Volume 2 Who Dominates the Ups and Downs Chapter 121 The Battle of the Five Armies
Su Qin went in and out of Yan Zhao again, and agreed with Zhao Yong on the strategy of "each taking what he needs and not interfering with each other", and once again instructed King Yan to recuperate and wait for the opportunity. Zhao Yong immediately went to Yan in person to meet Yan Wang Ji, and the two discussed the alliance between Yan and Zhao to fight against Qi together.
When Su Qin returned to Qi, the Qi court held a court discussion on the matter of the Song Dynasty. The king of Qi suddenly proposed to cut the Song Dynasty, and Tian Wen was taken aback and unprepared. Su Qin, Tian Qiao and others tried their best to agree, although Tian Wen felt that it was inappropriate, he didn't know how to refute it for a while, and hurriedly asked King Qi:
"Does the king want to destroy the Song Dynasty, or does he never forget the nine gods of the Song Kingdom?"
When King Qi heard Tian Wen ask this, he was unhappy, thinking that Tian Wen had raised so many customers and was well-informed, could it be that he also knew that Jiuding was related to immortality and was selfish, so he said unhappily:
"The widow is now in the Song Dynasty, as for whether he will take Jiuding when he is in the Song Dynasty, do you still want Xue Gong to agree?"
"The king's words are wrong! It is related to the national fortune of our country, and as the prime minister, the minister should be asked!" Tian Wen was not polite, and said-for-tat.
"This time, Xue Gong doesn't bother, the widow is in charge of the expedition, and Su Qing is responsible for the supply of grain and grass, and Xue Gong only needs to prepare the wine and food when the widow returns to the dynasty in victory!"
"The king sought the throne before, and I have already made it clear what is at stake, why did the king know his mistakes and not change them?" Tian Wen asked again. Tian Wen has his own fiefdom, coupled with strong financial resources and is famous all over the world, the more King Qi dislikes him, the more he puts on a righteous and awe-inspiring posture, so he is unceremonious.
"Presumptuous! The widow is the king of Qi, and what he did is reasonable, do I still want to explain it to you?" said the king of Qi angrily.
"As the prime minister of Qi State, the minister should have the right to know, if what the king does is detrimental to the national fortune, the minister should stop it!" Tian Wen did not give in.
"You ┄┄ you ┄ ┄ then you don't want to be this prime minister!" King Qi said angrily.
"Hmph!" Tian Wen gritted his teeth angrily, pointed at Su Qin and the others and scolded:
"You wait for the villain to mislead the country and the king, you still have to do this prime minister!" As he spoke, he took off his top and threw it at Su Qin, turned around with his sleeves, and left the court.
The more Tian Wen returned to Linzi Mansion, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was inappropriate, and slowly figured out the benefits and disadvantages of the Song Dynasty, so he asked to enter the palace to meet the King of Qi, but the King of Qi did not want to see him. Tian Wen repeatedly asked to enter the palace to state the benefits, but the king of Qi just didn't see him, Tian Wen was so anxious and angry, so angry that he was bedridden and sick for several days.
After January, the king of Qi reorganized his troops and sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty. Tian Wen wanted to stop the king of Qi at the gate of the city, and Wei Zidao, the doorman:
"The matter has come to this point, the sovereign can't stop it, why bother to humiliate him again! If the sovereign expected, the king will regret it in the future, and he will reuse the sovereign!"
"You're wrong! No matter what the result of the war is in Song, the king will not reuse Xue Gong again!" Feng Tan said.
"What the lord says is reasonable, and he is loyal to the country, how can he not be reused?" Wei Zi doubted.
"If the Song Dynasty is cut well, Xue Gong will naturally be at a loss; if the war is not good, the king's face will be dull, and the people of the world will think that Xue Gong is better than the king, how can the king use Xue Gong again?" Feng Tan said.
"This is reasonable, how can the lord be good?" Wei Zi looked at Tian Wendao.
"Pack your luggage and go back to Xue Di┄┄!" Tian Wen sighed.
Besides, Lu Maoshou controlled Gongsun He's consciousness when he was seriously injured and weak, and then controlled the thirty-six ghost soldiers brought by Gongsun He, secretly rejoicing in his heart and preparing to make a plan. At this time, although Gongsun He was injured, he could still give orders, but everyone didn't know that the instructions he issued were actually Lu Maoshou's intentions. Gongsun He and his entourage arrived on the big boat of the Yellow River, and after walking west for less than a day, Gongsun He was already dying. When Gongsun Crane was dying, he kept reading the words "Jiuding returns, ninety-nine return to one", Lu Maoshou tried his best to use his mind to explore Gongsun He's brain, but at this time Gongsun He's mind was faint and vague, and Lu Maoshou could only vaguely feel that it seemed to be related to the "Kunlun Glacier". Before Gongsun He died, Lu Maoshou used the skill of Quyi to make Gongsun He say to everyone:
"After I die, everything will be decided by the Lu Dao Chief, who is the reincarnation of the Tongtian Sect Master and came to the mortal world to purify the people, can you hear clearly?"
Everyone nodded their heads, and Gongsun He immediately closed his eyes, and Ju Mang, Bal Yue and others kowtowed with tears and sent Gongsun He away.
Gongsun He immediately summoned everyone, repeated the trick, and used the magic to output illusions to everyone's minds, and everyone saw pictures floating in their minds, clear and real, as if they were there. In the illusion, Lu Mao Shou Tengyun sat on the throne of the sect leader, and countless people below knelt down loudly:
"The Tongtian Sect Master is above, I will follow him to the death!"
As soon as the words fell, four people flashed out beside Lu Maoshou, and one of them shouted:
"We are the four protectors of wind, rain, thunder and lightning under the seat of the sect master, if anyone does not listen to the orders of the sect master, they will die without a place to be buried!"
At this time, Lu Maoshou's intentions and intentions have risen to a higher level than in the past, and even out-of-the-world masters such as Jumang and Bald Yue were inadvertently controlled by his intentions. But Lu Maoshou knew in his heart that for masters like Ju Mang and Bal Yue, his tricks were only effective for a while, and if he wanted to really control them, he had to carry out long-term brainwashing like Poor Cicada and Cangshu.
Lu Maoshou finished his spell and said to everyone:
"It's not far from Handan, the capital of Zhao Guoguo, I have an old man in Handan, who is in a high position, you wait and go with me to meet him and make plans again!"
Everyone agreed in unison, and the Lumao Life Expectant docked the big ship in a no-man's land, and then took the four hidden masters of the poor cicada, Cangshu, Jumang, and Bald Yue and four ghost soldiers to Handan to see Li Dui.
At this time, Li Dui was planning, but he was overwhelmed, and he didn't want Lu Maoshou to come, so he was overjoyed. Li Dui only lived under Xiangbang Feiyi and Anpingjun Zhao Cheng in Zhao State, and he knew in his heart that Zhao was too old to worry, as long as Feiyi was in Zhao State, he would never have a bright future. Zhao Yong, the king of Zhao Wuling, wanted to set up his eldest son Zhao Zhang as the acting king, Li Dui secretly supported Zhao Zhang, and the two agreed that Zhao Zhang would call the queen Tian Burude as the prime minister, and the future would be slowly planned. Li Dui knew in his heart that if Zhao Zhang successfully won Lingshou, Zhao Yong would definitely make Zhao Zhang the acting king. At this time, Lu Maoshou came, and also brought a group of hermit masters, Li Dui invited Zhao Zhang, and introduced Lu Maoshou to Zhao Zhang. After Zhao Zhang learned about Lu Maoshou's skills, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, especially after seeing the immortal soldiers, he was even more surprised, thinking that with such a talent to help, it would be much easier to recapture the Zhao State that originally belonged to him.
Zhao Zhang, Li Dui, Tian Buli and Lu Maoshou decided to let Lu Maoshou lead the hermit masters and immortal soldiers to participate in the attack on Lingshou, first, to take Lingshou and pave the way for Zhao Zhang to become king;
King Tian of Qi personally led 300,000 troops to crusade against the Song State. Tian Di first sent the famous general Kuang Zhang to lead 100,000 troops to Taoyi, an important city of the Song Kingdom, and led 200,000 troops to the south of Taoyi, pretending to encircle Taoyi, but in fact he was preparing to secretly penetrate Shangqiu, the capital of the Song Kingdom, and separate Taoyi and Shangqiu.
Dai Yan, the king of Song, heard that Kuang Zhang, a famous general of Qi State, attacked Taoyi, and in a hurry, he hurriedly sent the general Qiu Ye to lead 80,000 troops to aid Taoyi. Kuang Zhang's attack on Taoyi was intended to attract reinforcements from the Song State, so that the King of Qi could sneak attack Shangqiu, so he intensified the siege of the city more and more. King Qi Tiandi saw the plan of the king of Song, led an army of 200,000 directly into Shangqiu, and the soldiers came to the city in less than a day.
The King of Qi had been attacking the city for more than half a month, and Shangqiu City was in danger several times, and gradually could not support it. When it was critical, King Song had to urgently order Qiu Liquid to come to his aid. King Qi had already prepared and secretly ambushed all the way to intercept Qiu Li. Qiu Liquid was suddenly intercepted, fearless in the face of danger, and personally drove four by eight "dead cars" to charge ahead. There was a long iron spike in front of the dead car, which ran rampant all the way and ran over, no one could stop it, and the Qi soldiers could only watch Qiu Ye lead his troops to break through.
Qiu Liquid arrived outside Shangqiu City, and the King of Qi organized soldiers and horses to intercept it, but it was also to no avail, so he had to watch Qiu Liquid lead his men and horses into Shangqiu City. The king of Qi stepped up the siege of the city, although there were more Qiu Liquid defending the city in Shangqiu City, but after all, the soldiers of Qi were strong and strong, and there were 200,000 troops attacking the city day and night.
In desperation, Qiu Liquid had no choice but to use a thunderous fireball and personally drive four by eight dead cars out of the city to break the enemy. Qiu Liquid drove the chariot dragging the thunder fireball rampant in the Qi army, and when the thunder fireball exploded, it was extremely powerful, and it kept making huge noises and fires in the Qi army, and the Qi soldiers were stunned for a while. King Qi didn't expect that there were such terrible people, terrible cars, and terrible things in the world, so he had to order the army to retreat ten miles back and station, and then think of a strategy to break the enemy.
Zhao Yong, the father of Zhao State, was overjoyed when he heard that the battle of Qi and Song had reached a stalemate, and immediately asked Zhao Zhang to lead 100,000 troops to attack Lingshou. Zhao Yong was afraid that Zhao Zhang would lose, so he asked his most valued young general Lian Po to be Zhao Zhang's deputy general and assist Zhao Zhang in capturing Lingshou.
Zhao Zhang and Lian Po led an army to surround Lingshou, Lian Po suggested to Zhao Zhang, let him enter the city to persuade the King of Zhongshan to surrender, Zhao Zhang had Lu Maoshou and others to help, he thought that he was in control, and he didn't care about Lian Po, so he ignored it. Lian Po was originally a native of Zhongshan, and knew that Zhao Zhang was a murderous person, and he was worried that the Zhao army would slaughter the city after the city was broken, so he put forward a proposal to persuade him to surrender. Seeing that Zhao Zhang did not allow it, Lian Po retreated and said:
In the past, after the Qi people broke the Yan, they burned, killed and plundered, and the Yan people rebelled, and the Anyang Jun had to treat the people in Lingshou City well, first, he could not follow in the footsteps of the people, and secondly, it would be convenient for him to rule in the future!"
"The people of Zhongshan are at ease, how can I Zhao Junjun be at ease? This son is here, you don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Zhang said disapprovingly.
Lian Po was unhappy, but he was helpless. Zhao Zhang's army began to attack the city the next morning, and at the end of the day, Lingshou City was crumbling.
When King Zhongshan and Sima Xi saw that the Qi people did not come to save Zhongshan Kingdom, they knew that Lingshou City would not last for a few days, and they had no intention of defending the city. On the evening of the third day, Zhao Zhang realized that the time was almost up, so he sent out the undead ghost soldiers. The soldiers defending the city of Zhongshan Kingdom saw that these things that were neither human nor ghostly were invulnerable, and they were so frightened that they could not possess their bodies, and hurriedly threw away their weapons and fled to the city.
Poor Chan, Cang Shu and others opened the gate of Lingshou City, and Zhao Zhang instructed Lian Po to stay outside the city, and he took Lu Maoshou and others into Lingshou to find Sima Xi's gold and silver belongings. In 296 BC, Lingshou, the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom, was broken, and Zhongshan Kingdom perished.
The king of Qi retreated and stationed ten miles, thinking that there was a god such as Qiu Li, and the cost of breaking Shangqiu City was too great, so it was better to tightly surround Shangqiu City, cut off the supply of grain and grass materials in the city, and first transport the nine big tripods in the Dayi Mausoleum outside Shangqiu City back to Linzi.
King Qi has been peeking at Jiuding for a long time, and he has already sent people to keep an eye on Jiuding while fighting, ready to take the tripod at any time. In the early morning of this day, the king of Qi sent people to surround the Da Yi Mausoleum, moved the nine Da Ding to the carriage one by one, and personally led 30,000 horses to prepare to transport the Jiu Ding back to Linzi. No matter how divine the arrows are, they can't fight against thousands of troops and horses in broad daylight, so they can only look at Ding and sigh, watching the Qi soldiers take away Jiuding. The king of Qi could have only taken the Shending and not the Song State, but in order to let the Qi people understand that he was the first person in the Qi State and not Xue Gongtian Wen, he ordered the general Tian Qiao to transfer 80,000 troops from the northern Yan defense line to help the battlefield, in order to besiege Shangqiu City and take the Song State in one fell swoop.
When Yan Wang Ji Zhi heard that Qi had dispatched nearly 400,000 troops to attack the Song State, and learned that Qi had transferred 80,000 troops from Yan's defense line to support the Song Dynasty, a glimmer of hope was ignited in his heart. At this time, it has been 18 years since King Yan Zhao ascended the throne, and in the past 18 years, he has worked hard to revitalize the Yan State in order to take revenge on the Qi State; however, Yan is weak and Qi is strong, and there has been no chance for 18 years, and it can be said that the only opportunity has appeared in 18 years.
King Yan couldn't hold back his hope for revenge, although he remembered that Su Qin persuaded him not to act rashly, but he also thought that Su Qin had achieved nothing in the past eighteen years, so he summoned Prime Minister Xin and General Le Ying. At this time, Le Yi was fighting Beidi in the north, and the general Qin Kai was attacking Donghu in the east, so King Yan summoned Ju Xin and Le Yi's nephew Le Ying to discuss major matters. Although Ju Xin is Yan Xiang, both civil and military, his actual status in Yan is not as good as Le Yi. King Yan asked Ju Xin and Le Ying for their opinions on whether they could take the opportunity to attack the Qi State, and the two of them were eager to make contributions and agreed. King Yan was eager for revenge, and immediately reorganized his soldiers and horses, transferred grain and grass, and prepared to cut down.
Lu Maoshou took a lot of gold and silver treasures from Zhongshan Kingdom, and took many folk girls captive and brought them to the big ship on the Yellow River. In addition to being happy, Lu Maoshou remembered the special feeling when he used his mind to perceive Shending in Luoyi in the past, and remembered Sun He's words about Jiuding on his deathbed, and he couldn't let go of Jiuding in his heart, so he sent Bald Yue ashore to inquire. Lu Maoshou knew that Jiuding was not an extraordinary thing, and knew that the King of Qi had always peeped at Jiuding, and heard that the Qi and Song wars had reached a stalemate, so he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seek Jiuding, but he didn't expect that after Bald Yue went ashore, he happened to meet the team of King Qi carrying Jiuding back to Linzi. After Bald Yue came back to report, Lu Maoshou immediately led everyone and the undead soldiers to catch up with the convoy of King Qi transporting Jiuding.
"Divine soldiers descend from the sky, protect the divine ding!" Poor Cicada and Cang Shu and the others walked in front of the ghost soldier phalanx and shouted loudly towards the Qi soldiers.
Qi soldiers fired arrows towards the ghost soldiers' phalanx, the ghost soldiers did not fall in the arrows, and the Qi soldiers could not figure out the situation, and a large group of men and horses rushed over to slash and kill the ghost soldiers. Several Qi soldiers stabbed the ghost soldiers in the body with spears, the ghost soldiers seemed to be unconscious, and the poor cicadas and others were brave and invincible, and the Qi soldiers found that it was indeed a divine soldier descending from the sky, and they were frightened, and they shouted "Divine soldiers descend from the sky!" and fled one after another.
The Qi soldiers in the back didn't know the situation yet, and watched the Qi soldiers in front flee in all directions like crazy, rushing up wave after wave, but they all fled like the Qi soldiers in front. King Qi looked at the tens of thousands of horses and horses for a while, and most of them ran away, and they all shouted "Divine soldiers descend from the sky!", so frightened that he couldn't take care of Jiuding anymore, and fled quickly with the rest of the soldiers and horses.
Lu Maoshou's men captured some remnants of the defeated soldiers, ordered them to escort Jiuding, and quickly headed for the big boat on the bank of the Yellow River.
King Qi Tiandi fled back to Linzi in one go, and when he heard that the army of Yan was attacking Qi, he had to urgently order Kuang Zhang to lead the army to first aid. The army of Yan has already connected the five cities of Qi, and as soon as Kuang Zhang's army arrived, the Yan army stopped the offensive. The king of Qi came to his senses and knew that the attack on the Song could not be completed this time, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army from the Song State and attacked the Yan army with all his might.
In less than half a month, the Yan army was defeated and retreated, but was captured by the Qi State and captured five cities, fortunately Le Yi and Qin Kai returned and led the army to support, and the Qi army stopped the offensive.
