"Minister, Sun Wu, see the king! Long live the king! ”

In the Zide Palace, Sun Wu, who had rushed back from Wancheng thousands of miles away, was bowing to Qingji on the throne.

"Changqing, sit."

"King Xie!"

After Sun Wu sat down, he looked at Wu Zixu who was sitting on the side, and knew that Qingji must have a big battle this time, waiting for them to show their strengths.

Sun Wu and Wu Zixu are collectively known as "Great Wu Shuangbi" by the world.

Over the years, the two have made countless contributions to the territory of Wu, and they have fought dozens of battles without defeat.

In terms of military exploits, Sun Wu and Wu Zixu are on par.

In terms of fame, in terms of soldiers, no one in the world can compare with them.

The two can be described as peerless and arrogant, and they are rare celebrities in a century.

Now that Qingji is looking for Sun Wu and Wu Zixu alone, how can there be no major matters to discuss?

Sun Wu guessed correctly, Qingji this time, there is indeed a very important matter, I want to discuss it with them, and make arrangements by the way.

"Bang Bang!"

Qingji applauded, and the two temple people held a roll of parchment maps, placed them on the floor of the Zide Temple, and spread them out one by one.

After spreading it out, the temple people bowed to Qingji with low eyebrows, and then left the Zide Temple.

In the huge palace, only Qingji, Wu Zixu, and Sun Wujunchen remained.

Qing Ji pressed the hilt of the Long Yuan Sword at his waist, walked off the platform, and came to stand on the huge map.

Draw a rather detailed sheepskin map, on which the large and small territories of the Chinese countries are marked, mountains, rivers and rivers, one by one marked in the middle.

Even some nearby maps of rivers and seas, barbarians, and Rongdi have been pieced together.

Just not too exhaustive.

"Changqing, do you know why the widow recalled you from Wancheng to Jinling this time?"

Qingji asked meaningfully.

"The minister doesn't know, please make it clear to the king."

"You're still too cautious."

Looking at Sun Wu's low eyebrows, Qingji just chuckled and made a joke.

Sun Wu just smiled and didn't say anything.

The monarchs and ministers knew each other, and Sun Wu could more or less guess some of Qingji's thoughts.

However, what kind of king Qingji is, Sun Wu knows it even more.

No king of great talent likes his thoughts to be speculated by his subordinates, and the same is true of Qingji.

Therefore, there are some things, Sun Wu knows it himself, there is no need to expose it, tell Qingji in a grand manner, and show off his "ability".

At this point, Sun Wu, Fan Li and Bo Yi have all done an excellent job.

Getting along with really smart people, Qingji will feel very happy, and that's it.

A truly smart person is not a clever person.

If wisdom is foolish, sometimes it is not the best way to behave in the world?

"It's been four or five years, and my Wu country has set up counties in the land of Lingnan for four or five years, but the rebellion of the Yue people has been repeatedly prohibited......

Qing Ji squinted his eyes and said, "There is a limit to the patience of widows. ”

"The king plans to send troops to the six counties of Lingnan to completely quell the rebellion in the south?"

"Not bad."

Thanks to the opening up of Fucha, Wu was able to successfully enter the land of Lingnan, almost picking up a ready-made.

However, it's too easy.

At that time, the state of Wu was not strong enough to reach the point where it is today, so it did not dare to fight at every turn and wipe out the small countries and tribes in Lingnan one by one, but now it is different.

The state of Wu, which completely crippled the state of Chu, subdued the state of Chu, and also curbed the southward trend of the Jin people, has been able to free up his hands to solve the rebellion of the Yue people in Lingnan once and for all.

This time, Qingji will not recruit rebels again, and he will no longer show mercy to his subordinates.

Those who follow me live, and those who oppose me die!

What feudal monarchs, what chiefs, and Qingji must be banned one by one, so that the six counties of Lingnan will become part of the Wu State in a real sense.

It's just that this transition period is a bit long.

Four or five years!

It's really hard for Sun Li.

As the general of Zhennan, Sun Li, who increased the rank of governor and was responsible for controlling the military of the six counties of Lingnan, has been very busy for so many years.

Whether it is the feudal monarch or the chief of the six counties of Lingnan, they are all a group of thorns.

Sun Li is a woman's family, and it is conceivable how difficult it is to deal with these thorns.

The key is that Sun Li must pursue the Huairou policy set by Qingji!

No unauthorized use of troops.

The six counties of Lingnan were defeated by Sun Wu and his troops.

Sun Wu is also more familiar with it.

Qingji never fights unprepared battles.

Therefore, to conquer the south, Qingji first thought of Sun Wu.

"And Baipu."

Qingji held the Longyuan Sword in his hand, pointed to a blank space on the edge of the six counties of Lingnan, and said slowly: "The Pu people and the Dian people often collude with the Yue people in the land of Lingnan to try to subvert the rule of my Wu State in the six counties of Lingnan. ”

"This time, if possible, the widow will take this place together."

If the land of Baipu is taken, the state of Wu will be able to unstoppably sweep away the state of Chu from the east and south, with a semi-outflanking momentum.

Qingji didn't tell Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, or even anyone about this idea.

At this point, Qingji no longer thinks about boiling frogs in warm water.

"Changqing, Zixu, if the widow wants to completely quell the rebellion of the Yue people and seize the land of Baipu, in your opinion, how many men and horses are needed?"

Qingji's determination to completely quell the rebellion in the six counties of Lingnan is not untargeted.

The construction of the Ling Canal communicated the Pearl River and the Li River, allowing Wu to quickly send troops from Huiji County to the six counties of Lingnan.

There are also many official roads and bridges, which can already lead from the mainland of Wu to the six counties of Lingnan.

There is a basis for this.

Thanks to the fact that in recent years, Wu has built a lot of construction and built bridges and paved roads in that area.

Could it be that Qingji was really just to strengthen his rule over the South?

No, no, no.

There is a deeper purpose, which is to prepare for the southern expedition.

The Yue people are unruly and unruly, and they don't obey the king, and Qingji will no longer get used to them.

He dared to start a war with the barbarians in the south, because he was already fully prepared.

"This ......"

When Sun Wu and Wu Zixu heard this, they glanced at each other, and then fell into deep thought.

After a while, Sun Wu replied with a frown: "If the king wants to completely quell the rebellion in Lingnan and annex the land of Baipu, he must not do it without 100,000 elite soldiers. ”

"100,000?"

Qingji was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Sun Wu to ask for so many soldiers and horses.

Was it Qingji who underestimated the strength of the Yue and Pu people, or was Sun Wu too cautious and overestimated the strength of the southern barbarians?

100,000 elite soldiers, this is not a small number.

You must know that in the past, Qingji launched a mighty coalition army to attack Chu, and there were only 80,000 horses.

Of course, plus Bai Gongsheng's troops, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

However, in just a hundred places, and the rebels in the six counties of Lingnan, Sun Wu asked for 100,000 elite soldiers to deal with it?

Isn't Sun Wu joking?

Maybe the population of Baipu Land does not add up to 100,000.

As for the rebels in the six counties of Lingnan, they may only be tens of thousands of people, and they are the kind that fight for each other......
