Chapter VIII It is necessary to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the people in Liaodi

At the end of June of the eighth year of King Wucheng, just after the end of the summer harvest, King Yingji of Qin sent the general Bai Qi to lead an army of 200,000 troops out of Hangu and rushed to the Chengcheng area of South Korea, and South Korea was caught off guard.

In July, the Qin army, under the leadership of the general Bai Qi, attacked Korea very smoothly, pulling out four cities near the city in succession, turning the Korean city into an isolated city.

King Han Henghui organized an army to actively resist on the one hand, and on the other hand, he asked for help from various countries, but found that none of the surrounding countries were willing to send troops to help Korea. Han Henghui, the king of Han Ran, panicked and sent people to Qin to sue for peace.

In August, the Qin army launched a fierce attack on the city, and Wang Xu, the defender of the Korean city, led the Korean army to resist for seven days without foreign aid, and the city was destroyed and martyred.

In order to weaken Korea, Bai Qi ordered to kill all the 50,000 Korean troops captured in the five cities he occupied, including the city, and slaughtered the city in the city for one day.

When the news came out, the world was in an uproar.

This "human slaughter" is crazy for nothing. In the past, when he attacked the Yingdu of Chu, he put aside the ancestral tomb of the Chu royal family; Now the slaughter of the city is simply a "beast" act.

Zhao, Chu and other countries sent envoys one after another to accuse Qin. and demanded that the Qin State immediately stop military operations, otherwise it would send troops to intervene. Even the nominal king of Zhou, who was in charge of the Zhou dynasty, sent an envoy to condemn him.

Seeing this situation, Qin Xiang Fan Sui knew that it could not be violated. If the attack on Korea continues, I am afraid that it will really cause other princes to send troops to intervene. It seems that the next step is to continue to strengthen diplomatic work with these neighboring countries of South Korea.

In addition, the Qin State sent troops this time, which also achieved part of the strategic purpose. It was suggested that Qin Wang Yingji should recall the general Bai Qi and make plans for the next year. After consideration, Qin Wang Yingji agreed with Fan Sui's opinion.

Subsequently, King Yingji of Qin pretended to scold the general Bai Qi in front of Zhou Tianzi and the envoys sent by various countries in the palace hall of Qin. and agreed to Korea's sue for peace in person, and ordered Bai Qi to lead his army to withdraw to Qin.

Of course, it was impossible for the cities occupied by the Qin army to be returned to Korea. The Korean envoy Yangchengjun Han Ji didn't dare to ask for it, and he didn't even dare to ask.

In September, Bai Qi, the general of the Qin State, who was known as the "human slaughter", led the Qin army to retreat to Hangu.

At this point, the military campaign of the Qin State to invade Han in the eighth year of King Wucheng came to an end. What was left behind was a devastated and powerless South Korea, and the door of Qin's eastward entry into the Central Plains had been slowly opened.

At this time, Liaodi, the autumn harvest has just passed. In the military cabinet of the prince's mansion, a military meeting is also being held.

The participants included senior military and political officials from all over Liao. There are Jun Xiangju Xin, Zou Yan, Dean of Xiangping College, Lu Zhonglian, Executive Dean, Rong Yan, Senior General, Ji Mao, President of the Supervision Yuan, Huang Yong, Deputy Director of the Intelligence Bureau, Bo Wang, Wang Shi, Governor of the Military Horse of the Two Counties of Liaodi, and Ding Wan and Hao Xuejun, the Guards of the Two Counties.

Huang Yong, deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau, stands in front of a wall with a topographical map of the surrounding Liaodi. With the baton in his hand, he pointed at the Donghu Tuobuda tribe that was in hand with Wangping.

He is introducing the relevant situation of the Donghu Tuobuda tribe with the participants: "Son, ladies and gentlemen, this Tuobuda tribe borders Wangping County, Liaodong County, and has six small tribes, with a population of more than 50,000 and a tribal army of nearly 5,000.

The leader of this tribe, Tuboda, is forty-two years old and has three sons. Its tribe domesticated no less than 20,000 war horses, no less than 150,000 cattle and sheep. It is the most powerful tribe among the Donghu tribes bordering our Liaodi......."

After listening to Huang Yong's report, Bo Wang, the middle doctor of the current military department who was more familiar with the situation in Donghu, and the governor of the military and horse capital of Liaodong County, stood up.

"Son, my lords, this tribe is very arrogant, except for this year, because my Liao land is heavily guarded, they did not come to my Liao land to make trouble. In other years, almost every year, they came to our Liao to plunder, slaughter our border people, and plunder our border people's property...... What a wicked man! ”

After Bo Wang's statement was finished.

The general Rong Yan stood up, clenched his fists and said to Ji Kang and the others: "Son, my lords, we can't let this Tubuda tribe do such nonsense in my Liaodi. A certain general asked for an order, willing to lead my Liaodi soldiers to annihilate this tribe. ”

Bo Wang and Wang Shi also stood up together: "A certain general asks for an order." ”

Ji Xin and the rest of the people also looked at each other and nodded their heads.

Lu Zhonglian looked at the map and said, "This is a vicious wolf lying next to me, and I must get rid of it." If not, the people of my Liaodi border county will have trouble sleeping in their bedrooms. ”

Then, like everyone else, he set his eyes on Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, who was only more than seven years old, and waited for his decision.

Ji Kang's face was serious, and he knew that it was time for him to make a decision.

Standing up, he opened his calves, walked to the map hanging in front of the wall, took a baton from the stand next to the map, and pointed at the Xiongnu on the border with Liaoxi County: "Since last year, the Xiongnu have mobilized the whole country to attack Zhao and suffered a heavy defeat. The 100,000-strong army, more than half of them were killed or wounded, and now they are unable to invade our Liaodi.

This is a very good thing for me. In this way, more than 15,000 soldiers in Liaoxi County can be used as mobile troops. ”

Then he focused the baton on the Tubuda tribe bordering Liaodong County: "Ladies and gentlemen, as Lord Lu Zhonglian said, this is a vicious wolf, and it is also a hungry wolf who is ready to pounce on us and bite us all the time.

If I don't get rid of it, my heart is uneasy, and the hearts of the people of my Liao land are uneasy! We must develop the economy and improve the people's livelihood. You have to have a good surrounding environment, but this Tubuda tribe is lying on the side, how can this work? ”

Then he turned his gaze to the general Rong Yan: "General, if my Liao army does not come out, it will be necessary to completely annihilate the entire Tupuda tribe." Can you be sure that it will deter Donghu and neighboring countries? ”

Rong Yi bowed and bowed: "Please rest assured, now that the whole army of my Liaodi has just finished changing clothes, the advantage of its armor, a certain general thinks that it has been at the top of the armies of various countries." This is especially true of our more than 6,000 cavalry troops.

A certain general has discussed this matter with the two generals Bo Wang and Wang Shi, and he will definitely be able to completely annihilate the Tubuda tribe in order to avenge the blood revenge of the people of Liaodi. ”

Ji Kang nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Introduce the military plan you have formulated to all the adults here!" ”

"No".

Rong Yan walked to the wall, took a baton, and said to everyone: "Childe, my lords, now I will give you a detailed introduction to the battle plan formulated by the General's Mansion. ”

Everyone looked at Rong Worm.

Rong Yan turned around, pointed to a part of the map, and said, "According to the detailed information provided by the Intelligence Bureau, the army and most of the people of the Tubuda tribe are concentrated in this place. The military strength is less than 5,000, and it may be more in wartime.

According to Childe's statement, in line with the principle of leniency for the enemy, we assumed that the tribe's fighting force would be as many as 8,000 people. Our attacking troops, this time we will concentrate the main forces of our entire Liaodi and two counties to attack them. “

Then on both sides of the Tupuda tribe, he emphasized twice: "Son, my lords, my Liao will use more than 6,000 new cavalry troops as the main force to attack the Tubuda tribe. Generals Bo Wang and Wang Shi each led 10,000 troops to surround from the east and west, and must march more than 200 miles in three days.

Three days later, our cavalry troops, together with the detour troops from the east and west, will launch a general attack on the Tuobda troops at the same time, and must completely annihilate the tribe.

I guarded the troops, because there was no war in Liaoxi County, and left 5,000 military horses to garrison the border; The 10,000 horses garrisoned in Liaodong County are in reserve, and the reserve militia is not prepared to be used in this military activity...... Ladies and gentlemen, the above is our plan for this attack. ”

Everyone nodded their heads.

Ji Kang slapped his little hand on the coffee table next to him and ordered: "In order to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the people of Liaodi, this war operation must be carried out and is inevitable.

Let's go according to the battle plan! On the 26th of September, our three-way attacking army must all arrive at the place of attack, and launch a general attack at the right time, and must completely annihilate the tribe. In this battle, we must create a buffer zone of more than 200 miles from the border with Donghu.

In addition, all the chiefs and nobles of the tribe were put to death, as were all the high-ranking officers who captured the army, and all the personnel of the tribe's army were treated as prisoners. The rest of the tribal people moved to the two counties of Liaodi and scattered the counties, and the animal husbandry factories in our counties are also in urgent need of these people! Okay, this battle is expensive in speed, let's go and prepare. ”

Everyone laughed, and they all said in unison: "No."
