Chapter 165: All the Deadly
Sinking to Fushan, the top of the mountain.
Luo Qi pinched a branch and gestured casually on the ground. The memories of his previous life were still clear, but unfortunately he could not find any evidence of his existence. Just like the butterfly of Zhuang Zhou, it was illusory and elusive. When he thought of his life of ups and downs, he felt infinite sigh.
Now his name is Wujiang, and he is the prince of Yue.
Wujiang, the sixth-generation grandson of Goujian, was a useless second-generation ancestor. When he succeeded to the throne, the Yue Kingdom had already declined, but he actually wanted to attack Qi and Chu at the same time, intending to demonstrate his might. Unfortunately, things went against their wishes and eventually fell into the coffin with Yue Kingdom.
But the world Luo Qi went to was obviously not the real Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Three months ago, the Yue Kingdom attacked Wu.
On the surface, the Wu Kingdom retreated continuously, but in fact, it did lure the enemy into the deep. After introducing the main force of Yue Kingdom into the jail, the Qin army, which was invited by Wu Kingdom to be reinforcements, suddenly appeared, defeating Yue Kingdom.
But the Wu Kingdom did not gain any benefits, and the Qin army defeated the capital.
The continuous war spread rapidly, and blood was soaked in the vast land. Faced with the arrogant Qin State, Yue State was beaten to a terrible sight. The kings and princes of Yue committed suicide due to defeat. The capital had long been declared to be in danger. The whole country was panicked, and the pain of the destruction of the country was thoroughly marrow.
War is cruel.
The only remaining flag of Yue State is Prince Wujiang. Unfortunately, he was besieged by the Qin army in Guanfushan. The enemy was led by the famous Qin general Li Xin. The prince, who was in trouble, could not escape. Although the Chu State that destroyed Yue in history was also after Wujiang succeeded to the throne, these were no longer important. At this moment, we only need to discuss... how to survive.
Roach threw away the branches and said lightly: "How is the progress of what I asked you to do?"
Han Yue held the scabbard and said respectfully: "When Shi Mairui's army broke through yesterday, his subordinates had secretly obtained two sets of Qin army armor according to His Highness's arrangement."
Roqi raised his eyebrows and said, "How many casualties are our army?"
Han Yue said calmly: "There are sixty seriously injured, and two hundred dead in battle."
Roqi chuckled and said, "It seems that I am really not wrong. Li Xin has two purposes in surrounding the mountain. The first is to consume my food and grass and win without fighting, and the second is to use me as bait to catch our righteous men. The casualties that are far lower than expected can just prove that he does not want to fight with our army head-on."
Han Yue sighed: "Slaying two birds with one stone, Li Xinfeifan."
Luo Qi smiled and said, "Fortunately, the initiative will be in my hands. Since Li Xin wants to use defense as an offense, I will give him an offense instead of defense!"
Han Yue said suspiciously: "Your Highness means..."
Roqi smiled and stood up and said, "Although the situation in our army seems to be desperate, it actually hides the possibility of resurrection. You can immediately pass on my orders and convene all the generals. I will deploy specific action arrangements, and tonight is our performance time!"
Han Yue looked at Luo Qi and said calmly: "...I will receive the order."
===================================================
A cave in the mountains, two o'clock in the afternoon.
Roqi's index finger tapped the table and secretly observed the generals in the hall. He found that they were all panic-looking, and only Shimai and Ling Gufu could remain calm.
These two generals were figures in history from the same period as King Goujian of Yue. At that time, Wujiang's mother should have been still in her womb. In this world, he sat opposite them. It was simply another version of Guan Gong fighting against Qin Qiong, which really seemed a bit ridiculous.
Roqi restrained his thoughts and said lightly: "All the generals are the mainstays of our country, and Xiao Wang doesn't want to say anything nonsense. I just ask one question, how should our army overcome the difficulties in front of us?"
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other with bitter expressions.
Seeing that no one responded, Shi Mai stood up and said, "Your Highness, I think our army is really hard to defend, so I can only let go and break through the encirclement to seek a glimmer of hope!"
Roqi smiled slightly and nodded, "Can you explain in detail?"
Shi Mai took his fist and said, "There are thousands of natural caves connected to each other in the radius of Fushan. Our army can deal with the Qin soldiers, who are known for their toughness, because of these geographical advantages. Unfortunately, Li Xin has given up his strong attack and surrounded us here with the three cities of Ningchuan, Jiaxiang and Jingxiang as the stronghold, and even drove away the nearby people to cut off the possibility of our army's access to supplies. Now our army is seriously in short supply, and we can't defend ourselves and just sit and wait for death!"
Roche refused to comment and said, "Since the general suggested taking the initiative, I don't know if there is a detailed plan?"
Shi Mai stood upright and said, "The last general judged repeatedly and felt that he should attack Ningchuan. The people in this city are rich and can obtain sufficient supplies after conquering them. Moreover, Ningchuan is located in the center and is well-connected. Our army can attack and defend when advancing! However, if we attack Ningchuan, the Qin soldiers of Jiaxiang and Jingxiang will definitely go to rescue. Once the war is stalemate, it will be difficult for us to withdraw. We can only take all our might and seize the only ray of dawn!"
Luo Qi smiled and said with a gentle expression: "Although the general's idea is good, unfortunately there are still some flaws. First of all, we cannot guarantee that reinforcements from the other two cities will capture Ningchuan before they arrive, and even if they get Ningchuan, it will only be a one-step chess. After all, in the absence of a stable foothold, we will definitely not be able to stop the Qin army's next fierce attack, not to mention that Li Xintie will definitely block our army's route back to Shanshan. At that time, we have no choice but to retreat, and we can only hit Li Xin's thoughts."
Shi Mai was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt ashamed. He understood that every word Luo Qi said was reasonable, and finally felt respect for this incompetent prince for the first time in his life. The other generals were also surprised and puzzled at this moment. He did not expect that His Highness, who only knew how to do something wrong, could have such a sophisticated view.
Roqi looked around the generals and smiled and said, "I appreciate Shimai's honest advice. Do you have any other opinions?"
When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, but none of them stood up. Even Shimai, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, could not solve the situation, and they had no choice but to do anything. Ling Gufu looked around and saw that they were all silent. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stood up and said, "I think it's a dead end now. If you want to survive, you only have a plan..."
Luo Qi looked calm and smiled and said, "Who?"
Ling Gufu hesitated and said, "…Surrender."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the generals were upset, and Shi Mai was even more furious and shouted angrily: "Absurd!"
Ling Gu stood upright and said firmly: "I will not be afraid of death, but Your Highness must live. You are the last flag of Yue Kingdom, and you must save your life no matter what. If Yue Kingdom wants to make a comeback, you can only endure humiliation and wait for the opportunity. Your Highness can remember that your ancestors have also... slept on firewood and tasted gall, and became slaves for three years!"
The generals stared at Ling Gufu in a daze, and at this moment they finally understood his good intentions. When they thought of Goujian, the King of Yue who was powerful, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Luo Qi smiled and said, "I like Ling Gufu's frankness, but unfortunately this plan is difficult to implement. The current Qin King Ying Zheng is not the King Fuchai of Wu back then. If I choose to surrender, I will be wiped out immediately. I am afraid I will not have a chance to make a comeback."
Ling Gufu realized the problem when he heard this and his expression turned pale.
