Destiny Only Han

Chapter 253 Qi Wang Tianguang: The Vast Ocean of the People's War!

Jibei County, Li Xiacheng.

The black cloud overwhelms the city and wants to destroy it.

On the second day after the Qi generals Hua Wushang and Tian Jie stationed here left, they rushed to cross the river day and night, and the mighty Han army marching southward began to attack here.

If you look down from the sky at this moment, you will find that the boundless Han army is like a vast ocean, and Lixia City is like a flat boat in the ocean.

But at this moment, in Lixia City, where the garrison of Qi State was in the army, he was not in the mood to appreciate the scene in front of him.

Earlier, the general told them that the state of Qi had negotiated peace with the state of Han, but when they turned their heads, the Han army surrounded Lixia City with nothing to pass!
They didn't know whether it was the general who deceived them, or the Han army on the opposite side was treacherous, but one thing they knew was that if they resisted in a corner, they would die!
Therefore, before Han Xin opened up his posture to attack the city, the defenders who went down to the city took the initiative to open the city gate, throwing away their helmets and armor and begging to surrender.

When Liu Ying used Qi's private salt dealers to destroy Qi's economy, she also launched a public opinion war at the same time.

Well, to say that it is a public opinion war is nothing more than passing on the practices of the Han army in Guanzhong and Zhaodi with a little modification.

The Han army is different from the Chu army. Most of the soldiers are innocent peasants. Under the constraints of Han Xin's military discipline, they have basically done nothing wrong with Minqiu.

Well, stealing food by ordering firewood doesn't count.

More importantly, since the Han army fought this way, there is no record of killing and surrendering except for the criminal army who was full of crimes and aroused public anger.

What's more, the Qi State disappeared more than ten years ago. What the Qi State brings to the Qi people today is not wealth and glory, but endless wars and hunger.

From the bottom of their hearts, they don't intend to give their lives to such a country.

These points are the reasons why the Qi army, who was besieged in the isolated city, voluntarily asked to surrender.

In the middle of the day, when Han Xin was busy recruiting the Qi army and establishing a supply line, Liu Ying had lunch and began to wander around the city.

Li Xiacheng was the later Jinan.

Although the vicissitudes of life have changed, Baotu Spring has been flowing for thousands of years.

Liu Ying walked all the way in the city, but what she saw was the same as Zhao Guo, but not the same scene.

The same is because most of the people in the city are in tattered clothes, skinny, and disheveled, but they are not the same. Although the buildings in the city are dilapidated, the prosperity of the past can be seen from the overall framework.

"People in Qi sow in spring and harvest in autumn, right?"

On the carriage, Liu Ying looked at Xiao Lu beside her, and asked a question without thinking.

Although Xiao Lu was a little puzzled, he still nodded: "Yes."

Liu Ying asked again: "That is to say, it is now the slack season in Qi, right?"

Xiao Lu still nodded: "Yes."

Liu Ying knocked on the carriage: "Let's go back to the camp!"

Zhao Yao, who was driving, turned around and asked, "Huh? Don't you want to see the spring?"

Liu Ying smiled and said: "The spring water has not been dried for thousands of years, so don't worry...Go back to the camp first, I have something important to discuss with the general!"

Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, a little surprised that Liu Ying said that the spring water had not been used for thousands of years, but he didn't take it to heart, so he walked half a circle around the place and drove to the military camp outside the city.

"what?"

Han Xin, who was busy, raised his head and stared at Liu Ying with some unbelievable ears: "Let Zhao Diminfu go back? They are gone, who will transfer the army's food and grass? Are you going to push the cart, or I will go?"

Liu Ying shook her head: "Never go."

Han Xin laughed loudly: "Don't go? Then what do you eat?"

The old God Liu Ying was saying: "I say I won't go, but it doesn't mean no one will go!"

"Now that we have laid down cities in Qidi, the task of transporting food and grass is just left to the people of Qi! Anyway, we won't let them do it for nothing, and we won't deduct wages and rations. Are you afraid that no one can be found to do it?"

Well, this is the way he thought of to win people's hearts after seeing the impoverished Qi people.

The year before last, Xiang Yu broke through Qi, burned, killed and looted, and took all the wealth that Qi people had accumulated after the Qin State destroyed Qi.

Last year, in order to protect the environment and the people, Tian Heng and others wantonly expanded the army, which consumed more than [-]% of Qi's social wealth.

After they managed to stabilize the economy, Liu Ying started to play a trade war again...

Although the Qi State is big, it has suffered such successive blows. From the powerful to the common people, the word "poor" is almost engraved on their faces...

Sending charcoal in a timely manner is always a good way to win people's hearts.

If it is the Taiping Festival, start a wave of disaster relief, and then spread a wave of loans, and pull a wave of infrastructure, and the people of Qi can get out of the predicament.

But now, the landlord's family has no food left, and Liu Ying is also very poor!
Therefore, we can only give the people of Qi a chance to support themselves by means of labor relief.

Stay at home, starve and suffer from cold, go out to work, and earn money with food!
Believe me, no one will choose the former.

Han Xin thought for a while, limited by his own flaws, so he still couldn't figure out what Liu Ying said about winning people's hearts.

But since Liu Ying brought it up, this face still has to be given.

Anyway, whether it is Qi people or Zhao people, as long as the army of 8 people can be guaranteed to have food and clothing, the rest doesn't matter.

After chatting briefly with Han Xin, Liu Ying walked out of the tent, found Xiao Lu who was outside, and asked the other party to complete his plan.

Most of human abilities are acquired through exercise.

If Xiao Lu is trained, it is equivalent to having a prime minister who is highly loyal and well-connected.

"Go to the city and the surrounding counties and towns to post bulletins, and recruit Qi people's husbands to transport supplies for the army, ten dollars a day, one bucket of grain..."

"Well, by the way, Flying Pigeon sent a letter to Guanzhong, and asked them to bring a batch of ocher clothes along the river, winter clothes!"

Most of these ocher clothes are inventory left over from the Qin Dynasty, and they just happened to be sold to the working Qi people to regenerate their blood...

Xiao Lu nodded, turned around and went back to the tent to write the documents.

Liu Ying looked at Zhao Yao aside: "Write a letter to King Zhao, saying that the plan to build the canal can be advanced..."

King Zhao is Zhang Er.

As for Liu Ying's plan to build water canals, it means that after these Zhao people's husbands are replaced by Qi people, Zhao will have a group of idle labor.

Taking advantage of the slack season in winter to simply build some irrigation canals, they will be used to irrigate the rejuvenated wheat fields in spring.

Liu Ying's arrangement actually had selfish motives in it.

After he raised a large sum of money in Qin State, he became the creditor of more than [-] Zhao households.

For Huang Shiren who didn't want Xi'er, Yang Bailao naturally wanted to be as rich as possible.

Adding farmyard manure and water to irrigate the field can increase the yield of crops by at least half at the current stage.

In this way, the pressure on Yang Bailao and others to repay the loan is much less.

Liu Ying couldn't help laughing when she thought that she could recover a considerable part of the loan during the summer harvest.

This made Cao Shen, who happened to pass by here, feel a little creepy...

…………

Qi State Linzi.

The news that the Han army attacked on a large scale and Li Xiacheng surrendered without a fight spread to the palace of King Qi half a day later.

Qi Wang Tianguang was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

The guards he sent to capture Li Shiqi immediately reported back that the mission of the Han Dynasty had already disappeared without a trace...

So Tian Guang and Tian Heng agreed that Li Shiqi's coming to persuade them to surrender was just a tactic to slow down their troops and make them relax their vigilance!
The approach of the Han army is just like when they conquered the Three Qin Dynasty, they built plank roads openly and crossed Chencang secretly!
shameless!
Shameless!
Tian Guang held up a glass handicraft that Li Shiqi had given as a gift, and wanted to smash it to vent his anger, but in the end he felt a little bit reluctant, so he put it down, replaced it with a copper incense burner and smashed it down heavily.

clang clang...

Tian Heng stared at the censer rolling on the ground for a while, then shook his head and sighed: "Lixia fell, the defenders surrendered without a fight, Hua Wushang and Tian Jie were wiped out, Linzi can't hold it anymore, why don't we defend it today?" Anyway, let’s think about how to deal with it!”

Qi Xiang Tian Guang and General Tian Ji on the side agreed, letting Tian Guang temporarily put down his anger and discuss countermeasures with them.

Tian Guang took a few deep breaths, and said as if he had made up his mind: "Write a letter to Xiang Yu, as long as he can solve the crisis of Qi State, from now on, the people of Qi will bow their heads and profess their ministers, and they will never rebel!"

Tian Heng suddenly opened his eyes wide: "You're crazy! Xiang Yu, that's the mortal enemy of the Qi people. If he doesn't die, how can those Qi people who died rest in peace!"

Tian Ji at the side also echoed his words: "Exactly, if we make peace with the people of Chu, how can we bring the people of Qi back to their hearts?"

Tian Guang had no choice but to say, "Then say, with the strength of Qi and one country, can the Han army be defeated?"

Tian Heng shook his head: "If you can't fight, why don't you fight?"

"Besides, Lixia fell because I fell for the trick of the Han Dynasty. If the two armies really confront each other, the outcome is still unknown!"

"In my opinion, Linzi is no longer defendable. I might as well divide up into four groups and gather the scattered Qi troops, as well as the Qi people who don't want to see their homes occupied by the Han people, to fight against the Han army's invasion together!"

After Tian Heng finished speaking, Tian Guang applauded.

When the Chu army attacked last time, they relied on the common hatred of the Qi people to defeat the tyrannical Xiang Yu, and finally recovered Qi.

This time, they repeat their tricks and will definitely defeat the Han army!

The Qi State will last forever, and the Tian Clan will last forever!
After being silent for a while, Tian Guang felt that this might be a solution.

However, he was still unwilling to give up the idea of ​​using the power of the Chu army to expel the Han army, so he said: "Since the army is divided into four groups, then simply go to Gaomi alone, Tian Heng to Boyang, Tian Guang to Chengyang, and Tian Guang to Chengyang." Go to Jiaodong."

"Combine the power of all people and overcome the difficulties together!"

After he finished speaking, Tian Heng and the others responded with clasped fists: "I will obey your majesty's order! Drive out the Han army, and restore me to force you!"

…………

In the north of Linzi City, the disgraced Li Shiqi hid in the forest, looking out at the fighting outside.

After Qi Wang Tianguang heard that he disappeared, he did not give up the idea of ​​catching him to vent his anger, but sent a small group of cavalry to look for him.

It was not his bodyguards who caught and fought each other outside the forest, but the private salt dealers and Qi State pursuers who escorted him back to the north.

Gradually, Li Shiqi changed from apprehensive to elated.

At this moment, private salt dealers are leading the way to kill the Qi army...
