The next day, the soldiers of the Wu army pulled the lion model that was made overnight and placed it at the front of their phalanx.

"Moo-"

The more than 50 war elephants that rushed over, Meng saw that only a male lion was waiting for him, as if he was facing a natural enemy, he turned around and ran, no matter how the driver whipped him, he did not turn back to meet the battle.

"Kill!"

Qingji then pulled out the Long Yuan sword and pointed at the Wailao military array opposite.

The soldiers of the Wu Army, who had been holding back their breath in their hearts for a long time, suddenly rushed over as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Huh!"

"Poof!"

"Ahh

Without the help of war elephants, the mourners are like toothless tigers, lambs to be slaughtered, and can only be slaughtered.

The soldiers of the Wu army rose more and more, drove all the way in, and killed thousands of Ailao and Dian people.

In desperation, these mourners and Dian people could only flee back to the city in embarrassment and closed their doors.

In the case that the siege equipment in the rear has not yet arrived at the front line, Qingji is not in a hurry to capture Ailao City.

In fact, the war had reached such a point that Keitsu thought it could be over.

The army has been marching south for a year, and including Qingji, they are already exhausted.

The Wu army, which was originally full of morale, is now only fighting and cannot exert 100% combat effectiveness.

Therefore, after the Wu army won a great victory, Qingji asked Bo Ji as an envoy to enter the city of Ailao to negotiate with the Ailao people.

As long as the mourning people are willing to surrender to the state of Wu, Qingji is willing to canonize the king of mourning as the "monarch" and the "mourning king", and the hereditary replacement.

This is the choice that Qing Ji has to make when Wu Jun is already at the end of his crossbow.

He has already accomplished a great cause that he has not been able to accomplish for several generations, and there is no need to exhaust Wu Guo's mental strength......

Just as Qingji expected, the mourning people did not dare to compete with the Wu army anymore, and announced their submission to the state of Wu, paying tribute every year, and entering the court every year.

So far, Qingji has completed the battle of the Southern Expedition this time, which lasted for a year.

But, in reality, the finishing touches are not over yet.

……

The time entered the fourteenth year of King Qingji of Wu, that is, in 500 BC, the first month.

Qingji issued an edict, including the six counties of Lingnan, as well as the newly incorporated Hanoi, Baipu Land, Dian Land, and Ailao Country, to search the mountains and seas and eliminate all the rebels.

Anyone who took advantage of the previous war, or who had already moved into the deep mountains and old forests, must be chased and suppressed one by one, and recruited them to come out and make a register.

This move can allow Wu to get a large number of people.

Although Wu Guo has to pay a lot of price for this, it is worth it, but in Qingji's view, it is all worth it.

After conquering the Ailao Kingdom, Qingji embarked on the journey back to Jinling City.

It's just that, a little unfortunate, Qingji contracted the wind cold.

Although it is a common cold and fever, in this Spring and Autumn Period, when the medical level is relatively backward, a minor illness can become a major illness.

Therefore, Qingji had to temporarily shrink in the spacious royal car, cover it with a silk quilt, and let Sha Li and A Qing follow him day and night.

"Ahem, ahem."

On the Lingnan New Road, a team of five or six thousand people is mighty, and there is no end in sight.

A piece of crimson, the flag covers the sun, and the spear is like a forest.

Among them is a richly decorated and majestic black king car.

This is Qingji's king car, a special car.

At this time, Qingji was lying in the car, covered with a quilt, and asked A-Qing to feed the decoction to recuperate himself.

There are also white-skinned, beautiful and long-legged sand pears to Qingji's knee pillows, don't be too moisturizing these days.

"A-Qing, thank you for your hard work."

Qingji said slowly.

"What did the king say? This is the duty of the courtiers, and being able to serve the king is a blessing that the courtiers have cultivated for several lifetimes! ”

Ah Qing smiled, took the spoon again, scooped a spoonful of decoction, put it to her mouth and blew it.

Unconsciously, Ah Qing's three thousand green silks have been rolled up and become a woman's appearance.

Ashamed.

Qingji finally didn't hold back and accepted Ah Qing.

After all, people's hearts are made of flesh.

A Qing, such a Peugeot little beauty, takes such meticulous care of Qingji, how can Qingji not be moved?

The shepherdess of the past has grown up after all!

"Ah Qing, is there any sugar? This medicinal soup is very bitter. ”

Qingji had to complain.

"Cluck, cluck."

Ah Qing covered his mouth and chuckled: "King, you are a dignified husband, the king of a country, can you still be afraid of hardship?" Good medicine is bitter. Well, open your mouth. ”

Hearing this, Qingji could only open his mouth again and let Ah Qing feed himself medicine.

The entrance is bitter, which still makes Qingji a little unbearable.

It's true that the medicine is bitter, but this taste, Qingji never wants to try it again.

"The king, the minister Goujian asks to see!"

At this time, Gou Jian's voice sounded outside the car.

"Come in!"

After a short time, Gou Jian slowly climbed into the king's car and came to Qingji.

Fortunately, Qingji's royal carriage was pulled by six horses, which was spacious enough, otherwise it would not have been able to carry so many people.

"Is there something wrong?"

"The king, the minister has something important."

Gou Jian glanced at Ah Qing and Sha Li's bodies, and said hesitantly.

Hearing this, Qingji waved his hand and said, "Ah Qing, Sha Li, you go down first." ”

"No."

After Ah Qing and Sha Li retreated, Gou Jian owed half of his body, knelt in front of Qingji, and said in a low voice: "King, the minister has a matter, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The king, the minister thinks that the Dian people, the mourning people, as well as the Yelang people and the Ke people, these barbarians in the land of Baipu will have trouble sooner or later. Why didn't the king follow the example of taking Mrs. Sun as the general of Zhennan and then set up a general to suppress him? ”

Gou Jian asked tentatively.

“……”

Qingji looked at Gou Jian meaningfully.

Gou Jian hurriedly lowered his head, for fear that Qingji would see what was on his mind.

In fact, Qingji's careful thinking about Gou Jian is not like a mirror?

Sun Li's Zhennan general, who increased the title of governor and had great power, can be said to be the king of Lingnan.

In that period of five or six years, Sun Li acted as a firefighter in the six counties of Lingnan, extinguishing the rebellion of the Baiyue people again and again for Wu and Qingji.

In this regard, Qingji is in his eyes and in his heart.

However, now that the rebellion in the six counties of Lingnan has been completely wiped out by the Wu army, Qingji's position as the general of Zhennan will naturally be canceled.

However, as Gou Jian said, the land of Baipu, like the six counties of Lingnan in the past, needs to set up a Zhennan general with the title of governor of the capital......

Let Sun Li continue to serve?

Qingji is reluctant.

Moreover, Sun Li has been staying in Lingnan all these years, physically and mentally exhausted, I am afraid that if she is not careful, she will die there.

And besides Sun Li, who else can Qingji trust?

Sun Wu?

Wu Zixu?

No, no, no.

Qingji cannot deny that they are all his confidants, the ministers of the Wu State.

However, people's hearts are separated from their bellies, and it is impossible for Qingji to hand over such a great power to them.

Moreover, Sun Wu and Wu Zixu were not of much use in staying in the southwest.
