PS: It's late again...... Forgive me, ask for a wave recommendation vote.

Dong'e is located on the Heji Plain, this place with Taidai, Heji, to the south can approach the Lu country, to the west can contact the Wei country, the boat and car are all connected, Yi is the key to Jin, is gradually being operated by the Qi country to become an important town in the southwest, and it is also the base camp of the Qi army in the war against Lu.

The high-crowned fur Qi Hou pestle mortar is obviously much thinner than a few years ago, his originally ruddy face has become burnt yellow, and the hunchback is becoming more and more obvious. After all, he is an old man over sixty years old, and his good ministers and famous generals Sima Sui Tho and Yan Ying have passed away one after another, so Qi Hou always feels that Si Ming will also come to hook his soul at any time.

Walking and walking, seeing the flowers and plants flourishing in the Dong'a Palace, he couldn't help but sigh: "Beautiful palace! I don't know if the widow can enjoy the respect of the princes in Huangquan after his death! ”

As the old age approached, he would feel self-hurt and weep from time to time, but there was no longer Yan Ying's spicy sarcasm of "My monarch will stand in the acres and work hard to farm", and some were just the sycophants of the ministers. For a while, the surrounding ministers such as Ah Dafu said that the Marquis of Qi would live for a hundred years, and even the magicians in the seaside area offered by the Chen family took the opportunity to say that they could take a boat to go to sea and go to the legendary Three Immortal Mountains to ask for immortal medicine for the Marquis of Qi.

"Can people really not die? If Lone can not die, then there is a little more hope for seizing the position of overlord when he is alive! ”

After returning from the defeat in the snow field, perhaps because he was frightened by a cold at that time, Qi Hou felt that his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he would be chilled all over his body on a hot day, and only after taking the pill offered by the warlock could he be shocked, continue to enjoy the concubines in the palace, and muster up the courage to plot his own "hegemony"!

The Qi State lost nearly 20,000 troops in the battle of Yiyi and the Snow Plain. Linzi and Dong'e and other places are plain. This made Qi Hou Jiujiu dare not recruit soldiers for four years, and he endured the Song Rebellion. He was powerless to intervene in the Lu Rebellion, and the princes of Sishang had to give up one by one. Until last year, the Zhao family was involved in the civil war of the Jin State Secretaries. After transferring most of the Ludi soldiers, Qi Hou saw the opportunity he had not seen for a long time.

"This time, what Zhao Wuxian has to face is no longer the Qi country, it is the whole world!"

Fighting against the wall and pushing everyone, the bold Qi Hou joined the anti-Zhao alliance and began to attack the Lu State. Qi Qing Gao Zhang once swore to analyze him, saying that this war should last for a long time, so he could slowly try to use the offensive of the autumn harvest to weaken the strength of the Lu State. In the following year, they will encroach on it, and when the Zhao forces are driven out of the Lu State and the three Huan of the Lu State are supported to be restored, they will be able to continue to go west and join the secretaries of the Jin State to encircle the main force of the Zhao family.

This is in line with the psychology of Qi Hou, so the Qi army fought extremely conservatively in this war.

However, Zhao's wave of fast pace frustrated their plan, this side has just begun the spring offensive against the Lu State, and Fan, Zhongxing, and Handan have already been defeated, and the Zhao family has no worries to send troops eastward and begin to besiege and defend the country!

Facing Wei Houyuan's rescue. Qi Hou Jiujiu hesitated for a long time, and when he couldn't make a choice, he sent letters to his two important ministers, Chen Qi and Guoxia, asking for the opinions of the two commanders in the west and the south.

Soon. Erqing's reply was in the hands of Qi Hou.

"Chen Qing proposes to save the guard!" Qi Hou was shocked.

The ministers and nobles around the Marquis of Qi looked at each other, what was the idea of the Chen family?

After reading the letter, Qi Hou said, "Chen Qing thinks." The princes only defend everything, if they don't even defend the country, they don't save it. Qi Guo completely lost all his friends. What's more, the great trouble of Qi is in Zhao and not in Lu. If the Zhao family defends the country, then Dong'a, Pingyin, and Yiyi are all under its edge, so the guard must not be saved. He also said a good news, saying that Chen Heng had led his army to cross the river and march west to attack the Zhao family's Handan City, and the enemy would be saved. If the Zhao family returns to the teacher, even if the Chen family is broken, they must hold back their footsteps, so that the widow can rest assured that he will take the Lu country......"

Reading this, Qi Hou couldn't help but put down the letter and exclaimed: "Good! Although Xiao Chen Heng is young, he has the courage to be a loyal minister, Chen's father and son think about the country everywhere, they are really loyal ministers! ”

The doctors and generals of Qi Guo below stared wide-eyed, disapproving Qi Hou's compliment, in fact, what the Chen family was doing, anyone with a little wisdom could guess it. It's just that some people are still pretending to be confused, or is the game of princes and ministers so hypocritical?

Chen Qi also appealed at the end: "If the Zhao family does not return to the division, the dog has a plan: I hope that the king can command the army to the west, and the servants will attack the Zhao family between the mulberry and the Pushang!" ”

I don't know who wrote this letter, and it was written passionately, and even Dr. Ah couldn't help but praise Chen's loyalty when he read it. In addition, there are many practical analyses in the letter, Chen Qi said that according to his spies' investigation, the army brought by Zhao Wuxian was not much, about 20,000 people, half of which were conscripted from the newly occupied areas such as Hanoi and Hebei, which were not considered combat strength, and they could be used to work during the siege of the city, but in the real field battle, they could only be the ones who filled the ravines, so there was nothing to worry about.

This information made Qi Hou pestle and his spirit lifted, and he counted on his fingers, counting the Duyi soldiers, the Gongzu army and the private soldiers of Guo, Gao, Bao, and Yan, he could transfer 40,000 people to the west, plus the nearly 20,000 people made up by the Chen family, the defenders of Diqiu had an absolute advantage over Zhao Wuxian!

However, if he went west to rescue the guards, he would collide head-on with Zhao Wuxian, and it would be difficult for Qi Hou not to think of the past.

He vividly remembers the situation of the battle in the snowfield, it was really cold that winter, and outside of his own car, the image of the young man who immediately held a spear was also in his mind. For this reason, Qi Hou has a shadow of the field battle with Zhao Jun, and at the same time hopes to have the opportunity to wash away the shame of the past.

Qi Hou was still thinking about it, that defeat was the result of his inability to command the army, what if he let Guoxia, who was good at military warfare, command it this time? Maybe you can win.

"Didn't Duke Qi Huan still fight the Battle of the Long Spoon? But after that, he won five battles and five victories against the Lu State, and directly attacked the city of Qufu, if it weren't for Cao Mo's robbery, maybe the Lu State would have ceded Mount Tai! ”

In the end, he comforted himself so much, with a hint of wanting to go west, Qi Hou opened the urgent mail sent by Guoxia again. My heart suddenly cooled down, Guo Xia's suggestion was completely opposite to Chen Qi!

……

"Guozi suggested that Xilu be captured first, and then plan to go west to save the defense......"

When he said this, Qi Hou obviously felt that the doctors below were slightly relieved, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, could it be that the Qi people were afraid that the Zhao family would be like this?

However, Guoxia's reason is also very sufficient: "The Zhao family's siege is because the situation in the Lu country is critical, and they want to induce the Qi army to advance westward." Such a general trend has been achieved, and it only takes one month for the servants to attack the city of Yun and cut off the connection between the Zhao army and the Lu state. At that time, it will take more than a month to attack Qufu, and divide the secretary of Lu, and the ownerless Lu country will definitely collapse, and it will not be too late to go west to rescue the guard. ”

Guoxia and Chen Qi both had a reason, for a while, Qi Hou was entangled, and he just wished that Qi Guo could recruit more than ten or ten thousand troops, so that they could be divided into two, and both sides would bite and hold on.

He paced back and forth in the palace, and every once in a while he asked the erector: "Where is Baozi?" ”

Bao Zi is Bao Mu, one of the four secretaries of Qi, he is the descendant of Bao Shuya, and he is also the secretary that Qi Hou has relied on very much in recent years.

Faced with the strategic differences between Chen and the second secretary of state, Qi Hou was a little undecided, so he wanted to listen to Bao Mu's suggestion, a neutral suggestion.

After waiting for a while, Bao Mu finally came, although he was Xinqing, he was not young, he was nearly sixty years old, and he blamed his father Bao Guo for being too able to live, and he did not die until he was ninety years old, so that Bao Mu's hair turned from black to gray.

After he inherited the throne, he was in charge of diplomacy with the princes, and now the army of Qi is exhausted, and the Marquis of Qi himself has also gone to the front line, and Gao Zhang is staying behind in Linzi, and Bao Mu is running around, contacting the princes and doctors who can fight for the Marquis of Qi everywhere.

Because if you want to win the war, you must rely not only on the spear, but also on the pen and silk, as well as the incorruptible tongue of the lobbyist!

Bao Mu came back from the field, and just stepped into the palace, facing Qi Hou's question, Bao Mu bowed solemnly to him and said: "The servants don't understand military affairs, how can they talk nonsense?" But this time, it also happened that the minister was receiving a distinguished guest from a foreign country on behalf of the king, and he also came to Dong'a with me. The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, this distinguished guest is also a person who knows military strategy, it is better for the king to meet him and ask his opinion, what is it? ”

"Foreigners?" Qi Hou scratched his head and thought about it, the older he is, the worse his memory becomes.

After a while, a strange color bloomed in his eyes, and he almost jumped up: "The widow remembers, Bao Zi once mentioned to me, could it be 'him'?" ”

"It's 'him'! Would you like to see it? ”

"See! Such a genius is naturally to be seen! Qi Hou was very happy, and looked down at his regular clothes, and immediately frowned, and hurriedly asked the vertical man to help him change into a solemn court dress, for fear that his casual attitude would disfavor the distinguished guest, this kind of talent is very proud, and it must be a corporal of Lixian.

As soon as he fixed the Xuanduan on his bun, the singing of the erectors and guards outside came in, and Bao Mu had already led the guest to the gate of the courtyard!

Qi Hou hurriedly fastened the silk belt, and carefully sorted out the placket in front of the bronze jian, and then put on a rich smiling face and went out of the door to greet him in person.

Bao Mu happened to walk in, he walked a little forward as an introducer, and behind him was a tall, resolute doctor with an old-fashioned face.

I couldn't take my eyes off Qi Hou just one glance, this person is too distinctive, the most interesting thing is that although his face is about ten years younger than Bao Mu, but under the crown, he is full of pale hair!

It's exactly the same as the rumors! Qi Hou thought so, but saw that the footsteps of the two stopped twenty steps in front of Qi Hou. Seeing Qi Hou, the white-haired doctor's complexion did not change at all, as if he was used to seeing strong winds and waves. He put his hands in his wide sleeves and waited for the salute, in the face of the seven-life princes like the Marquis of Qi, if he didn't come over to bow down first, at least he had to be a qing! And he is also the secretary of a great power!

And Bao Mu stepped forward and introduced the two.

"Doctor, this is the uncle of the Zhou family, the territory is as far as the sea in the east, the river in the west, Muling in the south, and Wudi in the north.

He pointed to the white-haired doctor again and said: "Your Majesty, this is the Wu army who commanded the Wu army to destroy Xu, break Chu, destroy Yingdu, and dig the grave of King Chuping and whip the corpse!" (To be continued.) )
