Chapter 159: A Leopard in the Tube
"What Wu Qing said is reasonable, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable."
Qingji bowed his head slightly and said: "Is it possible for the Yue people to dare to murder the widow, but the widow does not know." However, widows need to be cautious! ”
"The king is wise!"
Wu Zixu, Sun Wu and Fan Li, who were present, immediately complimented them.
They didn't dare to conclude whether Yue Wang Yunchang would risk the world's condemnation and dare to murder Qingji.
It's just that it's essential to be prepared for anything and plan ahead.
Wu Zixu groaned, and then said: "The king, the meeting of the Yu'er River, the minister has a strategy, I hope the king will adopt it." ”
"Please."
"Wu Yue has a feud, but the two countries are adjacent to each other, with a strip of water and similar humanities. My Wu country wants Chu to compete for hegemony, and the king wants to combine the princes of Jiuhe, one Kuang world, and the move of Yue, it is imperative! ”
Wu Zixu said solemnly: "Therefore, the king might as well take advantage of this meeting of the Yu'er River to secretly mobilize a large army to the south, attack and kill Yunchang, smash the meeting in one fell swoop, and annex the land, so as to become a complete confrontation between Wu and Chu!" ”
Hearing this, Qing Ji secretly thought to himself, shook his head, and said, "Wu Qing, your strategy is very inappropriate. ”
"How can a widow murder a widow who invites him to make an offer? Not to mention that Yun Chang died in the Yu'er River, the Yue army will become a mourning army, and the whole country of Yue will also be the same enemy, and stubbornly resist the Wu army that cut down Yue. ”
"Furthermore, at this time, the state of Wu is still not able to swallow the land in one go, once the soldiers of my great Wu country are trapped in the land, what should it be?"
"Now, what the widow needs is a peaceful Wu country, not a Wu country that is desperate and full of holes."
Qingji's mind is very clear.
Not to mention that he disdains to use such despicable means to murder his father-in-law Yunchang.
But as far as the current national strength of Wu is concerned, it is not enough to annex Yue in one go!
And the Yue land is full of mountains and swamps, full of lofty mountains and mountains, full of miasma, and the Yue people are all unruly and unruly, and they do not obey the king, how can Wu easily conquer the Yue country?
The matter of destroying Yue is still too early for Wu Guo at this time!
Rashly launching the war to destroy Yue can only make the Wu State fall into the quagmire of war, unable to extricate itself, and there is an ultra-high risk of being destroyed by the Chu State.
……
"Ten thousand years of the king! Long live the king! ”
On a field in Wuyuan, Qingji was standing on top of the chariot, reviewing the three armies.
As the border army of Wu, the soldiers of the Wu army in Wuyuan are quite strong, good at fighting in the mountains, and are a rare elite.
Qing Ji looked around, only to see the flag covering the sky, the soldiers were wearing crimson robes, helmets and armor, and holding one sharp Changge after another in their hands, up to the sky.
They looked ahead, their faces were serious, and there was an awe-inspiring aura!
Obviously, this is a division that has been tempered by countless golden iron horses.
In this way, Qingji took the Rong car, all the way through the middle of the phalanx, and arrived at the point of the general.
Surrounded by a group of generals, Qingji slowly ascended to the platform.
"Martial arts, let's go!"
As Sun Wu, who was in charge of presiding over the martial arts exercise, gave an order, the order flag in his hand waved, and the generals were under the stage, and the soldiers who were full of energy immediately blew one huge horn after another.
The tactful and whimpering sound of the horn instantly resounded throughout the dome.
Followed by the sound of war drums with a murderous atmosphere, shirtless strong men holding drumsticks and beating cowhide drums vigorously.
I saw that the phalanx under the stage changed instantly, and the soldiers on both sides fell backwards, revealing a large open space.
"Boom!"
The chariot galloped past.
Target after target was erected in front of it.
The soldier on the chariot took out an arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, aimed at the target opposite, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew out.
"Snatch and snatch!"
Basically, every time the soldiers shoot an arrow, they can hit the target.
One man with three arrows, the chariot galloped back and forth.
This made Qingji realize that the archery skills of the soldiers of the Wuyuan border army were very good!
After all, mobile archery is much more difficult than fixed-point archery.
The next martial arts exercise is to demonstrate the soldiers' ability to fight with hand-to-hand.
A full 200 soldiers, engaged in one-on-one combat, whether it was fists and feet, or wrestling, and fell to the ground as a loser.
"Drink!"
A big-shouldered and round-waisted Wu pawn shouted violently and took the lead in throwing a punch at his opponent.
The opponent took a brisk step, dodging the oncoming punch, followed by another sweeping kick, trying to kick him over and back to the ground, but was also avoided.
The two then scuffled together, sweating and rolling on the ground......
After the hand-to-hand combat of individual soldiers, it was another drill of the queue.
The thousands of soldiers present were able to carry out orders and prohibitions, and as the commander waved the order flag, they could all retreat in an orderly manner, advance in an orderly manner, or carry out various and uniform actions such as chopping, slashing, and stabbing.
Looking at the enthusiastic martial arts performance of the soldiers under the stage, Qingji couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and he was very satisfied.
A glimpse of the leopard in the tube!
The fact that the officers and men of the border army in Wuyuan were able to practice to such an extent shows the rigor of their training and their combat effectiveness.
"Changqing, if the widow remembers well, the border army on the front line of Wuyuan and Yu'er should have nearly 4,000 people?"
Qingji immediately set his eyes on the body of the imperial historian Sun Wu.
When Sun Wu heard this, he pondered for a moment before replying, "Exactly." Wuyuan and Yu'er are the southern gateways of our Wu country, always guarding against the invasion of the Yue people to the north, so there are three or four thousand people stationed all year round! ”
"Much."
Qingji shook his head and said: "This time is different from the past, how can the Yue people dare to violate my boundaries again?" ”
"This ...... King, the heart of prevention is indispensable. ”
Qing Ji smiled meaningfully.
Immediately, Sun Wu comprehended the deep meaning!
Sun Wu and the others were still very puzzled before, why did Qingji want to meet with Yue Wang Yunchang in Yu'er River?
Now it seems that the purpose of the celebration is roughly like this.
Wu is vigorously changing the law, and needs a relatively stable external environment, and it is necessary to make peace with the neighboring Chu and Yue countries and not invade each other.
And Qingji and Yunchang will meet in Yu'er River, obviously with deeper intentions!
A border army of three or four thousand people was enough to consolidate the border fortress in the south of Wu.
It's just that the border army of three or four thousand people is equivalent to the young and strong labor force of three or four thousand people in the state of Wu!
If they stay here dryly, not to mention the consumption of a lot of money and food, they will inadvertently reduce the Wu State of many important laborers.
Wu wants to develop the people's livelihood and enrich the country and strengthen the people, but it cannot be done without human resources.
Therefore, Sun Wu has been able to figure out that Qingji most likely wants to dismantle part of the border army, and at the same time consolidate the border defense enough, it will not cause Wu to lose too many young and strong laborers for no reason.
King, it's really painstaking!
Sun Wu secretly praised in his heart.
