Chapter 6: The Qi Alliance

Huai'an City.

Autumn is high and cool, the millet in the field has matured, and the heavy ears of millet have bent the poles. Rai grabbed a heavy ear of grass beside him and looked at it, and then said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, this year's millet is growing so well, there is such a harvest in the first year of farming, we don't have to worry about hunger in the future!"

"Lei, a bumper grain harvest is a good thing, but it also means that war is coming!" Zijue stood on the ridge of the field and looked out at the far north.

"War?" Lei's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked, "Are those Zhou people coming?" ”

"This year's Dafeng, Tan, Qi, Lu, Ju, Ji and other countries are also Dafeng, will they allow us to continue to develop and grow?" Zijue's voice sounded.

"Arrange manpower, take all the grain back to the warehouse within half a month, and then prepare to meet the enemy!" After speaking, Zijue turned around and left.

......

Qi country.

Recently, the State of Qi has been preparing for the conquest of the Huai State, and now that the grain is harvesting, the State of Qi has also begun to seize the time to harvest the grain. Because the Qi country had a large number of slaves, the speed of harvesting grain was significantly faster.

The harvest was completed three days earlier than Huaiguo. Immediately afterwards, the State of Qi issued a summons to the surrounding vassal states, preparing to gather the armies of the princes and crusade against the Huai State.

Qi State knew the current strength of Huai State, so he did not let other Fang States send too many troops, more than 3,000 and as few as 1,000. This time, the main force of the crusade against Huai is still Qi State, and according to Qi State's idea, it is to use the power of destroying Huai to give the countries a deterrent.

So this time the coalition forces dispatched about fifteen thousand people. Half of the army was from the Qi state, and the rest were from the other vassal states.

The army held a ceremony to worship the heavens in the south of the Qi State Camp Hill, and then drove all the way south through the Tan State and went straight to Huaishui.

When the Qi State convened the alliance of the princes, the spies arranged by Zijue in the Qi State already knew about it, and these spies also passed the news of the army's dispatch back as soon as possible.

Huai'an.

Zijue returned to the palace and gathered the ministers, and it didn't take long for the ministers of Huai State to arrive, these people were the retainers who followed Zijue all the way south, and a few were the nobles of the original Yin Shang.

Due to the small size and weakness of the Huai State and the early establishment of the Fang State, there is always the danger of destroying the country, Zijue did not give these Qing doctors much wealth and land, of course, on the other hand, these Qing doctors have not made meritorious achievements, but these Qing doctors are their own people worthy of trust.

After the ministers arrived, Zijue opened his mouth and asked Yi, who was in charge of military affairs: "Yi, how is the army's training?" ”

Yi responded: "Your Majesty, the army in the country has been trained, there are 1,050 soldiers, 1,010 armor soldiers, the rest are archers, 2,000 people are responsible for transporting grain and grass, the army has prepared enough food and grass to supply the army for three months, and the chariots and horses are also ready, ready to go out at any time!" ”

"Good! Well done! Zijue nodded.

"Zhu, you are responsible for defending the city, repairing the city, and building blades."

"Yes!"

"Li, you are responsible for pacifying the people, and at the same time organizing the people to be strong, and those who dare to take the opportunity to make trouble will be killed!"

Kneeling on one knee on the ground, he said respectfully: "I will live up to the trust of the king!" ”

Speaking of which, the others also felt that something was wrong, did the king personally lead the army to meet the enemy?

Zijue looked around at the crowd, and then said loudly: "This year, the Qi State will gather the princes to form an alliance and form an alliance to attack me!" ”

"More than 20,000 people of the alliance of the princes of Bangzhou and Zhou, in order to destroy my Huai country, I only have a thousand five soldiers, since the collapse of Yin Shang, the people of the country have been displaced, and we have no way out.

Alone as a remnant of Yin Shang, unwilling to be a slave of Zhou, he led the people to flee south to the land of Huainan to rebuild their homes. Today's army is gathered, and Huai Guo is in danger. Since the people elected Lone as the monarch, Lone has always been worried that he will not be able to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and he is trembling and walking on thin ice, for fear that something will go wrong.

Fortunately, since last year, God has blessed me, and I have been revived by the destiny of Yin Shang, defeating Bang Zhou in Huaishui, and this year's grain is abundant, and the people have been able to eat and wear, which is also considered to be some achievements.

Today, Bang Zhou attacked me, and all the monarchs responded in groups, which is the trust of Lonely. If you lose this battle, everything will be over, and if you win, you will drink with you! ”

After saying a few words, in the humble palace, those ministers fell to the ground one after another, and said loudly: "We are all the remnants of Yin Shang, the ministers of the king, in this time of crisis, we must work together to protect the safety of Huaiguo!" ”

The ministers swore one after another, and the hall suddenly became lively, and the historians on the side of the palace also recorded this scene.

After Zijue led the ministers to worship the sky, he immediately rode in a chariot with Yi and led the army to the north. The city of Huai'an is not far from the Huai River. The army traveled all the way north and came to the bank of the Huai River in two days.

At this time, the Qi army had not yet arrived, so Zijue asked the army to set up camp, and then sent spies to spy on the army.

For this war, Zijue has an eighty percent chance of winning in his heart. Although the Qi army was numerous, this time he had the earth-level heavenly fire card in his hand.

Over the past year, he has gained a lot of luck points. Originally, this Huai country could provide 1,000 points of luck a year, but in addition, after he developed cattle farming and opened the era of cattle farming, he was rewarded with 2,000 points of luck points, and he now has 5,000 points of luck on his body.

If this battle is won, Huaiguo's position is stable, and if it is lost, everything will be over, so Zijue did not keep it anymore, and directly chose to draw five lotteries.

Five consecutive draws passed in a flash.

[Obtain Item: Human-Rank Item: Rejuvenation Charm, Obtain Human-Rank Item: Warrior, Whiteboard Item*3]

[Rejuvenation Charm: After use, it can treat all incurable diseases and restore injuries, limited to one person. 】

[Warrior: After use, summon ten warriors, the warrior's force value is 90, absolute loyalty, the warrior will be injured, and will die.] 】

Seeing the results of this lottery, Zi Jue was not disappointed, the rejuvenation charm is almost equivalent to a life, as for the ten-person warriors, it is not bad, they can protect his safety, or they can form a team to lead the army to attack. Led by these warriors with more than 90 forces, this army of 1,000 men could easily defeat an enemy several times their own number.

Zijue did not hesitate, and directly used the warrior card, and after a while, ten warriors appeared beside him.

The army was encamped on the banks of the Huaishui River, and Zijue sent spies to pass back the news of the princes' alliance every once in a while.

This time, the alliance of the princes dispatched 15,000 armor soldiers, and also requisitioned 5,000 people and 5,000 slaves to transport grain, grass and baggage.

The speed of the march of the army is not fast, the march is about fifty miles a day, and it can be seen that the commander of the princes' coalition army is not ignorant of soldiers, nor is he arrogant because of the small people of Huaiguo, and he marches all the way to come, and the army goes out in a very orderly manner.

The alliance of the seven vassal states of Qi, Lu, Tan, Ju, and Ji, together with the minfu slaves, had an army of 20,000 people, and they came from Yingqiu, passed through the Tan country, and went to the land of Huainan.

Chinese army chariots.

Qiu Mu, the supervisor of the State of Qi, sat opposite each other with the bird.

"Those remnants of Yin Shang did not flee, but instead built a feudal state in this Huainan land, and if they did not obey the mandate of heaven, they would die here! Do they think that if they can win Shan Hou, they can sit back and relax? A group of lost dogs, lucky victory, dare to feudal state, like child's play, this time the soldiers will come, will definitely turn into powder! ”

"It's indeed a group of local chickens and dogs, but this is the first time that the Qi State has exercised the right to crusade, although it is just some remnants of Yin Shang, the prison country still needs to be cautious."

"I wonder what the prison is going to do?"

"Surround three queyi, and send another rear army to ambush, if the enemy flees, the ambush will be exhausted, and then the tail will chase and kill!"

When he heard Chumu's arrangement, he nodded repeatedly. This Qi State supervisor did not feel that his own strength was strong and was careless, this arrangement can not only win a big victory, but also reduce casualties, worthy of being the son of Taigongwang.

Next, the two began to deduce the next war, and also discussed the handling of post-war matters.

The two are confident that this war will be won, after all, this battle is a crushing game no matter how you look at it.

By the time Qiu Mu and Bo Yu led the army to the bank of the Huaishui River, they had already found that the Huai army on the other side of the river was already in full array.

"The rebel army is neat, the flags are lined up, and the army is scattered, although the army is small but not chaotic, but in a year, there is such a military appearance, it seems that this Juehou has some real skills!" Standing on the chariot and looking into the distance, Bo Yu said with some surprise when he saw the neat appearance of the troops on the other side of the river.

Jian Guo Qiu Mu nodded and said: "Fortunately, if you come to crusade against this Huai State today, if you give him a few more years, and then want to destroy it, the price will be high." ”

"Haha, that's exactly the case, Yin Shang's destiny has fallen, Bang Zhou's destiny is like the rising sun, this battle will be won!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

The army shouted, and the ten thousand people shouted, and the sound shook the wilderness, and countless birds and beasts were startled in the wilderness.

Even across the Huai River, the Huai army also felt the might of the army, and for a while there was a slight commotion in the army, and the ministers who followed around were also frightened. After all, the gap between the two sides is too big, and except for a few people such as Yi, the other ministers have not experienced the scene of Zijue's big victory over tens of thousands of Zhou troops last time.

Feeling the panic in the hearts of the soldiers below, Zi Jue was calm, his expression was not a trace of nervousness, but very relaxed, pointing at the army of Zhou on the other side and laughing.

The people around were very puzzled, and Yi beside him asked cautiously, "Why is the king laughing?" ”

Zijue patted Yi's shoulder, pointed to the Bang Zhou army opposite, and said, "This Bang Zhou is really cowardly. ”

Everyone was puzzled.

Zijue explained: "I can't wait for a thousand people, this Bang Zhou is so afraid that he will send 20,000 troops to fight against us, isn't this cowardly as a mouse?" ”

When I heard this, I burst out laughing. Seeing this, everyone around them also laughed, and the fear in their hearts also dissipated. Seeing that the king was so calm, the army was calm.

- In the fourth year of the king, the Marquis of Qi met the alliance, cut down Huai, and King Jue fought in Huaishui. When the Huai people saw the prosperity of the Qi army, they were afraid of it, and the army's heart was shaken. King Jue laughed and asked, "Why are you smiling?" King Jue said: "The Zhou people are as timid as rats, our army is a thousand people, and 20,000 troops dare to conquest, isn't it cowardice?" The crowd laughed, and the army was at ease. This so-called siege is the bottom, and the heart is the top. The Art of War: Stratagem
