Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

"My minister, Sun Wu, see the king! The king will live for ten thousand years!"

In the Zide Hall, Sun Wu, who had come all the way back from Wancheng, was bowing to Qing Ji on the majesty's platform.

"Master, sit down."

"Thank you king!"

After Sun Wu took his seat, looking at Wu Zixu who was sitting on the side, he knew that Qingji must have a big battle this time, waiting for them to show their strengths.

Sun Wu and Wu Zixu are collectively called "Big Wu Shuangbi" by the world.

Over the years, the two have made countless contributions in opening up the territory for the state of Wu, and they have fought dozens of battles without losing a single one.

In terms of military exploits, Sun Wu and Wu Zixu are on par.

In terms of fame, in terms of military strategists, no one in the world can compare with them.

The two can be described as peerless twins, famous generals who are rare to see in a hundred years.

Now that Qingji went to see Sun Wu and Wu Zixu alone, how could there be no important discussions?
Sun Wu guessed right, this time, Qingji did have very important matters, and he needed to discuss with them and make arrangements by the way.

"Clap clap clap!"

Qingji applauded for a while, and the two eunuchs held a roll of sheepskin maps, placed them on the floor of Zide Hall, and spread them out one by one.

After spreading out, the eunuch bowed to Qingji with a low eyebrow, and then left Zide Hall.

In the huge palace, only Qingji, Wu Zixu, Sun Wujun and his ministers were left.

Qingji pressed the hilt of Longyuan Sword on his waist, stepped down from the Majesty's platform, and stood on the huge map.

A fairly detailed sheepskin map was drawn, on which were marked the large and small territories of the Huaxia countries, and the mountains, rivers and lakes were marked one by one.

Even some maps of Jianghai, barbarians, and Rongdi nearby have been pieced together.

Just not very exhaustive.

"Master, do you know why the widow recalled you from Wancheng to Jinling this time?"

Qingji asked meaningfully.

"I don't know, please ask the king to make it clear."

"You are still too cautious."

Seeing Sun Wu's low-browed and pleasing eyes, Qingji just chuckled and made fun of it.

Sun Tzu just laughed without saying a word.

Knowing each other, Sun Wu can more or less guess Qingji's thoughts.

However, Sun Wu knew exactly what kind of king Qingji was.

Any majestic and powerful king doesn't like his thoughts to be speculated by his subordinates, and Qing Ji is the same.

Therefore, it is good for Sun Wu to know some things himself, there is no need to expose them, and tell Qing Ji openly, showing off his "capability".

On this point, Sun Wu, Fan Li and Bo Tong have all done extremely well.

Qingji will feel very happy to get along with really smart people, that's why.

Really smart people don't play tricks.

If you are wise and stupid, sometimes it is not the best way to behave in the world?

"It's been four or five years. My state of Wu has established prefectures and counties in the south of Lingnan. It has been four or five years, but the rebellion of the Yue people has been repeatedly banned..."

Qing Ji squinted his eyes and said, "There is a limit to a widow's patience."

"Your Majesty intends to send troops to the six counties in Lingnan to completely put down the rebellion in the South?"

"good."

Thanks to Fu Chai's pioneering, Wu Guo was able to successfully enter the land of Lingnan, almost picking up a ready-made.

But, it's too easy.

At that time, the state of Wu was not as powerful as it is today, so it did not dare to fight and wipe out the small countries and tribes in the south of the Lingnan one by one, but now it is different.

After defeating and subjugating the state of Chu completely, the state of Wu, which also restrained the Jin people from going south, has been able to free up its hands to solve the Yue people's rebellion in the south of the Lingnan once and for all.

This time, Qingji will not recruit and surrender again, and will not show mercy again.

Those who follow me live, those who oppose me perish!

All feudal lords, chiefs, and Qingji must be banned one by one, so that the six counties in Lingnan can truly become part of the Wu Kingdom.

However, this transition period is a bit long.

Four or five years!

It's really hard for Sun Li.

As the general of Zhennan, with the increased rank of governor, Sun Li, who is in charge of controlling the military forces of the six counties in Lingnan, has been very busy for so many years.

Whether it is the lords or the chiefs of the six counties in Lingnan, they are all thorns.

Sun Li is a woman, and it is difficult to deal with these thorns.

The key is that Sun Li must follow the soft policy set by Qingji!
Unable to self-arm.

The six counties in Lingnan were defeated by Sun Wu.

Sun Tzu is also quite familiar with it.

Qingji never fights unprepared battles.

Therefore, to conquer the south, Qingji first thought of Sun Wu.

"There's also Baipu."

Holding the Longyuan sword in his hand, Qingji pointed at a blank area beside the six counties in the south of the Lingnan, and said slowly: "The people of Pu and Dian often collude with the Yue people in the south of the Lingnan to try to overthrow our country of Wu. The rule in the six counties of Lingnan."

"This time, if possible, the widow will take this place together."

If the land of Baipu is captured, the state of Wu will be able to wipe out the state of Chu unstoppably from the east and south with a half-outflank.

Qingji didn't tell Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, or even anyone about this idea.

At this time, Qingji no longer thought about boiling frogs in warm water.

"Changqing, Zixu, if I want to completely quell the chaos of the Yue people and seize the land of Baipu, in your opinion, how many troops are needed?"

Qingji's determination to completely quell the rebellion in the six counties in south of the Five Ridges was not aimless.

The construction of Lingqu connected the Pearl River and the Lijiang River, allowing the State of Wu to quickly send troops from Kuaiji County to the six counties in Lingnan.

There are also quite a few official roads and bridges, which can already lead to the six counties in Lingnan from the mainland of Wu.

There is a basis for this.

Thanks to Wu Guo's recent years of construction projects, bridges and roads in that area.

Could it be that Qingji is really just to strengthen the rule over the south?

No, no.

There is also a deeper purpose, which is to prepare for the Southern Expedition by Qingji.

The Yue people were unruly and rebellious, and refused to obey Wang Hua, Qingji would not spoil them anymore.

He dared to go to war with the barbarians in the south because he was fully prepared.

"This……"

After Sun Wu and Wu Zixu heard this, they looked at each other and fell into deep thought.

Not long after, Sun Wu frowned and replied: "If your majesty wants to completely put down the rebellion in Lingnan and annex the land of Baipu, you need a hundred thousand elite soldiers, and you can't do it."

"One hundred thousand people?"

Qingji was stunned for a moment, apparently he did not expect Sun Wu to ask for so many soldiers.

Did Qingji underestimate the power of the Yue people and Pu people, or was Sun Wu too cautious and overestimated the power of the southern barbarians?

One hundred thousand elite soldiers, this is not a small number.

You know, in the past, Qingji launched a mighty coalition army to attack Chu with only [-] troops.

Of course, plus Bai Gongsheng's troops, there are more than [-] soldiers and horses.

However, Sun Wu asked to use one hundred thousand elite soldiers to deal with the rebels in the six Lingnan counties in a mere land of Baipu?
Isn't Sun Tzu kidding?
Perhaps the combined population of Baipu did not exceed [-].

As for the rebels in the six counties of Lingnan, there may be only tens of thousands of people, and they are fighting on their own...
