Chapter 553 The joy of a salary thief! This general is the personal disciple of Lord Chang'an!
The turmoil caused by the decline of the Chu family relatives continued to affect Da Qin, causing various forces within Da Qin to fight endlessly for power.
The news of the imperial examination to identify talents spread all over the world, causing the world's elites to either ridicule, disdain, or pack up their bags and embark on the road to seek official positions.
Xiong Qi, who returned to Chu State, not only brought back political policies and drastic measures to rectify internal affairs from Qin State, but also brought back the ignition of war, and continued the dark cloud of war with a Chu-Qi war.
Although the war that affected the whole world has ended, and although the time has come to rest, the whole world is still turbulent!
However, none of this was taken into consideration by Ying Chengxuan.
After talking with Ying Zheng all night long, Ying Chengyu made Chang Yun and others understand a truth.
For ordinary officials, skipping early morning meetings is a serious crime of dereliction of duty.
But for Ying Chengyu?
Is it a big deal if you wake up early one day?
Not only did he skip the morning meeting, he also skipped work!
Not only did he skip work, he also skipped work every month!
What’s wrong with me being a salary thief?
Hide in the cesspool and become one, regardless of winter, summer, spring and autumn!
……
Leisure belongs to Ying Chengxuan.
Others only think it is noisy.
February 7, the thirteenth year of King Qin’s reign.
Ju (jǔ) Du Palace.
Tianjia looked down at the map of Kun, and the wooden stick in his hand slid over the cities:
"Nineteen cities including Yongmen, Fuli, and Pengcheng fell!"
"Six cities including Xiapi City, Xiangbi, Lanling, Qiyang, Yangdu, and Tan (tán) City were besieged!"< br>
The fallen and besieged cities were connected by wooden sticks to form a line, and finally a trend chart was outlined in front of Tianjia.
“The State of Chu is clearly trying to open up the Shu (shù) and Yí (yí) rivers!”
“Then he went east to the Yishui River to directly attack the Great Wall of Qi State, breaking through the Muling Pass. Come into my realm.”
"The Shu River went straight to Liangfu Mountain in the west, then turned west to Pingyin, and went north to circumvent the Great Wall."
"In the end, soldiers and horses from the east and west routes threatened Linzi, the capital of Qi, from both directions at the same time. !”
Jududu doctor Kuang Yong frowned: “Is this the analysis of the court?”
Tian Jia said solemnly: “Not bad!” This is the military strategy obtained by the Prime Minister and the court officials based on the performance of the Chu State in this battle."
"I think so too."
"That's why I need to take the initiative to attack!"
"Take advantage of the opportunity of the Chu army to divide into two groups, and attack one of the Chu troops first. Defeat the Chu army!"
Kuang Yong shook his head: "Absurd!"
"The most ridiculous thing in the world!"
"Even if Chu Shangzhu's state Yan can do something, King Qi of Chu has only been on the throne for a few months, and the Chu army has only been preparing for two months."
"The Chu army suffered another disastrous defeat. It’s a time when morale is low.”
“How dare the Chu State target this battle directly at our capital city of Qi?”
In Kuang Yong’s opinion, this military strategy is completely feasible. To describe it in one sentence -
The State of Chu did not take Qi State seriously!
None of the passes or important cities were taken seriously by Chu State, and they just chose the most convenient way to reach Linzi.
But why is Chu State?
Qi is weak.
But Qi is one of the Seven Heroes after all!
If Qi had no ability, how could it survive in this world of great strife?
Not to mention that in recent years, Chu State has suffered a series of defeats, its morale has been low, and its youth has withered.
Even the State of Chu in its heyday a few years ago could not have conquered the capital of Qi so easily!
Tian Jia directly refuted: "If the Chu army was really as Dr. Kuangdu said, how could they have reduced nearly 20% of our Qi territory in just three months?! "
" Eighty percent of the territory Qin ceded to us to borrow troops from Da Qi last year has been lost. "
"This is enough to show that Chu has indeed suffered repeated defeats in recent years! , but it is still not a powerful country that our Da Qi can rival!”
As he spoke, Tian Jiu felt very unwilling.
Last year Ying Chengyu ceded the area around Huaiyin to Qi in order to borrow troops.
It also includes Jucheng, Yangdu and other important cities that once served as the capital of Qi State.
The whole country of Qi was excited for a long time, and even the celebrations of the wax festival were much more lively than in previous years.
The subjects of Qi State felt that the revival of Qi State might start from this.
But what's the result?
It has been less than a year since Qi State took over those cities, and 80% of the territory ceded by Ying Chengyu last year has been reduced!
Revival?
Go to Te Niang’s revival!
It only took Chu State three months to shatter Qi State’s dream of rejuvenation, and made Qi State once again feel the fear of being dominated by a powerful country!
Kuang Yong sighed softly and reluctantly handed over his hand: "The cities in the south have fallen, and the fault lies with the Pontic doctor!"
"When this battle is over, the Pontu doctor will definitely go to Linzi to plead guilty to the king in person!"
As a doctor of Judu, Kuang Yong is the chief military officer of Judu. He is also in charge of one of the five capitals of Qi State and is responsible for guarding the southern territory of Qi State.
With this battle being fought like this, Kuang Yong has an unshirkable responsibility!
But after admitting his mistake, Kuang Yong looked at Tian Jia with a firm gaze: "Doctor Pontu will not deny the responsibility of Dr. Pontu!"
"Of course, the doctor of this capital must make the king, general Tian and all colleagues in the court understand."
"For a soldier, time, location, and people are indispensable!"
" The reason why the Yongmen cities fell so quickly was not because our Qi soldiers were weaker than Chu. "
"It was because these territories had been in the hands of Chu for too long. Many subjects already consider themselves Chu people, not Qi people. "And the interests of the people in the city are closely related to Chu. Their hearts are not with Qi, but with Chu!"
"Just like Pengcheng, when the Chu army arrived, the people in the city immediately became turbulent and took the officers and soldiers in the city to surrender!"
"Faced with such a predicament, even Lord Qin Changan felt extremely difficult and had no choice but to seek help from the imperial court. ! ”
Kang Yong feels miserable!
If it is really because of the disparity in strength between the two sides that Kuang Yong was defeated, Kuang Yong would not hesitate to die to repay his kindness.
But the problem is that Kuang Yong submitted a letter to the court as early as last year, requesting to suppress the common people and dignitaries in the newly attached area to stabilize the newly attached area, but Qi Prime Minister Hou Sheng rejected the petition, so that Pengcheng and other As soon as the people in the city saw the Chu army arriving, they immediately rebelled.
Even if Kuang Yong has a good military strategy, how can he defend the country in the face of internal and external troubles?
Kuang Yong was defeated, but Kuang Yong was unwilling to accept it.
Kuang Yong didn’t even think that he would lose to Xiang Yan in Lao Qi!
Tian Jiao thought thoughtfully: "Doctor Kuangdu believes that the rebellion of the people in the newly attached land is the main reason why our Daqi was so defeated in this battle."
"Just like last year. What happened to Lord Qin Changan in Jianghan? ”
Kuang Yong told Tian Ji about the difficulties he encountered, but Tian Ji couldn't quite understand.
After all, Tianjia does not have much war experience or much political experience. He does not understand the actual difficulties faced by the grassroots.
When Kuang Yong gave Ying Chengyu as an example, Tian Jiu understood immediately.
How can Kuang Yong and Tianjia solve this dilemma that even Ying Chengyu has difficulty solving?
Kuang Yong nodded repeatedly: "Ran Ye! Ran Ye!"
"Doctor Ponti believes that the reason why the Chu State dared to go to war with our Qi Dynasty without sufficient preparations this time is not because the Chu State has strong soldiers and horses, but because the Chu State is very clear about the hearts of these people."
“Therefore, the Pontic doctors believe that this battle of the Chu State is not to attack our Linzi, but just to use the power of the people of the newly attached land to regain the territory that fell to our Qi State last year.”
"When the Chu army takes all those territories, it will withdraw its troops."
"What I, Da Qi, have to do is not to take the initiative, but to strictly guard the cities along the way, and we will not hesitate to use blood and weapons to suppress them. The people of the newly-attached land, please take the newly-attached land into my hands as soon as possible!"
After Tian Jia was silent for a few breaths, he said softly: "Before I leave the court, there are also many officials. Please remonstrate with the people of the new land. ”
Kuang Yong's eyes were full of expectation: "What's the result?"
Tian Jia shook his head: "All the prime ministers rejected it."
The light in Kuang Yong's eyes dimmed a little. , but there is still the last glimmer of hope: "What about the king?"
"What does the king say?"
Tian Jia sighed softly: "The king... got Chang'an, the newly created Chang'an. Paper.”
"In recent months, I have been obsessed with calligraphy and can't help myself!"
There was a dead silence in Judu Palace!
After dozens of breaths, Kuang Yong sighed sadly: "Ugh! What can I do!"
Tian Jia forced himself to cheer up and said: "But it's okay."
“Only 20% of the newly attached lands are left, and among them there are old Qi lands like Judu. Even if they have been in Chu’s hands for many years, they should still be loyal to me.”
"As long as you and I are more careful, the past will not happen again!"
"And after being reminded by Dr. Kuangdu, I discovered that the Chu army looked strong, but was actually weak."
"And after being reminded by Dr. Kuangdu, I discovered that the Chu army looked strong but was actually weak."
The Chu army trapped five cities in a row, which exposed this point even more!"
Kuang Yong felt that he could not keep up with Tian Jia's thinking, and couldn't help but ask: "Why did General Tian have such an idea?"< br>
Tian Jiajie pointed to Kun Yutu and said: "If the Chu army is really as exhausted as Dr. Kuangdu said, then the Chu army should attack the cities one by one instead of being trapped in many cities."
"I thought that the Chu army's successive siege of Xiapi and other cities was actually a tactic based on suspicion of soldiers!"
Kuang Yong felt increasingly confused: "A tactic of suspicion of soldiers?"
Tian He smiled with false confidence: "Last year, I accompanied Lord Qin Chang'an to the northern expedition to Zhao State, and saw Lord Qin Chang'an carrying out this strategy."
" Lord Qin Chang'an deployed some troops and horses in every city along the way. He also pretended to be the main force, besieging the cities one after another and cutting off communications, in order to confuse the soldiers and horses in the city."
"Then, he led the main force all the way north to attack Zhao and rescue them, and also ordered the subsequent siege soldiers and horses to help each other. , and finally win!”
"How similar is the strategy of the Chu army today to that of Lord Chang'an of Qin?"
"As long as my army goes south, we can relieve the difficulties of the cities, and then block the retreat of the Chu army, and catch the turtle in the urn!"
>
Kuang Yong frowned: "Qin Chang'an took such a strategy to capture Handan City quickly."
"If the Chu army took such a strategy, what would they do?"
< br>Tian Jia held a wooden stick and pointed at Mulengguan: "I thought this was the place!"
"The Chu army is definitely going to seize Muling Pass and the Great Wall of Daqi to trap our army!"
Kuang Yong had to admit that Tian Jiayue had some truth.
But Kuang Yong always felt something was wrong.
For generals, intuition is a very important factor in judgment.
So Kuang Yong said in a deep voice: "Doctor Ponti still believes that our army should stick to and control the newly attached territory."
"Instead of taking the initiative to attack!"
"If General Tian insists on his opinion, Judu soldiers and horses will not cooperate with General Tian to send troops."
Tian Jia stood up and said: "Doctor Kuangdu's concerns are not It makes no sense."
"The king sent 400,000 troops to this general."
"And I have obtained the true biography of Qin Changan, no less than that of Chu Shangzhu Guoyan!" br>
"Doctor Kuangdu will lead Judu's soldiers and horses to guard the territory."
"When I, the general, lead my Qi army to kill the Shangzhu Kingdom of Chu!"
