Chapter 25: Quarrel Again
Zhou Yu didn't expect Yang Zaixing's force to be so powerful. With a happy mouth, it seems that he has picked up a treasure.
After that, Gao Pet went back to his camp with a sullen black face. And Yang Zaixing's prestige also spread among the soldiers of the Han army, and the deputy generals were so powerful, which also raised the reputation of the main general Zhou Yu. After that, everyone had no opinion on the new promotion.
In the blink of an eye, it was the autumn harvest season, in addition to exempting part of the taxes, plus one-third of the property seized during the attack on the Qi State. Although the Qi State was beaten and almost wiped out, it was fortunate that it survived, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. After the autumn harvest, the princes had enough grain and grass, and some princes were ready to sharpen their knives and do some other small actions.
In the court of Wu State, a group of civil and military officers were waiting for the decision of the husband. In order to be able to fight against other countries wholeheartedly in the future, Fucha decided to destroy the Yue Kingdom first. Wu Wangfucha's eyes scanned back and forth at the people in the hall, "I have made up my mind, and I have ordered Wu Zixu to be the guard, Bo Yao to be the Taishou of Gusu City, Sun Wu to be the governor of the Southern Expedition, and this king will set off with the army tomorrow to attack the Yue Kingdom." After receiving the order, the courtiers prepared their own relevant matters.
At noon the next day, Sun Wu led the generals and set off with 50,000 soldiers. Sun Wu took Sun Ce, the junior of the family, as the vanguard and marched towards the city of Yuhang, Yue Kingdom.
Regarding the invasion of Wu, Yue Wang Yunchang was not worried at all, thinking that Wu was just a paper tiger, and Wu was able to win in Chu only because Chu did not do his best, just like attacking Qi, only Wu did not have any record in the Quartet. Therefore, Yun Chang does not think that Yue Guo can be much worse than Wu Guo. Send his fierce general Jas to guard the city of Yuhang. He is still in the palace, and it is still a normal singing and drinking banquet. Only the persuasion of the subordinates continued to be bitter, but it had no effect. Instead, he was punished, saying that he was disturbing the morale of the army.
Sun Ce led the first 10,000 soldiers, and came to Yuhang after two days of rapid marching, and the guard general Jia Si was still drinking with his men, and everyone was drunk and said, "After tonight, Wu will come over tomorrow afternoon, and the time for meritorious service has finally arrived. Come to the full top and continue to drink. ”
Sun Ce, who came to the front of Yuhang City, let the soldiers rest and recover their strength, and immediately led the soldiers to attack the city. Because the Vietnamese army in Yuhang City was unprepared, the guards on the city wall were also sparse, and the resistance was very weak. Under the leadership of Sun Ce, the Wu army attacked the Yuhang City Gate once and lost it. The senior generals of the Yue Kingdom were still in a drunken dream, but unfortunately when Sun Ce led the attack on the city, these generals were all cut off by Wu Jun as military merits while they were still asleep.
With this as the center, Sun Ce collected all the cities in the northern part of the Yue Kingdom to ensure the safety of the supply line. On the one hand, waiting for the follow-up troops, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on the vanguard to capture the capital of the Yue Kingdom. Yue Wang Yunchang learned that the 15,000 defenders of Yuhang City were broken in a snap of a finger, and angrily smashed things in the palace. "Bastard, does Jas have a pig's head? How did this thing fight, 15,000 soldiers, even 15,000 pigs, Wu Jun cut it for a day, how could it be annihilated by Wu Jun in one hour. ”
Wen Chong looked at his lord, his eyes were full of disappointment, but he still did his duty as a courtier. "King, the Wu army is about to attack, please prepare early to prepare to defend to the death, hoard grain and grass, and carry heavy baggage, Wu sent half of its troops to attack our country, and Wu and Chu have a grudge, and Chu will never sit idly by. It only takes a while for the Wu army to retreat, and then we can take the opportunity to recover the city or counterattack the Wu state. And the prince Gou Jian, who was staying aside, also stood up and said that the method was feasible. I would like to do so quickly.
Yue Wang Yunchang glanced at Wen Chong lightly, and was silent for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement. Let the genre prepare according to your own ideas. Just three days after Wen Chong's preparation, the Wu army led by Sun Wu led an army of 50,000 to Huiji City, and the 50,000 Wu army surrounded Huiji City.
In the evening, in the palace of Yue Guo, "King, I am willing to go out of the city to negotiate with King Wu, Chen Qing has interests, dissuade the Wu army from attacking the city, and let him retreat." "The doctor of the Yue Kingdom, Zhu Jiying, bowed his hand and asked the king of Yue.
Yun Chang looked at the old courtiers who had followed him for decades, and his eyes were shining. "Sure enough, it is a tribulation to see loyal ministers, and to see people's hearts over time. "For the request of the doctor Zhu Jiying, Yue Wang Yunchang couldn't refuse, but he couldn't bear it, who knows if he can come back.
Seeing that the king did not respond for a long time, the doctor Zhu Jiying asked again, and after finally getting permission, he went to the Wu army camp alone.
Wu Wangfu personally poured a glass of wine for the young general in front of him, "This glass of wine, this king thanks General Sun Ce for his dedication, and broke the city of Yuhang in a snap of his fingers." I have Bo Fu really strengthened the wings of a tiger, I have done it, and I congratulate General Bo Fu on making new contributions. ”
Sun Ce took the wine glass with a smile on his face and was about to thank him. A soldier outside the tent spoke. "Newspaper, my lord. Outside, there were envoys from the Yue Kingdom asking to see them. After receiving permission from the husband, the soldier who had delivered the message went out, and in a short time brought Zhu Jiying, the doctor of the Yue Kingdom, to the tent.
Zhu Ji Yingwan wanted to mark the etiquette: "The envoys of the Yue Kingdom have seen King Wu, I don't know that King Wu came with troops this time, but our king has done something sorry for you?"
"Doctors are really old and easy to forget. But this king's memory is good, before this king led his troops to attack the Qi country, you Yue Guo is a little restless. What do you think I should do?" Wu Wangfu said with a sneer.
"King Wu, you misunderstood, before my king heard that Wu was at war with Qi in front, and heard that the Wu army lost heavy grain and grass, so we prepared a large amount of grain and grass to support the soldiers of the Wu army. It's just that the Wu army retreated too quickly, so my king didn't continue to hoard grain and grass, and King Wu shouldn't listen to other people's slander and ruin the friendship between our two countries. My king is sincerely friendly with your country, and I am willing to offer 100,000 stones, grain and grass, and 5,000 gold, and I only ask King Wu to withdraw his troops. We are willing to form an alliance with Wu Guoyong. ”
"Hmph, 100,000 stone grain and grass, 5,000 gold, just such a little thing sent me away, when I am called Huazi? It seems that your sincerity is not very good, it seems that I still start to take Yue Guo into my pocket more steadily. The husband said impatiently.
"King Wu, your army of Wu is strong and strong, but our Yue army is not dry, and if it swallows our Yue country, I believe it will also break a few of your front teeth, which will not be good for everyone. Doctor Zhu Jiying said a little angrily.
Hearing this, Fucha suddenly couldn't sit still, called the soldiers outside, pulled Zhu Jiying out and cut him off, and hung his head on a pole to deter the Vietnamese army.
