Chapter Seventy-One: Vaqi (4)
Wang Shi, the chief general of the South Road of the Yan Army, and Wu Yangjing, the deputy general, stood at the head of Maiqiu City (now Shanghe County, Shandong).
Looking at the war in the city, it was gradually extinguished by the Yan army and the people.
Wang Shi sighed and said to Wu Yangjing, the deputy general beside him who had already joined his Chinese army:
"The last general was beside the king, and listened to the mouth of my king himself: "Prosperity, the people are suffering; Death, the people suffer". My king's compassion for the people is evident from heaven! ”
Wu Yangjing also said to Wang Shi with emotion:
"General, since the weakening of the Zhou family, the people of the world have suffered for hundreds of years. I don't know when I will be able to give the people of the world a place to live and work in peace and contentment, like my Yan Kingdom? ”
Wang Shi shook his head and said to Wu Yangjing:
"At that time, General Ben was beside my king, and Minister Lu Zhonglian asked my king this question just like General Wu."
Wu Yangjing let out an "oh" and asked Wang Shidao:
"General, how did my king answer at that time?"
My king said to the prime minister Lu Zhonglian: "Only when the world is truly unified, can the people of the world truly live and work in peace and contentment." "At that time, Ben General was beside the king, and he knew about my king's ambition!"
"I'm Wang Shengming."
I don't know what I remembered, the general Wang Shi turned around and looked at the Yan army camp outside the city and said:
"General Wu, our army has been delayed for too much time under Wheat Hill City. Now, hand over Maiqiu City to the officials sent by the Ministry of Officials as soon as possible, as well as the rear army of General Zuozong. Our army should cross the river as soon as possible and join up with the Hu Guiliang division of our army. ”
Bo Wang nodded and said: "What the general said is extremely true, our army has repelled the Qi army that came to help from Pingyuan City, and has broken through Maiqiu City, and it has been delayed here for too much time. ”
"According to intelligence, the third army of our army has already fallen under the city of Qiancheng, and it can be said that it is a lone army in depth! The main force of our army must go to Qiancheng as soon as possible to join up with the third army. ”
"Hu Guiliang's department has been out of touch with our rear army, according to intelligence, Qi State has appointed Damin as the main general to lead the Qi army in Linzi such as the Qi Technical Army. It is estimated that soon, the reinforcements of the Qi State will come to the Jihe River. ”
"If Hu Guiliang's Third Army is surrounded by Qi reinforcements under Qiancheng City, the consequences will be serious."
Wang Shi thought about it again and said to Bo Wang: "General Hu has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and has rich experience. I believe that General Hu Guiliang is not so easy to let Qi reinforcements surround him. However, it is an urgent matter for our army to join it as soon as possible. ”
"By the way, General Wu, since General Zuo Zong has already led the Second Army and a reserve army into the front. According to the king's edict, he was restrained by my front. ”
Speaking of which, above the city, Wang Shi said to the herald beside him:
"Give General Zuo Zong an order that the two armies he leads will be controlled by my front. General Zuo Zong led the second army, as the rear army of our army, to monitor the Qi army in the Gaotang and the plains in the west; There must be no mistake in ordering the reserve army led by him to cooperate with the officials and officials to take over the rear city of our army. ”
"No."
After the herald walked down the city, Wang Shi said to the deputy general Wu Yangjing:
"General Wu, order our army to rest at Maiqiu for one night today, and tomorrow the army can go south."
"Obey." Adjutant General Wu Yangjing clenched his fists and bowed.
The Fourth Army led by Wang Shi came to Wheat Hill City and received information from the Intelligence Bureau.
The 30,000 Qi troops of Gaotang, Pingyuan and other cities west of Maiqiu City came to reinforce Maiqiu after receiving an urgent report from the defenders of Maiqiu City.
In this case, Wang Shi could only urge the rear army led by Wu Yangjing to hurry up on the one hand; On the other hand, he led the army to set up an ambush west of Maiqiu City, and repelled the 30,000 Qi troops who came to help.
Turning back, together with Wu Yangjing's Tenth Army, they attacked Maiqiu City.
This came and went, and it was delayed a lot.
At this time, the time was already 3 April, and it was imperative to join the Third Army with the vanguard Hu Guiliang as soon as possible.
Damin, the chief general of the Qi army, is the younger brother of Dazi, a famous general of Qi.
Since the age of sixteen, Damin has been fighting for the Qi State with his elder brother Dazi.
In the twenty-ninth year of King Yan Zhao (284 B.C.), Le Yi was defeated.
At that time, the Yan State was in a state of collapse and invaded the Qi State.
King Qi appointed Tentacle as the main general and Dazi as the deputy general, leading the main force of the Qi army to meet the Yan army, and the two sides confronted each other on the west bank of the Ji River.
The main general touched the son and suggested to the king of Qishu: "On the battlefield of Jixi, the enemy is strong and I am weak, which is not conducive to our army. Our Qi army should take advantage of the Ji River, hold along the river, and wait for the morale of the Yan army to be exhausted, and then send troops to attack. ”
At that time, King Qi Su actually ordered the main general to touch the son:
"Send troops at once, if you don't send troops, the widows will destroy your people and dig your ancestral graves."
As a result, Tentacle was forced to lead the Qi army to fight, and fought with the Yan army led by Le Yi and the west bank of the Ji River, and was defeated by the Yan army.
Fearing that he would be killed by King Qi, the Lord drove away alone, nowhere to be found.
Damin and his brother Dazi led the defeated Qi army, retreating all the way and collecting the Qi army along the way.
Who knew that after retreating to Qin Zhou City, the last gateway to the northern end of Linzi in the Qi capital (now northeast of Zibo, Shandong), his elder brother Dazi received an edict from King Qi Shu, asking him to lead the remnants of the Qi army to garrison Qin Zhou, and he was not allowed to take a step back.
At that time, the Qi army was defeated in successive battles and its morale was low.
Seeing this, Dazi personally went to Linzi City and asked the king of Qi to give more money to the defeated Qi army to boost morale.
But I didn't expect Dazi's good suggestion to be accepted by the dim-witted King Qichou.
Damin's elder brother Dazi was kicked twice by King Qi and driven back.
After Dazi returned to Qin Zhou, he knew that he would lose this battle.
arranged for his younger brother Damin to go to Jucheng, and he was martyred in Qin Zhoucheng.
After Damin arrived in Jucheng, he had a very good strategy for war, and was appointed as his deputy general by Tian Dan, the commander of the Qi army.
After Tiandan returned to the country, because Tiandan's credit was too great, his reputation in Qi was too high, and the Qi royal family took a lot of precautions against Tiandan.
Tamin was also implicated as a result.
Since Tian Dan was transferred to Zhao State, Damin has been left at home with nothing to do.
Until now, after the Qi State once again faced the attack of the Yan State, the situation was critical.
Only then did the queen remember Damin and appointed him as the commander of the Yan army, leading the army to fight against the Yan army and protect Linzi.
Up to now, Damin can be said to be one of the few generals in Qi who has actual combat commanders.
At this time, in Qin Zhou City, the Qi army commander Damin's brows were furrowed, and his heart was extremely irritable.
Why? The reason is the Qi technical army of the Qi country.
As the most powerful army in Qi State, Qi Jijun didn't expect it to become like this in just over 20 years.
Most of the generals in the army are not the people who were able to fight well, but the descendants of the royal family and court ministers.
Because Qi Jijun has a great reputation in Qi State, he holds a half-official position in Qi Jijun, and he is promoted quickly.
For the sake of the future of his future generations, the Qi royal family and even the court ministers relied on relationships and bribery to arrange for their later generations to enter the Qi Technical Army.
Most of the people who enter the Qi Technical Army are here to mix their names and get qualifications, and few of them have real talents and real learning.
On the contrary, it was the Qi Technical Army, because of the existence of these guys, the entire Qi Technical Army was made into a miasma.
Now as soon as he heard that he was going to go forward to fight with the Yan army, many royal relatives and even court ministers found the main general Damin.
I hope that Damin can be accommodating and let his descendants go back.
Damin, the commander of the Qi State, faced the current situation of the Qi army, and he didn't know how to deal with it?
The relationship is too complicated!
According to Ji Kang's words, he is not afraid of god-like opponents, but he is afraid of pig-like teammates!
In the face of the upcoming Yanqi war, Damin felt very worried in his heart.
Damin, the commander of the Qi army, knows that this time the Qi country is really in danger of extinction!
