After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 267 Unexpected
When Guoxia just left the house, he received the news that Marquis Qi had ordered Tian Qi to lead his troops to conquer Jin. At this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he couldn't help worrying, so he hurriedly ordered the coachman to catch up with Gao immediately. open.

In the Gaofu, Gao Zhang had been summoned by the Marquis of Qi, Guo Xia couldn't help sighing in his heart, but he was a step too late to stop the Tian family from leading the army. Feeling very suffocated.

It was not until noon that Gao Zhang returned from the palace. This was the expression on his face, which seemed quite unnatural. After he sat down in the study, he sighed first, and then he spoke.

"Thousands of calculations, but Tian's family was not counted. At this time, he would ask Qihou for orders to lead the army, and the weather also asked Gao Mou face-to-face about the strategy to defeat the enemy, so he replied at the time, to ensure that Brother Chao and Handan will not be lost. Further weaken the state of Jin."

"It was unexpected, but Qi Hou said, in this way, wouldn't Zhao Jianzi be able to predict in advance? Immediately dismissed Gao's intention, and asked Gao to prepare to cooperate with Tian's dispatch of troops immediately after returning."

Guo Xia also calmed down at this time, he frowned and thought for a while, suddenly he felt something in his heart.

"Could it be said that the strategy to defeat the enemy this time came from Mengzi? Otherwise, why could the Tian family, at this time, be able to easily persuade the Marquis of Qi to send troops?"

Gao Zhang bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then punched heavily on the table, he has already reacted now.

"Clan Tian must have had an affair with Mengdi, that's why Han sent troops to Song, and Tian was in charge of persuading the Marquis of Qi, so that Tian and Mengdi could benefit from it, this Tian is really ambitious! "

But things have come to the point where it is now, and it is useless to say these things, Guo Xia said with a sigh.

"If this is the case, then we must appease the Tian family and let them lead the army to conquer Jianguo. If they win, let them go. If they lose, then they will settle the old and new accounts together. When Tian returns to the country, they will be exterminated. .”

"At this point, we can't wait any longer. In fact, we should have taken the opportunity to eradicate Tian in one fell swoop in the first place, so as not to leave today's disaster. This Tian's scheming is too terrifying."

At this time, Tian Qi finally got what he wanted, and he was overjoyed in his heart. After returning to the mansion, he immediately found Tian Chang. At this time, the excitement on his face was gone, and he became very solemn instead. asked.

"Now my father has obtained the permission of the Marquis of Qi to lead troops to conquer Jin, but it will definitely cause dissatisfaction with Gao Zhang and Guo Xia, so we must be very careful at this time, you go down immediately and make preparations, and transport all the food to Gao Tang go."

"It's the closest to the border of Weiguo, so it's very convenient for support. When the time comes, you'll stay at Gaotang and don't go anywhere. If something happens to Marquis Qi, you'll immediately bring someone to meet your father."

After hearing the news, Tian Chang was full of excitement. After planning for so long, he was finally about to see the result. After hearing what Tian Qi said, he nodded heavily and immediately replied.

"My son knows. When my son arrives in Gaotang, he will definitely order the clansmen to be on strict alert and not give the Gao family and the Guo family any chance. But who will father bring with him this time?"

Tian Qi smiled slightly after hearing this. The main purpose of dispatching troops this time is not to defeat the Jin army, but to continue the war and consume Jin's strength. The candidate for the deputy general must naturally choose someone who is close to him, he said.

"Weifu suggested that Hongshi be the deputy general, and Qi Hou has already agreed. Judging from the current situation, as long as the strength of Jin can be consumed, then Weifu can lead the troops outside for a long time. At that time, we will only have to wait for the arrival of Qi. Something happened inside."

In Tian Qi's opinion, if Meng Di joins him in leading the expedition this time, the odds of winning will be great. At least there will be no such situation as in the previous two alliances of princes. It is good to get a small victory.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and at this time, Weiguo sent envoys to Qiguo to ask for assistance. The purpose is to take back Qiyi. In this way, Weiguo can guarantee the safety of Emperor Qiu to a certain extent.

Otherwise, when the people of the Jin Kingdom calmed down, they could form a siege against Diqiu. Qihou had no choice but to order Guoxia as the main general to lead troops to help Weiguo attack Qiyi.

Tian Qi, who was preparing to go on an expedition, heaved a long sigh after hearing the news, and remained silent for a long time. Tian Chang also looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, his face was full of worry, and he asked.

"Father, what should we do in this situation? Do we continue to prepare for the battle, or wait for Qihou's order? Maybe Gao Zhang and Guoxia will use this opportunity to ask Qihou to cancel the plan to let my Tian clan lead troops to conquer Jin. Chance."

Things have come to this point. To a certain extent, the Tian family, the Guo family and the Gao family are already open enemies. Qihou's illness is the best trigger. May back off.

After Tian Qi frowned and thought for a while, he finally made up his mind, so he said.

"No matter how much, our Tian family will continue to prepare for the war. Since the Marquis of Qi asked Guoxia to lead the army to go out this time, and Qi's food is somewhat insufficient, then I, the Tian family, will donate a batch of food to the Marquis of Qi, and then wait for the news. .”

Marquis Qi appreciated the food donated by the Tian family. Under such circumstances, Gao Zhang and Guo Xia had no chance to make trouble, and could only wait until the end of this battle.

However, at this time, Zhao Yang, the ruler of the Jin State, still besieged Chaoge, but the pace of the siege slowed down. The main reason was the lack of troops, and the news of Wei and Qi sending troops also spread to the Jin State.

Faced with such a situation, Zhao Yang also felt that it was difficult to deal with it. After thinking over and over again, he finally made a decision and ordered Qiyi's Jin army to withdraw. Judging from the current situation, it is not a good time to fight abroad.

Only when the civil strife in the Jin Kingdom is completely eliminated, and Zhao Yang fully controls the overall situation, it will not be too late to settle the accounts of the coalition forces of the princes, so now he chooses to forbear.

So the battle ended without a sound. The two sides stalemate for a while. Seeing that the situation had not changed, seeing this opportunity, Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe discussed and sent envoys to Qi for help.

Hope to use this opportunity to completely resolve the siege of Chaoge.
