Now that it has been decided to call Le Yi back to Jicheng, a new question arises - the 200,000 Yan army cannot be without a backbone, so who should be the main general?
Immediately, a minister came forward with a recommendation: "I think it is appropriate to appoint General Qi Jie as the commander-in-chief of the three armies!"
Robbery?
This is a familiar name - he is also a fierce general with great achievements in the Yan Kingdom.
This Qijie general was born in a run-down noble family. He gradually climbed up the ranks with his swords and halberds and assumed the position of general... Appointing this Qijie who was born in the army as a general may appease the 200,000-year-old Yan army. dissatisfied.
Prince Ji Lezi was still a little worried: "If you change generals on the spot, will it happen..."
The ministers looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed——
What's there to be afraid of?
Are you afraid of the remaining defeated generals in Jimo City?
"Prince, don't worry - changing generals before the battle is indeed a taboo for military strategists... but the specific situation must be analyzed in detail!"
"There are only tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people in Jimo City who are stubbornly resisting. It is not enough to defend the city. They will definitely not dare to attack my 200,000-strong army!"
"If you give those Qi people a hundred courages, they won't dare to go out of the city to fight!"
"If they dare to leave the city, it will be a good thing - the robber general can easily annihilate them and capture Jimo!"
Ji Lexi nodded slightly, seemingly relieved, but his eyebrows were still slightly raised.
One of the ministers understood the prince's worries and persuaded him with a smile: "Is the prince worried about the king punishing evil?"
"The incident happened suddenly. The prince took action with an iron fist and obeyed the authority urgently. He stabilized a turmoil that was about to break out... It was a great achievement! When the king comes back from Yunmengze, even if it is too late to reward him, how can he criticize the prince harshly? ?”
"Even if we wrongly accuse Lord Chang, we will not really do anything to Lord Chang... we will just detain him in Jicheng and wait for the king to come back before making a decision."
"The situation is urgent now, and this is the only feasible way... If the king is responsible afterwards, we will all serve as witnesses to exonerate the prince!"
The rest of the ministers also nodded in agreement: "Prince, don't worry."
"I am willing to testify for the Crown Prince!"
Prince Ji Lezi let go of his last worries and showed a smile on his face: "In that case, the prince can rest assured."
"Pass on my order - the prince of this prison country will issue an edict to Lord Chang on behalf of your Majesty, and order Lord Chang to return to Jicheng immediately and state his thoughts!"
…
In the Yan Army's position outside Jimo City, the soldiers patrolled back and forth on the camp wall with long swords in hand, showing an orderly appearance.
This is the camp of 200,000 Yan State troops - the blue flags of Yan State are flying in the air for days, which is really majestic.
Le Yi is known for his rigorous military management - the outer camp walls are meticulously built, and there are continuous large tents in the middle, surrounding Le Yi's handsome tent in the center. Outside the commander's tent, a huge flag fluttered in the wind, with four big characters written on it in Yan Kingdom's seal characters -
'Chang Guo Jun Yi'.
Even though Jimo in front of him was 'no threat', Le Yi still had very strict requirements on the troops under his command... Having said that, this made many soldiers a little dissatisfied.
The 200,000 Yan warriors who conquered such a powerful Qi were all in high spirits. It was the time of arrogance and domineering.
The small Jimo City only has 8,000 stinky fish and rotten shrimps at best. How dare it take the initiative to attack?
Laughing to death.
If the remaining defeated generals of Qi really dare to come out, they will all be wiped out!
We might as well end this two-year expedition as soon as possible and return home with bags of loot...
…
Inside the handsome tent, Le Yi, dressed in civilian clothes, was correcting official documents with the help of several clerks.
Le Yi's eyebrows were slightly raised, his sleeves were rolled up, and his fingers were flipping quickly... After a moment, he pushed aside a stack of paper documents and bamboo slips that had been processed, and said to the clerk who was responsible for carrying the slips. : "One more batch."
The clerk quickly moved the official documents that had been handled on the case and sent them to the next room to be sorted and distributed... At the same time, he also moved a new pile of official documents for the agency.
Le Yi picked up his pen and continued to review——
According to the instructions of King Yan Zhao - all military and government affairs, large and small, in Qi will be handled and decided by Le Yi on his behalf.
The "Jimo Offensive and Defensive Battle" in front of us is already lackluster - it's just a simple confrontation; but there are so many official documents and memorials in Qi District, and it is troublesome to deal with them one by one.
"There are still sporadic resistances from the people in various places..." Le Yi rubbed his temples and said to himself.
"But the frequency and intensity of resistance are much lower than when they first occupied Qi two years ago."
"The strategy of embracing gentleness is still very effective..."
Le Yi picked up his pen and slowly wrote a row of neat characters on the memorial to quell the chaos: 'Only punish the rebellious, continue to be gentle...punish the officials, appease the rebellious people...'
There was the sound of fast walking outside the door. Le Yi put down his pen, raised his head, and raised his eyebrows - he had already issued a strict order that no one in the army was allowed to walk... Who is coming? Dare you openly defy the ban in front of yourself?
The curtain was opened, and what came into view was the special envoy sent by Crown Prince Ji Lezi... The special envoy had a face with Chinese characters, and his face was full of determination to die.
Le Yi was a little confused.
The special envoy took a step forward and said, "I am the envoy of the Crown Prince of the Supervisory State, and I have come here to deliver the order - Lord Chang, please summon all the generals, and I will issue the order in public."
Le Yi frowned, a little displeased with the envoy's rudeness, but he didn't care and waved to the soldiers outside the tent.
Soon, the gathering drum started to sound.
Not long after, more than thirty generals of the Yan State gathered together, with excitement on everyone's face.
It's been a long time since Chang Guojun's drum to gather generals has been sounded... Could it be that Chang Guojun finally felt that the time was right, or had given up on some "soft" policy and decided to launch a final offensive against the Jimo city in front of him?
Very good! Very good!
Hurry and kill the remaining enemies in front of you, and then you can go home!
Some generals are even gearing up, waiting to seize the 'main attack' position later, so that they can gain the last merit in this battle against Qi...
Some people looked at the prince's special envoy, trying to figure out who this strange face was.
Le Yi was already neatly dressed and sitting on the commander's seat. He looked at the prince's envoy and said, "All the generals have arrived. Please give the order to the envoy."
The special envoy stood up, unfolded the letter in his hand, and looked solemn in front of everyone——
"People say that Lord Chang has evil intentions and wants to make himself king. The Prince of the Supervisory State has an order - Lord Chang must return to Jicheng immediately and present himself to his face! As soon as he responds to military affairs, the general will temporarily take charge of it..."
As soon as he said this, it was as if a detonation bomb was thrown into the tent.
The generals of the Yan army all opened their mouths in shock, and fell into a brief silence at first... When these arrogant generals reacted, they exploded in an instant!
