Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 771 King of Kings, King of Kingdoms

The origin of the Qin people is relatively humble compared with the princes of other countries.

It is undeniable that Qin Feizi, the ancestor of the Qin people, was the son of Fei Lian, a famous merchant general.

However, Qin Feizi was named a vassal state by Emperor Zhou because of his meritorious service in raising horses. In the eyes of the princes, Qin people were born as grooms and were "horse slaves" of Emperor Zhou!
After that, Duke Xiang of Qin sent troops to escort King Ping of Zhou to move eastward, and was named a prince, and gave them the land to the west of Qishan Mountain, but in the end, it was just a "empty check"...

Fortunately, the Qin people themselves are strong enough.

From the eighth year of Qin Xianggong, the people of Qin fought with Rong and Di continuously.

At the beginning, the Qin army was defeated, and after repeated battles and defeats, they finally won Qidi.

At the time of Duke Wen of Qin, the people of Qin migrated by means of hunting, and fought bloody battles with Rong and Di on the way.

Finally, Qin won the "Meeting of Thousand Weis" and settled in Guanzhong, the hometown of Zhou people.

However, the war between the Qin people and Rong Di was far from over.

In a real sense, the first capital of the Qin State was Pingyang, followed by Yongcheng.

Since the first year of Qin De, that is, 677 BC, the Qin people have established their capital here. Yongcheng is a "city moat near the river" with a river as its city, and it is the "Qin capital on water"!
what for?

Qin people use water to defend against the enemy!

However, as the capital of the Qin State, Yongcheng still has the air of a great country.

Yongshui surrounds the southeast of the city, Fenghuang Spring faces the north of the city, and there are artificial moats in the west. There are many palaces and pavilions in the city, which are magnificent.

Back in the day, Yu Yu, who was an envoy of the Rong tribe, was amazed at the buildings and granary savings of the capital of Qin: "If you make ghosts do it, it will be troublesome for the gods; if you make people do it, it will also suffer for the people!"

It can be seen from this that Qindu is not ordinary prosperity.

But, from Qingji's point of view, that's all.

After all, Yu Yu was born in Rongdi, and he had never seen the big world at that time. It was equivalent to coming from the countryside of Kuhaha. How could he not be amazed when he suddenly entered a relatively prosperous city?
"Marquis Wu, after a year of separation, don't you come here all right?"

At the gate of Yongdu City, Qin Bo Yingning has already led a group of officials and officials waiting there.

As soon as he saw Qingji who got off the army chariot, Ying Ning stepped forward to greet him with greetings, which was bound to be polite.

After saluting each other, Qingji smiled lightly and said, "Uncle Qin, I am very kind."

"I don't know how many troops Wuhou brought with him when he crossed Qin this time?"

This is what Ying Ning is most concerned about.

"Not much, just thirty thousand."

"..."

Not more than 3 people?

Although, with Wu's current size, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops is not a problem.

But how could the Qin people allow it?

If Qingji really mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to go north, he might not be going to deal with the Persians, but would launch a war to destroy Qin.

"I don't know what arrangements Wuhou has?"

"The widow has sent an army to help Loulan. The rest of the army will also go to the Western Regions after resting in Yongcheng for a day. The widow may disturb Uncle Qin here."

"Where is!"

Ying Ning said with a smile on his face: "The Marquis of Wu is here, and I want to live in Yongdu for a while. This is my honor, and it is also an honor for Qin!"

"The widow is already in the palace, and has arranged a residence for Marquis Wu, eating and drinking, and has someone to take care of him."

"No need."

Qingji waved his hand and said, "Uncle Qin, thank you for your kindness. However, I am not here to visit mountains and rivers, how can I let you spend money?"

"Marquis Wu, why don't you let me show my respect as a landlord?"

really?
Qingji had no intention of living in the Qin Palace.

After all, this is tantamount to "the dove occupying the magpie's nest".

Even if Ying Ning could bear it, how could the people of Qin not feel dissatisfied?
After a lot of hypocrisy, Qingji temporarily stayed in the camp near the Yongshui River.

However, in order to show how much he valued Qingji, Ying Ning still purposely gave up a residence for Qingji to live in temporarily.

The next day, Qingji ordered Sun Wu to lead an army of [-] people to the Western Regions.

Qingji himself was protected by the 5000-strong Huben Army, Habayashi Army, and Suwei to ensure all emergencies.

In his spare time, as the host, Ying Ning will also host a banquet for Qingji, and invite Qingji to hunt together, enjoy singing and dancing, and drink and have fun.

Because Qingji has to wait for the princes of the world to respond to his call and rush to Yongcheng to meet the alliance, so he will not directly command the battle.

……

The time has entered the 20th year of Wu Wang Qingji, that is, 494 BC, October of the lunar calendar.

At this time, the situation in Muni City is in dire straits.

After being repulsed by the Wu army that time, the Persians chose to surround rather than attack, and blocked the stream below the city.

Wu Jun dug a well fifteen feet deep in the city, but still no water came out.All the soldiers and civilians were thirsty and sleepy, and even squeezed horse manure to drink...

The soldiers and civilians in the city are not only short of water, but also in a situation of serious food shortage!

When they ran out of food, they boiled armor and crossbows, and ate the animal tendons and leather on them.

Wu Ming, Yin Xi and the soldiers treated each other with sincerity, lived and died together, so everyone had no second thoughts, but the number of dead people increased day by day.

After learning about Wu Jun's situation, the Persians sent an envoy to persuade Wu Ming to surrender.

"General Wu Ming! Our majesty Darius, the 'King of Kings and King of Nations', loves your abilities very much! If the general opens the city and surrenders, His Majesty Darius will definitely make you the governor and betroth him to you. You are a beautiful woman to be a wife!"

"General, please seriously consider!"

Wu Ming couldn't understand what the Persian envoy was saying, so he asked Mu Le to translate it.

After knowing the original words, Wu Ming asked with interest: "Mr. Muller, what kind of official position is this governor in Persia?"

"Roughly, it is equivalent to a county guard in my country of Wu, but with more power."

Hearing this, Wu Ming nodded slightly, glanced at the Persian envoy who was shouting at the bottom of the city, and said loudly: "If you dare to come up! I, Wu Ming, will definitely surrender!"

"General..."

Mu Le looked at Wu Ming with some doubts.

Could it be that Wu Ming really had no choice but to surrender?
give up halfway?

Or did Wu Ming really wake up and become greedy for life and afraid of death?
"Send me a message!"

In desperation, Muller could only honestly spread the word for Wu Ming.

After learning that Wu Ming was willing to surrender, the Persian envoy really climbed up to the top of Mud City slowly along the ladder.

On the top of the city, all the generals of the Wu army looked at Wu Ming with complicated expressions, and they were all at a loss.

If even Wu Ming, the chief general, surrendered, where would they be placed?

However, under everyone's amazed eyes, Wu Ming stabbed the Persian envoy's heart with a wide sword that was almost curled in one hand, and then sealed his throat with a sword, killing him completely!

"Light it up! Burn his body!"

"promise!"

Wu Jun roasted the body of the Persian envoy with fire at the top of the city. It can be said that he slapped them hard in front of the Persians!

At the same time, it also declared Wu Ming's great determination that he would never surrender.

Darius I, who saw the envoy he sent was killed and the body was brutally treated by the Wu people, was furious and immediately gave the order to attack the city.
