After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 162
After the autumn harvest, Qi State sent Gao Zhang and Guo Xia as the main lieutenants, and other ethnic groups jointly sent troops, led more than [-] chariots, and after taking oath in Linzi, they went straight to Xiyun.

After getting the news, Meng Di immediately notified Qufu. Yang Hu also felt very headache at this time. According to the current situation, Qi State dispatched so many troops, Meng Di would definitely not be able to handle it.

However, if he sent troops, he was also worried about the reaction of Zheng Guo and Wei Guo. He had passed Wei Guo without warning before, which had caused Duke Ling of Wei to be worried about Lu Guo. and Zheng Guolai.

Then the whole situation will take a turn for the worse, but at present the Qi army is powerful and has to be rescued. In desperation, Yang Hu can only mobilize the army while asking for help from Jin. After that, Yang Hu, Ji Sunsi and Zhongsun Heji bring the chariot Eight hundred rides galloped to aid Xiyun.

This time Meng Di did not fight in person. Shi Huang has worked very hard recently and is already familiar with cavalry combat, so Meng Di appointed Han Zhan as the general and Shi Huang as the deputy general, and led [-] cavalry to live in Zhongqiu .

Now that Yang Hu has dispatched troops, Mengyi will naturally have him on the frontal battlefield. The cavalry in Zhongqiu City can be mobilized at any time in case of accidents, and threaten the Qi army's rear if the battle situation takes a turn for the worse.

Then his cavalry will attack Linzi quickly according to the established strategy, and force Qi to retreat in this way.

Before Yang Hu led his troops to Mengyi, Meng Di had already brought people to greet him, and said face to face with his hands clasped.

"Yangzi, this time the Qi army is coming so fiercely that we have no choice but to ask for help from Qufu. Now that Yangzi's troops have arrived, Meng is relieved, and he brought some fine wine and food with him, dedicated to Yangzi. "

But Yang Hu glanced behind him, and dissatisfaction appeared on his face.

"Now that the war is imminent, why do you have so few troops? Is it possible that you want to bring these people together with Yang to fight against the Qi army? This is a bit unreasonable."

After hearing this, Meng Di just smiled and said calmly.

"Now all the cavalry under my command are stationed in Zhongqiu City. Yangzi is familiar with the way of battle formation. In a dignified battle, the cavalry cannot fight against the chariot soldiers. In this case, it is better to let the cavalry roam outside so that the Qi army can't go all out. Siege."

For this explanation, Yang Hu only believed half of it, and the other half he felt that Meng Di was deliberately preserving his strength, so he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart.

Today's Mengyi is empty, can it take advantage of this time to directly take down Feiyi?But then he shook his head, recalling that Meng Di easily took down Fei Yi that day, this idea was directly dismissed.

And after entering Feiyi, I saw many people from all over the country training. Although they were dressed like ordinary people, their morale was high, and they were all young and strong. This surprised Yang Hu and looked at Meng Di. asked.

"There are still so many people in Mengyi that have not been used? Why not recruit these people? Use them to fight against the Qi army?"

For these words, Meng Di already had a countermeasure, so he replied immediately.

"Returning to Yangzi, these are local farmers. Because of the urgency of the war, they were selected for training in case of emergencies. It will take some time to form combat power. If the battle does not go well then."

"I, Fei Yi, can get 10 people in no time, but the only pity is that my subordinates don't have chariots, so it's useless to recruit these people unless we have to."

Yang Hu shook his head slightly, and asked very strangely.

"With your current strength, Mengzi, it should not be a problem to raise two hundred chariots. Why do you keep training cavalry?"

But Meng Di smiled and said very frankly.

"The main reason is that cavalry is cheaper and the training time is shorter than that of chariots. In addition, Qi State has been attacking Lu State continuously. Meng does not have so much time and energy to train chariots."

Hearing this answer, Yang Hu laughed in his heart. In his opinion, it seemed to him that giving up future plans for immediate needs was a very short-sighted behavior, so he didn't open his mouth to remind, but said.

"I saw that the cavalry was also very brave. They repelled Qi's attacks one after another. Maybe Mengzi will be famous all over the world with his cavalry and make a lot of achievements."

What he said was ironic, Meng Di could hear it naturally, but there was a grateful smile on his face.

"Meng Yangzi appreciates it, Meng will definitely continue to work hard in the future, strive to carry forward the cavalry, and become the pinnacle of the sea on the border of our country of Lu, so that the country of Qi will not dare to invade the border of our country of Lu again."

People around could hear what Yang Hu meant when he said this, but they didn't expect Meng Di to answer so formally. Ji Sunsi and Zhongsun Heji looked at each other, with disappointment on their faces.

Because of the urgency of the war, Yang Hu did not stay in Mengyi, but went straight to Xiyun, because the Qi army was also approaching at this time.

After the Qi army who left Linzi arrived at the Great Wall of Qi, Gao Zhang called everyone together to discuss countermeasures.

"The reason why we were forced to retreat last time was because Meng Di cut off our army's food road, so this time, I ask you, my lord, to lead five hundred chariots to ensure that the army's food road is unimpeded."

Gao Zhang would naturally choose Guoxia for things like this to leave a way out for himself, because he was someone he could trust. As for other Qi clans, Gao Zhang was always on guard.

Guoxia immediately agreed, and at this time Tian Qi suggested.

"Now that Yang Hu has brought troops here, we are in a stalemate with them at this time. I'm afraid we won't be able to take it down in a short time, and we have to be wary of Mengdi's cavalry. In my opinion, we can take Zhongqiu City directly. And there is an explanation."

Gao Zhang nodded after listening, and immediately said without thinking.

"Since this is the case, then your angel will lead the troops to clear the way ahead, and the Prime Minister will lead the five hundred chariots behind the formation, and the rest will stay in the city to prevent accidents. I want to see if Mengdi can play out this time." What tricks."

"In addition, the Prime Minister sent people to inform the Ju State to send troops to help in the battle. I heard that there are many soldiers and horses in Zhongqiu City. This time, I will try to eat them directly to relieve my hatred!"

Tian Qi was overjoyed when he heard it. His purpose was very clear, that is, after taking Zhongqiu City, he hoped to find a craftsman for wine making. As for Meng Di's idea, he was not considering it now.

The main reason is that Mengdi's development is too fast. If it is not contained, it will definitely be out of control in the future.
