Chapter 32 Wu Jun's victory over Wuxi City

Chen Zhang successfully detoured Suzhou, cut off the Wu Yue army's retreat, and launched a ruthless attack on the Wu Yue army again. Under the double-sided attack, the 30,000 Wu Yue army was almost wiped out. Of course, the most dangerous one was the commander Qian Chuan.

Qian Chuan is the commander of this Wu Yue army and the "qualified prince" of Wu Yue Kingdom. His dual identity determines that his price is considerable in the eyes of the Wu army soldiers, so the Wu army soldiers all stared at Qian Chuan. When Qian Chuan was riding his horse in a panic, a wide trench stood in front of Qian Chuan.

However, he finally successfully flew over the trench. On the city tower in Hangzhou, Qian Kui, who was nearly 70 years old, looked into the distance. The news of the Wu Yue army's defeat in Wuxi had already reached Hangzhou City. Qian Kui Xun was extremely sad. On the one hand, he regretted the 30,000 Wu Yue soldiers who died on the battlefield, and on the other hand, he was deeply worried about the safety of his son Qian Chuan. Qian Chuan was riding his divine helper horse with frustration, and appeared in the distant sight with trauma, Qian Kui could not control his emotions, and tears flowed out of his eyes.

Only hundreds of defeated soldiers were left after following Qian Chuanguan to flee back to Hangzhou. The commander of the two commanders, He Feng, and Wu Jian, died in the battlefield and were buried forever in Wuxi. When Qian Liu saw He Feng's former mount, he suddenly felt sobbing and hugged the mount and cried bitterly! Since joining the army in Shijing Town, Qian Liu has gone through a full forty-four years of military career. From a small deputy general of Shijing Town, he fought bloody battles all the way, and finally occupied the territory of the 11 prefectures of the two Zhejiang provinces and became the king of Wu Yue. The soldiers of Wu Yue were all his soldiers from his hometown, and they all made contributions to the establishment of Wu Yue.

But overnight, more than 30,000 once familiar soldiers were wiped out. Wu Yue State added more than 30,000 new families who lost their loved ones, "The loyal bones were buried by the Wuxi River, and Hangzhou also added a dead wife." And all the blame seemed to be borne by Qian Liu, the initiator of the war. Wu Yue State had also defeated the war in the past, but the degree of the defeat had never reached this level. Qian Liu's inner pain could not be suppressed and spoken!

In order to seize his so-called hegemony and realize his so-called selfish interests, he must sacrifice the lives of so many innocent soldiers. He must increase the pain of so many innocent families? At that moment, Qian Liu finally revealed his true feelings, finally let go of his heart, and sincerely cried for the soldiers who died on the battlefield!

When the families of soldiers and soldiers in Hangzhou City saw Qian Li's true feelings, everyone chose to understand tolerantly, and the possible resentment and complaints that had existed turned into sighs! No matter whether Qian Li's performance was sincere repentance or false show, in short, the effect was achieved, and the hearts of all the soldiers and people in Hangzhou City became more and more attached!

Qian Liu was busy repenting and celebrating the fallen soldiers, and the winning Wu Kingdom was not calm and planned to take advantage of the victory to pursue Suzhou! The Battle of Wuxi completely reversed the passive and unfavorable situation of Wu Kingdom after the Battle of Langshan River, and Wu Kingdom regained the initiative on the battlefield.

The great victory in the Battle of Wuxi stimulated Xu Zhigao, so Xu Zhigao advised Xu Wen: With the momentum of victory, please send 2,000 elite troops to change the costumes of the Wu Yue army, follow the scattered soldiers and brave men of Wu Yue, and take advantage of the chaos to capture Suzhou City. The generals agreed and asked to take advantage of this opportunity to advance all the infantry and cavalry to completely eliminate the Wu Yue Kingdom!

But at this time Xu Wen chose peace, and he said to everyone: "The world has been in chaos for a long time, and the people have lost their power.

Let’s talk about life, and Qian Liu cannot easily deal with it. If war is launched again, it will be your concern. Why not take advantage of this great victory and wait for the truce with Wu and Yue, so that the people of the two countries can live and work in peace and contentment, and the king and his ministers can rest. Isn’t it a pleasure? Why should we kill more creatures?" So Xu Wen led his troops to evacuate Wuxi without hesitation!

In August of the fifth year of Zhenming, Hangzhou City welcomed a group of guests with special identities, including an envoy represented by the provincial official Ouyang Ting, and a group of Wuyue army prisoners in the Battle of Wuxi. Xu Wen was eager to usher in peace as soon as possible, so he took the lead in throwing out an olive branch. Next, it depends on Qian Liu's reaction.

Qian Liu actually longed for peace more than Xu Wen. Although the Wuyue soldiers died and injured countless times in the Battle of Wuxi, Qian Liu did not intend to avenge him. The endless war would only increase the pain of the soldiers and the people. So what if they win, what if they lose.

In the past, the Wu Kingdom, which was fierce and passionate about war, often launched wars at will, and Wu Yue had to deal with the war. Since the Wu Kingdom could give up its identity and actively seek peace, why not respond actively? Therefore, Qian Liu accepted the Wu Kingdom's request for peace very politely. The two sides exchanged letters many times, officially announcing the arrival of a long-term peace period between the two countries.

In his later years of life, Qian Liu and Xu Wen finally abandoned all past grudges and estrangements, and gave up their so-called ideals and goals, and jointly brought peace to the people of Wu Yue and Wu for more than 20 years. The peaceful spring breeze began to blow across the land of Wu Yue. This fresh spring breeze came so timely and softly that the Wu Yue Kingdom began to show a prosperous and prosperous scene.

This kind of scene was hard to see among the forces of various vassal states that were constantly warring at that time. Zhu Youzhen in the north fought with Li Cunxu in Hedong; Li Maozhen in Fengxiang and Wang Jian in the dominance of Sichuan and Shu frequently clashed; Wu and Wu Yue reached a peace agreement, but the war with other neighbors did not stop. Liu Yan, who occupied the wild land of Lingnan, was not willing to be lonely, and fought with the northern neighbors King Chu Ma Yin; even the very weak King Shen Zhi of Fujian often raised troops and had a small fight with several neighbors. For those heroes in troubled times, the real peace seemed to be a thing similar to the moon in the water, like a flower in the mirror. Look, you can, but you can't get it.

Everyone wants to be king and dominate in troubled times and achieve hegemony. The only way to achieve hegemony is war. Only war can achieve hegemony. Therefore, peace is of course the only obstacle to achieving hegemony, so it is of course very difficult to obtain peace. Only Qian Liu seems to have seen through the so-called "being king and dominate and achieving hegemony" and is determined to carry out the peace that he has been pursuing hard in his heart to the end!

When Qian Li was enjoying and breathing the fresh breath and taste of peace on the banks of West Lake in Hangzhou City with a bright look, the people and officials of Wu Yue were naturally bathed in the atmosphere covered by peace. However, Qian Li was not old and confused and dizzy. In the face of several more important diplomatic activities during the peace period, Qian Li still maintained a very clear mind.

Shortly after the old enemy Wu Guo reached a peace agreement with Wu Yue, the political situation changed again! Yang Longyan had been the leader of Wu Guo for thirteen years, of course, mainly as Xu Wen's puppet. The cowardly and timid Yang Longyan performed extremely obediently, obediently, cautiously and cautiously during this period, which prevented Xu Wen from taking any more harm to Yang Longyan. Yang Longyan saved his life like walking on thin ice.

Although Xu Wen is quite polite to Yang Longyan on the surface, not as rude and rude as his son Xu Zhixun, puppets are not so easy to be. Yang Longyan's inner depression and pain can be imagined. He is both depressed and painful, but he cannot vent it openly. Yang Longyan can only drink alcohol to eliminate sorrows, eat to eliminate suffering, and eventually cannot afford to get sick.

In April of the sixth year of Zhenming, Yang Long, who was only twenty-four years old, was terminally ill, and the Wu Kingdom was once again facing the situation of changing its leaders. At this time, someone advised Xu Wen: "Prime Minister, since the King of Wu has no descendants, why don't you be the king of Wu?" Xu Wen was determined to completely carry out his path as a powerful minister to the end. The emperor wanted to do the necessary power ministers. Xu Wen played the role of "Cao Cao", never usurped the throne for life, and became a powerful minister for life. Those things that were criticized will be done by future generations!

Yang Pu, the younger brother of Yang Long, was appointed by Xu Wen as the new king of Wu. Of course, he is still a puppet under Xu Wen's control. However, it would be fine if Xu Wen did not want to be an emperor. He actually wrote letters to Qian Li frequently, asking Qian Li to become an emperor: "Mr. Qian, in fact, you have the capital and conditions to become an emperor. There are hundreds of thousands of elite troops under the name of Wu Yue, and the rich territory of dozens of states. Even our Wu Kingdom is often defeated by you. As for the Liang Dynasty in the Central Plains, you don't need to pay attention to him at all. He probably cannot protect himself now. Mr. Qian, you are also a seventy-year-old. It is time to enjoy the emperor-like life and enjoy the emperor-like addiction. After passing this village, there will be no store!"

Faced with Xu Wen's cunning flattery and instigation, Qian Li, who was nearly 70 years old, did not lose his way. Because Xu Wen's intention was obviously not good, he asked Qian Li to act as the unlucky bird, and Wu State obviously wanted to benefit from it. Qian Li refused Xu Wen's suggestion and continued to be his King of Wu Yue safely. Only fools can do such stupid things as being the emperor.

Rejecting Xu Wen's suggestion to be emperor, Qian Liu felt that the peaceful friendship with Wu was not very reliable. With Xu Wen's cunning personality, it should be his inertia to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation. He would fight with Wu Yue again one day, so he had to find reliable allies!

Among the territory of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the only ones that truly border the land territory of Wu and Yue were actually Wu and the Min Kingdom that dominated Fujian. The territory was not bordering but close to the distance were Chu and Southern Han Kingdom.

In September of the fifth year of Zhenming, Zhu Youzhen removed all the official positions he had previously enthroned Liu Yan, and issued a certificate to Qian Liu, asking Qian Liu to lead troops to conquer Liu Yan, who claimed to have proclaimed himself emperor. The relationship between Qian Liu and Liu Yan was simply irrelevant.

Qian Liu never went to Lingnan in his life, while Liu Yan never went to Wu and Yue in his life. There seemed to be no territory between these two countries. Apart from being famous, they had never met each other, let alone any grudges and revenge! It was just to let Qian Liu lead his troops across the Wu or Min Kingdom to attack the Southern Han Kingdom, which had no grudges and no grudges, just to satisfy Zhu Youzhen's face. Qian Liu was not that stupid?

But Qian Liu seemed to feel something was wrong when he rejected Zhu Youzhen in this cold manner. He had to find some high-sounding reasons: Southern Han is really far away from Wu and Yue, with high mountains and dangerous roads. He also had to pass through Fujian or Wu, which was really not conducive to long-distance marching. Otherwise, he would like to seriously condemn Liu Yan verbally. After hitting a soft nail, Zhu Youzhen had no choice.
