Chapter 920 Da Qi's Version of the Maginot Line! Since There Is No Way to Retreat, Let's Fight to the Death!

Tian He's roar dispelled the sorrow in the hall.

King Jian of Qi barely managed to calm down and said repeatedly: "Since the Great Qi joined the coalition, I have never slacked off."

"Since the Qin general Duanhe led an army of 130,000 soldiers to Pingyuanjin, I have tried my best to recruit soldiers to prepare for the Qin army's surprise attack."

"Now Gaotang has 250,000 soldiers!"

King Jian of Qi has been a grandson all his life, and he is counting on this battle to turn the tables!

Using the power in his hands to squeeze the dignitaries in various places, using the name of the king to command the dignitaries in various places, and crying and begging the dignitaries in various places, King Jian of Qi used all the methods he could use, and thus almost took all the manpower of Qi.

After sending 700,000 troops to join the coalition, King Jian of Qi actually seized another 250,000 troops and allocated them to Gaotang, making the total number of troops invested by Qi in this battle reach a terrifying 950,000!

Upon hearing this, Tian He couldn't help but take a breath: "Has the number of troops on the Gaotang front increased to 250,000?!"

King Jian of Qi's voice was inevitably a little more excited: "Yes!"

"I think that even if Qin General Duanhe is good at fighting, he only has 130,000 troops after all."

"Now my Great Qi has 250,000 troops to defend Gaotang, which is perfect!"

As we all know, in the original history, Wang Ben used the tactic of avoiding the real and attacking the fake to attack Qi from the north.

But in fact, Wang Ben gave up after destroying Yan. The main general who attacked Qi in the original history was Meng Tian!

In the original history, Meng Tian was appointed as the commander-in-chief because of his family background without having served as a middle-level general. He led 300,000 elite veterans to attack Gaotang from Lingqiu.

Afterwards, Meng Tian attacked fiercely for three months without any achievements, and even saw no hope of breaking through Gaotang at all, so he had to ask for help from the court!

Ying Zheng had to order Wang Ben, who had just returned from conquering Yan and was teaching his son at home, to support Meng Tian. This led to the battle to conquer Qi, in which Wang Ben led only 50,000 Yan border troops to force King Jian of Qi to surrender.

Meng Tian's predicament was directly related to his shallow experience, but it was also inseparable from Gaotang's defense strength.

As one of the five capitals of Qi, Gaotang was the fastest, smoothest, and flattest route to Linzi, and it was almost defenseless.

If Gaotang fell, Qi would perish!

Therefore, Gaotang was always the primary target of Zhao's attack on Qi. When Le Yi led the coalition forces of five countries to attack Qi, he also placed the main battlefield on the Gaotang front line. After opening the Gaotang defense line, he smoothly conquered Qi in one battle.

This directly led to Qi regarding Gaotang as its life and death line, and spent a lot of money to build up Gaotang's city defense.

It is no exaggeration to say that Gaotang is Qi's Maginot Line.

Let alone Yang Duanhe, even if Wang Jian and Wang Ben were brought over, they would have to take a detour!

Tian He nodded in agreement: "What the king said is very true!"

"With such a heavy army guarding Gaotang, Gaotang will not be lost."

Then Tian He frowned again: "However, as far as I know, Gaotang Du Dafu Lu Zha does not support my Great Qi to go to war with Qin, and he is quite willing to side with Qin."

"Now my Great Qi not only handed over the important place of Gaotang to Lu Du Dafu, but also handed over 250,000 troops to Lu Du Dafu."

"I am worried that Lu Du Dafu will repeat the old incident of Han County Governor Teng!"

Qi Wangjian said firmly: "General, you can rest assured."

"I have great faith in Lu Du Dafu!"

Looking at Qi Wangjian's firm look, Tian He's eyes showed understanding, and Hou Sheng sighed in his heart.

At this moment, how could Qi Wangjian give such trust to a surrenderist?

It is obvious that Lu Zha's previous remarks in favor of Qin were just a cover-up.

In fact, Lu Zha had already sided with King Jian of Qi!

Of the five du doctors, two remained neutral, and three sided with King Jian of Qi.

Hou Sheng felt that he did not lose unfairly!

Tian He laughed heartily: "Since the king trusts Lu Du, I will no longer have any doubts!"

Tian He bowed his hands loudly and said in a deep voice: "I advise you!"

"The king does not need to worry about the words of the King of Qin."

"The King of Qin and Qin Chang'an Jun have already publicly declared Qin's determination to unify the world."

"I think that even if my Great Qi always maintains a cautious attitude towards Qin, Qin will still attack my Great Qi after conquering Dai and Yan!"

"As long as the King of Qin does not collapse and Qin Chang'an Jun does not die, the battle between Qin and Qi is an inevitable battle, and it will eventually end with one side winning the battle. Ji is dead as a result. "

"Now the King of Qin has declared the hatred of Qin and Qi, and will not stop until the country is destroyed, which is just an early announcement of the hostility between Qin and Qi."

"Yes! Now Dai and Yan are both alive, and our Great Qi is attacking Qin together with the coalition forces of the two countries!"

"The current situation is far better than the situation where Qin destroyed Dai and Yan and then declared war on our Great Qi!"

"What the king should worry about now is how to resist the Qin army, or even annex the Qin territory, rather than worrying about not being able to serve Qin's ministers!"

Tian He's voice was decisive and powerful, which made King Jian of Qi feel more at ease.

While thinking, King Jian of Qi looked at Hou Sheng: "Does the Prime Minister have any good advice?"

Hou Sheng's mouth was bitter.

This Prime Minister does have good advice, but you, the king, don't accept it!

The situation has developed to this point, even if this Prime Minister has good advice, how should he display it?

Hou Sheng had no choice but to bow and utter some cruel words: "General said that Qin and Qi will eventually become enemies, and I think so too."

"I think that asking to be a minister of Qin is the most reliable and good strategy, so I have repeatedly advised this strategy."

"However, now my Great Qi has no possibility of being a minister of Qin, so this strategy is over!"

"Since this is the case, there is only one way for the Great Qi today."

Hou Sheng said decisively: "Since there is no way to retreat, then don't retreat even one step!"

"Use all the power of the people, recruit officials, open up the arsenal, and do everything you can!"

"Gather all our strength to fight Qin to the end!"

Tian He, leader of the main war faction, and Hou Sheng, leader of the main surrender faction, reached an unprecedented consensus at this moment!

All the courtiers in the palace raised their hands and shouted: "My lord, I second the proposal!"

King Jian of Qi laughed heartily: "Good! Very good!"

"Today, all my dear friends are working together, and nearly a million soldiers are fighting bravely to be the first. What if the King of Qin says that the enemy of Qin and Qi will perish and the country will be over?"

"We, Da Qi, will fight to the death with Qin!"

All the courtiers in the palace suddenly raised their hands and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The cheers of the ministers greatly alleviated the fear in Qi Wangjian's heart.

The Qin army is indeed good at fighting, and Qin Changanjun is indeed able to capture immortals alive.

But I, Da Qi, also have an army of millions!

Even if a person spits, he can drown him Ying Chenglong!

With a wave of his hand, King Jian of Qi shouted loudly: "Get the map of Kun!"

"Determine the military strategy!"

Several eunuchs immediately unfolded the map of Kun in the hall. Qi Wangjian stepped down from the high platform and said solemnly: "Our Qi army has a large force, but most of the soldiers lack experience. They need to be tempered in war to become elite soldiers."

"I don't expect to use this battle to invade Qin's territory. As long as this battle can make our Qi soldiers improve, it will be a great gain."

"I think the key to this battle is to be undefeated!"

Listening to the tune set by King Qi Jian, Tian He and Hou Sheng both nodded happily.

He can quickly regain his composure when being recognized as a deadly enemy by the Qin State.

With nearly a million troops, he can clearly understand the current situation of Daqi and take action step by step.

Such a monarch can be called a wise master!

Tian He immediately stepped forward, held a wooden stick and pointed at Kun Yu's map and said: "The general believes that if Qin attacks Da Qi, it is most likely to send troops from the west to Gaotang."

"Of course, the south side cannot be ignored."

"The general admonishes me to recall Judu doctor Kuang Yong and 100,000 veterans to join the Gaotang soldiers and horses to form an army."

"Later, Dr. Lu Du led 200,000 soldiers and horses to continue guarding the Gaotang front line."

"Doctor Kuangdu led 100,000 troops to guard the Great Wall (Qi Great Wall)."

"If the Qin army really raises troops from the south of our Da Qi, they will use the cities south of the Great Wall to delay the progress of the Qin army, buy time for the coalition forces to return to reinforcements, and finally block the enemy south of the Great Wall!"

"In addition to this, another 50,000 troops and horses will be deployed to support Linzi and control the capital of our country."

"If the Qin army had not taken the initiative to attack our Daqi army, we, the Daqi army, would not have taken the initiative to send troops, and would have placed all our victory or defeat on the main battlefield of the coalition forces!"

Although Tian He was the leader of the main war faction, he was also very aware of the weakness of the Qi army, and he also understood the spirit of Qi Wangjian.

Therefore, Tian He's overall strategy focuses on stability and defense. He only seeks to use this battle to train his troops without losing in this battle, not to win this battle.

Wang Jian of Qi nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "With the Great Wall and Gaotang as our support, Linzi will have no worries!"

Hou Sheng came out and cupped his hands and said: "In addition, I advise you to send candidates to spread rumors among the people, and then send envoys to Xianyang City to ask for an audience with the King of Qin."

"Although we, Da Qi, have torn up the alliance between Qin and Qi, the Yan State has torn up the alliance between Qin and Qi even more times!"

"There is no old hatred between Qin and Qi. However, the king of Dai was the prince of Zhao, and all the important ministers of Dai were ministers of Zhao. The hatred between Qin and Zhao should continue between the Qin Dynasty."

"When it comes to hatred, the hatred between Dai and Yan is far greater than that between Qin and Qi."

"I think that I can persuade Qin's important ministers to intensify the hatred between Qin and Dai and Yan, and persuade Qin to attack Dai and Yan first, so as to give Qi a breathing space!"

The whole court of Qi State was united, and many courtiers came out to give advice.

From military, diplomacy to logistics, from interception, guarding to alienation, everything is perfect and secure.

In just three hours, Qi State quickly agreed on a package plan for Qin State!

The sky was getting dark, but Qi Wangjian, who had just agreed on the overall strategy, did not show any signs of fatigue. Instead, he looked at Tian He sincerely and said: "Where the coalition forces are, the Prime Minister of the Left and I, the Prince of Qi, are sitting in charge, and they can be said to be like clouds of generals."

"However, we don't have many good generals in the rear of Qi Dynasty."

"I think that the general can stay in the country to prepare for the Qin army's surprise attack, and there is no need to go to the front line to add icing on the cake."

"What do you think, General?"

Tian He was struggling a little.

He prefers to seek victory on the front line, rather than hiding in the rear and plotting to remain undefeated.

But when he thought about the safety of Daqi Sheji, Tian He still solemnly handed over his hands: "Wei!"

Qi Wang Jian laughed happily: "Hahaha~"

"It is truly a blessing for me to have the help of generals, prime ministers and all my beloved ministers!"

"We are united as one in this battle, and we will definitely be able to..."

"Report!!!"

The high and shrill shouts cut through the dusk glow and interrupted Qi Wangjian's morale-boosting words.

Without approval, the palace door was closed.

But that frightened voice had penetrated into the hall along the crack in the door:

"Report!"

"The Qin army can be found twenty miles southwest!!!"
