Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 817
The capital city of Wu State, in the palace of King Wu.

At this time, in the spacious and bright Zide Hall, Qingji held the charming Nanzi in his arms, closed his eyes, and restlessly touched her.

Nanzi, who was panting slightly, blushed as if he was drunk, and leaned against Qingji's ear, whispering softly...

The two are not purely flirting.

But doing serious business.

Nanzi reviewed the memorials of the officials for Qingji, and translated the content into plain language, so that Qingji would not be too exhausted.

After all, as the territory of the state of Wu becomes more and more extensive and the affairs of the state are arduous, as the celebration of the king of Wu, there will inevitably be times when there will be many opportunities.

And Qingji is a monarch who is good at being a shopkeeper.

As long as the general direction can be well controlled and the government can run smoothly, it will be harmless to Qing Ji.

He doesn't have to do everything himself.

For things like reviewing memorials, Qingji usually does it himself, but if he is really tired, he will let Nanzi share it for himself.

Qingji is well aware of Nanzi's ability.

If Nanzi was a man, with her talent and knowledge, she might be able to become the same talent in governing the country as Ji Ran and Wen Zhong.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial written by the captain of the state, you should read it yourself."

After Nanzi glanced at the memorial, he handed it to Qingji for him to read.

What Sun Wu wrote in the memorial was to tell Qingji that he had arrived at Wuguan and was preparing to attack Qin with an army of more than [-] from Wuguan and Danshui in Hanzhong County.

Young Master Xi was in charge of opening up the Chencang Road, feigning an attack from the Baoxie Road, and then crossing the Nanshan (Qinling Mountains) to penetrate into the hinterland of the Qin State with an elite army and directly threaten the capital of Qin, Yongcheng.

In addition, Sun Wu also reported to Qingji in detail that he had recruited Persian prisoners of war, Qin army prisoners of war, Kunlun slaves, and Li Shu in central Shu to serve as labor labor and build plank roads on Chencang Road.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my ministers and concubines for speaking bluntly. Although the Majesty has granted Sun Wu great power, he can act cheaply. However, Sun Wu's self-assertion is really a bad sign..."

Nanzi said rather worriedly: "Now, my country's elite army of more than [-] people is under the command of Sun Wu."

"Sun Wu's hand even extended to Ba County, Shu County, Hanzhong County, Nan County and Nanyang County. He acted so recklessly, and with a heavy army in his hand, he dispatched Kunlun slaves with the privilege bestowed by the king. His hands."

"If Sun Tzu has the heart of disobedience, who can restrain him?"

The power of pillow wind is self-evident.

As Qingji's favorite concubine, Nanzi's words can still be heard by Qingji.

This time, Rao Qingji was tolerant and aware of the overall situation, but he couldn't help but have some doubts about Sun Wu.

After all, Sun Wu took advantage of the privileges given to him by Qing Ji, and his control was too lenient.

Sun Wu holds an elite army of 30 to [-]. Once he rebels, it will be a devastating blow to Wu.

In order to prevent Sun Wu from rebelling, Qingji must firmly control the food and supplies of the army, and Sun Wu's current approach is clearly based on weighting himself...

To be honest, Qingji had some doubts about granting such great power to Sun Wu and his supporters.

However, if he did not fully support Sun Wu, how could Wu successfully destroy Qin?

"Nanzi, what do you mean?"

"We must send someone to divide Sun Wu's power, or to supervise the army."

"Who can take on this great task?"

"Bo Tong, or Young Master Hong."

"..."

Nanzi's persuasion made Qingji fall into deep thought for a while.

What is "supervising the army"?
Generally speaking, the ancient supervising army was dispatched temporarily to assist in military affairs and inspect generals on behalf of the monarch.

I wish to be favored by the king, respected by the country, and supervise the army.

Those who can serve as military supervisors are naturally close to the monarch...

"That's it."

After thinking about it, Qingji decided to reject Nanzi's advice.

"The public is like a green mountain, and I am like a pine and cypress. I will be smashed to pieces, and I will never bear each other."

"This is the oath that Sun Wu and Wu Zixu made with the widow back then."

"For more than twenty years, our monarch and ministers know each other well, and the ruler is wise and his ministers are virtuous, so that we can build the foundation of Wu's hegemony."

"If the widow is sent to supervise the army and restrain Sun Wu, wouldn't it create a gap between the widow and Sun Wu?"

"Mutual suspicion between monarchs and ministers is a big taboo."

Qingji believed in Sun Wu and would never let down his trust.

The war has progressed to this point, with Sun Wu's ability and prestige, it is completely possible to separate Bashu and establish a country on its own.

If Sun Wu insisted on dying, and further infecting Zhinan County, Nanyang County and Hanzhong County, there would be only defeat in the end.

Because, among the Wu army, there are also many confidant generals who celebrate Ji.

Qing Ji also planted many spies from the Black Ice Terrace by Sun Wu's side.

This matter is actually a kind of practice, and Sun Wu also sees through it without telling it.

……

Qin State, Haocheng.

This place used to be a country.

In 770 BC, after King Ping moved to the east, Du Boguo established the Tangduhao State here. His ancestor Cheng Tang once established the capital in Hao, so the country was named "Hao" and the capital was established in Dujing.

However, Du State only existed for 67 years. After Qin destroyed Tang Duhao State, King Tang Duhao fled to Xirong...

At this time, Haodi has become a place where Wu and Qin armies fought fiercely.

"kill!"

The overwhelming shouts of killing can be heard endlessly.

Wearing crimson battle suits, the soldiers of the Wu army, who are wearing strong and sharp clothes, are like fiery red waves, constantly impacting Haocheng.

The city wall, which was originally solid with rammed earth, had already become potholed under the impact of the previous stone bombs, and several large holes were broken.

Especially after Wu Jun used "Shocking Thunder", the city wall has been cracked and is almost at risk of collapsing.

The generals and soldiers of the Qin Army who had never seen the power of thunder, trembled after trying the huge lethality brought by the explosion and the explosion like a bolt from the blue!
"Where is Xiandeng dead man?"

"exist!"

Outside the city, at the place where Wu Jun's central army stood, as a vanguard general, Gong Zizhang had already organized a group of hundreds of dead soldiers.

The so-called "first climber" is the Death Squad, which is composed of a group of fierce fighters who are not afraid of death.

They have a great chance of killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds, and the chance of dying in battle is also great.

It can be said that opportunities and risks coexist.

If these dead soldiers died in battle unfortunately, their family members would be heavily compensated, and they would be automatically promoted to the first rank of military meritorious service.

If they survived, they had the most beheadings, and because of their meritorious service in assisting the army to conquer the city, they would receive an additional collective reward...

It is worth mentioning that the first-time dead soldiers organized by Gong Zizhang all wore samurai uniforms and did not wear helmets or armor. They only had a broadsword around their waists and explosives on their backs.

Their mission is to send the explosives up and blow open the gate of Haocheng.

"attack!"

"kill!"

Following Gong Zizhang's swing of his sword and a finger, the dead soldiers who had already worked hard for a long time rushed to the opposite city wall under the cover of a group of sharp soldiers from the Wu army.
