For the abilities of his sons, Qingji knows quite a lot in his heart.

Gongzi Fan inherited the courage of Qingji, can fight habitually, and can become a general in his own right, but he is deficient in scheming, and he is not tactful enough in life.

Gongzixi is Yunwen Yunwu, good at deception, flexible and changeable, and has the talent to govern the country.

If you want to choose one of the two of Gongzi Fan and Gongzi Xi, Qingji is naturally more inclined to Gongzi Xi.

"Newspaper—"

At this moment, a guard entered the big tent of the Chinese army, knelt down on one knee towards Qingji and said, "King, the envoy of the Qin State Zihu asks to see you!" ”

"Zihu? Declare. ”

"No!"

Qingji and Zihu can be said to be old acquaintances.

Zihu, as the senior doctor of Qin, sent envoys to Wu for Qin Bo all the year round, or led troops to the expedition.

And every time Zihu goes on an envoy, he basically has important tasks to do.

This time, too.

Not long after, Qingji saw Zihu with white temples, rut-like wrinkles on his face, and weathered.

At this time, Zihu is nearly fifty years old, but he looks like an old man in his twilight years, his body is rickety, and he is still strong, but his spirit is not as good as before.

Zihu, who lives in Qindi, although he is in a high position, is not a pampered person.

"The great master of the Qin Kingdom, see Wu Hou!"

Zihu bowed to Qingji without humility or arrogance.

"Zihu, don't be polite. Someone is here! ”

"Xie Wuhou."

When Zihu sat down, Qingji asked with great interest: "Zihu, you came all the way from the Qin State to meet the widow, I don't know what you have to do?" ”

"Wu Hou, I won't tell you anything, my minister is on the order of my monarch this time, and I came to persuade Wu Hou to stop attacking Shu."

Upon hearing this, Qingji just smiled faintly and said, "Why did Uncle Qin interfere in the battle of Wushu?" ”

"The widow is attacking Shu this time, it is to respect the king, the widow is the uncle, and the widow is the uncle of Fang, under the order of the Son of Heaven, to crusade against the envoys of my Wu State who are not respectful of the Zhou family, why not?"

"The name of Wu Guo's attack on Shu is justified, and the Qin State of Ru, what reason is there to meddle in the battle of Wu Shu?"

"This ......"

Zihu wanted to speak for a while.

The reason why Qin wanted to interfere in the battle of Wu Shu was self-evident.

Although Qin and Shu were neighbors, they attacked each other, and the Shu army once hit Yongcheng, the capital of Qin, which was a great shame.

It stands to reason that when Wu destroyed Shu, the Qin people should applaud.

However, there is no shortage of people of insight in the Qin State, how can they not know the truth of cold lips and teeth?

Once Shu falls, and the land of Bashu is all gained by Wu, then Qin will also directly face the threat of Wu's soldiers......

This was extremely unfavorable to the Qin state.

Therefore, after learning the news of Wu's attack on the land of Bashu, Qin Bo Yingning sent Zihu to Shu non-stop to dissuade Qingji from further cutting down Shu, or even exterminating Shu.

Zihu thought for a moment, and then said: "Marquis Wu, Shu Jun Duhu killed the envoy of Wu State without permission, he is indeed guilty. However, when I heard that Marquis Wu had captured Duhu, I should punish him severely! ”

"As for the Shu people's disrespect for the Zhou room, it has been a long time."

"Although the Shu people belong to a branch of Zhuxia and rank among the princes, they are different from the other countries, and the Shu country is the same as the 'Sanke', and the Zhou royal family lives in courtesy."

"Wu Hou used this as a name to crusade against Shu, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Therefore, the Wu army has been repeatedly frustrated in this attack on Shu. ”

"Please also ask Wu Hou to investigate!"

"Bold!"

Gongzi Fan couldn't help but scold, glared at Zihu angrily and said, "Zihu, you dare to teach my father to do things?" ”

"Don't dare."

"If you don't dare, why don't you retreat quickly?"

"My minister has the king's destiny with him, how dare he forget it?"

"You!"

"Wu Fan, step aside!"

Qingji waved his hand, and Gongzi Fan sat down unconvinced.

Zihu is a hard bone and can speak well, Gongzi wants to oppress Zihu with strength, how can the latter give in?

In this world of great controversy, almost every country will have virtuous ministers and famous people, and the same is true of Qin.

As Zihu said, the Shu people should be punished, and even Du Hu, the monarch of the Shu people, was captured by Qing Jisheng and let him fall.

In this way, what excuse does Qingji have to cut down Shu?

Qingji thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Zihu, this matter is very high, and the widow wants to discuss it with the ministers." You have been very tired and this journey, so please go down and rest for the time being. ”

"No!"

……

After Zihu retreated, Qingji looked around again, looked at the people in the big tent of the Chinese army, and said slowly: "Second and third sons, the Qin people intend to meddle in the battle of Wu Shu, when this situation occurs, what should the widow do?" ”

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but look at each other.

Gongzi Fan got up first and said to Qingji: "Father, my son thinks that my Wu country is powerful, why should I care about the Qin people helping Shu?" ”

"If the Qin people dare to participate in the war to save Shu, our army will fight with the Qin people!"

Gongzi Fan's words were very relieved, but he didn't think about it, so Qingji didn't make a sound.

Prince Heng frowned and said, "Father, my son thinks otherwise. ”

"Since our Wu army entered Shu, it has suffered repeated setbacks and has been stubbornly resisted by the Shu people. If Qin participates in it and sends troops to rescue Shu, our army will inevitably fall into a passive situation. ”

"Even if our Wu army can defeat the Qin-Shu coalition army, I am afraid that in the future war, it will be overwhelmed and stop here. Please think twice! ”

The prince is the main battle, the prince is the main one, and what the two say has its own reason.

"The prince's intention is to let my Wu army retreat?"

Gongzi Fan sneered and said: "In the battle of Jiangzhou, our army broke the Bashu coalition army and captured Shujun Duhu alive. The state of Shu is now the beginning of the new monarch, although the whole is united, and we are the Wu army. ”

"However, this is just the breath of the Shu people!"

"Husband fights, courage also. At present, although our army is temporarily frustrated by Jia Meng and thorny roads, it is difficult to advance an inch, but how long can the Shu army last? ”

"What the Shu army relies on is nothing more than the steepness of the Shu Road, if the war is in a stalemate, in terms of attrition, how can Shu consume my Wu country?"

Childe Fan is telling the truth.

Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky!

The Shu army fought locally, and had the advantage of terrain, so it was much easier to transport grain and heavy baggage than the Wu army of the labor division.

However, Wu Jun relied on an incomparably powerful state apparatus behind it.

If you want food, you need to have food, you want to have weight, you want manpower to have manpower!

Marching and fighting, in essence, is the embodiment of the comprehensive strength of the two countries.

Especially the tug-of-war.

"If the Qin State sends troops to rescue Shu, and the Ba people are in chaos in the rear, I am afraid that the situation is not optimistic."

Prince Heng just said lightly, revealing his inner worries.

Qingji bowed slightly, and then turned his gaze on Fan Li, the imperial historian, and asked: "Fan Li, do you think our army should withdraw from Shudi?" ”
