Chapter 389: Hope of Return

Yiyi is located east of the Yellow River, close to the Gaotang of the Qi Kingdom. The name of this place may be related to the indigenous Dongyi people, but by the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, it became the capital of the Xing Kingdom.

In the eighteenth year of King Hui of Zhou (659 B.C.), Chidi attacked Xing (Xingyi of the Jin State), Xing collapsed, and moved the capital to Yiyi after being rescued by the Duke of Qi Huan, and Qi, Song, Cao and other countries built cities for it.

In the eighteenth year of King Xiang of Zhou (635 B.C.), Wei Guo destroyed Xing, Yiyi entered the Wei, in the process of Jin and Chu hegemony, as a punishment for Wei Guo from Chu, it became the city of Jin again, the fief of Zhongxing. This is also the bridgehead for the Jin army to attack Qi in the east, the battle of Qi, the battle of Pingyin, and every shame of the Qi people began here.

But this time, Qi Hou intends to let the shame end from now on, and so does the pile of chicken bones that fall asleep from time to time!

The long sword on his waist came out of his sheath, Qi Hou had an axe in his left hand, a light Lu in his right hand, and Hu Bendong Guo Shu, Li Mi, Yi Wuchang and others opened their spears and banners behind him, just like the Taigong Wang who used geese to march in the battle of Muye!

Forty thousand pairs of eyes stared at him, and at this moment, the pestle seemed to feel the soul possession of the ancestors of Qi Taigong, Xuan Gong, and Huan Gong.

The leather armor seemed to make Qi Hou regain his youth and ability, his hair fluttered in the wind, and the axe was lightly raised: "Huh! My friend Tsukasa Jun, imperial affairs: Marshal of Wuxiang, Township Liangren, Company Commander, Li Yousi, Rail Commander, and private Yiren and Lairen. Called Ergo, Bilgan, Lierspear, swear alone! ”

"Jin, the great enemy of my third world, the battle of the Gong, the princess is easy to disguise, the mother of the country is almost a pledge, and the acres are almost eastward; In the battle of Pingyin, Linggong's car circled Huabu three times, and the four gates of Linzi were burned...... The second and third sons also saw the affairs of the ancestors. Shame on all of them. Today, the kid is not talented, and he wants to be ashamed of this. Fight for the heavens! ”

He then counted the crimes of the Jin State as a hegemon and unkind, and wantonly annexed the same surname country Ruyu and Yu. The brutality of colluding with Yiluo Zhirong to bully the Son of Heaven, as well as the cruelty of the Liuqing to blackmail Zhu Xia and make the nations miserable. He vowed to knock this dark force to the ground and return the hegemony of the Qingming and fair reign of the Duke of Qi Huan era to Zhu Xia.

As soon as the words fell, all the people shouted and boiled in unison, like a tiger like a pig, like a bear, and the earth seemed to tremble.

Qi Hou believes that this oath. It will be the same as "Willing Oath" and "Pastoral Oath" that will be passed down through the ages, although Yang Hu tempted him to attack Lu with bad intentions, but there is a saying that is right, this is the first battle to win the power of Dinghe!

Only Chen Heng, who was chanting together, sneered, this time to attack Yiyi, he Chen conscripted a large number of laborers in the name of the Marquis of Qi, and the clan soldiers took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the vicinity of the Yellow River to attack Xiaoyi, "intercept the main force of the Jin State to come to help". The anxious Qi Hou couldn't wait for the arrival of the villagers in Donglai and other places. With the army of Dong'e and Pingyin, commanded by Guoxia, ready to attack!

"Go to war. The second is to cut the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the siege is the next. It's not that you don't understand this truth, but you are desperate to seek hegemony in your lifetime...... This time, I am afraid that the subordinates of the country will suffer a lot of losses. When the city was laid, this place was very close to Gaotang. As long as the means are appropriate, Yiyi's Xing people will inevitably fall into the flowing water, not into my Chen's pocket! ”

……

Qi Guo's strategic deception was very successful this time, which was really unexpected by the Lu people, and it was also Lu Guo's habit of blocking guns for the Jin people, and as soon as the Qi people mobilized, they thought that they would come to beat themselves. So the crying and crying, the shrunken head, the huddle of the group, but after the dark clouds were thick, the storm went elsewhere, which made people a little unacceptable for a while.

Lu Hou shouted for the protection of the spirits of King Wen and Zhou Gong, and Sanhuan breathed a sigh of relief, Confucius was fortunate that Lu was free from swords and soldiers, and Zilu did not have to risk arrows and stones.

After the luck of the rest of their lives, the minds of the Lu people also changed, for example, the doctors of Xilu had relied on Zhao Wuxian's military strength before, and the thoughts of forming alliances with each other had faded a lot. Dr. Fan Yi even proposed that everyone should be in peace and forget about each other......

Wuxian also has a sense of loss after accumulating strength, but he can't allow the Xilu Alliance to fall apart before the battle, even if the Qi people don't come, a few towns in the north have the effect of blocking guns for themselves, how can you spit out what you eat in your mouth, you must be co-opted.

At this time, it was already the beginning of September, and more than half a month had passed after the meeting of Xiaqiu, which was enough for Zhao Wuxian to install a lot of people in Xilu and various towns, such as the military officers stationed in various towns in the name of guiding defense affairs, and began to spread among their colleagues who were just familiar with each other.

"The Xilu joint defense is not without benefits, it is precisely because of Xiao Sikou's preparation that the Qi army was jealous, and finally changed the goal, this is the so-called victory before the battle!"

So the credit for not coming this time was quietly taken away by Zhao Wuxian.

Wuxian also advised the doctors: "Although the Qi army went to Yiyi, but they have always been cunning, who knows if it is a ploy, maybe the country and Gao Erqing will ambush the main force nearby, just wait for the Xilu provinces to relax their defenses, and they can go down with a drum!" ”

According to the news sent back by Yu Xi and other probe horses, the Qi people gathered troops in batches this time, and only brought about 40,000 with them, plus the follow-up baggage, no more than 50,000. I don't know if the remaining tens of thousands of stealth combat forces have not been mobilized, or are they on their way to the west?

At least, there are indeed thousands of Qi soldiers in the Dong'e and Pingyin areas eyeing Xilu, and Wuxian is guarding against them, and they are also guarding against Zhao Wuxian's attack on the flank of Qi's main force......

As a result, the doctors who were frightened by Wuxian began to worry again, and no one mentioned the matter of breaking up for the time being.

……

"Claiming to hit the east, but actually hitting the west, a good way for the people of Qi to play......" Kan Zhi touched his bearded chin and was surprised.

It has been a few days since the news of the Qi people's attack on Yiyi came, and the soldiers and advisers under Wuxian gathered in the Liqiuyi Temple, gathered in front of the map to discuss countermeasures.

The Tiger Society has fought many battles with Zhao Ying, and has worked with Post Wuzheng, who is good at using soldiers, and is very familiar with the internal military affairs of the Jin Kingdom.

"The Jin army attacked Qi in the east, and there were generally only two ways, one was to cross the country and go northeast along Jishui from Luxi, and the other was to attack from Yiyi through Dongyang of the Zhongxing clan, so Yiyi was like a thorn in the eye of the Qi people."

Kan Zhi interjected: "In this way, it is better to fight the west of the Lu country. Attacking Yiyi is much more important, Zhang Zi said before the war that the Qi people's attack on Xilu is confusing. Now it is not the case. ”

Wu Xian said: "It seems that Qi people are plotting to destroy Yiyi, not a one-day plan." It's right to think about it, the Gaotang Chen clan is next to it, how can the Zhongxing clan be entrenched for a long time? The second and third sons will talk about it today to see if Yiyi can hold it, and if it can't hold it, what kind of impact it will have on the situation. ”

Hu Hui said: "Yiyi has been operated by Xing, Wei, and the Bank of China for a hundred years, the city is strong and the pond is deep, and tens of thousands of troops are sent to attack, if there is no help." Although it is only a matter of time before it falls, it is no problem to hold on for more than a month, and it may be possible to wait until the Jin army arrives. ”

Now the news of the Qi people's distress should have reached the Jin Kingdom, before Qi wanted to attack the west, only the Zhao family because of their carelessness, gathered an army and was ready to rush to help. Now there is a division of people who have arrived in Wendi, plus the army of Wen Dafu Zhao Luo, can send 5,000 troops.

Zhang Mengtan, who was sitting at the bottom of Zhao Wuxian, calculated in his heart and rolled up his wide sleeves. The pale and slender finger pointed in the direction of the Jin Kingdom: "But Fan and the Bank of China are not very prepared, this time they are in a hurry to fight, the land of Dongyang, the drums, the fat, and the cypress, and the Bank of China can send more than 10,000 troops." The area of the song of the court. The Fan clan can also provide more than 10,000 soldiers, and they are still at a disadvantage compared to the Qi people. ”

Wuxian to the north of Chaoge, south of the Bai people. sneered: "Meng Tan, don't forget, there is also the Handan clan who is related to the Bank of China clan. They have the big county of Handan, and there are several cities. Nearly 10,000 pawns can be produced. Junzi Ze V was beheaded, and Handan had already listened to the orders of the Zhao clan, but became an ally of the Bank of China. ”

Zhang Mengtan nodded, he was the one who witnessed the conflict between Zhao Wuxian and Handan Ji in the Pan Palace of the Jin Kingdom.

"Now the autumn harvest in some parts of the Jin Kingdom has not ended, from the beginning of the assembly, the management of troops to the road, the reinforcements in these places can probably be driven to Yiyi in a month, although they still can't face the Qi people directly, but let them have some worries, and they don't dare to storm the city."

"In this way, although the Qi people succeeded in strategic deception, it was not a sure victory, could it be that they had any backhand?"

Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan's eyes were fixed on the southern end of the map......

"And the defense of the country!" After a moment, they said in unison.

Wuxian's tone was hurried: "Since the last Yingze Alliance, Wei Hou has always had resentment against the Jin State and against me for taking Zhen Yi, and he has wanted to break away from the control of the Jin State for a long time. This time the Qi State attacked Jin, which was a good time to betray Jin again. Although I don't know what kind of agreement Wei Hou and Qi have reached, judging from the current situation, if the Fan clan and the Handan clan are preparing to support Yiyi, and the Wei army suddenly moves out and invades the territory of the Jin State, the armies of these two families will have to postpone the time of eastward advance and win time for the Qi people to pull out the city! ”

The Tiger Society also agreed: "That's right, after the Yiyi is removed, the northeast side of the country will be completely surrounded by the Qi people, which is very important to remove the Jin State and the Lu State from the Wei Kingdom." At the same time, the Qi army can also confront the Jin State across the Yellow River, if the situation changes, at any time and Qi Zhuang Gongshi, the main force penetrates Dongyang, directly into the rich Handan, Chaoge, Nanyang and other places, Dengtaihang, the county east of the Yangjiban will be shocked every day! ”

With the real-time information transmitted by Yu Xi and other scouting horses, with the fragmentary news heard by Zigong's subordinate merchants, coupled with the Tiger Society's understanding of the internal military strength of the Jin State, combined with Zhang Mengtan's ability to deduce the situation, the purpose of the Qi people's nationwide battle gradually dissipated.

The current situation is that if the situation is fulfilled one by one as they deduced, and the Qi army conquers Yiyi, it will win the initiative in this war for hegemony!

Ran Qiu listened quietly most of the time, and at this time he had a plan in his mind, and said: "Looking at the situation, only the five thousand Zhao clan divisions in Wendi, as well as the thousands of soldiers and soldiers of Si Kou, can form a flank attack on the country. In this way, it will make it impossible for Wei Hou to smoothly implement the plan negotiated with Qi State, prevent Qi people from pulling out Yiyi, and prevent Qi State from gaining war advantages, which will be a great achievement afterwards! ”

"Perhaps, Si Kou will be able to return to the Jin Dynasty because of this!"

For a while, everyone stopped discussing, the room was silent, and several eyes were fixed on the lord Zhao Wuxian, their emotions were different, Jin Renhu and others were eager in their light, and Lu Ren Kan Zhi and others were a little worried in their eyes.

And Zhang Mengtan, the first strategist, pursed the corners of his mouth and lowered his head to play a chess piece that he picked up.

Wuxian knows that it is a black "pawn", and he can only walk straight at home, but he can cross the river but can run rampant. (To be continued......)
