Chapter 326: The Battle of Huaishui
Feng Shangqing, a county with thousands of households in the fief, hereditary replacement?
This is indeed full of temptation for thieves.
Wu Wang Qingji did not treat the thief badly.
After all, compared with Sun Ping, Wu Zixu, Sun Wu and other meritorious heroes, the reward for thieves is already amazing.
Because, even Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, who have the merit of destroying the country, don't have as many thieves as they eat!
"Really?"
For a while, he was quite moved.
"It's true!"
Tian Guang said categorically: "If the general can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, the day when the defeat of Wu is successful, the Marquis of Qi will fulfill his promise." ”
"However, before that, please ask the general to be able to accept the ...... of the vote."
"What does Qi Hou want me to do?"
"How many soldiers are there under the general's command?"
Hearing this, the thief secretly thought about it, and said: "The soldiers recruited by Wu Guo are not enough to be trusted. There are no less than three thousand five hundred men in my old army. ”
"That's great!"
Tian Guang's eyes lit up and said: "What the general wants to do is to cooperate with the coalition army to raid the Wu army from behind on the day of the war, or take advantage of the time when our coalition army attacks the Wu army camp to create chaos, so that our righteous division can break the main force of the Wu army in one fell swoop and succeed in the first battle!" ”
"Good."
The thief immediately agreed.
……
The secret meeting between the thief and Tian Guang has never been concealed from Qingji.
Because, the eyeliner of the black ice platform is not covered, it is both inside and outside.
Although the Black Ice Platform claims to be an agency specializing in spying on the intelligence of other countries, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the officials in Wu are inevitably monitored by the Black Ice Platform.
As long as you are not a person with a ghost in your heart, you are not afraid of being watched by the spies of the Black Ice Platform.
For the thief, Qing Jida never trusted him from the beginning.
So there are a lot of eyeliners planted around the thief!
"King, the thief has reappeared, do you want to ......?"
On the side, the CRRC Fu Lingjiao made a gesture to wipe his neck, and his meaning was self-evident.
Kill!
Assassinate!
It is indeed not too difficult to assassinate the thief, but Qingji has his own opinions.
Wu Fa's deeds are not careful, and the law is not punished by the heart!
Assassination is a different approach.
Especially the assassination of the people of the secret law team of the Black Ice Terrace, that is a privilege of Qingji.
Qingji shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." At this time, the enemy is at present, no matter what you say, the thief is a general, and if he is assassinated, it is inevitable that people will be panicked......"
"This ...... My lord, is the king going to sit back and watch the thieves rebel? ”
Glue slip is very surprised.
"Prevention is better than prevention. Slippery, you immediately send someone from the secret law team to lurk around the thief, and then buy the thief's henchmen, if the thief really rebels, he will be killed immediately. ”
"No!"
Qingji is not worried about how big a wave can be stirred up by a mere thief.
However, he had to plan ahead.
It is far better to justifiably kill the thief than to send an assassin to assassinate the thief!
Subsequently, Qingji issued another edict to let the thieves continue to be stationed in Yunyang and not move.
This is to avoid irreparable consequences to the Wu army when the two armies are fighting.
Of course, Yunyang, as the rear of the Wu army, is actually not very relieved.
After all, Yunyang is not too far from Jinling City, and if the thieves really want to rebel, it will be Wu Guo who will be in big trouble at that time, because the capital Jinling may be under the city!
……
Early February.
The Marquis of Qi met the princes of the alliance in Tandi, and the participating countries were Qi, Chu, Song, Wei, Lu, Teng, Xue, Di, Ju, Tan, Cao, Chen, Dun, and Xu, a total of 17 countries, or the monarch personally came, or sent representatives of the secretary and doctor to participate.
The number of troops dispatched by each country is different, small countries often send 35,000 troops, such as Song, Wei, and Lu sent more than 10,000 troops, and Qi, as the leader of the alliance, sent 60,000 troops, which can be described as a national army!
At the very least, the State of Qi has sent all the standing troops to the front line, ready to fight a victorious battle, force the State of Wu to make an alliance under the city, or directly destroy Wu!
For this battle, Qi Hou Pestle can be said to have waited for a full thirty years!
The Marquis of Qi read out Wu's crimes at the Huimeng, demanding that Wu restore the Jingtian system and overturn all the new laws that had been established previously, and at the same time force Wu to cede the land of the cities north of the river.
This is typical extortion, and Qingji naturally won't agree!
However, this battle between the state of Wu and the allied forces of the princes was already inevitable.
So Qingji ordered the queen Ji Ko to supervise the country, hang the curtain and listen to the government, Dazai Ji Za, the left prime minister Wen and the right prime minister Ji Ran three people assisted the left, and ruled with a vertical arch.
Qingji personally led 50,000 foot riders, and after taking the oath, he set off from Jinling City and rushed to the front line.
Wu's original plan was to start a big war with the princes' coalition forces in Xu or Zhongwu, but the plan could not catch up with the changes.
After the Qi Marquis Pestle was in the alliance, he led the 150,000 princes to the south, and the troops were directed at Huaishui, not by means of Zhongwu or Xu!
Huaishui is the Huai River, is one of the important inland rivers in China, because there is an independent estuary in history, the river basin is vast, and the Yangtze River, the Yellow River (big river), Jishui and called the "four desecrations"!
At this time, on the south bank of the Huai River, the Wu army and the allied forces of the princes were facing off.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”
Wu's army of 50,000 horses was divided into ten huge phalanxes, divided into the middle army, the left army, the right army, the front army, and the rear army.
The Chinese army is led by Wu Wang Qingji, and it is basically elite, including the two elite divisions of the Yulin Army and the Tiger Ben Army.
The former army was led by the imperial historian Sun Wu, including a trap camp of 800 people, and a large number of crossbowmen and shield bearers.
The left army was led by the guard captain Xiong Zidan, and most of his subordinates were charioteers and samurai.
The right army was commanded by Lang Zhongling Heifu, and most of his subordinates were foot soldiers, spearmen, charioteers, and so on.
The rear army was commanded by the great Sima Sun, and they were almost all foot soldiers.
At this time, on the vast wilderness, 50,000 soldiers of the Wu army, wearing crimson battle clothes, helmets and armor, spears and bronze ges in their hands pointed straight at the sky, and between loud roars, a huge wave of sound rose to the sky.
Angry!
The shield array of the front army was like an impregnable line of defense, blocking the front of the Wu army's soldiers, and the shield bearers were either half-squatting, maintaining such a posture and not moving.
Behind the shield array were charioteers and crossbowmen, all of whom looked ahead, without the slightest fear of a large number of enemy troops!
Since the implementation of the 20-level military merit title system in the Wu State, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Wu army, the enemy on the opposite side seems to be a walking title, reward, and land......
On the other hand, the coalition of princes on the opposite side has all kinds of soldiers, wearing different colors of armor, and even worse, they have been pulled to fight, and they don't even have a set of the most basic weapons and armor!
How will this battle be fought?
