In Gusu city.
The king of Wu returned from a feast of meritorious officials.
Sun Wu was the first to bear the brunt, and Wu Zixu, Jiang Tai and others attended.
"Hahahaha, General Sun, everyone knows that with you sitting in the middle of our Wu Kingdom, destroying Xu Kingdom and Zhongwu Kingdom will be effortless at all." King Wu toasted and laughed.
"Your Majesty, you are being polite, it's just a subject's duty!" Sun Wu shook his head and said.
"General Sun, the next step is for us to enter Chu, right? Now is a great time!" King Wu looked forward to it.
The crown prince Fu Chai also nodded and said: "General Sun, not long ago, the father received an order from the family of the pregnant surname, and all countries will call the mausoleum to form an alliance. It should not be long before all countries will send troops to attack Chu. We must take advantage of the victory to pursue, otherwise, Chu State will be destroyed by other countries, but our Wu State will gain nothing!"
King Wu nodded immediately.
Sun Wu frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that it is not the right time. The eight major surnames cannot personally participate in the world's disputes. They will only find other countries to listen to their orders. Chu is not so easy to attack, and all countries have different ideas! "
"General Sun, I know what you think. Some countries may send troops passively, but even so, Chu State is in prison. If you don't send troops at this time, when will you wait? At that time, there will be hundreds of troops in all countries. Ten thousand troops attack Chu State, Chu State will not be able to stop it at all!" King Wu persuaded.
Although King Wu has the right to give orders, he still hopes to reach an agreement with Sun Wu. After all, he still needs to rely on Sun Wu's power.
Sun Wu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, an army of one million is nothing. The soldiers are good, but not many! In fact, I have also received the order from the pregnant clan, but I think this is not the best time. Wait a little longer. During this period, I am preparing to train an elite army, and this elite army is the key to the pacification of Chu!"
"Soldier training? This is a good thing, how many soldiers does Mr. Sun plan to train?" King Wu laughed.
This is training soldiers for the state of Wu, and the King of Wu is naturally happy to have soldiers trained by a military strategist himself.
"Thirty thousand!" Sun Wu said in a deep voice.
"30,000? Only 30,000?" King Wu immediately showed displeasure.
"General Sun, isn't 30,000 too little? Many of the garrisons in a city exceed 30,000. If these 30,000 soldiers are thrown on the battlefield, they can't make waves at all!" King Wu persuaded.
Sun Wu shook his head and said: "That's enough, as long as I have ideal 30,000 soldiers, I can conquer the world!"
Not far away, Jiang Tai, who was drinking alone, was stunned.
Because when Jiang Tai watched "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in his previous life, he paid a little attention to Sun Wu. Most commanders in history have won and lost. Chang Mei's name is that victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists.
But Sun Wu has won every battle without losing a single one. He has never been defeated on the battlefield in his life, and he has been evaluated as saying that Sun Wu raised 30,000 soldiers, and there is no one in the world who can stand in his way.
Thirty thousand soldiers
However, King Wu and Fu Chai didn't believe it at all. Thirty thousand soldiers? Are you kidding me
"General Sun, 30,000 soldiers, you can practice on the way to send troops. I will recruit 400,000 Wu soldiers for you. I implore General Sun to send troops to fight for the luck of breaking Chu for my country of Wu!" King Wu said again.
Sun Wu smiled wryly, after all, he was not a king, and he was in command of the army, after all, he felt like he was being held back.
"Yes, General Sun, we have considered what you said, but what if, if the Chu Kingdom is captured by all the countries in the world and falls quickly, then it will be too late for us to send troops again!" Fu Chai also persuaded.
King Wu stared at Sun Wu, his mind was already on the battlefield.
Sun Wu didn't know how to persuade him for a while.
"Your Majesty, please listen to General Sun. Mr. Sun is in charge of the overall situation. He said wait a little longer, shall we wait a little longer?" Wu Zixu persuaded.
But King Wu shook his head and said: "Zhu Aiqing, there is no need to persuade, and you are not allowed to persuade any more. I have made up my mind!"
Sun Wu frowned, helpless for a while, and other ministers were not easy to intervene.
"Your Majesty!" Jiang Tai stood up suddenly.
"Oh? Mr. Jiang?" King Wu looked at Jiang Tai suspiciously.
"Jiang Tai, my father has already said it, so don't persuade me any more. Do you still want to persuade my father?" Fu Chai sneered.
Jiang Tai shook his head, looked at Sun Wu, and then looked at King Wu with a smile: "Your Majesty, I saw an interesting story not long ago, and I want to tell you about it!"
"Oh?" Everyone looked at Jiang Tai curiously.
"On the eve of the dispatch of troops, I passed by the back garden. At that time, the dew was soaking my clothes, and a cicada was drinking the dew on the tree, enjoying the rare sweetness in midsummer, but it didn't notice it. At this moment, in its Behind him, there is a hunched praying mantis staring at the cicada!" Jiang Tai said.
"Praying mantis catching cicadas?" King Wu asked puzzled.
At the side, Sun Wu's expression changed, he nodded and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang is saying that he only cares about the immediate interests, but he doesn't know the danger is behind him!"
"Oh?" King Wu frowned slightly, looking at Jiang Tai. Is this persuading yourself
"According to your analogy, is my country of Wu a 'cicada' or a 'mantis'?" Fu Chai interjected.
Jiang Tai continued: "Your Majesty doesn't know that the mantis wants to catch the cicada and eat it, but he doesn't know that there is a yellow bird on the tree behind the mantis, waiting quietly, just waiting for the mantis to catch the cicada. One moment of slack, one blow will kill!"
"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind?" King Wu's pupils shrank suddenly, and his previous brain fever calmed down instantly.
"At that time, I saw a little boy holding a slingshot and aiming at the oriole!" Jiang Tai said.
After Jiang Tai finished speaking, many people in the hall did not understand, but some did.
A flash of surprise flashed in Wu Zixu's eyes.
There was a burst of gratitude in Sun Tzu's eyes.
Fucha frowned.
King Wu instantly realized his previous impulsiveness.
Suddenly, he bowed slightly to Jiang Tai and said, "Thank you Mr. Jiang for your guidance!"
"Your Majesty was joking, I'm just telling a funny story, it's nothing!" Jiang Tai shook his head.
King Wu took a deep breath and said: "Mr. Jiang thinks it's nothing, but he almost stumbled into hatred for the widow!"
As he said that, the King of Wu looked at Sun Wu and said, "General Sun, the widow has just overstepped, and I have promised to let Mr. Sun take full charge of the military. The widow was impulsive and almost made a big mistake. Next, before the destruction of Chu, there will be military For those who disagree, the plan of General Sun shall prevail!"
"Thank you King Wu!" Sun Wu nodded.
Indeed, the most annoying thing about commanding an army is when people who don't understand are pointing fingers.
After the banquet.
Enter Jiang Tai's house.
"Mr. Sun, what advice do you have?" Jiang Tai looked at Sun Wu curiously.
Why did Sun Wu suddenly come to my house
"Today's banquet, thank you for your outspoken advice, otherwise, we will fall into a hard fight!" Sun Wu smiled wryly.
"How is it possible, with Mr. Sun's ability, how could it be possible to fall into a hard fight?" Jiang Tai laughed.
"No, if all countries send troops at the same time, they will have different minds. While attacking Chu, they will also carefully watch other countries. After all, everyone wants to share the great benefits of Chu. If I lead the army now, it will definitely cause trouble. All countries are on alert, and my reputation makes this alert even deeper. At that time, I will not face Chu, but all countries. The more Wu troops, the more difficult it will be to fight!" Sun Wu said with a wry smile.
"Mr. Sun is really thinking deeply, but when is Mr. Sun going to do it?" Jiang Tai asked curiously.
"Soldiers are not good enough. To destroy Chu, you need to catch him by surprise and attack him unprepared. It is just right to cut him seven inches away with one blow. So, we have to wait until the situation is clear, and then we will kill him with one blow!" Sun Wu said in a deep voice. .
"Then I'll just wait for Mr. Shenbing!" Jiang Tai laughed.
Sun Wu stared at Jiang Tai for a while and said, "After you fought against the God of Plague this time, your cultivation has improved?"
"Near death, but a breakthrough by luck!" Jiang Tai nodded without hiding anything.
"Between life and death, there is great fortune. I used the military avenue to open up a place called 'Soldier's Tomb'. If you don't give up, I will train you for a while!" Sun Wu said with a smile.
"Bingzhong?" Jiang Tai showed surprise.
Sun Wu nodded.
"I've heard it a long time ago that the Bingjiao Bingzhong can improve people's cultivation as soon as possible. Mr. Jiang Tai is very grateful for letting me enter!" Jiang Tai said gratefully.
It seems that the little witch attacked the Jindan realm in the soldier's tomb.
"Is there a quiet room?" Sun Wu asked.
"Yes, this way please!" Jiang Tai immediately led Sun Wu to a quiet room.
In an empty room, Sun Wu looked around and waved his hand.
"boom!"
In front of Jiang Tai, a black wormhole suddenly appeared. The wormhole floated in the air of the quiet room out of thin air, swirling in bursts, looking extremely mysterious.
Sun Wu stepped in.
Jiang Tai followed closely behind.
Immediately, the two seemed to have entered a new world, a darker space.
Behind is the exit of the wormhole.
Jiang Tai looked at the space in all directions, there were countless mountains and rivers, but on the surrounding mountains and rivers, there were graves one by one.
"Golden Core Realm!" Sun Wu explained.
"Ka Ka Ka Ka!"
Not far away, cracks suddenly appeared in a tomb.
"Boom!"
A naked palm protruded from the tomb, and gradually, a dead body crawled out of the tomb. The dead body was wearing armor and was holding a long knife in its hand. Should have been a soldier.
"Roar!" The corpse roared, looking towards Jiang Tai and Sun Wu.
"Among the tombs, there is only the battlefield. Here, these soldier corpses will fight you. If you defeat it, there will be stronger soldier corpses crawling out of another grave to fight you, until you can't stand it. It!" Sun Wu explained.
"What a sharpening battlefield?" Jiang Tai's eyes flashed with joy.
"Soldier corpses will not step out of the soldier's mound, so if you really can't resist it, you can exit from here and return to your house. Everything will be safe. However, when fighting, life and death are absolutely on the line, and they will not show mercy. Be careful!" Sun Wu said.
"Thank you Mr. Sun!" Jiang Tai nodded.
The two stepped back into the quiet room before.
"I'm going back. This entrance will stay in your house for a while. After a while, I will take it back. I hope you can make good use of it!" Sun Wu said.
"Mr. Sun, don't worry, this time, I am very grateful!" Jiang Tai nodded.
In a tough battlefield, Jiang Tai naturally wouldn't use a super magic weapon, at most it was just a hoe, in the battle between life and death, to sharpen himself.
At the same time, it has the Sea God Fruit, which can recover as soon as possible.
After sending off Sun Wu, Jiang Tai immediately recruited Tian Yi.
"Master, you called me?" Tianyi asked curiously.
"In the next period, you will be in charge of the intelligence system, and you will be in retreat for a period of time as a teacher!" Jiang Tai ordered.
ps: Guanqi didn’t want to write it like this, but history is like this. It was at this time that a young man told King Wu the story of the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind him!
