On March 25, the tenth year of the Marquis of Wei, this was the third day of the Wei army's arrival in Qufu.

In these three days, the Wei army completed the encirclement of Qufu City, and at the same time, they also pulled out all the hidden piles of the Qi army outside the city.

But for the Wei generals, this style of play was difficult for them to accept, and it could be used to attack the city in three days.

Outside Qufu City, inside Zheng Changshuai's tent, the generals were seated together, but the atmosphere was not so harmonious.

"General, now that the siege has been three days, why is our army holding back?" A general stood in the center of the big tent, very dissatisfied with Zheng Changdao on the main seat.

was questioned by his subordinates like this, but Zheng Chang couldn't get angry, he couldn't even scold his subordinates roughly, otherwise it would prove that he was afraid of war.

Therefore, after listening to the speeches of his subordinates, Zheng Chang said: "The king has a word, the siege of the city is the bottom, and the attack of the heart is the bottom...... Now that the Qi army has been surrounded by my 80,000 troops in the city, they are already winged and unable to escape, what are you anxious about? ”

But this general is not so easy to dismiss, only listen to him and say: "Don't forget, the general asked me to send troops here in order to expel the Qi people, do we just carry out the king's will and let the Qi people nest comfortably in the city?" ”

Zheng Chang used Wei Wuji to suppress his generals, but these people could also be suppressed by the monarch.

was repeatedly confronted by his subordinates, even if Zheng Chang's temperament was much more restrained, he felt angry at this time.

Just as he was about to reprimand his subordinates, the man in black who had been standing behind him stepped forward and stopped his anger after signaling Zheng Chang with his eyes.

Immediately, the man in black said loudly: "Generals, listen to me!" ”

After the man in black stood up, the generals present all looked at him, but their eyes were very unkind.

Yes, this is a military meeting that only generals are qualified to attend, why is the man in black here, and what qualifications does he have to speak.

Therefore, a general immediately stood up and said: "Who are you, I will participate in military affairs, how can you speak?" ”

Not to mention, although the man in black has appeared in the army for two days, the generals still don't know his specific identity at this time.

was questioned by the generals, but the man in black was not stunned, only to see him arch his hand and say: "Generals, Zhang Qun, the captain of the Xiafeng Shadow Division!" ”

Who Zhang Qun is, others don't know, but Zheng Chang knows very well.

When the monarch was trapped in the Qi State, Zhang Qun was the monarch's confidant and bodyguard, protecting the monarch in the most difficult time.

Zhang Qun sat in the position of the captain of the Wind Shadow Division, not only trusted by the monarch, but also came with an edict in hand, so he was naturally not afraid of all the generals present.

After introducing himself, Zhang Qun continued: "Generals, don't be impatient, sometimes the siege doesn't have to start from the outside, maybe someone will open the city gate to welcome our army into the city?" ”

Originally, the generals were hostile to Zhang Qun, but when he claimed to be the captain of the Wind Shadow Division, they honestly kept their mouths shut.

After all, the status of the captain of the Wind Shadow Division was no lower than that of these generals.

Moreover, listening to what you Zhang Qun meant, there was an internal response in Qufu City, which they didn't expect at all.

So a general asked: "Captain Zhang, now that the siege has been three days, why hasn't Neiying launched it?" ”

The generals are not so easy to dismiss, because no one can snatch military merit from their mouths, and neither can the Wind Shadow Division.

They can maintain enough courtesy to Zhang Qun, but what they should fight for still has to be fought for.

As a general, it is absolutely impossible to say that it is wrong to ask for war and siege the city, even if the lawsuit goes to the king, they are not afraid.

Zhang Qun was not annoyed, as the main figure in the Wind Shadow Division, he could understand the thoughts of the generals present.

The monarch has been in charge of Wei for ten years, and the generals who have been promoted in the past ten years have a stronger warlike mind than in any previous period, which was deliberately guided by the monarch.

Therefore, Zhang Qun had to continue to explain: "The general doesn't need to be in a hurry, maybe today and tomorrow, there will be big changes in Qufu City!" ”

Zhang Qun said this, and Zheng Chang also continued: "Everyone, this is not only the plan between Ben Jiang and Zhang Xiaowei, but also the will of the king, you don't have to say much!" ”

"Each of you does his own thing, the battle is yours, and it is a big battle...... Take a long-term view, our enemy is not the 20,000 Qi army in Qufu City, but the entire Qi country! ”

Zheng Chang's words caused the generals to think deeply, and at this time, they did not ask as tightly as Fang Cai.

There are two reasons for them to shut up.

On the one hand, if this is the king's arrangement, then they can no longer put their beaks in their beaks. Loyalty to the monarch is the foundation of their lives, and no one wants to destroy themselves.

On the other hand, listening to the meaning of Zheng Chang's words, this time he will not only expel the Qi army in the territory of the Lu State, but also the entire Qi State.

Everyone present still remembered the great battle against the Qin State six years ago, in which many people were promoted, so Zheng Chang's words made the generals see the light of day.

For them, a large number of military exploits against the Qi State are beckoning to them, so why rush for a while, and evil the generals who declare military merits for them!

Seeing that his subordinates no longer spoke, Zheng Chang continued: "This time, the king has a big plan, and I hope you will obey the command and don't miss the king's big things!" ”

Whoever says more will ruin the monarch's plan, Zheng Chang's hat is not small, and he really made the generals not object.

Then, the military meeting ended, and Zheng Chang reached his own, pacifying the warlike generals.

Sitting in the handsome seat, Zheng Chang couldn't help sighing: "I'm old, I'm old, it's the world of young people now!" ”

Zheng Chang is close to fifty, which is definitely old in this era, but he has a smile on his face at this time.

Ten years ago, Zheng Chang never thought that he would be where he is today.

At that time, he was still sitting on a cold bench, leading Xiguan just to guard against the Qin people. And today, under the suppression of Wei for ten consecutive years, the Qin State has completely decayed, and there is no threat to the Wei State.

And he, Zheng Chang, led his troops to attack the princes, and the Tang and Zheng countries, which had been inherited for more than a hundred years, were destroyed in his hands.

Now, he actually wants to lead troops to attack the Qi country, and now Zheng Chang feels a little stunned when he thinks about it, is this really himself?

The title has been crowned, and the position has been seated as a general, so it stands to reason that Zheng Chang has no regrets. If anything, it is to become a general of the Pillar State before he dies old.

And now, on the occasion of this attack on the Qi State, Zheng Chang saw the hope of being promoted to the Zhu State.

Hearing Zheng Chang's emotion, Zhang Qun said with a smile: "How can the general speak old, the king said before I came, he still has to rely on you, general!" ”

Good words are always pleasing to people, and Zheng Chang is no exception, so he smiled and said: "Serving the king is the blessing of the general!" ”

After the two of them chatted for a while, Zheng Chang asked: "Captain Zhang, you said that there is an internal response in Qufu City, will they really take action in the past two days?" ”

Zhang Qun said: "Of course, those who know the times are Junjie, and those who have insight can understand that following Qi Guo is self-defeating!" ”

Zheng Chang said: "The national strength of Qi is much worse than that of my Great Wei, and Lu Guo must not be the only one who can see Ji Yi clearly, but it's a pity that Ji Yi is dead!" ”

Zhang Qun laughed, and then said: "Ji Yi is dead, but his original supporters are still there, these people are enough for the Qi army to suffer a big loss!" ”

"Moreover, I also sent people to spread the news into the city, and sent news to the major clans, telling them that our army will be killed after entering the city, and if they help our army enter the city, they can keep their wealth and status!" Zhang Qun was quite complacent.

Zheng Chang couldn't help smacking his tongue in his heart, the people of the Dark Dao Wind Shadow Division were really vicious, and all the means of coercion and temptation were used.

Zheng Chang knew in his heart that Zhang Qun was not joking when he said this, if the Qufu clan was uneasy about what he said, he would definitely be killed by the whole family.

But Zheng Chang still had a smile on his face at this time, and said to Zhang Qun: "So, they don't have a choice!" ”

Zhang Qun couldn't help laughing, if Qufu was really taken down like this, then he Zhang Qun would be a great achievement, and maybe he would be able to be promoted to a higher level.

Therefore, Zhang Qun was also praying in his heart at this time that the clans in Qufu City could give strength.
