The strongest Marquis in history

Wang Qi asked, "How is the situation?"

With a smile on his face, Zhou Zishan said: "In Xiong Huai's camp, the grain found out is as much as 20 shi, which is at least enough for Xiong Huai's more than [-] troops for more than two or three months, and even cut down on food and clothing. , can support a longer period of time.”

"Now this batch of food has all become our supplies."

"Speaking of which, this is also Xiong Huai's arrogance."

"Xiong Huai thought that he would surely win when he arrived, so he made preparations for a long-term battle and brought sufficient supplies. Unexpectedly, he lost consecutive battles. He lost on the waterway and the Dabie Mountains, and all his supplies fell into the in our hands."

"In addition to food, the collected armor, knives, bows and arrows and other equipment are even more difficult to count. After all, the weapons used by a large number of soldiers are accumulated in the camp, and it cannot be counted in a short time."

"The most important thing is a batch of money."

"According to statistics, this batch of money is about 60 taels of silver. This batch of money should be used by Xiong Huai to reward soldiers and pay them."

Zhou Zishan said: "For us, if we win this battle, we won't suffer at all. With this sum of money, our current military pay is completely enough."

When Wang Qi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "This Xiong Huai really prepared everything for us. He is a good man! I just like a money-spreading boy like Xiong Huai, who will help us fight the war." .”

Zhou Zishan said: "That's true."

Wang Qi thought about it, and ordered: "The military achievements in the army are still being counted. For us, soldiers who have made meritorious service should be rewarded and punished clearly, and must be rewarded."

"The promotion of soldiers after meritorious service can be ignored for the time being, but since we have money, we can arrange it. It happens that 60 taels of silver have been collected, which is enough for arrangement."

"Military division, you are here to preside over this matter."

"Within today, we will make all the arrangements for the rewards. A large sum of money will be rewarded, and the soldiers will feel at ease, and they will all be very excited. The next battle will be smoother and smoother."

"Your Highness is wise!"

After Zhou Zishan said a word, he got up to make arrangements.

It involves rewards for meritorious service in the army and compensation for soldiers who died in battle. This is a big project. Zhou Zishan alone cannot make proper arrangements, and he needs to communicate with all the generals to get things done.

Chapter 746 The silver lining

Qichun County territory.

In a wide area, the army led by Xiong Huai finally stopped to rest.

Xiong Huai has woken up.

In fact, Xiong Huai woke up shortly after leaving the battlefield where the Changmen Mountain was fought.Then he pulled himself together and rode on by himself.From the beginning to the end, Xiong Huai, Li Jinglong and the others did not dare to stop and rest, after all, Qi's army had been chasing them.

In such a dangerous situation, even though Xiong Huai and his party were exhausted from running, and even the soldiers were complaining, they did not take a rest, but kept retreating.

After entering Qichun County and running for more than ten miles, Xiong Huai confirmed that there were no pursuers behind, and then ordered to stop and rest.At this time, the soldiers in the army were panting heavily, exhausted one by one.

Everyone collapsed on the ground, sweating profusely, in a state of embarrassment.

Xiong Huai's expression was also a little pale. He glanced at the soldiers lying on the ground in disarray and resting. After a while, he looked at Qu Ping beside him and said, "Prime Minister, we have lost this battle. What should we do?"

Before Qu Ping could speak, Sha Tuana said coldly: "King Chu, I haven't asked you why the two great masters of my Man God Sect are dead? How can you explain this matter to my Man God Sect. "

On the way back, he had already heard someone say it.

Wu Xian and Baili Changjia were killed, almost all of the more than [-] Wuxi elite soldiers were wiped out.

This is almost an unbearable loss for the Barbarian religion.

You must know that there are many first-class masters in the Barbarian God Sect, and there are also some masters.But the masters of the great master realm, that is, Wu Xian and Baili Changjia.After all, it is not easy to break through to the grand master.

But now, both of them are dead.

This is tantamount to the loss of extermination of religion.

In Xiong Huai's heart, he was holding his breath when he heard Sha Tu's guilt-like words.His anger surged, his eyes sharpened like a knife, and he said coldly: "Shatana, you ask this king, and this king will ask you again."

"Is the person you sent a Grand Master, a Grand Master, or two trash?"

"Obviously they were two great masters, but they were brutally beheaded by Wang Qi. Are the people of your Barbarian God Sect all useless? You question me, and I will ask you again."

"The three-way armies are interlocking. Even the soldiers and horses of your Wuxi Man line are the most critical part of this battle. But in the end, the Wuxi Man line's army was defeated, leading to the defeat of the entire army."

Xiong Huai said: "If you soldiers and horses of the Wuxi Man fight a little harder and win the victory, I don't have to think about retreating, and Wang Qi can't come back at all, Zhou Zishan will panic, and the army has already died. Chaos, how can there be today."

At this moment, Xiong Huai was venting his inner anger and berating wantonly.

He can't afford to offend Wang Qi.

Could it be that you can't afford to offend mere Shadana?

On Sha Tu's old cheeks, there was a touch of shock and anger, and even more confusion.

As the King of Chu said, both Wu Xian and Baili Changjia are masters of body training, invulnerable to swords and guns, and extremely powerful in combat.In addition, the six thousand Wuxi barbarian elite soldiers are all elite, with strong combat effectiveness, extremely powerful, how could they lose?

At that moment, Sha Tu couldn't figure it out either.

Xiong Huai snorted, and stopped talking to the muffled Shatana, he continued to look at Qu Ping, and said, "Prime Minister, what should we do now, after all, I am afraid that the alliance between Wei State and Chu State this time will not be able to shake Wang Qi's will." The foundation. On the contrary, no matter Chu State or Wei State, it is difficult to protect itself."

Qu Ping also frowned, because in the current situation, even if he was a wise man, he didn't know what to do?

Qu Ping is a chess player, and Zhou Zishan is also a chess player.

Both sides play chess separately.

The problem is, Qu Ping's plan, Zhou Zishan or Wang Qi, all clearly judged his strategy and responded early.What's more, Wang Qi and his men were able to kill two great masters without the presence of the great masters.

Simply unbelievable.

Therefore, even Qu Ping was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to deal with it.

Qu Ping was silent for a while before sighing: "Your Majesty, the only thing we can do now is to return to Qichun County to guard. Qichun County is the gateway of Jiangxia County. As long as Qichun County is guarded, the whole Jiangxia will be in our hands. If Qichun County is lost, we will not be able to defend Jiangxia with our current strength."

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "In this case, we can only rely on Qichun county guards."

Qu Ping turned his eyes, but looked at Shatana, and said: "Wu Xierlang suffered heavy losses for Shatana's sacrifice, and especially the two great masters of the Barbarian Sect, both died at the hands of Wang Qi. You are not welcome. Said, the reason for the defeat this time is because of Wang Qi. What's more, Wang Qi slaughtered the people of your barbaric sect, did you just swallow this breath?"

Shatana said hoarsely, "What do you mean?"

Qu Ping said: "My meaning is very simple. Satana sacrifices, arrange people to go back to the Wuxi tribe to spread the message, and recruit the rest of the Wuxi children who can fight. At least, recruit [-] elite soldiers."

"As long as there are [-] more elite soldiers, plus the king continues to recruit troops and mobilize the strength of Jiangxia County, we have a chance to block Wang Qi's attack. As long as we block Wang Qi, the Chu Kingdom will survive, then the next step, there is still a chance." A chance for revenge."

Qu Ping said: "If the state of Chu is destroyed, the Barbarian Cult will not be able to escape. Because no country can accept the Barbarian Cult except us, Chu."

Sadana's mind was spinning.

He naturally hated Wang Qi to the bone.

Because the two great masters of the Barbarian God Cult died at the hands of Wang Qi.It's just that although Shatana has hatred now, because after the death of the two great masters, Shatana is still a little scared, even a little worried.

Worried about continuing to resist Wang Qi, if the King of Chu loses in the future, how will the Wuxi tribe survive?

Qu Ping said: "Priest Shatana, if you are worried that you won't be able to stop Wang Qi, so that the future of the Wuxi Tribe will be miserable, then you are very wrong. As long as Wang Qi wins, you will not be given peace with the Barbarian Sect." Wuxi has a lot of opportunities. Therefore, you only have one choice now, and you have no other opportunities."

After Shatana heard it, he also nodded. He also knew some news about Wang Qi.With Wang Qi's temperament, it is impossible to let the Barbarian religion preach, and it will definitely kill them all.

He has to resist.

Shatana said solemnly: "Prime Minister Qu, I will immediately arrange for people to go back and dispatch [-] elite soldiers from the Wuxi tribe to join the battle."

A smile appeared on Qu Ping's face, and he said, "That's good."

Xiong Huai looked at Qu Ping, and there was a touch of approval on his face. If it wasn't for Qu Ping's words, it would be even more difficult for them to defend Qichun County without the [-] Ximan troops.

There was an extra force of Wuximan, even if the force of Wuximan hadn't arrived for the time being, at least Xiong Huai saw the hope of holding on.

Qu Ping turned to look at Xiong Huai, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we are now defending Qichun County to the death. Besides, there are still a batch of grain, grass, equipment, etc. in Qichun County. Besides, our masters are still there Yes, and Cai Heng is here again. We choose to stick to it now, and we have enough opportunities."

Xiong Huai nodded in agreement. After listening to Qu Ping's analysis, his heart became more at ease, and his flustered heart calmed down a little. He ordered Li Jinglong to quickly count the number of soldiers.

After some counting, Xiong Huai got the news, and felt a little depressed again.

The number of troops who followed escaped was less than 2.

The losses of this battle can be seen.

It is too big.

Xiong Huai was also helpless, he had no choice but to admit the loss, he led the people to rest for half an hour, and then the group continued on their way.All the way out, they didn't even have a meal, so they had to find villages and towns to supplement food.

The army set off in the direction of Qichun County.

Chapter 747 Wuxuan

Jibei Country, border of Lu County.

Cao's camp.

Before that, Cao Xuan mobilized more than [-] troops from the Wei State, and with the help of masters from the Great Chan Temple, he led the army to kill in a mighty manner.However, as soon as Cao Xuan arrived at the border, he found that the army of Qi State was following him, and instead of taking the initiative to defend, he launched a frenzied attack.

The armies of Wei State and Qi State fought at the eastern border of Lu County.

After this battle, the two sides fighting were evenly matched.

In fact, Cao Xuan's number of troops is slightly superior.The problem is that Qi's soldiers are all elite, and Qi's high-end combat effectiveness is not weak at all, making it impossible for Cao Jun to win.

Originally, Cao Xuan thought that with the two great masters, Wufa and Wuzhen, together with the stick monks of the Great Chan Temple and the rest of the monks of the Great Chan Temple, they would be able to crush the Qi State in terms of high-end combat power.

Unexpectedly, Qi State is stronger.

Although Wufa is strong, when facing Wang Zongxi and Wang Fu, he was directly suppressed, so he could only retreat into the army and use the army to resist.Wuzhen's strength is even stronger than Wufa's. He is a great master of the Great Zen Temple. Unfortunately, Wuzhen was suppressed everywhere in front of Qi Changsheng, and he was even injured after the fight.

The combat power of the grand master level was completely suppressed.

Among the masters who can heal the master realm, there are so many master master realm masters in the state of Qi, which makes the state of Wei fall into a disadvantage.If it weren't for Cao Xuan's army's strong combat effectiveness, strong soldiers and horses, well-prepared, it would definitely not be able to carry it.

After fighting in World War I, both sides suffered relatively large losses, and then each retreated.

Cao Xuan's side persuaded the Great Chan Temple, and once again asked the Great Chan Temple to mobilize more masters.After discussing with Wufa and Wuzhen, he agreed to Cao Xuan's request and arranged for someone to invite the abbot of the Great Chan Temple to come to the front line to deal with it.

The current Wei army is still waiting for news.

Fortunately, at this time, Qi State never came to attack, so Cao Xuan was relieved.

But Cao Xuan was still shocked in his heart.He and Wang Qi knew each other well. Wang Qi knew his strength, and he also knew the great masters of Qi, namely Qi Changsheng and Wang Fuzhi from Sanqing Temple, and Wang Zongxi who broke through to the great master realm.

Wang Qi's three great masters are all in the Yanzhou battlefield, which means that there are no Renmin grand masters in the Chu state battlefield in the south.Once encountering the great master of Chu State, how can Qi State resist?

What's more, the three great masters of Chu State are invincible.

I guess it's unstoppable.

Cao Xuan thought that the Qi State could not stop it, but he also believed that it was impossible for the Qi State to submit, nor would it be possible to voluntarily admit defeat.Wang Qi was not in the Yanzhou war zone, so he must have gone to the Chu State, and he had a plan.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Cao Xuan was studying.

Now when you come to the front to fight, there are people in charge of government affairs and military affairs, Cao Xuan doesn't need to take care of them, he just reads when he has free time.

This is Cao Xuan's habit.

When Cao Xuan was reading, the curtain of the camp tent was raised, but it was Cen Wen who stepped in and bowed to Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuandao: "Military Master, what's the matter?"

Cen Wen said: "King Wei, I have carefully considered the situation of this battle. Now Qi State has made it clear that it will go all out to deal with us. At this time, it may not be easy for us to directly defeat the opponent. I suggest , When the head abbot of the Great Zen Temple arrives, temporarily take the defense as the offense, and no longer attack."

After Cao Xuan thought for a while, there was a sharp light in his dark eyes, and he said slowly: "Military Master, why should we use defense as an offense? If we only have the current strength, it is best to use defense as an offense, after all Invincible head-on."

"But with the help of the Zen Temple again, our high-end combat power is enough to overwhelm the Qi country. And our military strength is also superior to the opponent's. Why not fight?"

"The most important thing is that we have so many troops stationed here all the time, and we have to consume a lot of food every day. If the time is prolonged, it will be bad for us."

"Our Wei State's logistics has been facing a great test. Wei State is not Qi State, and does not have Qi State's food heritage. Qi State can fight for a long time, but we cannot afford such consumption."

"Of course there is another point, that is, the victory or defeat of the Wei State in this battle cannot be entrusted to the Chu State."

"If Chu State wins, it will be the best, and it will help us in this battle. Once Chu State loses, the situation will be different. If all hope is placed on Chu State, when Chu State is defeated, where should we go?"

Cao Xuan talked eloquently, and said: "So this king believes that we have no choice at the moment. We can only rush forward, and we can only strive to destroy Qi. Otherwise, we will pin all our hopes on Chu. Seek fish along the tree."

Cen Wen hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed: "Wei Wang is wise!"

Cao Xuan glanced at Cen Wen, and said: "Military Master, if you have any thoughts, just say it. I believe that it is impossible for you not to think of what this king just said. Why did you say that you should use defense as an offense?"

Cen Wen said: "King Wei, I am worried."

Cao Xuan said, "What are you worried about?"
