At this moment, Qingji didn't know that there was a fire in the backyard, two unruly girls met, and the vinegar jar was poured down, and he only said that there were Liang Huzi, Jing Lin, Sun Wu, and Yingtao in the rear. Qingji was very happy at this moment, because he met Fan Li.

Fan Li and Wen Chong are now two young people in the officialdom of Chu State, and their positions are only doctors, and their ability to govern the country may not be as old as when they were in the Yue Kingdom, after all, political ability is also tempered little by little. But the qualifications of the two of them are there, they are definitely two potential stocks with excellent performance, as long as they are sharpened over time, they will become star-studded political stars.

Qingji is the most lacking talent now, how can he not yearn for such an outstanding person. However, to recruit talents, you must also have a certain strength, people do not want your glory, wealth, fame and fortune, but also want to be able to show your strength under you, and repay the loss in your life, in order to celebrate the current conditions, and do not have the conditions to dig into the corners of the Chu State.

However, in his mind, the historical Fan Li and Wen Chong did not do a good doctor in the Chu State, but went to the Yue State to assist a Gou Jian who was almost dying, and there must be a reason why they had to leave the Chu State. Now that they are fortunate to meet them, they might as well have a good relationship with them and set up a set of friendships with each other, so when they can't get along in Chu and are ready to change jobs, their good friend will inevitably become their first choice.

You must know that Qingji is a prince, and Fan Li's current position is only equivalent to the later county order, and he is also a liuguan, not a son inheriting his father's position, and the Xunqing passed down from generation to generation.

Knowing the meaning of Qingji, Fan Li was very happy, because the border between Chu and Yue was not clear, they fought every year, just the year before last, Qingji, Baoyu, and Candle Yong also led the three-way army to attack Chu, and both sides were enemies. However, now Ji Guang sent troops to attack Chu, burning, killing, looting, annihilating silver and plundering, but he has become a common enemy of both sides, and the common interests have made the former enemy become today's comrades-in-arms.

Qingji is the rightful heir of the Wu State, if there is a legally most authentic heir of the Wu State on their side when the Chu State and the Wu State are at war, then morally, they are the teachers of justice and uphold justice for the Wu people. In essence, it can not only increase a new force to relieve the siege of Chu, but also affect the combat effectiveness of the Wu people to the greatest extent.

As long as the banner of supporting Baoqing and recovering the country is raised, it will have a major impact on the morale of the Wu army. Once Qingji is restored and the state of Chu and the state of Wu are ennobled, the two sides can try to resolve the border issue peacefully through negotiations, so that the state of Chu can draw a large number of troops to deal with the threat from the northern Qiangjin and other countries. At the very least, the truce with the state of Wu is very powerful for the state of Chu to recuperate.

Therefore, Fan Li was also very polite to Qingji, invited him into the county doctor's mansion, treated him as a courtesy, and arranged food and accommodation by his wife herself, and at the same time assigned several horses to inquire about the news of Yingdu, so as to escort Qingji to see the king of Chu.

For three consecutive days, Qingji lived in Fan Li's mansion, and the two had leisure to talk, talking about the general trend of the world, governing the country, each expressing his own opinions, each having an opportunity, and admiring each other's ability and knowledge. The two are of the same age, they can already talk, Qingji is interested in making friends, and after three or two, the two have become very good friends who talk about everything.

This afternoon, Fan Li hurriedly came to invite Qingji, Qingji followed him to the front hall to sit down, only to see that there were already two men in Ge robes standing in front of the hall, one was thin and short, with a dark complexion, a slight beard under the chin, and a somewhat obscene appearance, and the other seemed to be burly and strong, with a square face and a word hanging eyebrows, the two of them stood there, with different descriptions, but they were still a white robe and a black robe, looking like black and white impermanence, Qingji couldn't help but pay attention to look at it twice.

"Oh, these two people, I sent them to inquire about the news, and they just got the news from Yingdu, so I specially asked His Highness to listen to their news together."

Fan Li frowned, obviously he had already gotten some news from the two spies, he invited Qingji to take a seat, and worriedly instructed the thin man in black robes: "Tell your news to Your Highness, and try to be as detailed as possible." ”

"Yes, sir!" The man hurriedly clenched his fists and agreed, and then told everything he knew and heard.

More than 20 days ago, Wu Guo covered Yu and Candle Yong's troops were defeated and fled, and then Wu Zixu led 5,000 troops to the front line to chase and kill Bao Yu and Candle Yong, and broke through several small cities along the way, because those cities were small countries vassal to Chu State, not Chu itself, and the Chu people only watched from the wall and did not send troops to resist.

A few days later, Wu Wang Ji Guangtu led an army of 30,000 to the state of Chu, and joined forces with Wu Zixu and Bo Yu, with a total of 55,000 soldiers. When the state of Chu got the news, the Wu [***] team descended from the sky like a divine soldier, and suddenly appeared in Baiju inexplicably.

When the news reached Yingdu, the Chu people were shocked and immediately ordered to send troops to help the six vassal states of Dun, Hu, Chen, Shen, Xu and Cai, and transfer the main force of the Chu army to reinforce Baiju.

The Wu people marched so fast, and they knew the location of the troops stationed in various places and the number of troops in the Chu people, which caught the Chu people off guard, and the Chu people, who had always been accustomed to fighting on the outside line, had never imagined that someone would attack their doors and appear in their capital, panicked for a while, and the dispatch failed, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops guarding the periphery, but they were drilled into the belly by the Wu people, and the world was turned upside down.

It was only at this time that Chu knew that Tang and Cai, who had always submitted to them, had actually taken refuge in Wu and fought against Chu in turn. All this is thanks to the Chu state order Yin Nangwa, when the kings of Tang and Cai went to Yingcheng, the capital of Chu, Nangwa asked for too much bribes from the kings of Tang and Cai, and the two small monarchs could not satisfy Nangwa's greed, and were imprisoned by him for three years, until the two countries sent generous gifts, and were released.

On the surface, the monarchs of the two small countries still obeyed the orders of the head of the Chu State, but after they returned to China, they swore to the heavens that no matter who the whole world was, as long as they sent troops to attack Chu, they would definitely follow. This news has long been grasped by Wu Zixu, the prime minister of Wu State, when Ji Guang heard that they got the geographical force distribution map of Chu State, Ji Guang, who is also familiar with military affairs, naturally deeply understands the great significance it represents, and can't help but be ecstatic.

The geography will not change, but if it is too long, it is difficult to ensure that the garrison and strength of the Chu [***] team will not change, so he immediately decided to immediately send troops to attack Chu, take the Chu capital in one fell swoop, deter the princes of the world, and establish an immortal hegemony.

However, Wudu Gusu is too far away from the Chu capital Yingcheng, the biggest difficulty of the Wu division is the military supply, although the Wu army is brave and good at fighting, but the number of soldiers is far inferior to the Chu people, so if you want to capture Yingdu, only lightning troops, straight into the key point, so the supply has become a problem, so the Tang and Cai two [***] lords who have long vowed to take revenge on the Chu people have become their firm allies, responsible for providing them with military supplies.

Even so, Cai and Tang couldn't catch up with the offensive speed of the Wu army if they wanted to transport a large amount of grain and grass immediately, and at the same time, in order to continue to inspire the soldiers, so Wu Wang Jiguang gave an order to do it himself and have enough food and clothing.

It is because of the beggars who stand and lie down, there is no ridge on the ground, and there is no tile in the house, whether it is the minister or the doctor, or the common people of Chu State, but when they hear the name of the Wu people, they all look away from the wind, and this is the scene of the great escape of the people of the entire Chu State. In fact, the territory of Chu is too broad, and it is impossible for tens of thousands of troops of Wu to open such a long front, and what they are attacking is only the first line of Yingcheng, the capital of Chu.

Of course, the Chu people didn't know that the Wu people were so interested, because they had already obtained a detailed geographical and military map of the Chu State, and they thought that the Xiangguo and the generals of the Wu State were Wu Zixu and Bo Yu respectively, these two people were originally Chu people, and they had not been away from the Chu State for a few years, so they knew too much about the geography of the Chu State.

Qingji listened with bated breath, and only after a while did he ask what he was most concerned about: "Has Ji Guang captured Yingdu?" ”

The man in the white robe said: "The Wu army is advancing quickly, I heard that they have captured Baiju, so that Lord Yin Nangwa immediately returned to the division and set up a defense line in Yunmengze. The Wu division was led by Ji Guang, the king of Wu, Wu Zixu was the commander of the right army, and Bo Que was the chief general of the left army.......

"The result?"

As soon as Qingji asked, the painful look in Fan Li's eyes flashed, and he shook his head gloomily and said: "As a ......result, at such a critical moment, Nangwa is still selfish, making the Five Nations Alliance Army the vanguard, and leading the elite main force of Chu to avoid the rear, hoping that the two sides will fight first and lose both." ”

Speaking of this, he slammed the table case sadly and said: "When the national crisis is at the head, but the outsiders are the main battle, they supervise the war, and they fight together without being united, even if they are ten times the enemy, how can they win?" ”

The white-robed messenger smiled awkwardly, licked his lips and said, "What the doctor said is that Wu Shi took prisoners and recruits as the vanguard, deliberately defeated the army, led the five-nation alliance army to chase and ambush, and then the three-way army rose together, killing them by surprise. As soon as the Five-Nation Coalition Army was defeated, it immediately collapsed into an army, turned back and fled, Wu Division immediately covered up from behind, and the deserters of the Five-Nation Coalition Army overwhelmed the camp of our Chu army, so that they could not resist the attack of Wu Division, and the three armies fled separately, fell into the quagmire, trampled on each other and trampled on each other and countless people died. ”

Qingji couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, he didn't know that Wu Jun was so successful, it was actually a letter from him that reminded Cover Yu and Zhu Yong, and the two of them concocted a Chu [***] force distribution map to borrow Wu Shi's hand to take revenge in order to vent their personal anger. The Chu people were beaten so hard, but it was conducive to convincing them to join forces with him, the question was...... What if Yingdu is attacked and the King of Chu is killed?

The vengeful male god Wu Zixu, that is a character surnamed like a fire, and he hates the king of Chu to the extreme, although the king of Chu Ping has died, but let him catch the son of the king of Chu Ping, the little king of Chu who is only eleven years old, I am afraid that Ji Guang is stopping, he also has to cut off the head of the doll with a sword first, and then say, if the king of Chu dies, the people of Chu are leaderless, and the princes compete for the throne, at that time he sent troops to attack Wu, just to relieve the siege of Chu, I am afraid that the new king of Chu who has an unstable foundation is what he can't ask for, He would never have just ascended the throne and sent a large army to fight Wu with him before he could gain a firm foothold.

"What are your highness's plans now?" Fan Li asked with blazing eyes.

Qingji took a deep breath and said with a solemn face: "Without further ado, Qingji immediately rushed to Yingdu, the high walls of Yingdu City are dangerous, Ji Guang may not be able to attack it, even if he can attack it, presumably His Royal Highness the King of Chu will have enough time to leave." The state of Chu is strong and strong, and a momentary victory or defeat cannot determine anything, and I believe that our cooperation can still continue. ”

Fan Li's eyes showed admiration, and he sighed: "I thought that His Highness would be disheartened and return to defend the country." His Royal Highness is resolute and resolute, and he dares to take risks lightly, which makes His Highness admire. Okay, Dr. Ben and His Royal Highness will go to Yingdu together. ”

Qingji was stunned for a moment and said, "The doctor is also going?" ”

Fan Li raised his eyebrows and said: "Since he is a doctor of the Chu State, he should serve the Chu State." Now Yingdu is in trouble, my king is in danger, although Fan Li is a small official, the soldiers are only hundreds, not only hear the news, but also wear armor and Qin Wang, in order to be loyal. ”

"If the courtiers of the Chu State are as loyal as Doctor Fan, the Chu State will become the largest country in the world." Qingji happily praised: "Come and say that if Qingji can succeed in defeating Wu and recovering the country, I hope that there will be a loyal and talented courtier like Doctor Fan at that time, if I can be an outstanding talent like Doctor, I will be satisfied, and I will worship Xiangguo and seek a great cause!" ”

Fan Li's eyes flashed, and he smiled humbly: "Your Highness praises it falsely, Fan Li is just a county shepherd, a small official, how can he be so valued by His Highness." ”

Qingji smiled and said: "Young uncle doesn't have to be arrogant, the high-ranking people, Wu, Lu, Wei Sanguo, Qingji has also seen a lot, in my eyes, those ministers and doctors are all tied together, and they are not as good as a Fan Li." ”

Fan Li got his praise so much, and suddenly felt like a confidant, his expression was so excited that he turned red, his eyes looked at Qingji brightly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so that he could maintain his calmness: "His Royal Highness values it so much, it really makes Fan Li embarrassed." Without further ado, Fan Li went to gather people and horses, and immediately set off with His Royal Highness to Yingdu. ”
