Chapter 221: Paying Tribute

For this statement given by Qingji, Lu Ming was very angry in his heart.

Obviously, it was the Wu army that started the battle first, but Qingji actually splashed dirty water on the heads of their Vietnamese army?

But, he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak!

How can a man under the eaves not bow his head?

Although it stands to reason that the two armies are fighting, they will not be killed.

But if you are jealous of this person, you can't think of it as common sense!

In case Qingji was angry, let the left and right drag him out to cut off his head and sacrifice the flag, Lu Ming would really want to cry without tears.

"King Wu, the cause of the war is not yet understood!"

Lu Ming thought to himself for a while, and then said: "It's just that Wu and Yue are the two countries, as a country of marriage, they have always been friendly, and King Wu has violated my border for no reason, what is the reason?" ”

Hearing this, Qingji just glanced at Lu Ming and did not speak.

The pawn who was standing at the bottom immediately came out and said, "Luzi, I don't think you heard clearly!" Wu Yue is good, my king naturally remembers, but then the Ru Yue army innocently killed my Wu soldiers, how can this be reasonable? ”

"My king's personal expedition is to seek justice for the soldiers who died!"

What a high-sounding excuse!

Lu Ming's heart was very indignant, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "King Wu, I can't hide it, the foreign minister came here to negotiate with Wu and talk about Wu Yue's good." ”

"If the king of Wu can withdraw his troops and stop fighting, my king is willing to pay tribute to the state of Wu to show friendship!"

Just a tribute?

Send it to Hanako!

Qingji is naturally impossible to be satisfied with this.

Calling a minister is just a name, and Nagong is just handing over some rare treasures, and Qingji is not short of these things.

Immediately, Qingji stood up and said loudly: "Luzi, the widow will also tell you the truth!" ”

"War together, don't be good! If the king of Yue wants to make peace with the army, in addition to calling the ministers and paying tribute, he must cede half of the Yue land, including Huiji! ”

"Otherwise, nothing to talk about!"

Hearing this condition from Qingji, Lu Ming's face turned pale with fright.

It seems that Qingji is determined to destroy the Yue Kingdom!

Huiji is the capital of the Yue Kingdom, and the richest place in the Yue Country is the north, as for the south, there are still many barren lands, full of lofty mountains and mountains, miasma, and some Shanyue tribes who do not obey the king......

What is the difference between Qingji and destroying the Yue Kingdom?

In desperation, Lu Ming could only turn back to Huiji and return to Yue Wang Yunchang.

……

Yue Guo, outside the city.

At this time, Yue Wang Yunchang was reviewing the three armies, and he was strong!

There were tens of thousands of soldiers of the Vietnamese army, forming several phalanxes, and the first column of soldiers were all dressed in strong and stubborn clothes, wearing hat-style battle helmets on their heads, wearing navy blue robes, holding spears or bronze changge in their hands, and holding their heads high.

More Vietnamese soldiers wore simple battle robes, or leather armor, or cloth armor, and some did not even have a set of armor, only wore uniforms of the same color, and the weapons in their hands were varied.

In terms of wealth, the Yue State is far inferior to the Wu State, even though the Yue State attaches great importance to the military.

What's more, among the tens of thousands of soldiers, there are still many soldiers who have just been conscripted into the army?

"Thorn!"

"Kill!"

After a while, the drill officially began.

Looking at the appearance of the soldiers' drills, Yun Chang was very worried.

Wu and Vietnam have been at war for decades, and the Yue country has always been at a disadvantage, and even if the Wu army is outnumbered, the Vietnamese army cannot take much advantage.

And since Qingji ascended to the throne, Wu has changed the law, and the results have been remarkable, and the army has already become stronger, and the military strength is better than before!

Therefore, Yun Chang is really very worried, can Yue Guo resist this large-scale attack of Wu State?

"The king, the great priest asks to see you."

"Let's go."

Hearing that Lu Ming had returned to Huiji, Yun Chang did not dare to slack off, and immediately went to the camp gate to greet him.

"The Great Priest ......"

"The king, the minister has a heavy trust, and I ask the king to surrender!"

Looking at Yun Chang's expectant look, Lu Ming lowered his head in shame.

Such a result is actually not unexpected, but Yun Chang was still lucky before.

"What did Qingji say?"

"Qing jealousy is too deceitful. He said, unless I Yue Guo cedes half of the northern territory, including Huiji, and calls it a tribute, there is no need to talk about anything! ”

"This shaft!"

Yun Chang hated it so much that his teeth itched.

Subsequently, Yun Chang and Lu Ming entered the Chinese army's tent and retreated left and right, leaving only the two of them to sit opposite each other.

Yun Chang had a melancholy look on his face, and sighed: "Great Sikou, it seems that this battle is inevitable. The widow is afraid that Qingji will insist on destroying Yue, and my Yue country will not escape a catastrophe! ”

"King, for today's plan, we need to defeat Master Wu by fighting."

"How to defeat Wu?"

Yun Chang shook his head and said: "The widow has already sent an envoy to Yingdu, asking the State of Chu to send troops to help, or attack the land of Wu, so that the State of Wu will be in danger of fighting on two fronts." ”

"If my Yue Kingdom can hold on to the fortress and city, or guerrilla attack it, it may not be impossible to force Wu State to submit!"

"Oh no, my lord!"

Lu Ming said solemnly: "How can the national fortune of one country be pinned on other countries? Not to mention whether the State of Chu dares to backstab the State of Wu, if Qingji is desperate and has to destroy Yue, how will the king deal with himself? ”

Lu Ming's words made Yun Chang fall into deep thought.

Truly!

Yue Guo is not a vassal state of Chu, but there are allies in it, in short, Yue Guo is the younger brother of Chu State, and often attacks Wu State with Chu State.

Whenever the Chu army invaded Wu, the Yue State would always send troops to invade the southern part of the Wu State.

The state of Chu is also deliberately vigorously supporting the state of Yue, so that it has the strength to compete with the state of Wu.

And once the Yue State was destroyed by the Wu State, it is conceivable that the Wu State, which has no worries, will be able to use more troops to deal with the Chu State in the west.

At that time, the threat faced by the state of Chu will be even greater!

Reasonably, the Chu people could not sit idly by and watch the Yue State be destroyed by the Wu State.

Therefore, if the Wu army attacked Yuedi on a large scale, it would be impossible for the Chu State to ignore it.

However, the state of Chu will not devote its strength to attack Wu, and if the strength of this attack on Wu is too small, the state of Wu does not need to care too much.

Because the soldiers of Wu are strong and strong, the treasury is full, and there are more than 100,000 troops that can be dispatched, why are they afraid of the invasion of the Chu army?

"Grand Priest, do you have a good plan to break the enemy?"

"I don't dare to do it. However, for today's plan, I can only fight with Wu Shi! ”

Lu Ming said solemnly: "Fighters, there is only a frontal battle. If the sword goes sideways, it is not impossible for the weak to defeat the strong! ”

"I want to hear about it!"

Hearing that Lu Ming really had an idea, Yun Chang was very curious.

……

When Yun Chang and Lu Ming were discussing the strategy of breaking the enemy, Qingji had already led the land and water army of Wu with 30,000 people, drove all the way in, crossed the Yu'er River, and then conquered Luyi in one go.

Wu Jun was high-spirited, and went all the way south non-stop, heading straight to Huiji, the capital of Yue Kingdom.

If you can smash Huiji City in a battle, the Yue Kingdom will be almost like a dead country!
