After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 241
You must know that these grains and armaments have been accumulated by Qi Hou for many years, and the purpose is to dominate the world.

Seeing that the state of Jin has declined to such a state now, it is of course impossible for the Marquis of Qi to give the state of Jin a chance to breathe, and finally decided to take a gamble, so he sent Tian Qi to escort the grain and grass.

After the news came back, Gao Zhang obviously felt that Marquis Qi was a little dissatisfied with him, and it was self-evident what the problem was, so he was full of worry, so he found Guoxia and said to him.

"Tian must have slandered in front of Marquis Qi. At this time, we are being cautious, isn't it taking away our hope of victory? In the face of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if we don't be aggressive and turn defensive, then It’s not worth the candle.”

Guoxia naturally knew that Gao Zhang was still brooding over the last defeat, and wanted to take advantage of this time to get back his capital with interest, and judging from the current situation, the possibility of Gao Zhang's plan succeeding Very big, so he also expressed support.

"The so-called commander's orders are not accepted. Since we now have a chance to defeat the Jin army, how can we let it go easily? As long as we can win in the end, after returning to Qi, we will definitely know Tian's sinister intentions later. .”

The main and deputy generals agreed, so the matter was settled, and then Zheng Guo's doctor, Yao Hezi Ban, led the troops to pick up the food and grass, and at the same time, Fan Jishe in Chaoge City couldn't sit still.

He personally left Chaoge with his men and horses, preparing to merge with the coalition forces of the princes, and then counterattack Zhao Yang's army together.

At this time, Zhao Yang was very calm. He used the news from the defenders from all over the country to ponder in detail, hoping to find a suitable fighter from it. This was also his only chance to defeat the coalition forces of the princes.

At this time, Meng Di also felt a little disappointed. Gao Zhang had no intention of attacking Xiyang or Qiancheng at this time, but continued to besiege Wulu City with his army.

Obviously, he wanted to wait until the food and grass arrived. In fact, at this time Gao Zhang didn't want to, but after receiving Qihou's letter, he hesitated for a while, and finally adopted the most conservative approach.

That is to stand still and wait until Zheng Guo's army, which is transporting grain and grass, rescues Zhao Yang's troops in time.

This shows that the battlefield that Gao Zhang predicted should be near Qiancheng. In this case, the Jin army would need to cross the river, and there would be less room for maneuvering around, which would be very beneficial to the coalition forces of the princes.

The intention was too obvious, Lian Mengdi saw it immediately after hearing the news, how could Zhao Jianzi be fooled?This shows that Gao Zhang's purpose this time is mainly to rescue Chao Ge.

Even the commander-in-chief of the allied forces of the vassals had no enterprising spirit, which made Meng Di smile wryly. At this time, Yu Rang hurried over.

"My lord, there isn't a single boat in Hua County recently, not even fishermen's boats. This situation is a bit strange, so my subordinates came here to report that the Jin army should have taken action."

Hua County is located at the junction of two tributaries of the Futuo River, and it is far away from Wulu City. Mengdi also sent his cavalry far away to spy on the news of the Jin army in order to take precautions.

If this is the case, Zhao Yang passed through Hua County, and there is a high probability that he will not stay there and wait for the allied forces of the princes to arrive. It is very likely that he is waiting for an opportunity, or waiting for news, and he should be preparing to attack the food transport team.

If this is the case, the battle situation will be interesting. Once Gao Zhang crosses the river, he is ready to encircle Zhao Yang. Then Zhao Yang suddenly appears with his people at this time. Once this battle is won, the coalition forces of the princes will be at a disadvantage.

At that time, Zhao Yang will be able to enter Wulu City directly, and the allied forces of the princes who have lost their food and grass will still have a way to retreat. What makes Mengdi a little curious is that Zhao Yang is destined not to bring too many troops.

Because Brother Chao's siege of the city is still going on, just to attract the attention of the allied forces of the princes, and to fight against the army of Zhengguo with all the way, does Zhao Yang say that there is no reinforcement?
Otherwise, the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, and in the end it is very likely that Zheng Guo’s army will take it all at once, but Meng Di did not think of any reinforcements from the Jin Dynasty, which shows that Zhao Yang is taking a big gamble.

This kind of courage and courage is really admirable, and Meng Di couldn't help feeling a surge of pride in his heart, and said with a sigh.

"Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, not to mention Zhao Jianzi who is like a tiger. It is obvious that Zhao Jianzi is ready to give it a go this time. I am really curious. What will he do to increase his chances of winning?"

Yu Rang obviously didn't understand, he had a confused look on his face, and then asked in a puzzled way.

"My lord, do you mean that Zhao Jianzi will stand up and take risks this time? But the problem is that the Jin army is still besieging Chaoge. Judging from the information we have received, Chaoge seems to be unable to hold on anymore, especially since the military equipment has been destroyed. Seriously inadequate."

Hearing what he said, Meng Di just smiled, and then asked back.

"Don't you think it's strange? Normally, the Jin army should be ready to fight against the allied forces of the princes at this time, but they did the opposite. But at this time, the allied forces of the princes directly rescued Chaoge."

"Then the Jin army's physical strength will be greatly reduced due to repeated attacks on the city, and it will also consume a lot of ordnance. This is an unwise choice, but Zhao Jianzi just did it."

"That means that Zhao Jianzi has another plan. It is obvious that he wants to get chestnuts out of the fire. If my prediction is not bad, Zhao Jianzi will definitely go eastward as long as he gets the grain and grass escorted by Tianqi and arrives in Wulu City."

"His purpose is very simple. It is to defeat the grain transport team. Only in this way can the intention of the coalition forces of the princes be defeated. In this way, the whole battle situation will be beneficial to the Jin army. As long as they do a good job of defending, they can drag the coalition forces of the princes collapse."

"It's just that Zhao Jianzi's troops this time will definitely not be too many. They should be the most elite soldiers. That's why I said that Zhao Jianzi is ready to give it a go, because he knows very well that it is time for life and death."

"If this opportunity is missed, Jin will be defeated by the coalition of princes. At that time, everything owned by Zhao Jianzi will disappear, and the Zhao family will also be destroyed in his hands. It seems that we have to prepare early."

Then Meng Di thought for a moment, then made up his mind and headed towards the Qi army camp.
