Under the city of Shouchun, the camp of the Vietnamese army, Tian Buli faced the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty of the Yue Kingdom without fear. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"What are you talking about? Song wants to declare war with my country? King Yue Wujiang looked like he was laughing, as if this news was a fantasy to him. The Song State, how many years ago was the tributary state of the Wu State, which was defeated by the Yue State, now dares to declare war on the Yue State?

"That's right, on the orders of my Song Guoda, I have officially come to declare war on your country! From now on, my Song Kingdom and Yue Kingdom are the real enemy countries! Tian Buli said solemnly.

"Since you said that the Song State has declared war on my Yue Kingdom, and my Yue Kingdom and the Song State are enemy countries, then we will take you to sacrifice the flag first! Come on, just drag this Song country kid down and cook! "The prince of Yue Guo is not suspicious of his temper, and when he heard Tian Buli's declaration of war, he wanted to kill him directly.

"Oh no, my lord!" A middle-aged man with an elegant face stood up, "As a descendant of Empress Yu and a citizen of China, I should also abide by the rules and regulations of China." I heard that the country of China has a saying: The two countries fight each other, and they don't cut them off! Today, if I ignore the etiquette and kill the envoy of the Song Kingdom, then the countries of the Central Plains will definitely regard my Yue Kingdom as a barbarian! This is not good for the king to dominate the Central Plains, but please think twice! ”

"Wu Yi's words make sense." King Yue Wujiang spoke, "After all, the Song State is a big country in China, not those barbarian tribes in the south of our country, and we can't treat the Song State in the same way as the barbarians." ”

Immediately, he sent Tian Buli out of the camp of the Yue State and arranged for him to go to the Song State.

"Now that the Song Kingdom has also declared war on us, my Yue Kingdom has one more enemy. And we have been besieging this Shouchun City for almost a month, what should we do now? Wujiang asked the ministers of the Yue Kingdom.

"Great King, according to your subordinates, now that the Song State has decided to help the Chu State, the forces available to the Song and Chu countries in Huaishui have surpassed our country. Now our army has been unable to attack for a long time in this Shouchun, which has dampened morale. In my opinion, it is better to retreat the army back to the land of Qunshu, so that our country has sent troops to seize a large piece of land this time, which is also worth the trip. As soon as Wu Yi came up, he persuaded Queen Yue to retreat.

However, regarding Wu Yi's opinion, the prince of Yue Guo did not doubt that he first refuted, "The land of Qunshu is so barren, even poorer than my Yue country, what does it mean for us to have such a piece of land?" In my opinion, since the Song Kingdom has also become our enemy, we might as well send troops to the north directly!

Last year, I once met a businessman from the Song Kingdom, who came to sell exquisite hats in my country, but he didn't know that the climate in my country was hot, and the people of my country had no hair tattoos, so they didn't need hats at all. But even with the merchant's loss, I didn't see any discouragement on his part. I didn't understand that, and then I asked him why. He told me: It is normal to make profits and losses in business, although his business is losing money this time, but he at least knows the common sense that Vietnamese people don't need hats, and he will not make such a mistake next time.

Then I asked him: Listen to your tone, you have been selling hats for hundreds of miles at a loss and your face has not changed. So how much money should you have? You should also be a rich man in the Song Kingdom, right?

He said to me: In the Song Kingdom, he can't be considered a rich man at all. He was just a merchant from a small town in the south of the Song Kingdom, selling goods to the south, and the goods traded at one time were only a few pieces, and the amount was only a few dollars, so he was not a big businessman at all. The big businessmen in the Song Kingdom gathered in Suiyang, the capital of the country, and the number of transactions at a time was hundreds, and the amount could reach several to dozens of gold, and they could barely be regarded as rich people; And the Taoqiu of the Song Kingdom is the place where the world's water transportation meets, where merchants gather, the number of transactions there is thousands, and the amount of each transaction is calculated in thousands of gold, they are richer than the princes, that is the real rich people!

Everyone, think about it, the merchants of Taoqiu in the Song Kingdom reached thousands of gold at one time, so what a rich place Taoqiu should be! Think about it, if we can attack the Taoqiu, everyone will get untold riches! ”

The prince's words soon caused a huge response! The Yue Kingdom has always belonged to the backward regions of China, from the king to the common people, in fact, they are not rich, everyone wants to get rich. This time, everyone followed King Yue out to attack the Chu State, but in fact, they also wanted to make a fortune. Therefore, after hearing the prince talk about the prosperity of the Song Kingdom, the generals of the Yue Kingdom were a little moved!

"Dare to ask the prince, can I beat the Song people when I go north to the Song Kingdom?" A Vietnamese general asked.

The crown prince laughed without doubt: "When Wu was still there, Song paid tribute to Wu. Wu went north to compete with Jin Qi for hegemony, and Song didn't dare to make a noise at all. And it has been hundreds of years since the State of Wu was destroyed by my Yue Kingdom, do you say that this Song Kingdom can defeat my Yue Kingdom? ”

So all the generals of the Yue Kingdom were relieved, and everyone spoke one after another to encourage the King of Yue to go north to attack the Song State.

Because of the backward civilization, the organizational form of the whole country is not much stronger than the tribal alliance, and the royal power of the Yue king is to a large extent affected by the feudal vassals in various parts of the Yue country. Therefore, when most of the generals of the Yue State agreed to attack the Song State, the Yue King Wujiang also agreed with the opinions of the generals.

So the Yue army began to turn around and move north, and the army marched towards the Fuli fortress on the border between Chu and Song.

In the frenzied atmosphere of the generals of the Yue Kingdom, Wu Yi was the only one who was extremely calm.

Wu Yi is not a pure Yue person, he is a descendant of the nobles of the Wu State who were destroyed by the Yue State back then. After Gou Jian destroyed Wu, he implemented the policy of "Wu and Yue unity" and reused the remnants of the Wu nobles, which did receive very good results at the beginning. However, when Gou Jian died, the later Yue kings and Yue nobles were somewhat resistant to this policy. In their view, the state of Wu had been destroyed by the Yue state, so the fate of the Wu people should be at the disposal of the Yue people, and the people of Gou Wu should accept the rule of the people of Yue as the ruled.

This mentality immediately caused a backlash from the remnants of Wu in Vietnam, and later there were many civil strife in Vietnam, among which there were dissatisfaction factors behind the remnants of Wu. In today's era of King Yue's borderlessness, in the entire Yue court, almost only Wu Yi, a noble remnant of the Wu Kingdom, can be seen.

As a remnant of the nobility of the Wu Kingdom, Wu Yi is different from the feudal lords of the Yue Kingdom who are like barbarian chieftains, and he admires Ji Zha, the virtuous son of the once famous countries of the Wu Kingdom, and always takes Ji Zha as his example. Therefore, he paid special attention to learning the knowledge of the Central Plains and China, and also had a very detailed understanding of the situation of the Central Plains countries.

Since the division of the three families, the countries of the Central Plains have all begun the road of changing the law and strengthening the country. He copied the new decrees of these Central Plains countries one by one, comparing them with the reforms that King Goujian had carried out in the hometown of Yue. In his opinion, the changes made by King Goujian in order to strengthen the country can certainly quickly increase the national strength, but compared with the countries of the Central Plains, the reforms carried out by King Goujian in a hundred miles of land cannot be compared with those big countries in the Central Plains at all!

In order to confirm his views, he even privately sent envoys to the Central Plains countries for private visits to carefully observe the agricultural and military levels of the Central Plains countries. He was shocked by the envoy's conclusion that the grain output of the countries of the Central Plains had reached an astonishing level of one and a half stones per acre of land per year! And the countries of the Central Plains rely on such abundant food, and can even support a standing army of more than 100,000 people at will!

You must know that even during the reign of King Goujian of the Yue Kingdom, when the Yue Kingdom was the most powerful, the Yue Kingdom could not let tens of thousands of people leave agricultural production and completely engage in military training! However, King Goujian relied on the armies of thousands of professional soldiers and vassals of the Yue Kingdom to destroy the powerful and invincible Wu State!

What is the current level of disparity between the national strength of the Central Plains and the Yue Kingdom? Wu Yi really can't imagine!

Therefore, he has always strongly opposed the Yue State attacking the Chu State, and also opposing the Yue King going north to attack the Song State. However, as a descendant of a nobleman of the Wu State, how many Yue generals will agree with his views? How much influence can he exert on the king of Yue?

When the king of Yue led a large army to withdraw from the city of Shouchun and attacked the fortress of Fuli instead, the entire army and people of the Chu State in Shouchun and the Jiangnan Juntian Ji who stayed nearby to contain the Yue army were all greatly relieved.

"Sir, now that King Yue has led a large army to the north, what should we do next?" Jiangnan Juntian Ji asked a middle-aged man who was sitting on a double-wheel car and had lost his double-arms with a respectful face.

Seeing that Tian Ji was so respectful to this disabled person, it was not surprising that Tian Ji's subordinates around him took it for granted. Because this disabled person sitting on the double-wheeled car is the greatest military strategist of this era - Sun Bin!

When people in this era talk about Sun Bin, everyone will think that this is the real god of war! In the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling between Wei and Qi, Sun Bin really showed the people of the world what is the strategic thinking in the overall situation of war!

Encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, this kind of strategy that later generations are familiar with, actually contains a wealth of strategic thinking. Before Sun Bin invented this method of warfare, everyone never thought that the battle could be fought like this!

Before encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, everyone made an appointment to a place to fight, and when they arrived at that place, everyone set up a position and started fighting. Even if the etiquette collapses later, and everyone doesn't observe the etiquette, the common sense of war must be observed. If you want to save a country that is surrounded by the armies of other countries, then you should go to that country yourself, which is common sense in war.

However, Sun Bin broke this common sense of war that everyone believes in! After Sun Bin fought to save Zhao from Wei and Wei, the world suddenly realized: It turns out that the war can still be fought like this - you fight yours, I fight mine. Everyone moved, and the entire battlefield of the war was infinitely broadened!

The siege of Wei and the rescue of Zhao was the first movement war in human history - a war to destroy the enemy army in the movement. For Sun Bin, who invented this strategic thinking, no matter how much attention is paid to it!

At this time, this great military strategist, in the face of Tian Ji's inquiry, he only thought for a moment and said: "Now we only have 8,000 soldiers in our hands, we are not the protagonists in the whole war, and it is the two armies in the north that really decide the victory or defeat of the war." We can only play an auxiliary role in this battle, so we will march to the east and enter Zhongli. This time, the Vietnamese army will go north, and if they win, we will cut off their food and grass back, so that they will not be able to expand their gains; If the Vietnamese army is defeated, we will ambush here and wait for work, then there will probably not be many soldiers who can return to the country. ”

Tian Ji naturally obeyed Sun Bin's words.
