Chapter 76: Ji Ling is tempted
Ji Yan said: "Being a woman has no status, it's good to meet a good man, otherwise you will have a hard life for the rest of your life." But only my eldest brother can think about it, let us do anything, not afraid of us showing up, as long as we like it, he doesn't care, there are many things my father didn't let me do before. ”
Ji Xian agreed: "Yes, Sister Ji Yan, although my father loved me in the past, he didn't let me do many things, saying that a girl only needs to be virtuous." ”
Ji Ling also said: "When you say this, I also think that's the case, since I followed the dead hooligan brother, my father doesn't care how crazy I am." Especially my mother, since she met the dead hooligan, she also said to me that being a woman should be like me, living a wonderful and comfortable life, and now she doesn't bother to care about me, every time she sees me and asks, is there anything interesting happening during this time. ”
Ziran said: "General Hua's thinking is different from those I have seen before. But I've never heard of him in other countries before, and everyone is talking about how powerful General Xiang is at war. After I got to know them, I found that General Xiang had a lot of respect for General Hua, and I had to ask General Hua what kind of person he was."
Ji Ling said: "We, like you, don't know anything about the two brothers before, we only know what they have done in the past two years, and only Xia Xueqin knows them the earliest. ”
Xia Xueqin said: "Princess, I knew them a few months before you."
Ji Ling said, "My father and brother both said that it was as if they had suddenly fallen from the sky. Then the two of them forced my father to do it together, saying that they wanted to unify the world, but my father was very scared at that time, thinking that this was impossible. ”
Ji Yan said: "Hey, don't talk about their two brothers, the more you talk about it, the more you don't understand." ”
After more than ten days, Cao Di found Xiang Yu and Hua Long and said: "General Xiang, we arranged for the spies to go to Yan Kingdom to report, saying that after King Yan came to the Zhou Dynasty this time, he came and went, and after a long journey of thousands of miles, he was about to die after returning to Yan Kingdom, and the Yan King's Palace was on high alert. ”
Xiang Yu said: "This news is good, General Cao, you quickly send someone to inform King Qi." ”
When King Qi received Xiang Yu's notice, the spies he arranged in Yan Country also reported the news, but he was still very grateful to Xiang Yu in his heart. And arranged for people to pay close attention to the affairs of King Yan, and report as soon as there was news, and at the same time asked people to hurry up the time to buy the ministers of Yan State.
Sure enough, in less than a month, King Yan died, and the crown prince ascended the throne.
King Xinyan was dissatisfied with Le Yi from the time he was the crown prince, and after he ascended the throne, the ministers who were bribed by the Qi State began to spread rumors and said: "Less than one-third of the cities of the Qi State have not been captured, and the number of troops is only more than 200,000." The reason why Le Yi didn't take the Qi State as soon as possible was that I heard that Le Yi had a grudge with the prince of Yan State, and he was afraid that the prince would retaliate against Le Yi after succeeding to the throne, so Le Yi deliberately delayed time, stayed in Qi State, and prepared to claim the throne in Qi State. ”
King Xinyan was already suspicious of Le Yi, but now he heard that the ministers of the court and the central government began to talk about Le Yi, and his heart became even more vigilant. Within a few days, King Xinyan sent a cavalry robber to replace Le Yi as a general, and let Le Yi return to China.
After Le Yi received the order of the new Yan King, he knew in his heart that the Yan King sent someone to replace him, because he did not trust himself, and he still hated himself in his heart. Le Yi was afraid of being killed after returning to China, so on the way back to China, he turned to the Jin State and surrendered to the Jin State.
When King Qi learned the news, he was overjoyed, and immediately invited the ministers to discuss, saying: "Now that the generals on the front line of the Yan Kingdom have been replaced, it is a good time for us to counterattack, let's talk about what is the best strategy for counterattacking." ”
A minister said: "King, we will take advantage of the current change of generals in the Yan Kingdom, the people's hearts are not stable, and we will directly attack them and kill them by surprise." ”
King Qi said: "If we fight hard like this, if we win, our strength will be greatly reduced, and it is not cost-effective, so let's think about whether there is a better way." ”
A Tian Dan general said: "Great King, the new Yan King is also eager to capture our Qi State now that he has changed generals, so we simply induce the Yan army to attack, do a good job of ambushing, and strive to defeat them in one fell swoop." ”
King Qi said: "Okay, this time General Tian will lead the troops and attack the Yan army." ”
After Tiandan led the army, he began to send people to the Yanguo military camp and said: "If the cavalry robbery is not attacked, it must be Leyi's people, and they will go to Leyi's footsteps." ”
The cavalry was originally meritorious, but when he first came, many generals in the army did not accept him, and simply wanted to establish his prestige by winning a victory.
Two days later, the cavalry led the whole army to attack the Qi army, and after two hours of fighting between the two sides, there were great casualties, and Tian Dan ordered the Qi army to retreat. The cavalry robbery was overjoyed, so he ordered the army to pursue, and the general next to him reminded the cavalry robbery: "General cavalry, the Qi army does not have much disadvantage this time, so it will retreat, I am afraid that there will be an ambush." ”
The horse robber said: "Now that the Qi country doesn't have much territory, if it is not unable to support it, it will not retreat easily." ”
insisted on leading the army to pursue, but the Qi army retreated too quickly, retreating for dozens of miles at once, and led the army to occupy part of the Qi city. After a day of rest, he continued to lead the army to attack the Qi army, and the Qi army fought for a while and retreated.
The Yan army attacked for many days, and there were only a few cities left in the Qi country. The cavalry robbers thought that the time had come to completely destroy the Qi State, and prepared to launch a general attack on the Qi State.
Tian Dan then mobilized the soldiers and said: "We have retreated to the end, there is no way to retreat, everyone is now either fighting to the death with me, driving out the Yan army, or being slaves to the country." ”
Everyone said: "We resolutely do not want to be slaves to the country, and we want to fight to the death with General Tian to keep our homeland." ”
On the day of the decisive battle, the Yan army was on a large scale, and the Qi army regarded death as home, and bravely killed the enemy, plus Tian Dan had been hiding tens of thousands of troops, ambushing beside him, and now he was also killing the Yan army from both sides. Seeing the plan, the morale of the Yan army was greatly reduced, and under the strong counterattack of the Qi army, the Yan army was defeated, and the cavalry ordered a retreat.
Tian Dan led the Qi army to chase the Yan army, and chased and killed for 60 miles before stopping, in this battle, the Yan army suffered nearly half of the soldiers, and it was impossible to organize a counteroffensive. The next day, the Qi army began to attack the Yan army again, and the Vietnamese army was simply unable to resist, and the casualties were increasing. It didn't take long for the Yan army to retreat to the Yan Kingdom.
The Qi army finally recovered all the cities of Qi and welcomed the king of Qi back to the capital Linzi, and the king of Qi was overjoyed and rewarded the army personally. Although the Qi army recaptured the country, the losses were too great, half of the soldiers were killed or wounded, the total strength was less than 300,000, and the country also suffered great damage.
The king of Qi simply sent people to find Xiang Yu Hualong and them, learn their knowledge, devote themselves to developing the economy, and quickly improve the national strength. Hua Long arranged for the people of the King of Qi to go to Yiling to study with Shen You.
King Yan now regrets that he should not have sent cavalry robbers to replace Le Yi, resulting in a crushing defeat for the Yan army, not to mention the loss of troops, and the loss of the occupied land of Qi. However, in his heart, he resented Le Yi's surrender to the Jin Kingdom, and he was even more afraid that in order to take revenge, the Jin Kingdom would use Yi to attack the Yan Kingdom by taking advantage of the defeat and fatigue of the Yan State.
The king of Yan sent someone to the Jin Kingdom to reproach Le Yi, but at the same time apologized to him and said: "The first king entrusted the entire Yan country to the general, and the general avenged the defeat of the Qi country for the Yan country, and avenged the deep hatred for the first king, and there is no one in the world who is not shaken." Where will I dare to forget the general's merits one day! When the previous king passed away, I myself first ascended the throne, and it was the people on the left and right who misled me.
I sent cavalry robbers to replace the general, also because the general has been away for a long time and sleeps in the open air, so I want to recall the general, take a break for the time being, and discuss the government's political plan. I didn't want the general to mishear the rumors and think that there was something wrong with me, so he abandoned the Yan State and returned to the Jin State. It's okay for the general to plan for himself, but how can he be worthy of the deep affection of the former king for the general?"
For this reason, Le Yi replied: "I am loyal to the first king, and I know each other well with the first king. But King Yan's distrust of himself led to failure, and he didn't want to be loyal and unjustly killed, so he had to throw himself into the Jin Kingdom. ”
