Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 335 Becoming the Overlord

Wu Jun camp.

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army, Qingji was discussing with Sun Wu, the imperial historian, Sun Ping, the great Sima, and others how to deal with the war after the war.

At this time, a small school came in and said: "Your Majesty, Goujian, Marquis of Yue, please see me!"

Goujian?

Qing Ji narrowed his eyes, secretly surprised.

Gou Jian saw himself at this time, why?
It is worth mentioning that, as Habayashiro, Gou Jian also participated in this battle.

This fight is also extremely fierce when killing people, and they are always at the forefront every time they charge!

"What's the matter?"

"Goujian claimed to have captured Marquis Qi!"

"what?"

Qingji was quite surprised.

The generals on the left and right sides could not help but stare with shocked expressions on their faces.

Gou Jian has such a great ability to catch Qi Hou's pestle?

real or fake?

"Let him in."

"promise!"

Not long after, Gou Jian escorted a man in luxurious armor, who looked in a state of distress at this time, into the main tent of the Chinese army.

Qing Ji took a closer look, wasn't it the same Qihou Chujiu who had a conversation with himself in front of the two armies before, saluting first and then fighting?
"Young minister Goujian, see the king!"

Gou Jian respectfully saluted Qing Ji.

"Don't be too polite."

Qingji nodded and said with a smile: "Goujian, this time you have made a great contribution for the widow and the country of Wu! How did you capture Marquis Qi?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I didn't know that he was Marquis Qi. I just chased him all the way and saw Qihou at a mountain stream. At that time, Marquis Qi was about to change into the armor of his subordinates and escape, but was discovered by the minister. I was captured alive, and after questioning, I learned the true identity of Marquis Qi!"

Hearing this, Qingji couldn't help sighing secretly.

Goujian's luck is not so good!
Picked up a big leak!
However, sometimes, luck is also part of strength.

It was a great achievement for Goujian to capture Qihou Chujiu alive.

"Goujian, step down now. This achievement will never be forgotten."

"Thank you king!"

After Goujian couldn't help bowing to Qingji, he left the tent of the Chinese army.

Qingji then set his sights on Qihou Chujiu.

Chujiu, who had been reduced to a prisoner, couldn't help lowering his head, looking ashamed.

Chujiu at this moment has really mixed feelings in his heart, which is very unpleasant.

The [-]-strong allied army of the princes was mighty and mighty. They thought they could crush the Wu Kingdom, but they were defeated by the [-] Wu army in just a few days, and they were defeated completely!

Even with [-] pigs, Wu Jun couldn't catch them all in a few days, right?
Chujiu was also a monarch who had led troops in several battles, but he had never suffered such a defeat since he was in the army.

"Qihou, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Qingji went up with a smile on his face, and untied the pestle himself.

Chujiu seemed to be ungrateful, but turned his head to one side without making a sound.

Qingji didn't mind either, and said with a faint smile: "Qihou, I know that you are dissatisfied and I hate you. However, if you win the king and lose the bandit, the widow wins, and you lose, Marquis Qi. This is a fact."

"Qingji, are you humiliating the widow?"

Chujiu seemed to have a lot of backbone, and he said indignantly: "Now I have been captured alive by you, I don't want to live, but I want to die."

"Qi Hou was joking, how could the widow kill you?"

Qingji shook his head and said, "Please also ask Marquis Qi to stay in my country of Wu for a while, so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord."

"Come here, take Marquis Qi down, and treat him well, don't neglect!"

"promise!"

Of course Qingji would not kill Qihou Chujiu.

Because, no matter what, Chujiu is the king of a country.

In this world, is there any saying that the king of a country died on the battlefield?

There may be, but it must not happen when the princes are fighting.

After all, Chujiu is the monarch of Qi State. He has been on the throne for thirty years and has a very high prestige, and is quite famous among other countries.

If Qingji were to execute Chujiu, Wu and Qi might have formed a death feud from then on, a never-ending hatred!

The purpose of wars in this era is often to "conquer" rather than "destroy the country" or "slaughter people".

Great powers do not have the ability to destroy each other, nor is it justified to destroy a country.

In comparison, it is more cost-effective to conquer a country, let it go, let it do things according to its own words, and pay some gifts from time to time.

Even sometimes, winning may not be a good thing!

Sometimes, the value of intangible benefits obtained by observing rituals in war is much higher than the benefits obtained from a victory.

Therefore, there is no need for Qingji to have a death feud with Qi.

Not to mention Qihou Chujiu, Qing Ji couldn't kill even the Qing doctors who were captured alive by Wu Jun like Tian Qi.

This is the rule of war, the most basic rule.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no righteous war, and most people would not abide by the original rules of war.

However, for some officials and generals who were also born in noble families like themselves, they could not be killed.

Because no one can guarantee that the generations of my ancestors, tracing back to the source, may be a family hundreds of years ago.

It's a relative!
Moreover, if you kill the opponent now, you may lose in the future, and others will kill you without paying attention to martial arts.

Therefore, not killing nobles during the war has become an unspoken rule at this time.

After Qihou Chujiu left, Qingji continued to discuss with Sun Wu, Sun Ping, Hei Fu, Xiong Zidan and other generals.

Next, Qingji is going to wipe out several small countries in one go, so as to support war with war.

Because the state of Wu has established a [-]-level military title system, if the land and wealth of the city cannot be obtained, the state of Wu may bear a huge burden.

Just like the Wei State in history, the establishment of Wei Wuzu has indeed laid a solid foundation for Wei State to dominate the world.

There is no doubt that Wei Wuzu is the sharp knife that Wei Guo used to conquer the world.

However, apart from Wei Wenhou who can make good use of Wei Wuzu, Wei Wuhou and Wei Huiwang are two naive people behind.

He only knows how to blindly use his powerful military strength to beat the nearby big countries one by one, until Qi, Chu, and Qin are all over the place, and even his two allies (little brothers) Zhao and South Korea were also suppressed by Wei Wuzu Rubbing hard on the ground.

Blindly going to war with the outside world without obtaining land in the city will lead to the collapse of the Wei military system.

Because the Wei State at that time could no longer afford that huge military expenditure.

Qingji can't follow in his footsteps.

"Your Majesty, I think you should send troops to attack and destroy the five kingdoms of Tan, Ju, Xue, Zhu, and Teng. These five kingdoms are adjacent to Qi, Lu, and Song. They are small and have few people, so they are vulnerable to a single blow!"

"If my Wu army arrives, I will definitely be able to go down with a drum!"

Xiong Zidan came out and said.

Qing Ji just nodded slightly, noncommittal.

This time, Cai Houshen did not agree.

"Your Majesty, our army should conquer the land of Chu in the west with the momentum of great victory, and send troops to the border between Chen and Song. With the power of becoming the overlord, all the princes of the Central Plains will go south. Respect the king as Fang Bo!"
