"Trash! They are all a bunch of trash greedy for merit!" Tian Bijiang no longer looked like the hero he used to be, and his defenses were completely broken.
According to the spies' report - Xiong Wuliang only had 10,000 private soldiers under his command.
There are more than 20 cities in the southern part of Qi State, with a total of at least 60,000 garrison soldiers... According to Tian Bijiang's thinking - even if Xiong Wuliang is really invincible, he will have to attack the cities one by one.
Even if the generals of the Qi army who defended the city were mediocre in ability, they still had the city wall to rely on.
Even if it cannot be defended, it can sufficiently delay the Chu army and cause a lot of damage to the Chu army.
Tian Bijiang had calculated in his mind - even according to the most pessimistic view, the 10,000 Chu troops under Xiong Wuliang would have to trek through the southern part of Qi for at least several months before they could have a chance to endanger [Jucheng].
And now...
The messenger was trembling and did not dare to speak at all, for fear of being burned.
King Qi Tian Bijiang barely calmed down the shock in his heart and murmured to himself: "Marquis Quyang, Xiong Wuliang, you are truly worthy of being called upon."
After a while, Tian Bijiang seemed to have made some decision. He called the servant and said in a deep voice: "Xuan Mengchangjun enters the palace."
The waiter was startled and seemed to realize something, but he did not dare to interrupt.
After bowing his head and accepting the order, he left in a hurry.
…
Mengchang Jun's Mansion.
The so-called Mengchang Lord of Qi State was named Tian Wen, and he was also a famous figure in the Warring States Period.
In later generations, this man, together with Huang Xie, Chunshen Lord of Chu State, Zhao Sheng, Pingyuan Lord of Zhao State, and Wei Wuji, Xinling Lord of Wei State, were known as the four great princes of the Warring States Period.
At the moment, the other three are still relatively unknown, such as Huang Xie, who has not even reached the age of being crowned - but Mengchang Jun Tianwen is already a hot minister in the Qi State.
At this moment, Tian Wen is practicing his sword.
"Xue Gong, the king has sent someone to invite you to the palace to discuss matters." The retainer reported softly.
Tian Wen put down the sword in his hand and wiped the sweat from his face, feeling a little surprised.
As we all know, although Tian Wen has outstanding talents, King Qi has somewhat neglected him in recent years... The reason is also very simple -
Tian Bijiang is getting old and feels increasingly unable to do what he wants every year. However, Tian Wen was still young and powerful, but he was almost invincible... There was always a little room left for the next king of Qi.
In the heart of Qi King Tian Bijiang, talents like Mengchang Jun Tianwen should be reserved for the future prince to become prime minister after he ascends the throne.
Then at this moment, he cannot be allowed to control too much power.
In this way, when the prince ascends the throne a hundred years later, he can naturally worship Lord Mengchang as his prime minister, so that Lord Mengchang, who has always been "depressed", will be grateful to the new monarch.
This is called the skill of the superior to control others.
Mengchang Jun Tian Wen is so smart that he can naturally figure out Tian Bijiang's thoughts - so he doesn't fight or fight, and waits peacefully in the house for Tian Bijiang to stretch his legs and stare, drink tea and sing every day, and make friends with the heroes and righteousness of the world. Scholars also enjoy it.
Why did the king go out of his way and summon me to the palace today?
Could it be that something big happened?
Tian Wen dressed neatly and followed the hurried chamberlain into the palace - he saw a subtle atmosphere in the palace, ministers and officials were running around in a hurry, and frontline messengers with feathers on their backs walked from one room to another. .
Tian Wen's heart sank.
This is definitely news coming back from the front line.
And it's definitely not news of a big victory... Looking at the expressions on these people's faces, they must have lost the battle, and it was a big defeat.
Could it be the Battle of Jixi - the defeat of Qi?
"Xuan Mengchang entered the palace to see you..."
Tian Wen checked his attire and then strode into the palace - to his surprise, King Qi was the only one in the palace.
"Tian Wen was summoned to pay homage to my king." Tian Wen bowed deeply.
Tian Bijiang's face was solemn and straightforward: "Mi Liang, Marquis of Quyang of the Chu State, crossed the Song State and marched to the southern border of Qi. In one battle, he beheaded 60,000 Qi troops. Now the Chu army is pointing directly at Jucheng."
"Once Jucheng falls, the royal capital Linzi will be in danger."
"What do you think?"
When Tian Wen heard that he was not defeated in the Battle of Jixi, he breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then opened his mouth in shock when he realized what happened!
Listening to King Qi's words, Jucheng is already in danger... and is probably even ready to fall!
In the end what happened?
Quyanghou Miliang? Even Mr. Mengchang, who spends his days fishing in his mansion, is no stranger to this name!
Tian Wen thought in his mind and said decisively: "Your Majesty - no matter what, we must not alert the Jishui army!"
[Jishui] Over there, 500,000 coalition troops and 600,000 Qi troops faced each other across the river.
This is a battle that determines life and death, so we must not be careless.
If the news about the southern border of Qi reaches the 600,000 Qi army, it will definitely cause an uproar - even if Chuzi can hold it back and will not rush into a decisive battle with the coalition forces... the morale of the three armies will inevitably decline, making the generals uneasy.
Qi Wang Tian Bijiang nodded appreciatively: "I mean the same thing."
It has to be Mr. Mengchang, whose IQ is online!
Just now, many ministers came to see them in turn, and they all advocated that Chuzi defeat the coalition forces in [Jixi] as soon as possible and return to defense, or that they should divide troops from Chuzi and come back to defend.
They are all a bunch of idiots!
Qinan is just a minor disease of scabies.
And if the Battle of Jixi is defeated, Qi will not be far from being destroyed!
Originally, Jishui was used as a natural barrier, in an attempt to engage in a logistical war of attrition with the coalition forces to avoid damage... If we attack rashly, wouldn't we give up the advantage of the natural barrier to others?
The King of Qi waved his hand and said decisively: "Come here! Pass the King's order to block the news. Don't let the news of the 'Battle of Qinan' reach the Jishui frontline army!"
Tian Bijiang looked at Tian Wen again and said in a deep voice: "This is a time when the country is in crisis... I ordered you to clean up Qinan's mess, are you willing?"
Although the southern part of Qi State is already in a state of decay.
Cleaning up the mess at this time is simply a hell of a job!
But of course Tian Wen didn't dare to spit out the word "no" at this time.
"Your Majesty, Tian Wen requests military power!" Tian Wen asked for orders without thinking.
Tian Bijiang made a decision immediately and without hesitation: "The king's orders - from the widow's level down, money, food, soldiers, soldiers and civilians... you can make the decision as soon as it is called upon!"
"As long as you don't interfere in the Jixi War, even if you want me to go into battle with a sword and fight with the Chu people, I will still listen to your orders!"
Tian Wen sighed and held his hand: "I will do my best to repay the king for his kindness!"
…
In the territory of Qi State, news of the war in Qinnan was blocked.
But among the other countries, news spread wildly that the Chu army defeated the Qi army.
Jixi Allied Forces Camp.
Le Yi's hands trembled, he fell to the ground and exclaimed: "How is that possible!"
"Is there really such a thing as a god-like man in the world?"
Xiong Wuliang’s black and white words are clear——
The Chu army had 10,000 men, and the Qi army gathered and annihilated 60,000 men! The Chu army has entered Jucheng!
Hold the grass!
This was a military newspaper. Even if Xiong Wuliang was bragging, he would certainly not commit any fraud in the military newspaper... Le Yi was greatly shocked!
The Chu army that he looked down on and didn't even invite them to come to Jixi to join the other five-nation coalition forces... actually created such a brilliant record!
Ten thousand people, annihilate sixty thousand people!
Just when Le Yi was shocked, the curtain of the camp was opened, and Qin General Bai Qi, who was wearing a helmet and pierced armor, took a roll of paper in his hand and hurriedly stepped in: "Brother Le——"
"Have you heard about Qinan?!"
