In Luoyi, in front of the "World Chessboard", it was as lively as ever, but this time, someone seemed to have hung up a bigger map.
In the past, this was a serious crime that would lead to exile from China. However, now, the emperor of Zhou retreats to the palace every day and does not know what to do. The excitement during the period of King Zhou Dao is nothing more than a crow pooping on the palace wall.
There was no one to wipe or clean it.
"The territory of Wu State is so huge?"
In front of the huge map, several old doctors were quite surprised, because the territory of Wu State once contained many states that they remembered.
Han State, Yan State, Xu State, Zhongli State, Hu State, Dun State, Zhongwu State, Jiao State...
The entire territory of Wu State is like a triangle, strangely occupying the Huai River and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
"The territory is not as vast as that of Qin, Jin, and Chu. However, it dominates the southeast and has natural chasms and mountains and rivers. It can be said that it has a favorable geographical location."
"If we talk about Wu's innermost enemy, Chu and Yue are the only ones."
"Now the fierce man of Wu State is dominating the Huaihe River, and he has conquered three cities of Chu State. I also heard that the official from Chu State was defeated. Please surrender to the strong man. I am afraid that if Chu State fights again, it will not be able to defeat it."
"The Chu people will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate! With the nature of the Chu people, I am afraid that they will already be fighting fiercely south of the Huai River."
Some people speculate and some argue.
However, Ji, the former Huaguo doctor, laughed and said nothing when he heard everyone talking loudly. He just drank tea slowly.
"Why do you laugh when it's funny? Is there something noble to say?"
Someone with sharp eyes discovered that the former Huaguo doctor was actually smiling there without saying a word. He suddenly felt as if his chrysanthemum had been caressed and his whole body felt uncomfortable.
He stared at the old doctor as if he was furious.
Hu Xie rushed forward and cupped his hands: "How dare I speak lofty words as a barbarian who has subjugated his country? It's just that I once went to Biyang to visit Jiang Yinzi of Wu State. From what I have seen, I'm afraid that the Chu people may not be Jiang Yinzi's enemies."
"Absurd! To the west of Hengshan Mountain is the land of Baiju Dou Clan! If everything goes well, we will be able to reach the south of Huaihe River in just two days. What do the two and three sons think of the power of Dou Clan?"
After saying that, the man stretched out his hands and looked around proudly.
Funny still smiled and didn't say anything.
Someone said in a low voice: "I heard before that the 'Arrow-bearing National Soldier' suffered consecutive defeats at the hands of a strong man in the Dabie Mountains. I don't know whether it is true or not..."
"It's just a rumor! He is such a person as the 'Arrow-bearing Scholar'. Even if Li Jie is lucky, how can he be lucky all the time?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside, and someone shouted: "The Queen Mother of Chu has killed Dou Shi in the capital of Ying! Chu sent envoys to seek peace with the Wu people!"
"..."
"..."
There was a sudden silence in front of the entire "World Chessboard".
"The 'Arrow-bearing Scholar'... was actually executed by the Queen Mother of Chu?!"
"If you destroy your own pillars, the people of Chu will be in danger!"
However, someone asked in panic: "Why was the 'Arrow-bearing Soldier' executed?"
The visitor from the outside replied breathlessly: "Chu State said that it was provoking foreign affairs, and defeated Jiang Yinzi in the Dabie Mountains..."
"ah?!"
Before the person could finish speaking, someone suddenly exclaimed, widened his eyes, and sat down suddenly on the ground.
After Dr. Hua Guo looked at it, he still looked indifferent. There was actually no point in arguing with these people who depended on Chu State for their livelihood.
He just came here to have fun and relieve his depression. At this moment, looking at the huge map in the "Chessboard of the World", Huhua was suddenly stunned and thought to himself: This map does not include the country of Yue. If King Wu succeeds in destroying Yue, Wu will
As countries strive for hegemony in the Central Plains, they no longer have any worries.
Thinking of this, Hu Xue re-examined the map. The map was very rough, but the general international situation was still there.
Based on many years of experience and other intelligence channels in Luoyi, after summarizing it, Huxia suddenly discovered that if King Wu conquered Yue, the entire rear area would be doubled in size.
The two front lines of Biyang and Huaishang are also good grain-producing areas. If managed properly, they will not be worse than the Wuhu area.
Especially since these two places are both navigable, and Wu is a great shipbuilding country, and its boatmen are the best in the world...
As I thought about it, I thought about Li Jie's bravery and how Wu's international situation would not suffer a heavy blow like the other overlords did when there was a problem with the successor.
The internal strife of Chu State was the real main cause of external imbalance.
But Wu State seized this unprecedented opportunity...
"Where is the slider going?"
Someone saw Dr. Hua Guo, who had hit the mark before, stood up to leave, and immediately asked respectfully.
"I'm old and tired. Let's go home and take a nap."
After all, he looked old and stumbling, and when he left the "Chessboard of the World", he looked like he was dying and about to burp at any moment.
After waiting home, Funny jumped down from the bullock cart. After entering the house, he immediately shouted: "Sell the property in Luoyi, leaving only a small room. I want to move to the Kingdom of Wu!"
"ah?!"
In the family home, the funny sons are teaching their grandchildren how to practice calligraphy. The words on the sand table are very neat, and every stroke is meticulous.
However, after hearing the funny words, everyone made a gap in the sand and came out.
"Master!"
The eldest son was very shocked. After he stepped forward and saluted, he asked his father, "Master, are you being persecuted?"
"No."
Xiuxian raised his hand and said, "Before the three sons went to Biyang, I thought they were acting prudently, but now it seems that they are still a little conservative."
After saying this, Hushua looked at his eldest son seriously: "The country of Wu will be prosperous! The country of Yue is in danger. In ten years, if you are lucky enough, you will become a doctor of the state of Wu!"
"The country is in danger?!"
This judgment made the eldest son feel very puzzled, "The Yue State is a big country in the world. Although it is not as good as Wu Chu, nor is it a weak state like Chen and Cai, how can it be easily destroyed? Master, I personally think..."
"I am not negotiating with you!"
Funny glared at the eldest son, "Just follow me and move to the Kingdom of Wu!"
"Hi!"
His face turned red and white. Although the eldest son was not angry, he still bowed and saluted.
After Xiuzhi returned to the house, the eldest son told his brothers and nephews about his father's decision, which immediately elicited a burst of exclamations. Apparently they were also surprised as to how such a decision could be made.
Is the Yue Kingdom so easy to destroy?
If they go to Wu State now, if Yue State survives, what chance will they have to become the officials of Wu State ten years later?!
Absolutely ridiculous!
However, at this moment, outside Kuaiji City, the fierceness erupted by the Gusu King's army was simply unprecedented. All the Wu people were using their most desperate methods to fight for the top of the city.
With the chaos all around, it was impossible to see where the main force of the King of Suzhou was, and where were the young men of the Wu Kingdom. They were so densely packed, there were people everywhere, and there was fighting at every step!
Even the old generals were charging up the wall with Wu hooks in their hands. There had never been such a violent, fierce and even bloody siege.
There is no temptation, no feint, the moment the attack is launched, it is the decisive battle!
"Destroy Kuaiji! Congratulations to the King!"
"Destroy Kuaiji! Destroy Kuaiji! Destroy Kuaiji"
There was obviously no special siege equipment, but the Wu army's terrifying momentum, combined with long ladders and crossbowmen, actually suppressed the Vietnamese army who occupied a favorable position at the top of the city.
In Kuaiji City, King Zongsang of Yue turned pale and shouted quickly: "If I beg to surrender..."
"No, Your Majesty! There must be a brave man under a heavy reward! The King promised a huge sum of money..."
"The West City is destroyed! The West City is destroyed! The West City is destroyed"
"Soldiers, quickly protect the king! Evacuate from the east gate! Evacuate to Kuaiji Mountain! Evacuate to Kuaiji Mountain."
