Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 234
"Lu Zi, what should I do if I don't agree to the request for a peace negotiation?"

Qingji squinted his eyes and asked.

Lu Ming immediately straightened his waist, and said solemnly: "If the king of Wu insists on fighting again, my king will not hesitate to die, and the whole country of Yue will be united in the same hatred, so even if our country of Yue perishes, so will the teachers of King Wu. The casualties are heavy, and I fear the loss outweighs the gain!"

"My king's order is to burn mountains, forests, fields, and houses. There is no distinction between the north and the south, and people regardless of age. Everyone has the responsibility to defend the land and fight against the war!"

"Let me ask, if all the people in my country of Yue are united and not afraid of death, how can the King of Wu be destroyed?"

Hearing this, Qingji said in a bad tone: "Luzi, are you trying to scare me?"

"Don't dare."

Lu Ming said slowly: "Foreign minister, I just want King Wu to think twice before acting! Instead of obtaining a dilapidated Yue Kingdom, why doesn't Your Majesty follow the trend and get our Yue Kingdom's fertile land?"

As soon as this remark came out, Fan Li, Heifu, Bo Tong, Xiong Zidan and other generals under the majesty's platform couldn't help whispering to each other.

If Yun Chang really issued such a king's order, it would undoubtedly cause great trouble for the Wu army who conquered Yue.

One cannot doubt whether Yun Chang's order can achieve that effect.

Yue State, after all, has been established for more than a thousand years and is very popular.

Yun Chang can also be called the ZTE King of the Yue Kingdom. If he insists on fighting to the end, it is inevitable that the ignorant Yue people will obey, and then scattered all over the place, constantly harassing the Wu army who is the invader.

In this way, it seems that it is not in the actual interests of Wu!
Qing Ji pondered for a moment, then stared at Lu Ming under the majesty's platform, and said loudly: "Lu Zi, please go back and tell King Yue!"

"My widow, I am determined to destroy Yue! If he still insists on going his own way, and the Yue people are stubbornly resisting, I will only get a dilapidated Yue kingdom, so what's the problem?"

"This……"

Qing Ji's determination to destroy Yue is so thorough, which Lu Ming never expected.

……

When Lu Ming turned back to the Kuaiji Mountain camp, the Wu army was attacking the Yue army camp without fear of death.

At sunset on the western mountain, the Vietnamese army stationed in Kuaiji Mountain finally couldn't resist the fierce offensive of the Wu army, retreated again and again, and finally collapsed across the board!
In desperation, Yun Chang had no choice but to take more than a thousand remnants of the defeated generals and flee all the way towards the land of Sanbari in the south.

There, there are more than [-] soldiers and horses in the country of Yue, which is worthy of a battle!
On the other hand, Qingji dispatched troops to take advantage of the victory to pursue and wipe out the main force of the Vietnamese army. At the same time, he also divided his troops to capture various cities in the northern part of the Yue State and expand the territory.

When Wu and Yue were at war, to the west of Wu, Chu declared war on Wu at the same time. With Shen Zhuliang as the general, he led [-] troops across the river to attack Wu.

The Chu army first took the long bank of Wu State as a bridgehead, and then crossed the river in a boat to attack the important military town of Wu State——Chenzi.

As we all know, Zhenzi is easy to defend but difficult to attack. For the attacking side, it is a tough bone.

Therefore, it is not easy for the Chu army to capture Zhenzi City.

What's more, before Qingji led his army to conquer Yue, he had already ordered Grand Sima Sun Ping to lead [-] troops to defend Zhenzi City?

"Ming Jin, withdraw troops!"

Following General Shen Zhuliang's order, the Chu army immediately rang the sound of the gong, causing the soldiers of the Chu army who were attacking the city to recede like a tide.

It took five days for the Chu army to reach Zhenzi City, but the number of times they actually attacked the city was only two days!
Why?

The generals of the Chu army were very puzzled.

After returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, Shen Zhuliang's deputy general finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "General, the last general is puzzled, why does our army only attack Zhenzi City once in a while? They all stop before sunset?"

"Don't understand? Just don't understand."

Shen Zhuliang folded the bamboo slips spread out on the commander's case expressionlessly, and then said flatly: "This is the king's order, and no one can disobey it!"

When it came to Wang Ming, all the generals did not dare to talk too much, they could only suppress their inner doubts and kept silent.

Did Chu State really intend to attack Wu this time?
No, it's not!

Yingdu's order was very clear, that is, to attack Wu with great fanfare, to attract the attention of the state of Wu, to force Qingji to stop the attack on Yue, and Wu and Yue to negotiate peace and stop fighting.

Although the State of Yue is not a vassal state of the State of Chu, there is a covenant, and the State of Chu hopes to rely on the State of Yue to create troubles behind the scenes, so as to divert part of the attention of the State of Wu for them.

However, things backfired!

It is not enough to defeat Wu with more than [-] troops.

With Shen Zhuliang's talent, within a certain period of time, Zhenzi City can be broken, but after that?

If Qing Ji was annoyed, and all the troops of the country were sent to attack Chu, then the gain would outweigh the loss.

Therefore, this time Chu State is just acting.

But the movement from Chu State could not frighten Qingji at all.

From the very beginning, they sent envoys to Wudu to warn Qingji, and then deliberately concentrated military chariots, supplies, and soldiers and horses in Yingdu, posing as if they were going to attack Wudi with all their troops.

After that, the army really attacked Wu at every turn.

It's just that this is not strong enough, it's just a show!
Shen Zhuliang certainly wanted to attack Wu, but his army was not strong enough, so he could only obey the orders of Yingdu and besiege Zhenzi City from time to time.

What absurdity!

Shen Zhuliang felt very helpless, he had never fought such an aggrieved battle!
……

The country of Yue, there is no sentence.

At this moment, the Li Shu who had lived here for generations, no matter men, women, old or young, were all gathered in the open space, and then were driven towards the mountain forest by the soldiers of the Vietnamese army in strong and sharp clothes like driving chickens and ducks.

But all livestock such as chickens, ducks, pigs, and cows, as well as bags of rice, were collected and placed on wheelbarrows, or carried away by people.

Things that could not be taken away, such as houses, gatehouses, shops, etc., were set on fire by the Vietnamese soldiers and burned.

The flames filled the sky, burning half the sky red!

Whether it was a house made of mud, or a simple bamboo house or a thatched house, they were all burned down by the cruel Yue people!

"A sin!"

"Wait for this group of bandits! With such a beastly behavior, are you soldiers of our country of Yue, or enemies of the country of Yue?"

"Wooooow, my home! It's gone!"

"Let go of me! Let me go!"

The people of the Yue Kingdom, who could not leave their homeland, wailed and tried to escape from the team, but they were pointed at by the spears of the soldiers of the Yue Army and dared not act rashly.

"This is the king's order!"

The leading general of the Vietnamese army stood on the military chariot and said loudly: "The Wu army is coming to invade, and we will be in the whole country, and we will fight against the enemy and fight against the enemy!"

"Never leave a grain of grain, a whole house for Wu Gou!"

"Folks, I hope you can sympathize with the king's heart! When the Wu army withdraws in the future, the government will allow the second and third sons to return to their hometowns and build houses again!"

Upon hearing this, the Li Shu of the Yue Kingdom who were being driven forward could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.

Yun Chang is tying his own fate, the fate of the Yue Kingdom, with these poor Li Shu!
