Qingji was a little difficult to accept for a while.

Heart congestion!

Right now, even Sun Wu and Wu Zixu have nothing to do, what can they do?

Qingji knew that the coalition forces had reached the end of the mountain at this time, and only retreat was the most rational choice.

In the absence of food, the coalition forces can only sit and wait for death if they stay in Suicheng.

Retreating at this time, it is conceivable that many coalition soldiers will flee and surrender to the Chu army.

However, Qingji was able to preserve part of the strength of the Wu army to some extent, and fled all the way east, returning to the Wu mainland.

If Qing Ji stayed here and waited for the grain and grass to be completely exhausted, he would be lucky to be able to escape all the way back to Wu State!

Do you want to take another adventure?

"If you fight to the death, what will it be?"

"This ......"

As soon as Qingji's words came out, everyone was shocked.

Is Qingji going to risk the idea of dying in battle, or being captured, to fight to the death with the Chu people?

"Never, my lord!"

Bo Yan first came out to dissuade him: "The king is the body of ten thousand gold, and he is the rise and fall of the Wu Kingdom, how can he be in danger?" ”

"If the king wants to fight to the death, please hand over the power of commanding the army to others, and then return to Jinling......"

Hearing this, Qingji shook his head and said: "If the widow leaves, the coalition army will immediately collapse and break up." ”

“……”

Bo fell silent.

Because that's exactly what happened.

As the so-called soldier bears a bear, there will be a nest of bears!

If Qingji, as the commander, gave up the soldiers of the coalition army, the soldiers of Wu State, how could they work for Qingji?

However, the generals of Wu who were present did not support Qingji in risking his life like this.

Since the last battle to destroy Vietnam, Qingji almost died on the battlefield, Qingji rarely goes into battle in person.

However, as the king of a country, as long as Qingji appears on the battlefield, so that the soldiers can see his figure and his Daxu, this can boost morale to the greatest extent.

Qingji himself is also very sorry for his life.

Because he is not only responsible for himself, but also for the soldiers of the Wu State, and for the millions of subjects of the Wu State!

"Da Sima, if the widow chooses to fight to the death, what are the odds of victory?"

Qingji set his eyes on Sun Wu's body again.

"Fifty percent!"

Sun Wu had a calm look on his face and replied, "If we fight to the death, our Wu army has at least a fifty percent chance of winning!" ”

"That's enough!"

Qingji squinted his eyes and said, "The widow is determined to fight to the death with the Chu people!" ”

"Order the soldiers of all departments to bury pots and cook at dawn tomorrow, burn the camp tents, pots and other items, including the camp, and prepare enough rations for the day!"

"Within a day, if you still can't capture Suicheng, you can't defeat the Chu army......"

"All killed!"

"No!"

If this could not defeat Suicheng, there was no need for Qingji to issue an order to behead him, and the soldiers of the coalition army themselves might starve to death, die in battle, or flee and surrender to the Chu army.

After the generals left, Qingji left his three henchmen alone, the great Sima Sun Wu, the imperial historian Wu Zixu and the court Wei Bo Tuo.

Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, there are already guards all over the place, and no idle people are allowed to wait for half a step.

Qingji, this is a big matter to discuss with Sun Wu and the others!

After being silent for a long time, Qingji finally glanced at Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, and Bo Yu, and said: "In tomorrow's battle, many people will die, it may be a widow, it may be Er, etc. ”

"The widow has to think about what is behind him."

"In the past, the Taishi (Ji Zha) once mentioned to the widow about the establishment of the prince, and wanted the widow to choose the prince, to be the foundation of the country, and the widow shirked it on the grounds that he was in the spring and autumn period."

"Now that I think about it, I have to think about it carefully."

After a pause, Qingji said slowly: "The second and third sons think that among the sons of the widows, who is worthy of the great responsibility?" ”

Qingji, this is to support the orphan?

Not bad!

Actually, it's out of the safe side.

After all, he knew how much impact he would have on the State of Wu if he died in the State of Chu!

After the widow dies, who cares about the flood?

Qingji is not this kind of person.

The state of Wu reached its peak in the hands of Qingji, and Qingji did not want to work hard and alone, and it took eleven years to build the state of Wu, which turned from prosperity to decline in his own hands.

If he did not choose a prince when he was alive, it would definitely cause civil strife in Wu and the princes competing for the prince.

It's like the "Five Princes' Rebellion" in Qi after the death of Duke Qi Huan, which is something Qingji never wants to see.

The relatives are painful, the enemies are fast, not to mention, the key is that it will make Wu's national strength plummet, and it may return to the original point.

So, no matter what, this time it is life or death, Qingji has already had the idea of establishing a reserve.

"Don't have pity on yourself, my lord."

Bo Yi immediately said: "The king once said that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. ”

"Moreover, the king is blessed with Qitian, and the minister believes that even if the coalition army is defeated, the king can return to Wu unharmed!"

Hearing this, Qingji just chuckled, waved his hand and said, "Bo Yu, you don't have to comfort the widow. ”

"The widow is in charge of the country's social affairs, and when the country is consolidated, let's talk about your views."

Bo was right.

In fact, even if this battle is a battle, the coalition army will really be defeated, and once defeated, Qingji will not necessarily die or be captured by the Chu people.

Because there are still many elite divisions of the Wu army, if you are jealous, you may not be able to break out of the encirclement and flee back to Wu.

It's just that on the battlefield, it's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows.

No one dares to guarantee that Qingji will really be safe and sound.

As strong as Qingji, known as "the first warrior of Wu State", the brave and martial arts crown the world.

However, in the melee of tens of thousands of people, individual courage is limited after all.

It's like Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu in history, "the god of feathers is brave, unique through the ages", didn't he also kill himself in Wujiang?

Luck is such a thing, mysterious and mysterious.

If Qingji is unlucky, he may die unexpectedly.

"The king, if I establish a prince in the country of Wu, I think that I should be the eldest son (Wu Hong)!"

Sun Wu first said: "Although the eldest son is a concubine, he is kind-hearted, can be good as a stream, and has the style of a virtuous king. ”

"If the eldest son is the prince, he will be able to keep the foundation of my Wu Kingdom and carry it forward!"

As soon as he heard this, Qingji just bowed his head slightly and did not speak.

Wu Zixu, who was standing beside Sun Wu, pondered for a moment and then said loudly: "Great King, the minister thinks that what Da Sima said is not true. ”

"Although the eldest son is benevolent, he is still cowardly, and he is a concubine, and his mother, Mrs. Rumeng, is strong and strong, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the queen and the rest of the sons......"

"Please think twice!"

Sun Wu glanced at Wu Zixu, shook his head and said, "Zixu, I don't dare agree with what you said. ”

"The eldest son is only eleven years old, he is still at the age of chong, and national affairs can be assisted by Ji Zi, Confucius, Wen Chong, Ji Ran and others, which is promising."

"Invincible Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestors"

"As for Madame Rumeng's strong statement, the king may be able to make the queen listen to the government, without Madame Rumeng interfering in national affairs!"
