Few people know that thirty years ago, Yang Jiande and Chongxuan Chu Liang fought side by side.
The war that swept through the entire Eastern Region and affected the whole world was the decisive battle for the Qi-Xia hegemony.
At that time, Yang Jiande and Chongxuan Chu Liang each led an army and guarded Xieyue Valley together. Together they withstood thirteen waves of Xia army's offensive and firmly held their position.
At that time, both Qi and Xia had millions of troops, and the war was in full swing. The two sides were entangled on hundreds of miles of front. This was a long-lasting and fierce battle, and no one could predict the outcome until the end of the war.
But at this time, Yang Jiande and Chongxuan Chu Liang had differences. Yang Jiande believed that his army was exhausted and it was time to withdraw and rest in order to plan for victory. They had already achieved great success in defending Xieyue Valley.
.If you lose Xianyue Valley, you will be guilty even if you win.
However, Chu Liang, Chongxuan, insisted on launching a counterattack.
In the end, Yang Jiande chose to withdraw his troops and rotate them. However, Chongxuan Chu Liang was so bold that before the rotation of the defenders from the rear arrived, he insisted on abandoning Xieyue Valley and dispatched with all his troops to defeat the Xia Kingdom.
The retreating troops were defeated again, and then drove the defeated troops to kill, broke through three lines of defense, and broke into the rear of Xia Kingdom in one fell swoop!
Then he massacred the city and cut off food and land, a series of feats that earned him the name of "The Massacre".
Now more than thirty years have passed, and Yang Jiande, who had changed his appearance at that time, has become the leader of a country.
And the fat man who was usually kind and gentle, but went crazy when he went to the battlefield, became a famous general that no one in the entire Qi military could ignore.
Yang Jiande invited him with his credentials because he wanted to see if Chu Liang, the Chongxuan who fought alongside him back then, had the courage to travel thousands of miles alone.
…
…
"Please surrender? Why do you say this?" In the military tent, Chongxuan Chu Liang held the letter of credence asking for surrender with a surprised look on his face.
The envoy from the Yang Kingdom standing in front of the tent looked full of grief and anger, and said with humiliation: "Why does the commander ask questions knowingly?"
The country was humiliated and people were sad, and he almost shed tears, but he did not want to be weak in front of the people of Qi, so he forced back the tears: "Qi Yang has been an alliance for four generations! If Qi Dan has an attack, there is no one in Yang who will not follow. If Qi Dan has something to do,
There is no need for help from the Yang Kingdom! I dare to ask the commander, what is our crime in the Yang Kingdom for causing this military disaster!?"
Inside the account, the Qi army generals remained silent.
Chu Liang, Chongxuan, was stunned for a long time and sighed: "Yangjun misunderstood me so deeply! He misunderstood Daqi so deeply!"
"This plague in the Yang Kingdom is not a trivial matter, it can harm the extraordinary. If it is allowed to spread, there may be unbearable disasters! As a major country in the Eastern Region, Da Qi must stabilize the order in the Eastern Region and do its best to ensure the safety of the entire Eastern Region.
!”
"I came here with the army under the order just to help Yang State contain the spread of the plague. I would like to ask your envoy, if our army does not come, can Yang State lock the border? With such determination, such courage, and such courage
Ability?"
"The envoy may wish to report back to Lord Yang. You know, Yang State belongs to the State of Qi. Privately, we have the same friendship. Please rest assured, Lord Yang. I will send troops to the border to contain the disaster. I will not set foot in Yang."
The land of the country!”
To be sent by Yang Jiande to deliver a letter of surrender at this time, the envoy of Yang State must not only be loyal, but also must not be a fool.
Hearing Chongxuan Chu Liang's reply, he was indeed relieved, but he just kept "letting go" into the abyss...
In fact, the deceased Yang Xuanji, the crown prince of Yang Kingdom, was not a mediocre person. He was right on at least one point. Yang Kingdom was a vassal state of Qi State, and it had always been respectful and never broke its treaty. If Qi State wanted to annex Yang Kingdom, it should not ignore the world.
Public discussion.
Especially when Qi is not the only hegemonic country in the world, if Qi only focuses on the Eastern Region, its vision will be too shallow.
It is impossible to subdue all nations simply by having a strong army.
Taking this into consideration, Yang Xuanji believed that the Qi State's psychological expectation should only be to seize the territory of several cities, and to take advantage of the opportunity of trapping the plague to complete the de facto possession in the name of rescuing the disaster, without the need for public condemnation.
Many Yang Kingdom ministers also held the same view.
Another group of people, represented by Yang Jiande, believed that the Qi State was at its peak, and it was inevitable that it would unite the eastern regions to form the Eastern Kingdom, and then the west would conquer the world. Under this general strategy, they did not pay attention to some trivial material issues.
The Yang State envoy who submitted the letter of surrender also held the latter view. Only now did he realize that he was wrong. Chongxuan Chu Liang, or Qi State, cared very much about the public opinion of the world.
However, this kind of "care" may be more terrifying than not caring.
Because the result of this "care" is what Chongxuan Chu Liang is doing now.
He seems to have made up his mind to trap Suoyang Kingdom and isolate it from the inside and outside.
In normal times, the Yang Kingdom could completely shut itself down and survive for three to five years without any problems. But what time is it now? The plague is mutating and is raging. It is precisely when the plague needs to be concentrated on dealing with it.
This is the time when outside help is needed.
But with the Qi army encircling the area, can Yang State still be able to concentrate its forces to deal with the mutated plague?
This move of Chongxuan Chu Liang is tantamount to forcing the people of the Yang Kingdom...the whole country to die within the territory!
This is [Slaughter]!
Of course he would not set foot on the land of the Yang Kingdom, because he did not have to set foot on the land of the Yang Kingdom and did not need to do it himself, the plague would kill all the people of the Yang Kingdom for him.
And Qi State doesn't even have to bear a bad reputation, because they did in fact contain the terrible mutated plague for the Eastern Region, and even for the world.
He only needs to take over the land of Yang Kingdom afterwards.
Looking at the chubby old man in front of him who looked very gentle, the Yang Kingdom envoy felt as if he had seen the devil.
Until he left the military tent and was enveloped by the scorching sunshine, he still felt like he was in a world of ice and snow, feeling only a biting coldness in his body and mind.
…
The envoy from Yang State came with humiliation and staggered away full of despair.
In the military tent, a general couldn't help but said: "Commander, since Mr. Yang knows the current situation and asks to surrender, why don't you just go with the flow? Subjugating an enemy's troops without fighting is the highest level of military art, and it shows the reputation of the commander-in-chief."
If we can avoid fighting, why bother with a war? You must know that not only the land is a resource, but the population is too. With the cooperation of Yang Ting, the entire territory of Yang Kingdom can be smoothly taken over. It is also possible to disperse the people of Yang Kingdom and move them to different places within three generations.
I'm here to help you."
Chongxuan Chu Liang glanced at him slowly and asked slowly: "General Tian, how many benefits has Yang Jiande promised you?"
The general's face instantly turned pale, and dense cold sweat covered his forehead. Even his voice was trembling: "You are humble and loyal, how could you get involved with Yang Thief? Everything you think about is for me, Da Qi, and the commander-in-chief."
Consider it!”
Chongxuan Chu Liang glanced at the other generals: "What about you? Do you think so too?"
All the generals were looking at each other with their eyes, nose, nose and heart, without even making eye contact, let alone speaking aloud.
Chongxuan Chu Liangjing waited for a while and then smiled: "The Osawatian family is really powerful. So many people have no objections to my decision, but your surname is Tian. Haha, interesting."
The general surnamed Tian could no longer care about anything else. He knelt down with a plop and put his whole forehead on the ground: "How dare you humble your position! He is really stupid, careless, and clumsy! But being humble can make a difference to the commander-in-chief.
