General Qin

Kill all?

Zhao Tuo was startled, and saw the Gaoyang alcoholic staring at him with his head upright and his face blushing.

"The Qi army is weak. The general led 30,000 troops and killed 100,000 of them in one battle. This battle will definitely shock the world! The general's reputation will be spread throughout the land of Qi. People in Qi will definitely change their expressions and tremble when they hear the name of the general. , the two forces are fighting and can't move, this is the chance of victory!"

"The general took advantage of this good opportunity to march eastward, and he will reach the city of Linzi without hindrance. One hundred thousand Qi troops have been newly defeated, Linzi's guards are weak, and the people of Qi are weak. The general can go down to the capital of Qi in one battle and capture King Jian of Qi. He and Qi Guogongqing's family have made great achievements in the world. At that time, the name of the general will be enough to compare with Le Yi in the past!"

Li Shiqi was very excited when he said it, and at the end, he added a sentence: "The generals and soldiers are coming to the capital of Qi. If you don't want your soldiers to be damaged, Li Shiqi is willing to enter the city. With the three-inch tongue in your mouth, you can say that you will surrender to the city." King Jian of Qi surrendered."

"If the King of Qi surrendered, Qi's territory of thousands of miles, more than 70 cities, were all in the hands of one general. Doesn't this mean that one general destroyed a country? Such meritorious service, I am afraid it is not a problem to be named a Marquis!"

"Also ask the general to think about it."

After speaking, Li Shiqi bowed to Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo licked his lips.

This Li Shiqi was really eloquent, and he said it was very easy to destroy the Qi State, as if he could win the Qi State in one battle as long as he sent troops.

In fact, it was not only Li Shiqi, but after the victory in the Zhencheng battle, the army clamored to send troops to Linzi, and the voice of destroying Qi was not small.

Among them, Heiyu, Zhang He and others are the most.

"One hundred thousand Qi troops are not as good as pigs!"

"Our 30,000 troops beat him to 100,000, and the casualties were less than a thousand. I think our 30,000 troops are enough to defeat his Qi army's 300,000!"

"What is 300,000, we can fight 500,000!"

"In the old days when Lord Wu'an attacked Yanying, the number of people under his command was only about the same as ours. With the leadership of General Zhao, we can also take down Linzi and destroy his country of Qi!"

From the Qin generals at the military rank to the low-level Qin army pawns, all of them held their heads high and their chests were high, and the bullshit became bigger and bigger.

Arrogance is growing in the army, and the voices of commanding troops to destroy Qi keep coming and going.

Zhao Tuo knew very well that the reason for his arrogance was that the Qin army not only won this battle too easily, but also the statistics of casualties after the battle were astonishing.

Compared with the defeat of the 100,000 Qi army, the number of people who were beheaded and captured by the Qin army reached more than 10,000, but the number of casualties of the Qin army was very low.

Of the 30,000 Qin soldiers, the total number of deaths and injuries was only a few hundred, not even a thousand. Many of the casualties of the Qin soldiers were not even caused by the Qi army. Many of them fell and were killed while running and chasing. stampede.

This kind of record is enough to make all Qin soldiers proud, and it also makes them stop paying attention to Qi people, thinking that 30,000 Qin troops are enough to win Qi.

Thirty thousand wiped out, is it possible?

Seeing Li Shiqi's persuasion, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but consider this possibility.

The 100,000 Qi army was defeated by Zhao Tuo. With Qi's mobilization ability, at least in a short period of time, it is difficult to recruit another large army. Therefore, as long as Zhao Tuo moves fast enough, it will be as Li Shiqi said. All the way to the city of Linzi, the capital of Qi.

Thirty thousand elite Qin troops attacked Linzi city.

With the power of Zhencheng's great victory in the first battle, coupled with the weak combat effectiveness of the Qi army, it is indeed very possible to win Linzi in the first battle.

He conquered Linzi, the capital of Qi, captured King Jian of Qi and the ministers of the clan of Qi, and destroyed the state of Qi.

This is a monstrous feat!

Enough to make everyone jealous.

So even if Li Shiqi was extremely resourceful, he couldn't help but be dazzled by this amazing feat. He even said that he could enter the city alone to persuade Qi Wangjian to surrender.

All this is only because of the interest.

If Zhao Tuo makes great achievements in destroying the country, his reputation will surely shake the world, enough to be compared with Wang Jian.

He could even imagine Qin Wangzheng's face full of astonishment when he received the news in Xianyang.

The widow asked you Zhao Tuo to attack the state of Chu, why did you destroy the state of Qi instead?

Li Shiqi's proposal was very touching and tempting.

But Zhao Tuo just thought about it, and saw the crisis hidden behind this huge temptation.

Qi has thousands of miles of land and hundreds of thousands of people armed with halberds and armor. It is a real great country in the world.

Even if the soldiers are weak and have not fought for more than 40 years, it cannot be denied that Qi has a vast land of more than 70 cities and millions of Qi people.

It may not be difficult to break Linzi and capture Qi Wangjian and Qi's clan and ministers, but it is not easy to occupy the entire Qi state and bring it down.

In the past, the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi and beat Qi to the point where only the two cities of Ju and Jimo were left.

Although Zhao Tuo and the 30,000 Qin army under his command are strong, their numbers are limited. It is impossible to truly destroy Qi. tricky.

This was the difficulty of destroying Qi, not as easy as Li Shiqi said.

On the other hand, the real mission of Zhao Tuo's northward journey this time was to defeat the Qi army, then go south to Fengpei, dig into the heart of Chu State from the rear, and mobilize Xiang Yan's army on the Huaibei battlefield to obtain a fighting opportunity for Wang Jian.

In such a tense situation, you, Zhao Tuo, went to attack Qi by yourself despite the hundreds of thousands of Qin's army confronting the Chu people.

According to the military law of "Military No Second Order", let alone rewards for meritorious deeds, even if Wang Jian cut off his head, it would be reasonable and compliant.

And for Qin Wangzheng, what he wants now is to destroy Qi?

No, what the king wants is to wash away the shame brought about by Li Xin's attack on Chu, destroy the state of Chu in one fell swoop, and capture and kill Xiong Qi who betrayed Qin and him. This is what Qin Wangzheng wants.

Zhao Tuo could imagine that even if he really destroyed Qi, the king would not only not be happy, but would feel very uncomfortable.

So even if Li Shiqi said the hype, Zhao Tuo would not agree.

In a word, the timing is wrong!

Therefore, Zhao Tuo shook his head and said: "Mr. Li is right, but attacking Chu is the big deal at this moment. If we attack Qi instead, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the general and the king to explain."

Seeing Zhao Tuo's refusal, Li Shiqi's eyes flashed with disappointment.

Judging from the information he had learned about the state of Qi, Li Shiqi was confident that he would surrender to King Jian of Qi when Zhao Tuo's soldiers surrounded Linzi.

It is said that the great achievement of destroying a country is enough for him to be promoted to many high-ranking titles, so he did not hesitate to try to persuade General Zhao, but unfortunately Zhao Tuo refused.

Li Shiqi understood the character of General Zhao. If he refused, it would be absolutely impossible, so he didn't say any more.

"What the general said is true, I am taking the liberty of it."

Zhao Tuo laughed and said, "It's hard to say if you are presumptuous. Although Mr. Li just said that the matter of destroying Qi is impossible now, it is not impossible to wait until after Chu is destroyed. If Zhao Tuo can lead the army to attack Qi in the future, he should let Li Show your style, sir."

Li Shiqi's eyes lit up. This was General Zhao giving him a hint.

If it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future.

"However, the most urgent task now is to destroy Chu, so the side of Qi needs to be stabilized. Not only will I not take the opportunity to attack Qi in this big victory, but I will also comfort Qi people so that we can march without any worries. This matter, I wonder if Mr. Li is interested?" Zhao Tuo asked.

Li Shiqi's spirit was lifted.

Here comes the task.

Lobbyists, that can also be counted as military merit.

The drunkard Gao Yang immediately stood up and accepted the order.

Zhao Tuo nodded and said: "There are still some people from the Four Kingdoms in Qi who have evil intentions. For the safety of my husband, I will send a group of soldiers to follow. I think after this big battle, the people of Qi will also guarantee the safety of my husband in fear."

"Thank you, General, for your love."

Li Shiqi felt at ease.

Then the two deliberated about the mission to Qi in the account.

According to Da Sima Tianchong, although he and Xiangbang Tianjia are supported by people from the four countries, they are actually using each other and are not true allies. Tianjia can also win over Qin.

In order to prevent the Qi people from being persuaded by the people of the Four Kingdoms again, after Zhao Tuo went south, he raised an army to the west, and Zhao Tuo gave Li Shiqi some important bargaining chips.

For example, this occupied Zhencheng, and the 6,000 captives in the hands of the Qin army.

There were originally more than 10,000 captives, but after the war, due to some reasons, there were a few thousand fewer, and there were many more military leaders. Therefore, the 6,000 people who survived were considered the lucky ones who narrowly escaped death.

Li Shiqi will use the 6,000 Qi captives and Zhencheng in exchange for Qi's goodwill.

First beat Qi Guo violently, and then give some candy to eat.

Such a strategy is enough to make Qi stand by in the ensuing Qin-Chu war.

Even with threats and lures, it is very possible to persuade the people of Qi and the Four Kingdoms to turn against each other, and let the Qi people wipe out those anti-Qin thieves.

Zhao Tuo said sternly: "Mr. Li, if you can persuade King Qi and Tian to wipe out the traitors of the Four Kingdoms, it will be a great achievement, and I will definitely ask for credit for you."

"The general has an order, Li Shiqi should do his best!"

Li Shiqi accepted the order generously, full of confidence in this mission.

Soon, the two discussed it properly, and Li Shiqi left to make preparations to envoy Qi.

Looking at the figure of the alcoholic Gao Yang, Zhao Tuo's eyes flickered.

This time, Li Shiqi's mission to Qi State not only stabilized those Qi people, but also had the mission of investigating the internal situation of Qi State. To prepare for the future attack.

He, Zhao Tuo, was very ambitious.

"Qi State is at the end, and now the most important thing is to destroy Chu."

"After Puyang's reserve soldiers arrive here and take over the defense of Zhencheng, I will lead 30,000 elite soldiers to go south and head straight to Fengpei, Chu State!"

"The old road, I want to walk again!"
