I’m The King Chapter 1007: :Huanghuang Hanwei (131)
Tian Jingwen stood in front of the map, frowning. On the map, the shocking red almost occupied most of the entire map, and these red areas represented that the area had fallen into the hands of the Han army. Jimo, Judu , Most of Pinglu has now been occupied by the Han army, and the area that is really controlled by the Qi State, only Linzi and Gaotang are left, but they are self-contained, and their attitudes are ambiguous. It's hard to put much trust in it. Gao Tang Marquis Bai Cheng was willing to go to Linzi for defense, and Tian Jingwen also nodded in agreement, because he felt that the family letter would be placed in Linzi, where Linzi Guards and Palace Imperial Guards would watch together , on the contrary, it is easier to control. If Bai Cheng stays in Gaotang, maybe he will bite back at some point.
Pinglu must be defended, otherwise Linzi will be attacked several times. Now that the Han Southern Field Army has occupied Judu, they can drive straight into Zhangjiadian area. The army will be able to attack Boshan District, and at that time Linzi will really be defenseless.
But with the troops in my hand, how can I resist the opponent's attack?
If the Han army does not move, it will be enough, and if it moves, it will be a 100,000 army. The plot of Qi Yuan is premeditated and well prepared!
The two groups of troops are both over 50,000 strong troops, how can I resist? Tian Jingwen only felt a severe headache.
In the past two years since returning to China, Tian Jingwen has supported the overall situation above the military alone. However, he is already in his thirties, and his whole body looks ten years older than his actual age. It can be said that he is mentally and mentally exhausted.
The Eldest Young Master started to recruit soldiers again in Linzi. He said he was recruiting, but he was actually recruiting soldiers. In the past, he still kept the principle of recruiting soldiers only, but now, he doesn’t care about these things, as long as he is of the right age Yes, they will be conscripted into the army. Here, of course, forced arrest and forced recruitment are indispensable. I heard that in order to avoid military service, many young and strong families in Linzi have already started to flee.
The people have no heart to fight!
Tian Jingwen knows that Han’s conspiracy is indispensable here. Over the past few years, the various compensations Han has extorted from Qi have emptied Qi’s treasury, and in order to maintain the army and combat expenses, the court We can only continue to increase food and taxes, and the area where food and taxes can be collected is getting smaller and smaller. Under the vicious circle, the people are eccentric and naturally born.
Economic oppression, military oppression, the two-pronged approach of the Han Dynasty, the effect can be described as obvious.
In addition to these, the Supervisory Council of the Han State is also pervasive. Through various channels, countless secret agents have sneaked into the Qi State, spreading the benefits of the Han State everywhere, telling the people of the Qi State that the people of the Han State have free land and Extremely low taxes, no corvee, no apportionment, these words, no one believed at first, but as time passed, there were always courageous people who fled to Han through some secret channels, and after they escaped, the information they brought back was again and again. Let more people know the true situation of Han, making the people of Qi more unstable.
Tian Jingwen knows that what these elaborations say is true, because he has stayed in Han for a long time, but he is also very clear that Qi cannot imitate the national policies of Han, at least for now, at all Impossible to imitate.
He is very worried now that both Jimo and Ju have fallen into the hands of Han. According to Han's consistent policy, the next step is to divide land into households, and the government will give low-interest loans to private households. In order to buy people's hearts, they will even Allocate cattle and horses and other livestock for the common people for free. Anyway, these are very convenient things for the Han Dynasty. The prairie can provide them with as much as they want. Once Jimo and Ju began to implement these policies, the imperial court has not The information that has been blocked so far can no longer be hidden. Tian Jingwen can even imagine that a large number of Linzi people will flee.
Qi, is it really about to perish?
"General Tian." A voice sounded from the door of the tent, Tian Jingwen raised his head and said in surprise, "Master Niu, didn't you go back to Linzi?"
Standing at the door of the tent is Niu Fuchen, who is in charge of intelligence work in the Qi State, and behind him, there is another person wearing a cloak.
"I was going back to Linzi, but when I encountered an important matter, I came back. I brought a person, who might be able to solve the predicament our Qi country is facing now."
"Who?" Tian Jingwen glanced at the hooded man behind him.
The man took off his cloak and revealed his true face: "General Tian, let's meet again?"
"Bianyang?" Tian Jingwen was really taken aback.
"The world is really unpredictable!" Bianyang sighed as he walked in: "Not long ago, you sent Master Niu to ask me to stop the war and stop the war. Time has passed, but I have come to ask you to take me in!"
"Please take me in?" Tian Jingwen's eyes flickered, and he turned to look at Niu Fuchen.
Niu Fuchen smiled and dragged a chair, "General Bianyang, please sit down, General Tian, please sit down, and listen to me slowly."
The three of them sat down, Tian Jingwen greeted the guards to bring tea, and Niu Fuchen took a sip of tea, "I was about to return to Linzi, and I met intelligence personnel from Chu State. By the way, they are waiting for me there." ?” Niu Fuchen looked at Bianyang and asked with a smile.
"This is all arranged by General Qu Wan." Bian Yang bowed.
"At first, when I heard this request, I was also taken aback and couldn't believe it, but I thought, this might also be an opportunity for us Daqi. They went to General Bianyang's camp, thinking that I would be alone, and they wouldn't do anything to me. After I went there, I realized that they were not lying to me, but just like us, General Bianyang was also desperate .”
"How do you say that?"
"Three days ago, General Qu Wan broke through and returned to Linyi." Bian Rang said.
"Isn't Jucheng surrounded by tens of thousands of people from the southern fields of the Han Dynasty?" Tian Jingwen asked in surprise.
"They were indeed encircling there, but General Qu Wan cleverly used a clever plan. Not only did he break out of the encirclement, he also severely injured one of them before leaving, and then brought the main force back to Linyi safely." Bian Yang said proudly .
Looking at Bianyang's appearance, Tian Jingwen felt a little uncomfortable. Although he admired Yi Wan's wrist in his heart, he still couldn't help but sneered: "So General Bianyang became the abandoned army, or Say, General Qu Wan succeeded in using your troops in this breakout?"
"It's my honor to save the general without me!" Bianyang laughed.
"Okay, two generals, let's stop talking about these gossips, let's talk about cooperation!" Niu Fuchen watched the collision of words between the two generals, and quickly interjected to smooth things over: "General Bian Yang , Tell General Tian what you think!"
"Okay!" Bian Yang nodded: "General Tian, I am now a lone army, with no reinforcements outside and no food and grass inside. It can be said that I am on the verge of extinction. After a big loss, this fire must be vented on me, and with my current state, I can't last long, so I thought of you, we have a common enemy now, don't we?"
"But you people from Chu are also our enemies, don't you want to annex us too?" Tian Jingwen asked with a sneer.
"That's right!" Bianyang admitted frankly, "But I think that even if our two countries are going to war, it's not the current thing, because the Han army is coming, they will not only fight you, but also our Chu army , This is the basis of our cooperation. You are short of soldiers and well-trained soldiers, and I still have 25,000 fully armed and experienced soldiers, but I have no food, no supplies, and an arrow If one is missing, if the knife breaks, there will be one less bite. Therefore, as far as we are concerned, both sides will benefit from cooperation, and both will lose if divided.”
"How can I trust you, after I supplement logistics for you, you will try my best to fight for me?" Tian Jingwen asked back.
Bian Yang smiled, "General Tian, don't worry about this, even if I fight the Han army and destroy the whole army, I will never take a half step back. Is the real reason? General Tian, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
"Of course it's the truth!" Tian Jingwen said a little annoyed. "Since you said that if we cooperate, we will both benefit, so being open and honest is the most basic requirement."
"Okay, since General Tian wants to listen to the truth, don't be angry if I tell you, because my big Chu's desire to annex your Qi country will not be extinguished because of temporary setbacks. From our Chu country's point of view In the future, it will be easier to seize Qi from your hands than from the Han army, so we cannot let the Han army succeed, and I will do my best to prevent the Han army from occupying Linzi and then controlling the entire Qi state." Bian Yang said bluntly Honestly.
Tian Jingwen was so angry that he almost fell to the ground, grabbed the teacup he was sitting on with his backhand, and almost smashed it, but he held it back forcefully, and Niu Fuchen on the side also had an extremely ugly expression.
"Look, this is the truth. What I said should make General Tian believe that he will do his best in the next battle with the Han army!" Bian Yang spread his hands and shrugged.
"Okay, okay, in the eyes of you Chu people and Han people, I am a piece of fat, okay, I promise you, I would like to see who can eat me in one bite." Tian Jing Wen hurriedly stood up.
"So, General Tian has agreed!" Bianyang also stood up, "I will first garrison in Panjiayu, which is not a place to stay for a long time. After General Tian replenishes my supplies, I will retreat to defend the Zhang family. It is a mountainous area, and the Chu army I am leading has a lot of experience in fighting in mountainous areas. I dare to assure General Tian that if I stay in Zhangjiadian for a day, it is impossible for the Han army to cross Zhangjiadian. One direction depends on you, General Tian.”
Tian Jingwen stared at Bianyang for a long while, and finally stretched out his hand to him: "Well, an enemy in the open is better than an enemy hiding in a dark corner. Putting aside each other's positions, I am still very happy." Appreciate your frankness."
"I'm a soldier, not a politician!" Collaborate for mutual benefit."
"Although I am very disgusted with this kind of cooperation, I still want to say at this time, happy cooperation!"
Two hands are tightly clasped together, and two pairs of cold eyes are also colliding with each other. (To be continued)
