Chapter 472 472
While the group was debating the way forward and how to go, they heard the sound of neat footsteps.
Wu Qian looked into the distance and found that the aristocratic coalition army of Zhaoyang was walking towards them, about 50,000 people.
Wu Qian drew his sword: "Brothers, draw your sword!" ”
Wu Qian didn't expect that this Zhaoyang would send an army to chase and kill them, they didn't run in the direction of Shucheng, Wu Qian Jue, this Zhaoyang should be worried that this is a strategy to lure the enemy, and he shouldn't send an army to come, but he didn't expect Zhaoyang to send an army to exterminate them.
The reason why Zhaoyang was able to send troops to encircle and suppress them was due to Wu Qi's contributions, since they were Wu Qi's soldiers, then there were chess pieces planted by Wu Qi in this army.
Although Wu Qi did not command this army, he also had to keep abreast of the movements of this army, so he planted a few chess pieces in this army to transmit information in the way of pigeons.
When the two armies fought, some of Wu Qi's chess pieces entered Zhaoyang's legion, and the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side would not be defeated in a hundred battles, he always had the enemy's intelligence.
It is also for this reason that Wu Qi can reach the point of undefeat on the battlefield, that is, he always grasps the movements of the enemy, and knows the steps that the opponent is going to take at the fastest speed, so he Wu Qi will make a strategy to meet the enemy at the fastest speed.
When he learned that Wu Qian was suspected of desertion, Wu Qi did not think about letting these people go, even if they were cannon fodder, but they also joined the Chu State Army.
joined the Chu State Army, that is, a soldier, on the battlefield, as a deserter, then he must die, and this Wu Qian is not one, two escapes, but more than 5,000 people collectively escaped, which Wu Qi can't bear.
If it was in normal times, Wu Qi would definitely personally deal with this group of deserters to show his military might, but now is an extraordinary period, so he chose to use Zhaoyang and execute this group of deserters.
Although this group of people did not play the greatest role, they also played a certain role, making Zhaoyang feel that he Wu Qi was just a vain name, only fame, and mediocre ability.
It is enough to have this, and with this, this group of people can be bold, take risks, and ignore some details, and he can use these details to defeat the other from the mistakes of others.
"General, what are we going to do? Surrender? A general looked at Wu Qian and said.
"Surrender? Can this group make us surrender? Wu Qian saw very clearly that surrender was definitely not a wise choice.
This time, the main general is Qiu Feng, a nobleman, the title is earl, and he also has a certain status, he led a coalition of more than 50,000 nobles to encircle and suppress Wu Qian.
Qiu Feng walked out and looked at Wu Qian: "Archer! "The order given to him by Zhaoyang was to directly annihilate this force and capture Wu Qian alive.
And Wu Qian stood up, looked at Qiu Feng and said, "Your Excellency, can you talk to me?" ”
"What is there to talk about?" Qiu Feng asked suspiciously.
"Leave us alone, we can hand in all our weapons!" Wu Qian did not say surrender, but said to let them go, which meant to give them a way to live.
Wu Qian knew that it was impossible to surrender, and as soon as the other party came up, he didn't say anything, and let the archers prepare, which was obviously to annihilate them.
"Leave you alone? Let you be a threat to us? Qiu Feng looked at Wu Qian and said.
Wu Qian walked out and knelt on the ground: "If Your Excellency is willing to let go of this group of innocent people, I, Wu Qian, am willing to kill myself in public!" ”
"Do you think you can defeat us?" Qiu Feng sneered, he felt that this Wu Qian didn't kill himself, and the final outcome was the same, that is, they all had to die miserably.
And Wu Qian looked at Qiu Feng and said, "Your Excellency, can you hear that the trapped beast is still fighting?" Although we will definitely lose, we can cause great losses to your Excellency! ”
"Your Excellency's army is your coalition army, not the Zhaoyang Army, do you want to look at your own troops, such a loss?" Wu Qian looked at Qiu Feng and said.
Before Qiu Feng could speak, the people behind him began to chatter, and Wu Qian said the key.
This army is their own soldiers, recruited at their own expense, at their own expense, and in their own territory.
Although the whole world obeys Zhaoyang as the leader of the alliance and obeys Zhaoyang's dispatch, they are the real soldier commanders, because they are all recruited at their expense.
And among the 50,000 coalition troops, Qiu Feng's army is only 3,000 people, after all, he is only a small earl, and he is not a particularly powerful earl, and it is actually very good to have a force of 3,000 people.
Wu Qian's words made Qiu Feng also think deeply, he was 3,000 people, to be honest, he didn't want to sacrifice them, you can't take 3,000 people with you when you come out, and when you go back, you will become the commander of the light pole, right?
And Qiu Feng looked at the big brothers behind him, although he was the main general, but Qiu Feng also knew that the low posture behind him was already giving him face, after all, people are also nobles, and they also have soldiers and food.
Some of them have more troops and more money than you Qiu Feng, expecting Qiu Feng to command them?
I'm afraid this Qiu Feng doesn't dare to think about it, but if he wants to annihilate this Wu Qian, I'm afraid he has to use his own 3,000 people to take the lead.
Even if you, Qiu Feng, give an order and let others go, will people follow your advice? Calling you Uncle Qiu, that's giving you face, not giving you face, I don't bother to take care of you, who do you think you are? Everyone is a nobleman, why should they give you face?
As for why they all give face to Zhaoyang, Zhaoyang can mobilize these people, it is because Zhaoyang soldiers are strong and powerful, and they are very powerful, one of the three major families of Chu State, they want money, money, and soldiers, they can only join forces with Zhaoyang to keep warm, so as to defeat the central army of Chu State, so as to become independent, or force the Central Committee of Chu State to give up the policy of cutting feudal domains.
You are not Zhaoyang, you don't have more troops than Zhaoyang, you don't have money in Zhaoyang, although you are the chief general appointed by Zhaoyang, but this is out, you still have to put the main general, look at some old roots, then I'm sorry, we won't give you face.
After the war, this group of people wants to know their own territory, and they follow Zhaoyang into the customs, just to keep their territory, and by the way, see if they can get some benefits?
And Zhaoyang entered the customs because he wanted to be independent at first, but now he has the idea of replacing Xiong and wants to stay in the customs of Chu and be the king of Chu.
"These brothers of mine have taken refuge in you, and you can also use them to fight Wu Qi!" Wu Qian said to these people.
Wu Qian is a surrender in disguise, but he is not a prisoner of war, but he wants this group of brothers to join Zhaoyang's forces, become a member, and fight Wu Qi together.
Judging from the strength of Zhaoyang's coalition army, five thousand people, among this group of nobles, is considered a medium level, although it is a middle and lower level, after all, this Qiu Feng is only three thousand people.
