Chapter 1101 - Endlessly

PS: Chen Hengdong should have fled from Shao Dianyi, not Gao Mi, which is corrected here, and the second chapter is at night

……

More than 10,000 troops outside besieged the city, but there were only more than 1,000 guards inside the city, and the city walls were low, and the armor soldiers were dull. Qi Wei, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was self-aware, and he obediently obeyed Zixia's "request", opened the city gate, agreed to Lu Jun's "borrowing way", and was willing to provide Zhao Jun's rations for ten days free of charge - the total population of Qi was less than 30,000, and he would not be able to take out any more.

After that, Qi Wei handed over all the affairs to the doctors of Chun Yucheng, and ran back to the humble palace to sulk. He was angry not because of Zixia's intention to come to Qiguo for Zhao Hou to explore the way, but because he was unwilling to tell the truth and never regarded himself as a friend.

Zixia is also a gentleman, seeing Qi Wei like this, he was ashamed, under his mediation, this Lu army finally took care of Qi Guo, and the army did not enter Chunyu City, but was stationed outside. After resting for the night, they went to Yuanling, leaving only a few people to follow Zixia to take care of the back road and coordinate the grain and grass.

As Zixia said, they did come to borrow the Tao this time. The commander of this army was Ran Qiu, who made great contributions in the Zhao-Wu War, and after the war in the Huaisi area the year before last, Ran Qiu was transferred to Donglu to cooperate with the three families of Guo, Gao and Yan stationed in Jucheng to counterattack Langya.

Ju Zi, who took refuge in Qi State, had little appeal in China, and the doctors would rather take refuge in Zhao Guo than go crazy with him. The attack was very smooth, after recapturing Langya and rescuing Xu Chenghe, who had been a savage on Langya Mountain for almost a year, and the soldiers of the navy, Ran Qiu was ordered to be stationed in Ju State, and in the war of Zhao State's invasion of Qi, as the commander of the Eastern Front, in addition to the army of Donglu, there were also Yan's and Bao's family soldiers.

The State of Qi also has several sections of the Great Wall in its eastern border, extending from Muling Pass to Jimo City, but Ran Qiu has long seen that this section of the Great Wall also has a fatal weakness, that is, the Kingdom of Qi.

The State of Qi stationed heavy troops in Jimo City and Muling Pass, but the Qi Kingdom was a blank area, and Zi Xia's visit to the Qi Kingdom as a traveler also happened in this situation. Digging a section of the Great Wall, entering Chunyu along the Weishui, and then going deep into the hinterland of Qi has become the established strategy of the Eastern Front.

Now the strategy is halfway completed, but for coach Ran Qiu and many Lu people, they have always had no good impression of the country under their feet.

At that time, the Qi State was weak, sandwiched between the Qi State and the Lu State, and was often harassed, and the Lu State repeatedly attacked the Qi State and occupied the fields of the Qi State under the pretext of disrespect to the Qi State many times. In order to protect himself, Qi Guo formed an alliance with the Jin State, and Qi Yin Gong made a profitable deal: he gave his daughter to Jin Mourning Gong as a concubine, and as a result, he gave birth to Jin Pinggong.

This Qiguo is equivalent to hugging a thigh, and when Jin Pinggong grows up, he can't resist his mother's ears, and decides to support Qiguo and help them move the capital back to Chunyu. Not only that, Jin also asked Lu for Qitian for Qiguo, and Lu was forced to agree.

But secretly, the Lu people were very angry that the Jin State was too partial to the Qi Kingdom, and they said indignantly: "The Qi Kingdom is a descendant of the Xia Dynasty, and it uses Yi Li. Lu Guo is a descendant of the Duke of Zhou, and has the same surname as the Jin State. Now that the Jin Kingdom is not worried about the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, but protects the remnants of the Xia Dynasty, it is really unreasonable! It's almost the same to give all the Qi country to the Lu country, how can you damage the interests of the Lu country and fatten the country! ”

Forty or fifty years have passed since this incident, two generations, but some deep-rooted regional characters are difficult to reverse. In the minds of Ran Qiu and other Lu Guoshi, now that Lu Guo and Zhao Che have the same track and the same text, they are almost one, so they should do what the Jin State did not do back then, and merge the cities of Qi State into the territory of Lu State! As for the Qi people, it is enough to move them to a poor rural place to continue to worship the Xia Hou Clan.

However, these words were still in Ran Qiu's stomach, and he didn't say them easily. Last time, because of Sima Ziniu's death, Ran Qiu was emotional and said a lot about Nanzi and Tiandaoism, which indirectly led to Zhao Wuxian dividing the Song Kingdom and letting the Le family garrison Pengcheng, and now two years have passed, and the Song Kingdom is still in a state of division between the east and the west.

Ran Qiu is very measured and very sensitive to the relationship between monarchs and ministers, he knows that some words must be said at the right time, and he is not sure that if this battle can break Qi in one fell swoop, how Zhao Hou will treat Qi, Lu, Qi, and even Ju State.

The situation in the East is still unclear......

But one thing is certain, that is, no matter which country it is, how it is divided after the war, whether it is continuation, extinction, or rebirth, everyone must honestly stay under the new order demarcated by Zhao Hou!

In this way, at the beginning of July, Ran Qiu asked Bao Xi to lead thousands of his soldiers to drag the Qi army in Mulingguan, and let Yan Yu lead thousands of people to attack Jimo, an important eastern town in Qi, and he himself took the main force to take advantage of the blank in Qiguo, all the way north, deep into the hinterland of Qi, and drank the lower reaches of the Weihe River, which was Weifang in later generations.

Once here, Ran Qiu was close to his strategic goal.

Shao Dian, this is where Ran Qiu is about to attack!

……

Shao Dian, that is, the later generations of Shandong Changyi, here was originally the territory of Dongyi Laiyi, two hundred years ago, after the conquest of Qi Zhuang Gong here, began to set up Shao Palace, after two centuries of development, here has been developed well, by Qi as the capital of the East, with a prosperous city group, the population of nearly 100,000, the salt industry and fishing are very developed, is the core area of Jiaoxi.

In addition to the economic development, this place is also the Wei River in the south, the sea in the north, the mountains and rivers are belted, and the shield is shielded

The east and west are the important places connecting Linzi and Donglai, so when Zhao Wuxian was formulating his strategy, he asked Ran Qiu of the Eastern Front to take this as the end point of his march.

It's a pity that Ran Qiu still came a few days late, and he learned that just a few days ago, Chen Heng had come to the Shao Palace with thousands of people from Linzi, but he didn't make too many stops, leaving some soldiers to break off, and then crossed the Weishui and Jiaolai rivers and continued eastward.

"This Chen Heng is really more cunning than a fox, with a dog-like nose." Ran Qiu knew that Chen Heng was the most difficult enemy of the king, not because he was strong, but because he persevered in opposing Zhao Hou, probably because they were all thieves who stole the country?

If Chen Heng can be killed or captured, it must be a great achievement, and this time he let him run away, Ran Qiu can't help but feel a little regretful.

However, he still intercepted Chen Heng's tail, and Chen Bao, a member of the Chen clan, came over with a group of nobles and people in the rear, but he was blocked by the Lu army and was not allowed to advance, so that the Qi country was divided into two sections, east and west.

Ran Qiu was cautious, and did not rush across Weishui to pursue Chen Heng, the Donglai area is hilly, and it is easy to suffer if you are not familiar with the terrain and transportation. His mission was to conquer the Shao Palace, strangle Donglai, and then go west to join Zhao Wuxian.

In early July, after nearly ten days of fierce battles, the panicked Shao Hall was finally overcome, Ran Qiu left more than 1,000 people to stay here, then took the main force to the west, July 15, Jinan, the Great Wall, Jiaoxi three armies completed the division, in addition to the capital and Donglai, the rest of the Qi country has been conquered by the Zhao Lu army.

In this way, nearly 100,000 troops surrounded Linzi, the society of Qi State, and the survival of the Chen family were endless! (To be continued.) )
