Chapter 86 This is not destiny, but the wings of Luo
After Qi's army entered the border between the two countries, so many troops naturally would not all walk on one road, and several routes of advance were quickly planned.
The royal army of Qi State made a detour from Taihang Mountain on the left, while the army of Tian Chang family was in the main attack direction, responsible for attracting the main army of Yan State.
In addition, several noble families headed by the Great Prime Minister were on the right wing, and the other vassals followed their own lords to fight.
As for logistics, they must be deployed in a unified manner and the delivery of food and grass must be adjusted according to the direction of the three armies. All parties agreed to this because everyone wanted to cut off the food supply in order to achieve maximum casualties.
In the Yan army.
The ministers in the country said with despair and despair: "Your Majesty, now Qi has mobilized all its troops to attack us, what should we do?"
Yan Hou Wu Gou smiled without saying anything. Seeing his appearance, unintelligent people would be filled with anger. How could they still laugh after provoking such a huge disaster?
Smart people were curious about the mystery until the information about the Qi army reached the hands of the Marquis of Yan.
Not only the marching route, but also the distribution of troops, the number of equipment, and the location of grain routes, the current Qi army is basically transparent to the Yan State.
"this……"
"Haotian Su Wang is above..."
Everyone was dumbfounded at this weird scene. They opened their mouths but didn't know what to say. It was obvious that this thing was sent by the person who made the plan. The Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties had been at war for two thousand years, and it turned out that the enemy leader was a spy?
Who has ever seen such a scene?
Anyway, I haven’t seen it!
"Your Majesty, why is this happening?" Finally, the ministers of Yan State turned their attention to the Marquis of Yan. It was obvious that he had known about this matter for a long time.
Yan Hou Wu Gou smiled slightly, then suddenly became serious, threw out a piece of cloth with a map on it, and said loudly: "Let's talk about it after the matter is done. Gather the troops immediately and set up an ambush here."
In fact, when Luo Yu told him this, he was a little skeptical, but now the facts have really slapped him in the face.
Qi was one of the backings of Yan. In the Ji-Jiang alliance, Yan was dispensable to Qi. However, the Marquis of Yan relied on Qi and Luo for his existence. If something happened to Qi, Yan would not be able to escape. This made the Marquis of Yan very scared.
Luo Yu's words before he left still echoed in his ears, "Marquis Yan, the monarchs of the various countries must help each other, otherwise such things will happen again and again. You must also be careful in Yan State."
The Qi army divided into several groups and began to attack the Yan State, but the royal army only marched ten miles before heading towards the position of the Tian army.
Tian Chang led the army towards the designated location. At least they had to pretend for the first few days of the march. The best time to sell out teammates was during a battle, and Tian Chang was an old expert in this.
But he is still not insidious and shameless enough. Compared to escaping from the battle, ambush halfway is the most vicious.
When they reached a valley, Tian Chang looked at the towering cliff on the right and laughed loudly, "It's ridiculous that Yan Hou Wu Gou didn't know that our army was coming from here. If he set up an ambush here, we would suffer heavy losses."
“Boom!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge rock fell and hit the rear army of Tian Chang's army. This sudden change shocked everyone.
At this time, a sharpshooter vaguely saw someone on the cliff, and hurriedly shouted: "Master, there are people on the mountain, they are the Yan army!"
Was there really an ambush?
Tian Chang was horrified and said, "How is this possible? The Yan army did not defend the city, but dared to come out and fight me?
And how did Yan know that our army would pass by here, unless they knew our marching route beforehand and were waiting for us on the road?"
But now the Yan army appeared here. Tian Chang vaguely felt that something big might have happened, but there was no time to think about it, so he quickly commanded his soldiers to rush out of the valley.
Tian Chang's retainer said angrily: "Master, it must be the other families who betrayed us."
No one doubted Lü Jing, the king with a weak mind. Tian Chang angrily cursed: "This group of people are so despicable and shameless, so greedy, they are thinking about fighting each other before the royal family is overthrown. They are really a group of people who can't accomplish anything great.
Withdraw from the mountain valley and do not engage in a fight with the Yan army. You are dreaming if you want to consume my military strength!"
Then when they turned the corner, they saw that the Yan army was blocking their way in a neat formation, with several layers of thick shields and even wooden stakes to resist the charge of the chariots. It was obvious that they were going to have a head-on battle.
When Tian Chang saw that the Yan army was determined to fight him, he said angrily: "Ji Wugou is so arrogant, does he think that just because he is a vassal he can compare to the prime minister of a great country?
When Guan Zhong was in power in Qi, the emperor still treated him as a senior minister.
The population and soldiers of the Tian family are twice as many as his, yet he is so disrespectful. When I take control of Qi, I will definitely destroy Yan to repay my kindness today."
Men are usually referred to by their clan names, not their surnames. Now Tian Chang actually used his surname to address Yan Hou Wu Gou. This was almost like pointing at someone and scolding him. This was not just anger at the extreme, but fear at the extreme.
At this time, a fierce general from the Yan army came out and shouted: "Tian Chang of Qi, as a minister of the vassal state, why don't you get off the car and salute in front of our king?"
According to the rules of Zhou Li, Tian Chang not only had to observe etiquette, but also could not harm the Marquis of Yan. However, Tian Chang was so furious. Marquis of Yan, you didn't observe etiquette first and directly ambushed me. Now you want me to observe etiquette, right?
Tian Chang did not expect that the Marquis of Yan would be so shameless, and did not take him seriously at all, constantly teasing him. He immediately said angrily: "Since the Marquis of Yan is so ignorant of the situation, let's have a good fight with him and let him understand that the monarch of a small country is not as good as the minister of a big country!"
So Tian Chang's soldiers quickly adjusted their formation, and the Yan army also lined up to wait. The Marquis of Yan looked relaxed, not caring about the majesty of Tian Chang's soldiers at all, and laughed loudly: "Shoot arrows at the Qi army in black. Look, it's the Qi army in black!"
After several rounds of arrow rain, Tian Chang's army and Yan's army fought together, and Yan mainly resisted Tian Chang's attack slowly.
At this moment, an army flying the Luo flag suddenly rushed out from the flank of Tian Chang's army. Although the number of people did not seem large, they were all armored soldiers. At a glance, there were no less than five thousand of them!
Luo Yu was wearing heavy armor, even his face was tightly sealed, and he brandished his sword and shouted, "Kill the Qi army, and execute Tian Chang!"
Tian Chang felt as if ghosts were coming out of his body and his hands and feet were cold.
The army of Luo State actually appeared here. He was a very smart man, otherwise it would have been impossible for them to gradually consolidate the power of Qi State in just a few decades. He vaguely guessed that this might be a death trap set for him by Luo State.
“The army of Luo State appeared here. Even if Yan State was looking for Luo State as an ally, Qi State was much closer to Yan State than Luo State, and it had prepared a large army in advance. Even if Luo State had wings, it would be impossible for it to come to Yan State now.
unless……"
The most likely guess came to his mind, "Unless Luo State already knew that Qi State was going to attack Yan State!
Are these people crazy? What good will it do them to destroy the Tian family? Do they think that Luo State can still destroy the public office's army if it is here?
It’s like a dream!”
Tian Chang's decades of hard work might be wasted here, making him unable to remain calm any longer. His heart was filled with hatred for the betrayer.
But his retainers did not think so. They said with fear on their faces: "Master, how could those families ask the Luo family to take action? This must be the work of the king!"
“Boom!” A loud sound of bells and drums exploded in Tian Chang’s mind. His eyes went dark and he almost fell off the chariot. He shouted, “Run!
We are no match for the coalition forces of Luo and Yan. We should take all the best soldiers in our family and escape back to our fiefdom.
Does Lu Jing dare to start a civil war in the country?"
The retainer looked at the billowing smoke and dust at the rear of the army and said sadly, "Master, it's too late!"
The roar of chariots coming from behind completely shattered Tian Chang's hopes. The royal army, which was supposed to be on another marching route, actually appeared behind him!
Duke Lu Jing of Qi was delighted and laughed loudly: "Today is the day to kill Tian Chang and revitalize the royal family!
Tell all the troops that whoever kills Tian Chang will be granted the title of Shangqing, a hundred li of land, and a reward of a thousand gold coins.
The deafening sound of killing reached Tian Chang's army. All the soldiers had fear on their faces. Ambush, siege, king, Luo State, each one was enough to crush them.
"I understand, I understand everything, this is a trap set by Luo Yu and Lu Jing for us Qing clan members!
How cruel.
He was willing to kill so many people. Wasn't Lü Jing worried that Qi would never recover and become a second-rate country? "
The Duke of Qi was certainly worried about the decline of Qi's strength, but he was more worried about the power of the Qi royal family falling into the hands of others.
Luo Yu understood even more clearly that if Qi was lost to the Jiang family, Luo would inevitably have a war with Qi to the death.
Therefore, the most correct option now is to control the losses within a certain range.
Moreover, in the view of Luo State, at least for a few decades, Jin State, Luo State and Wu State would be able to compete with Chu State and Qin State.
The State of Qi was more used to check and balance the State of Song, a second-rate country established by the descendants of the Shang Dynasty. It was enough even after its strength was weakened.
When the people of Yan State saw the Luo State army coming out, they were all shocked.
Everyone knows that Luo State is Qi's blood ally. It has been five hundred years since the time of King Su. Even though there are occasional disagreements between the two sides, they will eventually come together.
However, as soon as Luo State appeared, it rushed towards Qi State's army. Before they could react, they saw Qi State's royal army appear and attack their own army.
Everyone felt a sense of absurdity, which was far more absurd than when they saw the intelligence about the Qi army before, but then they understood what was happening.
The Marquis of Yan looked at the ministers with different expressions and laughed happily, saying, "Tian Chang, the senior minister of Qi, betrayed the Duke of Qi and attempted to kill the king and take his place.
Yan State was a blood ally of Qi State. I was the son-in-law of the Duke of Qi and assisted in killing Tian Chang.
Pass the order, all troops rush in to kill, those who make contributions will be rewarded handsomely! "
So the armies of the three kingdoms attacked together, and Tian Chang's army was defeated. Most of these soldiers were loyal to the Tian family and could only be beheaded. For a while, the valley was filled with blood.
…
Duke Yi killed Tian Chang in Yan.
The Duke said: The wolf of Zhongshan is so arrogant and rampant when he succeeds, but his fate is clear, and he will eventually die!
Chang said: My defeat is because my surname Gui is humble; your victory is because your surname Jiang is noble.
This is not destiny, but the wing of Luo!
The Duke was furious and killed him, abandoning him to the wilderness.
I have been meaning to write the end of this chapter for a long time.
The son of a Zhongshan wolf will become arrogant when he succeeds.
This sentence is so wonderful, Cao Xueqin is a god.
