Wei Wuhou

Chapter 802 Besieged in Qufu 1
March 25, the tenth year of Marquis Wei, was the third day after Wei Jun arrived in Qufu.

In these three days, the Wei army completed the siege of Qufu City, and at the same time they pulled out all the hidden stakes of the Qi army outside the city.

But for the generals of the Wei army, this style of play was unacceptable to them, and three days could be used to attack the city.

Outside Qufu City, inside the tent of Commander Zheng Chang, the generals sat together, but the atmosphere was not so harmonious.

"General, it's been three days since the city was besieged. Why is our army still not moving?" A general stood in the center of the big tent, very dissatisfied and said to Zheng Chang, who was in the main seat.

Being questioned like this by his subordinates, Zheng Chang couldn't get angry, he couldn't even reprimand his subordinates roughly, otherwise it would prove that he was afraid of war.

Therefore, after listening to the speeches of his subordinates, Zheng Chang said: "Your Majesty has said that attacking the city is the next step, and attacking the heart is the next... Now that the Qi army has been surrounded by my [-] troops in the city, it is impossible for them to escape. , what are you in a hurry for?"

But this general is not so easy to dismiss, just listen to him also said: "General, don't forget, your majesty asked me to send troops here in order to expel the people of Qi. Are we going to carry out your majesty's will like this and let us The Qi people nestled comfortably in the city?"

Zheng Chang used Wei Wuji to suppress his generals, but these people can also be suppressed by the king.

Being contradicted repeatedly by his subordinates, even though Zheng Chang's temper has been restrained a lot, he still feels furious at this moment.

Just when he was about to reprimand his subordinates, the man in black who had been standing behind him stepped forward, gestured to Zheng Chang with his eyes, and stopped his anger.

Immediately, the man in black said loudly: "Generals, just listen to me!"

After the man in black stood up, all the generals present looked at him, but their eyes were very unkind.

That's right, this is a military meeting that only generals are qualified to attend. Why does the man in black appear here, and what right does he have to speak.

Therefore, a general immediately stood up and said, "Who are you? I'm waiting to participate in military affairs. How can you speak?"

Not to mention, although the man in black had appeared in the army for two days, none of the generals knew his exact identity at this time.

Being questioned by the generals, the man in black didn't hesitate, he cupped his hands and said, "Generals, I'm under Fengying Division Captain Zhang Qun!"

Others didn't know who Zhang Qun was, but Zheng Chang knew it very well.

When the monarch was trapped in the state of Qi, Zhang Qun was the monarch's confidant guard, protecting the monarch in the most difficult time.

Zhang Qun took the position of Captain of the Fengying Division. Not only was he trusted by the monarch, but he also came with an imperial edict, so he was naturally not afraid of all the generals present.

After introducing himself, Zhang Qun continued: "Don't be impatient, generals. Sometimes the siege doesn't have to start from the outside. Maybe someone will open the city gate to welcome our army into the city?"

Originally, the generals were full of hostility towards Zhang Qun, but when he claimed to be the captain of Fengying Division, they honestly shut their mouths.

After all, the status of Captain Feng Yingsi is no lower than that of generals like them.

Moreover, according to what you Zhang Qun said, there is an internal response in Qufu City, which they did not expect at all.

Then a general asked: "Lieutenant Zhang, it has been three days since the siege of the city, why hasn't the internal response been launched?"

The generals are not so easy to dismiss, because no one can take military merits from them, not even Feng Yingsi.

They can maintain enough courtesy to Zhang Qun, but they still have to fight for what should be fought for.

As a general asking for a battle to attack a city, this cannot be said to be wrong, even if the lawsuit comes to the king, they are not afraid.

Zhang Qun was not annoyed, as the main figure in Fengying Division, he could understand the thoughts of the generals present.

It has been ten years since the monarch ruled Wei, and the generals who have been promoted in these ten years are more warlike than ever before. This is the intention of the monarch.
Therefore, Zhang Qun had no choice but to continue to explain: "General, don't worry, there may be major changes in Qufu City in just two days today and tomorrow!"

Zhang Qun said this, and Zheng Chang also continued: "Everyone, this is not only the plan of the general and Captain Zhang, but also the emperor's will, so you don't need to say too much!"

"Everyone should do their own thing well. You are the ones to fight the battle, and it's a big battle... we need to take a long-term view. Our enemy is not the [-] Qi army in Qufu City, but the entire Qi State!"

Zheng Chang's words caused the generals to think deeply, but at this time they did not press the question as hard as before.

There are two reasons to shut them up.

On the one hand, if this is the arrangement of the monarch, then they can no longer talk about it.Loyalty to the monarch is their foundation, and no one wants to destroy themselves.

On the other hand, according to Zheng Chang's words, this time they will not only expel the Qi army in the territory of Lu State, but also face the entire Qi State.

Everyone present still remembered the war against Qin six years ago, during which many people were promoted, so Zheng Chang's words made the generals see the light again.

For them, a large number of military exploits are beckoning to Shangqi State, so why rush for a while, and hate the general who declared military exploits for them!
Seeing that his subordinates stopped talking, Zheng Chang continued: "This time, you have a big plan, I hope you will follow the command, and don't miss the big deal!"

Anyone who talks too much will ruin the king's plan. Zheng Chang's hat is not small, and he really managed to keep the generals from objecting.

Then, the military meeting ended, and Zheng Chang also reached his goal, appeasing the generals who were full of fighting spirit.

Sitting in the handsome seat, Zheng Chang couldn't help sighing: "I'm old, now it's the young people's world!"

Zheng Chang is close to fifty, definitely considered old in this era, but he has a smile on his face right now.

Ten years ago, Zheng Chang never thought that he would be where he is today.

At that time, he was still sitting on the bench, commanding Xiguan just to guard against the Qin people.But today, Qin State has completely declined under Wei State's continuous suppression for ten years, posing no threat to Wei State.

And he, Zheng Chang, even led troops to attack the princes, and the two countries of Tang and Zheng, which had been passed down for more than a hundred years, were destroyed in his hands.

Now, he actually wants to lead troops to attack the Qi country. Now that Zheng Chang thinks about it, he feels a little stunned. Is this really him?

The title has been granted to the emperor, and the position has been taken to the general. It stands to reason that Zheng Chang has no regrets.If there is one thing, it is to be able to become the general of the Zhu Kingdom before he dies.

But now, at the time of attacking Qi State, Zheng Chang saw the hope of being promoted to Zhu State.

Hearing Zheng Chang's emotion, Zhang Qun said with a smile: "The general can't talk old, the emperor said before I came that he will rely more on you, general!"

Nice words always make people happy, and Zheng Chang is no exception, so he smiled and said: "It is my blessing to serve the king!"

After the two chatted for a while, Zheng Chang asked: "Lieutenant Zhang, you said that there are internal agents in Qufu City, will they really take action these two days?"

Zhang Qun said: "Of course, those who know the current affairs are outstanding, and people with insight can understand that following the state of Qi is to seek death!"

Zheng Chang said: "Qi's national power is much weaker than my Great Wei's. Lu's state must not only be seen by Ji Yi, but it's a pity that Ji Yi is dead!"

Zhang Qun laughed, and then said: "Ji Yi is dead, but his original supporters are still there. These people are enough for the Qi army to suffer a lot!"

"Moreover, I also sent people to the city to spread the news to all the major families, telling them that our army will kill after entering the city, and if they help our army enter the city, they can keep their wealth and status! " Zhang Qun said quite complacently.

Zheng Chang couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart. The people in the secret channel Fengying Division were indeed vicious, and they used all methods of coercion and temptation.

Zheng Chang knew in his heart that Zhang Qun was not joking when he said this, if the Qufu family were disturbed by what he said and did, they would definitely be killed.

But Zheng Chang still had a smile on his face at this time, and said to Zhang Qun: "So, they have no choice!"

Zhang Qun couldn't help laughing, if Qufu was really taken down like this, then Zhang Qun would have done a great job, and maybe he could be promoted to a higher level.

Therefore, Zhang Qun is also praying in his heart at this time, that the aristocratic families in Qufu City can give their strength.
