Chapter 63 Lord Mengchang's anger, Zhao He's entanglement
Qi State, Linzi Royal Palace.
In the main hall, a meeting with a somewhat intense atmosphere was taking place.
Mengchangjun Tian Wenzheng made a generous speech: "King, Han and Wei are allies of the Great Qi, but Zhao has now sent troops to attack Han Shangdang, completely disregarding the alliance between Qi and South Korea. I think that Zhao must be punished, otherwise the face of the Great Qi will not be there!"
Mengchangjun's words made the ministers of Qi present nodded repeatedly and agreed.
"What Mengchangjun said is very true."
"King, you must let Zhao State know how powerful Da Qi is!"
"King, if you do not punish Zhao, the power of the overlord of the Great Qi world will be lost!"
King Qi raised his hand and pressed it for a moment, and everyone suddenly became quiet.
The King of Qi spoke in a deep voice: "What the two and three sons said is in line with my heart. This Zhao master's father is so arrogant. Taking advantage of the new defeat of Han and Wei countries to attack Shangdang, he simply despised me and the Great Qi as if nothing had happened! I have decided to mobilize a large army to attack Zhao from now on!"
The King of Qi also has his own considerations.
Before, it was Mengchangjun Tian Wen's idea to help Han and Wei fight Qin. Although Qin was suppressed, Qi also consumed a lot, and all the benefits were taken to Han and Wei.
Therefore, the King of Qi rejected Mengchangjun's proposal to continue to support Han and Wei and confront Qin.
But now Zhao State sends troops, that's different.
Zhao and Qi were close to each other. After defeating Zhao, Qi could exert the power of the overlord, and at the same time he could also seize some cities and towns of Zhao and expand territory.
This is what the King of Qi likes to hear.
As soon as the King of Qi decided to come out, many ministers of Qi naturally responded to the promise and shouted that the king was wise.
Mengchangjun Tian Wen turned his eyes and said, "King, I am willing to lead the troops to attack Zhao!"
Mengchangjun volunteered.
The King of Qi looked at Mengchangjun, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Mengchangjun is my humerus. If Mengchangjun is not there, I will be uneasy! Let's do this, let's take Grand Sima Kuangzhang as the main general and lead 150,000 troops to attack Zhao! Mengchangjun is responsible for Linzi and takes charge of the overall situation!"
After the King of Qi finished speaking, many ministers of Qi were shocked. Many active-minded people's eyes fell on Mengchangjun's face, with a strange expression.
Kuang Zhang was indeed the number one general of Qi, but Mengchangjun was the boss of Qi Prime Minister and Kuang Zhang.
Now Mengchangjun takes the initiative to apply to lead the troops but is rejected by the King of Qi. Obviously, this is very unusual.
Meng Changjun's face was blue and white, her lips were tightly pursed, and she didn't say anything, so she sat down directly.
On the other side, a gray-haired old general responded: "My minister Kuang Zhang received the order!"
After the court discussion, Mengchangjun, who returned to the mansion, was furious in front of several confidants.
"King, this is a determined intention to isolate this marquis! Humph, he didn't think about who had worked hard for Qi for so many years to push Qi's hegemony to the present level!"
Mengchangjun was really angry and cursed.
Several Mengchangjun's confidants looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Doctor Tian Jia recalled Su Qin's words a few days ago and felt a little moved in his heart, saying, "Your Majesty, it's time to take some measures!"
Mengchangjun was stunned when he heard this and looked at Tian Jia: "What are you doing?"
Tian Jia coughed and whispered: "Mr. Mencius said that if the king treats his ministers as his hands and feet, then the ministers will regard the king as their hearts; if the king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then the ministers will regard the king as their countrymen; if the king treats his ministers as earth, then the ministers will regard the king as enemies.
Since the king is so oppressing the king and making it ugly in public, then the king might as well take the lead so that he can protect himself!”
quiet!
Absolutely quiet!
Mengchangjun looked at Tian Jia calmly, and after a while, he suddenly shouted: "Tian Jia, can you, this fool, want to trap this lord injustice!"
Tian Jia knelt down with a thud and snatched the ground with his head: "Host, if you continue to tolerate this, let alone be the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who
Several other confidants of Mengchangjun also recovered from their stunned state at this time and echoed: "Yes, you, you can't sit still and wait for death!"
"Your Majesty, it's the king who doesn't give us a chance, it's not that we are not loyal to the king!"
Mengchangjun looked at the confidant in front of him and fell into deep thought, and said nothing for a long time.
Eight days later, 150,000 Qi troops set sail from Linzi and rushed to Handan.
At this point, among the seven major warring countries, except for the Yan State in the north and Chu State in the south, they were all involved in this war!
Handan, royal palace.
"King, king, things are not good, the people of Qi have sent troops!" Fei Yi hurried to the side hall of Longtai to report the news.
Zhao He looked calm and said to Fei Yi: "Didn't Fei Xiang hear Su Qin's words? Don't be nervous, let the border mobilize and defend for a while, the Qi people will not be able to fight from Handan."
Fei Yi frowned and said, "King, even though that is the case, Su Qin is a spy. He should not trust his words."
Zhao He smiled and said, "Not bad. If it is expected, it will be the time for Tian Jia and others to attack when the Qi State's summer festival."
Fei Yi was a little worried, but he left.
Three days later, Fei Yi came again: "King, Kuang Zhang has led his army to Hejian and is ready to cross the river!"
The Yellow River was divided into two tributaries in the lower reaches of this era. In addition to the seven large and small rivers in this basin, the basin covered is called Hejiandi.
At this time, most of the Hejian land was controlled by Qi State, and it was also the border between Zhao and Qi.
Zhao He was still calm: "It's okay to recruit troops and prepare for defense, mainly procrastination."
In two days, Fei Yi arrived again: "King, the Qi army has crossed the river and occupied the Dune Palace!"
Zhao He coughed slightly and said, "It's okay, keep waiting! Let the frontline soldiers delay Qi Jun's pace as much as possible. Once they lose, there is no need to fight to the death. Retreat immediately!"
Three days later, Fei Yi was really anxious this time: "King, the Qi army has broken through our defense line and arrived in Julu!"
When you arrive in Julu, it is only one day away from Handan.
At this moment, Zhao He couldn't calm down anymore. His hand holding the memorial trembled slightly, but he still seemed calm on the surface.
Fei Yi spoke earnestly and said in a deep voice: "King, now, we must ask the Lord Father to return to the army to rescue him. Otherwise, the more than 40,000 people in Handan City alone would not last much time!"
Zhao He frowned and said nothing.
It has been five or six days since the summer festival in Qi State.
If Xia Ji was in chaos, then the commander of Qi army, Kuang Zhang, should receive the message and choose to withdraw his troops.
Could it be that something happened because of Su Qin's absence?
Fei Yi said seriously: "King, what Su Qin said is not true or false. If what Su Qin said is just to deceive the king, what is the real goal is to break Handan? King, you must be careful."
After Fei Yi's statement, Zhao He was also slightly upset.
Due to the Qi and Zhao War, the intelligence transmission between Linzi City and Handan City was temporarily cut off. Zhao He now doesn't know what the situation is in Linzi.
what to do?
