In the territory of Qi, Zhuge Liang's army successively defeated three cities of Qi and marched towards the important town of Qi.

Lixia is the key military base of Qi, with mountains to the south and Yellow River to the north, with narrow and narrow east and west.

If you want to attack Linzi, the main city of Qi, you must break through Lixia.

During the Chu-Han war, Han Xin was ordered to attack Qi, and the main force of Qi gathered in the Lixia to block Han Xin's military attack. Later, Liu Bang sent a lobbyist Li Shiqi to lobby King Qi. The King of Qi removed the troops and prepared for combat in Lixia and drank with Li Shiqi every day, but was attacked by Han Xin.

If Zhuge Liang's army wants to annex Qi, it must take down the Lixia.

Sima Rangju, a military general of Qi State, stationed 150,000 troops to block Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang's Xia army and Fan Zeng's Chu army attacked Qi from two directions. Qi was forced to divide his troops into two groups to meet the enemy, leaving a heavy army to defend the main city.

Sima Rangju was a famous general of Qi, but unfortunately, the lord of Qi, King Wei of Qi, had to borrow troops from other Shandong vassal states.

After being defeated by Nurhaci, the lord of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian retreated to Shandong and captured a piece of territory. In addition, King Wei of Qi and Zhu Youjian had a good relationship, so Zhu Youjian sent a group of troops to help King Wei of Qi resist the enemy.

Zhu Youjian still knows this truth if his lips are lost and his teeth are cold.

If Qi State was destroyed, Ming State would not be able to withstand the two armies.

Several other small vassal states also sent troops to support King Wei of Qi.

A Ming army entered the Lixia camp. This Ming army soldier held a white wooden spear, equipped with a hook with a blade on the top and a hard iron ring on the bottom, full of murderous aura.

The general who commanded the Ming army was a female general wearing a Shu brocade robe, and her weapon was also a white gun.

Sima Rangju personally led the camp to welcome reinforcements from the Shandong vassal states.

"Why is a female general?"

"Zhu Youjian is not very interesting. Our King Wei of Qi once gave him kindness. He actually sent only one female general to support us, and the number of Ming troops was less than 30,000."

"No, Zhu Youjian is resisting the Chu army in the east with the king, and there is no sufficient force in his hands. In addition, it is said that this female general and her white-rod soldiers are good at mountain battles."

The military generals of Qi State were generally dissatisfied with Zhu Youjian, the Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and believed that 30,000 Ming troops were just a drop in the bucket.

"I will follow the holy order and help you defend your life, and I will do my best!"

The Ming army general Qin Liangyu held his fists and respected Sima Rangju very much.

Sima Rangju was a famous general of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. He wrote "Sima's Art of War" and "Sun Wu's Art of War" in the same era.

Qin Liangyu of the Ming Dynasty had heard of Sima Rangju's reputation, but there were too few records about Sima Rangju, and Sima's military tactics were seriously lost and they were not fully passed down.

But Sima Rangju helped Qi defeat Jin and Yan and recover lost territory, and his ability was beyond doubt.

King Wei of Qi in this world was able to rebuild Qi State and establish dozens of cities, which was related to the reuse of Sima Rangju.

"Your aura is not weak. Since Zhu Youjian asked you to bring troops to support the calendar, it means that your ability is not bad. Can you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Sima Rangju could feel Qin Liangyu and her white-rod soldiers, with a fierce momentum, and he had a bloody look from his bones, and knew that he could be reused.

Qin Liangyu replied: "The general led his troops to the Lixia, clearing the strong walls of the wilderness. I can lead my troops to copy the small roads in the mountains and breaking the enemy's food routes and win."

"Your thoughts are not without reason. It's just that the other party is comparing himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi's Zhuge Liang, who must be heavily guarding the food industry, and this plan is a bit dangerous."

Sima Rangju once fought with Zhu Wen, who established the Later Liang Dynasty. He could not get much benefit when facing many generals under Zhu Wen, especially Wang Yanzhang, Ge Congzhou, Yang Shihou, Liu Xiu and others.

However, Zhuge Liang's army destroyed the Liang State, and most of the Liang army generals surrendered, which shows that Zhuge Liang's army is quite powerful.

In addition, the joining of the Xia army by the military generals of the Later Liang meant that Zhuge Liang had absorbed a group of military generals from the Later Liang Dynasty and his troops were even stronger.

Both Zhuge Liang and Fan Zeng were trying to annex Qi land, collect the troops of Qi, and then attack each other.

"Zhuge Liang..."

Qin Liangyu was also a little afraid of this name.

Qin Liangyu naturally knew that Prime Minister Zhuge of the Three Kingdoms, especially Qin Liangyu was also a general from Bashu.

However, supporting King Wei of Qi was the order of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, and Qin Liangyu would only loyally fulfill the military order.

Zhu Youjian wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a comeback and rebuild the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian also has several powerful military generals under him, and Qin Liangyu is one of them.

"The Xia army is full of power. We can use the long and narrow mountain roads from east to west to face the Xia army, making it impossible for them to expand their military strength."

"The white-rod soldiers were ambushing in the mountains and forests. When they saw wolf smoke, the ambushing soldiers came out everywhere, cutting off the Xia army, so that their heads and tails could not be looked at each other."

Sima Rangju used the terrain of mountains, rivers and rivers to start the pre-war layout.

Zhuge Liang's army entered Qi and marched along the Yellow River. To the south were mountains and to the north were Yellow River. The passage between the two was narrow and long. Sima Rangju was at a disadvantage in military strength and had to use the terrain.

It just so happened that the reinforcements sent by Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian were Baigang soldiers who were good at mountain terrain combat, which was exactly what Sima Rangju expected.

“So very good.”

Qin Liangyu agreed to Sima Rangju's layout, and then ordered the Bai Gan soldiers to go down and rest, to accumulate strength, and to wait for the bloody battle with Zhuge Liang's army that led to the Qi State on the mountain road near Lixia.

The Qi army guarded the key traffic passes and had the dangers of mountains and rivers, so they would not give up these dangerous places so easily.

Qi became the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. They were strong for hundreds of years, which has a lot to do with their geographical location and population.

"Qi State is located east of the sea, and can cook the sea as salt, and it has the benefits of fish and salt. There are also hills, rivers, Yellow River, and East China Sea as natural barriers, with the dangers of mountains and rivers, so it is strong..."

During the march, Zhuge Liang lamented the advantages brought by the special terrain of Qi.

"Mr. Zhuge, the Jinyi Guard secretly reported that Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty dispatched 30,000 troops to support Sima Rangju. The main general was Qin Liangyu, a white-gan soldier!"

Zhuge Liang was still on the way and had already received news of the other party's dispatch of troops in advance.

"Who is Qin Liangyu?"

Zhuge Liang did not know Qin Liangyu, but he had heard that Bai Gan Bing was a high-level mountain spearman.

Zhuge Liang has Wang Ping, and Meng Huo’s Wudang Flying Army is available. He is not afraid of Qin Liangyu’s white-rod soldiers, but Zhuge Liang still needs to pay attention to Qin Liangyu.

The Jinyiwei replied: "It is said that when the Qi army and the Ming army fought with the Chu army, Qin Liangyu's white-rod soldiers attacked Fan Zeng's original formation and defeated Ji Bu's mountain army, and almost succeeded. Please be careful by Lord Zhuge."

"Well, it seems that these battles in history cannot be taken lightly..."

Zhuge Liang realized that Qin Liangyu didn't seem to be that simple to deal with.
