I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 258 The Battle of Ailing
The ongoing "Battle of Ai Ling" is purely a continuation of Wu State's use of troops by Qi State in recent years. The difference is that Lu State has formally formed an alliance with Wu State last year.

The alliance between Lu State and Wu State was a long-term process. Among them, Lu State disliked Jin State more and more, which accounted for a large part of the reason. Furthermore, Wu State's threat to Lu State was imminent.

In Sanhuan’s brain circuit, Jin’s attack on Qi was to make things worse. Furthermore, Jin had not completely recovered from the internal strife. Wu State went north again and again to target Qi State several times, and the neighboring State of Zhu became Wu State. vassals, it is obvious that Wu State poses a greater threat to Lu State.

The choice of taking the initiative to approach when the threat is enough is a normal state for the Lu State, provided that the two sides have not officially started, not to mention that it is difficult for the Lu State and the Qi State to repair it.

Fu Chai formally dispatched troops last year (485 BC), went northward via the original Huaiyi territory, inspected the excavation project of the canal by the way, and spent several months driving straight to the west of "Ailing", and built a large-scale camp.

Looking at Wu Jun's posture, it is clear that he is planning to intervene for a long time, and it is not the kind of trend that will go after a fight.

At the same time, the Lu army, which was placed in the hands of the Qi army, first experienced the defeat of "Ai Ling" and then another disastrous defeat at "Bo". "Ai" took a rest, and then Uncle Sun Zhouchou went to pay a visit to Fucha in person.

Not long after Wu Jun and Lu Jun joined forces, it seemed that it was only a month later that the Jin Army led by Hu Jie and Zhong Quan was able to reach the territory of Qi State via Wei State.

The time came to 484 BC, and the season was approaching the middle of autumn.

The state of Qi, which has repeatedly been in decline, should be thankful that Yan Ying was building the "Great Wall" when he was in power earlier, and the section of the Great Wall near Mount Tai was completed.

Qi also built the Great Wall?They originally built the Great Wall to resist the Jin army, which was bigger and bigger every time. How could they think that it would be used to resist the invasion of the Wu army?
Since the Great Wall was built during the reign of Yan Ying, it means that it was not for the purpose of guarding against the state of Jin under the administration of Zhixuan or Zhao Yang, but the state of Jin under the administration of Shi Yang.

At present, the scale of the "Great Wall" built by Qi State is not very good. In history, the real scale will not be formed until after the Tian family replaces Qi.

The latter Great Wall of Qi was built very long, starting from Pingyin on the south bank of Jishui River in the north, reaching Langya on the coast of the sea in the east, and reaching Mount Tai in the middle.

It was built from the time of Yan Ying, resisted the Jin army, Lu army, and Wu army, and later became used in Zhao, Wei, Chu, and Qin, and then was demolished in the Qin unification era. The ones that were demolished disappeared after years of erosion.

"Our army hasn't arrived yet?" Zhiyao has now arrived at the place 'Qiu Yu'.

By the way, what is Zhiyao doing here?That must be watching the upcoming "Battle of Ailing" nearby.

The "our army" refers to the Jin army led by Hu Jie and Zhong Quan.They dawdled on the road, and stopped and stopped after entering the territory of Qi State. It seemed that they deliberately slowed down their arrival at the battlefield.

As a result, Zhiyao and Wei Ju arrived near "Ailing", while the Jin army led by Hu Jie and Zhong Quan was still dawdling on the Gema Mountain in the distance.

Of course, it has something to do with Zhiyao and Wei Ju rushing to rush with more than 3000 people.

The reason why Wei Ju came here was actually because he wanted to see Wu Jun's combat effectiveness for himself.

The State of Jin knew that the State of Wu had risen rapidly in recent years, but the two countries had never had a direct confrontation. Most of the State of Jin's understanding of the State of Wu was hearsay.

Now that it has been regarded as a threat, there will be a head-to-head confrontation in the future, and it will be observed as closely as possible during the outbreak of the "Battle of Ailing" in the near future, although it is a rare opportunity to take risks.

"The Qi army and the Wu army both have [-] soldiers." Zhiyao simply didn't mention the Lu army.

Although the Lu army also has more than 2 people, the problem is that the Lu people are weak, and they have been defeated repeatedly. The combat effectiveness itself is not that strong, and the morale is extremely low.This point was seriously highlighted because the Jin army who came to aid did not arrive at "Ai Ling".

Wei Ju said with great emotion: "In recent years, the scale of wars has become larger and larger, and tens of thousands of troops are no longer able to control the situation."

There were only two countries that were able to mobilize more than [-] troops at every turn, the overlord of the Central Plains, Jin, and the southern overlord of Chu. Later, soon after Wu joined the "[-] Club", Qi and Song also began to riot.

Therefore, there are now five countries that can deploy more than [-] troops, and Wu, Qi, and Song belong to the backward generation.

In fact, there is another country that has already used more than [-] troops.This country is Qin, and the embarrassing thing is that they have drawn everyone into the army. The quality of their soldiers is far worse than that of Jin, Chu, Wu, Qi, and Song, and they are not treated seriously by the members of the "Hundred Thousand Club".

"Qi Jun Guoshu 'general' in the army, Gao Wupi' general' in the army, Zonglou' in the army; Such as 'General' Youjun." Zhiyao is actually quite unfamiliar to many people.

Those generals who commanded the army were all grand dukes without exception. Some of them were famous in a certain area, but their reputation was limited to the local area and failed to reach the level of being famous across the country.In addition to the difficulty of information transmission, the more important thing is that we did not win a big enough battle.

What is the right army?
Most of Zhou Tianzi's feudal states consisted of three "armies", generally the middle army, the upper army, and the lower army.

The country of Jin was the first to cross over, creating a new army.

During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there were some establishments such as the Central Army, the Left Army, and the Right Army, so that there were two official positions of "Left Division" and "Right Division", and they still had the authority of the left and right prime ministers.

Time went to the late Spring and Autumn Period, Chu, Song, Wu, Yue and other southern countries had both the military system of the Zhou royal family and the system inherited from the Yin and Shang Dynasties. In short, it was very chaotic.

Wei Ju said, "If Lord Qi hasn't arrived, hasn't Zhengqing either?"

No matter how you look at it, the battle that took place in "Ai Ling" can be regarded as a battle of national destiny, right?Qi Guo actually didn't pay much attention to it.

Zhiyao thought to herself: "Tian Qi wants to get rid of Yang Sheng, and his thoughts of internal fighting are stronger than that of the national war; after Yang Sheng came to power, he showed a cruel and stupid side, and it is very likely that he has not realized the seriousness of the matter."

These Zhiyao will not tell Wei Ju.

In today's era, even if they are important ministers of the same country, there is no such thing as information sharing at all.How serious is it?Take the Zhao family who once knew that the Qin army was going to attack the state of Jin as an example. They kept their mouths shut and watched the Qin army attack the state of Jin. Li Shu of Han's fiefdom.

In fact, Jin is not alone in that situation, and all the other countries are the same, but no one thinks there is anything wrong.Note that everyone thinks it should be like that, not very few people.

Therefore, any era has its own three views, which is simply too correct.

Zhiyao said: "The Qi army wanted to fight with the 'Fangcheng', but the Wu army acted majesticly."

This "Fangcheng" is the Great Wall, but it is currently called Fangcheng.

The first country to build the Great Wall was not in the north. In fact, the first country to build the Great Wall was Chu State, which was located in the northeast of modern Henan.Zhiyao knew this only after reading history books.

At present, the [-] Qi army is divided into several parts. Guoshu only has about [-] troops, including the two legions of Gaowupi and Zonglou. city.

Fu Chai also split up the [-] troops, about [-] were stationed in the construction camp, and the remaining [-] were on the edge of "Qufu", the capital of Lu State.

There is a foreign army on the edge of your own capital?The people of Lu finally realized that the people of Wu didn't pay attention to martial arts, and they were very afraid that the Wu army would launch a surprise attack on "Qufu" at any time.

Does Qi Guo or Wu Guo know that Zhiyao and Wei Ju are coming?
In view of the fact that the land is vast and the population is sparsely populated, the Qi State did not realize it until Zhi Yao and more than [-] people appeared in "Qiu Yu".

Wu Guo didn't know there was such a team from Jin Guo near "Qiu Yu"?
At first, Guo Shu thought that the reinforcements from the Jin Kingdom were the forwards, but when he saw Zhiyao and Wei Ju in person, he was completely stunned. Later, he realized that Zhiyao and Wei Ju were purely spectators, and the Jin army that really came to support was still there. in the far distance.

Does Qi Guo, who knows the whereabouts of Zhiyao and Wei Ju, want to do something?Qi State is in desperate need of foreign aid now, and will not act if it has an idea.

Furthermore, although Zhiyao and Wei Ju had only [-] troops around them, there was a Jin army of about [-] stationed at "Tan" on the south bank of Jishui.

If there is a problem with Zhiyao and Wei Ju, with the fighting power of the Zhi family and the Wei family's new army, whether it is a long-distance breakout or a short-distance to find a favorable terrain to defend and wait for help, stick to the Jin army on the south bank of Jishui Come to the rescue is always no problem.

The reason why Zhiyao and Wei Ju are so courageous is that it has a lot to do with Qi State dispatching an army of [-] to deal with Wu State. They are not at all worried that Qi State will attack with a large army, but they have to guard against assassination or poisoning. means.

"It's a pity that Bolu, Geng, You, and Wu didn't come." Wei Ju said.

The unnatural expression on Zhiyao's face flashed away.He knew very well why these people didn't come, Zhao Bolu was busy borrowing food, Han Geng was trying to form an alliance against Zhishi last time, Hu You and Zhong Wu were not suitable to come.

The fathers are all in charge of the army, Hu You and Zhong Wu are really here, whoever decides the domestic affairs should go to the father's tent to serve in the local area.

There is only one reason why Zhiyao and Wei Ju stayed in "Qiu Yu" and did not move. Qi Jun and Wu Jun are still in formation, and their appearance on the battlefield will make both sides feel uneasy.

One day when the Wu army and the Qi army started a decisive battle, they tried to get as close to the battlefield as possible to find a good opportunity to watch on high ground.

According to a series of spying by scouts and secret agents, the intelligence shows that the battle between Qi Jun and Wu Jun will be in the near future...
