It's March, and spring is blooming.

In a separate garden in the imperial garden of Xianyang Palace, as the celebration of King Wu, he also sat in the pavilion with great interest and fished.

It stands to reason that Wu and Zhao are at war, and Qingji should be so busy that he can't get out.

However, the opposite is true.

As the attacking party, Qingji only needs to control the overall situation behind the scenes, there is no need to bow down to everything, and care too much about the war on the front line.

This time, the strategic goal of Wu was to cripple Zhao, eliminate the main force of the Zhao people, and further compress the living space of Zhao, so that Wu could officially go out of the customs in the future and launch a war to dominate the world.

With the current size of the Wu Kingdom, hundreds of thousands of troops will not break their muscles and bones, but at most affect the spring ploughing and this year's harvest.

Compared with the State of Wu, the State of Zhao is very miserable.

Because Zhao Guo is destined to be a year full of disasters and difficulties.

Not only did most of the men go to the battlefield, abandoning the fields and delaying the agricultural time, but also the war took place in the Zhao State, which led to the fact that the Zhao people were destined to have no harvest, and many people might starve to death, and many Zhao people would flee......

At this moment, sitting in the pavilion, fishing with Qingji, there is also Queen Ji Qi.

Queen Ji Qi is not happy to be loyal to this kind of thing of fishing, she just has nothing to do, and she just wants to talk to Qingji.

Not far away, Xi Shi, Zheng Dan, Nanzi, Zhu Di, Zhen Jiang, Ji Huan, Meng Huan and other concubines are warblers and swallows, and they enjoy flowers in the imperial garden in groups of three or five.

This scene looks like a daughter country.

Time has passed, and these concubines who celebrate jealousy have all become.

However, there are also many concubines and palace ladies who are in the middle of the decade, or in the year of the year.

Even Qingji doesn't remember how many concubines and children he has now.

"No more fishing!"

Qingji caught fish for a long time, but none of them bited the hook.

This made Qingji feel depressed, and he threw the fishing rod aside like a child's temper.

"Didn't you say that the fun of fishing lies in the process?"

Queen Ji Qi smiled and said: "It's just that you can't catch fish, why is the king angry?" ”

"Queen, the widow usually fishes here, and at this time, he has caught a dozen fish. Now that you haven't caught any of them, how can you make the widow embarrassed? ”

"Poof!"

Seeing Qingji's sullen appearance, Queen Ji Qi couldn't help but smile and said, "King, the concubine forgot to tell you." You used to think that fishing in the Imperial Garden was too easy and not difficult. ”

"Therefore, two days ago, the concubine made the decision, and let people put only twenty fish in this lake. Whether you can catch it or not is a matter of luck. ”

“……”

Qingji was speechless.

He raised his eyes again and saw that near the rockery, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, who were talking and laughing by the lake, were actually feeding fish into the lake with great interest......

If you can catch a fish, it would be weird!

At this time, the CRRC Mansion ordered Jiao to slip into the Imperial Garden, bowed to Qingji and said, "King, the Imperial Doctor asks to see you." ”

"Let him in."

"No!"

Not long after, Fan Li, as the imperial historian, took a newspaper, hurriedly entered this garden, and saluted respectfully to Qingji.

Seeing Fan Li's hurried appearance, Qingji had an ominous premonition.

"King, this is the battle report sent back by Zhang Gongzi Pegasus."

Qingji took the battle report and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning.

"My lord, is it good news?"

Queen Ji Qi asked curiously.

"It's a good news, but it's also a bad news."

"Huh?"

Queen Ji Qi was taken aback.

"My lord, what do you say?"

"Queen, see for yourself, this is the good son we have born."

Qingji let Queen Ji look at the battle report in his hand.

After reading the contents of the battle report, Queen Ji Qi couldn't help but lose her face, and said tremblingly: "Big ...... King, how dare Zhang Er do this? ”

"He's very bold."

Even if Queen Ji Qi is a woman, she understands what Gongzizhang wants to do.

In the hinterland of Zhao State, there are enemy soldiers on all sides, even if there are 10,000 or 20,000 elite iron cavalry under Gongzi Zhang, they may not be able to hold it.

"King, the Black Ice Terrace has reported that the Zhongshan people have promised to send troops to rescue Zhao. The minister expected that the first target of the combined forces of the Zhao people and the Zhongshan people would be the Wu army that held on to Qi County...... Zhang Gongzi is in danger. ”

Fan Li sighed and said: "Before, time was in a hurry, and the Zhao State had not yet come out of the empty country and gathered all the soldiers and horses. Now, Zhang Gongzi led his troops to capture Qi County, and Qi County is the only way for Jinyang to reach the land of Zhao Guo's party, and it is the grain route of the Zhao army! ”

"The Zhao people will never tolerate it, their own grain routes are blocked, and they will definitely recapture Qi County at all costs and eliminate the soldiers and horses of Zhang Gongzi."

Qingji frowned and asked, "Young Uncle, do you calculate, how many people can the Zhao people still have at their turn?" ”

"As little as 50,000, as much as 80,000, plus the coalition army of the Zhongshan people, if you only attack Qi County, the minister estimates that it should not be less than 100,000 foot cavalry."

“……”

Queen Ji Qi was so frightened that her little face turned pale for a while, and she hurriedly grabbed Qingji's arm and said in a pleading tone: "King, you can't die without help." ”

"This time it's Zhang'er who is good at it, but, where Qi County is, but my Dawu has nearly 20,000 elite iron horses, Zhang'er is your son, and the king must not take it lightly."

Queen Ji Qi, this is her beloved son's heart.

However, Qingji was still unmoved.

"If you can save Wu Zhang, why don't you want to save it? This sub...... Stupidity! ”

Qingji slowly closed his eyes and said: "He is eager for quick success, not to mention greedy for merit, and lacks the overall situation." ”

"Now that the matter has come to this, why do I need to take dangerous measures in my country? is still blooming in the center and surrounded on all sides, doesn't he know how to judge the situation? ”

"It doesn't matter if he wants to die, how can he bring my 20,000 elite iron cavalry to accompany him to the funeral?"

"Stupid! Reckless! ”

It's no wonder that Qingji would say such angry words.

Gongzizhang this time is really too reckless.

The center blooms and is surrounded on all sides, this is indeed the tactic that Qingji taught Gongzizhang.

However, it is by no means used that way.

Flowering in the center is a tactic.

Strike at key or vital points in the enemy's center first, and then expand the results in all directions.

Or they use their own side as bait to stick to a certain strategic area, induce enemy troops to move towards themselves, cooperate with friendly and neighboring forces to carry out counter-encirclement of the enemy, and when the time is ripe, cooperate with friendly and neighboring forces to strike at the enemy's tactics.

It's an excellent tactic.

However, the barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes.

Now Wu Guo is wearing shoes, and Zhao Guo is barefoot.

Gongzizhang captured Qi County and blocked the grain route of the Zhao army, how could the Zhao people not fight with him?

In the final analysis, Qingji's initial idea was not to fight a quick battle with Zhao Guo, but to fight a protracted tug-of-war.

As a military power, Zhao State cannot consume Wu State, which has long been a superpower.
