The Lu army in the coalition attacked the Qi army, and then Fan's and Zhonghang's armies were involved, causing them to be surrounded head-to-head, while the armies belonging to different forces started fighting.
The development of the situation made Zhiyao a little dumbfounded at first, and then fell into ecstasy.
Then again, the State of Lu and the State of Qi have been at odds with each other for nearly two hundred years. The two sides have fought at least a thousand times in large and small wars or frictions, and the accumulated hatred is so much that the East China Sea cannot be filled.
The reason why the State of Lu formed an alliance with the State of Qi this time was purely because the State of Jin failed to protect the State of Lu, and their kings and ministers had no choice but to become Qi's younger brothers.
Zilu had the experience of being the head of the Jisun family and knew many nobles of the Lu State. He found a familiar noble and had a conversation with him on the battlefield. Later, the nobles of the Lu State who had communicated with Zilu chose to attack the Qi army.
.
So, was it Zilu who asked those Lu nobles to do that? No. He just told the Lu nobles the truth, that is, Lu Jun Song was surrounded by the Zhi army and was in danger of being captured at any time, and might even die.
In the chaos of the army.
Zilu also told the truth that the Zhi family still had more than one "division" of troops on their way to the battlefield, and the Zhao family would also return to join the battle after finishing the pursuit of the coalition forces. He believed that the coalition forces had no possibility of winning and could get
The best result is to withdraw some troops.
Previously, that is, in the hunt in the "communist" area, Zhishi let the Lu State go. Here is a bonus. The nobles of the Lu State who first attacked the Qi army hated the Qi State very much.
On the one hand, they hope to use this method in exchange for the Zhi clan not to capture their own monarch.
The relationship between Lu and Qi was extremely poor, and in fact, the relationship with Jin was not much better either.
The Jin State has been the eldest brother of the Lu State for more than a hundred years. For a long time, the Lu State has been protected by the Jin State in order to compete with the Qi State. The problem is that the kings and ministers of the Lu State have always liked to compete with the Jin State in Zhou rites.
He always likes to criticize the actions of Jin State.
The coalition forces will definitely be defeated? So in this battle with the Jin Kingdom, the Fan clan, the Zhonghang clan and the main force of the coalition forces will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the war situation will inevitably be reversed.
Once the coalition is defeated again, basically the princes will be unable to assemble more armies, and they will inevitably switch from an offensive posture to a defensive posture.
Jin people have a strong desire for revenge, far stronger than imagined.
In the past, the Qin State repeatedly waged undeclared wars against the Jin State, especially during the period when it allied with foreign tribes to invade the Jin State. Everyone was still engaged in the "gentlemen's war." However, the Qin State and the foreign coalition forces repeatedly massacred Li Shu.
, the result was that the Jin State was so ruthless that it captured the Qin State and beat it, and the hegemony established by Qin Mugong was in vain. Bai Zhai and Bai Zhai were also attacked and destroyed by the Jin State, so that the Qin State shrank to the west and did not dare to go east.
At that time, the Jin State was fighting for hegemony with the Chu State, and it was still able to take care of the Qin State, which undoubtedly proved the strength of the Jin State. The Chu State was also competing with the Jin State for hegemony on one side, and also had to deal with the Wu State on the other.
The state of Wu was on the verge of subjugation.
Otherwise, in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin and Chu were the two overlords, fighting each other to death repeatedly, and suppressing the northern and southern states respectively for more than a hundred years.
"The Lu army surrendered to me?" Zhiyao was honestly a little dumbfounded when she saw Zilu coming to report.
What about the promised "country of gentlemen"? How could the Lu army do such a backstabbing thing?
However, what happened was a good thing for Zhiyao, but it might be a bad thing for Jin.
The reason is that if Lu returns to Jin, Jin may not be able to protect Lu from Qi's revenge. Once Qi fully retaliates against Lu, the princes may see Jin's current external weakness.
Then again, there are only six to seven thousand Lu troops on the battlefield at most. The physical damage they can bring to the coalition forces is limited, and they are more likely to cause heavy psychological damage to the coalition forces.
After the Lu army rebelled, the coalition forces that had been able to hold on for a while were completely in chaos. There were even conflicts between the Qi army and the Fan family and the Zhonghang family. The Fan family and the Zhonghang family also fought with the Lu army.
Zilu replied: "No, the people of Lu hate Qi deeply, and they have no choice but to do it to save the king from danger."
Zhiyao didn't understand Lu Ren's thinking logic for a while.
The situation on the battlefield was chaotic enough before, but now it has become even more chaotic.
"I would like to send my greetings to the Marquis of Qi and the Marquis of Lu on my behalf." Zhiyao came to the front of the formation and greeted Qi Jun Chujiu and Lu Jun Song from a distance.
The besieged Qi army Chujiu, Lu Junsong and Shijishe had no more than one thousand troops around them, but they were surrounded by nearly four thousand Jin troops. In terms of their own situation, the situation was
It looks extremely bad.
Tian Qi was ordered to come out to negotiate with Zhiyao and asked, "But Gongsun Xun's face to face?"
There is nothing wrong with this title.
The Zhi family comes from the Xun family. In historical records, Zhishen, Zhishen and Zhiyao will all use the prefix "Xun", and even Xingyin in the records will be called "Xun Yin".
"You have no chance of winning, why don't you surrender early?" Zhiyao asked.
He did not mention the Lu army's backstabbing in front of the formation. Firstly, it was unnecessary, and secondly, he was a little worried that Qi Junchujiu would kill Lu Junsong on the spot.
At this time, the sound of prayers and drums came from the distance. It turned out that Zhishen had arrived with the follow-up troops. After praying for war, he was about to join the battle.
Farther away, the battle between Zhao and the enemy troops pursuing her was coming to an end.
The coalition forces learned that their main force was ambushed, especially when they saw Zhi's troops entering the scene one after another. How could they have the intention to continue to pursue the remnants of Zhao's troops? Since the role of the pursuer was the role of the pursued, Zhao Yang seized the opportunity to attack
The coalition army collapsed.
Tian Qi said: "How can a humble king surrender?"
Zhiyao knew this was right.
Qi is a big country, and no matter how foolish Chujiu is, he cannot be the first king to surrender before the battle and be captured.
Zhiyao said: "In this case, fighting?"
"Wait a minute!" Tian Qi asked sincerely, "Can I Yanqi?"
What's the meaning?
In fact, it is still a kind of surrender, but it is impossible to be taken as a prisoner, and only enough "buying money" will be left in exchange for Qi Junchujiu to escape from the battlefield.
To put it bluntly, Yanqi is the choice of "surrender and lose half", and the Qi army that carried out Yanqi will not play again in this battle.
That was the etiquette of the time when "gentlemen's wars" were still observed, but it is almost out of practice in the current era.
Zhiyao had a surprised expression on her face.
Tian Qi was very nervous and thought: "If it were me, I could take it all, why should I accept Yan Qi?"
Zhiyao was stalling for time, waiting for Zhishen to change the situation after joining the battlefield. He planned to wait for another two-quarters of an hour. Once Zhao Yang failed to join the battle in time, it was inevitable to accept the "Yanqi" proposed by Qi Junchujiu.
It must be done, the difference lies in the price offered to the coalition forces.
At this time, Zhao Yang came with a small number of guards!
