Guangyang, Yan Kingdom, the Qi army has not further advanced here for more than ten days.

Originally, the army of Yan that was blocking them had already been beaten by them. However, they did not go any further.

The reason is very simple, the coach Kuai Mu has completely fallen ill. It's even to the point where you can't sit up.

In the middle of the court, Emperor Qi learned that Kuai Mu was ill, and he was anxious, and he had already sent envoys early to replace Kuai Mu's handsome position.

It was not that Emperor Qi was worried that Kuai Mu would not be able to command the Qi army, which caused the Qi army to be defeated. Instead, he was worried that Kuai Mu would die in a foreign country if he supported it like this.

This war is very important to Qi and is the key to whether Qi can regain its majesty. If he could, Emperor Qi naturally didn't want the Qi army to change commanders.

However, compared with the victory of this war, the safety of Kuai Mu is the foundation of Qi country.

The battle can be lost, but Kuaimu can't die!

However, perhaps knowing that his time was really running out, Kuai Mu repeatedly refused the envoy's request. Still holding on to the illness.

"Teacher, news has come from Zhao that the Han army has taken Kan Yu and is heading towards Handan."

In the big tent, as Kuaimu's proud protégé, Tian Wen reported softly.

Kuai Mu, who was lying on the bed, did not speak, and there was no trace of blood on his wrinkled skin. On the contrary, it is full of twilight colors.

Just like that, this old man who once dominated the country seems to have passed away.

"As expected......" After waiting for a long time, Kuai Mu opened his mouth slightly and confided.

Regarding Kan Yu's loss, in fact, Tian Wen was not very surprised.

The only thing that was a little surprising was that the king of Zhou actually relied on a new army to resist the Han army for so long, and even caused the Han army to suffer a big loss.

"As soon as Kan Yu is lost, the hinterland of Zhao State may be like entering a no-man's land for the Han army. Teacher, we ......"

Tian Wen's words did not continue, because, with his understanding of Kuai Mu, I am afraid that he would rather die in the army than retreat.

Sure enough, as soon as Tian Wen finished saying this, Kuai Mu shook his head slightly.

Tian Wen was not persistent, just quietly waiting for Kuai Mu to speak.

"Divide the troops...... Kuai Mu's voice became deeper and deeper.

"Whoa." Tian Wen arched his hand, and then respectfully retreated.

……

"What, division of troops?"

In the partial tent, Deputy Marshal Chen Qi walked around a little uneasily after listening to Tian Wen's words.

"Is that really what the prime minister said?" Chen Qi asked with some hesitation in his tone.

"That's true." Tian Wen arched his hand and said without humility or arrogance.

"Hiss......" Chen Qi hesitated for a while, then shook his head while waving his hand and said, "No!" No way! Dividing troops is a taboo for soldiers! ”

Tian Wen pursed his lips slightly, and lowered his head at the same time.

However, there was a deep look of disappointment in his eyes.

Chen Qi is a person who is so happy, but he is timid.

When he followed Kuai Mu all the way before, he was majestic, and many people in the army were scolding him.

But when Kuai Mu fell ill, even if there were more people who scolded him, he became cautious.

As for the reason, Tian Wen also saw it clearly.

Now Kuai Mu is sick, and almost all major matters are nominally handed over to this deputy marshal to deal with. Great authority is great, but it also means great responsibility.

Now, the Yan State has been defeated by the Qi army, and although there are still a few soldiers, their morale is low, and it is difficult to organize an effective attack.

Next, the resulting enemy will be the Han army.

And Chen Qi didn't know where to hear some gossip about Li Guang, the commander of the Han army, and didn't dare to fight Li Guang at all.

Therefore, when he heard that the troops were going to be divided, Chen Qi's head shook faster than ever.

At this moment, Tian Wen's heart is extremely complicated.

Originally, when he was in the Qi Kingdom, Kuai Mu drew a good blueprint for him.

Kuai Mu saw Chen Qi's incompetence, and at the same time, he also took a fancy to his lack of assertiveness. hopes to use Chen Qi's fame to let Tian Wen exert his skills in the court.

This is also the reason why Kuai Mu did not order his other apprentice, Guo Xizhi, to be the deputy commander, but to bring Chen Qi.

However, Chen Qi's cowardice and incompetence exceeded Kuai Mu and Tian Wen's expectations.

I want to get credit, but I don't even have the courage to divide my troops and fight. Tian Wenzhen didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Brother, I know that you are the prime minister's high foot. Now that the prime minister is unwell, the army's morale is unstable, and it is really not advisable to divide the army, you should persuade the prime minister more! ”

"Oh, Tian Wen knows." Arching his hand, Tian Wen turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

After leaving, Tian Wen did not immediately return to the Chinese army's big tent.

Now how bad Kuai Mu's body is, as his proud protégé, Tian Wen himself knows it very well.

There are twelve hours in a day, and there are almost only one or two hours when he is awake.

Although Tian Wen said that he could take people as his son and ignore life and death, he really respected his teacher. If this matter is known to the teacher, I am afraid that I will have to worry about it for a long time.

"It's better to think of a foolproof plan, and then go to the teacher to discuss......" Tian Wen looked at the somewhat gray sky, and couldn't help but shake his head and think.

It's already April, and although Guangyang is located in the north, it is also close to the sea. The humid air makes people feel a little oppressive.

"It's already rainy season...... After that, the march is probably more difficult. ”

The rainy season is not a torrential rain, and if it rains, it will take half a month.

Now, Kan Yu has been broken, the hinterland of Zhao has been threatened, and the Qi army has been stagnant.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be a chess game with no solution.

Back in his tent, Tian Wen saw at a glance two poems on the table.

"tanka line...... Seeking Talent......"

Tian Wen picked up the two pieces of paper again and read them softly.

"Singing about wine, what is life? …… Qingqing Zijin, my heart...... Zhou Gong Tufu, the world returns to the heart......"

"Heh, if Chen Qi has such a heroic spirit, great things can be done!"

Today, for the first time, Tian Wen was disgusted with Chen Qi's inaction.

Such a person is a good puppet, but he is also a master who cannot be supported. A person who is cowardly before fighting, does he expect him to fight against the high-ranking and powerful old rivers and lakes in the court?

After all, it's just a grandstanding clown.

"There is a heart for the country! There are no branches to rely on! Tian Wen carefully put away the two pieces of paper, but sighed weakly.

The deep-rooted Qi dynasty and the rotten system made him see no hope at all.
