Yue country, Luyi.

Luyi is an inferior city, built in less than two years, located in the south of the Yu'er River.

At that time, Wu Wang Qingji and Yue Wang Yun often met in Yu'er River, and agreed that the border garrison between the two countries should not exceed 1,000 people within a radius of 100 miles, and send officials to supervise each other.

But Yun Chang is obviously not worried about Wu Guo.

Because if the Wu army crosses the Yu'er River, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the capital of the Yue Kingdom!

Although the Yue people can rely on the mountains and rivers to block the invasion of the Wu army, the Wu army will come to the city sooner or later.

Therefore, for the sake of insurance, Yunchang levied a lot of labor that year to build Luyi.

This inferior city has become the first line of defense of the Yue Kingdom in the face of the Wu State!

At this moment, Luyi is particularly lively.

Nearly 1,000 soldiers of the border army of Wu crossed the Yu'er River and marched to Luyi.

With such a big movement, it is naturally impossible to hide from the defenders of the Yue Kingdom.

Therefore, the Vietnamese army guarding Luyi hurriedly closed the city gate to prevent the invasion of the Wu army!

The Wu army saluted first and then the soldiers, and the captain led by the captain first took the chariot and came to the gate of Luyi and shouted loudly: "Where is the defender of Luyi?" ”

"I'm the Luyi Guard!"

Above the city, a general of the Yue Kingdom hurriedly poked his head out and asked puzzledly: "Why did your army violate the border of my country?" Aren't you afraid of causing a war between the two countries? ”

"I led the army to come this time to find two lost soldiers!"

Captain Wu said loudly: "Yesterday, two soldiers of my Wu army disappeared, some people said that they saw them captured by your soldiers of the Yue Kingdom and entered Luyi, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"Never!"

Where did the Vietnamese army dare to stir up trouble?

So the Luyi guard hurriedly denied it.

"Hmph, it's not that a certain letter can't be stopped, but human life is a matter of heaven!"

Captain Wu held his head high and said, "If you want to win the trust of Yu XX, please open the city gate and let me wait in Luyi to search!" If you really don't have the people arrested by your army, you must apologize! ”

"Ridiculous!"

The general of Luyi had a gloomy look on his face and said: "Luyi, it is an important military town in my Yue country, how can you let you and others come and go?" Please also ask the general to retreat quickly, otherwise the battle will begin, and you and I will not be able to explain to our respective monarchs! ”

As soon as he heard this, Captain Wu suddenly said "annoyed and ashamed": "Since you don't dare to open the city gate and let me wait to enter Luyi to search, you must be empty-hearted!" ”

"So-and-so will give you half an hour, if you don't open the city gate, so-and-so will lead the army to break through the city!"

Hearing this, the Luyi guard was startled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He is not a fool, how could he not understand the intentions of the Wu army under the city?

Asking to enter the city to search for the lost soldiers is just an excuse, I'm afraid that the purpose of the Wu army is to go down and capture Luyi!

"Kill—"

Half an hour later, Captain Wu, who had been premeditated, waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to attack Luyi.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Attack!"

The soldiers of the border army of Wu State immediately roared loudly like hungry wolves, and climbed up to the head of Luyi with a ladder.

Before approaching the city wall and just entering the range of bows and arrows, the archers on the Wu side all opened their bows and arrows, and several rounds of arrows were thrown upwards to cover their own soldiers to climb up to the city.

"Poof!"

"Uhhh

The Vietnamese soldiers on Luyi's side obviously didn't expect the Wu army to launch a sudden attack, so they didn't have time to prepare too much for things with a lot of damage, such as arrow clusters, hot oil, stones, and rolling logs.

As more and more soldiers of the Wu army climbed to the top of the city, the Vietnamese army gradually fell into disadvantage.

However, the purpose of the Wu army was obviously not to capture a small Luyi, so after paying the price of dozens of soldiers killed, the Wu army immediately retreated, leaving only the corpses and messes in one place, as well as the remaining Vietnamese soldiers after the catastrophe.

……

When the news of the battle in Luyi was reported back to Wudu, Qingji was holding a grand court meeting.

With a "bang", Qingji on the platform rose up, holding the battle report of the front line in his hand, and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable!" How unreasonable! ”

"The Yue people detained my Wu soldiers for no reason, and they also raised a war to kill my soldiers! Such contempt for Da Wu will never be tolerated! ”

Qingji's attitude is very resolute.

In fact, Qingji, who has been in the top position for a long time, has always been moody and angry.

He can always stabilize his mind and control his words and deeds, especially in the management of facial expressions.

However, this time, the celebration is obviously a scene and a formality!

Just like the Wu Wanggong back then.

In 518 B.C., at that time, the girl of the Beiliang clan in the border of Chu and the woman of the border of Wu competed for mulberry leaves, and the families of the two women attacked and killed each other in a fit of anger.

The king of Wu was furious and sent Gongziguang to crusade against the Chu State, seizing the nest of the Chu State and the triumphant victory of Zhongli Ercheng.

Of course, Wu Wangyi was really angry at Chu Guo's approach, so he chose to retaliate back.

"The king, the Yue people are rude first, provoke first, and brazenly kill the soldiers of our Wu State, and ask the king to declare war on the Yue country, and choose a day to wave his army to attack Yue!"

The pawn was the first to stand up and speak loudly.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The more barbarian is so unsightly, and he is good at starting a war, if my Dawu doesn't ask for it, how can it be reasonable?"

"King, innocent soldiers died, and the country died! Please the king to comfort the innocent souls of the dead, wave his army and fight the Yue! ”

The ministers of Wu in the court basically all said a word, asking Qingji to send troops to attack the Yue country.

And this is exactly what Qingji wants to see, and it is exactly expected!

Naturally, the border army of Wu State did not lose a single soldier, but just to find an excuse to provoke a war.

The teacher is famous!

And the Luyi defenders of the Yue Kingdom, no matter what they do, whether they open the city gate or not, the final result will not change.

If you want to add sin, why should you do it?

Now, dozens of soldiers have died in the state of Wu, killed by the Vietnamese army, how can Qingji, as the king of Wu, give up?

"Edict!"

Qingji immediately said: "There are 30,000 land and water troops, and ten days later, send troops south to conquer the Yue country!" ”

"In this battle, the widow wants to drive the expedition in person, and personally seek justice for the innocent soldiers of my Wu country!"

"No!"

30,000 people, this is all the standing army strength of Wu State.

Fortunately, Wu's military strength does not stop there.

Thanks to the gradual improvement of the military service system, Wu adopted a compulsory military service system, in which young and middle-aged men of appropriate age were enlisted in the army in turn for militarized training.

With any training, you can become a combative soldier!

Therefore, in the case of Wu sending 30,000 troops, the soldiers who had been discharged from the army would be called back to serve as a standing army, ready for trouble.

At this time, as long as Qingji is willing, he can raise an army of more than 100,000 people at any time!

And now, Wu Guo actually has an army of 30,000 people in one go, and it is conceivable that Qingji is not as simple as teaching Yue Guo a lesson, or encroaching on some Yue land.

He wants to destroy the Yue Kingdom!
