After Zhao Zhihai read this "Xia Law" slowly and carefully, he looked around at the noble ministers in the pavilion who were already stunned at the moment and smiled "haha", and then said loudly: "Your reaction is no different from Zhao's appearance when he first saw this "Xia Law".

At that time, Zhao was also very puzzled, under the hundreds of years of etiquette, would the people not know that they were loyal to the monarch and patriotic, would they abandon their monarch father, and would they forget how Yao Jun led the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty to drive Rong Di out of the Guanwai after a lot of hardships?

Why would they confess the thief as their father for a few acres of land, a few bowls of food, and a few clothes? ”

As soon as Zhao Zhihai's words fell, someone in the cabinet slapped the case with indignation and scolded. All of a sudden, everyone was full of anger, and they all loudly told how the people of these fallen places did not know how good and bad they were, and how wolf-hearted they were.

But there are still exceptions, I saw that Na Chunxi, Xiao Wenkao, and Tian Dong were not as angry as the others, they either buried their heads in groaning, or smiled bitterly. Except for Mi Chunxi, the rest of these people have dealt with the Rong people, how could they not know the deep meaning of Zhao Zhihai's words.

Sure enough, after scolding for a long time, everyone found that Zhao Zhihai was always looking at them with a smile on his face, so they gradually stopped scolding and waited for Zhao Zhihai's next words.

Zhao Zhihai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Zhao once did something when he retreated to Wenshui City, Zhao beheaded all the four thousand elite soldiers who participated in the massacre of local people on the shore of Wenshui. And the people of Wenshui City celebrated for three whole months, and every day and night during those three months, people would spontaneously send their little food to the labor army outside the barracks.

As you know, those beheaded soldiers slaughtered the people of Qinlan County, and had nothing to do with the people of Wenshui City.

Don't the people know that one more soldier guards Wenshui City, and when the Rong army comes, they will have an extra guarantee of safety?

But why would they be so happy to kill those soldiers?

Later, Zhao figured out that the people only wanted to stay away from the danger, and they didn't care who brought the danger.

Whether it is the people of Qin or Rong, the people don't care, they just want to live peacefully, and they only care that the danger can disappear in front of their eyes.

At that time, the people only knew that the Rong people were man-eating monsters, so they were afraid that the Rong people would come and occupy their homeland.

But have you ever thought that when the Rong people captured Wenshui and issued this "Xia Law" and implemented it to the letter, would the people of Wenshui City still miss our officers and soldiers?

On the one hand, there is the alien army that treats them equally and gives them land, and on the other hand, there are the compatriots and official soldiers who have slaughtered ordinary people, so the answer is self-evident who the people will choose and who they will fight for. ”

Zhao Zhihai sat down slowly, and the pavilion fell into silence again.

After a while, I saw several people asking questions softly at Zhao Zhihai, and the content of the questions was also what Zhao Zhihai had said, and they only asked for advice just to confirm it.

Zhao Zhihai naturally knew everything and answered everyone's questions one by one. Among them, Wei Qi Chunxi asked the most and thought the most, it seems that she really felt the trickiness of this fight.

After some discussion, I saw Xiao Wenkao also slowly stand up, and after saluting everyone in the pavilion, he said: "What Gu Zaizuka and Lord Zhao said also happened in my Qi country

Inside. According to the scouts' detailed report, the northern counties where the Qi State had fallen had also killed nobles and divided land in the past year.

And in a short period of time, the number of Qi people who joined the Rong army has reached 100,000.

The Rong army suddenly appeared in the north of our country more than a year ago, and the king had sent 100,000 forbidden troops to resist but was defeated by the Rong army in the field.

......

Don't be afraid of the jokes of the princes, since the Rong army sneaked south from Beichuan Yan County, our Qi army has not even won a decent battle. The only soldiers and horses of the Qi State who had won the victory were still loaned to the 40,000 troops of General Yuli in Yuanyou, Hexi County.

Today, the situation in our Qi country is already shaky, although our country still has two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, but we really have no ability to dare to guarantee that we will be able to resist the southward movement of the Rong army in the yellow water.

You must be very curious why Wen Kao would say this, why did he not dare to fight when he had several times more troops.

In fact, this conclusion was reached by Marshal Lian Min, who immediately reorganized the remnants of the army and trained them after returning to Beijing.

However, during a certain training, Marshal Lian Min deliberately sent hundreds of cavalry from a distance to kill the tens of thousands of foot soldiers who were practicing, but the tens of thousands of foot soldiers only lost their armor in an instant, and they fled without even seeing the number of those who came.

Marshal Lian Min was shocked and went to various camps to investigate, and found that the whole army was looking fearful.

Therefore, after returning to Beijing, the marshal once said to our monarch: The three armies of Qi have been seized, and the soldiers and horses will immediately flee when they hear the word Rongren, and it is impossible for such soldiers and horses to win the battle.

Therefore, the only way is to ask the people of Chu to help us guard the Yellow Water, so that we may have a chance to resist the southward movement of the Rong army. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wenkao walked to the front of the desk, bowed to Mi Chunxi, and then pleaded with a trembling voice:

"Fourth princess, my Qi country is already in danger, so Xiao has to take the following measures, and I hope that the fourth princess will not blame.

Now that more and more people in the north of Huangshui have taken refuge in the Rong people, it is believed that the Rong army will soon move south. Qi Chu relied on each other, and hoped that the four princesses could send charcoal in the snow and save my Qi country from danger. ”

Xiao Wenkao said and spoke, but he was sad from the heart, and after the words fell, his legs were weak, and he suddenly sat down on the ground and cried.

"Lord Xiao, today we are just discussing how to resist the enemy, as for where the reinforcements go, this is a matter that can only be decided by the Son of Heaven, hasn't Chunxi already explained. Why is Lord Xiao still like this?

Hurry up, Lord Xiao, please get up. ”

Seeing Xiao Wenkao slumped on the ground as she spoke, Qi Chunxi was also panicked for a while, she quickly stood up and comforted Xiao Wenkao, but she didn't dare to step forward to support the elder.

At this time, Mi Chunjia on the side of Mi Chunxi suddenly said in a cold voice: "Lord Xiao's words are different, is it true that your Qi army is afraid of death and dare not fight the Rong army, so you want my Chu army to die for you?" ”

After Mi Chunxi was in a panic and suddenly heard Mi Chunjia's words, he frowned slightly and said, "Second brother, don't say more." ”

Seeing that Mi Chunxi had a displeased look on her face, Mi Chunjia snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Which of the people sitting in the pavilion was not a person with seven exquisite skills, and they had just heard Xiao Wenkao's complaints, although they were also extremely sympathetic to Qi Guo's situation, they also frowned slightly at Xiao Wenkao's outspoken words and shook their heads.

As Qi Chunjia said, could it be that the reinforcements of the Chu State went to the Qi State to replace the demoralized Qi troops to send them to death?

Xiao Wenkao was flustered today, his words and deeds not only failed to convince Qi Chunxi, but also his repeated remarks offended the Chu State, and it seems that the Chu army's rescue of the Qi State will have another right and wrong.

Tian Dong, who was originally sitting next to Xiao Wenkao, looked at Xiao Wenkao who was sitting on the ground at this time, and smiled bitterly in his heart.

This Xiao Wenkao has grown up with him since he was a child, how can he not understand Xiao Wenkao's panic at this time. Although Xiao Wenkao is smart, his heart is extremely exaggerated, and he can't hold his breath when he encounters problems, and he is not a person who has achieved great things. Compared with his father Xiao Kun, both ability and character are comparable to Yunni.

But today's words of Xiao Wenkao are also from the bottom of his heart, even if the people of Chu have a misunderstanding, it is also an unintentional move.

Thinking of this, Tian Tong hurriedly got up and saluted everyone and said, "Your lords have misunderstood.

Lord Xiao's words are not that he wants the reinforcements of the Chu State to be in danger alone and imprisoned, but that the army of our Qi State is indeed unbearable to fight again at this time. That's why I hope that the Chu army can go north to meet the front line of Huangshui.

However, if the Chu army goes north, it will not just be the Chu army to undertake defensive operations and other things, but cooperate with our Qi army to fight together.

At present, Marshal Lian Min is reorganizing the three armies, and I believe that as long as the Chu army can lend a helping hand, it will be able to take over the defense again after our army is rectified, and this time will definitely not exceed a year.

Besides, if the Chu army can lend a hand, then our Qi country will naturally not treat the soldiers badly. All military expenses, grain and grass expenses will be borne by our Qi country, and after the Rong army retreats in the future, our Qi country will also cede a county of land as compensation. ”

After Tian Dong finished speaking, regardless of the discussion of everyone in the pavilion, he walked straight to Xiao Wenkao's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lord Xiao, there is no need for this at the moment of national crisis, the fourth princess and the Son of Heaven will naturally understand the stakes." ”

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Wenkao, who was looking up at him, and helped him up with a solemn face, and the two of them sat down again.

"Lord Xiao doesn't need to be sad, from what Lord Xiao said, Zhu Lihua felt that the 20,000 Rong troops who went to Qi this time were very different from the Rong troops who appeared in Qin State.

I'm afraid they are the elite of the Rong people, so the defeat of the Qi army in their hands is not an unsightly thing.

In my opinion, the 20,000 Rong army is several times more powerful than the 100,000 Rong army that appeared in my Qin State.

At this time, we can only find a way to defeat them by grasping the specific situation of these 20,000 Rong troops, and we can't just rely on the experience of the Qin State to do this. ”

Seeing that the person who spoke was the one who had just shocked the four people, Xiao Wenkao immediately straightened up his originally decadent body and looked at Lihua and said, "General Lili, is this true?" ”

Zhu Lihua nodded, frowned slightly, and then said to Xiao Wenkao: "Zhu Lihua is just a guess, but there is no mistake in ten **."

I have been fighting with the Rong army for several years, but I have never seen more than 10,000 Rong cavalry with distinct armor, let alone any Rong army that will use the weapons in my pass.

Moreover, Lord Xiao said that they were divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry, and in the field battle, the light armored cavalry roamed around the periphery and shot arrows to defeat the array, and the heavy armored cavalry was responsible for giving a thunderous blow when the infantry battle formation was loose.

So if I didn't guess wrong, this kind of tactic would only be used by my Qin State Xuanjia Cavalry in its heyday.
