"The three hundred thousand newly recruited soldiers of Qi State have gathered here. It is the opportunity for our army to defeat them in one battle and make an emergency landing with the power of victory. We must not give the other side a chance to train and rectify."
In the commander's tent of the Qin army, counselor Li Shiqi's face was full of joy and he opened his mouth to make suggestions.
Lieutenant General Tu Sui laughed and said: "You're right, we have been waiting for almost two months, from winter to spring, but we can't wait any longer. Now that the weather is getting warmer, the soldiers are full of energy and are about to fight.
yes."
"Of course, after defeating these 300,000 Qi troops, Mr. Nai will definitely be promoted to a noble title this time!"
The generals were all excited, with happy faces on their faces, and all their eyes fell on the leader, General Zhao.
Seeing that the generals were full of fighting spirit, Zhao Tuo would not refuse.
He looked at Li Shengqi and said: "In that case, please enter the Qi camp and tell the Grand Sima that our Qin army has kept its promise and is waiting for the Qi State to gather a large army. Now I will wait for the Grand Sima to come with me as agreed.
A battle between gentlemen."
At this time, a general worriedly asked: "What if the great Sima doesn't agree to fight with me?"
The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth curled up slightly.
Li Shiqi laughed and answered on his behalf: "Don't worry, the Great Sima will definitely keep his promise. If he doesn't agree, then he is no longer the Great Sima."
Black Butt also laughed and said: "Don't agree? If you don't agree, there will be another night attack. Anyway, 300,000 Qi troops have already arrived, and the next initiative is in our hands!"
…
Outside Zhen City, there is a gorgeous tent.
On the couch, Grand Sima Tian Chong was playing chess on a small case in front of him.
One white chess piece represents the Qi army, and one black chess piece represents the Qin army.
Tian Chong was eloquent and talked endlessly about the military situation. At the same time, he held chess with both hands and fought against each other, constantly simulating situations that might be encountered on the battlefield.
After a long time, Tian Chong put down the chess pieces.
He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and smiled quickly at the prime minister in front of him: "I have predicted the possible tactics that the Qin army will use in this battle. No matter which method Zhao Tuo chooses to fight our army,
, we all have countermeasures, how do you feel, Mr. Xiangfu?"
Xiang Fuji is a disciple of Qi Mo. He has always been good at verbal battles and is also a guy who likes to brag.
Seeing that Da Sima was eloquent and eloquent, he believed it for a while. Then he looked at the black chess piece that had been killed and left no trace of it on the case. He clapped his hands and praised: "Da Sima's military deduction is really amazing. Da Sima has great military skills."
With such a general commanding the troops, there is no need to worry about winning this battle. A mere 200,000 Qin troops are nothing."
Being slapped by this flattery, Tian Chong laughed loudly and said: "Speaking of which, this is also the time for Zhao Tuo to keep his promise and give me the time for Qi to gather an army. Otherwise, if there are no 300,000 troops and only 100,000 troops, I will still
He is really no match for Zhao Tuo. After all, Zhao Tuo's military skills are also very powerful, but he is only a little weaker than me."
At this moment, Zou Yang, a close aide of Da Sima, came to report outside the tent.
"Da Sima, the envoy of the Qin army, Li Shi, asked to see him."
"messenger?"
Tian Chong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It seems that Zhao Tuo can't wait any longer. But the name of Li Shiqi sounds familiar. Is he the envoy from last time?"
Zou Yang said awkwardly: "Da Sima is the same person from before. At that time, Da Sima asked his servants to welcome him into the camp and threatened him with the strong men in the army."
Tian Chong nodded and said: "Since you went to greet him last time, you should go this time, but this time you take him through the old and weak camp and don't let him see our strong army. In addition, let someone call the generals.
I will receive the messenger in the tent."
Zou Yang was stunned for a moment, and then he accepted the offer with his hand.
After Zou Yang left, the prime minister quickly touched the long beard under his chin and said, "Isn't it that Da Sima is trying to show the enemy that he is weak and arrogant to the people of Qin?"
Tian Chong chuckled and said: "Of course, I have trained ten thousand elite soldiers in Linzi using ancient methods. I have even thousands of martial arts warriors. One of them can be as good as ten. They are my elite. Even the king and the prime minister saw it and praised it.
It’s endless.”
"Such elites are the key to our army's victory this time. I first let the Qin army think that our Qi people are old and weak and can be bullied. Then the Qin people will be arrogant and lazy. When the two sides are fighting, I will attack their flanks with surprise troops.
If we go to the rear, we can catch Zhao Tuo off guard, and maybe we can defeat his army and capture Zhao Tuo on the spot, haha."
…
Outside the Qi army camp.
Li Shiqi, the envoy of the State of Qin, raised his eyes and looked around, his eyes moving as he kept taking Qi Ying's information into his mind.
After a while, someone came out of Qi Camp.
He raised his hands to Li Shiqi and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Li is still as charming as ever."
"Oh, it turns out to be Zou Jun. What a coincidence."
Li Shiqi laughed. The two had dealt with each other before, and after a conversation, they walked into the military camp hand in hand.
Along the way, Li Shiqi noticed that the camps of the Qi army were very chaotic. Some camps were close to each other and some were far away. The ditches between different camps were dug in a mess, and the soldiers were all shouting and screaming in their respective camps.
, it seemed that there was a mix of young and old, the clothes were not neat and tidy, and all sorts of unintelligible Qi local dialects kept pouring into Li Shiqi's ears.
Li Shiqi watched silently, thoughtfully in his heart, but without saying a word, he followed Zou Yang to the Chinese army's tent.
Only then did his eyelids twitch slightly.
In the last battle of Zhencheng, Grand Sima Tian Chong had the army stationed outside the city. He lived in his mansion in the city and was out of touch with the army.
Nowadays, tents are set up in military camps, which is an improvement compared to before.
"Sir, please enter the account."
Zou Yang smiled and stretched out his hand.
Li Shiqi cupped his hands and walked in.
In the commander's tent, the senior generals of the Qi army were already sitting on both sides. Xiang Fuji, who was the strategist and lobbyist of the Qi army, was also sitting at the head of the Grand Sima. All his eyes fell on the Qin envoy who entered the tent.
"The Qin envoy Li Shiqi has seen the great Sima's feet."
Li Shiqi held his head high and bowed his hands to the great Sima who was sitting on the throne in the tent.
Tian Chong frowned.
He still remembered that before the last battle of Zhencheng, this Qin envoy came to visit him. He was lying on the ground and looked extremely humble.
Now his posture has changed drastically and he looks very arrogant. This means that he is no longer in the eyes of the Great Sima.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tian Chong looked unhappy and said: "Why is the envoy here?"
Li Shiqi smiled slightly and said in a loud voice: "Da Sima knows that I came here this time on the orders of my general, to ask Da Sima to fulfill the old agreement. The Qin and Qi armies are fighting a noble fight.
battle."
Fulfilling an agreement, a battle between gentlemen?
The Great Sima Tian Chong thought of the war between Qin and Qi two months ago. Zhao Tuo had a heavy army, but he did not take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. Instead, he wrote a letter of comfort and said that he was willing to wait until Tian Chong gathered Qi's army before the two sides made an agreement.
Time and place for a fair and just battle.
Zhao Tuo not only said it, but actually did it.
Zhao Tuo is truly a gentleman.
Thinking of this, Tian Chong felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
He nodded and said: "It is my wish to have a gentleman's battle with General Zhao."
Li Shiqi said with a smile: "In that case, our Qin army will decide the time of this battle, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the generals in the tent changed.
The battle time was determined by the Qin army, which was a disadvantage for them.
Tian Dan immediately said: "The difference between the envoy's words is that it is a promise to fight. When both parties agree on a time to fight, can it be decided by one party?"
Li Shiqi turned his laughter into anger and scolded: "What an unreasonable Qi man. Two months ago, our Qin army had 200,000 troops gathered in Dongjun. Your Qi army only had 100,000 troops. If our army attacked at that time,
, when you defeat your army in one battle and march directly to Linzi, will you be able to bargain here?"
"Hey! My general is loyal to the world and gave you two months to recruit an army. Let me ask you, has this kind of thing happened since ancient times?"
Li Shiqi let out a long sigh, and angrily yelled at the Qi people in the tent: "You have taken such a big advantage, and today you are not even willing to agree to the time set by our army. Qi people, do you know your integrity?"
There was silence in the entire tent, and even Xiang Fuji, who wanted to talk back, kept his mouth shut.
The fact that the Qin army took advantage of the situation and did not attack allowed them two months to prepare is a fact that no one can argue with.
In today's world of great strife, intrigues and deceptions are common on the battlefield, and surprise and night attacks are commonplace. There is no need to agree on a time for one side to attack the other.
Qin general Zhao Tuo not only gave them time to prepare, but also did not resort to sneak attacks. Instead, he was willing to fight a gentleman's war upright. On the battlefield of this era, this behavior can be regarded as a moral model.
Now Li Shiqi proposed that the Qin army should set the time, which was reasonable and reasonable. If they blocked it, they would really have no faith.
"Okay, let General Zhao decide the time. Whenever he says it will be!"
Tian Chong's face turned red when he was told that, and he agreed on the spot.
Li Shiqi then turned angry and smiled, cupping his hands and saying: "Da Sima is indeed a gentleman of etiquette. When I came here this time, my general had already set a time, so we made an appointment at this time, how about it?"
"Can."
Tian Chong nodded.
Li Shiqi smiled and said, "In that case, the time will be set five days later, when our general and Grand Sima will fight an upright battle in the Zhencheng wilderness."
"Five days?"
As soon as these words came out, Qi Jiang Tian Dan's expression changed drastically.
He stood up desperately and shouted to Da Sima: "Da Sima, five days is too short to agree."
During this period of time in Tiandan, I often visited the camp to inspect the situation, so I had some understanding of the status of the Qi army.
He knew that these 300,000 people had just been recruited. Not only were there frequent private fights, but most of them had never been soldiers. They couldn't even stand in the most basic formation, let alone the golden drum flag.
, it takes a while to train.
Five days is obviously too short.
Of course, Tian Dan's observation was limited to this. After all, he had never been on the battlefield. It was equally difficult for him to see through the deeper problems of the Qi army.
His experience was all taught by Great Sima Tian Chong.
Da Sima Tianchong frowned and hesitated.
He once trained 10,000 soldiers in Linzi to practice formations, but he also knew that five days was not enough time to train an army.
Li Shiqi's face darkened when he saw General Qi objecting in the tent. However, he was a smart man and did not refute General Qi who tried to dissuade him. Instead, he turned around and faced Da Sima directly.
"Da Sima, do you know how many injustices my General Zhao has suffered in order to fight this gentleman's battle with you?"
Li Shiqi raised his voice and said: "Two months ago, our deputy general of the Qin army, General Tu, said at the military meeting that he would use thunder to defeat the Qi army, and then go straight to Linzi and win the victory of destroying Qi. All the generals opened their mouths.
Agreed. Only General Zhao, thinking of his friendship with Da Sima, overcame all opinions and suppressed it, which caused dissatisfaction among the generals."
"General Zhao has been stationed in Dongjun for two months. Countless people in the army have complained, and countless people in the world have questioned it. Even in Xianyang City, there are young people who want to frame my general with slander."
"What a grievance! What pressure! My generals endured all of them. Why is this?"
"It's for you!"
"For you, Tian Da Sima!"
Li Shiqi's face showed grief, and he sighed: "My general regards Da Sima as his confidant. He often said that in the battle of Zhencheng in the past, he won with cunning tactics, which was the injustice of the world. I always feel guilty in my heart."
"Especially when I left Xianyang, Da Sima taught him the upright way, and my general remembered it in his heart, so this time he resisted the pressure of everyone in the world and delayed it for two months, waiting until Da Sima gathered his soldiers, and then he came to act like a gentleman.
war!"
"Now, I have nothing to hide."
The look of grief on Li Shiqi's face became heavier, and his voice became more mournful.
"Why did my general set a time of five days? It's not that he didn't want to leave time for Da Sima to train his army, but because the generals in the army were already dissatisfied. General Tu even threatened to sue the King of Xianyang!"
"At that time, I'm afraid that Da Sima wants to have another gentleman's battle with my general, and I'm afraid..."
"Stop talking! I promise!"
Tian Chong shouted, his eyes were blurred and his face was already red and hot.
The image of a young man appeared in his mind.
Zhao Tuo actually did so much for Tian Chong.
Moved and guilty, they kept surging in my heart.
"I promise!"
"Five days from now, I, Tian Chong, shall fight Zhao Tuo in an upright gentleman's battle!"
The latest update time is out of order and I am very uneasy. I will try to adjust the time tomorrow.
