After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 152
Hearing these words, Gao Zhang turned pale with fright. He didn't expect Mengdi to play this hand with him. While pretending to fight with him on one side, he sent cavalry to cut off his food road on the other side.

However, he knew very well in his heart that if he divided his troops at this time, he would probably be eaten by the opponent in one bite. The reason was simple. The cavalry moved too fast, unless the entire Qi army withdrew, and this attack would be useless. And returned.

After thinking about this, he gritted his teeth in high spirits and said bitterly.

"Well, you Mengdi, you actually played such a trick, the old man really underestimated you, and told me to order the whole army to retreat."

This is not because Gao Zhang is afraid, but because the grain road is cut off now, if he continues to delay, Meng Di may take advantage of the situation to bite him, and the loss outweighs the gain.

As long as the strength is still strong, it is impossible to send more soldiers and horses to come again next time, and Gao Zhang actually understands that Meng Di did it on purpose at this time. He already knows that Meng Di still has a sharp weapon in his hand to attack the city.

If Mengdi led his troops to directly attack Dongyun, then Gao Zhang would have to rescue him. Under such circumstances, unless Qi State dispatched most of its troops, otherwise, it would be impossible to stop Mengdi from cutting off the grain. road.

So no matter how reluctant he was, he knew that it would be of no benefit to continue fighting, so he had no choice but to retreat.

Seeing the Qi army retreating slowly, Mengdi had a smile on his face. He didn't want to provoke the Qi army at this time, so he used this method to warn Gao Zhang. He has many ways to win the battle. .

Qi State Linzi.

Qihou in the palace, he never thought that Gao Zhang would be defeated so quickly this time, and his heart was filled with anger. Xia roared.

"The last time I dispatched [-] chariots, I lost the battle because I underestimated the enemy. Now this time I dispatched [-] chariots, and they retreated in such a desperate manner before they reached the battlefield. Can you dominate the world?"

At this time, Guo Xia was also full of surprises. He expected that this battle would be more difficult than he had imagined, but he didn't expect it to end in such an anticlimactic manner.

Seeing the extremely angry Marquis Qi in front of him, Guo Xia regained his composure and excused Gao Zhang.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Strictly speaking, Gao Xiangguo did not lose this time. It was just that Mengdi took advantage of the opportunity. In order to avoid losses to Qi, it was wise to retreat."

Anger is all about anger, and Qi Hou has also seen the specific battle report. He knows in his heart that if he continues to fight under such circumstances, the Qi army may suffer losses, but it is difficult for him psychologically to accept it.

Originally thought that through this time, the Jin State could successfully show its attitude, and at the same time show Qi State's military peak, but he didn't expect to be defeated just after sending troops, which made him feel angry?So immediately ordered.

"Now Zheng Guo has agreed to send troops, and Wei Guo has acquiesced in private. At this time, Qi Guo has to send troops no matter what. Otherwise, all the princes and states in the world will regard Qi Guo as a big joke and immediately go down to organize troops. Ready to fight again."

At this time, Guoxia also knew that it was no longer the Qi family's business to send troops against Lu, so he immediately accepted the order without hesitation, and then hurriedly resigned.

After he left, Qihou also had a look of helplessness on his face, and sighed softly.

"I didn't expect this Mengdi to be so good at cavalry combat. Why doesn't Qi have such generals?"

Thinking of this, a person appeared in his mind, that is Tian Rangju. At this moment, he also had some regrets in his heart. If he hadn't listened to the words of the Guo family, the Gao family and the Bao family, then how could Qi Guo face the situation before him? This dilemma?

But the matter has come to this point, Tian Rangju has passed away, there is no doubt that he thought too much, Qi Hou thought of Yan Ying who recommended Tian Rangju, so his heart moved, and he quickly walked out of the palace.

Yan's mansion.

Yan Ying, the wise man of Qi State, is very old now. He can't even get out of bed. He has to drink a lot of soup every day. He also knows that his time is numbered, so he waits for the end of his life with peace of mind. that day.

At this time, the servant hurried in and reported.

"Master, the king has come to visit the manor."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ying quickly gave instructions to his son Yan Yu who was serving by his side.

"Your Majesty must not be disrespectful when you come here. Hurry up and help me get up and change my clothes, and go to meet your Majesty."

Yan Yu didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried forward to help the old father up, helping him to dress neatly, but at this time, Qihou had already stepped in, saw Yan Ying's sick face, and was about to salute himself , quickly stepped forward to help him and said.

"Yanzi doesn't need to be so formal, now that you are inconvenient, just lie down with peace of mind."

Speaking of which, Qihou personally supported Yan Ying to lie on the bed, and then sighed.

"I didn't expect Yan Zi to be so weak now, this king still wants to use Yan Zi's talents to help Qi State dominate the world."

Seeing Qihou like this, Yan Ying had guessed a little bit, so he coughed lightly and asked.

"Your Majesty is here to send troops to the State of Lu for the sake of the State of Qi? Looking at the sorrowful expression on your Majesty's face, the battle must be over. Before I heard about it, Mengzi believed in what Qi Hou said. Your Majesty or Can be considered."

Before he even opened his mouth, Yan Ying had already guessed what he wanted to say, and Qi Hou sighed in his heart. This is indeed a wise man of Qi, but the meaning in his words is very obvious, and it has the taste of fighting and stopping troops .

Realizing this, Qi Hou felt a little displeased, so he spoke.

"Now our state of Qi is rich and the people are strong, and the state of Jin is already showing signs of falling into civil strife at this time. If we are in the state of Qi at this time, forging ahead will definitely make the hearts of the princes in the world more mature, and then the hegemony will be achieved."

Having been with Qihou for many years, how could it be possible that Yan Ying didn't know what he was like?He sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that it would be useless to talk too much, but now that he had reached the end of his life, if he didn't say anything, he might have no chance, so he thought for a while.

"How can I say that there is no one in Qi State? There was Da Sima Tian Rangju in the past, and Sun Wu who left Wu State later. These are all talents from Qi State, and these people are all from the Chen family."

"Your Majesty has been passed down for five generations since the Chen family entered Qi. Now Tian's reputation in Qi is even higher than that of your Majesty. If you let this situation go on, will your Majesty think about the future?"
