Qizhou is bordered by the sea to the east, Liangzhou to the west, Tangzhou to the south, and Fengzhou to the north. Qi people are good at martial arts, chivalrous and righteous, and multi-skilled masters.

The ancestor of the Marquis of Qi was the commander of the guards under the account of Xuanyuan Taiyi, called Qi Jiang, when Xuanyuan Taiyi went east, the army was defeated and trapped, and everyone was helpless, Qi Jiang led hundreds of guards under his command to fight to the death, and someone told Xuanyuan Taiyi that "Qi Jiang is going, and he will go to the enemy." Taiyi didn't believe it, "Qi Jiang is loyal and righteous, and he will live up to me." In the next three days, Qi Jiang led the crowd and the surrounding cities and villages to find hundreds of cattle, gathered in one place, lit the oxtail, and rushed to the enemy to kill. Taiyi gave Qi Jiang all the gains from this expedition, and gave the fief of Qizhou, the Marquis of Jin, and inherited the title from generation to generation, saying, "Qi does not live up to me, I will not live up to Qi." "So there is Qizhou, and the Marquis of Qi has been passed down for more than a thousand years.

The contemporary Qi Hou is named Qi Wei, who became famous at a young age, writes good handwriting, and is mostly good friends with famous people in the world. At the age of thirty, he built two academies, gathering students from all over the world and martial artists from all walks of life. The pro-book plaque, the academy is the grass, the martial arts academy is the technical attack, the rules are set, the text is not light, and the martial arts are not prohibited. The civil and military academies are full of talents.

In the last years of Yan and Huang, disputes broke out in the world, Tang, Yue, Ba, Shu and other places successively established themselves as kings, and then in the first year of the Warring States Period, Weilu and Lu formed an alliance to claim the king and announced to the world. Qi Wei is not angry in his heart, I have a lot of land and resources in Qizhou, and I am an outstanding person, how can I be willing to live after Lu Wei? His subordinates knew his intentions and wrote to persuade him, but Qi Wei pretended to be inappropriate and said that he would discuss it another day. Later, he inspected Jixia, attacked the two courtyards, and praised the virtues of many songs, persuading him to enter the king of Qi, Qi Wei was happy and gladly accepted, as for those old-fashioned and conservative people, they all ignored them, especially some of the bones of the lower courtyard of Ji, all said that this move was rebellious, contrary to the general principles of the people, if the king of Qi insisted on going his own way, he would be punished by heaven after that. King Qi was angry, these people couldn't be killed, and they couldn't argue, so they had to leave it behind. However, some ceremonial officials had already prepared a guard of honor in formal dress, preparing to ascend to the throne of Qi in the New Year.

At the beginning of the first year of the Warring States Period, Qi Wei was fifty years old, accepted advice, officially established himself as the king, changed Qizhou to Qi State, and announced to the world: "Yanhuang has collapsed, the world is in chaos, and the people are in dire straits. So the people of the country were excited, and they all joined the army bravely, and in just a few days, reports came from all over the territory, and more than 300,000 new soldiers were recruited.

Hearing that the king of Liang was ordered to attack Lu Wei in the south, Xiang Guotian Heng said that "the king of Liang is powerful, Liangzhou, Jinggi, are under his control, Xianzhou north of the capital, Fengzhou in the east is also obedient to the king of Liang, the wealth of the army is endless, and there are many elite soldiers and strong generals under his command, these years of southern conquest and northern war, all are veterans of a hundred battles, this time to the south, Weilu will not be able to fight, if Weilu is defeated, King Liang will come east to attack me." ”

After hearing this, Qi Wei smiled and said, "King Liang is powerful? Am I not strong? King Liang has a lot of soldiers, but I don't have many soldiers? ”

After speaking, Qi Wei looked at a young military general beside him, who was thin and had a handsome face. This person's name is Hongyue, who was originally a drama in Qi Wei's mansion, a play, also known as a pitiful person, because of his handsome appearance, he became Qi Wei's male pet and was pampered.

Seeing Qi Wei looking at him, Hongyue covered her mouth and chuckled, "Tian Gong is too worried, my king is the destiny of heaven, and our Qi country has enough soldiers and food, so what can I do when King Liang comes?" Can you beat us Daqi? ”

Tian Heng is the head of the Tian family of Qi State, Tian is good at business, controls the largest port in the world, Linzi Port, and has dozens of large ships, specially used for north-south trade, trade, huge family assets, and 50,000 sailors of Qi State, so Tian's status and power in Qi are second only to the Qi royal family. This time the king of Liang went south, and people of insight in the Qi country thought that they could not sit idly by, so Cai Tian Heng entered the palace to advise.

Tian Heng has never liked this red moon, at this moment when the red moon spoke, he ignored it, and said directly to King Qi, "Great King, King Liang is going south, menacing, if he is allowed to defeat Wei Lu, he will be more powerful, and our Qi country must not be a watcher." ”

King Qi still smiled slightly and said, "Who said that this king wants to be a wall-by-side watcher." This king has already discussed with General Hongyue, to fight between King Liang and Weilu, a blow on the side, defeat the Three Kingdoms, and then go south to attack Tangzhou, and then beat Bashu with a bang, and then gather the whole country's troops to attack the King of Han in the north, if the Wu clan is obedient, if he is not obedient, I will destroy him in one go, and finally, the northern expedition to the Northern Barbarians, the real domination of the world. ”

Tian Heng was stunned, "The king is ambitious and admirable, but I don't know what the king's detailed plan is?" The national strength of our Qi country plus 300,000 recruits totals more than 700,000, but the troops have not been mobilized for many years, the grain and grass have not been prepared, and the weapons are old and unbearable. Moreover, the wealth and land of Qi are mostly controlled by wealthy lords, and the treasury of Qi is not rich.

King Qi looked displeased, "This king's will to fight has been decided, the detailed plan has been discussed with General Hongyue, this is a secret, in addition, the grain and grass are not enough, my Qi country has money, to levy is, the weapons are old, my Qi country can be skilled craftsmen, abibi, to change the new is, these, is your country's business"

Tian Heng lamented in his heart, and said helplessly, "Who is the king going to send on the expedition?" How many troops and horses were dispatched? ”

Speaking of this, King Qi's face improved, and he said with a smile, "On this expedition, this king is personally in command, General Hongyue is the deputy marshal, and the general Huang Qu leads soldiers and horses from all over the country to be with this king." ”

When Tian Heng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, with the great general Huang Qu here, there shouldn't be any big problems. It's just that when I thought that King Qi and the poor man were there, I sweated for Huang Qu in my heart.

King Qi was a martial artist in his life, he liked the big red, often wore bright red armor, rode a big red horse, and led the guards to run between the mountains and mountains, and the people of the time were surprised.

On the tenth day of the first month of the first month of the first year of the Warring States Period, Qi Wei, the king of Qi, gathered 30,000 men and horses on the border of Qifeng in the north and 50,000 people and horses on the border of Liang Qi in the west, plus 120,000 guards in Qizhou City and surrounding cities, a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses, the king of Qi wore big red armor, rode a big red horse, and led the men and horses together with the merciful deputy marshal Hongyue, and went to the southwest, the junction of the three states of Liang Qilu and Qilu. In addition, on the first day of the first lunar month, he had already ordered the general Huang Qu to command the remaining defenders of the central and southern cities of the country with a total of 4.5 million soldiers and horses, and on the 15th day of the first lunar month, he joined himself in the border city of Hetian in the three states.

Huang Qu is fifty and three this year, and the Huang clan where he is located is equivalent to Tian Heng's Tian clan, all of them are wealthy families of Qi State, and they control most of the soldiers and horses of Qi State. When Qi Wei ascended to the throne of Qi, Huang Qu also wrote a letter asking King Qi to think twice, but the letter was seen by Hongyue, and before he could submit it to Qi Wei, it was secretly hidden by Hongyue. The only thing Qi Wei was worried about at that time was the Huang family, who had a heavy army, seeing that he was indifferent, thinking that the Huang family acquiesced, so he insisted on going his own way and established himself as the king, and Huang Qu saw that Qi Wei did not move after the book, thinking that he was suspicious of himself, so he no longer persuaded him.

On the tenth day of the first month, at that time, Tangzhou and Yuezhou fought in full swing. Huang Qu was inspecting the Qi-Tang border defense in the southern part of Qi State, and received the military order in the border city of Jimo, and after the envoy read the military order, he turned around and left. Huang Quleng was stunned for a long time, scolded loudly, and shouted, "Pity people and mislead the country." "It's only five days, let alone rushing to Hotan, it's impossible to gather troops, besides, where are there four or five hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Qi now? However, the king of Qi used harsh language, claiming that if the military plane was delayed, military law would be involved. Huang Qu was helpless, and immediately ordered the herald soldiers to have one person and two horses, divided into three directions, with arrows, and ordered the defenders from all over the country to gather their own soldiers and horses according to the number of people reported every year, and advance in the direction of Hotan. Then Huang Qu arranged the remaining troops of the Jimo battalion, led the generals at all levels under his command, and set off immediately.

Thus, an unprecedented transfer of troops in the history of the Warring States period began.

Seventy or eighty cities up and down the size of Qi country, each city in one or two heralds into the city, there was a huge turmoil, people only saw the city lord and adults anxiously gathered troops, some cities in addition to the city defense army also to maintain daily law and order to catch fast, the family of the big family is also gathered, there are more directly into the house to catch the strong man, and then issued a knife or a military uniform, or even no knife, and then under the leadership of the army general, all the way to the east.

This troop transfer, like a plough of the cultivated land, turned the ancient and calm land of Qizhou upside down. In the first month of the first year of the Warring States Period, the people of Qi were like hibernating squirrels, awakened by a person's ambition. People dragged their bodies sleepily.

In terms of scale alone, this troop transfer is not the largest, but its chaos and suddenness must be unprecedented.

Huang Qu went all the way to the west, along the way saw the chaotic army everywhere, it is really not called an army, if it is replaced by other times, it is still possible to use ships to transport troops, but now the large and small rivers are covered with thick ice, and the ships cannot pass, so in desperation, Huang Qu can only frown. At this time, a terrible thought suddenly appeared in Huang Qu's mind: If someone attacked at this time, how to resist? But it's impossible to think about it, the north of Qi is Fengzhou, there is no gap between the two states, King Liang led the army to the south, Tang Yue in the south was in full swing, and he couldn't draw his hand to provoke Qi. The gray-haired general is still burly, followed by dozens of horsemen left and right, all of whom are generals and colonels under his command.

At this time, a young general drove his mount to Huang Qu's side, "General, if it goes on like this, it will definitely not be able to catch up with Hotan in five days, in case the king blames it,,,,"

This person's name is Huang Ming, Huang Qu's youngest son, who was promoted to a partial general by virtue of his military merits, and looked at his father worriedly at this time: "It's better to take advantage of the fact that the frozen ground is not thawing now, let the last general lead the cavalry of all departments to rush first, and strive to send a part of the troops to the king before the fifteenth day of the first month, so that the general will not be completely speechless with the king." ”

Huang Qu frowned, "That's the only way, pass on my military order, collect cavalry along the way, and take the first step." ”

Huang Ming took the order to leave, Huang Qu felt a little calmer, but he was still worried, as if something was going to happen, but the important thing at the moment was to go to the king's side. "The order went down, and the various departments gave up their baggage and moved forward lightly, and the army should have grain and grass, and the counties along the way requisitioned it on their own. Remember, restrain the soldiers, don't disturb the people too much, and the needs of each department are discussed and communicated by the commander and the county magistrate."

Guangyuan City is a small city, although it is a city, but there has never been a war between Liang and Qi, so there has been not much garrison, and Qi City Longxian is 20 miles away from each other, the people of the two places come and go very closely, and the trade is developed.

On the tenth night of the first month of the first month of the first year of the Warring States Period, when the King of Qi took the merciful general Hongyue to the west, a group of five or six people appeared in the City Lord's Mansion of Guangyuan City, led by a fat and strong body, narrow eyes, steady steps when walking, and a strong style, it was the current King of Liang, Zhou Rong, and one person next to him was the second son of King Liang, Zhou Wu.

And Qin Ming, the lord of Guangyuan City, and Zhou Wu followed Zhou Rong side by side into the main hall of Fuzhong, Zhou Rong was not polite, he sat directly in the center, looked at Qin Ming who was standing with his hands tied, and asked, "How are you prepared?" ”

Qin Ming bowed his hand and saluted: "Back to the King of Liang, since receiving the military order from the palace, the 30,000 elites secretly stationed around Guangyuan have been transferred into the mountains, forests and valleys around Guangyuan in turn, and they can go out at any time."

"What about Toyoshu?"

"The Fengzhou Mabu Army has a total of 50,000 people, led by Jiang Lin, the eldest son of Fengzhou Taishou, and is already waiting for the Fengqi border."

"What's the news from Qi Guo?"

"The King of Qi has already withdrawn the troops in the entire northern part of the Qi territory, and in addition, Huang Qu, the general of the Qi State, is wantonly dispatching troops throughout the Qi land, and now the Qi State has become a pot of porridge" Speaking of this, Qin Ming seemed to remember something, and laughed, "I heard that this is all the idea of the poor people around the King of Qi, and it is really heaven wants to destroy Qi"

Zhou Rong, the king of Liang, was noncommittal, "Pass the order, tonight, all the troops will assemble outside the city, attack at the ugly time, and according to the pre-plan, sweep the northern part of Qi within ten days, and take Qizhou City directly." ”

"Yes"

"Go get ready."

Qin Ming bowed his hand to Zhou Rong and nodded, and nodded to the second son, Zhou Wu, Zhou Wu hugged his fists and saluted, and then still stood with his hands tied.

Zhou Rong looked at Zhou Wu, "Do you have a private relationship with Qin Ming?" ”

Zhou Wu's face remained unchanged, and he arched his hand and said, "Back to King Liang, yes, when General Qin was not transferred to Guangyuan, the last general served under General Qin. ”

"Oh, I remember, I asked you to follow him for a while." Zhou Rong's face was playful, "It seems that your relationship is maintaining a good relationship"

"Yes, Qin Zhong, the second son of General Qin, served as a deputy general under the command of the last general, Qin Zhong fought bravely, he is a rare tiger general, and now he is with the cavalry army in the mountains and forests outside the city." Zhou Wu replied meticulously.

"Well," Zhou Rong still had the same face, squinting his narrow eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, the two generals of Beibian Chen and Wang also have sons and nephews serving under you, right?" ”

Zhou Wu's face remained unchanged, and he said respectfully: "Yes, one of General Chen's nephews and General Wang's eldest son are all under the command of a certain general, and they each serve as captains. ”

"Got it, let's go down and prepare for tonight's battle." Zhou Rong waved his hand.

Zhou Wu bowed his hand and retreated, and when he went out of the door, his face remained unchanged, and he walked out of the city lord's mansion all the time, took the reins handed over by his subordinates, and the two turned over and went straight out of the city.

It wasn't until outside the city that Zhou Wu was shocked to find that his entire back was wet, and at this time, it was blown by the wind, and it was bitterly cold.

In the City Lord's Mansion, after Zhou Wu left, Zhou Rong leaned back in his chair and took out a letter from his arms. The book cover had been opened, and Zhou Rong took out the letter and read it again. If Huang Qu was here, he would definitely be surprised, because what was in Zhou Rong's hands was Huang Qu's letter of advice to persuade King Qi. Zhou Rong read the letters he had already read, and finally looked at a red crescent moon pattern on the envelope, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and muttered to himself: "Zhou Feng, Zhou Feng, Red Moon, Fengyue,,,"
