Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 324

Qingji put his eyes on Sun Wu, the official censor, and asked, "Sun Qing, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I think it's time to fight!"

Sun Wu came out and said: "As Tingwei Tong said just now, our state of Wu just abolished the well field system, opened up rice paddies and closed the borders, and allowed the land to be traded freely. Not long after, the allied forces of the princes suppressed the border and forced Wu to restore the well field system."

"How can the king's edict be changed from day to day?"

With a serious expression on his face, Sun Wu said: "This is about the prestige of the king, the prestige of the country, and the honor and disgrace of Wu!"

"Furthermore, I believe that in a battle between Wu and the allied forces of the feudal lords, Wu would win ten times and the feudal lords would lose ten times!"

"To be precise, the king has ten victories, and the Marquis of Qi has ten defeats!"

"Oh, how did you see that?"

Qingji immediately became interested.

All the ministers also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Sun Wu had to say.

I saw Sun Wulang said in a loud voice: "Marquis Qi has too many complicated etiquettes, but the king can let nature take its course. This is one of them, Dao wins!"

"Marquis Qi led the allied forces to openly crusade against the state of Wu for the purpose of aggression, but the king defends the home and the country, and everyone can work together. The second thing is that righteousness wins!"

"Marquis Qi is too lenient in his administration, and his subordinates are mixed with fish and dragons, so he can't see clearly, but the king's kindness and power are combined, and his administration is orderly. The third is that governance wins!"

"Marquis Qi is lenient outside and taboo inside, and he has many doubts about the people he uses. Only relatives and children are responsible for the important tasks."

"The king looks approachable on the surface, but he is shrewd in his heart. He is not suspicious of employing people. As long as he has talent, he will use him boldly, regardless of relatives or distance. This is the fourth thing, the victory!"

"The Marquis of Qi likes to plan and make less decisions. He often plans a lot and looks forward and backward. He is afraid of the head and the tail. The king can make decisive decisions and adapt to infinite changes. The fifth thing is to seek victory!"

"Because of the capital accumulated from generation to generation, Qi Hou used high-level talk and superficial etiquette to collect his reputation. People who like to talk empty words and frame themselves mostly submit to him."

"But the king treats people with sincerity, promotes sincerity in doing things, does not do vain things, leads his subordinates with frugality, and never treats meritorious people with stinginess, so those who are loyal, far-sighted, and have real talents are willing to join the king. This is the sixth, Desheng!"

"Qihou sees people who are hungry and cold, and his sympathy and concern are beyond words. However, he doesn't think about what he can't see. This is just a woman's benevolence!"

"Although Your Majesty sometimes ignores the small things in front of you, when it comes to big things, he can help the world, and the favor he bestows exceeds the expectations of the people. He is thoughtful and considerate, and there is nothing that cannot be saved."

"These are the seven, Ren Sheng!"

"The ministers of the Marquis of Qi fought for power, and slander spread everywhere to confuse the public. But the king uses the avenue to control his subordinates, and even the silent slander that moistens things like water can't work. Eighth, Ming wins!"

"The Marquis of Qi can't tell right from wrong, but the king will reward with rites if he is right, and punish him according to the law if he is wrong. This is the first nine, Wen Sheng!"

"However, Marquis Qi likes to bluff, and using troops is useless. But the king can win with less and use troops like a god. Our army trusts the king, and the enemy fears the king. Ten of them are martial arts!"

"If the Marquis of Qi loses ten times and the king wins ten times, how can Wu have the gift of not fighting?"

"color!"

Sun Wu's words immediately won the applause of many ministers in the court.

This undoubtedly greatly encouraged their confidence in defeating the coalition forces of the princes!
Qingji also knew that Wu would most likely win this battle.

However, if they win miserably, there may be endless troubles in the future.

Wu Guo may not be able to afford it!

However, at this time, Qingji had already made up his mind.

He stood up slowly, looked around at the officials and officials under the platform, clenched his fists, and said loudly: "Second and third sons, this battle is inevitable!"

"The widow thinks that one punch can prevent a hundred punches!"

"The allied forces of the princes are coming, let them come! The widows are not afraid, the Wu Kingdom is not afraid, and the Wu people are not afraid!"

"war!"

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Seeing that Qingji had already made such a decision, the officials couldn't refute it.

……

After the court meeting, Qingji summoned his confidant and important ministers to Zide Palace for discussion.

Among them are Dazai Ji Zha, Zhisu Neishi Fan Li, Da Sima Sun Ping, Yushi Dafu Sun Wu, Zuo Chancellor Wenzhong, Right Chancellor Ji Ran, Tingwei Botong, Dianke Kongqiu, Shaofu Beili and Taifu Apply for interest.

Basically, they are all sequences of the Three Lords and the Nine Qings.

"Second and three sons, if you want to fight the coalition of princes, you need to formulate a careful strategy to defeat the enemy. If you fight against the enemy, you will win miserably, which is not good for our country of Wu."

Qingji said slowly.

Hearing this, Fan Li, who was sitting at the bottom, got up first and said, "Your Majesty, I think you can send envoys to Xintian to persuade the Marquis of Jin and the Six Ministers to attack Qi, or threaten the countries of Song, Lu, and Wei so that they will not dare to act rashly. , turn hostility into treasure!"

"It may not be easy to do this."

Qing Ji shook his head and said, "Jin people, you can't trust them. The last battle against Chu by the princes of the eighteen countries has exposed the true colors of Jin people!"

"The power of the Marquis of Jin falls to the side, and the real power is in the hands of the six ministers. However, the six ministers fight against each other, and they are focused on fighting for power and profit. I am afraid that they have no time to take care of the war on our side of Wu."

Jin State and Qi State can be said to be the two countries least affected by this incident.

Qingji abolished the well field system, opened fields and closed borders, and allowed land to be bought and sold freely. This practice aroused dissatisfaction among the countries in the Central Plains.

In addition, the State of Wu encouraged Li Shu from other countries to settle in Wu, and gave them houses, fields, and agricultural tools so that they could farm with peace of mind, and they were exempted from taxes for five years.

Such generous treatment attracted many Li Shu from Chu, Song, Lu, Wei and other countries to enter Wu one after another.

The massive loss of population is obviously the real reason why the nations attacked Wu.

However, the matter has come to this point, and the state of Wu is already on the verge of riding a tiger.

If under the pressure of the coalition forces of the princes, if the Qingji decree is changed day and night, I am afraid that in his lifetime, it will be difficult for the state of Wu to attract more Li Shu from other countries to make a living in Wu.

Dazai Ji Zha pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, this time the Allied Forces of Fourteen Nations led by Qi State are so powerful that Wu State may not be able to support it alone. Since the Jin people are unreliable, Your Majesty should unite with Cai State, Xu State and Zhongwu State to deal with it together. The coalition of princes."

"good!"

Qingji agrees with this point.

The three countries Cai, Xu, and Zhongwu are relatively close to Wu State and basically border on them. If Wu State is not willing to let the war happen on its own land, it is not impossible to burn the flames of war to the Jianghuai area.

Furthermore, Cai Guo, Xu Guo, and Zhong Wu Guo were already Wu Guo's vassal states, with Qingji as their suzerain, so they did not follow Qi Guo to crusade Wu Guo this time.

However, they must be very dissatisfied with Wu Guo's approach in their hearts.

"Kong Qing."

"Chen is here!"

Kong Qiu immediately stood up when his name was read.

"The widow immediately draws up three autographed letters and gives them to Cai Hou, Xu Jun, and Zhong Wujun to read respectively. You should also send envoys to the Three Kingdoms to lobby the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms."

"promise!"
