Chapter 1091: The Lion Looks Back at Tiger Hill

Wu Wangfu was trying to revive the country, but on the other side, Goujian, the king of Yue, was regretting that he could not destroy Wu in a war. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gou Jian recalled how close he was to revenge, if Zhao Guo could completely annihilate the main force of Fucha, let Fucha return south alone; If the state of Chu can attack the state of Wu more ruthlessly, as requested by the state of Yue, send the boat division to cross the river and cut off the return of Fucha...... No matter which one it is, Gou Jian is sure that he will break through Wu City within the year, so that Wu Guo will never recover.

It's a pity that there is no if, and the husband still comes back, with anger towards Gou Jian.

The Yue State did not "gather ten years of lessons in ten years" as in history, but hurriedly attacked Wu six years after breaking the country, although it was menacing, but when the remnants of the Wu army returned, Gou Jian found that the newly rebuilt Yue army did not have the certainty of defeating the other party.

The same is true of the Wu army, which suffered heavy losses in the Central Plains and whose morale is still very low until now.

In the battle of Huqiu Mountain in the north of Gusu, although the king of Wu and the king of Yue were eager to swallow each other alive, the soldiers on both sides had no fighting spirit, and they separated after tentative contact, Gou Jian immediately chose to withdraw his troops, and burned the platform of Gusu as a retaliation before leaving.

At this moment, the Vietnamese army has arrived at the traditional Wu State and Yue State demarcation line, because of Fucha's counteroffensive, the Wu State Zhuyi of the Three Rivers and Five Lakes, the Yue people can not defend, and they have burned and given up, which Gou Jian feels very sorry for.

Standing at the end of the marching procession, looking back at Wu Guo and looking in the direction of Gusu, Gou Jian hated and hated.

"Next time, the widow will destroy the Wu Kingdom!"

After this, Fucha no longer has to pretend to be generous to let Gou Jian keep the country, and Gou Jian does not have to pretend to be obedient, Wu and Yue, Fucha and Gou Jian, will face each other again, stand in the same position and fight, either you die, or I die!

……

At the beginning of November, when Gou Jian's troops returned to Zhejiang, Fan Li and the boat division commanded by Doctor Chu Yong had just arrived here.

In Zhouzong, the most important port of the Yue Kingdom, Fan Li landed to meet Gou Jian and reported to him the battle between the Zhou division and the Wu army in Dajiang.

"Wu Guozhou's division is commanded by Wang Sun Luo and Feng Tong, because of the defeat of Zhao in Langya, morale is still high, and he has several big boats, and it is difficult to defeat the Yue boat in the rivers and lakes."

"Although the foot soldiers of the Wu State have been hit hard and given the widow a chance, the boat master is still strong, it seems that the Wu State cannot be destroyed for the time being......"

But Gou Jian is Gou Jian, he endured the life of life in Wu Palace for three years, and he endured it in the days when he was lying on his back in the Yue Kingdom, and now that he has returned to the country, he is also desperate to focus on breaking Wu for revenge, and he will do whatever it takes to do so.

Naturally, this also includes Corporal Lixian.

Gou Jian bowed heavily to Fan Li and said to him: "Young uncle, the widow now knows that before the defeat of Wu, you and the doctor persuaded me to stay for a few months, and now the opportunity to destroy Wu has been missed, the husband hates me, and he will definitely attack in the coming year, although the widow has returned to the country, but in order to no longer be humiliated, how should I do it?" Please also teach me! ”

Fan Li's twelve-rank lord system proposed before the war played a very good role in the war, and the Yue people sent troops this time to resist the enslavement of Wu, plus the encouragement of military merit, naturally more heroic. Gou Jian saw this in his eyes and was happy in his heart, he thought that Fan Li still had more ideas that he hadn't said, this person was no better than the literary genre, and he would dig out his heart and lungs for Gou Jian, and he would often keep a hand.

Seeing Gou Jian like this, Fan Li could only show his housekeeping skills, he hurriedly helped King Yue up, and said: "As long as it is a strategy that can make Yue strong and prosperous, how dare the subordinates hide their secrets?" ”

So next, Fan Li told Gou Jian about several strategies he thought about during the war.

"First, it is still the king's consistent policy, to appease the exiles, reclaim wasteland, and lightly punish the meager endowments, so that the Yue people can rest, and I am also grateful for the king's kindness."

"Second, since all the lost lands have been recovered, it is time to organize the Yue tribes in the territory and the Yue tribes in the outer Yue to realize the unity of the people. The situation in the Yue Kingdom is that there are too many tribes and too many small towns, so it is better to follow the example of Zhao and implement the ten-army system in the villages, so that it can be convenient to count the population of the whole country and recruit them into the army. ”

Many places in the Yue country are still in the tribal era, the Yue people of different clans hide in the deep mountains and old forests without showing their faces, Gou Jian is just the head of the tribal alliance for them, Fan Li's suggestion, can allow the Yue country to strengthen domestic rule, the scattered population into economic and military power.

"Third, in this battle, because the government treasury did not have enough weapons, the Yue people could only take agricultural tools and even bamboo and wood to make spears, and hurriedly responded to the battle. There was already a lot of gold and tin in the Yue Kingdom, but unfortunately it was deprived by the Wu State in the past, and now that the Yue has been restored, the king should revitalize mining and copper smelting. In addition, after Zhao Guo got the Yue State Sword Casting Master Mo Xie, now he has been able to make more than 10,000 iron soldiers, ring head knives, iron halberds, etc. are as miserable as bees, since Zhao can be so, Yue Guo can also be like this, the king is better to look for skilled craftsmen in the people, and smelt iron, a few years later, the Yue people can hold sharp weapons and slaughter Wu State! ”

"Fourth, this time to attack Wu, the king was constrained by the lack of soldiers, although the Chinese people were high morale at the beginning of the war, but as the rice matured, shrimp and crabs could be caught, most people lost the will to fight, and there were even groups of people who returned to their hometowns on their own. The law does not blame the public, and the king can only kill the leader to set an example, but this incident also shows that the Yue country must have a perennial soldier who can fight, just like the military pawn of the Zhao country. Why don't the kings build a gentleman's army with their henchmen? ”

"Good!" Gou Jian is as good as a stream, and these three things are allowed one by one, especially the fourth one, which is in the hands of his wanton expansion of the army.

"And the fifth ......"

He said four strategies to destroy Wu in one breath, but Fan Li didn't feel tired at all, he faintly thought in his heart that Zhao Guo could defeat Wu Guo and Yue Guo could win the current opportunity, to a large extent, it was Xizi who exchanged her body for it, every time he thought of this, Fan Li felt cramping, and he could only devote his energy to helping Gou Jian Xingyue to make himself feel better.

He continued: "Fifth, the king should remember that destroying Wu is not a day's work, and destroying Wu is not the end. ”

Gou Jian asked: "What the young uncle is talking about is the land of three rivers and five lakes?" ”

The territory of the Yue Kingdom is as far as Juwu in the south, Yu'er in the north, Yin in the east, and Gu in the west. To the north of Yu'er, there is the so-called land of three rivers and five lakes, that is, Shanghai, Jiaxing, and Huzhou in later generations.

Three rivers and five lakes, each other is a belt, and the negative sea controls the river. It is not only the only place for the boat master to enter and exit Wudi, but also the more rare is the fertile river plain, rich in fish and salt, and it is a relatively densely populated area between Wu and Yue.

For this, Gou Jian attaches great importance to it, although he can only control the south of the five lakes, but for Sanjiang, he also burned all the cities of Wu State, so that the enemy can not hold on, so that it is convenient for the next march.

Fan Li nodded, shook his head again, and said: "Not only the three rivers and five lakes, the king, please take a look at the surrounding areas of the Yue Kingdom, in addition to the Wu Kingdom in the north and the Great Overseas in the East, in fact, whether it is to the south or to the west, you can greatly expand the borders of the country and accommodate the population." ”

"For example, the area east of Pengli Lake, also known as Fan, has been occupied by Ganyue for a long time. Ganyue had surrendered to the state of Chu, but after the invasion of the state of Wu to the west, the state of Chu had retreated to the west of Pengli Lake, and this place, which was larger than the mainland of the Yue state, suddenly became a borderless land......"

"There is also the south of the Yue country, it is the land of Ouyue, the people of Ouyue live, the minister has sent people to visit, the east of this place is a huge sea, the west is a heavy mountain, and the water and land are good, if it can be opened up as the rear of the Yue country, it is wonderful."

Gou Jian was a little puzzled, why would Fan Li be interested in these poor and remote places?

"The king is the king of the Yue people, whether it is Gan Yue or Ou Yue, his habit is to be tattooed, wrong arm left side, similar to Yu Yue, and there is no obstacle to speech. There were no major states in these two places, and the tribal towns could submit to the king as long as they were slightly threatened, and the local people were fierce and simple, and as long as they were given a little reward, they could charge into battle as warriors. This not only broadens the depth of the Yue country, but also increases the source of soldiers, why not do it? ”

Gou Jian was overjoyed and agreed with Fan Li's suggestion to make it easier for the literary genre to be responsible for the domestic system, and let Fan Li immediately start to appease Ganyue and Ouyue.

However, what he didn't know was that Fan Li had another reason in his heart that he hadn't said......

……

In mid-November, on the eve of the winter solstice, just when the three parties of Wu, Chu and Yue in the south continued to wrestle in Jianghuai, Zhao Hou Wuxian finally returned to Yecheng after a half-year absence.

This time, the four-month-old newborn Zhao Yan became Zhao Wuxian's new favorite, but the little guy looked very lazy, and he was teased by Zhao Wuxian for a while, so he was sleepy and fell asleep by Ji Huan.

This night, Zhao Wuxian chose to rest in the Changqiu Palace of the main lady, he changed into a regular clothes, took the homework of Zhao Heng, the prince of Zhao State, and told Le Lingzi about his arrangements for Le Lingzi.

Le Shi was naturally overjoyed, but she was still worried in the joy, and under Zhao Wuxian's inquiry, she said a little sadly: "The weather is too cold this month, so that the master (Bian Que) also has a slight illness, which has never been done before......"

Bian Que is almost ninety years old, and this old man has lived longer than his son Ji Zha, because he is proficient in medical skills and pays attention to his diet and daily life, he has almost never been sick in the past, which makes people feel that the medical ancestor is immune to all diseases.

However, in fact, no matter how clever the doctor is, he is also a human being, he is a mortal fetus, this time he is sick, but the old man is not lightly tossed, and after self-diagnosis and treatment, it is not easy to recover, but the spirit is a little worse, no wonder Le Lingzi is so worried.

Zhao Wuxian promised to visit Bian Que in the city the next day, but early the next morning, before he could change his clothes and go out, Xichi, the priest of Zhao State, happily ran to inform Zhao Hou of a "great news".

"Congratulations, the Son of Heaven has sent Liu Gong to pay respects!" (To be continued.) )
