I’m The King

Tian Jingwen frowned and stood in front of the map. On the map, the shocking red occupies almost half of the entire map, and these red areas represent that the area has fallen into the hands of the Han army, Jimo, Judu, and Pinglu. Most of them are now occupied by the Han army.The area that is really controlled by the Qi State is only left with a Linzi and a Gaotang, but it is a self-contained line, and the attitude is ambiguous, and it is difficult to contemplate. What a high level of trust. Gaotang Hou Baicheng was willing to go to Linzi to defend, Tian Jingwen also nodded in agreement, because he felt that it would be easier to put this family letter in Linzi, with the Linzi guards and the imperial guards watching together. Take control, if Bai Cheng stays in Gaotang forever, maybe he will bite back sometime.

Pinglu must be guarded, otherwise Linzi will be attacked on several sides. Now that the southern field army of the Han Kingdom has occupied Judu, it can drive straight into the Zhangjiadian area, and if Pinglu is lost, the opponent's new first army will be able to Infiltrating Boshan District, Linzi was really undefended at that time.

But with this little man in his own hand, one point on both sides, how can he withstand the opponent's attack?

If the Han army doesn't move, it will be a hundred thousand army, and the plot of the country is high, it can be said that it has been premeditated and prepared!

The two men and horses are both powerful troops of more than 50,000. How can I resist it? Tian Jingwen only felt a lot of pain for the first time.

In the two years since returning to China, Tian Jingwen has supported the overall situation in the military alone, but he is already in his 30s. He looks like a dozen years older than his actual age, which can be described as exhausted.

The eldest son once again started recruiting troops in Linzi. He said it was a recruit, but he was actually catching a recruit. In the past, recruiting still maintained the principle of not drawing alone, but now, where can he take care of these, as long as he is of the right age, he will Being conscripted into the army, here, it is of course indispensable to forcefully arrest and conscript. It is said that in order to avoid military service, many young people in Linzi's families have begun to flee.

The people are not wary!

Tian Jingwen knows that Han's conspiracy is indispensable here. In the past few years, the various compensation silvers that Han has extorted from Qi have emptied Qi's treasury, and in order to maintain the army and combat expenses, the court can only continue The land adds food and gifts, and the areas where food and gifts can be collected are getting smaller and smaller.Under the vicious circle, the people are centrifugal and born naturally.

Squeezing economically and oppressing militaryly, the two-pronged approach of the Han State has achieved obvious results.

In addition to these, the Han State Supervisory Office is also pervasive. Through various channels, countless meticulous works have sneaked into the Qi State, publicizing the benefits of Han in various places, and telling the people of Qi that the people of Han have free fields and extremely low prices. Taxation, no corvee, and no apportionment. No one believed these words at first, but as time goes by, there are always courageous people who fled to Han through some secret channels. After they fled, the information they brought back made more The people in Han learned about the real situation in Han, which made Qi national heart more unstable.

Tian Jingwen knows that all these details are true, because he has been in Han for a long time, but he also knows very well that the national policy of Han cannot be imitated by Qi. At least for now, it is impossible to go. imitate.

He is now very worried that Jimo and Ju have all fallen into the hands of Han. According to Han's consistent policy, the next step must be to allocate land to households, and the government will give low-interest loans to households. In order to buy people's hearts, they will even give the people free of charge. Allocation of cattle and horses and other livestock, anyway, these are extremely convenient things for Han, and the prairie can provide them as much as they need. Once Jimo, Ju began to implement these policies. For the past two years, the court has been trying to blockade These intelligences can no longer be hidden, Tian Jingwen can even imagine that a large number of people in Linzi will flee.

Qi country, is it really going to be subjugated?

"General Tian." At the entrance of the account, a voice rang, Tian Jingwen raised his head and said in surprise: "Master Niu, haven't you returned to Linzi?"

Standing at the door of the tent was Niu Fuchen, who was in charge of intelligence work in Qi State.Behind him, there was another person wearing a cloak.

"I was going back to Linzi, but I came back again when I encountered an important thing temporarily. I brought a person, and maybe I can solve the plight we are facing now in Qi."

"Who?" Tian Jingwen glanced at the man with the hood behind him.

The man took off his cloak and revealed his true colors: "General Tian, ​​have we met again?"

"Blank soil?" Tian Jingwen was truly taken aback.

"The world is really unpredictable!" Bian Yang sighed as he walked inward: "Not long ago, you sent Mr. Niu to beg me to stop the war. Time has passed, but I have to come and beg you to take it in!"

"Please take me in?" Tian Jingwen's eyes flashed and turned to look at Niu Fuchen.

Niu Fuchen smiled and dragged a chair, "General Bianyang, please sit down, General Tian, ​​sit down too, listen to me slowly."

The three of them sat down, Tian Jingwen greeted the guards to bring tea, Niu Fuchen took a sip of tea, "On my way back to Linzi, I ran into an intelligence officer from Chu State. So, where are they waiting for me?" Niu Fuchen Looking at Bianyang, he asked with a smile.

"These are all arrangements made by General Qu Wan." Bian Yang leaned back.

"At first, when I heard this request, I was shocked and couldn't believe it, but I thought that this might be an opportunity for us. After all, we are already exhausted, so I boldly followed them. General Bian’s camp wanted to come to me alone, and they wouldn’t do anything to me. After I went there, I realized that they were not slandering me, but just like us, General Bianyang was desperate."

"But what do you say?"

"Three days ago, General Qu Wan broke out and returned to Linyi." Bian Yang said.

"Isn't Jucheng surrounded by tens of thousands of people from the South of the Han Dynasty?" Tian Jingwen asked in surprise.

"They were indeed surrounded there, but after General Qu's clever tricks, they not only broke through, they also severely damaged one of them before leaving, and then returned to Linyi with the main force safely.'' Bian Yang said proudly.

Seeing Bianyang's appearance, Tian Jingwen felt a little uncomfortable. Although he admired the surrendered wrist in his heart, he still couldn't help but sneered: "So General Bianyang became the lone army that was abandoned, or in other words, Qu In this breakout, the general used your troops to succeed?"

"It is an honor for me to leave me and save the general!" Bian Yang said with a smile.

"Okay, the two generals, let's not talk about these gossips, let's talk about cooperation!" Niu Fuchen watched the verbal collision between the two generals, and hurriedly interjected to round the ground: "General Bianyang, you Xiang Tian The general, tell me 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 to be on the verge of desperation. Nanye opposite me suffered a big loss from General Qu. , This fire definitely wants to vent on me. With my current state, it won’t last long. Therefore, I thought of you. We now have a common enemy, don’t we?"

"But you Chu people are also our enemies. You also want to annex us, don't you?" Tian Jingwen asked with a sneer.

"Not bad!" Bian Yang admitted frankly. "But I think that even if there is a war between our two countries, it is not what it is now. Because the Han army is here, they will not only fight you, but also our Chu army. That's it. It is the basis of our cooperation. You lack soldiers and well-trained soldiers, and I still have 25,000 fully armed soldiers with rich combat experience, but I have no food and grass, no supplies, and one arrow is missing. If a knife breaks a bite, one bite is lost. Therefore, for us, we will benefit from cooperation, and we will lose if we divide."

"How can I trust you? After I supplement the logistics for you, you will do your best to fight for me?" Tian Jingwen asked rhetorically.

Bian Yang smiled," General Tian, ​​please rest assured, even if I defeated the entire army in the subsequent battle with the Han army, the Chu army will not be left, and will never retreat half a step. As for the real reason. General Tian, ​​do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear the lie?"

"Naturally it is the truth!" Tian Jingwen was a little annoyed. "Since you said that we are mutually beneficial, then openness is the most basic requirement."

"Well, since General Tian wants to listen to the truth, don't be angry after I told you, because my heart that Da Chu wants to swallow you Qi Guo will not be extinguished because of temporary frustration. In our view of Chu, the future will be It is much easier for you to seize the Kingdom of Qi than to seize it from the Han army in the future. Therefore, we cannot let the Han army succeed. I will do my best to prevent the Han army from occupying Linzi and controlling the entire Qi state." Bian Yang said bluntly and honestly.

Tian Jingwen was so angry that he almost fell to the ground, grabbed the tea cup he was sitting on with his backhand, and almost smashed it over, but he abruptly held back it.Niu Fuchen on one side also had an extremely ugly expression.

"Look, this is the truth. When I say this, I should convince General Tian that he will do his best in the next battle with the Han army!" Bian Yang said with a shrug and shrugged.

"Okay, okay, in the eyes of you people of Chu and Han people, I am a piece of fat, okay, I promise you, I would like to see who can eat me all in one bite." Tian Jingwen stood in a hurry. Got up.

"That said, General Tian agreed!" Bian Yang also stood up. "I first garrisoned in Panjiayu, which is not a long-term place. After General Tian replenishes supplies for me, I will retreat to Zhangjiadian. There is a mountainous area, and the Chu army under my leadership is still very experienced in fighting in the mountainous area. I dare to assure General Tian that with me in Zhangjiadian for a day, the Han army will not be able to cross Zhangjiadian. As for the other direction, It's up to you, General Tian."

Tian Jingwen stared at the flat soil for a while, and finally reached out to him: "Well, an enemy in the open is better than an enemy hiding in a dark corner. Aside from each other's position, I still admire you very much. frank."

"I'm a soldier, not a politician!" Bian Yang said with a smile: "Simply straight to the point, sometimes we can gain mutual trust. Although we will be enemies in the past, present, and future, this does not prevent us from working for short-term common interests. Cooperation."

"Although I dislike this kind of cooperation, I still want to say, happy cooperation!"

The two hands were tightly held together, and the two pairs of cold eyes also collided. (To be continued)
