival situation would become extremely difficult, and there was almost no possibility of survival.

The only hope is that the state of Wu can withstand the initial pressure, show the determination to resist to the death, and let several major powers understand that the state of Wu is not so easy to destroy.

In this way, are countries still willing to invest large forces to invade the state of Wu?

Yes, Wu Guo is gambling.

The bet is that the countries will not be at peace after the alliance, and the bet is that several major powers are secretly competing with each other, eager to expand the effect around them.

For example, Ruan is surrounded by Linguo, Cao, Cao, Lan, etc., which are much easier to destroy than Wu, and in terms of geographical location, Ruan Guo first solves these close neighbors, which brings about an increase in national strength, which is far better than Wu Guo, which is far away from Ruan.

Wu Guojun expected that the biggest variable in this war was Ruan Guo.

The reason why Ruan Guo was in the alliance and agreed with the countries to attack and destroy Wu was nothing more than to see that Wu was suffering from the enemy in the belly and was not tolerated by the surrounding countries, so he just came in and got a piece of the pie.

When the fight really starts and no full benefits are obtained, it is not certain whether Nguyen Guo will turn around.

Then, it is the side of Chu.

Wu and Chu are feuding, and last year because they cheated Chu and caused Chu to suffer the biggest fiasco and loss in a century, so they didn't have any idea of reconciliation at all.

Therefore, Wu Guo's idea was to resist the first wave of pressure, and after Ruan Guo's will was shaken, he could ask Ruan Guo to withdraw his troops by promising some benefits.

At that time, Wu Guo then sought to form an alliance with Yun Guo and several other countries that supported Wu in the alliance, and it was a matter of course.

As for Cangguo's side, it can only be said to be ridiculous.

When the alliance was met, when the Emperor of Wu heard the words of the Emperor of Cangguo, he was still frightened, and his heart was cold to the bottom.

However, on the way back, Emperor Wu thought carefully and gradually calmed down in his heart.

In the alliance, Chu State's wariness of Cangguo is so serious, will Cangguo have a chance to get involved in Wu?

When dividing the land of Wangji, did the Cangguo Kingdom seek the city adjacent to the Wu State at the expense of the near and far?

Obviously, unlikely.

The State of Chu will definitely restrict the land seized by the State of Cang out of strategic considerations.

In this way, unless it is really as the emperor of Cangguo said, the countries reach the moment when they can't hold on, it is really impossible for Cangguo to send troops.

Then the whole situation became clear.

Wu Guojun and his ministers figured this out, almost ecstatic.

Before this, such an idea had already permeated the army of Wu State, although there were elements deliberately created by the high-level, but it was undeniable that the soldiers were very well recognized.

Thus, the foundation for today's conversation was laid.

In everyone's opinion, after the destruction of Shao, the battle situation will be much clearer, and the hope of Wu is still very great, just a Chu State, Wu State can still deal with it.

Even in this crisis, the loss of some land and cities is worth it in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of Wu State.

Of course, this is an optimistic attitude.

In the hearts of a few courtiers such as Emperor Wu, they still understood that this was a very difficult task, because many things had to be attributed to coincidence.

For example, at this time in the tent, the emperor of Wu glanced at the generals in the tent and continued: "If the Shao army abandons the cities of Chendi and continues to retreat, then our army will be divided into two parts, and the main force will advance and hold each other, neither immediately start a war, nor make it break away, and divide one army behind, one city by one to take over the rectification of the city defense, consolidate the rear of our army, and when the Shao army has no way to retreat, our army will be integrated again and seek an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Shao army!" Got it? ”

"Understood!"

"Any objections?"

"No objections!" The generals were in unison, and no one hesitated.

After all, everyone is not stupid, His Majesty the Emperor does not involve the military at all on weekdays, and now it is arranged in an orderly manner, obviously it was discussed with the strategist general in advance, and there is definitely no ability to respond, what objections are raised at this time, in case His Majesty the Emperor is not prepared and cannot answer, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

First, it may be innocent of His Majesty the Emperor.

Second, the big war is imminent, and the most important thing for the whole army is to unify their minds, and if His Majesty the Emperor is confused at this time, so that something goes wrong with the whole war situation, it will be detrimental to the whole army.

Even if you have any suggestions, it's better to keep them private.

"This battle is related to the fortunes of the country, and the decisive battle is based on the general strategy, but if there are objections, it can be said clearly." Emperor Wu specially added.

"Solid! Reliable! Easy! Your Majesty's eloquence is strategic, and the ministers admire it! ”

"It's really the blessing of the Wu country, after avoiding this catastrophe, I will definitely make the Chu country look good!"

"Destroy the Shao State, let the countries see the strength of my Wu State!"

The generals were filled with righteous indignation and full of blood.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say at the end."

Suddenly, a general stood out from near the curtain and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, when all the countries are today, their eyes are focused on the Cangcheng Alliance, and I heard that the Emperor Shao has not returned to the country, and the big and small matters should be decided by the prince and the minister who returned from Cangcheng first, this is a great opportunity for us." ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals had different thoughts.

Some scoff, some seriously pondered, some disgusted, some worried, and so on.

Emperor Wu raised his eyebrows, he was secretly happy in his heart just now, thinking that his words had mobilized the morale of the generals of the whole army, but he didn't expect that at this time, an opposing voice jumped out.

It's not that I don't like it, but in general, I still feel a little disgusted.

The general was about forty years old, and he didn't know what his name was, but he still asked, "General, please." ”

"Your Majesty! The minister thought that in the war, he would use both soft and hard, and attack the heart! The general took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "The minister thinks that His Majesty should send a minister to Shaocheng to plot against the important ministers of Shao State, promise to benefit, treat each other sincerely, take advantage of the opportunity that the Emperor Shao is not in the country, just to make a big difference, if it is really effective, then our Wu army can save its strength to defend against the invasion of other countries, and can get the treasures and grain of Shao, and even gather 200,000 troops for the use of Wu, why not?" ”
