Chapter 41: Zheng Anping's depression
When Zheng Anping led 50,000 Qin troops to the front line in Handan, he remembered that before leaving, Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju explained to him earnestly. Zheng Anping was full of ambition, thinking that after he went to the front line, he would be able to make contributions and be crowned his wife and son.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he came to the camp of the Qin army in Handan, he was poured a basin of "cold water" on his face.
Qin Wang Yingji's judgment was right, most of the people in the Qin army who can fight well now are from Wu Anjun's white account.
The commander of the Qin army on the Handan front, Wang Yi, the deputy general Meng Wei and many other generals of the Qin army, these people are all old men who have followed Wu Anjun Bai Qi for many years, and it can be said that almost everyone was promoted by Bai Qi.
At present, with Wu Anjun's refusal to visit King Qin twice, the contradiction between Wu Anjun Bai Qi and Qin Xiang Fan Ju has been completely made public in Qin.
After the Battle of Changping, Wu Anjun Bai Qi was extremely angry when he faced the edict of King Yingji of Qin and asked him to lead a large army to withdraw from Qin.
At that time, these generals of the Qin army, almost unsurprisingly, all supported Wu Anjun Baiqi.
There is no surprise about Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju, who slandered in front of Qin Wang Yingji and asked Wu Anjun Bai Qi to lead the army of Qin and return to Qin, everyone has a deep prejudice against Fan Ju.
These Qin army generals, including the commander Wang Di, the deputy general Meng Fu and others, have privately scolded Fan Ju as a "traitorous minister".
In this case, Zheng Anping, as the personal entourage of Qin Xiang Fan Ju, came to the Qin army camp. What good fruit can you eat, you think? You Zheng Anping want to make military merits, and many generals of the Qin army, including the main general Wang Yi, said that there is no door!
Zheng Anping led the army to escort a lot of grain, grass, military supplies, etc., and it was also very hard along the way. Also on the way, he repelled the sporadic sneak attacks of the Zhao army several times.
finally came to the Qin army camp in Handan, and only a few captains came to greet him. Zheng Anping found that none of the generals of the Qin army above General Pi came to greet him.
Even these Qin military captains also had a cold attitude towards Zheng Anping. Talking to Zheng Anping is also businesslike, and he is not willing to talk to Zheng Anping too much at all.
When Zheng Anping saw this, his heart was "wow cool, wow cool"! Prepared for the worst.
After completing the handover of soldiers, grain and grass, and military funds, Zheng Anping came to the big tent of the Chinese army and met with the main general Wang Di.
After entering the account, Zheng Anping found that the commander of the family, Wang Yi, was talking with other Qin generals about the military situation, and he didn't bother to say hello to him, as if he didn't exist.
Zheng Anping couldn't, so he had to stand in the big tent awkwardly and clenched his fist to the main general Wang Yi:
"The last general, Zheng Anping, pay homage to the general."
Wang Yi turned his head this time, looked at Zheng Anping under the tent and said, "Oh, it turns out that General Zheng has arrived, and he has worked hard all the way." ”
"The last general doesn't dare, this time the last general is ordered by the king and Xiangguo to come to Handan to the front, and I hope the general will make arrangements!"
"I don't know what battles General Zheng has participated in since joining the army? What credit has been made? Can you tell me about General Ben and the generals? ”
Wang Yi looked at Zheng Anping and asked in a mocking tone.
Zheng Anping's face turned red when he saw the main general Wang Di asking him this, but you can't help but answer this question.
"General Qiyu, the last general has been stationed in the local area since the army, and has not made the slightest military achievement. Therefore, our king and Xiangguo will come to Handan at the end of the year to capture Handan for our Qin State and do their best. ”
Wang Yi laughed and said to Zheng Anping: "General Zheng, don't use my king and Xiangguo to suppress the general. General Ben tells you that the general will not be granted the king's order! Leading and using troops is a matter of great importance. ”
"Since you have not led a large army to fight in a formal battle, it is impossible for this general to hand over these 50,000 troops to you. Since you have been stationed in the local area since you joined the army, now General Ben will give you a task. ”
"You lead an army of 20,000 to the south of Handan City and block a few galloping roads to prevent Zhao's reinforcements and grain and grass supplies! Remember, you must not let Zhao enter Handan City with a single soldier or a grain of grain. Otherwise, military law is merciless. ”
After that, Wang Yi waved his hand and said to Zheng Anping: "Okay, General Zheng, you go down and lead the troops!" ”
Zheng Anping was simply stunned, when he set off from Xianyang and came to Handan, he still commanded an army of 50,000.
Fortunately, on the first day of coming to the Qin army camp, he was deprived of military power by the main general Wang Yi and sent to the outside of Handan City to block several galloping roads in Handan City.
Although Zheng Anping came from a humble background, he also knew that in the army: military orders are like mountains.
didn't dare to resist at the moment, and hurriedly bowed his head and said to the main general Wang Ji: "The last general will obey the order." ”
When Zheng Anping came out of the big tent of the Chinese army, he heard a burst of laughter in the big tent.
Zheng Anping heard that in the tent, someone said to Wang Yi: "General Wang, you are exalting him too much!" The bullshit general, all relied on slapping the horse and slapping Fan Ju's ass to get to where he is today. ”
I heard a Qin army general say again: "Return the general!" The last general heard that this person was born in charge of the latrine, so it is better to call him "the latrine general". Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”
"Good, good, worthy of the name! It's a toilet general! ”
In the big tent of the Chinese army, there was a burst of laughter.
When Zheng Anping heard these words, his whole body trembled, and his teeth were about to be crushed, but there was nothing he could do.
I had to take 20,000 Qin troops to the south of Handan City to block the galloping road.
Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, took Mao Sui and other twenty guests, avoided the blockade of the Qin army, rode around the road, left Handan City from the path outside Handan City, and rushed to Chu State day and night.
The state capital of Chu, Yingcheng (Jingzhou, Hubei Province), was forced to move east to Chencheng (present-day Huaiyang, Henan) after being attacked by Bai Qi. For the sake of the face of the Chu State, the Chu State still called Chen Cheng Yingdu, and the people of the world called Chen Ying.
Zhao Sheng, Mao Sui and others, after arriving in Yingdu, it was already the beginning of December.
For Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, the purpose of coming to Chu this time. Chu Wang Miwan and Chu State Ling Yin, Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, have long known each other.
Chunshenjun Huang Xie suggested to the king of Chu: "Great King, now, Qin and Zhao are fighting each other in Handan. The Qin state was powerful, and the Zhao state was no longer able to fight against the Qin state alone after the Battle of Changping. ”
"King, if you let the Qin State break through Handan and destroy the Zhao State. The next target of the Qin State must be my Chu State. My Chu State must send troops to reinforce the Zhao State. Otherwise, when the Zhao State is destroyed, it will be the time when the army of the Qin State invades our Chu State. ”
"This time, the king of Pingyuan came to my Chu State, and he must implore my king to send troops to Zhao State to assist Zhao State in repelling the siege of Handan by the Qin army. But my king can't agree to Pingyuanjun's request immediately, but to see how many conditions Zhao Guo promised me Chu State? How much benefit can you give me the state of Chu? ”
After listening to the words of Chun Shenjun, the king of Chu laughed and said, "Good! Ling Yin's words are very much in line with the meaning of the widow. ”
