Now, it is the critical moment of the Battle of Weishui, isn't it ridiculous that Qingji actually removed Sun Wu, who had won a hundred battles, and replaced the young Gongzihong? Hunger

How could the command of an army of two or three hundred thousand be handed over to a young man who did not have much experience in leading troops to fight!

Qingji, this is clearly misleading the country and the people!

Although Gongzihong, as the eldest son of Qingji, he enlisted in the army at the age of fourteen, and has repeatedly made military exploits, and has followed Qingji, Sun Wu and others all the year round.

However, this does not mean that Gongzihong can really shoulder such a heavy burden.

The elite division of the whole country is entrusted to him, how can Qingji really rest assured?

Could it be that just because Sun Wu couldn't make progress in the Battle of Weishui, he had to change his generals on the spot?

Sun Wu couldn't help but feel a little chilled for a while. Hunger

Including the generals in the tent, they also feel sad about the death of rabbits and foxes.

Regarding the doubts of Sun Wu and the others, Gongzihong just laughed and said, "Captain, this time, that time."

"Father and Guowei, you do have an alliance with Longzangpu, but Guowei led his troops to attack Qin, and he did not make an inch of success, but he made my Wu State lose troops and lose his generals, and the amount of grain and straw consumed is incalculable!"

"Captain ask yourself, are you worthy of the king's high hopes and the father of the state of Wu?"

「……」

Sun Wu was silent.

The battle to destroy Qin was so difficult, Sun Wu had expected it, so let Qingji be mentally prepared. Hunger

Unexpectedly, Qingji still couldn't hold back after all, thinking that his Sun Wu was not good at fighting, and he was suspected of supporting the army and respecting himself......

As the saying goes, mourning is greater than heart death.

At this moment, Sun Wu already hated to die and swear his loyalty to Qingji.

After a long time, Sun Wu finally let out a long sigh and said, "It's okay. Childe, the old man is about to return to Jinling and report to the king, on the front line, there are some things, the old man needs to explain one or two things to the son......

"Not necessarily."

Gongzihong waved his hand and said, "The king's order is to let you leave immediately without delay."

"What?" Hunger

All the generals couldn't help but stare at each other, feeling that Qingji had gone too far this time.

Sun Wu shook his head, bowed to Gongzi Hong, and said, "In this way, Sun Wu retreats."

"Captain!"

All the generals are fighting for Sun Wu.

However, Sun Wu turned around and left the Chinese army's tent with some despair.

Under the watchful eyes of many soldiers, Sun Wu boarded the chariot and, escorted by dozens of soldiers, embarked on the road back to Jinling.

But, did Sun Wu really return to Jinling? Hunger

Definitely!

In the middle of the night, Gongzihong saw a tall black-robed man in his bedroom.

The black-robed man took off his hood, revealing a weather-beaten face with Chinese characters.

This person is none other than Sun Wu!

Looking at Sun Wu's somewhat puzzled gaze, Gongzihong hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to him and saluted, "Captain, there are many offends during the day, please don't blame you."

"This ...... Childe, could it be that the king still has a secret edict?"

"Exactly." Hunger

Gongzihong took out another secret edict, handed it to Sun Wu to look at, and then smiled slightly: "Guowei, this is the king's strategy. I am the nominal general, and the actual command of the army is still in your hands."

"The only people who know about this now are you, me, the king, and Fan Li."

"This is already the top secret in the army, and even in the entire Wu country."

"Good!"

After seeing the content of the secret edict, Sun Wu finally bowed his head slightly in convincing, and his mood was relieved.

Gongzihong said again: "Captain, during this time, I have wronged you to stay in the curtain and wait for it to change."

"I can't ask for it." Hunger

……

Time enters Wu Wang Qingji II

Twelve years, that is, 492 B.C., the tenth lunar month.

On the Weishui line, nearly 500,000 troops of Wu and Qin are still facing each other.

It stands to reason that the logistical supply pressure of the Wu army is too great for a protracted war.

However, the first one who couldn't hold on was the Qin State.

In the territory of Qin, although there are rivers and a lot of fertile land, there is still a large amount of land that has not yet been reclaimed, and the Qin people still live a half-agricultural and semi-nomadic life like Rong Di.

Therefore, there was not much grain hoarded in the warehouses of the Qin State at all. Hunger

Less than two months after the start of the war, the great granary of the Qin State was basically consumed.

As a last resort, Qin Boyingpan, who had not long succeeded to the throne, chose to levy more grain from the countrymen, which led to great damage to the production of Qin.

Although this is a situation where foreign enemies have invaded and the society is in danger, the Qin people cannot even guarantee the most basic rations, so how can they fight the enemy army?

Yingpan's repeated levies on grain have led to the boiling of public resentment, and some of the countrymen who originally shared his hatred and hatred have fled in large numbers and hid in the mountains to escape the heavy and dangerous conscription......

At this time, in the Qi Nian Palace in Yongcheng, wearing a simple and ordinary clothes, sitting on the couch, drinking the rice porridge in the bowl, eating the bran vegetables, the dishes in the plate, there is not much meat.

Now it is possible to save it.

As the king of a country, he naturally wants to lead by example, so as to make the Qin State work up and down, and squeeze out some rations and send them to the front line with a simple style. Hunger

Sitting with Yingpan is Doctor Jingyang.

Jingyang looked at such a tight Yingpan, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, covered his face with his sleeves, and made a "woo" sobbing sound, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Jingyang, what are you crying about?"

Yingpan asked with a frown.

"The monarch, the minister is crying. Now my Qin country is really an eventful autumn."

Jingyang sighed and said, "It is indeed a good thing for the monarch to lead by example, abstain from extravagance and practice frugality."

"It's just that the monarch is the monarch of the Qin people, and a meal is so simple, like an ordinary Li Shu, it may be inferior, how can this not be embarrassing?" Hunger

When Yingpan heard this, he shook his head and said, "When it is extraordinary, you should do extraordinary things. Why don't widows want to eat big fish and meat?"

"However, the soldiers on the front line, there are still some people who are hungry, if the widow does not take pity on them and ensure their rations, the Qin State ...... If you say you die, you will die."

Jingyang lowered his head and said, "Monarch, with all due respect, in the past half a year, on the front line of Weishui, my Qin State has invested more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, and there are still about 300,000 soldiers."

"The sheer size of its forces is unprecedented. Our Qin army clearly occupies the advantage of troops, why is Zihu just passively beaten and unable to hold out?"

"Zihu is cowardly, please be enlightened."

When Yingpan heard this, he could only let out a long sigh and said, "Battle? Jingyang, if our Qin army still has the strength to fight, I am afraid that it will definitely not make the war stalemate to this end."

"The Wu army is full of elite soldiers, while our Qin army is mostly old and weak. In a head-on battle, how can you win? It is not easy for Zihu to survive until now." Hunger
