The dawn breaks across the sky, and the silent night will eventually pass away.
The Qi army had just crossed Pinglu and had not yet reached the territory of Lu. The scouts on the front line reported the news that Kangfu and Ren Guo had fallen.
As Kuang Zhang expected, the Qin and Qi armies met outside Sangqiu City on the west bank of Surabaya.
At this time, the Qin army had just experienced two fierce battles between Kangfu and Ren Guo, and its vitality had been slightly weakened.
Although the Qi army occupies the advantage of the terrain, after all, it has come from a long distance and its momentum is slightly poor.
When the two powerful armies met, the battle instantly became tense.
Yinghua took the lead in organizing the Qin army to launch two rounds of attacks, but the results were unsatisfactory and failed to shake the Qi soldiers' formation at all.
The two armies fought fiercely until evening, and both sides had a tacit agreement to withdraw their troops.
"This group of people is indeed as brave and well-trained as the rumors say. They can actually stand firm under the two attacks of our Great Qin. Not bad, not bad!"
In the main tent of the Qin army, Yinghua stood at the top and praised the Qi army's combat effectiveness.
The law of the world is that the strong is king. In this era of broken rites and broken music, only the strong can be respected. To be recognized by Yinghua, Qi Jun is undoubtedly powerful.
"With its great reputation, there are no false soldiers. However, our Great Qin encountered an ambush by the Qi army here, which shows that our army's plan has been seen through by the Qi people. It is not good."
Sima Cuo felt a little irritable at this time.
Why do the people of Qi seem to know what the Qin army will do next? He really couldn't understand.
"Who is the general commanding the Qi army this time?" Sima Cuo tilted his head and asked a young general behind him.
"Coming back to your concubine, I am Kuang Zhang, the senior official of Qi State." the young general replied.
"Kuang Zhang? That's it." Sima Cuo's expression changed slightly and he said secretly in his heart.
Sima Cuo had also heard about Kuang Zhang's reputation for being good at planning. In the past, Qi and Wei met in Xuzhou, and Kuang Zhang and Hui Shi's debate on respecting the king had long been recited in the Xia Dynasty.
"Don't worry, Sir. Although the Qi army is strong, it is just a stepping stone for the rise of our Great Qin. See if I lead the army to another round tomorrow, and I must let the people of Qi know how powerful my Great Qin Iron Army is, hahaha ." Yinghua looked at Sima Cuo's sad face, patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
In Yinghua's heart, it is not shameful to admit that Qi Jun is powerful. His brother-in-law Ying Ji once taught him: only by correctly understanding the strengths of his enemy can he defeat him more easily.
Yinghua was born in the later years of Qin Xiaogong. At that time, the Qin State had begun to reform, and the Qin army's combat effectiveness was also increasing day by day. At the beginning, it fought with Wei, although there were victories and defeats.
But after Yinghua grew up, Qin almost failed in its foreign annexation war.
Although the Qi army is strong, it is easy to compare with anyone. In Yinghua's perception, the Qin army is invincible.
Sima Cuo gave a wry smile. Just as he was about to say something, a scout's report came from outside the tent.
"General, the Chu army has advanced to Piyi (now northwest of Weishan County, Shandong Province)..."
In Sangqiu City, Kuang Zhang and Qian Fu stood on the towering city wall, looking at the Qin Army's camp ten miles away.
"As expected, the general knows things well. This Qin army really comes from Kangfu. I admire him." Mr. Qian said flatteringly.
Qian Fu is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties, with a few white hairs sprouting from his neatly combed temples. Like Chunyu Kun, he is from a commoner background.
Kuang Zhang glanced at the man known as the first warrior in Qi State and ignored his flattery.
Instead, he pointed at the Qin army camp in front of him, which was like a fortress, and said worriedly: "Fortunately, I noticed it in time this time. If the Qin people capture Sangqiu City, I am afraid that our army will be in danger."
Qian Fu echoed: "The Qin army's reputation as tigers and wolves is true. If it were not for the advantage of Sangqiu's terrain, our Qi army would not be as good as a field warrior."
"The small wall of Sangqiu City is in ruins, so it will definitely not be able to defend it for a long time." Kuang Zhang said, twirling his beard.
As if he thought of something, Kuang Zhang suddenly turned his head, stared at Mr. Qian and said, "I have a plan. I want to tell the general. Can the general think it's feasible?"
Seeing Kuang Zhang's solemn expression, Mr. Qian knew that this must be a dangerous move, so he solemnly clasped his fists and replied, "I'm all ears."
Kuang Zhang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The scouts just came to report that the Chu army had crossed the border between Qi and Chu and was stationing troops in Piyi. I think the Qin army had also received the news by this time.
This time the Qin army mobilized a large army to attack us. They went straight in alone, and they had to take care of the rear for fear that Han and Wei were plotting behind our backs. At this time, the Chu State stationed troops in the rear of the Qin State. I think the Qin Army General was hesitant at this time.
I want to pretend to send envoys to the Qin camp to negotiate peace with the Qin army, and wait for an opportunity to change and mark some of the flags of our Qi army and mix them into the Qin army, waiting to cooperate with our Qi army's main offensive force to defeat the enemy. "
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate. There are spies planted by the king in the army. If the general changes his flag at this time, there may be traitors in the court who accuse you of betraying Qi and surrendering to Qin." Qianfu reminded kindly.
Perhaps his experience in the lower class life when he was young created Qian Fu's cautious and tactful temperament at this time.
"That's all we have for now. If the Qin army is allowed to break through Sangqiu, the front will be unobstructed, and our hinterland of Daqi will be mercilessly trampled by the iron hoofs of the Qin army.
A temporary reputation is nothing, besides, I believe the king can distinguish right from wrong! Kuang Zhang said with dignity.
Qianfu looked at the noble-born doctor in front of him and couldn't help but admire him secretly.
"After listening to what Pu Dan said, I am willing to lurk in the Qin camp to plan the general's plan!" Qian Fu was also somewhat infected.
After hearing what Qian Fu said, Kuang Zhang finally felt relieved. After all, as long as the two of them work together at this time, his plan can be implemented without any hindrance.
How can the judgment in the court affect the army thousands of miles away? After all, you will not be able to accept your fate externally.
"Okay! I'm relieved if the general can say that. But I'm afraid the general can't do anything about lurking in the military camp." Kuang Zhang bowed his hand to Qian Fu.
Qian Fu's appearance was so outstanding and famous that he was easily recognized by the Qin army.
"Qilin'er, come out."
As soon as Kuang Zhang finished speaking, a man walked out from the corner of the crenellations of the city wall. He was dressed in a one-piece black robe, and his head was tightly covered by a hood.
Qian Fu suddenly felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. His muscles were trembling and he was about to pull out the long sword from his waist.
"General, wait a minute, this is the guest of my house, Black Qilin." Kuang Zhang hurriedly stopped the bearded man's next move. Although he also wanted to see the famous battle between the best warrior in Qi and the best assassin in the world.
"Qilin'er, this time you will lead five thousand partial troops and lurk in the Qin camp. When I use the rocket as a guide, you will cooperate with our main attack force to defeat the enemy." Kuang Zhang said in front of him.
"Here!" Black Qilin responded respectfully.
The voice is neutral, and it is difficult to distinguish between male and female.
After saying that, the figure of the black unicorn slowly disappeared from the place.
This scene left Qian Fu dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but swallow secretly in his throat.
