Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

"Great victory! Great victory!"

"Great victory in Mud City!"

On the banks of the Yongshui River, Qingji was presiding over the meeting of princes at this time.

Unexpectedly, at the very beginning of the alliance, there would be a dusty schoolboy coming on horseback, shouting "Great Victory", passing through the edge of the huge phalanx, and coming straight to the Sifang stage.

Standing beside Qingji, Goujian quickly took the sealed bamboo slips from the schoolmaster, and then handed them over to Qingji for reading.

At this time, soldiers from all over the world had gathered together and came to Yongdi to assemble.

Even the distant Qi, Yan, Lu, Song and other vassal states inevitably sent hundreds of troops, or sent a batch of food and fodder as needed for the coalition war.

Because Qingji is "the head of the princes" and acts on behalf of the emperor, he is qualified and obliged to quell disasters for the Zhou royal family, that is, "respect the king and fight against the barbarians".

Today, although the world is in chaos, the hegemony that Wu has just established is still unshakable for a while.

The vassal states sent troops to help each other, or funded some food, grass, and military supplies, which was also to give Qingji face, and at the same time to prevent Qingji from finding an excuse to send troops to attack himself...

For countries farther away from Qin, the soldiers and horses they sent, as well as the food and supplies they sponsored, are still on their way.

The closest one is the "Six Jins"!
Qingji did a rough calculation. This time, the princes who responded to the overlord Wu's call included Xue, Teng, Zhu, Tan, Ju, Cai, Xu, Zhongwu, Tang, Xu, Dun, Cao, Chen, Qin, Qi, Yan, Zhongshan, Zheng, Song, Lu, Wei, Han, Zhao, Wei, Fan, Bank of China, Zhi, Shu.

A total of 28 countries!

This is already all the vassal states canonized by the Zhou royal family!

It is conceivable that Wu Guo has a great influence now.

Among the 28 vassal states, there are soldiers who send troops, and those who have money and food send money and food.

Those who sent a lot of troops, such as the Qin State and the Six Jin Dynasty, each had an army of more than 3000 people (required by Qingji).

The two countries that have sent the least troops are none other than Qi and Yan. Fortunately, they have funded a lot of food, grass and supplies.

This temporary coalition of princes can range from a few thousand to a few hundred, and together with the 7 soldiers and horses of the overlord Wu, the total number exceeds [-]...

At this moment, the people gathered by the banks of Yongshui are not necessarily the king of a country, but also the officials of various vassal states.

Because of the long journey in just over a month, there is no need for the kings of the nations to rush here.

"Great victory in Mud City."

Sitting on the main seat of Sifangtai, Qingji looked around and looked at the princes and officials present, holding the good news in their hands, and said with a smile: "Second and three sons, my black husband and son Fan of Wu State, with 5000 people Master, defeated the Persians in Muni City, beheaded more than [-] people, and captured nearly [-] people!"

"Almost captured the King of Persia!"

"hiss!"

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but gasped, feeling extremely shocked.

Wu's [-] elite soldiers have captured so many?

real or fake?

Isn't that a one-sided massacre?
For such a record, everyone including Qing Ji never expected it.

Qingji dispatched Heifu and Gongzi Fan to lead the army one step ahead, originally planning to rush to Muni City to rescue the besieged caravans there, or to postpone the urgent need.

Unexpectedly, the Persians are so vulnerable!
Even if there are tens of thousands of pigs, tens of thousands of sheep, Wu Junrui with a mere 5000 people, I am afraid that they will not be able to finish it in a day or two!

"Marquis Wu."

At this time, Qin Bo Ying Ning stood up without a smile on his face, bowed to Qing Ji and said, "I think that the Persians were almost wiped out in the battle of Mui City."

"The threat from the west has been lifted, so why should we be aggressive and continue to send troops to attack the Western Regions and attack Persia?"

Hearing this, Qing Ji said indifferently: "Uncle Qin's words are wrong. This time in the battle of Muni City, my Wu army only won the first battle, but did not win the final victory."

"To be honest, I have received definite news. The tens of thousands of Persians who invaded the Western Regions are nothing more than an advance army. The real purpose of their king Darius is to devour our Chinese kingdoms!"

"That's why, tens of thousands of people are not enough. The Persians still have more than [-] soldiers and horses, and they are on their way to the Western Regions."

"I believe it won't be long before the main force of the Persians will continue to march eastward!"

"This……"

What Qing Ji said made everyone dumbfounded.

"More than one hundred thousand troops? Seriously?"

"It's hard to say. Although I have lived in the Central Plains for a long time, I have heard from some merchants who came back from the West that according to what they have seen and heard, Persia is a powerful country. Its territory is as wide as that of Wu, and its population is large. , there may be tens of millions!"

"In this way, it is not surprising that the Persians can easily fight with an army of more than [-]."

The princes, dignitaries and officials on the Sifang stage all started talking about it.

With the opening of the Silk Road, Chinese people can more or less understand the strength of the Persians.

It is true that none of them had contact with the Persians, but this did not prevent them from being very interested in those foreign foreigners with high nose bridges, beards, and even blond hair and blue eyes.

As if to enhance the persuasiveness of his words, Qingji waved his hand, and two guards lifted up a screen with a sheepskin map hanging on it.

On the map, the general territory of each country and tribe is clearly outlined.

There are Chinese countries such as Wu, Qin, and Shu, and there are Rongdi countries (tribes) such as Loufan, Shanrong, and Yiqu, and even the remote Persian country is impressively above them.

I saw that the Persian Kingdom (Achaemenid Dynasty) on this sheepskin map has a vast territory, more than twice the size of the Wu Kingdom!
"This is the territory of the Persians today!"

Qingji pointed to the territory of the Achaemenid Dynasty marked on the map, looked at the princes and dignitaries present, and said solemnly: "It is undeniable that the territory of Persia is vast and sparsely populated, but its population The total number has exceeded ten million!"

"The widow has estimated that the population of Persia is no less than 500 million!"

"This country is even more militaristic, a military power!"

"Its standing army has tens of thousands of people. If it is mobilized, I am afraid that the Persian country can send out millions of people to carry out the Eastern Expedition!"

"hiss!"

The princes and officials who heard this couldn't help taking a breath frequently, and their scalps became numb.

What is the concept of an army with millions of people?
You must know that now, including Wu, the standing armies of all the Chinese countries do not have a total of 100 million people!
As for the population of no less than 500 million, it is even more terrifying.

The hegemony of Wu, so far, the total population may have exceeded 1000 million, and the mobilization ability may not be as good as the Persians...
