Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Qing Ji, who was poured cold water by Ji Ran, was not annoyed at all.

What is "The Art of Lianheng"?
In this era, there is no concept of vertical and horizontal.

The "joint vertical" in history was first initiated by Gongsun Yan, and Su Qin lobbied the six countries to push the six countries to finally complete the joint resistance against Qin.

Qin is in the west, and the six kingdoms are in the east. Therefore, the land of the six kingdoms is connected from north to south, so it is called "Hezong". horizontal".

To put it simply, "joint vertical" is a strategy of uniting the weak to attack the strong.

"Lian Heng" is a strategy of attacking the weak with one strong.

Qingji originally planned to join forces with Qi to deal with the invasion of the coalition of princes.

However, the people of Qi seem not to accept this.

"Jian Ran, you must know that people's hearts are separated from their belly."

Qing Ji said with a faint smile: "Nowadays, all the princes in the world are afraid of the strength of our Wu State, so they plan to jointly send troops to invade our borders while Wu's elite troops are in Qin."

"Even if there is no battle against Qin, the princes will still join forces to defeat Wu."

"It's a matter of time."

"Throughout the ages, the number of allied armies has led to a large number of soldiers, but they may not be able to succeed. He, Lu Chujiu, is not King Wu of Zhou, and the widow is not King Zhou of Shang!"

"If the coalition forces of the princes are unfavorable to attack Wu, or if the spoils are not evenly distributed, they will inevitably stop and break up their alliances. I can foresee that the northern countries will usher in a new round of pattern."

The ass decides the head.

As the King of Wu, the overlord of the Wu Kingdom, and a time traveler, Qingji has been in the top position for a long time and has a long-term vision. How could he not realize that after this war, the northern countries will usher in a new round of "big reshuffle" ?
A strong country gets stronger, while a weak country has no value in existence and will definitely be swallowed up by a strong country.

This is exactly what Qingji wants to see.

In this world of great controversy, for the Wu Kingdom, the more chaos the better!

Regarding Qingji's deduction, Ji Ran, Fan Li and other ministers couldn't help nodding their heads slightly, expressing their agreement.

If the war against Wu does not go well, the coalition of princes, who are already full of conflicts and intrigues, may not just disband, or even fall into war. In the end, they will fight with each other and be benefited by the "fisherman" of Wu... …

When Prince Heng heard the words, his eyes lit up, he bowed to Qingji in admiration and said, "Father Wang Shengming."

"There are more than a dozen vassal states of my state of Wu, Chen, Xu, Cai, Teng and other states. Small states with few people are like a piece of fat. The father and king threw it out, causing the states to fight like dogs, and then they all died or were injured. , Da Wu can get his money back with interest!"

Qing Ji smiled slightly and said, "Fat meat? Dogs? Wu Heng, your metaphor is quite vivid."

After a pause, Qingji put his hands together in his sleeves again, changed to a more comfortable position on the majesty's platform and knelt down, and then said in a slow voice, "Second and third son, the battle against Qin has now been frustrated."

"Sun Wu led the main force to fight fiercely with the Qin people on the front line of the Weishui River. He repeatedly broke through its camp and achieved remarkable results. However, the eight countries of Xirong, including Yiqu, Wuzhi, Dali, and Quyan, have sent troops to help Qin, and their number is no less than 10. people."

"Sun Wu reported that only on both sides of the Wei River, in Gaoling, Jingyang and other places, with the continuous increase of troops from the Qin people and the participation of the eight countries of Xirong, the armies of Wu and Qin were basically equal, and the total strength of the two sides may have exceeded 50. .”

"hiss!"

Hearing this, all the officials present couldn't help but gasp, feeling extremely shocked.

This is an army of 50 people!

From ancient times to the present, how can there be a war of this scale?

"On the Qinzhong side, Young Master Xi was unable to lead his army to conquer Yongcheng, so he could only retreat to Guo County and Beiban Mountain, and was under siege by the Qin army."

"However, the soldiers and horses of Gongzixi's army leaned against Beiban Mountain and guarded the newly opened Chencang Road. Therefore, the soldiers in the Shu region can continue to rush to help, and there is no danger for a while."

"The two armies are still fighting fiercely in Guo County and Beiban Mountain, and they are at a stalemate."

Hearing this, Ji Ran, Fan Li, Bo Tong and other ministers all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Couldn't even the elite soldiers led by Young Master Xi be able to drive straight in and destroy the capital of Qin, Yongcheng?

You know, so far, in order to win this war, Wu Guo has invested 25 troops in the battle of Qin alone.

"Father, do you know how many people there are in Qin?"

Young Master Hong asked suspiciously.

"Probably no less than 30."

Qing Ji said calmly, "In the Qin Kingdom, all the people are soldiers. Now, all males from the age of 60 to 14 have already joined the battlefield."

"Moreover, some strong women even helped to escort food and supplies, or directly defend the city..."

Such a war is very cruel.

Qingji thought that the state of Qin was a tough nut to crack, but he didn't expect it to be so tough!
"Sun Wu's intention is to let the widow continue to increase his troops. I don't know what the second and third sons want?"

"inappropriate!"

As soon as Qingji's words fell, Ji Ran hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the number of soldiers in the country is already stretched. In order to deal with the invasion of the allied forces of the princes, how can Your Majesty conscript soldiers?"

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, since the battle against Qin is unfavorable, why don't Your Majesty take the next step and only make the people of Qin surrender and cede the cities and lands instead of trying to destroy Qin?"

Upon hearing this, Qingji just shook his head and said, "Impossible."

"Once the battle to destroy the Qin Dynasty begins, there is no possibility of stopping. As the saying goes, you will not die if you beat a snake, but you will be bitten by it."

"If you can't win the first battle, there will be endless harm."

Wu Guo paid such a high price for this battle, how could it be possible for Qingji to give up halfway?

Furthermore, the situation of the battle was not so critical that Qing Ji had to be stopped from attacking Qin.

"Father, if there is no increase in troops, what will happen if you don't know about the war in Qin?"

Young Master Hong asked tentatively.

"Confrontation."

Qingji just replied two words lightly.

The result is obvious.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Regarding Qin's Weishui defense line, the Wu army led by Sun Wu was unable to break through after a long battle, which would naturally lead to low morale and slack.

In a national war of this level, the commander's personal ability is not actually the key to victory.

Although Sun Wu is known as the "Sage of Soldiers" in history, he uses soldiers like a god, and he has no plans.

But the Qin people adopted defensive warfare, just like hiding in a turtle shell, avoiding and not fighting, so that the Wu army could only conquer its camps one by one.

In this case, no matter how powerful Sun Tzu is in using troops, it will be difficult for him to show his strengths.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Dazai Jiran pondered.

Regarding this, Qing Ji just waved his hand and said, "Ji Ran, I know what you think in your heart. It is absolutely impossible for me to withdraw my troops from Qin at this time!"

Qingji's attitude is very firm.

There is no need to discuss the withdrawal of troops!

This is not Qingji's self-willed use, but the battle to destroy Qin. If the success falls short at this time, how can Qingji be worthy of the dead soldiers and tens of thousands of people in Wu?
