Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 570 Setting up the Southwest King

The next day, the generals of the Wu army took the lion model that had been rushed overnight and placed it at the front of their phalanx.

"Moo-"

The more than 50 war elephants that rushed over suddenly saw a male lion waiting in battle, turning around and running as if facing a natural enemy, no matter how much the driver whipped them, they would not turn back to face the battle.

"kill!"

Qingji then drew out the Longyuan Sword and pointed at the Ailao Army phalanx opposite.

The general Wu Jun, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, rushed over quickly as if he had been beaten with blood.

"Shh!"

"Pfft!"

"what!"

Without the help of war elephants, the Ailao people are like toothless tigers, lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

The soldiers of the Wu army became stronger and stronger as they killed more and more. They drove straight in and killed thousands of Ailao people and Dian people.

In desperation, these Ailao people and Dian people could only flee back to the city in embarrassment and stay behind closed doors.

Qingji was not in a hurry to capture Ailao City before the siege equipment from the rear had arrived at the front line.

In fact, with the war going to such a point, Qingji thought it could be over.

The army has been marching south for a year, including Qingji, who are exhausted.

Wu Jun, whose morale was like a rainbow, is now only fighting hard, and cannot exert 100% combat effectiveness.

Therefore, after Wu Jun won a big victory, Qingji asked Bo Tong as an envoy to enter Ailao City to negotiate with the Ailao people.

As long as the people of Ailao are willing to surrender to the state of Wu, Qingji is willing to confer the title of King Ailao as "Emperor" and "Lord Ailao", hereditary.

This was the choice Qingji had to make when Wu Jun was at the end of his battle.

He has already completed several generations of great achievements that could not be accomplished, so there is no need to exhaust Wu Guo's efforts...

Just as Qingji expected, the Ailao people did not dare to contend with the Wu army anymore, and declared their surrender to the Wu State, paying tribute every year, and entering the court every year.

So far, Qingji has completed the Southern Expedition, which lasted for a year.

But, in fact, the closing matters are not over yet.

……

The time has entered the 14th year of Wu Wang Qingji, that is, 500 BC, the first month.

Qingji issued an edict, including the six counties in Lingnan, as well as Hanoi, Baipu, Dian, and Ailao, which were newly included in the territory, to search the mountains and seas to eliminate all rebels.

Anyone who took advantage of the previous war, or who had moved into the deep mountains and old forests a long time ago, must be hunted down one by one, recruiting them to come out and register.

This move will allow Wu to gain a large population.

Although Wu Guo had to pay a lot for this and hurt his muscles and bones, but in Qingji's view, it was all worth it.

After conquering the Ailao Kingdom, Qingji embarked on the journey back to Jinling City.

However, unfortunately, Qingji caught wind and cold.

Although it is a common cold and fever, in this Spring and Autumn era when the medical level is relatively backward, minor illnesses can also become serious illnesses.

So Qingji had no choice but to shrink into the spacious king's carriage for the time being, covered with a silk quilt, and let Sha Li and Ah Qing follow and wait on him day and night.

"Cough cough cough cough."

On the Lingnan New Road, there is a mighty team of 6000 to [-] people, with no end in sight.

A piece of crimson, with banners covering the sun and spears like forests.

Among them is a gorgeously decorated and majestic black king car.

This is Qingji's royal car, a special car.

At this time, Qingji was lying in the car, covered with a quilt, and asked Ah Qing to feed her soup to recuperate.

There is also a white, beautiful and long-legged Shali for Qingji's knee pillow, so don't be too moist on this day.

"Ah Qing, thank you for your hard work."

Qingji said slowly.

"What did the king say? This is the duty of the courtiers. Being able to serve the king is a blessing that the courtiers have cultivated for several lifetimes!"

Ah Qing smiled, took the spoon again, scooped up a spoonful of decoction, put it to her mouth and blew.

Unknowingly, Ah Qing's three thousand hairs have been twisted up, taking the appearance of a woman.

ashamed.

Qingji couldn't hold back in the end, and accepted Ah Qing.

After all, human hearts are fleshy.

Ah Qing is such a beautiful little beauty, and she takes such meticulous care of Qingji, how can Qingji not be tempted?

The former shepherdess has finally grown up!
"Ah Qing, do you have any sugar? This medicinal soup is very bitter."

Qingji had to complain.

"Cluck cluck cluck."

Ah Qing covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, you are a dignified man, the king of a country, how can you be afraid of suffering? Good medicine is bitter. Be good, open your mouth."

Hearing this, Qingji could only open his mouth again and ask Ah Qing to feed him medicine.

The bitterness in the mouth still makes Qingji a little bit unbearable.

It is true that good medicine tastes bitter, but Qingji absolutely does not want to try it again.

"Your Majesty, my minister Gou Jian is begging to see you!"

At this time, Gou Jian's voice sounded outside the car.

"Come in!"

After a while, Goujian slowly climbed onto the king's chariot and came to Qingji.

Fortunately, Qingji's royal chariot was pulled by six horses, and it was spacious enough, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to carry so many people.

"What's up?"

"Your Majesty, I have something important to do."

Gou Jian glanced at Ah Qing and Sha Li, and faltered.

Hearing this, Qingji waved his hands and said, "Ah Qing, Sha Li, you guys go down first."

"promise."

After both Ah Qing and Sha Li had retreated, Gou Jian knelt down in front of Qing Ji and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"But it doesn't matter."

"My lord, I think that the Dian people, the Ailao people, the Yelang people, and the Zang people, these barbarians in the land of Baipu, will make trouble sooner or later. Why don't your majesty follow the example of Madam Sun as the general of Zhennan, and set up a General to suppress it?"

Goujian asked tentatively.

"..."

Qingji looked at Goujian meaningfully.

Goujian quickly lowered his head, afraid that Qingji would see what was on his mind.

In fact, Qingji's careful thinking about Goujian is not like a bright mirror?
Sun Li's Zhennan General, increased the rank of governor, and has great powers. He can be said to be the King of Lingnan.

During those five or six years, Sun Li acted as a firefighter in the six counties of Lingnan, extinguishing Baiyue rebellions again and again for Wu and Qingji.

Qingji saw this in his eyes and kept it in his heart.

But now that the rebellion in the six counties of Lingnan has been completely wiped out by the Wu army, Qingji will naturally abolish the post of Zhennan General.

However, as Goujian said, the land of Baipu is the same as the six Lingnan counties in the past, and it is necessary to set up a Zhennan general who will increase the rank of governor...

Let Sun Li continue to serve?

Qingji couldn't bear it.

Moreover, Sun Li has been staying in Lingnan for these years, exhausted both physically and mentally. I am afraid that if she is not careful, she will die there.

Besides Sun Li, who else could Qingji trust?
Sun Tzu?
Is it Wu Zixu?

No, no.

Qing Ji could not deny that they were all his confidantes, ministers of Wu State.

However, with people's hearts so far apart, it was impossible for Qingji to entrust them with such great power.

Furthermore, it is not very useful for Sun Wu and Wu Zixu to stay in the southwest.
