No matter how the Qi State concealed it, Ji Xu's death brought not only the rising scolding against the Qi State, but also the rebuke of the princes of various countries. Among them, Qin and Wei are the hardest-working. On the contrary, Zhao Guo, who was separated by a river, was silent.

In the battle of attacking Yan, it took only a few months for the Qi State to go from righteous and awe-inspiring to the rats crossing the street. When they arrived, the people of Yan used to eat pot pulp to welcome them, and now, everyone is eager to eat their flesh and sleep their skin, and Kuang Zhang, the general, has suffered even more infamy.

Seeing that the situation was out of control and it was too late to deal with Kuang Zhang's mishandling, Tian Bibi decided to adopt strong measures to suppress people. After Zizhi and the others traveled a long way and arrived in Linzi, Tian Bibi did not let him live for a few days, so he announced that he and Lu Maoshou and several other comrades were sentenced to death, and Zizhi was sentenced to death.

The so-called 醣 is meat sauce, which is in the meals of the ancients, especially in the meals of the nobles, and is generally made of rabbit meat. Punishment is to chop the prisoner into meat sauce. Tian Bibi not only showed the seven big tripods moved from the Yan State in front of the Ming Hall of the Qi State, but also chopped the Zizhi into meat sauce in front of all the ministers. In order to show his outstanding merits and deterrence to the Yan Kingdom.

However, he still underestimated the people of Yan and the heroes of Yan Kingdom. After Zizhi was killed, the anger of the Yan people and the Qi people reached a peak, and even many places have openly opposed the Qi people, and the pressure on the Qi army in the Yan State is increasing. At the same time, the city quilt and others stationed in Xiadu are getting stronger and stronger, and many Yan people have joined the team of the city quilt because they hate the people of Qi, and the city quilt is happy that the team is getting bigger and bigger, but also worried about the shortage of food. He knew that someone would definitely help him, but he hadn't waited for an answer yet.

Finally, when the glacier was just beginning to thaw, a man came.

When the city was shocked to see this man. Because this person is too young, that is, the age of the weak crown, although his face is square, his manners are polite, and he seems to have some knowledge. But entrusting such an important matter to this person is probably too child's play! The city's face darkened, and he thought, is there something wrong?

When the man saw the city being entered into the main hall, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, thinking that the city quilt would be very happy, but he didn't expect that he just answered coldly, and walked to the upper seat, and never gave him a seat. The young man groaned in his heart, and muttered in his heart.

The city was seated at the top, and he did not look at him, nor did he give up his seat. Seeing this posture, the young man knew that it was impossible for the other party to speak first, so he could only suppress the shelf and said first: "Xiao Chen Yu Xin, on the order of the king of my family, came to discuss with the general about sending troops to Yan Kingdom. With that, he raised his head and looked at the city quilt.

The city quilt took a sip of wine unhurriedly, did not speak, and did not look at him. Yu Xin had no choice but to continue: "The meaning of the king of my family is naturally to hope that the general can last for five or six days, and my Zhao army is about to set off from Handan and escort Gongzi to Yan Kingdom." ”

"What's your name?" Ichioki asked suddenly.

Yu Xin was stunned for a moment, so he had to salute again: "Junior minister Yu Xin." ”

"Are you a son of a weak crown, and you are also worthy of being a minister?"

"You!" Yu Xin looked at the city quilt angrily, and the latter glared at him fearlessly, his eyes full of banter. Only then did Yu Xin remember what he was talking about. also suppressed his anger: "The kid is the envoy of the king of Zhao, and he specially contacted the prince to enter Yan. If the general doesn't believe it, it is feasible to write Handan and check the truth and falsehood. ”

Ichizu shook his head, "Whether it's true or not, I don't care." When did Childe enter the city? how many soldiers Zhao was prepared to send to escort it; How much grain and grass to bring is what the general cares about. ”

"Gongzi will set out from Handan in two days, bringing 150,000 stones, grain and grass, and about 15,000 soldiers of Zhao State, to join the general's camp in the name of escorting Gongzi back to China. When the time comes, please ...... general"

Before Yu Xin finished speaking, the city that had long been furious was suddenly pushed several cases to the ground, pointing at Yu Xin and scolding: "A certain person has been holding on to this place for nearly two years, but what he is waiting for is only the help of more than 15,000 people in Zhao State, and more than 100,000 stones of grain and grass. Now the number of my army is about 40,000, and your hundreds of thousands of stone grain and grass are enough for me to eat so many soldiers for a few days! ”

Yu Xin was taken aback, before he came, he also learned about this person through Le Yi's side, and it was said that he was gentle and elegant. But when I saw it today, I was so unreasonable and pointed fingers at myself. Could it be that Le Yi lied to him?

He gritted his teeth and pursed his lips in response: "Recently, there has been a new movement in the Qin State, and the Zhao State naturally can't attack with all its strength for its own safety. What's more, with the distance between Yan and Zhao, and Zhongshan on the side, if you want to transport so much grain and grass at one time, no matter who it is, I'm afraid everyone will be tempted. It was the king who promised that once this matter was settled, Zhao Guo would send additional aid. ”

"Additional help, huh." Shi was sneered, "I'm afraid this additional aid will not be available until the Yan Kingdom recovers." In this way, if the last general dies on the battlefield as soon as possible, I am afraid that this additional aid will disappear completely. ”

"The general laughed, Zhao is not the kind of state that has no promise."

Since it is not untrustworthy, please also ask Mr. to return to Handan as soon as possible, and ask Zhao Guojia to send manpower and grain and grass again to relieve the siege of the capital. If not," the city was tightened in his eyes, looked at Yu Xin, and said solemnly: "The last general will consider asking Zhongshan or other princes for help." ”

"It's a threat." Yu Xin looked coldly, looked at the city's aggressive appearance, and said.

"No, it's just a fact." The city was said, "This is a response, not a threat. You may not know that the army of Qi is about to be drawn here at this moment, he has a huge number of 100,000, and I, 40,000 or 50,000 people, want to defend the lower capital, how easy it is to say. What's more, the grain and grass are getting scarcer and less, and some soldiers have already eaten the last meal and have not eaten the next meal, so they can't help. When the Qi State besieged the lower capital, how could these people hold the city? ”

"There are priorities and priorities. What is the most important thing for you at this moment, the general? ”

"Nature is food and grass. If there is no grain and grass, there can be no morale, let alone combat. The city was said without any scruples.

"Grain and grass certainly affect the morale of the army, but the capital is so strong, the general has led 10,000 people to garrison for two years, but it is overcrowded at the moment. Whether these people are capable or not, and do not say much, but their hearts are not one. What the general is facing at this moment is a group of stragglers without unified command. The morale of these people depends on training and obedience, and only then can they talk about food and grass. If these people are not strong-willed, why should they be needed? Drive out of the city and save food! Yu Xin shook his head.

"That's the army."

Yu Xin shook his head again. "Most of the general's troops have been stationed here for two years with the general, and they know each other well. Combined with the people who have recently joined the country, the number is also very impressive. Most of the morale problems can be solved through training. Even without these people, it would not be difficult to defend the lower levels, and with these people, there would be no problem at all. It is the 1,500 people of my Zhao State, whether they come or not, it will not affect the general's command. ”

The city was seen that Yu Xin was young, but he had a clear mind, and he knew the situation in this city. It seems that I did underestimate this person before.

"Then what do you think General Ben needs most?"

"General, the most important thing for you now is actually the position of a son!"

"This general naturally knows it, otherwise he would not agree to King Zhao's proposal to send the prince back to the Yan Kingdom. But when the prince came, it was nothing more than to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, and to find an excuse to attack the Qi army. But they can't pick up their shoulders, they can't lift their hands, they can just be high, what's the matter? ”

Through this conversation, Yu Xin can confirm that the mentality of the city quilt at this moment has changed. He is no longer the gentle general in Le Yi's mouth, but a powerful minister who wants to control the military power like Zizhi after he has strength. He can serve Gongzi, or he can make Gongzi become the King of Yan, but everything after this must be decided by me, and he can only be a puppet.

"This man is so arrogant!" Yu Xin glanced at the smug expression of the city quilt and commented silently in his heart.

"The general said yes, though. But in a certain point of view, a son-in-law position does not bring the hearts of the people and the army, but tens of thousands of troops, countless grains and grasses, and immeasurable reserve soldiers. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The situation in Yan Kingdom is already very clear. The Qi country is powerful, occupies most of the land, and begins to counter-insurgency, which is naturally invincible. But he first seized the Qiding of Yan State, and then forced Ji Hao to death, and then executed Zizhi in Qi State. No matter which of the above three things is enough, it is enough to make the people of Yan Kingdom unhappy. I want to eat its flesh. ”

"The crown prince Ji Ping originally borrowed troops to destroy Zizhi, which is a very happy thing, as long as he takes advantage of the situation to let the people of Qi leave, he will succeed to the throne in a righteous name. But he not only helped the people of Qi to seize Baoding, but also has not said a word about Ji Xu's death. How can such a prince be willing to make the people of Yan Kingdom submit? ”

"Gongzi Ji is the son of the queen, and he is low-key. If you can enter Yan at this moment, as long as you abide by the law, eliminate traitors, and drive people to the slogan, not only the people will obey, but even the officials of the Yan State before will defect. When the time comes, there will be money to contribute, and the general will have the power of life and death, and all the people will follow wherever he is pointed. ”

"All, the role of the prince is not only to calm the hearts of the people and the army, but to raise food and grass for the general. With a son-in-law, everything will be there. ”

But the general kept asking how the grain and grass were going. How about the horses? Hehe, general, my Zhao State has no intention of sending troops, but seeing that Yan Guo is already in chaos, if it continues, sooner or later it will affect my Zhao State, so I agreed to the post of son. If this is not the case, why would I, Zhao Kingdom, enter the troubled waters of Yan Kingdom? ”

I have something to do today, so I can only send one article for you. Tomorrow the two watches will continue, sorry.
