Chapter 229: Avoiding the Battle
As soon as Feiyi's words came out, King Zhao immediately froze and was speechless.
Long.
Seeing that King Zhao didn't respond for a long time, Fei Yi didn't even squeak, so he opened his mouth with an ugly face and reminded: "King, King!" β
King Zhao shook his head when he heard this, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, Xiangguo, just now the widow was so engrossed in thinking about one thing that he neglected Mr., rude, rude!" β
Fei Yi was furious when he heard this, his own routine, but the king's face could not be ignored, so he said coldly: "I don't know what the king is thinking, so that he is so engrossed." β
King Zhao said lightly: "The widow is thinking about Guan Zhong and why Duke Qi Huan dominates the world." β
βΒ·Β·Β·β Fei Yi was pushed back by King Zhao's soft nails.
Previously, Fei Yi used three allusions to persuade King Zhao not to indulge in beauty.
And King Zhao's response is an allusion.
In the past, Duke Qi Huan asked Guan Zhong to assist him, intending to dominate the Central Plains, but he had many flaws, so he asked Guan Zhong: The widow is lustful as life, drunk as life, can't have delicious food in his mouth for a moment, can't have beautiful music in his ears for a moment, and his life is extravagant and wasteful, can he dominate in this way?
Guan Zhong's answer was that there was no problem at all, saying that these problems are all human nature, as long as they are rich and noble, all of them have these problems, and there is no big deal.
As long as people can know the virtuous, use the virtuous, appoint the virtuous, believe in the virtuous, and do not doubt the virtuous, they can dominate the world by doing these five points.
Sure enough, after that, Qi Huan Gong and Guan Zhong, two lustful and alcoholic guys, led Qi to dominate the world.
Listening to King Zhao's words, which were both explanations and declarations, Fei Yi sighed and arched his hand: "King, the envoy of the Chu State is visiting..."
Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
After five days of marching, the two armies of Chu and Yue officially joined forces with Xiapi, and then, nearly 400,000 Chu and Yue allied troops slaughtered towards Zhongwu City.
Zhonggo Castle.
Kuang Zhang personally led an army of 150,000 to defend the city, Ju Dafu led 50,000 troops to camp on the right side of the city, and Dr. Mo led 50,000 troops to camp on the left side of the city.
When the Chu-Yue coalition army came to Zhongwu, they saw two strong camps in the south of the city, guarding Zhongwu City together.
Seeing this, Xiong Huai and King Yue glanced at each other, but when they saw King Yue looking at him as if he was in charge, he shook his head, and could only say to Jing Cui calmly: "Zhuguo, send someone to call the battle first, and ask the Qi army to come out to fight the winner." β
Jing Cui arched his hand and said, "Yes, the king." β
Soon after, Jing Cui, who had a solemn face, returned and said: "King, the envoy has returned, Kuang Zhang said that my Chu and Yue countries are tired from afar, and the Qi army is unwilling to take advantage of the danger, and is willing to wait for us to rest for two months before coming to a showdown." β
"Let's take a break for two months!" King Yue glanced at Tang Yu on the side, and said in surprise: "That is to say, Kuang Zhang wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and he can't avoid the war." β
A few years ago, Tang Yu's turtle shrinkage strategy in Guangling made King Yue disgusting!
"Avoid the battle!" Xiong Huai's eyes froze, and he said, "Kuang Zhang, this is asking us to attack the city and fight a protracted war." β
Jing Cui said with a heavy face: "King, now the two camps of the Qi army are not far from each other and stand in front of the city, and Zhongwu City is behind, if you want to attack the city, you must first break through the camp." As long as the two camps in front of the city are broken, then the combined forces of our two countries can let go of the siege of Zhongwu City. β
"But if you want to break through the camp, you must attack both camps at the same time, otherwise the other camp and the reinforcements in the city will come to the rescue. In addition, when attacking the camp, the reinforcements coming out of the city must not be guarded, so as not to be attacked by the flanks and rear troops. β
Xiong Huai nodded and said, "Okay, then break through the camp first." β
Then Xiong Huai glanced around, and in the bare area of the surrounding area, all the trees within a radius of twenty miles of Zhongwu City had been cut down by the Qi army, and as far as the eye could see, there was not even a small hillside that was a little taller.
Seeing this, Xiong Huai said to King Yue beside him: "King Yue, I don't know what the king thinks about the attack on the Qi army camp." β
King Yue shook his head and said, "The Qi army is heavily garrisoned, and there is no good way for the widows. However, if you fight, know yourself and know your opponent, you can not slack off in a hundred battles, and you must first build a high platform to watch the city. Therefore, according to the widows, the first thing our coalition army should do is to build a high platform outside these two barracks to watch the situation of the camps. β
Xiong Huai nodded and said: "The widow also has this intention, the Qi army has two camps, just you and me, two countries and one country, one walled city." King Yue, the widow means, the Yue State attacked the camp on the right, and my Chu State attacked the camp on the left, how? β
After the king of Yue agreed, he asked: "King Chu, there are few soldiers and few soldiers, as for the reinforcements in the city, then the state of Chu needs to stop it." β
Xiong Huai responded: "Naturally, the widow will send someone to block the south gate of Zhongwu." As for the Qi army coming from the east, King Yue, be careful yourself! β
King Yue nodded and said, "Okay." β
After the king of Yue left, Xiong Huai ordered: "Si is defeated, you have to command the soldiers to build a dirt slope and a watchtower not far from the Qi camp, and prepare siege weapons. β
Tang Yu arched his hand and said, "The minister receives the order." β
"Zhuguo, the widow handed over the army to you to command, and strictly prevent the Qi army from coming out to sneak attack the soldiers who built the soil slope."
"The minister commands."
The actions of the Chu and Yue armies in front of the Qi camp were discovered by the scouts of the Qi army just beginning.
Zhonggo Castle.
"General, Dr. Ju and Dr. Jimo have come to report that the Chu army and the Vietnamese army have built an earthen slope outside the camp and erected a tall building."
Kuang Zhang's face was expressionless: "Tell the two doctors, just say that Ben will know, once the Chu and Yue coalition forces attack the camp, if necessary, Ben will go to the rescue." β
"Yes, General."
Soon after the scout left, someone came to report: "General, Meng Weijun has sent a message, he has successfully contacted the four countries of Lu Fei and the four countries, and the four countries have sent troops to help, the total number of troops of the four countries is 50,000, and the 20,000 strong men of Xue Di are on the way to Zhongwu City, and they will arrive at Zhongwu City in a few days." β
Kuang Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, pass on Meng Weijun, after the army of the four countries arrives, first set up camp in the north of Zhongwu City, and wait for the general to call." β
"No."
The State of Qi turned a blind eye to the siege preparations of Chu and Yue, and the State of Chu naturally did not care even more.
Preparations for the siege proceeded in an orderly manner, and three days later, with the unremitting efforts of the Chu army, a small earthen slope was successfully built a mile away from the Qi army's camp.
Xiong Huai once again transferred Deng Lingguang from the guard camp to protect himself, and then climbed the dirt slope with Jing Cui and others to watch the camp.
Visually, the outer wall of the Qi army camp is not only more than one zhang high, but also nearly one zhang wide, and the wall is full of Qi troops.
Fortunately, there was not enough time, and the faΓ§ade was not made of stone but of earth.
Behind, the ravines in the camp of the Qi army are vertical and horizontal, and the tents of the Qi army are densely packed.
Especially in the outermost area, there are a large number of garrison equipment, and the entire military camp has been built into a war fortress.
From near to far, there are five lines of defense in the Qi camp, beyond the Qi army camp, and then behind, there is Zhongwu City.
Xiong Huai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhongwu City, there was a flat land outside Zhongwu City, except for a circle of obstacles outside the city wall, the Qi army did not dig a big ravine.
Not only that, but there is not even a moat.
I don't know if it's due to a lack of manpower or a lack of time.
Xiong Huai asked left and right: "Zhongqing, tell me, how should this Qi army battalion be fought?" β
