Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 468 The love between the monarch and his ministers will never bear each other

"My lord, my minister..."

Sun Wu was stunned.

Qing Ji took the paper in Sun Wu's hand, glanced at it, and said slowly, "It's the word 'go'. Changqing, God's will is so, don't violate it!"

"promise!"

Qing Ji immediately threw the remaining two balls of paper aside, and said, "The rest are all 'stay' characters, so there is no need to draw lots."

"Changqing, choose a team immediately, and drive back to Jinling with ease."

Sun Wu let out a long sigh, and finally bowed to Qingji and said, "My subject, Sun Wu, obey the king's order!"

Afterwards, Sun Wu took the kit from Qingji, took a deep look at Qingji, and said, "Your Majesty, take care!"

"Go!"

Sun Wu nodded slightly, clutching the brocade bag tightly in his hand, turned around, and walked towards the outside of the Chinese army's big tent in a daze.

When he reached the door, Sun Wu suddenly turned around again, and with a "plop", he knelt down and kowtowed to Qingji.

With tears in his eyes, he saluted solemnly: "My lord, Sun Wu couldn't bear to turn his back on your lord, but..."

"If the king really dies here, my minister, Sun Wu, will spend his whole life devoting all his efforts to destroy Chu State in order to avenge the king!"

"..."

Qingji didn't speak, but waved his hand, telling Sun Wu to leave quickly!

As the saying goes, a friend in adversity sees the truth!

When Sun Wu made such an oath, he was definitely not just talking about it.

To Sun Wu, Qingji is not only a monarch, but also a friend, a brother, and a confidant...

Qingji's heart was also quite moved, his eyes were slightly moist, and he couldn't help turning his back slowly.

No one can see any expression on his face at this moment!
With a courtier like Sun Wu, Qingji can be said to have no regrets in this life.

"Bo Tong, Zi Xu, I didn't choose to let you go. You don't blame the widow in your heart, do you?"

Hearing this, Bo Xuan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have made up my mind to follow His Majesty in this life, to live and die together. If Your Majesty dies anywhere, I will not be able to live in this world!"

"Ugh!"

Wu Zixu, who was standing aside, sighed deeply: "Your Majesty, in fact, the most uncomfortable person is Sun Wu. It is Wu Yuan's honor to live and die with Your Majesty!"

Sun Wu, Bo Tong, and Wu Zixu, these three people all have talents in the world, and all of them are human beings.

How could they fail to guess that Qingji had tampered with during the drawing of lots?

Those three balls of paper probably all had the word "Go" written on them.

Qingji asked Sun Wu to go up and grab it first, but he used "God's will" to force Sun Wu to leave.

Does Sun Tzu feel better?

No, not at all!

Just as Sun Wu said just now, he is unwilling to abandon Qingji at this critical juncture.

However, there are some things that have to be done.

It is true that Qingji left behind the choice of the crown prince of Wu, but there must be an important minister who can convince the people of the country to make the note in the kit public to the world.

Furthermore, Qingji wanted to keep Sun Wu so that he could continue to serve Wu even after his own death.

Qing Ji may not necessarily die, but the chances of dying in battle or being captured are a bit high.

If Qingji really died in Chudi, Sun Wu probably would not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life, and would feel guilty in his heart.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the soldiers of the coalition army who had had a full meal were assembled in an open space by the Qingfashui River.

At this time, the coalition forces still had more than [-] troops.

Banners cover the sky, spears and spears are like forests.

More than [-] coalition soldiers stood there in an orderly manner, forming ten mighty phalanxes, a large area covered in darkness, and the formation was very scary.

Standing on a high platform made of various rocks and soil blocks, Qingji looked down and felt a surge of emotion.

"ignition!"

Following Qingji's order, the coalition army camp not far away, together with cauldrons (pots), boats, antlers, and various surplus items, were all burned.

The fire that soared into the sky spread rapidly, dyeing half of the sky red.

Across the long distance, many soldiers could feel a wave of heat coming.

In the phalanx of the coalition forces, there was a sudden commotion, and the soldiers inevitably felt a little panic when they saw this.

Could it be that King Wu is crazy?

No, it's not!
He is going to die and come back to life!
"Second and third sons, my widow, today I'm going all out, just to tell you!"

Standing on the high platform with one hand holding the Longyuan Sword, Qingji said in a loud voice, "Our army has no way out!"

"out on a limb!"

"If you retreat, you will die! If you fight, you will die! There is still a chance!"

"A person's death is sometimes lighter than a feather, and sometimes heavier than Mount Tai!"

"My lords! Tell the widows! You are going to fight and die like a warrior!"

"Still living like a coward?"

"Standing to die, or kneeling to live?"

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Qing Ji's speech really boosted morale to the greatest extent.

impassioned!
Just like what Qingji said, they have nowhere to go, and the only way to survive is to fight.

It is safe and safe to leave a way out, but it is also easy to make people slack and not seek progress.

On the contrary, when a person is cornered, the desire to survive will stimulate all the energy hidden in the heart, in order to fight for a greater victory.

This is the real sense of breaking the boat!
With a sound of "shua", Qingji suddenly pulled out the Longyuan Sword from his waist, and said loudly: "The widow is with the second and third sons!"

"Today, Suicheng will not be broken! Death will not come soon!"

"Go to war—"

Following Qingji's order, the soldiers of the coalition army, who were as excited as blood, quickly moved towards Suicheng.

This is the last battle, it's life or death!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dull and murderous sound of war drums brightened the entire sky.

"put!"

"Shhhhhh!"

Rocks pierce through the air!

Wu Jun fired the only remaining stone bullets from the holster of the trebuchet, and the impact of several waves of stone bullets caused heavy damage to the Chu army defending the city.

Under the cover of the trebuchet, tens of thousands of soldiers of the coalition army rushed to the top of Suicheng on the ladder without fear of death.

"Pfft!"

"Shh!"

"what!"

The sound of fighting, screaming, cursing, shouting and so on, all kinds of sounds are mixed together, endless.

Just like the previous offensive and defensive battles, it was intense from the beginning.

Whether it is the Wu army or the Chu army, they are all working hard, killing and injuring a large number of soldiers all the time.

The Chu army used arrows, hot water, bricks, rolling logs, etc. as weapons to continuously kill and injure the enemies on the ladder.

The battle situation has progressed to such a point that the original military supplies of the Chu army are no longer enough.

It has even reached the point where houses in the city are demolished and used as weapons.

Wu Zixu had already pulled out his saber from his waist and stood on top of the military chariot at the place where Wu Jun's central army was holding a banner, and shouted at Bo Tong, "Bo Tong, you are responsible for defending the king and the flag, if there is any discrepancy, , kill yourself!"

"Do not worry!"

Bo Tong said seriously: "If the Chu people want to hurt the king, they must step over my uncle's corpse first!"
