Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 221
For Qingji's statement, Lu Ming was very angry.

Obviously it was Wu Jun who started the war first, but Ke Qingji actually poured dirty water on the Vietnamese army?
However, he dared not speak out!
People are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads?
Although it stands to reason, if the two armies are at war, they should not be beheaded.

But Qingji, this person, is beyond common sense!

In case Qingji got angry and asked the left and right to drag him out and behead him to sacrifice the flag, Lu Ming would really want to cry without tears.

"King Wu, the cause of the war is still unknown!"

Lu Ming thought to himself, then said: "It's just that Wu and Yue are countries of marriage, and they have always been friendly. Why does the king of Wu violate the border of our country of Yue for no reason?"

Hearing this, Qing Ji just glanced at Lu Ming and didn't speak.

Standing at the bottom, Dian Ke Bo Tong immediately came out and said: "Lu Zi, I think you didn't hear clearly! Wu Yue is so good, my king will naturally remember it, but how can it be reasonable for the Ru Yue army to kill our Wu soldiers innocently?"

"My king Yujia's personal conquest is to seek justice for the dead soldiers!"

What a high-sounding excuse!

Lu Ming was very indignant in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "King Wu, to tell the truth, the foreign ministers came here this time to negotiate with Wu, and also to express the goodness of Wu and Yue."

"If the king of Wu can retreat and stop fighting, my king is willing to pay tribute to the state of Wu as a show of friendship!"

Just paying tribute?

Send beggars!

Naturally, it was impossible for Qingji to be satisfied with this.

Being a minister is just a name, and paying tribute is just handing over some rare treasures. Qingji does not lack these things.

Immediately, Qingji stood up and said loudly, "Luzi, I will tell you the truth!"

"It's not good to fight together! If the king of Yue wants to stop fighting and make peace, he must cede half of the land including Kuaiji in addition to paying tribute!"

"Otherwise, nothing to talk about!"

Hearing the conditions Qing Ji offered, Lu Ming's face turned pale with fright.

It seems that Qingji is determined to destroy the Yue Kingdom!
Kuaiji is the capital of the Yue Kingdom, and the most affluent part of the Yue Kingdom is the north. As for the south, it is mostly barren land, full of lofty mountains and miasmas, and there are some Shanyue tribes who do not accept the king...

What is the difference between Qingji like this and destroying the Yue Kingdom?
In desperation, Lu Ming had no choice but to turn back to Kuaiji in despair and report to Yue Wang Yunchang.

……

The country of Yue, outside the city of Kuaiji.

At this time, Yue Wang Yunchang was inspecting the three armies, and he was readying his troops!

There are tens of thousands of soldiers of the Vietnamese army, forming several phalanxes. The front row of soldiers are all wearing strong and sharp, with hat-like helmets on their heads, navy blue robes, and spears or bronze in their hands. Chang Ge, hold your head high.

More soldiers of the Vietnam Army wore simple war robes, leather armor, or cloth armor. Some of them didn’t even have a set of armor. They only wore uniforms of the same color, and they held various weapons. of.

In terms of wealth, Yue State is far inferior to Wu State, even though Yue State attaches great importance to military affairs.

What's more, among the tens of thousands of soldiers, there are still many soldiers who have just been conscripted into the army?
"prick!"

"kill!"

After a while, the drill officially started.

Seeing the appearance of the soldiers practicing, Yun Chang was very worried.

Wu and Yue have been at war for decades, and Yue has always been at a disadvantage. Even when the Wu army is outnumbered, the Yue army can't take much advantage.

And since Qingji came to the throne, the state of Wu has carried out reforms, and the results have been remarkable. It has already become stronger and stronger, and its military strength is even stronger than before!

Therefore, Yun Chang was really worried, whether Yue State could withstand Wu State's massive attack this time?

"Your Majesty, the Great Sikou is asking to see you."

"Walk."

Hearing that Lu Ming had returned to Kuaiji, Yun Chang didn't dare to neglect, and immediately went to greet him at the gate of the camp.

"Big Sikou..."

"Your Majesty, I have a heavy entrustment to you, so please forgive me!"

Seeing Yunchang's expectant expression, Lu Ming bowed his head in shame.

Such a result was actually not unexpected, but Yun Chang had been lucky before.

"What did Qingji say?"

"Qingji is too deceitful. He said that unless the Yue Kingdom cedes half of the northern territory including Kuaiji, and pays tribute as a minister, otherwise nothing will be discussed!"

"This stick!"

Yun Chang gritted his teeth with hatred.

Afterwards, Yun Chang and Lu Ming entered the large tent of the Chinese Army, turned away from the left and right, leaving only the two of them sitting opposite each other.

With a melancholy expression on his face, Yun Chang sighed and said: "Big Sikou, it seems that this battle is inevitable. I am afraid that Qing Ji insists on destroying Yue, and our country of Yue will not escape!"

"Your Majesty, for the current plan, we need to defeat the Wu division through battle."

"How to defeat Wu?"

Yun Chang shook his head and said: "The widow has already sent an envoy to Ying Du, please send troops from Chu State to help, or attack Wu, so that Wu State will be in danger of fighting on two fronts."

"If our country of Yue can stick to the camps and cities, or attack them on the move, it might be possible to force the country of Wu to submit!"

"Your Majesty, that's wrong!"

Lu Ming said solemnly: "How can one country's national fortune be entrusted to another country? Not to mention whether Chu State dares to backstab Wu State, if Qingji puts all his eggs in one basket and insists on destroying Yue, what will His Majesty do? "

Lu Ming's words made Yun Chang fall into deep thought.

indeed!

The State of Yue is not a subsidiary state of the State of Chu, but at least it has an ally relationship. In short, the State of Yue is the younger brother of the State of Chu, and often attacks the State of Wu with the State of Chu.

Whenever the Chu army attacked Wu, Yue would always send troops to harass the southern part of Wu.

The state of Chu is also deliberately supporting the state of Yue so that it has the strength to compete with the state of Wu.

And once the State of Yue is destroyed by the State of Wu, it is conceivable that the State of Wu, which has no worries about the future, will be able to use more troops to deal with the State of Chu in the west.

At that time, Chu will face even greater threats!
Due to emotion and reason, the people of Chu could not just sit back and watch the State of Yue be destroyed by the State of Wu.

Therefore, if the Wu army aggressively attacks Yuedi, it is impossible for Chu to ignore it.

However, the state of Chu will not devote all its power to defeating Wu. If the force of this attack on Wu is too small, the state of Wu does not need to care too much.

Because the army of Wu is strong and the treasury is full, and it can mobilize more than [-] troops, why should it be afraid of the Chu army's invasion?
"Big Sikou, do you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

"I don't dare to take a good strategy. Of course, for the current strategy, our country of Yue has no choice but to fight against Master Wu!"

Lu Ming said solemnly: "Warrior, it is not only a frontal battle. If the sword goes to the front, it might not be possible for the weak to defeat the strong!"

"Appreciate further details!"

Hearing that Luming really had an idea, Yunchang was very curious.

……

While Yunchang and Lu Ming were discussing the strategy of defeating the enemy, Qingji had already led Wu's land and water army of [-] people, drove straight all the way, crossed the Yu'er River, and then conquered Luyi in one go.

Wu Jun was full of ambition, and went south non-stop all the way, heading straight for Kuaiji, the capital of the Yue Kingdom.

If Kuaiji City can be smashed in one battle, the Yue Kingdom will almost be destroyed!
