Chapter 157: The Battle of Pushang
Qin and Chu negotiated peace, and Qin will win and solve the crisis of Qin. The Chu army withdrew and returned to China, and the combined forces of Han and Wei also withdrew from the Chu state. Although the war between Qin and Chu came to an end, the Central Plains War continued. Suddenly, a bold decision popped into Yingji's mind... Unite with Han Wei and crusade against the State of Qi. Uniting Han Wei to attack Qi to save Yan was a national policy formulated by Qin a few years ago. In the Great War of Qin and Chu, although the Qin State suffered huge losses. However, the agreement on the military alliance of the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei has not yet been dissolved. At this time, it was the best time to attack the Qi State.
When the prince heard the news, his expression was agitated, and despite everyone's opposition, he asked Gan Mao to lead 50,000 troops to cooperate with the military operation of Winning.
When Qi Wang Tian Bibi learned that Qin Chu was privately discussing peace, he scolded: "Damn, hateful." We helped Chu contain most of Wei's army. It doesn't matter if Chu State is not grateful for the widow's help. actually carried the widow behind his back to negotiate peace with the Qin State. The state of Chu is really too hateful. ”
"The state of Chu has always had no faith in the hearts of the princes of the Central Plains." Tian Poppy said: "The state of Chu privately negotiated peace with the state of Qin, just to lead the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei to the state of Qi. The sinister intentions of the State of Chu. Its plan is vicious. The state of Chu just wants to watch us go to war with the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei. We shouldn't have rescued Chu in the first place. ”
Tian Biqi said: "The widow also regrets it. Chu bullied Han, bullied Qin, and now bullies Qi. The widow can't swallow this evil breath. ”
"Your Majesty, if you can't swallow this evil breath, you have to swallow it." Da Sima Tianhe said: "Sooner or later, we will start to clean up the Chu State." How do we deal with the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei at the moment? ”
Tian Bibi threw out a word sharply, "Hit." ”
Tian Poppy exclaimed: "Your Majesty, we use the strength of one country to fight against the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei, and the disparity in strength is too great. Zhao Guo and Ji Zhi were also waiting for an opportunity in Yan Kingdom. We can no longer go to war with the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei. We should negotiate peace with the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei. ”
"Peace, joke. We don't fight. The three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei would think that the Qi State was afraid of them. Tian Bibi said in a gloomy tone: "Qi is the first powerful country in the East, the princes of the world, and the widows are not afraid. How could he be afraid of the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei. ”
Tian He saw that the king was too emotional, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the matter of attacking is very important, please think twice." ”
"Who dares to persuade again." Tian Bibi said coldly: "Hugh blames the widow for being ruthless. ”
Tian Bibi was angry, and no one dared to speak up and down the Qi Palace.
Tian Bibi suppressed the court and said sharply: "Shengzi." ”
"The end will be."
"The widow takes you as a general, unites the Song army, and fights a decisive battle with the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei." Tian Bi instructed: "In this battle, you must win and raise the power of my Qi country." ”
"Whoa."
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Tian Poppy and Tian He came out side by side.
Tian He asked, "The state of Qi and the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei are at war. Qi Xiang, why don't you persuade the king. ”
"You saw the situation in the court just now. The king has made up his mind, and no matter how much he says, what is the use. Tian Poppy glanced at him and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, you can't listen to what we say?" The kings of today are not the kings of the past. ”
"Yes! The kings of today are not the kings of the past. Tian He couldn't help but ask: "Qi Xiang, what are the chances of us winning this battle." ”
"I'm not sure." Tian Poppy said as he walked: "Whether we can win this battle or not depends on how united the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei are. If the three countries are united, our chances of victory are less than 50%. ”
"Fifty percent." Tian He pondered for a moment and said bitterly: "This number is extremely unfavorable to my country. ”
Tian Poppy sighed: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, maybe I miscalculated. ”
Tian He understood in his heart. The elite of the Qi State is in the Yan Kingdom. In this battle, the Qi State fought against the elites of the Qin, Han and Wei Kingdoms, and the odds of victory were already good if there were three layers. Tian He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Qi Xiang, let's return to the Qi Palace and tell the king about it." ”
"No need." Tian Poppy sighed: "The king succeeded to the throne, and Sancho fought and defeated the provocation of the Qin State. The battle of Guanze defeated Wei and Zhao. Subsequently, in less than 60 days, we broke through the Yandu Jicheng. What the king saw was the competitive division of the Qi country, invincible and invincible in the world. When we enter the palace, we say that the king will only anger him. ”
Tian He nodded and said, "What Qi Xiang said is true." The king became famous too early, went too quickly, and ascended too high. ”
"Yes! It's not necessarily a good thing to become famous too early. Tian Poppy looked up at the blue sky and said: "Perhaps, only when people fall once, will they be awake and grow up." ”
Qi Wang Tian Piqi attached great importance to the results of this battle. This battle is related to the prestige of the eastern power of Qi, and it is also related to whether Qi can annex Yan. The victory of Qi was also a great addition to his meritorious achievements for Tian Biyi. If this battle, the Qi State will be defeated. The princes of the Central Plains would then unite and expel Qi from Yan. Qi Wang Tian Biqi was confident that Qi could not challenge the princes of the world, but it was more than enough to face the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei.
The combined forces of Qin, Han and Wei fought a decisive battle with the combined forces of Qi and Song on the edge of Pushui.
At the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Gongdan assisted King Zhou Cheng to quell the rebellion of the three eunuchs, followed the tradition of 'rising and destroying and succeeding extinction', and sealed the brother of King Yin Wei Ziqi in Shangqiu, the old capital of the Shang Dynasty, and established the Song State. The Song State has a special status and is respected by Zhou Tianzi as one of the three emperors. Zhou Tianzi made Song a duke. Song Gongyan is the thirty-fourth monarch of the Song Kingdom, after more than 700 years.
In 318 BC, Song Gongyan followed the example of the princes of the Central Plains and established himself as king.
The two armies fought, and Song Wangyan suddenly ordered the army to withdraw from the battlefield. The general of the Song army said blankly: "Your Majesty, if we withdraw our troops, the Qi army will be defeated." ”
Song Wangyan smiled and said, "What is the purpose of our promise to Qi to send troops? ”
Everyone: "In order to seize the land and strengthen the strength of the Song Kingdom." ”
Song Wangyan said again: "In this battle, can we seize the land?" ”
The crowd shook their heads.
Song Wang Yan said: "The State of Qi dares to be the enemy of the princes of the world, does the State of Song dare?" ”
"Don't dare."
"The Song Kingdom has existed for more than 700 years, although it is not as good as the Seven Kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Qi, Chuyan. However, the Zhou, Lu, Wei and other countries cannot be compared. The Song State has survived to this day by balancing the princes with their vassals. Today, for the sake of Qi and Qin, Han and Wei, we have made enemies, and the gains outweigh the losses. Song Wang Yan continued: "The State of Qi has a chance of winning against the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei with the strength of one country. ”
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Song Wang Yan said: "The state of Chu dares to take the princes of the world as enemies, and they can't help the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei. How could Qi be the opponent of the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei. Tian Biyi's kid is too arrogant, he should taste the taste of being defeated by others. Otherwise! Tian Bibi really thought that Qi Guo had the final say in the world. ”
The king was right. However, if we take the liberty of withdrawing our troops, the Qi country will be defeated. In the future, how will we give an account to the Qi State. ”
"The Qin, Han and Wei coalition forces are huge, and it is useless for us to help the Qi State. Qi is a big country and can afford to lose. Song Guo can't afford to lose. King Song smiled and said: "The widow is not used to the arrogant demeanor of the Qi people, and they also want to see the appearance of the Qi country's fiasco." In the future, the Qi State will have to be outnumbered, and it will be a big deal for the widow to go to war with the Qi State. ”
Everyone worried: "Your Majesty, the Song State is not the opponent of the Qi State. We can't win against the country. ”
Song Wangyan said disapprerovingly: "If you don't win the fight, you won't know until you fight." In the lifetime of the widow, he will definitely lead the Song State and the Qi State to war and conquer the princes. to restore the territory of the ancestors. ”
"The king has such ambitions, and the ministers are very pleased."
"The widow offended the State of Qi and befriended the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei. It's worth it. The widow did not fight back on the battlefield, and Tian Biqi should thank the widow for his kindness. Song Wangyan waved his hand and ordered: "Withdraw the troops." ”
The Song State took the initiative to withdraw its troops, and the flanks of the Qi army were exposed to the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei, which also shook the military morale of the Qi State. Seeing this, the Qin general won the situation and united with the Han general Han Feng and the Wei general Gongsun Xi to attack the Qi position. The Qi generals fought a bloody battle for three days, and were finally defeated by the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei. The news of Shengzi's defeat was transmitted back to Linzi, the state of Qi. Tian Bibi was furious, pointed at the courtiers and scolded: "None of you share the worries of the widows? ”
The veteran Tian Pan returned from attacking Yan and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops to meet the enemy. ”
Tian Bibi knew Tian Pan's strength very well, and said, "Okay." The widow asked the old general to lead 100,000 troops and go to the battle. Old general, you must beat the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei fiercely to vent your anger for the widow. ”
Tian Pan arched his hand and said, "Huh." ”
The Pushang fiasco, the national strength of Qi was greatly damaged. The states of Qi and Qin, Han, and Wei went to war again. Even if there is a veteran Tian Pan in charge, he can't bargain. Tian He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, in the battle of Pushang, our army's vitality was greatly damaged, and it is not suitable to fight again." ”
Tian Biyi's face was gloomy, and his eyes showed a fierce murderous aura, "Aren't we going to take revenge?" ”
Tian He withstood the pressure from the king, "It's not that I don't report it, it's not time yet." We should wait for the vitality to recover and the national strength to become strong again, and then ask the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei to repay this blood debt. At that time, we can also send troops to destroy the Song Kingdom. ”
"Wait... Wait... Wait. Tian Biqi said angrily: "In addition to letting the widow wait, you are letting the widow endure." What else can you let the widow do? ”
Tian Poppy also said: "In the battle of Pushang, our army has just been defeated, and morale is low. Your Majesty, it is not the best time for us to go to war with the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei again. ”
Tian Bibi set his eyes on Tian Pan and asked, "Old general, are you sure to repel the enemy." ”
Tian Pan hesitated: "The minister will do his best." ”
"The outnumbered man is to defeat the enemy. It's not about you trying your best. ”
"The minister is not sure."
Tian He took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, we will summon General Kuang Zhang back. ”
"Nope." Tian Bibi's forehead protruded, "Yan Kingdom, the widow will never back down." ”
"Report." A harsh voice came into the palace, "Your Majesty, the alliance of the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei is rushing to Linzi." Zhao also sent a large army and stationed it on the border. ”
When everyone heard this, their faces were shocked.
"Report." Another harsh voice came, "Your Majesty, General Kuang Zhang asked me to return to China to report, turmoil broke out in Yan State, Zhao State sent troops to Zhongshan, and Zhongshan State withdrew its troops." ”
"What." Tian Biyi's chest rose and fell violently, "Zhongshan has withdrawn." ”
In the battle of Pushang, the Qi State was defeated. Now the soldiers of the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei are sent to Linzi. In Yandi, the Zhongshan army took the initiative to withdraw its troops, and the Qi State was defeated.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Tian He, Tian Poppy and the others hurriedly said: "Please give an order from the king to transfer back the garrison in Yandi to deal with the national disaster." ”
Everyone also said in unison: "Please give the king an order to transfer back to the Yandi garrison to deal with the national disaster." ”
"That's it, that's it. Yandi, the widow doesn't want it. In the face of Qin, Han, Wei and Zhao Siguo, Tian Biqi didn't have enough confidence, "Go and recall Kuang Zhang quickly." ”
