General Qin

"Great Sima, didn't you say that Zhao Tuo stationed troops in Dongyuan, but waited for King Qin's order to go north to chase Hu and occupy Liaodong, so we don't need to worry?"

"How come in the blink of an eye, such a large army of Qin State gathered in Dongjun, and Qin General Zhao Tuo also led his troops to the south. What's going on? Tell me!"

Immediately after the panic, Minister of the State of Qi pointed the finger at Da Sima Tianchong.

Tian Chong's face turned redder.

He had vowed to guarantee Zhao Tuo in the court at the beginning, but he didn't know that the slap in the face came so quickly.

Tian Chong wanted to say that he was also deceived by Zhao Tuo and fell into the tricks of the Qin people.

But after thinking about it carefully, he found that Zhao Tuo never said that he was going to Liaodong, but only asked him how to deal with the barbarians in the bamboo slips.

Just at that time, the news that Qin State was about to conquer Liaodong was spreading everywhere, which made Tian Chong connect the two things together, and mistakenly thought that Zhao Tuo was going to lead the army to conquer Liaodong.

Am I mistaken?

Facing the questions from the officials, Tian Chong held back for a while.

He thought of the Qi army he had just trained, and his eyes burst into brilliance again.

Tian Chong raised his head and said loudly to the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty: "What are you afraid of? I said before that if the people of Qin really dared to attack our country of Qi, I, Tian Chong, would do it myself! Why do you need to worry about the king and the princes?" worry?"

"In the old days when King Jian conquered Chu, a dilapidated state of Chu was able to recruit 400,000 troops. Our country of Qi is 2,000 miles away, with hundreds of thousands of armored troops. Millet is like hills and mountains, and the world is full of wealth. Could it be that we can't recruit hundreds of thousands of troops? ?”

"It doesn't matter if Qin sent 200,000 troops, I don't need 400,000 to bully him. I just ask the king to order 300,000 troops to repel the Qin people!"

Tian Chong waved his arms, spit flying, and said: "If the Qin army adopts Wang Jian's old strategy, it will consume the country's power. The grain and fodder in our Qi State warehouse can support an army of 300,000 for several years. The failure of grain is enough to exhaust the people of Qin to the point of being unable to sustain it."

"If the Qin army comes to attack, our army will be 300,000, which is more than his Qin army. There are more elite soldiers who can fight ten against one. Why should we be afraid of him in a frontal battle?"

"Furthermore, it is an unjust act for the people of Qin to come here in violation of the contract. It will surely lead to loss of people's hearts and low morale. But our Qi people guarding their homes and defending the country is the righteousness. Everyone should be brave. I use the state of righteousness to fight the injustice. Country, why worry about it?"

"Not to mention, I once found out the details of the Qin generals in the Xianyang Palace. This time, no matter who is the general of the Qin army, I, Tian Chong, are not afraid."

At the end of Tian Chong's speech, he was already in high spirits and high spirits.

Affected by Da Sima's arrogance, Qi Wangjian, Xiangbang Tianjia, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, who were still a little afraid, also cheered up.

Yes, their Qi State is not comparable to the Chu State that was beaten and maimed in the past.

The Qi State has a vast terrain, with the benefits of fish and salt, and rich products.

There is money, food, and people.

So what about Qin's 200,000 troops?

They Qi State can recruit 300,000 troops!

300,000 hits you with 200,000, still can't you win?

Not to mention the leading general of the Qi State, Da Sima, who was the number one general of the Qi State. Although he suffered a small loss at the hands of Qin General Zhao Tuo, it was only because Zhao Tuo didn't talk about martial arts and used sneak attack tactics.

In terms of ability, Da Sima was an invincible man in the Qin Palace.

Listening to the analysis made by Da Sima Whip, Qi Wangjian's confidence soared when he thought of the elite soldiers he had seen on the school field before.

In front of the court officials, he smiled and gave orders.

"What Da Sima said is right. Our country of Qi has a vast land and rich resources, and our army is strong and strong, so why should we be afraid of the people of Qin? This time, Da Sima will be in charge of all matters related to the fight against Qin, and will call in an army of 300,000 to resist the people of Qin!"

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty, I will let the Qin people who dare to step into my Qi land come and go!"

Da Sima Tian rushed to accept the order.

He turned his head to look west, his eyes were like torches.

It would be great if the main general of the Qin army in this battle was Zhao Tuo.

In that case, he, Grand Sima of the State of Qi, would really be able to avenge his shame.

...

"The 100,000 troops of the Qi State have already set up defenses on the front lines of Zhencheng and Ayi, and the country is still recruiting soldiers. Do you want to call up 300,000 troops?"

It is located in the camp of the Qin Army outside Puyang City.

This time, the main general Zhao Tuo and his deputy Tu Sui, who were in charge of attacking Qi, received intelligence from the people of Qin who were lurking inside Qi.

"It seems that these Qi people are not fools."

Tu Sui chuckled.

In the name of conquering Liaodong, Qin State secretly dispatched grain and fodder, and recruited an army of 200,000, in order to catch Qi State by surprise and gain a strategic advantage.

The preparations in the early stage did deceive the Qi people, but when a large number of Qin troops began to mobilize to Dongjun, it still exposed Qin's purpose.

The 100,000 Qi troops who were originally stationed in the west of Qi State immediately set up defenses in Zhencheng and Ayi under the order of Da Sima, and put them on the defensive.

At the same time, Qi State also began to recruit a large number of troops in preparation for the attack of the Qin army.

However, all of this was originally expected by Qin Jun.

The Qin army has already gained a huge time advantage. Qi's conscription in a state of emergency has no time to train soldiers at all. Even if 300,000 Qi troops are really recruited, the combat effectiveness can be imagined.

However, the lion and the rabbit also need to work hard.

Zhao Tuo knew this truth very well, and now it was the last battle of unification, which was of great significance. He dared not be careless, and immediately summoned all the generals to formally start discussing the strategy of destroying Qi.

"Although there are 100,000 Qi troops on the line between Zhencheng and Ayi, the Qi people are weak. If our army advances like a tiger, it will be like a knife cutting dead wood all the way. Before the rest of his army can gather, we will go straight to Linzi. !"

Lieutenant General Tu Sui spoke first, with a loud voice.

"What General Tu said is that we should fight all the way to Linzi before the Qi army is assembled, break through the city quickly, and arrest the old man King Qi, so that Qi can be settled in one battle!"

Zhonglimei, Heiyu, Xiqigu and other generals all held this opinion, and even Shejian nodded accordingly.

"Lightning tactics."

Zhao Tuo secretly said in his heart that Tu Sui's point of view is to take Linzi with great speed, capture King Jian of Qi, and then slowly surrender or conquer the rest of Qi.

This tactic was supported by most generals.

But in the military discussion, there are also other voices.

Li Shiqi, General Zhao's staff member, spoke up.

He laughed and said: "The strategy of quick attack can really catch the Qi country by surprise, and it is very possible for our army to hit the vicinity of Linzi. But in my opinion, although the quick attack can make achievements as soon as possible, it can't eliminate the main force of Qi country, and it can't align people. Carry out real deterrence. Once our army is unable to break through Qidu quickly, we will surely stop our troops under the city of Linzi, and then we will be besieged by reinforcements from all over Qi."

"Siege? That's even better, just like General Wang's attack on Liang in the past, besieging his capital and destroying his army. Let's fight one by one!"

Heiyu laughed loudly, Xiqigu, Bai Rong and others nodded along.

Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and used a blitzkrieg style of play. If Linzi really couldn't be taken quickly, then he could really follow Wang Ben's siege of Daliang and turn it into a siege to fight for aid.

"You have never been to Linzi, the capital of Qi, so naturally you don't know its situation. I just happened to go to see it."

Li Shiqi smiled and glanced at everyone present.

Those eyes fell on Heihip and the others, as if they were asking silent questions.

Have you ever been to Linzi?

Li Shiqi smiled lightly and said, "Linzi is a great city in the world!"

"It has been hundreds of years since Qi State with the surname of Jiang established its capital here, and it has been hundreds of years since the State of Qi with the surname of Gui has strong walls and strong defenses. The skirt becomes a curtain, the sleeves are raised to form a curtain, and sweat becomes rain."

"As Suzi said in the past: Among Linzi, there are 70,000 households of Qi people, and three male households, 37,210,000, not waiting to be sent to Yuan County, but the death of Linzi is 210,000! "

"Such a large number of guards surpasses the former Liang Liang, and is even more comparable to the number of our Qin army. Although the people of Qi have not experienced battle, they will all fight bravely when the country is destroyed."

"Let me ask, with 200,000 soldiers, occupy the world and fortify the city for reinforcements? Do you really think that our army can break Linzi quickly?"

"In the past, the general Wang was able to break the beam and defeat the Wei army who came to help. It was with the help of the power of the great river that the Wei army in the beam was trapped in the city. Therefore, there is no need to face internal and external attacks, and only need to deal with the reinforcements."

"But now, our army does not have a big river to help us. Linzi is stronger than Daliang, the number of soldiers in the city is more than Daliang, and the number of Qi troops rescued from various places is also more than that of Wei army!"

"Although the Qi army has never experienced war, it was no match for my Qin army at the beginning, but if the war drags on for a long time, the Qi army will grow from rookies to old soldiers. Qi's land is two thousand miles away, and there will be good generals. At that time , wouldn't it be more difficult to destroy Qi?"

Li Shiqi's voice was high and his words were clear. He glanced at the generals in the tent and said calmly: "What's more, if we take the strategy of attacking Linzi by force, even if our army wins Qi in the end, it will definitely suffer heavy losses and take a long time." How can this give the great king a glorious end to his unification of the world? How can you forcefully apply the previous trend of destroying Wei to the destruction of Qi? Isn't this the Chu people who used to be eager to seek swords?"

There was silence in the tent, and even Tu Sui, who advocated a blitzkrieg, frowned.

Li Shiqi presented the data and reasoned, telling and analyzing the situation of Linzi city and Qi country one by one, which really made everyone feel a little bit of pressure.

The city wall of Linzi is strong, and there are so many people in the city, it seems that it is really difficult to fight.

And as Li Shiqi said, the disadvantage of the Qi army is that its soldiers have no combat experience. Once the time is prolonged, those Qi people will grow up from the flames of war, and new soldiers will become old soldiers.

On the main seat, Zhao Tuo took in all the faces of the generals in the tent, and looked at Li Shiqi who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help secretly praising him.

This Li Sheng has such a mouth.

But Zhao Tuo knew very well that he only listened to half of what the strategist said.

Exaggeration and ostentation are their characteristics.

The reason why Li Shiqi suppressed the generals with his tongue in this tent was probably because of other calculations.

Zhao Tuo said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I wonder if Mr. Qi has a plan to destroy Qi?"

"Warring States Policy Qi Policy 1": Among the 70,000 households in Linzi, the ministers stole them, and the three men from the households, 37,210,000, did not wait to be sent to Yuan County, and the death of Linzi was 210,000. carry on.
