Qingji immediately got up, put his posture very low and said to Sun Ping's father and son: "If the second secretary doesn't agree to Qingji, what face does Qingji have to go to see the Wu people, and what face does he have to assume the respect of King Wu?" ”

"Qingji is willing to worship Sun Qing as the Great Sima, Shangqing, and Taishi, and listen to the teachings day and night!"

"When Mr. Changqing is the little Sima and the doctor, train the soldiers, and govern the military and politics!"

Qingji gave an extremely generous treatment.

The state of Wu basically inherited the official etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty.

Handsome his subordinates and in charge of the state government, in order to support the king of the country!

Sima's subordinate officials were called "political officials".

Including the first big Sima Qing, the second junior Sima Zhong, the fourth military Sima Xia doctor, the eighth sergeant of the public Sima, the sixteenth sergeant of the line Sima, and the thirty-second corporal of the brigade.

Da Sima is naturally the supreme commander of a country's army, equivalent to a general.

Naturally, the power in this is not to be underestimated.

Qingji is now inviting Sun Ping, Sun Wu and his son to work for him, and he is out of Wu State, which can be described as well-intentioned!

How can it not be embarrassing to offer such generous conditions?

Sun Ping suddenly said with sincere fear: "The king, don't torture the grass people father and son like this!" ”

"Sun Qing's father and son are willing to help the widow?"

Hearing this, Sun Ping and Sun Wu both glanced at each other and nodded silently.

Qingji got two talents after all!

However, Sun Bing didn't dare to accept the preferential treatment offered by Qingji.

Joke!

Da Sima, Shangqing, and Taishi?

Also let Wu Wang Qingji give Sun Ping's disciple courtesy?

Sun Ping is impatient!

The cunning rabbit died, the lackeys cooked, the birds were exhausted, and the truth of the good bow was hidden, and Sun Ping, who was well versed in the world, knew it very well.

Now Qingji still needs himself, and he may still treat each other politely, and he doesn't dare to eradicate the ministers.

And once Qingji gains power, when they don't need their father and son, the disaster of raiding the family and destroying the clan may come unexpectedly!

Sun Ping has no doubt about this.

Therefore, Sun Ping only asked Qingji to worship himself as the Great Sima, and Sun Wu as the middle doctor and general, and did not dare to ask for too much extravagance!

Qingji is also happy to let it go.

After all, Sun Wu is indeed a great talent, but he must not be promoted too high at once, lest he reach the point where he cannot be sealed in the future!

As for Sun Ping, he used to be the secretary of Qi State, and his reputation was outside, and Qingji appointed Sun Ping as the Great Sima and took charge of the military power of Wu State, presumably the courtiers were unlikely to have objections.

After nightfall, Qingji discussed "The Art of War" with Sun Ping and Sun Wu, father and son, and studied each other, but they gained a lot.

After all, Qingji's usual interest is to study the art of war, which may not be as good as Sun Wu, but in terms of actual combat, maybe Sun Wu is not as good as Qingji!

The next day, Qingji took Sun Ping's father and son back to Wudu City.

Qingji had just announced his appointment to Sun Ping and Sun Wu in the court, when he suddenly received bad news.

"Report - King, Wuyuan Battle Report!"

A dusty soldier entered the main hall, knelt on the steps of the imperial pond, and asked the temple people on one side to hand the bamboo slips to Qingji to read.

Wuyuan battle report?

Qingji's heart chuckled, and he had a sense of foreboding.

Wuyuan, an important city in the south of Wu State, is now a battleground for soldiers!

Not long ago, Qingji Shicai sent Meng Ben to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to Wuyuan, sit in the city, and ordered him not to fight without authorization.

You must know that at the moment, there are only two or three thousand soldiers in Helu, and it is very easy for Meng Ben to defend Wuyuan City.

Could it be that Wuyuan City has changed hands, and Meng Ben has been defeated?

Qingji opened the battle report and looked at it, and immediately frowned.

Sure enough, Wuyuan City has fallen, and Meng Ben has been defeated!

Meng Ben led the army to occupy Wuyuan City first, and Gayin Lu was still busy gathering the rout, delaying time.

But the Lu army still followed, and the troops came to the city.

In order to deal with the enemy's attack, Meng Ben held the city while sending a group of soldiers and horses to camp thirty miles outside the city, bury the antlers deeply, and make the horns into a horn.

That's fine in itself!

This is a common method used by soldiers.

It's a pity that Meng Ben still underestimated Wu Zixu's strategy!

After nightfall, taking advantage of the fact that Meng Ben's troops and horses were not firmly established, the commander of the Lu army drove straight into and attacked his camp at night.

Meng Ben hurriedly led his troops to help, but at this time, Wu Zixu led another army and horses, pretending to be a rout, and deceived into Wuyuan City!

In the end, Meng Ben could only watch the fallen city full of grief and anger, and he was helpless.

"Retreat!"

Qingji stood up involuntarily, waved his sleeves, and walked away.

Only a group of ministers and doctors were left looking at each other, unaware of it!

They could more or less guess in their hearts that most of the Wuyuan fronts had suffered defeats.

As for the countermeasures, Qingji did not intend to discuss them in the court.

Why?

Because Qingji is still uncertain, among the courtiers, who is still secretly communicating with Lu Lu, and the thief's heart is not dead.

Therefore, Qingji must be prevented before it happens!

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Qingji only left Sun Ping and Sun Wu to wait for the deliberations in the side hall.

Qingji sat on one side and handed the bamboo slip of the Wuyuan battle report in his hand to Sun Ping's father and son in front of him.

After reading the contents of the bamboo slips, Sun Ping and Sun Wu couldn't help but glance at each other, their faces were quite strange.

"Wuyuan is lost, and the thieves are revived. Erqing thinks, how should the widow respond? ”

Qingji didn't figure it out on his own!

He asked Yu Sun Ping's father and son, only seeking countermeasures.

After all, Qingji is now the king of Wu, the king of a country, and it is impossible to do everything himself, and he is too thoughtful!

Hearing this, Sun Ping and Sun Wu both began to bow their heads and ponder.

Sun Wu first said: "The king wants to be the king of Wu, or to dominate the world?" ”

"Naturally, it is to dominate the world."

Qingji said in a deep voice in an undoubted tone: "The grand plan to be established in the hearts of the widows is comparable to the nine princes of Qi Huan and Jin Wen, and the world is one!" ”

"If there is an opportunity, the widow should establish an immortal deed that transcends the ancient and modern times and transcends the kings of the previous generations!"

"Good!"

Sun Wu bowed his head slightly and said: "In this case, the ministers think that the king should ignore Wu Yuan, concentrate on governing the country and the army, and give the people a rest and recuperation." ”

"Ignore Wu Yuan?"

Qingji's face remained unchanged, but he was noncommittal to Sun Wu's advice.

Sun Ping, who was on one side, changed color for it!

Sun Ping hurriedly said: "King, this is Xiao'er's unintentional words, and I ask the king to forgive Sun Wu's mistakes." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Qingji doesn't mind much!

"We wait for the monarchs and ministers to sit down and discuss, and the second and third sons can express their opinions, and they will be convicted without words."

Sun Ping would annoy Qingji just because Sun Wu persuaded Qingji to give up Wuyuan, but obviously he didn't!

Qingji has never been a person with a small belly, and it is impossible to cure someone's sins with someone's words.

Qingji's abandonment of Wuyuan indicates that he will take the initiative to give up nearly one-sixth of the city land of Wu State!

Isn't it a sin to encourage kings to abandon their lands?

If he were an ordinary monarch, Sun Wu would have been disgraced or beheaded.
