General Qin

Qin Jun camped outside Chenliu City for the night, and would not go north to the border of Dongjun until early tomorrow morning.

"Doctor Li, please stay safe."

Zhao Tuo saw the Li brothers and asked them to enter the account with a smile.

As the commander-in-chief of the first army with the rank of Zhong Geng, Zhao Tuo greeted a doctor and a young man in person. This gesture can be described as very grand.

"The general is in a high position, but he values ​​me very much. Not only did he send orders to recruit him, but he even personally welcomed Li Shiqi into his account. The general's intentions, the general's heart, really moved me very much."

Li Shiqi, who was wearing a long veneer crown, sighed all over his face, and gave a deep salute to Zhao Tuo.

He looked into Zhao Tuo's eyes, full of emotion and amazement, not only because of Zhao Tuo's extraordinary courtesy, but also because Li Shiqi was shocked by Zhao Tuo's speed of promotion.

Zhao Tuo.

A teenager in his teens.

When we met for the first time, I was only the eighth-level public transport, and my position was five hundred masters.

When they met for the second time, they climbed to the title of Five Doctors, and were promoted to the rank of Military Marquis in charge of Yiqu.

And now, that's even more serious. He even surpassed the titles of Zuo Shuzhang, You Shuzhang, and Zuo Geng above the five senior officials, and became the high-ranking Zhong Geng!

Moreover, Zhao Tuo's position in the army has changed from a military officer in charge of only 5,000 people to a general who controls tens of thousands of people.

Li Shiqi was amazed at such a speed of meritorious deeds and the span of upgrading his title, but at the same time, he was also full of envy.

Does this Zhao Tuo eat his promotion as a meal?

So when he received Zhao Tuo's call this time, Li Shiqi decisively brought his younger brother here.

He, Li Shiqi, wants to follow Zhao Tuo to be promoted to a noble and make meritorious service!

Li Shang on the side looked at Zhao Tuo with admiration and awe.

He was born as a knight-errant, and Li Shang valued Zhao Tuo's heroic deeds more than his elder brother's title of title.

"On the bank of Surabaya, General Zhao defeated the Zuo Sima of Chu State with his back. The world was shocked in the first battle, and his reputation was prominent. How magnificent! Shang admired this very much."

With that said, Li Shang bowed respectfully, expressing his sincere admiration.

Seeing the two brothers bowing to him, Zhao Tuo smiled.

Now, he has been able to achieve the point where a person can accept his head and worship him with a shock of his body.

Nothing less than other things, status, meritorious achievements are convincing.

"Mr. Li, don't be too polite. This time Zhao Tuo went north to Dongjun to fight against the people of Qi, and he still needs to rely on his advice. How about asking him to enter my shogunate temporarily and be my guest?"

Zhao Tuo smiled slightly and extended an invitation.

Li Shiqi's eyes brightened.

To be General Zhao's guest of honor?

That would be great!

shogunate.

Also known as Mofu.

In ancient times, those who went out to fight were generals, and when the army was returned, they were not allowed to return. The reason for impermanence was that the curtain was used as the official office, so it was called "Mo Mansion".

When you reach the position of General Pi, you can set up a shogunate, invite celebrities and advisors to enter the shogunate, and participate in important military affairs.

As a general's staff, his status is not at the same level as that of a simple military lobbyist.

What is the curtain, like the curtain, is a curtain that separates the space in the house. Inside the curtain is the private place of the living room, so the guests who can be invited into the curtain are naturally the general's close friends, and they belong to the true confidantes.

"Since the general invites me to enter the curtain, I have the courtesy of declining."

Li Shiqi chuckled and responded with a gulp.

Zhao Tuo and Li Shiqi looked at each other with understanding smiles.

Zhao Tuo needed Li Shiqi to advise him, and even risked being a lobbyist.

Li Shiqi also needed Zhao Tuo to provide him with a stage to display his talents, otherwise even if he had amazing talents, he would have nowhere to display them.

Therefore, the two hit it off and reached a close cooperation.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Zhao Tuo sent Li Shang to report to Zhonglimei, and he would follow him as a short soldier in the future.

Then he sat in the tent with Li Shiqi and talked in detail, getting straight to the point, talking about the Qi State's military deployment.

"The chief general of the Qi army is named Tian Chong, he is a side branch of the Qi clan, he has been familiar with military books and war strategies since he was a child, and he often compares himself with the old Anping Lord."

Li Shiqi shared the information he had inquired during this time.

Zhao Tuo nodded slightly, what Li Shiqi said was similar to Qin Jun's information.

Tian Chong, the leader of the Qi army, is about forty years old. He likes to read military books the most. It is said that he has already torn up hundreds of volumes of military books and war strategies in his home. He claims to have "one hundred thousand soldiers" in his chest. General.

Therefore, when Qi State sent troops this time, Tian Chong was the general.

"I often compare myself with Anping Jun Tian Dan. This Tian Chong is arrogant, and I don't know how talented he is."

Although Zhao Tuo had never heard of the reputation of "Tian Chong" before, he did not take it lightly.

Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of life and death, must be investigated.

In war, Zhao Tuo must be cautious and cautious in everything he does and everyone he treats, so that he can be safe. This is the way of military strategy taught by Wang Jian.

Seeing Zhao Tuo's serious face, Li Shiqi smiled and said, "General, don't worry too much about Tian Chong."

"From my point of view, although Natian Chong speaks loudly, he has never been on a battlefield in his life, and his 100,000 soldiers are all people who have not fought. If we really want to fight, I am afraid it will be like the old days. 'Ma Fuzi' is average, no, maybe he's not as good as 'Ma Fuzi'."

"So the general will lead the troops to stand firm in Dongjun and confront the Qi army, and nothing will happen."

After Li Shiqi finished speaking, Zhao Tuo laughed.

"What Mr. Li said is true. If I stick to Dongjun, I won't be afraid of Tian Chong's 100,000 Qi army. However, I don't intend to stick to it. So this time, I need to plan more."

Li Shiqi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "General, are you going to swallow the 100,000 Qi army?"

"Of course!"

Outside the tent, the sky is getting late and the moon is rising.

Inside the curtain of the military tent, the two men were whispering, with occasional chuckles echoing.

...

It took Zhao Tuo's army another half a month since Chenliu went to Puyang in the East Commandery, and it was already autumn when they arrived.

Along the way, you can already see farmers in the fields on the side of the road starting to harvest crops.

autumn harvest.

The battle between Qin and Chu in the south is at its most critical moment. If anyone can't bear it first and withdraws his troops to go back to attend to the autumn harvest, it will leave a loophole for the opponent, and if he is not careful, he will suffer a fatal blow.

However, both Xiang Yan and Wang Jian are steady veterans, Qin Chu is also a big country, and its national strength can still withstand consumption. Even if this battle delays the country's autumn harvest, they will not withdraw their troops.

Therefore, according to the current situation, the two armies will probably have to face off in Huaibei for a few more months until one side exhausts its national strength before deciding the outcome.

To break the current impasse, a new emergency is needed.

Puyang.

Known as the Ruins of Zhuanxu in ancient times, it was the capital of Emperor Zhuanxu in ancient times, so it was also called Diqiu, and it was also the capital of Weiguo in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Qin established Dongjun and moved Wei Jun to the land of wild kings.

Puyang was owned by the state of Qin and was set as the county seat of Dongjun.

According to the pivot of China, this place is not only an important place for defense, but also the Confucianism of Jin, Zheng, Wu and Chu. Like Zhencheng in the hands of Qi State, it has been a place that military strategists have fought for since ancient times.

Therefore, Zhao Tuo led his troops straight to this place, and the 20,000 soldiers and civilian husbands recruited by the Dongjun County Lieutenant were also gathered here, waiting for the general Zhao Tuo who had received the Qin King's edict and the tiger charm, and obtained the command of Dongjun's troops. Go ahead and take over.

this day.

Tu Sui, who had just taken office, was waiting outside Puyang City with a group of subordinates.

Perhaps it was because the 100,000 Qi troops stationed at the border put great pressure on the Qin people in Dongjun, making the atmosphere in Dongjun extremely depressed in the past two months.

In order to boost the morale of the people, Tu Sui, the county captain, organized the nearby Qin people to come outside the city today to watch the scene where General Zhao, who has the reputation of "last stand", brought 20,000 Qin elites here.

Seeing that there are 20,000 Qin troops supporting the battle, the Qin people in Dongjun no longer need to fear the 100,000 Qi troops on the border.

So this morning, there were crowds of people outside Puyang City, and countless people crowded together, vying to stand on tiptoe, wanting to see what the famous General Zhao looked like, and whether he was really as young as the rumors said.

"General Zhao, I heard that he is only in his teens and hasn't been crowned yet!"

"That's right, at such a young age, he actually possessed the title of Zhong Geng. The speed is too fast. I heard that General Zhao might be our king's exiled concubine..."

"Nonsense and rumours. General Zhao's title is obviously earned by himself. Have you ever heard of the Surabaya River fighting with one's back?"

"That's right, don't talk nonsense, be careful that in the end, your dog's life will not be guaranteed, and you will also implicate us."

...

While all the Qin people in Dongjun were talking about it, someone called out, "Here we come, General Zhao is here!"

Everyone looked up, and they really saw a black-armored army heading towards this place on the western road.

The car rattled, Ma Xiaoxiao.

After the chariots and cavalry who cleared the way, there was the army of Qin with spears and halberds raised high and black flags waving.

It's just that when the Qin army came close and most people could see it clearly, many people were stunned.

Because this Qin army was disorganized, the marching ranks were quite scattered, and many soldiers were talking while walking, and the officials of the Qin army who followed were not too busy, and some even joined in, chatting while walking.

Fortunately, these lax military discipline are just ordinary soldiers.

Don't you look very elite when you don't see the thousands of short soldiers surrounded by the main general?

Full of energy, with neat steps, each of them is a brave warrior.

Looking at the size of these soldiers, it reminds people of the sentence "Lamb fur and leopard decorations, Kong Wu is powerful" said in "Poetry". With these strong men guarding Dongjun, why fear the army of Qi State.

Not to mention, the chief general of this army is the well-known and outstanding young general Zhao Tuo of the Qin State. His reputation is even more exciting.

All eyes were on a steed under the big banner.

General Zhao seems to be riding a tall and mighty horse instead of a chariot to show off his superb riding skills.

General Zhao wears a mighty pheasant crown on his head, exquisite armor on his body, and a gorgeous long sword on his waist, revealing a majestic and noble temperament everywhere.

It was just because the distance was too far, coupled with the crowd of short soldiers around, that it was difficult for many people to see General Zhao's young face clearly.

"Hahaha, General Zhao is here. This captain has been waiting for a long time!"

Tu Sui, Lieutenant of Dongjun, laughed loudly, and led a group of subordinates towards General Zhao's horse.

General Zhao seemed to have a friendship with Tu Junwei, so he dismounted to greet him.

The moment General Zhao dismounted, a sudden change occurred. The horse neighed for some unknown reason, and stood up, throwing General Zhao off its back.

Immediately afterwards, before the onlookers knew what was going on, General Zhao's short soldiers shouted and surrounded General Zhao who had fallen from his horse to protect him.

I don't know who yelled, "General Zhao has fallen off his horse!"!

Immediately afterwards, rumors spread, and the words "General Zhao fell off the horse" were everywhere.

"Qin General Zhao Tuo fell off his horse!"

In the crowd, several people looked at each other in blank dismay, their faces full of astonishment.

Although they didn't see the face of Qin General Zhao Tuo clearly just now, they could clearly see the process of falling off the horse. Coupled with the chaotic scene outside Puyang City, they didn't know what happened just now.

"Great, Qin general Zhao Tuo fell off the horse, I'll go back and report soon."

These few people slowly retreated from the panicked crowd, and ran towards Dongfang Zhencheng...

I received the notification that there will be recommendations at the end of the book. During this period of time, I will keep stable for two updates, and stop adding updates for a while. I will save the manuscript for the time being and wait until the end of the month.

If there are manuscripts saved, the update time will also stabilize, and an automatic release will be scheduled tomorrow, and the first chapter will be released at 12 noon, so you don't have to refresh frequently.

"Historical Records Biography of Lian Po Lin Xiangru": "Purchase officials at a low price, and the city rent is imported into the Mo Mansion for the soldiers' expenses." Say 'Mo Mansion'." Suo Yin also quoted Cui Hao as saying: "The ancients went out to be the generals, and the army returned it, and the reason is impermanent, and the curtain is the government office, so it is called 'Mo Mansion'."
