Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 219
Yue State, Luyi.

Luyi is an inferior city, which was built in less than two years, and it is located in the south of Yu'er River.

Back then, King Qingji of Wu and King Yun of Yue often met in Yu'erjiang, and they agreed that the troops stationed on the border between the two countries should not exceed [-] troops within a radius of a hundred miles, and they would send officials to each other to supervise them.

But Yun Chang is obviously worried about Wu Guo.

Because if Wu Jun crosses the Yu'er River, the first to bear the brunt is Kuaiji, the capital of the Yue Kingdom!

Although the Yue people could rely on the mountains and rivers to block the invasion of the Wu army, sooner or later the Wu army would come to the city.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Yun Chang conscripted a lot of labor to build Luyi.

This low-level city became the first line of defense of the Yue Kingdom when it faced the Wu Kingdom!
At this moment, Luyi is extremely lively.

Nearly [-] frontier soldiers from the state of Wu crossed the Yu'er River and arrived at Luyi.

Naturally, such a big movement cannot be concealed from the defenders of the Yue Kingdom.

Therefore, the Yue army guarding Luyi quickly closed the city gate to prevent the Wu army from invading!

The Wu army salutes first and then soldiers. The captain first took a military chariot and came to the gate of Luyi and shouted loudly: "Where is the general guarding Luyi?"

"I am the guard of Luyi!"

On the top of the city, a general of the Yue Kingdom hurriedly poked his head out, and asked in puzzlement, "Why did your army invade the border of the Yue Kingdom? Are you afraid of triggering a war between the two countries?"

"A certain soldier came here this time to find the two missing soldiers!"

Captain Wu Jun said in a loud voice: "Yesterday, two soldiers of my Wu Army disappeared. Some people said that they were seen captured by your Yue soldiers and taken into Luyi. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"Never mind!"

Where does the Vietnamese army dare to provoke?
So the guard of Luyi quickly denied it.

"Hmph, it's not that a certain person can't trust you with one step, but that human life is at stake!"

Lieutenant Wu Jun raised his head and said: "If you want to win the trust of Yu, please open the city gate and let me wait in Luyi to search! If it is really not someone captured by your army, I will definitely apologize!"

"absurd!"

The guard of Luyi had a gloomy expression on his face, and said: "Luyi is an important military town of our country of Yue, how can you let me in and out? Please retreat quickly, the general, or if the battle starts, then you and I will both Unable to explain to their respective monarchs!"

Upon hearing this, Captain Wu Jun immediately "turned into anger from embarrassment" and said: "Since you dare not open the city gate and let me wait in Luyi to search, you must be guilty!"

"I'll give you half an hour, if you don't open the city gate, I will lead my army to break into the city!"

Hearing this, the guard of Luyi was startled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He is not a fool, how could he not understand the intention of Wu Jun under the city?

Asking to enter the city to search for the lost soldiers is just an excuse. I am afraid that the purpose of the Wu army is to attack Luyi in one go!
"kill--"

Half an hour later, the Colonel Wu Jun, who had already planned ahead, waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to attack Luyi.

"Fire arrows!"

"attack!"

The soldiers of the border army of Wu State immediately roared loudly like hungry wolves, and climbed up to the top of the city of Luyi on the ladder.

Before approaching the city wall and just entering the range of bows and arrows, the archers of Wu Jun's side all raised their bows and set up arrows, and several rounds of arrow rain were thrown up, covering their own soldiers to climb up to the top of the city.

"Pfft!"

"Uh ah ah ah!"

The soldiers of the Vietnamese army in Luyi obviously did not expect the Wu army to launch a sudden attack, so there was no time to prepare too many things that were quite lethal, such as arrow clusters, hot oil, pounding stones, and rolling logs.

As more and more soldiers of the Wu army climbed to the top of the city, the Vietnamese army gradually fell into a disadvantage.

However, the purpose of the Wu army is obviously not to capture a mere Luyi, so after paying the price of dozens of soldiers killed in battle, the Wu army immediately retreated, leaving only corpses and messes on the ground, as well as the Vietnamese army who survived the catastrophe. Soldiers.

……

When the news of the battle in Luyi came back to Wudu, Qingji was holding a great court meeting.

With a sound of "bang", Qingji on Majesty's platform jumped up, clutching the frontline battle report in his hand, and said angrily: "It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable!"

"The Yue people detained my soldiers of the Wu army for no reason, and started a war to kill my soldiers! Such contempt for the great Wu, I will never tolerate it!"

Qingji's attitude is very firm.

In fact, Qing Ji, who has been in the top position for a long time, has always been moody and angry.

He can always stabilize his mind and control his words and deeds, especially the expression management.

However, the celebration of Jiji this time was obviously a play on the occasion, a formality!
Just like King Liao of Wu back then.

In 518 B.C. (the ninth year of King Liao of Wu), at that time, a girl from the Beiliang family in the border town of Chu State and a woman from the border town of Wu Kingdom competed for picking mulberry leaves. The families of the two women attacked and killed each other in a rage. When the officials heard about it, they attacked each other angrily, and the state of Chu wiped out the border towns of the state of Wu.

King Liao of Wu was furious and sent his son Guang to crusade against Chu, and captured Juchao and the two cities of Zhongli in triumph.

Of course, Wu Wangliao was really angry with Chu's actions, so he chose to take revenge.

"Your Majesty, the people of Yue are rude and provocative first, and they blatantly killed our Wu soldiers. I ask you, Your Majesty, to declare war on the Yue Kingdom, and choose a day to send troops to attack Yue!"

Dianke Botong first stood up and said loudly.

"My minister agrees!"

"The Yue barbarian is so defiant and good at initiating wars. If I, the great Wu, don't conquer, is there any reason?"

"Your Majesty, the death of innocent soldiers is a great disaster for the country! Please, Your Majesty, to comfort the souls of those innocent victims, send troops to defeat Yue!"

All the ministers of Wu State in the court were basically unanimous in their request that Qingji send troops to attack Yue State.

And this was exactly what Qingji wanted to see, and it was exactly what he expected!

Naturally, not a single soldier was lost at the border army of Wu State, they were just looking for an excuse to start a war.

Master is famous!

As for the Luyi defenders of the Yue Kingdom, no matter what they do, whether they open the city gate or not, the final result will not change.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?
Now, dozens of soldiers of the Wu Kingdom were killed by the Vietnamese army. As the King of Wu, how could Qingji let it go?
"Send the edict!"

Qingji immediately said seriously: "Let's set up an army of [-] land and water troops. Ten days later, we will send troops south to conquer the Yue Kingdom!"

"In this battle, I want to personally conquer, and personally seek justice for the innocent soldiers of our Wu Kingdom!"

"promise!"

Thirty thousand people, this is all the standing army strength of Wu State.

Fortunately, Wu's military power is more than that.

Thanks to the gradual improvement of the military service system, the compulsory military service system adopted by the State of Wu implements that young and middle-aged men of the right age enlist in the army in turn for militarized training.

You can become a battle-ready soldier with just a little training!
Therefore, when Wu sent [-] troops, all the retired soldiers would be called back to serve as the standing army, so they would be ready for any danger.

At this time, as long as Qingji is willing, he can pull up an army of more than [-] people at any time!
But now, the Wu State has an army of [-] people at one go. It is conceivable that celebrating the taboo is not as simple as simply teaching the Yue State, or occupying some Yue State's land.

He wants to destroy the country of Yue!
