Chapter 71: Fighting Qi (4)
The main general of the Yan Army’s South Road, Wang Shi, and the deputy general Wu Yangjing, stood at the head of the city of Maiqiu City (now the area of Shanghe County, Shandong).
Looking at the war in the city, it was gradually extinguished by the Yan army and the people.
Wang Shi sighed at Wu Yangjing, the deputy general who had already met with his central army beside him, and said:
"The last general was by the king's side and listened to my king's words: "The people will suffer; the people will suffer as well when they die." My king's sympathy for the people, and God can see it!"
Wu Yangjing also said to Wang Shi with emotion:
"General, since the weakening of the Zhou Dynasty, the people of the world have suffered for hundreds of years. I don't know when I will give the people of the world a place where they live and work in peace and contentment like our Yan State?"
Wang Shi shook his head and said to Wu Yangjing:
"At that time, this general was beside my king, and the Prime Minister Lu Zhonglian asked my king this question just like a general."
Wu Yangjing said "Oh" and asked Wang Shi:
"General, how did my king answer at that time?"
"My king said to the prime minister Lu Zhonglian: "Only when the world is truly unified can the people in the world truly live and work in peace and contentment." At that time, I was by the king's side and knew my king's ambition!"
"I, Wang Shengming."
Not knowing what he remembered, General Wang Shi turned around and looked at the Yan army camp outside the city and said:
"General Wu, our army has been wasting too much time under Maiqiu City. Now, as soon as possible, hand over Maiqiu City to the officials sent by the Ministry of Personnel and General Zuo Zong's rear army. Our army should cross the river as soon as possible and join the troops of Hu Guiliang, who was vanguarding our army."
Bo Wang nodded and said, "What the general said is that our army repelled the Qi army from Pingyuan City to aid and broke through Maiqiu City. It has been too much time here."
"According to the intelligence, our third army has already arrived at Qiancheng City, and it can be said that we are alone in the deep! The main force of our army must go to Qiancheng as soon as possible to join the Third Army."
"Hu Guiliang's troops are out of touch with our rear army. According to the information report, Qi State has appointed Damin as the chief general and commanded the Qi army in Linzi, such as Qi's Technician Army. It is estimated that the reinforcements from Qi State will come to the Ji River soon."
"If Hu Guiliang's third army was surrounded by Qi reinforcements under Qiancheng City, the consequences would be serious."
Wang Shi thought about it again and said to Bo Wang: "General Hu has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and has rich experience. I believe that General Hu Guiliang is not so easy to be surrounded by reinforcements from Qi. However, it is important for our army to meet with him as soon as possible."
"By the way, General Wu, since General Zuo Zong has led the Second Army and a reserve army to join the front line, according to the king's edict, he will be subject to the control of my front line."
Speaking of this, above the city, Wang Shi said to the commander beside him:
"I gave General Zuo Zong the order that the two armies he led would be controlled by our front line. I ordered General Zuo Zong to lead the Second Army as the rear army of our army, to monitor the Qi army in the west of Gaotang and the plains; and ordered the reserve army he led to cooperate with the officials of the Ministry of Personnel to take over the cities behind our army, and not to make any mistakes."
"promise."
After the commemorative officer walked down the city, Wang Shi said to the deputy general Wu Yangjing:
"General, let our army rest in Maiqiu for one night today, and the army will go south tomorrow."
"After the order." Deputy General Wu Yangjing bowed and said with his fists.
After Wang Shi arrived in Maiqiu City, the Fourth Army received information from the Intelligence Bureau.
The 30,000 Qi troops from Gaotang and Pingyuan and other cities in the west of Maiqiu City came to reinforce Maiqiu after receiving the emergency from the garrison of Maiqiu City.
In this case, Wang Shi could only urge the rear army led by Wu Yangjing to come quickly; on the other hand, he led the army to set up an ambush west of Maiqiu City, repelling the 30,000 Qi troops who came to aid.
Looking back, together with Wu Yangjing's 10th Army, he attacked Maiqiu City.
This time, it took a lot of time.
At this time, it was already April 3rd, and it was urgent to meet with the third army of the forward Hu Guiliang as soon as possible.
The chief general of the Qi army, Damin, was the younger brother of Dazi, a famous general of Qi State.
Since the age of sixteen, Damin followed his brother Dazi to fight for Qi.
In the 29th year of King Zhao of Yan (284 BC), Le Yi conquered Qi.
The Yan State was unstoppable and invaded Qi State.
King Min of Qi appointed Shi Zi as the main general and Da Zi as the deputy general, leading the main force of Qi army to fight against the Yan army. The two sides confronted each other on the west bank of Jihehe.
The general told the King Min of Qi: "In the battlefield of Jixi, the enemy is strong and we are weak, which is not conducive to our army. Our Qi army should use the Ji River and defend along the river. When the morale of the Yan army is exhausted, then send troops to attack."
At that time, King Min of Qi actually ordered the master to tell the truth:
"Send troops immediately. If you don't send troops, I will destroy your clan and dig your ancestral grave."
As a result, Chu Zi was forced to lead the Qi army to fight, and the Yan army led by Le Yi was defeated by the Yan army in the west of Jihe River.
The Lord General Chu Zi was afraid of being killed by King Min of Qi, so he drove away alone and disappeared.
Damin and his brother Dazi led the defeated Qi army, retreated all the way and gathered the Qi army along the way.
Who knew that after retreating to Qinzhou City (now northeastern Zibo, Shandong), the last gateway to the northern end of the capital of Linzi, his elder brother Dazi received an edict from King Min of Qi to lead the remnants of Qi army to guard Qinzhou, and not take a step back.
At that time, the Qi army was defeated in all battles and their morale was depressed.
Seeing this, Dazi went to Linzi City in person and asked King Min of Qi to give more money to the defeated Qi army to boost morale.
But unexpectedly, Dazi's good advice was not accepted by the foolish King Qi Min.
Damin's elder brother Dazi was kicked twice by King Min of Qi and rushed back.
After Dazi returned to Qin and Zhou, he knew that this battle would be defeated.
He arranged his younger brother Damin to go to Jucheng, and he died for his country in Qinzhou City.
After Damin arrived in Jucheng, he had good strategies for his war and was appointed as his deputy general by Tian Shan, the commander of Qi army.
After Tian Dan restored the country, because Tian Dan made too great contributions and had too high reputation in Qi, the royal family of Qi took great precautions against Tian Dan.
Damin was also implicated.
Since Tian Dan was transferred to Zhao State, Damin was idle at home and had nothing to do.
Until now, after Qi was once again facing the attack of Yan State, the situation was critical.
The queen remembered Damin and appointed him as the commander of the Yan army, led his army to fight against the Yan army and protect Linzi.
Now, Damin is one of the few generals in Qi who have actual combat command of troops.
At this time, in Qinzhou City, the commander of Qi army, Damin, frowned and felt extremely irritable.
Why? The reason is the Qi Tech Army of Qi State.
As the most powerful army in Qi State, Qi Jijun did not expect that in just over twenty years, he would become like this.
Most of the generals in the army were not those who were good at fighting, but were the royal family and the ministers in the court.
Because Qi Jianjun has a great reputation in Qi State, he served as a single official and half position in Qi Jianjun and was promoted quickly.
For the future of his future, the royal family of Qi and even the ministers in the court rely on relationships and bribes to win, and then arrange for his future generations to enter the Qi Sword Army.
Most people entered Qijian Army and came to make a name and qualifications, but few of them had real talents and knowledge.
On the contrary, it was Qi Jianjun. Because of the existence of these guys, the entire Qi Jianjun was chaotic.
Now when I heard that I was going to go forward to fight against the Yan army, many royal relatives and even the ministers in the court found the master general Damin.
I hope Damin can be able to adapt and let his future generations go back.
The Lord General Damin of Qi did not know what to do with the current situation of the Qi army?
The relationship is too complicated!
In Ji Kang's words, he is not afraid of a god-like opponent, but a pig-like teammate!
Facing the upcoming Yanqi Battle, Damin felt very worried.
