Xianyang Palace.

In the huge Zide Palace, Wu Wang Qingji was playing a game of Go with Fan Li, the imperial historian.

Qingji's chess skills are exquisite, but he has played Go with Fan Li for many years, and he has not won a single game.

Playing chess, Qingji asked himself if he was an invincible opponent all over the world.

After all, even Fan Li is willing to bow to the wind, like Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Bo Biao, these ministers, will deliberately let him when playing chess with Qingji.

The tasteless Qingji often looks for Fan Li to play, which is a typical "looking for abuse"!

"The king, in the battle of Hangu Pass, more than 600,000 troops of the Nine Kingdoms attacked Kuihan, isn't the king worried about the war on the front line?"

Fan Li asked with interest.

"They can't get in, so why worry about the widows?"

Qingji just laughed it off.

Hangu Pass guards the throat of Cuihan, Hengling in the west, Jiejian in the east, Qinling in the south, the Yellow River in the north, the terrain is dangerous, the road is narrow, known as "the car is not on the track, the horse is not the same as the bridle".

This is a real Xiongguan, a place where no one can open.

In addition, the 150,000 troops led by Sun Wu, Tian Sui Tho and others were stationed at Hangu Pass, and even the alliance of millions of princes may not be able to break through the pass.

"The king, the battle of Hangu Pass, I wonder if the king has considered the matter of going out of the customs to dominate the world?"

"Why does the young man teach the widow?"

Obviously, Qing Ji did have this kind of thought in his heart.

Ruling China in his lifetime and becoming the real first emperor can be described as Qingji's lifelong wish.

Fan Li thought for a while, and then said: "Great King, the minister thinks that my Great Wu can continue to pursue the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, far away to Qi Yan, and close to Sanjin. ”

"Close attack, gain an inch, then the king's inch; The ruler is also the ruler of the king. ”

"If the time is ripe, the king can officially send troops out of the customs and destroy the three Jin in one fell swoop, if the three Jin of Han, Zhao and Wei are destroyed, the remaining vassal states will only survive, and there will be no strength to resist my army of the tiger and wolf of the Great Wu."

"Good."

Qingji's thoughts coincide with Fan Li.

As early as the beginning of his ascension, Qingji had already set the national policy of long-distance friendship and close attack.

What is a long-range close attack?

A long-range attack is a strategy under strictly specific conditions.

At present, Wu has a strong national strength, and in terms of population, territory, military strength, economy, culture and other aspects, it almost presents a crushing advantage over the nine countries of Kwantung.

The only deficiency is that the territory of Wu is vast, there are many tribes, and the military mobilization ability is slightly inferior.

Qingji dropped a sunspot on the chessboard, narrowed his eyes, and said meaningfully: "Young uncle, in your opinion, should the widows fight at every turn, in order to eliminate the invading armies of the nations outside the Hangu Pass?" ”

"But no."

Fan Li gave an ambiguous answer and said, "King, if you let go of the princes' alliance this time, I am afraid that there will be endless harm." If there is a big war at every turn, the minister is afraid that our Great Wu army will be too badly damaged, and he will have to go through a period of several years of recuperation before he can go out of the customs again. ”

"The outnumbered man seeks to annihilate the enemy's army, and does not care about the gains and losses of one city or one place."

Qing Ji said with a surging smile: "If you lose your land, you will lose your land." If people lose land, people and land will survive. ”

"Young uncle, as you said, this time the alliance of princes is just going through the motions outside Hangu Pass, and there is not much loss, what does Wu gain from?"

"Nothing." “……”

Fan Li was silent.

As a monarch who has been with Qingji for more than 20 years, why doesn't Fan Li understand Qingji's thoughts?

Qingji wants to fight a large-scale war of annihilation.

What is a war of annihilation?

This is a kind of combat in which all or most of the enemy's living forces are killed, wounded, and captured!

Through annihilation warfare, we can effectively destroy the enemy's living forces and change the balance of forces between the enemy and us.

Obtain a large amount of human and material resources from the enemy country to replenish themselves, deal a heavy blow to the morale of the enemy country, and boost their own fighting spirit.

For an army that is strategically inferior, fighting a war of annihilation in a campaign can quickly and effectively weaken the enemy's strategic superiority and initiative and change its own strategic passive position......

"Great King, if you want to annihilate the army of the Nine Kingdoms, instead of defeating it, I'm afraid that my Great Wu will have to pour the army of the country to win."

"Wait."

Qing Ji said earnestly: "There are more than 600,000 horses in the division of the Nine Kingdoms, which is too much. In the fierce battle of Hangu Pass, the coalition forces could not break through the pass, and their morale was bound to be low, and countries such as Qi, Yan, and Zhongshan would definitely retreat when they saw that it was unprofitable. ”

"At that time, it will be a favorable time for my Great Wu Xiongshi to go out of the customs and fight."

……

The time entered the twenty-ninth year of King Qingji of Wu, that is, 485 BC, at the end of the sixth month of the lunar calendar.

Just as Qingji expected, the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan, and Zhongshan, which were too far away from Hangu Pass, and even the Song State and Wei State, saw that the coalition army was losing troops and was still unable to break through Hangu Pass, so they all withdrew their troops one after another.

The main generals of Han, Zhao, and Wei were helpless, for fear that the Wu army in Hangu Pass would come out and make dumplings, so they retreated.

A huge war seems to be coming to an end.

Qing Ji saw the opportunity and gave Sun Wu the order to attack.

At the same time, Qing Ji personally led the 100,000 Wu army soldiers who had been prepared long ago, and followed the mighty Hangu Pass.

Since Zhao was located in the north, it did not stay with the armies of Han and Wei.

And this time, the direction of the main attack of the Wu army was the land west of the river, as well as the vast area of Luoyi and Yinluo River Valley.

Wu was recovering the lost territory, but Han and Wei could not tolerate the Wu army snatching their own cities and lands, so the Han and Wei allied forces with 240,000 horses and horses and launched a confrontation with the 150,000 Wu army in Yinque.

Yin Que is located in the south of Luoyang, which is the only way for Wu to go out of the Central Plains in the east.

Yin water flows north into Yin Que, in the past Yu channeled this mountain to pass water.

The two mountains are opposite, looking like a gate from a distance, Yin water flows through the middle, flowing to the north, so it is called "Yin Que".

The commander of the Han army will be the eldest son of the monarch Han Buxin, Prince Geng, and the commander of the Wei army will be Wei Man.

At this time, on Yin Que's side, in the Chinese army tent of the Wei army, Wei Man found Prince Geng and a group of generals of the Han and Wei coalition forces to discuss major matters.

"Prince, since the Battle of Anyi the year before last, our Wei army was taken away from the land west of Hexi by the Wu people, and the country was broken, so we had to move the capital to Daliang."

"Right now, in Yin Que, the Wei army is even more lonely, not as good as your Han army."

Wei Man sighed and said: "Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Wu army has not yet been fully assembled, we are outnumbered, and the Wei and Han coalition forces should attack quickly. If you can defeat the Wu army and capture Wu Wang Qingji, it will be the best. ”

"If you take the initiative, please take the lead."

As soon as he heard this, Prince Geng's face suddenly showed displeasure and said, "The general's words are wrong. ”

"Although your Wei army has few soldiers, it also has 80,000 people. And the Wei army is not only strong in crossbows, but also in its strong armor, American shields, helmets, and iron curtains, all of which are also excellent, so I hope that Wei Jun will take the lead for the forwards......
