Chapter 776: The Lion's Big Opening (Part II)

PS: The second chapter is in the afternoon

"Monarch, it's almost over?"

Gao Wupi was dumbfounded, staring at the case in a daze and not saying a word.

"We'll see." Zhao Wuxian just guessed, but he said it well, leaving Gao Wupi alone to suspect and worry, and he looked back at the Chen fleet that was speeding downstream, and his heart was scheming.

There will be a big change in the Qi country, and the Chen family can't hold it anymore, and they can't wait to fight for power and profit in the country, so they want to make peace with the Zhao family, at least to ensure the temporary safety of the flanks. Zhao Wuxian might as well open his mouth, as for how much he can get, he doesn't have time to grab Hejian Di and Yiyi, but the Wenyang area is already in the bag of Liu Xia and Xu Cheng......

However, it was not all smooth sailing over there, and it was reported that although the Lu army that entered the Qi realm was menacing, they never broke through the defense line in front of the two cities of Dong'e and Pingyin.

The progress is not as smooth as imagined, and it seems that if you don't send the main force, you still can't attack the hinterland of Qi State. But he had to settle the affairs of the Jin Kingdom first, and he had heard of the defeat of the Han clan, and now not only was the west of Taihang not guaranteed, but even the Yiguan was in danger.

But Wuxian knows that this is temporary, as long as he goes back, he will take this army of a hundred battles and teach Zhiyao and Wei Ju to be grandsons!

He gave the order: "Hurry up and erect the pontoon bridge and prepare to cross the river!" ”

Looking back at the hurried Dongtu, he couldn't help but regret it. Even if the Marquis of Qi is dead now, Zhao Wuxian has no time to be distracted in the Qi Kingdom, so he can only let the thief take a hard bite and add some oil to the boiling pot...... He hoped that the Qi Kingdom would be chaotic for a while.

……

Although the thieves missed the battle of Wenshui more than half a month ago, they also killed several doctors who led the way for the Qi people in Donglu, so that Yan Yuan's 10,000 partial teachers returned to Muling Pass.

After that, he received an order from Zhao Wuxian, and led a division of people to make a big circle between Mount Tai and Liang's father, and entered the field of Wenyang of Qi through Jiagu, and joined the rest of the Lu army. The army is 8,000, and there are 100 ships of all sizes, forming a revenge division to crusade against the Qi country.

It seems to be a copy of the Qi people's entry into Lu a few months ago, and this time, under the leadership of some Qi captives, the thieves easily invaded the territory of the Qi country and ran rampant in the rich Wenyang field.

The Zhao clan's military orders were strict, but it was an exception for some supernumerary troops, such as Tian Ben's light soldiers, such as the army composed of the outcasts. In their own land, they demanded strict military discipline, and when they arrived in foreign countries, the judges who supervised the army and the judges who were in charge of military law turned a blind eye.

There are also well-informed military officials who timidly asked the sergeant, saying that General Zhao executed Gongzi Yangsheng and hundreds of generals and soldiers, and there were more corporal torturers, and the crime was to kill, rob, and rape on a large scale in the territory of Lu State.

The judge asked, "What nationality are you?" ”

"Judge, the villain is from Lu ......"

"Does it matter if yours is the law of Qi or the law of Lu?"

"Of course, it's Lu Lu, and there is a ban in the army."

"But Lu Lu can't control what happens in the territory of Qi, now is the time of conquest, we still have to feed the enemy, so the ban in the army has been relaxed, and the broken city will plunder the treasury and the house of the chief. Therefore, as long as you do not commit the two crimes of 'injustice' and 'injustice' that no one in the world can tolerate, I will not ask about the rest. ”

After finishing, the judge also said with a smile: "The Dali official said that unless one day the Qi State imitates Zhao Lu's cultivation law and is recognized by the general, we need to be more restrained." Unless a common legal order is established among the princes to replace the oral etiquette of the past, transnational crimes in wartime will not be investigated, and you can rest assured. ”

With this guarantee, the Lu army retaliated in the territory of Qi State, and basically robbed, captured, and eaten all the resistants. Among them, the Qi people who migrated from the north fled one after another, and most of the ancestors who were the people of the Lu State stayed, speaking a Wenyang dialect that was not much different from China, desperately explaining that they were in Qixin in Lu.

In this way, the Lu army bypassed the fortified city without fighting, and picked out those poorly defended small towns and local doctors and heroes isolated in the suburbs of the manor, and after looting the population and food, they were transported to Xu Chengzhou's division by the Jishui River, and let the Qi captives be transported back to the Lu State as slender men.

This situation lasted for nearly ten days, and the thieves and the strikers had already penetrated the field of Wenyang and attacked near the defensive gate, where they finally stopped, and one by one stood on tiptoe, looking at the line of defense on the remaining veins of Mount Tai at the end of the horizon in a daze.

That's right, the thief encountered a mixed wall of stone and earth rising from the ground, that is, the Great Wall, the Great Wall of Qi......

……

"This is the so-called land of the Great Wall of Yinyong?"

Willow was bearded and rode on a black horse, looking at the wall rising from the ground in front of him and stretching for dozens of miles, very curious.

A doctor of Qi who was captured in the battle of Wenshui was brought up, he has always been a prisoner of the thief, because the thief looks very vicious, and he has a bad reputation for digging people's hearts and livers and burning food, this doctor is so frightened that he trembles, and he doesn't need to wait for someone to whip him, and he tells everything he knows.

The Great Wall is a fortification built by the Qi State more than 100 years ago because of the fear of Jin and Chu, and the imitation of the Fang City of the Chu State. It rises and falls in the western foot of the continuous Mount Tai, although there is a flat valley place, but most of them are mountains, and the Great Wall is built according to the mountain situation. The starting point is the "Lingzitou" in the southwest of Pingyin, and it bends and twists according to the mountain situation to the east, and extends intermittently to the area of the long spoon, with a total length of two or three hundred miles, among which there are dangerous passes such as guarding the gate and garrisoning.

Rushing here, the thief is a little difficult. As far as building materials are concerned, the Great Wall is mostly made of nearby materials, and the mountain areas are built with stones because of the convenience of taking stones; The flat land was taken because there were no stones, so it was built with earth, and it was very strong. The construction of the Great Wall is purely from the military defense function of the consideration, every ten miles there are fortresses, fires, pavilions, beacon towers and other buildings, the inner city towers and barracks of the defense gate pass are all available, and the strong attack is obviously not feasible.

The five or six hundred cavalry assigned to them were not easy to move, and they had to go far to cross the Great Wall of Qi. What's more, most of the shrinking forces of the Qi army were stationed here, and the further north he went, the more fierce the resistance he encountered, and the thieves were not sure to retreat after attacking.

Soldiers can be risky moves, but there is also stability in danger, Liu Xia learned the way of using soldiers in the robbery, and returned to his old profession again, this thief did not have the slightest greed. He decisively abandoned Pingyin and Dong'e, which were heavily guarded north of the Great Wall, and instead concentrated on attacking Wenyang Zhitian, intending to cut off this county intact from Qi and eat it.

……

And a few days later, in Yiyi, Chen Bao had already rushed all the way to this point, informing Chen Heng of Zhao Wuxian's request word for word.

"This Zhao Wuxian, he has such a big appetite, and he is not afraid of being choked to death!" Chen Heng had just taken off his armor, and he had just returned with the army, and he didn't have time to take a breath, so he was about to fall into the complicated military, political and foreign affairs.

Who made him the son of the Chen family? With great power comes great responsibility.

Chen Heng rubbed his temples and sorted out his thoughts.

The army of the State of Qi and the army of the State and Gao were all wiped out in Wenshui and were detained by the Zhao family, and now within the Qi State, the Chen family is the strongest, and the situation has never been so favorable to them. But the threat of Zhao Wuxian abroad to them has never been so great.

The main force of the Zhao clan was still coiled west of the river, and their partial division attacked the field of Wenyang, and the offensive gradually subsided, but the threat to Dong'e and Pingyin was still very great, and the Chen clan's large river fleet could not go to Jishui to support.

Therefore, as long as Zhao Wuxian is still in Weilu, the Chen family will not be able to let go of his hands to fight, and even if Chen Heng comes back, he will not be able to roar towards Linzi. He had to stay here, staring at Zhao Wuxian's every move, in order to reassure Zhao, he took the initiative to send someone to contact, who expected to get back such an answer, an extremely harsh answer.

"This is Zhao Wuxian's blackmail, he didn't really negotiate with me, but put forward a harsh request that Chen could do, if I agreed to him in order to let Zhao leave, it would be hysteria!"

Anyway, Zhao Wuxian was also in a hurry to go home to put out the fire, and had already crossed the big river, so Chen Heng was not so anxious, he instructed Chen Bao: "Continue to monitor the big river, beware of the Zhao clan's sudden return to the division, as for the terms of the peace treaty...... Cut off half of his physical requirements, as for the land and city, the field of Wenyang can be given, and my family will never back down in the rest of the place! ”

Chen Heng, like Zhao Wuxian, had a casual mentality about this invitation, anyway, neither of them had their minds on the other party, and a dishonest bargain would kick and kick between them for a long time to come.

And Zhao Wuxian's guess was not bad, and the doctor who was friendly with the Chen family sent a message that Qi Hou had run out of oil and was indeed dying......

Chen Qi, who guarded the south and had the responsibility of guarding the land, finally made up his mind, he ordered Chen Heng to guard the front line of Dong'e, Pingyin, and Yiyi, and he went to Linzi in person!

A new game of thrones will be staged in Linzi, where there is only a win or a loss, and there is no middle ground!
