Wei State, under the city of Jiyang, Gongzihua silently listened to what Jiyang Ling Chen said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You mean, Taoqiu of the Song Kingdom is a neutral city recognized by all countries, so it is not suitable to enter directly?" Gongzihua asked.

"Childe is right! The Treaty of Taoqiu is a treaty recognized by the four states of Wei, Zhao, Qi and Song, not to mention that the Song State has always been a neutral country and has never been involved in wars between other countries, so our country's Huixiang also asked the general not to attack the Song State without authorization, so as not to provoke public anger for the Qin State. Jiyang Ling said truthfully.

Gongzihua heard Jiyang Ling's words, and his brows furrowed deeply. If the main force of the Qin army did not attack Taoqiu, then how could they attack the Qi State all the way along Jishui?

Gongzihua asked people to bring a map of the intersection of Wei, Qi, and Song, and then he spent a lot of money to invite Song merchants who were familiar with the topography of this place to carefully explain the topography here.

"In this way, in the southeast of Qi Kingdom, the giant field on the south bank of Onozawa is the most important pass? If you can't capture Juye, you can't go north to Pinglu? Gongzihua asked.

"The general is right, when I go to Qi from Wei to do business, I will first set off along Jishui, first go to Taoqiu in Song State, and then go to Juye along Taoqiu, and only after passing Juye can I really enter Qi Realm!" The merchant replied.

Gongzi Hua, who got such an answer, frowned, did he really want to attack Taoqiu of the Song Kingdom, attack Juye all the way and then go north to attack Qi?

At the same time, Kuang Zhang, who was in the State of Qi, sent the deputy general Tian Hong to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses into Juye, plus the original 5,000 defenders of the State of Qi in Juye, to carry out a tight defense.

Kuang Zhang clearly told Tian Hong: In Juye, no matter how the Qin army challenges, don't fight! As long as they can defend Juye and exhaust the sharp energy of the Qin army from afar, the Qin army will naturally retreat!

Kuang Zhang's plan was very good, but he ignored the identity of the deputy general Tian Hong.

After Tian Hongnai was a member of the Qi clan, although he was not ranked high in the Qi clan, he was a real nobleman, and he had always looked down on low-level scholars like Kuang Zhang! Especially Kuang Zhang is also a student of Confucian Mencius!

Most of the nobles of the Qi State believed in the doctrine of Huang Lao, and Tian Hong was the same. In Tian Hong's eyes, his master general is not only a heretic, but also a coward!

Therefore, when he received Kuang Zhang's order to send him to guard Juye, although he took the order and left, he was not convinced by Kuang Zhang, but he did not really take Kuang Zhang's order to heart.

As soon as he arrived in Juye, he sent scouts to scout around to reconnoiter the movements of the Qin army. Of course, he was not crazy enough to dare to go directly to the invincible Qin army to attack, he just confirmed the specific location of the Qin army so that he could act next.

Knowing that most of the Qin army was still in Jiyang, Tian Hong was not in a hurry. After he gave the order to defend Juye, he personally inspected Juye's city defense, and after seeing that there was no major problem, he also took care of himself.

At the same time, Gongzi Hua, the commander of the Qin army in Jiyang, finally started his operation after weighing the pros and cons of all parties!

He sent a large army and began to march along Jishui to the country of Qi with great fanfare!

Although this time the Qin army attacked Qi and the military discipline was very strict along the way, the Qin army's attack this time still caused the merchants along the Jishui River to jump for a while, and the trade along the entire Jishui line was greatly reduced!

After Tian Hong received that the Qin army began to attack, he finally began to get serious. When the main force of the Qin army began to pass through Taoqiu, Tian Hong sent a team of scouts to begin to reconnoiter the movements of the Qin army.

After the Qin army passed through Taoqiu, they saw the prosperity of the world's largest commercial city, and the Qin people from the barren ravine were envious of it! And the commander of the Qin army, after taking the Qin army away from Taoqiu, when he was less than ten miles away from Juye, did not immediately start attacking Juye, but began to repair.

When the Qin army was really close at hand, Tian Hong felt the strong pressure of the Qin army, and he ordered the Qi army to retreat in the city and not to fight without authorization!

The Qin army repaired near Juye for three days, and still did not attack once, which made Tian Hong a little puzzled, could it be that the Qin army was so cowardly?

So he personally led a team out of the city and began to challenge the Qin army!

The Qin army immediately accepted such a challenge, but the number of Qin troops who appeared in front of Tian Hong was small, only more than 3,000 people.

The Qi army led by Tian Hong and the Qin army fought a big battle outside Juye City, and the Qin army was defeated in this battle, so they began to retreat along Jishui, slightly widening the distance between them and the Qi army.

Tian Hong saw such a scene of the Qin army, so he left 3,000 defenders in Juye City, and he led most of the Qi army to the west along Jishui. He didn't want to attack the Qin army, but to bite the back of the Qin army's ass!

At the same time, he quickly reported the news of his victory over the Qin army to the general Kuang Zhang in Pinglu, and informed him that he would personally lead the army to pursue!

However, before Kuang Zhang received news from Tian Hong, Tian Hong received an extremely shocking news: Juye was lost!

The Qin army attacking Juye was not an attack from the shore of Jishui, but an attack from behind Juye, Kang's father!

What's going on? In fact, it has to start with the decision made by Gongzihua.

After Gongzihua learned that Taoqiu was a neutral city, and the Qi army had also sent heavy troops to guard Juye, he completely rejected Gongsun Yan's proposal to him: to attack Qi along Jishui!

In his opinion, since the enemy has erected a sword and shield, he must not be able to achieve much results if he uses a sharp spear to stab!

Gongzihua adjusted the plan: he divided an army of 3,000 people as a partial division, and ordered this partial division to make a big fanfare, pretending to be the main force of the Qin army, and marched along Jishui to Taoqiu first, and then advanced towards Juye!

And the main force of the Qin army, led by Gongzihua himself, made a detour to the north!

Because the Qin army needs the Wei State to provide grain and grass, once it leaves the Wei State too far, the Qin army will lose supplies! Such a problem had to be solved, so Gongzihua ordered the remaining 17,000 or so Qin troops, each carrying five military rations, to march with him!

The main force of the Qin army first went north to defend the country, and then made a detour from the country, and suddenly sent troops to the east to take Yangjin, an important town on the north bank of the Jishui of the Qi State! When Kuang Zhang learned of this, he immediately ordered the Qi army to defend to the death, and then he sent a large army to Yangjin to support.

However, Gongzihua's attack on Yang Jin was not his real goal! After he mobilized the main force in Kuang Zhang's hands, after letting the Qi army assemble on the north bank of Jishui, he suddenly flicked a shot, went south from Yangjin, crossed Jishui and went straight to Kang's father!

After the Qin army really started moving, it was really as fast as the wind! Kang's father's defenders had just received the news: the main force of the Qin army was attacking Yangjin. And Kuang Zhang gave Kang's father's defenders an order to defend strictly, and before the defenders had time to prepare, the Qin army had already arrived at Kang's father's city!

When the Qin army arrived at the foot of Kang's father city, they didn't stop at all, and directly acted in a hurry, and actually captured Kang's father city!

Subsequently, Gongzihua did not stop at all, leaving only a small number of troops to stay behind Kang's father, leading the main force of the Qin army to return to the south to attack Juye, at this time Tian Hong was lured out of the city by the Qin army's partial division, and the Qi army in Juye City was thin, facing the Qin army, known as the army of tigers and wolves, it was impossible to beat, so Juye immediately broke through for the Qin army!

Within five days, the Qin army besieged Yang Jin, and then broke through the two cities of Qi State, Kangfu and Juye, and its use of troops was so fast that the army of Qi did not even have time to react! It's the perfect blitzkrieg!

At this time, Tian Hong, who was between the main force of the Qin army and the partial division of the Qin army, became extremely embarrassed.

In this regard, Gongzihua has no intention of staying behind, under the combined attack of the two armies, where is the opponent of the tiger wolf Qin army under the command of Tian Hong? In the vicinity of Heshui, Tian Hong's Qi army was broken by the Qin army, the Qin army beheaded 4,000, and the deputy general Tian Hong died on the spot!

The Qin army successfully joined forces, and the southern gate of Qi was completely opened to Qin!
