Chapter 61 61
The news of Tian Dan's victory over the Vietnamese army has reached Qi Xiaobai's ears.
When Qi Xiaobai heard the news, he immediately feasted the ministers, Qi Xiaobai raised his glass: "We raise a glass for Marquis Tian's victory over the Vietnamese army!" ”
The courtiers of the Qi State all raised their glasses: "Toast to the victory of Marquis Tian!" ”
Tian Dan's victory relieved Qi Xiaobai's heart, and Bao Shuya explained to Qi Xiaobai the offensive line of Qi and defeated Li Shou, so Qi would not encounter any strong enemies on the southward route.
Zhong Wu, Gusu City, the defenders in these places are only 100,000 at most, and none of them are the elite of the Yue Kingdom, so they can't compete with the huge number of Qi troops at all.
It can be said that Pengcheng is the only defense line of the Vietnamese army that can block the Qi army, and when Pengcheng is lost, the Yue State is basically a flat country for the Qi State......
And the strategy of the Yue State is that the north can contain the Qi State, and the southwest defeats the Chu army, then they have hope to survive, if the north cannot contain the Qi State, or the South cannot defeat the Chu State, it will be a demise for the Yue State......
And Yue Guo placed most of its military strength in the southwest, because Yue Guo knew that the main force of this attack on Yue was the Chu army, and only the victory over the Chu army was a victory in the real sense.
However, what he didn't expect was that the north did not contain the Qi army, while the southwest was firmly contained by the Chu army......
If Li Shou hadn't left Pengcheng and defended Pengcheng, perhaps the Qi army would not have been able to break through Pengcheng so far, after all, Pengcheng's fortifications were among the best in the Yue Kingdom.
But Li Shou is a figure of the brave fighting faction, and let him hold back in the city, which is not in line with his brave character.
Maybe if the Vietnamese army was defeated in the first battle, Li Shou would choose to defend to the death, but he won, and the Qi army that blindly felt that it was vulnerable, and he was more sure of his ideas in the later battles.
And the defenders of the Qi army also realized that there was a big gap between the Qi army and the Vietnamese army, and in conventional battles, the Qi army was basically not the opponent of the Vietnamese army.
Therefore, Tian Dan could only rely on strategy and wisdom to win the Vietnamese army, and the moment he saw the ox, he saw a peerless strategy......
"Marquis Tian's Fire Bull Formation is really high, high!" Zhang Tianshang said in the entire court.
"Marquis Tian, he will send someone to deliver Pengcheng's grain in a few days to make up for the financial resources consumed by the Fire Ox Array!" Wei Dexian said to Qi Xiaobai.
Pengcheng is the granary of the Vietnamese army in the north, because there are heavy troops on the northern border, and the food and salaries of these troops come from Pengcheng.
Therefore, defeating Pengcheng means that the Qi army has mastered the granary in the north of the Yue country, and the strategy of the Qi army is different from that of the Yue country, the Yue country is a surprise attack, and wants to quickly defeat the Qi country, and the Qi army chose to fight steadily and steadily, marching step by step into Huiji, so as to destroy the Yue country.
Therefore, these important cities, the Qi army will choose to occupy, including Zhongwu and Gusu City in the back, and the Qi army will also send a large army to station.
Qi Xiaobai nodded: "Well, Tian Dan has done a good job, and when his class teacher returns to the dynasty, I will reward him heavily......"
And Tian Dan also thought that Qi Xiaobai would reward him again, he would not have thought that he had made such a great contribution to Qi Guoguo, but what was waiting for him was a trap, maybe a new ......
Because the Qi army was defeated, Qi Xiaobai's mood was quite good, he feasted the ministers in the palace, and invited those beauties to sing and dance......
Liu Ruoqing saw that Qi Xiaobai was in a good mood, she showed a smile and looked at Qi Xiaobai quietly.
Qi Xiaobai deeply realized the hard work of being a monarch, he thought that he could live carefree as a monarch, but now this situation makes him carefree.
At first, his brother wanted to kill him, but now in order to survive, he has to go to diplomacy with other countries, and he has to go to war, and after fighting the Yue country, Qi Xiaobai believes that this is definitely not the end, but the beginning......
In this era of strong powers, as long as there is a trace of unenterprising, what awaits him is destruction......
Qi Xiaobai thanked him for having so many capable ministers around him, and thanked Guan Zhong from the bottom of his heart......
When Qi Xiaobai thanked Guan Zhong, Guan Zhong also thanked Qi Xiaobai in his heart, because Qi Xiaobai gave him the opportunity to show, if it wasn't for Qi Xiaobai, maybe he would still be that unambitious madman in Zou Cheng......
And because of Qi Xiaobai, that unwilling fanatic is already under one person in the entire Qi country and above ten thousand people at the moment, although he was not named Shangqing, but his status is not lower than Shangqing, and even Xiaobai, the monarch of Qi State, has to call him a father......
And Guan Zhong's deeds of helping Qi Xiaobai ascend the throne have also reached the ears of the princes of the Central Plains, and Guan Zhong's reputation can be said to be resounding throughout the Zhou Empire now.
This is the beginning of Qi Xiaobai, and it is also the beginning of Guan Zhong......
After Yue Huijun, the monarch of the Yue Kingdom in Huiji, learned about the loss of Pengcheng, he angrily threw up the documents on the table......
"Who can stop the Qi army, who can stop the Qi army?" Yue Huigong roared angrily.
And the ministers of the Yue Kingdom were silent, and after a while, Xie Fu stood up and looked at Yue Huigong: "The ministers are willing to go to Gusu City to resist the Qi army!" ”
Yue Huigong was stunned: "Shangqing, do you know the method of marching and fighting to defend the city?" ”
Xie Fu shook his head: "Now that the country of Vietnam is in trouble, how can I, as the secretary, be silent here forever?" I want to do my part for the country! ”
Yue Huigong took a deep breath and looked at Xie Fu: "The widow regrets not listening to your advice at the beginning, provoking the Qi State, letting Qi Chu form an alliance, and making the Yue Kingdom now in danger!" ”
"You are not wrong, any wise monarch wants to expand the territory of his country, and the prince is just in a hurry!" Xie Fu said lightly.
At this time, there was no one who could take on this great responsibility in the Yue Kingdom, the general Li Shou was killed, the general Wang Heng was captured, and the unparalleled Wuli of the national warrior was contained in Xuancheng of the Yue State.
Now I need someone to go to the north to defend it, increase the burden on the Qi army, not to defeat the Qi army, but to be able to drag the Qi army, and wait for Xuancheng to defeat the Chu army, and then go to annihilate the Qi army......
This is the only way out for the country at present, and it is also the only way to live......
"Fujun, as long as you can live, Yue Guo can survive, and after the war, I will make you a marquis!" Yue Huigong looked at Xie Fu and said.
"Gong, I don't want to be alive, I just want to be able to hold off the Qi army and add a glimmer of hope to the Yue country!" Xie Fu said to Yue Huigong.
"How many troops can the North still have?" Yue Huigong looked at a general and asked.
"Yu Gong is Zhong Wu's defenders, and we still have 100,000 in the north!" The general said to Yue Huigong.
These 100,000 were not the standing army of the Yue State, but the normal garrison, including the peasants who were forcibly recruited......
"Enough!" Xie Fu said.
