Didn't Yun Chengjun of Wei fail to attend?

Listening to the conversation between Qin General Bai Qi and Wei General Tang Zhi, Zhao General Han Xu secretly thought in his heart.

In line with the host's suitability, Han Xu presided over this meeting on behalf of Zhao Wang He this time to discuss the matter of the five kingdoms with the generals sent by the various countries, but he himself was still a little afraid of Bai Qi, the reason was very simple, because he and Li Ji, the son of Fengyang Jun Li Dui - no, now it should be called Yang'an Jun Li Ji, were defeated by this Bai Qi together.

Yes, not just defeated, but defeated, at that time, Bai Qi only paid a small number of casualties, and defeated their fifty or sixty thousand Zhao troops.

Bai Qi, this is a very terrible general of the Qin State.

But the Wei State's Yuncheng Jun Mengzhong—no, he should be called Yunhou Mengzhong now—is the only person who can check and balance Bai Qi, and in the case of Han Xu himself, he originally planned to let this Yunhou continue to be the commander of the coalition forces of the Five Kingdoms.

After all, the alliance of the Five Kingdoms was led by Marquis Meng Zhong, not to mention Wei and Han, in fact, Zhao He, the monarch of his Zhao State, also recognized it - Han Xu knew that Zhao Wang He and Meng Zhong actually had a pretty good relationship.

However, I didn't expect that because of the relationship between the Song State, that Marquis of Yun went to the Song State in advance, without this person, who would lead the Five Nations Alliance?

Storm kites?

Han Xu glanced at the storm kite imperceptibly.

It is true that Storm Kite is also a famous general in the world, but this famous general was once defeated by Bai Qi along with another famous general of Wei, Gongsun Xi......

"Ahem."

Coughing lightly, Han Xu Zhengse, who was worried about his heart, said to everyone present: "It's a pity that the Marquis of Yun is concerned about the safety of the Song Kingdom and has not attended this meeting, but I think this meeting must be carried out......

As he spoke, he glanced around at everyone present, and seeing that everyone had no objections, he then said: "Originally, when the king ordered me to preside over this meeting, he instructed me to nominate Marquis Yun as the commander of the coalition army, but Marquis Yun himself also said that he was in the Song State and had no control over the affairs of the coalition army, so he thought that before discussing the strategy of the expedition, we should first nominate a commander...... At the very least, an opinion must be reached on this matter, and the rest of the work can proceed. ”

"Humph!" Bai Qi snorted lightly when he heard this, and glanced at everyone present with a contemptuous expression.

It's no wonder that he looks arrogant, after all, among the four people here, South Korea's Storm Kite and Zhao State's Han Xu are all defeated generals under him, Tang Zhi of Wei State, if it weren't for Meng Zhong's efforts to turn the tide in the Battle of Yique, maybe this Wei general would have died in Yique a long time ago, and in a sense, he was also a defeated general under his command - what qualifications do these three have to compete with him for the position of commander of the coalition forces?

The only exception is Le Yi of Yan Kingdom.

“……”

Bai Qi raised his eyes and glanced at Le Yi opposite.

This Le Yi is not simple, this Bai Qi is very clear, otherwise, when Le Yi was in Zhao State, he would not have become Meng Zhong's deputy general, you must know that Meng Zhong has many brothers and friends around him, like Fang Cheng Ling Mengsui, who is now known as Meng Zhong's right and left hand, is a very qualified general in Bai Qi's opinion - it is already very good to be able to get a qualified evaluation on his Bai Qi's side.

But it is not clear how much ability Le Yi has, after all, since Le Yi 'parted ways' with Meng Zhong and defected to Yan Kingdom, he has never heard of any great feats made by this person......

Or some people say that this Le Yi is deeply hidden, but Bai Qi scoffs at it.

Hidden? No matter how powerful you are, can you surpass Meng Zhong's fight? As long as it can't reach the level of Meng Zhong, it is destined not to be his opponent.

In short, except for him, everyone here is waste!

Thinking of this, Bai Qi said without changing his face: "If Meng Zhong is here, it is still necessary to say who the post of commander of the coalition forces belongs to, but like now, this matter still needs to be discussed?" I recommend myself as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, who is against it? ”

Such unceremonious words made Storm Kite and Han Xu change color slightly, but when Bai Qi's scrutinizing gaze swept towards the two of them, I have to say that both Storm Kite and Han Xu were a little worried in their hearts, and they didn't dare to look at this person.

There is no way, South Korea is weak, this time it almost completely relied on Wei to get Hangu Pass, and the Qin general Bai Qi on the opposite side really doesn't have much confidence, and Zhao State, although Zhao State and Wei State are comparable in size, but Zhao State lacks fierce generals, such as Han Xu, who was defeated by Bai Qi, how can he have any confidence?

However, at this moment, I saw Tang Zhi and said lightly: "I am against it!" ”

"......" Bai Qi's cold gaze suddenly swept towards Tang Zhi.

I have to say that the relationship between Bai Qi and Tang Zhi was actually quite good, after all, these two people attacked Zhao State together back then, defeated Han Xu and Li Ji, and killed all the way to Handan, the capital of Zhao State.

But the more this is the case, at this moment, Tang bluntly spoke out against it, and the more angry Bai Qi became.

He stared at Tang Zhi.

However, Tang Zhi was not afraid.

First of all, Tang Zhi's personality is like this, and secondly, he has Wei behind him, and Wei has Meng Zhong, which is enough to compete with Bai Qi, what is he afraid of?

With Bai Qi's displeased gaze, Tang Zhizheng said: "Before I went to Zhao State, Lord Zhai Zhang sent someone to convey to me the thoughts of Yun Hou, and Yun Hou recommended Le Yi Da Sima of Yan State to be the commander of the coalition army......

Le Yi?

Although Tang Zhi's answer was a bit unexpected, it was also within common sense, and he didn't think that Tang Zhi had the courage and ability to compete with him for the position of commander of the coalition forces.

He turned his head to look at Le Yi and put pressure on the other party with his gaze.

However, what surprised him a little was that Le Yi was not afraid of his direct gaze, and after staring at him for a few breaths, he arched his hand to Tang Zhi and said: "Thank you for the attention of the Marquis of Yun, please convey my gratitude to the Marquis of Yun on behalf ......of Tang Sima Ri" After that, he turned his head and looked at Bai Qi again, and said: "General Bai Qi, the purpose of this expedition of the Five Kingdoms to Qi is to crusade against the cruel and unkind faint monarch of the Qi king's field, and save the civilians of the Qi country who have been oppressed by the faint monarch all the year round, which involves many follow-ups, such as collecting the Qi people and rebuilding after the war, Le Mou thinks that your country will not invest so much energy, for the convenience of the future, I think it is better for Wei, Zhao, Yan, and Han to decide the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. ”

Regarding Qin's participation in the coalition's crusade against Qi, Le Yi and Meng Zhong agreed that neither of them thought that the Qin State would be willing to contribute more in this matter.

In order to be beneficial, Qin and Qi are separated by Wei and Han, even if Qin's army fights Qi hard, there is no way to occupy the land of Qi, since this is the case, what are you doing so hard?

Although Le Yi didn't know Bai Qi's thoughts, he was sure that the Qin State would definitely withdraw from the crusade against the Qi State halfway, leaving a mess for the Central Plains countries, especially the Wei State, to deal with by themselves - after all, this was in itself a ploy for the Qin State to bring disaster to the east.

In this case, how could it be possible to ask Bai Qi to sit in the position of commander of the coalition forces? When Tianxiao gets it, will he help the Qi State in disguise, so that the Central Plains countries will fall into the quagmire of war against the Qi State, so as to create respite time for the Qin State?

Le Yi believes that Meng Zhong asked Tang Zhi, who attended the meeting on his behalf, to recommend him, and it was precisely with this in mind that he was considered.

"Ha, collecting the people of Qi and rebuilding after the war is a nice thing to say, but in the final analysis, it's just a matter of carving up the country of Qi......"

Bai Qi sneered and sneered at Le Yi's cover-up in his words.

Hearing this, Le Yi's face was calm and unmoved.

It is undeniable that his purpose is indeed to destroy the Qi State and carve up the Qi State, and it is nothing to be ridiculed by Bai Qi, anyway, with the current situation, he is destined to get a vote from Wei and Han, plus himself, even if Zhao Guo is on the side of Qin, he can get the position of commander of the coalition forces, not to mention, Zhao State may not support Bai Qi - don't forget, Bai Qi has beaten Zhao State.

Sure enough, in the end, Storm Kite and Han Xu both agreed with Tang Zhi's proposal and supported Le Yi as the commander of the coalition forces.

Seeing this, Bai Qi was furious in his heart.

If it is said that Meng Zhong has taken away the position of commander of his coalition forces, then forget it, in order to achieve his wish for many years, he can also reluctantly become Meng Zhong's deputy general, and then the two of them will join hands to attack the Qi State, so that the Qi people can appreciate the strength of the 'Mengbai Combination', but you Le Yi, what qualifications do you have?!

"Humph!"

With a sneer, Bai Qi left the table angrily, and walked towards the temple door with his sleeves brushed up.

Seeing this, Han Xu exclaimed, "Where is General Bai?" ”

Bai Qi stopped, glanced back at the few people present, and said coldly: "Bai can see that you don't welcome Bai, in this case, what is Bai still staying here for?" ”

Hearing this, Le Yi, Storm Kite, and Tang Zhi couldn't help but glance at each other.

It must be admitted that because Bai Qi represents the Qin State, the three of them do have the intention of uniting against Bai Qi, not that they are dissatisfied with Bai Qi, on the contrary, they are afraid of Bai Qi, and even more afraid of the Qin State behind Bai Qi, for fear of Bai Qi's Dao.

"Wait for a few people to discuss the strategy of cutting Qi, just inform Bai Mou, Bai Mou still has important matters, and he will leave."

With that, Bai Qi walked out of the temple gate mercilessly.

After leaving the Handan Palace, Bai Qi's guards were filled with anger and expressed their anger at Bai Qi's unfair treatment.

"Yun Chengjun is okay, Le Yi? The guy who came out of nowhere actually dared to compete with the national captain for the position of commander of the coalition forces? ”

"Yan Guo? Isn't it the weak country that was destroyed by King Qi Xuan? How dare the big Sima of a weak country do this? ”

The lieutenant was angry...... This is because the Kwantung countries are afraid of the national lieutenant and dare not call the national lieutenant to an important position. ”

The guards scolded the Central Plains countries while comforting Bai Qi, but to their surprise, Bai Qi at this moment seemed to be very calm.

He in turn said to several guards: "Anyway, Meng Zhong is not here, even if he gets the position of commander, it is not interesting. …… I'm just angry that a guy who has no courage or fame is fighting with me. ”

As he spoke, he glanced up at the sky and sighed heartily.

In all fairness, Bai Qi actually doesn't care about losing the position of commander of the coalition forces - leading a group of weak people to fight, even if he becomes the boss, what is there to be happy about?

For Bai Qi, Meng Zhong can't participate in the midterm, so this joint battle is meaningless to him.

The reason why he was angry was simply because Meng Zhong actually recommended Le Yi, not Bai Qi......

Hey, how can you say that you have a friendship with each other for ** years, right?

During this period, they drank and ate together, and they also confronted each other's two armies.

Make it as if he's in vain......

"That bastard thing."

scolded in a low voice, and Bai Qi said with a little indignation: "Let's go, let's drink, regardless of these Kanto people." ”

When the guards heard this, they all agreed.

At this time in Handan Palace, although Bai Qi left angrily, the meeting continued, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious than before.

It is not surprising, after all, Wei and Han Yan are unanimous on the matter of attacking Qi, and Han Xu, the general who presided over this meeting on behalf of Zhao State, himself advocates 'Lianyan to resist Qin', so he has great respect for Le Yi.

After the deliberation of the four of them, the four decided to assemble a coalition army in the area of Handan and Julu in the Zhao State, and then march to the Gaotang and Pingyuan in the southeast, and finally cross the Great River and directly attack the mainland of the Qi State - this route has little deviation from Meng Zhong's previous judgment.

That night, Han Xu visited Le Yi's residence again and discussed the issue of the 'Zhao Yan Alliance' with Le Yi.

For a long time, Le Yi felt that after the fall of the Qi State, the Zhao State would become the biggest threat to the Yan State, but he didn't expect that the development of things would be different from what he expected, and the most direct reason was the loss of power of Fengyang Jun Li Dui and Han Xu's rise.

As Fengyang Jun Li Dui gradually lost power, and Han Xu gradually received the attention of Zhao Wanghe, Zhao's previous strategy of 'Lianqi to resist Qin' was gradually replaced by 'Lianyan to resist Qin'.

Of course, the 'Lianyan against Qin' advocated by Han Xu actually has some meaning of guarding against the 'Wei, Han and Song Alliance'.

At present, in the Central Plains, the Wei, Han and Song Triple Alliance is the most stable, and the Wei State, with the strength of the Han and Song Dynasties, faintly shows signs of restoring the old hegemony over the Central Plains, which has indeed aroused the vigilance of the Zhao State.

You must know that Zhao is not Korea and Song, it is the same size as Wei, since the size is comparable, why must Wei be respected?

Meng Zhong previously judged that in the next few years, Qin would most likely step up its efforts to win over Zhao and Chu, and promote the alliance of Qin, Zhao, and Chu, in order to confront the alliance of Wei, Han, and Song, but obviously Zhao also had its own opinion - the monarchs and ministers of Zhao finally decided to win over Yan as a support, and became the third pole of the two alliances of Qin and Wei.

Regarding Han Xu's proposal, Le Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to accept the kindness offered by Zhao Guo.

It's not that he is willing to help Zhao State become the third pole of the confrontation between the two forces of Qin and Wei, he is just thinking about the interests of Yan State - in order to annex Qi State, he Yan State will need years, more than ten years, or even decades to digest it, if he can maintain good relations with Zhao State during this period, then the one who will benefit the most is naturally Yan State.

With this in mind, he immediately made a solemn promise to Han Xu, saying that he would immediately convey the goodwill of Zhao State to the Yan Wangzhi and do his best to promote the Zhao Yan Alliance.

After receiving Le Yi's affirmative reply, Han Xu was also overjoyed, and immediately said that Zhao Guoguo would try his best to help Yan State crusade against Qi State.

Around October, the armies of Qin, Wei, Han, and Yan continued to march towards Handan and Julu in Zhao, preparing to assemble coalition forces in the two places to jointly crusade against Qi.

During this period, Le Yi was like Li Dui, the original Fengyang Jun, busy working everywhere, presiding over meetings all day and night, and conveying the essentials to the generals sent by various countries to participate in the battle of Vaqi.

Although it was Han Xu, Le Yi, Storm Kite, and Tang Zhi who formulated the strategy at the beginning - they withdrew halfway through Bai Qi - but the generals of various countries who participated in the battle of Varqi were far more than these four people, such as Han Xiao sent by South Korea, Rong Yan sent by Yan State, and Dou Xing, Hua Hu, and Le Jin were also sent by Wei State.

Even the Qin State also sent Wang Yi, Hu Yang, and Yingyi.

Among these people, except for Wang Yi, who is still a little famous, the rest of Hu Yang and Yingyi are as lonely and nameless as Bai Qi back then.

Obviously, the Qin State purely regarded this joint war as a tempering and training for the young generals at home.

And when the five kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Han, Zhao and Yan were intensively preparing for the coalition army, this matter was finally spread by the fine work of Qi to the capital of Qi, Linzi.

I have to say that King Qi Tiandi is a fierce and inward-looking guy, when he learned that the five kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Han, Zhao and Yan were preparing to crusade against the combined army of his Qi State, he immediately panicked and hurriedly summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

However, the ministers of Qi did not know much about this.

Think about it, it was originally Wei, Han, Qi, Zhao, and Yan who attacked Qin, and later Wei and Han and Qin fought to the death in Xihe County, and the other three countries watched the play, but suddenly, Qin actually reconciled with Wei and Han again, and even kicked him out of the ranks of the five countries, and united Wei, Han, Zhao, and Yan to crusade against it in turn......

I have to say, this incident is indeed too dramatic.

During this period, some Qi ministers may visit the king of Qi Tian and say: "Great King, the countries are plotting to crusade against my Great Qi, I am afraid that my Great Qi will attack the Song State and cause ......."

When the king of Qi Tiandi heard this, he was puzzled and said: "When Wei Ran went to Qi back then, he acquiesced to the fact that my Great Qi could capture the Song State......

The courtier almost died of anger when he heard this: "But the king listened to Su Qin's slander and reneged on his agreement with Qin!" …… Su Qin first induced the king to attack the Song State, and then instigated the king to renegade the alliance with the Qin State. ”

After hearing this, the king of Qi summoned Su Qin to the palace and asked: "The widow has followed Mr.'s advice all these years, but now it is rumored that the five kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Han, Qi, and Yan want to jointly crusade against my Great Qi, what is the explanation of Mr.?" ”

"This is a blame for nothing." Su Qin replied: "Many people scolded the emperor for instigating the king to build a palace for the first king, resulting in a deficit in the treasury, but filial piety is the foundation of human virtue, what is wrong? Today, only Qin and Wei are the strongest, why are they strong? It is only because the Qin and Wei countries have been ruthless to expel the wasted people who are not beneficial to the country, and take back the fiefdoms to support the people of the world, but I Daqi, countless nobles only care about selfish interests and ignore the country, it is precisely because these people are unwilling to sacrifice for the country that my Daqi is forced to have no choice but to attack the Song State...... If Su Qin should be killed, then these people can be killed! ”

Hearing this, King Qi Tiandi hesitated in his heart, and asked: "This matter has been put on hold for the time being, and now the five countries want to raise troops to crusade against my Great Qi, and the few people are afraid that the country will not be able to resist, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

Su Qin pretended to think for a moment, and said: "For today's plan, the only way is to recall the military land of the Song Dynasty, and lay heavy defenses in the big river and Jishui to resist the coalition forces of various countries, this is one of them; Second, send envoys to various countries to seek reconciliation with them......"

King Qi Tian thought so.

Half a month later, one of Linzi's orders reached Lüyi of the Song State, in which Tian Da was ordered to immediately withdraw his troops and return to the mainland.

At this time, Tian Tai learned what his little uncle was referring to when he said 'the disaster of the Qi Kingdom'.

Admittedly, that was a catastrophe.
