Chapter 474: Not a Woman's Kindness

The second and third sons, and now that the Qin army has captured Wanxian, it will definitely go south and attack Suicheng."

Qingji looked around, looked at the generals and monarchs present, and asked slowly, "According to your opinion, should my coalition army be war or peace?"

"This ......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at each other and lowered their heads in contemplation.

Tang Jun Ji Cheng got up first and said, "Great King, the Qin people are menacing, and our coalition army still has the strength to fight, although I am not afraid of the Qin division."

"However, the coalition army has been fighting in Chu for more than half a year, and they are already sleepy and tired, and the soldiers feel homesick, and it is inevitable that they will feel tired. If you fight, you will not be victorious."

"That's right, widow monarch and!"

Xue Hou echoed and said, "King, what Tang Jun said is extremely true!"

"Right now, the main force of the Chu army has been wiped out by our coalition army, and the king of Chu, Xiong Zhen, and his ministers and doctors of the Chu State have also been captured, which is equivalent to the death of the country."

"If the king proposes peace talks with Qin and Chu, presumably the Qin people will not refuse."

"Please think twice, the King!"

The nine monarchs present, except for Cai Houshen, Xu Jun, Yingzhangyu, and Zhong Wujun, who belonged to the hardcore younger brother of Wu State, all agreed with each other.

They belong to the Lord and the Sect!

Cai Hou Shen immediately pondered for a moment and said, "Great King, whether it is war or peace, the widow will obey the king's dispatch!"

"Exactly!"

Ying Zhangyu and Zhong Wujun also said in unison: "I want to listen to the king's sending!"

Not to mention that the three kingdoms of Cai, Xu, and Zhongwu bordered the state of Wu, since Qingji succeeded to the throne, while becoming a vassal state, the state of Wu also brought many benefits to the three kingdoms.

Therefore, how can the three kingdoms not obey Qingji?

It's all about interests!

Of course, it is undeniable that compared with the other six countries, Cai, Xu, and Zhongwu are closer to Wu.

Wu generals such as Wu Zixu, Bo Tuo, Meng Ben, Xu Menchao, Gongsun Xiong, etc., were all silent and silent.

For their thoughts, Qingji can be said to know it well.

The war has reached such a point that there is no need to continue.

The 100,000 allied troops of Chu, plus Bai Gongsheng's Chu army, had a casualty rate of more than one-third.

In terms of troops, the coalition army is slightly more than the Qin army, but it is no problem to fight a defensive battle, and if it is a frontal battle, the coalition army is by no means an opponent.

This time, the coalition army not only eliminated the main force of the Chu army, but also captured the king of Chu, Xiong Zhen, and the state of Chu was already equivalent to annihilation.

On the issue of war and peace, Qingji is also biased towards peace talks.

After all, the initiative is already in his hands.

At present, although the Qin army is menacing, its labor expedition cannot keep up with the logistics and supplies, and the local Chu people have no extra food to help the Qin people.

If the war continues, it will be quite unfavorable for the Qin State.

After all, the Qin army only sent troops to save Chu, not the Great Patriotic War, so there was no need to fight to the end with the coalition army.

Qingji didn't want to grudge with Qin Guo either.

"The widow is determined to talk to Chu people. If the king of Chu understands the current affairs and agrees to make a national document for ceding land and claiming to be a vassal, the widow should also stop fighting and stop fighting!"

"The king is wise!"

Qingji was so decisive, which obviously surprised everyone.

However, accepting it when it is good is a good thing for Wu Guo is beneficial and harmless.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"

At this moment, Wu Zixu stood up and said to Qingji.

"What?"

"The Chu army has 20,000 soldiers, a very large number. At present, there is not much grain in the place and its nearby cities, and if we want to feed the soldiers, I am afraid that the grain and grass in the army will not be able to support the grain and straw in the rear, and it will be consumed!"

As soon as they heard this, everyone present couldn't help but whisper to each other.

When the two armies were holding each other in Suicheng, the allied army ran out of grain and grass, and in fact, the Chu army in the city did not have much grain and grass.

Now there are 20,000 Chu troops surrendered, and how to settle them is a difficult problem for Qingji.

It is impossible to kill.

Although the Spring and Autumn Period was a world of great contention, it was a world of great controversy, but for the vassal states canonized by Zhou Tianzi.

Even when destroying his kingdom, there is no precedent for slaughtering cities or killing pawns.

Because benevolence, righteousness and morality still bind the world, and wars can be fought by unscrupulous means, but those who have laid down their arms and surrendered must not be killed.

As soon as this opening was opened, Qingji and Wu Guoguo became infamous because of this, and they were criticized by the people of the world and did not say anything.

The point is that the other vassal states will follow suit, and then the war will be further intensified, which is not conducive to the next struggle between Wu and Jin for supremacy.

Besides, Qingji's battle against Chu this time was not a war of annihilation, but a war of attrition.

Qingji's strategic purpose has been achieved, and the national strength of Chu has declined greatly, and it is no longer able to compete with Wu, and it will not become a problem in his heart.

That being the case, why should Qingji be killed?

The people of Chu may not be able to become the Li Shu of Wu and the people of Qingji!

At this moment, Qingji's mind is very clear.

"Let them go, let them go home."

"The King's ......"

Wu Zixu wanted to give advice, but was stopped by Qingji waving his hand.

"The will of the widow has been decided, and there is no need to say more."

Qingji said slowly: "Heaven has the virtue of good life. Those Chu troops fought to the death with our allied forces before they surrendered, but since they have surrendered, they should not be blamed for the past!"

"The Great King is benevolent!"

Including Wu Zixu, the monarchs and generals present all praised each other.

With the current grain and straw of the coalition army, it can no longer support so many soldiers to support the arrival of the grain transport team.

Even if the coalition army did not kill much, and the Chu army with the 20,000 soldiers remained, it would only starve to death many people.

This is not to say that Qingji is jealous of the benevolence of women and does not dare to annihilate the living force of the Chu people.

Rather, he couldn't let himself and Wu bear the infamy of abusing or slaughtering pawns.

In this way, it will undoubtedly be more tragic for the next expansion war of Wu.

Since surrender will also die, where will the soldiers of other vassal states dare to surrender to Wu in the future?

Let these soldiers go back, and they can also promote the reputation of Qingji's benevolence and love for the people.

The most important thing is not to starve them.

When each went back to his own house and looked for his own mother, they tightened their belts and still survived.

As for whether these soldiers will continue to join the Chu army in the future and oppose the Wu State, this is not something that Qingji has to consider for the time being.

……

After leaving the main hall of Suiguo, Qingji went to the side hall where Xiong Zhen, the king of Chu, was under the opening of a group of guards.

Now, although Xiong Zhen has become a prisoner, Qingji has not treated him badly.

After capturing Xiong Zhen, Qingji deliberately set aside a palace to let Xiong Zhen temporarily use it as a habitat.

Xiong Zhen was placed under house arrest here, without worrying about food and clothing, but the palace was surrounded by stubborn Wu Jun sharp soldiers, and he couldn't leave this palace for half a step.

When Qingji saw Xiong Zhen again, he saw the latter sitting on the edge of the table, closing his eyes and thinking deeply, as if an old monk was sitting still.

Regarding the arrival of Qingji, Xiong Zhen seemed to be unaware and did not react.
