Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 914
It's March, spring is warm and flowers are blooming.

In a separate garden in the Imperial Garden of Xianyang Palace, as the celebration of King Wu, he sat in the pavilion and fished with great interest.

It stands to reason that when Wu and Zhao were at war, Qingji should be so busy that he couldn't get away.

However the fact is quite the opposite.

As the attacking side, Qing Ji only needs to control the overall situation from behind, there is no need to do everything personally, and care too much about the frontline battle.

This time, Wu State's strategic goal is to defeat Zhao State, eliminate the main force of Zhao people, and further reduce Zhao State's living space, so that Wu State can officially leave the customs in the future and launch a war to unify the world.

With the current size of the Wu Kingdom, an army of hundreds of thousands of people would go out to fight at every turn, and it would not hurt the muscles and bones. At most, it would only affect the spring plowing and this year's harvest.

Compared with Wu State, Zhao State is very bleak.

Because Zhao Guo is destined to be full of disasters and disasters this year.

Not only were most of the males going to the battlefield, the fields were abandoned, and the farming season was delayed. Moreover, the war took place in the country of Zhao, which made the people of Zhao doomed to have no crops. Many people might starve to death, and many people of Zhao would flee ...

At this moment, the one who was sitting in the pavilion fishing with Qingji was the queen, Ji Pai.

The queen, Ji Pai, was not happy to be loyal to such things as fishing, she just wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Qingji when she was free.

Xi Shi, Zheng Dan, Nan Zi, Zhu Di, Zhen Jiang, Ji Ying, Meng Ying and other concubines who were not far away were Yingying and Yanyan, admiring the flowers in the imperial garden in small groups.

This scene looks like a daughter's country.

Times have changed, and the concubines of Qingji have all become mature women.

However, there are also many concubines and concubines who are in their twenties, or at the age of Ji.

Even Qingji can't remember how many concubines and children he has now.

"No more fishing!"

Qingji had been fishing for a long time, but none of them bit the hook.

This made Qingji feel very depressed, and threw the fishing rod aside like a child.

"My lord, didn't you say that the fun of fishing lies in the process?"

Queen Ji Pao smiled and said, "It's just that you can't catch fish, so why is your majesty so angry?"

"Queen, the widow usually fishes here. According to the time, I have already caught more than a dozen fish. Now I haven't caught a single one. How can you make the widow feel so bad?"

"Pfft!"

Seeing Qingji's sullen look, Queen Ji Pa couldn't help but smile, and said, "Your Majesty, I forgot to tell you. You thought fishing in the Imperial Garden was too easy and not difficult."

"So, two days ago, the concubine decided to let people only put twenty fish in this lake. It all depends on luck."

"..."

Qingji was speechless.

He looked up again, and Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, who were standing by the lake near the rockery, were chatting and laughing, and they were actually feeding fish food into the lake with great interest...

It would be amazing if Qingji could catch a fish!

At this time, the CRRC mansion ordered Jiao Hua to enter the imperial garden, bowed to Qingji and said, "Your Majesty, Doctor Yu Shi please see me."

"Let him in."

"promise!"

Not long after, Fan Li, who was a doctor of imperial history, hurried into this other garden with a memorial, and saluted Qingji respectfully.

Seeing Fan Li walking in such a hurry, Qingji had an ominous premonition.

"My lord, this is the battle report sent by Zhang Gongzi Pegasus."

Qing Ji took the battle report and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning.

"My lord, is this good news?"

Queen Ji Pao asked curiously.

"It's a good news, but it's also a bad news."

"what?"

Queen Ji Pao was taken aback.

"Your Majesty, how do you say this?"

"Queen, take a look for yourself, this is our good son."

Qingji showed the battle report in his hand to Queen Ji Pai to have a look.

After browsing through the contents of the battle report, Queen Ji Pai couldn't help but lose her face, and said tremblingly: "My... Your Majesty, how dare Zhang Er do this?"

"He's very brave."

Even though Queen Ji Pao is a woman, she also understands what Gongzi Zhang is going to do.

Being in the hinterland of Zhao State, surrounded by enemy soldiers on all sides, even the [-] to [-] elite iron cavalry under Gongzi Zhang's command may not be able to hold on.

"Your Majesty, the Black Ice Terrace has reported that the people of Zhongshan have agreed to send troops to rescue Zhao. I guess that the first target of the coalition forces of the Zhao people and the Zhongshan people must be the Wu army who is sticking to Qi County... Mr. Zhang is in danger."

Fan Li sighed and said, "Before, there was a rush of time, and Zhao State had not left the country empty, so all the soldiers and horses were assembled. Now, Mr. Zhang led his troops to attack Qi County, and Qi County is the link between Jinyang and Zhao State. The only way to pass through the land is the food road of Zhao Jun!"

"The people of Zhao will never tolerate it. When their food road is blocked, they will definitely take back Qi County at all costs and wipe out the troops under Mr. Zhang."

Qingji frowned and asked, "Young Uncle, how many people do you think the Zhao people can have?"

"It can range from [-] to as many as [-]. In addition to the coalition forces of the Zhongshan people, if they only attack Qi County, I estimate that there should be no less than [-] cavalry."

"..."

Queen Ji Pai was so frightened that her face turned pale, she hurriedly grabbed Qingji's arm, and said in a pleading tone, "Your Majesty, you can't just ignore death."

"This time, Zhang'er is good at specialization, but in Qi County, there are nearly [-] elite cavalry from my Great Wu. Zhang'er is your son. Your Majesty must not take it lightly."

Queen Ji Pao is eager to love her son.

However, Qingji remained unmoved.

"If you can save Wu Zhang, why don't you want to save him? This son... is stupid!"

Qing Ji slowly closed his eyes, and said: "He is eager for quick success, not to mention greedy for quick success, but he lacks a big picture."

"Now that things are up to now, why does my country of Wu need soldiers to make dangerous moves? If the center is blooming and surrounded on all sides, doesn't he know how to assess the situation?"

"It doesn't matter if he wants to die, how can he bring my [-] elite iron cavalry from Dawu to be buried with him?"

"Stupid! Reckless!"

No wonder Qingji would say such angry words.

This time, Gong Zizhang was really too reckless.

Blooming in the center and surrounded on all sides, this is indeed the tactic Qingji taught Gong Zizhang.

However, it is not used in this way.

Center blooming is a tactic.

First attack the key or vital parts of the enemy's center, and then expand the results to the surrounding areas.

Or use one's own side as a bait, stick to a certain strategic area, lure the enemy's troops to move towards one's own side, cooperate with friendly and neighboring troops to carry out anti-encirclement against the enemy, and when the time is right, cooperate with friendly and neighboring troops to attack the enemy's tactics.

This can be regarded as an excellent tactic.

However, barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes.

Now the state of Wu is wearing shoes, while the state of Zhao is barefoot.

Gong Zizhang captured Qi County and blocked Zhao Jun's grain road. How could the Zhao people not fight him desperately?
In the final analysis, Qingji's idea at the beginning was not to fight a quick battle with Zhao Guo, but to fight a protracted tug-of-war.

Zhao Guo, as a military power, can't consume Wu Guo, who has long been a superpower.
