Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 232 Giving Weight to the Wu People

"There are [-] defenders in Kuaiji City! [-] people! They fell to Master Wu in less than a day?"

"My God! Don't tell me you are all porcupine dogs? There are [-] porcupine dogs, and the people of Wu can't catch them all in one day!"

Yun Chang couldn't help being furious, pointing at the nose of Shi Mai who was kneeling on the ground, and yelling: "Idiot! Kuaiji City throws it away as soon as it says it will! Die! Why don't you die—"

Being scolded by Yunchang like this, Shi Mai couldn't help feeling ashamed and angry.

His crime of losing the city and humiliating the country cannot escape no matter what.

With a sound of "shua", Shi Mai pulled out his sword, put it on his neck, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I know that I have committed a serious crime, and there is no redemption for a hundred deaths!"

"Chen, I would like to apologize with death!"

"Wait a minute!"

Kou Luming, who was on the side, quickly grabbed Shi Mai's arm, preventing him from wiping his neck and committing suicide.

Afterwards, Lu Ming said earnestly to Yun Chang: "Your Majesty, calm down. The Wu army broke through Kuaiji City in less than a day. It's really weird! It's appalling!"

"At the moment, our country of Yue is employing people. Although Da Sima has committed a crime, why can't he use his merits for the crime?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Chang glared at Shi Mai with lingering anger.

Shi Mai immediately said as if he had received an amnesty: "Your Majesty, the Wu army should not have taken Kuaiji City at once. However, the Wu army has a new-style siege weapon. It uses a huge wooden frame to throw stone bullets, and the stones are scattered all at once. Going through the air, even the Urn City was smashed into a big hole in an instant!"

"It's like a god's help! If so, it's not because the defenders are fighting cowardly. It's because the enemy's siege equipment is too sharp!"

quibble!

Hearing Shi Mai's explanation, Yun Chang naturally didn't believe it.

However, it is really inappropriate to cut generals in front of the battle, especially Shi Mai, who is the head of the generals.

For this reason, Yunchang could only temporarily suppress his inner anger, dismissed Shimai Da Sima from his official rank, demoted him to general, and temporarily led the military affairs.

Afterwards, Yunchang gathered Lu Ming, Shi Mai, Ling Gufu and other generals from the Yue Kingdom to the central army tent to discuss major issues.

Yun Chang looked around for a week, seeing all the generals with solemn expressions, and said slowly: "Second and third sons, now Kuaiji City has been broken and fell to the enemy. Wu Jun's next step will definitely be to besiege our Kuaiji Mountain camp!"

"Please speak freely, what should I do at this moment?"

Kuaiji City, as the capital of the Yue Kingdom, has now fallen into the hands of the Wu army, which undoubtedly dealt a great blow to the Yue people.

In particular, Wu Jun was able to break through the city of Kuaiji in less than a day, which made the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom terrified and demoralized!

What can they do in this crisis?
General Ling Gufu was the first to say loudly: "Your Majesty, I think it's a fight to the death, so I'm going to fight in the corner!"

"The terrain of Kuaiji Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although our Vietnamese army has only a few thousand people, it is not impossible to use the advantage of the terrain to mediate with the enemy."

"More than ten thousand soldiers and horses from the land of Sanyi are rushing back to Kuaiji, and Chu State is also sending troops to attack Wu."

"Wu people work hard and go on expeditions, and as time goes by, they will become tired. In addition, the Chu master backstabbed, and the pressure on the west of Wu increased. At that time, Qingji will not take the initiative to propose a peace request, so that the Yue and Wu countries will eliminate their troops! "

Hearing this, Yun Chang slightly nodded in agreement.

According to common sense, if the Vietnamese army can take advantage of the terrain and defend Kuaiji Mountain, it might be impossible to wait until the reinforcements arrive.

In addition, if Chu State aggressively attacks Wu land and fights on two fronts, Qingji still needs to weigh whether Wu State can be tossed.

However, for Ling Gufu's claim, the scheming Lu Ming could only say in his heart: Everyone's opinion!

Qingji made it clear that he wanted to destroy Yue, so how could he stop fighting so easily?

The Yue State pinned all its hopes on the Chu people, which is even more idiotic.

"Your Majesty, the Wu Kingdom of today is no longer the Wu Kingdom of that time."

Lu Ming sighed deeply: "The original state of Wu had a strong army and horses. In addition, Qingji has enforced the new law for many years, with better soldiers and simpler administration. The state of Wu has already become rich and strong, far better than before!"

"How many troops can the Chu people send troops at every turn? Thirty thousand? Or fifty thousand?"

"According to my estimate, when the Wu State is full of soldiers, it can at least have more than [-] soldiers and horses! Why should we be afraid of the Chu people's invasion? Why should we be afraid of mediating with our Vietnamese army?"

"This……"

Including Yun Chang, the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom had to admit that the Wu Kingdom could indeed afford to fight this battle!

Fighting on two fronts, Wu Guo has no fear at all!

This is an all-round crushing of national strength, Yue State is far behind Wu State in all aspects, this is an objective fact!
"Big Sikou, what's your opinion?"

"My lord, although our country of Yue still has the strength to fight again. However, it's just a trapped beast still fighting!"

Lu Ming lowered his head and said, "Why don't you discuss peace with Qingji while the army is still there?"

peace?

Negotiating peace at this time is tantamount to seeking peace!

Ling Gufu hurriedly shouted: "No! Absolutely no!"

"Qing Ji's wolf ambition, how can you easily agree to my request for peace talks?"

"Exactly! If Qingji puts forward harsh conditions, if our country agrees, the country will be destroyed by then!"

"Let Wu Gou see how powerful our Vietnamese army is!"

"Yue people will never be slaves to subjugation!"

Excited!
The generals present found it hard to accept the shame of the State of Yue seeking peace from the State of Wu and then cede land and pay compensation.

They have always firmly believed that with the tenacity of the Yue people, if Wu Guo wanted to destroy Yue, it would be tantamount to fantasy.

However, as a superior, how can Yun Chang be unaware of the current decline of the Yue Kingdom?

Powerless!
Therefore, Yun Chang could only ask with a lonely face: "Da Si Kou, what kind of conditions are you going to offer to negotiate peace with the Wu people?"

"First, cede half of the northern territory of Yue State, including Kuaiji."

"Secondly, to become a minister to the state of Wu, the king, with his wife and children, will enter Wu as a minister, and for a period of three years, he will give weight to the people of Wu."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Chang couldn't help but suddenly changed color.

The generals present were so angry that they blew their beards and stared!

"Great Sikou, you are speaking against the country and the people! It doesn't matter whether you cede the land of the city or pay tribute, how can the king enter Wu as a subject to celebrate Ji?"

"That's right! It's really unreasonable! Qingji is the king of a country, and the king is also the king of a country. Although Wu is stronger and weaker, the more he loses to Wu, he just needs to be a minister and pay tribute. Why did the king bring his wife and children and humble himself into Wu as a hostage?"

"Luming! Tell me, you have accepted so many rare treasures from the Wu people, and you actually instigated the king like this!"

Everyone was very upset and glared at Luming.

Lu Ming was not afraid at all, and sat there calmly, waiting for Yun Chang to reply to him.

After all, Yunchang has been in the top position for a long time, and he has the appearance of a gentleman. After the shock, his face changed for a while, and finally turned into a long and weak sigh.

"Da Sikou, all the cities and territories in the north of our Yue Kingdom are in the old land of Yue, where the essence of the country lies. If they are all ceded to Wu, Qing Ji will fight back in the future, how can the Yue Kingdom survive alone?"
