The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Qi Gong Tian

Wu asked Tian Shou:"General Tian Shou is going to attack Song Dynasty. Is the army ready?" Tian Shou stood up and replied:"Your Majesty, the army of 100,000 is ready. This time Qi State will attack Song Dynasty. The whole territory of Taoyi, and this battle must make the Song State surrender to our Qi State."

After hearing this, the Duke of Qi laughed and said:"Well, you are indeed the great general of our Qi State. I am waiting for the news of your army's victory in Linzi alone." Prime Minister Tian Li stood up and said,"Your Majesty, you must not send troops to attack Song. If all the elites of Qi State go to attack Song State, the country will be empty and we may be attacked by Chu State."

After hearing this, Qi Gong laughed and said,"Prime Minister, You are too cowardly. Our Qi State is strong. Chu State is a southern barbarian country. Even Chu State does not dare to attack our Qi State. Even if he attacks our Qi State, our Qi State still has 200,000 soldiers. Scholars, why are you afraid of Chu?"

"Your Majesty, the State of Chu has nearly one million troops. Although most of the army of Chu State is in the hands of the princes from all over the State of Chu, now the King of Chu also has 300,000 soldiers and 200,000 elite soldiers. The country's national strength is also very strong, and it is a powerful country second only to Wei! It would be better for Qi State not to attack Song State."Tian Li persuaded bitterly. Qi Gong said unhappily:"Prime Minister, there is no need to say more. Our Qi State will definitely attack Song State this time. Disperse the dynasty."After Prime Minister Tian Li came out, he sighed, Qi State is in danger! One hundred thousand martial arts warriors from Qi State's Linzi Camp were inspecting the school grounds. Qi State General Tian Shou walked up to the high platform and looked at the one hundred thousand army below. He said loudly:" Soldiers, are you prepared for this attack on Song Dynasty?"

""It's done."

Tian Shou said again:"Soldiers, are you willing to work with me to expand the territory of Qi?""

"willing! willing! Tian

Shou was very happy when he saw the morale of the army was so high, and said:"Soldiers, our army will win this time!""We must win!" Must win!"The whole army sets out," Tian Shou pulled out his sword, pointed in the direction of the Song Dynasty and said. When the

Song Dynasty court heard that the Qi Kingdom had sent a hundred thousand troops to attack the Song Dynasty, Song Gong was worried and asked:"My lords, now, the Qi Kingdom is attacking." I am the Song Dynasty, what should I do with the Song Dynasty?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but no one came forward to answer. Song Gong said again:"My lords, I have not treated you badly before. I hope you can help our Song Dynasty get out of danger. Prime Minister Lu Ting stood up and said:"

Your Majesty, I think you should immediately organize an army to resist Qi, and second, ask for help from Chu and Wei. Chu and Wei are the most powerful countries in the world today. We should ask Chu and Wei for help." Please ask for help, our country, Song Dynasty, will definitely be able to survive this crisis. After hearing this, Duke Song said:"The Prime Minister's words are good, so just follow him."

Song Gong asked again:"Everyone, who can be the general of the army this time?" Prime Minister Lu Ting stood up again and replied:"Your Majesty recommends Dr. You Bopu to be a general. You Bopu once went to Jixia Academy of Qi to study, and studied Confucianism and military strategism. This man has martial arts and is good at battle. This man will definitely be able to serve as a general." Prevent the Qi army from attacking our Song Dynasty.

After hearing this, Duke Song immediately said:"Just follow what the prime minister said.""——Your Majesty is Holy Ming.

At this time, the Qi army marched quickly and captured the Zuo family in just two days. They were only separated from Taoyi by Jishui River. Taocheng, 60,000 Song troops had gathered in Taocheng. Song general You Bopu stood in On the city, looking towards the north bank of Jishui River, I saw that the north bank stretched for more than ten miles, all bearing the flag of Qi.

The camp of one hundred thousand troops had flags flying like purple streamers during the day, and lights as bright as day at night, illuminating the entire north shore. You Bopu was struggling in his heart and couldn't help but clenched his right hand into a fist. The deputy general on the side said:"General, our army has built a defense line in Jishui. I wonder if the general has any other orders?"

You Bopu thought for a while and then said:"The whole army is here. Defend first, do not fight the enemy without permission. The entire defense line is built into two lines. The first line of defense guards 10,000, the second line of defense guards 20,000, and the city guards 30,000. The first line of defense is led by you. Remember, Hold on as long as you can. If you can't hold on, immediately retreat to the second line of defense."——yes.

Qi State Camp

Tian Shouzheng was looking at the map. His younger brother Tian Shu said:"General Song has stationed 60,000 troops on this defense line. It is difficult for our army to attack!"

After Tian Shou read the map, he pointed to the two sides of the map. Zuochengchi said:"It is not difficult for our army to break through this defense line. Tian Shu, do you know how Wei broke through Zhao's Zhangshui defense line?" After hearing this, Tian Shu thought for a while and said,"I don't know."

"At that time, Wei general Wei Si first pretended to attack the Zhangshui defense line, and then sent a partial division north along the Zhangshui River to capture Renren and Feicheng. In this way, Zhao's Zhangshui defense line seemed to be in vain. Naturally, the Wei army crossed the Zhangshui River and surrounded Handan."Tian Shou explained slowly, as if he was the leader of the Wei army in that war.

Tian Shu said:"The general wants us to do what the Wei army did.""That's right, I ordered all the army generals to come to my tent to discuss matters."Tian Shou ordered——obey.

After a while, Tian Shou saw that all the generals had arrived and said:"Everyone, the Song State has set up layers of defense lines in Jishui. I have already thought of how to break through this line of defense." When everyone heard this, they were worthy of being a famous general of Qi State. He quickly figured out how to break through the defense.

A general asked:"The general has already figured it out. How should we attack?" Tian Shou chuckled and said:"Actually, it is quite simple to break through this defense line. Although the opponent has set up layers of defense lines in Jishui, there are many obstacles along the way. It's over to the east of Jishui River."

After hearing this, everyone was thinking, and a general asked:"General, I don't know." Tian Shou explained:"Everyone, please see, along the east side of Jishui River, our army Send a partial division to capture Maocheng and Shanyang, so that the opponent's Jishui defense line will be in vain. After that, our army will immediately capture Liangqiu and Gaocheng. Disconnect Taoyi from Shangqiu, the capital of the Song Dynasty, so that Shangqiu will surely Send reinforcements to support, and our army will ambush the Song army here in Nanshan." After hearing this, everyone said:"General's brilliant plan."

Finally, Tian Shou said:"Everyone, please see, our army will first use 70,000 troops to fight against Jishui. The Song army on the defensive line faced off. General Tian Shu led an army of 30,000 people, marched eastward along the Jishui River, crossed the Jishui River, and immediately occupied Maocheng and Shanyang. After that, he divided his troops into 20,000 troops to capture Liangqiu and Gaocheng, and finally divided his troops into another. Wan, ambushing in Nanshan""General's brilliant plan!"The crowd said. Youbopu, the Song Army's camp

, looked at the map and said to the deputy general on the side:"You lead five thousand troops and defend together with the Liangqiu defenders. This way our army can form a horned force, which can prevent the enemy from coming from behind. I am attacking from the rear. Remember that you have to transfer all the defenders of Gaocheng to Liangqiu for defense. As long as Liangqiu is not lost, even if the enemy army moves east along Jishui River and captures Maocheng and Shanyang, the enemy army will not be able to If Tao Di is disconnected from Shangqiu and Liangqiu is not lost, it means that Maocheng and Shanyang are not lost, and the enemy cannot cross Liangqiu to capture Gaocheng. As long as these two cities are not lost, our Song Dynasty will definitely be defeated. Qi Jun"——obey.

Tian Ji was playing chess with Sun Bin in Tian Ji's Mansion of Qi State. Tian Ji asked:"Mr. Sun Bin, what do you think of the Song Dynasty's defense line?" Sun Bin smiled and said:"Brother Tian Ji, it is indeed difficult to capture the Song Dynasty's defense line, but if he doesn't If we defend Liangqiu well, this line of defense is worth it."

Tian Ji was puzzled and asked:"Why did the Song Dynasty have to defend Liangqiu? Is it true that as long as we defend Liangqiu, our army can be prevented from moving eastward along the Jishui River? ?" Sun Bin said:"Brother Tian Ji, you see, if our army goes eastward along the Jishui River, it will definitely capture Maocheng and Shanyang. However, our army will not completely win, because as long as the Song Dynasty holds Liangqiu, it will After all, the defense line east of Jishui is equivalent to holding, and Liang Qiu is protecting Gaocheng. Our army will not be able to capture Gaocheng, and the connection between Taodi and Shangqiu cannot be severed."

Tian Ji added:" Mr. Sun Bin, why did the Song Dynasty have to defend Liangqiu?"

Sun Bin explained:"Liangqiu is a big city. As long as Liangqiu is captured, the city of Gao will be destroyed. Liangqiu captures the west and threatens the capital of the Song Dynasty. But the Song army that surrounded Taocheng and threatened the Jishui defense line. If our army bypasses Liangqiu and attacks Gaocheng, it will be like chicken ribs. It is tasteless and a pity to abandon. Only by capturing Liangqiu can we reach the west. Threatening the capital of the Song Dynasty, the Song army can attack the Jishui defense line in the north."

Tian Ji said:"What if the generals of the Song Dynasty send heavy troops to defend Liangqiu, what should our army do?"

Sun Bin smiled and said:"If the enemy really sends heavy troops to defend Liangqiu, Qiu, our army only needs to move the tiger away from the mountain. First, it divides its troops to capture the defense city next to Liangqiu, so that the enemy does not know our army's battle plan, and then captures Gaocheng. The enemy mistakenly thinks that our army will capture Liangqiu here for a long time. In fact, our large army pretended to go north to annihilate the Song army along the Jishui defense line with the army, and then sent 10,000 people to set up an ambush in Nanshan. Since the enemy army could not know the movements of our army, they must be confused and would definitely send scouts to check. When the other party found out that our army was going to deal with the Song army on the water defense line, the Liangqiu defenders would definitely follow our army and try to catch them by surprise. At this time, our army immediately turned and headed towards Nanshan to lure the enemy deeper and set up an ambush in Nanshan. The army will annihilate the Liangqiu defenders. And our army left behind in Gaocheng will immediately attack Liangqiu at night."

After hearing this, Tian Ji said:"Sir, you are really a great talent!"
