Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 93
After all, Shen Yinshu is still the great-grandson of King Zhuang of Chu, a Miao descendant of the Chu Kingdom, and a generation of famous generals with illustrious military exploits. He is quite famous in the Chu Kingdom and has excellent popularity!

In addition, Shen Zhuliang himself was also a young hero who became famous at a young age and was placed high hopes by the people of Chu.

So Meng Ying thought about it, and after weighing the pros and cons, he still felt that Shen Zhuliang was not to be blamed, and Shen Yinshu was not to be prosecuted for the crime of losing his teacher and humiliating the country!

The coffin where Shen Yinshu's body was sent by the Wu people had also been buried outside the capital, hastily buried.

"Shen Zhuliang, please send more reinforcements to Qianyi in order to defeat the invading Wu army. I wonder if the second and third sons think so?"

Meng Ying did not choose Gan Gang to be arbitrary, but let a group of officials and officials discuss together.

Hearing this, the ministers under His Majesty's platform all whispered to each other and started whispering.

Not long after, Ling Yin Nangwa came out first and said: "Your Majesty, Guotai, I think that we can't go to war any more and reinforce Qianyi. There are thousands of soldiers and horses in Qianyi, and the soldiers and food are enough to defend Qianyi without any danger!"

"As for Shen Zhuliang's proposal to increase troops, in such a hurry, how many soldiers and horses can the Chu State have to reinforce Qianyi?"

"The Wu army is brutal and invincible for the time being. His father, Shen Yinshu, led [-] people, and all of them were lost in Wu, let alone Shen Zhuliang? It is not easy for him to hold on to Qianyi, why is he greedy for merit?"

After a pause, Nangwa said again: "Furthermore, if Wu's army fails to attack Qiancheng, it will definitely be exhausted and weakened, so it will retreat on its own. Why should our country of Chu lose its troops and generals, and add new elements to every household?"

"Ling Yin's intention is to let Chu State give up Shudi and the cities along the river?"

Zixi was very dissatisfied with Nangwa's claim.

"It's not."

Nang Wa shook his head and said, "This Ling Yin just thinks that the state of Chu must not be eager for quick success! The Wu army has been unable to attack Qiancheng for a long time, and when they are poor, they will be defeated without a fight. How can they gain a firm foothold in Shudi?"

"Wouldn't it be great if the time is right for us, the Chu Kingdom, to gather an army to defeat the Wu army in one fell swoop and regain the lost ground?"

Hearing this, the senior officials in the court could not help but nodded slightly, expressing their agreement.

It is best to be able to defeat others without fighting!
It would be great to minimize the casualties of the Chu army and reduce the loss of the Chu country in the war!

After all, whenever the Chu State went to war with other countries, the lords from all over the country would send out troops, food, fodder and supplies, and had to respond to the call of the King of Chu.

Everyone has money to give money, and some people give people!
It would be fine if the battle was won, but once the battle was defeated, the soldiers, horses, money and food of the feudal lords would be in vain, with no benefit at all.

How can this make them do such a thankless thing?

"What Ling Yin said is great!"

Zixi squinted and scolded: "Do you know that soldiers are valuable and fast? The opportunity to fight is fleeting! If you don't take advantage of the time when Wu's army is weak, you can wipe out the invading enemy in one fell swoop."

"In time, the state of Wu will send additional reinforcements, and Chu and Wu will fight to the death. How will the state of Chu behave then?"

"Mr. Shen's words are wrong!"

Nangwa sneered, and said: "Chu is a big country, a country of hegemony, even if it loses [-] teachers, how can it be compared with the mere country of Wu?"

"Now the Wu army that is attacking Chu is poor, but still full of vigor, yet Mr. Shen instigates the soldiers of the king and the country to fight and let the soldiers die in vain. What's the reason?"

"you!"

Zixi said bitterly: "Ling Yin, the national strength of Chu and Wu cannot be compared in the same breath. However, Wu's army is fierce and has fought with our Chu army for many years. They often win more with less, and win more and lose less. How can it be nothing to worry about? "

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Guo!"

Zixi turned around again, bowed to Xiong Zhen and Meng Ying who were on the majesty's platform, and said, "I have already found out clearly that the Wu army that attacked Chu was only [-] people. Our state of Chu, with all its strength, can at least There are more than [-] soldiers and horses at every turn!"

"However, there is no need for [-]. I believe that with Shen Zhuliang's ability, sending more than [-] more people can hold back the Wu army, and even defeat the Wu army, turning defeat into victory!"

Hearing this, Meng Ying could not help nodding his head slightly.

Compared with Ling Yin Nangwa, in fact, Meng Ying would rather believe in Zixi in his mind!
Gai Yinxi is a true gentleman, a generation of famous ministers with ancient virtuous demeanor!
Zixi was the concubine son of the late King Ping of Chu and the elder brother of Xiong Zhen.

After the death of King Ping of Chu, the ministers of Chu State headed by Nang Wa wanted to support the elder Zixi as King of Chu, but Zixi sternly refused!
It's just because he doesn't want Chu to be in turmoil again!
Such a high-minded Zixi is undoubtedly extremely prestigious in the hearts of Chu people.

Therefore, Meng Ying was also very grateful to Zixi, and named him Zhu Guo and Zuo Tu, alongside Ling Yin Nangwa, to manage the state affairs together.

"Humph!"

Nangwa snorted coldly, glared at Zixi and said, "Young Master Shen, as you said, it is not difficult to add more than [-] troops to Qianyi. But, how can you ensure that Shen Zhuliang will not be defeated by the Wu army and repeat his mistakes?" What happened to father Shen Yinshu?"

"Or, how dare you guarantee that the Wu Congress will not increase its troops again?"

Hearing this, Zixi smiled calmly and said: "I believe in Shen Zhuliang's ability, and I am willing to guarantee him with my life and wealth! If Shen Zhuliang is defeated, I, Xiong Shen, am willing to die to apologize!"

"As for the increase of Wu's troops? It's absolutely impossible!"

Zixi said loudly: "Wu's army has fought repeatedly, the people's livelihood in the country is in dire straits, and the country's power has already been emptied! No matter how dull Wu Wang Qingji is, it is impossible to recklessly increase his troops to attack Chu!"

As soon as the words fell, all the officials and officials couldn't help but nodded.

Nangwa was also stunned by Zixi, unable to speak.

Seeing this, Guotai Mengying immediately made a decision: "In this case, we will recruit troops from the neighboring cities of Juchao, Jifu, and Yingshi, and reinforce Qianyi as soon as possible. All the food, grass, and luggage consumed in the battle will be provided by the government. !"

"The country is too wise!"

Seeing that Meng Ying had made a verdict, the ministers immediately agreed.

At the same time, Qingji, who was far away in Wudu, also received the memorial from Sun Ping, and felt hesitant for a while.

Sun Ping just asked Qingji to increase his troops before, but now he thinks that the Wu army is no longer able to fight anymore, so he asks Qingji to withdraw his troops and negotiate peace with Chu!

For a while, it was really hard for Qingji to accept.

He locked himself in the Zide Hall for half a day without making up his mind.

As a last resort, Qingji could only summon his three confidant ministers, Ji Zha, Sun Wu and Bo Tong, to Zide Hall for discussion!

"Your Majesty, withdraw your troops and discuss peace with Chu State!"

Ji Zha sighed and said: "It is really wrong for the king to seek the land of Chu west of the great river at this time. Like the land of Shu, it sometimes goes to Wu, sometimes to Chu, and it is vacillating. The disciples, the two ends of the first rat!"

"If Wu's army loses, I'm afraid that we will turn back and put our Wu division in a difficult situation."

"My lord, think twice!"

Ji Zha has always been a peacemaker, so it's not surprising that he should celebrate his claims.
