Chapter 017

Qing Ji could not lead his army into the capital city of Wu without the help of two people, in addition to using the lives of his soldiers and predicting the enemy's opportunities.

One is Jizha.

The second one is Sun Ping!

Jizha was used by Qingji as a bait to attract the main force of Helu's army, so that Qingji's army could attack from the weak points of the Wu capital city's defenders and gain the greatest credit.

Sun Ping took the initiative to surrender and opened the city gate to welcome Qingji's army in!

However, neither Jizha nor Sun Ping could be trusted by the suspicious Qingji.

Qingji made two preparations, so that when Sun Ping opened the city gate to welcome the army into the city, Qingji could lead his troops to march straight in from the west of Wudu City and capture the entire Wudu city in one fell swoop.

All his efforts are accomplished in one battle!

The only flaw is that Helu escaped.

However, if I ran away from Helv, it wouldn’t be a big problem!

After capturing the capital of Wu, Qingji had already become a veritable king of Wu, and was reduced to a bereaved dog, just like a grasshopper after autumn, which could only survive for a few days.

"Where is Sun Ping?"

Hearing this, all the ministers in the audience could not help but look at each other in confusion, not knowing how to answer Qing Ji.

Is it possible that Sun Ping took a leave of absence?

Qingji was very confused.

At this time, the senior official was dismissed and came out again: "Your Majesty, Sun Ping has left with his seal and is nowhere to be found."

"Hang the seal and leave?"

This made Qingji's face darken and he felt very unhappy.

Sun Ping is really disrespectful!

At this time, he actually hangs up his seal and leaves, which makes him disappear!

Isn't this a slap in Qingji's face?

"Exactly. Your Majesty, Sun Ping's servant only handed me a letter in his own handwriting. Please take a look at it!"

After saying this, Beili took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuch who came forward.

Qingji took a look at the bamboo slips and couldn't help but frown!

This letter can be said to be Sun Ping's resignation letter.

It’s different from nonsense like “The world is so big, I want to go out for a walk”!

This personal letter from Sun Ping is very concise and comprehensive——

Mr. Ping is here, and I kowtow to you. Ping is a native of Qi, and he went to Wu to avoid civil strife. I hope that I will not be an official for the rest of my life!

Nowadays, Wu is in turmoil. From King Liao to Guang to the Young Master, those who act as ministers turn their backs on Wang Guang and dare not imitate the Young Master by doing the work of dogs and horses.

With the opening of the city gate, I only hope that the war between Wu and Wu will end soon, and that the Wu people will not fight among themselves and destroy their lives!

I hope you will understand me and don't think about it.

Sun Ping, a grassroots citizen, please join me!

After reading Sun Ping's autographed letter, Qing Ji's expression flickered, making people puzzled.

He could roughly guess what Sun Ping meant.

Sun Ping was probably tired of the endless killings, civil strife, and mentally exhausted, so he moved his family into seclusion!

But, I wonder where Sun Ping went to live in seclusion?

Qingji calmly put the bamboo slips on the table aside, and then said slowly: "Second and third sons, the traitor Ji Guang is now fleeing to the south. He is afraid that he will occupy Wuyuan, Xing, and Yu'er with his remaining troops to resist the king's division.

, split the soil and built a country on its own.”

"In my opinion, what should I do?"

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers lowered their heads and thought, thinking about strategies.

General Meng Bi was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, it is time to eradicate evil! Please lead the army to march south, kill Ji Guang, and completely eliminate future troubles!"

"What General Meng said is absolutely true! Your Majesty, you must raise your troops to kill Ji Guang to avoid future troubles!"

"As the saying goes, there are no two days in the sky, no two masters in the earth, and no two kings in the country! How can your Majesty tolerate Ji Guang being a loner in the south?"

Meng Bi, Hei Fu and other generals all stood up one after another and asked for a southern expedition to wipe out Ji Guang's rebel army in one fell swoop.

But, how can things be so simple?

This is just wishful thinking of the generals!

Therefore, Qingji was noncommittal.

When the superior officer was dismissed, he immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, I thought otherwise. The army came to defend the country. The boats and horses were exhausted all the way. After several battles, the soldiers were tired and the chariots and horses were sluggish!"

"If we continue to pursue the rebel army all the way, I'm afraid that Ji Guang will wait for work and be attacked by the king's army. By then, won't the king's success be in vain?"

What Beli said is not unreasonable.

This is exactly what Qingji is worried about!

As the commander-in-chief of the army, Qingji was very aware of the situation of his own soldiers.

They are exhausted, but they can still fight, but they are at the end of their strength!

If you don't take a break, why fight again?

Moreover, Qingji had just returned as king, and his heart was still undecided, and his affairs were complicated.

How could he escape and conquer Helu himself?

If it were an ordinary person conquering Helv, Qingji would not be at ease.

Because their enemy is Helu and Wu Zixu!

There are not many people in the world who can surpass these two men in marching and fighting.

"What the doctor said is great!"

Meng Bi snorted and said, "Ji Guang is already a lost dog now, so why should we be afraid? If we don't take advantage of Ji Guang's unstable foothold in the south at this time, we can take advantage of the situation and destroy him."

"Do we have to wait for him to really occupy the cities in the south and unite with Vietnam to attack Wu, and we will regret it too late?"

"this……"

I was left speechless.

Meng Ben’s words are crude but not crude!

If Helu really established a foothold in the south, in order to fight against Qingji's Wu State, he would definitely form an alliance with Yue State and fight against each other.

By then, Helu will be even more difficult to deal with, at least he will be a tough guy!

"Ji Guang still has thousands of remnant troops, which should not be underestimated."

"However, as Dr. Li said, Wang Shi is exhausted and cannot fight for a long time. Moreover, Ji Guang is backed by Yue Man and is blocked by dangerous mountains and rivers. I am afraid that suppressing the rebellion will not be a temporary success!"

Qingji expressed his most intuitive judgment.

He knew that if he wanted to annihilate the rebels in Helu, he would not be able to do so overnight!

The south of Wu State is full of high mountains and sparsely populated areas. Many places are filled with miasma and are not suitable for farming.

That's a barren land!

Helv is difficult to develop.

Moreover, to the south of Helu is the Kingdom of Yue. The Yue people are ambitious and send troops to invade the borders of the Kingdom of Wu all the year round, burning, killing, and looting.

This time, if Helu colluded with Yue people in order to survive, it would be impossible for Yue Wang Yunchang to refuse.

Don’t doubt whether Helu can do such a thing!

And once the Yue people get involved, the situation in Wu will become even more complicated.

Qingji can easily overturn!

When the time comes, Qingji doesn't want to waste too many troops in the south and get stuck in the quagmire of war.

Therefore, Qingji must not act rashly until he is strong enough to annihilate the Yue army and Helu's rebel army!

"Meng Ben!"

"I'm here!"

"I order you to immediately lead three thousand troops to the south quickly. You must first rebel and rush to Wuyuan City from the official road. After taking office, you must build city defenses, reinforce fortifications, and defend the enemy. You must strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and defend but not attack!"

"promise!"

Meng Bi was very puzzled, but still accepted Qing Ji's order.

That's three thousand soldiers and horses!

You must know that the Helu army that could escape from the capital city of Wu and rush to the south of Wu State may only have two or three thousand soldiers.

Why is Meng Bi afraid of a battle?

But Qing Ji did not dare to take risks, because the opponent was Helu, Wu Zixu, and Meng Ben. Even if they had the advantage in military strength, how could they defeat them?
