1478.The Battle of Handan (1)
The next morning, in the afternoon.
Zhao Sheng led all the elites of Zhao State to confront Qi Jiao, and this time the coaches of both sides looked at each other.
The two of them walked in the center of the battlefield, followed by a warrior, Qi Jiao sat cross-legged on the ground, and Zhao Sheng also sat cross-legged on the ground.
Qi Jie handed Zhao Sheng a glass of wine, and then said: "The world knows that I Qi Jie is despicable and shameless, and Childe is still willing to meet me, and I admire Childe's courage!" ”
Zhao Sheng smiled, then waved his hand and said: "If I am murdered by Gongzi, the army behind me will definitely hate Gongzi, and my three thousand soldiers will also hate Gongzi!" ”
"Can Childe sleep soundly?" Zhao Sheng looked at Qi Jie and said, Zhao Sheng has his own courage, and at the same time, he must be confident enough, Qi Jie does not dare to harm him.
Qi Jie smiled after hearing this: "In this battle against Zhao, my Qi country needs to defeat Zhao State in a dignified manner, if you use some despicable means, even if you defeat Zhao State, Zhao people will not obey my Qi State!" ”
Qi Jie thought about disintegrating the Zhao State from the inside, after all, the current Zhao State can be described as a disintegration, but the Zhao State is different from the Wei State, their internal unity is abnormal, there is no gap at all, it can be said that Qi Jie's mind has no effect in the hearts of these Zhao people.
Similarly, the unity of Zhao Guo also made Qi Jiu feel a trace of fear, they were very united, and the cohesion formed a strong fighting force.
This combat effectiveness made the Zhao army in the war, that is, it was not weak for a long time, on the other hand, their Qi country, in the strong will to fight in the Zhao country, frequently showed weakness and lost continuously.
It can be said that in the battle between Qi Jie and Zhao Sheng, there were many defeats and few victories, if it were not for the huge foundation of Qi State, maybe he would have withdrawn his army, this war, Zhao Sheng had already declared victory.
Similarly, Qi Jie also thought about assassinating Zhao Sheng, but the consequences of the assassination, Zhao Sheng's three thousand soldiers were the same as him, but they were different from him, and they were comparable to Qi Jie in terms of quantity, but they were far superior to him in loyalty.
He used his interests and fears to recruit scholars and let them serve him, while Zhao Sheng gathered people with benevolence and righteousness and gifts, and it was obvious that there must be many loyal and brave people under his banner.
If Qi Jie assassinated Zhao Sheng by some despicable means, it was inevitable that these loyal and brave men would not hold the knife in their hands and stab Qi Jie.
When people are always careless, once they are careless, it may make their lives worry, but if they defeat Zhao Sheng on the battlefield with dignity, then Qi Jie can convince these people and the people of the world.
These people will not say anything, it is their lord's lack of ability to defeat, not his inability to win.
An important point, he murdered Zhao Sheng by despicable means and defeated Zhao State, even if he conquered Zhao State for a short time, these Zhao people are strong, and they must have a long time to use force and fear to completely conquer these Zhao people, so that they are truly obedient, and during this time, Zhao people may break out at any time, which is unfavorable for Qi State.
Especially in the case of Qin and Chu, Zhao Di is in frequent wars, which will disperse the power of Qi, Qi Xiaobai's great cause lies in the unification of Kyushu, after Zhao is destroyed, the target is Qin and Chu.
If in the contest with Qin Chu, Zhao Di becomes an unstable factor at any time, which can easily make the Qi army suffer a heavy blow in the back when fighting with Qin Chu.
Qi Jie smiled, and then picked up the wine glass: "You and I are both sons of Kyushu, since we want to play and fight, of course I hope to defeat Pingyuan Jun in a dignified manner!" ”
"Although you and I are both princes of Kyushu, you know that you are not as good as your Excellency, Your Excellency has torn the earth and sealed the king, and you are only a prince and a minister!" Zhao Sheng waved his hand and said complimentally, not to mention the quality of Qi Jiao, but his ability, Zhao Sheng also recognized.
Or everyone in the world recognizes, if Qi Xiaobai is not there, Qi Jie must be the monarch of Qi State, although Qi Zhu was the monarch for a period of time, and then was assassinated by Qi Xiaobai, but they believe that if Qi Jie goes to Yan State, he may still re-ascend to the throne of Qi State in the future.
In the eyes of these people, Qi Jie is qualified to be a monarch, and he is also capable of being a monarch, if there is no Wei Wuji, Qi Jie is the head of the son.
The reason why Qi Jiu ranked second was not that his talent was much weaker than Wei Wuji, but that he was completely suppressed by Wei Wuji in terms of morality.
After all, the evaluation of the child's ranking is a comprehensive evaluation of this person, in addition to the evaluation of ability, there is also the evaluation of quality, talent, and power.
In this evaluation, Qi Jiu's character is the worst, but his talent, ability, and power are superior.
And Wei Wuji is just one of the products that Qi Jiu wins, and if there is no morality, Wei Wuji can't be compared with Qi Jiu.
Qi Jie smiled, and then said: "Your Excellency said that you are laughing, although it is a title of King Yan, but in fact, he is also a courtier of Daqi!" ”
"My Majesty's ambition lies in Kyushu, if Gongzi takes refuge in my Qi country, I will definitely go to His Majesty and let Gongzi be the lord of a county!"
"All the Zhao clans survived safely!" Qi Jiao surrendered, if Zhao Sheng was willing to surrender, then everything seemed so simple.
"Your Excellency has already surrendered once before the war, if you can surrender, why don't I choose to surrender?" Zhao Sheng looked at Qi Jie and said.
As a son of the clan of the Zhao State, as a powerful minister of the Zhao State, how could he surrender for his own selfish interests?
Let Zhao Sheng be the county guard, although it is overkill, but it gives Zhao Sheng a lot of face, there must be Handan City in this county, this is to let Zhao Sheng stay in Handan City.
Of course, Qi Jie opened this condition, and was also shocked by Zhao Jun's combat strength, he knew that if he fought, it would be a bloody battle, and if he won, it would be a tragic victory, and more importantly, Qi Jie did not have absolute certainty of defeating the other party.
If anything, he would never have offered such a condition.
Hearing Zhao Sheng's refusal, Qi Jie was not surprised, if he agreed, this Zhao Sheng would be a little vain about the title of Prince of Kyushu, but Qi Jie was a little lost in his heart, people are so contradictory.
Zhao Sheng looked at Qi Jie and said: "This time I have made an appointment with Your Excellency, to tell Your Excellency that this battle is our last battle, I am full of confidence in this battle, I believe that with our Zhao army, our current Zhao army, we will definitely be able to defeat Your Excellency's Qi army, and we will definitely win this war!" Zhao Sheng's eyes were full of toughness and confidence.
"If Your Excellency does not want your soldiers to suffer heavy losses, I advise Your Excellency to do it yourself!" Zhao Sheng said with his fists clenched.
"Although Zhao Jun is stronger than I thought, your Excellency really thinks that Zhao will win?" Qi Jie looked at Zhao Sheng and asked.
