The situation that Shentu Jia was most worried about did not happen. Until the Lixia city, the scouts of the cavalry did not find the ambush of the coalition forces in the nearby dense forest. What was even more gratifying was that the timely arrival of the Zuoying force the coalition forces to stop the attack on Lixia city, and retreated ten miles to get out of the camp, and made a wait-and-see statement.

When Shentu Jia walked outside the east gate surrounded by his subordinates, he saw a mess on the city tower. Under the towering walls, there were slumpments everywhere, burned siege cars, broken swords and halberds, and the bodies of the two armies lying all over the ground. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and burnt smell, a tragic scene after the war.

Such a tragic scene, especially the thousands of corpses, is absolutely impossible to forge!

All the soldiers of Qi army, including Shen Tu Jia, who saw this scene, breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt even more glad. Fortunately, it was not too late and had not lost it yet.

When he saw Tian Hao appearing on the top of the city, Shen Tu Jia's last doubts were also dispelled.

"General Shentu? You're here!" Tian Hao on the top of the city was exhausted, and he was bleeding heavily, and there was a striking scar on his face. He bowed to Shentu Jia on the top of the city and said tragically, "If the general comes half a day later, Lixia City will probably be lost, and the last general will never see the general again."

After saying that, Tian Hao ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered and the city gate was opened.

The hanging suspension bridge slowly descended, and the closed city gate slowly opened. Shentu Jia did not doubt him at all. He was surrounded by more than a dozen generals and hundreds of personal soldiers and went up the bridge, and then walked through the outer door and entered the urn. On the side of the inner door, Tian Hao had already stepped down from the city tower and hurriedly greeted him with dozens of personal soldiers.

Shen Tu Jia turned over and dismounted and was about to come forward to see him. A loud bang suddenly came from behind him.

Shen Tu Jia looked back quickly. He saw that the ten thousand jin box at the outer gate of the urn city had already descended, but it isolated him and more than a dozen generals and hundreds of personal soldiers from the army outside. Faced with the sudden change, more than a dozen generals and hundreds of personal soldiers drew their swords, rushed forward again, protecting Shen Tu Jia in the middle.

Outside the city, you can vaguely hear the loud noises made by the Qi army soldiers.

Shen Tu Jia stared at Tian Ji coldly and asked, "General Tian, ​​what do you mean?"

Tian Hao was speechless, but he just looked up at the city. Shen Tu Jia and the generals behind him, the personal soldiers instinctively looked up, and even let out a breath of breath. He saw that the head of the Wengcheng City, which was just empty, was already full of black and archers waiting for the archers. That's right. He was the archers of the coalition.

Then a burst of hearty laughter rang out from the head of the Wengcheng city. Along with the laughter, a handsome white-robed young general appeared from the head of the city. He bowed to Shen Tu Jia who was trapped in the Wengcheng. He smiled and said, "Hahaha, General Shen Tu. I have heard of your name for a long time in Guanzhong. Junior Zhou Yafu, this is a polite person."

"Tian Da, you traitor, dare you treason for your country and seeking honor?" A general shouted angrily.

Tian Hao smiled bitterly, bowed to Shentu Jia and fell to the ground, saying, "General, the situation in Qi State is gone. As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes, those who are under their command plan, and millions of people in Qi are planning. It is a wise move to offer the city." After a pause, Tian Hao said again, "The last general wants to advise the general, "Good birds choose trees to live in, and good ministers choose masters to work."

Luoyang, Chu Palace.

Xiang Zhuang handed out a secret letter and said, "Learn from the sword, Ziliang, look at this."

Bi Shu and Bai Li Xian circulated the secret letter one after another, and couldn't help but change their faces slightly. The secret letter said about the war in Lixia. The information on the Ebony Cliff is indeed very powerful. Now they have extended their tentacles into the Korean army and the Zhao army's top leaders, so they can grasp the whole story of the entire battle in Lixia so quickly.

However, the information provided in the secret letter was a bit surprising.

Zhou Yafu, an 18-year-old young man and an unknown name, seemed to appear suddenly, but he captured the strong city of Lixia without any blood. What is particularly unbelievable is that Zhou Yafu even forced a submission to Shentu Jia to rescue Lixia's 30,000 Qi troops!

"Zhou Yafu? Haven't heard of this person?" Bi Shu said in contemplation.

Bailixian also pondered and said nothing. Obviously, he had never heard of Zhou Yafu.

As a time traveler, Xiang Zhuang was well-known for Zhou Yafu. However, in history, Zhou Yafu seemed to be born in a flash until more than 30 years later, destroying the Seven Kings Rebellion with thunderous force. At this time, Zhou Yafu was just an 18-year-old young man, so he was already so powerful?

Qu Bucai, who stood behind Xiang Zhuang, seized the opportunity to explain: "General, military advisor, Zhou Yafu is the second son of Zhou Bo, the former Han Taiwei, and the younger brother of Zhou Guanfu, the champion Hou Zhou Guanfu." After a pause, Qu Bucai said again, "According to reliable information, Zhou Yafu also studied under Bai Mo and learned military tactics and strategies for several years."

"No wonder." Bailixian looked at Bishu and suddenly realized.

But in my heart, Bi Shu and Bai Mo are both members of Guigu Sect. If we are in commanding the three armies and winning the battle, Bai Mo is not as good as Bi Shu. However, in terms of political strategy and strategy, Bi Shu is obviously not as good as Bai Mo. Zhou Yafu is Bai Mo's personal disciple, and the prince is also the inheritor of Professor Bi Shu. This time, he competed together, but I don't know which one would be better?

Xiang Zhuang took out another letter from the desk and handed it to Bi Shu and said, "There is another thing that I have thought about for almost half a month, but it is still difficult to make a decision. So I want to hear the opinions of you two."

After reading Bi Shu, he handed the letter to Bai Lixian and fell into deep thought.

Bailixian took the letter and saw that it turned out to be a letter written by the prince to the king. In the letter, the prince mentioned that the Tian family, as a royal family that had been in Qi for hundreds of years, had a large and deep roots, and had a great influence. After the Chu army captured Lu County without bloodshed, many local noble families suggested that the former King of Qi Tian Heng be conferred back to Qi.

Looking at the entire letter, the prince's attitude was very clear, that is, he clearly agreed to enfeoff Tian Heng back to Qi, and listed two main reasons and corresponding restrictions.

First of all, the weight of Tian Heng's enfeoffment is completely different from that of Wei King Wei, and the King Zhaoshe of Bei Diao King, because Tian Heng was the King of Qi before he was expelled from Qi by Guan Ying. If he was re-enfeoffed from Qi, the world would be submissive. Through this matter, Xiang Zhuang can further establish the status of Bo Wang (same as the King of Overlords) and fundamentally shake the cornerstone of Lianheng's alliance!

Secondly, the Tian family was a royal family that had been around for hundreds of years. It had many branches and large trees and deep roots. The sealing of the fields back to Qi was not only able to quickly restore the situation in Qi, but also allowed the noble families and ordinary people in Qi to return to their hearts quickly. In this way, it could quickly destroy the puppets supported by Han, Han and Zhao, and relieve the hidden dangers on both sides.

Finally, and most importantly, the prince also proposed measures to restrict Tian Heng in his letter.

The Tian family was a century-old royal family in Qi, and Tian Heng was the king of Qi. Of course, he had to take great risks by sealing him back to Qi, because once Tian Heng was out of control, it was very likely to be a big shot, which in turn posed a real threat to Chu. Therefore, while sealing Tian Heng back to Qi, some necessary measures must be taken.

The prince’s suggestion is to separate military, political and personnel. In short, under Tian Heng, the prime minister and general, Tian Heng is in charge of political affairs and the prime minister’s major policies; the prime minister is in charge of personnel affairs, and the appointment and removal of county officials must be counted; the general is in charge of military affairs, the army is organized, trained and mobilized, and only obeys the general’s orders.

There is a saying that Xiang Zheng did not explicitly say in the letter, but Xiang Zhuang, Bi Shu and Bai Li Xian all heard it, that is, the prime minister and general of the New Qi State must be appointed by Chu State.

The reason why Xiang Zhuang hesitated for almost half a month without making a decision was because he knew Tian Heng enough. He knew that Tian Heng was the same type of person as him, and would never be willing to be a puppet. Therefore, after he was conferred back to Qi, he would inevitably have a dispute with the prime minister and general appointed by Chu, but the result was unpredictable.

Bi Shu did not ponder for too long, and soon made a decision and said solemnly: "King, I agree with the prince's proposal."

Xiang Zhuang looked at Bailixian again, and Bailixian nodded slightly and said, "I also agree with the prince's proposal and enthroned Tian Heng as Qi. Although there are risks, it is still a good move."

"Okay, then this matter will be decided." Seeing that the chief general and the chief think tank under his command agreed to this proposal, Xiang Zhuang made a decision on the spot and said, "As for the general candidates of Qi, it is probably Pang Yu. Only the candidates of this prime minister, learn swordsmanship, do you have the right candidates?"

Bi Shu knew that it was not his turn to speak, so he looked at Bailixian. Bailixian did not shirk responsibility and immediately said, "The prime minister of Qi is a bit special, because he does not need to govern the national affairs, but must be connected with Tian Heng and many noble families in Qi. Therefore, urgent wisdom and eloquence are the primary quality. I think it is the senior official."

"Wu She?" Xiang Zhuang stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, "But it's him."

After confirming the big thing, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but relax and said to the two: "Learn from the sword, Ziliang, I have to thank you."

Xiang Zhuang said this insanely, but how could Bailixian not understand what he meant by Bishu? The reason why the king thanked them was because of their full teaching of the prince Xiang Zheng.

If it weren't for Bi Shu, the Qingxin Professor of the Crown Prince's Tutor such as Bailixian, it would be impossible for the Crown Prince to be as good as the Crown Prince today.

To be honest, Xiang Zhuang was still a little worried before appointing the prince Xiang Zheng to lead his troops to Qi State, but after leading the troops to fight, Xiang Zheng did not disappoint Xiang Zhuang's trust and expectations. Whether it was the soldiers who took Lu County without bloodshed, or the troops who divided the troops into two groups to confuse the Han, Han and Zhao troops, or the troops who attacked Linzi, or the enfeoffment of Tian Heng, were all remarkable.

Xiang Zhuang even looked forward to it, hoping that Xiang Zheng would continue to bring him more amazing performances.
