Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 17

Qing Ji was able to lead the army into the capital city of Wu, apart from using his life and anticipating the enemy's opportunities, he could not do without the help of two people.

One is Ji Zha.

The second is Sun Ping!
Ji Zha was used as a bait by Qingji to attract the main force of Helu's army, so that Qingji's army could go down from where the defenders of Wudu City were weak, and he made the greatest contribution.

Sun Ping took the initiative to surrender and opened the city gate to welcome the Qingji army to enter!

However, whether it is Ji Zha or Sun Ping, Qing Ji, who is suspicious by nature, can't believe it.

Qingji made two preparations, so that when Sun Ping opened the city gate to welcome the army to enter the city, Qingji could also lead his troops to drive straight in from the west of Wudu City and conquer the entire Wudu City in one fell swoop.

It's all done in one battle!
The only fly in the ointment is that He Lu escaped.

However, it's not a big problem to run away with a Helu!

After conquering Wudu, Qingji has become a veritable king of Wu, and Helu, who has been reduced to a bereaved dog, is like a grasshopper after autumn, and he can't live for a few days.

"Why is Sun Ping?"

Hearing this, all the ministers under His Majesty's platform couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing how to answer Qing Ji.

Could it be that Sun Ping asked for leave?
Qingji was very puzzled.

At this time, the senior doctor was sent out again and said: "Your Majesty, Sun Ping has left with his seal, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Go away with a seal?"

This made Qingji's face darken, and he was very unhappy.

Sun Ping really didn't give face!

At this time, he actually hangs up and leaves, playing missing!

Isn't this slapping Qingji in the face?

"Exactly. Your Majesty, Sun Ping's servants only handed over a letter written by him, Your Majesty, please take a look!"

After saying that, Beli took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch who came forward.

Qing Ji took the bamboo slips and looked at them, and couldn't help frowning!
This letter can be described as Sun Ping's resignation letter.

Unlike "the world is so big, I want to get out and about" nonsense!

Sun Ping's personal letter is very concise——

The son is on the top, by kowtow to worship.By virtue of being a native of Qi, he entered Wu because of avoiding civil strife. I hope that after this remaining life, I will not be an official!
Now Wu is in turmoil, and Liao, Guang, and the son of the king have passed, and those who are ministers have turned their backs on Wang Guang, and dare not follow the work of the son and the dog.

By closing the Chengguan, I only hope that the Wu State will stop fighting as soon as possible, so that the Wu people will not commit suicide due to internal strife, and their lives will be ruined!
I hope you will understand me, don't read it.

Grassman Sun Ping, come on!
After reading Sun Ping's handwritten letter, Qingji's face flickered, making it hard to figure out.

He could roughly guess what Sun Bing meant.

Most likely, Sun Ping was tired of the endless slaughter and civil strife, and was exhausted, so he retired with his family!

It's just that I don't know where Sun Bing went to live in seclusion?

Qingji put the bamboo slips on the table beside him calmly, and then said slowly: "Second and third sons, Ji Guang, the traitor, is now fleeing to the south, and he fears that he will occupy Wuyuan, Xing, and Yu'er with his remnants to resist the king's division. , Crack the earth and build a country by yourself.”

"According to the views of the second and third sons, what should the widow do?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials bowed their heads in deep thought, pondering over their strategies.

General Meng Ben stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, you should eliminate all evils! I please lead the army to march south, kill Ji Guang, and completely eliminate future troubles!"

"What General Meng said is absolutely true! Your Majesty, raise up your army and kill Ji Guang to avoid future troubles!"

"As the saying goes, there are no two suns in the sky, no two lords in the land, and no two lords in the country! How can your majesty tolerate Ji Guang calling himself a widow in the south?"

Meng Ben, Heifu and other generals stood up one after another and asked for a southern expedition to wipe out Ji Guang's rebellious army in one fell swoop.

But how can things be so simple?
This is just wishful thinking of the generals!
Therefore, Qingji was noncommittal.

When the senior doctor was left, he directly came out and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think so, the army came from the defense of the country, and the boats and horses were exhausted all the way. After several fights, the soldiers were exhausted, and the chariots and horses were sluggish!"

"If we continue to pursue the rebel army all the way, I'm afraid that Ji Guang will wait for his work with ease and give the master Wang a head-on blow. At that time, the king will be defeated?"

What Li said was not unreasonable.

This is exactly where Qing Ji worries!
As the commander-in-chief of the army, Qingji was very clear about the situation of his soldiers.

They are exhausted, but they can still fight, and they are already at the end of their strength!

If you don't take a little rest, why fight again?
Moreover, Qingji has just returned from the king, and the people's hearts are still uncertain, and the affairs are complicated.

How did he get out and conquer Helu himself?

If it were an ordinary person to conquer Helu, Qingji would not be at ease.

Gein and their enemies are He Lu and Wu Zixu!

In the whole world, there are not many people who can surpass these two in terms of marching and fighting.

"What the doctor said is great!"

Meng Ben snorted and said, "Ji Guang is already a bereaved dog right now, why should he be afraid? If you don't take advantage of Ji Guang's unstable foothold in the south at this time, take advantage of the situation and exterminate him."

"Is it too late for us to regret it if we wait for him to really occupy the cities in the south and unite with Yue to attack Wu?"

"This……"

Be left speechless.

Meng Ben's words are rough and reasonable!
If He Lu really gained a foothold in the south, in order to fight against the Qingji's Wu State, he would definitely form an alliance with the Yue State and fight against each other.

At that time, He Lu will be even more difficult to deal with, at least he will be a tough one!

"Ji Guang still has a few thousand remnants, so it's really not to be underestimated."

"However, as Doctor Li said, Master Wang is exhausted and cannot fight for a long time, and Ji Guang's back is getting more and more barbaric, and there are mountains and rivers blocking him, so I'm afraid it won't be a short-term achievement to put down the rebellion!"

Qingji expressed his most intuitive judgment.

He knew that it would take him a long time to wipe out Helu's rebels!
The southern part of the state of Wu is full of lofty mountains and sparsely populated, and many places are full of miasma, which is not suitable for farming.

That is barren land!

It is difficult for Helu to develop.

Moreover, to the south of Helu is the State of Yue. The people of Yue are ambitious and send troops to harass the border of Wu State all the year round, burning, killing and looting.

This time, if He Lu colluded with the Yue people in order to survive, it would be impossible for Yue Wang Yunchang to refuse.

Don't doubt whether He Lu can do such a thing!

Once the Yue people get involved, the situation in Wu will become more complicated.

Qingji is easy to overturn!
At that time, Qingji didn't want to spend too much of his troops in the south and get bogged down in the quagmire of war.

Therefore, Qingji must not act rashly until he is strong enough to wipe out the Yue army and Helu's rebellious army together!
"Meng Ben!"

"Chen is here!"

"I ordered you to lead three thousand troops to the south immediately. You must first disrupt the army and rush to Wuyuan City from the official road. After you take office, you should build the city defense and strengthen the fortifications. To the enemy, you need to fortify the walls and clear the fields, defend and not attack!"

"promise!"

Meng Ben was puzzled, but still accepted Qingji's order.

That's three thousand soldiers and horses!
You know, the Helu army who escaped from the capital city of Wu and rushed to the south of the state of Wu may not have more than two or three thousand soldiers.

Why is Meng Ben afraid of a battle?
But Qingji didn't dare to take risks, because the opponents were Helu and Wu Zixu, even if Meng Ben had the advantage in military strength, how could he defeat them?

Qingji's idea was to keep Helu firmly in the south, so that he could not further invade the central part of Wu.
