I saw dozens of majestic ships speeding close to the coast on the vast sea!

It was just a little black dot at first...but it got bigger and bigger!

When you get closer, it almost looks like hills on the sea - but these 'hills' are cutting through the waves and traveling extremely fast!

The soldiers and civilians of Qi State on the city wall stopped one after another and looked at the fleet on the sea. They were extremely shocked!

This, this, this... Logically speaking, it's not yet time for the Chu people to deliver supplies?

And these ships are really big! So fast! They are completely different from those heavy and slow cargo ships in the past!

Fortunately, on the leading ship, an earth-yellow flag with three wheat ears was fluttering in the wind... The Qi soldiers and civilians standing guard breathed a sigh of relief and looked happy - this flag was the Chu fleet and Jimo.

The secret code for the city’s appointment!

"Come on! Finally here!" Jimo City quickly became a sensation!

The Quyang Marquis of Chu State has delivered supplies to Jimo City five or six times, usually with a fleet of ships every three or four months... Whenever this happens, it is a festival for the Jimo people!

The Jimo people were besieged, and the gold cakes brought by King Qi from Linzi were piled up like mountains...but the gold cakes could not be eaten as food or used as clothing.

Only when the Chu fleet came, could they bring a large amount of food, grass, meat, cloth... and even jars of fine wine to the Jimo people.

The bundle of arrows made the Qi soldiers on every city top smile with joy.

As we all know, the people of Qi are very rich. But in these two years of precarious life, money left in the cellar seems to be of no use. It is far less safe than buying bags of grain back.

Therefore, although the items brought by the Chu people's fleet were more expensive, they always aroused competition from the Qi people!

Almost every time, these Chu ships came fully loaded...and then dumped all kinds of goods, loaded them with mountains of copper and iron coins, and left.

If the people of Qi once still hated Chu people and Xiong Wuliang... now these emotions have long been dissipated in the wind. Now they see Xiong Wuliang's fleet and feel more affectionate than seeing their own father.

"Okay! The Chu people's ship has arrived again!" The Qi people in Jimo City rushed to tell each other.

"I heard that dozens of big ships came this time!"

"In addition to food... I need to buy some cloth this time. My wife at home can't even wear pants!"

"Damn, I only come here every few months... This time I have to buy some wine and meat! When Chu Chuan came last time, my mother-in-law didn't want to buy it because it was too expensive, but it made the whole family regret it..."

"Yes, yes... what's the use of keeping all that money? When the Yan people break the city, we might all be dead. We might as well eat and drink and enjoy it now... What's the use of saving money? Give it to the Yan people.

Save?"

The soldiers and civilians in the city flocked to the port, waiting excitedly and expectantly for the Chu ship to dock.

Although the hearts and minds of the people of Qi are inevitably filled with defeatist thoughts, their enthusiasm for consumption is quite strong!

The young women and girls in the city looked forward to the sea with anticipation in their eyes, waving their hands at Chu's ships... To them, these Chu sailors who came riding the waves were like riding on colorful auspicious clouds.

The hero who came to save the whole city from hunger and distress!

…

"Report—report to the general, the Chu fleet is coming!" The excited messenger hurried to Tian Dan and said with a trembling voice.

Tian Dan's location is not in the comfortable city, but in the arrow tower on the city wall - ever since the Qi State defended Jimo Gucheng and the King of Qi entrusted Tian Dan with important responsibilities, Tian Dan has always insisted on living with the soldiers to encourage morale.

.

In the past two years, except for rare circumstances, Tian Dan basically never went down the city wall.

It is precisely because of this that the soldiers and civilians in the city still united closely under the leadership of Tian Dan despite the desperate situation... With the help of the Chu people, they have been able to survive until now with the Yan army.

Tian Dan raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his face. He stood up suddenly, went straight to the arrow hole of the arrow tower, and looked out...

Um?

These Chu ships...are obviously not merchant ships loaded with cargo!

Sharp large crossbows, rows of catapults... This is a warship! A real warship!

If the khaki flag with three wheat ears embroidered on it hadn't been clearly visible... Tian Dan would have almost ordered an arrow to be fired to stop it!

"Quick! Invite your Majesty to come to the city!" Tian Dan thought with lightning flashes in his mind, and subconsciously realized that something was wrong with Chu Chuan this time. He ordered the guards around him to invite Qi Wang Tiandi to make a decision.

Different from Tian Dan, who was strict with himself... Qi Wang Tiandi's painting style is obviously "drunken life and dreaming of death".

When the guards were ordered to come to invite King Qi, the guy was lying softly in the wine jar, hugging two young women who looked like ordinary women at best, having a great time.

"Chu Chuan is here? It doesn't matter...just leave everything to General Tian Dan to decide." Tian Di said to the guard.

Chu Chuan... Chu Chuan.

In the past two years, King Qi Tiandi had excitedly looked forward to it again and again, only to be disappointed again and again.

Marquis Quyang made it clear at the beginning that he would help Qi to overthrow Yan when the time is right.

Foster father, you lied to me!

I thought that after Qu Yanghou defeated Qin, he would definitely come to help quickly... But half a year has passed, and there is still no news... Tiandi has been deeply disappointed!

Maybe...the adoptive father had forgotten about him a long time ago.

Perhaps, the original promise was just a pale comfort...it's a shame that I actually believed it.

Do you know that I have so many expectations and so many regrets!?

The guard said anxiously: "Your Majesty... the Chu ships this time are obviously different!"

"Not only is it extremely huge, but... it seems to be a warship!"

Tian Di was startled, as if he had sobered up... He rubbed his eyes, stood up unsteadily with the support of the two women, stared at the guards deeply, and then walked towards the city head.

The guard said urgently: "Your Majesty, please pay attention to your appearance!"

Tian Di laughed loudly, ignoring the wine stains on his body, and accelerated his pace...

…

On the top of the city, Tian Di and Tian Dan stood together, quietly watching the Chu ship docking at the port.

The people gathered together cheered loudly, staring eagerly at the dozens of large boats that looked like mountains in front of them, with eyes wide open.

The cabin suddenly opened... What was inside was not the mountains of precious supplies they had expected... Rows of powerful warriors holding long swords and shields, daggers on their waists, and wearing bright iron armor were in an orderly manner.

The ground filed out!

The crowd inevitably let out a cry of disappointment.

King Qi Tiandi almost fainted from excitement!

Holding the grass... I recognize this outfit. This... this is Quyang's new army under the command of Quyanghou!

Blanch!

Blanch!

Tian Di hurriedly raised his eyes, his drunkenness gone. His eyes searched eagerly on the largest ship...until he saw the huge flag with the four words "Quyang Houliang" written on it...

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Wake up, Your Majesty!"

"The Royal Physician! Where is the Royal Physician?"

There was chaos on top of the city...

In full view of everyone, King Qi Tiandi fainted with excitement!
