After discussing the matter of sending troops, Bi Shu and Baili Xian said goodbye, but Pang Yu stayed because Tian Heng would come to the palace to say goodbye to Xiang Zhuang later. Pang Yu would leave Luoyang with Tian Heng at that time.

Tian Heng was still in a hurry when he entered the palace, but when he saw Pang Yu, he couldn't help but pause in his heart, thinking that Pang Yu was not guarding Bashu, why did he return to Luoyang? Moreover, the king summoned him and Pang Yu at the same time, and his intention was self-evident. If nothing unexpected happens, Pang Yu will definitely become the general of Qi...

Sure enough, after the lord and ministers met, Xiang Zhuang became clear.

"General Pang, Qi will rely more on you in the future." Tian Heng smiled and bowed to Pang Yu, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart. The two trusted generals under King Xiang Zhuang of Chu were the first to push Gao Chu, followed by Pang Yu. He wanted to lead the three armies and charge into the battle. Pang Yu was slightly worse than Gao Chu, but he had to be calm and meticulous, but Gao Chu was not as good as Pang Yu.

Tian Heng could foresee that after Pang Yu became the general of Qi, his military power would be fine.

Xiang Zhuang saw Tian Heng's subtle expression, but on the surface he still said with a high sound: "King of Qi, I have no other meaning to ask Zi'ang to go to Qi's Kingdom to help you. I just hope that you can quickly gain a foothold in Qi, when you have gained a foothold in Qi, and when Zi'ang should come back."

After a pause, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Ziang is my left arm and right arm, so I can only lend it to you temporarily."

"Thank you, the king." Tian Heng sneered in his heart, but he still had to pinch his nose to thank him. "General Pang Yu, Wen and Wu, is a talented general who is unparalleled. With his help, Wang Ding can quickly control Qi." After all this, Tian Heng naturally had to show his loyalty and continued. "Don't worry, King. After the king joined the country, everything will be followed by the king's leader."

Xiang Zhuang nodded without commenting and said, "In addition, Wu She will also serve as the Prime Minister of Qi."

Tian Heng's eyes flashed with anger, thinking that Xiang Zhuang really treated him and Wei Cuo in the same way. He asked Pang Yu to be the general of Qi and Wu She to be the prime minister of Qi. Then wouldn't he, the King of Qi, become a decoration? Instead of doing this, it would be better to stay in Luoyang as a marquis of Taiping, and why bother to suffer in Qi?

"What?" Xiang Zhuang said lightly, "Is there a better candidate for King Qi?"

"Uh, no." Tian Heng woke up with a dream, and quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, "The king heard from the king."

"Well, that's Wu She." Xiang Zhuang did not hide his tyranny at all. He had to let Tian Heng understand. Since he could support him to the throne, he naturally had the ability to kick him off the throne, and said immediately. "There is another thing. But it's not a good thing. Your country may have only one Xue County."

"Uh..." Tian Heng was stunned when he heard this. This was beyond his expectations.

Xiang Zhuang sighed and told Tian Heng the original battle in Qi, and said: "Gao Lang's army was blocked by Shentu Jia's surrendered army and could not move forward in a row. Yan and Beidiao Army were again surrendered by the coalition army in Weishui and had already retreated to Langya. With the prince's three thousand lonely troops and tens of thousands of Qi troops, it would be impossible to defend Linzi."

What else could Tian Heng have, so he could only bow and say, "Everything is decided by the king."

Xiang Zhuang comforted Tian Heng and said, "But you don't have to be too discouraged. This situation is only temporary. I have only waited for these most difficult years. When Wei land develops and the treasury is sufficient for money and food, I will definitely send troops to help you restore the five counties of Qi, so that you can be a real King of Qi."

"The king thanked the king." Tian Heng bowed to the ground.

After leaving the palace, Tian Heng went straight to his mansion.

On the open space outside the mansion, there were ten carriages ready to go. Next to the carriage were two teams of Chu Jia. They were sent by Pang Yu to protect Tian Heng, the King of Qi. In addition, there were only a dozen servants and maids and servants. Tian Pubai and Zi were also there. Seeing Tian Heng back, the two of them greeted with gloomy faces.

Tian Pubai rushed to the two teams of more than a hundred Chu Jia, who stood on both sides, and asked in a low voice: "Master, what's going on?"

Tian Heng sighed and whispered: "This is sent by the General to protect me. Don't be rude to them."

"General?" Tian Poubai was stunned when he heard this and said in confusion, "Which general? It seems that there is only a general in Chu State, so I didn't hear any general?"

"It's the general of our Qi State." Tian Heng said in a muffled voice, "It's Pang Yu."

"Pang Yu?" Tian Baobai shouted instinctively, and more than a hundred Chu Jias standing on both sides turned their heads and looked at them.

Tian Heng felt a chill and quickly winked at Tian Pubai. Tian Pubai lowered his voice again and said, "Master, what's going on?"

Tian Heng sighed and said, "In addition to Pang Yu, there are three thousand Chu Jias who will accompany us to Qi State. In addition, the king has appointed the Prime Minister to Qi State, and he is Wu She."

"Ah?!" Tian Pobai shouted again, and became stupid.

At this time, Tian Poubai could know the mind of King Chu even if he was heartless. He was obviously worried about Tian Heng, and Tian Heng, the King of Qi, was probably just the King of Qi in name. The real power of Qi would definitely be controlled by General Pang Yu and Wu She, the prime minister.

"Okay, you're ruined, don't think so much about it." Tian Heng patted Tian's ruined shoulder and said, "The general is waiting outside the east gate. Let's go and meet him quickly."

The next day, the letter from Feige from Ebony Cliff was passed on to Linzi.

Xiang Zheng immediately sent someone to find Zhao Xi and Lou Jing. After the two of them circulated secret letters one after another, Xiang Zheng asked, "General, Prime Minister, what do you think about this?"

Lou Jing remained silent and had no objection to the migration.

Lou Jing was not originally a native of Linzi, but from Lu County, Jibei County. The Lou family was not a prominent family in the local area. Even after Lou Jing became the prime minister, he acted in a low-key manner. In addition to inserting more than a dozen clans into the Qi army, he did not buy land in Lu County or Linzi, so he could move away with his bag.

"Crown Prince, do you have to move to County Xue?" Zhao Xi's face was full of bitterness.

Zhao Xi is a native of Linzi. Not only does he have a large number of shops and warehouses in Linzi City, but he also has hundreds of hectares of fertile land outside the city. Therefore, he was displeased with the migration because people could leave, but the shops and warehouses in Linzi City and hundreds of hectares of fertile land outside the city were definitely unable to be taken away, which was a huge loss.

Xiang Zheng spread his hands and said, "The current situation has also been seen that Linzi has no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside. How can we last for such a long time when we are trapped in the lonely city? If we don't evacuate early and wait until the food and fodder is exhausted, it will probably be too late."

Zhao Xi cried out: "Crown Prince, ordinary people are fine. They have no land and no land to live in the first place. As long as they have food and accommodation there, they will definitely be willing. However, the noble families in Linzi City may not be willing to leave, and the soldiers of the imperial guards may not be willing to leave their hometown."

Xiang Zhuang said calmly: "If you really don't want to move away, you won't force me."

Zhao Xi felt a stern when he heard this. Although Xiang Zheng's tone was quite calm, the implication was already very obvious. If they did not move, they would inevitably be annexed by Han, South Korea or Zhao. In this way, they and Chu would belong to two different camps, and it was inevitable that the wars would face each other.

By the way, Zhao Xiwei really doesn't want to be an enemy of Chu.

Lou Jing also advised: "General, if you want to break it, you will break it. Linzi is no longer in a position to defend it. Even if you guard the shops and warehouses in the city and the land outside the city, you will not have much profit. If you can move to Xue County, it is difficult at the beginning, but you can rely on the prosperous industry and commerce of Da Chu. In a few years, Qi will be able to prosper with it."

"What the Prime Minister said is very much." Zhao Xi nodded and said, "Prime Minister, I will gather all the noble families and families in Linzi City. I have to worry about you and them."

#############

Outside Linzi City, the coalition camp.

In the past few days, Zhou Yafu has also been under great pressure. After the news of Linzi being captured by the Chu army was sent back to Xianyang, the prime minister did not blame him and sent a letter to encourage him. However, Zhou Guanfu also sent a letter to scold him fiercely. He was so obscene that he was careless that the Chu army took advantage of the loophole.

Zhou Yafu has a hard time saying that Zhou Yafu is even more distressed. Who would have thought that Xiang Zheng was the same as his brother, and they both like to seek victory in danger. With just three thousand armored soldiers, they dared to go deep into the army alone, cross mountains and ridges to attack Linzi. What made Zhou Yafu even more distressed was that Linzi, which was stationed with Zhao Xi's tens of thousands of troops, was really taken down by Xiang Zheng. How could you do this matter?

However, what upset Zhou Yafu the most was not Zhou Guanfu's reprimand, but letters from King Han and King Zhao.

Han Ju and Bai Yan's capture were all caused by Zhou Yafu. Although Zhou Guanfu scolded Zhou Yafu in his letter, it was because of deep love and high reproach. Although the letters from Han Xin and Zhao Wang Zhang Ao were tactful, the reproach between the lines was obvious. In short, if Han Ju and Bai Yan could not be rescued, this matter would be difficult to explain.

What's even more worrying is that if King Zhao is annoyed, withdrawing Zhao's military and cutting off the supply of food and grass, it will be a big trouble.

But it is not easy to save Han Ju and Bai Yan. If you attack hard, you are not very likely to win. If you exchange it, Zhou Yafu really can't come up with enough chips unless you can capture Prince Chu Xiang Zheng.

When Zhou Yafu was upset, his personal soldiers suddenly came to the tent to report: "General, General Han and General Bai are asking for a meeting."

"General Han, General Bai?" Zhou Yafu didn't react at once and said angrily, "Which general Han is General Bai?"

The personal soldier said: "It's General Han Ju and General Bai Yan."

"Well, Han Ju, Bai Yan?!" Zhou Yafu was stunned and said in a sniff, "They are back?"

"What, General Yafu doesn't want me to come back?" A cold voice suddenly sounded outside the tent, and then Han Ju and Bai Yan were already in, looking unkind.
