"Ling Gufu, I intend to surrender to the Wu people in Kaicheng..."

"What!"

When Ling Gufu heard this, his face was filled with shock. He stared in disbelief and said, "Da Sima, how can you be so cowardly? If we surrender, the country of Yue will really be destroyed!"

"How can you be worthy of the king's trust? How can you be worthy of the soldiers who died at the hands of the Wu people?"

The more Linggu Fu talked, the more excited she became. In a fit of anger, she already put her hand on the hilt of the sword, preparing to kill the treasonous Shi Mai as a warning to others.

Unexpectedly, Shi Mai looked like he was gnashing his teeth and said angrily: "It is God who wants to destroy Yue! How can it be restored by human power?"

"Ling Gufu, don't be stubborn. The Wu people are determined to conquer Yue!"

"I promise you that after the war, I will betroth you the kite. How about it?"

Hearing this, Ling Gufu's eyes widened, as if he had lost all the strength in his body.

Yuanluo is Shimai's daughter, the apple of his eye.

Ling Gufu and Yuan Luo were in love with each other, but they were still unable to get married due to the inability to buy the stone.

Now Shimai actually agreed to this marriage?

With his own country on one side and his lifelong event on the other, Ling Gufu was caught in a dilemma for a while.

Seeing Linggufu's hesitation, Shimai took the opportunity to say: "Linggufu, you are a brave general. If you join the army of Wu, you may not be able to stand out and be reused by the king of Wu."

"Now that the destruction of the Yue Kingdom is a foregone conclusion, why do we need to fight like a trapped beast?"

Ling Gufu fell into silence and did not speak for a long time.

Outside Juwu City, Wu Zixu, who was in the Wu army's formation, was still waiting for the Yue people's reply.

In fact, he only led 5,000 elite soldiers of the Wu army and arrived at Juwu first.

Its purpose was to prevent the Vietnamese army from breaking through and once again escaping to the mountains of Sanyi to mediate with the Wu army to the end.

For the time being, the Wu army had no way to launch an attack on Juwucheng, so Wu Zixu could only choose to send a letter of persuasion to surrender to Shimai, moving him emotionally and rationally, hoping that Shimai would open the city and surrender.

"Kachacha..."

After a long time, the gate of Juwu City, which was originally closed, finally opened.

When Wu Zixu saw this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed!

However, being cautious, he only sent a thousand elite soldiers to enter the city first, seize advantageous positions such as the city gate and Wengcheng, and after confirming that the Vietnamese army had truly surrendered, he led his troops into Juwu City.

As the crimson flag of the Wu army was planted on the city of Juwu, the Yue Kingdom, which had been in power for more than a thousand years, was declared to be destroyed!

…

"Hahaha! Okay! Okay!"

In the Zide Palace of Wu Palace, Qingji, who was originally discussing matters with Dazai Ji Zha and Zhi Neishi Fan Li, couldn't help but be overjoyed after receiving the battle report from Juwu Front.

Even though Qing Ji became the King of Wu and had been in power for many years, and had developed the ability to hide his emotions and anger, this war really made him very happy.

"Uncle, young uncle, you see. This is the defeat reported by Sun Wu and Wu Zixu. The Gumi and Yue kingdoms were destroyed by our Wu army in just one month, and the three barbarian lands were all owned by our Wu kingdom! "

Qing Ji handed the battle report in his hand to Jizha and Fan Li. He clenched his fists and said with a smile: "My country in the south of Wu will be safe from now on!"

Looking at the battle report in their hands, Ji Zha and Fan Li couldn't help but look at each other and nodded slightly.

As the Yue Kingdom and the Gumi Kingdom were destroyed one after another, the south of the Wu Kingdom was full of insignificant Shanyue tribes, and there was indeed no need to worry.

At this time, the Wu State was able to free up its hands to deal with the Chu State to the west with all its strength!

Since Qing Ji succeeded to the throne, he defeated Chu in the west, took four cities along the Yangtze River, destroyed Yue and Gumi in the south, and destroyed Han in the north, opening up more than a thousand miles of land and nearly doubling the territory of Wu.

His civil and military skills are unparalleled by the previous kings of the Wu Kingdom.

According to Qingji's own estimation, Wu's population also increased a lot during this war to destroy the country.

The country of Yue has more than 400,000 Lishu, and the country of Gumi has a population of nearly 40,000. Together with the original 1.5 million people of the country of Wu, adding up, the current population of the country of Wu is nearly 2 million.

!

Almost following the Chu State!

Jizha looked at the heroic Qingji in front of him, stroking his beard and smiling, filled with emotion in his heart.

It was Ji Zha's honor to be able to assist a great leader like Qing Ji.

Perhaps, under the leadership of Qing Ji, the rising state of Wu can really be like Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, and King Zhuang of Chu. The nine princes combined to rule the world and achieve Wu's hegemony!

"Your Majesty, I believe that although our country of Wu has destroyed Yue and Gumi, there are still many aftermath matters that cannot be underestimated."

Ji Zha bowed and said: "The Yue people, Gumi people, have unruly temperaments and may be difficult to tame. The king should also decide how many garrison troops to station in the south. He should also send officials to govern the Yue and Gumi lands, so as to appease the people of the Southern Barbarians.

Return to your heart, and the Kingdom of Wu will be in great power!"

Hearing this, Qingji nodded in agreement.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to conquer the world, but even harder to defend it!

The State of Wu had conquered Yue and Gumi, but how to govern them was a big problem that urgently needed to be solved.

The cultures of Wu and Yue are similar, and it is not difficult to integrate them. However, after experiencing the suffering of the war, it is inevitable that some unruly Yue people still feel resentful towards Wu.

It will take at least several generations, decades or hundreds of years before the Wu State can become the Wu and Yue family, and there will be no barriers from now on.

However, this is just a conventional method to let time eliminate the hatred and hostility in people's hearts.

Qingji is a person who never follows the rules!

After thinking about it secretly for a long time, Qing Ji finally said in a slow voice: "Uncle, I want to live in Gumi, so in the land of Yue, I established Kuaiji County, which has jurisdiction over each county. It has a county governor to manage local government affairs, a county magistrate to assist, and a county.

A lieutenant is in charge of the military affairs of a county."

"The county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant complement each other, just like the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant. They govern Kuaiji County. The county government is determined to be in Kuaiji."

Upon hearing this, both Jizha and Fan Li could not help but stare in surprise.

Kuaiji County?

County is an upgraded version of county, with a larger jurisdiction and more officials!

Hearing Qing Ji's thoughts, Dazai Jizha had to frown and said: "Your Majesty, it is good to use counties to govern Yue and the land of Gumi."

"However, the Kuaiji County envisioned by your Majesty is far away from the capital of Wu, and the power of the county governor is so great. The veteran ministers are afraid that over time, people's minds will be confused, and if there are treacherous ministers who separatist power, it will bring disaster to the country!"

Jizha's worry is not unreasonable.

If it's just like the previous counties, there's nothing wrong with it. A mere county can't make much waves.

However, the jurisdiction of this county is too large. Once someone causes rebellion, wouldn't the State of Wu have to send troops south to quell the rebellion?

In order to destroy a Yue country, Wu paid a high price.
