"Your Majesty, with Chen Tian as general, won the great victory in Henan. Now the families in the five capitals are unworthy, how can we desecrate ourselves? We can only follow Chen Tian's order to escort your coffin back to Zishui!"
When the monarchs of other countries died, most of them wore plain clothes. This was just because the state of Lu usually held funerals in plain clothes, while the state of Qi was naturally the opposite.
But now that things have come to a point, if you don’t want to be cautious, you have to be vegetarian!
Some were wearing hemp, or their heads were wrapped with hemp ropes. In short, the Qi army's position was filled with a sad atmosphere.
After losing the Marquis of Qi, a very fierce internal conflict broke out.
The powerful families of the five capitals themselves had fierce conflicts. Guan Fei, the highest official in charge of agriculture in Qi State, publicly expressed his break with Guan's warriors.
The Guan family had Lang officials in the five capitals of Qi State. At the same time, in the northern counties of Qi State, many officials of the Guan family served here.
With Guan Fei's call, Chen Tian, who originally planned to run away, was promoted to the position of marshal with an innocent look on his face.
According to the military system of Qi State, a marshal can command 10,000 troops, and five marshals form an army. During war, the marshal takes orders from the general; during peacetime, he is under the management of the five township marshals.
There are only three Wuxiang marshals in the entire Qi State. The Marquis of Qi actually holds the position of one Wuxiang marshal, and the other two are held by the Guo family and the Gao family respectively.
It is not without reason that the Gao family in Qiancheng Yi was able to extend their business to the Huaihe River Basin and to conquer the various tribes alone.
In terms of the military establishment of the entire Qi State, there are a total of fifteen townships, five of which are controlled by the Gao family, the Guo family, and the king. Coupled with the local security forces, this formed a relatively unique military system in the Qi State.
The difficult part in fighting a national war with Qi is here, because if Qi is not completely defeated, it is very likely that Qi will be able to survive.
Because Qi State is not so much a country as a large military region, but it just happened that a country called Qi State was built in this large military region.
Guan Fei of "Datian" rarely speaks on military issues on weekdays. The senior officials who are closely related to him are usually the five subordinate officials of Qi State. However, this time is different, very different.
Qi Hou's hiccups are a trivial matter, but the chaos after the hiccups is a big deal.
Guan Fei quickly broke up with the officials of Guan's family because he wanted to cut through the knot quickly. After cutting, these officials of Guan's family became abandoned sons.
Because judging from the previous internal turmoil, Qi State might be about to experience an unprecedented great purge, but before this great purge, the purge of the army will happen under the eyes of the people of Lu.
The young officers now believe that the Marquis of Qi was the one who was killed. In addition, the diplomatic negotiations coming from Qufu are completely different from the legends about the wealthy families in the Five Capitals. This makes the lower-level officers feel that their king is "dung".
"Hai Chang Yu" is really pitiful.
Obviously they want to make great achievements and follow the example of your Majesty to achieve unparalleled achievements. But now, they can only watch helplessly as all their previous efforts and a robbery in Henan have turned into a joke and turned into ashes.
Fortunately, your Majesty is wise and has long seen that the wealthy people in Wudu have ulterior motives, so he sent Guitian, a ruthless official from the state of Chen, to supervise the army.
The effect is remarkable and the results are brilliant!
Anyway, under the pressure of many young officers who were causing turmoil, although Chen Tian was a bit rigid, he was loyal, spoke up when he had something to say, never procrastinated, was straightforward, and had a very refreshing style of work.
It's just that it's not easy for low-level officers like them to let Chen Tian continue to work. Now the person in Qi's mouth is not sure who he is.
The crown prince has not been established, and there has been no appointment of a senior minister for a long time. Now there is only a junior minister, but the junior minister is nowhere to be found.
All the five great officials are in the country, and the most reliable ones at present are the Gao family and the Guo family, both of whom are from the same family.
However, Mr. Gao is also very confused. He still doesn't understand why such a huge change happened all of a sudden.
"This Chen Tian..."
Everyone in the Gao family in Qianchengyi was a little confused, "To use... or not to use it?"
"use!"
"How not to use it?!"
"This man was the king's minion during his lifetime. Most of the people in Wudu were killed or injured because of this man. The bones in the five ditches of Yangguan owe a share of this man's contribution."
The Gao family was also gnashing their teeth at Chen Tian. This bastard didn't regard the Qi soldiers as human beings at all. He would kill them at every turn and attack the city at every turn. The previous embarrassing situation of the Qi army was all caused by this man's blind command.
.
He also made the reputation of Zihe, the official of Zouyi, very great, which made the people of Qi even more embarrassed.
But the children of the Gao family have to admit that, now that they have fucked Chen Tian, they will only arouse the resentment of the soldiers. They will think that you, the children of the wealthy family, have not even let go of the loyal ministers appointed by the emperor.
Pass?
To oppose Chen Tian is to oppose the Marquis of Qi. It’s a subtle feeling, but that’s it.
As a result, after many big bosses sat down to negotiate, they quickly set the tone. Not only would Chen Tian continue to lead the army, but he would also be promoted to become a marshal.
So when Chen Tian was appointed, Chen Tian, who was collecting gold and silver, was confused.
He felt that he might not be a marshal, but be beheaded by the Qi people for barbecue.
It was only after he got the Seal Talisman that he regained his soul. How the hell could he be promoted?
When he was in the Chen Kingdom, he felt puzzled, lost his princess, and was promoted from sergeant to sergeant. Later, he was really afraid, fearing that he would be killed by the old Marquis Chen, so he simply ran away.
When he arrived in the Central Plains, he originally thought he would be impoverished, but after meeting a rich woman from Anyi, he was promoted to a higher level during his short life. The advantage of being handsome made Chen Tian pay great attention to taking care of himself.
But he never expected that he could actually make a living among the Qi army.
His past experience made the Marquis of Qi feel that he was a relatively pure person and could not possibly deceive the Marquis of Qi or the State of Qi.
And now...
The Marquis of Qi died. He should have died according to reason, but he was promoted again.
Guida, who cannot understand the changes in the world, feels that life's encounters are really full of surprises.
One day, he could actually command an army of 10,000 regular soldiers, and he was also able to control 10,000 troops of a hegemonic power!
Even though this hegemonic country is encountering unprecedented difficulties, it doesn't matter. He doesn't have to take responsibility anyway. He defeated the powerful one and lost the second one. That's it anyway. Since the people of Qi didn't kill him before, they can still do it now.
Just use the knife?
After figuring it out, Guida, who looked confused, happily took office. From now on, he will still be a sergeant, but he will be a marshal!
glory!
pride!
It was only a day and a half after I was so proud that the senior officials of Qi State held an emergency meeting and said that they wanted to escort the emperor's coffin back to the country as soon as possible.
Now, in addition to detaching a part of the troops to escort the coffin, another part of the troops must be sent to fight against the people of Lu.
The morale of the entire Qi army is now in question, and their will to fight is also very bad. The generals leading the army know it very well. If we cut off the rear at this time, wouldn't it mean death?
So they all said that Marshal Chen Tian was good at military affairs and was very famous back then. In this critical situation now, they can only rely on Marshal Chen Tian.
It's a normal routine, commonplace in all countries. To put it bluntly, I want the credit, and I will send you to death.
But Chen Tian was not angry. He was already a marshal anyway, so what was there to be angry about?
Moreover, Chen Tian had also thought about it. As long as the Lu people came to kill him, he would run away if something went wrong. What was he afraid of? If he could not outrun others, he would not be able to outrun the Qi people.
His legs have not been trained in vain over the years, and he has mastered very skilled running skills.
As a result, everyone in the Qi army was praising him, so he didn't feel uncomfortable with it; the big guys in the Qi army were trying to trick him, so he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
All in all, everything is fine.
When a group of big bosses, especially the "Loyal Lord Faction" headed by "Da Tian" Guan Fei, said to Marshal Tian, "Come on, come on," Gui Tian was still calm and seemed to have everything under control.
On the third day after the emergency meeting, the Lu army's strategy of attacking on all fronts had been spread to all the soldiers.
When many low-level officers saw this situation, they panicked and quickly asked their connections to find out what the superiors' attitude was.
Then many people inquired about the news, saying that the temporary general, Marshal Chen Tian, was planting flowers in the camp. He was busy watering, loosening the soil every day, and occasionally adding a little farmyard fertilizer. In short, he was very calm.
When the young man heard the news, he was overjoyed. What does it mean that Shangguan is so calm? It means that no matter how fierce the Lu army comes, it is not terrible.
Many of the big guys escorting the coffin of Marquis Qi also heard about this, so they sent people to ask Chen Tian, saying that the troops of the Lu State had crossed the river and were now confronting each other and were about to attack. What is your attitude?
?
Guitian, who was always ready to run away, did not tell the truth, but the messenger said righteously: "I was in Huai River, and I heard a saying in "Li Zi's Art of War": Fighting requires courage. Once you go strong, you will fail again.
, and they will be exhausted. Now the Lu army is approaching fiercely. I will avoid the edge for now. If we fight again tomorrow, we will definitely win."
The harsh words were loudly spoken, and since there was no need for money anyway, Gui Tian had already thought about running away at night. Given the current situation of the Qi State Allied Forces, if he continued to stay and break the line, he would really break the line.
However, in the evening, just as he was about to run away, young officers came to greet him. They said that they felt uneasy when they thought about the war tomorrow, so they came to say hello to the marshal...
After failing to escape, Gui Tian's face turned green, so he angrily issued an order that would definitely lead to death: attack Master Lu at night!
