After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 390 Pre-War Planning
After saying this, Ji Ran's finger directly touched Zhongli, with a confident smile on his face.

"At that time, Chen He, Yang Hu, and Huang Ye can be divided into three groups. Chen He will attack Zhongli and go to the Liuhe area, and Huang Ye will stabilize Yi Hu, so that Yang Hu can take Wu State in Chu State as quickly as possible. territory, and then defended it in Boju.”

"After Huangye has stabilized Yihu, we can communicate with Yanghu. Chu is currently in civil strife, and there is no way to regain the old land. This is the best time for us to win this territory."

"On the front line of Tancheng, although our strength is not dominant, the cavalry has high mobility and can entangle the Wu army so that they can't escape, buying more time with Chen He, while our infantry started with Defensively."

"After the morale of the Wu army drops, find out the right opportunity, and then send the infantry to attack directly, trying to defeat the Wu army in one battle, and then send the cavalry behind, chasing the infantry behind, but we'd better chase it to the Yunyang area. "

"Gou Jian, king of Yue, has been forbearing all these years. Presumably he will seize this opportunity to launch an attack on Wu, so there is no need for us to turn against Yue at this time. When the time comes, Han will become stronger."

"The State of Yue will definitely set its goal above the State of Chu. In any case, we and the State of Chu are related by marriage. It is best not to do anything without a suitable reason, and it will take a few years for us to win the State of Wu time to digest."

"It's just a matter of taking this opportunity to cause some friction between the Yue Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom. This is in our best interest. I don't know what your lord thinks about this?"

After Mengdi heard this, he shook his head and laughed lightly, and said with some self-mockery.

"Compared with Mr.'s strategy, my idea seems a little trivial. My original idea was to join forces with Chen He to form a pincer attack on Wu Jun, and try to defeat Wu Jun in the shortest time."

"Then turn around and use our cavalry to quickly take down as much territory as possible under the Wu State Station, but if this is the case, it is inevitable that Chu State and Yue State will take the opportunity to occupy a large area of ​​territory."

"So it's the master's strategy, which is more secure, and after such a long period of repairs in Zhongcheng and Tancheng, and the engineering equipment has been replaced, there should not be too much threat to defend the city."

"I have left [-] cavalry in Huaicheng, just in case of accidents. It shouldn't be a big problem to cooperate with the local town soldiers. If this is the case, I can set aside [-] town soldiers and let Boren lead them to garrison in the middle city. .”

"The other thing is to let Yu Rang go to Xiao County. While training troops, he is also wary of the actions of Lu and Zheng. Now we are fighting for time with Jin to see who will be faster. Before the situation is too clear, they must And I won’t act rashly.”

Ji Ran nodded after listening, and the two of them began to carefully plan how to arrange it next.

It was at this time that Wu's envoy came to Tancheng, and when he saw Mengdi, he spoke unceremoniously.

"At the beginning, Wu and Han made a covenant to attack Chu together, but now, Wu has captured most of Chu's territory, but Han has remained silent, and food, grass and money are all gone. Not delivered."

"And now Han has concentrated a large number of troops to Tancheng. My king sent me to ask the Marquis of Han. Is this a plan to tear up the covenant? If there is no such intention, please send food, grass and money to Wu as soon as possible. country."

"In order not to cause friction between the two countries due to some misunderstandings, my king couldn't bear to see this situation, so he led his troops to Xincheng. I hope that the Marquis of Han can continue as before and let our two families settle down."

After hearing this, Meng Di snorted directly, and didn't intend to speak at all. Ji Ran who was beside him smiled lightly at this moment, took a step forward, looked at the envoy of Wu Kingdom, and said in a very disdainful tone.

"There is a covenant between Han and Wu to deal with Chu, but because I have seen it before, they have been busy with the war, so they can't fulfill it. This will provide Wu with a lot of food and money."

"It seems that this point has not been confirmed in the covenant, right? But I didn't expect that the king of Wu would make an inch and ask Han for the new city. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, my king reluctantly ceded the new city."

"Furthermore, our two countries agreed not to garrison troops in the new city. In the end, I didn't expect that Fu Chai, the king of Wu, would break his promise and take the initiative to lead troops into the new city. Now he dares to fight back? Does it mean that you Wu people don't have the word "faithfulness" in your eyes? "

"If it wasn't for you, the Wu people, who led the troops into the new city first, how could my king appear in Tancheng? It's useless to talk about it now. If the Wu country decides to go to war against our Han country, then go ahead."

"However, the old man reminds the envoy that if the Wu army loses to our Han army one day in the future and wants to ask for peace again, I'm afraid it will be impossible. At that time, don't blame my Han country for being unpredictable."

How could the emissary not understand the reason, not to mention that he came this time just to find an excuse for Wu Guo to go to war. Although this thing is very false, sometimes it is a big taboo to go out without a name.

So after hearing this, the envoy of Wu State directly bowed to Mengdi and asked.

"I don't know what Mr. Ji said meant the Marquis of Han?"

Meng Di nodded lightly, then picked up the letter sent by Wu Guo, threw it on the ground without looking at it, and said.

"Since you guys want to start a war, don't talk so much nonsense. I'm in Tancheng right now. If you have the ability, just fight in. Then when the time comes, I will admit defeat and have nothing to say to the treacherous people. "

Although the emissary had achieved his goal, he was unwilling to leave just like that, and said in a firm tone.

"My country of Wu has destroyed countless countries. Although the country of Han is developing rapidly, it is still far behind my country of Wu. Since the Marquis of Han has decided to go to war with my country of Wu, please bear all the consequences at your own risk."

Meng Di didn't bother to bother with him about these things anymore, so he turned his head and told Shi Huang directly.

"Drag this noisy person out for me, who is so ignorant of right and wrong, who confuses right and wrong, and dares to utter wild words and threaten this king. If it weren't for the fact that the two countries were not beheaded because of the war, your dog's head would have been hanging on the head of our Han army at this moment." Outside the camp."
