After Mu Ling was closed, the soldiers of Qi Dynasty opened the door after confirming the identity of Lord Mengchang, and let Lord Mengchang enter the city.
Tian Wen didn't waste any time, immediately took inventory of the warehouse and reorganized the army.
Climb the city wall and look around -
The mountains are rugged, and Muling Pass is like a natural chasm, stuck between the mountains. It stretches for hundreds of miles on both sides. It is the Great Wall defense line built by the Qi State based on the mountains.
There is really only one man who can stand in the way, and no one can escape the danger!
Tian Wen was slightly relieved - he had tens of thousands of troops under his command, and with such a dangerous situation, he doubted that the Chu troops would be able to break in.
There is also a legend about the origin of the name "Mu Ling" - the fifth generation king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou Mu, Ji Man, came here when he was touring the world. He saw the majestic mountains, covered with clouds and fog, and couldn't help but feel very comfortable. , it is convenient to build a palace here and stay here.
It took a long time until King Mu's beloved concubine Sheng Ji fell ill and passed away. King Mu was so sad that he buried his beloved concubine on this mountain, hence the name Mu Ling.
At this moment, Tian Wen saw the majestic mountain scenery and couldn't help but sigh that the rumors were true.
"My lord, this is the mountain map." The elder on the side handed over the thick ancient sheepskin scroll very discerningly.
Tian Wen took the ancient scroll, unfolded it, looked at it carefully, and fell into deep thought.
The situation at hand has become clear - Xiong Wuliang only has 10,000 Chu troops under his command.
It seems that there is no threat to Mulingguan.
If Muling Pass is in the hands of the Qi army, the Chu army will be unable to attack Jimo County, and it will be even harder to pose an effective threat to Linzi.
As long as you guard Muling Pass until the coalition forces on the Jixi side run out of supplies and retreat, and Jixi Chuzi's 600,000-strong army returns for reinforcements, then the land lost at this time can be recovered.
But... although the Chu army currently only has 10,000 troops, it is possible that more troops will be added at any time!
The idiot King Mi Huai of Chu is famous among all the countries——
That guy is a famous southern barbarian monarch who goes back on his word.
Don't look at the fact that he was previously afraid of the power of Qi and wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight to reap the benefits, so he did not send out an army - he just gave Xiong Wuliang the saying of "acting cheaply".
But right now... Quyang Hou Miliang has achieved considerable results!
The entire Qinnan has fallen into the hands of the Chu people. If Muling Pass is broken again... there may even be a chance to destroy the Qi State!
Is it possible that Chu King Mi Huai was so moved that he changed his previous orders? Suddenly summoned hundreds of thousands of Chu troops to aid Xiong Wuliang?
Totally possible!
Therefore, the crisis has not been resolved!
Although Muling Pass is dangerous, Tian Wen is not confident that he can hold it against the siege of hundreds of thousands of Chu troops.
After frowning for a long time, Tian Wen let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had made some decision.
"Prepare the car!" Tian Wen ordered the elder.
The old man was confused and asked in a daze: "Prepare a car? Where are you going, Master?"
Tian Wen's words were astonishing: "I want to go to Jucheng! Meet Xiong Wuliang!"
…
Xiong Wuliang stood on the chariot and stared at the large city in front of him.
According to Zhou rites - the cities of vassal states are regulated, and you can't build them as big as you want.
However, since King Ping moved eastward, the authority of the Zhou royal family has gradually declined, and the rules set by the former emperors have ceased to exist in name only.
The [Jucheng] in front of us is not even the capital of the King of Qi, but in terms of scale, it is not smaller than Luoyang, the capital of the Emperor of Heaven!
The magnificent city wall stretches for miles.
The city walls are tall and made of bricks and stones.
It can only be said that the people of Qi are really rich!
At this moment, this huge city has been captured by Shaohu's three thousand vanguard troops - the Chu flag with red characters on a yellow background is flying on the city wall.
Shaohu went out of the city in person and bowed to Xiong Wuliang: "My lord, the last general has lived up to his command! This city has been captured!"
Xiong Wuliang nodded as a sign of commendation, then waved his hand: "Enter the city!"
The Qi army was defeated suddenly, and the Chu army arrived suddenly. Before the Qi civilians in the city could react, Shaohu had already rushed in and captured the city that was seriously under-defended.
None of these civilians had time to escape.
At this time, they were hiding at home, covering the doors and windows with heavy objects, and uneasily peeking out frightened eyes from the gaps in the doors and windows.
On the street, the soldiers of the Chu army in yellow armor held their swords in their hands and looked proud, looking like conquerors.
The old and new feuds between Qi and Chu can be traced back hundreds of years - Jucheng, an important city in the south of Qi State, was captured by the Chu people for the first time!
One can imagine the high morale and arrogance of the Chu army (you can think of the world-famous painting of Xipi's smiling face and mustache on the Eiffel Tower in Paris).
"Hide."
"Shh, don't make a sound..." The Qi people huddled in the corner, trembling.
The men looked terrified and hid behind the door with sticks in their hands.
Young women and women were sobbing softly...
The children stared at the chaos with ignorant and frightened eyes.
Who are the Chu people? Those are all demons!
It was a country that once called itself the 'Southern Barbarians' and was not ashamed of it!
Not to mention how the Qi army entered the territory of Chu last year and burned, killed and looted... One can imagine why the people of Chu would be merciful? He will definitely take revenge in an intensified manner!
Oh my God!
The people in Jucheng also knew that the Chu people were marching with the Five Nations Allied Forces... but they never took it to heart - they heard that the Chu people had very few troops and could not even defeat [Wuyang], let alone Jucheng.
They never dreamed that Jucheng would be broken by the enemy!
"Look at that person, he must be that person from Chu State!"
"Qu Yanghou!?"
"That man who kills people like hemp!" The people of Qi hid behind the doors and windows, whispering in horror.
In the State of Qi, the name 'Marquis of Chu Quyang' is simply the name of a devil!
Interspersed Fu Li fortress, surrounded and annihilated 30,000 Jiang Yu's Qi army; flooded Gaoping, wiped out 120,000 Tian Zhen's Qi army... Now he raised his troops to attack Qi, swept across Qinnan invincible, and took Jucheng directly...
Many people in Qi don't even dare to mention his name! When mentioning Quyang Hou, he is referred to as "that person".
In later generations, if translated into English, it would be 'you k
ow how' (Old Voldemort).
…
At this time, Xiong Wuliang was sitting on a bronze chariot. Under the huge flag of "Quyang Houliang", there were eight hundred soldiers with bright armor.
"So young?" Many people gasped——
"He's obviously still a young man!" The people of Qi were shocked.
Xiong Wuliang looked around and couldn't help but sigh - Qi is indeed a country with prosperous merchants, and it is indeed extremely rich.
On the ground, there are solid roads paved with gravel; in a mere Jucheng, the archways of inns, wine shops and other places are no less than those in Yingdu, Chu State; look at the doorways and eaves of the houses on both sides of the main road, there are actually many with whole-body structures. Bronze sculptures of mythical animals and copper and iron wind chimes.
Hold the grass!
Even Zhao Hua, who prides himself on being well-informed, was stunned: "This, this, this..."
Including Xiong Wuliang and Zhao Hua, a common sentence emerged in the hearts of all the Chu soldiers almost at the same time -
Get rich!
Xiong Wuliang looked at the houses and keenly noticed those evasive eyes.
Wherever he looked, those eyes immediately disappeared, as if they didn't dare to look at him.
Xiong Wuliang frowned and thought for a moment.
Although he is not the Virgin, if there is no benefit from killing, he is not the kind of pervert who takes pleasure in killing.
After pondering for a moment, Xiong Wuliang waved his hand and decisively ordered——
…
