Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 871 Make the princes serve Wu

The next day, Qingji moved Jiuding and Zhou Tianzi Jigai to Xianyang.

Along with Ji Gai, there were many ministers of the royal family of Zhou.

Since Qingji was free to stay or stay, some of the princes and officials of the Zhou royal family had already fled.

As for the feudal states and cities under the rule of the royal family of Zhou, they became part of the state of Wu under the "changing king banner at the head of the city".

The Zhou royal family, which existed for more than 500 years, in a real sense, existed in name only.

Although Qingji did not deprive Ji Gai of the title of Son of Heaven, but Ji Gai, who moved to Xianyang to live under the fence, is bound to become a powerless puppet...

At this time, Qingji was in the palace in Luoyi, receiving the envoy Dou Nian sent by Zhao Yang.

"My minister congratulates the King of Wu, congratulations to the King of Wu!"

With a flattering expression on his face, Dou Nian smiled and saluted Qingji: "The King of Wu occupies the Nine Tripods, holds the records, and coerces the Son of Heaven to command the world. The princes dare not obey!"

"This emperor's career can make Wu Wang far surpass Qi Heng and Jin Wen, and be comparable to Tang Zhou Wu!"

Hearing this, Qingji just smiled faintly, and said, "Douzi, now, how dare you compare yourself with Cheng Tang and Zhou Wu?"

"Jiuding and the Son of Heaven were just moved to Xianyang by the widow to protect them."

"I don't dare to be arrogant and become a holy king like Cheng Tang and Zhou Wu."

Dou Nian lowered his head and said, "King Wu is too modest."

"Dou Zi, why are you meeting the widow this time?"

At this time, with the fall of Xinzheng City, the coalition forces of Han and Zhao attacked the city all the way and occupied all the cities of Zheng State.

Wu Zixu had also led the Wu army to destroy Anyi City, and the monarch and ministers of Wei had to flee in a hurry, and their whereabouts were temporarily unknown.

Qingji can still guess Dou Nian's intention.

It is conceivable that Zhao Yang did not dare to start a war with Wu, so he planned to resolve this war in a peaceful way.

"King Wu, to tell you the truth, I have been ordered by the king, and I have come here to ask King Wu to stop fighting."

Dou Nian said slowly: "Han, Zhao, Wei, and the Jin Dynasty are all in the same spirit. I think you should know, King Wu."

"Three Jins are not necessarily equal to the former overlord Jin, but in terms of national power, they have already surpassed Jin."

"Wu State is certainly the largest and most powerful country in the world. It is really unwise to be an enemy of the Three Jins."

"What's more, this time the king of Wu seized the land of the Zhou family and moved away Jiuding and the emperor, I'm afraid it will provoke anger and resentment, and thousands of people will criticize it."

"Countries such as Lu, Wei, Yan, etc., I am afraid that they will send troops to attack Wu intentionally."

"So, can Wu Neng fight?"

Hearing this, Qingji smiled lightly and said, "Dou Zi, what do you mean by your words, are you threatening me?"

"My minister dare not."

Dou Nian quickly shook his head and said, "My minister just wants King Wu to think twice."

"The state of Wu has become the target of public criticism, and I am afraid that it will be unbearable to fight for a long time."

"If King Wu can admit the fact that the state of Zheng was destroyed, allow the land of Zheng to be divided among Han, Zhao, and Wei, and make the Wu army withdraw from the territory of Wei. Then the Three Jins will definitely follow the lead of King Wu in the future, and all countries will attack Wu. will not happen."

"Isn't it beautiful that the world is peaceful and peaceful?"

Qingji glanced at Dou Nian coldly, and said, "Dou Nian, I have eaten food in my stomach, and you still want me to spit it out?"

"The army of the Three Jins must withdraw from the land of Zheng, and admit the fact that Wu Guo occupied the city and land. If not, I will send a large army to attack the Three Jins!"

Dou Nian gritted his teeth, and said, "Is the King of Wu not afraid of the death of fish?"

"When the fish dies, the net does not necessarily break."

Qingji squinted his eyes and said, "The allied armies of the princes attacked Wu more than once, which time did they take advantage?"

"If you dare to come, I will teach you whether to come or not!"

"..."

Dou Nian was silent.

He didn't expect Qingji's attitude to be so firm.

Nothing to talk about?

……

After Dou Nian left, Qingji just wanted to take a rest, when he heard the report from Suwei, saying that Sun Wu, the state captain, asked to see him.

"My lord, do you really want to fight the coalition forces of the Three Jins, or even the coalition forces of the princes?"

Sun Wu asked a question.

"What's wrong?"

"inappropriate."

Sun Wu shook his head and said: "In the past, every time we fought against the coalition forces of the lords, our country of Wu would run out of treasury, and almost every family had nothing. How tragic is it?"

"Since the king can't devour the princes, why not nibble one by one?"

Hearing this, Qingji was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "If you cannibalize the princes one by one. Changqing, you and the widow may not be able to see the day when Wu dominates the world in your lifetime."

"Your Majesty, you can't do anything, why force it?"

Sun Wu sighed and said: "I have a strategy, which may save our country of Wu from danger."

"Are you asking the widow to admit the fact that Zheng land was divided by the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei, and make the army withdraw from Wei?"

"Not really."

Sun Wu said slowly: "Your Majesty, the land of Hexi must belong to the State of Wu."

"The state of Zheng has been destroyed. Even if the king supports a new king of the state of Zheng, I am afraid that he will not be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains and will eventually be annexed by other countries."

"That's why, Your Majesty doesn't need to spend a lot of trouble."

Peace of mind?
This time, Wu Guo captured the land of Hexi, plus the territory of the Zhou royal family, which can be said to have made a lot of money.

Qingji didn't mind that the army withdrew from Anyi and returned some cities and lands to Wei State.

However, it must not be so "scribbled"!
Even before the battle, Qingji voluntarily returned Wei's territory, is it justified?
"Changqing, what good does this do for my country of Wu? Is it just that we can't easily fight?"

"not only that."

Sun Wu said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, taking this opportunity, my country of Wu can divide the three Jins and make the princes serve Wu."

"How?"

Qingji was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty, you can stand still for the time being and send envoys to sign a letter of state with Wei Jun first. Make Wei Guo recognize the fact that Wu Guo occupies the land of Hexi, and return sixteen cities including Pishi, Jiao, and Fenyang to Wei Guo, but remove its people."

"Furthermore, Your Majesty can make the State of Wei send its crown prince to Wu as a hostage, so that Lord Wei can drive away the ministers of the State of Zhao in the country and alienate the State of Zhao."

Sun Wu said with a smile: "It's not very useful to only occupy the land but not the people."

"Your Majesty can make Wei serve Qin first and the feudal lords follow suit. He should send a highly respected and capable minister to serve as Wei's minister, and then find a way to win over South Korea and make the feudal lords serve Wu."

"good."

Straightforward strategy?
This made Qingji agree very much.

After all, Qingji was the first to create this kind of continuous strategy.

But Sun Wu can learn and apply it flexibly now, and draw inferences from one instance, which is really not easy.

"Changqing, who do you think is more suitable to be Minister Wei?"

"Wen Zhong, Fan Li, Bo Tong, and Yang Hu are all acceptable, and ministers can also take up the post."

Those recommended by Sun Wu are all as cunning as foxes.

Qingji also believed that they could indeed take on this great task.

"If you can make the princes serve Wu, why don't you be 'generous' once?"

Qingji smiled and said, "Mr. Changqing, it is up to you to meet Wei Jun, persuade him to serve Wu, make Wen Zhong Minister of Wei, and hand over the land of Hexi."

"promise!"

The existence of Sun Tzu is no less than a "nuclear bomb", and all countries dare not act rashly.

The people of Wei didn't even dare to be unfavorable to Sun Wu!

With Sun Wu in charge, this matter must be twice the result with half the effort.
