Chapter 25 25
Following.
After the enthronement ceremony, Qi Xiaobai began to go to court for the first time, and he sat in the main hall of the Qi Palace, looking at the ministers.
After the enthronement ceremony, basically the ministers and generals returned to their places and performed their duties, leaving only a few important generals and officials.
In front of Qi Xiaobai, it was 'Wang Yi', the former commander of the palace guards of the King of Qi, who knelt on the ground and waited for Qi Xiaobai's fate.
"As the chief officer of the escort team, it is your major dereliction of duty to fail to protect Qi Xianggong!" Qi Xiaobai said lightly.
"Damn it!" Wang Yi said in a low voice.
"Remembering your meritorious service in resisting the Vietnamese army, I won't kill you, the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is inescapable, revoke your rank in the Chinese army, and you will be the captain of my guard in the future!" Qi Xiaobai said to Wang Yi.
When Wang Yi heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai is the time to employ people at this time, he is different from Qi Zhu and Qi Jiu, he has run his own faction for many years, and there are many people around him, he Qi Xiaobai has just debuted with a Guan Zhong by his side, Tian Dan and Wei Dexian.
So Qi Xiaobai now has to attract talents and use them for himself!
Originally, after Qi Xiaobai ascended the throne, he wanted to take the people of Qi Zhu's faction to carry out a big knife and purge, but after discussing with Guan Zhong, he chose to first win over those old Qi Zhu departments for Qi Xiaobai's use.
Qi Zhu has just died, they are all frightened now, and it is also the best time to win over, of course, those who want to be loyal to Qi Zhu, Qi Xiaobai will not be soft, as they wish.
"Shangguo Zhu Yue is coming, what do you mean by not moving in Qingzhou?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Sun Bin who was standing in the first row and asked.
"This time, the Vietnamese army began to dispatch only 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Jiang Bi Lao Jiang Jun has 60,000 elites, and Jiaodong Hou also went to support, and there are Taishan fortifications, I think these resists against the Vietnamese army is enough, I didn't expect the Vietnamese army to kill the camp mound, this is a dereliction of duty!" Sun Bin clenched his fists and bowed to Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai waved his hand: "Forget it, I don't blame you, after all, it takes a lot of time for your Qingzhou army to assemble, this Yue country is a sneak attack, I'm afraid that after you are assembled, the war is over, and your 50,000 elites in Ludong still have to defend against Haikou!" ”
"My Sun Bin is willing to show his loyalty and lead the army into the country of Yue!" Sun Bin said to Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai was stunned, and Guan Zhong was also stunned, the two of them didn't expect that this elite Sun Bin planned to take the initiative to march into the Yue Kingdom.
"After the Yue State destroyed the Wu State and defeated the Jiaodong State, he competed with the Chu State again, and now when the power of my Qi State is alternated, he attacked my country secretly, and the ambition of the Yue State is getting bigger and bigger, and the minister Jue took this opportunity to raid the Yue State to extinguish his arrogance, and it happened to avenge the Duke of Qi Xiang." Sun Bin said to Qi Xiaobai.
Guan Zhong on the side looked at Sun Bin: "Then can the general be sure to destroy the Yue Kingdom?" ”
"Zhongjun, how easy is it to destroy the Yue Kingdom? The annexation of the State of Wu by the State of Yue and the invasion of many places in the State of Jiaodong, and the implementation of the policy of integration of military and agriculture, the army remained as much as one million, with all due respect, even if all the troops of the State of Qi were dispatched, I am afraid that the State of Yue would not be able to be destroyed! Sun Bin said to Guan Zhong.
"However, under the tutelage of Mr. Guigu, proficient in the art of war, strategic techniques, specializing in formations, defeating the Yue country, weakening the national strength of the Yue country, it can still be done in the next!" Sun Bin said to Guan Zhong.
"Since you want to attack, then you have to kill with one blow, so that the other party will never have a day to turn over!" Guan Zhong said lightly.
"Listen to Zhongjun? Can Zhong Jun be sure to destroy the Yue Kingdom? Sun Bin was stunned and looked at Guan Zhong.
"Absolutely sure!" Guan Zhong clenched his fists and said very confidently.
"Can you tell me about Zhongjun's clever plan?" Sun Bin asked.
"Don't say yet, before the time comes, the Shangguo Pillar will know when the time comes!" Guan Zhong said to Sun Bin.
"It's just that Shangguozhu has to stay in Yingqiu in the past few months, and when the time comes, I hope Shangguozhu won't shirk it!" Guan Zhong looked at Sun Bin and said.
"There is no problem, at that time, Duke Huan will give an order, and my grandson Bin is willing to go to the soup fire for this!" After Sun Bin finished speaking, he stepped back.
Then it was Zhang Heng who stood up, the commander of the Lubei Army, and Qi Xiaobai already knew about Zhang Heng's killing of the former commander, and Qi Xiaobai did not plan to pursue it, because this Zhang Heng came to take refuge in him.
"General Zhang, I hope you will mobilize your 50,000 Lubei legions! And can the handsome seal of the Lubei Army be handed over? Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Heng and said.
The standing army of northern Lu is the army that defends the Northern Yan, since the founding of the Qi State, the biggest enemy is the Northern Yan, and the Yue State has destroyed the Wu State in recent decades and defeated the Jiaodong State, and the border is leaning on the Qi State here.
In the past, the main enemy of Qi was the Yan State in the north, the northern overlord of Yan State, with the strongest heavy cavalry troops in the vassal states, and Qi State has been invaded and plundered by Yan State since its founding.
In the period of Qi Lufu's grandfather, there were only two cities left in the Qi country of the Northern Yan fight, and the Yingqiu city was broken, and the monarch of the Qi State was killed at that time, and later the son of the monarch of the Qi State fled to Qingzhou, and later under the leadership of the Sun family, he gradually regained the lost territory, and later hit the Yan State in several battles, and the Yan State withdrew because of the foreign enemies in the north.
In the early days of Qi Lufu, Yan and Qi still had to fight, but in the middle of Qi Lufu, Qi Lufu married his daughter, Qi Xiaobai's sister, to Yan State, and the two countries made peace and officially submitted a non-aggression peace treaty, and the battle between Qi and Yan was over.
The content of the treaty is that every year Qi will give Yan State, one-tenth of the grain harvested by Qi State, and since then Qi State has gradually stabilized and can develop with peace of mind.
Later, Qi defeated the Yue army in Jiaodong, and more or less with the help of Yan......
At present, Qi and Yan are in the honeymoon period, and there is no need for the Lubei Army to continue to stay in Lubei, and they can basically be transferred.
Of course, Guan Zhong's transfer of the Lubei Army was not a simple transfer, but had an important purpose.
"No problem!" Zhang Heng replied.
"That's good!" Guan Zhong said lightly, and then Zhang Heng took out the handsome seal and handed it to Qi Xiaobai.
And in the palace of the Northern Yan King.
Qi Jie had already learned that Qi Xiaobai had become the Duke of Qi at this time, and he clenched his fists: "Damn, in the end, he actually let this Qi Xiaobai pick up a big bargain!" Qi Jie didn't expect that it would be Qi Xiaobai who would finally control the Qi State.
Originally, he still thought that Qi Zhu was dead, and he returned to Qi to ascend the throne, but now there is no need to go back, and now he will definitely be killed by Qi Xiaobai if he goes back.
In fact, Zhang Heng wanted to lure Qi Jiu to Qi State, and get rid of Qi Jiu so that he could get a good vote, but unfortunately, Qi Jiu's intelligence system seemed to be good, and he actually learned the news of Qi Xiaobai's succession, and he was not deceived, and scolded Zhang Heng, a white-eyed wolf, and ungrateful......
"Brother, what are you doing here?" A very seductive woman in a gorgeous robe with a beautiful mole in the corner of her eye walked in.
"Sister, that Qi Xiaobai sat in the position of Qi Guogong, how can I not be angry?" Qi said angrily.
"If you sit down, you can sit down, he is also a member of our Qi family, as long as the position of the head of the Qi country has not changed his surname!" The woman sat down, looked at Qi Jiu and said.
