Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 246 Destruction of Gumi Country
Outside Guzang City, Wu Jun camped.

Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and other generals of the Wu army are discussing affairs in the big tent of the Chinese army.

According to Qingji's order, they led [-] troops to attack Guzang State.

A mere Guzang country, a small country with few people, for Wu Jun, who has a strong army and a strong horse, and comes with a great victory, it is a matter of hand.

It's just that, as a general, Sun Wu must take into account the cost of casualties of Wu Jun soldiers.

In war, people always die.

But Sun Wu must minimize the casualty rate of the Wu army as much as possible, and even defeat others without fighting!
"Great Governor, the envoy of Guzang Kingdom is asking to see you!"

Just when Sun Wu was discussing with the generals, a small colonel suddenly entered the main tent of the Chinese army and reported.

Hearing this, Sun Wu and Wu Zixu who was standing on one side looked at each other, they both saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes and smiled knowingly.

Before the war started, the Guzang Kingdom sent envoys here in advance, and they must have been submissive.

After all, the Guzang Kingdom is the one that is at a disadvantage, occupying a weak position.

And if the Wu army sent envoys first, it would be courtesy first and soldiers later. While invading other countries, it would not lose the demeanor of a big country.

Originally, both Sun Wu and Wu Zixu were worried that the Guzang people would be rebellious and stubborn, and they might resist.

But now it seems that it is nothing more than that!
At least if Sun Wu used it properly, he might not be able to attack Guzang Kingdom at the least cost.

"Bring people in."

"promise!"

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a dark robe and a long crown, led by the small school, entered the Chinese army's tent with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye.

Looking at the generals of the Wu army on the left and right, who were full of murderous looks, the envoy of the Guzang Kingdom couldn't help showing a look of fear.

After all, Wu Jun just rushed over from another battlefield, and the evil spirit on his body has not subsided. For the envoy of Guzang Kingdom who has never smelled blood for a long time, or never killed a single person, it is naturally very terrifying!
I saw that the envoy of Guzang Kingdom came to Sun Wu tremblingly, waved his sleeves, and saluted respectfully: "My minister, Kou Zhun, the senior official of Gumi Kingdom, see the Governor!"

In advance, the soldiers guarding the gate of the camp had already informed this Gumi national doctor named Kou Zhun that the highest military commander in their army was the Great Commander Sun.

In fact, it is.

Wu's military system and official system are different from those of other countries in the Central Plains, even unique.

Not to mention the Sangong Jiuqing system, the military service system adopts a compulsory military service system.

There is also a strict hierarchy of military officers at all levels.

Wuchang, Shichang, Zuchang, Duwei, Xiaowei, Zhonglang general, and general.

Above the generals, set up four towns and four generals, which are southeast, northwest, respectively.

At the same time, such a general can also increase the rank of governor.

For example, the current Sun Wu, who was originally one of the three lords, was appointed by Qingji as the general who conquered the South, and was given the title of governor.

"Doctor Zhong? I don't know what the doctor is here for?"

Sun Wu asked pretending not to know.

In a small country like Gumi country, the biggest subject under the monarch is the doctor, which needless to say.

Therefore, this time, Gumi Kingdom was able to send a Chinese doctor as an envoy, which shows the sincerity of seeking peace!
"Governor, to tell the truth, my minister came here by the order of our king, and wants to negotiate peace with your country."

Unsurprisingly, Kou Zhun lowered his head and said, "Our monarch has admired Wu's culture for a long time. Now that the king's teacher is here, Gumi Kingdom sincerely submits to him. He is willing to be a vassal of Wu Kingdom, to be a minister from generation to generation, and to pay tribute every year! "

Pay tribute?

Before the battle was fought, the Gumi Kingdom had already succumbed, which was really expected.

Because Gumi country itself is a vassal state of Yue country.

Even the country of Yue can surrender, so it is conceivable that the country of Gumi is not a strong bone!

Surrendering to the state of Wu is no different from submitting to the state of Yue.

Sun Wu smiled lightly, and said: "The governor of your country already knows the meaning of your lord. However, my king's order to the governor is to attack and destroy the country of Gumi, so I forgive you!"

"The governor..."

Before Kou Zhun could speak, Sun Wu waved his hands and said, "No need to say anything!"

"Doctor Zhong, please also tell your lord on behalf of the governor that Wu will destroy Gu Mie. If Ru Gu Mie is sensible, you can turn your back on the armor and surrender with courtesy. At that time, you will still be honored and rich, and you will be granted the position of Marquis." .”

"If not, on the day the Gumi city is destroyed, I fear that Gumi's ruler and ministers will not be able to save their lives and sacrifices!"

"My minister will leave."

Knowing that Wu Guotie was determined to destroy the Gumi Kingdom, Kou Zhun could only have a long talk and leave helplessly.

After Kou Zhun left, Sun Wu asked all the generals to retire, leaving only the deputy general Wu Zixu to sit opposite him.

Looking at the generals, Wu Zixu is the only one who can keep up with Sun Wu's rhythm.

"Zixu, it seems that we want to destroy Guzang Kingdom, Yi Ye."

Sun Tzu said with a smile.

"Why did the governor make such a statement?"

"Hahahaha. I don't know if you have read the military book I wrote. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle."

Sun Wudao: "I have already ordered people to find out clearly that the Gumi Kingdom is now dominated by weak rulers and strong ministers. The monarch has no end, and mediocre people are timid and fearful. Hearing that my Wu Kingdom will destroy Yue in three months, I dare not resist if I think about it."

"As for Lu Hun, the senior official and powerful minister of Gumi Kingdom, he may resist stubbornly, but there is nothing to be afraid of."

"If the king surrenders, the army and the people will be like a piece of loose sand. How can we resist? Therefore, it is not difficult for our country of Wu to surrender its soldiers without fighting."

Hearing this, Wu Zixu followed with a slight nod and said, "I don't know what the governor is going to do?"

"I will write a book, and it will be sent secretly without end. If there is no end to know the current affairs, I will definitely come and surrender."

"Tomorrow, we can invite Zhan Gumi's army to the banks of the Mie River, and wait for the endless surrender of the city. Gumi's country can be determined at a moment's notice."

"good!"

Wu Zixu agreed with Sun Wu's proposition.

It is worth mentioning that although Sun Wu is the governor and has great power in the army, Wu Zixu, as a deputy general, can still restrain Sun Wu.

In order to firmly hold the military power in his own hands, Qing Ji also took great pains.

However, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, every time Qingji selects a general and a lieutenant, he will consider whether the two are compatible.

For example, Sun Wu and Wu Zixu are obviously a pair of golden partners.

As soon as Kou Zhun, the envoy of the Gumi Kingdom, left, Sun Wu wrote a letter and sent an envoy to formally issue a letter of war to the Gumi Kingdom.

This is undoubtedly a provocation for the monarchs and ministers of the Gumi Kingdom!
Since it is meaningless to seek peace, surrendering to the state of Wu and becoming a subjugated slave is not what the Gumi people want to do. Therefore, under the call of the senior doctor Lu Hun, the soldiers and civilians in the city mobilized one after another, preparing to fight to the death with the Wu army.

In such a big environment, Wu Mo, the monarch of Gumi Kingdom, had no choice but to accept Lu Hun and other ministers of the war faction to fight to the death.
