Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 774

Qingji's rhetoric is naturally to scare the princes and officials present, and it is a bit exaggerated.

However, Qingji was well aware of the strength of the Achaemenid dynasty.

The Persian Achaemenid Dynasty, also known as the First Persian Empire, was the first empire to span Europe, Asia and Africa.

The Achaemenid dynasty in its heyday had a population of 480 million in 800 BC, and its land area reached an astonishing 695 million square kilometers!
The historically unified Qin Dynasty, at its peak, had a land area of ​​only 340 million square kilometers...

This shows the strength of the Achaemenid dynasty.

As for Qingji, the Persians will once again dispatch an army of more than [-], which actually includes auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands!
In other words, the Achaemenid dynasty had a vast territory, reaching the Syr Darya River (Yaoshashui) in the east.

Yaoshashui originates from the Tianshan Mountains, flows through the Turan lowlands and flows into the Aral Sea. It borders the countries of the Western Regions, but it is separated by a Tianshan Mountain. There are too many snowy fields and grasslands, and the environment is harsh, so the Persian soldiers stopped here before.

This time the Persians had made sufficient preparations for their eastward expedition. Otherwise, how could they have mobilized so many troops during an expedition of thousands of miles?
Isn't that for death?

No matter how arrogant Darius I was, he couldn't be so stupid...

At this time, the princes, ministers and officials were all frightened by Qingji's remarks.

If the Persians take advantage of this inadvertently, I am afraid that the vassal states in the land of China and Kyushu will inevitably be affected and invaded by the Persian army!

"Wu Hou!"

At this time, Xiangbang Tianqi of Qi stood up, bowed to Qingji and said: "If Persia is really so powerful, it is inevitable that we and other Chinese nations will join forces to defend against the enemy!"

"The ministers thought that now that the Persians have been defeated in Mud City, they are bound to make a comeback. With the tens of thousands of our lords' coalition army, I'm afraid they won't be able to deal with a Persian army of more than [-], or even hundreds of thousands!"

"Since that's the case, why don't the nations recruit soldiers again and go to the Western Regions to join the war?"

Tian Qi and Qing Ji are allies behind the scenes. In order to make "Tian's family replace Qi", Tian Qi has repeatedly shown his favor to Qing Ji, and this time is no exception.

However, as soon as Tian Qi's words fell, Qin Bo Yingning immediately retorted: "Tian Xiang's words are wrong!"

"The defeat of Muni City may have exhausted the courage of the Persians, and they no longer have the heart to spy eastward. Moreover, even if the Persians march eastward again, they may not be able to send many troops."

"Given the vast territory of Persia, they belonged to the expedition of thousands of miles, and the logistics and supplies could not keep up. Once the food and supplies were exhausted and there was no replenishment, wouldn't they retreat without fighting?"

Hearing this, Tian Qi just smiled lightly and said, "Uncle Qin, you can't always look at the bright side in everything."

"I heard that wherever the Persian army passed by, they often burned, killed, looted, and did not leave any dogs or dogs. They collect food on the spot. If there are inhabited places, why do the Persians have no food to replenish?"

"This……"

Ying Ning opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, but he didn't know what words to use to refute Tian Qi.

After all, what Tian Qi said was the truth!
This time in the great victory of Muni City, Wu Jun was able to achieve such a brilliant result, which was not lacking in luck.

If the Chinese princes and officials think that just one victory in Muni City can make the Persians fearful and give up, and they will no longer go to the Eastern Expedition, then it is a big mistake!

The aggressive, cruel and bloodthirsty Persians will probably be even more angry because of this, and then they will march eastward to China without reservation!
"Tian Xiang is right."

Qing Ji waved his hands and said, "The Persians have long coveted the richness of China's Kyushu. Second and third sons, the land of our ancestors must not be lost, let alone fall into the hands of foreigners!"

"Let's wait, let alone leave such a disaster to future generations to solve!"

"If the enemy wants to fight, we will fight! For the invading Persians, we must not only subdue and scare them, but also completely destroy them!"

"My widow, let all foreigners who covet my Huaxia know that anyone who offends my Huaxia's prestige will be punished no matter how far away!"

Ying Ning smiled sheepishly and said, "Marquis Wu is very strong. However, it's winter, and the cold outside the Great Wall is not suitable for fighting. Please think twice before acting, Marquis Wu."

Qingji waved his hand and said loudly: "Kou can go, I can go too!"

"How can I allow foreign countries and barbarians to bully me?"

Hearing this, all the princes and officials present couldn't help but look solemn, stood up, saluted Qingji in unison and said, "Your order!"

Qingji's determination is very thorough.

This time, if the allied forces of the vassals were dismissed hastily because of a great victory in Muni City, the Persians, who are not dead, will surely make a comeback in the future.

Since this is the case, Qingji can only choose to subdue the Persians, scare them, or even drive them to extinction...

With this level of expedition, the land needs of each vassal state cannot be met.

Fortunately, Qingji can meet their slave needs.

Those captured Persians might become slaves to the Chinese...

"Boom!"

At this moment, from the distant wilderness, there was a chaotic sound of horseshoes.

Since tens of thousands of soldiers lined up around the venue, this team did not dare to force their way.

Qing Ji looked around and saw a group of Rong Di wearing animal skin clothes, big felt hats, daggers or short swords on their waists, approaching Sifangtai.

It is worth mentioning that, in the alliance of Yongcheng this time, except for all the countries in the world who responded to Qingji's call, the eight countries of Xirong, which are adjacent to Qin, all chose to send troops through the same route.

I don't know which Rongdi country this came from?
I saw the leader, wearing a mink fur coat, with a broad forehead and broad shoulders, a dark complexion, bearded face, and a fierce aura exuding from all over his body.

"Yiqumo, the king of Yiqu, see King Wu!"

Surrounded by a group of soldiers, a middle-aged man named "Yiqumo" came to the edge of Sifangtai, then boarded Sifangtai alone, and hugged Qingji who was sitting on the main seat. Chest ceremony.

"Hahahaha! King Yiqu, don't be too polite!"

"Come on, give me a seat!"

"Thank you King Wu!"

For Yi Qumo, Qing Ji seemed very enthusiastic.

Why?

It is true that Wu State and Yiqu Rong State are not allies, and there is not much communication on the surface.

However, don't forget that Wu Guo has always been playing the role of an "arms dealer".

Since Wu State carried out reforms and made the country rich and the people strong, many sharp weapons have been produced and widely sold to all countries in the world.

This allowed Wu Guo to earn a lot of money.

Including Yiqu Rong State, the eight countries of Xirong have business relations with Wu State.

As an ally, Qin State has always been a little dissatisfied with Wu State's practice of "secretly giving and accepting" Xi Rong. However, there is really no evidence that the weapons and bows used by Rongdi come from Wu State...

In fact, Wu Guo never sold its weapons and supplies to Xirong on the surface.

As we all know, the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong and the Qin Kingdom are located in a corner of the west, just on the Silk Road.

Therefore, Wu's business travelers can use their own weapons, tea, salt, silk and other items to purchase horses and furs in Rongdi's hands through the Silk Road.

It's just taking what you want.

For the "trading partner" Wu, the Yiqu people still have a good impression.

The economic lifeline of Qin State and the eight countries of Xirong is actually controlled by Wu State at this time.

Although the goods of Wu's merchants are not necessities, they can also bring Qin and the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong "back to before liberation"...

"This is truly remarkable."

"I didn't expect the Yiqu people to respond to Wu Hou's call?"

"The Yiqu people are unruly and unruly. They have been enemies with the Qin people all year round and attacked each other. Could it be that Marquis Wu can even tame such a Rong tribe?"

Regarding the Yiqu people's response to Qingji's call, the princes and officials present couldn't help whispering and whispering.

Among them, the one with the ugliest expression was none other than Qin Bo Yingning.
