I heard that even my own prime minister,
When they all said these three words of surrender,
Emperor Wu was angry, unforgivable, and his eyes were about to burst.
He didn't expect,
At this time of national crisis,
When the great Wu Kingdom fell into a state of life and death,
Even his own prime minister began to persuade him to surrender.
But before he had an attack,
Prime Minister Hu Lin's words were like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing all the rising anger of Emperor Wu's husband.
The army that attacked Yue was completely wiped out.
At present, the total number of soldiers and horses in the country does not exceed 30,000.
besides,
There is another most terrible thing.
The state of Wu has no food reserves!
The food in Gusu City is only enough for them to survive until the autumn harvest.
Although there are mountains of gold and silver in the treasury.
but,
Gold and silver cannot be used as food.
Currency has purchasing power only when it can buy things.
In times of war,
Food is king.
However,
Most of Wu's grain and grass are now sold to Qi.
Even if they choose to resist stubbornly, they can't hide in the city.
They can only last a month at most.
What about a month later?
It's definitely autumn.
It’s time for the autumn harvest.
But the farmland is not in the city.
By the time,
The Qi army can cut their grain and supply it on the spot.
And they...
Hu Lin has made his words very straightforward.
He was almost there to persuade Emperor Wu to stop thinking nonsense and surrender directly.
...
Wu State surrendered.
Facing the mighty Qi army of 200,000,
Emperor Wu's husband took all the civil and military officials of Wu State and went out of the city thirty miles to greet him.
At the same time, he brought along the jade seal that symbolized the power of Wu State.
For such a result,
Zhang Liao and Huo Qubing had anticipated this.
Fifty thousand people were left behind, and Zhang Liao was responsible for handling other affairs of the state of Wu.
Huo Qubing led an army of 150,000 troops and continued southward.
Go straight to Yue Country.
at the same time,
The document of Wu’s surrender,
It was also sent to Linzi at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.
Two days later,
The news of Wu's surrender spread back to Qi.
harem,
Shi Yiguang was sitting in front of the window, wearing a moon-white dress that outlined a perfect figure.
He looked outside, dazed.
She already knew about Wu Guo's surrender.
Shi Yiguang obviously didn't expect that,
The country of Wu, which was still very prosperous two years ago,
Will be annexed by Qi in such a short period of time.
suddenly,
Shi Yiguang laughed to himself.
Because she remembered the day when Wu Huangfu sent her out of Gusu City.
It was such a local attitude back then,
I beg you to go to Linzi and say more good things about Wu in front of Han Lin.
Later he even became angry about it.
Think about it now,
It feels so ridiculous.
"You put all your thought and effort into doing such a shameful thing, but in the end it's just nothing."
"The thousand-year-old foundation of the Wu Kingdom was finally destroyed in your hands."
"How ridiculous!"
"You can do anything that will bring shame to you the next day. I really want to see how you will face the ancestors of the Wu Kingdom in the future!"
...
If,
Shi Yiguang may still have a trace of regret in his heart.
It can be said that Da Qiao was completely excited and happy.
After hearing that Wu had surrendered,
He ran directly to Han Lin's bed and started celebrating.
Although in earlier years,
Da Qiao married the late emperor of Wu.
But soon,
The other party will pass away.
When it comes to a sense of belonging, I can only say that I have it.
But that's all.
and,
This little sense of belonging disappeared without a trace in Wu Huangfu Chai's behavior.
In the bedroom.
On a huge dragon bed,
Han Lin hugged Da Qiao and was recovering his strength.
Normally,
The beds of ancient people were almost all single beds.
Even the emperor's dragon bed would not be that spacious.
but,
This is something Han Lin absolutely cannot tolerate.
I am the majestic king of a country, and you give me the entire single bed?
How do you want me to have a party?
Therefore, at Han Lin’s strong request,
The entire dormitory is not only extremely spacious, but also has various facilities in the middle.
As for the dragon bed,
It is also spacious enough to accommodate more than ten people sleeping together.
Anyway, the main thing is comfort.
"My beloved concubine, have you calmed down now?"
Hugging Da Qiao, Han Lin joked.
Da Qiao leaned against Han Lin's chest and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for getting rid of this bad breath for me."
"By the way, you have stayed in the Wu Palace for so many years and you don't have any feelings at all?"
Da Qiao snorted coldly: "It's too late for my concubine to hate the Kingdom of Wu. How can there be any feelings? As for the destruction of the Kingdom of Wu, he deserves it. He is so shameful and has lost his conscience. This kind of monarch with no morals at all should be punished as soon as possible." Perish."
"only......"
I seem to be thinking of something,
Da Qiao's expression darkened.
Han Lin asked: "Just what?"
Da Qiao pursed his lips and said dimly, "It's just that I miss my father and sister a little."
"After they defected to Wu State last year, there was no news. I am worried about their safety."
Han Lin replied: "What do you mean? Don't worry, they are in Chu State now."
Da Qiao said in a pleading tone: "Your Majesty, can I get rid of one thing?"
Han Lin said in a deep voice: "You say it."
"I hope that the emperor can bring my father and sister to Qi."
"First of all, I am worried that my father and sister are not living a good life in Chu State."
"One more thing. After so many years in the palace, I have never seen my father again. I also want to show my filial piety."
"besides......."
Speaking of which,
Da Qiao's cheeks suddenly turned red.
There was a hint of blush on the ears.
"What else?"
Seeing Da Qiao's appearance, Han Lin chuckled.
Da Qiao shyly buried his head in the quilt, his voice sounding like a mosquito.
"Your Majesty can also bring your sister to the palace..."
Han Lin laughed and hugged Da Qiao again: "Don't worry, I will do it even if you don't say it."
"It's just that your father and sister are in Chu State now, and there is really no way to send troops to bring them directly, so it will take some time."
nowadays,
Annex the land of Wu and Yue,
It's almost a certainty.
The territory of Qi State stretches from the bitter cold land of Youzhou in the north, all the way down the eastern coast, to the South China Sea.
Such a vast area,
It can be said that no country has ever existed.
and,
Han Lin has now turned his target to the Western Regions and Chu State.
only,
These two goals want to be accomplished.
Still a little difficult.
In other words, it takes time.
After all, Chu and Zhao are both great powers in the world.
Advisers are like rain, fierce generals are like clouds!
They are all existences that can confront Qin head-on.
on the contrary,
Don’t look at the vast territory of Qi State;
But most of it is newly occupied land.
It takes time to fully digest it.
No one can become fat in one bite.
Guan Zhong also persuaded Han Lin that after taking the land of Wu and Yue this time, Qi would no longer be able to use weapons in a short period of time.
...
PS: After the book test, I realized that it was really a snowy mountain slide when I was reading. All the way down, I didn’t cut it in half, but cut it directly from the neck.
As for the new book, I feel a little regretful that I set up the new book warm-up so early.
This is my first time writing an apocalyptic novel, and I am still upgrading it. It gives me a headache to write, and later I find that there are too many problems. Today, the author will spend a day revising the new book from beginning to end, and strive to resume normal updates tomorrow.
