Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 421

The [-] soldiers of the new army went through twenty-five rounds of fighting, and it took three full days before it ended.

Because every soldier is holding a wooden stick with powder paint in his hand, and there are no arrow clusters on the arrows, and those who are touched by the paint are regarded as "killed in battle."

This is to avoid too many casualties in the large military exercise, and it is a last resort.

Even so, there were not a few soldiers who were slightly injured or seriously injured. Some soldiers were even disabled for life, or some died directly.

Why is this happening?

Because the generals of the Wu army were full of blood, they were really red-eyed, but regardless of it, the wooden stick was directly greeted to the head, or punched and kicked...

Some of the more miserable people were directly run over by the wheels of the chariot, or trampled to death by the horses!

This made Qingji extremely dissatisfied.

However, he knew that these casualties were unavoidable in a big martial arts show.

"Meng Ben, Gou Jian."

"Chen is here!"

Following Qing Ji's cry on the high platform, Meng Ben and Gou Jian, who were standing in the crowd behind, immediately stood up in response.

"Maybe I haven't seen the Imperial Forest Army and the Huben Army face off for a long time. Let the two of you each lead a thousand elite soldiers under your command to a martial arts show. The winner will be rewarded with money, food and rice as in the old system."

"promise!"

Meng Ben and Gou Jian immediately accepted the order with excited expressions.

It is worth mentioning that at this time, Meng Ben was the Zhonglang general of the Yulin Army, nicknamed "Habayashi Zhonglang General", and Goujian was the Zhonglang General of the Huben Army, nicknamed "Hu Ben Zhonglang General".

Don't look at the position of Zhonglang General, their status is very high, and their titles are not low!

Meng Ben's title is Shang Dafu, and Gou Jian is even more "Marquis of Yue", and both have their own food towns.

In the twentieth-level military title system, Gou Jian is now the seventh level, a public official.

Meng Ben is the eighth level, the public vehicle.

Among all the generals in Wu, the one with the highest rank of military merit is none other than Grand Sima Sun Wu.

Sun Wu is the tenth level, Zuo Shuchang!

However, Goujian is different from Sun Wu and Meng Ben.

Sun Wu is the minister of Qing Ji's shoulders and arms, the pillar of the country, with outstanding military exploits and a prominent reputation.

Meng Ben is Qingji's veteran hero. He has followed Qingji since Qingji went to the battlefield, and has followed Qingji for more than ten years. He has been loyal to death through life and death.

Back then, Qingji started his army from Weiguo and went south, returned to Wudu, and successfully seized the throne. Meng Ben, Heifu and others made great military exploits for Qingji.

What is Goujian's background?
He was originally the son of Yue Wang Yunchang, the prince of Yue.

However, after the State of Wu destroyed the State of Yue, it still treated Goujian kindly, allowing him to inherit the title of "Marquis of Yue" from Yunchang, and was given five hundred households in Shiyi by Qingji.

To a large extent, Qing Ji took care of Yue people's emotions, so he treated Gou Jian kindly.

It's just that Goujian is a very upbeat person, he joined the Huben army on his own, and since he joined the army, he has always taken the lead.

In Wu's previous wars with the outside world, in the Battle of Huai River, Gou Jian also captured Qihou alive and made great contributions.

After that, when Goujian went on tour with Qingji, he defeated the Nanman army headed by Fucha in Juwu.

Immediately afterwards, Gou Jian followed the brothers and sisters of Sun Wu and Sun Li to join the Southern Expedition Army through the door of Queen Ji Ji, conquering the rebels in the six counties of Lingnan, and opening up the territory for Wu.

Therefore, in this short period of three years, Gou Jian, who was only seventeen years old, has already been officially worshiped as Habayashi Zhonglang, Duke and Doctor, and his future is boundless!
"Your Majesty, since joining the army, Jiuqian (Goujian) has always fought bravely against the enemy. He lights up the lamp at night to read military books. He has worked very hard. I believe that this time Jiuqian will definitely perform brilliantly."

Queen Ji Pai, who was standing beside Qingji, smiled sweetly.

This made Qingji feel very uncomfortable.

After all, he personally doesn't like Goujian.

Just like what Wu Zixu said, Goujian has the attitude of the eagle watching the wolf and caring, so he should not live under others for a long time.

It's just that during Qingji's lifetime, Goujian could only work his life for him in an orderly manner, going through life and death for the state of Wu.

Once Qingji passed away, everything would be hard to say!

If the successor was the son of his sister Ji Kui, perhaps Gou Jian could settle down, and no matter how bad it was, it would be impossible to seize the country of Wu.

Goujian is good at forbearance, and Qingji is well aware of this.

It's just that Qingji can't deliberately suppress Goujian, or assassinate him without anyone noticing.

It's not that Qingji has the benevolence of a woman, but that Goujian is really too stubborn, so Qingji can't find any reason to execute him.

Just like Cao Cao and Sima Yi in the late Han Dynasty, Cao Mengde dreamed of "three horses in the same slot", and saw that Sima Yi had a heart of disobedience and a rebellious bone in the back of his head, but he didn't kill him. Why?
Because there is no excuse!

Although there is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime, but as an ambitious king, how can he kill a minister who seems to be loyal to him without any trace of retaliation?

Goujian is more powerful to Qingji than Sima Yi is to Cao Cao!

why?
Because Goujian is the younger brother of Queen Ji Pao, the brother-in-law of Qingji, and the heir of the Marquis of Yue and the Kingdom of Yue!
With these identities, if Qingji dared to execute Goujian indiscriminately, he would definitely risk the world's injustice and be condemned by everyone.

Qingji was not afraid of being infamous, but what he was afraid of was that this incident would make the whole state of Wu dissociated from morality, and the courtiers were afraid of Qingji and alienated him.

It is precisely because it is too troublesome to kill Goujian for no reason that Qingji keeps Goujian.

I didn't expect Gou Jian to be so competitive. Relying on his military achievements and the relationship with Queen Ji Pao, he really stood out and became a real powerful general!
Fortunately, Goujian has always been cautious, and did not form cliques in the court or the army, or have private connections with the Yue people, otherwise Qingji would definitely be punished if he caught a handle on Goujian.

Even if you don't kill them, you have to denounce them!
To change what a boss in a certain film and television drama said: Domineering, courting death!
It's a pity that Gou Jian was too forbearing to make him a general of Huben. This was Qingji's own decision, and it had little to do with Queen Ji Pao, the "helping brother demon".

Because only by keeping Goujian under his nose, can Qingji truly feel at ease.

"Queen, Goujian's hard work is seen and remembered by everyone."

Qingji smiled slightly, and said: "Of course, Meng Ben is a rare and fierce general under my command, and the Habayashi Army is even more unstoppable under his training."

"Whether Gou Jian led the Huben army can defeat Meng Ben's Yulin army head-on on the battlefield, it's hard to say."

Not long after, a thousand soldiers of the Huben Army and a thousand soldiers of the Habayashi Army, led by Gou Jian and Meng Ben, came to the school grounds to confront each other.

However, what is extremely surprising is that the soldiers of the Habayashi Army on Meng Ben's side can be described as chariot soldiers, infantry, crossbowmen, shield soldiers and other arms.

On the other hand, the generals and soldiers of Goujian's Huben army were all lightly dressed, not even armor, but only crimson battle clothes.

There are no horses or chariots!
