Chapter 731: Wang Jian and his son, Mingzhe protect themselves
Chapter 731: Wang Jian and his son are wise to protect themselves
As Wang Jian and his son expected, a battle report soon came from the front front: the Qin army was defeated by the Chu army.
Since the Qin army did not concentrate its forces in one place, the result gave the Chu army an opportunity to take advantage of.
Seeing that the men and horses on both sides were about the same, Chu Guo came to a sneak attack and caught the Qin army off guard.
The Qin army is known as the "Division of Tigers and Wolves", which is powerful, but it can't withstand a sneak attack.
Furthermore! The general of the Chu army is also a military genius, and he is also very good. Taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain, they fought a sneak attack, and the Qin army had no power to fight back. By the time Qin Jun reacted, they had already run away.
After a sneak attack, the Qin army lost tens of thousands of people.
Although it could not change the situation of Qin's strength, it also dealt a heavy blow to the Qin army.
Upon learning of General Li's defeat, Qin Wang Yingzheng was shocked: he regretted not listening to Wang Jian and his son.
also had to serve: the military talent and wisdom of Wang Jian and his son.
At this time! Wang Ben had already gathered all the soldiers and horses he could muster and was ready to go.
After Wang Jian got the assurance of Qin Wang Yingzheng, he would be cured of his "illness" after recuperating for a few days. When he learned of the battle ahead, he was anxious. After asking for instructions from King Yingzheng of Qin, he immediately led the army to outflank the main force of the Chu army.
Xiang Yan, the commander of the Chu army, learned that Wang Jian and his son had outflanked an army of 600,000 troops, and hurriedly adopted the method of breaking up the whole into pieces to prepare for guerrilla warfare, and quickly jumped out of the encirclement.
Wang Jian and his son had already obtained the military power of the Qin State and were able to mobilize all the soldiers and horses. So! More than 600,000, actually.
Outcome! In the case of Wang Qian's more than 600,000 troops advancing in a carpet manner, he had to retreat quickly and transfer the battlefield.
In 224 BC, the state of Chu attacked the southern county of the state of Qin, trying to change the situation of being chased and change from passive to active.
Wang Jian and his son saw the intention of Chu State, so they did not eat this set and continued to proceed according to the original plan.
Now the Qin State has been carrying out military plans according to Peng Zhou's original plan.
At the beginning, Peng Zhou gave his nephew Qin Wang Yingzheng an idea: gather all the forces of Qin together, and then implement an overwhelming way of advancing. Wherever the Qin army went, it was not recovered.
But! There is one significant drawback. That is: the state of Qin has no border defense.
Except for the garrisons in the main military points, there were no garrisons in other places.
Other words! If the enemy country invades, you can enter the Qin country from anywhere.
Peng Zhou's meaning: let the enemy in! As long as the enemy dares to come, as long as the enemy's forces are gathered, then it will be more convenient for us to encircle and suppress.
Of course! Don't understand it as: no defense! But! The state of Qin deliberately gave up the defensive line to let the enemy in. But! The state of Qin grasped the main level. In key parts, Qin still has garrisons. There were not only garrisons, but also a large number of local garrisons.
The strength of the Qin army was gathered in a certain place, and once the enemy invaded and came in, the garrison gathered here immediately reacted quickly, outflanked and ate the other party.
If the enemy is a small force, then! There are cities everywhere. The city has its own defenses and is fully capable of dealing with the invasion of small forces.
Wang Jian and Meng Wu concentrated their main forces to break the Chu army in Jinan, and Xiang Yan saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to commit suicide.
Still a hair? How to fight?
Gather all the troops of the Chu State, just like the Battle of Changping in the Zhao State back then? Fight against the Qin army?
Xiang Yan knew in his heart: he didn't have that ability, and he couldn't mobilize all the troops of the Chu State.
If he had this ability, the Chu State would have been strong already. At least! Militarily strong.
The Qin State side could think of gathering all its troops in one place, and he Xiang Yan also thought of it. Pity! He is not the king of Chu, he can't be this master! If he blindly asks for it, or really has the ability. So! There must be people in the Chu State who are speaking ill of him behind his back.
Imagine! One person has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, what if he rebels?
So! Can the king of Chu, the nobles of Chu, and the traitorous villain agree? Is it strange if he doesn't kill him?
In 223 BC, the Qin army broke through the capital of Chu, captured the king of Chu, and died of Chu.
Seeing that the overall situation of the world had been decided, Wang Jian and his son once again took the initiative to hand over the military power and asked for resignation to go home for retirement.
"Although the state of Chu is dead, but! It's just that Chu was broken and the king of Chu died. The area of Chu is so large, especially the land of Wuyue in the south of the Yangtze River, it has not yet been pacified! If you father and son can resign? ”
When Qin Wang Yingzheng saw that Wang Jian and his son had come to ask for their resignation again, he was immediately unhappy.
"Lord!"
"Lord!"
Wang Jian and his son were so frightened that they lay on the ground and didn't dare to move.
They thought: King Yingzheng of Qin still wants to kill their father and son.
I thought: What do you want our father and son to do to give us a way to live? Is it okay to hand over the military power? What do you want us to do with father and son? I'm forcing us to kill ourselves? Or was it a battle in the sand? And then! Give us a good name?
In short! You just don't want to keep us alive?
It's true! If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!
Why is Lao Tzu so stupid? Die for you! It ended up like this!
Lao Tzu no longer believes in anything: for the common people of the world!
Lao Tzu struggled all his life, but in the end he died tragically!
"Get up! Alas! ”
Seeing this, King Yingzheng of Qin sighed. said: "Who did the good deeds?" Who opened this head? Employing people is not suspicious, and suspicious people are not needed! If you use it, why kill it? If you kill when you achieve your goal, who will obey you in the world? Alas! Get up! Set the wine! I want to thank you father and son! ”
"Thank you, Lord!"
"Thank you, Lord! Woooooo Wang Jian cried.
"This king wants to be the first king in the world! Don't be a treacherous villain! Your father and son have meritorious, and this king also believes that you have given all the military power to your father and son. If you suspect that your father and son have two hearts, do you dare? Not to mention the 600,000 army, even if you give your father and son 200,000 troops, you can take my Qin State and kill this king! ……”
"Lord! Woooooo Wang Jian was so frightened that he continued to cry.
"Lord! Woooooo Wang Ben also cried with his father.
"Get up!" King Yingzheng of Qin stood up, came to Wang Jian and his son, and helped the two up.
And then! Helped Wang Jian to the side of his desk and sat down opposite the desk.
"Lord!" Where did Wang Jian dare to sit face to face with Wang? Scared and crying. Quickly knelt on the spot, not daring to raise his head.
"This king believes in you! Get up! This king treats you as his father and grandfather! Sit down! How do you want this king to give you assurances? ”
"Lord! Your Majesty doesn't dare! ”
"Sit down!" King Yingzheng's expression changed and he ordered.
Only then did Wang Jian get up and sit tremblingly opposite King Yingzheng of Qin, sharing a case with his master.
"This king doesn't mean to let your father and son die on the battlefield, but just wants your father and son to continue to lead the Qin army and pacify Wu Yue. And then! Extinguish Qi! This king doesn't want you to go into battle yourself! You just sit in the tent and command! If you still don't worry about this king, this king will always be with you! This is not? Didn't this king always follow the army? ”
King Yingzheng of Qin has basically followed the main force of the Qin army since his personal expedition. Wherever the battle goes, he follows. During this period, he returned to Xianyang several times, but it was only at the strong request of his grandfather Peng Zhou that he went back to Queen Linxing and the princess.
Plainly! It's just to have offspring.
Not for men and women!
In the past few years of the war, King Yingzheng of Qin married several princesses. No need to talk nonsense! They were all sent by others on their own initiative.
As the King of Qin, where can there be no women around him?
Once she is pregnant, she will immediately send this princess back to Xianyang.
After getting the assurance of King Yingzheng of Qin again, Wang Jian and his son were relieved.
But! They still haven't given up on the idea of resigning from their official posts and going home to retire.
They know that when power increases, so does the danger.
As long as there are traitors and villains behind their backs, they will not die sooner or later.
