Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 807

"Your Majesty, I have a plan, which may help you solve your problems."

At this moment, Prime Minister Zuo Wen Zhong, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and bowed to Qing Ji.

Wen Zhong not only has the talent to govern the country, but also is a good hand at making suggestions.

For the language, Qingji is quite important.

As the saying goes, eat the king's salary and worry about the king's worries.

Now that Qingji encountered such a difficult problem, how could Wenzhong not try to solve it for his monarch?
"please say."

"Your Majesty, I believe that the battle of swallowing Shu and destroying Qin will be like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and the people of Qin and the princes will not be given any chance to mediate and respond!"

Wen Zhong said in a deep voice: "If the state of Wu destroys Shu, the people of Qin will save it. How can we not give the people of Qin a chance to save Shu, relax our guard, or even agree to the state of Wu's destruction of Shu, or take the initiative to send troops to attack Wu?"

"..."

is it possible?

Including Qing Ji, Ji Ran, Sun Wu, Gong Zihong and others were all puzzled.

Only Fan Li, who was close friends with Wen Zhong, had vaguely guessed Wen Zhong's plan, so a lively smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Prime Minister Zuo, I'm afraid you are not joking."

Bo Tong shook his head and said, "Qin and Shu are adjacent to each other. After the Wu Kingdom acquires the land of Shu, it can be used as a springboard to threaten the capital of Qin, Yong. Why don't the people of Qin feel ashamed? How can they watch my Wu Kingdom destroy Shu? "

"As for the Qin people taking the initiative to send troops to attack Wu, it is absolutely impossible. If the Qin army dares to invade Wu, most of them will never come back. How can Qin's monarchs be so stupid?"

Hearing this, Wen Zhong said with a meaningful smile: "Yushi Zhongcheng's words are wrong. I believe that it depends on human effort."

After a pause, Wen Zhong spoke again to Qing Ji: "Your Majesty, I think you should send envoys to lobby Qin Bo so that the Qin people will send troops to destroy Shu with our Wu Kingdom."

"After the matter is completed, Wu will cede Hanzhong County, which is six hundred miles away, to Qin. In this way, Uncle Qin will definitely agree."

"absurd!"

As soon as Wen Zhong's words fell, Bo Tong couldn't help but glared at him, and reprimanded him: "Wen Zhong, what is your intention to encourage the king to cede the land to Qin?"

"Although the land of Hanzhong County is not as fertile as the land of Shu, there is an important town of Wuguan, which is a strategic place, the throat of Wu Qin!"

"If the people of Qin win Hanzhong County, they will definitely be condescending, threatening Nanjun, Nanyang County, and Sanchuan County in Wu Kingdom. They may even take the opportunity to cut off the connection between Wu Kingdom's mainland and Bashu, and invade Bashu at any time!"

"Ceding Hanzhong County for the sake of a Shu land, not to mention whether it is worthwhile, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles!"

What Bo Tong said was not a lie.

Hanzhong County is actually the land of Shang Yu, with extremely high strategic value.

Because Wu's native land is located in the southeast corner, there are many troops stationed at Wuguan in Hanzhong County, in order to prevent the Qin people from going south and infecting Nanjun and Nanjun.

Those two counties used to be the hinterland of the Chu state, and they were rich lands. So far, they are still important grain-producing areas and economically powerful counties of the Wu state.

If the people of Qin really got Hanzhong County and took the opportunity to go south and wreak havoc on Nanjun and Nanyang County, the loss to Wu would be immeasurable.

At the very least, if the state of Wu wants to make a northern expedition in the future, it is inevitable to take into account the garrison of heavy troops in the northwest.

"Censor Zhongcheng, I didn't say that Hanzhong County was actually ceded to the Qin people."

Wen Zhong said with a faint smile: "This is just a promise. As for whether it will be fulfilled, the decision rests with the king, not the people of Qin!"

"hiss!"

For a moment, Ji Ran, Kong Qiu, Yang Hu and others present all had their scalps numb and gasped.

After working with Wen Zhong for so many years, they never thought that Wen Zhong would be such a brazen person.

In this matter, Wen Zhong has no integrity!

No integrity!

Properly the face of a treacherous villain.

Although deceit and conspiracies are already prevalent in the world at this time, who can do it without a lower limit like the language?

This is Chiguoguo's fraud!

"No!"

Kong Qiu glanced at Wenzhong contemptuously, then bowed to Qingji and said, "Your Majesty, please punish Wenzhong."

"Writing to deceive the king to deceive the Qin State will make the king have no faith in his words, and the world will lose his trust. It is a heinous crime!"

"My minister agrees!"

Bo Tong followed and said, "Your Majesty, a man cannot stand without faith."

"If you use Hanzhong County to deceive the people of Qin and our country of Wu to send troops to destroy Shu, although the king has acquired the land of Shu, he will have a grudge against Qin, and the princes will no longer trust Wu in the future. It is ugly. It is really not worth the loss."

"My Majesty please enlighten me!"

Ji Ran slightly nodded and said: "Your Majesty, it's really wrong to cheat Qin. Wen Zhong is putting Your Majesty in a position of injustice and untrustworthiness, and making Wu a target of public criticism."

How could Qingji not understand such a truth?
However, if according to Wen Zhong's strategy, Wu Guo's attempt to swallow Shu and destroy Qin would indeed be much smoother, and the success rate would be greatly improved.

Qingji closed his eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "Since King Zhou Ping moved to the east, the world has entered into a world of great wars, wars are frequent in various countries, and the people are in dire straits."

"What's the harm in sacrificing your own reputation for the sake of unifying the world?"

"Your Majesty..."

Ji Ran, Kong Qiu, Bo Tong and the others wanted to persuade them, but they were interrupted by Qing Ji waving his hand.

"The following countries today are just intrigues. The strategy of defrauding the people of Qin is despicable, but it is still a good strategy to destroy Qin."

Qing Ji said indifferently: "Who is willing to go to Qin as an envoy for the widow?"

"..."

Obviously, at this time, people who are sent to Qin as envoys are likely to become scapegoats.

Because once Qingji turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone, in order to appease the anger of the Qin people, he can push the envoy as a sacrifice at any time to execute him...

At this time, Wen Zhong said with emotion: "Your Majesty, this is my plan, and I am willing to go!"

Hearing this, Qing Ji nodded and said, "Wen Zhong, I have not misunderstood you."

"Tomorrow, you will leave for Qin, and you must convince Uncle Qin to agree to send troops to destroy Shu."

"promise!"

Qingji set his eyes on Sun Wu again, took a deep breath, and finally made up his mind, saying, "Sun Wu."

"Chen is here!"

"The widow will give you an army of [-]. The people from Healingling, Bajun, Nanjun, and Nanyang counties will formally go out in three days to destroy Shu."

"My lord, then destroy Qin..."

If it is just to destroy Shu, Sun Wu thinks that 8 horses are more than enough.

This is still under the circumstances that the Shu people are united and stubbornly resisting, Sun Wu can guarantee that the land of Shu will be wiped out quickly.

At this moment, Qingji said seriously: "For the time being, you only need to destroy Shu."

"promise!"

Sun Wu agreed.

Qingji put his eyes on Wu Zixu again, and said, "Wu Yuan."

"Chen is here!"

"The widow will give you a large army of [-]. After you gather in Jinling for rest, within a month, you will pretend to be a peasant to escort food and supplies to Bashu, and garrison Hanzhong County in case of emergencies."

"promise!"

Only then did Sun Wu, Wu Zixu and others understand Qing Ji's good intentions.

An army of 30 to [-] people at once, not to mention that it will cause Wu's defense to be empty in a short period of time, and the princes will take advantage of the vacancy.

The people of Qin probably expected that the state of Wu was not just about destroying Shu.

After all, the state of Shu is full of calculations, and the combined population is only a few hundred thousand. Why should it dispatch so many troops from the state of Wu?
