After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 407 Planning to Surrender
So Meng Di thought for a while, feeling that now Chen He has almost won Liuhe, the strategic goal has been achieved, and it is necessary for Wu Guo to retain a certain amount of strength. Thinking of this, he said.

"Then the city won by our Han army will naturally not be returned as compensation, and at the same time, you Wu army must give way. Only in this way, our Han country will believe in your sincerity, and your Wu country can still go to the new city for trade in the future. "

When Bo Pi heard this, he was also relieved. Under such circumstances, he was forced to sign the alliance under the city. So he nodded.

"Since my country of Wu was defeated, it is natural to pay some price. If this is the case, I will invite the king of Wu to come to make an alliance with the Marquis of Han after I return. I hope that from now on, our two countries will stop fighting."

Then the two sides discussed how to redeem the captives and the time when the two sides handed over the city.

Ten days later, Wu Wang Fuchai and Hanhou Mengdi met, which also represented the end of the war between Han and Wu.

Wu Jun's loss this time is also quite serious. They mainly redeemed some noble children, important generals and elite soldiers, and the other apprentices did not even mention it.

The main reason is that the state of Wu has been fighting for many years, and the treasury is empty. Even so, it still owes a large amount of money to the state of Han.

Meng Di moved these captives directly to the land of Yihu, and then took the people and horses to receive the good way. This place is very important, and it is an important water transportation node connecting the Jianghuai area, so that the land of Yihu and Huaiyi can be transferred by water. land together.

Moreover, most of the surrounding areas are plain areas, because many rivers flow into Hongze Lake, causing frequent flooding. If the water conservancy can be repaired, then the surrounding area will become an important granary for the Han Dynasty, but this is a big project.

After taking a general look at the local situation, Meng Di decided to let Yang Hu be stationed here, and then led his troops back to Xincheng directly.

It's just that when he came back, he received a message from Yu Yanghu. After reading the bamboo slips carefully, Meng Di asked.

"What does Mr. Ji think of Yang Hu's suggestion?"

Ji Ran obviously had a plan in mind, so he smiled and said.

"Since he has such an idea, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Although Yang Hu is ambitious, he also has vision. What's more, now that Han has defeated Wu, he will definitely not choose to join Chu."

"Besides, Yang Hu has been conscientious in doing things since he joined the lord, which shows that he admires the lord very much, and only a person like the lord can subdue Yang Hu and let him be used by others."

Meng Di sighed lightly, shook his head slowly, frowned and thought for a while, and then said.

"It's not that I doubt Yang Hu's intentions, but I'm worried about Shen Zhuliang. This man is just a doctor of Chu State. When Chu State was in danger, he took the initiative to send troops to attack Baigong Sheng, and won a complete victory in the end."

"Also, I heard that he has a good reputation in the local area, which means that this person is useful, resourceful, and good at governing the country. Such a person has become Ling Yin of Chu State. I am afraid that Yang Hu will not be his opponent."

"Chu's intention to instigate Yang Hu this time is obviously not pure. They just want to take back Baiju City in a reasonable way through this method, and at the same time, they can show their favor like Han Guo, and they can do this. How can you underestimate the matter?"

Ji Ran also nodded approvingly, but the worry on his face was not serious.

"Chu people have their own plans, it's true, but whether they can achieve what they want is another matter. Although Chen He said that he is not aggressive enough, he is definitely more than enough to be successful. As long as the two of them can work together, then Yang Hu will not What's the danger?"

"Even if the people of Chu State want to attack Baiju City, Chen He only needs to send troops at that time, and the plan of the people of Chu State will be completely defeated. The only thing worth noting is to prevent the people of Chu State from sending assassins to assassinate Yang Hu."

After thinking about it, Meng Tisi nodded slowly, agreed, and at the same time said to the captain of the guard beside him.

"Lead 50 people immediately and go quietly to Baiju City. From now on, you only have one task, which is to protect Yang Hu's safety. In addition, tell him to be careful when doing things, and not to let the Chu people's plot succeed."

Just when the battle on Mengdi's side came to an end, Xu Cheng led the water army to the vicinity of Huai City. There were two reasons why they came so slowly. One was because of the harassment of the water army in Gumi City.

The other is that because the original journey of the waterway was not fast, he directly attacked the port of Huaicheng as soon as he arrived.

Because he received the news in advance, Bai Gui ordered the port to be emptied long ago, and the guarding soldiers withdrew directly after a little resistance.

There is no other way to do this, Huai City is not strong enough, and the naval force is not strong enough, if you fight the opponent at the port, you will definitely lose a lot, it is better to let Xu Cheng in to fight, it is safer.

But at this time, Bai Gui had already received the news from Mengdi, he didn't expect the Han army to achieve the result so quickly, so he pondered for a while, and then spoke.

"Now that the Marquis of Han has defeated Wu Jun, judging from the current situation, it may take some time for Xu Cheng to receive the news. It seems that we need to lure him to Huai City, and then find a way to force him to land."

"In this way, not only can we get a navy out of thin air, but we will also be more confident about the future crusade against Wuyue. I wonder what Huizi thinks about this?"

Guo Xia also nodded in agreement, and after thinking about it for a while, he came up with an idea.

"Since you want to lure the enemy to go deep, you have to show your weakness. It is best to send troops and horses to pretend to resist, so as to lure Xu Cheng to lead the army to attack, not to mention that their goal this time is Huai City."

"At that time, we will try our best to defend first, and then seize the opportunity to disclose the news. At the same time, let our navy seize the port, but we must not disclose the news that Wu and Yue have ceased fighting."

"At that time, Xu Cheng has no way out, and he can't wait for reinforcements for a long time. Presumably he will believe that this matter is true in his heart. Only in this way can he have a chance to recruit this person."

After Bai Gui listened, a smile appeared on his face. He was under a lot of pressure during this period. Although he had made a plan in advance, as long as the outcome of a war is uncertain, no one has the confidence to win.
