Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 249

Wu's army destroyed the country of Gu Mie, with few casualties, only about [-] people were killed in battle.

The cost of such casualties is really negligible, even negligible, in terms of the achievement of destroying the country!
After destroying the Gumi Kingdom, the Wu army led by Sun Wu and Wu Zixu's next plan is to wipe out the roots and completely destroy the Yue Kingdom that is still lingering.

So, while cleaning the battlefield, Sun Wu discussed with Wu Zixu.

"Zixu, I've already found out. Without a word, there are only three thousand soldiers stationed in Vietnam. However, the Yue people can recruit five thousand to seven thousand soldiers and horses, which is worthy of a battle."

Sun Wu frowned and said, "Using conventional tactics, I'm afraid we won't be able to attack Juwu in one go. Moreover, the Yue people are afraid of our Wu army's power, so they might have been prepared."

Everyone knows that false ways have destroyed Guo.

When Wu Jun returned to the court in his class, he had to pass by Juwu.

How can Yue people be defenseless when they are in a state of fear?

Sun Wu was not afraid of the Vietnamese army's stubborn resistance.

What he was worried about was that the Yue people fled to the Sanyi Mountains again and hid themselves to fight guerrillas with the Wu army.

When the time comes, won't all the hard work that Qingji has put in be in vain?

"Commander, you are right."

Wu Zixu nodded slightly and said: "The Yue people have been scared out of their wits by our Wu army, so they will definitely take precautions. Just like the Jin army used false tactics to destroy Guo, our Wu army may not be able to catch them by surprise."

"What good plan does Zixu have?"

Hearing this, Wu Zixu groaned for a moment, then bowed his hands and said, "Why didn't the governor send thousands of elite soldiers to attack Juwu in the starry night? From Gumi to Juwu, more than two hundred miles away, if thousands of elite soldiers rushed lightly, within three days , you can reach Juwu City!"

"The advance army can make great fanfare and act like an army of ten thousand people. At the same time, it can block Juwu's road leading to the land of Sanyi, so as to intimidate Juwu's Vietnamese army so that they will not dare to act rashly."

"Even if the Vietnamese army tried to break through, how many people could hide in the deep mountains under the panic?"

"good!"

Wu Zixu's strategy was approved by Sun Wu.

As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit, and generals value opportunities.

Wu Jun just wanted to catch the Yue people by surprise!
Therefore, Wu Zixu's strategy is very consistent with the principle in "Sun Tzu's Art of War" that soldiers are precious and fast.

Immediately, Sun Wu, the great governor, ordered that general Gongsun Xiong command [-] troops to station in Gumi City, and Wu Zixu led [-] elite troops to attack Juwu for a long distance.

Sun Wu himself took the remaining soldiers and horses, food, fodder and supplies, and followed behind the advance army.

……

Juwu, also known as Zhuji, is the second largest city in Yue State.

A month ago, when the Wu army broke through the Yue army, Yun Chang was forced to fortify the walls and clear the country, turning the land of the cities and towns of Yue State, including Juwu, into a piece of white land.

The Yue State, which followed the scorched-earth policy, not only burned houses and fields one by one, but also drove people and livestock into the mountains.

Fortunately, the war between Wu and Yue seems to have ended, and it came to an end as the Yue Kingdom paid tribute to the Wu Kingdom and ceded land for peace.

The soldiers and civilians of the Yue State who had been hiding in the mountains of Sanyi returned to their hometowns one after another.

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo!"

At this moment, under the city of Juwu, thousands of Wu Jun sharp soldiers formed several square formations, waved their flags and shouted, and rushed to Xiaohan.

On the banner of Wu Jun's central army, there is a word "Sun" embroidered on it, which is obviously the main force led by Sun Wu, the governor of Wu Jun.

On the top of the city, the defenders of the Yue Kingdom were all pale, showing expressions of fear.

They are already afraid of being beaten by the Wu army who must win the battle and take the attack!

In mountain warfare, the Vietnamese army can mediate with the Wu army, but for offensive and defensive battles, the Wu army's trebuchets and bed crossbows are not vegetarians!

"Da Sima, there should be tens of thousands of people watching Wu Jun's momentum and banners. However, I guess Sun Wu is just bluffing!"

Ling Gufu, who was standing beside Da Sima Shimai, frowned and said: "There is no distance between Gu Mie and the journey is long. It will take at least a month for Wu Jun to go back and forth. So I think this is definitely not Wu Jun's. The main force, they are just creating a false appearance to scare me into the army."

Hearing this, Shi Mai clenched his fists, with an unconcealable look of fear in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "There are not ten thousand Wu troops in the city, but there are thousands of them."

"Aren't they going to destroy the country of Gumi? Why did they appear under Juwu City so quietly? Could it be that they want to destroy the country of Yue!"

Hearing this, Ling Gufu couldn't help sighing and said: "Da Sima, I'm afraid it's true that the Wu people destroyed the country of Gumi, and it's true that they destroyed our country of Yue. I'm afraid that the false way of destroying Guo will never happen again." !"

Back then, Duke Xian of Jin wanted to borrow a road from Yu State to attack Guo State, and at the same time sent Yu State BMW and valuable gifts.

The king of the state of Yu was greedy for money, and the doctor Gong Zhiqi dissuaded him, saying: "The state of Guo is a close neighbor of the state of Yu, and its demise will inevitably lead to the demise of the state of Yu."

The monarch of the State of Yu refused to listen to the persuasion and allowed the Jin army to pass through the border. As a result, the State of Jin destroyed the State of Guo and immediately destroyed Yu.

How is today's event similar to the false way and the extermination of Guo in the past?
Shi Mai was very desperate.

Right now, Yunchang, Goujian, and Luming have all entered Wu as ministers. In Juwu City, the highest official rank is Shi Mai, so Shi Mai has undoubtedly become the chief general of the Vietnamese army.

However, under such circumstances, how can Shimai preserve the country of Yue?

At this moment, a military chariot sped out of Wu Jun's phalanx and came to Juwu City.

Because there was a sign on the chariot as a messenger, the defenders of the Yue Kingdom on the top of the city did not shoot them with arrows.

When the two armies are at war, do not cut them!
This is already a rule of war.

"Does Grand Sima of Yue care?"

"This is a letter written by my family's chief governor! Please read it, and think twice before acting!"

There is no doubt that this is Wu Jun's letter of persuasion.

Sun Wu and Wu Zixu planned to take down Juwu City and destroy the Yue Kingdom without bloodshed.

Ling Gufu hurriedly said: "Da Sima, this must be a letter of persuasion from the Wu people. Da Sima absolutely cannot accept it!"

After saying that, Ling Gufu planned to order the archers on the left and right to drive away the Wu army's chariots under the city.

But Shi Mai waved his hand and asked people to put down the hanging basket and hang up Wu Jun's letter of persuasion.

The content of the persuasion letter is nothing more than to let Shi Mai understand the righteousness, open the city and surrender, Wu Guo will make him a senior doctor, Zhonglang general, and five hundred households in Shiyi.

If Shi Mai refuses to obey, there will be no day when the city will be destroyed, and Shi Mai's family will be killed by Wu Jun.

Shi Mai was so frightened that he fell silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Ling Gufu urgently urged: "Da Sima, don't be intimidated by the Wu people! How can you shake Da Sima with a mere nobleman and a town of five hundred households?"

"Great Sima, in Juwu City, there are still more than [-] soldiers capable of fighting. Even if we can't defend Juwu, we can break out and retreat to the Sanyi Mountains to mediate with the Wu people!"

Abandoned the city and fled to Sanyi Mountain?
Shi Mai couldn't help shivering when he thought about those miserable days in the land of Sanyi, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
