Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 726
The war has progressed to this point, whether it is the coalition forces or the Zhao family's division in Jinyang City, they are exhausted physically and mentally.

The coalition forces besieged Jinyang City for more than a month, but they were unable to conquer it from the beginning to the end. It was a huge waste.

There was no problem with the logistical supplies of the coalition forces.

Because of this battle, all the supplies of the coalition forces were basically borne by the newly born six countries of Zhao, Han, Wei, Fan, Zhi, and Bank of China.

Winter clothes, grain, vegetables, meat and other materials can ensure that the soldiers of the coalition forces, including Wu Jun, have no worries about food and clothing, which is equivalent to fighting on the ground.

As for trebuchets, bed crossbows, various weapons and armor, and military supplies, Zhao, Han, Wei, Fan, Zhi, and Bank of China paid for it...

It was obvious that Qingji wanted to cheat the new "Six Jins" and make them bleed.

It's just that these sons of Wu who have suffered, have to pay the price of bloodshed and sacrifice for Qingji's ambition.

But in Qingji's view, all of this is worth it.

Qingji, who has been in the top position for a long time, has been able to ignore life and the lives of others.

In Qingji's view, the casualties of soldiers may be just one cold number after another.

Is Qingji ruthless?

No.

Qingji was just numb.

How can you be sympathetic to yourself when you are a king?

Without a ruthless heart, Qingji is doomed to fail to achieve great things.

……

Night falls.

Qingji called all the generals to discuss the matter in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Inside the big tent, there is a scorching charcoal fire, which is still "crackling", and the green smoke is lingering, warming the huge tent...

Being here, Qingji would not feel so cold, and he could take off the fox fur that he had been wearing all the time.

Not long after, Wu Zixu, Fan Li, Bo Tong and other generals of the state of Wu, as well as the monarchs of Han Buxin, Wei Hao, Zhao Ji, etc., and a group of high officials all followed into the tent of the Chinese army and took their seats.

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Qingji picked up the tongs, picked up a piece of charcoal fire, put it in the brazier, and then said slowly: "Second and third sons, the battle to attack Jinyang City is now very difficult."

"Zhao Yang really hoarded a large amount of food and supplies in the city, as well as military supplies, so that our army besieged Jinyang City for more than a month, and could not advance an inch, but lost troops and generals."

"Forcing the attack, I'm afraid that the soldiers will be killed or injured too much. If the second and third sons have a plan to break the city, you might as well express your opinions..."

Obviously, Qingji thought it was not wise to storm Jinyang City.

But, can it really outsmart Jinyang City?
If there is such a way, how could Fan Li, Wu Zixu and others have thought of it long ago?

At this time, as the king of Zhiguo, Zhibi stood up, saluted Qingji, and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is not wise to attack by force."

"Our coalition forces have besieged Jinyang City for more than a month, and they have been unable to attack for a long time. The soldiers are exhausted. Now it is snowing heavily and it is freezing cold."

"The widow thinks, why doesn't the king stop the offensive, besiege Jinyang City instead of attacking it, give the soldiers a rest, and wait for the spring of the next year to fight again?"

"Your Majesty, I think that what the wise gentleman said is very true!"

Zhong Xingyin then stood up, with a look of approval on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there were 10 soldiers and civilians of the Zhao family in Jinyang City at the beginning. How can it compare to the land power of Zhao, Han, Wei, Fan, Zhi, and Bank of China?"

"If there is a tug-of-war, Your Majesty can mobilize the forces of the Six Jin Dynasties. Presumably, after more than half a year, the soldiers and civilians in Jinyang City, as well as Zhao Yang, will definitely not be able to support it."

"Even if Zhao Yang insists on going his own way, there must be a civil uprising in the city, or some soldiers will flee and surrender to our coalition forces!"

"good!"

Zhao Ji, Shi Jishe, Han Buxin and Wei Hao present all nodded in agreement.

With the power of the people in Jinyang, it is naturally impossible to compete with the six countries of Zhao, Han, Wei, Fan, Zhi, and Bank of China.

However, can Qingji afford it?

In the battle of Jinyang in history, after Zhiyao led the armies of Zhi, Han, and Wei to trap Jinyang City, Zhao Xiangzi relied on the advantages of the dangerous land and the harmony of the people to deal with the enemy for more than a year...

More than a year!
Wu is not fighting on its own territory now, and once the war is at a disadvantage, no one can guarantee whether the princes of the Six Jin Dynasty who are still respectfully submitting to Qingji will rebel.

If these people cooperate with Zhao Yang internally and externally to attack the Wu army together, Qingji must be the unlucky one in the end.

Thinking of this, Qing Ji just sneered, and said, "Second and third sons, Zhao Yang's intention to retreat to Jinyang City is nothing more than using the advantage of the location to overcome my weakness and fight again."

"If the battle situation falls into a stalemate, can the second and third sons still work together to defeat Zhao Yang with the widow?"

"Your Majesty!"

Bank of China Yin said emotionally: "I, Bank of China, have ruled Wu for generations, with the king as the suzerain, and the country of Wu as the suzerain. Sincerely, this is the lesson of heaven and man!"

"Exactly!"

Shi Jishe, Han Buxin, Wei Lu and other monarchs also expressed their approval.

But, can Qingji believe it?
Absolutely can't believe it!
Heart is under the kyte!
How did Zhi Boyao die in history?

Under Zhao Xiangzi's careful plan, Zhibo's allies Han and Wei turned against each other, which made him suffer from the enemy, ruined his reputation, and brought disaster to the nine clans.

Even his own skull has been reduced to someone else's wine vessel...

"Father."

At this moment, Young Master Xi got up, bowed to Qingji and said, "When my father attacked Jiangcheng, he used to dig trenches and pile up mountains to push forward step by step, and occupied the commanding heights, so that the bow and crossbow can be used. Maximize the power, and attack the defenders of Jinyang City from a long distance from a condescending position."

"Father, why don't you use this strategy to attack Jinyang City?"

Young Master Xi was quite puzzled by this.

Qing Ji did not speak.

Sitting next to Gong Zixi, Yu Shi Zhong Cheng Bo Tong couldn't help but wryly smiled and said: "Young Master, the method of warfare should be adapted to local conditions."

"Jinyang is different from Jiangcheng. The ground in Jiangcheng is soft, and it was raining heavily at that time, so it was very easy to dig a trench."

"Now the ground in Jinyang is hard, and it is snowing heavily. Near Jinyang, there is mostly sandy soil, which is difficult to accumulate..."

Almost all the methods of breaking the city, Fan Li, Bo Tong, Wu Zixu and other brawny ministers, all considered the celebration of the taboo, but there was no practical method of breaking the city.

"Today's discussion, put it on hold for now. The second and third sons go back to rest first!"

"promise!"

Hearing this, Han Buxin, Wei Lu and other princes and dignitaries all retreated one after another.

After a while, only Qingji, Fan Li, Bo Tong, Wu Zixu, Yang Hu, and Gongzi Xi and Gongzi Fan were left in the huge tent of the Chinese army.

Qingji slowly took out two letters that were pressed under the bamboo slips and asked Gong Zixi to distribute them. Then he folded his hands in his sleeves, closed his eyes, and settled down like an old monk.

"Second and third son, these two letters. One is a secret report from the Black Ice Terrace, and the other is a personal letter from Qi Guoguo Xiang Tianqi. They were handed over to the widow one by one..."
