Wei's eastern front line, Gangping City.

In the 19th year of King Zhou An, that is, 383 BC, in order to invade Wei State, which was located in the Central Plains, Zhao State built a city on the border between the two countries.

This city, regarded by the State of Zhao as a bridgehead for attack and defense, was Gangping City.

However, after the construction of this city was completed, before Zhao State had time to launch an attack on Wei State, Wei State's extremely fierce counterattack arrived first.

With the assistance of the protector Wei State and its ally Qi State, the Wei army not only captured Gangping City, which Zhao State had just completed, but also took advantage of the great victory to capture Zhao State's old capital Zhongmu City.

In the following twenty years, although there were frequent wars and peace between Wei and Zhao for their own benefit, the cities occupied by both sides were also constantly changing;

However, Gangping City, built by Zhao State, has always been regarded as part of the territory of Wei State, quietly guarding the capital of Wei State, Puyang, which is only ten miles away.

But now, with the arrival of a group of uninvited guests, Gangping City, which has been ruled by the Wei Kingdom for more than 20 years, has a new owner.

Standing on a chariot among the army, Qi Army Commander Tian Shou quietly stared at Gangping City not far ahead.

When the large flag fluttering high in the wind came into view, the corner of Tian Shou's mouth outlined a brilliant arc.

This time, Tian Shou, the commander-in-chief, led an army of 100,000 people to march eastward in order to defeat the main force of the coalition forces in front of them and capture Puyang, the capital of Weiguo.

Now that the army had won the first battle, and Puyang was within easy reach, Tian Shou suddenly felt a heroic spirit in his heart.

He seemed to have seen himself leading an army to forcefully defeat the 130,000-strong Central Alliance Army, and then climbed to the top of the city of Puyang and looked into the distance.

Just as Tian Shou faced the front and imagined the wonderful future, a loud sound of wood squeezing came from Gangping City not far away.

Seeing the city gate slowly opening with a loud noise, the deputy general standing aside came to Tian Shou and said, "General, the city gate is open. Let's hurry up."

"Um."

The deputy general's reminder brought Tian Shou back to reality from his imagination, and he heard a dull response from above the chariot.

Immediately, I saw Tian Shou arranging the armor on his body very carefully, then holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand, he walked out of the chariot with his head held high.

In a moment, Tian Shou, the commander-in-chief, strode to the foot of Gangping City with his head held high and stood in front of all the soldiers of the Qi army.

"I'll see the general later."

When the sound of greetings rang in his ears, Tian Shou's heart was filled with pride, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"Soldiers, get up quickly."

A shout sounded below Gangping City. At this moment, the expression on Tian Shou's face had become solemn, and a strong fighting spirit flashed through his eyes as he looked forward.

"However, we captured Gangping City in a short period of time. I am proud of you. You are worthy of being the elite of our Qi army."

When this sentence reached the ears of the Qi soldiers in front, they couldn't help but feel a little agitated in their hearts, and their scorching eyes all focused on Tian Shou in an instant.

A man will die for a man who knows himself, and a woman will live for a man who pleases her.

As a soldier, how could these Qi Army soldiers not be a little excited in their hearts when their generals recognized the achievements they and their colleagues had achieved?

His eyes swept over the surrounding Qi army officers and soldiers, and when they met the eyes that were looking at him, he saw Tian Shou slowly stretching out his right arm.

Pointing to the southwest with his right hand, Tian Shou said loudly: "That direction is where Puyang, the capital of Weiguo, is located. There are more than 100,000 coalition troops stationed there at the moment. Now I have a question to ask you."

"Facing such a powerful enemy, our elite members of Qi State, are you afraid?"

After Tian Shou asked this question, the area around him fell into silence for a while, and then suddenly a terrifying momentum broke out.

"Not afraid."

"Not afraid."

"Not afraid."

…

"Well, you are worthy of being the elite of our Qi country."

After a while, when the shouts around him gradually calmed down, Tian Shou's voice once again appeared in the ears of all the Qi army soldiers.

"I, Tian Shou, will lead you to defeat the Wei army and conquer Puyang. Qi will be victorious."

"Wan Sheng!"

Because of the words of the general Tian Shou, the fighting spirit of the entire Qi army has been completely aroused. At this moment, there is only one thought left in their hearts.

Defeat the coalition forces and capture Puyang.

…

While the morale of the main force of the Qi army on the front line was getting higher and higher, there was a busy scene in Malingyi, Qi State, which was more than a hundred miles away from the front line.

"Hurry up……"

The urging voices of the Qi army officers continued to echo in my ears, and each of the Qi civilians, who were carrying provisions and baggage, subconsciously quickened their pace.

"boom……"

Following a dull sound, another bag full of grain and grass was carried from the camp to one of the carriages parked not far away.

However, he had no time to rest. The next moment, this Qi citizen man returned along the original road and continued the task he wanted to complete.

One trip, two trips, three trips...

Carrying it again and again by countless Qi people, the carriages parked outside the camp were filled one after another until the last bag of grain and grass was loaded onto the carriage.

"General, this batch of food, grass and baggage is ready."

A moment later, listening to the report ringing in his ears, a Qi army general's gaze slowly swept over the carriage filled with provisions and baggage in front of him.

When it was confirmed that everything was all right, the Qi army general's face became solemn, and serious orders immediately sounded in the queue.

"Set off."

"Here."

Accompanied by this response and the sound of the driver urging the horse, the wheels of the carriage slowly rolled forward, along with groups of Qi soldiers who were responsible for guarding the food, grass and baggage.

However, what the soldiers of Qi did not notice was that as they were moving forward, two faint eyes were watching them quietly in the distance.

He turned his gaze away from a Qi soldier in the distance and heard a voice whispering, "Commander, this should be the place where the Qi army's food, grass and baggage are transferred."

"Well, judging from the constant arrival and departure of food, grass and baggage in the past few days, it should be correct." Listening to the judgment of the subordinate in his ear, the other person nodded lightly with some agreement.

The next moment, sharp eyes swept across the whole body. After confirming countless times that there was no danger, the two of them quietly retreated to the rear in unison.

First, they slowly broke away from the Qi army's camp with extreme caution, and then ran as fast as they could. The two finally stopped in front of the two horses.

"Huhuhu..."

At this moment, the two of them had exhausted all their strength, and the sound of heavy breathing kept ringing in their ears.

After a short rest, the two men quickly jumped onto their horses, "This matter is of great importance. We must report to Puyang immediately. Let's go."

"Here"

"Xilulu..."

After the loud neighing of a war horse, a dull sound of horse hooves on the ground resounded on the ground, and the two figures soon disappeared above the western horizon.
