Huang Xie snorted softly, looking down on the loser in front of him.
Who has made up his mind to abandon and defend hundreds of miles of land before the war has begun?
It's not impossible to show the enemy weakness and lure them deeper - but it can't be this way, right?
Even if you don't know how to fight, how can you even pretend to do it?
Don't say that Zilan didn't listen to advice - he listened to advice, but only from Zhaoju.
But then again, even Zhaoju, who advocates "only defending but not attacking", never said that he would give up hundreds of miles of land to others without firing a shot, right?
"If a man refuses to change his surname, then Huang Xie, the capital of Ying, does the same." Huang Xie said with his hands behind his hands.
Zilan waved her hand: "Zhu Zi, you are disturbing the morale of our army."
"Here comes someone, drag him out and chop him!"
Xiong Wuliang on the side was dumbfounded.
If the future Chun Shenjun is killed by this guy, it will be a big deal.
Prince Mi Heng couldn't stand it any longer and hurriedly came to the rescue——
"Zi Lan, this Mr. Huang is my prince's confidant, please show your respect..."
Zilan's soldiers who rushed in saw the prince speaking to protect people, and none of them could advance or retreat. They were huddled together in a mess...
Looking at Zilan again, she felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
Zhuo, why can’t you figure out anything today?
First, he punished Xiong Wuliang, but in the end he hit a snag. Not only did he lose his job, but he also lost a huge sum of 20,000 gold.
Then he was questioned again by the generals.
Now I want to kill Li Liwei, who seems to be easy to bully, but it turns out that he is a confidant of the prince, so I can't kill him.
Blanch.
Blood pressure is high!
There was a commotion in the tent for a long time, and it finally calmed down.
Zilan made the final decision: "I have decided on my plan, generals, please don't say any more!"
"If there is another person who openly disobeys the general's order, no matter what his identity is, I will not show mercy!"
All the generals in the tent curled their lips in unison. Although they did not speak, their faces were full of resistance to Zilan.
Huang Xie's eyes were spitting fire.
…
Xiong Wuliang watched the whole farce and secretly shook his head.
This Zi Lan is so useless!
Fortunately, the Qi people couldn't attack, otherwise the Chu army would definitely lose in this battle!
Why is Xiong Wuliang so sure that the Qi people can't get in?
Because Qi State and Chu State were not bordering each other at this time!
You must know that at this time, the two countries of Qi and Chu were separated by the puppet country of Yue!
King Si Jing of Yue used all his strength and was fighting to the death with the Qi army, blocking the Qi army to the north of Langya.
After the cheap father-in-law received Xiong Wuliang's help, he actually exploded with such strong fighting power, changing the history of being quickly annexed by Qi... Even Xiong Wuliang himself was shocked.
However, for the current Chu State, having Si Jing in front is really a great thing.
As long as Si is not stunned, Qi will never be able to set foot on the territory of Chu.
Xiong Wuliang never imagined that his casual move would now become the only dam before the flood in Qi...
In short, Qi's army cannot threaten Chu's territory for a while.
It was precisely because all the generals in the tent had figured this out that they could barely suppress their indignation against Zilan at this time.
If you stick to Xiapi, just stick to Xiapi.
As long as the Qi people cannot invade, the hundreds of miles of land in the north cannot be lost in a short time.
After Zilan calms down, if she can coax and persuade him, there might be room to persuade the former to change his tactics.
…
Just at this moment, I heard heavy footsteps outside the tent!
The door curtain was opened with a swish.
Two people covered in blood, whose clothes could no longer tell the color of their clothes, rushed in crawling and crawling!
"Magistrate Changshui, pay homage to the general..."
"Zhucheng County Magistrate, pay homage to the General!" These two men, covered in blood, were both county magistrates of Chu State.
Zilan frowned and glanced at the blood stains on the two of them with disgust.
In just one morning, this was the second time someone broke into his Chinese army camp covered in blood!
Zilan suppressed the irritability in her heart and said in a deep voice: "Two county magistrates, why are you like this?"
"Report to the general - the Qi army suddenly appeared, [Changshui] and [Zhucheng] have been captured -"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!
[Changshui] and [Zhucheng] are both small counties on the border of Chu State, located to the north of Xiapi, about seven or eight days' journey from Xiapi City.
In other words, before the seventh or eighth day, the Qi army had already appeared on the territory of Chu?
Didn't it mean that those 'remnants of the Yue Kingdom' were still clinging to Langya? So how did the people of Qi come here? Could it be possible to fly here with wings?
"After the Qi army broke through the city, they burned, killed and looted wantonly... Please send troops quickly to rescue me, general!" The two county magistrates were trembling all over, tears streaming down their faces.
The generals suddenly changed their expressions. For a moment, they didn't even bother to think about where this Qi army came from. They all looked at Zilan who was on the throne.
Zilan coughed lightly to cover up her inner panic.
He did not expect to encounter Qi's army so soon.
There are "remnants of the Yue Kingdom" blocking the front. This is why Zilan is confident that with 60,000 people, he can block the Qi army of 150,000 people.
Now this Qi army descended from the sky, shattering Zilan's calculations and making Zilan panic!
Zi Lan hid her trembling fingers in her sleeves, pretending to be calm——
"Since I'm here, you two county magistrates don't need to panic."
"How did the people of Qi appear?"
"How many Qi troops are there?"
The two county magistrates looked at each other with confusion on their faces: "Qi's army suddenly came out at night and broke open the city gate before I could wait for a reaction."
"Thanks to the desperate efforts of the family soldiers to save me, I was able to escape from the city."
"Although it is difficult to see clearly in the dark night, I can visually estimate that the Qi army must number at least tens of thousands of people!"
…
The two county magistrates spoke to each other and complemented each other.
Although it was said that Qi State was coming to fight Chu State, these two idiots had not panicked at all before.
Qi and Chu are not bordering each other, how can we panic?
As long as Si Jing's gang of Yue remnants remain strong, we will be safe here!
As a result, these two guys were not even prepared for the sentinels, but they were surprised by the Qi people's surprise attack at night. They were kicked off the bed without even figuring out where this group of Qi people came from.
"Commander, take advantage of the fact that the Qi army is small and send troops as soon as possible!"
"My whole family is still in the city..."
"Please general send troops to save me [Zhucheng]!"
Zi Lan composed herself and said in a deep voice——
"Don't panic."
"Everything is under my control!"
"According to my commander's previous decision - to guard Xiapi. Without my commander's order, the three armies are not allowed to leave the city! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
As soon as these words came out, the tent almost exploded.
Not to mention the two county magistrates who were in tears, the generals in the tent also said one after another: "This Qi army is not large in number, it must be the vanguard force... Why not take this opportunity to annihilate them and give the Qi people a headache!?"
Zilan had a sullen face, waved her sleeves, and said without any doubt——
"My commander-in-chief has issued an order, are you going to disobey it?"
"As long as you do what I say, when the Qi army runs out of food and grass, our three armies of Chu and Chu will naturally retreat without losing a single soldier -"
