After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 451 Waiting and Watching the Situation
Vietnam National Audit.

Standing in front of the map, Gou Jian, King of Yue, looked very excited. He brightened the map carefully, pressed the hilt of his sword in his hand, and rested in secret for so long just to wait for today.

Ever since he learned that King Fuchai of Wu was preparing to go to war with the state of Han, Fan Li had suggested that he could take advantage of this time to actively prepare for the war, but at that time King Goujian of Yue still felt that it was not safe enough.

Although preparing for the battle in secret, the action was not big. He never thought that Fu Chai, the king of Wu, would lose so quickly. For a time, King Goujian of Yue was also nervous.

So he immediately dispatched troops to defend. After all, as the monarch of Yue, he naturally did not dare to bet on the friendship between him and Mengdi. Then there is nothing to worry about.

Just because of his high interest, both Wen Zhong and Fan Li had worried looks in their eyes, and Wen Zhong spoke first at this time.

"Your Majesty, at this time, we'd better wait and talk. Today is different from the past. Before Wu was defeated so quickly, it must be that Han won the final battle against Jin this time."

"Han Guo left Wu Guo without attacking. Firstly, he was worried that Wu Guo would counterattack and cause too many casualties. After all, before this, Wu Guo took the initiative to attack Han Guo, which was a foreign war. In all respects, it was beneficial to Han Guo .”

"Secondly, there is a private connection between Wu and Jin. Han will naturally worry that Jin will take advantage of this opportunity to attack. Therefore, under such circumstances, they did not do their best in the battle of Wu."

"However, if we attack Wu State at this time, it is very likely that Han State will feel that our Yue State will become a threat in the future. At that time, our Yue State may be the next to face Han State."

After hearing this, Fan Li also slightly nodded his head in agreement, bowed and said.

"That's true. Your Majesty should be cautious now. You should not give Han an excuse to attack Yue. Although your Majesty has a personal relationship with the King of Han, you cannot entrust important affairs of state to your personal affairs. Please think twice before acting."

After Yue Wang Goujian heard this, dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes, and he took a deep breath.

"When Han and Wu were at war before, you advised me to send troops immediately, but now you have blocked it again and again. What do you mean? And now Han is at war with Jin. After this battle, Han will definitely There will also be losses.”

"So this king thinks that now is a good time to attack Wu. If you miss this opportunity, it may be difficult to get another one. Besides, after two big battles in a row, Han also urgently needs to recuperate. What is there to worry about?"

Wen Zhong bowed his head in thought for a moment, with an anxious look on his face, before speaking after a while.

"At this time and at that time, if the Han State wins against the Jin State, then its prestige will definitely win. Under such circumstances, once the Wu State gets the news, it will be terrified."

"Furthermore, Han's heart towards the southern vassal states has been clearly revealed. The best way for us at this time should be to unite with Wu to deal with Han. Only in this way can Wu become our barrier."

At this time, Yue Wang Goujian had a sneer on his face, he took a deep breath, and clenched his fists tightly.

"Alliance with Wu State? If this happens, I am afraid that Yue State will be in danger immediately. Since Han State is now in full swing, how can we choose to fight and have a good result?"

At this time, an internal official rushed in and bowed to report.

"Your Majesty has news from Han."

As soon as Wen Zhong heard this, he took a step forward, took a silk book from his internal official, and handed it to Gou Jian. He opened it and saw his expression change, then handed the silk book in his hand to Wen Zhong and Fan Li, and said with a frown.

"I really didn't expect that the King of Han really defeated the coalition forces of the Jin State and took over the old land of the State of Lu. Now the King of Han has returned to Huai City and is planning to marry the princess of the State of Chu."

This news shaken Yue King Goujian's determination to attack Wu, and he couldn't help but feel that the current Han State is so powerful, and the two most powerful military states in the north and south were all defeated by the Han State.

He also felt powerless to resist, and waved his hands wearily.

"Forget it, let's end today's discussion. As for what to do next, let's take a look and talk about it."

However, the change of things is always unexpected. The Lingyin Shen Zhuliang of Chu State secretly sent envoys to Wu State and Yue State, preparing to unite them to deal with Han State's expansion in the south.

When King Goujian of Yue was still thinking about it, King Fucha of Wu refused directly without even thinking about it. The reason is very simple, that is, the state of Wu is now powerless to fight against the state of Han, so he doesn't want to do this either.

This shows that Fu Chai, king of Wu, is so focused on protecting himself that he dare not take any action to offend Han. After the news reached Yue, both Wen Zhong and Fan Li felt a little helpless, and finally Fan Li took a step forward and said to Gou Jian.

"Your Majesty's affairs have come to an end. It seems that we have no choice but to attack the State of Wu. Now that the State of Han is recuperating, and the King of Han is about to get married, we should send envoys to make friends with the State of Han on the one hand and attack the State of Wu on the other hand."

"Since the current state of Wu has no ambitions, once the Han state goes south in the future, it will be dangerous for us to cross over. Therefore, we must take down the state of Wu, and then build a special navy to guard the front line of the Yangtze River."

"Only in this way will it be relatively safer for our country of Yue. I really didn't expect that the Han country would grow to this extent in a short period of time. It is really amazing. I guess the Han country should have the ambition to annex the world. .”

Wen Zhong was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and he shook his head in disbelief.

"Shaobo's words are a bit alarmist. Although Han is getting stronger and stronger now, how difficult is it to annex the world's vassal states? And will the other vassal states sit idly by?"

The same goes for King Goujian of Yue, after being stunned for a moment, he chuckled.

"How to annex it? Even if it is the land in the south, it will take a lot of effort for Han to win it. However, although it has retreated now, its strength is still there. The difference between defending the city and attacking the city is too variable, and it is difficult to predict the result. .”

"There are so many cities in the world, how much time will it take to fight them one by one? The King of Han is indeed an unborn hero. I don't think his successor may have such ambitions."
