Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 455
"If the Qin army wants to save Chu, they will inevitably go south to Wuguan. Shendi is the place where Qin people must pass."

Qingji walked down to Majesty's stage again, pointed to a place called "Shen" on the sheepskin map under his feet, looked around, looked at Sun Wu, Fan Li, Wu Zixu and Bo Tong present, and said slowly: "Shen, that is, the land of Chu. Wan County in China, the geographical location is very important."

"Its land runs through the north and the south, and has always been the key point for Chu to go north."

"The widow's intention is to send a good general with [-] infantry to attack Wancheng first, so as to prevent the Qin army from entering the hinterland of Chu!"

When Sun Wu and the others heard this, they couldn't help nodding their heads slightly.

With their eyes, they also saw the danger of Wancheng.

Wan County, a large county in Chu State, is composed of Shen and Lu cities.

At the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State in the south became stronger and stronger, and successively annexed the states in the Han River Basin to the north, and the two countries of Lu and Shen were also destroyed by King Wen of Chu.

After the state of Chu occupied this piece of land with both fertile and beautiful soil and the convenience of rivers and rivers, it established Wanyi here as a base for aspiring to the Central Plains.

Wan's name started from here.

It is worth mentioning that among the princes conferred by Zhou Tianzi, there are three Shen kingdoms.

One is Xishen Kingdom, one is Dongshen Kingdom, and the other is Nanshen Kingdom.

Xishen Kingdom was established by the descendants of Shu Qi.

Originally, the Shen people lived in the Dahe (Yellow River) area, and later moved to the west of the old country of Tai and the land of Fufeng to live in groups.

When Zhou Muwang Jiman visited the west, Shuqi's descendants assisted him for his meritorious service, and was made a marquis by Zhou Muwang. Because he was called Shenhou, he was called "Xishenhou" in history.

Later, it was called "Shen Rong", also known as "Jiang's Rong", because the Shen people are a mixed race of Huaxia and ethnic minorities, and they are the first birthplace of the Shen Kingdom.

When the prince Ji Yijiu was deposed and fled to Xishen with his mother to seek the help of his grandfather Shenhou, Shenhou joined forces with the Kingdom of Yu and Quan Rong to attack the royal family of the Western Zhou Dynasty and killed King You of Zhou Ji Gongyan.

As early as two hundred years ago, Xishen Kingdom was swallowed up by Qin State.

Its citizens scattered and fled, and the descendants of the royal family and the people of the country also had their surnames named after their homeland, called Shen.

Nanshen State was a country established by the Zhou royal family in order to strengthen the control of the situation in the south during the reign of King Xuan of Zhou.

King Xuan enfeoffed his wife and uncle Shen Bo in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River, and the fiefdom of Nanshen Kingdom was an important gateway for the Zhou Dynasty to control the south.

After King Ping of Zhou moved to the east, Nanshen was the southern gate of the Eastern Zhou royal family.

In order to guard against the invasion of Jingchu, Zhou stationed troops here.

Shen Guo also strengthened its ties with the princes in the Central Plains, and once married Shen's daughter to Zheng Wugong.

The Nanshen Kingdom was finally destroyed by the Chu Kingdom and officially became part of Wan County.

Dongshen Kingdom is actually the continuation of Nanshen Kingdom.

After King Wen of Chu destroyed Marquis Nanshen, he forcibly moved some nobles and civilians of Nanshen Kingdom to the land of Xinyang in the east for resettlement.

Shen Ren became a vassal of Qiang Chu, and became Chu's forward line of defense against Ba...

The "Shen" in the division of Shenxi refers to the Shen people.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to attack Wandi and stop the Qin army going south!"

Sun Wu took the initiative to ask Ying to say.

"Your Majesty, let me follow you."

Fan Li bowed to Qingji and said, "I'm from Wandi, that's my hometown, and I'm familiar with every plant and tree there!"

Qing Ji nodded slightly, but did not immediately agree.

Wan County is located in the northwest corner, too far away from the main force of the coalition forces, beyond reach, and it is difficult to transport food, fodder and supplies there.

But once trapped in the siege of the Qin army, the Wu army in Wancheng became a lone army and could only fight alone.

It is worth mentioning that the distance between Wandi and Suiguo is only more than three hundred miles.

However, in the meantime, there is a flat river, which is a wilderness, and there is no danger to defend.

That is to say, the chariots of the Qin army can exert their greatest advantages there.

Qingji didn't dare to casually send out a grain transport team to deliver food, fodder and supplies to the defenders in Wan County.

Isn't it dangerous?
After a while of deliberation, Qingji finally made a decision.

"It is my opinion that Bai Gongsheng will be the general, and you, Shaobo, will be the deputy general. You will lead [-] troops to attack Wan County and fight against the Qin army going south."

"Ah, this..."

As soon as this remark came out, Sun Wu and others were all dumbfounded.

Wu Zixu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, Duke Bai has general talent in victory, but he is good at fighting head-on, not defensive battles."

"Besides, Duke Bai is superior to others, he is self-willed, so he may not be able to listen to Fan Neishi's scheme!"

Hearing this, Qingji just waved his hands and said, "I know. However, this time Baigong Sheng must go."

"Wan County cannot be held for long. Shaobo, if it comes to a critical juncture, I will allow you to abandon the city and flee, or surrender to the Qin people."

Qing Ji patted Fan Li on the shoulder, and said meaningfully, "Young Uncle, Duke Bai Sheng has an heir, do you know what to do?"

"promise!"

Fan Li immediately came to his senses.

Sun Wu and others also woke up like a dream.

There is no need for Qingji to speak too clearly, the few people present are all talented and witty, how could they fail to comprehend the meaning of Qingji's words?
Qingji is asking Bai Gongsheng to die!

Bai Gongsheng is ambitious, self-willed, and unwilling to become Wu's puppet.

Moreover, Bai Gongsheng also has many soldiers and horses under his command, and has a certain reputation in Chu State, which is difficult for Wu State to control!

Now, the coalition forces have captured a large area of ​​land in the eastern part of the Chu State, and the Eastern Chu State is about to be formed. Bai Gongsheng also called himself "King of Chu", which established this fact.

What's the use of keeping it?

As for Bai Gongsheng's heir, he was actually the son of Qingji and Mu Ji, a toddler, with the blood of King Wu's family flowing...

At this time, it would be perfect for Bai Gongsheng to lead his [-] soldiers to attack Wan County and block the coming Qin army.

Anyway, Bai Gongsheng's followers are all from Chu, so there is no need to feel sorry for the death or injury.

If Bai Gongsheng knew that he was about to face the menacing Qin army, he would not dare to accept Qingji's order.

However, how can Bai Gongsheng predict the enemy's opportunity?

Without knowing it, Qingji asked Bai Gongsheng to lead his troops to lay down a wider territory for his own Chu State. I believe Bai Gongsheng was very happy.

Qingji can make a difference in information!

As for Fan Li, it was a ticking time bomb that Qing Ji had planted for Bai Gong Sheng.

Even if Bai Gongsheng hadn't died in battle or by the sword of the Qin people, Fan Li would try every means to make Bai Gongsheng die in the chaos.

Or even do it yourself!
Qingji is borrowing a knife to kill someone!
Unload the mill and kill the donkey!
"Your Majesty, do you want to transfer troops from within the country, or conscript troops from Tang and Cai nearby?"

Sun Wu asked.

"No need."

Qing Ji thought about it secretly, and said, "It's too late in time. Let Tang Jun go out and gather all the soldiers who can fight immediately, and they will hunt with you!"

"In this battle, we must crush the main force of the Chu army and capture the king of Chu, Xiong Zhen, alive!"

"promise!"
