Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 930
In the past month, a lot of things have happened in Xianyang.

For example, Fan Li's family members were almost hijacked by unknown persons.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the Wu army guarding the city gate sensed something was wrong, and after some questioning, they were all detained, which saved Fan Li's family from possible accidents.

At this time, Qingji was discussing with Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Tian Rangju and other Wu army generals that it would be more appropriate to set the decisive battle there.

"My lord, the coalition forces don't dare to attack rashly now. Our army has 40 troops, and the coalition army has more than 60 horses. The enemy and our armies have more than one million soldiers. This is an unprecedented war."

Sun Wu frowned and said: "If the decisive battle is placed in an open area, although it will be beneficial for our great Wu cavalry to gallop freely, it will not be easy to win in a single battle."

"Protracted fighting is not good for morale."

"If the allied forces' morale can be dampened, causing the princes to lose their troops and lose their generals, and there is no profit to be made, then the princes' divisions will retreat, and the crisis in front of our great Wu can be easily resolved."

Hearing this, Qingji shook his head and said, "Sun Wu, I don't want to fight a rout. What I want to fight is a war of annihilation."

"If my country, Wu, wins this battle, within three to five years at the most, I will wipe out all the nations and rule the world!"

This is not a false statement.

Qi, Lu, Song, Wei, and Yan have a coalition of 10 troops, if the entire army is wiped out.

No, even if it is only half of the loss, it is enough to seriously damage the vitality of the five countries, and it will greatly reduce Wu's resistance in the war of unification.

"Your Majesty, if it is a battle of defeat, I suggest that the battlefield be placed in the area of ​​Yingze. If it is a battle of annihilation, it is still necessary to find a narrow terrain, put the coalition forces in it, and lure the enemy into it, and then attack with the whole army to wipe out all the enemy troops in it." .”

Sun Wu thought for a while, then pointed to the "Li Mountain" on the sand table, which was far away from Yecheng, and said: "Beside the Huan River, there is a Li Mountain and Gongji Ridge, surrounded by two mountains, Huan River in the north, and three sides. presents a narrow terrain."

"Although it is not conducive to the iron cavalry, it is the most ideal place for ambushes."

Qing Ji frowned and said, "Now, the biggest problem is how to lead the enemy into Lishan and Gongjiling."

"..."

All the generals fell silent.

Among the Allied Forces of the Five Nations, there are many people of insight and talented generals. It is impossible for them to be stupid enough to fall into the trap dug by Wu Jun.

Tian Rangju said: "Your Majesty, it is better to let the minister lead the former army to fight the coalition army. After feigning defeat, then lead the enemy army into the encirclement and wait for an opportunity to annihilate them."

"inappropriate."

Qing Ji shook his head and said: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. The generals of the coalition army are too familiar with you, and they understand our Wu army's tactics quite well. Most of the coalition forces will not be fooled by such a bluff."

"Even if the coalition forces are really fooled, they dare not send too many soldiers and horses to pursue them."

"In this way, our army wasted an excellent opportunity to wipe out the enemy."

This is where it bothers everyone the most.

Especially what Qingji asked to fight was a war of annihilation.

At this time, Qingji suddenly had an idea and said, "I have a plan, it should work."

"The front line of Huan River has become a place where the enemy and our armies will compete."

"This is a place of victory, and it is now under the control of our army. However, this is only an outpost of our Wu army, and it does not have the conditions for the enemy to attack."

"In order to attract the enemy's invasion, the widow's intention is to set up granaries in Lishan and Gongjiling, and at the same time not place heavy troops, and give up one of the positions to the enemy."

Hearing this, Wu Zixu frowned and asked, "My lord, is this too risky?"

"Losing a position is insignificant, and our army can regain it."

"However, how can the enemy believe it is true? Could it be that the king really wants to stockpile food in Lishan or Gongji Ridge and give up the position and food to the enemy?"

Qingji nodded and said, "Small intolerance can lead to big plans."

"Tian Rangju."

"Chen is here!"

"Immediately lead [-] troops and station them in Lishan. Build granaries and camps. Be sure to make a big show of your presence so that the enemy's scouts can see you as much as possible."

"promise!"

"Gou Jian."

"Chen is here!"

"You immediately lead [-] troops to Jinji Ridge, and build granaries and camps without delay."

"promise!"

Qingji put his eyes on Wu Zixu again, and said, "Wu Yuan."

"Chen is here!"

"You lead [-] cavalry, stationed on the north bank of Huan River, and build fortifications along the bank to prepare for any eventuality."

"promise!"

Qingji thought for a while, looked around for a while, and finally said meaningfully: "Everyone retreats, Bo Tong...you stay."

"promise!"

……

Three days later, a bruised and embarrassed figure appeared in the camp of the coalition army, and met Qi Wang Lu Ren and the princes and officials of the other four countries.

"Uncle, is it really you?"

All the monarchs and ministers present were no strangers to Bo Tong.

After all, Bo Tong has been on diplomatic missions to various countries all the year round, and has dealt with them more or less.

"You are this?"

Everyone looked at Bo Tong in front of them, and they were a little dumbfounded and puzzled.

I saw that Bo Tong's whole body was covered with scars, and blood was overflowing. His forehead, neck, back, chest and other parts were all traces of whipping. This kind of injury is not usually serious.

From Bo Tong's expression gasping for air in pain, we can see how painful it is.

When Bo Tong saw Tian Heng's question, he gritted his teeth and said, "This is all thanks to Qingji!"

"Second and third sons, I think of my uncle, who worked hard for the celebration of Ji, exhausted his life's strength, and was loyal and loyal. It can be said that he is like a bull and a horse!"

"He was able to destroy Yue Tun Chu, conquer the princes, and achieve such an unworldly feat. Even if I don't have any credit, I still have hard work!"

"But, how did he treat me?"

"Prince Heng recently purged officials in Xianyang, confiscated the property of many ministers, and put them and their families in prison. My uncle's wife and children will not be spared!"

After a pause, Bo Tong said in grief and indignation: "Even Prince Heng sent someone to the front to report my actions to King Wu Qingji."

"In a fit of rage, Qingji wanted to put me in prison and imprison me temporarily."

"I couldn't get angry for a while, and I cursed at him a few times. I hate Qingji, but he didn't think about the old relationship at all. He ordered someone to flog me a hundred times, and almost beat me to death!"

"After I was imprisoned, I was lucky enough to be rescued by my cronies, so I escaped from Ye County and defected all the way to Chaoge, and I asked King Qi to accept me."

"Bo Tong is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and do the work of a dog and a horse for King Qi!"

Hearing this, including Lu Ren, all the princes, high officials and officials present could not help feeling suspicious.

This uncle is indeed a rare talent.

Similarly, Bo Tong is also a treacherous official and a greedy person.

It has long been no secret among the nations that Bo Tong is greedy for money and often accepts bribes.

Now that the Dongchuang incident is revealed, Qingji will be severely punished, which is also reasonable.

Just, why is this the case?
At this juncture, if Qingji wants to punish Bo Tong, who is a general in the army, isn't he afraid of causing trouble?
