Faced with Qi’s frequent actions,
neighboring countries,
Basically, they just sit back and watch, with an attitude that it's none of my business.
But as a country involved.
The moods between Wu and Yue were so different.
Facing the arrival of the Qi army,
Wu Huangfu Chai was overjoyed.
Although he did not allow the Qi army to enter the city, he still went out to greet the Qi army in person and helped the Qi army to wash away the dust.
After three days of good food and wine, he sent his troops south.
at the same time,
Wei Qing also informed Wu Huangfu Chai that Qi State was going to start trade with Wu State.
I heard that Qi State will pay a high price.
When buying large quantities of weapons and grain from Wu.
Wu Huangfu Cha felt that there was something wrong with his ears.
This kind of pie-in-the-sky thing, Wu Huangfu Chai naturally nodded repeatedly.
He patted his chest and said,
It can give a green light to Qi businessmen.
Feel free to come to Wu for trade.
At the same time, Qi's tariffs were also reduced.
Enthusiastic look,
For those who didn’t know, they would have thought that the relationship between the two countries is so close.
Seeing Wu Huangfu's excited expression,
Wei Qing sneered in his heart.
He knew all the plans for Wu State.
This time the army went out for battle.
In addition to weakening the strength of Yue State.
There is another important purpose.
It means consuming the grain and grass of Wu State.
After all, it is the time of autumn harvest, even if Qi State spends a lot of money to buy it.
In a short period of time,
There is no way to empty out Wu's grain reserves.
So according to Guan Zhong's idea, it is a two-pronged approach.
All the food and grass supplies for the army going south were borne by the State of Wu.
so,
Wei Qing has already made a long-term plan to travel in the country of Yue.
Just defeat the main force of the Vietnamese army first, and then take the soldiers around under the guise of siege.
In this way,
On the one hand, Qi State purchased the grain reserves from the people of Wu State through trade.
On the other side, through war, the grain stored in Wu's granary was consumed.
Do both sides at the same time.
According to Guan Zhong’s calculations, before next autumn’s harvest.
It can definitely hollow out the Wu Kingdom.
That's when it's time to take action.
.......
The Qi and Wu coalition forces met at the same place.
When preparing to go south to attack Vietnam,
Huo Qubing led 30,000 soldiers and horses to break away from the large army.
Go back the way you came.
at the same time,
A letter passed by a flying pigeon was also delivered to Yue Yunfei.
Some troops from the border troops on the Qi-Song border will also be drawn out to assist Huo Qubing in wiping out the small countries in the middle.
After all, if you want to annex Wu Yue, you must completely control the area in the middle.
the other side.
While the Emperor of Wu was leading his army southward in high spirits,
The face of the Yue Emperor could be described as extremely gloomy.
In these three years,
The Yue Emperor Gou Jian wanted to take revenge.
Bear the humiliation and bear the heavy burden, and endure the hardships!
Just to one day wash away the shame brought upon him by the Kingdom of Wu.
But,
He never expected that at such a critical moment, Qi Guoguo would interfere.
And the reason for interfering is also very funny.
It turned out to be because the Emperor of Qi fell in love with the Queen of Wu and the concubine of the previous emperor.
This is outrageous.
Look through history books and look at thousands of years of history.
There is no emperor who can do such a thing.
What was most unacceptable to Emperor Yue was that the emperor was so mediocre. Not only did Qi State show no signs of decline, but it was thriving every day.
Externally, the army is invincible.
Internally, the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Is there any natural reason for this kind of thing?
I would like to ask all the emperors in the world, how many of them do not want to be a coward?
Even those emperors who were ambitious and wanted to make great achievements and leave their names in the history books.
Ask them,
If you can ignore the government affairs, play with the concubine every day, or go hunting in the wild with your entourage.
Anyway, just eat, drink and have fun every day, and then the country under your governance can still prosper.
Such a good thing,
Who wouldn't be happy?
to be honest,
The Yue Emperor Gou Jian was also very happy.
Why didn't he want to be like Han Lin, indulging in wine and sex every day, indulging in wine pools and meat forests?
Then the territory of Yue State can continue to expand, and the people under its rule can live and work in peace and contentment.
But the problem is,
He can't do this.
I really want to do this,
The State of Yue may be annexed by the State of Wu soon.
The two countries of Wu,
Although as a neighbor.
But the hatred between the two sides can be traced back hundreds of years.
Totally a feud.
The kind that never stops.
Therefore, since he ascended the throne, Yue Emperor Gou Jian did not dare to slack off at all.
Even after losing to Wu State,
During these three years of hard work, Emperor Gou Jian of Yue was preparing for revenge almost every day and night.
Now,
He was about to succeed, but Qi Guo got in the way.
How could Yue Emperor Gou Jian be willing to do this?
...
Facing the aggressive Qi-Wu coalition forces,
Emperor Gou Jian of Yue was worried about causing panic in the court, so he only met with Wen Zhong and Fan Li in the imperial study.
As his right-hand man,
They are also the two people who have always made suggestions for themselves, and can be said to be the biggest support of the Yue Emperor Gou Jian.
"You should all be clear about the matter. Is there anything you can do about it?"
Emperor Yue said in a solemn voice.
Wen Zhong and Fan Li looked at each other.
Wen Zhong was the first to speak, confidently saying: "Your Majesty, why should you worry."
"Wu Jun has just experienced a disastrous defeat and his morale is low. This trip south is just a foil, so don't worry about it."
"As for the Qi army, although they are brave, Linzi is more than 2,000 miles away from Kuaiji. After such a long journey, how much combat strength can the Qi army have left in the expedition?"
"What's more, Wei Chen heard that although the Qi army sent 80,000 troops, it only had 50,000 troops going south this time."
"The combined forces of Qi and Wu are only one hundred thousand. Our army can completely wait for work. After the Qi and Wu allied forces arrive at the city, they will suddenly attack when they are not prepared. They will surely catch the other side by surprise!"
As soon as Wen Zhong finished speaking, Fan Li immediately said: "No!"
Compared with the self-confidence of literary genre,
Fan Li looked very serious: "Your Majesty, you must not leave the city to fight."
Emperor Yue frowned and said, "Why?"
After the analysis of the language just now, Emperor Yue regained his confidence.
yes,
One had just experienced a disastrous defeat, and the other had traveled two thousand miles.
What kind of combat effectiveness can such an army have?
Fan Li explained at this time: "Your Majesty, a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, and now we are facing a powerful enemy, so we must not take it lightly."
"Wei Qing, the commander-in-chief of the Qi army, conquered the state of Zhao in the west twice. He has outstanding achievements and is brave and good at fighting."
"Although the Qi army came from afar this time, the Qi army is at its peak. Our army must not leave the city to fight."
"Our army should hold on to the city and refuse to go out to fight. We can only go out to meet the enemy when the Qi army division comes to the city."
Analysis of two people,
One person suggested calling directly.
Another person suggested waiting until the morale of the Qi army was weakened before fighting.
And what they both said was reasonable.
for a time,
Emperor Yue was in a dilemma.
at the same time,
A caravan from the Western Regions left the State of Zhao and entered the territory of the State of Qi.
