Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 25
Qingji got up immediately, bowed to Sun Ping and his son with a very low posture, and said, "If Er Qing refuses to agree to Qingji, what face does Qingji have to meet the Wu people, and how can he have the face to be the king of Wu?"

"Qingji would like to worship Sun Qing as Da Sima, Shangqing, and Taishi, and listen to his teachings day and night!"

"I will worship Mr. Changqing as a young Sima, a senior doctor, train soldiers, and manage military affairs!"

Qingji offered an extremely generous treatment.

The state of Wu basically inherited the official etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty.

Handle his subordinates and take charge of the state affairs, and assist the king to make the state a reality!
Sima's subordinate officials are called "political officials".

Including Da Simaqing one, junior Simazhong doctor two, military Sima Xia doctor four, Yu Sima sergeant eight, Xing Sima sergeant sixteen, brigade corporal thirty-two.

Da Sima is naturally the supreme commander of a country's army, equivalent to a general.

The authority in this is naturally not to be underestimated.

It can be said that Qingji has worked hard to invite Sun Ping, Sun Wu and his sons to serve him and serve him in the country of Wu!
How can you not be ashamed to offer such generous conditions?

Sun Ping immediately said in fear and fear: "Your Majesty, don't be so cruel to the grassroots father and son!"

"Sun Qing and his son are willing to help the widow?"

Hearing this, Sun Ping and Sun Wu both looked at each other and nodded silently.

After all, Qingji got two great talents!
However, Sun Ping did not dare to accept Qingji's generous treatment.

joke!

Da Sima, Shangqing, and Grand Master?
Also let Wu Wang Qingji treat Sun Ping as a disciple?

Sun Ping is impatient!
Sun Ping, who is well versed in world affairs, knows the truth that the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden.

Now that Qingji can still use him, he may treat each other with courtesy and dare not eradicate powerful officials.

And once Qingji gains power, when the father and son are no longer needed, the disaster of ransacking the family and exterminating the family may come unexpectedly!

Sun Ping had no doubts about this.

Therefore, Sun Ping only asked Qingji to worship himself as the great Sima, and Sun Wu as a doctor and general, and he did not dare to ask for too much extravagance!

Qingji is also happy to let it go.

After all, it is true that Sun Wu is great, but he must not be promoted too high at once, lest he will be unsealable in the future!

As for Sun Ping, he used to be an official of the Qi State, and he had a good reputation. Qingji appointed Sun Ping as the Grand Sima to take charge of the military power of the State of Wu.

After nightfall, Qingji discussed "Sun Tzu's Art of War" with Sun Ping, Sun Wu, and his father and son.

After all, Qingji's usual interest is studying the art of war, which may not be as good as Sun Wu, but in terms of actual combat, Sun Wu may not be as good as Qingji!

The next day, Qingji took Sun Ping and his son back to Wudu City.

Just as Qingji announced his appointment of Sun Ping and Sun Wu in the court hall, he suddenly received a bad news.

"Report--My lord, Wuyuan battle report!"

A guarded soldier entered the main hall, knelt and sat on the steps of the imperial pool, and asked the eunuch on one side to pass the bamboo slips to Qingji to read.

Wuyuan battle report?

Qingji's heart skipped a beat, with an ominous premonition.

Wuyuan, an important city in the south of Wu State, has now become a battleground for military strategists!

Not long ago, Qingji just sent Meng Ben to lead three thousand troops to Wuyuan to sit in the city and ordered him not to fight without authorization.

You know, Helu currently has only two or three thousand soldiers, and it is very easy for Meng Ben to defend Wuyuan City.

Could it be that Wuyuan City has changed hands and Meng Ben was defeated?

When Qingji opened the battle report, he frowned.

Sure enough, Wuyuan City has fallen, and Meng Ben is defeated!
Meng Ben led the army to take the first step to occupy Wuyuan City, and Gai Yinhelu was still busy gathering the defeated troops, which wasted time.

But the Helu army still followed closely behind, approaching the city.

In response to the enemy's invasion, Meng Ben defended the city, and at the same time sent a group of soldiers to set up camp [-] miles outside the city, buried the antlers deeply, and formed a momentum of smashing the horns.

This in itself is fine!

This is the usual method of military strategists.

Unfortunately, Meng Ben still underestimated Wu Zixu's strategy!
After nightfall, while Meng Ben's troops were not yet firmly established, Helu's army commander drove straight in and attacked his camp at night.

Meng Ben hurriedly led his troops to help, but unexpectedly at this time, Wu Zixu led another army, pretending to be a defeated soldier, and tricked him into Wuyuan City!
In the end, Meng Ben could only watch the fallen city filled with grief and indignation, but he had no choice.

"Retreat!"

Qingji stood up involuntarily, waved his sleeves, and walked away.

Only a group of ministers and officials were left looking at each other, not knowing what was going on!

They could more or less guess in their hearts that most of the frontlines in Wuyuan were defeated.

As for the countermeasures, Qingji did not plan to discuss in the court.

Why?

Because Qingji is still not sure, who among the courtiers is still secretly communicating with Helu about the song, and the thieves are not dead.

Therefore, Qing Ji must take precautions before they happen!

After the dynasty disbanded, Qingji left only Sun Ping and Sun Wu in the side hall for discussion.

Qingji sat on one side, and handed the bamboo slips of the Wuyuan Battle Report to Sun Ping and his son in front of him.

After reading the contents of the bamboo slips, Sun Ping and Sun Wu couldn't help but look at each other with strange expressions.

"Wu Yuan fell, and the bandits revived. Er Qing thinks, how should the widow respond?"

Qingji didn't think of a way on his own!

He asked Ji Yusun and his father and son, only asking for countermeasures.

After all, Qingji is now the king of Wu, the king of a country, it is impossible for him to do everything by himself, and he is too thoughtful!

Hearing this, both Sun Ping and Sun Wu began to bow their heads in thought.

Sun Wu first said: "Your Majesty wants to rule Wu, or dominate the world?"

"Naturally, it is to dominate the world."

Qingji said in a deep voice in an unquestionable tone: "The grand plan that I want to build in my heart is comparable to the nine princes of Qi Huan and Jin Wen, who can rule the world!"

"If there is a chance, I will build an unworldly feat that goes far and wide, surpassing the kings of the past dynasties!"

"good!"

Sun Wu nodded slightly and said: "Since this is the case, I secretly think that the king should ignore Wuyuan and concentrate on running the country and the army, so that the people can recuperate."

"Ignore Wuyuan?"

Qingji's expression remained unchanged, but he was noncommittal about Sun Wu's remonstrance.

Sun Ping, who was on the side, suddenly changed color!

Sun Ping hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is a child's unintentional remark, please forgive Sun Wu's mistake."

"It's okay."

Qingji didn't mind much!
"I wait for the emperor and his ministers to sit down and discuss the Tao, and the second and third sons can express their own opinions, and no one will be punished for their words."

Sun Ping would only annoy Qingji because Sun Wu persuaded Qingji to give up Wuyuan, but obviously he didn't!
Qing Ji has never been a narrow-minded person, and it is even more impossible to use someone's words to punish someone's crimes.

Qingji's abandonment of Wuyuan indicates that he will voluntarily give up nearly one-sixth of Wu's city land!
Isn't it a crime to encourage the king to abandon the land?
If it were an ordinary monarch, Sun Wu would have been dismissed from office, or his head would have been removed.
