Chapter 819 The Battle of Nanji City
(It's deserted, I look forward to everyone leaving comments!!)
On the third day of the sixth month of the tenth year of the Marquis of Wei, Yuan County was in the south of the city.
It’s strange that Yuan County was originally a county in the northern part of Qi State, but its county town was called Nanji.
But today, this is not surprising at all, because the army of Wei State has surrounded this place, and maybe this place will become the southern territory of the Wei Palace at any time.
In fact, in today's Yuan County, except for the county towns, it is also under the control of Qi, all other counties have been cut off, and even a large number of cities have been captured by the Wei army.
When Wei Zhaohou was in power, the Wei army fought all the way to Yuan County and Hualin County of Qi. Now, it is easy to travel to the old place again.
Just today, the Wei army finally freed up its hands and came to the county town of Qi, cutting off its connection with the outside world.
The Wei army surrounded the surroundings outside, but the generals of Qi in the city were panicked.
Because they are not only generals of Qi, but also great clans of Qi, and their fiefs are mostly on this land occupied by the Wei army.
Within the county magistrates' yamen, the generals of Qi gathered together and had a lot of fun in it.
In such a critical situation, what they care most about is not the safety of Qi State, but the gains and losses of their fiefdoms.
You should know that they can maintain their status, on the surface, relying on the title before their names, but in essence they control the fiefdom and the people therein.
If they lose all this, they will have no status in Qi State, and the king can find reasons to deal with them at any time.
Therefore, it is necessary to drive away the Wei people and rescue the fiefdom leaders who were in the fire and fire. This is the consensus of the generals present.
However, the Qi State's troops in Nanji City were very limited, so there was a distinction between rescues, and everyone wanted to send troops to their own territory first.
Under such disagreement, it is not surprising that these people quarrel.
At first, the quarrel was the most intense, but later some people were gradually convinced to withdraw from the argument, so there were only two people who were still clamoring.
As expected, both of them were generals, and their soldiers were not suffering much in the battle with the Wei State, so they naturally had confidence in speaking.
The 40,000 Qi troops in Nanji City, 20,000 are their subordinates, so it is normal for others to be unable to interfere.
"The Wei army has now put pressure on Hualin. Yuan County has been poisoned by it. We cannot lose Hualin County anymore!" The general with a bearded face said angrily, his voice exerting the might of piercing the roof of the house.
But the other person will not be scared, it is related to the foundation of one's life, and no one will give up easily.
"You don't go to save Yuan County, but you want to send troops to Hualin. What's your intention?"
What is the intention? What else can you have? Of course, it is because the two big bosses' families have different positions that there are such big differences.
In fact, no matter which side they save first, some of the people watching the fun will benefit, so they are happy to watch the fun.
But some people couldn't stand it and quietly left the conference hall and went to invite the person who could calm the venue.
Yuan County is the county where the main fiefs of the aristocratic tribes are located. Among these county towns, there are people with respect among the aristocratic tribes.
There are many respected people, but few of the two generals can give face, and even fewer of them can give face at the same time.
But in Nanji City, there is a special existence in nearly ninety years old, which forces all the juniors to sell his face.
This man was the old lady of the Jiang family among the ten major clans of Qi. Because of his existence, when Zhuge Ling had not yet succeeded to the throne, the Jiang family was the nominal leader of the aristocratic clan.
This old man who has been through five generations of monarchs is the nominal leader of the aristocratic race, and no one will be unable to get along with him in terms of face.
When the old man heard the news that the county magistrate's quarrel was quarrel, he was immediately furious and immediately asked his servant to carry him to the county magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate's magistrate'.
When is it now? The Wei army has besieged the city, and these people are still arguing about those irrelevant things.
When Old Lady Jiang arrived at the county magistrate's office, there was still constant quarrel inside, which made his face look even more ugly.
Picking up his crutch, Old Lady Jiang slowly walked into the county magistrate's yamen with the help of his servants.
When everyone inside saw the old man appear, the quarrels gradually weakened and even finally stopped seeing each other.
After Mrs. Jiang walked into the lobby, everyone present bowed to him and carried forward the virtue of respecting the elderly to the fullest.
The two generals also smiled. After saluting the old lady, they wanted to come forward to support her to show respect.
But Mr. Jiang raised his crutch and swung it on the two of them, scaring the two generals quickly retreated.
"Old lady, what are you doing?" asked the bearded general who spoke before, but there was a hint of grievance in his tone.
"What are you doing? Do you know what you... are doing?" Mr. Jiang retorted at this time.
"The Wei army is already at the city. How to break the siege of Nanji... is the first priority, and what are you doing?"
With the help of the servants, Mr. Jiang sat on the main seat of the lobby, then pointed to the younger generations below and cursed: "For the sake of their own little interests, they will ignore the overall situation... What are your brains for?"
These words are extremely harsh, and it is necessary to express the anger of Mrs. Jiang. These people are really angry with him.
"Old lady, please listen to my explanation..."
Before the bearded man finished speaking, Old Lady Jiang pointed at him and cursed: "The people of Wei are going to attack Nanji, what else do you need to explain? How to defend Nanji... is what you should consider!"
In fact, when these people discussed where to send troops, their subconscious mind had already given up Nanjicheng.
Although this is a county town, it is not practically useful to the generals present, and they want to take back their fiefdoms.
"Report... The Wei army outside the city has frequently mobilized, and one of them is closer to the city wall!"
When this sound came, the generals could not continue to argue.
As Old Mr. Jiang said, all the people of Wei have come over, and now they can only try hard to defend themselves.
But the military officials present still did not expect that the Wei people would launch a direct attack after they arrived at the Nanjiche.
Now that Nanji's connection with the outside world has been cut off, they want to support other places, they must first break through Nanji's Wei army.
"What are you still doing here? Do you want me, an 80-year-old man... to go to war with spears?" Jiang Taigong said coldly.
So, the people dispersed like birds and beasts, and each returned to their own troops, preparing to deal with the possible attacks by the Wei army.
After these military officers left, the entire county magistrate hall suddenly became empty and even became a little deserted.
When Mrs. Jiang felt deserted at this time, not only because of the deserted external environment, but also because of his heart.
He has experienced countless storms and waves in his 90s, which has tempered his extremely strong heart and allowed him to always be calm when dealing with dangers.
But this time it was obviously different. Although the Wei army occupied both Hualinyuan County more than ten years ago, this time it was much more serious than that time.
Because this time the king of Wei State was Wei Wuji, a overlord who destroyed the vassal states within ten years and was influential to the nine states.
During the relatively long life of Jiang Taigong, he used to only recognize Wei Chenghou as the overlord among the princes. No matter how outstanding the other princes are, they are always worse than that.
But when Wei Wuji was born, Old Taigong Jiang realized that this young king of Wei had much more power than his grandfather.
This is a true overlord of the vassals and a person who has the ambition to devour the nine provinces.
Sadly, Qi State was the blockade of Wei Wuji's hegemony and could only be kicked away by someone.
Although Mr. Jiang highly praised Wei Wuji and knew that Wei State had far surpassed Qi State's strength, he was definitely not the kind of person who gave up easily, and he had to fight before he could find out the result.
"I hope that our Qi State will remain unchanged and we can survive this level!" Old Mrs. Jiang said in a deep tone.
