After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 339 The Heart of Hegemony
In the camp of Wu State.

Fu Chai, the king of Wu, looked at the map with a livid face. He had already received the news that the state of Chu sent envoys to communicate with the state of Han. The purpose was to marry Princess Ji Mi of the state of Chu to Meng Di as his wife. This is not a good thing .

In this way, if there is a tacit understanding between Chu State and Han State, then Wu State will be in danger, and now Han State's actions have revealed some unusual signals.

Yan He, who had been staying in Helu City for a long time, was suddenly recalled some time ago. Under such circumstances, anyone could understand that this was Han's next move against Wu.

At this time, Bo Pi observed the words and expressions, and seeing Wu Wang Fu Chai's expression was unfriendly, he thought for a while before speaking.

"If Your Majesty initiates a battle with Han at this time, I'm afraid the gains will outweigh the losses. If Chu sends troops to help Han, we may be cut off. So the best way now is to wait. Wait."

"On the one hand, we are actively preparing for the war and getting ready to deal with changes. On the other hand, if we really go to war, we must first attack the Chu country. We can only attack the Chu country with no strength to fight back. At that time, we will turn around and deal with the Han country. "

"At the same time, we will also send people to Yue to buy a large amount of grain, and Jin's envoys will come soon. They must come this time to discuss the matter of joining us to deal with Han."

"At that time, we can ask the Jin State to cooperate with us in sending troops to contain the Han State, and at the same time obtain more food from the Jin State. In this way, we will have no worries when we go to war with the Han State in the future."

Fu Chai, King of Wu, nodded slightly after listening, but his brows were still frowning. He knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to attack Han, he might not be able to take it down for a while. Guoxia surrendered to Mengdi.

The chariots under his command have now been sent to Pengcheng. Among other things, there are more than a thousand chariots in Pengcheng alone, and Tancheng has been training troops. Although the number is only tens of thousands, the city has already It was built very solidly.

Moreover, Ji Ran, a famous fisherman, sits in Tancheng. Under such circumstances, it is very feasible for Bo Pi to suggest attacking Chu State first and attacking Han State in reverse. emptiness.

The state of Yue can provide limited food. As for whether the Jin Congress will agree to this request, King Wu Fu Chai has no idea at all. It doesn't feel good that this situation is out of his control, Fu Chai said a little annoyed.

"This Jin country has always claimed to be the overlord of the Central Plains, and now it has just gone through civil strife, and its strength may be worse than we imagined. Whether it can be trusted or not is another matter. The most abominable thing is the Han country."

"It's unbearable to dare to do such a thing behind the scenes at this time. If we attack the Chu State aggressively, the Jin State will not be able to contain the Han State. At that time, the Han State will become a threat to us."

"If I knew this earlier, I should have sent troops to destroy the Han country. How could I have fallen into such a passive situation today? By the way, how long will it take for the envoys of the Jin country to arrive?"

At this time, Bo Pi felt a little disapproving. Although the Han State had won several victories when conquering the Jin State, the problem was that there was a coalition of princes at that time attracting the main force of the Jin State.

Meng Di just took advantage of this opportunity to win the victory, but Wu State is different. Since its rise, it has been through a series of victories that Wu State has become as strong as it is today. This is a real effort.

Therefore, Bo Pi is very confident in the combat effectiveness of Wu's army. After hearing this question, he said directly.

"The envoy of the Jin Kingdom should be able to arrive at our army's camp in about three days. In my opinion, when we put forward the conditions, the Jin Kingdom will definitely agree to them and will go all out."

"So you don't need to be so worried. Although the Han army is said to be relatively elite, it is full of forces. Their total strength does not exceed 20. This has reached the limit of the Han State, and the chariot soldiers alone account for it." Nearly 8 people."

"After the expansion of the cavalry, the total number of cavalry is roughly maintained at around 30. Even if the Han Kingdom undergoes a new round of military expansion, their strength will not exceed [-], and most of these soldiers have never been on the battlefield."

"The most elite of them are only the cavalry. As long as we find a way to defeat the Han cavalry, the others are nothing to worry about. It's just that Mengdi is good at using soldiers, so he is a bit difficult to deal with."

"Moreover, in the recent period of Han's foreign wars, a large number of people have been plundered. Under such circumstances, it has already shown that Han has ambitions to expand abroad, and the Emperor Zhou of Huaicheng they support is a confidant of Jin."

"Based on this point, the state of Jin will try its best to deal with the state of Han. Otherwise, when the state of Han sends the emperor of Zhou to Luoyi in the future, then the advantage of the state of Jin will be gone, and the status of the overlord of the world will be lost at that time." Will change hands."

"So to a certain extent, the state of Jin is more wary of the state of Han than we are, and now that the relationship between the state of Qi and the state of Han is getting closer, then our state of Wu will become the key to changing the whole situation."

King Wu Fuchai's face softened a little at this time. He felt that Bo Pi's words were very reasonable. After such an analysis, it seemed that the Han Kingdom, which seemed to be getting stronger and stronger on the surface, was nothing more than a strong foreign power but a strong middle class.

Otherwise, why did Meng Di always go out to fight with cavalry?According to the information obtained by Wu spies, most of Feiyi, Tancheng and Huaicheng trained infantry, and most likely they should be used to fight with chariots.

This is also very easy to understand. After all, there are already a lot of chariots in Pengcheng. At this time, Fu Chai set his sights on Gumi City, and then with a smile on his face, he opened his mouth slowly. Said.

"Then we will attack Chu State first, and then turn around and take down Gumi City. We will teach Han State a lesson first, and then we will also deter Yue State by the way, and let them bring out more food to share with us. The Wu army fought."

"At that time, without the help of the state of Chu, this king will have to see how long the state of Han can support us. This time our soldiers will point directly at Huai City. But before that, we have to make a condition to the people of the state of Jin, that is, Let them give up their supremacy."
