"Fifty thousand soldiers faced off against more than 100,000 coalition troops. Our army was completely at a disadvantage in terms of strength in this battle."

"What's more, relying solely on the strength of our Qi State to fight against the many princes headed by the Wei State is really overestimating our capabilities."

Tian Ji's analysis of the strength of the enemy and ourselves made Zou Ji better understand the situation on the battlefield, and also gave him a vague guess in his mind.

"The general wants to..."

Looking at the look of understanding on Zou Ji's face, Tian Ji knew that the other party had understood what he meant.

"Yes, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. If we, Qi State, want to remain invincible in this battle, we must obtain the support of other countries."

The moment he finished speaking, Tian Ji quickly turned back to the map, and then saw his arms moving on it.

"Korea and Zhao were originally allies of Wei, and Lu, Song, and Wei always followed Wei's lead."

"After excluding the above countries, the only ones that the princes in the world can give us the help of Qi at this moment are the four countries of Yan, Qin, Yue and Chu."

"Among the four countries, the Yan State is not keen on participating in the Central Plains. The Yue State is constantly fighting within itself, and the remaining states are Qin and Chu."

When Tian Ji said this, Zou Ji already understood what the other party wanted to do.

"Although the State of Qin has a close relationship with the State of Qi, and my princess of the State of Qi is even married to the current Duke of Qin, the distance between the two countries is still far and beyond our reach."

"Looking at the world today, the only country that has the ability and is close enough to our country of Qi is Chu."

"If I guess correctly, the general sent me back to Linzi this time to persuade you to send an envoy to ask for help from the Chu State."

"exactly."

After listening to Zou Ji fully express what he was thinking, Tian Ji's face immediately became a little excited.

"Our Qi State alone cannot defeat the coalition of princes, but if the Chu State can send troops, then our army's chances of winning this battle will be greatly increased."

While Tian Ji and Zou Ji were talking, a question came from the side, "What if Chu doesn't send troops?"

"Chu will definitely send troops."

After answering the question categorically, Zou Ji slowly came to the Qingshi Pass guard general Tian Fang who asked the question.

"Eight years ago, Chu State did gain some benefits from following Wei State, but it also saw clearly how powerful Wei State was."

"The current king of Chu, like his ancestors, is by no means a person willing to be inferior to others, but a monarch with great talents and great strategies."

"Now that Wei State has once again united its princes to form a large army to attack Qi State, Chu State, which has always been afraid of Wei State, will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it."

"As long as Chu doesn't want to see Wei continue to grow bigger, then he will definitely send troops to help Qi."

After some words explained the situation that Chu State was in at this time, Zou Ji made the Qi army generals in the hall breathe a sigh of relief.

One is a powerful country in the east, and the other is a hegemon in the south. If Qi and Chu join hands, what will Wei have to fear?

"color!"

The sound of cheers sounded in the hall, and under the gaze of everyone, Tian Ji slowly walked up to Zou Ji.

"The military advisor is originally a close minister of the emperor and has great talents. If he returns to Linzi this time, he will be able to persuade the emperor to send an envoy to Chu."

"The survival of our army, the victory or defeat of the war, everything depends on the military advisor."

"Please, military advisor."

Looking at the general Tian Ji who bowed solemnly to him, and then at the famous general of the Qi army in front of him, Zou Ji sighed slowly.

"For the sake of the generals and the country of Qi, Zou Ji will do his best."

With the heavy responsibility for the 50,000 Qi soldiers at Qingshi Pass, Zou Ji galloped towards Linzi, the capital of Qi, more than a hundred miles away.

Zou Ji had already made up his mind. After getting the consent of Qi Gong Tian Yinqi, he would personally go to Yingdu, the capital of Chu State, as an envoy.

Even if he loses his temper, he still has to convince the current King of Chu to send troops to help Qi.

The Qi State on this side was preparing for the next war, and the Wei State army on the other side soon arrived in Bo City.

"Report..."

There was another rush of footsteps, and a silk document was once again handed to the Qi army general Tian Ji by the messenger.

However, this time it was not the scouts sent by the Qi army who delivered the silk letter, but the soldiers of the Wei army who had arrived on the opposite side.

"General, what does the silk book say?"

After slowly putting down the silk book, Tian Ji could not help but see the solemn look on his face. Tian Fang, the bluestone gate guard on the side, immediately came to Tian Ji's side.

He handed the silk book in his hand to the other party, and then Tian Ji said coldly: "Wei Army General Gongsun Cuo made an appointment with me tomorrow before the customs."

After hearing the contents of the silk scroll clearly, Tian Pan on the side immediately asked: "General, does the Wei army have another plan?"

"I don't know." Tian Ji shook his head gently and looked faintly in the direction of Bo City, "I'll know everything tomorrow."

…

"Woo..."

Some desolate horn sounds sounded, adding a sense of solemnity and loneliness to the entire battlefield.

Standing on the top of the city of Qingshi Pass, looking at the neatly arranged square formations in the distance, Tian Ji's eyes were filled with a bit of gloom.

The team in front of him was completely different from the Lu army and Song army that Tian Ji had encountered before.

The red military flag flying high above the phalanx indicates their identity. They are wearing heavy armor, with long swords hanging from their waists, and holding sharp blades to show their strength.

The aura of this army that clearly came from a brutal battlefield filled Tian Ji's heart with fear.

The army in front of him must be elite, and its combat power far exceeds his own. This is the truest thought in Tian Ji's mind at this moment.

While Tian Ji was silently observing the distance, the Wei army's phalanx slowly made way for a road, and a chariot passed a Wei soldier among them and slowly came towards Qingshi Pass.

"Please also invite General Tian Ji to come here for a while."

Looking at the red figure standing on the battlefield at this moment, Tian Ji pressed his left hand on the long sword at his waist, turned around and prepared to walk down the city.

"General." Tian Pan and Tian Fang on the side stopped him, and then worried voices appeared in Tian Ji's ears, "General, I'm afraid the Wei army is cheating."

"The enemy troops come from afar and dare to march out on bicycles. How can I, the master, be afraid and unable to march out?"

The long sword in his left hand was held a little tighter, and Tian Ji's next steps became more determined.

"Kakaka..."

The door of Qingshi Pass slowly opened amidst a squeezing sound of wood. Tian Ji, the commander-in-chief of the Qi army, also stood on a chariot and came to the front of the two armies.

"Wei General Gongsun Cuo has met General Tian Ji."

"Qi General Tian Ji has met General Gongsun."

After standing on the chariot and greeting each other, Tian Ji and Gongsun Cuo looked at each other, sparks constantly generated in the collision between their eyes.
