"Widow...... How can you wait for 30 years? ”

Qing Ji replied surgingly.

Don't say it's thirty years, it's ten years, and you can't afford to wait!

Today's Qingji is already a year of no confusion, and he is a full forty years old.

If you don't fight at this time, I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity in the future.

After Qingji vetoed Gongzihong's proposal, Wu Zixu, who had been pondering for a long time, got up and bowed to Qingji: "King, the minister thinks that my Wu Kingdom wants to dominate the world, and the first is in the Central Plains!" ”

"The first to bear the brunt are the vassal states of Tang, Cai, Xu, and Xu. There are now thirteen vassal states in our Wu Kingdom, and their total territory adds up to more than one county, and their total population exceeds one million. ”

"Although Wu is in power, there are garrisons in his country, and the ruling ministers are also Wu people, and they regard my Wu country as their suzerain, worship every year, and pay tribute every year."

"However, after all, it is not directly under the jurisdiction of Wu State, and it is inevitable that it will not be able to do it. If Wu can annex these thirteen vassal states, it will definitely increase its national strength, and it will show a dog-tooth intertwined trend with the northern states in terms of territory, which is enough to divide and encircle the countries and make full preparations for the king to dominate the world! ”

There are thirteen vassal states of Wu, namely Xue, Teng, Di, Tan, Ju, Cai, Xu, Zhongwu, Tang, Xu, Dun, Cao, and Chen.

Not to mention the latter ones, Xue, Teng, Di, Tan, Ju, Cai, Xu, Zhongwu, and Tang, these nine vassal states, have been subjugated to Wu for many years, and have basically been assimilated, which is similar to the counties of Wu.

It is naturally very simple for Wu to annex these vassal states.

However, as soon as Wu Zixu's words fell, before Qingji could speak, Gongzi Hong, who was sitting opposite, retorted: "Da Sima's words are wrong. ”

"What is a vassal? The submission of a small country to a large country is a vassal. ”

"However, you can't be nameless. If the state of Wu annexes its own vassal state without authorization, it will attract the criticism of the people of the world, not to mention, how can any country dare to submit to our country of Wu in the future? ”

Hearing this, Wu Zixu smiled and said, "What the son said, Da Miao." ”

"Not to mention the four kingdoms of Xu, Dun, Cao, and Chen, the remaining nine vassal states have been subjugating to our Wu State for a long time, and they have already existed in name only."

"There is no need to send troops to conquer, the king only needs an edict to make the nine countries change their flags and become the new territory of my Wu country."

"As for whether other countries will submit to Wu in the future, it doesn't matter anymore."

"If you reach that point, the conquest of the world will become more and more fierce, and the annexation wars will continue, I am afraid that there will be no more suzerains and vassals in the four seas!"

Wu Zixu's words made Sun Wu, Fan Li and others present couldn't help but bow their heads slightly and express their approval.

In fact, including Gongzihong, they are very clear in their hearts.

The vassal states that submitted to the state of Wu could not escape the end of their destruction in the end.

It's like a vassal state of Chu in the past.

Since ancient times, whether it is an emperor or a prince, they have all adhered to a tradition-

Destroy the country and worship endlessly!

You can destroy its country, but you can't really sacrifice its temple!

Wu Guo is also average.

Even if the Yue State and the Chu State were destroyed one after another, Qingji never executed their monarchs, but was able to treat them well, give them food, and hereditary replacement, ensuring that they could be the same as the Wu State, and they would be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, and they would not have to worry about food and clothing!

This is a tradition that has a long history.

Just like the Chu State in the past, Yong, Lu, Luo, Deng and other countries were all vassal states of Chu in the past, but after years of assimilation, these vassal states were canceled and disappeared in the long river of history......

Submit to?

Inexistent.

With the establishment of Wu State's hegemony, the world has ushered in a new pattern, just like the "Three Families Divided into Jin" and "Tian Clan Generation" in history.

The alliance of Cheng Zhou marks that this era has entered a new Warring States era!

The great ones get bigger, the smaller the small ones become, until they perish, and then all the nations are forged into new frontiers.

The trend of great unification is destined to be irreversible.

Gongzihong thought for a while, and then said to Wu Zixu: "Da Sima, I admit that the destruction of the vassal state is a foregone conclusion. ”

"However, even if it is like Cai, Xu, and Zhong Wu, the early vassal states of my Wu State, so far, they have only surrendered to Wu State for more than ten years."

"It is true that these vassal states have changed their customs and implemented new laws, and they are almost on a par with our Wu State. It's just that the annexation of vassal states is not trivial. ”

"Because it's not one or two vassals, it's nine, thirteen!"

"How can you rush it?"

Hearing this, Wu Zixu bowed slightly, obviously agreeing with Gongzihong's opinion.

It is very simple for Wu to annex its own vassals.

There is even no need to have a single soldier and a single soldier, just find an excuse, and a royal edict can remove its monarch, and then its land will be reduced to a county......

"What Wu Hong said is true."

Qingji glanced at Gongzihong with appreciation, and then said with a smile: "The matter of annexing various vassal states is indeed not to be rushed. ”

"The intention of the widow, Wu Guo wants to clear the world and make the sea belong to one family, and it needs to be divided into several steps. The annexation of a vassal state is only one step, not the first step. ”

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

Wu Zixu hurriedly said: "The minister also thinks that what Hong Gongzi said is extremely true. However, if the king wants to dominate the world, he must take the Central Plains, but the northern kingdoms. ”

"The land of Kyushu in China is for the world."

"The main military direction of my Wu State in the future should be the Central Plains!"

"If you take the Central Plains, the thirteen vassal states must be annexed in one go, without giving them a chance to breathe. If not, the ministers are afraid that the northern countries will react, and then form a coalition army to attack our Wu country! ”

Wu Zixu's view is still very reasonable.

After all, if the Wu State chooses to annex its thirteen vassal states one by one, the difficulty coefficient is too great, not to mention, the key is how can the Heavenly Kingdom tolerate it?

What is the danger of this desire to add to sin?

When the time comes, how can the northern countries, which feel the huge threat of Wu and everyone in danger, not make a decision and then move to join forces to destroy Wu?

The first step for Wu to dominate the world is actually very crucial.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning!

If the first step is not done well, there is basically no hope for the remaining steps......

"No!"

Gongzihong still strongly objected, and said: "Father, Da Sima's strategy of annexing various vassal states is really too risky!" ”

"Once Wu annexes its vassal states one by one, it will inevitably cause greater chaos in the world. The hegemony that I, Wu Guoshi, have just established, will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and it will be destroyed by our own hands! ”

"Father, please Mingjian!"

Whether it is Gongzihong or Wu Zixu, there is nothing wrong with their statements.

As Gongzihong said, the annexation of Wu by Wu means that the overlord Wu will no longer exist, and Qingji will no longer be able to achieve "Jiuhe princes, one Kuang world"!
