Chapter 725: Eastern Expedition, Southern Expedition

Posthouse.

The atmosphere in the Qi State Mission was very solemn.

"Sir, if the Qian Kingdom really wants our Qi Kingdom to use force, the people who were sent back to the country a few days ago may encounter something unexpected."

The Qi envoy also had a premonition in his heart that those who returned home to report the news would most likely be in trouble.

Even if he sends more people back at this time, they probably won't be able to leave Qian Country, no, Cangyang City.

The envoy of Qi now has only one choice, to lead the envoy back to Qi.

Qian Guo will not intercept and kill their entire mission.

Even if Qian State wanted to go into full-scale war with Qi State, they would not be intercepted or killed.

The two countries are at war without cutting off the envoys.

Qianguo is also a big country now, so it is natural to pay attention to the image of a big country.

Not to mention intercepting and killing them, Qianguo still had to protect them and escort them out of Qianguo safely.

After crossing the border, the most dangerous time is when the Qian people can't see them.

Countless brave men might emerge to attack and kill the mission without even having to do it themselves.

This is the only and most dangerous way.

But Qi Shi just chose this method.

Originally, he wanted to go to Shun State again after leaving Qian State to discuss the Qi-Shun Alliance.

Now I can only return home first.

If he could still return to Linzi alive, he might still have a chance to realize this plan.

If not...

"Wish me luck!"

The next day, East City Gate.

Two officials from the Ministry of Rites watched the Qi delegation leave Cangyang City.

"Do you really want to let them go?"

An official from the Ministry of Rites asked his colleagues next to him.

Although it has not spread among the people, they all know that the king is preparing to launch troops against Qi.

Shouldn't the people of Qi be prevented from bringing the news back at this time?

Isn't letting the Qi envoy to let the tiger go back to its mountain?

"No, no, once we leave Cangyang City, we are still in the territory of our Qian Kingdom. If we want to return to Qi Kingdom, tsk tsk... it's difficult!"

The official from the Ministry of Rites who was the first to speak after hearing this also smiled with understanding.

After all, it would not be good for the imperial court to directly block the Qi delegation, and it would not be easy for the king to save his face.

It is better to let them leave Cangyang City. The road is high and far away, and it is not easy for the people of Qi to go back.

I hope they have a safe journey!

After all, the officials of the Ministry of Rites have been with the diplomatic missions from various countries for so long, so it is appropriate to send them a farewell blessing.

But it’s not certain what officials from other ministries will give.

The people in the Ministry of Rites are soft-spoken and really can't say much for them.

Coming out of Cangyang City so smoothly gave the Qi delegation an illusion, "Sir, did the Qian people not want to intercept us?"

If the Qian people do not intend to intercept them from returning to China, will their previous speculation also have to be overturned?

The envoy of Qi State was also a little confused about Qian Guo letting them leave so easily.

According to his speculation, Qian Guo should not let them leave the city, but should also make things difficult for them when they leave the city.

Isn’t it what the people of Qian want to do most to try every means to delay their return?

Could it be that the goal of Qian State is not Qi State?

impossible!

The goal of Qian State must be Qi State!

Qi Shi recalled what he saw and heard in Cangyang City, and he reaffirmed his previous inferences.

"No matter what the Qian people want to do, we must return to Qi as quickly as possible!"

Envoy Qi's words made the entire delegation silent for a moment. In fact, they all knew in their hearts that they couldn't take chances, but they still couldn't help but think in a good direction.

But Zheng Zhi's words made them understand that they should not take chances, as the road ahead was still full of dangers.

After the Qi delegation passed by half a stick of incense, Black Wing's people appeared in place.

They followed the Qi delegation when they walked out of the post house, and they will continue to follow them all the way to Qi.

Maybe they can't reach Qi State at all.

"Don't follow them too closely. Just wait until they leave the area of ​​Cangyang City and then follow them."

Black Wing does not intend to take action within the confines of Cangyang City. If he follows too closely now, it will easily scare the enemy.

Cangyang County is not big, but the Qi State envoy will not go out any faster than when they came.

At first, for the sake of Qi's dignity, they would rather stay put than move forward.

Now if they want to run, Black Wing won't even give them a chance!

The Qi delegation left the confines of Cangyang City, and Black Wing and the others quickly caught up with them.

The Qi delegation found that there were many accidents on the road.

The horses were frightened, the wheels fell off, the members of the mission were upset, and their meals were cheated...

The mission had become much duller in just two days.

Meanwhile a wave of anger was brewing in the mission.

"It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!"

Although they had expected that their countrymen would prevent them from returning to the country, the successive "accidents" still made them angry.

"It's all about shady means. It's true that this is a newly established country and there is no sense of benevolence or righteousness at all."

The anger, ridicule and abuse of the Qi envoy could not change their experience.

Their return was greatly slowed down.

On the other side, Chen County's 100,000 troops are ready.

Among them, there are 80,000 local legions and 20,000 divine guards.

This is not the first time that Zhao Long has been the commander-in-chief of the army. Before, Gong Yi often served as the commander-in-chief of the Divine Guards, and Zhao Long was the commander-in-chief of the militia.

Now that the soldiers under his command are more elite, that can't mean he won't fight!

Zhao Long: "Take down Cangshui Pass?"

The deputy general stood next to Zhao Long, "We have taken it down. We already have backup forces inside the pass. Last night Liu Hao led his men to re-capture Cangshui Pass."

Zhao Long nodded with satisfaction and occupied Cangshui Pass. This time they had a guarantee for their expedition. They could attack when they advanced and defend when they retreated.

Qi's failure to strengthen the defense at Cangshui Pass was their biggest mistake.

Cangshui Pass was originally a pass of Shun State, but was later occupied by the Divine Guards. Even the three counties in the northwest of Qi State became the territory of the Divine Guards.

If Shun State had not suddenly paid attention to Yang Yuan's Divine Guards, and Qian and Shun had begun an all-out war, more counties and counties in Qi would have fallen into the hands of the Divine Guards.

In the end, Yang Yuan thought over and over again and decided to give up the interests of Qi State first and fight against Shun State with all his strength.

The results proved that his decision was quite correct. Shun State was defeated by him and lost nearly half of its territory. Qi State did not make any further progress and only occupied Cangshui Pass.

At that time, the Qi Dynasty's divine guards were able to defend Cangshui Pass.

Only a few thousand divine guards are needed to ensure that Qi returns without success.

Later, the fighting became more and more intense, and all the main forces of the Divine Guards were transferred to the south. However, the defense line to the east was too long, and the Cangshui Pass guard finally gave up on the pass.

It was also that Yang Yuan lacked naval troops at that time, otherwise Cangshui Pass would not be surrendered to the Qi army no matter what.

Now it is Liu Hao, the original guard of Cangshui Pass, who has retaken Cangshui Pass.

The original abandonment of Cangshui Pass made his soldiers very dissatisfied. If Liu Haonai hadn't been the general of the Divine Guards, he would have been impeached to death.

Abandoning a pass privately is a sin of losing your head no matter which country you are in.

Now it can be considered avenged.

Liu Hao was standing on the city wall of Cangshui Pass, looking east. Across the river was Cangde County of Qi State.

A familiar place.

Liu Hao almost regarded it as his lord. No, it should be said to be the king's territory now.

"It's far from enough. This is where we are. The war will not really begin until all three counties are recaptured!"

In his eyes, the three counties of Qi State, which had been occupied for a period of time, had become the territory of Qian State.

This sense of ownership is commendable!
