Kong Qiu and Zeng pointed out that this is not to grow the ambition of others and destroy their own prestige. They have lived in Xianyang for so long and have dealt with many Rong Di, so they know some customs of the Qiang people.

"Zhisu Neishi, according to what you said, could it be that my Dawu can only passively shrink the line of defense?" Bo Yan glared at Zeng Dian and sneered: "Don't you hear about Rong Di's harm?" ”

"Whenever the Qiang people invade, the soldiers and civilians of our Wu State can only retreat in the city, wait for the Qiang people to plunder, and then continue to go out to settle down and clean up the mess."

"How much loss will this cause to my Wu Kingdom, have you ever estimated the history of Zhisu Nei?" Zeng Dian frowned and said: "The Qiang people's attacks from time to time will indeed bring a lot of losses to Great Wu. However, if you go out without authorization, fight at every turn, and finally return without success, the losses brought to my Wu country are even more immeasurable! ”

"This point, please don't forget it!" In the final analysis, the ministers of the two factions, headed by Bo Biao and Zeng Dian, are still entangled in the pros and cons.

"Humph!" Bo Yu snorted coldly and said, "This is wrong! ”

"The Qiang people have not yet been conquered, how do you know the internal history of Su Zhisu, whether my Wu State will win a complete victory in this battle, or will it return in vain?"

"Why not give it a try?" Zeng Dian shook his head and said, "Try? I am afraid that the cost of such a try is too great, and it is not good for the community! ”

"You!" Bo Yan glared and said: "Do you let the king, you let the second and third sons, watch the people of the country being slaughtered by the Qiang people, and be indifferent?" ”

"If this goes on for a long time, the trade routes are threatened, how can the merchants of the East and the West dare to do business?"

"You are misleading the country and the people!"

"This ......" was so stunned that he couldn't speak. At this time, he was still a teacher who had ordered, and the scheming Kong Qiu could talk to Bo Qiu on top of his tongue and be with Bo Tu

"Fight", a showdown.

"What Cheng said in the imperial history, Da Miao also!" Kong Qiu raised his eyebrows coldly, looked at Bo Yan with disdain, and said: "There is the second generation of Xia Shang, to the Great Zhou, so far, the Qiangrong Rebellion in the northwest has never stopped. ”

"All dynasties, as for the Zhou and Qin people, they all used the method of suppression, how dare they open up land to the northwest? How can we open up land to the northwest? ”

"In the past, Qin Mu opened the country to the twelve, opened up thousands of miles, and dominated Xirong, but that's all."

"After so many years, the Qin people have never been able to conquer the eight kingdoms of Xirong and destroy the eight kingdoms of Xirong."

"The national strength of the Qin people is not allowed on the one hand. On the other hand, the Qin state had no intention of expanding its territory to the west. ”

"If the Qiang land is opened, the cost of governance is extremely high, and it is far better to encroach and annex the countries to the east and strive for domination of the world." After a pause, Kong Qiu bowed to Qingji on the throne again, and said earnestly: "Great King, the minister thinks that I, Great Wu, cannot waste my national strength on the Qiang people. ”

"For the sake of the present, the king should devote all his national power to the east, destroy the nations, and accomplish a great cause that has never been done before!"

"......" Kong Qiu's words made Qingji fall into deep thought. Qingji's real ambition is to dominate China in his lifetime and make himself a well-deserved figure

"The First Emperor". But, how easy is it to say? After the reform of the Chinese countries, their national strength has been significantly improved.

Although the national strength of Wu is very strong, the population is large, the territory is vast, and the treasury is full of money and grain.

However, there are very few powers that Wu Guo can really use! Unless, Qingji can be ruthless, exploit Li Shu of Wu State, set up a name, and set up all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes...... Can Qingji do that?

Not unavoidable. It's just that in this way, it will inevitably make Li Shu up and down the Wu State a little detached, which is not conducive to promoting integration.

Kongqiu's statement also made Qingji temporarily dispel the idea of opening up land to the west and conquering the Qiang people.

Because, Wu has not yet annexed the countries and unified the world, so it is very unrealistic to think about eliminating the four yi.

After some careful consideration, Qingji waved his hand and motioned for Bo Ji to step back and not speak.

"Widows, we can't watch our people suffer from the slaughter of Qiangrong, and we won't let the trade routes that have been built with great difficulty be destroyed by Qiangrong." Qingji said slowly: "However, the national strength is limited. The goal of the widow, the enterprising direction of the Wu State, is still to unify China, and lose his will! ”

"In view of this, the widow decided to send troops to resist the invasion of the Qiang."

"At the same time, in the area of the bottom of the Hehuang Valley, build the Great Wall and set up passes, and be sure to prevent the Qiang people from attacking!"

"King Shengming!" Qunchen Mountain shouted. This made Ji Ran, Kong Qiu, Zeng Dian and other ministers happy. It seems that Qingji can still listen to the advice, and he does not insist on going his own way, and he has to conquer the Qiang land.

"Destiny ......" Qingji was just about to issue an edict.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly entered the Chongzheng Palace, handed over a piece of music, and said loudly: "Great King, Longxi is a great victory!" "A big victory?

Qingji took the good news handed over by the CRRC Fuling Jiaoli, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, very satisfied.

"Second and third sons, a great victory in Longxi."

"Wu Zhang used 3,000 iron horsemen in Didao to break the Qiangrong, beheaded more than 10,000 people, did not leave a single living mouth, and all of them became Jingguan, so as to deter the Qiangrong."

"When the rest of Qiang Rong saw this, they have already fled!"

"Wu Zhang's troops and horses also captured a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses."

"Shhh Hearing this, the ministers and doctors above the court couldn't help but be dumbfounded, gasped, and were shocked.

3,000 iron cavalry defeated more than 10,000 people? Such a record is indeed very brilliant. You must know that in the west, there is already a saying - one Wu enemy five Rong!

What is the concept? is a soldier of Wu, who can kill at least five Xirong before he can be killed.

This is not only a gap in military quality, but also a gap in weapons and equipment. However, this is not the most frightening for the ministers.

The most shocking thing for them was that Gongzizhang didn't leave a single living mouth...... Kill the prisoners! That's not a good thing!

"The King." Kong Qiu hurriedly came out and said: "My Wu country has always had a tradition of treating prisoners preferentially. Zhang Gongzi has killed too much, I'm afraid it's not a good omen! ”

"Please admonish the king!" Who is Childe Zhang? That is Qingji's ninth son, the second son born to Queen Ji Qi, who has been favored by Qingji since he was a child.

Therefore, Kong Qiu didn't dare to let Qingji surrender to Gongzizhang, but just wanted to admonish him. If this is changed to an ordinary general, even if it is Sun Wu and Wu Zixu, who have made countless contributions to Wu Guoguo, Kong Qiu and others may have to let Qingji be punished.

"One time, another time." Qingji waved his hand and said: "The widow has not stipulated that prisoners shall not be killed, and prisoners must be treated preferentially." ”

"After all, it's a matter of urgency. Gongzizhang did this, but also to deter the various departments of Qiangrong, the merit outweighed the fault, how could the widow discipline him? ”
