Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Taking advantage of the fierce battle on the Huaishui and Xiangling lines, the scheming Chujiu also appointed Shangqing Guoxia and Gao Zhang as generals, led [-] soldiers, boarded hundreds of warships, and set out from the sea in a mighty way. A raid on Jinling, the capital of Wu, set Qingji on fire in his backyard.

However, how could the movement of this boat division of Qi be hidden from Qing Ji?

Qingji had long ago ordered Heifu and Meng Ben to station troops in the Yunyang and Zhufang areas along the river, waiting for the Qi state's boat masters to enter the river, and then they closed their doors and beat dogs.

……

On the Huai River side, Wu Jun camped.

At this time, Qingji had already received the good news in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Qingji looked around and looked at the generals of the state of Wu in the tent, holding the battle report in his hand, and said with a smile: "Yunyang is a great victory. Heifu and Meng Ben defeated Qi's navy in Dajiang and burned no less than [-] of their warships. , The amount of food and supplies seized is incalculable.”

"They chased and defeated the fleeing Qi army all the way to Yunyang, and wiped out the whole army."

"In this battle, our country of Wu beheaded more than 3 people and captured nearly [-] people. It can be said that we have won a complete victory."

Hearing this, all the generals present couldn't help but smile.

Although in Huaishui and Xiangling, the Wu army did not gain any advantage, but mostly defended and waited to attack.

But the battle of Yunyang undoubtedly helped Wu Jun break this deadlock!

"Report-"

At this moment, a small school entered the tent of the Chinese army step by step, and then took out a bamboo slip and asked the guard to pass it to Qingji to read.

"Your Majesty, Xinzheng urgently reports!"

Xinzheng?

Qing Ji read the content on the bamboo slips, his brows relaxed immediately, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Can Zheng Ren finally hold back?
After the reform of Yangziju, the state of Zheng has greatly increased its national strength, and its military strength has also improved significantly.

Zheng Bo Jisheng is also a person who can't sit still.

This time the allied forces of the princes attacked Wu, Zheng Guo sent relatively few troops.

Qingji knew exactly what Ji Sheng was planning.

"Second and third sons, good news. The Zheng people sent troops to take over the land of Gu Xu, and even planned to plot the land of Gu Dun. Maybe even Chen Guo was coveted by Uncle Zheng."

Qing Ji smiled lightly and said, "10 Zheng Jun went abroad, the plan is not small!"

What is Zheng Ren going to do?

Fishing in troubled waters?
For Zheng Guo, this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It's just that Zheng Guo's wading into the muddy water this time might become the target of public criticism.

Of course, Zheng Guo is the first to act first, and the benefits he can get are also the greatest.

Fan Li, the censor who stood at the bottom, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. Uncle Zheng's actions like this may be tolerated by the princes."

"just wait."

Qingji put the bamboo slips in his hands on the table, and said slowly: "In a short time, envoy Zheng will come to see the widow and discuss the matter of Wu Zheng and Lianheng. Maybe Duke Song will also be unwilling to be lonely..."

Qingji has dealt with all the princes of the world.

Especially Ji Sheng and Zi Luan, both of whom are ambitious monarchs, have been keeping a low profile and accumulating national power for so many years.

Especially Ji Sheng, boldly appointed Yang Ziju to carry out reforms in Zheng State.

Ziluan implemented the New Deal in the Song Dynasty, and all of them achieved remarkable results.

Now that the allied forces of the feudal lords have suffered setbacks in their attack on Wu, and they have been defeated in repeated battles. The two countries, Zheng and Song, saw that something was wrong, so how could they not turn their guns around?

……

Just as Qingji expected, three days later, he met the envoys of Song and Zheng, and began to talk secretly about the relationship between Wu, Song, and Zheng.

In order to ensure the maximum benefit, Song State and Zheng State each sent [-] troops and [-] military chariots to cut off the retreat of the coalition forces and attack the coalition forces of the princes in Xiangling at the same time.

Seeing this, Wu Zixu, who had been firmly guarding Xiangling City, immediately dispatched troops to counterattack. Together with the Song and Zheng coalition forces, they smashed the northern coalition forces in the Yingshui area, beheaded more than 5 people, and captured [-] people.

Knowing this defeat, Qihou Chujiu suddenly felt a thunderbolt from the blue sky. After vomiting blood again and again, he finally passed out and fell unconscious.

At this time, the coalition forces of the princes of the sixteen countries have actually existed in name only.

Even if Chujiu, as the leader of the alliance, does not issue an order to disband the alliance, the princes will withdraw their troops on their own to preserve their existing strength.

However, how could Qingji let go of this great opportunity?
Taking advantage of the coalition forces of the princes disbanding and retreating on their own, Qingji personally led the army, drove straight in, defeated the coalition forces, beheaded more than 5 people, and captured more than 10 people...

After this battle, Qingji not only greatly weakened the military strength of the northern princes, but also stabilized the status of the overlord Wu.

Chujiu also ushered in the end of his life.

The defeat in the war made Jinggong, who was already in the evening, disheartened and hastened his death.

After hurriedly fleeing back to Linzi, the capital city, Chujiu's health deteriorated and he was bedridden. When he saw that he had only one breath left, he had to call the people close to him to his side to explain the funeral.

Now, Chujiu's most trusted ministers are Gao Zhang and Guo Xia.

Although these two men wiped out the entire Qi army in Wu, they cannot escape the guilt, but after all, they are descendants of the Jiang clan, and they are loyal to the government, and these things are still seen by Chujiu.

As for Xiangbang Tianqi, Chujiu had always suspected in his heart that he was in collusion with Wu Guoyou and passed the music secretly, but he couldn't find any conclusive evidence, so he didn't dare to attack Tian Qi.

At this moment, in a magnificent palace, the pestle and mortar, which was about to run out of oil, was lying on the bed hanging with a sigh of relief, beside Gao Zhang, Guo Xia, a woman, and a half-grown boy.

The boy's figure is slightly fat, white and tender, his eyes are quite aura, he looks no more than ten years old.

He was held in the arms of the woman.

The woman knelt on the edge of the sick bed, took out her handkerchief and wept, wiping her tears while crying, looking very sad.

The woman is Chujiu's favorite concubine Rui Ji, and the young man is the youngest son born to him and Rui Ji——

Lu Tu!

"I don't know what the king ordered?"

Gao Zhang asked in trepidation.

He and Guoxia should be more fortunate in their hearts. After all, under the leadership of the two, the entire army of the Qi Division was wiped out in the Battle of Yunyang. .

"Gao Zhang, Guo Xia, both of you are the pillars of our Qi State, the ministers of the widow, the princes of the Qi State, and among the ministers, the most trusted by the widow is you."

Already a pestle and mortar that has returned to light, the words are quite clear.

He pointed at Lu Tu who was at a loss, and said slowly: "The sons of the widow who are still alive include Yang Sheng, Young Master Shou, Young Master Ju, Young Master Qian, Young Master Su, and Tu'er."

"The elders are all mediocre and useless. In this world of great struggle, they can't compete with Qing Ji, and it's hard for them to compete with Wu Guo..."

"Although Tu'er is the youngest son of the widow, he is still young, his appearance and personality are similar to the widow's, and he has the wind of being a father."

"After the widow dies, you should support Lu Tu's succession, do your best, and serve him as if you were serving the widow. You should be loyal to him, eradicate disasters for him, protect my Jiang Qi community, and inherit the unfulfilled last wish of the widow."

"Wait, is it possible?"
