General Qin

Qin Jun is in the tent.

Li Shiqi looked at the silent appearance of the generals, stroked his beard and smiled.

Among the people present, he was the only one who had been to Linzi in person.

This added authenticity to Li Shiqi's words. Even the lieutenant general Tu Sui, who proposed the blitz attack on Qi, couldn't help but think about the flaws of this strategy.

The reason why Li Shiqi denied this strategy was that he had other strategies in mind.

He believed that General Zhao understood him.

Sure enough, General Zhao asked with a smile, "I don't know if Mr. Qi has a plan to destroy Qi?"

Li Shiqi immediately cupped his hands and said: "I am not talented, but I do have a plan to offer to the general. If I can help our Qin army destroy Qi, it will be my luck."

"Well, you Gaoyangjiu... Li Sheng, I want to hear what you have to say."

Hei Hip barked for a while, thinking of the current situation, changed his address, and asked.

The generals also turned their attention to the middle-aged strategist.

Zhao Tuo stretched out his hand to invite, "Sir, please tell me."

"Ahem..."

Li Shiqi cleared his throat, and said, "I used to go to Linzi as an envoy, and I met Qi Wangjian and Xiangbang Tianjia."

"In my humble opinion, although Qi Wangjian is the monarch of a country, he is born in the hands of women in deep palaces. He has no independent opinions. When his mother was alive, he listened to her mother's words. Since he had neither, he was terrified, and was hijacked by He Tianjia, a member of the Four Kingdoms, to do the same thing that Lian Chu resisted Qin. But in fact, Qi Wangjian was very afraid of us, Qin, and he was in Chu After the fall of the country, it is an example of wanting to personally enter the Qin Dynasty to meet the king."

"As for Tian Jia, according to my humble opinion, this person is also a coward. He was bewitched by the people of the Four Kingdoms before and sent 100,000 troops to attack our East Commandery. , turned against those people from the Four Kingdoms, which shows that this person is as cowardly as a mouse."

When Li Shiqi reached this point, his eyes lit up, and his voice suddenly became high-pitched.

"That's why I think that if the general wants to win all the merits of attacking Qi this time, he should be able to say that Wang Jian of Qi and his prime minister are false!"

"As long as these two men surrender, the whole land will be two thousand miles away, and more than seventy cities will be defeated without a fight. The name of the general will also be shaken in the world, and they will get the power to destroy everything!"

Said to descend to Qi?

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the tent.

Immediately afterwards, there was a low laugh.

Tu Sui smiled and shook his head, with disdain flashing in his eyes.

Hei Hiu covered his stomach and laughed loudly: "I'm so ridiculous. I saw you talking about it just now, and thought you had a good plan? The result is that you want to surrender the king of Qi and let him lay down dozens of cities and hundreds of thousands of troops. The whole country directly surrendered us?"

"Li Sheng, Li Sheng, what you said is really funny. Who do you think you are? Even if Su Yi and Zhang Qin are alive, it is absolutely impossible to say that you have surrendered to a country. Your strategy is really a joke."

Black Butt laughed.

"Su Zi is named Qin, and Zhang Zi is named Yi."

Li Shiqi rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with people like Heihip, so he only looked at Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the wooden table in front of him.

He was recalling the original battle against Qi.

In history, Wang Ben launched a war against Qi State in the second year after destroying Yan and Dai.

Facing Qin's attack, Qi was not without resistance.

Qi Wangjian and Housheng sent troops to garrison the western boundary of Qi State, which is now the line between Zhencheng and Ayi.

Although the specific battle process is not recorded in the history books, according to Zhao Tuo's speculation, it is very likely that Wang Ben used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain in that battle.

Wang Ben led his troops south from Yandi, crossed the river, and entered Linzi from the north of Qi State.

The Qin army bypassed the main force of the Qi State, surrounded Linzi with soldiers, and sent envoys to persuade them to surrender.

Under such circumstances, Qi Xiang Housheng and a group of pro-Qin factions within Qi also followed suit, and finally made Qi Wangjian surrender without a fight and successfully destroy Qi.

It's not that Zhao Tuo didn't think about copying Wang Ben's tactics.

Before he won over Li Shiqi, a lobbyist and strategist, he was preparing for the surrender of Qi.

But compared with the original history, this era has undergone great changes.

The Qi Xiang Housheng who persuaded Qi Wangjian to surrender was assassinated, and even the pro-Qin forces within Qi were wiped out by the people of the four countries and Tianjia.

Later victory Qi Wangjian had a great influence, and it was the key to the surrender of Qi State in history.

There is no success, after Zhao Tuo thought about it, he finally did not dare to copy Wang Ben's style of play.

He had no choice but to choose another strategy, and decided to fight steadily. Except for Meng Tian, ​​a spare surprise soldier, he led his own army to push all the way from Dongjun.

The reason why Dongjun was chosen as the main direction of attack is because this place is close to the river and very close to the Ao Cang in Xingyang. Through the transfer of the Qin Army's boat division, it can easily supply 200,000 troops with food and fodder without any logistical problems.

The Qin army launched an offensive from Dongjun, attacked the cities all the way, and approached Linzi, the capital of Qi. This is the most domineering and safe way of attack.

Zhao Tuo believed that even if Wang Jian came to lead the army, he would definitely make the same choice as him.

It's just that now when Li Shiqi mentioned the matter of surrendering King Jian of Qi, Zhao Tuo saw that he was quite confident, and couldn't help but become active.

He took advantage of the situation and asked: "Sir, it would be great if you can say that King Jianhetian surrendered to surrender Qi and decide Qi State in one fell swoop. But now Qi State is preparing to prepare for war with 300,000 conscripts to reject our Qin army. War heart, can An Neng say surrender easily?"

Zhao Tuo's words were also the reason why the generals laughed at Li Shiqi.

People are going to conscript the whole country, and after fighting with you to the end, you still think about surrendering to others, this is just out of your mind.

Li Shiqi laughed loudly and said, "If you want to surrender, it's actually not difficult. You only need to defeat the Qi army by 300,000 in one battle."

"At that time, our army will bring a mighty force of 300,000 Qi troops to the capital of Qi, and all the Qi people in the custody city will be terrified. Qi Wangjian and Tian Jia are terrified."

"I took advantage of the situation to enter Linzi, and I only need to spend a lot of talking to persuade Qi Wangjian to surrender the whole country!"

"The world-shattering feat of destroying the country will all be in the hands of the general!"

As Li Shiqi's words fell, the sound of cold air in the tent kept ringing.

"Break three hundred thousand soldiers in Qi's army in one battle? What a big tone, are you going to let Qi's conscription be completed, and then fight another big battle? What a joke!"

Heibutt was speechless, three hundred thousand, this number alone was scary enough.

Xi Qigu also shook his head and said: "It sounds good to threaten the king of Qi to surrender with the threat of defeating the 300,000 army, but it's a 300,000 army, so it's not so easy to defeat. It's better to take advantage of the fact that the Qi army has not yet been recruited. It’s good to break it apart.”

Facing the doubts from the generals, Li Shiqi said with a smile: "What you generals said is reasonable. But I feel that if the 300,000 Qi troops are gathered together, it will be much easier to fight than if they are separated."

Is it easier for the 300,000 Qi troops to gather together than to fight separately?

Just when everyone was stunned.

I saw Tu Sui slapped his palms together, and shouted: "Good strategy! Take the 300,000 Qi army in one pot, and then use the power of this great victory to directly force the king of Qi to surrender, good! 300,000 Qi army, indeed! It's a chicken and a dog, it will rot if you kick it!"

Soon, knowledgeable generals like Shejian, Zhao Guang, and Zhonglimei all responded and applauded.

"If the 300,000 Qi troops can really gather together, our army will surely win this battle!"

On the main seat, Zhao Tuo's eyes were also shining, looking at Li Shiqi's eyes full of admiration.

Although this Gaoyang alcoholic has never led a soldier on the battlefield, he has a deep understanding of the military struggle.

Leading troops is not the more the better.

Once the soldiers under him exceed their own ability to lead troops, it will no longer be a help, but will become a disaster.

Just like the legend that "Han Xin orders troops, the more the better", a character like Liu Bang can only lead 100,000 soldiers.

Does Qi State Grand Sima Tianchong really have the ability to command 300,000 people to fight?

Not to mention that the quality of soldiers is also there, like Qin is already considered the most capable country in the world.

But before each conscription goes to battle, it takes some time to train the soldiers' queues, golden drums, and let the soldiers cooperate with each other, otherwise it will be easy to mess up on the battlefield.

However, Qi, a country that has not gone through war for more than 40 years, is usually neglected in training, and its soldiers are recruited hastily. Once they go to the battlefield, I am afraid that many people will not even stand in line, or even listen to the golden drum and distinguish the flag. .

When the drums of war were sounded, some people would move forward, some people would move backward, and there would be chaos in an instant.

This is the case for ordinary soldiers, and the middle and low-level military officials, and even senior generals are probably not much different.

If the Qi army went to the battlefield in such a state, it must be a mess.

It would be even more serious if they were to increase their number to 200,000 to 300,000 in one go.

As long as one is destroyed, 300,000 will be destroyed.

As Li Shiqi said, it was much easier for the 300,000 Qi troops to gather together than to fight separately.

And if the Qin army can really defeat the 300,000 Qi army in one battle, it will surely shock the world.

With the power of this great victory, Zhao Tuo came to the capital of Qi. After some intimidation, it was very possible for Li Shiqi to persuade Qi Wangjian to surrender.

"Mr. Li's strategy is very good. I should personally write a letter and invite the Great Sima to gather troops here and fight me for a real gentleman's battle!"

Zhao Tuo smiled.

He believed that Da Sima would be willing.

Just when Zhao Tuo decided to adopt Li Shiqi's strategy of destroying Qi, short soldiers came to report.

"General, the State of Qi has sent an envoy to request an interview with the General, and he has a letter from the Great Sima of the State of Qi."

"Historical Records: The Book of the First Emperor of Qin": In the twenty-sixth year, Qi Wangjian and his minister Sheng Sheng sent troops to guard the western border, but they could not communicate with Qin. Qin sent General Wang Ben to attack Qi from Yannan and won Qi Wangjian.

"Historical Records Tian Jingzhong's family": Qin soldiers hit Qi. The king of Qi listened to the plan and then surrendered to Qin with troops without fighting.
