Chapter Seventy-Six: Who is in charge?

Xuanwu Marquis Mansion.

After Tian Yi came back, he relayed Ji Qiao's opinion to his father.

After hearing this, Xuanwu Hou couldn't help but admire: "Ji Qiao, this kid is indeed knowledgeable!" And things are done without leakage, no matter whether the Qi army wins or loses, the king will not blame Lin Yan. I originally thought that if the Qi army lost, I could use this matter to join Lin Yan and force the king to deal with him, but it seems that it will not work! ”

Tian Yi was a little disappointed: "Let them escape!" ”

Xuanwu Hou said: "That's not necessarily, if the alliance of Wei, Zhao, Han and Yan is fierce and pursues the Qi army, there will still be a chance then." ”

......

Qi Palace.

King Qi had already listened to Tian Wu's report.

Then the princess told him the matter again.

King Qi also discovered the seriousness of the matter now, and felt that he was a little careless and did not think it through. There are still 250,000 troops in the country, which can be transferred to the western front to resist the Sanjin coalition army.

However, the king of Qi was only ready to send 200,000 troops, leaving 50,000 to defend the capital in case of contingencies.

What makes it difficult for King Qi to decide is that he doesn't know who to send to command the troops?

Zishen admonished at this time: "Your Majesty, the Three Jin Dynasty may not really attack the Qi State from the Western Front, it is just speculation now. It is enough to send a steady general to command the troops, and when the time comes, the three Jin will see that our army is more prepared, and they will not attack easily. ”

King Qi thought that this was the truth, but he didn't want to make another statement, so he said in embarrassment: "The last time I sent 300,000 troops to attack Yan State, Gu had directly appointed Ziqi as the commander, and if I directly appointed the generals this time, it would be a little inappropriate." ”

Zishen immediately suggested: "The king can propose in the court tomorrow and send 200,000 troops to the western front for defense, so that everyone can recommend the commander." I immediately recommended the man the king wanted, and at the same time secretly enlisted the support of some ministers. Then the king made a direct decision, and the ministers had nothing to say. ”

King Qi readily agreed: "This plan is very good! ”

......

The next day, in the court.

The king of Qi told him about sending troops to defend the western front, and then pretended to ask: "Who can be the commander?" The secretary of the public recommends one or two. ”

Zishen is trying to cooperate.

Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Xuanwu opened his mouth first: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Marquis of Anbang can take on this important responsibility!" The attack on Yan was his strong admonition, and at that time he proposed to beware of the Three Jins. Guchen thought that the Marquis of Anbang would be able to carry out the king's intentions and defend against the enemy army outside the country. ”

The ministers were very puzzled, didn't the Marquis of Xuanwu have a contradiction with An Banghou! How do you recommend him?

Even Lin Yan himself was taken aback! I was a little confused for a while.

Zishen immediately objected: "Your Majesty, An Banghou has no combat experience and cannot command troops. The minister thought that General Sun Qian could be qualified for this post, and he had been fighting on the battlefield for many years and had rich combat experience! and followed the birth and death of the previous king, and made a lot of military exploits, and the generals also obeyed him. ”

However, Xuanwu Hou argued on the basis of reason, and believed that Anbanghou was the most suitable.

So, the two sides began to argue.

At the same time, the ministers began to take sides, and immediately formed two factions, supporting Lin Yan and Sun Liang respectively.

King Qi is a little embarrassed now! asked Lin Yan directly: "An Banghou, what do you think?" ”

Lin Yan has now come back to his senses and remembered Ji Qiao's words, this battle will be lost by the Qi Kingdom! Xuanwu Hou recommended himself to lead the army at this time, he must have wanted to wait for the defeat of the Qi army to blame himself.

So he refused: "Your Majesty, the minister has never led the troops, so he can't take on this important task, and he also asks the king to invite another meritocracy." ”

One minister immediately objected: "How can Anbanghou shirk responsibility? At the beginning, it was you who advised the king to send troops to attack Yan Kingdom, but we did not approve of it. Now when the country needs you to help, but you are hiding, what is your intention? ”

Lin Yan argued: "These are two different things, and admonition and command of the army cannot be confused. ”

The minister continued to object: "Don't be modest, we didn't see your true ability before. But since the beginning of the tournament held in your mansion to recruit relatives, then you killed five hundred sneak attackers without a single soldier, and then defeated your opponent in the silk battle. It can be seen from all this that An Banghou is a person who is well versed in the art of war! ”

Lin Yan was speechless, although this was all Ji Qiao's idea, but he couldn't be dragged in.

At this time, King Qi thought that it would be okay for Anbanghou to command the army, anyway, he was not a person from Xuanwu Hou, and he would send a capable deputy general, and the actual effect would be the same.

However, I was still a little worried about An Banghou's ability, so it was still difficult to choose for a while.

Suddenly, Tian Wu said: "Your Majesty, my brother thinks that An Banghou is the best candidate!" Ji Qiao, a subordinate in his house, has been taught, and he is indeed wise and will be able to help. ”

King Qi was overjoyed when he heard this! thinks that this is true, how can I forget that there is still a Ji Qiao in the Anbang Hou Mansion! This kid has a way of doing things, and he can adapt to changes, so he should be able to help Lin Yan. So he immediately made a decision: "The army will set off in three days, led by An Banghou, with Sun Qian as the deputy commander." ”

Lin Yan had no choice, so he had to accept the order. But the psychology thought: Qiao Gongzi must have a way to solve it!

......

Ampang Houfu.

After Lin Yan came back, he told the court in detail.

What Ji Qiao couldn't figure out was why Tian Wu also recommended Lin Yan? Do you also want to put the Marquis of Anbang to death? But the Hou Mansion didn't have a holiday with him!

Lin Shi was overjoyed: "We can lead troops to fight, and it is an army of 200,000, how majestic is this!" ”

Dongfang Jiao immediately scolded: "Happy fart, if you lose this battle, let you take the blame." ”

Lin Shi immediately bowed his head and was silent, thinking that such a good thing would not fall on his father's head in vain, this is Xuanwu Hou playing a ghost.

Lin Yan asked eagerly, "Young Master Qiao, what is going on now?" Is it true that there is no chance of winning this battle? ”

Ji Qiao thought to himself: This battle is indeed lost! Moreover, with the current national strength of the Qi State, it is impossible to fight on two fronts at the same time, and it can still win. Especially the year before last, the Qi State had just been defeated, and it had not yet recovered, and the current national grain stocks were insufficient.

Now the only way out is to find a way to persuade the king of Qi to take back his order and not let Hou Ye command the army, so as not to become a substitute for the dead ghost.

Lin Shi said suddenly: "If you don't let your father pretend to be sick, the king will definitely choose another general." ”

Lin Yan shook his head and said: "This plan is not appropriate, when I went to court today, I was still alive, and now pretending to be sick will definitely arouse suspicion." ”

Ji Qiao was inspired by Lin Shi and immediately said: "This plan is feasible, but it is not pretending to be sick, but pretending to be injured, we designed to let the Hou Ye suffer a little injury, and let the ministers of the court and the central government know." ”

Lin Shi remembered what hurt Tian Yi, so she asked, "You won't let people beat my father, right?" ”

Ji Qiao actually smiled: "I do have this idea." ”

Lin Yan hurriedly said: "Master Qiao, don't be joking, let's talk about business, how to pretend to be injured?" ”

Ji Qiao replied with a serious expression: "Master Hou, there is really no other way, you have to suffer some skin trauma, and others can believe it." ”

Dongfang Jiao hurriedly asked worriedly: "Young Master Qiao, do you really want to fight?" ”

Ji Qiao smiled: "No, I have already thought of specific countermeasures, when the Hou Ye goes to the court tomorrow, he must behave very actively, saying that he is very willing to command the troops, and propose some specific combat measures to the king."

However, when he went down, Hou Ye managed to frighten the horse in Chengnai, and then fell off the horse and pretended to have his leg broken.

This should be done very realistically, so that others can see the flaws. It's best for Hou Ye to practice a few times now. ”

Lin Yan hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Okay, just do it, I'll go practice now." ”
