There are many kinds of flags, such as national flags, city flags, military flags, king flags, general flags, etc., and their meanings and functions are very different. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The national flag, that is, the flag with only the national name, such as Wei, is generally used to declare sovereignty, such as Qi County at this moment, and the Shang Shui Army erected the national flag with the word Wei in the highest place in the city, so as to declare the ownership of this area to other forces.

The city flag is a kind of flag that indicates the region, which is generally erected at the four corners of the city, including other conspicuous positions, such as Yanling and Shangshui, and this kind of flag generally follows the city and will not move.

The military flag, as the name suggests, is the number and banner of an army, such as the Chenggao Army, the Dangshan Army, etc., generally there is only one side, which is the soul and cohesion of an army.

Sometimes, especially during wars, this kind of flag also has the function of declaring sovereignty, the most direct manifestation of which is that after the capture of the enemy city, in addition to planting the national flag, the military flag will also be planted, so as to show friendly forces and other forces: this area is now garrisoned or occupied by our army!

Compared with the first three, Wang Qi and Jiang Qi are biased towards individuals, although the names are different, but the essential meaning is the same, to put it simply, it is to show identity. However, only some people with status and status can enjoy this treatment.

For example, Zhao Hongrun's King Su's Wang Banner, and Yanling's General Qu Cheng's Qu Character General Banner.

This kind of flag, under normal circumstances, is not used to assert sovereignty to other powers, and its existence only tells others who the owner of the flag is.

For example, the Wang Banner with the words "King Wei" and "King Su" erected in Qi County at this moment, its owner is Zhao Hongrun, that's all.

But then again, the presence of such flags somewhere, sometimes carries a special meaning.

For example, deterrence and warning.

Of course, if the owner of the flag is prestigious enough, others will buy it.

No, right now, under the city of Qi County, Tian Tan, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, looked at the royal banner with the words "Wei and King Su", and fell silent for a long time.

He guessed that Ji Run, the king of Wei, was probably not in the Qi county city in front of him at the moment, otherwise, when he called out to invite the person in charge of the city to come out, it would not be Wu Ji, the chief general of the Shangshui army, who showed up.

Moreover, in his conversation with Wu Ji, the chief general of the Shangshui Army, he could also faintly confirm that Ji Run, the king of Wei, was not in the city, but most likely in Gongxian County.

But the problem is that although Ji Run is not in Qi County, his Wang Qi is in Qi County, but in the hands of the Shang Shui Army.

Does this mean that the Shang Shui Army's attack on Qi County was tacitly approved or even authorized by the King of Su?

Yes, Ji Run plans to recover the Nanmen clan and other nobles in Qi County......

Tian Tan secretly confirmed his guess.

I have to say that in the face of this kind of thing, he also feels a little embarrassed.

In Tian Tan's opinion, if Ji Run was in the city at the moment, and asked him to wait outside the city for a while like Wu Ji, then he could listen and give the former a face, after all, the former's status is noble, and he is also a great achievement.

However, what is coming forward now is just Wu Ji, the main general of the Shang Shui Army, plus a Wang Qi of Ji Run, if this alone makes Tian Tan obediently obey, where is his Tian Tan's face? Where is the face of the Eastern Route Army? Where is the face of Qi State?

But having said that, Tian Tan didn't dare to forcibly attack Qi County as his subordinate generals said.

First of all, Qi County was already in the pocket of one of the Wei army, the Shang Shui Army, and the Wei army was their friendly army, during the attack on the Chu State, the two friendly armies killed each other, what a stupid act?

Secondly, the Wang Qi is usually held by the personal guards, such as the personal guards next to Ji Run, Su Wangwei, but now it appears in the hands of the Shang Shui Army, in Tian Tan's view, this is clearly a message conveyed to him by Ji Run: sell the king a face.

If he were someone else, maybe Tian Tan would really turn his face, after all, this man who could torture and kill the nobles of Chu State, how could he be a person without temper?

But if the object is that Ji Run, Tian Tan really has some scruples.

Because as far as he knows, Ji Runnai is the son (prince) who is in power in Wei, although he is not a son-in-law, but he has a very large voice in Wei, and offending him may directly affect the diplomatic relations between Wei and Qi.

Taking a step back, even if it does not affect the diplomatic relations between Wei and Qi, it will inevitably affect this great war between the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Wei, because Ji Run is the commander of the Western Route Army and his status is equivalent to him.

And when Tian Tan was thinking about the benefits, the generals of the Qi State behind him scolded the city head with anger on their faces, for no other reason, but the Shangshui Army Wu Ji just looked at this banner and dared to say that he wanted to attack my Shangshui Army?! utterly infuriated them.

In the eyes of the generals of Zhu Qi, Wu Ji on the city tower is clearly a fox and a fake tiger, just because he has the royal flag of Ji Run, the king of Wei Guosu, in his hand.

However, having said that, they did not dare to lead the army to attack Qi County as they said.

However, they used their actions to express their strong dissatisfaction in their hearts - scolding at the city tower.

The ugly words of that sentence reached the ears of the Shangshui soldiers on the city tower, and the three thousand generals Xu Jiong took the lead in holding it back, and also scolded and fought back, and then, two thousand generals, thousands of generals, five hundred generals, and even ordinary soldiers on the city tower were like boiling water, pointing at the East Route Army under the city and scolding as a counterattack.

Now it's good, the entire Qi County East City Gate area is completely chaotic, the Shangshui Army on the city tower, and the East Route Army under the city, thousands of soldiers and soldiers have joined this scolding battle, the chaotic scene, frightened the south gate on the city tower Chi's face pale.

"General Wu, this ...... This...... Why don't you stop it? ”

Nanmen Chi whispered to Wu Ji that he was afraid that the mutual scolding of the two armies would anger Tian Tan and make this butcher, who was hated by countless Chu people, desperately attack Qi County.

"Why stop it?"

When Wu Ji heard this, he asked Nanmen Chi and said, "It was they who insulted first!" ”

I have to say that although Wu Ji is honest, honesty is not the same as cowardice.

In his opinion, even if the army under the city is a friendly army, but the other party opens his mouth to insult his merchant army, then his merchant army naturally wants to scold back, is it silent?

Is it easy to bully when I am a merchant and a sailor?!

"Humph!" Wu Ji snorted coldly, stood on the city tower with his arms crossed, and looked at the Qi army under the city, as if he acquiesced to the behavior of the Shangshui soldiers and generals under his command to scold the Qi army.

Seeing this, Nanmen Chi secretly complained bitterly, and hurriedly persuaded him: "General Wu, more things are better than less, why do you need to anger Na Tian Tan?" In such a hurry, he ordered the siege of the city......"

"He dares!" Wu Ji glanced at Nanmen Chi, and then said coldly: "If the Qi army under the city dares to show the slightest hostility, our merchant army will list it as an enemy!" …… You're afraid of Tian Tan, I'm not afraid! ”

As he spoke, a great momentum faintly appeared on Wu Ji's body, which made Nanmen Chi feel a lot of pressure.

Nanmen Chi realized that no matter how young General Wu was in front of him, he was also the chief general of the entire merchant and water army, and he was the master of the first army!

In desperation, Nanmen Chi only sighed.

may have guessed Nanmen Chi's thoughts, Wu Ji comforted him and said: "Don't worry, General Nanmen, since your Nanmen clan has returned to His Royal Highness King Shunsu and submitted to my Great Wei, then my merchant army will naturally protect the safety of you and others." …… Whether it's Tian Tan or Li Tan, they can't hurt you! ”

......Hearing this, Nanmen couldn't help but be moved, and nodded silently.

At this time, Tian Tan had already recovered from his thoughts, and saw that the two armies above and below the city would scold each other, and he was really a little annoyed in his heart.

"Enough! Shut up! He shouted angrily.

However, no matter how loud his shouts were, how could they be worth the thousands of soldiers of the two armies.

After a lot of tossing, the Qi army under the city stopped scolding one after another.

Seeing this, Wu Ji on the tower of the city also ordered his generals to shut down, and the two sides returned to the previous stage of silent confrontation.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, Tian Tan shouted at the city tower: "General Wu, I don't know how long your army wants my Eastern Route Army to wait outside the city?" …… You must know that our Eastern Route Army must prepare to attack Fuli as soon as possible, if the fighter plane is delayed, who should bear this responsibility? ”

Threaten me?

Wu Ji on the city tower frowned when he heard this, and then said lightly: "General Tian don't worry, my merchant army has already conquered Qi County for your army, and I will win three days for your army......"

Hearing this, Tian Tan snorted coldly: "Hmph! Tian Mou hit Qi County, it doesn't take three days at all! ”

"And how long will it take you?"

"Half a day is enough!"

"Hah! …… Anyone will say it! ”

"......" Tian Tan's eyes became a little colder when he heard this, and he said coldly: "Do you want Tian Tan to confirm it and show it to General Wu?" ”

"Okay. …… How can General Tian confirm this? Wu Ji said calmly.

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the generals of the Shangshui army in the city quickly entered the stage of preparing for battle, as if they had regarded the Qi army under the city as an enemy army.

Seeing this scene, Tian Tan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that Wu Ji on the other side was so tough, regardless of his prestige Tian Tan, should he be said to be worthy of being the beloved general under the command of King Su of the Wei State?

At this moment, the atmosphere between the two armies above and below the city became particularly dull, as if war could start at any time.

After a stalemate for a long time, Tian Tan laughed out loud, and then looked at Wu Ji on the city tower, and said in a deep voice: "It is very rare in this world to make Tian Mou's heart feel hot, Wu Ji, Tian remembers you!" …… Tian is waiting under the city, I want to see how long you want to tell our army to wait under the city! ”

Hearing this, Wu Ji sneered, and then said expressionlessly: "With this idle time, General Tian might as well wave his army south to fight Ji Cong by the Hun River." …… This will be defeated by our army, and after being expelled from Qi County, it is now stationed by the Huhe River. Speaking of this, he paused, and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Qi County, our merchant army has been defeated for your army, and in the follow-up, your army will not also ask our army to do it for you, right?" ”

Damn! My Eastern Route Army needs you to fight Qi County on your behalf?

The anger in Tian Tan's heart surged upward.

However, he had to calm down, after all, the atmosphere between the two armies was already extremely tense at the moment, and if he made any more irrational moves, it was really possible to turn into a fratricidal situation.

"Humph! Walk! ”

After taking a deep look at Wu Ji on the city tower, Tian Tan moved his horse and waved his hand to order: "The whole army ...... To the south! ”

Pity the Chu general Ji Cong, who was stationed on the south side of the Huhe River, who had just been defeated and expelled from Qi County by the Shang Water Army, and would become the object of Tian Tan and his Eastern Route Army to vent their anger. (To be continued.) )
