Chapter 268: Qin Xiang
"How's the preparation going?"
Just as the new version of the Five Tigers was trying to storm the Yellow Turban Formation for the last time, somewhere in the military formation, some people were engaged in a secret conversation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Back to Li Xiang, Meng Ben is already in place, and my father has secretly mastered the command of the dog, just wait for Li Xiang's order!" The person who responded to the voice had a face like a crown of jade, eyes like a star, a majestic figure, a vigorous posture, and a spear in his hand, not a bystander, but Wang Ben, a famous general of Great Qin.
In this person's mouth, Li Xiangzi is undoubtedly Li Si.
Several of them are characters summoned by Fusu through "Lü's Spring and Autumn", and they have no loyalty to Zhang Jiao, so they seem to be doing something unsavory together at this time!
This can also be understood from Wang Ben's mouth, his father Wang Jian is also the kind of person who is not loyal to Zhang Jiao, but at this time he secretly took over his son Wang Li's subordinates.
Why did Wang Jian have no subordinates of his own and want to take over the subordinates of his grandson Wang Li?
Because Wang Li was the first group of people to be summoned, he came out with Zhang Han, Sima Xin and others, but, to be reasonable, Wang Li's early appearance was purely accidental.
Because Zhang Jiao's summoning is mainly aimed at the anti-king category, Wang Li is actually not among them.
Qin II sent Wang Li, Zhang Han and others to lead an army to attack Zhao and besiege Zhao Xie and Zhang Er in Julu City. At that time, someone said: "Wang Li is a famous general of the Qin Dynasty." Now that he is leading the powerful Qin army to attack the newly established Zhao State, he will definitely be able to win. A passer-by said, "No." It is said that the third generation of the family of generals will definitely lose the battle. Why? Because his family has killed too many people, the offspring of his house will suffer the punishment of evil. Now Wang Li is the third generation of generals of the Wang family. “
Wang Li's army attacked Zhao without success, Pengcheng was far away from Guanzhong, and the north and west were not stable. If Zhang Han did not capture Pengcheng in a short time, the food would inevitably be tight, and the lone army would go deeper, and the grain road would be disturbed, and Wang Li's army continued to attack Zhao. And Wang Li gave up Zhao Guo to attack Pengcheng together, and the rear was Zhao Guoduan. If you can't advance in the front and you can't retreat in the back, you're bound to be wiped out. At this time, there was an accidental event that prompted Zhang Han to go north with all his might.
Wang Lijun implemented a policy of wooing Zhao and deceived the second secretary to recruit Zhao general Li Liang. Li Liang killed Wuchen's sister because of the rudeness of King Wuchen's sister to him, defected to the Qin army, and killed Wuchen. Later, he was defeated by Zhang Er and Chen Yu, and took refuge in Zhang Han. Zhang Han seized this opportunity to send troops to defeat the Zhao army, and Wang Lijun took the opportunity to surround Yu Julu, the king of Zhao. Zhang Han's army entrenched in the south of it, escorting grain and grass for Wang Li's army, and guarding Wang Li's army on the flank, forming a flank of the guard.
After Zhang Han, the general of the Qin army, defeated Xiang Liang, the leader of the anti-Qin rebel army in Chu, he thought that Chu was no longer enough to worry, so he led more than 200,000 Qin troops to attack Zhao in the north, and urgently transferred 200,000 Qin troops from Wang Libu in Shangjun to go south, besieged King Zhao and rested in Julu, and in desperation, King Zhao sent envoys to King Huai of Chu and the princes of various countries for help. At that time, the Qin army was very strong, and the army of Zhao Zhujun was stationed in the north of Julu City, and no one dared to go forward to meet it. Xiang Yu took the initiative to ask for revenge for the Qin army's killing of his uncle Xiang Liang, so King Huai of Chu took Song Yi as the general, Xiang Yu as the second general, and Fan Zeng as the last general, and led more than 60,000 troops to the north to relieve the difficulty of the giant deer.
Soon, Xiang Yu, the general of Chu, led the Chu army to rescue Julu, attacked the Qin army, captured Wang Li, and Wang Li's army surrendered to the princes' army.
In the subsequent Battle of Julu, the Qin army was defeated by Xiang Yu, and the Qin army retreated. Zhang Han retreated to Jianyuan and was stationed, and Xiang Yu was stationed on the south bank of Zhangshui, and the two armies held each other without fighting.
Zhang Han established himself as the king of Yong, called the king to the west of Xianyang, and built the capital to waste the hill. Changshi Sima Xin, who used to be an Oak Yang Prison Peng, once had kindness to Xiang Liang; Captain Dong Phong initially persuaded Zhang Han to surrender to Chu. Therefore, Sima Xin was named the king of Sai; Called the king east of Xianyang to the Yellow River, built the capital of Liyang; Feng Dong Fei was the king of Zhai, called the king in Shangjun, and built the capital Gaonu.
In August of the first year of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang used Han Xin's strategy to return to the army from the ancient road and attack Zhanghan, the king of Yong. Zhang Han met the Han army in Chencang, and King Yong was defeated and retired to the abandoned hill. Liu Bang then pacified Yongdi, reached Xianyang eastward, and led his army to besiege King Yong's Yuruiqiu.
Liu Bangjiu attacked the abandoned hill, until June of the second year of the Han Dynasty, the Han army flooded the city and the city was broken, Zhang Han then drew his sword and killed himself.
In general, Wang Li belonged to the one who died for Qin Xiao, theoretically speaking, he was not within the scope of Zhang Jiao's summoning, and the reason why he appeared was purely just included in Zhang Han's team.
In any case, Wang Li has a place in Zhang Han's group of people after all, so it is natural that he is also one of the generals who command the army.
However, even if it is because he was summoned by Zhang Jiao, it comes with innate loyalty, but it is still very important for the emotions between clans, not to mention that Wang Qian's ability and reputation are far above his grandson, and it is natural to give Wang Jian a position.
"What are the arrangements for the left side of the hundred miles?" Li Si nodded and continued to ask.
The prime minister is the emperor's son, commanding hundreds of officials, assisting the emperor in governing national affairs, and unifying everything. The prime minister system originated in the Shang and Warring States periods. The establishment of the prime minister of Qin began in the second year of King Wu of Qin, and the left and right prime ministers were set up in the year, and in the thirty-second year of King Zhao of Qin, the state was changed, but sometimes there were also prime ministers, Wei Ran, Lü Buwei, etc. all held this position. Later, it was also adopted by other countries. Due to the widespread implementation of the prime minister system during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, when reforming the political system, he established that the prime minister was "in charge of the son of heaven and assistant to ten thousand machines", making it a formal official system. The prime minister of the Qin Dynasty still followed the name before unification, called "prime minister". The Qin Dynasty began to implement the one-phase system, and also placed the left and right prime ministers. The prime minister is the highest administrative officer, who inherits the emperor's edict and commands hundreds of officials at the bottom, and is in charge of government affairs. When the Qin king Yingzheng was not in power, Lü Buwei was the prime minister, and the prime minister Changping Jun was juxtaposed. After Qin Shi Huang unified the country, he set a person as the prime minister, with Li Si as it, and after Qin II punished Li Si, he took Zhao Gao as the prime minister, and called the prime minister because he was a eunuch. In the Qin system, those who served as prime ministers were all given the title of marquis.
Although Fusu did not establish a country here, this system is still quoted, after all, everyone is here, you have to cover your ears and steal the bell and say that the left long history, the right long history, the left Sima, the right Sima is just that, there is nothing to say.
The current prime ministers are Baili Xi and Li Si, as for Gan Luo, he is really unfortunate to be ranked to let him continue to pay homage to the prime minister.
Lü Buwei wanted to attack Zhao to expand his fiefdom in Hejian, and he sent Cai Ze, the king of Gangcheng, to be a minister in Yan, and after three years of hard work, Yan Prince Dan entered Qin as a hostage. Marquis Wen Xin also invited Zhang Tang of Qin to go to Yan as a minister, so as to unite Yan to attack Zhao and expand his fiefdom in Hejian. Zhang Tang excused himself and said: "To go to Yan State, you must take the Zhao State, because of the grudge against Zhao in the past, Zhao State is offering a reward for a hundred miles to catch me." Wen Xinhou was very unhappy and ordered him to retreat. The young concubine Ganluo asked, "Why is the prince so unhappy?" Wen Xinhou said: "I asked Cai Ze, who had just become a monarch, to work in Yan for a few years, so that the prince Dan entered the court as a hostage, everything is ready, and now I personally invite Zhang Tang to Yan Guo as the prime minister, and he can't resign!" Ganro said, "I have a way to get him to go." Wen Xinhou reprimanded: "Go away!" I'm out in person, he's still indifferent, what else can you do! Gan Luo defended: "In ancient times, Xiang was a Confucius teacher when he was seven years old, and I am twelve years old this year, why didn't the prince let me give it a try, why didn't he reprimand me without saying anything!" ”
So Gan Luo paid a visit to Zhang Tang and asked him: "Your Excellency thinks your merits are better than Wu Anjun's?" Zhang Tang said: "Wu Anjun has great achievements, conquering cities and conquering places, innumerable, I, Zhang Tang, are not as good as him." Gan Luo asked: "Does Your Excellency really know that you are not as good as Wu Anjun?" Zhang Tang replied: "Yes" Gan Luo asked again: "Your Excellency, you see, which one is more powerful than Fan Sui, the Marquis of Ying, who was in charge of Qin politics back then, or the Marquis of Wenxin today?" Zhang Tang said: "It should be inferior to Wen Xinhou." Ganro asked, "Do you confirm this?" Zhang Tang said, "Yes." Gan Luo said: "Ying Hou wanted to attack Zhao back then, but Wu Anjun stopped him, and as a result, Ying Hou hanged Wu Anjun seven miles away from Xianyang. Now Wen Xinhou personally invited you to go to Yan Kingdom to serve as the prime minister, but Your Excellency refused to do so, I don't know where Your Excellency died! Zhang Tang groaned: "Then please tell Wen Xinhou that I, Zhang Tang, am willing to accept this mission." So he asked the chariots and horses to be entangled, and they set out on a later date. Gan Luo went to Wen Xinhou and said, "Please prepare five cars for me, and let me go to Zhao State to open the joints for Zhang Tang first." ”
So Gan Luo went to see King Zhao, who personally went to the outskirts to meet him. Gan Luo asked, "Has the king heard about the prince Dan entering Qin as a hostage?" King Zhao said: "I also heard the wind." Gan Luo analyzed: "When Prince Dan arrives in the Qin State, the Yan State will not dare to betray Qin; Zhang Tang is in Yan, and Qin State will not bully Yan State. Qin and Yan went on a blind date, just to kill Zhao, and Zhao was in danger. Qin and Yan are good with each other, and there is no other reason than to attack Zhao and expand the territory between the rivers. For the sake of the king, if you can give me five cities to expand the land between the rivers, you can make the Qin State send back the Prince Dan and unite the Zhao State to attack the Yan State. King Zhao immediately ceded five cities, and Qin also sent the crown prince Dan Guiyan. The state of Zhao attacked the state of Yan, got the thirty-six counties of Shanggu, and gave one-tenth of the land to the state of Qin.
After Luo returned, he reported the situation to the King of Qin, and the King of Qin rewarded Gan Luo and made him a Shangqing, and gave Gan Luo the original fields and houses of Gan Mao.
Taishi Gong said: Gan Luo is very young, but he gave a clever plan and became famous for future generations. Although he is not a gentleman with good conduct, he is also a veritable strategist in the Warring States period. You must know that when the Qin State is strong and prosperous, the world will exercise power and turn into a trick of deception when it is a special time!
During the Warring States Period, when King Wu of the Qin State, Lizi and Gan Mao had great achievements in using troops against Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu and other eastern countries, so Taishi wrote "The Eleventh Biography of Gan Mao in Zhuli". But the main reason why this biography has endured is that it vividly chronicles the deeds of a young politician, Ganro.
Ganluo was only twelve years old, but he was able to gain insight into the current situation, and took advantage of the contradictions between countries and people to solve the problems that Prime Minister Lü Buwei could not solve, so that Qin State could obtain five cities of Zhao State without spending a single soldier. Ganluo was a promising young man, and became the secretary of the Qin State at the age of twelve, mainly not by his genius, in addition to his usual attention to cultivating his own ability, it was also related to the objective environment at that time. As the praise theory said: "When Fang Qin is strong, the world is especially inclined to deceive." Sima Qian noticed this problem at that time, which is commendable.
However, after all, it is just a matter of vertical and horizontal affairs, and the art of power and diplomacy, whether it is as a politician or as a strategist, it can be said, after all, his original positioning is also Lu Buwei's doorman, and this kind of thing is not a staff member or something.
But if you really want to help the king govern the military and government of the world, it is not a matter of two things that can be said, this is not only a matter of intelligence, experience is also a key thing, no matter what, those two are undoubtedly more suitable for this position.
And Li Si doesn't know what the hell is going on here, but it is obvious that Wang Jian and his son are following him, and there seems to be no one left on Bailixi's side.
"Prime Minister Zuo is in the prime minister's military affairs, and he won't do anything this time!" Wang Ben responded, "Zuo Xiang said that he is not good at military affairs, and he understands the truth of external security and internal security, so these are implemented by us, and what he does is to stabilize the situation and ensure that there will be no problems in the overall situation." ”
In fact, it is true, Bailixi is not a scumbag in military affairs, but it is really not good at or there is no need to rely on war to solve problems.
The famous Battle of Kun was launched during that period, although Baili Xi was against sending troops, but if he was really military smart, he would not have watched the tragedy happen.
With his increasingly strong national strength, Qin Mugong had long wanted to dominate the Central Plains, but the road to the east was choked by the Jin State. Qin Mugong learned that Zheng and Jin Guojun were newly mourned, and wanted to send troops to cross the Jin border to attack Zheng Guo. In order to maintain their hegemony, Xianggong of Jin and his advisers were determined to take the opportunity to attack the Qin State. The Qin army must pass through the Kunshan Mountain to go back and forth, and this mountain is steep and the mountain is extremely streaming, and there is only a winding path between the east and the west. The Jin State decided not to alarm the Qin army to be proud of its ambitions, and when it returned to the division after it was exhausted, it set up an ambush in the dangerous place of Kunshan to annihilate it.
In December, the Qin generals Meng Mingshi, Xi Qishu, and Bai Yibing led an army out. It happened that Zheng Guo's merchant Xiangao went to Zhou to sell cattle, and Xiangao concluded that the Qin army must attack Zheng, that is, fake Zheng Jun's order to reward Qin Shi. Meng Ming saw that Zheng was prepared, so he stopped moving forward and returned after sliding.
When the Jin State detected the return of the Qin division, he immediately ordered Xianzhen to lead the army to secretly rush to Kunshan, and contacted the local Jiang Rong to ambush on both sides of the pass. The Jin army was the main force and attacked the front of the Qin army; Cut off his retreat with Jiang Rong. The Qin army was arrogant and lax because it did not encounter any resistance on the way east, and Meng Mingshi and others did not take precautions and led the army into the Kunshan Mountain. On April 13, the Jin army saw that all the Qin troops had entered the ambush area, and suddenly launched a fierce attack, and Jin Xianggong wore mourning clothes to supervise the battle, completely annihilated the Qin army, and captured Meng Mingshi and other three generals.
In this battle, the Jin army chose a favorable time and favorable terrain to attack the Qin army's political passivity and luck in operational guidance, and won a decisive victory in stopping the Qin state's eastward struggle for hegemony.
However, strategically it is enough, Baili Xi directly changed the strategic goal, no longer went to Jin Gang, and went back to brush Di Rong and so on.
So for the matter on Li Si's side, he doesn't want to operate anything, but when he looks back at the overall situation, he wants to express his opinion.
