Chapter 2 Wind and Snow
Zou Lu's last sentence shocked the doctors. Good luck can be created. Moreover, Qi is surrounded by sea on three sides and has a lot of water, which is hard to match among the countries in the world. However, thinking of this, the doctors' eyes changed again, and they were a little wary of each other.
Like Chu, the power of Qi is not concentrated in one person. The so-called three monks have no water to drink. Such a power structure is extremely unsuitable and is only suitable for preservation. If Qi wants to unify the world, the first thing he needs to solve is the problem of centralization, otherwise internal disputes will be enough to lead to the failure of unification. Everyone looks at each other and they all have the intention to distinguish between enemies and me. To form an alliance with which city and attack with which city is the primary issue of unifying the world.
"Report!" The urgent military newspaper echoed in the Linzi Grand Sima Mansion, but the Feixun Officer was not reporting the enemy situation. "Maiqiuyi was broken."
"Maiqiu?" Tian Zong and Mou Zong immediately looked at the map. Maiqiu was northwest of Linzi, which was about 200 miles away from Linzi. After reading the map, Mou Zong turned to look at Feixun Officer: "When will it be cut off?"
"At this time." The cold Tianfeixun official's forehead was covered with sweat. The Chu people left the codebook and took it away, but Mingxun was available. In the past few days, the Feixun leading to the north was interrupted one after another. First, the fifth stop to Raoan, then the second stop, and now the sixth stop to Maiqiu. This situation has never happened.
"Get back." Tian Zong coughed a few times and said, "Are the Qin people?" he asked Xiang Mou Zong.
"Or it was the Qin people." Mou Zong couldn't determine whether it was because of the weather or the Qin people.
"Our army is all in Jixi." Tian Zong sighed. Wang Jian led 300,000 Qin troops to face the border. Except for Jimo, all the soldiers from Gaotang and Linzi were transferred to Jixi Guyi. If the Qin army attacked in large quantities at this time, Linzi might not be safe.
Tian Zong was worried that the Qi army was all in Jixi, and Mou Zong was no longer worried. "At this time, the army was returning to Linzi, if it met the Qin army..."
"Ah?!" Tian Zong's expression changed, "When will the army return to the capital? Why don't I know?"
"Follow the La Festival." Mou Zong said. "The army had passed Pingling yesterday, and we will be able to reach the tomb tomorrow."
Tian Zong was old and had a constant illness. He did not participate in the court for several days. Moreover, Qi did not establish a Grand Sima mobilization and command system like Chu, although the names of Grand Sima Mansions of both countries were the same. The Grand Sima Mansion of Qi was just an enlarged shogunate. The army mobilized by each county and did not have to obey the orders of the Grand Sima Mansion, but only obeyed the orders of the Grand Sima Mansion.
Wang Jian led his troops westward, and many scouts from the Qi army saw him personally. While he was celebrating the officials, he also planned to withdraw the soldiers stationed in Jixi. The current soldiers are not as good as the soldiers in the past. The soldiers used to bring their own food and bring their own weapons to fight. The current soldiers' food and fodder are all provided by the state and fiefs.
It was confirmed that Wang Jian's 300,000 army had gone west, and Li Xin attacked the square city of Chu again. As soon as the doctors gathered, the army would withdraw. Otherwise, "the cost of both inside and outside, the use of guests, the materials of glue and paint, and the service of chariots and armor would cost a thousand gold a day." What my grandson said in the book was very exaggerated. The actual cost of a 100,000 army would not exceed 100 gold a day, but 100 gold was also money. When Wang Jian retreated to Puyang, the army retreated eastward.
At this time, the 150,000 troops affiliated to Linzi were on their way back. Pingling was west of Zhangqiu today, Yuling was in Zouping today, and Yuling was still a hundred miles from Linzi. Mou Zong mentioned this, not because he was glad that the army was about to return to Linzi, but because he was worried that the 150,000 troops would encounter the Qin army attacking from the north. To destroy Qi, the best way was to win the King of Chu five years ago - skip other cities and attack Linzi directly. After Linzi, Qi was destroyed.
"So quickly order the army to return to Linzi, no mistakes!" Tian Zong suppressed his cough and ordered.
"It's not enough." Mou Zong spoke out against it. "If you fight for profit for fifty miles, you will be defeated. At this time, not only will you not be allowed to return to Linzi quickly, but you will also be allowed to travel thirty miles a day, and you will have to occupy the city if you stay in a camp."
"No!" Mou Zong meant to save the army, but Tian Zong did not plan like this. "Come here! I sent me the general, and the Qin people were afraid that they would come from the north. Our army would arrive in Linzi in two days."
Tian Zong directly called for someone to come. At this time, there were almost no soldiers in Linzi City, and there were soldiers, and most of them were old and weak. The soldiers in nearby cities had basically taken time. Even if the Qin people could not capture Linzi for a long time, they would not get reinforcements in a short period of time. Only half of the 150,000 army returned, which was enough for Linzi to wait for reinforcements from Jimo and Chu.
Tian Zong is the Grand Sima, and Mou Zong is the military advisor. Just as the general Tian Luo may not be able to execute the orders of the Grand Sima Mansion, Tian Zong may not listen to the military advisor's opinions. What can be hoped is that the Qin army did not go south at all, and Qin is attacking Chu with all its might. The newspaper also said that the snow and snow in the northern parts of the country in the past few days, and the flyin pole may be blown off by the strong wind.
Mou Zong thought so, the prosperous Linzi City and Tancheng more than 130 miles west were all full of heavy snow. Due to this heavy snow, Xinwen in Linzi had to be teleported by Xun Cavalry, and the general Tian Luo, who led the army, could only temporarily live in Tancheng.
Tancheng was the State of Tan. Long before Qi was enthroned in Yingqiu, more than seventeen Eastern Yi countries were in the land of Qilu. The Zhou people served on Shang and wanted to control the people of Yin and Yi. King Wu first comforted the survivors of the Shang Dynasty to Prince Zhou Wu Geng, but then he enthroned his younger brother Shuxian to Guan, Shudu to Du, and Shuchu to Huo, to monitor Wu Geng, which was called the Third Supervisor.
In order to monitor the Yi people in Qilu, he was granted Shu Zhenduo in Cao (now Heze), Shu Wu in Cheng (now Dongping), Jiang Taigong in Yingqiu (Linzi), and his younger brother Zhou Gong was appointed Yan (now Qufu). Zhou Gong was appointed prime minister in the court, so he could only order his son Boqin to Qufu and enthrone him. Qufu was the center of the Zhou people in the east, which was why Lu State's status was higher than other princes since its initial title, and it was also the reason why Lu State implemented the Zhou rituals from the beginning.
During the Three Prison Rebellion, Tan State also participated. The Zhou people severely punished the evildoers Bo Gu and Yan State, and Tan State survived, but the price of survival was to build Zhou Dadao (it was also possible that they had been practicing Zhou Dadao before). The Book of Songs says, "There is a small east and the big east, and Zhu Yu is empty. The tangled and entangled can walk on frost." "The son of the Eastern man cannot come. The son of the Western man, Can Can Clothes" is the lament of a nobleman of the Tan State. The Zhou Dao, which was as straight as an arrow, passed by Tan State and was built by Tan State.
Like Zhao, Qi State also had a pro-China side, as well as a pro-Era and a pro-Era and a pro-Era. The battle between the two sides was not settled until the Duke Heng of Qi, and the Tan State, who practiced Zhou Dao, was destroyed by Duke Heng of Qi.
The general Tian Luo, trapped in Tancheng, naturally had no time to take into account the long history of the city under his feet. He was considering how long the Qin-Chu war would last, how much force could the victorious side have left? When will the State of Qi intervene and help the weaker side?
In the Spring and Autumn Period, only the emperor dared to be king, but in the Warring States Period, the king was already a mess, and only Qi and Qin had become emperors. For the people of Qi, this was a kind of pride. This pride could make the people of Qi go to the East China Sea and not to be emperor of Qin. But this was just a scholar, but the common people were not proud of it. Common people who did not take it as proud will not really fight to the death.
Uchitian Luo has to admire the Chu people. More people in Chu were willing to die for Chu than Qi. Fortunately, Qin attacked Chu, and only Chu could block the endless Qin army like the tide. When the two countries decide the victory or defeat, the Chu people will die.
Tian Luo was sitting in the shogunate, thinking about the war between Qin and Chu. When it was dusk, the news from the Grand Sima Mansion of Linzi was sent to the cavalry. The knight was cold all over and his face and lips were pale. Tian Luo did not let him go, so he could only stand in the tent and receive the order.
"The Qin people want to attack me?" Tian Luo was surprised after reading the newspaper. The news article was very clear, so he still asked a question.
"Report to the General and the Grand Sima Yan's secret matters are all in the news. Please return to Linzi quickly to defend the capital." The knight bowed.
"But the Qin army is attacking the State of Chu!" Tian Luo shook the Xunwen in his hand, and his face was full of excitement. "Wang Jian's army retreated to Puyang and went west day and night. How could he attack Chu be attacked me?"
Tian Luo was excited and his voice became loud. All the generals and all the strategists in the shogunate heard the sound. The knight was frightened and said, "The villain doesn't know. When the great Sima Yu, he asked the villain to say, "All the secret matters are in the news. Please return to Linzi quickly to defend the capital." The other villain did not know. The villain ran a hundred and thirty miles, just asking the general to see the news quickly."
"Get back." Tian Luo was also excited. Given the current situation of Qi army, he was reluctant to hear such news of the Qin people coming. As soon as he said he would retreat, the knight would turn around, but he didn't want to shake his body and fall down. He could not send a message to him. He could only rely on horses. After more than a hundred miles of running and the panic just now, the knight, who breathed a sigh of relief, fainted.
"Who's news about Linzi?" The knight was carried down, and Shi Yi rushed up quickly. The battle of Linzi he commanded was defeated, but Tian Jian pardoned him and did not punish him. He heard the words "Return to Linzi quickly and use the capital of the State", and he was worried.
"The Sima Mansion of Linzi said that the Qin people may attack me from the north." Tian Luo handed over the Xunwen in his hand to Shi Yi.
"The Qin people attacked me from the north?" Shi Yi was looking at Xunwen, and the other generals were shocked when they heard this. Tian Luo's confidant chased him and laughed. He said, "This is a big mistake! The knights were ordered to run a hundred and thirty miles in the wind and snow before fainting. The Qin people were also humans. From Zhao to Linzi, they went from half to Linzi, and the Qin people would lose more than half before they reached Linzi."
"The capital of Ying in Chu has reached Linzi for more than a thousand miles, but how could he ever think that the Chu people crossed the sea to Linzi?" After all, he was a defeated general. Shi Yi was not surprised after reading Xunwen. "My subordinates thought that if the Qin people attacked me, they would be like the Chu people, and the army would take Linzi directly."
"How could the Qin people come to Linzi in such a wind and snow?" Gao Zhui asked back. "General Shi..."
"Please allow our army to return to Linzi quickly." Shi Yi led the army with halberds. After the battle of Linzi five years ago, there were only 30,000 people left, but these 30,000 people were the strongest combat-capable of the Qi army.
"No!" Gao Zhui turned his back immediately. "If the Qin people really attacked me in the north, the army holding the halberd should not go first."
