Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Sun Wu bowed to Qing Ji on the Majesty's platform and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the national strength of the Qin people is second only to Qi, so it should not be underestimated."

"During the time of Duke Mu of Qin, the people of Qin benefited the country twelve, opened up thousands of miles, and dominated Xirong."

"Afterwards, although Qin's national strength has declined, and it has never recovered, it is a centipede, and it is dead but not stiff."

"After Kang Gong, Gong Gong, Huan Gong, Jing Gong, Ai Gong, and now Qin Bo Ying Ning, they are all masters of success. Although they have the ambition to forge ahead, restore Mu Gong's hegemony, and compete in the Central Plains, they suffer from the pressure of the times. , hard to achieve!"

"It's just that the Qin State, which lives in a corner, has the ethos of the Rong and Di, and private fighting among the people is commonplace, and the whole people are soldiers, no less than my Great Wu."

"At the same time, the land of Qin is vast, and the Qin people are good at nomadic herding, and they come and go like the wind. If Qin cannot be crushed to destroy Qin, the Qin people may make a comeback, and the outcome is still uncertain."

"Furthermore, if the people of Qin are united as one to defend the Wu army, I fear that all flesh and blood in the Qin state will rise up against the tide, and my army of destroying Qin will fall into endless battles..."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Sun Tzu's attitude is very firm.

Without an army of 30 to [-], the battle of swallowing Shu and destroying Qin must not be done.

If not, once the army is defeated by the Qin people, the whole army will be wiped out, or the Wu army will be dragged back in Qin and fall into the quagmire of war, Sun Wu can't afford it.

At that time, Sun Wu, the leader of the army, will be the sinner of Wu, and there will be no redemption for a hundred deaths.

Moreover, Sun Wu spent half his life as a soldier, fighting dozens of battles, big and small, without losing a single defeat. I am afraid that the famous general of his life will be destroyed in the battle against Qin.

Considering various factors, Sun Wu did not dare to lead troops into battle easily.

Qingji thought for a while, and felt that what Sun Wu said was not without reason.

Over the years, with Wu's rise and hegemony, is it not just Wu's growth?

Kingdoms such as Qin, Qi, Song, Zheng, etc., were all forced by the strength of the overlord Wu to carry out reforms one after another and improve their national strength.

Qin's national power is actually only strong but not weak.

Historically, after Shang Yang's reform, the strength of Qin State became stronger day by day, which would give people an illusion: Qin State was weak before the reform.

But, in fact, Qin is not a weak country!
Before Shang Yang's reforms, Qin continued to expand its territory and defeated its powerful neighbor Jin at that time.

Entering the world of great struggle, especially after Wu State dominated the world, the farming level of all countries has exploded, but Qin State is still in the semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic era.

At this time in Qin State, at least three-fifths of the land was undeveloped.

Moreover, because Qin is located in the borderlands and is not in the prosperous Central Plains cultural circle, it has caused multiple troubles for Qin...

The reason why Qingji is eager to start the battle to destroy Qin is that he doesn't intend to give the people of Qin time to hide their strength and bide their time.

Otherwise, once Qin's new policy is successful and a large amount of land is reclaimed, it will be even more difficult for Wu to destroy Qin!

"Your Majesty."

At this time, Dazai Ji Ran frowned and said: "I think that the battle to destroy Qin must not be rushed."

"With a force of 30 to 30, and an expedition to the Qin State, the required number of civilians should be no less than [-]."

"I am afraid that the battle against Qin will be unfavorable, and the transportation of food and supplies will be difficult. At that time, all the national power of Wu will be consumed in this protracted war, and it will be powerless."

"Your Majesty, it is possible to destroy Shu, but it is too early to destroy Qin!"

"..."

It is understandable for Ji Ran to have this kind of worry.

After all, the current foundation of the state of Wu is not yet solid. Once the battle against Qin leads to a big defeat, it is inevitable that those who are interested will take advantage of the situation.

Not to mention the coalition forces of the northern countries attacking Wu, the reactionary forces in the country are bound to have no peace...

If one is not careful, the state of Wu may fall into disintegration, and even be lost forever.

"Dazai's words are wrong."

Wu Zixu retorted: "The battle to destroy Shu and destroy Qin must be carried out one by one, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!"

"If the Kingdom of Shu is destroyed, the people of Qin will definitely wake up and station heavy troops on the border between Wu and Qin, and even lobby the northern countries to attack Wu together."

"By then, it will be difficult for Great Wu to destroy Qin again!"

"This……"

Ji Ran was stunned for a moment, then sighed to Qing Ji, "My lord, it's too risky to swallow Shu and destroy Qin with 30 to [-] troops."

"Not to mention anything else, seeing that the main force of the Wu Kingdom is in Qin, the princes will inevitably join forces to move south and invade our borders. At that time, what should the Wu Kingdom do?"

"..."

Qingji was silent.

In fact, it is conceivable that Wu State started the chain reaction of the war to destroy Qin.

Moreover, the state of Wu was too powerful, so strong that it frightened the northern countries and had to carry out reforms.

Even if they dare to reform, why don't they dare to fight Wu Guo?
In this series of wars, the state of Wu must devote all its strength unreservedly.

It's a big gamble!
If Qingji is just a conservative king, looking forward and backward in doing things, and taking the overall situation into consideration, there is no need to take such risks.

However, if he wins the bet, it is not impossible for Qingji to rule the world within his lifetime.

After a long silence, Qingji stared at the solemn Sun Wu under the majesty's platform again, and said slowly: "Sun Wu, with the thunder and the sharpness of the iron cavalry, it is still impossible for 10 people to destroy Qin?"

"No."

Sun Wu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, although the thunder and iron cavalry are sharp, they can't surpass people and harmony."

"If you unite with the eight countries of Xirong to destroy Qin, what should you do?"

"can."

Sun Wu replied: "It's just that an army of 20 is still necessary."

Sun Wu didn't give Qingji any face.

Because he dare not gamble!
If the battle against Qin is defeated, Wu's national fortune may be ruined by Sun Wu.

So, on this kind of matter, how dare Sun Wu be careless?

Furthermore, the eight countries of Xirong may not be able to unite with Wu to destroy Qin.

Although, the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong and Qin are feuds, and they often fight each other, and they don't see each other right.

However, if Qin died after the Wu people, wouldn't the next step for Wu be to annex the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong?
The lips are dead and the teeth are cold!

Compared with Wu, who is so powerful and outrageously powerful, the Eight Kingdoms of Xirong may be more willing to keep Qin to resist Wu's attack...

Thinking of this, Qingji thinks that it is unlikely that the Xirong Eighth National Congress will join hands with Wu Guo.

Maybe the Xirong Eight Kingdoms will help the Qin people to resist the Wu army's attack together.

No wonder Sun Wu insisted on swallowing Shu and destroying Qin with an army of 30 to [-]. He must have considered the possibility of sending troops from the eight countries of Xirong to save Qin.

With so many soldiers and horses, they are still Wu's most elite troops, and all of them are handed over to Sun Wu. To be honest, Qingji is not at ease.

However, Qing Ji could not just hand over this military power to others.

Let Qingji lead the army to swallow Shu and destroy Qin?

Not to mention that Qingji was a little tired of fighting on the battlefield, and the possible alliance of princes would force Qingji to sit in Jinling himself to dispatch all parties.
