Chapter 165: Qi Zhinan
In the southern part of Qi State, Hanshui County.
Compared to the barrenness in the northwest of Ye Kingdom, Hanshui County is like a place like paradise.
Especially in the southern part of Hanshui County, it borders Qianshu, the real country of paradise, which makes Hanshui County a unique place, where the tax revenue in one year is almost comparable to the overall harvest of Shuiyun County in ten years.
And the one who served as the county guard here was Dong Haoyu, who had a contest with Chu Yujia.
But at the beginning, the two did not go head-to-head, and when Dong Haoyu led the troops to attack Huling Pass, Chu Yujia had quietly led his troops to attack the capital of Qi State.
In the entire Qi country, among the younger generation, there are only a few who can be called top commanders.
Looking at the entire Qi country, the Ling clan is naturally the leader of the Shaozhuang faction, among which the well-known commanders are Dong Haoyu, Dou Jiankai, and Ling Siyuan.
Among them, it is natural to take Ling Siyuan, who was born in a famous family, as the leader, and Dou Jiankai, who was born second, followed by Dong Haoyu.
In the war of the Three Kingdoms of Ye, Qi and Jin, Ling Siyuan fought against the Ye army in the northwest battlefield, and dragged 100,000 Ye troops into the quagmire in Anjun so that they could not advance an inch, which can be described as a great contribution.
And Dou Jiankai, who defeated the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty on the frontal battlefield, shined in it, and then used roundabout tactics to annihilate nearly 100,000 Ye troops in Anjun, which allowed him to enter the history of Qi in the first battle.
With these two people in front of Zhuyu, it seems that Dong Haoyu is not so important, and has even been classified as a dispensable character.
But the world has forgotten that if Dong Haoyu hadn't made Qianshu dare not take half a step forward on the battlefield on the southern front, it would not only be Ye and Hou Jin who would attack Qi, but not only the two countries that attacked Qi, but the three kingdoms of Qi.
Dong Haoyu's way of using troops is to pay attention to the word 'scare', that is, with his own might, he scares you so much that he doesn't dare to march, that's all.
When the country was in a mess, he was able to patrol the border with 50,000 soldiers with great fanfare, which already explained everything.
In the county guard's mansion, Dong Haoyu sat on a rattan chair in the courtyard, it was early winter, but it was not yet cold in the southern part of Qi country, and even the leaves in many places had not yet withered.
Dong Haoyu raised his hand to look at the sun in the sky through his fingers, and it was not only after a long time did he slowly ask, "He went?"
"Yes, General. ”
The adjutant general arched his hand beside him and said: "I set off as early as a month and a half ago, count the days, and now I should have gotten there." ”
"Hmmm......"
Dong Haoyu hummed softly, and then continued to look at the sun in the sky, and only after a long time did he ask again: "Sun Zhong." ”
"The end will be. ”
"How many years have you been with me?"
Hearing this, Sun Zhong was puzzled, but he still spoke, "It's been eight years. ”
"Eight Years ......"
Dong Haoyu nodded and said, "I joined the army nine years ago, and after entering the army, I followed the master as a general, and then you came to me, right?"
"Yes, General. ”
Sun Zhong's face also showed a look of reminiscing about the past, and said with a smile: "The general at that time was not what he is now, and he was so high-spirited that people couldn't help but want to follow him when they saw it." ”
"False. ”
Dong Haoyu raised his head and pointed at Sun Zhong and said, "If you kid had the opportunity to go to Siyuan or Jiankai, it would definitely be impossible for him to come to my account." ”
Hearing this, Sun Zhong pursed his lips, raised his hand and touched his nose, and said with a smile: "What is Sun Zhong's ability, the general knows very well, even if the last general goes to their side, it is still not as high as today's achievements." ”
"That's true. ”
Dong Haoyu smiled and said, "You definitely don't understand, why I went to great lengths to find that kid, but let him go all the way to kill an innocuous person." ”
In this regard, Sun Zhong has long been very puzzled, but he has never asked, and now when he saw Dong Haoyu take the initiative to speak, he said: "General, the last general really doesn't understand, now that Ye Guo has made peace with us, at least there will be no war in the next ten years, not to mention that although that person is lucky enough to do some miracles that no one can do, but let Mr. Tao kill him, isn't it a bit of a chicken killing knife?"
"Killing chickens with a knife?"
Dong Haoyu shook his head and sighed, and said: "I won't tell you the truth on the side, even if I do, you may not be able to understand it, but there is one sentence I still have to make clear to you, this person is far from being as simple as you think, and you said that it is luck that he can enter the hinterland of Qi and even enter the palace, but you have to remember that luck is sometimes part of strength, not to mention that in his hands, there is such an iron army......"
"Iron Army?"
Sun Zhong was puzzled: "Are you talking about the Northwest Army?"
"Of course. ”
Dong Haoyu put down his hand, sat up, and said: "Although this army has not been out of the northwest over the years, but through various rumors, this army is absolutely extraordinary, if it goes out of the northwest one day, it will definitely give this world a big surprise." ”
"General, you seem to be overthinking......
Sun Zhong frowned and said, "Although that army is very famous in the rumors, there are many times when the rumors are not credible, but I don't think there is anything great about this army......
Dong Haoyu looked at Sun Zhong, looking like a son who could not be taught, and said, "That's because you haven't seen the nomads in the northwest, let alone the iron horsemen of Gumo Country." ”
"General, you're going a little too far. ”
Sun Zhong said nonchalantly: "Although we have never seen the nomads in the northwest, let alone the iron horsemen of Gumo, we have also fought with Donghu so many times over the years, and Donghu is also a nomad, no matter how you say it, it can't be much worse than those." ”
"It's much worse. ”
Dong Haoyu snorted coldly and said: "How else to say that you are a person, if you can use your martial arts skills a little bit in strategy, you will be the unparalleled fierce general in this world?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhong raised his hand and touched his nose.
Sun Zhong is definitely a neglected general in the Qi army, they always said before, how Zhao Fengshan under Ling Sirun's account is unparalleled in the world, and how Zhang Wutao under Dou Jian's account is invincible in the world, but what is the result?
Zhao Fengshan didn't mention it for the time being, just saying that this Zhang Wutao was crippled by Chu Yujia's empty hands, it can be seen that some people are often much more famous than they are.
And Sun Zhong is the one who has more ability than fame, and his reputation for following Dong Haoyu's side for his conscientious work over the years is not obvious, but what others don't know is that the number of mountain bandits he has killed alone is already uncountable.
But Sun Zhong's shortcomings are also obvious, that is, his skills are bigger than his brains, and many times he needs Dong Haoyu to tell him what he should do, and he will do it, if he is allowed to lead an army alone, I am afraid that he will be able to kill it alone, but when he looks back, his brothers are all dead.
Even Dong Haoyu, who had Sun Zhong's personality, sighed and said: "Remember what I said, the situation in the northeast and the northwest is completely two concepts, if Donghu can compare to half of those nomads in the northwest, I'm afraid we will have to suffer......"
