It has been a month since Zhao Kang sent out troops to attack Qi. The fighting here was fierce, and the news naturally spread to other people's ears.
The state of Zhou was very nervous at this moment. The state of Qian sent troops too quickly, and he didn't even send a message.
This is downright despicable!
If this bastard had attacked not the Qi State but our Zhou State, wouldn't we also be in trouble now?
But judging from the news coming back now, it seems that the weak Qi State cannot hold on for too long!
It is estimated that the situation will be over in just one year. By then, will Qian Guo and Jing Guo turn around and attack our Zhou State?
Therefore, there was a lot of quarrel in the Zhou Dynasty court these days, just about one thing.
Do you want to send troops to aid Qi?
Send troops to offend the country of Qian.
If you don't come out, maybe Zhou will also face today's situation in the future.
Even a three-year-old child of Zhou Guo, who had a strong writing style, knew this truth: Lips die and teeth become cold, but before.
Only Qian Guo and Jing Guo would mention this, because they are the weakest.
I never thought that one day our Zhou and Qi states would be reduced to a state of despair!
Li Muyi looked at the quarrel among the officials in the audience. Except for the first sentence, he didn't say a word. He just watched the civil and military officials spitting at each other like they were watching a monkey show.
This scene is also very interesting.
Don't these guys know that whether or not to send troops is ultimately just a matter of their own words?
Cao Anguo, the Minister of Rites, was probably too lazy to spit, and turned directly to Li Muyi, "Your Majesty, I believe that we must send troops to assist Qi at this moment, otherwise if Qi destroys Qian and Jing in the future, I will be the target of Qian and Jing!"
"That's easy to say!"
Chen Shangyun, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, snorted, "How many soldiers do we have in Zhou Dynasty who can go to the battlefield now? Isn't it just asking for death to fight against Qian Guo now?"
"In your opinion, Your Majesty should let the Qian Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom fight to the death and both sides will suffer losses. When the time comes, the Zhou Kingdom will wait for the opportunity, and the Qian Kingdom will finally conquer Qi."
What about the country?”
"Can he still be intact? Then that's our chance!"
"Opportunity? Mr. Chen may have forgotten what General Wu Xiong said about the cannon weapons that Qianjun has!"
"With this weapon here, where should we look for opportunities?"
A general said coldly, "It's time for you to open your eyes and see clearly what era we are in now! Ever since Qian Guo invented black powder, today's battlefield is no longer decided by the cavalry!"
"It just so happens that Qian Guo's research on black gunpowder is so good. If we still think that the cavalry is invincible, maybe Qian Guo's artillery will hit our Zhou Guolai tomorrow!"
"That's right! The current situation is like this. No matter who among the four countries faces the Qian Kingdom, the chance of losing is more than 70%. If we join forces to fight against the Qian Kingdom, we may still have a chance of winning!"
Three against one, Chen Shangyun was instantly at a disadvantage. He couldn't find any words to refute for a while, so he could only mutter, "He has cannons, but we don't have thunderbolt cars!"
Unexpectedly, Li Muyi said at this time, "The battle in Huajing City has proven that my thunderbolt chariot is not as good as the cannon."
Chen Shangyun felt as uncomfortable as eating fly excrement at this moment.
"That's all, let's end the discussion today and withdraw from the court."
Too lazy to continue watching the monkey show, Li Muyi directly announced his resignation from the court, patted his butt and left, leaving behind a group of confused civil and military ministers.
"Oh no, what on earth do your majesty think?"
"I don't know. Until now, I have never guessed what he was thinking."
"Should he fight or not?"
While everyone was talking about it, Li Muyi had already returned to the imperial garden and leaned back on the lounge chair.
Looking up at the sky, no one could guess what he was thinking, but it was actually very simple.
Li Muyi
All he was thinking about was how to prevent Zhao Kang from hitting him.
It sounds funny, but it's true.
But now it seems that this simple thing is not so easy to accomplish.
Judging from Wu Xiong's introduction to the cannon, with this kind of weapon, Qi State may not be able to survive the offensive of Qian State for half a year.
Li Muyi was not optimistic about Zhou State, which had a larger territory.
So these days the court hall has been arguing about whether to send troops, and he just wanted to laugh.
It would be nice if they don't attack us, but these guys actually want to send troops to attack them.
The key point is still the gunpowder.
If we don't bury more gunpowder outside the customs, who will blow it up? But we can't afford to do such a large-scale project once.
It would be bad if Zhao Kang saw it out.
"If I had known earlier, I should have waited for Zhao Kang to help me instead of listening to Prince Ning's nonsense."
Li Muyi laughed, but now he was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off.
After leaning for a while, Li Muyi stood up and said, "I tell you that all states will start recruiting troops today. Within half a year, each state must recruit 100,000 troops."
The Zhou Kingdom had a total of twenty states, and its territory was so large that it occupied one-third of the entire northern land, and the remaining two-thirds were the Three Kingdoms of Qi, Qian, and Jing.
If a state recruits 100,000 soldiers, that is a full army of two million people. Just hearing it is a reassuring number.
…
The rumbling artillery fire sounded continuously, and the Qi army fell one after another before they could even reach Qian's army.
When the sound of artillery fire stopped, it meant that the Qi army was defeated.
It is hard to imagine that such an army would appear in the world. It would be easier for them to kill than to eat and drink.
I have to chew twice before swallowing my meal.
In ten days, it has been ten days since I fought against Ganjun. From the confidence at the beginning to the shock and surprise later,
To the present panic.
Xu Hu, the state herdsman, and the three generals had no idea what to do. They tried their best to defend the city.
But Qian's army bombed their city directly.
When they got angry, they wanted to fight to the death with Qian Jun. The battle was fought, but they were the ones who died.
After ten days of fighting with an army of 100,000, there are now only more than 20,000 left. Even if you think about it, you know that Yongzhou cannot be defended.
At this moment, Xu Hu and the others finally knew how Yongzhou fell at the feet of Qian Jun.
Who the hell is commanding such a perverted army?
Who did it?
God, please strike that guy with lightning! Otherwise, we won’t be able to play anymore!
"How about retreating?"
One person suddenly said, and the others looked at him. This person said excitedly, "These guys are simply devils! We are no match for them!"
"Yes, sir, we can't defeat them at all! The three generals are surrounded now, and we can only stare! It's better to run, sir!"
After listening to everyone's words, Xu Hu yelled angrily, "Shut up! Retreat? Where else can we retreat! Retreat to Shengjing? Then we will continue to fight with them! Then why retreat!"
Listening to Xu Hu's scolding, everyone lowered their heads in shame.
"I understand, sir, you are right! We must not retreat! We must fight them to the end!"
"Fight to the end!"
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment and looked at the group of subordinates excitedly. After a long while, he said, "You... misunderstood."
"My idea is that instead of retreating and facing off against the Qianjun again, it's better to surrender. I don't want to be their enemy anymore. I can't fight at all, so I surrendered."
Everyone’s eyes changed, damn! I thought he was a good guy.
My brother just wants to escape. It would be better for you, the boss, to surrender directly, right?
