Chapter 82 Sleeping on firewood and tasting gall 4
Su Qin shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Although what the prince said is true, everything is still safe and more appropriate. Moreover, the two famous generals of Sun Wu and Wu Zixu were able to defeat the Chu army."
Su Qin didn't go on talking about it, but the meaning of the words is very clear. That is, although the national strength of the State of Yan is increasing day by day, it suffers from unscrupulous generals in the army, and there is not much chance of winning the war with the Qi army. It was only because the general was robbed here, so Su Qin did not talk about it.
But when he heard it, he refused to give up. The fierce light flashed in his eyes. He strode forward and knelt down and roared, "King, riding robbery has been in the army since childhood, following the second generation of kings, and now there has never been a defeat. Since Xiangbang despised us Yan generals, he also asked the king to order me to fight against the State of Qi. If I can't win, the last general is willing to come to see him.
Su Qin was already in a bad feeling at this time. He felt that the prince and the cavalry seemed to be prepared, and quickly opened his mouth to dissuade him. "General Qi laughed. Now that our state of Yan and the state of Qi are in harmony, we have been at peace for more than ten years. If we rush to war, there is no suitable reason for the people will be puzzled. What's more, the Qi army is strong, and with the help of Han and Wei, I, the Yan army, may have no chance of winning.
Ji Lezi said, "Sangbang seems to have forgotten that now the main force of the Qi army is peeping at the customs at the Hangu Pass. The domestic emptiness is extremely empty, which is a good opportunity given by God. If a general is sent to attack the State of Qi, it will inevitably be like a bamboo shoot. When the Qi army rushes back to the army, the overall situation has already been decided. At that time, even if we couldn't destroy Qi, we could take all the river land in the north of the State of Qi, which made the State of Qi suffer heavy losses and avenge us.
"As for the State of Wei and South Korea, there is no need to worry. The reason why Han Wei will be attached to the State of Qi is nothing more than that they are forced by the State of Qin and have to be driven by the State of Qi to attack Qin together. Now that the Hangu Pass has been completed, the tentacles of the State of Qin extending to Guandong have been cut off. Do you really think that South Korea and the Wei National Assembly are working hard for the State of Qi? I'm afraid that at that time, I was also watching on the wall and supporting the soldiers to wait and see. The State of Zhao and our State of Yan are interdependent, and the State of Qin and my father are close relatives. If our State of Yan attacks Qi, the State of Qin and the State of Zhao will not stand idly by. Such a big picture can be determined.
(PS: Today, the king of Qin Ji is the youngest son of the king of Qin Hui, and the mother of the king of Yan is the daughter of the king of Qin Hui, so the king of Qin is the half-uncle of the king of Yan, although Ji is ten years older than Ying Ji... This kind of thing was very common in the Warring States Period)
As soon as Ji Lezi's voice fell, the robbery had already said loudly: "Wang, please let the last general lead the army go straight to the hinterland of the State of Qi, and it will be a shame of our State of Yan in those years."
Ji Lezi and Qijie's words moved Ji's job. Even Su Qin had to admit that Ji Lezi's words did have some truth. Now the main force of the Qi army is hanging abroad, and the country is extremely empty. If the State of Yan invades at this time, it will definitely catch the State of Qi unprepared. It is not impossible to repeat the destruction of the State of Chu in those years.
But the problem is that this is too risky. If you are not careful, the hard work of the State of Yan for more than ten years will be invastated.
Ji's face was uncertain, and his face was complicated. Obviously, he was hesitating. He looked at Su Qin with an inquiring look. Su Qin sighed slightly in his heart, but he still gently persuaded: "After all, the State of Qi has been a great country for hundreds of years. Although the main force is isolated abroad, the domestic population is dense, and it is not difficult to temporarily mobilize a large army to defend the city. If our war is not going well, once it is delayed for a long time, and when the main force of the Qi army returns to the division to counterattack, it will be a big deal. The new defeat of the State of Qin has ceded the land of Hedong to Han and Wei for peace. In a short period of time, there may be no power to fight again. The State of Zhao is attacking Zhongshan with all its strength and has no time to take care of each other. Besides, Lord Zhao's father has no intention of fighting with the State of Qi, so it may not be easy to count on Qin and Zhao to help each other.
Ji Lezi snorted coldly, "Before and after are afraid of tigers, Xiangbang is so timid and cautious, how can he achieve great things? As long as we can occupy the land of Hebei in the State of Qi, even if the Qi army returns to China, we can only look at the river and sigh across the river.
Then he looked at Ji's post and stepped forward and said loudly, "Father, please make up your mind. If such a good opportunity is missed in vain, I don't know what year and month I will wait for next time. Father, you have taught your children and ministers since you were a child. Those who have achieved great things since ancient times are all people with perseverance. They kill them immediately and decisively, so that you can be a hero among people. Why are you hesitant today? Is it possible that you want to let the State of Yan be humiliated for another decade or a hundred years, and be ashamed of the people of the world! When my son ascends to the throne, he should also bear endless humiliation.
Ji's body was shocked. Obviously, his son's last words moved him. Indeed, he can't wait endlessly. The opportunity can't be missed. It won't come again. He should make a decision immediately.
"Riding Robbery."
"The last one." Ride the robbery and take the order loudly.
"If I worship you as a general, I can lead the army to the south to attack. If it is not defeated, the military law will deal with it."
"No." Qi Jie said with an excited face.
"Su Xiang."
"I'm here."
Ji looked at him with apologetically and said euphemistically, "Please gather our army of the State of Yan as soon as possible with Dr. Zou and the drama general. This time, I will come out of the country and swear to fight to the death with the State of Qi!"
Su Qin sighed slightly in his heart, but he already knew that things could not be done, so he had to take the order silently: "I take the order."
......
The powerful attack of the State of Yan against the State of Qi soon began. After 14 years of hard work, the State of Yan was no longer the dilapidated small country in those years. The sudden attack of the 200,000 elite Yan army caught a small number of defenders defending in the north of the State of Qi unprepared. In the past ten years, in order to endure development, the State of Yan has always been very respectful to the State of Qi. Every year, the tribute is far above all countries. Over time, the State of Qi has gradually relaxed its vigilance against the State of Yan, which made the Yan army so easy to win.
Under the large-scale attack of the Yan army, the State of Qi really did not support it. It lost the land between rivers, lost the land of the city, and fled all the way to the south. Seeing that he won so easily, he was immediately overjoyed. Despite the general's dissuasion, he was determined to cross the river and go straight to the hinterland of the State of Qi, trying to take the opportunity to make a world-class achievement.
The invasion of the Yan army made Mengchang Juntian Wen, who was in Hanguguan, very angry. He soon agreed to the conditions of seeking peace in the State of Qin and gave up the idea that he wanted to beat the State of Qin fiercely. He just made a hastily contract and returned the Baili land east of Hangu Pass to South Korea and Wei, and then returned Hangu Pass to the State of Qin. Then he hurriedly led the main force of 200,000 Qi troops back to China.
At this time, the progress of the Yan army was not smooth. The tenacious resistance of the Qi people far exceeded the estimate of Ji. As predicted by Su Qin, the foundation of a great country for hundreds of years was indeed difficult to shake. The mentality of the great power of the Qi people was full, how could they succumb to the small state of Yan? The Yan army continued to suffer setbacks in the high city, and there was no progress for half a month. In order to avoid the back road being cut off by the returning Qi army, the cavalry had to retreat in a hurry. They wanted to withdraw to Hebei to protect themselves, but they were intercepted by the recovered Qi army halfway and hurriedly responded to the battle.
After the first round of the melee, the Yan army was defeated, and countless soldiers were killed and injured. Most of the 200,000 troops were scattered. They hurriedly retreated all the way to the north. It was not until they retreated into Yanjing that they were able to collect the remnants and got 100,000 troops. They quickly reported to the position of Yan Wangji in Jicheng and asked him to send troops to the south to support.
Meng Changjun Tianwen, who successfully expelled the Yan army from the country, refused to give up. He has always been the country of Qi bullying others. He has never been beaten by others, let alone the little Yan country.
After being supplemented by domestic reinforcements, the Qi army totaled 300,000 troops, with Xiangbang Tian Wen as the commander and went north. At the same time, Tian Wen passed on to the king of Wei and the king of Han as the joint commander, and asked him to attack the State of Yan to divide the land equally.
The army of Qi in the north fought against the Yan army in the Qing River. The Yan army was defeated again and retreated into the hinterland to defend the city. The Qi army continued to go north aggressively, with a momentum that the State of Yan would not give up. Yan Wangji had no choice but to send a messenger to take a lot of money to ask for peace with the State of Qi. At the same time, he sent the prince to the State of Zhao to visit the father of Zhao in person and begged the master to intervene.
