Chapter 175: Emperor Qi's Wrath (Part II)

Han Huai, the crown prince of Qi, was eventually sent to the north by the Emperor of Qi.

In other words, this simply does not allow Han Huai to choose. And now the commander of the Qi army, Kuai Mu, who has basically fallen into a coma, was also recalled to Linzi by the Qi Emperor.

It's just that all this is unknown to anyone except the high-level officials of Qi State.

On the other side, the Han army, which was still storming Daijun, also received two shocking news.

In the big tent of the Han army, the atmosphere was quite dull.

In the past few days, the Dai army and the Qi army have been pressed and beaten by the Han army, especially the Dai army, which has been fighting and retreating, which is very different from the fierce and fearless death at the beginning.

After several inquiries, I learned that Handan, the capital of Zhao State, had fallen into the hands of the Chu people.

And King Zhao also became a puppet in the hands of King Zhou of Chu.

It is precisely because of this that the Dai army in the north is in panic all day long, and its combat effectiveness has been sharply reduced.

The Han army, which learned the news, originally planned to march all the way, eager to completely defeat the Dai army and occupy Dai County.

Li Guang knew that if he waited for the Chu State in the south to thoroughly negotiate with the Dai army in the north and appease the Dai army with good combat strength, then it would not be of much significance for the Han army to defeat the Dai army in the future.

However, just as the Han army was preparing to intensify its offensive, a bad news came.

Li Danghu's army, which was forced to evacuate because of the arrival of the Shenwu army of the Chu State, was ambushed by the Chu army when he returned to Taiyuan.

It was none other than Xia Xu, the third prince of Chu State, who attacked Li Danghu.

And the result can be said to have shocked everyone.

The 40,000 Han army was ambushed by a mere 20,000 Chu troops, but it was almost wiped out. Li Danghu, the chief general of the Han army, was even more killed in battle.

When the news reached the north, almost everyone could not believe it.

Li Danghu is also extremely brave in the Jiuyuan Army, and he has won the true biography of his father Li Guang. The feats he has made are countless. Otherwise, the Han Emperor would not be able to override the public opinion and let Li Danghu serve as the deputy commander of the Han army.

Although Li Guang is a famous general, but the death of his eldest son, it is impossible to say that it has no effect on him.

Therefore, when the State of Qi sent an envoy, Li Guang chose to meet him almost without hesitation.

And at this time, it was when Li Guang was waiting for the envoys of the Qi State.

"Let's do it!" There was a shout from outside the tent.

"Let him in!" Li Guang immediately gave the order.

Soon, a man dressed in a cloth coat and holding a long knot walked in.

"The staff of the crown prince of Qi, Tian Wen, has met General Li."

Tian Wen, who was standing among the generals of the Han army, respectfully saluted Li Guang, who was seated. Between his expressions, he was not affected in the slightest by the indifferent faces of the Han army generals sitting there.

Since the Qi army came to Daijun, although Chen Qi was the commander of the Qi army on the surface, he obeyed Tian Wen's arrangement in almost everything.

This made Tian Wen, who was already a little disheartened, couldn't help but have a little hope.

It's a pity that Tian Wen and Chen Qi's personalities are completely different.

In the process of fighting with the Han army, Tian Wen acted boldly, and even wanted to take the initiative to attack the Han army several times. However, it was fiercely opposed by Chen Qi.

This also caused a rift in the relationship between the two, which was not bad.

Therefore, when Han Huai, the prince of Qi, arrived in the north, Tian Wen immediately threw himself into Han Huai's side, trying to win Han Huai's trust and gain more initiative.

However, Han Huai, the prince of Qi, gave Tian Wen a blow to the head. He actually asked him to take the secret order of Emperor Qi to make peace with the Han army and jointly attack Chu.

Unlike the Zhao army, which had roots in Handan, the Qi army, which was on an expedition, was not very clear about the news in Zhao.

So much so that before the Prince of Qi Han Huai came, Tian Wen didn't even know that Xia Huan had done something earth-shattering in Zhao again.

Intellectually, Tian Wen was very opposed to the union with the Han state.

There is no other reason, at this time, the State of Qi has the capital to fight with the Han State, even if it loses, it doesn't matter, but once it is defeated in the hands of the State of Chu, I am afraid that it will be like a dead country.

The states of Qi and Chu were bordered, but there was a great gap between them and the Han states.

Therefore, even if the Qi State was defeated by the Han State, it would be impossible for the Han State to expand the results of the war.

On the contrary, the state of Chu almost included the entire state of Qi. And in the territory of Qi State, there is no dangerous place like Hangu Pass in Han State.

Once a war with the state of Chu began, there was almost no way out.

Today, the state of Qi is weak. If Qi Xiang Kuaimu is still there, then after the victory in this battle, Qi still has the ability to control Zhao State.

However, as a disciple of Kuaimu, Tian Wen can be said to be the person who knows Kuaimu's body the most in addition to Kuaimu.

Without Kuai Mu, the pillar of Qi State, I am afraid that after this war, Zhao State will also turn his back on Qi State and throw himself to other countries.

It's just a question of whether to vote for the Han State and regain the Daijun or to the Chu State.

However, the Emperor of Qi experienced the transformation of the Qi State from its extreme prosperity to decline. On top of his nature, Emperor Qi still regarded Qi as a powerful country that could compete with Han Chu a few decades ago.

Under the anger, he was even more reckless about the consequences.

After learning that this was not Prince Qi's intention, but Emperor Qi's intention, Tian Wen could only reluctantly enter the Han camp.

"What is the reason why the envoy came?"

Li Guang, who was seated, did not speak in a very good tone. Obviously, the pain of losing a child has had a great impact on him.

"With the general, conspire with great things!"

"Big deal?" Li Guang sneered twice and said, "Could it be that Qi is planning to withdraw its troops?" Unless it is to withdraw the army and give up Daijun, there is no need to say what follows. ”

Tian Wen smiled, but he kept his mouth shut and said no more.

Li Guang waited for a long time, but he didn't see Tian Wen speak, and his heart couldn't help but become more irritable.

"Bang!"

Li Guangyi slapped the table and said in a low voice: "If your envoy doesn't want to speak, please leave." Someone, send off! ”

"I am ordered by Your Majesty to send the General to the State of Zhao!" Tian Wen arched his hand and shouted.

"What!"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals present were shocked.

"Hmph, send? How to send? Li Guang sneered, "Why, is it possible that Emperor Qi still thinks that the current Zhao State is still a vassal state of the Qi State?" ”

"It is precisely because of this that Your Majesty does not want to see the Zhao Kingdom fall into the hands of villains."

"You mean, you want to join forces with me?"

"Exactly."

Li Guang fell silent, and the generals of the Han army below also stared at Li Guang.

Most of these Han generals were Li Guang's generals in Jiuyuan, and in addition to the temptation of Zhao State, they wanted to avenge Li Danghu.

The so-called generals are outside, and the king's orders are not subject to it. As the head coach, Li Guang has the power to decide whether to unite with the Qi State.

After all, if he could win the Zhao State, the Han Emperor would only commend him, but would never blame him.

After hesitating for a while, Li Guangcai spoke: "Take your envoy down to rest first." ”
