Chapter 059: The Battle of National Fortune

"Great King, the old minister thinks that the Yue people should not join forces with the Chu State to attack Wu!"

Dazai Jizai frowned and said, "There are two reasons. First, Wu and Yue signed an alliance at the right time, and there was a good marriage, and Yue Ji was on the way to Wu. ”

"Second, if Wu and Chu are at war, how can the Yue people easily go to the other side?"

"It must be known that since the dream of the first Wang Shoumeng, in the past 60 years, Wu and Chu have fought ten times, and our Wu country has six wins, three draws and one loss, and has repeatedly broken the Chu army."

"Such a Wu teacher, such a Chu teacher, how can Yue Guo not watch from the wall to observe the changes of time?"

Hearing this, Qingji nodded thoughtfully and agreed.

You must know that thanks to the unremitting efforts of the kings of Wu and the external expansion, the territory of Wu is actually very vast, and throughout the world, it is second only to the three major overlords of Jin, Chu and Qi, and is on a par with Qin!

Of course, the state of Wu is the same as the state of Chu, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the territory of the state of Wu is less than half of the state of Chu, not to mention the population and military strength.

Rao is like this, Wu State can still have the upper hand in the war with Chu State!

Wu State since the beginning of Shoumeng, through the Fan, Yu sacrifice, Yi Mo (i.e., Yu) kings, until the Wu Wang, before and after more than 60 years, Wu and Chu attacked each other, and broke out ten large-scale wars.

Most of these battles were Wu's offensive and Chu's counter-offensive, focusing on the area from the Huai River valley to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

And the result is what Jizha said, Wu Guo has six wins, three draws and one loss, and has achieved a remarkable record!

The state of Wu became stronger and stronger, completely curbing the momentum of the eastward expansion of the Chu people.

If Yue Wang Yunchang tried to get involved and join Chu to fight Wu, wouldn't he have to weigh how many catties and taels he had?

Don't you have to weigh it, can the Chu army defeat the unstoppable Wu army in a shame?

Moreover, now that Wu Yue is already a country of marriage, the more people want to attack Wu, why can't they cast a rat trap?

"Dazai's words have a point."

Qingji said slowly: "At this time, Yun Chang must be indecisive between fighting Wu for Lianchu and quietly watching the changes. In this case, we should take the first step to send an envoy to stabilize the Yue Kingdom and make it stand still, so as to contain Ji Guang in the south. ”

"The king is wise!"

Ji Za, Sun Ping, and Sun Wu were all impressed and praised loudly.

"Having said that, I can't be completely defenseless!"

Qingji squinted his eyes and said: "Once the Yue people really unite with Ji Guang and attack north, and my Dawu has no guards and horses, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Da Sima, you immediately issue a conscription order, all my Wu people, over the age of seventeen, and men under the age of forty, must prepare sufficient weapons and armor and enlist in the army!"

"Yui!"

Sun Ping immediately received the order.

Qingji looked at Sun Wu's body again and asked, "Changqing, the widow gave you 5,000 foot soldiers, ready to trap the camp, do you dare to lead the army south to Wuyuan and sit in the south for the widow?" ”

"Minister, obey the king's orders!"

Sun Wu immediately agreed to come down without hesitation.

This time, Sun Wu's task is very difficult!

If it was just a defeat in the face of the remnants of the army on the Lu side, perhaps Sun Wu's 5,000 soldiers would be able to take the opportunity to recover Wuyuan, Yu'er, Li and other places.

However, if there is a large-scale war in the south this time, the enemy will inevitably be a ruthless army of soldiers and horses, plus a fierce Vietnamese army!

In this way, if there is no Sun Wu in the south, Qingji is really not at ease.

"King, over there in Hanguo, you also need to be careful."

Dazai Jiza reminded.

Qingji bowed his head slightly and said, "Good." Han may have already colluded with the Chu people and went south to invade our Great Wu, Zhufang, and Yunyang. ”

"However, the widow heard that King Han was brutal, did not cultivate virtue and politics in the country, and was reckless in his army, and often sent troops to attack Huaiyi and annex various tribes in Huaiyi."

"Such a king, such a country, don't worry! The widow can make the soldiers and civilians of Zhu Fang and Yunyang fortify the wilderness and stick to the city, and once the Chu army is defeated, the Han people should retreat and the siege of the northern part of Dawu will be relieved. ”

"Color!"

Ji Zazan said: "King Mingjian. Now, the great enemy of my Wu State is the Chu people, in the past, the Chu State attacked Wu, and tens of thousands of troops were at every turn, but this time I am afraid that it will not be an exception! ”

"I wonder how many soldiers and horses the king will dispatch in the country to fight against the Chu army?"

"How many, as many as the widow wants."

Qingji said in a deep voice: "This time, it is a battle for the widow to be the king, the battle of the national fortune of the Wu country, Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose!" ”

"However, when this crisis is in place, my Wu country will fight a quick battle."

Hearing this, Ji Za, Sun Ping, and Sun Wu, the three important ministers, all nodded deeply and agreed.

This time, the ambitions of the Chu people are obvious.

The new king of Wu was first established, the hearts of the people in the country were floating, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be revived, and the Chu people just wanted to take this opportunity to attack and destroy the Wu State, no matter how bad it was, they could tear off a piece of the meat of the Wu State and turn defense into offense!

Immediately, Qingji issued four orders in a row.

First, the fate of the doctor Bo Yu sent an envoy to Yue again, lobbied Yun Chang to hold his troops still, and contained the Lu who had seized the south of Wu.

Second, he ordered Sun Wu to be the general of the expedition to the south, increase the rank of governor, lead an army of 5,000, and go south to Wuyuan to guard against the incoming enemy.

It is worth mentioning that Sun Wu, who increased the rank of governor, can control the military and civilians of various cities in the south, and has the right to cut first and then play!

Third, he ordered Meng Ben to sit in Zhufang and Yunyang in the north of Wu State, fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, and prepare to resist the Han army.

Fourth, mobilize the whole country, all young and strong people over the age of 17 and under the age of 40 must respond to the call and enlist in the army!

In addition, Keiji will personally lead a large army to reinforce the battle on the front line of Luzi, and the capital of Wu will be handed over to Dazai Jiza to defend.

……

Merry.

City gates!

A notice was posted on the bulletin board, and Li Shu, who came and went, gathered one after another, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, all of them stood on tiptoe, looking forward to it!

The official standing on the side of the notice coughed lightly, and then said solemnly: "Second and third sons, this is a conscription order issued by the king!" ”

"Wang Zhao: The Chu people attacked me, raised an unrighteous army and attacked Luzi, and robbed while the fire was burning, his crimes are too numerous to be written, and his deeds are full of bad deeds."

"This Cheng Dawu is in danger of survival!"

"All my Wu people, when the top and bottom are of the same mind, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and keep the enemy outside the country."

"Men over seventeen years old and under forty years old must prepare their own weapons and armor, hurry to the government office, and enlist in the army!"

"β€”β€”October of the first year of Wang Qingji!"

The officials read out the contents of the conscription order one by one and published them to the public.

Hearing the news of the Chu people's attack on Wu, the onlookers of Wu Guo Li Shu couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation, and gritted their teeth with hatred!

"How can this be true? Chu Manzi dared to take advantage of the new establishment of my king to raise troops to attack Wu! ”

"Doesn't it mean that Wu and Chu have already concluded a non-aggression pact? Why did the Chu people come to commit it? ”

"Humph! How can the nonsense of the Chu people be trusted? After all, the Chu people are from a barbarian background, they are shameless, the Chu State has no faith in its words, and there are few things that go back on their word? ”

A young man with strong blood clenched his fists, his face full of indignation, and said: "Everyone, I am waiting for the Meili people, but the old Wu people!" Now that the country is in trouble, how can we sit idly by? ”

"Let's go! Join the army and go! ”

"Teach these Chu barbarians a lesson!"
