Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 957

Qing Ji said earnestly: "You must live well and strive for the day when I, Great Wu, wipe out all the countries and rule the world."

Hearing this, Ji Ran nodded and said: "I hope so. Your Majesty, I still have a last wish, please fulfill it."

"Say."

"I was born in the Song Dynasty, but I don't see the same in Kyushu. If one day, the Great Wu destroys the Song Dynasty, please bury the clothes and crowns of the minister in the hometown of the Song Dynasty, and it will be regarded as the return of the leaves."

Ji Ran smiled and said: "When the world is unified, please send someone to the minister's grave to inform. In this way, the minister will really have no regrets."

"it is good."

Qingji nodded heavily.

Ji Ran can be said to be from the Song Dynasty, from Kuiqiu in the Song Dynasty.

His ancestors were troubled nobles who fled from Jin to Song.

Appears to be mediocre and dull, but he has been very studious since he was a child, and reads a lot of books, just like the saying that a wise man is like a fool.

Ji Ran often observes and learns from nature, and is good at knowing the law of the development of things and other people's thoughts from the beginning of things.

The ancients all paid attention to the return of leaves to their roots.

Ji Ran agrees that he is from Wu and his status as a minister of Wu, but at the same time, Ji Ran also wants to go back to his hometown to have a look, at least he can be buried in his hometown after death.

At this time, Qingji and Jiran spoke some more personal words, telling each other their hearts.

If you talk about it, it will be endless.

In view of this, Ji Ran could only let out a long sigh and said, "Your Majesty, go back. I'm going to take my leave."

"Ji Ran, the widow is watching you go. Take care."

"promise."

After Ji Ran saluted Qing Ji for the last time, he turned around slowly, his eyes were already moist.

In order to prevent Qingji from seeing his sad appearance, Ji Ran could only hold his head up, and slowly got on the donkey's back, and then let the little book boy lead the donkey through the official road in the pine forest, all the way to the south and go.

Qing Ji, Prince Heng, Fan Li, Wen Zhong and other officials who rushed over all looked at Ji Ran's back and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Listen."

Qingji pointed to the pine forest, and said with a slightly sad expression: "Tomorrow, I will cut down all the forest in front of you."

"Father, why... why did you cut down that forest?"

Qingji turned around and said slowly, "It blocks Ji Zi's figure."

"promise!"

……

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Wei...is dead."

In the Zide Hall, Qing Ji, who was playing Go with Fan Li, suddenly received such an urgent report.

The Kingdom of Wei has perished?

After reading the emergency report, Qingji immediately summoned Fan Li, Wen Zhong, Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, Tian Rangju and other ministers to Zide Hall to discuss countermeasures.

Holding the report in his hand, Qingji said with a smirk: "I thought I was despicable enough, but I didn't expect that people from Qi would be even more despicable and shameless, with no bottom line."

"About three days ago, Tian Heng, the left prime minister of the Qi State, led his army to break through Emperor Qiu, the capital of Wei."

"Weiguo is dead."

"hiss!"

Such news shocked all the ministers.

Wen Zhong was very surprised and said: "Your Majesty, this is so good, why did Qi State destroy Wei? Even though Wei State is relatively weak in national strength, it is impossible for the people of Qi to destroy Wei in a single battle without any rumors in advance."

"It's not that there is no wind."

Qing Ji said slowly: "According to the secret report I received before, the people of Qi sent troops to the south bank of Jishui under the pretext of helping the country of Wei resist the invasion of our Wu army and Zhongshan country."

"Di Qiu was killed by the people of Qi without any precaution."

"..."

Qing Ji, who was informed in advance, did not take any countermeasures.

Obviously, Qing Ji acquiesced in the Qi people's extermination of Wei.

Throughout the ages, this has been the case for princes fighting for hegemony.

Just like Chu State, if it is beaten badly by Wu State and loses its city and land, it is bound to find its place from other vassal states and capture several cities in other countries to replenish blood.

The current state of Qi is also like this.

"Your Majesty, if the Qi State destroys the guards, the national power will definitely increase a lot. Your Majesty has summoned the ministers to come, do you want to discuss the matter of sending troops to weaken Qi?"

Wen Zhong asked curiously.

"No, the widow did not take the matter of Qi's extermination of the guards to heart."

Qing Ji smiled lightly, and said, "No matter how strong a sheep is, it will always be a sheep, and it is impossible to reinvent itself and become a tiger wolf."

It's not that Qing Ji is arrogant.

Rather, since the Battle of Huanshui, the four vassal states of Qi, Lu, Song, and Wei have basically been defeated by Wu State, and their elite teachers have all lost, so it is difficult to recover.

In ten or eight years, like Qi, the military power could not be restored to the level before the war.

Miewei is just a method of Qi State drinking poison to quench thirst.

Qingji's original plan was to think that the Wu Kingdom would recuperate for a few years, and then go east again. With an invincible momentum, they would wipe out all the countries in one fell swoop and unify China and Kyushu.

However, the people of Qi "worked so hard" to restore their national strength, how could Qingji remain indifferent?

"What the king said is very true."

Yushi Zhongcheng Uncle smiled flatteringly and said, "Qi's extermination of Wei is nothing but self-destruction."

"Not to mention whether my great Wu can tolerate it, Lu, Song, Yan, and even Zhongshan, which are close to Qi, will feel timid and dare not get close to Qi people."

"That's why the people of Qi exterminate the guards, they are severing themselves from the world!"

Hearing this, Qingji laughed loudly and said, "Hahahaha! Bo Tong, you are right, it is indeed so."

"Among the princes, everyone is in danger. In the future, when I send troops to destroy Qi, I think Lu and Song may not necessarily send troops to help."

Admittedly, this is a more optimistic idea.

But now with Wu's strength, all the countries in the world are tied together, and it is no longer possible to stop Wu from dominating the world.

If the countries are given time to restore their national strength, it will add a lot of resistance to Wu's subsequent unification war, that's all.

"The widow came to you this time to discuss the matter of going east to wipe out the nations."

"This……"

Wen Zhong bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, are you acting too hastily? Last year, when Wu defeated Zhao, we also launched the Battle of Huanshui. The national strength was greatly depleted. Continue to rest and recuperate."

"In the battle of Huanshui, my great Wu did suffer a lot of losses, but Qi, Lu, Song, and Yan lost all their elite troops, and the rest were old and weak soldiers, not worth mentioning, and their national strength was almost exhausted. Added together, it is difficult to compete with my great Wu."

Qing Ji said earnestly: "If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to send troops, including Ju Yunei, to rule the world, wouldn't it be more difficult for us to go east and destroy all nations in the future?"

It is undeniable that, compared with the current size of Wu State and the sum of the sizes of other countries, Wu State is completely crushed.

Slowly developing, the countries are also inferior to Wu, and the speed of development is not as fast as Wu.

However, Qingji couldn't wait any longer!

Even though the foundation of the Wu Kingdom is not deep, and it may collapse with his own death in the future, Qing Ji is willing to go all out.
