Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 478 The Loving King and Queen
Zhao Yang got up first and said: "My lord, the people of Wu have become irresistible."

"In my opinion, the state of Jin can take advantage of the fact that Wu's foothold in the old Chu land is not stable, and in the name of respecting the king and fighting the barbarians, we can unite with the princes of the world to attack Wu!"

"In this way, even if Wu cannot be destroyed, the arrogance of the Wu people can be suppressed so that they dare not look north."

"..."

Zhao Yang's words made all the kings and ministers of the state of Jin present in deep thought.

Sending troops to attack Wu at this time can indeed achieve unexpected results.

However, what should Wu do to retaliate against Jin afterwards?

The current state of Wu has strong soldiers and strong horses. It may be on the plains, and the chariots are not as sharp as the Jin army, but if the battlefield is placed in the south of the Yangtze River, it is obvious that the infantry of the Wu army will be better.

If Wu Jun waits for work with ease, what can he do?

The scheming Zhengqing Shi Yang shook his head and said, "It's not right."

"Zhao Shangqing, the state of Wu is indeed powerful now, and it should be attacked."

"However, if we mobilize the army to attack Wu in the south, our Jin army may return without success, just like when Qihou joined forces with the princes to attack Wu and was defeated in the Huai River."

"Furthermore, if the state of Jin attacks Wu, how can the states of Qi and Qin stand by and watch?"

"This……"

Zhao Yang seemed to be aware of the seriousness of the problem, so he couldn't help lowering his head.

Shi Yang is obviously more thoughtful than Zhao Yang, but he has a lot of worries.

At this time, the state of Wu may not be able to be compared with the state of Jin in terms of national power, but it can definitely stand against each other.

Although the Jin State is an old hegemony, it is not really invincible in the world, so that all the vassal states will submit to it.

In the past, when Jin and Chu fought for hegemony, they all won over the princes of the world one after another. Among them, Qi and Qin were undoubtedly the most important.

Chu and Qin have been married for generations and have a close relationship, so they formed an alliance to resist the strong Jin.

Qi State also chose to stand on the side of Jin State out of helplessness.

However, all this changed a few years ago.

Wu Wang Qingji married Qihou's daughter Zhenjiang, and Wu and Qi were married.

At that time, Marquis Qi broke with the Jin State under the flickering of the Wu people, and was finally attacked by the Jin Guolian and the princes together. He came to Linzi city and almost perished.

Since then, Qi and Jin have turned against each other.

Although the Marquis of Qi hated the country of Wu who would not save him and deceived himself, he was still very afraid of the overlord Jin.

So in recent years, Qi State has been vacillating back and forth between Wu and Jin, trying to have both sides.

As for the state of Qin, its confidant's trouble is nothing more than that of the state of Jin.

The people of Qin have long had the ambition to go east to fight for hegemony, but it is a pity that they have not been able to achieve their wish.

Even in the time of Qin Mugong, he could only expand westward, "Destroy the twelve countries and expand the land for thousands of miles".

Because the state of Jin in the east has been preventing the Qin people from leaving the customs, based on the idea that the enemy of the enemy is his friend, the alliance between Qin and Chu has always been deeply rooted.

However, after Wu State conquered Chu State this time and replaced it as the dominant country in the south, the people of Qin would definitely show favor to Wu State.

"What does Fan Zhengqing mean?"

Zhao Yang frowned and asked.

This "Fan Zhengqing" is Shi Yang.

Shi Yang's surname is Qi, family name Fan, and his name is Fan Yang.

Because the fief of the Fan family is "Fan", this is the family name, but it turned out to be the Shi family.

Among the six ministers of the state of Jin, Shi Yang was closer to the people of Qin.

As early as 559 BC, Zhengqing Zhongxingyan at that time led the Allied Forces of the Twelve Nations to attack Qin, and the subordinate general Luan Fu refused to obey the order and led the army back to the country without authorization.

Zhong Xingyan had no choice but to order the whole army to retreat.

Luan Yue, Luan Yu's younger brother, was ashamed of it and called on the warriors in the army to continue attacking Qin.

Shi Yang, a newborn calf, responded to Luan Yue's call and failed to attack Qin and was defeated.Luan Yue died in battle, and Shi Yang got off.

Luan Yue died, but Shi Yang survived, Luan Yan drove Shi Yang, and Shi Yang went to Qin, and Luan and Fan turned against each other ever since.

And since Zhao Wu's death, Han Qi became Zhengqing, and the six ministers all agreed to carve up all the resources of Jin State in a crazy manner.

Shi Yang was close to the Zhongxing family, the party was the same, and the Jin government was out of private doors. Therefore, the princes of the Central Plains served Jin with nothing to do, and the hegemony of the Jin State was at a loss.

Shi Yang has been active in the imperial court of the Jin Kingdom for half a century, and he can be called an evergreen tree.

Moreover, since Wei Shu's death, Shi Yang took power in place of Wei Shu, and even used his position to use the state machine to serve Fan.

The monarch is in vain, and Shi Yang did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the country, making Fan the number one minister of the state of Jin.

This undoubtedly made the other five ministers deeply dissatisfied, and the people of the country dared not speak out.

However, Shi Yang and Fan's power are there, who dares to openly resist?

Now the kings and ministers of the state of Jin only hope that Shi Yang, an old man, will go west as soon as possible, so as not to harm the state of Jin again!
However, Shi Yang is lacking in virtue, greedy, and politically minded.

It can be described as scheming!

"To deal with the Wu Kingdom rising in the south, you must not go to war unless you have to."

The old god Shi Yang said calmly: "At present, the hegemony of our Jin country is not firm. With the strength of Wu alone, it is impossible to challenge the Great Jin, but if we add Qin or Qi, will Jin be safe?"

"The rise of the Wu Kingdom is already unstoppable. That being the case, the Jin Kingdom was able to support the Wu Kingdom to deal with the Chu people, and now it is possible to support the Chu Kingdom to deal with the Wu people!"

After a pause, Shi Yang said indifferently: "For Qin, Qi Qi, the people of Qin cannot be restrained, but Qi can win over."

"As long as the original pattern of the world continues, Wu will not dare to look north easily!"

"good!"

Ji Wu couldn't help nodding slightly, expressing deep agreement.

Shi Yang is worthy of being an old fox, and he has a plan to deal with Wu Guo immediately.

Now the State of Wu has indeed risen strongly, but it is just like the State of Chu in the past.

The pattern of the world has changed from Jin and Chu's struggle for hegemony to Jin and Wu's struggle for hegemony.

As long as Wu Jun dare not get involved in the Central Plains, Jin will not lose its hegemony.

Even so, Zhao Yang felt deeply worried.

After all, the state of Chu at that time may not be the same as the state of Wu today!
……

Jinling, the capital of Wu Kingdom.

Inside the Pepper Room.

Qing Ji and Ji Kou lie on the bed together.

Listening to Qing Ji's slight snoring, Queen Ji Pao tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what.

The dim light reflected on her face as mature as a peach.

After being married to Qingji for so many years, the queen Ji Ji, who is in her twenties, is undoubtedly at her most attractive time.

Therefore, based on the principle of equal exposure to rain and dew, Qingji will come to Ji Kou's Jiaofang Hall to rest from time to time.

Everyone in the world knows that King Wu and his queen are very affectionate, so they have the most children together.

However, there is one thing that Ji Kou has been worried about from the beginning to the end.

"Queen, what's on your mind?"

Sleepy-eyed Qing Ji held his chin, looked at Ji Kou who turned his back in front of him and asked.

"Great... great king."

Ji Kou was also taken aback by Qingji's voice, but she was able to react, turned over, and met Qingji's eyes.
