Xuanwu Hou disagreed, and said with disdain: "Gongzi Qiao thinks highly of himself, your life is not worth the price." ”

Unexpectedly, Lin Yan said loudly at this time: "Plus my life, can you?" ”

Now, Xuanwu Hou is a little embarrassed, should he gamble?

If you don't gamble, you will think that you are timid; Bet, Lin Yan is so confident, maybe Ji Qiao kid has a trick!

And all the people looked at him.

Xuanwu Hou is a little difficult to ride a tiger now, and after thinking about it, he had to promise stubbornly: "Bet on it!" ”

Unexpectedly, Ji Qiao smiled again: "Xuanwu Hou, now is the time to resist foreign enemies, it is not appropriate for our two families to make enemies, and there is no need to make such a big bet." I propose: If we lose, I will do it with you; If you lose, all you need to do is shake hands with us. ”

After hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but admire Ji Qiaolai, this kid has a measure!

Actually, this is also the result that Ji Qiao wants, by the way, to win people's hearts.

King Qi nodded at this time and said, "Young Master Qiao is reasonable!" Now is the time to defend ourselves against foreign enemies, and we and our monarchs and ministers must be united! Such a beautiful thing, Xuanwu agreed! ”

Ji Qiao couldn't be angry: I'm gambling with my life, and you King Qi still says it's a good thing!

Xuanwu Hou was a little worried just now, but now that there is no risk, he wants to agree, but he is afraid that everyone will say that he is taking advantage.

So he also raised his posture: "Okay, I promised." But don't worry, if I win, I won't be too embarrassed by that time. ”

But the psychology is that when the time comes, you can just withdraw from the entire silk market.

When King Qi saw that both families were willing to go to the front line, he couldn't help but be overjoyed!

At the same time, I am also a little worried: this Xuanwu candidate has rich combat experience, and it should not be a problem to turn the tide of the battle; This Anbanghou can't do it, all the hope is pinned on Ji Qiao, but this kid has never fought!

But he comforted himself again: Ji Qiao, this kid is very good, and he will never do things that he is not sure of, let alone gamble with his own life!

So he preached: "Your two families are now back at home and ready, and they will leave tomorrow to see you off alone." ”

......

Ampang Houfu.

Everyone was very happy to see Lin Yan come back without danger! knows that most of it is the credit of Ji Qiao.

So I was very curious to ask about the specific process.

Lin Yan immediately spoke excitedly.

......

After everyone listened, they kept praising Ji Qiao!

However, Dongfang Jiao asked, "Young Master Qiao, how did you arrange it?" Are you going to leave me and Ling'er behind and take the three of them to the front line? ”

While speaking, his hands turned to Lin Yan, Lin Qing, and Lin Shi one by one.

Ji Qiao asked in surprise: "What's wrong with this arrangement?" ”

Dongfang Jiao replied very seriously: "Of course it's not!" What is the use of these three fools to bring them, let them stay and watch the house, and I will go with you. ”

"No way!" Lin Yan, Lin Qing, and Lin Shi opposed it at the same time, and immediately fought with her.

Ji Ling persuaded at this time: "Don't fight, you all go, the Hou Mansion has Steward Chen watching, it will be fine, I will go to the palace to live with the princess." ”

"That's for the best!" The four people who disputed agreed with it.

"Okay." Ji Qiao nodded in agreement.

However, he reluctantly said: "Then Mrs. Dongfang will take Joe Jockey 500 people to set off first tonight, and she will act covertly, this is our family background, and it cannot be easily discovered." I, the master, the son, and the young lady will set off tomorrow with a swagger. ”

Dongfang Jiao suddenly felt that something was wrong, this kid seemed to have planned it a long time ago, and let people secretly take Jockey Qiao to set off tonight. And this candidate to lead the team, Fujun and Shi'er are definitely not good, only himself and Qing'er are suitable.

But the king is going to see him off tomorrow, if Shi'er follows to the front line, and Qing'er doesn't go, it will definitely arouse suspicion, so the most suitable person to lead the team is himself!

Dongfang Jiao felt a little lost, originally Ji Qiao begged him to lead his troops to the front line, but now he has become cheeky to fight.

So he said angrily: "Young Master Qiao, you originally wanted to beg me to go to the front line, but I was cheeky and rushed to go." I didn't expect you to even calculate me now! ”

Ji Qiao smiled: "How dare you! It's you who are too anxious to wait for me to come up with a plan. ”

Lin Shi was a little unconvinced: "Mother, this is Ji Qiao helping us, should you go, do you still need him to beg?" ”

Dongfang Jiao was even more unhappy, she was fighting with her children just now, and she felt faceless, and now she was ridiculed by Lin Shi!

scolded directly: "It's about your, and you also taught the old lady a lesson!" Qiao Gongzi wants you to say both, and he is facing him now. ”

Lin Shi replied: "I am reasonable, so I didn't look at Ji Qiao." ”

......

Xuanwu Houfu.

Tian Yizai asked: "Dad, will Ji Qiao's kid fight?" ”

Xuanwu Hou shook his head and said, "Dad can't be sure, this kid is becoming more and more unpredictable!" ”

Tian Yi asked again: "Then this bet, can we win?" ”

Xuanwu Hou replied confidently: "Of course you can!" First of all, we are facing a weaker enemy; Secondly, Ji Qiao and they need to spend a lot of energy and time if they want to control the entire army, but Dad doesn't need to, many generals in the army are Daddy's old subordinates. ”

Tian Yi immediately rejoiced: "If they lose, let them compensate Lin Shi." ”

Xuanwu Hou looked at him speechlessly, and sighed mentally: That's all there is to it!

......

The next day, on departure.

The king of Qi led the ministers to see him off.

Everyone found that Xuanwu Hou had brought two thousand people, while Lin Yan had only a dozen people.

This strength is too different!

Everyone couldn't help but worry about Ji Qiao.

Xuanwu Hou smiled and said, "Gongzi Qiao, didn't you form an elite army of hundreds of people, why didn't you bring them with you?" ”

Ji Qiao immediately understood that Xuanwu Hou must have been secretly paying attention to every move of the Marquis of Anbang, so he knew about his formation of an army, and at this time he deliberately told the King of Qi and the ministers to listen.

But he still denied it: "Who did Xuanwu Hou listen to? There are only two or three hundred families in our Hou Mansion, and the main job is to be responsible for transporting silk. ”

At this time, a minister asked worriedly: "Young Master Qiao, you guys also bring too little, right?" ”

Ji Qiao immediately replied: "The less the better, we are all riding horses, and we can quickly rush to the front line to support." You see that Xuanwu Hou brought so many people, most of them were infantry, and the march did not know how slow it was. This is like going to the rescue, but I want to replace all the generals in the army. ”

When everyone heard Ji Qiao say this, they couldn't help but believe it, including King Qi.

Xuanwu Hou replied unceremoniously: "You are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!" I took my private soldiers and horses to fight for the country, but I was so unbearable by what you said! ”

Everyone felt that Xuanwu Hou was dedicated to the country, and Ji Qiao thought about it a lot.

Ji Qiao smiled and said, "It's a high-sounding thing!" If you really think about the country, why don't you bring all the 10,000 soldiers of the Xuanwu Houfu and choose 2,000 people. ”

In this way, everyone felt that Xuanwu Hou's intentions were indeed a little wrong.

Xuanwu Hou was a little annoyed and angry: "I'm too lazy to have a verbal dispute with you villain, we will see the battlefield clearly." ”

So, both sides immediately set off for the front.

......

Two days later, Ji Qiao and his entourage had arrived on the battlefield on the Western Front.

At this time, Sun Qian's army had retreated to the east bank of Jishui, and the Sanjin coalition army was camped on the west bank, and now the two armies were facing each other across the river.

Due to the blockage of the river, the Sanjin coalition army did not dare to risk attacking for a while, so it gave Sun Qian's army a chance to kick.

After Ji Qiao came to the army, he directly took out the documents of King Qi and took over the army.

Unexpectedly, Sun Qian was very cooperative and did not have any displeasure.

Ji Qiao didn't ask Dongfang Jiao to bring Joe over, but camped twenty miles later.

Now, Lin Yan is the commander-in-chief, and Sun Qian is the deputy commander-in-chief.

Inside the big tent.

Ji Qiao, Lin Yan, Lin Qing, Lin Shi, Sun Qian, plus several other generals, discussed the military situation together.

Ji Qiao didn't bother to go through the motions, and without the consent of the two commanders, he directly ordered: "We will retreat the army twenty miles back and let the Sanjin coalition army cross the river." ”

Lin Yan was very puzzled: "Young Master Qiao, this Jihe River is a set of natural barriers, just to help us block the enemy army, why do you want to retreat?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Qian seemed to suddenly understand: "Qiao Gongzi wants to pretend to retreat, lure the enemy army across the river, and then set up an ambush on the bank to attack half of the river. ”

Lin Yan immediately praised: "This plan is good!" Qiao Gongzi made a move, and it was really extraordinary! ”

Ji Qiao shook his head: "I didn't think about an ambush!" The river was neither wide nor deep, and the ambush did not have much effect, but it seemed that we were afraid. If the ambush fails, the army will be lost. ”

Sun Qian was puzzled, if he didn't ambush, he should defend the riverbank!

Now I'm a little worried in my heart, Ji Qiao hasn't really fought a war, is he really capable of commanding such a big battle?

So he raised an objection: "Young Master Qiao, the army cannot be withdrawn, and we must not give up this favorable terrain." ”

Ji Qiao didn't bother to explain more to him, and asked Lin Yan directly: "Master Hou is the commander, do you make a decision, withdraw or not?" ”

Of course, Lin Yan unconditionally supported Ji Qiao: "Withdraw." ”

Sun Qian had no choice, knowing that it was useless to object, so he said: "Then give me 20,000 elite soldiers, and I will stay in ambush." ”

Ji Qiao directly vetoed: "No! Our troops were already small, 200,000 troops, but now there are only 150,000 left, and we cannot divide our troops. ”

Sun Qian still objected: "If the Sanjin coalition army crosses the Ji River, and our army makes another mistake, it can go straight to the direction of Linzi." ”

Ji Qiao replied: "When marching to fight, you should take advantage of the terrain, but nothing is absolute.

At present, there are 260,000 troops in the Sanjin Alliance, and our army is only 150,000.

Even if the casualty rate is half-opened, for our army, it will be a heavy loss!

At present, the reserve strength of Qi State is only 50,000, and how to resist the Sanjin coalition army at that time, so we can only outwit it, and we can't always think about fighting. ”

Sun Qian still disagreed: "Your approach is a bit unwise." ”

Ji Qiao was no longer patient, and said loudly: "Are you unconvinced when you see that my master has no military merits, or what's wrong?" If you have the ability, you will be beaten by the enemy and retreat for more than 200 miles!

If you really insist, stay here alone and ambush you.

But after death, we can only report to the king that you have been killed by the enemy for disobedience to orders, unorganized chaos, and by the enemy, and will never recognize that you died fighting for your country. ”
