If the Three Jin Coalition Army just wants to teach Zheng Guo a lesson, why do they need an army of 250,000 at every turn?

Regarding Wu Zixu's statement, Qingji bowed slightly and agreed.

As early as a few years ago, when Ji competently used Yangziju to change the law, Qingji had already predicted that Zheng Guo would one day have civil strife, and even become a major cause of Zheng Guo's downfall.

It's just that Qingji didn't expect this day to come so quickly!

"Wu Zixu, if you want to save Zheng, how many people do you need?"

Qingji asked.

"At least eighty thousand!"

"The widow will give you an army of 100,000!"

"Thank you, King!"

Wu Zixu thanked him solemnly.

……

After getting off the court meeting, Qingji summoned Wu Zixu alone in the Zide Palace.

"Zixu, how are you going to fight this battle?"

For the war on the front line, Qingji, who is sitting in the national capital, will not interfere at will, but he must know it in his heart.

"The king, the minister started from the big camp of Bashang and rode 100,000 people, sent out the letter, borrowed the land of Zhou Wangji, and will gallop to the aid of Xinzheng, and unite with the Zheng army to repel the attack of the Sanjin coalition army."

Hearing this, Qingji couldn't help but shake his head.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with the minister's strategy?"

Wu Zixu was a little worried.

His strategy is decent, and it is difficult to find fault with it.

But, this time Qingji is not as simple as saving Zheng?

"Zixu, the widow won't lie to you."

Qingji said meaningfully: "Saving Zheng this time is only a secondary purpose. ”

"Since Yangziju changed the law, Zheng Guo has become stronger, and he can take advantage of this opportunity to weaken Zheng Guo."

"If I Wu Guo saves Zheng and can't take advantage of it, how can I make it?"

Qingji is a materialist who focuses on practical interests rather than ethereal reputations.

The Spring and Autumn era of fighting the nominal war is long gone.

Now this world of great controversy is like the "Warring States Period".

If he can't benefit the country, why can't Qingji sit back and watch Zheng Guo be destroyed by the Three Jins?

"The king, if you want to make a profit, the king can send an envoy to Zheng Bo to make a letter of state, so that Zheng Guo will cede several cities. I believe that Zheng Bo will not and dare not refuse. ”

"Nope."

Qingji smiled and said: "Zixu, how can a widow do something that falls into the well?" ”

"To save Zheng, you don't necessarily have to send troops to Xinzheng. I, Wu Jun, can surround Han to save Zheng, and encircle Wei to save Zheng. ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Zixu finally reacted and suddenly said: "The king's intention is to plot the land west of the river?" ”

"Hahahaha. Those who know the widow, Wu Zixu also! ”

Qingji praised and said: "Zixu, you are a master of the art of war, a veteran of the battlefield, and you should know the importance of the land west of the river." ”

】

"Chang'an County of my Wu State, called 'Guanzhong', also has the title of the land of Sisai."

"Because now there are four major Wu passes in Guanzhongsheng, namely Hangu Pass in the east, Wuguan in the south, Dasan Pass in the west and Xiao Pass in the north."

"The Dasan Pass in the west and the Xiao Pass in the north were originally set up by Dawu to prevent Xirong from herding horses and encroaching on the border, and now the eight countries of Xirong have been destroyed by our Wu State, even if there is a slight rebellion, it can't set off too much wind and waves."

"The Wuguan in the south is mainly the Qin State of Defense, and the Qin State has fallen. Therefore, Wuguan does not have much strategic position, but it is still the throat of transportation. ”

"The rest of Hangu Pass, the solid of Cuihan, is the place where the soldiers of my Wu State and the Kwantung countries must fight."

Qingji's words were said so clearly, how could Wu Zixu not understand the deep meaning?

Wu now sits in the Guanzhong Shape of the place, mainly because of the Hangu Pass.

For example, in the historical Qin State, there was no Hangu Pass, and there would be no shape in Guanzhong, whoever wanted to come in could come in, and whoever wanted to beat him could beat him.

However, the premise for Hangu Pass to play a role is that the Qin State must occupy the land west of the river.

There is the Yellow River to the north of Hangu Pass, and there is a Qinling blockade to the south of Hangu Pass.

For example, the Yellow River and the Qinling Mountains are the city walls, while the Hangu Pass is the city gate.

And the west side of the wall of the Yellow River is the land west of the river. Therefore, there is a land west of the river, and Guanzhong can only take shape to take shape.

If there is no land west of the river, there is no point in Guanzhong's victory.

There is no tangible victory in Guanzhong, that is, the Qin State can only be slaughtered by others.

If the Qin State wants to survive, it must take the land west of the river.

If the Qin State wants to be strong, it must also take the land west of the river.

If the Qin State wants to fight for hegemony, it has to take the land west of the river.

Therefore, the land west of the river is a dead knot between Qin and Jin, Qin and Wei......

Wu now has to take the land west of the river, so that it can rely on the Yellow River and the Qinling Mountains to form a strategic channel.

Even if there is no Hangu Pass, the army can be placed in a key position.

Hexi is the potential, the Hexi Plateau overlooks the Sanjin, and the Hangu Pass and the Cuihan Passage are dangerous, there is a potential to be dangerous, and there is no potential not only no danger, but also the risk is someone else's.

In addition, the comprehensive national strength in the era of cold weapons is land and population.

And with land, especially fertile land, there will be a sufficient base of population.

So, in that sense, land and people are crucial.

It is worth mentioning that the land west of the river is located between Luoshui and the Yellow River, covering Huayin, Dali, Pucheng, Chengcheng, Baishui, Heyang and Hancheng.

The area of the land west of the river is not small, and it can even be said to be very large.

It is also located between the Yellow River and the Luo River, so it is not only convenient for transportation but also fertile for land.

For various reasons, Wu must take the land west of the river.

At this time, the land of Hexi was in the hands of Han and Wei, and some of them, such as Huayin and Dali, belonged to the rule of Wu.

When the Jin State was divided before, the Qin State was divided into the land of Hexi, but the Han and Wei countries took advantage of the time when the Wu State destroyed the Qin State and had already occupied it.

If Qingji wants to send troops to surround Wei to save Zheng, don't be too simple.

Because, Anyi, the capital of Wei State, is in the area of Hedong, only four or five hundred miles away from Sanchuan County of Wu State.

"King, if you want to take all the land west of the river, please increase the army by 50,000!"

"The widow is right."

Qingji was very generous, and with a wave of his hand, he gave Wu Zixu another 50,000 horses.

Because no one dares to guarantee that after Wu occupies the land west of the river, the Three Jin Dynasty will not join forces to attack Wu.

"Zixu, if you can be a widow this time, seize the land west of the river for the state of Wu. The widow should crown you as Wu Xinjun! ”

"Thank you, King!"

Hearing Qingji's promise, Wu Zixu was also quite excited.

What is "Jun"?

Feudal monarchs like Xiong Zhen and Gou Jian have only one successor's name, which is of little significance.

And titles like Wu Anjun and Wu Xinjun are undoubtedly the highest honors pursued by the generals of Wu State.

Sun Wu has been named "Wu Anjun", a very popular minister, why doesn't Wu Zixu want to follow closely and keep pace with Sun Wu?

……

Zheng Guodu City, Xinzheng.

Xinzheng should be named "Zheng".

Xinzheng was called "there is a bear" in ancient times, and Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor built the capital here.

In the era of Emperor Yu, Xinzheng was the country of Zhurong, and then Xinzheng was the country of Yi.

In 770 BC, Zheng moved the capital from Xianlin to Qinweishui, which was still Zheng.

Xinzheng's statement is just a rumor, and the official certification is still "Zheng".

"Kill!"

At this moment, inside and outside Xinzheng City, the shouts of killing rose to the sky, shaking the sky.

The soldiers of the allied armies of Han, Zhao and Wei are attacking the capital of Zheng State.

In order to boost morale and invigorate people, Zheng Bojisheng had to put on a helmet and armor, hold a broadsword to supervise the battle at the head of the city, and repelled the attacks of the Three Jin Coalition forces again and again.
