"The 300,000 newly recruited soldiers of the Qi State are gathered here, and it is the time for our army to break through the battle and force down with the power of victory, and we must not give the other party a chance to train and rectify."

In the tent of the Qin army commander, the strategist Li Shiqi's face was full of joy and opened his mouth to make suggestions.

Deputy General Tu Sui laughed and said: "That's right, we've waited for almost two months, from winter to spring, and we can't wait any longer." Now that the weather is getting warmer, the soldiers are full of energy, and they are about to do a big job. ”

"However, after defeating these 300,000 Qi troops, Nai Gong will definitely be promoted to knighthood this time!"

The generals were emotional, all of them were happy, and their eyes all fell on General Zhao in the main seat.

Seeing that the generals were full of fighting spirit, Zhao Tuo would not refuse.

He looked at Li Shiqi and said, "In this case, I will invite Mr. into the Qi camp and tell Da Sima." Say that our Qin army has kept its promise and waited for the Qi country to gather a large army. Now we are waiting for Da Sima to have a gentleman's battle with me according to the agreement. ”

At this time, some generals were worried: "What if the big Sima doesn't agree to fight against me?" ”

The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth hooked slightly.

Li Shiqi laughed and replied on his behalf: "Don't worry, that big Sima will definitely go as promised." If he doesn't agree, then he won't be a big Sima. ”

The black buttocks also smiled: "Don't agree? If you don't agree, there will be another night attack, anyway, the 300,000 Qi army has already arrived, and the next initiative is in our hands! ”

……

Outside Zhen City, a gorgeous big tent.

On the couch, Da Sima Tian Chong was deducing with chess on the small case in front of him.

One side of the white chess represents the Qi army, and the other side of the black chess represents the Qin army.

Tian Chong's mouth was like a river, gushing endlessly about the situation of the military struggle, and at the same time holding chess with both hands, fighting each other, and constantly simulating the situation that might be encountered on the battlefield.

After a long time, Tian Chong put down the chess pieces.

He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and smiled at the Xiangfu in front of him: "I have predicted the possible tactics of the Qin army in this battle, no matter which method Zhao Tuo chooses to fight with our army, I have a way to deal with it, how does Mr. Xiangfu feel?" ”

Xiangfu is a disciple of Qi Mo, who has always been good at verbal warfare, and he is also a guy who likes to brag about empty words.

He saw that Da Sima's mouth was like a river, and what he said was the Tao, so he believed it a little first, and then looked at the black chess pieces that had been killed on the case, and praised with his palms: "Da Sima's military deduction is really powerful, with a general like Da Sima commanding the troops, why not win this battle, what is the 200,000 Qin army." ”

Being slapped by this sycophant, Tian Chong laughed and said: "Speaking of which, this is also Zhao Tuo's promise to keep his promise and give me time for the Qi State to gather an army." Otherwise, without this 300,000 army, only 100,000 people, I am really not his opponent Zhao Tuo. After all, Zhao Tuo's art of war is also very powerful, only a little weaker than me. ”

At this moment, Zou Yang, a close confidant of Da Sima, came to report outside the tent.

"Da Sima, the envoy of the Qin army wants to see him."

"Emissary?"

Tian Chong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It seems that Zhao Tuo can't wait." But this name sounds familiar, isn't it the messenger last time? ”

Zou Yang said embarrassedly: "Da Sima, it is the person before, at that time, Da Sima also asked the servants to welcome him into the camp and threatened him with strong men in the army. ”

Tian Chong nodded and said: "Last time, you went to greet him, this time you should go, but this time you took him from the old and weak camp, don't let him see my strong army." And let them gather the generals, and I will receive the messengers in the great tent. ”

Zou Yang was stunned for a moment and promised to do so.

After Zou Yang left, the husband touched the long beard under his chin and said, "Isn't Da Sima going to show weakness to the enemy this time, and to be proud of the heart of the Qin people?" ”

Tian Chong smiled and said: "Yes, I trained 10,000 elite soldiers in Linzi with ancient methods, and there are thousands of skilled fighters, all of whom can be used as ten, which is my elite, even the king and Xiangbang saw it, and they were also praised." ”

"Such elite is the key to the victory of our army this time. I first let the Qin army think that my Qi people are old and weak and can be bullied, then the Qin people must be arrogant and lazy, and when the two sides are fighting, I will attack the rear of their flanks with strange soldiers, and they can hit him Zhao Tuo by surprise, maybe they can also break the Chinese army, and capture him Zhao Tuo on the spot, hehe. ”

……

Outside the camp of the Qi army.

The envoy of the Qin State, Li Shiqi, raised his eyes and looked around, his eyes rolling, and he kept taking the information of Qi Ying into his heart.

After a while, a man came out of the camp.

He arched his hand at Li Shiqi and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but Mr. Li's demeanor is still the same." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Zou Jun, what a coincidence."

Li Shiqi laughed, the two had dealt with each other before, and after some conversation, they walked into the barracks hand in hand.

Along the way, Li Shiqi noticed that the camp of the Qi army was very chaotic, some camps were close, and some camps were far away. The ravines between the different camps were dug in a mess, and the soldiers were shouting in their respective camps, looking mixed with young and old, and their clothes were not neat, and all kinds of unintelligible Qi dialects kept burrowing into their ears.

Li Shiqi watched silently, thoughtful in his heart, but he didn't say a word, and followed Zou Yang to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Only then did his eyelids jump slightly.

In the last battle of Zhencheng, the great Sima Tian Chong had the army stationed outside the city, and he lived in a mansion in the city, disconnected from the army.

Now it is a tent in the barracks, which is an improvement compared to before.

"Sir, please enter the account."

Zou Yang smiled and stretched out his hand.

Li Shiqi gave up his hand and walked in.

In the tent, the senior generals of the Qi army were already sitting on both sides, and Xiang Fuji, who was the lobbyist of the Qi army's strategists, was also sitting under the big Sima, and all his eyes fell on the Qin envoy who entered the tent.

"Qin envoy Li eats it, and he has seen the foot of Da Sima."

Li Shiqi held his head high and bowed to the big Sima on the main seat in the tent.

Tian Chong's brows furrowed.

He still remembered that before the last battle of Zhencheng, this Qin envoy came to visit him, and he was lying on the ground, looking extremely humble.

Now that his posture has changed greatly, he looks very dragged, which is no longer in his eyes.

Tian Chong said with an unhappy face: "The envoy is here, why is it here?" ”

Li Shiqi smiled slightly, and raised his voice: "I know that the contemptible people came this time to ask the great Sima to fulfill the previous agreement, and the two armies of Qin and Qi will fight a gentleman's battle in a dignified manner. ”

Fulfill the promise, the battle of gentlemen?

Da Sima Tian Chong thought that two months ago, when Qin and Qi went to war, Zhao Tuo had a heavy army, but he did not take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, but wrote a letter of relief, and said that he was willing to wait for Tian Chong to gather the army of Qi State, and then the two sides agreed on a time and place to carry out an open battle.

Zhao Tuo not only said it, but really did it.

Zhao Tuo is really a gentleman.

Thinking of this, Tian Chong had a warm current flowing through his heart.

He bowed his head and said: "Fight a gentleman's battle with General Zhao, my wish." ”

Li Shiqi said with a smile: "In this case, the time of this battle is determined by my Qin army, but what?" ”

Hearing this, the faces of all the generals in the tent changed.

The time of the battle was set by the Qin army, which was a disadvantage for them.

Tian Dan immediately said: "The difference between the envoy's words is a battle. When the two parties agree on a time to fight, can one party decide? ”

Li Shiqi turned into a laugh and reprimanded: "What an unreasonable Qi person, two months ago, our Qin army had an army of 200,000 tun to gather in Dongjun, and the rest of the Qi army was only 100,000 people, if our army attacked at that time, when the army broke through the army in a war, and directly took Linzi, Anneng Youer waited here for a bargain?" ”

"Whew! My general, Xinyi, is written in the world, and let you Qi people have two months to recruit an army, and I ask you, since ancient times, can there be such a thing? ”

Li Shiqi sighed, and then angrily reprimanded the Qi people in the tent: "You have taken such a big advantage, and today you are not even willing to agree to the time set by our army." Qi people, you can know that honesty and honesty are righteous! ”

There was silence in the Qi tent, and even the husband who wanted to fight back was closed.

It is a fact that the Qin army took advantage of the advantage and did not attack, and let them prepare for two months, and no one can argue with it.

In today's world of great disputes, there is deceit on the battlefield, and surprise attacks and night attacks are commonplace, and one side does not need to make an appointment at all.

The Qin general Zhao Tuo not only gave them time to prepare, but also did not use sneak attacks, but was willing to fight a gentleman's battle in an upright manner, which can be called a moral model on the battlefield of this era.

Now that Li Shiqi proposed that the Qin army set the time, it was reasonable and reasonable, if they blocked it, it would really be unfaithful.

"Okay, it's up to General Zhao to set the time, and he says when it's when!"

Tian Chong's face flushed when he was said, and he agreed on the spot.

Li Shiqi turned angry and smiled at this time, and arched his hand: "Da Sima is really a gentleman of etiquette." When the contemptible people came this time, my general had already set a time, so he agreed at this time, what is it? ”

"Yes."

Tian Chong nodded.

Li Shiqi smiled and said: "In this case, the time is set for five days later, and my general and Da Sima will fight an upright battle between this Zhencheng wilderness. ”

"Five days?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Jiang Tian Dan's face changed greatly.

He stood up desperately and shouted to Da Sima: "Da Sima, five days is too short to promise." ”

During this time, Tian Dan often went into the camp to inspect and had some understanding of the state of the Qi army.

He knew that these 300,000 people had just been recruited, and not only were there frequent private fights, but most of them had never been soldiers, and they couldn't even stand in the most basic queues, let alone the Golden Drum Banner and the like, and they had to spend a period of time training.

Five days, obviously too short.

Of course, Tian Dan's observation is limited to this, after all, he is also a person who has never been on the battlefield, and the deeper problems of the Qi army are also difficult for him to see through.

His experience was all taught by the great Sima Tian Chong.

Da Sima Tianchong frowned, a little hesitant.

He had trained 10,000 soldiers in Linzi to practice the formation, and he also knew that five days was not enough time to train the army.

Li Shiqi saw that there was a Qi general in the tent who objected, and his face immediately turned dark, but he was a smart man, and he did not refute the Qi general who opened his mouth to dissuade him, but turned to face Da Sima.

"Da Sima, do you know how many grievances my General Zhao has suffered in order to fight this gentleman's battle with you?"

Li Shiqi raised his voice and said: "Two months ago, General Tu, the deputy general of my Qin army, said at the military meeting that he would use the power of thunder to attack the Qi army, and then take Linzi directly and win the merit of destroying Qi, and all the generals opened their mouths to echo. Only General Zhao remembered his friendship with Da Sima, and forcibly suppressed it, which caused the generals to be dissatisfied. ”

"General Zhao has been stationed in Dongjun for two months, and countless people in the army have complained, and countless people in the world have questioned it, even in Xianyang City, there are also young people who want to frame my general with slander."

"What a grievance! What a pressure! My generals have endured it all, what is this for? ”

"It's for you!"

"For you Tian Da Sima!"

Li Shiqi's face showed a sad color, and he sighed: "My general takes Da Sima as a confidant, and often says that in the battle of Zhencheng in the past, he won by trickery, which is the injustice of the world, and he often feels guilty in his chest. ”

"Especially when Xianyang said goodbye, Da Sima taught him the way of righteousness, and my general remembered it, so this time he will withstand the pressure of everyone in the world, delay for two months, and wait until Da Sima gathers soldiers and then comes to fight as a gentleman!"

"Now, I don't have anything to hide."

The grief on his face became heavier, and his voice became more and more mournful.

"Why did my general set a five-day time? It's not that he doesn't want to leave time for Da Sima to train the army, but because the generals in the army have long been dissatisfied, and General Tu even threatened to sue the king of Xianyang! ”

"At that time, I'm afraid that Da Sima wants to fight another gentleman's battle with my general, I'm afraid it's ......."

"Say no more! I promise! ”

Tian Chong shouted, his eyes blurred, and his face was already red and hot.

In his mind, the appearance of a teenager appeared.

Zhao Tuo actually did so much for him Tian Chong.

Moved, guilty, and churning in my heart.

"I promise!"

"Five days later, I, Tian Chongdang, and Zhao Tuo, will fight a dignified and upright gentleman's battle!"

Recently, the update time is out of order, and I am very uneasy, so I will try to adjust the time tomorrow.
