It is said that the Marquis of Qi met Duan Ganpeng in Changguo on the first night after taking the oath, and he was immediately shocked and listened to his plan to besiege Daliang, and then had a detailed discussion until late at night. Pen & fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info that night Qi Hou was in a good mood, this time the troops just left Linzi and met the virtuous minister, which in the eyes of the superstitious ancients, is it a good sign, is this to Tianxing Qi? Qi Hou actually had a rare insomnia.

So when he got up early the next day, there was one more Sima in the Qi army, although the 100,000 ordinary soldiers were not clear, but many senior generals in the army knew that there was another favorite minister in front of the Qi Marquis.

On this day, he traveled fifty miles to the west and rested at Yuling that night.

On the third day, Qi Hou, who had come to make up for sleep, remembered Duan Ganpeng's words and began to personally urge the speed of the march. So on the third day, the Qi army, which had never been known for its strong soldiers, actually traveled another fifty miles, which was not much slower than that of the Wei army.

Then on the fourth day, the 100,000 Qi troops finally couldn't stand it anymore, and after the sky was bright, only one-third of the men left the camp, and after they were all on the road, the speed slowed down significantly, and the formation was also chaotic, and many soldiers fell to rest on both sides of the road, refusing to go with the team any longer.

Qi Hou was also helpless, and the good mood of the first two days was swept away, so Qi Hou immediately summoned the generals and captains in the army, but was unanimously resisted by the generals. The soldiers didn't want to suffer, so they had to tell the generals about their suffering, but the generals didn't want to rush so desperately every day, so Qi Hou felt powerless for the first time.

What's more, some generals also pointed the finger at the newly appointed army Sima Duan Ganpeng, saying that it was all this kid's bad idea, and if the Wei army in Xinzheng was not fighting, they would rush to besiege Daliang, and if you hit Daliang, everyone could follow and plunder, but why did they still propose to march in a hurry.

Helplessly, Qi Hou had to turn his head to ask Duan Ganpeng for advice, and for the first time when he was dissatisfied with so many generals, Duan Ganpeng was already dumbfounded, so Duan Ganpeng had to suggest to Qi Hou that he would rest for half a day today, and the daily itinerary would be reduced to forty miles in the future.

Under the pressure of the generals, Qi Hou quickly relented. So, this small meeting by the roadside grove ended in only half an hour. As soon as the spirit of the meeting was conveyed, the whole army immediately cheered, many sergeants resting on the roadside were no longer tired, and the speed of the army's advance was much quicker, and they actually marched more than 20 miles before noon and completed today's task at once.

Seeing Qi Hou stunned for a moment, his heart was quite unpleasant.

However, there was no problem with the next march, whether it was the shape of the marching army every day, the discipline was very satisfactory, except for the forty miles that could not be touched by thunder every day, the rest made Qi Hou very satisfied, so Qi Hou's mood gradually improved, and the unhappiness of that day seemed to be left behind.

But that section of the Ganpeng is all in the eyes, the clear-eyed people will not be able to see it, it is true that the quality of the Qi army is not high, but fifty miles a day should be guaranteed, this farce is clearly made by the generals to give the new marching Sima a dismount, so in Duan Ganpeng's heart, secretly began to think.

Finally, on the seventh day, the Qi army arrived at Lixiayi. This Lixia Yi can only be regarded as a larger Yi in the Qi State of the current dynasty, and it cannot be regarded as a city, but in later generations, the city is an international metropolis, Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province. And until today's Jinan City, there is also an administrative district called Lixia District.

After resting for one night in Lixiayi, and on the second day, after gathering the 10,000 soldiers in the Lixia barracks, the army turned and set off to the southwest. Another three days passed, and on the 10th day, the Qi army rushed to Luyi.

Luyi is a border town in the south of Qi State, south of Luyi is the Great Wall of Qi State, don't think that the Great Wall is the patent of Qin Shi Huang, in fact, in the Warring States Period, many vassal states have built the Great Wall, in addition to Korea, Qi State also built, just south of Qi State, facing Lu State and Yue State.

And the south of Luyi is Pingyin, Pingyin was originally a small town, but the Great Wall of Qi passes through Pingyin, but it seems that Pingyin is like a closed city. Since it was an important city on the Great Wall of Qi, Pingyin naturally also had defenders, so in Luyi, the Qi army increased by another 5,000 people, and continued to the west the next day.

Across the Great Wall of Qi and Luyi and Pingyin facing each other, is the Lu city of Feiyi, when the Qi army passed through Luyi, tens of thousands of Lu troops were also under the leadership of the commander, through Feiyi to the west.

Most of the cities in the Central Plains of China have a long history, such as Pingyin and Feiyi, which are still cities today, namely Pingyin City and Feicheng City in today's Shandong Province.

Dozens of miles after the Qi army went west from Luyi, it was Jishui. After more than 100,000 Qi troops were busy for a while, they built a soft bridge and crossed Jishui, and it was already dark at this time, so they had to camp on the west bank of Jishui.

The next day, the Qi army continued westward, and it took another three days to reach Dong'ayi. This Dong'e Yi is the Dong'e County of the later generations, famous for Ejiao, but in the Warring States era, there is no fame, and it is seen in the annals of history, but there is only a Dong'e doctor here, but that is how many years later.

However, at this time in Dong'e, the Marquis of Qi not only gathered 15,000 Qi troops, but also waited for the 30,000 Lu troops who came in a hurry. Since the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Lu has been the head of the Three Huans, until the period of the predecessor Lu Jun Lu Mugong, that is, around 415 BC, that is, the sudden force, from the hands of the Three Huan to recover power, the Meng and Shu were destroyed, the Ji family occupied Fei Yi and other three yi, and established itself as the Fei State, since then, the Lu State has finally been ruled by the Duke of Lu.

However, even if Lu was in power, he still didn't dare to offend Qi, so this time he was invited by the Marquis of Qi to lead the army, and it was the son of the contemporary monarch of Lu State, Gongzi Tun.

Gongzitun is in the prime of his thirties, wearing bronze armor and a one-foot long beard, which makes him even more powerful. However, in front of Qi Hou, who was dressed in a gorgeous robe, Gongzitun only jumped out of the car to run and salute.

After some kind words and persuasion, the Lu army merged into the Qi army, three trumpets sounded, 130,000 Qi troops and 30,000 Lu troops set off together, heading straight to the southwest.

However, on this day, the army only traveled more than ten miles, and rested at Xue Lingyi that night. However, due to the addition of the Lu army, the Qi army, which had always despised the Lu army, was full of spirit, and then marched nearly 50 miles a day for three days, and the army arrived at Malingyi on the southwest border of Qi three days later. This kind of marching speed made Qi Hou high-spirited again, and his self-confidence soared.

This Malingyi is naturally the place where the famous battle of Maling took place in the history books of later generations, it belonged to the Wei State in the Spring and Autumn Period, and belonged to the Qi State during the Warring States Period, and has always been an important military town in the southwest of the Qi State, especially a hill in the west of the city, which formed a natural defense line. It's just that there is nothing to do with Sun Bin in this meeting, so Maling is only an important town on the border of Qi State, and it is far from being famous in later generations.

However, after the Qi soldiers arrived at Malingyi, they began to get tired again, complained to the commander one by one, and finally gathered to the Qi Hou. Thinking that going further would be outside the borders of Qi State, under the persuasion of Duan Ganpeng, Qi Hou agreed to rest for half a day the next day, and then set off after lunch.

So on the second day, all the Qi soldiers slept until they woke up naturally, saying that it was very hard to be the boss in front of the Lu army.

If you go further, you will enter the territory of Weiguo, and it is said that you have to apply for it first to go to the streets of other countries, but at this time, Qi Hou was full of ambition and did not consider writing to Weijun first. In fact, there is a certain reason for the Marquis of Qi to do this, because since the Wei State was strong, the Huaishang States have unanimously left the Qi State and turned to the Wei State.

With 160,000 troops in hand, I have to say that Qi Hou is full of fighting spirit, not to mention the small defense of the country, even the bigger vassal states are in front of him, and Qi Hou will also kill him. Because in the eyes of Qi Hou, now his goal has been set as the first power in the world, the Wei State. So he didn't look at other small countries.

When the feet of the first Qi soldier stepped on the land of the country, it was already the sixteenth day of the Marquis of Qi's oath in the suburbs of Linzi, and in the later era, sixteen days may have been able to complete a large-scale battle across thousands of miles, but at this time, compared with a war that often takes months or even years, it can leave the country in sixteen days, which is very satisfying for a big country like Qi.

What Qi Hou never expected was that at the same time as his own chariot stepped on the Wei Realm, to be detailed, on the same day and at the same hour, the spies of the Wei State also rushed to the outside of the Tutai between Huayang and Xinzheng. So just when Ning Yue of the royal family and Han Chao of South Korea were arguing, an inconspicuous Wei State guard slowly walked up to the earth platform and whispered a few times in front of Sima Wang's wrong ear, and then it didn't take long for Wei Hou to know what happened in Linzi, which was thousands of miles away.

So after discussing a few times with Wang Cuo in a low voice, Wei Hou and Wang Cuo looked at each other and nodded. It's just this detail, no one on the royal family and the Korean side who are in the middle of the dispute on the soil platform has noticed, and all the people on both sides are attracted to the land.

However, on the way back after signing the agreement with Korea, after receiving a notice from Wei Hou to send Baning to leave Huayang the next day, Zhou Bian realized that he was on the Tutai, and he seemed to have missed something, judging from Wei Hou's performance, he must have gotten the news on the Tutai. However, this is a good thing for himself, because the Marquis of Wei is obviously still towards the royal family, and after hearing that the Qi State sent troops, he strongly forced Korea to agree to the conditions favorable to the royal family.

It's just that I don't know if Han Hou will jump off the wall in anger when he understands that Wei Hou was dispatched by the Qi army to disappear on the day of the negotiation.

However, after Zhou Bian left Huayang, Su Rui got more news from Baning's mouth. After learning that the Marquis of Wei only learned the news of Qi State after sixteen days, Zhou Bian sighed for a long time. Sixteen days, enough to launch a campaign, or even destroy a country, only to learn the news here, and I don't know where the Qi army has gone.

But it's relieved to think about it, the Wei State spies outside Linzi City are just running with their legs, and it's really not easy to run thousands of miles away after 16 days of hard work. It seems that it is necessary to organize scouts who can ride horses, but if you think about it carefully, if you let the knights on horses gallop for hundreds of miles a day in the densely populated Central Plains now, I am afraid that it will immediately attract the attention of the nations, so it is better to be later.

If it weren't as powerful as Wei, for example, when Wei sent news from Hangu Pass to Xinzheng, it used knights and fast horses, and this time it was obviously not, at least not on most of the way back from Linzi, otherwise it wouldn't take sixteen days, maybe it was just that Hangu Pass was more important, and there was a general who guarded the pass, so he used a fast horse, and the spies came back from Linzi, obviously they couldn't enjoy this kind of treatment, according to this view, I'm afraid that Wei still doesn't pay enough attention to information, or in the eyes of Wei, The Qi army was not as important as the Qin army.

But in any case, in this era, it is already good to be able to do this as the Marquis of Wei, at least he did not wait for the Qi army to appear on the border of Wei before calling the police to the monarch.

Not to mention that the Wei army left Huayang in the early morning and marched north. Besides, the Qi army, from the moment they left the Qi realm and stepped on the land of patriotism, the officers and men of the whole army began to get nervous.

After all, it is not very easy to cross one country to attack another, and it was also decided not to apply to the Wei Hou, so the Qi army carefully released a large number of scouts, and then the army turned south, bypassing Puyang, the capital of the Wei Kingdom, from the path.

So the speed of the march naturally slowed down, and on this day, plus the distance from Malingyi to the border of Qi State, it only traveled a total of thirty miles, which is equivalent to only entering the Wei realm for a few miles, and then camped.

At dawn the next day, a trumpet sounded among the Qi army, and the 160,000 army continued to advance, but the scouts of Qi were obviously not as far away as the scouts of Wei, so at this time, Qi Hou Shang did not know that Xinzheng, which was hundreds of miles away, Wei Hou had already hurriedly ended the negotiations with Han Hou yesterday, and today this will be a few miles away from Huayang.

The 160,000-strong army continued to march south, and the Marquis of Qi decided to turn to the border between Song and Wei, and then to the west, then he could directly kill Daliang.

The closer he got to the beam, the more excited Qi Hou's heart became, as if he had seen himself leading the army to surround the beam, and the small towns around the beam were broken one after another, and a large amount of grain, grass, copper and iron were sent back to Linzi.

However, not long after they entered the territory of the Patriotic Kingdom today, they encountered a small wave of guards.

It is said that it is a small wave, but in fact, there are thousands of people, but compared to the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qi army, it is not enough to see, so the Qi Hou gave an order, and the Qi army launched an attack, and the guards saw that they were invincible, turned around and fled. After chasing two miles to the west, the sound of gold sounded among the Qi army, and the army continued to move south.

However, what neither the Qi nor the Lu people expected was that just when the Qi Hou was overjoyed in a complete victory, the Qi army received two shocking news from the captured guards, so that the Qi Hou had to order the whole army to stop advancing and set up camp in the local area.
