"If the Qin army wants to save Chu, it will inevitably go south to Wuguan, and Shendi is the place where the Qin people must pass."

Qingji walked down the platform again, pointed to a place called "Shen" on the sheepskin map under his feet, looked around, looked at Sun Wu, Fan Li, Wu Zixu and Bo Yan present, and said slowly: "Shendi, that is, Wan County of Chu State, has a very important geographical location. ”

"Its land runs through the north and south, and it has always been the key point for the Chu State to go north."

"The intention of the widow is to send a good general to capture Wancheng with 10,000 foot soldiers to prevent the Qin army from entering the hinterland of Chu State!"

When Sun Wu and the others heard this, they couldn't help but bow slightly.

With their eyes, they also saw the danger of this place in Wancheng.

Wan County, which can be called a large county in the Chu State, is composed of two cities, Shen and Lu.

At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Chu in the south became stronger and stronger, and successively annexed the states of the Han River basin to the north, and the two countries of Lü and Shen were also destroyed by King Wen of Chu.

After the state of Chu occupied this land, which was both fertile and beautiful, and convenient for rivers, it built Wanyi here as a base for winning the Central Plains.

The name of Wan began from here.

It is worth mentioning that among the princes canonized by Zhou Tianzi, there were three Shen states.

One is the West Shen Kingdom, the other is the East Shen Kingdom, and the other is the South Shen Kingdom.

The Xishen Kingdom was a state founded by the descendants of Shu Qi.

Originally, the Shen people lived in the area of the Great River (Yellow River), but later moved to the west to live in the land of Tai and Fufeng.

When King Ji of Zhou Mu was full of Western Tour, the descendants of Shu Qi assisted in meritorious service, and was named Marquis by King Mu of Zhou, because he was called Shenhou, and history called him "Xishen Hou".

Later, it was also called "Shen Rong", also known as "Jiang's Rong", because the Shen people are a mixture of Chinese and ethnic minorities, and they are the first birthplace of the Shen State.

When the crown prince Ji Yijiu was deposed and fled to Xishen with his mother to ask for the help of his grandfather Shenhou, Shenhou united with Yan Guo and Dog Rong to attack the Western Zhou royal family and killed Ji Gongyan, the king of Zhouyou.

As early as two hundred years ago, the Xishen State was swallowed up by the Qin State.

Its citizens scattered and fled, and the descendants of the royal family and the people of the country also had the surname of the old country, called the Shen family.

The Nanshen Kingdom was a state established by the Zhou royal family in order to strengthen its control over the situation in the south during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou.

King Xuan's wife-in-law and uncle Shen Bo was in the upper reaches of the Huai River, and the fief of the Southern Shen Kingdom was the gateway town of the Zhou Dynasty to control the south.

After King Ping of Zhou moved eastward, Nanshen was the southern gate of the Eastern Zhou royal family.

In order to guard against the invasion of Jing Chu, Zhou stationed troops here.

Shen also strengthened ties with the mainland princes of the Central Plains, and once married Shen Nu to Zheng Wugong.

This Nanshen State was finally destroyed by the Chu State and officially became part of Wan County.

The Eastern Shen Kingdom is actually a continuation of the Southern Shen Kingdom.

After King Wen of Chu destroyed the Marquis of Nanshen, he forcibly moved some nobles and commoners of the Nanshen Kingdom to the land of Xinyang in the east.

The Shen people became vassals of Qiang Chu and became the forward defense line of Chu against Ba at that time......

The "Shen" in the Shen Zhi Shi refers to the Shen people.

"Great King, the minister is willing to lead the army to capture Wandi and block the Qin army going south!"

Sun Wu took the initiative to ask.

"My lord, let the ministers follow."

Fan Li waved towards Qingji and said: "The minister is from Wandi, there is the hometown of the minister, and the minister is familiar with every grass and tree there!" ”

Qingji bowed slightly, but did not agree immediately.

This place in Wanxian County is located in the northwest corner, too far away from the main force of the coalition army, and it is difficult to transport the grain and baggage.

And once it fell into the siege of the Qin army, the Wu army in Wancheng became a lone army and could only fight alone.

It is worth mentioning that the distance between Wandi and Suiguo is only more than 300 miles.

However, during this period, all the horses and rivers are in the wilderness, and there is no danger to defend.

This means that the chariots of the Qin army can give full play to their greatest advantages there.

Qingji also did not dare to send a grain transport team casually to deliver grain and straw to the defenders of Wanxian County.

Isn't that dangerous?

After a period of deliberation, Kyungji finally made a decision.

"The intention of the widow is to let Bai Gongsheng be the general, and the young uncle you will be the deputy general, lead 10,000 troops, capture Wanxian, and fight against the Qin army going south there."

"Ah, this ......"

As soon as these words came out, Sun Wu and the others were all dumbfounded.

Wu Zixu hurriedly said: "King, with all due respect, Bai Gongsheng has talents, but he is good at frontal battles, not defensive battles. ”

"And Bai Gong is better than others, he is stubborn and self-serving, and he may not be able to listen to Fan Neishi's scheme!"

Hearing this, Qingji just waved his hand and said, "The widow knows." However, this time Bai Gongsheng had to go. ”

"Wanxian can't hold it for long. Young uncle, if it is critical, the widow will allow you to abandon the city and flee, or surrender to the Qin people. ”

Qingji patted Fan Li's shoulder and said meaningfully: "Young uncle, Bai Gongsheng has an heir, do you know what to do?" ”

"No!"

Fan Li immediately came to his senses.

Sun Wu and others also woke up from a dream.

There is no need for Qingji to say too clearly, the few people present are all talented and witty, how can they not understand the meaning of Qingji's words?

Qingji, this is to let Bai Gongsheng go to death!

Bai Gongsheng is ambitious, stubborn and self-serving, and is unwilling to become a puppet of Wu State.

Moreover, Bai Gongsheng also has a lot of soldiers and horses, and he has a certain reputation in the Chu State, which is not easy to control for the Wu State!

Now, the coalition forces have captured a large area of the eastern Chu state, and the eastern Chu state is about to be formed, and Bai Gongsheng also calls himself the "King of Chu", laying the foundation for this fact.

What's the use of keeping it?

As for Bai Gongsheng's heir, it is actually the son born to Qingji and Mu Ji, and he is still a toddler, flowing with the blood of the Wu royal family......

At this time, it is most appropriate for Bai Gongsheng to lead his 10,000 soldiers and horses to capture Wanxian County and block the upcoming Qin army.

Anyway, Bai Gongsheng's subordinates are all Chu people, and there is no need to feel distressed about how many deaths and injuries there are.

If Bai Gongsheng knew that he was about to face the menacing Qin army, he would definitely not dare to accept Qingji's order.

However, how could Bai Gongsheng anticipate the enemy's opportunity?

Without knowing it, Qingji asked Bai Gongsheng to lead his troops to lay a broader territory for his Chu State, and I believe that Bai Gongsheng was very willing.

Qingji can play an information gap!

As for Fan Li, it was a time bomb planted by Qingji for Bai Gongsheng.

Even if Bai Gongsheng did not die in battle and did not die under the sword of the Qin people, Fan Li would try his best to let Bai Gongsheng die in the chaos.

Or even do it yourself!

Qingji is borrowing a knife to kill people!

Unload the mill and kill the donkey!

"King, do you want to transfer troops from China, or send soldiers and horses from Tang and Cai nearby?"

Sun Wu asked.

"No need."

Qingji secretly thought about it and said, "It's too late in time." Let Tang Jun's side pour out the country, immediately gather all the soldiers who can fight, and hunt with you! ”

"In this battle, we must crush the main force of the Chu army and capture the Chu king Xiong Zhen alive!"

"No!"
