Dongfangze is not satisfied with his words. "The fashion of Qi's heyday is not as good as our country, let alone now."

Zhang Qiling said with a faint smile, "the nine kings only saw that the state of Qi had lost 200000 soldiers, but they ever thought why the emperor of Qi was willing to hand over 200000 soldiers' military power? Even a good man will not easily hand over his family to help others, let alone Emperor Qi has never been a kind person. "

This sentence made Dongfang Ze dumb. Yes, Emperor Qi was a miser, but he was very generous in Xiao Ruo Ao's case. First, he took him in Linzi, so he didn't hesitate to face up to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Now he lost 200000 troops. It's hard to say. Did emperor Qi change his mind?

In the puzzled eyes of man Dynasty, Dong Fang Su asked, "did Zhang Qing guess anything?"

Zhang Qiling leaned back and said, "as the saying goes, if there is no profit, you can't get up early. I guess Xiao Ruo Ao should exchange enough interests for the Qi emperor, such as The way he escaped from Yingtian. "

"Ship in the water?" Dongfangsu also thought of this.

"Not bad." Zhang Qiling nodded and said with regret: "in the past half a year, Gu Shi has been studying this object, but he has not made any progress due to his poor health."

At the beginning, Gu Yichen was robbed to the Western Chu by Xiao Ruo Ao. Along with his notes, books and notes, all the things related to mechanism skills were also taken to the Western Chu. It was by those things that Xiao Ruo Ao's mechanism master built the water boat.

After Gu Yichen came back, he wrote silently day and night, trying to copy out all the books and notes. Originally, he was not very strong. When he was in Western Chu, he had a serious illness. Although he was cured, the root of the illness was still hidden in his body. Now with all his efforts, the root of the illness was immediately hooked up, and it was more fierce than when he was in Western Chu, and he had been lingering in his bed for many days.

As he pondered, dongfangze said slowly: "the emperor of Qi exchanged 200000 troops, that is to say He has mastered the method of making water boats? "

"Very likely." Before Zhang Qiling's words came to an end, dongfangze said in a hurry, "what are you waiting for? Quickly gather troops and attack Linzi. Otherwise, when he builds a water boat, we will be passive."

Zhang Qiling shook his head and said, "how did the nine kings know that the emperor of Qi had not built a water boat? If it has been made, we will go If you don't like it, it's called "sheep entering tiger's mouth."

Dongfang Ze had no idea when he said it. He said, "it's not good either. It's not good either. What should we do?"

Zhang Qiling was silent. In fact, it was a gamble. If the bet is won, the whole world will be determined, and no force will be able to compete with the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If the bet is lost, the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which has always been invincible, will be severely damaged and lose its absolute advantage.

The main hall is silent. Occasionally, there are two coughs after depression. Through the open door, autumn light casts a shadow on the dark and shining gold bricks.

"Pass on my will, assemble a large army and go to the Qi State!" Dongfang Suo's deep voice accompanied by cough sounded in the quiet hall.

Zhang Qiling was surprised and said: "Your Majesty..."

Dongfang Su raised his hand and interrupted, "I understand Zhang Qing's worry. It's still unknown whether the state of Qi has a water boat, but if we wait any longer The unknown becomes certain. "

"There will be a war between us and Qi sooner or later. Instead of waiting without knowing the result, we'd better take advantage of our present morale and take the initiative to attack!"

Seeing that Dongfang Suo's mind was settled, Zhang Qiling stopped persuading him and said, "I understand. I will do my best to conquer Qi for your majesty."

Dongfang Zelian said quickly: "my younger brother asked to lead the troops to the battle, to promote the great power of Zhou!"

"I also ask to go to war!" All the generals asked for orders to go out.

Finally, dongfangze was the commander in chief, Zhang Qiling was the military adviser, and dozens of deputy generals, vanguards, and participating generals were selected. On the 10th of November, 100000 elite troops were led to the army of Qi.

On the day of the expedition, Dongfang Su personally saw off the sick body, which shows the importance of the war.

Although dongfangsu had made a quick decision, it was still a step too late. In this battle, the Qi emperor defeated the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty by relying on the surprise of the water boat and the artillery and firearm equipped on it. Tens of thousands of people were killed and injured, and the rest retreated into the valley to defend.

At the same time, the team responsible for transporting grain and grass was robbed on the way, and the army far away in Qi was in the crisis of food shortage. It was surrounded by Qi army and could not go out to look for food. The situation was in danger, and the whole army would be destroyed at any time.

The war report was rushed to Jinling by 800 Li, and Dongfang Su immediately summoned troops. The Northern Zhou Dynasty was powerful, and after so many years of recuperation, it soon summoned 80000 soldiers again, but there was a problem in selecting the chief General.

It turns out that when dongfangze went out to fight, in order to deal with the possible water boats, dongfangsu almost selected the best soldiers in the whole week. The rest were either too old or inexperienced to find a suitable general.

Yu Heng is a good candidate. He has courage and screen, and he once went out with the army. But after all, he is still young. It's too reluctant for him to face this situation alone. In case of further failure, even if the national strength is as strong as that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it is hard to bear.This has become a big problem in Dongfang Suo's mind. If he does not decide who will be the commander in chief, the army will not be able to go out for a day, and Dongfang Ze and others will have less hope of survival.

On the first day of winter snow, mu Qianxue went for a walk in Shanglin garden. As soon as he got there, he saw Yu Heng coming in a hurry. When he saw mu Qianxue, Yu Heng's eyes turned red and almost burst into tears.

"What's the matter?" Mu Qianxue asked in surprise, her gentle voice made Yu Heng more and more sad, "plop" knelt down in the cold and piercing snow, choked: "aunt, please go to persuade father and Emperor."

"What's this for? Get up." Mu Qianxue pulled him up in a hurry, patted the snow on his knee, and said: "what's the matter with your father?"

"Father King..." Yu Heng wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. "He wants to fight in person!"

Mu Qianxue was startled by this, "you What did you say? "

"I've just met my father and Emperor. He decided to go to the state of Qi in person and set out in a few days. I didn't listen to my advice. I had no choice but to come to my aunt. My father always loved my aunt. Only you can persuade him." Yu Heng, who has always had his own ideas, looks like a child at a loss and looks at mu Qianxue eagerly.

"Don't worry. Sit down and speak slowly." Mu Qianxue took him to the pavilion next to him and sat down. When he asked carefully, he said in a condensed voice: "so far, this matter has not been announced."
