Chapter 54 54.Five thousand cows
During the war, generals must not quarrel with each other, so Tian Dan persuaded Zhang Heng and Sun Bin.
"You all go down first, I'll discuss it with Zhongjun!" Tian Dan said to Sun Bin and Zhang Heng and Jiang Ai, who was silent on the side.
And Guan Zhong said to Jiang Ai: "You stay!" ”
Sun Bin and Zhang Heng walked out, and Zhang Heng heard the war horn of the Vietnamese army as soon as he went out......
Sun Bin on the side shouted: "I'll command ......"
Although Tian Dan and the others in the military tent heard it, they didn't go out, because recently, the Vietnamese army would rush up three to five times a day, and at first the commander needed to control it, but now the Qi army has also adapted to it, and there is no need for the marshal to sit in charge at all.
As long as you put up a square formation and follow the steps step by step, you can defend against the impact of the Vietnamese army......
At this time, Li Shou, who was watching the impact of the Vietnamese army, said angrily: "This group of Qi King bastards is really a turtle, where they set up camp and don't come to attack!" ”
"The Qi army should be scared by us, they may want to spend it like this, and wait for the Chu army to attack Huiji to support them!" Li Shou's deputy general Tian Liang said.
"This Wuli is embarrassed to claim to be a national warrior, with more soldiers than me, and he was beaten to Xuancheng by the Chu army and did not dare to fight!" Li Shou muttered on the side.
"We must quickly defeat this Qi army, and then go to Huiji to support the Gong, otherwise when the Chu army arrives in Huiji, it will be useless for us to defend this group of Qi troops!" Li Shou said on the side.
"I have to find some time to find a way to break the quadrangle!" Li Shou said on the side.
The quadrangular array is a formation researched by Sun Bin's grandfather of Qi State, as long as Qi State puts this formation, although it cannot annihilate the opponent, but there is no problem with defense.
Later, this formation gradually spread to the outside, and many countries chose to use the quadrangular formation to meet the enemy when they couldn't beat it!
"Okay, let's withdraw the troops today, if we continue to fight like this, we will increase our losses without prison!" Li Shou looked at the battlefield and said.
Then the Vietnamese country waved the flag and began to evacuate......
And Tian Dan and Guan Zhong walked out, and when they saw a few cows, they were about to be killed by the soldiers, Tian Dan's eyes lit up: "Don't kill this cow!" ”
"Marshal, this is the beef that the soldiers have prepared for the heroic battles in the past few days!" A soldier said to Tian Dan.
"I know, don't kill this cow today, and I'll invite you brothers to eat a whole cow feast another day, and each soldier will have a pound of beef!" Tian Dan said to the soldier.
The beef of these cows is distributed to the whole army is only a small amount for each person, and now that this Tiandan is left, each person will share a pound in the future, how can the soldiers not be excited?
After all, Qi is not Yan and Zhao, there are grasslands, you can herd sheep and cattle, cattle are very cherished in Qi country, cattle can be used for ploughing in Qi country, it is even more precious, only big landlords can occasionally eat beef in Qi country.
And these cows were ordered from above to reward the soldiers, after all, eating cabbage and rice every day in a war would disgust the soldiers, and the combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
Cabbage and rice are the standard for the Qi army, of course, non-commissioned officers can get a piece of meat, and the higher the level, the more meat will follow.
"Okay, Marshal!" Then the soldier let go of the cow, and Tian Dan stroked the cow, and Guan Zhong on the side said, "The marshal has a way?" ”
"There's a way, but you need a cow!" Tian Dan said lightly.
"How many?" Guan Zhong looked at Tian Dan and asked.
"Five thousand!" Tian Dan said lightly.
And Guan Zhong was stunned: "Five thousand cows? That's not a small amount! ”
Five thousand cattle, Qi can take it out, but the value of five thousand cattle is very large, at least for Qi is very large, after all, Qi is an agricultural civilization, cattle are the primary productive forces, and the people's and civil places in Qi are very large, so the price of cattle in Qi is also greatly increased!
"I hope that Zhongjun will approve to Duke Huan, five thousand cattle, I will be able to defeat the Yue army and break through this Peng City!" Tian Dan looked at Guan Zhong and said.
"Five thousand cows is not a small number, but if you can defeat the Vietnamese army, I can tell Qi Huan Gong, but what if you can't defeat it?" Guan Zhong looked at Tian Dan and asked.
This is Guan Zhong asked Tian Dan to make a military order, after all, 5,000 cows are not a small number, winning the Vietnamese army and breaking through Pengcheng, these 5,000 cows are worth the money, but if they are not broken, the silver of the white flowers will be wasted......
"I'm willing to make a military order, if I lose, I'll kill myself!" Tian Dan said to Guan Zhong.
"That's good, I'll go to Gong Huan and let him approve five thousand cows!" Guan Zhong said to Tian Dan.
Then Tian Dan told Guan Zhong about his plan, Guan Zhong nodded and hurriedly praised: "Then I'll look forward to it!" ”
Guan Zhong's excerpt arrived in front of Qi Xiaobai, Qi Xiaobai looked at the excerpt, and then looked at Zhang Tianshang: "The front line needs five thousand cows, can you, the finance minister, get it?" ”
"Your Majesty can get five thousand head of oxen, and it doesn't cost a penny!" Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
And Uncle Bao on the side looked at Zhang Tianshang: "Are you going to ask those big Confucians and big landlords for cattle?" ”
"The country needs cattle now, these Confucians, big landlords, can't they make some contributions to the country? After all, the state usually takes a lot of care for them! Zhang Tianshang said to Uncle Bao.
"This will make them hate Zhang Shangqing, the future ......" Before Uncle Bao finished speaking, Zhang Tianshang showed a smile with conspiracy: "I still have to deal with these Confucians, so I can't do this errand, but the minister recommends one!" ”
Like the landlords and the great Confucian families levy cattle, this will definitely offend them, although Zhang Tianshang looks at them unpleasantly, but he is a smart person, he can deal with these landlords and Confucians, but when he drove to the west that day, these landlords and Confucians' grievances were not placed on their sons?
So Zhang Tianshang can't do it for his children and grandchildren.
"Who do you recommend?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and asked.
Zhang Tianshang looked at the people around Qi Xiaobai, was silent for a long time, and said, "Father-in-law Wei! ”
"Wei Dexian?" Qi Xiaobai was stunned and looked at Wei Dexian beside him.
And Wei Dexian was also stunned, he didn't expect that this heavenly heaven would recommend himself to go to the cattle ......
"Father-in-law Wei has no queen, so what can be let go is to go to collect cattle!" Zhang Tianshang looked at Wei Dexian and said.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are here, go to levy cattle, those landlords, the Confucians won't say anything, but when the ministers die, the ministers are afraid that these Confucians will hate the ministers and take action against their children and grandchildren...... Zhang Tianshang said to Qi Xiaobai, although Zhang Tianshang has been fighting with the Confucian landlords now, but Zhang Tianshang did not offend these people to death, but only suppressed and suppressed them, if they were levied 5,000 cattle, this would undoubtedly offend them......
