Tian Chong, the commander-in-chief of Qi State, was quite surprised that the people from the four countries who were following him in the army did not come to persuade him to attack Puyang while Qin general Zhao Tuo fell from his horse.
You must know that Tian Chong was stationed at the border this time, and he was constantly harassed by those who had subjugated his country. The Hengyang Lord and Gongsun Xin of South Korea came to him several times in an attempt to persuade Tian Chong to take the initiative to attack the Qin State in order to disturb the Qin Dynasty.
Chu situation.
"Want to use our country, Qi, to restore your country?"
"Haha, I, Mrs. Tian, am not a fool."
Tian Chong smiled coldly. Although he and Tian Ji were able to come to power with the help of the dead people of the Four Kingdoms, if they were not bold enough to assassinate Prime Minister Qi and then win, Tian Ji and Tian Chong would not have a chance to take power.
Therefore, after Tian Ji came to power, he reciprocated the favor and sent Tian Chong to lead 100,000 Qi troops to garrison the border. This was a reward to the people of the four countries, but this reward only ended here.
Tian's Qi Kingdom is not a puppet of the Four Kingdoms, they have their own logic and ideas.
Qi State sent troops this time just to intimidate Qin State and save the Chu people from subjugation at the critical moment, instead of foolishly going up to confront Qin State head-on.
Before Tian Chong set out, Tian Jia had warned him countless times that he must not start a war without permission. He must wait until the situation on the battlefield between Qin and Chu was clear before he could take the next step. Before that, even if the people who wanted to subjugate the country talked about it, he could not start a war without permission.
Send out one soldier and one pawn.
So let alone Qin general Zhao Tuo who fell from his horse and was injured this time. Even if Zhao Tuo fell into a manure pit and drowned, his commander Tian Da Sima would only regard it as a joke and would never send troops to attack Puyang.
Fortunately, the people from the Four Kingdoms seemed to understand what the Qi people were thinking, and they were quite quiet these two days, and no one came to try to persuade Tian Chong to send troops.
This actually allowed Tian Chong to enjoy a few days of quiet time. Under the service of the beautiful maid, he could read military books and strategies with peace of mind, and his life was quite comfortable.
On this day, Zou Yang, a close confidant, came to report: "Qin General Zhao Tuo has sent an envoy to present gifts of books and utensils to pay homage to Da Sima."
"Zhao Tuo sent someone to see me? This is strange!"
Tian Chong's face was full of surprise. Although Qi and Qin had not officially declared war, the situation was still tense. Under such circumstances, it was unusual for Qin General Zhao Tuo to send people to deliver gifts and repair books.
Zou Yang smiled and said: "Da Sima, I saw that the Qin people's envoy was quite humble, and he also brought many gifts. I think he had good intentions."
"In that case, I will see the messenger."
At this point, Tian Chong's heart was moved and he shouted: "Wait a minute, you welcome the envoy from the military camp, let the martial arts warriors in the army show off their martial arts, scare the envoy of Zhao Tuo, and let the people of Qin know that we are here."
The might of the country’s heroes.”
"Da Sima's method is so wonderful that the Qin envoy will definitely be frightened."
Zou Yang immediately laughed flatteringly.
The Qi army camp outside the city.
A middle-aged scribe in a wide robe and long sleeves followed Zou Yang into the camp gate. They were about to cross the military camp and reach the city behind.
"Mr. Li, please."
Zou Yang smiled and asked Qin envoy Li to eat before he left.
"You are welcome, Mr. Zou."
Li Shiqi chuckled, and walked into the army with the servant behind him holding a BMW and holding gifts such as wine, clothing, and brocade.
They didn't go far when they heard loud shouting and killing sounds coming from the front one after another.
The sound was like thunder from the sky, making people's ears buzz.
Li Shiqi saw dozens of strong men over eight feet tall fighting each other in the open space of the military camp ahead.
These people were wearing armor and holding weapons, fighting each other with fierce murderous intent.
The weapons were swung, the cold light was fierce, and the clanking sound between the weapons was so eye-catching that it made people jump.
Even the most ignorant person can see that these armored men are first-class warriors, powerful men who can easily cut off people's heads.
At this moment, a loud roar was heard, and one man was eager to fight, and even threw the short halberd in his hand.
In an instant, the short halberd flew out of the air like thunder and lightning, carrying a strong wind, and stuck directly into the ground two meters in front of Li Shiqi.
"Bold! How dare you disturb Qin's distinguished guests!"
Zou Yang screamed angrily, and the accompanying officers immediately stepped forward and asked the soldiers to capture the man who threw the halberd.
"Mr. Li, the rough guy in the army is ignorant and scared the distinguished guests. I will punish him now."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. He is a strong man. He just made a mistake in the fight and there is no need to punish him."
Li Shiqi said with a white face, forcing a calm expression on her face.
Zou Yang glanced at Li Shiqi's trembling legs, a smile flashed in his eyes, and waved his hand to the military officials to push the man down and beat him for punishment.
He turned around and continued walking with Li Shiqi.
"Mr. Li, do you know who those people were just now?"
After walking a few steps, Zou Yang mentioned the group of eight-foot-tall mighty men again.
Li Shiqi swallowed her saliva and whispered: "Look at that appearance, could it be that he is a strong warrior with Qi martial arts?"
"That's right!"
Zou Yang laughed and said: "Mr. Li really has a good eye. Those people are the martial arts warriors of our Qi country. They lift like birds, move like thunder and lightning, and send out blows like wind and rain. Don't get in front of them, don't harm those behind them.
If you go out alone and enter alone, don't dare to close the enclosure!"
"If they go to kill people, they can still kill the generals and seize the flag in front of the battle. No one can stop the direction of the soldiers. What do you think, sir?"
When Zou Yang said this, there was a hint of intimidation on his face.
Li Shiqi timidly said: "Martial arts warriors are extremely powerful, and today I saw that they are truly worthy of their reputation. In my opinion, any one of these warriors can kill me, Li Shiqi, ten times or a hundred times. Each of them can kill me."
You can beat me and eat ten or a hundred of them."
Hearing this, Zou Yang burst into laughter, pointed at Li Shiqi and said, "Mr. Li, you are such a wonderful person."
Li Shiqi chuckled, and while chatting and laughing with Zou Yang, her eyes quietly scanned the scene of the military camp, recording every detail in her mind.
After a while, Zou Yang walked through the military camp with the envoy's gift, walked into the city, and arrived outside the luxurious mansion where the great Sima Tian Chong lived.
Looking at the gorgeous and spacious tall mansion in front of him, a smile flashed in Li Shiqi's eyes.
As a general in charge of the army, he actually allowed his 100,000 troops to be stationed in camps outside the city, while he moved into his mansion in the city. This great Sima of Qi State was also a wonderful person.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This feeling of Li Shiqi became more and more intense after entering the house.
Especially when he saw Tian Chong, who was sitting on the couch and receiving him while being attended by two beautiful maids, Li Shiqi smiled even more in his heart.
Such a person is not a general leading an army in a war, he is just a noble son out for fun.
Thinking in his heart, Li Shi had a humble look on his face, fell to the ground, and said respectfully: "Qin's envoy Li Shi has seen the Qi State's great commander, Ma Shi."
When Tian Chong saw that the Qin envoy looked humble, he felt happy and said with concern: "Get up. I heard that General Zhao fell off his horse a few days ago. I wonder how injured he is?"
Li Shiqi stood up, looked slightly hesitant, and said with a forced smile: "Thank you, Chief Sima, for your concern. My General Zhao is just a little sick, nothing serious."
When Tian Chong saw the change in Li Shiqi's expression, he thought to himself that Zhao Tuo must have suffered a terrible fall. If nothing happened, the Qin envoy would not hesitate before answering.
However, he still said: "As long as you have nothing to do, I wonder why your General Zhao sent you here?"
Li Shiqi smiled flatteringly and said: "General Zhao submitted a letter to prepare a gift: firstly, we have long admired the name of Da Sima, and today we are neighbors, so we should send envoys to pay our respects. Secondly, we want to restore the Qi and Qin families together with Da Sima.
Very good."
"Oh? General Zhao also knows my name, Tian Chong!"
Tian Chong was overjoyed. Although he looked down on Zhao Tuo on the surface, in fact, Zhao Tuo's achievements were so outstanding and he was famous all over the world. How could he not care about him? Now that he heard about Zhao Tuo,
Tian Chong was filled with joy after admiring his reputation for a long time. After all, there is no one in the world who doesn't like to be flattered.
"Of course, General Zhao has admired the name of Da Sima for a long time. This is a letter from General Zhao. I also ask Da Sima to read it."
After saying that, Li Shiqi handed Zhao Tuo's letter to Zou Yang, who was standing by, and he forwarded it to Tian Chong.
Tian Chong opened the mud seal and opened the silk book presented by the Qin envoy. When he read it, he smiled even more.
It turns out that the words used in Zhao Tuo's book are very humble.
The beginning of the chapter is "I have admired the Great Sima for a long time" and so on. Tian Chong first brags about himself, and then hopes that Tian Chong can remember the good things that Qi and Qin have done for decades and not listen to the instigation of those villains who have subjugated the country and start a war.
Although Zhao Tuo did not say it explicitly, the words in the letter still revealed that Zhao Tuo was afraid that Tian Chong would send troops to attack.
I hope that Tian Chong and the Qin army can be friendly to each other and guard the border respectively, so that the two of them can complete their missions.
"Well, it seems that your General Zhao is also a man of discernment. Just go back and tell him and let him sit in the city safely. I have my own sense of discretion."
Tian Chong held his position and smiled calmly.
Li Shiqi hurriedly agreed and bowed before leaving: "Before leaving, my general also said that Da Sima was skillful in the art of war. He admired him deeply. If he can take Da Sima as his teacher, he will have no regrets in this life. I heard that there are military strategists in Qi State.
General Zhao is very yearning for the art of war left by the great sage Sun Bin, so he sent a special person to ask Da Sima Neng to give him a volume of the book. My general will definitely read it every day and appreciate the virtues taught by Da Sima."
Hearing this, Tian Chong, who had always loved military books and strategies, immediately beamed with joy.
"Your general Zhao defeated the Chu army on the banks of Surabaya. He is also a talented person who is proficient in the art of war. He is willing to take me as his teacher. It is a courtesy."
"However, since he has the intention to learn the art of war from me, he is willing to ask for "The Law of Qi Sun Tzu. I, Tian Chong, am not a stingy person, so I will give him a volume, so that he can know the style of our sage military strategists from Qi State."
With a smile on his face, Tian Chong actually stood up in person, picked out a volume of "Qi Sun Tzu's Art of War" from the shelf, gave it to Li Shiqi, and told Li Shiqi: "Your general is ill, so he should carefully observe and practice this method while lying on the bed.
If you don’t understand something, just ask me for advice.”
"That's nature, nature."
Li Shiqi agreed and respectfully stepped back.
After seeing the Qin envoy leaving.
Tian Chong couldn't hold it in any longer and threw his head back laughing.
"Although Zhao Tuo is young, he is still a discerning person. He still knows how to ask for a volume "Qi Sunzi Returns" from me."
"However, Zhao Tuo must have fallen off his horse and was no longer able to command his troops. He was also afraid that I would take the opportunity to lead my troops to attack. Out of fear, he humbled himself and asked for courtesy."
"Judging from this, the Qin army has nothing to worry about!"
