"If King Wu is willing to withdraw his troops, he will not destroy my Qi country. The country of Qi should offer the god hill, the city of Pu, the horn of the sheep and other places of the old guard, please Wu Wang smiled. Hearing this, Qingji narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Kan Zhi, the good intentions of the King of Qi are understood by the widows." However, please go back and convey a word to the king of Qi and his ministers on behalf of the widow. ”

"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?"

"Since King Zhou Ping moved eastward, the princes have fought for hegemony, a small battle in three days, a big battle in five days, and frequent killings, which have never stopped. In the past two or three hundred years, there have been many people who have died due to war, and there are even more people who have suffered because of war. Qingji waved his hand and said loudly: "What the widow wants to do is to completely end this troubled world, so that the four seas will become one family, regardless of each other, and from now on, on the land of my Chinese Kyushu, the people will no longer suffer from war!" ”

"This is a great cause that has never been done before, if the kings of the nations can descend with courtesy, the widow will definitely not be treated badly."

"This ......" Kan Zhi was dumbfounded, not knowing how to persuade Qingji to withdraw from the army. Qingji's mind has been decided, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of Wu have been deployed on the front line from Chaoge to the Yellow River, like an arrow on the string, and they have to be sent.

"Chu Shizi Fei and Ji Sun Fei, please also go back and tell the King of Song and the King of Lu that if they are willing to take the initiative to surrender so that the people of the country will not suffer from the war of swords and soldiers, the widow can canonize them as marquis, give them a thousand households of food, and hereditary replacement."

"To ensure that they and their descendants can be in the same family as the country, and their glory and wealth will be inexhaustible for a lifetime." Hearing this, Master Chu Zifei and Ji Sunfei glanced at each other, bowed to Qingji busily, and said in unison: "My minister must convey it." ”

"Good. If there is nothing else, you will retreat first, and the widow will discuss the military aircraft with the second and third sons of my Wu State. ”

"Farewell." After Kan Zhi, Ji Sunfei, and Chu Shizifei left the hall, Qingji looked around and looked at the ministers of Wu who were present.

"Second and third sons, in your opinion, will the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu, and Song descend with Lily?" Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but look at each other and fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a moment, Uncle Cheng stepped forward and replied: "The king, in the opinion of the minister, it is not impossible. ”

"After the Battle of Huanshui last year, the elite divisions of Qi, Lu and Song were all lost, and there were not many soldiers to fight in the country. Even if they raise the country's troops, it will only increase casualties and fight the trapped beasts. ”

"There is no shortage of men of insight among the nations. The king, in this case, can send envoys to the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu, and Song to coerce and induce them to surrender with courtesy. ”

"No!" Great Sima Wu Zixu came out and retorted: "Great King, even if there is a possibility that the Three Kingdoms of the East will descend with Lilly, the Great King must not pin all his hopes on others. ”

"The battle of the trapped beasts is still terrifying. If the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu, and Song deliberately delayed the arrival of reinforcements from the north, or brought the war to a stalemate, it was possible that our Wu army would pay an even greater price in casualties. ”

"In view of this, the minister thought that he should send troops immediately and not give the three countries any chance to mediate." Hearing this, before Qingji could speak, Bo Yu said angrily: "Da Sima's words are wrong. As the saying goes, rabbits bite when they are in a hurry! ”

"Forcing the three eastern countries in a hurry, they reported to the regiment for warmth, resisted stubbornly together, and resolutely resisted the attack of our Wu army, wouldn't it make the casualties of the soldiers aggravated?"

"Wouldn't it be beautiful if it could be like the war to destroy Korea, and the soldiers who surrendered almost without a fight?"

"Humph!" Wu Zixu snorted coldly and said, "Uncle, you just think things are too beautiful." As everyone knows, we must not underestimate human nature, underestimate the enemy's carelessness, and sooner or later we will suffer a big loss! ”

"Soldier, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"

"Enough!" Looking at Wu Zixu and Bo Yu, who were arguing, Qingji frowned and interrupted. Wu Zixu and Bo Yan retreated, not daring to quarrel again.

Qing Jixuan immediately set his eyes on Sun Wu's body and asked, "Sun Wu, what are your countermeasures?" ”

"The king, in the opinion of the ministers, you might as well persuade you to surrender and attack at the same time."

"Good." Sun Wu's thoughts coincided with Qingji. Blindly persuading Wu to surrender may eventually make Wu Guo fall behind.

Blindly attacking may also lead to stubborn resistance from the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu, and Song, and a battle of trapped beasts. In this case, the lesser of two evils, why not compromise?

"Fan Li."

"The minister is here!"

"You are responsible for selecting three scholars who can speak well and are bold and careful to persuade them to surrender to the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu, and Song."

"No!" Qingji looked around again and said, "Second and third sons, at the moment, there are 300,000 people in my Wu country, and it is enough to destroy the three eastern kingdoms." ”

"In the opinion of the second and third sons, which country should my Wu army destroy first?" It is not difficult for Wu to wipe out the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu, and Song in one go, but at the same time, the 300,000 troops in the three countries can be choked.

Therefore, it is necessary for Qingji to concentrate superior forces and destroy the three eastern kingdoms one by one.

"The king, the minister advocates destroying the Qi State first, and then forcing the Song and Lu countries." Sun Wu said earnestly: "Among the nations, the Qi State is relatively the strongest, if the Qi State is destroyed, the Song State and the Lu State with a wait-and-see attitude will be frightened, and then they will not dare to compete with our Wu army, maybe they will directly surrender with courtesy." ”

"Good." There is no doubt that among the three eastern kingdoms, the Qi country is the most difficult bone to gnaw. However, Kyungji is never afraid of challenges.

At a time when this kind of country is ruined and life and death is at stake, it is enough for the Qi State to come out with more than 100,000 horses to fight.

How can the Qi State, where the elite divisions are almost gone, fight with the wolf-like Wu army?

"Soldier."

"The minister is here!"

"You lead 100,000 cavalry as the front army, and tomorrow you will march out, and after crossing the river, you will go straight to the emperor's hill."

"No!" Wu Zixu immediately received the order.

"Sun Wu."

"The minister is here!"

"The widow will give you 20,000 iron cavalry and 50,000 foot soldiers, and tonight you will lead your troops to march and attack Taoqiu, where the enemy army is located, and destroy the 80,000 allied troops entrenched there."

"No!" For example, Sun Wu and Tian Sui Tho are all Qi people, and Qi is their home country. Now, Qingji let them lead the troops to destroy Qi, which is a more cruel thing.

How can they be embarrassed? Of course, with the king's order, presumably Sun Wu and Tian Sui Tho don't mind leading their troops to destroy Qi.

However, Qingji still chose to let Wu Zixu lead the front army to gallop first, as the vanguard general of Wu State's annihilation of Qi.

When Wu launched a war to destroy Qi, Lu and Song might not stand idly by. However, in the face of the strong Wu army, the two countries must not dare to act rashly.

The envoys sent by Qingji will also mediate to the greatest extent, causing Song Prince Luan and Lu Wangji to be indecided...... When the Wu army destroyed the Qi State, what was waiting for the Song and Lu countries was a mortal situation.
