Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 827
"Will Your Majesty stop Tian Shi from replacing Qi?"

Fan Li asked rather puzzled.

Hearing this, Qingji just chuckled, and after eating one of Fan Li's "horses" with a "cannon", he said meaningfully: "How can I stop it?"

"With the death of Qi Jinggong, it is a foregone conclusion that the Tian family will replace Qi. However, I cannot tolerate a complete Qi country..."

"Your Majesty Yingming."

Basically, Fan Li could already guess Qingji's plan.

Split Qi!

For Wu Guo, this matter is of great benefit but no harm.

After successive battles, the state of Wu needs a period of time to recuperate, and must not fight frequently.

Therefore, even if Tian Qi wants to risk the world and usurp power, it is not convenient for Qing Ji to send troops directly to help Jiang Qi's office set things right.

However, this does not prevent Qingji from using his influence to split Qi and profit from it.

"My lord, the Central Plains is becoming more and more chaotic now."

Fan Li raised his hand to jump on the "horse", and after threatening Qingji's "handsome", he said with a smile: "Since the Battle of Huaishui, according to the agreement, Zheng State took the opportunity to annex Xu and Dun, and Song State also annexed Cao. country, occupying the fertile land of Taoyi."

"It's just that Zheng Bo and Song Gong are ambitious and plot to destroy Chen, and now the divisions of the two countries are actually fighting fiercely in Chen."

"Now, the envoys of Song and Zheng have come to Jinling, asking the king to make the decision. Has the king been avoiding it all this time?"

Qing Ji shook his head, took a sip of tea, and said, "The ownership of Chen Guo is not within the scope of the covenant, and I don't care about it."

At this time, Wu Guo was already a little bit powerless.

After the Battle of Huaishui, the State of Wu sent troops to the north, seized the lands of the eight vassal states of Ju, Xue, Zhu, Tan, Teng, Cai, Zhongwu, and Xu from the coalition forces, and set them up as counties.

At this time, the overlord Wu State did not have a vassal state under its name.

Tang State, which was originally a state within a state of Wu State, was also annexed accordingly. Like Cai State, it was reduced to a county and incorporated into Nanyang County.

As for the old places of the seven vassal states of Ju, Xue, Zhu, Tan, Teng, Zhongwu, and Xu, they have already been connected together and were established by Qingji as the No. 20 counties of the state of Wu——

Surabaya County!
After the addition of Sishui County, the 23 counties of Wu State are: Wu County, Kuaiji County, Jiujiang County, Sishui County, Minzhong County, Lujiang County, Cangwu County, Nanhai County, Xiang County, Guilin County, Nanjun, Nanyang County, Yuzhang County, Qianzhong County, Dian County, Jiaozhi County, Hanzhong County, Hengshan County, Wuling County, Sanchuan County, Ba County, Shu County, Sishui County.

In terms of population, Qing Ji estimates that the current population of Wu should exceed 200 million.

This is a conservative estimate taking into account the influence of multiple factors.

"Your Majesty, the final result may be that Chen Guo is divided up by Zheng and Song. Doesn't Your Majesty plan to take a share?"

"The widow should stop in moderation."

After eating one of Fan Li's "horses" with a "cannon", Qingji said slowly.

Qing Ji had expected the changes in the Central Plains a long time ago.

Now that Wu's national strength should not allow Qingji to make enemies on all sides.

Whether it is Zheng Guo or Song Guo, they are all Wu Guo's allies now.

Although allowing Zheng and Song to carve up the land of Chen will greatly increase their national strength, both of these two countries are bordered by Wu, and Wu has always pursued the national policy of making friends from a distance and attacking from a distance.

After that, Qingji waited until the state of Wu regained its vitality, fearing that it would definitely launch a war of annihilation against the states of Zheng and Song.

"Uncle Shao, what I am most worried about now is not Song and Zheng, but the Six Jins."

Qing Ji said earnestly: "After the Battle of Xiangling, Zhao Yang fled back to Zhao State, and united Zhongshan State, Wei State, South Korea to attack Fan State and Zhongxing State, and now even Zhi State has been involved."

"It will only take a year at most before the war will be resolved. Without foreign aid, Fan and Bank of China are bound to perish. I am afraid that even Zhiguo will not be spared."

Qing Ji can already foresee the result of the transformation of the Six Jins into the Three Jins.

After all, the three countries of Han, Zhao, and Wei all carried out some reforms, while the rest of the three Jins were still following the old-fashioned decrees and sticking to the rules, so the national power has not been significantly improved.

Once the Fan Kingdom and the Zhongxing Kingdom are destroyed, how can Zhiguo, which lacks foreign aid and does not think about making progress, "live"?
You know, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Jin have always been in the same spirit.

However, these are not things that Qingji has to consider at the moment.

"Uncle Shao, how long can the people of Qin last?"

Hearing this, Fan Li thought for a while, and then replied: "Qin is already overwhelmed."

"According to the king's orders, Sun Wu sent troops to capture the land of Weihan three months ago. Gong Zifan followed to block the passage to the Western Regions, strictly prohibited merchants from passing through, and harassed Yiqu, Wuzhi and other Xirong tribes from behind."

"During this period, the armies of the eight countries of Xirong have withdrawn."

"On the front line of the Weishui River, the Qin people continued to increase their troops. It is said that there are nearly 30 horses. However, the quality of the soldiers varies, and I am afraid they are unbearable."

Qing Ji said with a faint smile, "The time is ripe to destroy Qin in the first battle."

How to win the battle of Weishui, Qingji already has an idea.

Immediately afterwards, Qingji personally wrote an imperial edict, which was sent to Fengyi camp day and night.

……

"...Let Sun Tzu return to the capital immediately. Gong Zihong will succeed him as the general, and oversee the battle! As the law dictates—"

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army, Sun Wu led a group of generals to kneel down to welcome the imperial edict.

The servant in a black robe held a red-striped black edict in his hand, and read out the contents of the edict in a high-pitched voice.

Standing beside him was Young Master Hong, who was holding a sword, and his bodyguards.

As soon as the servant's words fell, the generals, including Sun Wu, couldn't help but change their colors.

It seems to have been hit by a bolt from the blue!
"Changing generals before the battle is a taboo among military strategists, doesn't the king know?"

"There must be a treacherous villain, slandering the king around him."

"Guowei is my Great Wu God of War. He uses soldiers like a god. Attacks must be conquered and battles must be won. Why do you remove the Guowei?"

"It's too much!"

The generals in the big tent of the Chinese army all showed dissatisfaction.

The servant who was in charge of reading the edict snorted coldly, glanced at Sun Wu, and said in a strange way: "Guo Wei, accept the edict?"

Sun Wu couldn't help smiling bitterly. After receiving the edict with both hands, he seemed to have aged more than ten years.

This sudden change caught Sun Wu off guard and made him feel very uncomfortable.

Was he finally under Qingji's suspicion?
"Could it be that your majesty has forgotten the Longzangpu alliance?"

After Sun Wu got up, he set his eyes on Gong Zihong.

The Longzangpu alliance was an oath that Sun Wu made with Qingji before going out to fight.

No matter what happens, if the war is not over, Qingji must not order Sun Wu's squadron to return to the court, or change generals...

However, Qingji obviously violated such a promise and backtracked on it!
