Chapter 284: Killing a General for No Reason
Duke Qi Huan took the initiative to ask to be the leader of the anti-Qin alliance, and after being recognized by various countries, Duke Qi Huan immediately put forward a new request.
The Nine-Nation Coalition attacked Qin, and Wu and Yue contained each other, and all countries could rest assured, but in Zhongshan and Yan, which were in the rear of the Nine Kingdoms, if they suddenly sent troops when the anti-Qin coalition army and the Qin army were in the middle of the war, what would happen to attack the rear of each country?
Therefore, Qi Huan proposed that Yan and Zhongshan send troops together, otherwise the anti-Qin alliance would first eliminate Yan and Zhongshan to ensure the safety of the rear.
After Qi Huangong's opinion was sent to various countries, although everyone understood that this was Qi Guo's targeting Zhongshan and Yan, the two countries adjacent to Qi, Qi Huangong's words were indeed very reasonable, and in order to ensure the safety of the rear of the anti-Qin alliance, all countries agreed with Qi Huangong's opinion.
Forced by the prestige of the 1.5 million army of the anti-Qin alliance, Zhongshan and Yan had to send troops, and the Duke of Qi Huan also specified the number of troops to be sent to these two countries.
As the eighth vassal state of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhongshan should have taken out troops above the Song, Lu, and Wei countries, and should send 80,000 troops.
As one of the Seven Heroes of the Zhou Dynasty, although Yan Guo is the seven heroes at the bottom of the ranking, it should at least send more than 150,000 troops.
As a result, under the coercion of the anti-Qin alliance, Zhongshan and Yan had no choice but to send troops in accordance with the regulations of Qi Huangong, and the anti-Qin alliance expanded to eleven countries with a lineup of 1.55 million troops.
Externally, the Duke of Qi Huan is known as the two million army of the anti-Qin alliance, and he is bound to destroy Qin in a war.
When Qin Mugong was rectifying the soldiers and horses, and when Qi Huangong coerced Yan and Zhongshan to send troops, there was an inconsistency in everyone's opinions in the camp of the Chinese army in the Tiger Prison Pass.
Xiong Fang, Xiang Yan and Chun Shenjun of Chu believed that they should take advantage of the fact that the Qin army had not yet arrived and the Hangu Pass army was unsettled, and sent troops to fight quickly and capture the Qin State Heavenly Danger - Hangu Pass, which blocked the advance of the anti-Qin alliance.
The original leader of the anti-Qin alliance, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, also had some intentions, wanting to attack when the Qin army had not arrived and the army's morale was unstable.
The steady faction such as Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, Lian Po, Zhao Hao, Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, Meng Weijun Tianwen and other stable factions refused everyone's request to go to war on the grounds that the army was tired and the grain and grass were still being transported one after another, and it was inconvenient to fight for a long time.
A big war is brewing.
As soon as everyone was discussing how to capture Hangu Pass, someone outside the camp suddenly reported that Qi Huan's bus came.
"My king traveled far away in a light car, and the country was not guarded, and the danger was too much. I ask the king to return to the kingdom immediately. ”
Facing the Duke of Qi Huan, Meng Weijun Tianwen approached and said in a low voice.
"People say that Meng tastes the heroism of the monarch, before the army, how can there be such no weather?"
Qi Huan Gong sneered for a while, and then turned to soothe in a low voice.
"This king doesn't have much to do, and he will return as soon as he motivates the soldiers."
The king was right. Please ask the general to give the order quickly, and the generals of the eleven countries will rush to the big tent of the Chinese army. ”
Nodding respectfully, Meng Weijun turned around and commanded.
Meng Weijun accompanied Qi Huan Gong all the way through the military camp, and described in detail the location of each army, the high morale of the military camp, and the internal turmoil of the Qin State.
"Qin was angry, with one enemy and eleven, the coalition army destroyed Qin as a knife to kill chickens."
Although Qi Huan Gong was not excited, he listened carefully and said with a faint smile.
"I don't dare to say that the knife kills the chicken, but the odds are quite big."
Meng Weijun said.
"How long does Meng Weijun think this war will take?"
Qi Huan is fair.
"It's about a month."
Meng Weijun groaned.
"One month...... That's enough. ”
Qi Huan Gong was silent for a moment, suddenly burst out of a sentence, and then immediately said solemnly: "No matter how the situation changes, Meng Weijun only needs to stabilize the army of the eleven countries." It is best to be able to fight across the Qin State, but as long as you don't lose, it's a credit. ”
"Could it be that my king has other plans?"
Meng Weijun couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the fog cover of the clouds and mountains.
"The secret of heaven must not be leaked, just fight."
Qi Huan Gong laughed.
Meng Weijun was impatient with Qi Huangong's sudden intervention in the anti-Qin coalition army, and heard that the king had another plan in his heart, but he was helpless, so he had no choice but to deal with it silently.
After entering the big tent to rest for a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, and the generals of various countries, together with the adjutant generals and the baggage generals, came one after another, and it was full of tents.
"Alliance leader King Qi, come to the river to reward the three armies, please ask King Qi to instruct!"
Meng Weijun raised the tent and said in a loud voice.
"Long live King Qi!"
As soon as the generals heard the reward of the rich King of Qi, they were greatly excited, and they all shouted together.
In a moment, the fully dressed Qi Huan Gong strode out of the account under the guidance of Meng Weijun.
There is a red balance crown without tassels on his head, a purple embroidered gold cloak, bronze soft armor, which is what the people of the time call gold armor, a pair of knee-high cowhide combat boots under his feet, and a three-foot-long broad-body sword in his left hand.
In addition to the generals of the Qi State, some people couldn't help but gently "Wow!" "Yes. It turned out that Qi Huan Gong's outfit was peculiar but it was an inexplicable combination of the general's armor, the commander's cloak, the king's balance crown, and the knight's broad-body sword, coupled with Qi Huan's thin and shrewd strange appearance, it was suddenly grotesque!
If it weren't for the big tent of the Chinese army, and the affirmation that it was the leader of the alliance, King Qi, these straightforward generals would definitely be in an uproar.
"Generals, this king personally came to the battle array, inspired the three armies, and rewarded each army with 100 barrels of wine, 1000 gold, 100 cattle, sheep and pigs!"
Qi Huan Gong finally opened his mouth arrogantly and reservedly.
"Long live King Qi!"
The generals were very surprised, and shouted at the top of their voices, and the big tent was puffed up.
"It's just that the king must affirm that there is a limit to rewards and punishments, but such a reward cannot be given to the country of prevarication."
As soon as the words turned, Qi Huan Gong's eyes swept away, and the big tent suddenly fell silent.
The generals knew that Qi Huan Gong was really not good, and their eyes widened in surprise, not knowing who this "East China Sea Qingjiao" was going to ask?
Meng Weijun was even more nervous, and intuitively felt that tonight's big event was not good, but Qi Huan Gong was the monarch of Qi Guo, but he was also helpless, and suddenly his eyes swept to Qi Huan Gong's side Yan Storm, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
"With Mr. Guan Zhong giving advice to the king, this matter is at most unfavorable to the coalition army, but it is beneficial to the Qi country, what am I worried about here?"
After thinking about it, Meng Weijun sank down.
"Who is the leader of the Yan Kingdom?"
At this time, Qi Huan Gong saw that there was a solemnity in the big tent, and suddenly asked in a long voice.
"The last general, Zhang Kui, see King Qi!"
There was a man standing in the front row, but he was dark and thin, with gray hair and shabby clothes, and compared with the generals in the tent who were clearly clothed and energetic, he was like an ordinary veteran.
"Zhang Kui?" Qi Huan Gong smiled coldly, "The name is bright, what is the official position?" ”
"Report to the King of Qi, the last general will be appointed as a ritual!"
Zhang Kui is full of confidence.
"Xingyi? Hmph, not even a general, how many soldiers and horses did you bring? ”
"Report to King Qi, according to the regulations of the coalition army, the last general will lead 150,000 troops to participate in the battle!"
Zhang Kuitang is right.
"150,000, all veterans and new soldiers, right?"
His eyes suddenly narrowed coldly, and Qi Huan Gong smiled lightly.
"King Qi Mingjian, although he is a recruit and a veteran, he still serves the battlefield!"
"Bold Zhang Kui!"
Qi Huangong, who was still smiling, suddenly became angry.
"150,000 recruits and veterans, a good manner, came to catch up with the world's Dali City? Yan Guo is so calculating! If other families bleed, will your family divide the land? ”
"King Qi is bad! Yan Guo did not send troops, nor was he greedy for Qin land, my king remembered the origin of Yan Qi, and was ordered by the coalition army to send 150,000 volunteers, and brought his own military rations, how is it to rush to the city? ”
Zhang Kui arched his hand and said loudly.
"Nonsense! Who doesn't bring their own military rations? is obviously insatiable and greedy, and he dares to speak out and be ashamed to call himself a righteous soldier? Come! Push Zhang Kui out and behead him! ”
Qi Huangong's face suddenly changed, and his voice was fierce.
This time, it was full of surprise.
Although the generals of various countries have contempt for the recruits and veterans of Yan State, because Zhang Kui has already stated in the army that Yan State does not distinguish Qin and soil, it is only for the name of the whole coalition army, so he no longer embarrass Zhang Kui.
Now that Duke Qi Huan has not started a war, he is going to kill the generals of other countries, which is really the first time in the Warring States Alliance, and the generals are suddenly panicked.
"King Qi, if you don't send troops, you will behead the generals first, but I'm afraid it's not a good omen. Besides, it is also true that the country has been in war for several years, and the country is poor and weak, even if the soldiers are weak, why is it a capital crime? The king of Qi is as open-minded as the East China Sea, and if he forgives Zhang Kui, he will be able to make the Yan army fight desperately. ”
After a moment of silence in the big tent, Xiong Fang suddenly stood up and said.
"Sophistry! Killing a Zhang Kui is a bad omen? Put a Zhang Kui is the East China Sea? This king is the leader of the alliance, and there is no need to wait for anyone to be killed! ”
After Qi Huan Gong glanced at the bear's side, he said indifferently.
Then Qi Huan Gong gave an order, and four ironclad warriors rushed into the big tent to capture Zhang Kui, and on the way out of the big tent, Zhang Kui scolded, but Qi Huan Gong turned his back and ignored it.
"Send Zhang Kui's head to Jicheng overnight, I will kill his generals, and see what this Yan King has to say!"
Subsequently, all the generals turned pale, and they all came out of the tent, passing by Qi Huangong, but no one made a salute, and Qi Huangong didn't care, and said to the player on his side.
"The king has gone. After three days, if King Yan bows his head and pleads guilty, he will let 150,000 Yan soldiers survive and let them be the main force to attack Qin, otherwise, they will be beheaded in one piece! ”
After receiving the order of the King of Qi, Yan Storm immediately left the big tent of the Chinese army, Meng Weijun had been waiting quietly, and the Duke of Qi Huan suddenly said to him.
"Wechen takes orders."
With a long sigh, Meng Weijun said.
After three days, the scout Pegasus came to report, and the king of Yan sent an envoy to the king of Qi to ask for guilt, believing that the election would be a failure, and re-sent the general Fan Xuan to lead the army.
Meng Weijun was very suspicious and thought that there was something strange about this matter, so he came to the Chu army tent to talk to Chun Shenjun.
"Meng Weijun, I don't think this is a good sign. Don't forget, Yan Guo Ji Ping is a promising king, and he has more talents such as Le Yi and Drama Xin. It was obviously bullied by Qi State, but he couldn't bear it, he could only say that this feud was deeper, and King Yan couldn't bear it now! ”
Chun Shen Jun said.
