Wei Wuhou

Chapter 812 Zhou Can's Thoughts

(Recently changed jobs and was very busy, so the update has slowed down! Sorry!)
Zhuge Ming was finally persuaded by Zhou Can, so the two began to discuss the specific matters of breaking out.

It is said to discuss strategies in detail, but under the general environment of the Wei army besieging the city, the Qi army's breakthrough can only be simple and rude.

First of all, Zhou Can didn't intend to play around in the direction of the breakout, so he directly chose to break out to the east, where the main force of the Qi army was.

Zhuge Ming had no objection to this, it was the same for him to break through in any direction, so Zhou Can was considered to have led the operation.

During the half-month siege, Zhuge Ming, who was born in an aristocratic family, was still a bit weaker than Zhou Can in terms of ability to withstand pressure, so there was a scene where Zhou Can led the action.

Early in the morning on April [-]th in the tenth year of Marquis Wei.

In the night of last night, the Qi army sent an order to the Lu people in the city, informing them of martial law throughout the next day, and no one was allowed to appear on the street, and anyone who violated it would be executed immediately.

Everyone here includes those nobles in the Forbidden City of Qufu, including the monarch Ji Mi.

The Qi army's murderous intent in Qufu City was overwhelming, and the people of Qufu naturally had no sense of disobedience, so the whole Qufu turned into a ghost town in the early morning of the next day, and no one could be seen.

This condition greatly facilitated the withdrawal of the Qi army. Under the arrangement of alternating cover, more than [-] Qi troops all withdrew from Qufu City within an hour.

At this time, the sky outside Qufu City was still bright, and there was a thick fog covering it, so it was a good time to evacuate.

But there is also a problem hidden in it. Although this condition is difficult to find, it also increases the difficulty of the Qi army's march.

In this case, it is easy for a large group of people to fall behind, and it is also possible to get lost.

Walking in the morning mist, even if there are selected Lu people leading the way, the hearts of Zhou Can and the two who are walking in the dark are still hanging.

They went out of the city lightly, except for the necessary armor and weapons, they only brought dry food for two days. If Wei Jun found and bit them, they would be in trouble.

Especially in an environment where there is no light, if a cavalry from the Wei army charged, maybe the entire Qi army would be crushed and scattered.

Everyone was asked to shut up, except Zhou Can and Zhuge Ming who were no longer among them. They needed constant communication to coordinate the entire army.

The two were riding on horses, and they were at the front of the army at this time. Zhou Can's face was serious at this time, as if he was facing an enemy.

On the contrary, Zhuge Ming who was next to him showed a slight smile at this time and said, "Don't be so nervous, since we have already left the city, there is no turning back... At worst, we fail to break through, and the two of us will die together!"

Hearing Zhuge Ming say this, Zhou Can became even more irritable at this time, and he wanted to slash him with a knife.

Perhaps seeing Zhou Can's angry face, Zhuge Ming then closed his mouth.After all, he also hopes to survive, and interfering with Zhou Can will only really cost his life.

Just groping like this, the Qi army quickly moved away from Qufu city.

Along the way, the Qi army was surprisingly lucky, and did not find any traces of the Wei army. They were ten miles away from Qufu after dawn.

They have all come here. Strictly speaking, the Qi army has jumped out of the encirclement of the Wei army.

But the tranquility along the way also made Zhou Can feel uneasy. How could the Wei army be so negligent that he didn't even notice a Wei army team.

"It's weird... how could you walk out so easily?" Zhuge Ming said in his mouth, at this time he was more excited than worried.

But Zhou Can didn't dare to be careless, and only listened to him: "Don't relax, Wei people have always been insidious and cunning, maybe they will set a trap in front of them!"

Although these words were not pleasant to hear, Zhuge Ming listened to them. He was not a fool, and he also knew that Wei Jun was very difficult to deal with.

Therefore, after a brief discussion between the two, they arranged for their teams to alternately cover and move forward, and put the entire army on high alert, although they were preparing to deal with the Wei army's assault.

It's no wonder that Zhou Can was overly worried. In this foggy environment, even if a large number of scouts were scattered, it would be difficult to cover everything.

Marching in the wilderness, there was still no trace of the Wei army along the way, but a few Lu people who had not escaped were found, and they were all tied up by the Qi army.

Originally, Zhou Can thought that he and the others would return to China in such a calm situation, but found a large number of corpses in a mountain field.

Among these corpses, there are soldiers of the Wei army, but more of them are soldiers of the Qi army.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Can and the two suddenly felt bad. Could it be that there was a fight between the two armies?

"I came all the way today, but I didn't find a single Wei army. Could it be that those Wei troops have all sent out to fight?" Zhuge Ming said.

Zhou Can remained silent, this is indeed a relatively convincing explanation.

"The Wei army has always been insidious and cunning, but this time they ignored our army. If they really started a war with our army, it means that they must be insufficient in strength, so they will send all the troops to go!" Zhou Can said after thinking.

At this moment, Zhuge Ming didn't have time to listen to Zhou Can's analysis of the situation, so he finally got here, and now it's time to hurry.

So Zhuge Ming said: "Let's not make random guesses here, since our army has pinned down the Wei army, now is a good time for us to escape from the enemy's encirclement, so we should retreat quickly!"

Just when Zhuge Ming was about to bypass the corpses ahead and let the army continue to march, Zhou Can stopped him.

Zhuge Ming couldn't help being stunned, Zhou Can had never been so physical to him before.

Then Zhuge Ming asked: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Can said: "Now the Wei army's strength is already insufficient. Our army is fighting fiercely with the Wei army. Now is a good time for the two of us to make a move!"

Zhuge Ming was shocked by Zhou Can's thoughts, and even made him speechless for a while.

Zhuge Ming's immediate thought was to object, because Zhou Can's idea was too whimsical.

Then I heard Zhuge Ming say: "Old Zhou, you and I have also experienced the friendship of life and death, so I will just say some things directly..."

"Do you think that our defeated army can still take the initiative to fight?"

Speaking of this, Zhuge Ming continued: "In the past half a month, our army and the Wei army have fought repeatedly, and the morale is low...why the war?"

What Zhuge Ming said made sense, but Zhou Can still felt unwilling.

Since the Wei army has mobilized all the troops to monitor Qufu, it means that the Wei army has reached the point of exhaustion. If they join the battle at this time, it may change the situation of the battle.

The reason why Zhou Can thinks this way is also because he is eager to make contributions, and he has no achievements in being trapped in Qufu. Zhou Can feels that he has no face to go back and avoid the inspection of the monarch.

Therefore, even though Zhuge Ming objected, Zhou Can still said: "General Zhuge, if you return to Qi State like this, and Ren Guojun leads the main force to fight against the Wei people, do you think we can still gain a foothold in Qi State?"

These words really hit Zhuge Ming's heart, he was born in a noble family, but there is also competition within the family, Linzi does not know how many people are waiting to see his jokes.

The Zhuge family now has Zhuge Ling, the queen of Qi, who is considered to be the top of the family in name, so it is easy to be envied by others.

So, after thinking for a while, Zhuge Ming said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll do it with you this time!"

Zhuge Ming's answer was actually beyond Zhou Can's expectation.

He already had a plan, and if Zhuge Ming disagreed, he would lead his subordinates to do it alone.

But Zhuge Ming agreed that it was naturally better, and Zhou Can said: "Okay...this time, let's do the big ticket!"

Now that he had agreed, Zhuge Ming also pointed to the dead body on the ground with pride and said, "Let's kill some Wei people too, to avenge these lying countrymen!"
