Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 274: Qi people attack

In the Yi Temple, the copper frame lamps and candles were all lit, illuminating the long table in the center of the hall.

Feng Rin, who is familiar with geography, looked at the picture on the case, which he found in the local treasury, and carefully identified the somewhat vague map. Then he pointed to a dot on it with his index finger and said, "Lv Commander, please look, Zhen Yi is here, and Pu Shuizhi is here. North location."

Xing Ao, who was waiting next to him, quickly put the crude terracotta warriors carved from wood on it, with the distinctive "Zhao" written on it in ink.

Feng Rin's finger moved westward: "To the west of Zhenyi, the more than 120 li from the capital Puyang is the land of Pubei, where Weiguo cities and towns are densely covered."

"The situation in the east and north of Zhendi is complicated. One hundred miles to the north is Qinyi of the State of Lu, fifty miles to the northeast is Linqiu, the doctor of the State of Qi, and dozens of miles to the east, is the Highland of the State of Lu. Fish and the fortress of Yuncheng, and Onozawa which is hundreds of miles in radius."

Xing Ao also put the wooden figurines representing the various forces on it one by one. In this way, the originally vague and abstract map became much clearer, and the forces of "Lu Weiqi" were intricately intersected within a radius of hundreds of miles.

The vision of the **** leaders is only limited to how to lead troops to fight. The analysis of this situation is not a strong point, and it is not even suitable for words, so it is still a one-man show between Zhao Wuxi and Zhang Mengtan. They are just Just follow along for a long time.

Zhang Mengtan pondered and analyzed: "In short, the vicinity of Zhenyi is the place where the forces of Cao, Wei, Qi and Lu intersect, rivers and rivers are all over, and there are robbers in Onozawa. The reason why we chose to attack this place, In addition to its location on the main traffic road, it is the complex relationship with these four countries that can attack Wei, retreat into Cao and Lu, and guard against Qi."

"Although there are a large number of Weiyi in the west. There are no less than 5,000 soldiers, but they were almost all dispatched because they rushed to help Puyang, and the remaining guards did not dare to change because the Jin army might advance east at any time. No troops have even been sent these days. Temptation, there is no threat for the time being."

"The State of Lu is now an ally with the State of Jin. Although Qinyi is isolated in Qi, it is the most stubborn resistance in the two-hundred-year war between Qi and Lu, so the north can be relieved for the time being. Now the focus of defense is the Linqiu to the east, a few days ago, they sent a light car to investigate..."

Zhao Wuxi spread out the latest silk book sent by Zhao Yang a few days ago:

"The current situation is that in order to punish Wei Guo for betraying its alliance, Jin State surrounded Puyang City, but did not attack. Waiting for Wei Hou to ask for peace, the army will exceed 10,000, covering the sky and the sun, not when you say stop, but when you say go. It will take five days for my father to arrive. Qi State wanted to support Wei State, but did not dare to engage Jin army head-on, so he simply attacked Lu State. The reason was to retaliate against Lu State twice this spring and Xia April. To attack Qi for Jin's sake is actually to besiege Lu to save the defenders. I want to lure the Jin army to advance eastward, so as to relieve the siege of Puyang."

He pondered: "According to the news, the state of Qi launched an army with five hundred chariots, three thousand soldiers, and ten thousand soldiers. Led by two officials, Guo Xia and Gao Zhang, they were besieging Lu. The Gaoyu and Yuncheng areas in the western part of the country are only a hundred miles away, if you turn westward, you can reach Zhenyi in less than three days..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Wuxi spread his hands helplessly and said, "If this is the case, we have no choice but to give up this place. Go west or south to avoid it."

After hearing the words. The **** chiefs sighed regretfully one after another. It feels good to have a "own city" these days. Although the Weiguo people on the street looked at them with fear and badness in their eyes.

If it was changed to the lower palace, Zhao Wuxi would have the confidence to give it a shot in the face of the siege of ten thousand people, and there is a possibility of success in mobilizing the Chinese people to resist. But now they are in the Wei realm. They are considered invaders. They want the disgruntled Wei people to cooperate with the Qi army? This is undoubtedly an idiot's dream. Zhao Wuxi feels unsafe even for them to hold weapons, and maybe he will turn against him at that time.

"Now, we can only see which of the Jin army and the Qi army arrives here first..." Zhao Wuxi was a little distressed. If the duck in his hand flew, he would feel regretful and sad for a long time.

Zhao Wuchen has been so anxious that blisters have formed on the corners of his lips in the past two days. There is a saying in later generations that wealth and wealth are at risk. Although the plan he and Zhang Meng talked about took risks, it has been going smoothly so far, but the Wei people are tenacious. It's hard to imagine, and Qi Jun's attack is too time-consuming.

Now there are more than 10,000 enemies who are staring at them from a hundred miles away, and more than 10,000 friendly troops who are also late to come.

But on the ninth day, Yu Xi, who was patrolling in Yidong, received bad news. In the direction of Linqiu, there was indeed a Qi army heading here, and it was already thirty kilometers away.

...

"How many people!?" After hearing the news, Zhao Wuxi widened his eyes and asked Yu Xi, who was out of breath. He had just returned from thirty miles away all night, and he didn't even have time to take a sip of water.

Yu Xi was quite experienced in estimating the number of enemies, so he said in a dry voice: "Judging from the flags, smoke and dust, and the length of the team, it's only in the early 1000s, with two or three brigades. The green hills inside and outside are stationed, and you can arrive at Zhenyi tomorrow afternoon!"

Qingshan, thirty miles east of Zhenyi, has many forests and greenery in the distance. There is a small town built on Gangfu, with a population of hundreds and dozens of soldiers, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They rejected the person sent by the Zhen Clan to persuade them to surrender, and still used the flag of Wei.

Zhao Wuxi once sent Tian Ben and others to observe and test, but the dangerous terrain and the delicate terrain of Xiaoyi made it impossible for sneak attackers to take at least three or four hundred people to attack for a day. Of course, Zhao Wuxi couldn't rest assured to throw so many people there, and could only choose to give up. At this time, it happened to be the frontier of Qi Shi's march into Zhenyi.

"There are more than a thousand people, and there is no follow-up Qi army?"

"The minister has already sent several cavalry to die for more than ten miles to look around, and even approached the outside of Linqiu City. At this time, he also left people to monitor the Qingshan all night, and did not find the follow-up army!"

"What is the composition of the arms, and how many chariots are there?"

"There are only about ten chariots, and the rest are mostly soldiers. The armored soldiers are less than one brigade, and the queue is fairly neat. The remaining more than a thousand are scattered soldiers, pushing and squatting equipment for attacking the city. There are chariots and ladders. "

Zhao Wuxi didn't speak anymore, he supported the case with both hands, looked down at the short distance from Qingshan to Zhen on the map, and said nothing.

Su Shouyu, Wu Jing and other **** chiefs cupped their hands and asked for instructions: "Gentleman, shall we guard the city and wait for it?"

"People are not at the same level. The army and the people are not close, internal and external communication, and you can betray in an instant. This so-called dangerous city, if you defend a dangerous city, you will fall. Besides, the other party has a lot of siege equipment, it is better to abandon it." Zhang Mengtan paced to Zhao Wu He stood beside him and persuaded in a low voice.

Different from the offensive and defensive battle of Chengxiang a year ago, it was against the enemy on your own territory, but this time it was both internal and external. Pawn!

"The commander-in-chief and Zhang Zi have been planning for several months, and they have traveled hundreds of miles to get here. Several soldiers died because of this. It would be a pity if they gave up on this!" Tian Ben stomped his feet regretfully beside him. The prime minister of the city is naturally a little reluctant.

Although Mu Xia, Wu Jing and others respected Zhang Mengtan, they also had similar thoughts. They cupped their hands and said, "As long as the brigade commander orders, the ministers and others are willing to stick to this place."

Tian Ben also gritted his teeth and said, "If the commander of the brigade feels that the guards and the soldiers of the Zhen clan are restless, the minister will immediately go and slaughter him for the commander of the brigade! Afterwards, you can convict the minister and kill me in the city for the anger of the people! "

I heard that Tian Ben wanted to kill hundreds of people. Feng Rin's face was pale, and Zhang Mengtan shook his head: "Why is this? Why is this?"

He is the mastermind of this plan to go north and seize the city, and he has just harvested sweet fruits. But he had to leave it to others in a blink of an eye, why would he feel better? But in order to preserve the power of this exiled organization, it had to avoid the enemy.

By coincidence, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Wuxi. He just listened to everyone's opinions, but did not express his own views, because he is the final decision-maker, and once it is finalized, it will never be easier. Shijie's teeth were biting his lower lip tightly, and the veins in his hands were sticking out. He suddenly slammed into the place east of Zhenyi.

"We will not defend the city!"

Tian Ben, Mu Xia and others were slightly disappointed, Zhang Meng talked. Feng Rin and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"But don't abandon the city!"

Wu Xie cast his eyes on everyone, and swept over their different expressions.

"It's better to go out to the city to fight!"

...

After 300 clan soldiers were pulled to the newly built camp outside the city to serve as labor. Zhen Clan's lilu seemed to be quite deserted. That night, the gloomy Zhen Zhongxun and the clan elders were holding a public meeting.

An elder who was over fifty years old blew his beard and slapped his desk with his eyes wide open and shouted, "We've been fooled! In the past few days, although Jin troops have been entering continuously, the number of military camps has not increased. At first, I thought they were dispatched to The surrounding towns and towns have been stationed, but they are not. Moreover, the children have also inquired clearly that the brigade commander who attacked the city this time is Zhao Wuxi, and he is not a gentleman from Wen County!"

Everyone was shocked: "Is it because of killing Fan's grandson, Zhao's concubine Wu Xie, who was jointly exiled by the five ministers, went to Zhao Wu Xie in Song?"

Porcelain is also very popular in Wei. They are proud to own one, so they know the name of this son.

The old man said: "Of course! He is still an exiled gentleman, but he sneaked into the Wei country with a patchwork of soldiers, and luckily broke Zhenyi. Where is the striker, the Jin army is still a hundred miles away. Puyang, he's clearly trying to deceive us!"

Someone suddenly thought: "The number of enemy troops is only six or seven hundred. If you mobilize the people of the clan, and then contact the neighboring guards of Weiyi, you may be able to expel them!"

As the main person who negotiated with Zhao Wuxi's forces, Zhen Jin's father was also able to attend the meeting, and he said nonchalantly: "Uncles, if you listen to this kid, dozens of them can break through the gate and rush in, and now the number is even more. Ten times more, how can it be so easy to drive out? What’s more, the other generation has already confiscated the treasury. Now everyone is wearing armor, swords are sharp, bows and arrows are strong, and our clan soldiers have been evacuated. If they resist, wouldn’t they? Fighting a tiger with a sheep is self-defeating! It’s better to do things for him, after all, the property of the clan has not been violated these days.”

The old men were so angry that they pointed at Zhen Jin's father's nose and scolded him as a traitor.

"Those Jin people, what benefit did that Feng Rin give you!"

"The other generation mixed into the city that day, and it was you who deliberately put it in!"

In the midst of the clamor, it was the patriarch Zhen Zhongxun who made the decision.

"Enough! Listen to me!"

The crowd suddenly fell silent~www.wuxiahere.com~According to the reliable information passed on to me by a small official in the city, Qi State seems to be attacking Lu State Xibi, which is only a hundred miles away from Zhendi, and Jin people have been shocked three times a night. If we send people to go all night, we can go to Linqiu in one and a half days, and two and a half days to go to the Qi army camp that besieged Yuncheng, and ask the Qi people for help..."

Zhen Zhongxun knew that under the circumstance that Puyang was surrounded, the guards west of Zhendi had no guts and could not come over. On the contrary, it was Qi people who conquered Lu, but they could give it a try. After all, Zhenyi was the noon road for the west to rescue Puyang. center.

Just as they were whispering and discussing how to send people out of the city, the door of this big house was slammed open!

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked back, they saw a group of soldiers in armor and swords were already blocking the door, and one of them was a fierce man with a bun, a short beard and a collapsed nose. The patriarchs and elders of the clan are all here, so there is no need to go door-to-door to find them!" (To be continued)
