The Korean monarchs and ministers knew that staying on the plains would not be able to stop the armies of Wei and Zhao at all, so on the one hand, they arranged a defensive line in Korea to block Wei and Zhao, and on the other hand, they simply brought a large number of Koreans to Zhengdi.

When Han Hou learned that the Qi people and the Qin people were attacking the land of Huaisi in the Wei State, he was first angry, and then said with a bitter face: "The Qi State must want to consume the strength of the Three Jins.

But the good thing is that Qi has indeed offended Wei, at least Qi will still stand on the side of South Korea, and the danger of losing the country can be solved.

Now it is necessary to hold on, for a year, two years, or even longer, until the arrival of the Qi army. ”

Han Hou hated Qi Guo very much in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, Wei was unwilling to withdraw his troops, and it was impossible for Korea to cut the soil, so the two sides could only fight with all their might.

Fortunately, after obtaining Zhengdi, South Korea's strategic depth has been greatly improved, otherwise I am really worried that it will not be able to survive the day when Qi Guo comes.

Above Huaisi, the nobles of Qi harvested the cities of Wei State, "If you can take it, you will take it, and if you can't take it, cut off his way out of the city, trap them in the city, and tell the generals in the city that those who surrender first will not be killed." ”

The most taboo in siege warfare is to storm up, which will make the defenders of the city unite as one, the so-called long-term defense will be lost, why does the defending side always go out of the city to attack the camp?

Because the biggest problem faced by the defenders of the city is the fluctuation of people's hearts in the city, the so-called strong fortress is always breached from the inside, once the city is besieged for a long time, there will be people in the city who want to sacrifice the city for wealth.

The Qi army had ruled the land of Huaisi for many years, and they were very familiar with the trend of the mountains and rivers here.

On the contrary, because of logistical problems and the fact that the number of Wei Wushu here is not large, they were defeated by the Qi people.

Qi won victory on the Huaisi battlefield, and a large part of the land that had been lost was returned to the hands of Qi, and the nobles of Qi cheered, "Ke Fu Huan Gong hegemony." ”

When the spring breeze was proud, he didn't know that Zhao, Wei, and Han all hated him so much, Qin Guo silently followed Qi Guo's side, and then attracted his anger to Qi Guo's body.

……

The war between the states of Chu and Wu lasted intermittently for hundreds of years, and both sides had almost destroyed each other, but in the end they continued to confront each other because the situation in the world had not yet reached that point.

But the feud between the two sides is really appropriate, in the struggle between the two sides, the most glorious Wu is naturally the time of Qingji Sun Wu, and the later Wu State has not produced an outstanding monarch, so it has weakened step by step.

Wei's defeat of Chu changed the balance of power between Wei and Chu, Qin and Chu, but did not change the balance of power between Chu and Wu.

Wu still has to be pressed and beaten by Chu State, in the past, Mo Zhai prevented Wu from attacking Chu State, it was because Mo Zhai made Wu State successfully realize that attacking Chu State was not beneficial to Wu State, and Wu State could not capture the city of Chu State, and would only let Wu people die in vain.

By now, the Mo family has completely become the world's number one scholar, don't look at the leaders of the family to change the law among the nations, calling for wind and rain, and being extremely majestic.

In fact, the Mo family did not let it go too far, not only among the countries with huge power, but also among the people at the bottom of the population, those who were so poor that they had no place to stand, joined the Mo Society one after another.

Although the Mo family is divided, the Mo family giants who are separated are still very authoritative, and they raise their arms and shout, and everyone obeys.

Since the outbreak of the war between Wu and Chu, the Mo giants of the Song State, who had been active in Wangji, Luogong and Song Kingdoms, led their Mo followers to Wu to help defend the city.

Gusu City.

It is still dotted with small lakes, verdant and far away, and large tracts of land suitable for cultivation are densely scattered around the capital, and the foundation of the king of Wu is what the Chu State has always wanted to occupy.

It is still a prosperous place, and the war between Wu and Chu has not yet burned here, but columns of armored soldiers are walking on the avenue, and large ships and vehicles full of grain are constantly coming out of the city.

The slaughter in the air proves that the prosperity on the surface is only the snow covering the crater, which will be destroyed at any time.

In the palace of Wu State, the faces of the monarchs and ministers of Wu State were full of gloomy color, and Wu State suffered an unprecedented catastrophe, and the society of Wu State would collapse at any time.

The Mo family was indeed an expert in defending the city, and all kinds of equipment and tactics greatly slowed down the pace of the Chu State, but this could not prevent the Wu State from retreating.

The gap in national strength is decisive, and in this world, not only the Mo family is playing tricks, but the Gongyi clan also has a heritage among the nations.

The tools for defending the city are being updated, and the tools for attacking the city are also constantly being updated.

Wu Hou is a middle-aged man, his face does not have the heroic spirit of the ancestor Qingji, the black eye sockets are heavily hung on the face, and the whole person's improvement looks very poor.

Seeing that the ministers in the hall did not speak, Wu Hou asked with a trembling face: "Zhongqing, if you are alone and beg to the Marquis of Chu."

No, King of Chu, Lone recognized the title of King of Chu, removed the title of princes, and served the State of Chu in the name of Jun Wu.

Just as Wei Jun served the Jin State and Wei State, and Song Jun served the Chu State, did the Chu State let Wu State go? ”

Dead Society, it's easy to say, but how difficult is it to do? The so-called eternal hardship is the only death, especially these nobles who have enjoyed hundreds of years of wealth and glory, there are really not many hard bones.

Between the ministers of the Wu State, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how many people have secretly communicated with the State of Chu.

Wu Yuan, who had not been bribed by the Chu State, immediately came out and said angrily: "Monarch, please put away this idea, there is a feud between Wu and Chu, and it is impossible for the Chu State to let you go if anyone is spared."

Besides, have you forgotten that you will be a good person? ”

Hui Jijun.

After the destruction of the Yue Kingdom in the past year, the Wu State demoted the Yue State monarch to the Huiji Jun, and then within a few generations, the Huiji Jun directly broke off the inheritance.

Wu Xiang's words are to tell Wu Hou that once you surrender now, the state of Chu will definitely take revenge after that.

Even if you are given a city now, but after you are directly abolished as a concubine, or even directly killed, will anyone still cry for you?

When Wu Hou heard this, the pale color on his face became even more serious, "Surrender is death, and not surrendering is death, so what now?"

Is it just waiting for the army of Chu to break through Gusu City, and the more than 700 years of social security of Wu State will be destroyed in one fell swoop?

The current Wu Kingdom has no Luo Kingdom to save!

Wu Xiang, you are also the prince of Wu, the descendant of the ancestors, and you will give up the position of the monarch of Wu to you.

Lone went to take refuge in the country of Luo, Wu State is the prince surnamed Ji, with the incense between the country of Luo and the country of Wu, the country of Luo will definitely accept Lone.

In the past, King Wu gave up the throne to King Su, although King Su was not ordained, but King Su finally created the Mandate of Heaven for 800 years and even a thousand years of Mandate of Heaven in Bangzhou.

Although you and I are far inferior to the two kings, your ability is also better than that of Lone, and if Lone gives up the throne to you, maybe Wu can still have a glimmer of life.

What do you think is good? If you are willing, you will immediately arrange for the palace people to organize the enthronement ceremony, and you can get out of the country of Luo as soon as possible. ”

The ministers of Wu Guo were directly stupid by Wu Hou's operation, handed over the country to the princes, and took refuge in the Luo Kingdom to save their lives, what else could they do?

But when you think about it, it's very operational.

In the past, many of the princes of the small sect who were separated from the country of Luo, after the death of the country, went to the country of Luo for refuge and became the princes of the country of Luo.

Thinking about it this way, the ministers of Wu Guo looked at Wu Hou in an instant, and there was something wrong with their eyes, it is normal for us as ministers to think about surrendering, and you are the monarch of the country who has abandoned Sheji.

The ministers are about to surrender, and the king wants to escape?

Wu Xiang was directly frightened stupid by Wu Hou's words, even if Wu Hou really wanted to run, he couldn't believe it, who knows if he was willing to say two words, whether he would directly hack him to death with five hundred knives and axes on top of the main hall.

Moreover, the position of the monarch of this Wu State is a talisman, whoever does it will die, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Monarch, this must not be, the virtuous person on the throne lives in it, how can the minister live in the throne?" ”

Who knew that Wu Hou actually stepped down directly from the top position, and said in a resolute tone: "Wu Xiang, I see that you are a virtuous person, and you must not shirk this throne." ”

At the moment when the country's social system is about to collapse, such a farce was staged in the Wu Palace, which is really ridiculous.

Wu Xiang saw Wu Hou's gloomy face, and he thought in his heart that this was Wu Hou's trick, between life and death, he suddenly became wise in a hurry, and said loudly: "Monarch, the minister has a way to save Wu Guosheji!" ”

His voice was extremely high, instantly suppressing the noise in the entire hall, everyone stared at him directly, and Wu Hou showed an excited look on his face, and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you say quickly?" ”

Wu Xiang hurriedly said the method he had just thought of: "The Qi people were able to defeat the Wei people in the land of Huaisi because it was originally the land of the Qi State, so the Qi State is familiar with the geography of the mountains and rivers there.

However, the land in the south of Wei used to be the land of Wu, and the Qi people were not familiar with it, but there was a map of Kanyu in Wu, and if a messenger was sent to Qi and presented a map, Qi would be able to go down to Huaisi in a battle.

The State of Chu will definitely not sit idly by and watch the State of Qi swallow the complete land of Huaisi, and there will be a battle between Qi and Chu.

Although South Korea also borrowed troops from Qi State, it doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to serve Qi State as the master and surrender yourself to the king, Qi State will definitely send troops for Wu State first, and South Korea can only go back in the row. ”

Wu Xiang's meaning is very simple, the Qi State has a strong army, and there are Qin people to help by the side.

As long as the monarch sells the country more ruthlessly than Han Hou, Qi Guo will definitely help us first, anyway, you are ready to abandon the throne directly, then it is better to sell the country directly to Qi Guo, and you can exchange it for a good price.

Reasoned and well-founded, Wu Hou was instantly convinced, and immediately took Wu Xiang's hand and said: "Prime Minister, you are really the pillar of Wu State, please send someone who is good at words to go to Qi State for Gu to pay homage to the Duke of Qi, and Wu State is willing to join the whole country." ”

The ministers above the main hall were dumbfounded, whether it was the confiscation of Chu State's money, they were all speechless by this monarch and minister.

————

In the autumn of the fifteenth year, Master Chu attacked me.

Gong cowardly war, said: Descend to Chu, can you get the throne?

Relatively said: Wu Chu's feud, descend to it, such as the story of Huijijun.

The public sighs that virtue is shallow, and wants to push the phase, but rejects it.

The public will let it again, refuse it again, offer advice to the public, and the public will stop. ——"The Chronicle of the State of Wu"
