General Qin

"The gathering of 300,000 newly recruited soldiers from the Qi State is just the time for our army to defeat them in the first battle and surrender them with the threat of victory. We must not give the opponent a chance to train and rectify."

In the tent of the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, Li Shiqi, the counselor, was beaming with joy and offered advice.

Lieutenant General Tu Sui laughed and said: "That's right, we have been waiting for almost two months, from winter to spring, and we can't wait any longer. Now that the weather is getting warmer, the soldiers are full of energy, and they are about to fight hard." yes."

"Of course, after defeating the 300,000 Qi army, Nai Gong will definitely be promoted this time!"

All the generals were excited, all of them showed joy, and their eyes all fell on General Zhao, who was in charge.

Seeing that the generals were full of fighting spirit, Zhao Tuo would not refuse.

He looked at Li Shiqi and said: "In that case, please enter the Qi camp and tell Da Sima. He said that my Qin army has kept its promise and waited for Qi to gather an army. Now wait for Da Sima to come with me according to the agreement. A battle of gentlemen."

At this time, some generals worried: "If the chief Sima does not agree to fight with me, what should we do?"

The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth hooked slightly.

Li Shiqi laughed and replied on his behalf: "Don't worry, that Da Sima will definitely do as promised. If he doesn't agree, then he is not Da Sima."

Black Butt also laughed and said: "No? If you don't agree, there will be another night attack. Anyway, the 300,000 Qi army has arrived, and the next initiative is in our hands!"

...

Outside Zhencheng, there is a magnificent tent.

On the couch, Da Sima Tianchong was playing chess on the small table in front of him.

One side of white chess represents the Qi army, and one side of black chess represents the Qin army.

Tian Chong talked eloquently, talking endlessly about the situation of the military struggle, while holding chess with both hands, fighting each other, and constantly simulating possible situations on the battlefield.

After a long time, Tian Chong put down the chess pieces.

He reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a sharp smile to the husband in front of him, "I have predicted the possible tactics of the Qin army in this battle, no matter which method Zhao Tuo chooses to fight our army , I have a countermeasure, how does Mr. Xiangfu feel?"

Xiangfu Ji is Qi Mo's younger brother, who has always been good at verbal warfare, and he is also a guy who likes to brag.

Seeing that Da Sima was eloquent and eloquent, he believed it for a while, and then looked at the black chess pieces that had been killed to pieces on the case. With such a general commanding the troops, why worry about winning this battle, what is the mere 200,000 Qin troops?"

Being slapped by this flattery, Tian Chong laughed loudly and said: "Speaking of which, this is also the time for Zhao Tuo to keep his promise and give us Qi to gather an army. Otherwise, if there is no army of 300,000 and only 100,000, I will still It's really not Zhao Tuo's opponent. After all, Zhao Tuo's art of war is also very powerful, only a little weaker than me."

At this moment, Zou Yang, a close friend of Da Sima, came to report outside the account.

"Great Sima, Li Shiqi, the envoy of the Qin Army, is asking to see you."

"messenger?"

Tian Chong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems that Zhao Tuo can't wait any longer. But Li Shiqi's name sounds familiar, is it the emissary from last time?"

Zou Yang said embarrassingly: "Da Sima, that's the man before. At that time, Da Sima sent his servants to welcome him into the camp and threatened him with the strongest soldiers in the army."

Tian Chong nodded and said: "Since you went to greet him last time, you should go this time, but this time you take him through the camp of the old and the weak, don't let him see my strong army. In addition, let someone call the generals, I received the envoy in the big tent."

Zou Yang was stunned for a moment, and bowed his hands in agreement.

After Zou Yang left, Xiangfu stroked his long beard under his chin quickly, and said, "Isn't Da Sima trying to show the enemy's weakness this time, to show the Qin people's heart?"

Tian Chong laughed and said: "Of course, I trained ten thousand elite soldiers in Linzi with ancient methods, and even thousands of fighters. All of them can count as ten. They are my elite. Even the king and Xiangbang praised him Endless."

"Such elite is the key to our army's victory this time. I first let the Qin army think that our Qi people are old and weak, and the Qin people must be arrogant and lazy. When the two sides battle, I will attack their flanks with surprise troops. From the rear, we can catch Zhao Tuo by surprise, maybe even defeat the Chinese army, and capture Zhao Tuo on the spot, ha ha."

...

Outside the Qi army camp.

Li Shiqi, the envoy of the State of Qin, raised his eyes and looked around. As the eyeballs rolled, he kept taking the information of Qi Ying into his heart.

After a while, a person came out from the whole camp.

He cupped his hands to Li Shiqi and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Li is still handsome."

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Zou, what a coincidence."

Li Shiqi laughed. The two had met before, and after talking, they walked into the barracks hand in hand.

Along the way, Li Shiqi noticed that the Qi army's camps were very chaotic, some camps were close to each other, and some camps were far away. The ravines between different camps were dug in a mess, and the soldiers were all yelling in their respective camps. They looked like a mixed bag of young and old, their clothes were not neat, and all kinds of incomprehensible Qi dialects kept pouring into Li Shiqi's ears drill.

Li Shiqi watched silently, thoughtful in his heart, but said nothing, and followed Zou Yang to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Only then did his eyelids twitch slightly.

In the last battle of Zhencheng, Da Sima Tianchong ordered the army to station outside the city, and he lived in a mansion in the city, out of touch with the army.

Now they are setting up tents in the barracks, which is an improvement compared to before.

"Sir, please enter the account."

Zou Yang smiled and stretched out his hand.

Li Shiqi cupped his hands and walked in.

In the commander's tent, the senior generals of the Qi army were already sitting on both sides, and Xiang Fuji, who was the strategist and lobbyist of the Qi army, was also sitting under the head of Da Sima, his eyes all fell on the envoys of the Qin people who entered the tent.

"Qin envoy Li Shiqi has seen Da Sima's feet."

Li Shiqi raised his head and chest, and bowed his hands to Da Sima who was sitting in the main seat in the tent.

Tian Chong frowned.

He still remembered that before the last battle of Zhencheng, the Qin envoy came to visit him, but he was lying on the ground with an extremely humble appearance.

Now that his posture has changed drastically, he looks very flamboyant. This means that he no longer takes Da Sima seriously.

Tian Chong looked unhappy and said: "The messenger is here, why is it?"

Li Shiqi smiled slightly, and raised his voice, "I know that Da Sima knows that I am here this time under the order of my general to ask Da Sima to fulfill the agreement of the past. The Qin and Qi armies will fight a gentleman battle."

Fulfilling the agreement, the battle of gentlemen?

Da Sima Tianchong thought of two months ago, when the Qin and Qi countries went to war, and Zhao Tuo held heavy troops, but instead of taking the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, he wrote a letter of relief, and said that he was willing to wait for his Tian Chong to gather the Qi army before the two sides made an agreement. Time and place, for an aboveboard battle.

Zhao Tuo not only said it, but actually did it.

Zhao Tuo is really a gentleman.

Thinking of this, a warm current flowed through Tian Chong's heart.

He nodded and said, "It's my wish to fight a gentleman's battle with General Zhao."

Li Shiqi said with a smile: "Since that's the case, the time for this battle is determined by our Qin army, is it okay?"

Hearing this, the expressions of all the generals in the tent changed.

The battle time is determined by the Qin army, which is a disadvantage for them.

Tian Dan immediately said: "The envoy's words are different, since it is an appointment to fight. When both parties agree on a time to fight, can one side decide?"

Li Shiqi turned his smile into anger, and scolded: "What an unreasonable Qi man, two months ago, our Qin army had 200,000 troops gathered in Dongjun, and the Qi army was only 100,000. If our army attacked at that time , when you defeated your army in the first battle and took Linzi directly, how could you have a place to bargain here?"

"Wow! My general has faith in the world and gave you Qi people two months to recruit the army. Let me ask you, since ancient times, has such a thing happened?"

Li Shiqi let out a long sigh, and then angrily yelled at the Qi people in the tent: "You have taken such a big advantage, and today you are not even willing to agree to our army's coming to set a time. Qi people, you can see the shame and faith!"

There was silence among the tents, and even Xiang Fuji, who wanted to retaliate, also fell silent.

It is a fact that the Qin army took full advantage and did not attack, and gave them two months to prepare, and no one can refute it.

In today's world of great conflict, intrigues and night raids are commonplace on the battlefield, and there is no need to agree on a time when one party fights the other.

Qin general Zhao Tuo not only gave them time to prepare, but also did not resort to surprise attacks, but was willing to fight a gentleman's battle in an upright manner. On the battlefield of this era, this kind of behavior can be regarded as a moral model.

Now that Li Shiqi proposed that the Qin army should set the time, it was reasonable and reasonable. If they blocked it, it would be really dishonest.

"Okay, let General Zhao set the time, and when he says it will be!"

Tian Chong's face turned red when he was told, and he agreed on the spot.

Li Shiqi then turned angry and smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Great Sima is really a gentleman. When I came here this time, my general had already set a time, so we made an appointment at this time, how about it?"

"Can."

Tian Chong nodded.

Li Shiqi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, the time is set to be five days later. My general and Da Sima will fight a dignified battle between Zhencheng and the wilderness."

"Five days?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Jiang Tian Dan's face changed drastically.

Standing up recklessly, he shouted to Da Sima, "Da Sima, five days is too short to promise."

During this period of time, Tian Dan often visited the camp, so he had some understanding of the state of the Qi army.

He knew that these 300,000 people had just been recruited, not only because of frequent private fights, but most of them had never been soldiers, and they couldn't even stand in the most basic formation, let alone the golden drum banner. , it takes a while to train.

Five days is obviously too short.

Of course, Tian Dan's observations are limited to this, after all, he has never been on the battlefield, and it is also difficult for him to see through the deeper problems of the Qi army.

His experience was taught by Da Sima Tianchong.

Da Sima Tianchong frowned, hesitating a little.

He once trained 10,000 soldiers in Linzi to practice formation, and he also knew that five days was not enough to train an army.

Li Shiqi's face darkened immediately when he saw General Qi objecting in the tent, but he was a smart man, so he didn't refute the General Qi who spoke to dissuade him, but turned to face Da Sima.

"Big Sima, do you know how much my General Zhao has suffered in order to fight this gentleman's war with you?"

Li Shiqi raised his voice and said: "Two months ago, General Tu, the deputy general of the Qin Army, said in the military meeting that he would attack the Qi army with the power of thunder, and then go straight to Linzi and win the victory of destroying Qi. All the generals opened their mouths." He agreed. Only General Zhao thought about his friendship with Da Sima, and tried his best to suppress it, which caused dissatisfaction among the generals."

"General Zhao stationed troops in Dongjun for two months, countless people in the army complained, and countless people in the world questioned. Even in Xianyang City, there were some young people who wanted to frame my general with slander."

"What a grievance! What pressure! My general endured it all. What is this for?"

"It's for you!"

"For you Tian Da Sima!"

Li Shiqi showed grief on his face, and sighed: "My general regards Da Sima as his confidant. It is often said that in the battle of Zhencheng in the past, he won the battle with deceit, which was the injustice of the world, and he always felt guilty in his heart."

"Especially when we left Xianyang, Da Sima taught him the way of being upright and upright, and my general remembered it in his heart, so this time, under the pressure of everyone in the world, he delayed for two months until Da Sima summoned the soldiers, and then came to the gentleman. war!"

"Now, I have nothing to hide."

The grief on Li Shiqi's face became heavier, and his voice became more mournful.

"Why does my general set a five-day time limit? It's not that he doesn't want to leave time for Da Sima to train the army, but because the generals in the army have long been dissatisfied, and General Tu even threatened to sue King Xianyang!"

"At that time, I'm afraid Da Sima wants to fight a gentleman's battle with my general again, and I'm afraid..."

"Stop it! I promise!"

Tian Chong yelled, his eyes were blurred, and his face was already red and hot.

In his mind, the appearance of a boy appeared.

Zhao Tuo actually did so much for Tian Chong.

Touched, guilty, kept churning in my heart.

"I promise!"

"Five days later, I, Tian Chongdang, and Zhao Tuo will fight an upright battle of gentlemen!"

The latest update time is disordered and very disturbing. I will try to adjust the time tomorrow.
