Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 256
Chapter 255: The Song Dynasty defected
In Pingyuan City, where the Zhao army is stationed, in the large tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Xin is observing the map. It has been a year since he went south, and the Zhao army has not made much progress. Blocked, since the beginning of spring, Zhao Xin has ordered various armies to launch several consecutive landing battles, but there is no progress, which makes Zhao Xin very distressed.

"How many years, this is really the first time for me, Xin Zhao, to fight such a difficult battle. Pang Kuo and Han Qing are great enemies in the world, but the final victor must be me, Xin Zhao." Looking at the map, Xin Zhao Muttered, although Zhao Xin is full of confidence, the Yellow River is lying there, Zhao Guo has no navy, so he can only look at the river and sigh, and can only continue to order to forcibly cross the river. Zhao Jun has gradually gained the upper hand, and Xin Zhao feels that the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time is coming soon.

Zhao Jun fought hard, and the Qi and Wei armies on the south bank also defended very hard. After all, Zhao Jun's continuous offensive brought a lot of pressure on Qi Wei's south bank defense line, and the soldiers and horses in various places also lost a lot. Then gradually feel strenuous.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, in the main camp of the Qi Army, Han Qing was suffering. After fighting for more than a year, the Qi State was struggling to hold on. The most important thing was that the Chu State, which had just been restored to the south, began to move frequently. Deng Guo’s support, when Deng Sheng said his support, it was not just lip service. Deng Sheng really intended to use Chu State to disrupt the Central Plains, but of course, if you asked Deng Sheng to send troops, he would not send them, but to support some food and grass The military funds are still available, but with the support of Deng Guo, Chu State began to expand its army. From more than 5 people at the beginning, it suddenly expanded to 7 people. Such a huge army cannot be supported by Pengcheng County alone. It started, so the state of Chu came up with the idea of ​​Xiapi County, and kept sending troops to provoke at the border of the two counties, which made the southern line of Qi state jittery.

The provocation of Chu State has made Qi State tireless. Now that Qi State is fighting Zhao State with all its strength, how can there be spare power to deal with Chu State? In desperation, Qi State had to order the withdrawal of Xiapi and Guangling counties. As a result, half of the victories of going south that year were lost, and the strength of Qi State was greatly damaged.

"It's difficult!" Han Qing looked at the map. Just yesterday, Gaotang defender Wang Ti sent someone to say that the Zhao army's offensive was too fierce, and Gaotang was about to be unable to hold on. Complementary to each other, no matter which part is breached by Zhao Jun, the entire defense line will collapse, so Han Qing sent General Liu Ying to lead 8 soldiers and horses to reinforce. With [-] soldiers deployed, if something goes wrong, it will be very difficult for Han Qing to spare any more troops for reinforcements.

But at this time in Gao Tang, there was a group of people staying together to discuss important matters. The leaders were the former Song State General Li Jiqian, the former Song State General Guan Jun, Hu Yansong, and the military adviser Zhao announced.

When the Long family brothers rebelled and Zhang Di left, there was a shortage of generals in the Qi army. Han Qing had to use those generals who had surrendered from the Song Dynasty. In the city of Gaotang, there were originally 3 Qi troops. The military strength has been greatly reduced, and only 2 people are left. Most of the 1 dead are soldiers from the original Song Dynasty. This makes Li Jiqian and others very dissatisfied. Of the Song people, now there are only more than [-] people left, and nearly half of them have been lost. In addition to the Song people who died in the battle between Liguo and Ande, the Song army that surrendered to Qi, there are only so few people left. Li Jiqian He felt that if this situation continued, Song people might die, so he decided to take a risk.

"Everyone, the Qi people don't treat us Song people as human beings. Whenever there is a big war, we Song people will be used as pawns. We have tens of thousands of Song people, and only these ten thousand people are left. If this continues, I am afraid that we will all die. I think we can't just sit here and wait for death, we have to find a way." Li Jiqian said to the crowd.

Guan Jun and the others nodded. These years, they also felt the same way they were treated by the people of Song Dynasty. When they first surrendered to Qi, they received unfair treatment from Qi. They originally thought that as time went by, the people of Qi They will fully accept them. In order to fully integrate into Qi, Song people have always worked hard. At the beginning of the war against Chu, Song people contributed a lot. Later, when they fought against Zhao, Zhao sent people to win Song over and over again. People, Li Jiqian and others were also unmoved, but what they got in exchange was that Qi people treated them like this, and they were also aggrieved in their hearts.

"General, what do you think we should do? We will all listen to you." Guan Jun and the others said humanely.

Li Jiqian was very satisfied with the performance of Guan Jun and others. He was worried that after so many years in Qi, the Song people would have forgotten their original identity. Now Li Jiqian can let go of the big stone in his heart.

Li Jiqian said: "A few days ago, Zhao Jun once again sent someone to contact the general, saying that as long as we can help them capture Gaotang City, they promised that we Song people will get the same status as Zhao people in the future."

"General, can you believe the words of the Zhao people?" Zhao Xuan was a little worried. After all, the Song people had already missed it once, and they must not make another mistake. If there is a little carelessness, the only Song people will die on the battlefield. .

Li Jiqian smiled and said: "I know what the military adviser is worried about, but what I can say is that you can rest assured. Xin Zhao has already said that as long as we Song people don't want to join the army anymore, we can return to Jibei. Go home and farm, as long as you don't do anything that endangers Zhao, we Song people will be safe and sound."

The people of Song Dynasty fought for the country of Qi in the south and north in recent years, and the casualties were very high, which made the army tired of war. Many people hoped to go back to their hometown and visit their relatives. Win over Song people.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Jiqian's words came out, Zhao Xuan and the others were a little moved. After thinking about it, they said in unison: "I will obey the order of the general!"

Li Jiqian nodded with a smile, and said: "Okay, if this is the case, then the general and the military adviser will stabilize Wang Ti and Liu Ying, and General Guan and General Hu Yan are also in charge of the old troops of the generals. When launching an attack, we will fight back and help Zhao Jun take down Gaotang City, then we can return to our hometown."

"Here!" Everyone responded.

In the next few days, Li Jiqian and others began to split up, and those Song people were willing to follow Li Jiqian and others when they learned that they could return to their hometown. Wang Ti and Liu Ying knew nothing about all this.

In Pingyuan City, where Xin Zhao’s army is stationed, after receiving Li Jiqian’s reply, Xin Zhao was overjoyed, and agreed that on March [-], three days later, the Zhao army would launch another landing battle. When the generals fought, the Song army would rebel , The Qi army fought back and helped the Zhao army land.

However, regarding the plan of Li Jiqian and others, the generals of Zhao Jun have doubts. It's not that they don't believe in the defection of Li Jiqian and others. Could it be that the Qi army's tricks were used to lure the Zhao army to attack.

At the beginning, Xin Zhao was also worried about this, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was not a big problem. This time, he defected when the two armies were fighting. Besides, even without Li Jiqian and others, the Zhao army would still launch a landing battle. If it was really the Qi army's strategy, Xin Zhao is also confident to bring the army back safely. After all, the opponent is not a wise general like Han Qing, so Xin Zhao really doesn't care.

On March 18th, 1th year of Qianyuan, Zhao Xin mobilized an army of [-], and once again launched a fierce attack on the Yellow River defense line of the Qi army, but Wang Ti and Liu Ying did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly led troops to reinforce, and the two sides fought again , when the battle was heating up, more than [-] Song troops behind the Qi army began to act.

Li Jiqian looked at the Qi army who was fighting bloody battle, winked at Guan Jun and others, and then everyone sneaked to Wang Ti's side. Then he came to Wang Ti's side.

At this time, Liu Ying on the other side felt something was wrong, and quickly shouted to Wang Ti: "General Wang, be careful of Li Jiqian!"

Wang Ti was taken aback when he heard Liu Ying's words, and then turned around to see Li Jiqian, Guan Jun, and Hu Yansong standing behind him. Wang Ti's scalp went numb, and he said to Li Jiqian and the others, "What do you want to do?"

Li Jiqian didn't say a word, and when he saw that the matter was exposed, he immediately killed Wang Ti, followed by Guan Jun and Hu Yansong. Soon, Wang Ti died in the hands of Li Jiqian and others. Once Wang Ti died, Li Jiqian led his troops Ma broke through the defense line of the Qi army from the inside and welcomed the Zhao army to go ashore. Seeing that the Zhao army had landed, Liu Ying immediately retreated to Gaotang City with the army.
