At this time, Han Xin was leading the army on the way to Fu Lisai, and he didn't know that Wei Yi was preparing to engage him in a battle. According to the known intelligence, Han Xin determined that Wei Yi's real purpose was to go north, and the army in Fulisai was just a feint, so that Fulisai's army would not dare to act rashly.

Qi country.

Ziyou has been in the Qi country for many days, and he has heard a lot of news about the rebels along the way, such as the rebels defeated the Qi army defending Zibo in Jixia, and is now attacking Zibo, and the once glorious Jixia School Palace was destroyed by the rebels.

At the same time, the news that Qi Wangjian asked for help from the Qin State was also learned by Ziyou, who used the tiger talisman given to him by Yingzheng to let the army stationed in Rao'an go south to support the Qi State. When Ziyou left Xianyang, Yingzheng gave him the tiger talisman and the edict to mobilize the army, just in case, so he could mobilize Bai Yifei of Xinzheng, otherwise Bai Yifei would not have used the lives of his family and the Xinzheng army to go to Dongjun with the old feelings.

Ziyou had already arrived at Changguo City at this time, and the distance between Changguo City and Zibo was extremely close, with only a Jixia in between. However, the rebels did not attack Changguo, but directly defeated the Qin army under Jixia and went to Zibo, the rebels' intentions were very clear, and their thoughts were the same as the fourth child who succeeded on the side of the Qing monarch in later generations.

Qi Wang Jian has the ruling power of Qi in his hands and has a lot of political resources, as long as Qi Wang Jian is given enough time, he can mobilize the remaining army of the entire Qi State and even recruit people to become soldiers and rebels in the people. The rebels only have 30,000 men in their hands, and 20,000 of them are still incorporated troops, and they can't afford to spend them. Only by quickly taking Zibo, Qing Jun's side, and grasping the ruling power, the army of Qi will naturally not come to attack them at that time.

Ziyou sat in the tea shed and drank tea, and the little guy in the tea shed filled Ziyou with tea.

"You really deserve to be a Confucian gentleman, and you can still drink tea with us so calmly." The little guy looked at Ziyou and said adoringly.

"Oh? Why? Ziyou looked at the little guy and asked.

"Listen to your accent is Songhai people, don't you know, some time ago, those damn rebels just passed through our Changguo City, although they did not attack our Changguo, but they caused a lot of villages, the people fled into the mountains to take refuge, and my small tea stall has no customers. Also, these rebels actually set fire to the Jixia School Palace and killed people, and it is said that several old gentlemen died inside.

The people in the vicinity of Changguo City fled, and the convoys of merchants also took a detour. And you are still going in the direction of Zibo, so you have the courage. The little guy said as he wiped the table.

"How do you know I'm going to Zibo?" Ziyou looked at the little guy and asked curiously.

The little guy scratched his head and said with embarrassment on his face

"I guessed. Confucianism has been in our Qi country for many years, and our King Qi has always treated Confucianism with courtesy, and now that our King of Qi is besieged by rebels, I think how can Confucian gentlemen go to save our King of Qi. Although our King Qi is relatively weak, he has never increased taxes or launched conscription or anything, and he is also a good king. ”

"If you talk about King Qi on the street, you are not afraid of being heard by the officers and soldiers. Thus caught you? Ziyou looked at the little guy and asked.

"Well, our king won't care about this? Before the rebels came, my tea stall was the only way from Zibo to Changguo, and I heard many passers-by say so. The little guy said.

"Hahaha." Ziyou laughed and said, took out a handful of Qin State's copper coins from his arms and put them on the table, "I don't have Qi State's coins on me, if you accept these Qin State's half taels, it will be regarded as a reward for you." ”

"What the guests give is not accepted. We'll take everything here. When the time comes, I can take these Qin half taels to the city and exchange them for the caravan of the Qin State! The little guy happily grabbed a handful of copper coins and said.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves not far away, Ziyou and Xiaowu looked, a big flag of the Qi army was in the air, and the big flag was an army, and the leader was wearing the armor of the Qi army with a serious face.

"Hey! It's the county lieutenant of our Changguo City, and it seems that the lord is here to save the king. The little guy shook his head helplessly and said.

"Why do you sigh? Don't you want someone to save King Qi? Ziyou asked.

"Before, the prefectural commander had already led the army of Changguo to fight the rebels under Jixia, and as a result, our army lost. How many soldiers do we have in Changguo now? The little guy said helplessly, "I really don't know how these rebels did it, and in the face of a large army, they can still win." ”

"Do you think Zibo will be captured?" Ziyou asked.

"No, I heard that the king has ordered the armies from other places to come to support, and he has also asked the Qin State for help. Qin's army is a real army of tigers and wolves, and they should be able to win against these rebels. The little guy said.

"Hahaha, thank you for the tea." Ziyou got up and said.

"Okay, sir, you have a good trip, I suggest you better not go to Zibo, in case you are discovered by those red-eyed rebels, you will definitely die." The little guy said.

"Although tens of millions of people have gone to me. You also said that the country of Qi treats me with kindness, and the king of Qi is in trouble, how can I ignore it? Ziyou walked towards the banner of the Qi army.

"Good sir, really good sir!" The little guy looked at the back of Ziyou leading the horse away and sighed.

The county lieutenant of Changguo frowned when he looked at Ziyou who was coming towards him, and scolded loudly

"The Confucian in front, get out of the way."

Ziyou did not get out of the way, but continued to walk towards the county lieutenant of Changguo in front of him. Seeing this, the county lieutenant of Changguo asked the soldiers on the side to step forward to inquire about Ziyou's origin.

The soldier nodded and rode his horse towards Ziyou, came to Ziyou's face, restrained the horse, and asked sharply

"Who are you? Dare to stand in the way of our army, do you know that we are going to support the king and face the rebels! ”

"In the next, Confucian Ziyou, it is precisely because he knows that the county lieutenant of Changguo wants to lead the soldiers to the king, so he is here to help!" Ziyou said with his fists clenched.

"The Confucian sub-tour? You wait, I'll go tell the county lieutenant. ”

The soldiers rode back.

"Lord County Lieutenant, the person in front of me said that he was a Confucian Ziyou and was here to help us." The soldier said.

"What!? Did you hear it right? Are you sure it's Mr. Ziyou of Confucianism? The county lieutenant looked at the soldier with excitement and panic and asked.

"Yes, I'm sure I heard you right. He said his name was Ziyou. The soldier said.

"You little bastard, can you call Mr. Ziyou by his name?" The county lieutenant slapped the soldier directly on the head.

The soldier was suddenly a little aggrieved, he just told the truth, why was he still beaten.

"A few of you come with me to meet Mr. Ziyou." The county lieutenant said to the soldiers beside him.

"No!"

The county lieutenant took a few soldiers to ride his horse towards Ziyou, and when he was still a dozen steps away from Ziyou, he suddenly stopped and dismounted and walked towards Ziyou. Ziyou turned over and dismounted to meet him.

"Meet Mr. Ziyou! I have long heard of Mr. Ziyou's prestige, but now when I see it, it really deserves its name! The county lieutenant of Changguo said to the march.

"I've seen the county lieutenant, and the county lieutenant is serious. At the time of crisis, he still remembered Wang En, and led the lone army to dare to protect the king, which is what the husband did. Ziyou returned the salute and said.

"Mr. Ziyou is serious, eat the king's money, and be loyal to the king. Did you just hear from the people below that Mr. is here to help? The county lieutenant looked at Ziyou nervously.

"That's right, I don't know how many soldiers the county lieutenant has now?" Ziyou asked.

"Tell me the truth, eight hundred." The county lieutenant said with some embarrassment.

These 800 soldiers are the soldiers of the entire Changguo City, originally there were 6,000 soldiers in Changguo City, but in the next battle, there were heavy casualties, and only 800 soldiers were left to defend the city.

"The county lieutenant is really a warrior." Zi You saluted and said, "If the county lieutenant believes in Zi You, give me these eight hundred people." ”

The county lieutenant asked after a moment's thought

"What is the odds of winning, sir?"

"At the moment, it seems that it is only eighty percent. To tell you the truth, I met the envoy of the King of Qi three days ago, and I have ordered the elite of the six thousand Qin troops stationed in Rao'an to rush to Zibo, they are all veterans of a hundred battles, as long as we temporarily alleviate the rebels' attack on Zibo, wait until they arrive. Ziyou said.

The county lieutenant glanced at Ziyou, and finally gritted his teeth and said

"Okay, more than 800 people, including me, are now under the command of Mr.

"Okay, without further ado, let's hurry immediately, do you have a map near Zibo?" Ziyou asked.

"Yes, sir is waiting for me to pick it up." The lieutenant returned with his lieutenant to get the map.

"My lord, do we really want to hand over the soldiers to Mr. Ziyou? He was the former lieutenant of the Qin State. The deputy said.

"Is there any other way for us? If you don't believe Mr. Ziyou, our little bit of people is just a drop in the bucket, let Mr. Ziyou lead the troops, and the siege of Zibo may still have a glimmer of life! The county lieutenant said helplessly. Of course, he knew that Ziyou was from the Qin State and was dedicated to Qin, but if the eight hundred of them went directly to Zibo, it would be tantamount to suicide. Ziyou, as the captain of the Qin State, has all kinds of prestige in the world, and the Qin army is also the commander of the Han army, so that he can lead the eight hundred of them to have a chance of winning.

The deputy was speechless and handed over the map to the county lieutenant.

After the county lieutenant handed the map to Ziyou, Ziyou continued to advance with the army while looking at the map.

"Send someone to collect the black cloth nearby, write the Qin character on it, and raise it as the military flag of the Qin army, replacing the military flag of the Qi army!" Ziyou said.

"Why is that?" Changguo County Lieutenant asked.

"Do you think the current rebels are afraid of the Qin army, or are they afraid of you?" Ziyou asked rhetorically.

"Of course. It's the Qin army. The county lieutenant of Changguo said in a low voice.

Their 50,000 men were beaten and fled by 30,000 people, how could the rebels still be afraid of them. On the contrary, it is the Qin army, since the appointment of King Qin Zhaoxiang to Bai, the armies of the six countries are not afraid to see the Qin army. In recent years, the Qin army has continuously destroyed the country, and the courage of the Qi army has long been frightened.

According to Ziyou's instructions, the county lieutenant of Changguo sent people to collect black cloth to use to make the military flag of the Qin army. More than a dozen people were selected by the 800-member neutron tour to act as spies, scouting the way in front and observing the surrounding terrain. When Ziyou passed by Jixia, he looked at the Jixia School Palace, which had turned into a ruin, and Ziyou's heart was very heavy. A dozen old men and dozens of young people were rummaging through the rubble, and one old man was holding a half-burned book.

Jixia is the place where Ziyou grew up when he was a teenager, and it is also the place where Ziyou became famous in one fell swoop, and now it has been burned, and Ziyou is unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart.

The county lieutenant of Changguo saw that Ziyou was in a heavy mood and asked cautiously

"Sir?"

"I'm fine, let's move on." Ziyou said.

"No."

Not long after, Ziyou and his army were about to arrive in Zibo.

"My lord, in front is the entrance to the dragon, which is the only way to Zibo, and it is also a suspension bridge, with 800 rebels garrisoned." The spy said.

"Mr. Ziyou, if you want to go to Zibo, this is the only way to go, Zibo is surrounded by water, there are a total of three suspension bridges that can be passed, there are 800 people stationed here, and there must be rebels stationed in other places. We also have 800 men, and we can rush and grab the drawbridge here. Changguo County Lieutenant said.

Ziyou glanced at the county lieutenant of Changguo, his eyes full of suspicion.

"The rebels occupy the drawbridge, and there is no way to cross the river in between, so what if they just control the drawbridge on the other side and shoot us with bows and arrows?" Ziyou asked.

"The soldiers of our Qi country are not afraid of death, as long as we succeed in crossing the river, we can snatch the drawbridge." The county lieutenant of Changguo said as it should be.

Ziyou looked at the county lieutenant of Changguo, how much he wanted to scold SB at this moment, but he still held back. Such a method can no longer be said to be stupid, but it is not a way to use the art of war at all, so that anyone who has never fought knows that this is death. The county lieutenant of a county is so ignorant of the art of war, which makes Ziyou very suspicious.

"Where did you come from?" Ziyou asked in a low voice.

"I used to stay in the army for a while, and then I became the captain of Changguo County after my father's operation." The county lieutenant of Changguo said in a low voice, he was also a little ashamed of his father buying him an official in Housheng.

"I see, it's okay." Ziyou suddenly stopped doubting it, if he bought it, it would be normal. Originally, he thought that the county lieutenant of Changguo was brave and unscrupulous, but now it seems that he is a stunned young man.

After staying in the Qin State for a long time, Ziyou forgot that other countries were not the same as the Qin State, and the county lieutenants and county orders had to go through strict selection and training before they could be released, especially in the military aspect, the county lieutenants were more selected from the rank of captain in the army, and the county orders were to ensure that he could immediately take over the army and command the army in the event of the sacrifice of the county lieutenant.

The county lieutenants of Qi can be bought and sold, and Ziyou also understands why the rebels of 10,000 people directly attacked Zibo City in a very short period of time, and the whole army was incompetent. What Ziyou didn't know was that after the abolition of armaments in the Qi State, all countries no longer attacked the Qi State, which made the Qi State army more and more scattered, and the selection of officers was also very arbitrary, which made the Qi State army rotten from top to bottom.

"And how are we going to cross the river?" Changguo County Lieutenant asked.

Ziyou looked at the county lieutenant of Changguo, and then looked at the eight hundred troops behind him, originally he thought that these eight hundred people were carefully selected elites, but now it seems that this should also be a soldier who has not undergone much training, and even the cannon fodder battalion of the Qin State is comparable, and the matter of seizing the drawbridge cannot be counted on them.

"When the time comes, I will naturally have the means to seize the drawbridge." Ziyou said.

"Huh? If you can tell me something, I can also learn it. Changguo County Lieutenant said.

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed," Ziyou said.

"You are a Confucian gentleman, why are you still engaged in Taoism?" Changguo said depressedly.

Ziyou was not in the mood to care about the county lieutenant of Changguo anymore, so he continued to set off with the army, and soon came to the front of the suspension bridge, and the rebels on the opposite side also found reinforcements from the Qi army on the opposite side, so they immediately put up a defensive battle.

Ziyou looked at the drawbridge, and then at the rebels on the opposite side. The rebels on the other side of the river also saw the army on the opposite side, and when they saw the black Qin character banner of the Qin army on the opposite side, they immediately panicked, they also knew that Qi Wangjian had asked for help from the Qin State, but they didn't expect the Qin army to arrive so soon.

"Sir, what shall we do now?" Changguo County Lieutenant asked.

"You must not move without my orders." After Ziyou finished speaking, his legs clamped the horse's belly and rushed forward.

Before the county lieutenant of Changguo could ask, he saw Ziyou rushing towards the suspension bridge in front of him.

"My lord, what shall we do now?" The deputy asked.

The county lieutenant of Changguo said after thinking for a while

"Wait, there are too many legendary deeds created by Mr. Ziyou, maybe this time he can also create a miracle."

The deputy wanted to say something more, but kept his mouth shut and stopped talking.

The rebels on the opposite side saw Ziyou rushing towards the suspension bridge with one person and one horse, and immediately laughed. The commander led by the commander smiled even more, if the Qin army directly impacted, he might be afraid, but he felt that this person had lived enough.

"Is this man crazy? A person rushed over, and someone came to shoot arrows!! The commander in charge of the eight hundred people smiled and said, "It turns out that there are also fools in the Qin army, hahaha!" ”

"Shoot the arrow!!"

The archers in the front row let go of their bowstrings, and dozens of bows and arrows were fired towards Ziyou. Looking at these arrows, not only did he not slow down, but instead drove the horses to continue to rush forward. When the horse was about to reach the river, Ziyou jumped up from the horse's back, and the internal force in his hand gathered.

Zi You in mid-air looked at the oncoming sharp arrows, and the internal force around his body spread, controlling all the sharp arrows around him.

Seeing that Ziyou in mid-air controlled the sharp arrow, both the county lieutenant of Changguo and the rebels on the opposite side were stunned, and watched this scene with their mouths wide open.

The internal force in Ziyou's hand was condensed, and under the control of Ziyou's internal force, after dozens of swords rotated in the air, the arrows were directed towards the rebels on the opposite side. In the surprise of the rebel commander, Ziyou pushed forward with both hands, and dozens of arrows quickly shot towards the archers in the front row.

"Hurry! Shoot the arrows again and stop him! Qianfu shouted loudly.
