Qingji raised his head and looked at the head of Gusu City, muttering to himself with a complicated expression.
Gusu City is a newly built royal capital. Qingji was new to the Wu Kingdom. This was the first time we met, and there was no talk of coming back. However, the fate of Wu Kingdom is all here. This sense of familiarity is...
It made him so sad.
After the battle with the Wu army led by Sun Wu, Qingji realized the disparity in strength, gave up his status as a prince, and sent 20,000 elite soldiers under his command to the Jiang Kingdom.
Now the former confidant has settled down in Jiang State, and his status has also changed from a prince of a country to a minister of Jiang State.
However, the belief in avenging his father has never been forgotten, and his confidence has grown rapidly with the strength of Jiang State. Qingji waited silently.
The time has finally arrived.
Seeing a dense mass of defenders appearing on the top of Gusu City, ready to fight, Qingji came to the formation and started beating drums.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of drums beat violently at a speed similar to the rhythm of the heart.
This is not the Kui Niu drum of Qi State, it has earth-shaking power.
This is an ordinary war drum.
But the person who beat it was Qing Ji, and he used Wu Jun’s drum and horn.
Since Sun Wu and Wu Zixu came to Wu, the method of training elite soldiers has changed into the method of Qi and Chu, the two great powers, and has changed beyond recognition.
The new soldiers were very confused, but the old Wu soldiers could understand that this was the sound of drums that was about to launch a charge.
Once upon a time, Prince Qingji was like this, leading them to charge into battle with overwhelming force.
As they listened, many soldiers' eyes became moist and their hands on the weapons loosened.
"not good!"
The famous guard general of Gusu City, Wang Sunxiong, and the prince Fucha were ordered to guard Gusu. Seeing Qingji's heroic appearance beating the drum, his heart sank deeply.
The establishment of the majestic city of Gusu cost more than half of Wu's national strength. It is naturally considered impregnable. Only under the top few cities in the world, even if the enemy army presses the border, the Wu people can resist to the death and support the army until their triumphant return.
.
But now, not only the enemy army is coming, but also the former young master!
Qingji said nothing and just beat the drum, but it aroused the feelings of all the veterans, which is better than a thousand words!
What's more important is that behind him, there is an overwhelming army of 100,000 people.
Except for the passionate drumming, the world is quiet, but the invisible bravery is like a heavy pressure, which makes people breathless.
The fact that they were able to reach the royal city with unstoppable momentum has already explained the problem.
"If the king had not taken away the Water Spirit Pearl, it might still be able to hold it, but now..."
This is the tragedy of a small country with a shallow foundation. It is difficult to take care of both ends. Wang Sunxiong thought about it and felt that it would definitely lose.
However, the sound of the drum became more and more rapid, and the heartbeat also became faster and faster. For a moment, my mouth became dry and sweat overflowed on my forehead.
The drumming suddenly stopped.
The Gusu defenders relaxed, but before they could take a breath, Qingji took a shot with his five fingers, and a spear flew into the air and fell into his hand.
He danced his hands gracefully, raising the handsome flag and waving the tooth flag.
This is the flag!
It means that all armies have received orders from their commanders and generals to move forward like tigers and wolves and start a massacre.
The expressions of all the defenders changed. They held their weapons nervously, even using too much strength, and their fingers turned pale.
But the next moment, Qing Ji pointed his spear downwards and said loudly: "I will not raise the butcher knife to the innocent people, but the hatred of killing my father is irreconcilable. Wang Sunxiong, my father treated you badly in the past.
Bo, were you involved in his death?"
Qing Ji suddenly spoke and asked about the justice of the monarch and his ministers. Wang Sunxiong subconsciously replied: "No!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized something and regretted it greatly.
This answer is indeed true. When King Wu Helu usurped the throne, the participants were his close followers and Wu Zixu.
When the assassin was successful, King Liao of Wu died, and Helu ascended the throne. Since he was of royal blood and his father was King Wu Zhufan, all the officials acquiesced.
But this fact changed after Qingji asked him and answered again, and fell into the ears of King Wu Helu.
Are you nostalgic?
Secretly harboring dissatisfaction?
Words spoken out are like water thrown out, which cannot be taken back. With this grudge, you can imagine your fate!
Wang Sunxiong's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Qingji with fear.
Beat the drum, answer the flag, question!
Feelings, threats, divisions!
Done in one go!
Behind Qing Ji, there must be a master who will take full advantage of his status.
In a situation that is already certain to win, completely destroy the enemy's fighting spirit.
When the preparations were completed and Qing Ji surrendered again, it seemed logical: "Except for the sworn enemy who killed my father, Wang Sunxiong, open the city gate and let bygones be bygones!"
As soon as these words came out, no one in the city scolded them. They looked at each other and became strangely quiet.
Wang Sunxiong felt countless eyes falling on him.
There was panic, desire, and confusion in those eyes, but there was no fighting spirit to fight to the death.
He looked to the left and right again. Several generals under his command lowered their heads, as if they were ashamed to let him reveal their thoughts.
"The situation is over!"
Wang Sunxiong sighed and said: "I am willing to open the city gate, but you must agree to one condition!"
Qingji remained unmoved, showing no surprise or joy: "Say!"
Wang Sunxiong's eyes were sharp: "The people of Wu can follow you, but armies from other countries are not allowed to enter our capital. Can you agree to this, sir?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was secretly shocked.
With such restrictions, Qingji would no longer have an absolute advantage. If Wang Sunxiong broke his promise, wouldn't there be a possibility of counterattack?
This is impossible to agree to!
However, what surprised them was that Qingji responded without hesitation: "Okay!"
Next, he actually led 20,000 original Wu soldiers into the city.
In the avenue, Wang Sunxiong looked at Qing Ji, who was coming towards him, and drew his sword out of its sheath with a choking sound.
The blade of the sword shone coldly in the sun, and the guards on Qingji's left and right changed their expressions and immediately stood in front of him.
"Back off!"
Qing Ji waved his hand and watched Wang Sunxiong slowly approaching. He leaned over and inserted his sword into the ground: "Greetings to Your Highness!"
"stand up!"
Qing Ji said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Wang Sunxiong's body trembled, and he looked at Qingji with sharp eyes: "Your Highness, you want to help other countries annex the Kingdom of Wu?"
Qing Ji was able to fight back because he obviously had the support of a powerful country. So what was the price?
The greatest possibility is to hand over the Kingdom of Wu!
Wang Sunxiong could accept Qingji as his legitimate successor, regain Gusu, and ascend to the throne of Wu King, but he could never accept it. Wu was occupied by other countries without bloodshed.
Not only Wang Sunxiong, but all the soldiers looked at the former prince with bright eyes.
Waiting for reply!
"Everything was as he expected..."
Qing Ji's eyes flashed with admiration and ambition. He raised his spear and his voice rumbled, spreading in all directions: "From today on, we, the Wu Kingdom, will form an alliance with the Jiang Kingdom to destroy the Yue and Fen Chu and strive for hegemony in the world!"
