Chapter 420: Qi's Weaknesses
Chapter 420 Qi Jun’s Weakness
The confrontation on the Huainan battlefield has lasted for more than half a month. The latest chapter of the Holy Church
For more than half a month, the Qi army and the Huainan army have been scolding every day and provoking every day, but the Chu army has just stopped moving and only hung a battle-free sign high on the gate.
After more than half a month of confrontation, the Qi army and the Huainan army were indeed restless, and the Chu army camp was not calm.
The army is an extremely special group. Even soldiers with the strictest training and the strongest will are still humans. As long as they are humans, they will definitely have their own thoughts and completely supreme thoughts. As the commander of the Chu army, Bi Shu could restrain the behavior of his soldiers through military orders, but he could not restrain their thoughts.
The Qi army and the Huainan army were shouting and fighting outside every day. The Chu army soldiers wanted to fight, but were also bound by Bi Shu's military orders in the camp. It was impossible not to have any fluctuations in their thoughts. After more than half a month of accumulation, the atmosphere in the camp began to become dull, and some rumors began to appear.
Lao Dao and Nobita are both veterans of the Hu Ben Army. On the battlefield, they will use their bodies to block the other party without hesitation. That is a life-long friendship. However, today, the two had a fierce quarrel over a very small thing, and finally the quarrel was red and neither side could come to Taiwan.
"Lao Dao, I know you are unhappy, but don't silly vent my anger on me if you are unhappy. I am your brother, not your punching bag!" Nobita knew why Lao Dao was unhappy, because Lao Dao only had to cut more than a dozen heads to become an official doctor. Although the official doctor and the doctor are only one level different, their status is completely different.
Because the official is an intermediate aristocrat, Lao Dao dreams of becoming one of the intermediate aristocrats. Lao Dao has given all hope for this battle in Huainan, but now, the Chu army has shrunk into the camp and cannot avoid the battle. Seeing that the great heads cannot be captured outside the camp, Lao Dao feels happy and has a ghost.
"I'm using you as a punching bag?" Lao Dao's eyes widened and furious, "Did you just say human words? Isn't your fucking title a higher level than me? What's so great? Don't show off the face of a deputy chief to scold people, tell you Nobita, from today on, we brothers have nothing to do!"
"If you don't do it, don't do it. I kindly advised you but made a mistake?"
"Good intentions, you're so fucking disgusting! Kind intentions? I'm gonna be!"
"Old Dao, don't be ungrateful. Believe it or not, I'm not polite to you. The Holy Church"
"Yoho? I'm anxious? I'm just an official doctor, and I'm still saying you're amazing? If you have the ability to cut me off, my head is here. If you have the ability, you can cut me off."
"Old Dao, don't force me!"
Nobita roared angrily, and his right hand had already put a knife on it.
Lao Dao is not a good person, and he quietly held the knife handle with his right hand.
The Chu army had extremely strict military disciplines, but the army was just the army, and fighting was absolutely indispensable. However, the Hu Ben Army was different after all. In normal times, veterans who were familiar with both sides had already come forward to persuade them to fight, but today no one stood up to persuade them to fight. The veterans around were just in groups of three or three, sitting there in groups of people watching coldly, and the atmosphere seemed a bit weird.
Just as Lao Dao and Nobita were about to lose their calmness and drew their swords, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came. When the two of them looked back quickly, they saw that General Jin Xiang, the Hu Ben, had already walked over with a horizontal knife and walked towards them. When they walked towards them, Jin Xiang slapped them each without saying anything, and they were extremely heavy and had a snap.
Old Dao, Nobita groaned and covered his slap in the face, but blood was overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
"I'm so capable, Om!" Jin Xiang's wolf-like gaze swept across the faces of the old sword, Nobita and the others and said viciously, "If I hadn't happened to pass by, would you still want to draw the sword and Om?" As he said that, Jin Xiang's anger surged up again, and he pulled out the whip and slapped them fiercely several times.
Old Dao, Nobita grinned in pain, but he didn't dare to hide. (")
"I give you a knife to cut the enemy, not to cut off your brothers!" Jin Xiang couldn't help but whip the old knife and Nobita's helmet again and shouted, "Go and squat in the pit, you won't come out for three days!" This squat was not a real squat, but letting the two of them be soaked in the cesspool, and from time to time they had to bear the brothers shit on their heads. This was a unique punishment measure for the Chu army!
Old Dao, Nobita stared at each other viciously and went with a dark face.
"And you." Jin Xiang pointed the horse whip in his hand at the veterans watching the fun, and said viciously, "Is it fun to watch others quarrel? Is it fun to see others taking a knife and taking a fire? One counts one, and you are not allowed to eat for three days! Damn, let you watch the fun, I starve you bastards to death."
It was not until Jin Xiang walked away that the Hu Ben soldiers who were foolishly in the same place all sighed.

When he was free, Bi Shu was leaning on the cushion and flipping through the military parade, but the curtain of the big tent was suddenly lifted open.
When he looked up, he saw General Jin Xiang, the Hu Ben, strode in with a dark face. Bi Shu smiled slightly, then put down the military book and sat up, and said, "General Jin, what's wrong with you?"
Jin Xiang bowed fiercely to Bi Shu and said with a dark face: "General, when will the battle-free card be hung?"
"Don't you fight card?" Bi Shu was stunned for a while before finally remembering that this seemed to be the case. He touched his forehead and smiled, "Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot about this matter." After saying this, Bi Shu said again, "Okay, since General Jin, you see that this brand is so disliked, then take it off, um."
Jin Xiang's eyes suddenly shone and he said excitedly: "Have the general agreed to go to the battle?"
"Go to fight?" Bi Shu said in surprise, "Getting a sign means getting a sign, what kind of battle will it take?"
"General, you..." Jin Xiang spread his hands and was full of annoyance. Are you not playing with me?
The expression on Bi Shu's face suddenly became serious and he said, "General Jin, I know that you are eager to fight, and the soldiers are already in a hurry. They all hope to fight with the Qi army and the Huainan army as soon as possible. Some people even said in private that I am afraid of Han Xin, so I dare not go to fight. But General Jin, do you think you are sure to win now?"
Jin Xiang was speechless. Now he was fighting against Qi and Huainan troops, and the Chu army was indeed not sure of winning.
"No, we have no certainty of winning." Bi Shu shook his head and said in a serious tone, "We don't even have half the chance of winning. If we fight the Qi army rashly now, we will likely be defeated. If the battlefield in Huainan is defeated, it will definitely affect the outcome of the Nanyang War. If Nanyang is defeated again, the Great Chu will be in danger!"
Jin Xiang obviously would not be convinced, and retorted: "But..."
"Do you want to say that even if we wait like this, our chances of victory will not increase?" Bi Shu shook his hand and said with a serious expression, "No, General Jin, you are wrong. If you wait, our chances of victory will definitely increase. This is because the Qi army has a fatal weakness, that is... shortage of food!"

Since the Kong family came out of Kong Zhongni, they have become a prominent family in Lu County.
The Kong family was not affected by the disputes between the princes by studying and teaching and educating people. Therefore, they did not suffer much influence in this chaotic era. Even when the Qi State was most frequent, Tian Dan, Tian Rong, Tian Heng and Han Xin were repeatedly changed to kings, they were not affected. When Xiangzhuang plundered Qi, Lu County was once the fiefdom of Xiang Yu, he did not dare to make rash things.
Therefore, Lu County is one of the few counties in the eight counties in Qi that have not been destroyed by war.
However, today, a distinguished guest was welcomed at the mansion of Gong Gong, the leader of the Kong family. This guest was either someone else, or Lou Jing, the prime minister of Qi.
Lou Jing came here for only one thing, collecting grain!
More than 100,000 Qi troops were out, and the grain consumed every day was astronomical, but Linzi Taicang was already empty. Taicang had no grain, so he could only collect grain. However, since being looted by Xiangzhuang, Qi land had withered and the people had no grain to collect. Helplessly, Lou Jing could only extend his hand to the noble families in Qi land.
Lou Jing knew very well that collecting grain from the noble family was to quench thirst, but he had no choice.
The conversation with Kong Gong, the leader of the Kong family, was very unhappy. Although Kong Gong was a descendant of Confucius, he was not kind nor righteous, and had no style of ancestors at all. He just refused to pay food by Lou Jing, but he was unwilling to pay food. In fact, Kong Gong's stinginess was famous, and he accumulated thousands of stones of grain at home, but outside the gate of the Kong family, there were often starving beggars to death!
Lou Jing had no choice but to mobilize troops to force the army to reign. He opened the Kong family's granary and accumulated more than 5,000 stones of grain!
In the end, most of the more than 5,000 stones of corn in the Kong family were forced to be conscripted, and Lou Jing left only two hundred stones for the Kong family. Seeing the truckload of corn being transported away from his granary, Kong Gong burst into tears with pain. After crying, he began to curse Lou Jing. After scolding Lou Jing, Lou Jing started to curse Han Xin again. Listening to Kong Gong's voice at the top of his lungs, Lou Jing's face became unprecedentedly solemn.
Lou Jing knew that from this moment on, Han Xin's ruling foundation in Qi had begun to shake.
This time it was really shaken. Almost all the aristocratic families in Qi, including the Kong family, were searched by Lou Jing. No matter whether these aristocratic families cooperated or not, they all resented the King of Qi from the bottom of their hearts. Once there was a stir, they would raise the banner of rebellion without hesitation.
However, these are not what Lou Jing is most worried about.
What Lou Jing was most worried about was that the Huainan War would continue to confront each other endlessly.
You should know that the food collected this time is already the last batch of food that Lou Jing can collect, and will also be the last batch of military food that Lou Jing can deliver to the Huainan battlefield. When this batch of military food is exhausted, Lou Jing will no longer be able to produce more food. At that time, even King Han Xin of Qi would have to choose to withdraw his troops...
