Tian Jingwen frowned and stood in front of the map, on the map, the shocking red almost occupied most of the entire map, and these red areas represent that the area has fallen into the hands of the Han army, Jimo, Judu, and most of Pinglu, which have now been occupied by the Han army, and the area that is really controlled by the Qi State is only one Linzi left, and there is also a Gaotang, but it is a self-contained system, and the attitude is warm and ambiguous, and it is difficult to place much trust. Gao Tang waited for Bai Cheng to be willing to go to Linzi to defend, Tian Jingwen also nodded in agreement, because he felt that putting this family letter in Linzi, with the Linzi Guards and the Palace Guards watching together, would be easier to control, if Bai Cheng stayed in Gaotang all the time, maybe he would bite back at some point.

Pinglu must be defended, otherwise Linzi will be attacked on several sides, now after the southern field army of the Han State occupies Judu, it can drive straight into Zhangjiadian District, and Pinglu is lost, the opponent's new first army will be able to attack Boshan District, at that time Linzi is really undefendable.

But with this little bit of people in his hands, one point on both sides, how can he resist the opponent's attack?

If the Han army does not move, it will be an army of 100,000, and the plan of the country to be far away can be said to have been premeditated and prepared!

The two roads are more than 50,000 strong troops, how can they resist? Tian Jingwen only felt that □ head hurt badly.

In the past two years since returning to China, Tian Jingwen has supported the overall situation in the military, but he is already in his thirties, and he looks more than ten years older than his actual age, which can be described as exhausting.

The eldest prince began to recruit troops again in Linzi, saying that it was a recruitment, but he was actually arresting Ding. In the past, the conscription still maintained the principle of not smoking, but now, where can I take care of these, as long as it is of the right age, will be conscripted into the army, here, naturally, it is indispensable to forcibly grasp the forced conscription, I heard that in order to avoid military service, many families in Linzi have begun to flee.

The people have no desire to fight!

Tian Jingwen knew that the conspiracy of the Han Kingdom was also indispensable here. In the past few years, the various compensation silver taels extorted by the Han State from the Qi State have emptied the treasury of the Qi State, and in order to maintain the army and the cost of warfare, the imperial court can only continue to increase the grain and the tax, and the area that can collect the grain is getting smaller and smaller.

Economic oppression, military oppression, the Han State two-pronged, the effect can be described as obvious.

In addition to these, the Han State Supervision Yuan is also pervasive, through guò all kinds of ways, countless small works infiltrated the Qi country, in various places to promote the benefits of the Han state, tell the people of the Han country, the people of the Han country have free land, there are very low taxes, no forced labor, no apportionment, these statements, at first no one believed, but after a long time, there are always bold people through some hidden channels to flee to the Han country, after they escaped, the information brought back let more people know the true situation of the Han country, It makes the hearts of the people more unstable.

Tian Jingwen knew that what these details said was true, because he had been in the Han Kingdom for a long time, but he also knew very well that the national policy of the Han State could not be imitated by the Qi State, at least for now, it was impossible to imitate it.

He is now very worried, Jimo, Ju have fallen into the hands of the Han State, according to the consistent policy of the Han State, the next step must be to divide the land to the households, the government low-interest loans to the households, in order to buy people's hearts, they will even allocate cattle and horses and other livestock for the people for free, anyway, these are extremely convenient things for the Han State, how much they want, how much the prairie can provide for them. Once Jimo and Judu began to implement these policies, in the past two years, the information that the imperial court has been trying to block can no longer be hidden, and Tian Jingwen can even imagine that a large number of Linzi people will flee at that time.

Qi country, is it really about to die?

"General Tian." At the door of the tent, a voice sounded, Tian Jingwen raised his head, and said in surprise: "Lord Niu, aren't you going back to Linzi?"

Standing at the door of the tent was Niu Fuchen, who was in charge of intelligence work in Qi State, and behind him, there was another person wearing a cloak.

"Originally, I was going back to Linzi, but I encountered an important thing temporarily, so I came back again, and I brought someone who might be able to solve the dilemma that our Qi country is facing now."

"Who?" Tian Jingwen's eyes swept to the man wearing a hood behind him.

The man took off his cloak and showed his true face: "General Tian, let's meet again?"

"Flat soil?" Tian Jingwen was really taken aback.

"The world is so unpredictable!" As he walked inside, he sighed: "Not long ago, you sent Lord Niu to beg me to stop the war, but time has passed, but I am coming to beg you to take it in!"

"Please take me in?" Tian Jingwen's eyes flashed, and he turned his head to look at Niu Fuchen.

Niu Fuchen smiled and dragged a chair over, "General Bian Yang, please sit down, General Tian, you also sit, listen to me slowly."

The three of them sat down, Tian Jingwen beckoned the guards to bring tea, and Niu Fuchen took a sip of tea, "On the way back to Linzi, I met the intelligence officers of the Chu State, so let's say, where are they waiting for me?" Niu Fuchen looked at Bian Yang and asked with a smile.

"This is all the arrangement of General Qu Wan." Flat soil owes a body.

"At first, when I heard this request, I was also surprised and couldn't believe it, but I thought that this was also an opportunity for us Daqi, after all, we were already exhausted, so I had the courage to follow them to General Bian's camp, thinking that I was alone, and they wouldn't do anything to me. After I went, I realized that they were not slandering me, but that General Pyongyang, like us, was also cornered."

"But what do you mean by that?"

"Three days ago, General Qu Wan had broken through the siege and returned to Linyi." Bian Soil Road.

"Isn't there tens of thousands of people from the southern wilderness of the Han Kingdom surrounded by Jucheng?" Tian Jingwen asked in surprise.

"They did surround there, but General Qu Wan not only broke through the siege, but also severely damaged one of them when he left, and then returned to Linyi safely with the main force." Bian Yang said proudly.

Looking at the appearance of Bian Yang, Tian Jingwen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, although he admired the bent wrist in his heart, he still couldn't help but sneer: "So General Ping Yang became the lone army that was abandoned, or rather, General Qu Wan used your troops to succeed in this breakthrough?"

"It's my honor to be able to save the general without me!" Bian Yang laughed.

"Okay, two generals, let's stop talking about these gossips, let's talk about cooperation!" Niu Fuchen looked at the collision of words between the two generals, and quickly interjected: "General Bian Yang, tell General Tian what you think!"

"Okay!" Bian Yang nodded: "General Tian, I am now a lone army, there are no reinforcements outside, no food and grass inside, it can be said that I am in a desperate situation, after Nanye opposite me suffered a big loss from General Qu Wan, this fire must want to vent on me, with my current state, I can't carry it for long, so, I think of you, we have a common enemy now, don't we?"

"But you Chu people are also our enemies, and you also want to annex our Great Qi, don't you?" Tian Jingwen asked with a sneer.

"Not bad!" "But I think that even if there is a war between our two countries, it is not a matter of now, because the Han army is coming, and they will not only fight you, but also our Chu army, and this is the basis of our cooperation. You are short of soldiers, you are short of well-trained soldiers, and I have 25,000 fully armed and experienced soldiers, but I have no food and grass, no supplies, one arrow is one less, and one sword is less, so for us, a combination is a both, and a split is a defeat."

"How can I trust you that after I replenish your logistics, you will do your best to fight for me?" Tian Jingwen asked rhetorically.

Bian Yang smiled, "Please rest assured General Tian, even if I fight with the Han army in the ensuing battle, until the whole army is annihilated, and there is not a single Chu army left, I will never take half a step back, as for the real reason?" General Tian, do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear lies?"

"Nature is true!" Tian Jingwen said with some annoyance. Since you said that we are mutually beneficial, then openness and honesty are the most basic requirements."

"Okay, since General Tian wants to listen to the truth, I said that you don't have to be angry, because my Great Chu's desire to annex your Qi State will not be extinguished because of temporary setbacks, in the eyes of our Chu State, it will be much easier to seize Qi from you in the future than from the Han army in the future, so we can't let the Han army succeed, I will do my best to prevent the Han army from occupying Linzi and then control the entire Qi country." Bian Yang is blunt.

Tian Jingwen was so angry that he almost fell to the ground, grabbed the tea cup on his seat with his backhand, and was almost about to smash it, but he held back stiffly, and Niu Fuchen on the side also had an extremely ugly face.

"Look, this is the truth, I say this, it should make General Tian believe that he will do his best in the next battle with the Han army!" Flat Soil spread his hands and shrugged.

"Okay, good, in the eyes of you Chu and Han people, my Daqi is a piece of fat, okay, I promise you, I want to see who can eat my Daqi in one bite." Tian Jingwen stood up.

"So, General Tian agreed!" Bian Yang also stood up, "I first garrison in Panjiayu, there is not a place to stay for a long time, after General Tian replenishes my supplies, I will retreat to Zhangjiadian, which is a mountainous area, and the Chu army I led is still very experienced in fighting in the mountainous area, I dare to assure General Tian that with me in Zhangjiadian for a day, it is impossible for the Han army to cross Zhangjiadian, as for the other direction, it depends on General Tian."

Tian Jingwen stared at Bian Yang for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand to him: "Okay, an enemy in the open is much better than an enemy hiding in a dark corner, regardless of each other's positions, I still appreciate your frankness."

"I'm a soldier, not a politician!" "Straight to the point, sometimes it is better to gain mutual trust, although we have been, are, and will be enemies, but this does not prevent us from working together for the sake of a short-term common interest," he said with a smile.

"Although I am disgusted by this kind of cooperation, I still want to say at this time, happy cooperation!"

The two hands were clasped tightly together, and the two pairs of eyes that shone with cold light also collided together. (To be continued......)
