Chapter 51: Aiding Zhao (I)
The military order has been issued, and the mountains and seas are overwhelming.
At the end of February, Hu Guiliang, commander of the Third Army of Liaodi, had already received the military order of the Marquis Mansion and led more than 33,000 people of the Third Army to Xiangping City.
In early March, Rong Yan, who was appointed by Ji Kang as the commander of the front, led the Hu Guiliang Division of the Third Army to advance westward.
At the same time, Zuo Zong, the commander of the Second Army in Pinggang City, the capital of Beiping County (now southwest of Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia), also received an order from the Junhou Mansion, ordering him to lead his second army to the south and make peace with the commander Rong Yan.
Pinggang, the county capital of Youbeiping County, has jurisdiction over 16 counties, including Junmi County (now southeast of Xinglong County, Chengde City, Hebei Province), Xuwu County (now east of Zunhua City, Hebei), Xiyang County (now southwest of Luan County, Hebei), Changcheng County (now northwest of Fengnan District, Tangshan City, Hebei), Guangcheng County (now southwest of Xian County, Cangzhou City, Hebei), and Tuyin County (now northeast of Fengrun District, Hebei).
Zuo Zong, the military and civilian governor of Beiping County, did not dare to slack off, and explained the defense matters in the lower county to Song Hai, the county guard. He immediately led the second army with more than 30,000 troops, and went south to Zhongyang County to meet the army led by the commander Rong Yan and the deputy general Liu Shengsuo
At this time, Chang Rongyan, the First Army of Yuyang County, the capital of Yuyang County (near present-day Miyun Shilibao in Beijing), also received a military order from the Junhou Mansion to rush the First Army south and reach Zhongyang County at the end of March.
Yuyang, the county capital of Yuyang County, has jurisdiction over 12 counties, including Yuyang, the county capital, including Qianping (now the area of Shijiao Village in the northeast of Miyun Reservoir in Beijing), Weixi (now in the north of Miyun Reservoir in Beijing), Anle (in the north of Gucheng Village in the southwest of Shunyi County, Beijing), Hunu (in Beixiaoying Beifu Village, Shunyi County), Pinggu (in Pinggu District, Beijing), Yongnu (in Huangkou Town, now Tianjin), and Quanzhou (in Chengshang Village, southwest of Tianjin).
Ji Kang's father, Yanwang Ji Yun, handed over the two counties of Youbeiping and Yuyang to his youngest son Ji Kang.
On the one hand, it is the experimental county of Yan State, as the place where Ji Kang advocates changing the law, and the "reformists" represented by the "conservatives" and Ji Kang in the country; On the other hand, it is also to allow Zhongyang County, which now belongs to Liaodi, to basically border with Liaodi.
Yan Wang Ji Yun also saw that his youngest son was very ambitious.
In that case, let you do it according to your own ideas! Anyway, as your father, I can help you! You must not be ungrateful in the future!
Rong Yan had a sad face, bowed down and said to the county guard king who came to see him off:
"Wang Junshou, the military situation is urgent. The last general will not dare to delay, and the defense of this Yuyang County will be handed over to you, and the last general will be able to lead the army south. If you can't reach Zhongyang County at the end of the month according to the military order, that old man will be ...... No, no, it's my father and coach Rong Yan who has to kill me! ”
The king of the county guard was busy knowing that Rong Yan, the governor of the army and horses, was very afraid of his father Rong Yan, and when he saw the expression on Rong Yan's face, he couldn't help but laugh.
"General, please rest assured, with this county guarding, Yuyang County will be safe, please don't worry about the defense of our county. I wish the general a victorious victory and success in leading our army. ”
Wang Xian smiled and bowed to Rong Yandao.
After Rong Yan heard the words of the county guard, he laughed twice and said to the king: "Thank you Wang Junshou for keeping the county, and the general will leave." ”
After saying that, he bowed to the king, turned over his horse, waved his hand, and commanded his guard: "Go." ”
Wei Yu, the king of Wei, didn't know that his younger brother, Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, had already stolen his own troop transfer tiger talisman.
When a minister reported to him: "Great King, Xinling Jun saw that the king refused to agree to send troops to aid Zhao, so he took the three thousand guests from the palace and went to Handan to fight with the Qin army. ”
Wei Yu listened to it, and said with a straight face: "The way to destroy yourself is also." This younger brother of the widow, for his own fame, forced the widow to send troops to Handan to rescue Zhao State. The widow also wants to follow the alliance between Wei and Zhao, but Qin is the army of tigers and wolves! ”
"This Xinlingjun doesn't need to think about it, in the past, my Han and Wei armies fought with Qin in Yique, and the elite division was far better than now, and the strength of the army far exceeded that of the Qin army."
"But even so, he was defeated by the Qin army led by Bai Qi in Yique, and beheaded 240,000 people of my Han and Wei armies! As a result, the vitality of our Wei State has been greatly damaged, and the national strength has not recovered until now. ”
"Xinling Jun doesn't listen to the words of the widow, and when the soldiers are added, there will be times when he regrets it! Don't worry about him, let him do it for himself this time! What tricks can the widow see he can toss? ”
What King Wei didn't expect was that this time his younger brother had already tossed tricks for him.
Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, who stole the tiger talisman in the Great Liang of Wei, was afraid that the king of Wei would find out that the talisman had been stolen, so he sent someone to stop him.
With Lux Zhu Hai, and even the three thousand guests under his command, he didn't dare to stay at all, and traveled day and night, towards Yecheng.
On March 29, early in the morning, Wei Wuji came to the camp of the Wei army in Yecheng.
The commander of the Wei army, Jin Cong, heard that Lingjun was here, and he felt a little strange in his heart.
But after thinking about it, he still led the generals of Wei to come out to welcome Xinlingjun to the big tent of the Chinese army.
As soon as he entered the big tent of the Chinese army, Wei Wuji did not hesitate, regardless of the surprised expressions of the main generals Jin Contempt and the generals of the Wei State, he walked directly to the commander's seat in the big tent and sat down.
After sitting down, Wei Wuji shouted loudly to the generals of the Wei State such as Jin Contempt under the tent: "Jin Contempt and the generals will listen to the order." ”
Jin Contempt and the generals of Wei thought that the prince Wei Wuji had brought the edict of the King of Wei, and they did not dare to slack off.
They knelt down on one knee together and said in unison: "The last general will listen to the order." ”
Seeing that the generals were like this, Wei Wuji nodded, and continued to say loudly: "The king has an order, ordering Jin Contempt to hand over the military power to this son, and then he can send troops to Handan, and there must be no mistake in first aiding the siege of Handan." ”
The main general who knelt on one knee in the tent, Jin Contempt, was very anxious after listening to Wei Wuji's order.
Because when he led his troops to the battle, King Wei didn't explain himself like this!
Jin Contempt raised his head and questioned Wei Wuji, "Dare to ask Gongzi, where is the talisman?" ”
Wei Wuji looked at Jin Contempt, sneered twice, took out the talisman from his arms, held it in his hand, and said to Jin Con and the generals of the Wei army:
"Generals, the talisman is here."
Jin Contempt looked at it and was stunned, Xinling Jun really has a soldier talisman!
He said to Wei Wuji again: "Childe, can you let the last general check it?" ”
Wei Wuji nodded, and said to Jin Contempt and the generals of the Wei State: "This is natural. ”
Then let Zhu Hai next to him take the talisman to Jin Contempt and let him check it to distinguish the authenticity.
Jin Contempt asked people to take the other half of the talisman, and put it together with the tiger talisman handed over by Wei Wuji.
It was found that the two pieces of tiger were matched together, and the seams were compact, which was indeed a real talisman and was not fake.
Wei Wuji looked at Jin Contempt and said to him, "General Jin Contempt, can this be a talisman for the king to transfer troops?" ”
Jin Wei looked at the talisman in his hand and knew that this tiger talisman was fine, but there was something wrong with this matter, so he said to Wei Wuji:
"Childe, this is indeed the king's talisman, and the last general should hand over his military power."
Speaking of this, Jin Contempt stood up and said to Xinling Jun and the Wei generals in the tent:
"Childe, but this matter is extremely strange. To tell the truth, before the end of the year came to Yecheng, the king had a secret order for the end general, and this time he sent troops, called saving Zhao, but it was actually to guard the border of our Wei State. ”
"Let the old man take my Wei army and garrison it in Yecheng, and I can't go to Handan. Why did you suddenly change your mind? Childe, please give it an explicit statement. ”
Wei Wuji looked at Jin Contempt, and then at the generals of Wei under the tent, and laughed:
"Generals, the king did mean this in the first place. However, the situation in Handan has changed. The soldiers and civilians of the Zhao State bravely resisted the Qin army. In the past three years, the Qin army has been attacking Handan for a long time and has been exhausted. ”
"As far as this son knows, Chu Guochun Shenjun and Yan Guoliao Chengjun have come to the aid of Zhao soldiers and horses, and they have marched towards Handan, which is just around the corner. If our Wei State is on the sidelines, we will not only lose our trust in the world, but also our neighbors. ”
"This is the purpose of my king, let this son come to Yecheng here and take over the military power."
Seeing that Xin Lingjun said this, Jin Jian knew that the problem was even bigger, so he sneered at Xin Lingjun:
"Childe, as far as the last general knows, some time ago, the king was just above the court and said to the ministers: I can't listen to you in the future. Even if the king wants to send troops to Handan, it is impossible to send his son to the front and take over the military power? ”
When Wei Wuji saw Jin Contempt like this, he knew that Jin Contempt had already doubted himself, and looked at Jin Contempt coldly with his eyes and said:
"General Jin, what the king means, is you and I the people who are subordinates, can you speculate? Now that you have seen the king's talisman and determined the authenticity, what do you mean by pushing back and holding back like this? ”
Jin laughed and said to Wei Wuji: "Childe, now that the Qin army is attacking Handan, it will not happen in a day. Our army should not rush to attack Handan, wait for the last general to send someone to Daliang, and ask the queen, it is not too late to send troops, what do you think? ”
Seeing that Jin was so stubborn, Wei Wuji said in his heart:
Sure enough, Mr. Hou Ying expected it. Jin is the confidant of King Wei, and he must be removed! ”
Wei Wuji looked at Zhu Hai, a wrestler beside him, Zhu Hai had already understood what Xin Lingjun meant, and nodded to Xin Lingjun.
Wei Wuji patted the handsome table in front of him and shouted:
"Where is Zhu Hai? Get rid of this guy for Ben Gongzi! ”
After Zhu Hai heard Wei Wuji's words, he replied loudly:
"Zhu Hai is here. Obey the orders of the child. ”
After that, he took out the copper hammer prepared in advance from his sleeve and hurried to the front of Jin Contempt.
Without waiting for Jin Contempt and the generals in the tent to react, he picked up the copper hammer and knocked it on Jin Contempt's head.
Jin Contempt's brain splashed, and he immediately fell into the Zhongjun tent.
Wei Wuji asked Zhu Hai to take the tiger talisman from the dead Jin Contempt.
Then he stood up, held up the talisman, and slowly said to the Wei generals in the tent:
"Jin contempt old man, greedy for life and afraid of death, disobey the king's order, and deserve to be executed! The tiger charm is here, and now who does not obey the orders of this son? ”
The generals of the Wei State looked at each other, looked at each other, and suddenly didn't know what to do!
At this time, it is clear that the benefits of high prestige are coming.
After all the generals were stunned, they all reacted immediately, looking at Xinlingjun with a solemn expression on his face.
The generals of the Wei State bowed down together and said to Wei Wuji in unison: "I am willing to obey the orders of the prince." ”
