802 Besieged in Qufu 1

On March 25, the 10th year of the Wei Hou, this was the third day after the Wei army arrived in Qufu.

During these three days, the Wei army completed the siege of Qufu City, and at the same time they also pulled out all the hidden stakes of Qi army outside the city.

But for the generals of the Wei army, this kind of fighting style was unacceptable to them, and it could be used to attack the city in three days.

Outside Qufu City, within Zheng Chang's tent, the generals took their seats together, but the atmosphere was not so harmonious.

"General, it's been three days since the siege of the city. Why has our army been slow to move?" A general stood in the middle of the tent and said to Zheng Chang in the main position with dissatisfaction.

Zheng Chang could not get angry even when his subordinates questioned this way. He could not even scold his subordinates rudely, otherwise it would prove that he was afraid of war.

So, after listening to his subordinates' speech, Zheng Chang said, "Your Highness has said that attacking the city is the best, and attacking the heart is the best... Now that the Qi army has been surrounded by my 80,000 troops, they are already unable to escape. Why are you anxious?"

But this general was not so easy to deal with. He also said, "General, don't forget, the Lord asked us to send troops here to expel the Qi people. Could it be that we will implement the emperor's will and let the Qi people stay in the city in this way?"

Zheng Chang used Wei Wuji to suppress his generals, but these people could still suppress him.

After being confronted by his subordinates, even though Zheng Chang's temper was much more restrained, he felt furious at this time.

Just as he was about to scold his subordinates, the man in black who had been standing behind him walked up and stopped his anger with his eyes as if Zheng Chang had signaled.

Then, the man in black heard the voice of him: "My generals, listen to me!"

After the man in black stood up, the generals present looked at him, but their eyes were very bad.

Yes, this is a military meeting that only generals are qualified to attend. Why should the man in black appear here and what qualifications are he or she have to speak?

So, a general immediately stood up and said, "Who are you? We are in the military service, how can you speak?"

It’s not to mention that although the man in black has appeared in the army for two days, the generals are still unclear about his specific identity at this time.

The man in black was not afraid when he was questioned by the generals. He bowed and said, "All the generals, Zhang Qun, the captain of the Lower Wind Shadow Department!"

Others don’t know who Zhang Qun is, but Zheng Chang knows it very well.

When the king was trapped in Qi, Zhang Qun was the king's confidant guard and protected him during the most difficult time.

Zhang Qun sat at the position of the captain of the Fengying Department. Not only was he trusted by the king, but he also came with an edict in his hand, so he was naturally not afraid of the generals here.

After introducing himself, Zhang Qun continued: "People are at ease. Sometimes the attack on the city does not have to start from outside. Maybe someone will open the city gate to welcome our army into the city?"

Originally, the generals were full of hostility towards Zhang Qun, but when he claimed to be the captain of the Fengying Department, they honestly shut their mouths.

After all, the status of the Fengying Department's captain is no lower than that of the generals like them.

Moreover, from what you Zhang Qun meant, there was an insider in Qufu City, which they had never expected.

So a general asked, "Person Zhang, it has been siege for three days now, why has the inner officer not launched yet?"

The generals are not that easy to pass on because no one can steal military merit from them, and the Fengying Department cannot do it either.

They can keep enough courtesy to Zhang Qun, but they still have to fight for what they should fight for.

As a general who requested a battle to attack the city, this cannot be said to be wrong. Even if the lawsuit is fought to the monarch, they are not afraid.

Zhang Qun was not angry. As the main figure in the Fengying Department, he could understand the thoughts of the generals present.

The monarch has been in charge of the Wei Kingdom for ten years. The generals promoted over the past ten years have stronger fighting spirit than in any previous period. This is what the monarch intends to guide him.

Therefore, Zhang Qun had to continue to explain: "General, don't be in a hurry. There may be a major change in Qufu City today and tomorrow!"

Zhang Qun said this, and Zheng Chang continued: "Everyone, this is not only the plan of this general and Captain Zhang, but also the will of the emperor. You don't need to say too much!"

"Each of you does your own business well, and you fight, and it's a big battle... We should look at it a little longer. Our enemy is not the 20,000 Qi army in Qufu City, but the entire Qi State!"

Zheng Chang's words attracted deep thoughts from the generals, and at this time they did not ask questions as tightly as they had just now.

There are two reasons to shut them up.

On the one hand, if this is the arrangement of the king, they can no longer argue. Being loyal to the king is the foundation of their existence, and no one wants to destroy themselves.

On the other hand, according to Zheng Chang's words, this time, he will not only expel the Qi army in Lu, but also face the entire Qi State.

Everyone present still remembers the battle against Qin six years ago, which allowed many people to rise up in that battle, so Zheng Chang's words made the generals see the dawn again.

For them, a large number of military achievements were waved to them against Qi, so why should they be anxious and hate the general who declared military achievements for them!

Seeing that his subordinates stopped talking, Zheng Chang continued: "This time, the Lord has a big plan. I hope you will obey the command and do not miss the Lord's major affairs!"

Anyone who said more would break the plan of the king. Zheng Chang's hat was very tight, so he really made the generals not object.

Then, the military meeting ended, and Zheng Chang also achieved his own, comforting the generals who were full of fighting spirit.

Sitting in the handsome position, Zheng Chang couldn't help but sigh: "I'm old, now it's the world of young people!"

Zheng Chang is close to fifty years old and is definitely old in this era, but he has a smile on his face at this moment.

Ten years ago, Zheng Chang never thought that he would be today.

At that time, he was still sitting on the bench and commanding Xiguan only to prevent the Qin people. Today, under the ten consecutive years of suppression of Wei, Qin has completely declined and posed no threat to Wei.

And he, Zheng Chang, led his troops to attack the princes, and the Tang and Zheng countries that had been passed down for more than a hundred years were destroyed by him.

Now, he actually wanted to lead his troops to attack Qi. Now Zheng Chang felt a little surprised when he thought about it. Is this really him?

The title has been the lord and the position has been the general. In theory, Zheng Chang has no regrets. If there is any, it is to become the general of the state of the country before he retires.

And now, as he attacked Qi, Zheng Chang saw hope of being promoted to Zhuguo.

Hearing Zheng Chang's feelings, Zhang Qun smiled and said, "How can the general be old? I said before I came that he still needs to rely on you more than the general!"

Good words are always pleasant, and Zheng Chang is no exception, so he smiled and said, "It is a blessing for me to serve the emperor!"

After the two of them chatted, Zheng Chang asked, "Person Zhang, do you say there are internal supporters in Qufu City? Will they really take action these two days?"

Zhang Qun said, "Of course, those who know the times are heroes, and those who know can understand that following Qi is a way out!"

Zheng Changze said: "The national strength of Qi is much worse than that of our Great Wei. Lu must be more than Ji Yi, but he can see clearly. It's a pity that Ji Yi is dead!"

Zhang Qun laughed and said, "Ji Yi is dead, but his supporters are still there. These people are enough to suffer a great loss for the Qi army!"

"Also, I sent people to spread the news into the city, and to all the major clans, telling them that our army will start a massacre after entering the city. If they help our army enter the city, they can maintain their wealth and status!" Zhang Qun said quite proudly.

Zheng Chang couldn't help but stumble in his heart, and he thought that the people from Fengying Department were indeed vicious and used all the methods of coercion and inducement.

Zheng Chang knew in his heart that Zhang Qun was not a joke. If the Qufu clan was uneasy what he said, he would definitely be killed in his family.

But Zheng Chang's face was still full of smiles and said to Zhang Qun: "So, they have no choice!"

Zhang Qun couldn't help laughing. If Qu Fu was really taken down like this, then Zhang Qun would be a great achievement and might be able to be promoted to another level.
