Chapter 51
On the wall of Danyang, he stood there with a majestic face and a white armor, watching the tens of thousands of captured Chu troops outside the wall slowly move away under the escort of the Qin soldiers. He knew in his heart that this was a miracle, a miracle created by himself. The state of Chu has become a remnant sheep like the state of Wei, and the countries have abandoned it, and this piece of fat can be enjoyed at any time.
When the king of Qin returned the city to the state of Wei, Bai Qi also argued with the royal court, but the king of Qin still ignored the dissuasion and ordered it to be done. After Bai Qi dispersed the dynasty, he went straight to the prime minister's mansion, and when he saw Zhang Yi, he asked: "Why don't you persuade the king to give this order?" That every inch of land was won by the soldiers! ”
Zhang Yi smiled. "Senior brother! That was the advice of the junior brother for the king! ”
Bai Qi said angrily: "What are your intentions? ”
"For the sake of your meritorious service!" Zhang Yi froze his face. "Senior brother only knows the art of war, not strategy. Let me ask you, who will Qin Dang fight again? ”
"It's Han and Zhao!" Bai Qi said confidently. "Their coalition has newly failed, and I am about to take advantage of the victory to pursue it."
"Senior brother Chayi! The re-fighter is the state of Chu. Zhang Yi was puzzled when she saw it, so she had to signal to sit down. Fight the country of the coalition again, and woe will also be! He straightened up. Qin's strong army occupies an area, all countries are afraid, and the alliance wants to fight together, this is the people of the world to attack Qin, how is it not a big disaster! ”
"Chu, Qin Lianheng, junior brother, your plan is also. If the two strong refuse, what are they afraid of! ”
"No, now Chu has betrayed the alliance and wants to raise troops to attack Qin. If the Wei State is unstable, will it not be attacked by many parties! ”
"Who can guarantee that Wei can really care about Qin?"
"That's why it's with the city. Wei has been crippled, and if you get a small profit, you will forget the righteousness. Zhang Yi smiled. When did the junior brother misread it! The senior brother is already a general, and now he is gathering troops and preparing for a big battle with Chu. This is a battle between the two sides, and it is time for the senior brother to make a meritorious service! ”
Sure enough, a few days later, the battle report had reached the royal court, and Chu's 100,000 army had marched towards Qin. Bai Qi was duty-bound, and was ordered by the royal court to lead the generals to battle. Ten miles outside the city of King Qin, wine is placed to send off, and I hope that 100,000 Qin Yong will retreat from the Chu army as soon as possible.
Bai Qi knew that the Chu army was an indignant army, and raised the elite of the whole country to crusade against the untrustworthy Qin State, and the brave soldiers were angry. When the two strong fight each other, even the winner will suffer heavy losses. So Bai first set up a heavy army in ambush in the favorable terrain of Danyang, and then led troops to meet the Chu soldiers. The vanguard was defeated in just one day, stopped for a day, and then fought bravely against the Chu army, and was defeated again a day later. In this way, the Qin army was defeated again and again, leading the tired Chu army to the outside of Danyang City.
The Chu army was eager to fight, and then thought that the combined forces of Wei, Zhao, and Han would definitely drag most of the Qin army, so they drove straight in, eager to kill Xianyang immediately and tear the King of Qin to pieces.
Their anger was understandable, and Chu had formed an alliance with Qi to resist the eastward advance of the Qin army with Wei, Zhao, and Han. However, Zhang Yi of the Qin State came to the State of Chu to lobby for the alliance between Qin and Chu with the Sixty Cities as bait, and let Chu lose the trust of the Qi State and the coalition army, and finally guaranteed Qin's victory over the coalition army. But the Qin State reversed itself, and Zhang Yi actually lied that there were six cities instead of sixty cities. The Chu army, from the king of Chu to the generals and soldiers, was extremely angry.
The attack of the Chu army was bloody, and even the prisoners of war and the common people of the Qin people were not spared, and wherever they went, there were no houses and villages, and they did not want to see a single Qin person.
Bai Qi watched the Chinese soldiers and horses of the Chu army enter the ambush, and with an order, the Qin army waited for work and surrounded the Chu army with an absolute advantage.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the central army of the Chu army hurriedly shrank its forces to prepare for the battle, and sent people to break through the camp to notify the left and right armies to come to help. I thought that the inside should be combined with the outside, break out of the encirclement of the Qin army, and then defeat the Qin army. But this time, he besieged but did not attack, but the Chu army that came to the aid was introduced into the Jedi, and after a burst of tearing, the tens of thousands of Chu troops had no strength to fight back, so they all laid down their arms and surrendered.
Seeing that the general situation was gone, the Chinese army of the Chu army hurriedly rushed out to kill the prince who was supervising the army. But the Qin army had already prepared traps and ropes for him, and after a day and a night of fighting, only a few Chu troops rushed out, and all the Chinese generals in the prince were captured.
Bai Qi stood on Danyang City, looking eastward, the territory of Chu was unusually quiet. He knew that there was no longer a large army there that could stop his advance, and he only needed to wave his troops eastward, and within a few days he would be able to reach the Chu capital Yingcheng. Maybe the king of Chu is now in a panic, thinking about how to escape!
The heralds ran up from the city. "Report to the general! The 80,000 Chu prisoners have been taken by our army to the designated place according to the general's orders, waiting to be dispatched! ”
Bai Qi looked left and right, and the generals also looked at him expectantly. "Our Qin army has no extra rations, and we can't let the tiger return to the mountain and make enemies with the Qin army again! How do you wait to see how it falls? ”
And the congregation looked at one another, and no one spoke. "Everything is up to the general!"
Bai Qi sneered. "The king of Chu lost his four hooves and was a remnant sheep!" He turned to the heralds. "Remove the armor of the Chu army and kill them all!"
The herald hesitated, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and looked at Bai Qi with wide eyes.
The generals looked at him in amazement.
"Kill them all!" Bai Qi raised his voice, word by word, and glared at the soldiers.
"Yes! Kill them all. The soldier repeated the order, turned and walked slowly down the steps, led the horses, and a group of people went out of the city and ran in different directions.
Bai Qi and the generals quietly watched as the heralds disappeared into the distance. "Generals, the Chinese army will discuss the matter at night, and the troops will send to Yingdu tomorrow!"
"Yes!" The generals walked down the walls.
Outside the city, a small group of men and horses galloped over, and when they arrived at the city, Bai Qi saw that it was Zhang Yi, the prime minister. He hurriedly got out of the city and went out of the city gate to greet Zhang Yi.
"Congratulations to the General! Make new contributions. Zhang Yi got off the horse and hugged his fist at Bai. Sure enough, the general lived up to the trust of my king, and he performed miraculous feats, presumably the king was celebrating the general with the masses at this time! ”
"Why did the prime minister come to the front line?" Bai Qi knew that he must have something important to do. "Just the Chu army, Lord He Lao is here, and now the king of Chu has become a crippled sheep! Hahaha! ”
Zhang Yi also laughed.
After laughing, Zhang Yi motioned for his entourage to step back, and he looked at Bai Qi playfully. "What do you want to do next?"
"Lead the three armies straight to Yingdu, you should let the King of Chu know the interests of my Qin army!"
"Do you know why I'm here in the starry night, junior brother?"
"What was I about to ask you?"
"The king ordered me to rush to the starry night, so that you should stop going east and return to the division quickly!"
"Ahh Bai Qi exploded when he heard it. "What? Our army annihilated the Chu army, and now there are no soldiers in Chu, and it is the time to smash Yingdu and capture the king of Chu alive. The king ordered the return to the army, and the general could not obey his orders! ”
"This is exactly why the king ordered his junior brother to come in person!" Zhang Yi sighed. "Senior brother didn't know that at the beginning, the State of Qi hated the State of Chu for forgetting his righteousness and forgetting his righteousness, and privately formed an alliance with Qin. Seeing that Qin and Chu turned against each other, they did not send troops to save Chu, and they were indifferent to Wei according to the army. But now the situation has changed, the Yan State has gradually become stronger in the past two years, and Senior Brother Su Qin persuaded the Five Kingdoms to attack the Qi State! This is a great time. Qin's fierce enemy, Qi Ye. Qin, Qi one east and one west, Qin originally wanted to make friends from afar and attack closely, but Su Qin's senior brother Shi Yan, he had seen through the plan of Qin and Qi, so he adopted the combination of vertical and weak, and the weak were linked, intending to resist Qin and Qi and develop and expand the Yan State. ”
"What do you have to do with me?"
"Bad! Today's war, if there is a big victory, the next one must be Qin. You should know Senior Brother Su's strategy, he is not a person from Xun and Yibang! Zhang Yi said gloomily. Above the royal court, we are in line with the king, and instead of being enemies, it is better to go with the flow and join the ranks of the warlords. Therefore, the king ordered me to pass on the order, and you personally led 20,000 elite soldiers to take the border of Yan and Qi, and join the coalition army to attack the country of Qi! ”
"What's the point of winning Qi, it's better to be affordable!"
"Senior brother! This is a rough idea, and it is rash. Qi is my great Qin's fierce enemy, and Chu is already as my senior brother said, like Wei, a remnant sheep can be eaten at any time! Zhang Yi said with a smile. Do you know who is the commander of Yan Jun? ”
Bai Qi was taken aback. "You won't tell me it's Senior Brother Le!"
"It's Le Yi!" Zhang Yi said with a smile. "You two are like brothers, this time you will join forces to defeat the Qi army!"
"Qi Jun has senior brothers Sun Bin and Zou Ji, I'm afraid I can't take it lightly!"
"Senior brother doesn't know! After the Battle of Maling, Senior Brother Pang became the name of Senior Brother Sun for the overall situation, destroyed the elite of the Wei army, and killed himself in front of Senior Brother Sun. From then on, Senior Brother Sun never talked about war again, lived in seclusion in the mountains, and did not dim the world. Senior Brother Zou is also unaccustomed to seeing King Qi's selfish desires swelling, being stubborn and self-serving, going against the grain, and has been retired for many years! ”
"Alas!" Bai Qi sighed. "When the kings are weak, they are all wise and virtuous, but once they are strong, they will reveal their true nature, and I really don't know what will happen to my king in the future!"
"I'm not waiting for that! Senior Brother Su is a swallow land, and he is also my enemy. It's best for him to wait for my senior brothers, don't be like Senior Brother Sun Pang, meet on the battlefield, although the emotions are the same, but we can also say goodbye to death! Zhang Yi also sighed. What happened to the people captured by the Chu army? Zhang Yi suddenly remembered this.
"Kill them all!" Bai Chao said lightly.
"What?" Zhang Yi looked at Bai Qi with a frightened face. "Kill them all?"
Bai Qi nodded. "Do you still have to eat the grain of the Qin army, and then make enemies of the Qin State?"
"Senior brother is still young!" Zhang Yi looked at Bai Qi with pity. "Sir, I'm afraid I won't see you again!"
Why? The two armies clash, and the destruction of the enemy is the first! ”
"Alas!" Zhang Yi sighed. "Senior brother! When you report to the king, you can say that the Chu prisoners only killed them when they started an incident, tens of thousands! ”
"How..."
"Don't say it again, even my heart aches for you, junior brother! Do you know that he will never obey the Qin army, and there will be no more surrenders! ”
"The king is also a military conquest, under a strong army, how can there be a disobedient people?"
Zhang Yi stopped talking and walked silently towards the city.
