Qingji turned his gaze to the imperial historian Sun Wu again, and asked, "Sun Qing, what do you think?" ”

"The king, the minister thinks, when the war!"

Sun Wu said: "As Tingwei said by Yu Shicai, I, Wu Guoshicai, abolished the Jingtian system, opened the territory of Qianmo, and allowed the free purchase and sale of land. ”

"How can the king's edict be changed overnight?"

Sun Wu had a serious look on his face and said, "This is about the prestige of the king, the prestige of Sheji, and the honor and disgrace of the Wu State!" ”

"Moreover, the minister thinks that if the alliance between Wu and the princes fights, Wu will have ten victories, and the princes will have ten defeats!"

"To be precise, the king has ten victories, and the Marquis of Qi has ten defeats!"

"Oh, how so?"

Qingji immediately became interested.

The ministers also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Sun Wu had to say.

I saw Sun Wulang say in a loud voice: "There are too many cumbersome etiquettes for the Marquis of Qi, and the king can go with the flow." One of them, Dao Sheng! ”

"The Marquis of Qi led the coalition army to openly crusade against the state of Wu, which was for aggression, and the king defended the country, and the top and bottom could work together. The second is also, righteous victory! ”

"The Marquis of Qi is too lenient in his administration, and his command is mixed, and he can't see everything, while the king is full of grace and power, like a sea of rivers, and the administration is orderly. The third is also a victory! ”

"The Marquis of Qi is lenient on the outside and jealous on the inside, and he is also suspicious of the people he uses, and only his relatives and children are responsible for the heavy responsibility."

And the king looks approachable on the surface, but he is clever in his heart, and he is not suspicious of employing people, as long as he is talented, he will use him boldly, regardless of relatives and distance. Fourth, win! ”

"The Marquis of Qi is scheming and decisive, often planning a lot and looking forward and backward, timid, while the king can make decisions on the spot, and the response is endless. This is also the fifth, seek victory! ”

"Because of the capital accumulated over generations, Qi Hou uses high-minded talk and superficial etiquette to collect fame, and people who like to talk empty and pretend to be themselves are more obedient to him."

"And the king treats people with all his heart, does things with sincerity, does not do vain things, leads his subordinates with frugality, and never stingy with those who have merit, so those who are loyal, far-sighted, and truly talented and practical are willing to defect to the king. This is also the sixth, Desheng! ”

"When Qi Hou saw the hungry and cold people, his compassion and concern were overflowing, but what he couldn't see, he didn't think about it anymore, this was just a woman's kindness!"

"Although the king sometimes ignores the small things in front of him, in the big things, he can help the whole world, and the blessings he gives exceed the expectations of the people, and he is thoughtful, and there is nothing that cannot be saved."

"This is also the seventh, Rensheng!"

"The ministers of the Marquis of Qi are vying for power, and slander is everywhere to confuse the public. And the king uses the avenue to dominate his subordinates, and even the silent slander like water can't work, this is the eighth also, Ming Sheng! ”

"The Marquis of Qi can't tell right from wrong, and the king will reward everything that is right, and punish everything that is wrong according to law.

"But Qi Hou likes to bluff and can't use the essentials. And the king can win more with less, and use his soldiers like a god, our army trusts the king, and the enemy is afraid of the king. This is also ten, martial arts! ”

"With this Qi Hou ten defeats, and the king ten victories, my Wu Guoyan has the gift of not fighting?"

"Color!"

Sun Wu's words immediately won the applause of many ministers in the court.

This undoubtedly greatly boosted their confidence in defeating the alliance of princes!

Qingji also knew that most of the Wu Kingdom could win this battle.

It's just that if it wins miserably, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future.

Wu Guo may not be able to afford it!

However, at this time, Qingji had already made up his mind.

He slowly stood up, looked around at the ministers and doctors under His Majesty's stage, clenched his fists, and said loudly: "Second and third sons, this battle is inevitable!" ”

"The widow thinks that if you fight with one punch, you won't have a hundred punches!"

"The alliance of princes is coming, let them come! The widow is not afraid, the Wu country is not afraid, the Wu people are not afraid! ”

"Fight!"

"The king is wise!"

Seeing that Qingji had already made such a decision, it was difficult for the ministers to refute it.

……

After the court meeting, Qingji summoned his confidants to the Zide Hall for deliberations.

Among them are Dazai Jiza, Zhisu Neishi Fan Li, Da Sima Sun Ping, Imperial Shi Dafu Sun Wu, Left Prime Minister Wen, Right Prime Minister Ji Ran, Tingwei Bo Yu, Pawn Kong Qiu, Shaofu was separated and the servant Shen Xi.

"Deceived Kangxi"

It's basically a sequence of three princes and nine kings.

"Second and third sons, if the war is against the alliance of the princes, it is necessary to formulate a thorough strategy to break the enemy, and if you are the enemy, you will win a miserable victory, which will be unfavorable to my Wu country."

Qingji said slowly.

Hearing this, Fan Li, who was sitting at the bottom of the house, got up first and said: "The king, the minister thinks that he can send an envoy to Xintian to persuade the Marquis of Jin and Liuqing to send troops to attack Qi, or coerce the Song, Lu, and Wei countries, so that they dare not act rashly and turn war into jade silk!" ”

"It's not easy to do that."

Qingji shook his head and said, "Jin people, don't be trusted." The last battle of the princes of the Eighteen Kingdoms against Chu has exposed the true face of the Jin people! ”

"The power of the Marquis of Jin is sidelined, and the real power is in the hands of Liuqing. However, the six Qings are fighting each other, bent on fighting for power and profit, and I am afraid that they will not have time to take care of the war on our side of Wu. ”

The Jin State and the Qi State can be said to be the two countries least affected by this incident.

Qingji abolished the well-field system, opened up the frontier, and allowed land to be bought and sold freely, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Central Plains countries.

In addition, Wu also encouraged the Li Shu of other countries to settle in Wu, giving them houses, fields, and farm tools, so that they could cultivate with peace of mind, and were exempt from taxes for five years.

Such a favorable treatment attracted many Li Shu from Chu, Song, Lu, Wei and other countries to enter Wu one after another.

The massive loss of population is obviously the real reason why the countries attacked Wu Guoqun.

However, the matter has come to this point, and Wu Guo is already difficult to ride a tiger.

If he was forced by the pressure of the princes' alliance and changed the order of the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that in his lifetime, it would be difficult for Wu to attract more Li Shu from other countries to Wu to make a living.

Dazai Jiza pondered for a moment and said, "Great King, this time the Fourteen-Nation Alliance led by the Qi State is huge, and the Wu State is afraid that it will be difficult to support it alone. Since the Jin people are unreliable, the king should also unite the Cai State, the Xu State and the Zhong Wu State to deal with the princes' coalition together. ”

"Good!"

Qingji still agrees with this very much.

The three countries of Cai, Xu, and Zhong Wu are relatively close to Wu and basically border, so if Wu is unwilling to let the war happen on its own territory and burn the war to the Jianghuai area, it is not impossible.

Moreover, Cai Guo, Xu Guo and Zhong Wu Guo were already vassal states of Wu State, with Qingji as their suzerain, so they did not follow Qi State to crusade against Wu State this time.

However, they must be very dissatisfied with Wu Guo's approach in their hearts.

"Kong Qing."

"The minister is here!"

Kong Qiu, whose name was read, immediately stood up.

"The widow immediately drafted three handwritten letters, and handed them to Cai Hou, Xu Jun and Zhong Wujun respectively for reading, and you should also send envoys to the Three Kingdoms to lobby the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms."

"No!"
