Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 220

The State Auditor of Yue, the Royal Palace of Yue.

When the news that Qingji was about to conquer the Yue Kingdom with an army of [-] land and water troops came, Yun Chang was so angry that his face flushed, he drew his sword out of its sheath with a beard and staring eyes, and chopped it down on the case!
"hateful!"

"Child Qingji, the desire to perish me and the country is not dead! How dare you find such a crude excuse to attack Yue! I can't live with this idiot—"

Yun Chang seemed to be in a state of madness, waving the Yue Wang Sword in his hand, and slashed at the table in front of him with one sword after another, cutting off a corner directly.

He was obviously upset!

"Your Majesty calm down!"

Under the majesty's platform, the chief minister Kou Luming and the chief minister Shimai hurriedly spoke out.

I'm afraid that Yun Chang's body will be destroyed by anger, so he won't be able to get sick!
Fortunately, Yunchang just vented his inner negative emotions, and after a while, he retracted the Yuewang Sword into the scabbard, with a gloomy face, and sat back on his seat.

"Qingji, you are too deceitful. You two, the Wu Kingdom will send [-] troops to attack our Yue Kingdom. What should I do?"

Yun Chang, who has calmed down, has realized that this is the biggest problem that must be solved at present.

"Only a battle!"

Shi Mai said almost without hesitation: "My lord, Qingji's wolfish ambition to destroy our country of Yue has been clearly revealed."

"There is no point in seeking peace. Please, Your Majesty, immediately issue a conscription order to pour out the soldiers of the country, and call back the tribes who are still in the Sanyi land, consolidate Kuaiji, and fight to the death with the invading Wu army at the foot of Kuaiji city!"

Hearing this, Yun Chang slightly nodded in agreement.

The war between Wu and Yue is inevitable.

However, the Wu army was coming in a menacing way, and it was still Qingji's royal conquest, which shows how thorough Wu's determination for this battle is!

It is conceivable that the State of Wu is not simply conquering Yue, but wants to destroy the State of Yue in one go!

"Your Majesty, what Da Sima said is very true. However, I think that Your Majesty might as well negotiate peace with the Wu Kingdom. Even if it fails, it can be used as a way to delay the army so that our Yue Kingdom can recruit more soldiers."

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and said.

"Begging for peace?"

Yun Chang couldn't help frowning.

"Exactly. In this battle, Qingji's goal is to destroy Yue, but it is not an easy task. Our Yue Kingdom may pretend to be a vassal of Wu State and cede some land. Please Qingji stop fighting and make peace!"

"Taking this opportunity, Your Majesty can issue a conscription order and transfer the main force from Sanyi to Kuaiji to prepare for any eventuality!"

Yun Chang didn't care about paying tribute and ceding some land.

But, I'm afraid Qingji's appetite won't be that small!
The current army of Yue State is only more than [-] people, more than half of them are suppressing the rebellion in the Sanbari land, and they are too busy to take care of themselves.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the Yue Kingdom can only produce soldiers capable of fighting, no more than [-] people!

Even in the country of Yue, where all the people are soldiers, under the overloaded state, the strength of [-] to [-] troops is already the limit.

Knowing this, Yun Chang did not dare to be negligent, issued a conscription order, dispatched troops and dispatched generals, and went to Wu State to negotiate with the chief officer Lu Ming as an envoy.

At the same time, Yunchang also sent envoys to Yingdu of Chu State, asking Chu State to send troops to help, and attack Wu from the west!

……

early February.

Outside the city of Wudu, banners and flags covered the sky, bustling with people.

Qingji personally led [-] elite soldiers from the state of Wu, preparing to go south to conquer Vietnam.

Before leaving, Qingji naturally had to say goodbye to his wife and children.

Among them, the most difficult thing for Qingji to face is Queen Ji Kou.

Ji Kou was originally Yunchang's daughter, the princess of Yue Kingdom, but she married into Wu Kingdom because of political marriage and became the queen of Qingji!
Fortunately, the two were able to stay in touch with each other, and fell in love with each other for a long time.

Now, as her husband, Qingji actually wants to lead an army to crusade against his mother country, how can Ji Kou's mood not be complicated?
However, although Ji Kou, who has always been virtuous and magnanimous, is in a dilemma, he can still support Qing Ji's campaign against Yue, at least not favoring either of Wu and Yue.

"queen……"

"Your Majesty, don't say too much."

Seeing Qingji who wanted to comfort himself, Ji Kou shook his head and said, "Although the concubine was the daughter of Yue Gui and the king of Yue before, but now the concubine is the wife of the king, the queen of Wu, and the concubine can remember herself identity of!"

"I hope that Your Majesty will be victorious and return triumphantly as soon as possible. However, I hope that Your Majesty will treat the people of Yue Kingdom kindly and do less evil."

"The widow knows."

Qingji grabbed Ji Kou's slender hand, nodded slightly and said: "The Wuyue family starts with widows!"

Once the State of Wu destroys Yue, the former Li Shu of the Yue State will become the Li Shu of the Wu State. How can Qingji not treat them kindly?

"Let's go!"

After saying goodbye to his wife and children one by one, Qingji waved his hands and embarked on the journey to the south!
[-] soldiers and horses, [-] elite armor, these are all elite soldiers!

Thanks to the achievements of Wu's reform, Wu's standing army can basically have a complete set of armor and excellent weapons.

So Qingji is confident that [-] elite soldiers are enough to destroy the Yue Kingdom!
As far as Qingji learned, the current population of the Yue Kingdom was roughly around [-].

Even if all the people are soldiers, excluding the old, weak, women and children, the number of young and middle-aged people in Yue who can fight is only [-] to [-], and the maximum is no more than [-].

Because Yue State is also a militaristic country, especially during Yun Chang's reign, he fought all the year round, expanded its territory, and when it strengthened its own national power, the power of young and middle-aged people was also severely compromised!
But now, Qingji had [-] elite soldiers in his hands, even if he faced the [-] troops of the Yue Kingdom, what fear would he have?
When Qingji led his troops to Wuyuan City and was about to cross the Yu'er River and launch an attack on the Yue Kingdom, suddenly a small school under his command came to report that it was the envoy of the Yue Kingdom, and the Chief Sima Luming begged to see him.

Yue Wang Yunchang sent envoys here at this time, it must be for peace.

How could Qingji agree?

However, Qing Ji did not choose to avoid seeing him, but summoned Lu Ming to the lobby of the government office.

"Foreign minister Lu Ming, see King Wu! King Wu has lived for thousands of years!"

When he saw Qingji, Lu Ming bowed to Qingji who was above him neither humble nor overbearing.

On both sides of the hall are generals such as Xiong Zidan, Hei Fu, Xu Menchao, Gongsun Xiong, etc., as well as advisers such as Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Bo Tong, and Fan Li.

Of course, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no distinction between civil and military, and ministers were basically both civil and military.

Mounted can command troops to fight, dismounted can govern the country and the people, this is the basic operation!
"Luzi doesn't need to be polite."

Qingji, who was sitting on the steps, just smiled and asked curiously, "I don't know why Lu Zi came here?"

"King Wu, the foreign ministers came here by the king's order. King Wu mobilizes the army and mobilizes people to attack our country. I don't know why?"

"Hehehehe, what's the reason? Could it be that King Yue didn't know? Luzi didn't know?"

Qingji suddenly said seriously: "In the battle of Luyi, thirty-two soldiers of my Wu army were killed. Your army provoked the war for no reason. How can you be kind?"

"If you don't seek justice for those innocent soldiers who died, how can you be a king?"
