stand back, let me come

Chapter 1358: The Destruction of Qi State (Part 1358) [Seeking monthly votes]

At this moment, Shen Tang really wanted to slap Gong Xichou in the face.

But considering his personality, Shen Tang held back.

She was afraid that the other party would pester her to determine the winner.

"Gong-xi-qiu--"

Shen Tang's previous concerns were justified.

She led the troops to encircle and suppress the rebellious enemy soldiers, solved the logistical problems, and then returned at night to chase the main forces of the three armies. Guess what? Hehe, let alone Gong Xichou's figure, even his ghost was not seen. He still had a conscience and left a letter of intelligence.

The soldier who brought the news nervously presented the letter, which was not even sealed with wax, for fear that his lord would question the authenticity of the letter.

I swear to God, this is what happened to the letter when it came into my hands.

It has never left my sight, and has never been touched by a third person.

Shen Tang was trying her best to hurry on. Her breathing was unstable and she had to take small breaths to adjust her breathing rhythm. The intense activity made her cheeks flushed and her forehead was covered with sweat. She was in such a state, let alone a scholar with a relatively weak constitution. Gu De didn't care about etiquette at this moment. He supported his waist with one hand to reduce the burden, and took out the folding fan from his waist with the other hand, opened it, and moved closer to the side of the master. The master and the minister blew the wind together: "Why is there no wax on this letter?"

"Gong Xichou is always like this. If it's not important, he will forget it nine times out of ten." Gong Xichou doesn't care about leaks. It's okay if he doesn't know. If he knew that someone other than the recipient opened his letter first, he would twist the necks of that person's family and make them into cold meat. Shen Tang took a look at the letter and blushed on the spot, "Fuck!"

This sound almost scared Gu De.

"What is it, my lord?"

"See for yourself."

Shen Tang held his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes, while handing the letter to Gu De with the other hand.

Gu De took it and looked at it carefully.

Gong Xichou's handwriting was not beautiful, and even a little sloppy and wild, and the content was even more arrogant. To sum it up, he thought again and again, and felt that the only way to defeat martial arts in the world was to be fast, and the same was true for military formations and tactics. As long as the speed of action was fast enough, and the enemy was not given time to plan quietly, and the enemy's lair was destroyed before they could react, all conspiracies and plots were bullshit!

Our losses are small and the morale of the troops is high.

Why not strike while the iron is hot?

Shen Tang's original plan was to take the capital of Qi Kingdom as the center and first eliminate the key points that protected the capital. The overall marching route was biased towards a large arc. If this was not done, the troops from nearby places would rush to help one after another, which would cause some trouble for Shen Tang.

In simple terms, it means first tearing down the tower and then pushing the crystal.

Gong Xichou took over the temporary command from Shen Tang, watching her demolish a tower, and the tower defender surrendered first and then betrayed, and the logistics were almost destroyed. He felt that he was giving the opponent too much face. So, he followed the first step, the second step was a little crooked, and the third and fourth steps were directly in line with his own rhythm!

Gong Xichou's style of leading troops is unique not only in Kangguo, but also in the entire continent. In one word, it is "brave"!
Kill enemies within sight.

Find and kill enemies out of sight.

Rush to wherever there are enemies and kill them.

Complete the above three points with the fastest speed, shortest distance, shortest time and highest efficiency. Killing all witnesses will complete a perfect assassination - killing all enemies will win an undisputed victory!

Previous conditions did not support him doing so.

Back when he was under Tang Guo's command, even if he led his troops to penetrate all the enemy cities in a straight line, it would be useless if he could not supply food and supplies. Once the enemy reacted, they could gather their forces to besiege the elite vanguard who were far away from the main force to death.

It's different now.

Gong Xichou shook his braid.

Our logistics can keep up completely!
There is no need to worry about supply issues. Our own combat power is not weak at all. Even if we go deep into the enemy's rear, we can still rush out from left and right. What is there to be afraid of? Gong Xichou slapped his thigh and did not wait for Shen Tang to rush over. He did it with two horizontal and one vertical strokes, and did it with one force and two points!

Gu De said after a while: "Even Zikuan can't suppress him..."

Xiahou Yu must have wanted to slow down his march and join his lord, but now he has disappeared, so he must have been dragged away by Gongxichou. Shen Tang was not surprised at all. Not to mention that Xiahou Yu could not suppress Gongxichou, even Chu Yao would not be able to do so.

If it was Qishan, he could have a quarrel with Gongxichou.

It is also possible that the two are in cahoots.

Shen Tang said: "How can he control a wild horse that has broken free from its reins?"

She was careless and didn't take Lin Feng away!
How great it is to not have to worry about the logistics and food supply, Shen Tang must know that. Gong Xichou is now just like she was back then when she ran around deep in the heart of Shiwu, letting herself go. Even if you go deep into the enemy's territory, you don't have to worry about getting into a desperate situation. You might even be able to pierce back and forth in the enemy's encirclement and show off your positioning and needlework.

Gu De opened his mouth to say something, then shut up again.

On the surface, Gongxichou is a commander sent from heaven, temporarily taking over the lord's military management. Civil and military officials who are not familiar with him will not blindly follow his orders. At least, when Gongxichou and Xiahou Yu disagree, Zikuan will get more support. But in practice, it can't be calculated like this. Xiahou Yu has the power to mobilize troops, but Gongxichou alone defeated most of the generals!
Before Dubifu recruited military officers, the branch had few military officers, and the difference between civil and military was serious. After recruiting more people, the number and quality of military officers caught up quickly. And because the method of recruiting them was not glorious, they were a little passive.

When it is time to fight, fight; when it is time to make contributions, make contributions.

It just lacks a bit of the passion of a warrior.

Gong Xichou's joining made these generals excited. The former said he wanted to poke a hole in the sky, and the latter were also ready to fight. Life and death were put in the back. It is conceivable that most of these people prefer Gong Xichou rather than Zikuan.

The former actually has more military power than Zikuan.

No wonder Zikuan was dragged into this situation.

Zikuan couldn't fight Gongxichou on the spot, so naturally he would follow Gongxichou wherever he attacked. Gu De said thoughtfully: "From the map, General Gongxi should be in Sansuo..."

The three counties are most likely the next target.

Our side is faster and should be able to catch up with the main force.

Then, he saw his master pointed his finger at Gongxi Chou's last stop on the map, and with a whoosh, a straight line was drawn between the two points and the capital of Qi State. Gu De was a little confused: "What is this?"

Shen Tang looked strange: "His marching route."

Gu De: "..."

The first reaction was absurd, the second was impossible, and the third was horrifying. Gu De blurted out: "How do we fight this?"

Xiahou Yu was also forced by Gongxi Chou to lose his composure.

I don't care about any literary manners.

He almost broke his voice: "Gong Xichou, I just want to ask how to fight this?"

He just went straight from one point to another. Did he treat the mountains and rivers on the road as if they didn't exist? Did he not consider the rugged terrain at all?

Gong Xichou hurriedly stuffed two mouthfuls of rice and said, "Stale."

Xiahou Yu almost smashed the table in front of him.

Breaking the defense, he asked, "I'm rigid?"

Gong Xichou swallowed and spoke to him: "You can't imagine that we would run like this, how could the enemy imagine that? We are elite soldiers who are not real mortals, how many brave warriors will walk obediently? Have you ever calculated how strong the morale of the subordinates is?"

He said confidently: "The road is for people to walk on."

Sometimes, his train of thought coincides with Shen Tang's.

Shen Tang also said to Gu De: "And we are not human beings."

Naturally, they don’t have to follow the same path as ordinary people. “Gong Xichou’s aggressive attack on the city was originally intended to boost morale by winning multiple battles in a short period of time. Morale can undergo a qualitative change if it continues to break through its limits. This qualitative change may really allow the main forces of the three armies to move from here—” She pointed at the symbol representing the capital of the Kingdom of Qi, “to here! Take the enemy by surprise and attack them when they are unprepared… But the means of combat are a bit too wild.”

The Word Spirit has many means. As long as the literary spirit/martial spirit/morale is sufficient, any unconventional tactics may appear. It is not necessary to follow the rules to demolish towers and push crystals. Gong Xichou is confident of his strength, so he dares to think what others dare not think. He chooses to demolish by force.

Gu De's face was slightly bitter: "I have seen many generals being killed, but I am afraid no one has ever seen a leader of a country being taken directly from his head."

Just as Gong Xichou said.

No one could have imagined that he would dare to attack the capital at this stage.

Not only his own people could not have imagined this, but the King of Qi, who was anxiously waiting for good news from the front, could not have imagined this. No matter how bad the war was, no matter how powerful the traitors were, it was impossible for a sharp blade to be pointed at his throat.

His confidence is not groundless, he has real reasons for it!
The terrain near the capital of Qi State was transformed by the twenty-rank Che Hou himself, which is more convincing than the rumored "artificial dangerous pass built by the twenty-rank Che Hou himself" - Chaoli Pass. Chaoli Pass is a legend, but the terrain that protects the capital is not.

The royal family has accurate and reliable records of this.

The Qi Kingdom also relied on this backer to be able to be destroyed and restored several times, and even formed a small alliance with neighboring countries to open up the Holy Land of Mountains and Seas. The Qi Kingdom also had more places than other countries.

That Che Hou is the pillar of support for Qi State!
However, this magic needle disappeared many years ago, and no matter how hard the royal family searched for it privately, they could not find it.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The king could only watch other countries testing and provoking him, watch the various places in the country getting restless, and watch Xiahou Li grow stronger step by step. Did he not want to wipe out the local warlords of Qi once and for all? It was clearly because he was trapped both internally and externally that he was unable to cope with the situation.

There was a sound of a scroll falling to the ground in the hall.

Then the King of Qi State started to yell and curse angrily.

"How ridiculous! They usually boast of their talent and wisdom as great as Zhuge Liang, but when they should be used, they hide away faster than the other. They even deliberately show off. Do they really think that if I kill them, the country of Qi will be ruled by a new person?" Looking at the mess on the ground, his eyes were ferocious, and he wished that the fragments on the ground were those old things and he could burn them through with his eyes.

Venting out his emotions was mentally exhausting and served no practical purpose.

He lowered his voice and said, "They are all traitors!"

Xiahou Li, who was jumping up and down, was a thief, and nearly half of the civil and military officials in the court were traitors. They all came from wealthy and prominent families in various parts of Qi State. The local garrisons were either from the same clan or their students and former officials, or they were relatives and friends who came to visit the dock. The words of the King of Qi State were not as effective as theirs in the local area. Seeing the thieves coming in a menacing manner, he was really a little scared and wanted to withdraw troops to protect the capital.

Ninety percent of the civil and military officials in the court were opposed.

It was already very difficult to resist the bandits on the front line, and now they were transferring part of the troops from the rear and the border to the capital. What if the neighboring countries took advantage of this opportunity to invade? The lack of troops in those places would play into the hands of the bandits? This was absolutely unacceptable!
The ministers opposed it and the king could do nothing about it.

In the past, because Dinghai Shenzhen lived in seclusion far away from the capital, the King of Qi State did not worry about his personal safety. At one point, he even ignored the imperial guards guarding the capital. He would rather have fewer people than have all of them be outsiders!

After the Dinghai Shenzhen disappeared, the king did not dare to make a fuss and tried to find an opportunity to take back the military power, but was repeatedly blocked by various parties. He did not even dare to show too much concern for the Royal Capital Guards, for fear that someone with sharp eyes would see that he was bluffing.

This is also the reason why they have been making more and more money in recent years.

He needed to secretly build up a trustworthy army.

But time waits for no one, man proposes, God disposes.

He is extremely insecure now.

"If there really were miracles in the world..."

Why can't it happen to me?

The King of Qi sat on the steps in front of the table, his arms over his eyes to block out the candlelight, and gradually regained his sanity as he adjusted his breathing. Seeing this, the eunuch who was serving him secretly waved his hand to let the apprentice who was serving outside the hall come in to clean up the mess. He came forward, and with a shrill and feminine voice with the power to soothe people, he asked meekly: "Your Majesty, which lady do you want to have sex with today?"

"Not interested."

The inner court made him feel insecure.

As he said this, he glanced at the eunuch who was bending over to clean.

"Look up, does it look like a stranger?"

"He is my adopted son half a year ago. I was afraid that he would not know the rules, so I kept him in a house outside the palace and taught him the rules before he came in."

"Oh, it seems there are indeed rules. You taught them well."

He just had to give her a look.

The confidants who had served him for many years knew what he meant and immediately arranged it. Ever since Che Hou left without saying goodbye, he had developed a strange habit. At first, he just added more night watchmen, but as time went by, this trick didn't work anymore. He had become "terminally ill" and insisted on having people sleep next to him. Then, he gradually found a different and reassuring pleasure in these people.

When it comes to male favorites, he doesn't pick them by appearance, but by strength.

He would only feel at ease sleeping next to someone who is a brave warrior.

The inner court is not a place that normal men can enter at will, but eunuchs have no such concerns. If the king has a need, someone will naturally make plans for him. At first, they select natural eunuch warriors from the people, and look for eunuchs with training talents in the inner court, and then they are artificially created.

Some people even take the initiative to get close to them in order to seek a future.

The young eunuch didn't look good, but he was strong and healthy, which made people feel at ease. With the enemy at hand, he had no interest in tossing and turning. When he felt a little sleepy, he closed his eyes to conserve his energy. There were still many trivial matters to deal with tomorrow. Before falling asleep, he was still worried about whether the plan to lure the enemy would work and whether it could undermine the morale of the thieves...

I think about it every day and dream about it at night.

That night, he had a wonderful dream!

In his dream, he sat on the throne, while the thief Xiahou Li was tied up and kneeling in front of the palace. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the latter begged for mercy, just to survive. The King of Qi did not kill the thief, but ordered his men to drag him into the silkworm room.

Announce beheading to the outside world.

In fact, she is useless and is used as her own pet.

The dream was too beautiful. Although he did not see Xia Houli's face, it did not prevent him from smiling. He woke up while smiling.

To be precise, I was woken up by a strange friction sound.

As soon as he opened his eyes, a peerless beauty suddenly appeared before his eyes. She was sitting with her legs propped up beside his bed.

Oh, it turned out to be just a dream.

His vision gradually focused and he could see clearly what was in the other person's hand.

Hold the knife in the right hand and the whetstone in the left hand.

The friction sound is made by the whetstone and the blade.

(へ╬)
I was so furious. My head was buzzing with anger.

On October 15th, my tire was punctured by a nail. Today, it was punctured again. As soon as I was about to drive out of the basement, I was prompted that the tire pressure was abnormal. A nail as long as half a palm cannot stand normally, let alone press directly on it and pierce so deep into the tire.

If you get a puncture on the road, the tire pressure warning will be displayed on the spot.

The car was parked in the basement for four days and the APP did not give any notification during that time.

In other words, it is highly likely that someone deliberately put a nail in the tire, or placed the nail under the tire. The car has a low chassis, and I didn't go to see what was under the tire even after I got in the car and walked around. As a result, it was punctured again.

It may not be possible to find it even if I look for surveillance footage, the time span is too long, it’s so frustrating!

Thump the ground, thump the ground, thump the ground!

The sentry surveillance is turned on directly. It wastes electricity. Who knows what bad things can happen in the basement of the community! If you really catch them, call the police and pay me for the tire repair!
