Chapter 65: Changping
Lian Po was ordered by Zhao Wangdan to go to the rescue of Shangdang. Lian Po led the army out of Handan and crossed the Danshui. Scout, send a letter for help from the Plains King. Lian Po saw that the situation of Shangdang was in danger, so he left his baggage and led 50,000 cavalry to the rescue.
Lian Po led his army to Changping, but met the fleeing civilians and wounded soldiers of the Shangdang. When Lian Po saw this scene, he knew that the situation in the party was not optimistic. Lian Po stopped the fleeing soldier and asked, "How is the situation in the party?" ”
The soldier knew that the person in front of him was Lian Po, so he knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Old General Lian, the party has been broken by the Qin army. Huayangjun died fighting for the country. ”
Lian Po traveled day and night to rush to the party to help, but he didn't expect that the party was lost, and he was still late. Lian Po looked at the fleeing people and the injured soldiers, and his heart was like a knife. Lian Po asked, "Pingyuan-kun, where are you?" ”
"Pingyuanjun took the people of Shangdang and evacuated Changping."
Lian Po left behind 30,000 soldiers and assisted Changping to guard the generals, responsible for accepting and properly rehousing the people of the Shangdang and the wounded soldiers. At this time, a large number of fleeing soldiers poured in.
Lian Po stopped a few people and asked, "Who of you saw Pingyuanjun." ”
One humanitarian: "Pingyuan Jun evacuated with the people of Shangdang, but was caught up by the Qin army. In the scuffle, we lost contact with Plains-kun. ”
Seeing that Pingyuanjun was still alive, Lian Po was overjoyed and raised his voice: "Everyone, follow me to rescue Pingyuanjun." ”
Lian Po selected 20,000 sturdy knights and went to the rescue. Lian Po saw that there were fleeing civilians and wounded soldiers everywhere. Searching everywhere, there was no trace of Pingyuan-kun.
A bad feeling surged in Lian Po's heart, and he said in his heart: "Pingyuan-kun, you can't have anything!" ”
An iron cavalry came quickly and said in a loud voice: "Old General Lian Po, find the Qin army and besiege our army." ”
Lian Po was worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and when he heard that the Qin army was surrounding the army, he ordered: "Go to the rescue quickly." ”
Suddenly, the drums beat loudly, and the sound of killing was everywhere. Lian Po had just arrived at the battlefield, but he saw a man leading a small number of soldiers and running towards him. The man was followed by a large number of pursuers. Lian Po waited for the man to approach, and took a closer look, but saw that the person who came was Pingyuanjun, and shouted: "Pingyuanjun, Lian Po is here." ”
Seeing that it would be Lian Po, Pingyuan Jun shouted, "Lian Po save me." ”
"The whole army listens to the order and rescues Pingyuanjun." Seeing that he had finally caught up, Lian Po waved his long sword forward and ordered, "Kill." ”
Lian Po repelled the Qin army, joined Pingyuanjun and others, and pleaded guiltily: "Pingyuanjun, Lian Po, it's too late, you have suffered." ”
Pingyuanjun remembered the thrilling and narrowly escaped death just now, and said excitedly: "Lian Po, you are finally here." ”
Lian Po wore battle armor and knelt down and said: "Lian Po's rescue is late, please, Pingyuan Jun surrenders." ”
Tens of thousands of soldiers knelt on the ground when they saw Lian Po, and they also knelt on the ground.
Seeing this, Pingyuanjun hugged and said, "Old General Lian, please hurry up." If it weren't for General Lian, come to the rescue. My life is at stake. ”
Lian Po stood up with the support of Pingyuanjun.
Seeing that the soldiers were still kneeling, Pingyuan Jun hurriedly said, "Soldiers, please get up quickly." ”
Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted, "Thank you, Pingyuan-kun. ”
Pingyuan Jun looked at the corpses of the fallen army and the Qin army on the battlefield, and asked, "Old General Lian, the Shangdang has been lost, what should we do next." ”
Lian Po said: "The Qin army has occupied Shangdang, and we can't regain the lost territory with this little force." The Qin general Wang Yi is also a person who is good at using soldiers, and we can't be careless. ”
Pingyuan Jun saw that the Shangdang was quickly lost under the offensive of Wang Di, and he also felt that the Qin State was brave in battle, and the Qin generals were even more knowledgeable soldiers. However, thinking of Qin's attack on Shangdang, Huayangjun died in battle, and said unwillingly: "We have lost tens of thousands of soldiers, it is difficult for us to become Shangdang, so we will not be able to give it to Qin State." Old General Lian, you have to avenge the tens of thousands of soldiers I died in battle! ”
The soldiers who fled with Pingyuan Jun said in unison: "Please General Lian, avenge us." ”
Lian Po looked at these Sanjin men who had escaped death, and said with tears in his eyes: "We must avenge the revenge of the Qin State against the party." ”
Pingyuanjun asked, "Shangdang, can we still take it back?" ”
Although Lian Po did not engage in a large-scale war with the Qin State, he saw that the Qin army had captured Shangdang in such a short period of time, and his combat power could not be underestimated.
"Now, we have less than 100,000 troops in our hands, and we are not capable of expelling the Qin army from Shangdang. Our army has experienced a crushing defeat, and the morale of the army is scattered. The top priority at the moment is to straighten out the morale of the army and hold the position, so as to prevent the Qin army from attacking by surprise and taking the opportunity to attack our Changping. Lian Po said loudly to Pingyuan Jun and tens of thousands of soldiers: "Once our army arrives in Changping, we will attack the Qin army and recapture Shangdang." ”
Seeing that the party was still expected to take it back, Pingyuan Jun hurriedly said: "Victory, listen to the orders of the old general Lian." ”
Tens of thousands of soldiers also shouted: "Wish, listen to the orders of the old general." ”
"Thank you for trusting me." Lian Po drew his long sword, raised his arm upward, and swore: "I swear again, I will lead you to repel the Qin army and recover the Shangdang." ”
When Pingyuan Jun heard this, he said emotionally: "Victory, I look forward to General Lian leading us to regain the party, and I will be ashamed." ”
Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison: "Recover the party, and be ashamed." ”
It is said that Wang Ji broke through the blocked Zhao army from the front and arrived at Shangdang, but saw that Shangdang City had been broken by Wang Ling and Wang Ye. Wang Yi entered the Shangdang City, but he didn't see Wang Ling, Wang Ye and others, and he recruited one person, so he learned about it. Wang Ling and Wang Ye led the iron cavalry to pursue the Pingyuan Jun and the fleeing Shangdang people.
Wang Di was ordered by the king of Qin to attack Shangdang and expel the Zhao army. But he did not get the decree of the king of Qin to attack the state of Zhao. Wang Ji saw that Wang Ling and Wang Ye ignored the orders of the Qin King and expanded the war, and while having a headache on one side, he dispatched generals on the other side to support Wang Ling.
Wang Ling and Wang Ye were defeated, but they encountered Wang Di's reinforcements. When Wang Ling and Wang Ye saw that Wang Di was coming, they entered the big tent.
When Wang Ji saw them, he exclaimed, "You are convicted." ”
Wang Ling and Wang Ye said in unison: "The last general will be guilty." ”
Seeing that the two confessed their guilt, Wang Yi was also happy, but he couldn't bear to punish him, and asked, "You can catch up with Pingyuan Jun." ”
Wang Yi also felt that capturing Pingyuan Jun alive was also a great achievement. By virtue of Pingyuanjun's identity and status in the Zhao State, they could use it to blackmail the Zhao State and coerce Zhao Wang Dan. In the negotiations between Qin and Zhao, they will be able to gain a greater advantage.
Wang Ling sighed and said, "We have already caught up with Pingyuan Jun. What a pity! Or let him escape. ”
"I escaped." Wang Yu knew that Wang Ling's ability to use troops could not let Pingyuan Jun escape, and asked, "What happened?" ”
Wang Ling lamented: "We pursued the Zhao army and arrived at the territory of the Zhao State. Seeing that, he was about to capture Pingyuan Jun alive, but was intercepted by Zhao Jun. ”
Wang Yu asked, "Who can stop you?" ”
Wang Ling said the image of the veteran of Zhao State and the process of fighting with Zhao Jun word for word. Wang Ye and Zhao Guotie fought twice, which also supplemented the combat power of the Zhao army.
When Wang Yi heard this, he thought for a while, his expression moved, and he sighed: "You are lucky to meet him and be able to get out of the way." ”
When Wang Ye saw that Wang Di mentioned General Zhao, he was a little more worried and asked, "Who is General Zhao who makes the general feel like this." ”
Wang Ling didn't know who Wang Ji was talking about, but he saw that the general had a little more scruples and asked, "General, who is the person we met?" ”
"Who else could it be." Seeing that the two of them hadn't thought of who Zhao Jiang was, Wang Ji reminded: "Who is the most capable person in Zhao Kingdom." ”
Wang Ye blurted out: "Ma Fujun." ”
Wang Yi said: "Ma Fujun is dead. ”
Wang Ye thought for a while, and then said, "Could it be that all Qi people are Changjun Tiandan?" ”
"Tiandan's deeds spread all over the princes." Wang Ling shook his head and said: "Veteran Zhao's age and image do not match Tian Dan. ”
Wang Ye asked, "It's not Ma Fujun, it's not Tiandan." Who is Zhao Jiang? ”
Wang Ling's eyes moved, and he exclaimed: "Could it be the old general of Zhao State, Lian Po?" ”
Wang Yi nodded and said, "According to your description, I assert that General Zhao is the old general Lian Po. ”
Wang Ye was surprised: "We met Lian Po? ”
"That's what I just got." Wang Yu took out the news from the scouts, threw it to Wang Ling, and said: "Zhao Wangdan is a general with Lian Po, and he led an army of 200,000 to support the party. ”
Wang Ling picked up the things thrown by Wang Di, looked at it a little, and laughed: "I am not ashamed to lose to Lian Po." ”
Wang Ye said: "Zhao Wangdan is a general with Lian Po and sent 200,000 troops. Is Zhao planning to go to all-out war with our country? ”
"The war between us and Zhao has already begun." Wang Yi sighed: "We have met an opponent against Lian Po. ”
Wang Ling was shocked when he saw Wang Di say such a thing, and said with a smile: "It's just cheap, what is there to be afraid of." ”
Wang Di said: "If you knew Lian Po's ability, you wouldn't have said such a thing. ”
Wang Ling asked, "What is Lian Po's ability?" ”
"This person is good at fighting and defending. Soldiers have a saying, strike first, and then be controlled by others. Lian Po is a person who plans and then acts. Wang Di paused for a while, and then said: "Lian Po has no background, but with his military exploits, he has become the head of the military generals of Zhao State step by step, and has won the trust of King Zhao Huiwen." ”
Wang Ye smiled and said: "Lian Po is good at fighting, how can he compare to the general." ”
Wang Yi smiled bitterly: "The world is so big, how dare I be arrogant." The name of Lian Po has long been famous among the princes, you don't know. ”
Wang Ye asked, "General, how did Lian Po become the head of the military generals of Zhao State." ”
Wang Yi recalled the past and said with emotion: "Twenty years ago, the five kingdoms were together. Lian Po is the general of Zhao Guohuaqi. Lian Po went deep alone, led the army to attack Qi, won a battle, and became famous among the princes. Lian Po was also worshiped by King Zhao Huiwen as the secretary because of his military exploits, ranking first among the military generals of Zhao State. Lian Po also gained the reputation of the princes of Yongguan. ”
Wang Ye exclaimed: "The princes of Yongguan are talking about Lian Po!" I thought it was Ma Fujun? ”
"Twenty years ago, Lian Po was already a prince. Isn't it, Lian Po, like Wu Anjun, is a person who can fight well. Wang Ling asked: "General, who is more powerful than Lian Po and Wu Anjun." ”
"Wu Anjun is good at fighting, and Lian Po is also good at fighting." Wang Ji thought of these two people, and the record of more than 20 years was not conclusive, "The two really fight, I don't know who loses and who wins." ”
Wang Ling said disapprerovingly: "Wu Anjun has fought all his life without defeat. It's just cheap, how can it be compared. General, Lian Po and Wu Anjun are equally famous, will this be..."
"You! I only know that Wu Anjun conquered the princes, but I don't know that Lian Po is chasing the Central Plains. Seeing how much Wang Ji said this, he might as well say a few more words, "Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, one article and one martial arts, assist King Zhao Huiwen, compete for the Central Plains, and compete for hegemony among the princes." Zhao Guo will be peaceful, and it is even more a good story. ”
Wang Ling said: "Lin Xiangru is the one who bullied my king in the meeting of Michi?" ”
"Yes, that's the man." Wang Yu let out a sigh of relief, and said: "Lian Po and Lin are similar, they are capable generals of Zhao State." Lian Po can rank first among the generals, and he can still stand tall in the Zhao Dynasty for more than 20 years. If you underestimate him, you will suffer. ”
Wang Ye was shocked and said: "Lian Po and Wu Anjun are in their names, isn't it, we have met a real opponent." ”
"Yes! We've met our opponents. Wang Yi said: "Lian is quite good at using soldiers and fighting bravely. This person can attack and defend. Zhao Wangdan attacked me with Zhao Guo's famous general, which is enough to prove that Zhao Guo really wants to fight us. In this battle, we must not be careless in the slightest, let alone underestimate the enemy. We have to take it step by step and work steadily. ”
Wang Ling saw that he met Lian Po, a famous general of Zhao State, and asked, "General, what should we do when we meet Lian Po." ”
Wang Ji sighed: "If there is a choice, I don't want to go to war with him. ”
Wang Ling remembered that he could fight against Lian Po, and his blood surged up: "We met Lian Po, and this battle cannot be avoided." General, if we don't fight, we have to fight. ”
"The king asked us to take down the Shangdang, and there was no order, we started a war with the Zhao State." Wang Yi glanced in the direction of Xianyang and continued: "I have repaired a book and sent it back to Xianyang. The king ordered me to attack Zhao, and even if our opponent was Lian Po, a famous general of Zhao, I would not retreat. ”
Wang Ling asked, "General, will we start a full-scale war with the Zhao State?" ”
Wang Yi said: "You still don't understand the character of the king. We have declared war with Zhao State, and it is only a matter of time before we start a full-scale war. Pass the order down and get ready. When the king's order came, it was the day we went to war with Zhao. ”
Wang Ling asked again: "General, once we start a war with Zhao State, where will we be and divide the victory and defeat." ”
Wang Yi got up, walked to Kanyutu, pointed to a point, and said, "Changping." ”
Wang Ye asked: "General, why, assert that we will fight Zhao in Changping and decide the winner." ”
"Our opponent is Lian Po, he is here, do you think, we can move forward?" Wang Di turned around, lowered his voice and said, "Changping will be the place where we will fight a decisive battle with Zhao State. Everyone, get ready for war with the Zhao Kingdom. ”
