Chapter 808: Qi State's Reinforcements
In the next seven or eight days, the Wei army launched one attack after another, but failed to capture Qufu.
Either the troops were not enough, or the equipment was suddenly damaged during the siege, and many times the Wei soldiers were still halfway through the charge, so they turned around and fled.
Although the Wei army made a feint every time, the Qi army could not be sure that the Wei army would be like this next time, so the Qi army treated each other solemnly.
Zhuge Ming and Zhou Can didn't dare to take it lightly at this time, they didn't dare to make any mistakes, that would only make them lose their lives.
In the past eight days, Zhuge Ming has continuously released flying horses, but there has been no news, which is not an ordinary blow to him.
As a member of a family, his psychological tolerance is naturally weaker, so at this time he drank alcohol in the room.
It can be said that Zhuge Ming was close to collapse at this time, otherwise he would still be in the mood to drink at this time.
When Zhou Can walked into the room and looked at Zhuge Ming, who was drinking, his chest, which was originally full of joy, suddenly burned with anger.
Brothers who have given up their lives to fight for their lives, and here you are drinking? You deserve to be a general?
Thinking of this, after Zhou Can rushed to Zhuge Ming, he snatched Zhuge Ming's wine glass, and then fell to the ground angrily.
"When is it, you're still thinking about drinking!" Zhou Can scolded angrily, and at this time, he didn't care about the face of Zhuge Ming's family.
But Zhuge Ming was not annoyed at this time, but picked up the wine jug and said: "Sometimes, I really ...... I admire you people, all these days...... You're still so energetic! ”
Zhou Can understood in his heart that the "you" in Zhuge Ming's mouth referred to the generals in the army who were attached to the monarch.
The embarrassment of the family is a concept that the monarch has always instilled in them, and today Zhou Can can be regarded as insightful.
But he didn't come to see Zhuge Ming's jokes, he just listened to him: "General Zhuge , there is a flying horse return today!" ”
At first glance, Zhuge Ming didn't react, and it took a while for him to stand up and ask Zhou Can, "What did you say?" ”
Zhou Can said expressionlessly: "There is a flying horse return, and the king personally led the army to help, and now he has entered the territory of Lu State!" ”
At this moment, Zhuge Ming's wine woke up at once, and his drowsy head became extremely sober.
"The king himself leads the army?" Zhuge Ming exclaimed.
This is indeed surprising, he knew that Linzi would definitely send reinforcements, but he didn't expect that it would be the monarch who asked to call and bring troops here.
Zhou Can nodded, and then said: "This time the king personally leads the troops, the Wei army will be defeated, and our army will win!" ”
Although he was very happy in his heart, Zhuge Ming did not agree with Zhou Can's words.
It is true that Tian Yuwen is the monarch of the country, but this person has never had experience in leading troops, and commanding battles is just a layman, Zhuge Ming thought so.
But the reinforcements finally came, and on the whole, Zhuge Ming's mood was relatively good.
Therefore, at this time, he did not hesitate to echo Zhou Can's two sentences: "Yes, if the king appears on the front line, the morale of the soldiers will be greatly boosted, and the Wei army will be defeated!" ”
Afterwards, the two began to discuss that they should immediately spread the news so that all the soldiers would know that reinforcements were coming and that the king was coming.
Of course, it is also necessary to publicize the people of Lu in the city, on the one hand, to appease the people, and at the same time, there is a sense of deterrence.
In any case, the Lu people in the city must be stabilized, so that Zhuge Ming can let the Lu people continue to serve themselves, carry grain, grass and ordnance, and treat the wounded......
…………
Just when Zhuge Ming and the others were rejoicing at the arrival of reinforcements, the Wei army was also holding a military meeting, but they were very calm about the news.
The news of the arrival of Qi reinforcements was known to them as early as three days ago, and they have been paying close attention to it for the past few days.
Therefore, the generals of the Wei army who are now attending the meeting even know where the Qi army is stationed at this time and how many people there are.
And this military meeting was the beginning of a major change in the Wei army's subordinates, who would turn their guns and focus on the 100,000 Qi troops from which they came.
In fact, for Tian Yuwen to mention the arrival of 100,000 soldiers, Zheng Chang still admired his courage.
The total army of Qi is less than 300,000, and Tian Yuwen dares to directly throw out 100,000 troops, and his courage is not ordinary.
So much so that now, the Wei army is in a weak position in terms of troops.
But Zheng Chang was not worried at all, because he was not fighting alone, the Xiangping camp and the 800,000 troops of the Wei army were waiting for him, and the Qi State was the real weakling.
Looking at the entire Wei State, there are now 180,000 troops attacking the Qi State, and there are still 320,000 troops on standby.
Therefore, even if the soldiers of the Qi State came to attack, the Wei State would be worthy of him.
Standing in the military tent, Zheng Chang quickly conveyed his deployment, and the generals below took the order.
According to Zheng Chang's arrangement, only 20,000 of the 80,000 troops were left to watch the Qi army in the city, and the remaining 60,000 were ready to deal with Tian Yuwen's army.
After his subordinates received the order, Zheng Chang said to everyone: "Everyone, the king's strategy is to lure the enemy deeper, and our army will annihilate the enemy with leisure!" ”
"Now that the people of Qi are here, it's time to see if our teeth are hard or not!"
Looking at the generals below, Zheng Chang continued: "This time it is the Duke of Qi who personally leads the troops, if our army can defeat it in one fell swoop, it will be a great contribution to the great cause of the king, and the benefits will be indispensable to you!"
The generals below are naturally very excited, although the people of Qi are menacing, and there are many people...... But the Wei army was intimidated.
Therefore, a general below said: "If you can capture Qi Gongxian and the prince alive, it will be worth dying!" ”
Of course, this is worth dying, this is the monarch of a great country, and capturing him alive is also a monstrous achievement, which is enough to seal the lintel of his wife and son.
Zheng Chang nodded, of course it would be great if his subordinates could have such thoughts.
Then, Zheng Chang continued: "There is another piece of news, after learning that Duke Qi personally led the troops, Jun Shang also set off from Wu'an a few days ago, and now I am afraid that he has entered Longjiang County!" ”
Longjiang County is between Xiangping County and Lu State, and it is just north of Lu State, and it is relatively close to Xiangping Daying and Zhengchang, so Wei Wuji can be regarded as a pro-expedition.
After hearing the news of the arrival of the king, all the generals present were excited, and this was a good thing for them.
In this way, their military exploits can be directly detected by the monarch, without being conveyed by Zheng Chang's hands.
Sure enough, Chen Yi stood up and said: "The king is personally conquest, this battle will be won, and Great Wei will win!" ”
The slogan represents political correctness, and the generals present are all smart people, and they all shouted the words "Great Wei will win".
It stands to reason that they all sit in the position of general, and then gather like big-headed soldiers to shout slogans and look stupid, but this is essential for Chen Fang and others.
Their position as a general was given by the king, and there were many capable people in the army, so why was it given to them?
It's not because they're good at figuring out their intentions and can keep up with Wei Wuji's pace.
Therefore, shouting slogans is indispensable, not only to oneself, but also to many soldiers in the army.
Suppressing the noisy voices of everyone, Zheng Chang said: "The king said, if the Qi army does not move first, our army must not use the sword soldiers first!" ”
"The entry of the Qi people into Lu is an expedition of laborers, and it is beneficial for us to drag it out, our army can get supplies from Song County and Longjiang, and we can consume it with them!"
Well, the generals were still enthusiastic before, and they were poured cold by Zheng Chang's words.
But this is the meaning of the king, and everyone does not dare to say much, and one by one can only carry out the order.
In fact, Zheng Chang can understand the monarch's mind very well, from the beginning of this war to the present, Wei Wuji has constantly intervened in the process, which only reveals one central idea, that is, "stability".
This is a battle to destroy the country, Wei already has a huge advantage, and there is no need for a very aggressive style of play, as long as it is steadily advanced and displayed, and the latter can be preemptively dismantled.
Zheng Chang then waved his generals away and warned them to be careful and not make mistakes.
This battle was the cornerstone of Zheng Chang's march to the Zhuguo general, but if he and his men messed up, it would also be the disaster of the overthrow of his Zheng family's glory.
