Chapter 2 Wind and Snow
Zou Lu's last sentence shocked the doctors' spirits, auspiciousness can be made, and the country of Qi is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there is so much water that it is difficult to compare with the kingdom of the world. However, thinking of this, the eyes of the doctors changed again, and they looked at each other a little vigilantly.
Qi State, like Chu State, power is not concentrated in the hands of one person, the so-called three monks have no water to drink, such a power structure is extremely unsuitable for expansion, only suitable for keeping. If Qi wants to unify the world, the first thing to solve is the problem of centralization, otherwise internal disputes will be enough to lead to the failure of unification. Everyone looks at each other, and they all have the intention of distinguishing between friend and foe, which city to ally with and which city to fight with, this is the first question of dominating the world.
"Report!" The urgent sound of military reports echoed in the Linzi Dasima Mansion, but the flying officer was not reporting the enemy's situation. "McHill Eup."
"McChue?" Tian Zong and Mu Chong's eyes immediately looked at the map, Maiqiu was in the northwest of Linzi, and this location was about two hundred miles away from Linzi. After reading the map, Mu Chong turned his head to look at the flying officer: "When will it be cut off?" ”
"At this time." Such a cold Tianfei officer's forehead was covered with sweat. The Chu people also took the codebook with them, but Maxis could be used. In the past few days, the flight to the north has been interrupted one after another, first the fifth station to Rao'an, then the second station, and now the sixth station to Maiqiu, which has never happened.
"Stand down." Tian Zong coughed a few times and said. "Qin people?" He asked Xiang Mou.
"Or the Qin people." Mu Chong couldn't be sure if it was because of the weather or because of the Qin people.
"Our army is all in Jixi." Tian Zong sighed. Previously, Wang Jian led 300,000 Qin troops to press the border, except for Jimo, all the soldiers of Gaotang and Linzi were transferred to Jixi Hubyi, if the Qin army attacked in a big way at this time, Linzi may not be guaranteed.
Tian Zong was worried that the Qi army was all in Jixi, and Mu Chong was no longer worried. "At this time, the army is returning to Linzi, if you meet the Qin army......"
"Huh?!" Tian Zong's expression changed immediately, "When will the army return to the capital?" How did I not know? ”
"After the Wax Sacrifice." Mu Chongdao. "Yesterday the army has passed Pingling, and tomorrow it will be to the tomb."
Tian Zong was old, and he was constantly sick, and he didn't participate in the court for a few days. Moreover, the State of Qi did not establish a mobilization and command system like the State of Chu, although the names of the two Great Sima Mansions were the same. The Great Sima Mansion of Qi is just an enlarged shogunate, and the mobilization of the troops of each Yi does not have to obey the orders of the Great Sima Mansion, but only the orders of the doctors of the provinces.
Wang Jian led his troops to the west, which was seen by many scouts of the Qi army, and while celebrating with the doctor, he was also planning to remove the soldiers stationed in Jixi. The current soldiers are not as good as the previous soldiers, the former soldiers brought their own food and prepared their own armor to fight, and the current soldiers and soldiers are all provided by the state and fiefdoms.
It was determined that Wang Qian's 300,000-strong army had gone west, and Li Xin attacked the city of Chu again, and as soon as the doctors were combined, the army withdrew. Otherwise, 'the cost of inside and outside, the use of guests, the material of glue paint, the dedication of car armor, and the daily cost'. Sun Tzu said in the book that the actual daily cost of 100,000 troops will not exceed 100 gold, but 100 gold is also money, and when Wang Jian retreated to Puyang, the army retreated eastward.
At this time, the 150,000 troops belonging to Linzi were on the way back. Pingling is in the west of Zhangqiu, Yuling is in Zouping, and there are still 100 miles from Yuling to Linzi. Mu Chong mentioned this incident not because he was glad that the army was about to return to Linzi, but because he was worried that the 150,000 army would encounter the Qin army attacking from the north. If you want to destroy the Qi State, the best way is the method of the King of Chu five years ago - skip the other cities and attack Linzi directly. Linzi will die, and the Qi State will also die.
"Quickly order the army to return to Linzi in a hurry, there must be no mistake!" Tian Zong suppressed his cough and ordered.
"Not yet." Mou Chong spoke out against it. "Fifty miles of profit, you will jump to the general. At this time, not only should he not be able to return to Linzi quickly, but he should also be ordered to travel no more than 30 miles a day, and the camp must be based on the city. ”
"No!" Mu Chong meant to keep the army, but Tian Zong didn't plan to do so. "Someone! Summoned to the general, the Qin people are afraid that they will come from the north, and our army will arrive in Linzi in two days. ”
Tian Zong called someone directly. At this time, there were almost no soldiers in Linzi City, and there were soldiers, and most of them were old and weak. The soldiers in the nearby cities were basically empty, even if the Qin people could not attack Linzi for a long time, they would not be able to get reinforcements in a short time. Only half of the 150,000 troops returned, which was enough for Linzi to wait for reinforcements from Jimo and Chu.
Tian Zong is the Great Sima, and Mu Chong is the military advisor. Just as the great general Tian Luo may not be able to carry out the orders of the Great Sima Mansion, Tian Zong may not listen to the opinions of the military advisors. What can be hoped for is that the Qin army has not gone south at all, and the Qin State is attacking the Chu State with all its might. The news also said that in the past few days, the wind and snow in the northern Zhuyi have been raging, and the flying pole is likely to be blown off by the strong wind.
Mu Chong thought about it like this, the prosperous Linzi City, and the Tan City, which was more than 130 miles to the west, were all snowing heavily. Due to this heavy snowfall, Linzi's Xunwen had to be transmitted by Xun Cai, and Tian Luo, the general who led the return of the army, could only temporarily live in Tancheng.
Tan Cheng is Tan Guo. Long before the State of Qi was sealed in Yingqiu, Tan State, Bo Gu, Xian, Xiong, Ying, more than seventeen Dongyi Fang States were in the land of Qilu. The Zhou people acted on behalf of the merchants, and they wanted to control the Yin people and the Yi people. King Wu first comfortingly sealed the remnants of Yin Shang to Wu Geng, the crown prince of Zhou, but then sealed his younger brother Shu Xian in Guan, Shu Du in Du, and Shu in Huo, in order to monitor Wu Geng, known as the three eunuchs.
In order to monitor the Yi people in the land of Qilu, Feng Shu Zhenduo was in Cao (now Heze area), Feng Shuwu Yucheng (now Dongping area), Feng Jiang Taigong was in Yingqiu (Linzi), and his younger brother Zhou Gong was in the old capital of Yin (now Qufu), Zhou Gong was in the court, and he could only order his son Bo Yu to Qufu to be sealed. Qufu is the center of the Zhou people in the East, which is the reason why the status of the Lu State was higher than that of other princes from the beginning, and it is also the reason why the Lu State implemented the Zhou rites from the beginning.
In the rebellion of the three prisons, Tan Guo also participated in it, and the Zhou people severely punished the first evil Bo Gu and Xian Guo, and Tan Guo survived, but the price of survival was to build Zhou Dao (or it is possible that he was cultivating Zhou Dao before). In the poem "Dadong", "Xiaodong Dadong, Yuzu is empty." Entangled and entangled, you can walk in the frost', 'The son of the easterners, he can't work. The son of the Westerners, the clothes of the Tan State', is the lament of the nobles of the Tan State, and the Zhou Road of 'its straight as an arrow' passed through the Tan State and was built by the Tan State.
Like Zhao, there was also a pro-Chinese side before the Spring and Autumn Period, as well as a pro-Dongyi and Laiyi side. The battle between the two sides was not settled until the time of Qi Henggong, and the Tan State who cultivated Zhou Dao was destroyed at the hands of Qi Henggong.
Tian Luo, the great general trapped in Tan City, naturally had no time to take care of the long history of the city under his feet, he was thinking about how long the Qin-Chu War would last, and how much strength would be left on the victorious side? When did Qi intervene to help the weaker side?
In the Spring and Autumn Period, only the Son of Heaven dared to be the king, and the king was already a rotten street during the Warring States Period, and only the Qi State and the Qin State were called emperors. For the Qi people, this is a kind of pride, and this pride can make the Qi people prefer to follow the East China Sea and not Emperor Qin. But this is only a scholar, but the common people are not proud of it, and the common people who are not proud of the Qi country will not really fight to the death.
At this point, Tian Luo had to admire the Chu people, and there were more people in the Chu State who were willing to die for the Chu State than the Qi State. Fortunately, the Qin State attacked the Chu State, and only the Chu State could stop the tidal and never-ending Qin army. When the two countries decide to win or lose, the Chu people will die.
The shogunate Uchida Luoan sat down, thinking about the war between Qin and Chu, and when it was about to be dusk, the news of the Linzi Great Sima Mansion was sent by the order. The knight was cold, his face was white, Tian Luo didn't let him go down, he could only stand in the tent and be ordered.
"The Qin people want to attack me?!" Tian Luo, who read the news, was all surprised, and it was very clear in the news, he still asked.
"General, the confidential matters of the Great Sima Yan are all under interrogation. Please return to Linzi as soon as possible to defend the capital. The knight said.
"But the Qin army is attacking the Chu State!" Tian Luo shook the Xunwen in his hand, his face full of excitement. "Wang Qian's army retreated to Puyang and went west day and night, this is obviously attacking Chu, why do you want to attack me?"
As soon as Tian Luo was excited, his voice was very loud, and all the generals and strategists in the shogunate heard the voice. The knight was frightened and said, "The villain doesn't know. When the big Sima gave the villain this news, he told the villain: 'The confidential matters are all in the news, please return to Linzi as soon as possible to defend the national capital.' The rest of the villains didn't know. The villain ran for a hundred and thirty miles, just begging the general to see the news quickly. ”
"Stand down." Tian Luo was also excited, with the current situation of the Qi army, he was very reluctant to hear the news of the Qin people's attack. As soon as he said to retreat, the knight saluted and was about to turn around, not wanting to shake his body and fall down. Heavy snow could not be communicated, so it had to rely on horses. After running for more than a hundred miles and the panic just now, the knight, who was completely relieved, fainted.
"What's the news in Linzi?" The knight was carried down, and Shi Yi hurried up. The Battle of Linzi under his command was defeated, but Tian Jian pardoned him and did not punish him. When he heard the words 'return to Linzi quickly to defend the country', he was worried.
"Linzi Da Sima Mansion said, the Qin people may attack me from the north." Tian Luo handed over the news in his hand to Shi Yi.
"The Qin people are attacking me from the north?!" Shi Yi was reading the news article, and the rest of the generals were shocked when they heard the words. Tian Luo's heart was high and he laughed, and he said, "This is a big mistake! The herald ordered the knight to faint after running for a hundred and thirty miles in the wind and snow. The Qin people are also people, from Zhao to Linzi four or five hundred miles, before half of Linzi Qin people will be lost. ”
"Chu Zhiying is more than 1,000 miles to Linzi, but how could he have thought that the Chu people would cross the sea to Linzi?" In the end, it is the general of the defeated army, Shi Yi, who read the news article, was not the slightest surprised. "The subordinates think that if the Qin people attack me, they will be like the Chu people, and the army will take Linzi directly."
"With such a wind and snow, how can the Qin people go to Linzi?" Gao Chai asked rhetorically. "General Shi ......"
"Please allow our army to return to Linzi as soon as possible." Shi Yi led an army with halberds, and this army only had 30,000 people left after the Battle of Linzi five years ago, but these 30,000 people were the 30,000 people with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Qi army.
"No!" Gao Chai immediately turned his face. "If the Qin people really attack me in the north, the army with halberds cannot go first."
"The subordinate is the minister of the king." Shi Yi shouted. "Linzi is in danger, how can the subordinates not return? Please allow the General! ”
