Patience?

Qingji is not a person who is good at forbearance.

However, Qing Ji knows the truth of "endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky".

However, repeated forbearance will only make the Persians gain an inch.

Qingji didn't know in his heart that the real purpose of the Persians' eastward crusade this time was the state of Wu and the countries of China?

The Achaemenid dynasty of the Persians was a powerful country, and its monarch was an ambitious man.

Just like Qin Shi Huang, who ruled the world, if he were given a map of the world, I am afraid that the territory of the Qin Dynasty would be more than that.

The Persians knew that there was an incomparably rich kingdom in the East, so how could they let it go?

At this time, Gongzi Fan couldn't help but look angrily at Wu Zixu of the Lord and said, "Great Sima! Don't say it, Wu Ming is your son! How can you, as a father, care less about the safety of your own son?"

Hearing this, Wu Zixu slowly closed his eyes and said in a surging voice: "Master Fan, the old minister is Wu Ming's biological father, but I, Wu Zixu, am the king's courtier, the great Sima of Wu State, how can I put the relationship between father and son above the interests of the country?"

In this kind of thing, Wu Zixu can indeed be selfless.

Qingji knows that Wu Zixu is a "mean" person, mean to others, and even more mean to himself.

Wu Zixu is always meticulous and strict with himself, giving people the impression of being mean and unkind......

For Wu Zixu, in order to ensure the rights and interests of Wu State, what is it to sacrifice a son?

"You ......"

Childe Fan couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a while.

"The King."

Captain Sun Wu stood up and saluted Qingji, "The minister thinks that this battle with the Persians is inevitable."

"The Persians are aggressive, if they are allowed to conquer the countries of the Western Regions, or even Xirong and Qin, their next target will definitely be our Wu State."

"Therefore, the king needs to prepare in advance in case of emergency!"

"For Loulan City, save, must be saved."

Qing Ji had a solemn look on his face, and waved his big hand and said, "Those who offend my Huaxia Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away!"

"All the people of Wu Kingdom, no matter where they are, if they are in danger, they will be saved even if they are far away!"

"The widow shall not allow the Persian robbers to kill my people, to rob me of my goods, and to take possession of my land."

When Qingji made up his mind, Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Fan Li and others present couldn't help but have a serious look on their faces, bowed to Qingji and said, "I want to listen to the king's dispatch!"

Bet on Qingji, wouldn't it make the state of Wu, which is hegemonic and fully realized, fall into a situation from which it will never recover?

However, such a risk is worth taking in Qingji's view.

Because borrowing money to the army of a country is indeed very risky, and the stakes are high.

Just like the story of the Jin people's "false way to destroy the enemy", how can the Qin people and Xirong not take it as a warning?

If the Wu army's battle with the Persians was fake, and the destruction of Qin was true, wouldn't Qin Bo Yingning cry to death?

Therefore, in order to avoid the Qin people being unwilling to take advantage of the Tao, or repeatedly prevaricating, Qingji had to make this trip and give orders in the name of the overlord.

"The king is wise!"

The imperial historian Fan Li complimented, and said, "The king, the minister thinks that fighting against the Persians is not the business of my Wu family."

"The king is the uncle canonized for the Son of Heaven, and has the right to command the princes."

"In this battle, the king should call on the princes of the world to ally with Qin, and send troops west to conquer the Persians together, and jointly resist foreign insults!"

"Good."

Qingji bowed slightly, and said, "Fan Li, you will choose the messenger, send the envoys, order the nations, some people will send people, there will be money to contribute, you must participate in this battle."

"If you don't obey the orders of the widow, you should be regarded as a rebel, and in the future, Wu will be killed!"

"No!"

Fan Li immediately agreed.

At present, the state of Wu is actually going to participate in the war, and the Persians who are on an expedition to the Western Regions, how can the northern countries watch the fire from the other side and stay out of the matter?

The Silk Road benefited not only from the Wu State, but also from the rest of the Qin, Qi, Song, Lu, Wei and other countries, as well as the Six Jin Dynasty, all of which more or less made a lot of money through the Silk Road.

Once the Silk Road is controlled by the Persians, it is equivalent to cutting off a financial route for the Chinese countries, how can the countries allow it?

Moreover, Wu Guo is now a veritable overlord of the world, and Qingji is a person who will do what he says.

In case some vassal states really don't participate in this war, it's hard to guarantee whether Qingji will settle accounts after the autumn!

At this time, the crown prince Heng thought for a while, and then said to Qingji: "Father, the sons and daughters think that the eight kingdoms of Xirong can also be used."

"Father should send messengers to persuade the eight nations of Xijon to join the alliance and send troops together to destroy the Persian army."

"Good."

For the eight countries of Xirong, Qingji is still quite important.

In the past, Qin Mugong had to be more than enough, and the eight kingdoms of Xirong were subordinated to Qin, and there were Yiqu, Dali, Wushi, and Shuyan in the north of Qi, Liangshan, Jing, and Qizhi.

Although Qin Mu opened up thousands of miles and dominated Xirong, he did not really destroy all the Xirong countries after all, and the eight countries of Xirong only submitted to Qin, and from time to time went south to herd horses, which became a problem for the Qin people.

If possible, Qingji will also think about using the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong to contain the Qin people, and then make the Wu State destroy the Qin in a war.

"Fan Li."

"The minister is here!"

"It's up to you to take a trip, take the first step, and persuade Qin Bo to take advantage of the road and conquer the Persians together."

"Minister, obey the king's command!"

Qingji set his eyes on the body of the great Sima Wu Zixu again, and said, "Soldier, you will sit in Hanzhong County, transfer troops from the country, and transfer grain and baggage."

"No!"

The Persians who went on an expedition to the Western Regions this time were different from the previous attack on the land of Bashu.

The climatic conditions in the northwest are harsh, so most of the soldiers of Wu will come from Nanjun, Nanyang County, Sanchuan County, Wu County and other places, mainly good at chariot warfare.

Fortunately, the Wu army, which had previously conquered the land of Bashu, remained in place to rest.

Otherwise, it would take a lot of time for Wu to recruit an army of tens of thousands again.
