Kuaiji County.

The capital of Wu County.

The Palace of the King of Wu.

A fast horse 800 miles away, carrying a court edict, rushed straight to the palace of the King of Wu and presented the edict to the King of Wu.

"Report——!"

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

King Xiang Bi of Wu opened the edict.

In this imperial edict, Prince Xiang Bi of Wu was scolded by the arrogant and domineering person, and ordered Princess Xiang Xiang to send assassinations to assassinate the imperial officials and raise soldiers and horses. She had the intention of being unjust, and she cut off the titles of princes and was given to her death.

If the King of Wu knew of his crime, he would quickly surrender his crime, disband his troops, and ask the court for forgiveness, and he could spare his death.

"It's outrageous. Xiang Yanran is too bullying!"

King Xiang Bi of Wu was so angry that his whole body was trembling and furious.

No news of Xiao Hunhou's death came.

But after that, it was a court edict that he even asked him to submit his crimes, send his troops and beg for mercy to die.

The court, Emperor Xiang Yanran, was riding on his neck to shit! What a contempt!

Auntie is tolerant, uncle is tolerant!

Is it easy to bully him when Wu State?

Xiang Xian, the prince of the King of Wu, looked at the imperial edict, looked shocked and said in a lost voice: "Father, the court, the court has ordered the reduction of the vassal state! Our Wu Kingdom is the first to be affected! What should we do?"

"What else can I do? Now the emperor is stupid and there are all the ministers around him who want to kill all the kings and princes of the Xiang family. I want to raise an army immediately, kill the foolish ministers, clear the king's side, and restore this bright world!"

"But, Xiao Hunhou has not died yet! We agreed with the princes and the Huns to take Xiao Hunhou's head to the top and throw the cup as a trumpet to rebel together!

Now Xiaohunhou is not dead. If the Wu Kingdom took the lead in rebelling, they would not rebel. We have become the pioneer ashes, what should we do?"

Xiang Xian said anxiously.

"Don't matter if he is young and humble!

The other princes and the Huns were not idiots. Xiang Anshi had long wanted to raise an army. Don’t they look at the situation? Our Wu Kingdom will immediately raise an army and immediately start an army!

Go and summon all the ministers and generals of our Wu Kingdom, and ignite our 50,000 elite army, and rebel!"

King Xiang Bi of Wu was furious.

"yes!"

Xiang Xian hurriedly said.

Soon, many ministers and more than ten generals of the Wu State were summoned.

When they heard the King of Wu say they wanted to rebel, they were not afraid, but instead were all injected with chicken blood, and were extremely excited.

They had long known that the King of Wu had the intention of being unjust, but were just waiting for the opportunity.

Once King Xiang Bi of Wu captured the world, ascended the throne and became the emperor of the Great Chu, they were the ministers of the dragon.

At that time, they all became successful, made marquis and generals, and held the world with the King of Wu.

What a majesty, what a grandeur!

There is no need to stay in this small country of Wu, several counties.

"The treacherous ministers of the court are in power and persecuted my Xiang family loyalty. I want to raise an army, behead the treacherous and slandered, and clear the king's side. Can you follow me?"

King Xiang Bi of Wu sat high in the hall, majestic and majestic.

The prince Xiang Xian stood on one side.

"Yes, King Wu!"

"Listen to the orders of the King of Wu!"

The ministers and generals shouted in unison.

"Report to the king, our country of Wu already has 30,000 elite cavalry and 20,000 elite infantry, a total of 50,000 elite soldiers, well-trained."

"In addition, our Wu Kingdom has smelted iron for many years and has sufficient armory, spears, and swords. We immediately recruited strong men from twenty to forty in the territory, and in an instant, they could form a huge army of 200,000 people."

General's way.

"good!"

King Xiang Bi of Wu was extremely satisfied.

Although the other 200,000 troops were temporarily convened, the title of these 200,000 troops was scary enough to hear the momentum of this 200,000 troops.

soon.

The 250,000 army of Wu State completed the assembly in Wu County.

In fact, when the Great Chu established a dynasty and banished states, the land of Wu was barren and cold, with a large area of ​​sparse population.

The court did not look down on the land of Wu at all. In order to open up the land, the King of Wu was enfeoffed and moved a large number of people from the Central Plains south to Wu.

But unexpectedly, after the 70 years of vigorous development by the king of Wu, the population of Wu has increased several times, with a population of millions, and gradually becoming rich.

In addition, privately cast copper coins are widely used to produce salt and iron.

The Wu State's financial resources became extremely rich, and it raised 50,000 elite soldiers and soldiers.

Only then did the Wu Kingdom have the strong strength to challenge the imperial court.

Among the dozens of vassal states of the Great Chu Dynasty, Wu had the widest fiefdom, the strongest financial resources, and the most powerful.

...

After hundreds of thousands of troops of Wu State gathered, they issued a manifesto to fight against the treacherous and slandered, and immediately sent troops.

Inside the Wu army camp.

King Xiang Bi, Xiang Xian, and the generals were looking at the map.

"The court had a central government main force of 500,000 and local garrisons of 500,000, which was as high as one million. It seemed that the strength was not good. However, it was scattered all over the place and was not concentrated, but it was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

There were 300,000 elite cavalry in the north, guarding against the four or five hundred thousand Xiongnu army to move south.

There were 100,000 elite infantry stationed in southern Xinjiang to guard against the rebellion of the Southern Barbarians such as Minyue.

These two armies dare not be easily mobilized.

Emperor Jinling had 100,000 elite soldiers, which was the only reserve army. It was more than enough for normal times, but the war was a little nervous.

In addition, in each of the fifty counties of the Great Chu court, there were about 10,000 troops in each county, which were used to shock bandits and local tyrants, so that they would not dare to rebel.”

"The real enemy of our Wu Kingdom is the 100,000 main force of the Jinling imperial capital. There are some other scattered troops."

"Our Wu State starts from Kuaiji County and can directly attack Jinling City, the imperial capital. Take down the imperial capital and hold the emperor to command the princes, and the world will be in my hands!

But...this is obviously not a good idea.

On this map, there are three big cities, including Jinling City, Wanling City, and Wuxian City, which are triangles, five hundred miles apart.

The Jinling Imperial Capital is the world's largest city, tall and strong. It has 30,000 imperial guards and 70,000 permanent troops, all of which are elite troops of the court, very powerful and difficult to attack.

It is necessary to have more than five to ten times the strength of the troops and a million troops, and to take turns to attack hard, we can hope to break through this world's most powerful city.

To conquer Jinling City, it can take one or two months to a long time of half a year.

All the power of the princes must be gathered to attack.

Wanling City in Danyang County is located on the southwest flank of Jinling City. Wanling City has 10,000 garrison troops and is very weak. Even if it is temporarily expanded, it will be at most about tens of thousands.

Once our Wu Kingdom attacks Jinling City.

Other troops of the imperial court can set out from Wanling City at any time, pounce directly on Wu County, Kuaiji County, to copy the territory of the Wu Kingdom's nest, and cut off my retreat."

King Xiang Bi of Wu pondered.

When he was young, he once went to the battlefield of the Huns in the north, often leading the way, killing generals and raising flags, becoming the number one general of the Xiang family royal family and was very proficient in wars.

His prestige in the Great Chu Dynasty army was also quite high, otherwise he would not have been so contemptuous. The emperor Xiang Yanran, who had once defeated the war.

This time when Wu State rebelled, he himself was the commander-in-chief who led the troops to fight and commanded the generals of Wu State.

"Our army will first attack Wanling City to have enough safe space.

The prefect of Wanling, Xie Anran, is a young boy, a weak and romantic scholar, and has never fought a war. I can kill him with one hand!

This king took down Danyang County, held Kuaiji County, and attacked Jinling City from east to south. Our Wu army could have no worries.

Our army calmly stationed outside Jinling City, waiting for the decisive battle in the imperial capital.

The rest depends on the King of Chu, King Qi, King Zhao, etc., who lead the army south to join, besiege the imperial capital, and destroy the Dog Emperor."

King Xiang Bi of Wu made a major plan to pay tribute to the generals.

"But, we will go to fight Wanling City. Will the emperor take the opportunity to send troops to attack Wuxian?"

The prince Xiang Xian was worried.
