Chapter Twenty-Six: The Second Battle of Handan (I)

On the sixth day of the first month, Xiangping City, Liaodi, the secretary pavilion of the Junhou Mansion.

Just after the Spring Festival, ordinary people in Liaoning are still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year, busy visiting relatives and friends. However, all the official yamen in the entire Liao region have begun to operate normally.

Huang Yong, director of the Intelligence Bureau, came to the door of the secretary's pavilion, stomped his feet, swept the snow on his body, and then lifted the thick woolen curtain and walked into the cabinet.

As soon as I entered, a wave of heat hit my face.

Huang Yong looked up and found that the Monarch and Marquis Ji Kang in the cabinet were sitting in the main seat, Jun Xiangju Xin, Dean Zou Yan, Dean Ji Mao of the Supervision Yuan, and General Rong Yan were all seated in His Excellency.

Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai are still on their way back to Xiangping City from Handan.

Huang Yong was about to salute when he heard Ji Kang say, "Director Huang, don't salute, sit down." ”

"No." Huang Yong listened to Ji Kang's words, and sat down in the lower position on the right.

At this time, Huang Yong listened to Jun's drama and was reporting some of the situation in Liaodi to Ji Kang.

"Junhou, there have been snow disasters in many places in my Liao this year, especially in the three northern counties at the end of last year, and some people who have just returned to my Liao have frozen to death because of the serious snow disaster."

When Ji Kang heard this, he said to the drama: "Drama, have the people in the affected areas frozen to death?" ”

Ji Xin hurriedly said to Ji Kang: "This is not true. The local government has strictly enforced the laws and regulations on disaster handling formulated by our Liaodi, and the disaster relief measures are still very effective. The local garrison and construction corps were also involved in the disaster relief. ”

Ji Kang nodded, and said to the drama: "Drama, the following is for the government officials in the affected areas, no matter how serious the disaster is, it is necessary to ensure the lives of the people in my Liaodi." As for the people in the disaster-stricken areas, it is necessary to provide them with proper resettlement as soon as possible and take good care of their livelihoods. ”

"In addition, for the affected areas, all local taxes will be exempted this year, and the taxes will be reduced by half next year. In addition, it is necessary to provide relief with materials and food, and organize the task of spring sowing and spring planting after the beginning of spring. ”

Ji Xin hurriedly said to Ji Kang: "No." ”

After watching the drama Xin's report, General Rong Yan also reported happily to Ji Kang: "Junhou, according to your instructions last year, the First Army stationed in Xingdong County had all been dressed up before October last year. ”

"Become my Liaodi, the first rapid strike legion. After a few months of running-in, the report came back, and the results were amazing, especially the mobility was greatly improved. Now the general Wang Shi is still leading this army for winter training. ”

Wang Shi and Bo Wang, according to their merits last year, were both appointed by Ji Kang as generals of Liaodi.

After listening to Rong Yan's words, Ji Kang and everyone in the cabinet had a smile on their faces and were very happy.

Ji Kang said to Rong Yan: "After the beginning of spring, the military department will transfer the first army to Liaoxi County, change the guard with the fourth army of Liaoxi County, and let the general Bo Wang go to train the fourth army!" ”

"The so-called capable people work hard, the general Wang Shi was transferred to Xing'an County as the governor of the army and horses, let him train the army there again! The other legions will speed up the replacement of equipment and complete the transformation of the rapid strike corps as soon as possible. ”

When they heard this, they all burst out laughing.

Rong Yan also bowed down and responded: "No." ”

Afterwards, Ji Kang looked at Huang Yong and said to Huang Yong with a smile: "Director Huang, tell me about you!" ”

Huang Yong stood up, bowed down to Ji Kang and said: "Qiyu Junhou, my intelligence personnel have sent back news from Xianyang, and now Qin Wang Yingji has appointed Wang Ji as the commander of the Qin army in Handan to replace Wang Ling. ”

"Also, before appointing Wang Ji as the chief general of the Qin army in Handan, King Yingji of Qin had been to the mansion of Wu'an Jun Baiqi, and it is unknown what the two talked about. But according to the news sent back by my intelligence officer, Qin Wang Yingji came out of Wu'an Jun's mansion with a very unsightly face. ”

Ji Kang and the people in the cabinet, after listening to Huang Yong's words, all lowered their heads and pondered.

After a while, Ji Kang raised his head and said to Huang Yong with a smile:

"Director Huang, let our intelligence officers in Xianyang spread a piece of news: let's just say that Wu Anjun is extremely dissatisfied with Qin Wang Yingji's forcing to death Qin Xuan's Empress Dowager Mi's eighth son and expelling Qin's "Three Dukes" and other "Gong Clan" people from Xianyang. ”

And to spread it to the outside world, it is said that Qin Wang Yingji used Fan Ju and other "cloth" officials, and further suppressed the "prince" people of Qin. ”

"Remember, after my intelligence officers spread this news, they went into a state of "hibernation" and were not allowed to use it without urgent information. ”

Like the Central Plains countries, the Qin State had a dispute between the "Gong Family" and the "cloth clothes", and in the Qin State, the contradictions between the two sides were very large, far exceeding those of other countries in the Central Plains.

And now Wu Anjun Bai Qi and Qin Xiang Fan Ju are typical representatives of the "Gong Family" and "Buyi" factions.

At the beginning of the seventh year of King Wucheng, in order to strengthen the monarchy, King Yingji of Qin adopted Fan Ju's suggestion and abolished the position of Empress Dowager Xuan of Qin.

Since then, Mi Bazi has been depressed in the palace and died of illness in September. In the same month, the princes of Wei Ran, Gaoling Jun Gongzi Shi, Jingyang Jun Gongzi Kui and other princes were ordered by Qin Wang Yingji to be repatriated from Xianyang to their respective fiefdoms.

At this time, the enmity between the "Gong Family" and the "Buyi" of the Qin State has become greater, and it has reached the point of irreconcilability.

And Wu Anjun Baiqi, who is a person of the "Gong Family", is also extremely dissatisfied with the practices of Qin Wang Yingji and Fan Ju.

This time, Bai Qi was reluctant to go to Handan as the head coach, and he did not have this consideration.

And what Ji Kang instructed Huang Yong to do was to light a fire on the unlit "pyre" of the Qin State, completely ignite the pile of firewood of the Qin State, and further intensify the contradictions between the two sides.

Huang Yong clenched his fists and bowed and said, "No." ”

And everyone in the pavilion, after listening to Ji Kang's words, took a breath of "cool air" and looked at Ji Kang who was sitting on the main seat in surprise.

I secretly applauded in my heart, this is an excellent "anti-intermittent plan"!

But I also hate it, this is to put Wu Anjun to death in vain!

Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Yi arrived in Handan with 100,000 reinforcements and a large number of soldiers, grain and grass, and officially became the commander of the Qin army on the front line of Handan, responsible for the war against Handan, the capital of Zhao State. Mobile:

After Wang Yu and Wang Ling completed the handover, they had a long talk with Wang Ling to discuss their views on the Battle of Handan.

Subsequently, Wang Ling left the front line of Handan with his personal guards and returned to Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

The next day, Wang Di, the new commander of the Qin army in Handan, convened the generals of the Qin army in the big tent of the Chinese army and held a military meeting to study how to attack Handan again.

As Wu Anjun's deputy general for many years, Wang Yi's military talent and experience in leading troops are beyond doubt.

But at this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army in the Qin camp, Wang Di, who was sitting on the main seat, saw the generals of the Qin State standing under the tent, they were all depressed, and they couldn't help but be secretly worried in their hearts.

smiled and said to the deputy general Meng Fu, the Qin general Wang Jian and many other generals: "Generals, this general is not here to blame the generals for coming this time. From the general's point of view, the crusade launched by the army of our Qin State against the Zhao State last year was quite good! ”

"Attacking the skin, occupying Jinyang, and seizing Wu'an, our army is invincible. As for Handan City, it is the capital of Zhao State, and Zhao State will inevitably defend it. In addition, Handan City, the city is high and solid, our army suffered a small setback, there is nothing remarkable! ”

"This time, our king asked the general to lead an army of 100,000 troops, and a large number of soldiers and grain and grass have come to reinforce our army, and we will definitely be able to take Handan and destroy its Zhao State in one go."

"Now, let's talk about how to lay down Handan, right? Everyone is a general, don't be like a mother-in-law, speak freely. Whatever you say, General Ben won't blame anyone. ”

Hearing the new commander say this, in the entire big tent, all the generals of the Qin army burst out laughing.

The deputy general Meng Fu hugged his fists and said to Wang Di: "General, this Handan City is indeed tall and strong, plus that Lian Po Lao'er, you also know, is good at defense, our army is really difficult to attack Handan!" ”

"A certain general thinks that it is freezing now, and he does not shy away from it, and some time ago, our army was attacked by Lian Po Lao'er, and the morale was quite low. This time, our army should first boost its morale and then attack the city. ”

After listening to Meng Fu's words, Wang Yi nodded and said to the other Qin army generals:

"Let's talk about it and share your opinions!"

The young general Wang Jian stood up and said to Wang Ji: "General, this time our army will attack the city again, just as the general said, take Handan in one go." At present, it seems that our army is elite, and the Zhao army is old and weak. ”

"The last general thinks that this time our Qin army attacks Handan, it should be divided into two armies, that is, two armies, day and night, and attack Handan City day and night, without giving the Zhao army defending the city any breather."

After listening to the words of the young general Wang Qian, Wang Jian looked at Wang Jian approvingly and said, "Okay, very good!" Let's talk about the other generals too! ”
