There is a delay in the delivery of news these days, and Bo Pi can only get news from many days ago.
"Sixty thousand..."
The husband gnashed his teeth angrily, but at the same time he was secretly frightened in his heart: "Where is the State of Chen? Have the envoys who were sent to the State of Chen returned?"
Bo Po bowed his head and said: "When I return to the king, the whole Chen country is unanimous and will do its best to prevent the imperial troops from crossing the border!"
"Um……"
Fu Chai seemed to have suddenly thought of something, a gloomy look flashed across his face, and he raised his eyes and glanced at Bo Pu below: "Do you remember that King Chen's son is still in Wudu?"
"The situation has been turbulent recently. To avoid any accidents, it is better to bring him to the palace to stay for a while."
Bo Po raised his head and showed a somewhat troubled expression: "Your Majesty..."
Before he could say anything, Sun Wu came out and said: "Your Majesty, in order to prevent King Chen from repeating his behavior, I imprisoned Chen Liu in my residence."
"I see."
Fu Chai suddenly realized, and his expression softened a little: "The general has thought carefully. In this case, let him stay in your house first!"
"General, how many troops are left in Wudu alone?"
Sun Wu then handed over his hand and replied: "When there was any change in the court the day before yesterday, I ordered the three armies to slow down the offensive, leaving a small number of troops to delay the Vietnamese army, and most of the troops returned to defend. Now all the 80,000 combatable troops are far away from the capital of Wu.
It’s not far!”
"Hahaha! Okay!"
Only then did Fu Chai laugh reassuringly: "The general is indeed the humerus of the country. He takes advantage of every move he makes!"
As if all his worries were gone, he couldn't help but stand up and take a few steps, his eyes gradually gaining a dangerous look: "Eighty thousand versus sixty thousand, the advantage lies with me!"
Fu Cha suddenly turned his head and looked at Sun Wu below: "General, can you mobilize the army to cross the Chen border and attack the imperial troops head-on?"
Sun Wu raised his head and looked at Fu Chai's head with disbelief.
Fu Chai thought he was shocked by his own plan, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became: "We are fighting in the territory of Chen State. We, Wu, can advance and attack, and wipe out all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court! We can retreat or defend, and use Chen State as a barrier."
, the soldiers of the imperial court are outside!"
"If the grain supply is cut off, the imperial court will definitely become impatient and confused. However, I, the Wu Dynasty, can advance and retreat freely. We will use strong soldiers and strong horses to deal with the tired and impatient people, slow down and plan for them, and grind them out..."
When Sun Wu saw Fu Chai talking eloquently, he realized that he was not joking and hurriedly reminded him: "Your Majesty, the number of soldiers the imperial court can fight is far from 60,000!"
"If we fight between Chen and Zheng, the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of troops will surely arrive in a steady stream, and the 80,000 Wu troops will definitely be no match for them. This is one of them!"
"Our country of Wu is based on the natural dangers of the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. The water network is densely covered, and the boat divisions are powerful. If we go north to resist the enemy, we will use our own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points. This is the second choice!"
"The soldiers of the Wu Kingdom are stationed in the Wu Kingdom to protect their homeland and their morale is at its highest! If Yu Chen were to attack the imperial soldiers, their morale would definitely not be as good as before. This is the third reason!"
"Fighting in Chen, our army's food and grass supplies will surely extend the front line..."
As Sun Wu continued to list the reasons, Fu Chai's expression gradually turned from bright and cheerful at the beginning to embarrassment: "Okay, General Sun, there's no need to say more."
"Since what the general said is reasonable, let Gu's 80,000 troops be stationed in Wu to prevent accidents!" Although Fu Chai was a little dissatisfied, he still respected Sun Wu's opinion.
"The king's concerns are wise and thoughtful!"
Bo Pu finally took the opportunity to speak, smiled and bowed: "But I understand that the imperial army cannot get through, and water transportation is cut off. Where will the imperial army get the food supply to go out?"
"Without Da Wu's approval, even if they build the canal, water transportation will not be possible. Over time, they will definitely be unable to bear it, and they will have to beg for mercy from our Da Wu!"
Fu Chai's face softened a little, and he nodded slowly, with hatred in his eyes: "It won't be as easy as before if you want to continue transporting water by then!!"
Today's business is over and the court is over.
Bo Chu followed Fu Chai to the palace again, and Fu Chai's expression was far less happy than at the court meeting.
"Sun Wu! Without Gu's orders, he actually ordered the army to take charge! Before the Yue Kingdom was destroyed, he actually ordered people to take charge..." Fu Chai's eyes flashed with danger.
Wouldn't this withdrawal of troops give Yue a chance to breathe? How long will it take to destroy Yue?
Bo Pu's heart skipped a beat. This was not the time to argue with Sun Wu. He hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, the general is also for the safety of Wu..."
"Gu knows." Fu Cha waved his hand and glanced at Bo Pu: "Why do you think Gu praised him at the court meeting?"
Bo Po smiled and then said: "I don't have as many ministers as your Majesty..."
Before he finished speaking, a palace attendant hurriedly came here and handed over a memorandum: "Your Majesty, this is the advice of the doctor Wu Zixu."
Fu Chai frowned when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to repel the palace man.
But Bo Pu advised from the side: "Your Majesty, let's take a look. What if Doctor Wu has any suggestions?"
But Fu Chai gave him a high look: "Don't you have a grudge against Wu Zixu? Why do you still persuade me to look at his things?"
Bo Pu's expression became serious, and he immediately raised his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, the grudge between me and Wu Zixu is personal, and what is stated in the memorial is definitely a major political matter. How can I disturb the king's major affairs with my personal grudge?"
"good!"
A smile appeared on Fu Chai's face: "Dazai is indeed a pure and loyal minister. I didn't misjudge you."
He smiled and took the memorial from the palace servant and opened it.
However, the smile on Fu Chai's face did not last long. The more he read the memorial, the colder and worse his expression became. Finally, he suddenly tore the memorial into two halves and threw it to the ground!
"Wu Zixu is a national traitor!!"
The husband was so angry that he cursed on the spot: "I have disobeyed Gu's will many times in the court meeting, and I don't care about this thief. I ordered him to reflect at home and not go out. But he didn't appreciate it and even wrote this thing to humiliate me."
solitary!!"
A smile flashed in Bo Pu's eyes. He knew that as long as Fu Chai saw Wu Zixu's memorial, this would definitely be the result.
However, Bo Pu didn't say much, but picked up the memorial on the ground and roughly scanned its contents before gently shaking his head and sighing.
"Your Majesty, Doctor Wu may also have good intentions..."
As soon as he said this halfway, he was interrupted by Fu Chai's angry words: "My mother is so kind!!"
"This old dog was frightened to death by the news that the imperial court had mobilized troops. He wanted Gu Gu to immediately return the land he captured from the Yue Kingdom, and to admit his mistake to the imperial court and beg for its forgiveness!"
"Obviously this is a foolproof situation. If Ruo Gu is frightened by the imperial court, how can he lose his face? How can I, Da Wu, save my face??"
"Alas~"
Bo Pu also sighed quietly and said helplessly: "During the reign of the late king, Dr. Wu still often gave advice and advice, and I also made good friends with him."
"He just relies on his status as a hero in two dynasties and doesn't take Gu Gu seriously!" Fu Chai interrupted him angrily.
Bo Pu also shook his head helplessly: "Doctor Wu is indeed a little out of line. I also heard people say that he always goes out quietly these days to meet various friends..."
