Chapter 140: The Age of Kingship
The crusade between the kings expanded rapidly, the winner was the king and the loser was the coward, when he was young in the Central Plains, the princes plundered, and the unification of the kings was imperative.
At this time, Tian Rong, the king of Qi, although he had a short period of prosperity, the land he annexed mainly lies in the Yan Kingdom and the generation, and the Changshan Kingdom, in fact, the situation seems to be similar to the power of Yuan Shao in the Three Kingdoms period, wandering in the north and east, but the strength is not strong, only the two generals of civil and military, it seems that Xiang Yu can be destroyed as long as he goes north.
Hanzhong Liu Banghan entrenched in the west, annexed the three Qin, and seized the Wei land, and now the place of gathering and condensing, basically accepted the momentum of the Hangu Pass of the Qin State in that year, in fact, friends who know history know that the outbreak of the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty is mainly due to the fact that the people in the world have no food, but in the west of Xianyang, there is a large amount of hoarding of the savings of the Qin State before the mountain, after the Qin unified the world, many granaries are taken care of in the hands of the people, and the officials are relatively small, but so much grain and grass can be enough for the Han Dynasty to be ten years of military rations, Shuzhong, From an economic point of view, the three families of Wei, Zhao and South Korea, Wei is quite rich, there are financial and material resources in the sky, and then the geographical advantage is Hangu Guantian, among the people, Liu Bang chose the supremacy of the people's hearts, so it is only a matter of time before the world is stable, and the initiative and direction are in the hands of Liu Bang, and Han Xin is the sword in the hands of Liu Bang.
The overlord of Western Chu, although it has swallowed Korea, destroyed Jiujiang, swept Hengshan and Linjiang, but Western Chu is powerful in these four places, and the people are embarrassed.
Immediately afterwards, the northern part of the Qi State swept all the way to Liaodong, forming a short-lived prosperous phenomenon, and the Nanyue State also unified the entire southern land, Baiyue returned to one, summing up the problems of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo paid special attention to the people's hearts, so he soon stopped the conquest and devoted himself to the benefit of the people, so as to implement a series of governance programs for Baiyue, which was also the greatest wish of Qin Shi Huang, and South China was completely devoted to China.
"The land of Baiyue cannot be lost, notify the counties, let the people of Guanzhong who have migrated from Guanzhong intermarry with the local people of Yuedi, and all the people of Yuedi can only marry the people of Yuedi" Zhao Tuo then issued a decree, and these messages also spread to the land of the Central Plains.
The princes of the Central Plains expressed deep admiration for this move, especially Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu: "Okay, I didn't expect Zhao Tuo to be a man, for the sake of the entire Chinese nation, he was able to give up external expansion and govern the hundred lands of South Vietnam wholeheartedly, and ordered, that is, I will make an alliance between Western Chu and South Vietnam, and I can't expand it militarily."
The dragon said, "Forever?" ”
"After Zhao Tuo unifies the hearts of the people, there is no hurry to persuade him to surrender"
"I, Wang Yingming, at the moment, if we spend a lot of troops in Western Chu to attack the south, we still need to educate the people, and the Eastern Qi and Western Han are the biggest problems, so as not to be able to concentrate on things in the short term" Long and said.
Then the Overlord smiled.
In the north, Wang Kai has been following the Hun cavalry for a while, but it is difficult to catch a few bandit-like northern barbarians, and now Wang Kai has begun to ponder, suddenly: "Yes, the Huns are generally doing evil under the court, and most of the original ones are mountain villages, guide officers"
"General"
"Immediately get a map of the mountains here for General Ben."
"General, mountain drawings take time to draw, and they may not be easy to make in the short term"
"How do you ...... that?"
"General!" Suddenly, a small soldier with an unassuming appearance came out of the ranks.
"Who are you and what is the matter?" Wang Kai said, and then Xiao Bing took out a piece of paper.
Wang Kai took a package, and then said: "This is the map of the mountain?" Here? ”
"Hmm"
"How could you have that?"
"General Hui, the little one is Ji Qian, a person from Changshan, who used to be a hunter, and he was a cool hunter since he was a child, and when we traveled here, the little one drew this map under the moon for a long time according to the footprints he had walked during the day," Ji Qian said.
Then Wang Kai walked up to Ji Qian and said, "Bring a bow and arrow."
Several cavalrymen lined up, and each cavalryman held a long sword, and asked Ji Qian to hit the hilt of each cavalryman: "You have to use the hilt of seven cavalrymen as fast as possible, otherwise you will ......" After Wang Kai spoke, he saw that Ji Qian had already drawn his bow and arrow, and hit the hilt of each erected sword.
Wang Kai slowly walked towards the cavalry, looked at the distance and the accuracy of the arrow, turned around and walked to Ji Qian, looking at the broken bow.
"General, this bow is light, so it breaks"
"Come on, take the general's dragon bow" The dragon bow is Wang Kai's weapon, the bow and arrow are copper heads, and the strings are made of tiger tendons.
"Pull it away," Wang Kai said.
Then Ji Qian didn't dare, and after Wang Kai emphasized again, Ji Qian finally chose to pull the dragon bow.
"Good bow, this bow copper-headed tiger tendon, is the best in the bow, not so much a dragon bow, but a Xuantian bow" Ji Qian's words paused slightly, and after Wang Kai handed the bow and arrow to Ji Qian: "Here in the mountains and forests, you look at the living creatures, I will consider whether to give it to you"
"General!"
"Don't be modest, the bow is"
"歘"
An arrow pierced, and it happened that the long snake crawling at this time, it seemed that this bow was prepared for Ji Qian.
"General, this bow is your best" said the lieutenant.
But Wang Kai questioned: "The golden bow is easy to obtain, the warrior is hard to find, and the bow is worthy of the hero"
In this way, Wang Kai and Ji Qian soon became confidants, and took Ji Qian to find the Hun guerrillas.
"Where do you think the Hun oil soldiers will haunt?"
"Ji Qian has lived in Changshan since he was a child, and some elders have told me about the customs of the Xiongnu, if I rely on intuition, I should be able to find it"
"Should?" The guide said.
Wang Kai said with a firm look: "I believe in you"
In fact, this belief, Ji Qian really did not disappoint Wang Kai, won the nomadic Hun cavalry in a battle, killed all of them, carried their heads, Wang Kai and others returned to the border in triumph, but at this time, an incredible thing happened, that is, the Huns took advantage of Wang Kai's absence to guard, the army went south, broke through the pass, and slaughtered General Meng Qian.
"It's over, it's over, General Meng Qian is in danger" Then I saw Wang Kai lead the cavalry to turn around and rush directly to the headquarters of the Great Wall Guards.
Along the way, the corpses were all over the field, and they came to a big tent, and there were two guards in front of the door.
"Who are you?"
"You're General Wang Kai, right?"
"You are?"
"Under Pei Yuanhu, my general is waiting for you in the tent"
It turned out that when the Xiongnu army went south, it happened that Han Xin led the troops to come, so naturally there was no need to explain in detail, it must have been easy to set the Xiongnu, and then Han Xin looked at Wang Kai into the account: "Oh, you are Wang Kai?" Sure enough."
"You are Han Xin, the god of soldiers?"
"God of War? Haha, this hat is really high enough" Han Xin smiled and then said reverently: "Come, pay homage to Han Shuai, if it weren't for the timely arrival of the Western Han army, maybe our Great Wall guards wouldn't be able to hold on"
"General, you know, Wang Kai used to be in the Western Chu Land
with ......"
"Okay, Kai, it doesn't matter what kind of general you used to be, now Han Shuai is leading troops to help us pacify Shan Yu Miaa, because Shan Yu Yu's son Yatolada is imprisoned, if he is in power, everything will naturally be fine, Han Shuai is to help us, you should cooperate well" Meng Qian's words ended, and at this time Li Zuoche appeared.
"Kai"
"Master Li Yi"
"Well, I'm now a minister under Han Shuai, if you don't mind, can you take a step to speak," Li Zuoche said, and then accompanied Kai out of the coach's tent.
In the distance of the tent, Li Zuoche looked at Kai, and then asked questions: "Lord Li Yi didn't say that he would come to the Great Wall Guards, why did he finally take refuge under the banner of the Great Han?" Doesn't this belong to the betrayal from Western Chu to Han? ”
"Of course not, I took refuge under the banner of Chen Yu of Daiguo, and then this person forgot his righteousness when he saw profit, and even killed his master, and then Han Shuai did everything possible to subdue Li Yi, he felt that Li Yi had some talent, so the two of us talked all night, talking about the country in the world, among which Li Yi felt that the reason why Han Shuai could be invincible was completely in his own pattern" After Li Zuoche spoke, Kai then asked: "Pattern? ”
"Yes, in order to confirm Han Shuai's pattern, Li Yi visited a lot of Han Shuai's border people, but both the opposing and friends said that Han Shuai raised troops, has always been for the people's life, and is upright, never snatched with a sword, nor did he do despicable and dirty things, this Northern Expedition to the Huns is purely to sympathize with the suffering of the people, and there is no idea of annexing the Great Wall guards at all" After Li Yi's words.
"Really?" Kay questioned again.
Li Yi said: "Three thousand soldiers and horses collect the Great Wall, do you think it is realistic?" ”
"There are more than 400,000 guards on the Great Wall, which is really unrealistic," Kai replied.
And at this time, Li Yi said again: "Han Shuai decided to attack the Xiongnu Shan Yu with 3,000 men"
"Three thousand? No, Kai was shocked, but then Li Yi told Kai: "But Han Shuai asked you to go to Mobei by name"
"If it is really for the people's life, then I Kai will also fully support, ask Han Shuai, I Kai is now receiving a general, a hundred steps through Yang, and is particularly sensitive to the Huns, and extremely good at drawing maps to find" After Wang Kai's words, Li Yi was very excited: "Great, so that the attack on the Huns will be able to be called"
"Well, by the way, I heard that everyone calls you Li Zuoche now? This is why" Wang Kai was puzzled, and then Li Yi said: "In fact, Li Yi's original name was Li Zuoche, and he was a descendant of Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State."
"Li Mu, this!" Kai looked at Li Zuoche with admiration, and then the two rushed to Han Xin's place hand in hand.
At present, Han Xin is discussing the situation in the north with Meng Qian, and the Xiongnu are divided into five tribes, in fact, the power of the Xiongnu has been divided, but the short-term alliance seems to be not small, of course, there will definitely be selfishness.
At this time, Kai entered the tent and met Han Shin.
"It was Kaido who was rude just now, please don't blame me Han Shuai"
"Hurry up, the general is a hero, Han Xin has heard of it in the Central Plains, the Great Wall guards Wang Kai, asks for the people's life, is brave and good at fighting, and does not let go of a thief with both civil and military skills, this time to the Great Wall, Han Xin understands that General Wang Kai for the people, even the base camp can not be taken into account, such a spirit is exactly what Han Xin wants" After Han Xin's words, Wang Kai pleaded guilty and confessed his mistake in the pious place, but Han Xin said: "For the general, keep in mind your mission, this is the most valuable man, besides, if you don't give a chance Han Xin!" I really don't know how to make a strong general."
Looking at Han Xin, Kai was moved by his easy-going thinking, and he really couldn't see how such an easy-going marshal could be the god of war, Kai thought twice: "Han Shuai is good, but I really don't understand, is the strategy of winning the battle really formulated by him?" ”
