The state of Qin used Han and Wei to attack the state of Qi, and the news soon reached the state of Zhao. Zhao Yong summoned Zhao Bao, Fei Yi, Li Dui, Tian Buli, Gongzi Cheng and others to convene a palace meeting. There is only one theme in this meeting, that is, the Qi State and the Qin State compete for who is more powerful. Everyone believes that Qi is a powerful country in the world, and its strength is obvious to all.

As for how strong the Qin State is, it is difficult for everyone to guess. After the disastrous defeat of Qin Xiangong and Wei in Hexi, Qin went through the efforts of two generations of Qin Xiaogong Yingquliang and Qin Wang Yingsi for decades. Qin sent out the Han Valley in the east, broke the three Jins, swept Xirong, and controlled the Chu State in the south. How strong the Qin State is, the people of the Zhao State are still inconclusive. As for the contest between Qin and Qi, who will have the last laugh, there is no doubt that it will definitely be the Qi State.

The Qin State had been despised by the Central Plains princes for a long time, and this time it successfully attracted the attention of the Central Plains princes through Han Wei Vaqi. Qin defeated Qi, and Qin's status and strength would be recognized by the vassal states. The state of Qin also became the overlord of the princes. Qin Guodong sent a letter to the valley, borrowed Han Wei, and fought for the world with the Qi State, which seemed to hit the stone with an egg. The courage and courage of the Qin people are worthy of recognition. The courtiers of the Zhao State were also looking forward to the peak showdown between the eagle warriors of the Qin State and the competitive divisions of the Qi State.

The courtiers of Zhao State were interested in Qi State, and they hoped to use the power of Qi State to severely attack the arrogance of the Qin people. The Qin State was defeated, and the humiliation inflicted by the Qin State on the Zhao State would be able to recover it with interest in the future. However, Zhao Yong's mind was to hope that the Qin State would win.

The surname Ying is one of the eight surnames of antiquity, an ancient surname. The winning surname Zhao was ill-fated and almost died several times. During the Yin Shang period, the family surnamed Ying had a noble status. King Wu of Zhou borrowed Yin Shang to go to Dongyi, but Chaoge's troops were weak and destroyed Yin Shang. The ancestor surnamed Ying fought for Shang and suffered a heavy defeat. Yin Shang fell, and the surname Win also began to decline.

In order to revive the ancestral foundation, Wu Geng cavalry fought against the Zhou State. The surname Ying is loyal to Yin Shang and naturally supports Wu Geng. However, Wu Geng's power could not shake the solid foundation established by the Great Zhou. After Wu Geng was suppressed by the Zhou State, the Ying family was devastated for aiding Wu Geng, and the Zhou people were forced to move west. The surname Ying was completely marginalized by Ji Yimai.

The surname Ying, from the status of the nobility, was reduced to a slave pariah. Fortunately, the man surnamed Ying is brave and good at fighting, and does not bow to fate. After several generations of hard work, the descendants of the Ying family have used their own hands to regain the lost honor and dignity of their ancestors. Qin and Zhao are both descendants of the surname Ying, and the kings of Qin and Zhao trace back to their origins, and they are also the same ancestor. If the national interest comes first, Zhao Yong hopes that Qin will lose; When it comes to personal feelings, he hopes that the man surnamed Zhao wins.

The Qin State won, and the forgotten clan surnamed Zhao will be remembered again.

When Tian Bibi, the king of Qi, received a declaration of war from the Qin State, he didn't look at it and threw it aside. Tian Biyi's tone reflected the deep contempt for the Qin State of the Western Barbarian Country, "If the widow succeeds to the throne, the Qin State will dare to attack." Okay, the Three Jin Dynasty can't win against the Qin State. The state of Chu did not dare to compete with it. The widow will teach the princes a good lesson for the Qin State. The widow wants to let the princes know that the Qi country is the first power. In this world, only the Qi State bullies the princes, and the princes dare to bully me. ”

The state of Qin is located in the west, and has always been despised by the princes of the Central Plains for a long time. Now Han Wei was forced by the obscenity of the Qin State, swallowed his anger and lent it the way. The Qin State also did not weigh its own strength, and took the initiative to attack the Qi State. The pride of Qi as a big country in the East instantly surged in their hearts, and everyone thought that they should teach the arrogant and ignorant Qin people a good lesson.

In order to win this war, Qi Wang Tian Biqi tried his best to oppose public opinion, and instead of using Tian's children as generals, he used the battlefield veteran Kuang Zhang to lead 30,000 troops to fight against Qin. Kuang Zhang's heart was already gearing up, and he also wanted to see the country of tigers and wolves in the mouth of Sanjin. The Three Jin Dynasty and the Chu State can't help the Qin State, so let the Qi State teach the Qin State a lesson and raise the prestige of the princes.

Kuang Zhang saw that the new king had given him this task, and immediately went out to receive the order.

"If the widow succeeds to the throne, the Qin people will come to provoke the national prestige of our country." Qi Wang Tian Pi Bi said, "Zhangzi, you have to teach the widow a good lesson to the barbaric Qin people, beat the Qin people down to me, and let the Qin country prostrate at the feet of my Qi country." The athletic division of my Qi country is invincible in the world. ”

Kuang Zhang replied with an oath, "The minister does not live up to the king's trust." This battle will be won. ”

"Okay." Seeing that Kuang Zhang was full of confidence and threatened that Qi would win this battle, Tian Pibi, the king of Qi, suddenly surged with pride and encouraged: "Anyone who has made meritorious contributions to the Qin people will be rewarded with thousands of gold, and the official will be promoted to a knighthood." ”

The courtiers knelt down, "Long live the King of Qi, long live the Kingdom of Qi." ”

Qi Wang Tian Piqi was cheered by everyone, actively preparing for battle, waiting for the arrival of Qin.

King Yingsi of Qin led 30,000 troops to win the male son Yinghua with the surname Yinghua, and borrowed the way of Han Wei to attack the country of Qi. The Qin army first passed through Han, then through Wei, through the defense of the country, everywhere he went, Yinghua did not forget to preach the military force of the Qin state. The three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Wei opened the avenue and prepared grain and grass for the Qin army to drive. The Qin army came west to raise the prestige of the princes of the Central Plains, and Yinghua was also enthusiastic.

Yinghua secretly vowed that he must win the Qi State, so that the prestige of the Qin State will be as high as the sky. At that time, the princes of the Central Plains dared not to come to the Xianyang Palace of the Qin State to worship and prostrate at the feet of the Qin State. Therefore, Yinghua thought of a good strategy, and the attack must be quickly resolved. In order to fiercely fight the fierce warriors of the Great Qin Eagle, they charged into battle.

In order to motivate the morale of the three armies, he died generously for the great cause of the Qin State.

Yinghua promised: "Those who have the head of the king of Qi will be sealed as the marquis of ten thousand households and given ten thousand gold." ”

In order to win the hearts of the people of Qi and oppose the King of Qin. Yinghua strictly enforced military discipline and ordered the soldiers of the Qin State not to harass the people of Qidi. If there is a violation of military discipline, there will be no forgiveness. Before the battle, Yinghua led the army to attack Yang Jin in Qi first, and then went south to attack Kangfu, an important town in Qi State, and then went north by surprise and went straight to the hinterland of Nanyang in Qi State. After a brief rest, he led the army to a decisive battle with the main force of Qi State. Yinghua intends to settle the situation in one battle, destroy the main force of Qi, and approach Linzi, the capital of Qi, and capture the king of Qi Tian Pibi alive.

The State of Qi relied on itself as a great power in the east, and did not take precautions against the Qin people who came from the west. The Qin State marched all the way to the city, captured the Yang and Jin, occupied the father of Kang, and the Nanyang of the Qi State was in danger. Seeing that the Qin people were not as weak as they imagined, Qi did not dare to slack off the war and actively prepared for war. The Qi general Kuang Zhang saw the offensive strategy of the Qin people and personally led the main force of Qi to intercept it.

The two armies of Qi and Qin encountered each other in the land of Sanqiu on the border of Qi and Song.

Qin General Yinghua gained the initiative on the battlefield and took the lead in launching an attack on the main force of the Qi State. Kuang Zhang commanded the Qi army to meet the battle. The two armies of Qi and Qin fought fiercely, regardless of victory or defeat. The two armies camped against each other in anticipation of a decisive battle.

After Yinghua and Kuang Zhang fought for the first time, they already understood that Qi was worthy of being a big country in the East, and it was a fool's dream to decide the outcome of a war. So, while resting the army, he secretly sent people to Han and Wei to move rescue troops. As soon as Han Wei's rescue came, he dealt a fatal blow to Qi State.

For several days, the Qin army did not attack the Qi camp. The generals of the Qi State all thought that the Qin State was afraid of the competitive division of the Qi State, and they all went out to ask for battle. Kuang Zhang knew that this battle was not an ordinary battle between princes, but a battle between great powers. If Qin wins, it will become famous, and the princes of the Central Plains will change from despising Qin to serving Qin. The princes who were pro-Qi would also break off their friendship with him and turn to pro-Qin. In this battle, the Qi State not only can't lose, but also can't afford to lose. If Qi loses, the status of the eastern power will plummet, and the reputation of the first power in the east will be difficult to preserve.

Seeing that the first power in the east is nothing more than that, the Qin State will take Yu Wei to unite the Sanjin, Southern Chu and Yue States to carve up the territory of the Qi State. Kuang Zhang knew that this battle was very important, and he could not start a war with the Qin State rashly, so he tried his best to suppress the generals who asked for war and waited for the opportunity to move.

Seeing that the main general did not dare to fight, the generals of Qi sneered at him for being cowardly, and on the other hand, they slandered the king of Qi, asking for a change of generals. Faced with the document of impeachment of Kuang Zhang, Tian Bibi didn't look at it, and threw it aside. Tian Bibi asked the envoy to come to the Qin army's tent with a talisman in hand to convey the edict... Whoever does not listen to the orders of the Lord will be beheaded.

Although the generals of the Qi army were dissatisfied with the king's edict, they did not dare to openly disobey it. With the support of the king, Kuang Zhang went to know his opponent further. On this day, Kuang Zhang and his deputy general Tian Yang looked for military affairs and stood on a high place looking down on the Qin army camp. Instead of repairing their positions and strengthening the city defenses, the Qin army played a game. When Tian Yang saw it, his eyes were full of doubts and asked, "Did the Qin people come to my place to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" ”

Kuang Zhang replied, "They are waiting for reinforcements. ”

Tian Yang's nerves tensed suddenly, and he asked, "Reinforcements?" ”

"The Qin State is waiting for reinforcements from Wei and Han."

Tian Yang was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Han and Wei have been bullied by Qin badly enough, they will send troops to help Qin State and deal with our Qi State." ”

"Han and Wei want to use the strength of our country to teach the Qin State a lesson." Kuang Zhang stroked his chin, sorted out the information he had received recently, and carefully analyzed the current situation, "Han and Wei really want to form an alliance with Qin to deal with our country. The armies of Han and Wei have already arrived. Qin waited for several days, but there were no reinforcements. General Qin was afraid that he couldn't sit still. ”

"What are we going to do next?"

"This Qin army is a lone army, and it has penetrated deep into our country. Han and Wei will not send troops to support, and the Qin army will also be afraid that Han and Wei will suddenly turn against the water, cut off the way back, and fight back. Kuang Zhang's expression was relaxed, it seemed that the situation in this war was beginning to favor the Qi State, "What we have to do is to polish the temperament of this Qin army." Once the breath in their hearts is gone, we can give him a fatal blow and win the battle. ”

Tian Yang seemed to understand that in the past few days, the Qin army had come to scold the formation, and had attempted to attack the Qi army camp several times. It's just that they're bluffing. In fact, the current situation of the Qin army is that it cannot advance or retreat, and it is in a dilemma. Tian Yang saw that Kuang Zhang was not only sober-minded and steady, but also judged the development of the situation very correctly. Tian Yang also admired him very much, and when the war was over, he would have a few drinks with him in order to seek military praise.

Yinghua saw that the army was besieged by the Qi State and fell into a dangerous place where there was no way to advance or retreat. Secretly sent several waves of scouts to Han and Wei to bring rescue troops. After waiting for a few days, the rescuers of Han and Wei were nowhere to be seen.

Vice General Qin asked, "General, will reinforcements from Han and Wei come?" ”

Ying Hua calculated the time, and Han and Wei were willing to help Qin deal with Qi together. Reinforcements from the two countries have come to the Qin army's tent. Seeing that there were no reinforcements, Yinghua sighed, "They won't come." ”

The deputy general said angrily: "Han and Wei dare not listen to the dispatch of our Qin State. Aren't they afraid that our Qin State will go to war with them? ”

In the past few days, Yinghua has thought a lot and thought very thoroughly. Han and Wei wanted to use the power of Qi to weaken Qin. Han Wei borrowed the Qin State, one was to show weakness and paralyze the Qin army. Second, their real purpose was to see the Qin army defeat miserably. Once the Qin state was defeated, Han and Wei would unite and encourage the princes to work together against the Qin state. The state of Qin relied on its national strength to wage war with the three Jin and Chu states. The princes of the Central Plains were basically offended by the Qin State.

In this battle, they all hoped that the Qin State would lose, so how could they send reinforcements to deal with the Qi State together.

"Sanjin is a hot-blooded man, how can he succumb to my Qin State. If the Qin State really goes to war with it, it will still be us who will suffer. Yinghua sighed abruptly, "The Qin State is not afraid to attack any of the Three Jin and Chu States. The two countries of Han and Wei were united, and it was also quite difficult for Qin to deal with it. If the Three Jin Dynasty and the Chu State unite to attack our Qin State, the Qin State will be in a worrying situation. The king was too anxious to do things, and the princes of the Central Plains were all offended by us. Otherwise, we would not be in danger without the help of any princes. I'm Qin! Left alone. ”

The deputy general saw that the main general analyzed thoroughly, but as a great Qin man, he was not afraid of life and death, "General, what should we do." Whether it is war or peace, please decide. ”

"Personal honor and disgrace are small, but humiliation of the country is big. If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and you will live up to the king's trust. Yinghua's eyes were sharp and bright, fearless, and the man surnamed Zhao would die vigorously even if he died, "In this battle, we must fight, and we must also play the reputation of my Qin State." I'm a big Qin man, why not be afraid of life and death! ”

"Okay." The adjutant general's heart was surging, and his blood was boiling, "General, please give the order to go to war!" ”

Ying Hua said loudly: "Pass my order to go down, and tomorrow at noon, the war will start." ”

Kuang Zhang learned from the scouts hidden in the Qin army that at noon tomorrow, the Qin army would take the initiative to start a war with the Qi State.

Kuang Zhang was also thinking about what he would do if he faced a dangerous dilemma. Whether to choose to live in humiliation, or to die vigorously for the country. His answer is the same as that of General Qin, a man was born in heaven and earth, not afraid of life and death, only afraid of humiliation and no reputation.

At noon the next day, Qi and Qin set up their positions.

Yinghua stepped forward and said loudly: "I am Yinghua, the boy surnamed Zhao, who will be your lord." ”

Kuang Zhang replied: "I am Kuang Zhang. ”

Yinghua laughed loudly and said: "Kuang Zhang is a person, I have never heard of it. ”

Tian Yang shouted: "Don't be arrogant, today is your death." ”

"If I die in battle today." Ying Hua said word by word, arrogantly: "Twenty years later, he is still a good man." ”

Kuang Zhang also admired that the person in front of him was a good man, and said loudly: "General, dare to drink with me." ”

"Come on."

Kuang Zhang held the wine bottle and said loudly: "A good man is not afraid of life and death, please." ”

"Please." Yinghua raised her head and drank it all, throwing away the wine bottle, "Good wine." ”

Kuang Zhang shouted loudly: "The Qin State and my Qi State have always been well water and not river water. For decades, nothing happened. Today, the Qin people took advantage of Han Wei to invade our country for thousands of miles, occupy our land and cities, and kill our people. The princes of the Central Plains regarded Qin as a tiger and wolf and did not dare to compete with it. I'm a great soldier, why be afraid! Soldiers, prepare for battle. ”

Ying Hua faced the three armies and boosted his morale and said, "You are all good men of my Great Qin. Pick up your weapons and plunge them into the hearts of your enemies. Use the blood of your enemies to prove your male identity. Great Qin Ruishi, who competes with each other. Soldiers, go to war. ”
