Qi Guo...... Attack the Song Kingdom?

In the quiet room, Zhai Zhang, Gongsun Zhu, Storm Kite, and Gong Zhongxuan looked at each other, and they couldn't digest this sudden news for a while.

However, the next moment, the eyes of the four people were invariably focused on Meng Zhong.

You must know that Meng Zhong is a Song person, and his original purpose of defecting to Wei was to promote the alliance between Wei and Song, and use the power of Wei to resist Qi's coveting of Song...... Where do we go from here?

If it were in peacetime, I believe that Zhai Zhang would definitely support him in order to keep Meng Zhong in Wei and declare war on Qi State, but the problem is that at present, his Wei State is at a critical point in the war with Qin State, not to mention that he is temporarily unable to assist Song State, even Meng Zhong himself, Zhai Zhang does not want him to leave this war without authorization and return to Song State alone.

After all, the Wei and Han coalition forces without Meng Zhong's command were like the Qi army without Kuang Zhang, and the threat level was as simple as falling a notch.

But even though Zhai Zhang, Gongsun Zhu, and Storm Kite all wanted Meng Zhong to stay on this battlefield, at this moment, none of the three of them opened their mouths, because they understood that how to decide this matter, in the end, Meng Zhong had to make up his own mind, and the compulsion of outsiders added to the disgust of this Yuncheng Jun.

After a few moments of silence, Meng Zhong slowly withdrew his finger pointing to the marching map, looked at the guard and asked, "Is the news true?" ”

The guard opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer, and only after a while did he weakly answer: "It was sent by the palace guard of the Great Liang in a chariot for days and nights......"

Hearing this, Meng Zhong fell silent again.

The palace guards of the Great Liang Palace, naturally there is no need to doubt their credibility, obviously it was Wang Wei who specially sent someone to send this news to him.

“……”

Looking at Meng Zhong, who fell silent again, Zhai Zhang, Gongsun Zhu, and Storm Kite all glanced at each other with some concern.

Thinking about it, the three of them have the same idea at the moment: this war is at the most critical time, and no one can do without it, but the actual commander of the Wei and Han coalition forces in front of him can't be missing! If Meng Zhong leaves, then what will be the battle fought?

But worry is worry, and they don't want to say anything about it.

Just when they were worried, they suddenly saw Meng Zhong take a long breath, nodded and said, "Okay, I know." ”

With that, he pointed to the map again and said calmly, "Back to the battle discussion just now...... At this moment, the Shangdang Han army stationed in the area of Pishi and Hejin ordered it to capture Jigu and Shaoliang, and after succeeding, it went south and captured Yuanli and Heyang; The Wei army in Hedong ordered Fei Hui's troops to go out of Fenglingdu and Liang Xi's troops to go out of Puban, or to put on a strong crossing posture to contain the Qin army in Linjin, or to induce the Qin army in Linjin to attack Hedong, so that our side and the Shangdang Han army could outflank it......"

Under the eyes of Zhai Zhang, Gongsun Zhu, Storm Kite, and Gongzhong Xuan, Meng Zhong calmly continued to formulate a strategy to attack Xihe County, as if the matter of Qi's invasion of the Song Dynasty had not affected him in the slightest.

But...... Is that really the case?

After a while, after Zhai Zhang, Gongsun Zhu, and Storm Kite all left with a feeling of gain and loss, Gong Zhong couldn't help but ask Meng Zhong: "Ah Zhong, the State of Qi is attacking the Song State and attacking your hometown, ...... you?"

Hearing this, Meng Zhong couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed: "The arrow is on the string, I have to send it." ”

In all fairness, Meng Zhong was of course eager to return to the Song State immediately, so the Wei State was temporarily unable to support the Song State, and the return of a few of their brothers to the Song State was believed to be a significant change in the war situation of the Song State.

But the problem is, he really can't go.

The war between his Wei and Han coalition forces and Qin State is at the most critical time, in order to make each other submit, no one is willing to show weakness, if he Meng Zhong leaves the Wei and Han coalition forces and returns to the Song State at this time, in case the Wei and Han coalition forces are defeated, the consequences are really unimaginable.

Some people may think that Zhai Zhang, Gongsun Zhu, and Storm Kite are all in Yin and Jin at the moment, why didn't Meng Zhong hand over the war here to these three and return to the Song Kingdom by himself?

But in fact, Zhai Zhang is over seventy years old, don't say that his bravery is not as good as back then, and his thinking reaction is far inferior to that of young people, how can Meng Zhong rest assured that this veteran will shoulder such a heavy responsibility again?

As for Gongsun Zhu and Tyranny Kite, the former is almost not good at leading troops to fight, and the latter is a defeated general under the Qin general Bai Qi, although there is still Gongzhong extravagance, but in fact Meng Zhong does not think that Gongzhong can defeat Bai Qi - Meng Zhong, who has fought with Bai Qi many times, knows very well that that guy is very powerful, so powerful that as long as there is a trace of negligence, he will be caught by the other party, just like Gongsun Xi back then, thinking that the garrison can sit back and relax behind the main force of the Korean army, and almost lost 180,000 Wei troops.

"For the sake of today, the only way to defeat the Qin State is to defeat it as soon as possible." Meng Zhong said in a deep voice to Gong Zhong.

Gong Zhong opened his mouth extravagantly, not knowing what to say.

Defeat the Qin State as soon as possible? It's easy to say, but is it really that simple? How can it be!

Even if it was Meng Zhong who said this, Gong Zhong didn't believe it.

According to Gong Zhongxuan's personal judgment, if Meng Zhong wanted to defeat the Qin State, it was not necessarily impossible to do it with his talents, but it would take a certain amount of time - one or two years for the shortest, and five to ten years for the longest.

In fact, according to Meng Zhong's previous estimates, he also focused on gradually weakening the Qin State through ten years of operation of Hedong County and even Xihe County.

As for expecting to defeat the Qin state through a battle, this is unrealistic, after all, it is the Qin state, a country that completely implemented the military merit reward system after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and a country where almost every man in the country hopes to improve his social status by establishing meritorious service on the battlefield.

The art of war cloud, those who want the same thing and those who want to win.

This was the case in the Qin state, where the king of Qin supported the war, the courtiers and nobles supported the war, and the commoners in the country also supported the war, which led to the Qin state becoming a fierce beast that everyone in the Central Plains feared.

After thinking about it, Gong Zhongxuan suggested, "Why don't you consider peace talks with the Qin State?" You and I both know, in fact, Qin Guo was also forced, just because you sat in the position of Hedong Shou, which made Qin Guo feel afraid, as long as you unload Hedong Shou......"

"No!"

Without waiting for Gong Zhong to finish speaking, Meng Zhong shook his head and said: "If we negotiate peace with the Qin State at this time, then the soldiers who sacrificed in our Wei and Han armies will all die in vain. There is no need to guess to know that the Qin State will inevitably threaten us in turn, not only will it not cede the land, but it may also put forward a demand for non-division in turn. …… Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, how can it be impossible not to keep your mouth shut when you smell blood? Of course, I hope to bring the army of Wei back to aid the Song State, but I also know that the Qin State will definitely not let our army leave in vain, at the very least, the land of Huakun, including Hangu Pass, it will be recovered. Even, they will wait for an opportunity to try to capture Hedong County. …… Although I am a Song person, I have been gifted by the king of Wei in Wei and worshiped as the king of a place; Yu Han has received a lot of support from your country in terms of grain, grass and ordnance, and now Wei and Han are on the most critical threshold, as long as they cross this threshold, they can not be afraid of Qin from now on, I ...... How can you get away? ”

Hearing Meng Zhong's sincere words, and looking at his complicated expression, Gong Zhong was in awe, of course he knew that Meng Zhong's heart was struggling fiercely at this moment.

I saw him holding Meng Zhong's hand and said solemnly: "I am not talented, I am willing to help you break the Qin State as soon as possible!" ”

"Thank you, sir."

That night, Zhai Zhang, Gongsun Zhu, and Storm Kite also learned about Meng Zhong's final decision from Gong Zhong's mouth.

When they learned that Meng Zhong had the forbearance to help him and Wei and Han to bring Qin to their knees, despite the fact that his homeland was being attacked by Qi, the three of them were in awe.

For this reason, Zhai Zhang privately said to Gongsun Jian and Storm Kite: "...... This son's virtue is really convincing, and we must not let him down, the old man hopes that the two of you will strictly supervise the army under your command and do your best to break the Qin State! ”

Gongsun Jian and Storm Kite nodded one after another, and an order was issued on the same day, according to Meng Zhong's strategic arrangement, ordering all armies to step up preparations for the attack on Xihe County, the original ten-day period was shortened to five days, and the original five-day period was shortened to two days.

During this period, Meng Zhong gave some consideration to the affairs of the three armies of Zhao, Qi, and Yan.

In view of the alliance between Wei and Song, the Qi State attacked the Song State for no reason, which meant that it was already hostile to the Wei State, even if Meng Zhong treated the nearly 40,000 Qi troops under Tian Touch's command as enemies, it would not be an exaggeration, but after contemplation, Meng Zhong decided to settle the matter peacefully with Tian Touch.

In fact, he can attack the Qi army at night, not to mention the total strength of the Wei-Han coalition army, even if it is only the Wei-Han coalition army in the Yinjin and Zheng counties, he can kill the 40,000 Qi troops under Tian Touch's command overnight, the problem is that the negative impact of this is too great, after all, although the Qi State attacked the Song State, but as a Qi general, Tian Touch, he has never done anything to clearly harm the interests of the coalition army so far, if the Wei and Han coalition forces rashly act against this Qi army, it is easy to provoke the criticism of the world.

Of course, the main thing is that Meng Zhong doesn't want to make extraneous branches.

So, Meng Zhong sent someone to invite Tian to Yin Jin to attend the meeting.

After receiving the news, Tian Touch thought about it in his account for a long time.

It turned out that when the Qi State launched an offensive against the Song State in early March this year, some of his clansmen turned to Yin and Jin - around mid-May, Tian Yan had already learned that he Qi sent 300,000 troops to attack the Qi State.

It was also at that time that Tian Touch tried to lead the army back to China many times, but Meng Zhong stuck him to the death - not only the Qi army, but in fact, Li Dui's Zhao army and Le Yi's Yan army were all stuck in the throat by Meng Zhong's borrowed grain and grass, so that these three armies could not return to their own country immediately, lest Zhao, Qi, and Yan interfere in the decisive battle between Wei and Han and Qin.

Several attempts to lead the army back to China were rejected by Meng Zhong in disguise, and he couldn't bear to leave the more than 40,000 Qi sons in the army to sneak back to Qi alone, Tian Touch could only wait for the opportunity, waiting for Wei and Han to fight with Qin, and then negotiate with Meng Zhong - this was actually the idea of Fengyang Jun Li Dui.

What Li Dui and Tian Touch didn't expect was that this time Wei and Han were so decisive, South Korea not only sent the only tens of thousands of mobile troops in the country, but even the Shangdang army was sent out; And the Wei State simply transferred eighty percent of the Wei army in Hanoi to support the Yin and Jin Dynasty.

Due to the successive arrival of these Wei and Han armies in the Hedong and Yin and Jin regions, Li Dui and Tian Touch did not dare to move.

This waited for two months, waiting for all kinds of signs that the Wei and Han armies were finally going to start a large-scale decisive battle with the Qin State, but they did not expect that they were waiting for Meng Zhong's invitation at the same time.

Go?

Or not going?

For half a moment, Tian Touch paced back and forth in his account, weighing the pros and cons.

In the end, he still decided to accept Meng Zhong's invitation honestly, after all, with his understanding of Meng Zhong, Meng Zhong was a disciple of a saint, and he didn't disdain to do some indiscriminate things, so as not to deceive him to Yin Jin and kill him with a knife, not to mention that he still had some friendship with Meng Zhong.

But if you don't talk about it...... If you don't know, Meng Zhong will order the Wei and Han armies under his command to attack his Qi army in advance.

Tian Touch was defeated three times at the hands of Meng Zhong, and each defeat was different, and he really didn't have the confidence to resist this Yuncheng Jun who used his soldiers like a god.

On the afternoon of the sixth day of the seventh month, Tian Ji was invited to Yin Jin and met Meng Zhong.

After ordering the guards to invite Tian Touch to a side room, Meng Zhong asked Tian Touch directly: "Touch, I received a message from Daliang yesterday and learned that your country tore up the agreement in early March this year and launched an attack on the Song State again, I wonder if Touche knows about it?" ”

『…… Sure enough.'"

Seeing Meng Zhong's gloomy face, Tian Fu sighed in his heart.

He wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up, kept silent, neither admitted nor denied it.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong was a little surprised.

He thought that Tian Touch dared to come to see him, which should show that Tian Touch didn't know about it, but he didn't expect that Tian Touch actually knew.

Knowing that the matter is serious, he dares to come to the appointment, which shows that this person's courage is not small.

Sighing slightly, Meng Zhong said to Tian Touch with disappointment: "Touch, although you and I had some misunderstandings at first, but after a while, I thought that you and I could become friends and ......

Seeing the disappointment on Meng Zhong's face, a few complicated expressions flashed in Tian Fu's eyes.

It is true that his purpose in befriending Meng Zhong in the first place was not simple, to put it bluntly, it was just so that if he fell into the hands of Meng Zhong in the future, he could escape death through their friendship, but this did not mean that he didn't want to befriend Meng Zhong - who wouldn't want to befriend this dignified Yuncheng Jun?

I and Yuncheng Jun are close friends, how long is this face?

Sighing, Tian Touch shook his head and said, "Yunchengjun, there are some things that Tian has no choice...... If I could call the shots, I would have persuaded the king to live in peace with the Song Kingdom, but I couldn't call the shots...... Don't say it's me, even Zhangzi can't call the shots, the king of our country, he was instigated by the traitor Su Qin, for a so-called filial piety, built a palace for the first king, and the treasury was empty and still did not repent, trying to capture the Song State and seize the wealth of the Song State...... The entire Qi people in Linzi persuaded the king for this, but the king did not obey...... I Tian Touch is the general of the Great Qi and has to obey the king's orders. ”

After that, he took a deep breath, looked at Meng Zhong Zhengse and said: "Seeing that you invited me to come to Yin Jin today, I guessed that you may have received the news of the battle of Qi and Song. ”

Meng Zhong took a deep look at Tian Yan and asked, "How many people in your army have learned the truth?" ”

"I'm the only one." Tian Yan replied.

Hearing this, Meng Zhong sneered, shook his head and said, "Then if I imprison you, won't the Qi army under your command come to trouble me?" ”

Speaking of this, he restrained the smile on his face: "Tell your sergeants to take off their armor, and I will let you lead them back to Qi and give you a batch of grain and grass." ”

Tian Feng glanced at Meng Zhong in surprise, then frowned and pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slightly: "Okay!" ”

On the same day, Tian Touch returned to Qi and issued an order, saying that he had accepted Qin's peace conditions and did not want to participate in the next war between Wei and Han and Qin, so he decided to exchange the armor of the whole army for grain and grass for returning to China from the Wei and Han coalition forces.

I have to say that this order made the Qi army feel inexplicable.

But because he could finally return to Qi, no one objected.

However, it was Meng Zhong's side, and after Zhai Zhang learned about this, he hurriedly found Meng Zhong: "Boy, why do you want to agree to Tian Zhen leading the army to Qi?" Do you know that if you let these 40,000 people return to Qi, these 40,000 Qi troops will be sent to attack the Song State in the blink of an eye. Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said, "Instead of giving up and returning, it is better to strike first." ”

As he spoke, he made a knife cut his throat.

Glancing at the fierce look in the eyes of this old Sima, Meng Zhong shook his head and said: "The five countries jointly attack Qin, although they are scattered but their feelings are divided, Wei State must not attack when the former friendly army returns, otherwise it will damage the reputation of Wei State." But leaving him in Yin Jin, I was also worried about the branches, so I simply asked him to take off his armor and release him to the Qi State...... As for meeting him on the battlefield on the other day, that's another matter! ”

Zhai Zhang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and silently patted Meng Zhong's shoulder.

At this moment, he could finally understand why Han Wang and Tyrant Kite were so relieved to hand over the command of their army to the young Yuncheng Jun in front of him.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, 40,000 Qi troops unloaded their armor and crossed the river to Hedong County, preparing to return to Qi from Hedong County.

Hearing this news, Fengyangjun Li Dui was shocked: What's the situation? Then Meng Zhong actually allowed the Qi army to retreat?

At the same time, he felt that something was wrong, as well as the minister of Qin who stayed in Yin and Jin, Marquis Wei Ran.

However, without waiting for Wei Ran to ponder carefully, Meng Zhong ordered the battle of Baili Qiangdu, and the Wei and Han coalition forces in Zhengxian, Yinjin, Fenglingdu, Puban, Hejin and other places launched an offensive at the same time, and behaved extremely strongly.

"The Wei and Han armies are crazy? Is Meng Zhong crazy?'

In just two days, Qin generals such as Bai Qi, Sima Cuo, Xiang Shou, and Huayang Jun Qirong all felt that something was wrong.

It is indeed a good strategy to launch a forcible crossing battle of more than 100 miles at the same time in Weishui and Heshui, but the problem is that the offensive of the Wei-Han coalition army is a bit too reckless, right?

In the whole five days, the Wei and Han coalition forces launched a series of battles to force crossing, and their brave momentum almost overwhelmed the Qin army, which had a numerical advantage, so that Bai Qi, Sima Cuo, Xiang Shou, Qi Rong and others were shocked and suspicious.

Shockingly, the ferocity of Meng Zhong's general attack exceeded their expectations; What is suspicious is that Meng Zhong would hardly have fought such a 'tough battle' in the past......

“…… I've never seen that guy want to win so much. ”

Qin Jiang Bai Qi was very confused in his heart.

The Meng Zhong in his memory has always calmly waited for the other party to make mistakes, especially in the current situation of equal strength, but he took the initiative to launch an offensive like now, and he still swore not to give up until he reached his goal, which is really rare in the war commanded by Meng Zhong.

Bai Qi was a little suspicious that it was his Qin soldier who accidentally killed one of Meng Zhong's brothers, which completely angered that Yuncheng Jun......

Although he finally checked around, Bai Qi was sure that Menghu, Huahu, and Lejin were all alive and well, but he still insisted on his guess: someone must have violated the bottom line of that guy.

From mid-July to late July, the Wei-Han coalition and the Qin army continued to fight, and both sides gritted their teeth to support it.

And at this moment, Wei Ran finally learned the news of Qi's attack on Song, and thus understood the reason why that Yuncheng Jun became so radical and abnormal.

By the way, when he saw the news sent by Xizuo, Wei Ran was simply stunned.

He had only heard of the misfortune leading to the east, but he had never heard of the initiative to pour the calamity on himself......

Qi Guo's foreign strategy opened his eyes.
