Chapter 12: The Balance of Monarchs and Ministers
"Hahahaha, it turns out that there is really such a general, who dares to sneak attack my Lian Po's grain and grass, to say from the bottom of my heart, it is indeed worthy of commending your kid's courage to sneak attack my Lian Po's rear, report your name" General Lian Po said.
Then Wang Jian replied intently: "I am Wang Qian, the commander of the Qin State"
"Captain Wu, you kid can really talk nonsense with your eyes open, these people who attacked this general, do you dare to say that there are only five people? It's a collection of multiple five people, I don't know if you don't know how to count soldiers, or if I'm Lian Po who has been fighting for a long time and has bad eyes, is this a five? Lian Po pointed to the Qin army who attacked the granary, and then said.
At this time, Wang Jian smiled confidently: "How many people did the general say Wang Jian brought?" ”
"Judging from Lian Po's many years of experience, there are more than 1,000 people at most, and you kid should be a thousand-mile commander," General Lian Po was confident.
Then Wang Jian shook his head and told Lian Po: "Wang Jian never fights battles that cannot be won, so the general's so-called commander of a thousand is not valid."
"Joke, you are now being surrounded and suppressed by my Lian Po, how can it be established or not, this is not a debate competition, but an overwhelming rolling" Lian Po restrained his relaxed face, and then stared at Wang Qian.
But at this time, Wang Jian did not feel afraid, on the contrary, he had a gesture of control: "Doesn't the general know the truth that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch behind?" ”
"Hahaha, how can you see it?"
"Do you think Wang Jian has the posture of being surrounded?"
"What do you mean?" Lian was quite puzzled.
"How many battles does General Lian Po have fought in his life?" Wang Jian asked.
But Lian Po didn't seem to want to answer, and Li Mu said: "Wang Qian, I think you are deliberately delaying time."
"Procrastinating for time? General Li Mu, dare to ask, is it necessary for the person you said will die to delay time? You are a general, and General Lian Po, who is famous in the Central Plains, still cares about being eager to kill the enemy in Weng? Wang Jian asked rhetorically.
Li Mu sneered: "Also, why do you need to be impatient with the things in Weng, our General Lian Po has a reputation in the Central Plains"
Then Lian Po said: "Low-key, okay, Wang Qian, Lian Po will let you talk about it, General Ben wants to see if you can spit out soldiers in your mouth."
Then Wang Jian said: "General Lian Po has a reputation in the Central Plains, and he has seen people who are besieged and will die in his life, is there such a state as me?" ”
Lian Po frowned, and then said inwardly: "It's not like this, could it be that I, Lian Po, really fell for the strategy of the praying mantis to catch the cicada and the yellow finch?" ”
Just when Lian Po was thinking, he only heard a report from a scout: "The general's eastern camp has been violently attacked"
Another scout came: "The general's western camp is on fire, and the fire is fierce"
Lian Po raised his head and looked at Wang Jian blankly, and the two soldiers who followed just knelt on the ground, only to see Lian Po raise his hand to stop: "You don't need to say that General Ben knows"
At this time, Lian Po felt that something had happened in the south camp and the north camp, and if the scout said it, Lian Po felt extremely faceless, so he had to stop the soldier to report, and then Lian Po decided to think about it again.
In fact, Lian Po didn't know that although there was an accident in the south camp and the north camp, it was not a matter of being sneak attacked, but two spies were caught, so as to understand the truth of what happened in the southeast, northwest and northwest camps.
"General, the little one has something important to report," the detective said earnestly.
But Wang Jian asked rhetorically: "Do you still think that your General Lian Po's face is not big enough?" It's okay, let's listen to it" Wang Qian's words aroused Lian Po's strong dissatisfaction: "How can my soldiers obey your command, this general said don't mention it again, go down first!" ”
"Yes"
Then the nameless arrow feathers shot at Lian Po's army, and then Lian Po looked at Wang Jian and others timidly, and then hurriedly retreated, and Wang Jian was a victor's posture: "Annihilate Lian Po, raise my Qin Wei"
"Retreat!" Lian Po gave an order, and the army hurriedly fled.
Then Wang Jian asked everyone to stop: "Fortunately, the Qin people have a lot of fine work in the Zhao army, and before the combat strength of the soldiers, they bought off many commanders of the Zhao State, so that they can save the day at this time."
Following Wang Qian's deputy general, he said, "The archer just now? ”
"I laid an ambush before, just in case" Wang Qian's strategy is definitely not like this, along the way Lian Po evacuated the direction, there are many ambushes, although there are not many soldiers, but in the urgency, it has caused immeasurable fear to Lian Po.
Of course, Lian Po is not a vegetarian, so many attacks, according to the current general situation, are simply impossible.
There must be deception in it: "The soldier is treacherous" Lian Po pondered repeatedly, and then there was a great sense of shame.
"Oops, it's a trick! Go back."
Lian Po's army returned to the granary, but Wang Jian and others had already evacuated, and at this time, Wang Jian and his soldiers successfully slipped away from the place where Lian Po had just turned his head, and there was no danger in a counter-encirclement and suppression.
Then Lian Po looked at the spot, and an indescribable sense of anger surged out: "Wang Qian! Lian Po must have peeled you alive."
At this time, Wang Jian had successfully returned to Shangjun, and Qin Zhao once again entered a confrontational situation.
Wang Jian returned, although it was not a big victory, but it can also be said to be free to advance and retreat, so as to show his ability to be a minister.
"The experience of the commander of the thousand commanders has been heard of by the county guard, and there are only more than 1,000 troops at the moment.
Subsequently, Wang Jian said calmly: "Wang Jian is ashamed, he didn't expect that his strategy was calculated by Lian Po's old fox, and it was Wang Qian's negligence that almost annihilated the army."
"This doesn't matter what the commander is, after all, Lian Po has been on the battlefield for a long time, and has a prominent reputation in the Central Plains, how can he not understand the strategies of ordinary people, so you don't need to blame yourself too much, but in terms of age, after your era, there will be no one to beat" The county guarded Yan Shan and said, at this time Wang Jian told Yan Shan: "It can't be said that way, in fact, the real one who can be regarded as invincible in the world is none other than Sima Auxiliary Bai Qi"
"That is, Lord Bai Qi has never lost a battle here, but you are also very good, even if you go deep into the place of crisis, you still retreat" The words of the county guard seemed to encourage Wang Qian, but in essence, he admired it because he could be under a battlefield veteran like Lian Po, and he who completely retreated from the army was also very human, of course, Wang Jian only felt that it was a pity that he did not take Lian Po.
But for Li Mu, it seems that he is not Wang Qian's opponent at all, and he is almost in a state of complete explosion, at this time, Lian Po decided to make another decisive general attack, and the armor has been all there.
Lian Po looked at the county town, and his heart couldn't help but be full of humiliation, and at this time, the military situation was urgent.
"Report! Report! …… "The scout fell from the galloping horse and crawled to Lian Po, covered in blood, tattered armor, and accompanied by two arrows piercing behind him.
"What's wrong! Say it! ”
"Lin Yang...... To be lost...... "Hurry up and ride out of breath, and then Lian Po was furious: "Who attacked me Lin Yang at this time"
The guards stepped forward and retrieved the letter from the detective's arms.
"The general attacked Shangjun, victory is just around the corner, but I don't know that suddenly an elite of Qin, about 5,000 people launched an attack on my Lin Yang City, from the raid to the siege, in a few days, our army suffered heavy losses, Wang Lian Po General quickly transferred troops to rescue, the leader of the enemy army is said to be Bai Qi" Lian Po packed up the letter, and then said to himself: "Bai Qi, the important minister of Qin, this person is said to have unpredictable abilities"
Li Muer said: "What is going on now?"
Lian Po sighed: "Don't worry about it, now there is Wang Jian to defend the attack on Shangjun, if it can't be successful in the short term, the ability of the rear to rise whitely, it can be said that it is easy to capture Lin Yang, and when the time comes, our army will be embarrassed, quickly gather the army, and immediately return to rescue Lin Yang City"
"Yes!"
When he was young, in the upper county city, that is, above the city gate, he saw the mighty army and retreated, and Wang Jian and the county guard Yan Shan were relieved.
"Now that Lian Po's army is retreating, I'm afraid there is not much baggage in his army"
After the county guarded the words, Wang Jian shook his head: "When Wang Jian led the troops into the enemy formation, he found that the enemy army was well organized, and it was worthy of the warriors after the Wuling King Hufu cavalry shooting, and yesterday they raided the enemy's military camp, which was like Mount Tai and generally did not look like a precursor to no food."
"Then according to the commander, why is this so?"
"It's hard to say, all in all, the enemy army will definitely not retreat because of the lack of food," Wang Jian said.
"Okay, Commander of the Thousand Commanders, tonight the county will hold a banquet to entertain the Thousand Commanders," the county said.
But at this time, Wang Jian seemed to be about to leave: "After all, Wang Jian is a person in the army for this support of Shangjun, my civil chief can vigorously support, and now Hangu Pass needs to use troops, Wang Jian and several brothers must go to return to their lives, and it is incumbent on them to protect their families and defend the country."
Hearing this, the county guarded Yan Shan and said: "In the future, you will be Yan Shan's brother, there is a letter here, and I hope that the commander will hand it over to your boss and let him convey it to my king, so that I can reward you vigorously."
"This is really not necessary" Wang Jian prevaricated, and the county guarded Yan Shan and said: "The eldest husband should protect the family and defend the country, and the brother's ability can be learned, and my Yan Shan is all 1510 records, absolutely nothing to say, then again, don't say much, at least give the brother a dozen or so soldiers to be dispatched, right?" "The county guard has repeatedly recommended it, Wang Jian doesn't seem to be very easy to shirk, of course, everything is up to the king, and it seems that Wang Jian doesn't need to be too humble.
At this time, Wang Jian didn't understand, why the county guard, asked Wang Jian to hand over to his own chief and then pass it to Wang, in fact, the letter clearly prompted: "Qi play my king, Shangjun County guards Yanshan, in the outnumbered guests, fortunately Wu Chang Wang Jian support, in my Shangjun, Wang Jian planned to break Li Muye's sneak attack, and then skillfully plotted Lian Po, in the Central Plains reputation Lian Po, but Wang Jian easily planned, this is a usable talent, if you can't be promoted to a thousand commanders, it seems that you feel powerless, strong people, how can you put it in the pool, Yan Shan advice advice, I also hope that my king can think twice, and the superior commander of Wu Chang, Wang Qian, the ten captains, Brunei, the centurion, Wu Xi, and the thousand-commander Yu Xiao can all testify on this matter."
When he was young, Wang Jian returned to Pinyang, Brunei saw his good brother Wang Jian and others come back safely and was very surprised, and then Wang Jian communicated with Brunei about the things in the north, of course, Shangjun County Shou Yanshan inquired, Wang Jian in the army, specially let his friends, from Liyang to transfer food to solve the crisis in the Brunei army, this time, from the commanders to the soldiers, everyone has a strong good impression of Wang Qian, at this time, Wang Jian handed over the letter to Brunei, Brunei looked at the letter and asked: "What did the county guard say about the content of the letter?" ”
"The county guard is very grateful to Wang Qian, so he hopes to promote Wang Jian to become the commander of the ten, but the good news of the stability of the county has to be told to the king, and Wang Jian specially handed over the letter to the chief" After Wang Jian spoke, Brunei smiled and said inwardly: "It seems that the county guard wants to keep this secret, and then give Yu Wang Jian a surprise, okay, the commander of the army will help you."
Brunei asked again: "Have you checked the contents of the letter?" ”
"This is an official document, Wang Jian is a soldier, and he can only give it to the commander."
"Okay, this matter will be handed over to Brunei, by the way, the food matter has been handled" Wang Jian was overjoyed and asked why.
"The good brother of Shangjun County Shou Yan Mountain, Liyang County Shou Yingqi, through the letter of Yan Shan County Shou, transported more than 10,000 baggage" Brunei put his hands together: "Brotherly love, with life to help Brunei, grateful"
Wang Jian said calmly: "Wen Chang, there is no need to be polite between you and me."
Brunei looked at Wang Qian, and the brotherly love became deeper and deeper.
On the other side, Bai Qi all kinds of tricks to attack Lin Yang City, Lin Yang County Guard saw that he was no longer able to parry, at this time, came the news that Lian Po's army counterattacked Lin Yang, Bai Qi then smiled: "Successfully led away Lian Po's army"
The adjutant said, "Then what should we do next?" Wu Anjun"
"Pass my general's order, and the elite soldiers will quickly return to Shangjun to rest," Bai Qi said.
"Yes!"
In fact, when Lian Po's army returned to Lin Yang City, the war in the north could be said to have been temporarily put on hold, and the alliance army that had been looking down on Daqin next to Hangu Pass no longer seemed to be ready to attack Hangu Pass.
The four sons gathered again, Pingyangjun sighed again and again, and then Xinlingjun comforted: "Okay, Pingyangjun, don't sigh anymore, Lian Po fails sooner or later, the tiger and wolf evil Qin, can't the family be wiped out?" ”
Pingyuanjun was furious: "What does Xinlingjun mean? ”
Suddenly, Chun Shenjun sighed: "Hey, the important thing is my Chu State, maybe the result will be completely different."
Pingyuanjun turned his head: "What does Chunshenjun mean?" It means that my Zhao State is not as good as your Chu State, does that mean? ”
"No, you misunderstood Pingyuanjun, in fact, I mean to say that Zhao Guo is not Lian Po's Zhao Guo, without you Pingyuanjun, you can't do anything big by relying on Lian Po alone" This sentence came out, and it seemed that Pingyuanjun still had some comfort.
When he was young, Meng Yanjun of Qi State did not speak, and several other sons felt very strange: "Why did Meng Yanjun not say a word?" Chun Shen Jun said.
Then Meng Weijun sighed and said, "Hey, I just want to drink a cup of hot tea."
"This is easy to do, in Anyi City, everything is missing, except for tea," Xinling Jun said.
At this time, Meng Weijun didn't understand: "Why do we want to concentrate in Anyi? Tian Wen is really puzzled"
"Meng Weijun should understand that Anyi City is close to Hangu Pass," Xinling Jun Wei Wuji said.
At this time, Chun Shenjun Huang Xie couldn't help but ask: "In that case, why don't we quickly join forces to attack?" ”
"Don't Chun Shenjun understand? For the beast to avoid the edge, at the moment Lian is quite in vain in the county of Qin, the current morale or strategy is inconvenient to attack Qin, if we join forces to attack Qin, when Qin's morale is sharp, I am afraid we will suffer a big loss, it is better to avoid the edge" Xinling Jun said.
Pingyuan Jun Zhao Shenghe said: "The Qin army is a tiger and wolf, it's really hard to mess with, but we can't let the Qin army run rampant, we should find an opportunity to frustrate the Qin people's spirit."
Xinling Jun said: "This is a very good word, but we still need to think about it in the long run."
"Hahahahahaha ”
"Good! Uncle said it well, it couldn't be better than it hahaha"
At this time, King Zhaoxiang's eyes stared at Wei Ran, and his eyes were full of words he wanted to say, which made Wei Ran feel a little cold: "Does my king have something to tell Wei Ran?"
"How is Pingyang-kun?" King Zhaoxiang asked.
Then Wei Ran was shocked for a moment: "Why did Ji'er suddenly think of asking your uncle?" ”
"It's the king!" Wei Ran was instantly embarrassed, and then said, "Yes!" It's a king."
"Ran Hou hasn't answered the widow yet"
In an instant, Wei Ran was hesitant, and King Zhaoxiang was furious: "Now that the widow has canonized his uncle as a marquis, is there anything that is not enough?" If the military power is not handed over, the fief is not gone, how? Do you want to rebel against the widow's younger brothers? ”
Wei Ran got up instantly, left the banquet and knelt on the ground: "The king Wei Ran doesn't dare, Wei Ran never dares to dream of seeking power and usurping the throne, the sky is clear, my king!" ”
"If you don't dare, that's good, hahaha, uncle, we are all a family Ji'er is joking with uncle, laughing, don't worry" Yingji's face changed suddenly, Wei Ran couldn't accept it for a while, but at this time, Yingji asked: "Marquis Ran, you hand over all the military power to Bai Qi, and then go to their respective places with your uncle, oh, remember, don't mess around."
Ran Hou hurriedly said: "Wei Ran doesn't dare"
"Of course he doesn't dare, and he thinks it's impossible, my king just rest assured"
Following the direction of the words, I saw an ugly and lame minister come and kneel down: "Fan Sui see my king"
"You're coming"
Wei Ran looked at Fan Sui and felt uncomfortable, and then Wei Ran held his breath and said, "How did you come out of prison as a shameless villain?"
"Prison? Marquis Ran, you misunderstood, what my king gave to Fan Sui is a pure land, how can it be a cell, there, Fan Sui has all kinds of books day and night, it is my king's love for Fan Sui, I am afraid that Fan Sui will be lonely, my king is very kind, Fan Sui is unforgettable! After Fan Sui's remarks, he saw that Wei Ran was uncomfortable.
Then King Zhaoxiang said: "By the way, Marquis Ran, after you leave Xianyang City in the future, Fan Sui will be the prime minister of my Great Qin State, and Bai Qi will be Wu Anjun."
Wei Ran frowned: "Wu Anjun? ”
"Yes, the widow has already handed over the token to Wu Anjun, and it seems that he hasn't told you about this, right?" King Zhaoxiang looked at Wei Ran.
Then Ran Hou said: "My king wants me and your uncle to leave quickly, right?" ”
"Uncle's words are wrong, Ji'er just wants to control the Chaogang alone, your life's contribution, Daqin is very grateful, go and enjoy your old age in peace" Yingji said and then got up: "Wei Ran will go and clean up, and leave to the fiefdom on the same day"
"Hmm"
The moment he saw Wei Ran's steps, Yingji then called out to Wei Ran: "Uncle, remember, quickly hand over all the military power."
"Yes" Wei Ran's mood was heavy, and the aggressive Yingji made Wei Ran feel rebellious from time to time, looking at it on the surface, Wei Ran accepted it calmly, in fact, Wei Ran at this moment has already begun to think about how to deploy troops, it's time to let this ignorant boy know who the elders are, and if he doesn't get rid of Fan Sui, Wei Ran will not be willing to die!
