Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 159
"Wu Qing's words are reasonable, and you must be on guard against others."

Qing Ji slightly nodded and said: "Whether it is possible for the Yue people to dare to murder the widow, the widow does not know. However, the widow must be careful!"

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Wu Zixu, Sun Wu and Fan Li who were present immediately complimented each other.

None of them dared to decide whether King Yunchang of Yue would dare to murder Qingji in spite of the displeasure of the world.

However, it is essential to be fully prepared and plan ahead.

Wu Zixu groaned, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan for the Yuerjiang meeting, and I hope Your Majesty will adopt it."

"please say."

"Wu and Yue have feuds, but the two countries are adjacent to each other, separated by a strip of water, and have similar humanities. My country Wu wants Chu to fight for hegemony, and the king wants to unite nine princes. It is imperative to conquer the world and unite Yue!"

Wu Zixu said solemnly: "Thus, your majesty might as well take advantage of this Yu'erjiang meeting to secretly mobilize an army to go south, attack and kill Yunchang, destroy Kuaiji in one fell swoop, and annex Yuedi, so as to create a complete confrontation between Wu and Chu! "

Hearing this, Qingji thought to himself, then shook his head and said, "Wu Qing, your strategy is very inappropriate."

"If you invite Yunchang to an appointment, how can you murder him? Not to mention that Yunchang died in Yu'er River, the Vietnamese army will become a mourning army, and the whole country of Yue will also be united in the same hatred and stubbornly block the Wu army who conquered Yue."

"Furthermore, at this time, the state of Wu can't annex Yue territory in one go. What should we do if the soldiers of my great Wu and the whole country are deeply involved in Yue territory?"

"Now, what the widows need is a peaceful Wu country, not a militaristic and riddled Wu country."

Qingji's mind is very clear.

Not to mention that he disdained to use such a despicable method to murder his father-in-law, Yunchang.

But as far as the current national strength of the Wu State is concerned, it is not enough to annex the Yue State in one go!

However, there are many mountains, rivers and swamps in the Yue land, with lofty mountains and miasma everywhere, and the people of Yue are rebellious and rebellious. How can the State of Wu conquer the State of Yue easily?

It is still too early for the state of Wu to destroy Yue!

Rushing to launch the war to destroy Vietnam can only make Wu country fall into the quagmire of the war, unable to extricate itself, and there is a very high risk of being wiped out by Chu country.

……

"Wannian, King! Wannian, King!"

In a wilderness in Wuyuan, Qingji was standing on a military chariot, inspecting the three armies.

As the frontier army of the Wu State, the soldiers of the Wu army in Wuyuan are quite powerful, and they are good at fighting in the mountains. They are a rare elite.

Qingji looked around and saw banners covering the sky, the soldiers were wearing crimson robes, helmets and armor, and holding sharp long spears in their hands, reaching to the sky.

They stared ahead, their faces were serious, but there was also an awe-inspiring aura!

Obviously, this is a division of hundreds of battles who has been tempered by countless golden weapons and iron horses.

In this way, Qingji rode his military chariot, passed through the middle of the phalanx, and arrived at the point where he would stand off the stage.

Surrounded by a group of generals, Qingji slowly climbed onto the general's platform.

"Yanwu, start!"

As Sun Wu, who was in charge of the martial arts performance, gave an order, he waved the command flag in his hand and pointed the audience off the stage, and the soldiers who were full of spirit immediately blew huge horns one after another.

The melodious and whimpering sound of the horn instantly brightened the entire dome.

What followed was the sound of war drums with a chilling air, and the brawny shirtless man held drumsticks and beat the cowhide drum vigorously.

I saw that the phalanx under the stage changed instantly, and the soldiers on both sides stepped back, revealing a large open space.

"Boom!"

The chariot galloped by.

Side after side of targets were erected in front of them.

The soldier on the chariot took out an arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, aimed at the opposite target, and with a "swish", the arrow flew out from the string.

"Snatch it!"

Basically, every time the soldiers shoot an arrow, they can hit the target.

One person shoots three arrows, and the chariot gallops back and forth.

This made Qingji realize that the soldiers of the Wuyuan frontier army are all very good at archery!

After all, mobile archery is far more difficult than fixed-point archery.

The next martial arts performance was to demonstrate the soldiers' ability to fight with bare hands.

A total of two hundred soldiers fought one-on-one. Whether it was fists, kicks or wrestling, the loser was the one who fell to the ground.

"drink!"

A big-armed Wu soldier yelled violently, and took the lead in punching his opponent.

The opponent took a vigorous step, dodged the oncoming punch, and then kicked him to the ground again, but was also avoided.

The two immediately wrestled together, rolling on the ground while sweating profusely...

After the individual soldiers fought with bare hands, it was another drill for the formation.

Thousands of soldiers present can follow orders and prohibit them. With the captain waving the command flag, they can all retreat and advance in an orderly manner, or perform various uniform movements such as chopping, chopping and stabbing. .

Seeing the martial arts performance that overwhelmed the soldiers under the stage, Qingji couldn't help nodding his head slightly, feeling very satisfied in his heart.

A glimpse of the leopard in the tube, a glimpse!
The soldiers of the frontier army in Wuyuan can practice to this extent, which shows that the daily training is rigorous and the combat power is sturdy.

"Changqing, if I remember correctly, there should be nearly [-] frontier troops in Wuyuan and Yu'er?"

Qingji immediately set his sights on Sun Wu, the official censor.

Sun Wu heard the words, pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Exactly. Wuyuan and Yu'er are the southern gates of our Wu Kingdom, and they are always guarding against the invasion of the Yue people from the north. That's why there are three or four thousand troops stationed all year round!"

"Too much."

Qing Ji shook his head and said, "The present is different from the past, how can the Yue people have the guts to violate our border again?"

"This... Your Majesty, you must be on guard."

Qingji smiled meaningfully.

Immediately, Sun Wu understood the deep meaning of it!

Sun Wu and others were very puzzled before, why did Qingji want to have a meeting with Yue Wang Yunchang in Yuerjiang?
Now it seems that the purpose of celebrating Ji is roughly the same.

The state of Wu is implementing reforms and needs a relatively stable external environment. It is necessary to make peace with the neighboring Chu and Yue countries without aggression against each other.

And Qingji and Yun often meet in Yu'erjiang, obviously they have deeper intentions!
A frontier army of three to four thousand men is enough to consolidate the frontier fortress in the south of Wu.

However, a frontier army of three to four thousand people is equivalent to the young and strong labor force of three to four thousand people in the state of Wu!
If they stay here dryly, not to mention spending a lot of money and food, they will inadvertently reduce Wu's many important labor forces.

Wu Guo wants to develop the people's livelihood, enrich the country and strengthen the people, and it can't be done without human resources.

Therefore, Sun Wu could figure out that most of Qingji wanted to abolish part of the frontier army. While strengthening the frontier defense enough, it would not cause Wu to lose too many young and strong labor force for no reason.

Your Majesty, what a painstaking effort!

Sun Wu secretly praised it in his heart.
