Chapter 529: A Place of Retreat
The Qi army confronted the Zhou army across the river, not without attempts to force the battle.
This time, the Qi army was obviously much more cautious than the Han and Zhao countries in front.
The Chinese army's main formation is behind the layers of military formations, and it is also very jealous of Gongsun Zhi's bravery, and constantly tests his situation.
And what about Gongsun Zhi?
He does not refuse to come, but he can lead a small number of cavalry to attack and destroy the soldiers and horses on the other side of the strait.
It's still like that, if it's less than 20,000, he can swallow it in one bite with 5,000 of his own soldiers!
And the number of more than 20,000, then the cavalry roared and attacked half-crossing, and it was difficult for them to cross the river.
The most important of these is intelligence, which is not a problem at all for Gongsun Zhi, who has been trained in the 'Killing Battlefield', and even many Luo Yun disciples have been assigned to serve as the most senior scouts.
So after the army of Qi found that Gongsun Zhi was really difficult to deal with, they confronted him across the river.
At the same time, the forces of the cultivators on both sides were also secretly clashing.
It is the only remaining immortal gate in the territory of Dayan that supports the army of the Qi State!
The benefits brought by the success of the Fulong Court were not to be ignored even by the Immortal Sect, which already had a Heavenly Master.
Those who are not Heavenly Masters want to become Heavenly Masters through the Dragon Garden, and those who already have Heavenly Masters also want to let their Immortal Sect have a second or third Heavenly Master through this!
It's just that the Jin Hao Immortal Sect in the Qi State Army looks a little weak, whether it is a battle in the open or in the dark, they are all completely inferior.
After all, although most of the Luo Yun disciples who joined the army were slow to enter the country, they were really capable of fighting!
In the Great Tribulation, the power of Dao Techniques and Dao Techniques has been greatly reduced, and melee combat with weapons is the most suitable way to fight, in this case, how could a disciple of Jin Hao Immortal Sect be the opponent of Luo Yun's disciple?
Anyway, on the battlefield of cultivators, Jin Hao Immortal Sect is losing and retreating.
On the mortal battlefield, Gongsun Zhi dragged the army of Qi to advance and retreat.
The army of Qi was invited by the monarchs and ministers of Zhao to help in the war, so the cost of grain and grass must always be borne by Zhao State, right?
However, the Zhao State has long been seriously damaged under the repeated attacks of Gongsun Zhi, even if the Zhao State is rich and can make Haoqiang supply it, but how can this kind of thing last for a long time?
For Qi and Zhao, they once again entered the rhythm that was most beneficial to Gongsun Zhi.
That is, they must win quickly, and Gongsun Zhi is deliberately delaying.
For the Qi State, cross-border warfare is tantamount to exposing the flanks of their own grain routes to the hands of others, because while they continue to ask for grain and grass from the Zhao State, the Qi State itself is also constantly raising food to transport it.
It's just that the distance of transporting grain and grass is so long, and the loss of the road can reach half, which is really difficult.
In fact, the most favorable situation for the Qi State is that they take advantage of the situation to attack and destroy the Zhao State, and then take the grain of the Zhao State to supply the whole army to confront the Zhou army.
They were invited to come at the time, perhaps with this in mind.
But when they tested the combat effectiveness of the Zhou army, this kind of thought could only be temporarily stopped.
They are able to attack the Zhao State, but this also means that the Zhou army can take advantage of the chaos!
Gongsun dared to rush 100,000 people even if he stopped at 5,000 people, and now he has 80,000 people, how many people do he need to stay and confront?
If the Qi army wanted to attack Zhao, it would have to use at least 200,000 people.
And how could the remaining 100,000 people be able to suppress Gongsun Zhi?
It was the army of Qi that was so embarrassed on the bank of the river, and was in a dilemma in the confrontation with the 80,000 army of Zhou.
Zhao State is also in a dilemma, it is really difficult to bear the grain and grass of Qi State, but if it is not afforded, I am afraid that these 300,000 Qi soldiers will turn their spearhead and invade Zhao Land at any time.
A few years ago, the days of the princes fighting each other have only passed, and this kind of thing is not unfamiliar to everyone.
It is precisely in this way that the two sides have reached a balance on both sides of the river between Han and Zhao that no one will break for the time being.
Qi and Zhao are powerless to change, while Gongsun Zhi needs to stabilize the rear and cannot change it for the time being.
He simply let Mr. Wen directly manage the government affairs of the rest of the Zhou Kingdom, while he let the government affairs of Han Di be sent to the army to deal with it personally.
Zhou State lacks talents, and the monarchs and ministers are all accustomed to being multi-skilled.
This made most of the officials of the Zhou State need Linglu and Ningshen Flower Tea to continue their lives, and they are all workaholics.
Volume, the Zhou dynasty and politics highlight the word 'volume'.
Not to mention rolling up one's own people, it is also undesirable to roll up the political leaders of various countries.
The vassals of the king of Zhou are all working so hard, what qualifications do they have as enemies of the king of Zhou?
Maybe the subordinates of King Zhou didn't feel it themselves, but they had already exported huge mental pressure to the Quartet.
I don't know when the other vassal states in this world will be crushed by this kind of mental pressure.
And because of the efforts of these ruthless people, Zhou Guo was stunned to make the whole country run efficiently in the absence of people.
This made Zhou's internal affairs extremely clean.
Because everyone obtains spiritual pleasure through the visible results of their work, where do they care that there is still time to pay attention to material enjoyment?
What a blessing it is that they have become people who have been freed from lower tastes and have higher pursuits?
A normal country will fight for years and years, which will inevitably make people's hearts tired and emaciated.
However, for the Zhou State, they seem to have been fighting for many years, but in fact, they are very cautious about the use of people's power, and the officials who are really tired are the officials.
However, the officials were proud of this, and all of them were in high spirits and unyielding in fighting spirit, and there was an extremely fanatical atmosphere throughout the country under the effect of the upper and lower levels.
This made many soldiers not show fatigue even if they had been fighting outside with Gongsun Zhi.
It is because when other countries go to war, they will lose the people's power and consume the national strength, and only the Great Zhou of Gongsun Zhi can still maintain the national strength against the trend in wartime.
More than a year has passed since Gongsun Zhi's Eastern Crusade, which destroyed Korea and hit Zhao hard, and now it has begun to deal with Qi again.
He wants to roll the three kingdoms of the Central Plains to death in one go!
……
On the other hand, Jiang Sibai's cultivation has finally gotten better.
This retreat, he didn't actually do it in the fairy world.
Instead, he entered the Jiantian Mirror alone and returned to the realm of the Mirror Lake.
In the Mirror Lake Realm, Luo Yun Immortal Realm is already a big faction in the world at this time, and it is rumored that the only place in the entire Mirror Lake Realm has mastered the secret of ascending immortals.
It is revered by people all over the world, and it is naturally the safest place.
And Jiang Sibai's retreat place is the residence of his childhood friend Han Qianjin.
At this time, Han Qianjin was already a three-flower gathering top cultivator, but he couldn't break through the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan, nor could he comprehend the void.
It's not that he's not motivated, it's that his talent is limited, so he can only end there.
It's just that Han Qianjin didn't feel any pity for this, but instead lived a life with his children around his knees.
He didn't want to go to the fairy world to work hard at all, he just wanted to live a stable life with his wife and children in his familiar hometown.
Jiang Sibai knew this, in fact, as long as he said a word, Han Qianjin would immediately put down everything and follow him.
But since he regards Han Qianjin as a brother, he can only bless him.
