Chapter 110: The State of Qi on the Brink of Destruction [Two in One](2/2)
"If the former kings were still there, how could those Chu people be so arrogant!"
In the tea stall, an old man who seemed to be dressed in a country squire expressed an angry feeling.
"...Are the nobles of Qi people?"
Ya Wu sipped the tea and glanced at the several people in the table not far away. He saw that the people were all dressed brightly, but were dusty and their faces were full of fatigue.
After hearing the old man's words, the people who looked quite status sitting next to him also agreed.
"Yeah yeah……"
"I remember when the former king was still there, the Chu people were just surviving at my foot, but today they were counterattacked..."
Then, there were ridiculous remarks that boasted about how powerful Qi was in the era of King Lu Xi of Qi, and those who had no evidence to blindly believe that Qi could eventually defeat Chu. Ya Wu secretly despised him.
It is true that King Lu Xi of Qi is a wise king, but how many years have this wise king been dead?
It's been eight years!
Is the Qi State today still the Qi State eight years ago?
It’s ridiculous that these Qi people were still immersed in the power of Qi eight years ago and boasted meaninglessly, but no one thought about how to resist the attack of the Chu army at this moment.
I have to say that in Ya Wu's opinion, this is incredible: At the critical moment of national difficulties, these Qi people did not think about how to resist the Chu army, and they actually surrounded them to commemorate the strength of the country. Do these people do not understand that it was just the past?
『…If all the people of Qi were like this, would this country really stop the Chu army?”
Seeing those Qi people boasting about Qi, remembering the once powerful Qi State, but not mentioning the current difficult situation of Qi State, Ya Wu watched coldly and thought to himself.
At this moment, Ya Wu couldn't help but once again had the idea of sending someone to send the signal of "attacking Qi" to His Royal Highness, because in his opinion, Qi's will to resist Chu was really not firm. Many Qi people were still immersed in the era of their King Lu Xi of Qi, and were dreaming that their Qi was still the overlord of the Central Plains, and refused to face up to the cruel reality that Qi was currently defeated by Chu with one enemy and three.
Under such circumstances, why should Qi resist the Chu army?
You should know that in the Chu State, Xiong Tuo, the king of Yangcheng, used all the generous rewards before, so that the nobles and generals of the country worked together to unite and unite as one to take the opportunity to annex Qi and Lu. In the face of this state, even if the Wei State had to be vigilant, these Qi people were better.
"Wait for another three days! If there is no change in Qi after three days, you can send someone to the Crown Prince to lead his troops to attack Qi, so as not to lose the wealth of Qi into the hands of Chu..."
Taking a sip of tea, Ya Wu thought to himself.
At this time, in Linzi Palace, King Lu Bai of Qi also asked the ministers in the hall with a serious face.
In fact, Qi State has trump cards, such as the most elite Feixiong Army in the country, which has not participated in the war so far and still maintains the best military lineup. The three armies of the Northern Navy, Langya Army and Jimo Army led by famous general Tian Dan also gradually returned to Qi's land after the beginning of spring.
It is no exaggeration to say that if we eliminate the troops that have already rushed to the battlefield, Qi State still has at least 70,000 to 80,000 elite troops.
However, only these 70,000 to 80,000 elite troops were left, which was the last resistance of Qi.
Although at the end of last year, King Lu Bai of Qi and ministers of the Qing Dynasty formulated a strategy to launch a counterattack against Chu State after the New Year, it has to be said that in the face of the Chu State's army that claimed to be one million, both King Lu Bai of Qi and the Shiqing in the palace were inevitably feeling a little guilty.
Because they knew that if this counterattack failed, then Qi State would be completely finished.
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have had a feud with Wei that day..."
King Lu Bai of Qi sighed, making the face of Gao Qi, the Shiqing Gao Qi, who had returned to Linzi after the New Year, and the scholar-official Lian Chen, who had returned to Linzi first, look very ugly.
After all, it was the two of them who advocated not to show weakness to Wei and refused to give up the position of the overlord of the Central Plains.
Now that it angered Wei. Wei formed an alliance with Chu, completely releasing Chu, allowing Chu to fully launch the national war machine and defeat the small group of Qi, Lu and Yue, the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
Noting Gao Ju's ugly expression, the left prime minister Zhao Zhao said: "It's over, and it's useless to say this. It's urgent to consider how to launch a counterattack against the Chu army..."
Hearing this, the right prime minister Tian Dan said bitterly: "How come the troops are insufficient... I thought that after a winter, the Chu army would definitely be more than half of it, but I never thought that the logistics of the Chu army this time was so stable..."
Isn't this nonsense? You must know that this time, almost all the nobles in Chu State supported this foreign war. How could there be logistical problems?
After hearing Tian Hui's words, Zhao Zhao shook his head and said seriously: "No, my Great Qi has sufficient troops. We have an extremely powerful army!" After a pause, he added: "It is more powerful than the Feixiong Army!"
『More powerful than the Feixiong Army?』
Whether it was King Lu Bai of Qi, Guan Chong, Bao Shu, or even Gao Qi, even Chen, they all turned to Zhao Zhao, with a look of confusion on their faces.
Does the Qi State really have an army that is stronger than the Feixiong Army?
After a while, Shangqing Gao Qi's face trembled and he realized: "Master Zuo Xiang is referring to..."
“It’s…”
