Chapter 414: Breaking the Ambition of the Yingdu

"Two or three sons, let's see."

Qingji stood on the huge sheepskin map, picked up his Longyuan sword, and pointed to a place named "Xinzheng".

Xinzheng is the capital of Zheng State.

"In the spring of February, the state of Chu took Zuo Sima Shen Zhuliang as the general and Mi Sheng as the deputy general, and raised 70,000 troops to attack Zheng."

The Chu army was like a bamboo, and successively captured sixteen cities such as Zheng's Fox People, Yangling, Li, and Changge. Until the end of May, the Chu army had already approached the city of Xinzheng, and the capital of Zheng was in danger. ”

After a pause, Qingji said slowly: "According to the latest information obtained by the widow. The Jin army is ready to send troops to help the Zheng people relieve the siege of Xinzheng, which is why no one speculates. ”

"By August at the latest, the war between Chu and Zheng will end. At that time, it will be a good time for our Wu State to send troops to attack Chu. ”

"This ......"

Fan Li asked in surprise: "The king, it stands to reason that the Chu army should take advantage of the fact that the Chu army is attacking Zheng and there are not many soldiers to fight in the country, so why wait until the war between Chu and Zheng is over before the king sends troops?" ”

Hearing this, Qingji smiled incomprehensibly, and said slowly: "Young uncle, is it possible, have you forgotten Mi Shengye?" ”

"Mi Sheng?"

Fan Li, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu then remembered.

In order to deal with the state of Chu, Qingji can be described as painstaking.

Two years ago, that is, in the eighth year of King Qingji of Wu, Qingji deliberately created an opportunity for Bai Gongsheng to pretend to assassinate the king, and then fled to Chu to win the sympathy of the monarchs and ministers of Chu.

After that, Wu also repeatedly made concessions, so that Bai Gongsheng (Mi Sheng) attacked Wu, captured many cities of Wu, and further gained great popularity and credit.

At this time, Bai Gongsheng has been promoted to the right Sima of Chu and the doctor of Chaoyi, which can be described as a high authority.

Qing Ji thinks that the time is ripe for Hua Chu, and it's time to use Bai Gongsheng's secret chess move!

"King, is this person credible?"

Fan Li was still a little skeptical.

Qingji set his eyes on Wu Zixu's body and asked: "Zixu, you have known Gongzisheng for many years, and you should understand his temperament. In your opinion, does Mi Sheng have any objections to the Chu State? ”

"Back to the king, Mi Sheng grew up watching the minister since he was a child, and the minister thought that this person had hidden ambitions and wolf ambitions."

Wu Zixu frowned and said: "Now that Mi Sheng has gained power again, if the king is agitating behind his back and has the full support of Wu State, Mi Sheng may not dare to raise troops against Chu." ”

"However, now that the Chu army of Zheng is being defeated, the main will be Shen Zhuliang, not Mi Sheng. Even if Gongzi Sheng really has the heart to oppose Chu and establish himself as the king, I am afraid that Shen Zhuliang will not be able to agree! ”

Hearing this, Qingji smiled slightly and said, "It is not difficult to let Mi Sheng take the position and take charge of the military power of the front line. ”

"If the Chu army can't attack Xinzheng City for a long time and loses the battle, Shen Zhuliang, the main general, is duty-bound."

"At that time, the widow can order people to spread rumors in Yingdu, saying that Shen Zhuliang is incompetent, and Mi Sheng's talent is far above Shen Zhuliang, and with it, the Chu army should conquer Xinzheng and win a complete victory."

"Wouldn't it be feasible to buy the slanderous ministers of the Chu State such as Nangwa with a lot of money?"

Hearing this, Fan Li, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Qingji's trick is indeed enough.

However, it is not difficult to understand that Qingji is so unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal.

For one's own enemies, why should they be polite?

The discrete meter, no matter what era it is, is tried and tested.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the discord meter was basically just in its infancy.

This is still proposed by Sun Wu in "The Art of War"!

For example, Qin divided King Zhao and Lian Po in the Battle of Changping, Qin divided King Wei and Xinling Jun in the Battle of Qin in the Fourth Combined Attack on Qin, and Qin divided Zhao Wangqian and Li Mu in the Battle of Qin to destroy Zhao, etc.

These are all bloody examples.

The three divisions of the Qin State were not very clever, why did the kings of Zhao and Wei fall for the schemes one after another?

In fact, King Zhao Xiaocheng, King Wei Anjiao and Zhao Wangqian may not have seen through the Qin State's divisive plan, but they had to fall into the plan for various reasons.

Qin's genius lies not in the discord plan itself, but in judging the situation and grasping the key point!

As for whether he can really let the Chu people change generals on the spot, remove Shen Zhuliang, and replace Bai Gongsheng as the main general of the Chu army, in fact, Qingji doesn't care too much.

Because, even if civil strife did not break out in the state of Chu, the state of Wu would also send troops.

It's just that the results achieved may vary.

At this time, Wu Zixu had to stand up and remind: "King, the minister thinks that although Mi Sheng has the heart of anti-Chu self-reliance, he is the head of the human being and the two ends of the rat, and he is bold and reckless, and I am afraid that he cannot really be controlled by my Wu State." ”

Qingji waved his hand and said, "The widow never thought that he wanted to control Mi Sheng. The one who does what the widow wants is to let Chu be in turmoil, so that my Wu State can spend less effort to destroy Chu in one fell swoop and go straight to Yingdu! ”

"Let my Wu State truly dominate the south of the Yangtze River, and show a trend of confrontation between the north and the south with the Jin State!"

This is the goal of Qingji now!

"The king is wise!"

Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and Fan Li all said in unison.

"If you want to attack Chu, I, Wu Guo, must prepare early. Sun Wu! ”

"The minister is here!"

"You immediately organize and train a new army, 50,000 people, and you must be familiar with mountain warfare, and it is best to be able to adapt to a variety of complex terrains."

"No!"

"Soldier!"

"The minister is here!"

"You are responsible for selecting envoys to go to the eight countries of Cai, Xu, Zhongwu, Teng, Xue, Di, Ju, and Tan, and then send an envoy to the Tang Kingdom, telling them that each country must send at least 3,000 soldiers to cooperate with our Wu State and attack the Chu State together."

"Minister, obey the king's orders!"

"Fan Li!"

"The minister is here!"

"Your task is to immediately count all the existing grain and baggage in our Wu country, and secretly transport it to the east bank of the river as quickly as possible. If the war is together, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass need to go first! ”

"No!"

In order to win this battle, Qingji can be said to have made sufficient preparations.

He is scheduled to send troops to attack Chu in the spring of next year.

For half a year, the people of Chu couldn't prevent anything wrong, even if they were noticed by the Chu State!

……

Early June.

Zheng Guo, Xin Zheng Cheng.

"Kill!"

"Rush!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Block them!"

Above and below the city, it was an extremely tragic battle.

The soldiers of the Chu army, wearing yellow-colored battle clothes, rushed to the city wall without fear of death, braved the enemy's arrows, and climbed up the ladder.

However, there were very few soldiers who could rush up, and many of them were hit by foreign objects such as hot oil, rolling wood, and stones thrown by the Zheng soldiers defending the city, and then fell from the high city and fell into meatloaf.

However, this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the soldiers of the Chu army who were besieging the city.

Driven by the sound of war drums full of slaughter, hundreds of Chu soldiers rushed forward one after another as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Till death rest!

So far, this is the tenth day of the siege of Xinzheng City by the Chu army.

Whether it was the Zheng army defending the city or the Chu army besieging the city, they were all physically and mentally exhausted, and some were unable to continue.

On the side of the Chu army, it is good that there are many soldiers and generals, but the most difficult thing is the defenders in Xinzheng City.

Not to mention the fact that they were outnumbered, they did not have too many reserves of military baggage.

In order to inflict damage on the enemy troops besieging the city, the monarch of Zheng even ordered the bricks and trees in the city to be demolished and used as stones and rolling wood......
