"Fan Li, what do you think?"

Qingji put his inquiring eyes on Shi Fan Li's body.

Fan Li kept looking down and thinking, but he didn't speak.

Seeing Qingji's question, Fan Li immediately bowed down and said: "The king, the minister thinks that the title of Tingwei is 'Jiangning', and the title of the right prime minister is 'Jianye', and it is all necessary to think that it is the name of the new capital. ”

"Do you have another name in your heart?"

"Yes."

Fan Li said bluntly: "King, dare to ask what is the name of the largest mountain here?" ”

"It's Jinling Mountain."

As far as Qingji knows, Jinling Mountain, including Stone Mountain, is the Purple Mountain of later generations, and many of its remaining mountains do not have their own names at this time.

"Yes!"

Fan Li said loudly: "King, the water of the great river, flowing from the west foot of Jinling Mountain, this mountain is near the river to control Huai, the situation is very dangerous, so the king built the capital here, is to use the Yangtze River moat as a barrier to plot the world!" ”

"In this case, why didn't the king name the new capital 'Jinling' to promote the king of Wu?"

Qingji bowed slightly, looked at Xiao Yiguang who was dozing in his arms, and said with a smile: "Yiguang, which name do you think is better for Jiangning, Jianye or Jinling?" ”

Sweat!

Everyone present was embarrassed.

Qingji actually handed over the naming rights of the new capital to Yiguang, a milky little girl who had not dried up.

That's really ...... Ridiculous!

However, it also shows that Qingji thinks that Jiangning, Jianye and Jinling are all excellent names, and it is difficult to decide for a while.

"Hmm......"

Yiguang tilted his little head, thought about it seriously, and said, "Uncle, Yiguang thinks that Jinling is better." ”

"Good!"

Qingji immediately clapped his hand and said: "In the future, the capital of my Great Wu will be named 'Jinling'!" ”

……

After the meeting of Wu, Xu, and Zhongwu in Jinling, they began to dispatch troops.

In 509 B.C., that is, in the winter of the fifth year of King Qingji of Wu, in November, Wu declared war on Chu and issued the "Essay on Seeking Chu", denouncing all kinds of crimes of Chu, and sending troops to attack Chu under the banner of justice for Cai Hou.

Qingji drove the expedition in person, and raised an army of 50,000 on land and water, including 10,000 soldiers of Zhong Wuguo and Xu State, as well as more than 6,000 thieves under the command of the thief, and gathered in Luzi.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Qingji convened the generals to discuss the matter.

Zhisu Neishi Fan Li, Tingwei Wu Zixu, Right Prime Minister Ji Ran, generals Heifu, Meng Ben, Xiong Zidan, Gongsun Xiong, Xu Menchao and others all stood on the left and right, waiting for Qingji to give orders.

A clearly marked map, placed on the floor.

Wu Zixu said: "Great King, the Chu army is on Chang'an, there are more than 30,000 troops stationed, the general is Shen Zhuliang, the doctor of Yeyi, and the deputy general Shen Baoxu, which should not be underestimated. ”

"If you want to take the land of Jiangxi, the minister thinks that our army should first break through the long bank and defeat the main force of the Chu army, and then we can take Chao, Zhongli, Zhaoguan and Shudi one by one!"

Wu Zixu's strategy seems to be fine, decent, and steady.

However, Qingji always felt that it was not feasible.

After pondering for a while, Qing Ji said slowly: "Chang'an, which has always been a battleground for the soldiers of Wu and Chu, is a strong military town. ”

"There are more than 30,000 defenders in the Chu State, even if my Wu division has the sharpness of a trebuchet, it can break through the long shore in a short time, I'm afraid it is not appropriate. Once the war reaches a stalemate, it will be very unfavorable to our Wu army. ”

Qingji pointed the whip at Shudi on the map, as well as the Queyi on the edge of the river, and said: "The intention of the widow, first easy and then difficult, the main force of our Wu army landed from Queyi, seized Shudi, and then went all the way north, took Juchao and Zhaoguan, and surrounded the Chu army on the long bank, cut off its grain route and retreat, which can get twice the result with half the effort, or force the Chu people to surrender." ”

Qingji's consistent style is not to fight unprepared battles.

The Wu army fought to the end with the main force of the Chu army that held the long bank, which would undoubtedly greatly increase the casualties of the Wu army, which was a war of annihilation.

This is not what Qingji wants to see.

If he had a choice, Qing Ji would never do such a stupid thing of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.

Chang'an, Que, Yongpu, and Shore, these four cities along the river, in the last Wu Chu War, belonged to Wu State.

Although Chang'an has been occupied by the Chu army, the three cities of Que, Yongpu and Shore are still in the hands of the Wu army, so the Wu army of Chu can cross the river and land smoothly in Queyi.

"If the king wants to cut off the grain of the Chu army, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Wu Zixu shook his head and said: "Shen Zhuliang, the general of the Chu army, has the style of his father Shen Yinshu, and he is a generation of famous generals!" He will surely be able to learn of our army's intentions, and then send troops to rescue him. ”

"That's great."

Qingji smiled slightly, and the straight whip in his hand pointed at Diji Mountain again, and said: "If Shen Zhuliang sends troops to save Shudi, Diji Mountain is the way he must go." Why didn't the widow send troops to station here and ambush the Chu army that rushed to help? ”

"The king is wise!"

Wu Zixu agreed.

Deciding on the preliminary strategy of attacking Chu, Qingji immediately looked around again, looked at the generals of Wu State present, and said: "Second and third sons, this battle is the battle of my Wu State's weak Chu, and it will determine the pattern of the south for many years to come!" ”

"No defeat is allowed to win!"

"Ji Ran!"

"The minister is here!"

The right prime minister, who was read his name, immediately stood up.

"You are responsible for sitting in the town, dispatching the grain and straw, and you need to ensure that the supply of food and straw for our Wu army is unimpeded, and there is no logistics to worry about!"

"Yui!"

Ji Ran immediately agreed.

As the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first.

In a war, the weight of grain and straw is a key factor.

If the logistics work cannot be guaranteed, no matter how brave and strong the Wu army is, I am afraid that in the end it will have to retreat to the Wu State, or there is a danger of self-collapse without a fight.

"Soldier, Hefu!"

"The minister is here!"

"After the two of you cross the river, immediately lead 10,000 elite soldiers and secretly camp in Diji Mountain to prevent the Chu army from rushing to the aid of Shudi."

"Yui!"

After making arrangements before the war, with Qingji's order, the generals sang loudly, and the entire 50,000 princes allied army were all majestic and high-spirited, and they traveled south to the south in a big boat and landed in Queyi.

Wu Zixu and Heifu led 10,000 elite soldiers of Wu State, quickly rushed to Diji Mountain, occupied favorable terrain, and set up camp.

Qingji himself is the main force leading the coalition army, and he attacks Qunshu with lightning speed.

Qunshu is for the surname of the country, there are Shu, Shu Li, Shu Yong, Shu Dove, Shu Long, Shu Gong, Shu Bao, Zong, Chao nine countries.

There is also a Tong country, which is adjacent to Qunshu, and is also suspected to be a Qunshu country, and they are also all after the surname Gaotao, or a branch of the Xu people.

The country of Qunshu was sandwiched between the big countries, and it was trying to survive in the twilight of Wu.

The Wu army rose, and when it came, they turned against the state of Wu; The Chu army was strong, and when they came over, they switched to the arms of the Chu state.

This has been the case for decades.

In the second year of King Qingji of Wu, the Wu army also occupied Qunshu for a time, but was soon forced to withdraw to Wu, and Qunshu also returned to Chu.
