Chapter 729: Why didn't the king withdraw his troops

"Qi Hou wants to kill Wu, what can he do?"

Hearing this, looking at the letter in his hand, Wu Zixu, Fan Li and others couldn't help but change color.

Has the situation really deteriorated to this extent?

If it is the report of the Black Ice Terrace, coupled with Tian Qi's whistleblowing, there will be no fake.

And at this time, the only weakness of Wu was the capital Jinling......

After Wu Zixu pondered for a while, he said to Qingji: "The king, the national captain (Sun Wu) has returned to Jinling, with him in charge, plus the standing army of Wu County, he is not afraid of the Qi division coming to attack. ”

"The widow knows."

Qingji is still very determined.

After all, regarding the possibility of the Qi people going south to attack Wu, Qingji had discussed it with Sun Wu before, and had a countermeasure.

The strength of the garrison in Jinling City is actually not small.

Originally, there were 100,000 standing troops in the capital of Wu, Qingji went north to the Central Plains, requisitioned 50,000 people, and Prince Heng led 30,000 soldiers and horses to Yingdu to suppress the old Chu.

Therefore, the current garrison strength of Jinling is about 20,000 horses.

In the case of being prepared, with the solidity of Jinling City, coupled with Sun Wu's ability to lead the troops, the 20,000 standing army can completely guarantee that Lingcheng will not fall.

Moreover, there are a lot of soldiers and horses that can be recruited at any time in the Wu country.

As long as Qingji is willing, within a month, he can pull up a 500,000-strong fighting army!

Of course, this is purely unnecessary.

"The king, do you want to send a letter to the prince of Yingdu, ordering the prince to lead his troops back to Jinling to defend the royal capital?"

Bo asked with a frown.

"Not necessarily."

Qing Ji said with a surging smile: "The soldiers and horses of Yingdu should not act rashly. If Master Qi dares to come, the widow will be able to let him ...... There is no return! ”

Originally, Qingji didn't plan to start a war with Qi too early, but the Qi people didn't measure their own strength and took the initiative to come to the door, how could Qingji let go of the Qi army?

"What the widow is more worried about now is the princes of the Six Jin Dynasty."

Qingji said slowly: "Han Buxin, Zhong Xingyin, and Zhao Ji were suspicious of each other, and they did not abandon their previous suspicions. ”

"Once they know that the capital of our Wu Kingdom was secretly attacked by the Qi army, and now the battle to attack Jinyang City is unfavorable, I am afraid that they will have different intentions."

“……”

Qingji's worry is not unreasonable.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

Wu Jun's current logistical supply, food and clothing basically rely on the six countries of Zhao, Han, Wei, Fan, Zhi, and Bank of China, which is actually a somewhat dangerous thing.

Once the Liujin cut off the logistical supply to the Wu army and attacked it in groups, Qingji would inevitably fall into passivity and have to withdraw from the Central Plains battlefield.

"The king, if this is the case, why doesn't the king withdraw his troops?"

Fan Li couldn't help but say: "King, please forgive the minister, my Wu army is on an expedition, and the current situation is worrying. ”

"If the princes of the Six Jin Dynasty have different intentions and secretly instigate Zhao Ying to attack our Wu army together, I am afraid that although the Wu army is strong, it will inevitably not sink in the sand, and please let the king know!"

Those who dare to make a mistake and admonish the jealousy, Fan Li is counted as one.

Fortunately, Qingji has the amount of tolerance and knows the truth that loyalty is good for deeds, otherwise he will really alienate or depose Fan Li......

This time the battle of Jinyang put the monarchs and ministers of Wu in a dilemma.

On the one hand, Qingji wanted to use this battle to consolidate the hegemony of Wu in the Central Plains, and by the way, weaken the princes of the Six Jin Dynasty and eradicate the trouble of Zhao Ying, a henchman.

On the other hand, Qingji was also worried that the monarchs of the six kingdoms of Zhao, Han, Wei, Fan, Zhi, and Bank of China, who had their own ghosts, would take advantage of this opportunity to their disadvantage......

Qingji couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Exactly, should we withdraw our troops at this time?

Qingji has never been a person who will give up halfway.

It's just that the situation faced by Qingji this time is really a bit dangerous.

Among the princes of the Six Jin Dynasty, like Qingji, the ones who really wanted to conquer Jinyang City and kill Zhao Ying were Zhao Ji, Shi Jichu and Zhong Xingyin.

Zhisong had an ambiguous attitude, and was forced to submit to the power of Wu State.

Han Buxin and Wei Hao are the same.

Han, Zhao, and Wei were originally families with the same spirit, and Han Buxin and Wei Hao had a close friendship with Zhao Ying.

The rest of the six Jin princes, Qingji could not guarantee that they would not have a sense of "cold lips and teeth", and in order to ensure their own interests, they attacked the Wu army en masse.

"Let the widow think about it, think about it......"

Qingji waved his hand and let the ministers withdraw from the Chinese army's tent.

Qing Ji immediately closed his eyes, like an immortal cultivator meditating, thinking about Wu Jun's whereabouts.

At this time, Qingji actually didn't care about Zhao Ying's life and death.

Qingji wanted to take advantage of this battle of Jinyang to let the vassal states of the Six Jin Dynasty suffer a great loss of vitality and let more displaced people enter the Wu Kingdom to settle down......

This can be described as a major "sinister intention" of Qingji.

The weapons and armor transported from the state of Wu, as well as the military baggage, were actually paid for by the princes of the Six Jin Dynasty.

All the grain, vegetables, meat, winter clothes and other items of the coalition army were also provided by the princes of the Six Jin Dynasty.

Isn't that a huge expense?

It is conceivable that the overburdened vassal states of the Six Jin Dynasty will inevitably levy additional taxes and heavily oppress the domestic Li Shu.

This is actually of great benefit to Wu Guo.

……

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

Heavy snow of goose feathers, falling from the dome, boiling.

The cold wind was howling, and the biting chill made people shiver.

The soldiers of the Wu State, who were difficult to adapt to this climate, were already sitting around the campfire, baking the fire to keep warm.

While they were gossiping, chatting about family life, talking and laughing, they didn't forget to barbecue mutton and fish.

The treatment of the officers and men of the Wu army is definitely the best among the armies of other countries.

Since they shed their blood for themselves and for the Wu State, Qingji will not treat them badly in material terms.

At this time, Qingji, who was still indecided, slowly walked out of the Chinese army's tent, and saw the guards eating barbecue at a glance.

"The King."

"Don't worry about the widows, keep eating."

"King Xie."

Looking at Qingji with a kind expression, the guards of Wu Guo sat down slowly and continued to eat barbecue, but their eyes stayed on Qingji's body.

Because, at a glance, Qingji saw Gongzi Fan, who was holding a roast leg of lamb with one hand, eating with a mouth full of oil, and not forgetting to stand next to a dry and tall mulberry tree and humming a song.

What is this guy doing?

Pee?

"Good boy!"

Qingji couldn't help but step forward, sneak attacked from behind, and kicked Gongzi Fan with one kick!

"Ahh Who! ”

"Dare to sneak attack Ben Gongzi and look for death?"

Gongzi Fan fell and ate, his pants hadn't even had time to be lifted, and he was still holding a half-eaten roast leg of lamb in his hand.

When he fell, he still ate some ice and snow in his mouth, so he turned around indignantly and glared at Qingji.

After seeing that it was his father Wang Qingji, Gongzi Fan couldn't help but turn pale and felt a little aggrieved.
