Hundreds of thousands of Qi troops were defeated on the front line!

The words are like blood, engraved in the heart of King Qi!

He, the overlord of the East, and the army of Qi, the killer of the East, are now planting a big heel in the Lu State!

"Come, get up and tell me, how did the front line lose?" King Qi held the chair with one hand and covered his chest with the other, not letting himself be too out of shape.

The Qi Wang Wei paused again, and then said: "In the recent war, it was originally my Qi country that had the upper hand, and it can even be said that it has enough deterrent power for several cities in the Lu country. ”

"But this time, Lu suddenly changed its commander, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and our Qi army all retreated to within the border of Qi State."

King Qi frowned: "Change of commander?" What is handsome in the country of Talu? How come the widow doesn't know that there is still such a master in Lu who saves the situation by himself? ”

Qi Wangwei hurriedly explained: "This person's name is Cao Gui, and he was not originally on the temple, but just a villager. ”

"Seeing that our Qi army is strong, he said that Lu is 'a meat eater and can't plan far', so he took the initiative to find the monarch of Lu to command the battle."

King Qi's constricted brows deepened. "A Cao Gui, can you do this? How did he fight this battle? ”

Qi Wangwei replied: "Cao Gui adopted the method of 'one drum, then decline, and three exhaustions', when we called for battle, the Lu army did not meet the battle, and when our momentum was weak, Cao Gui ordered people to rush out and defeat our Qi army directly." ”

King Qi took the case: "Just Lu Guo, little Cao Gui, don't dare to confront the widow head-on, and he actually resorted to such a vicious method!" ”

But with this beat, King Qi's chest felt pain again, so he had to sit down slowly and sulk alone.

King Qi felt a little more relaxed, so he continued to ask: "Didn't the widow order the general, even if he lost the battle, he would have to be false and real, so that the Lu State would not dare to pursue it easily?" ”

Qi Wangwei replied: "Yes, the general also wants to do this. But Cao Gui is too much of a chicken thief, he doesn't look at whether we really can't defeat the army, he just blindly looks at the ruts of our chariot. ”

"If we are in a rut, he will give the order for pursuit; If the ruts are not in order, he will not fall into our trap. ”

"So the general laid a trap several times, but he couldn't let Cao Gui be fooled......"

"Enough! Cough, cough ......" King Qi slapped the table angrily, but after all, he was a little angry, his chest was full of blood and blood rolling, and he couldn't help coughing twice.

Immediately, a waiter gently slapped King Qi's back to calm down a little.

King Qi gritted his teeth and asked King Qi Weidao: "Okay, the widow knows, if you are okay, just retreat!" ”

Qi Wangwei withdrew in response, and King Qi said to the waiter: "Invite Prime Minister Tian Yong to the widow." ”

Tian Yong responded to the summons, first comforted King Qi a few words, and waited until King Qi felt a little better, and then brought even worse news.

The Qi army ran out of food......

Because some time ago, the Qi State sent troops smoothly, so it was basically a long drive, and the war burned all the way to the territory of Lu State.

As a result, the five border cities of Qi have been sending grain and grass equipment to the front line, and they do not pay attention to the strategic reserves of their own cities.

So...... By the time the Qi State was defeated, the five cities on the border of his home could no longer afford to feed and wear the retreating army!

If the Lu State waves its troops to attack, these five cities will inevitably be vulnerable and will be completely swallowed by the Lu State!

"Adjust food, transfer weapons! Whatever it is, find a way for the widow to get into those five cities! When King Qi heard Tian Yong's report, he was even more furious!

This time, he swore to fight with Lu Guo, but he was counterattacked by Lu Guo's army, and he was in danger of losing the city!

A person like King Qi, who regards territory above everything else, sees that the five border cities are about to be swallowed by the Lu State, and his lungs are about to explode, and he is already on the verge of going berserk!

Tian Yong saw that the King of Qi was so angry, although he was a little scared, but he still stubbornly said: "My king, the country of Qi is large, and the dispatch of various armaments requires time to raise and transport, and it may be difficult to stop the country of Lu in time......"

"Presumptuous! You are all presumptuous! King Qi slammed his hand on the table, and a pile of pieces was swept to the ground.

"It's because it's so difficult that the widow wants you, the prime minister, to give advice! Otherwise, what do you want?! ”

Tian Yong hurriedly knelt down and hurriedly replied: "In today's matter, there is still a glimmer of hope for turning danger into safety and defeat into victory. ”

"That is, find a way to let Lu Guo temporarily withdraw the army!"

"As long as Lu State can temporarily stop the army for a month, the minister will definitely have the ability to raise enough military supplies, and our Qi State army can be reorganized, not only the five border cities can be saved, but also the cities of Lu State can be occupied!"

King Qi's face was gloomy and he looked at Tian Yong.

He understands the reason, but this big cake is too beautiful......

Is there any other way to make Lu temporarily withdraw its troops for a month?

Is Lu Guo so stupid, temporarily suspend the army, and let Qi State rest and recuperate?

……

Lu State, the capital.

After a few days of traveling, Lu Zixu finally came to the capital of Lu State.

Although the capital of Lu is not as majestic as the capital of Qi, because Lu is already inland, not on the coast of the East China Sea, the Central Plains style gradually appears in this city.

"Tsk, it's really different from the beach......" Lu Zixu couldn't help but nodded.

It is no wonder that there are hundreds of schools of thought today, but all those who have learned take pride in traveling around the world.

It's true that if you don't personally inspect it, after all, it's shallow on paper!

If it weren't for Wang Shang's heroic talent, how could he Lu Zixu have the opportunity to come into contact with this different culture?

Thinking of this, Lu Zixu couldn't help but admire the king a little more.

And along the way, he has collected enough information, and gradually comprehended the deep meaning of the king.

Lu Zixu didn't know at first, why did the king ask him to bring 500,000 taels of silver and ask Lu to strike his troops and truce, but now that he got the news of the defeat of Qi State, he finally understood!

The state of Qi was defeated, and the king of Qi should have the intention of retreating and was unable to fight again.

However, King Qi had such thoughts in his heart, but with his overlord posture, how could he take the initiative to make peace with the Lu State?

So at this time, if someone can give King Qi a step down, then King Qi will definitely be very grateful to this person!

Therefore, Lu Zixu understood that his king just wanted to be the mediator in the middle, win the gratitude of the king of Qi, and then make profits from the king of Qi!

And the king sent Wu Zhu to envoy to the Qi State to ask for the city and ask for benefits, which was also secretly in line with Lu Zixu's speculation!

And it's not just the Qi country. If you can rely on 500,000 taels of silver and then gain the favor of Lu State, then the income of Hai Country will be even greater!

Lu Zixu's eyes gradually became sharper.

It turned out that the task assigned to him by the king was far from being as simple as giving money to Lu Guo, but to ask King Qi to cut the city and form an alliance with Lu State, which laid a natural foreshadowing!
