Chapter 113: The Qin State Breaks the Righteous Canal

Yiqu, an ancient tribe. During the Yin Shang period, Yiqu lived by herding and hunting, forming a tribe. In the era of Shang Wuyi, Ji Li, with the support of the Shang Dynasty, fell into the west in the 35th year of Wuyi, and floated the twelve Zhai kings. In the thirtieth year of Wu Yi, Ji Li cut down Yiqu Rong again, won his king, and forced Yiqu to submit to Shang. King Wu of Zhou replaced Yin Shang, and the Zhou people moved south. Yiqu occupies the Longdong area of the Zhou people. After the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Mu to King Xuan's era, he sent troops to attack Yiqu many times, but the effect was very small. In the thirty-ninth year of King Xuan of Zhou, in order to divide the forces of Zhurong, Yiqu, one of the five Rong, was placed in Dayuan.

The terrain of the Great Plains is flat, the land is fertile, the water is abundant and the grass is abundant, and it is suitable for farming and grazing. While learning the advanced culture of the Zhou people, Yiqu used force to unify many small Rong, and gradually became a large tribe. In the year of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the King of Ji Zhou was in a diplomatic trap, Wurong rebelled against Zhou, led his troops south, killed Yu Lishan, the king of Zhou You, and broke through the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty. King Zhou Ping was afraid of Rong Di's troubles and moved the capital to Luoyi. Yiqu took advantage of the civil strife of the Western Zhou royal family and declared his own state. After the founding of Yiqu, Yiqu Jun sent troops to annihilate the other Rongdi. After several generations of Yiqu Jun opened up the territory. The territory of Yiqu reaches the Xihaigu grassland in the west, Qiaoshan in the east, Ningxia Hetao in the north, and Jingshui in the south, covering an area of about 100,000 square kilometers.

When King Zhou Ping moved eastward, Qin Xianggong had a meritorious escort. King Ping of Zhou gave the land around Qishan to the Qin people. The Qin people were given full power to conquer the Western Rongdi. The state of Qin, founded in the Weishui Valley, quietly rose, and for hundreds of years, the Qin state and Rongdi were constantly at war. In 444 B.C., Qin attacked Yiqu and returned to his king. After the defeat of Yiqu, Yiqu Jun worked hard and recuperated for 14 years. In 430 B.C., Yiqu Jun poured the strength of the whole country into Qin, attacking from Jingbei to Weinan, not only recovering the lost territory in the past, but also expanding the territory to 200,000 square kilometers. Its territory extends to northern Shaanxi in the east, Hetao in the north, Longxi in the west, and Weishui in the south. Yiqu became the most powerful enemy that threatened the Qin state.

In 337 B.C., Qin Xiaogong Yingquliang completed the journey of his life. His son, Yingsi, inherited the throne of the monarch. This year, Yingsi was nineteen years old. Yiqujun sent troops to attack the Qin State and gave Yingsi a big gift. Yingsi's eyes are mainly in the country, turning a blind eye to Yiqu's attack. But Yiqu's threat to the Qin State has always hovered in Yingsi's heart. Ying Si understood that the east went out of the Han Valley to fight for the world, and the Yiqu was the henchman of the Qin State.

Qin Gong Yingsi stabilized the state politics of Qin, intensified the blow to Wei, and recovered the land west of the river. In 331 B.C., taking advantage of the civil strife in the Yiqu Kingdom, Qin Gong Yingsi sent troops to sweep the Yiqu. Yiqu was forced by the strong pressure of the Qin State to temporarily surrender to Qin and recuperate. In order to make Yiqu completely surrender to Qin, Yingsi sent troops to Yiqu again in 327 BC, and Yiqu was defeated and declared a vassal to Qin. Yiqu Jun was repeatedly defeated by Qin, and while recuperating and preserving his strength, he was looking for a way to revitalize his national strength.

If you want Yiqu to be strong, you must learn from the people of the Central Plains. So, Yiqu Jun left Yiqu and came to Wei.

In order to seek the Qin State, Gongsun Yan made careful arrangements. First, it was said that the princes of the Central Plains jointly attacked Qin, and then secretly contacted Qin's old enemy Yiqu. Gongsun Yan, with the title of king, invited Jiyiqu Jun to attack Qin. Yiqujun, as the king of Dirong in the northwest of Qin, the eagle on the grassland, was naturally unwilling to submit to Qin. Contemporary Yiqu Jun is strong-tempered, unruly, and an ambitious person. There have long been attacks on the Qin State to regain the lost dignity of Yiqu.

Yiqu Jun readily agreed to Gongsun Yan's conditions, but he had a doubt about how Yiqu could attack Qin at the best time.

Gongsun Yan said: "If there is no war in the Qin State, he will lead the army to attack Yiqu." When the Qin State was at war, it would bribe Yiqu with money and beauties. Therefore, when the Qin State took the initiative to send money and beauties, it was the best time for Yiqu to send troops to attack the Qin State. ”

Yiqujun left the Wei State, remembering what Gongsun Yan said.

On this day, Yiqu Jun galloped across the grassland to round up wild wolves.

Suddenly, someone came to report that the envoy of the Qin State asked to see him.

Yiqujun drew his bow and arrows and hit the vicious wolf. The warriors of Yiqu cheered in unison, "The king is mighty. ”

Yiqu Jun threw down his bow and arrows and asked, "What is the Qin envoy doing here?" ”

The visitor said: "The Qin Kingdom has brought many treasures and beauties to the king. ”

Yiqujun seemed to remember what Gongsun Yan said, threw down his bow and arrows and smiled at the generals: "The Qin State is here, let's go and take a look." ”

Yiqujun sat in the big tent, and the Qin envoy walked in with the beauties and property, "Yiqujun, this is my king's intention, please accept it." ”

Yiqu Jun asked, "Why did the Qin State give me money and beauties." ”

The Qin envoy said: "The Qin State is willing to form an alliance with Yiqu and never conquer it." ”

Yiqu Jun guessed the intention of the Qin State in his heart, and he didn't break it, got up to inspect the treasure sent by the Qin State, and looked at the beauties sent by the Qin people, and smiled happily. The Qin envoy signed an alliance with Yiqu Jun, and then left the big tent and returned to China to resume his life. Yiqu Jun gave the treasures and beauties sent by the Qin State to the brave soldiers. The moment the Qin envoy left Yiqu, Yiqu Jun was ready to raise an army to attack Qin. Yiqu Jun learned that the main force of the Qin State was fighting the princes of the Central Plains in Hangu. The Northwest Frontier Army was weakly defended, and decisively gathered men and horses to attack the Qin State.

Yiqujun defeated the Qin army in the first battle at Li Bo, killed the defenders of Qin, and went straight to Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

Yiqu Jun pointed to the land of Qin, and the fierce grassland warriors said: "Warriors, follow me to break through Qin and occupy Xianyang." The beauties and treasures of the Qin Kingdom are yours. Good men of the grassland, show your courage and conquer the Qin people. ”

The corners of the Yiqu warrior's mouth made a wolf-like sound and rushed towards the Qin State.

In order to be able to deal with the princes of the Central Plains with peace of mind. Listen to Chen Zhen's advice, bribe Yiqu Jun with treasures and beauties, and degrade the ambition of King Rong. Yingsi won two battles against Yiqu, and both won a big victory, and he didn't take Yiqu seriously in his heart. However, the five-nation alliance army was waiting for Hangu Pass, and if Yiqu also made some noise in the rear of Qin. The Qin State fought on two fronts, and the situation was extremely unfavorable. Ying Si was forced to accept Chen Zhen's suggestion to bribe Yiqu with treasures and beauties. Yingsi's helpless move did not know that he exposed his weakness to Yiqu. Yiqu Jun smiled at the money and beauties of the Qin State, and openly tore up the covenant between the two countries before the handwriting was dry.

Yiqu attacked the Qin State, marched all the way, and conquered the city. Seeing that he had entered Qin, Yiqu Jun was like entering a no-man's land, waved the war knife in his hand, and killed Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and was bound to capture Yingsi alive. The Yiqu army was two hundred miles away from Xianyang, and it was intercepted by a new force of Qin. When Yiqu Jun saw this, he wondered in his heart: "Where did this army come from?" Soon the scout came with the news and said: "King Yingsi of Qin personally led the troops. ”

Yiqu Jun said: "The old man is here. ”

Zhai Tapir, the general beside Yiqu Jun, said: "King, what should we do." ”

"It's just right to come." Zhai Li laughed and said, "I want to see how strong the Qin people are." ”

Zhai tapir said: "Your Majesty, let's retreat!" None of the princes of the five kingdoms of the Central Plains was an opponent of the Qin state. We..."

"You think that if we retreat, the Qin people will let us go." Zhai Li said again: "When you come, you have to fight with the Qin people happily." ”

The prairie boy is not afraid of dying in battle, he is afraid of dying in humiliation. The prairie boy believes that the soul of a man who dies in battle can gain eternal life. Yiqu Jun declared himself a vassal to the Qin State, and these heroic men already felt a great shame. Today is the time to prove yourself. The Yiqu warriors shouted in unison: "Kill all the Qin people." ”

This battle is not only a contest between Yiqu and Qin. It is also a personal contest between King Yingsi of Qin and Yiqu Jun. Yiqu Jun succeeded to the throne and was suppressed by the Qin State everywhere, and he was very unhappy in his heart. This day is also the day he has been looking forward to for a long time. King Yiqu saw that the warriors behind him made a voice waiting to be fed, and raised his voice: "You are all good men of my Yiqu. With the sword in your hand, cut off the heads of your enemies. Let the Qin people tremble in front of my righteous man! ”

Yiqu Jun is the king of the grassland, and the Yiqu people can fight well, and they are skilled in arching and shooting. Ying Si has also seen the power of the Yiqu army. When Yingsi learned that Yiqu had attacked the Qin State and defeated the Qin army at Li Bo, Li Bo's generals defending the city were killed. Ying Si naturally did not dare to underestimate the Yiqu, and took the victory as the general, leading the soldiers of the Qin army to sweep the Yiqu.

Win the disease and be familiar with the tactics of Yiqu. Yiqu won the first battle of Qin, if it is not timely to curb the momentum of Yiqu's offensive. The disaster that Yiqu brought to the Qin State is difficult to assess. Qin Guogang had a battle with the Sanjin, and it took time for the Qin army to go. As a result, Sima Cuo and Yinghua led 30,000 Qin soldiers to intercept the Yiqu. Winning Zhengse said: "Two generals, you must not let Yiqu take a step forward. ”

Sima Cuo and Yinghua said in unison: "Yiqu is taking a step forward, come and see you." ”

Sima Cuo and Yinghua lived up to their expectations of victory, commanded the Great Qin soldiers, and successfully intercepted the attack on Yiqu. With the arrival of the main force of Qin, the contest between Yiqu and Qin officially began.

King Yingsi of Qin said angrily: "Yiqu Jun, why did you break the covenant and attack our country. ”

"Old man, I am the king of Xijon." Yiqu Jun Zhai Li said: "I don't remember any covenant. ”

"Yiqu-kun, you really want to go against the widow." Ying Si said coldly: "You have received treasures and beauties, and formed an alliance with the widows. Yiqu and the Qin State, stop the war and enjoy peace forever. Before the handwriting of the letter of alliance was dry, you broke your word and rebelled. Zhai Li, you raise an army to attack me, take my city, kill my soldiers, and slaughter my people. If you don't take revenge, you won't be a man. Zhai Li, you have succeeded in provoking the widow into anger. The widow wants you and your Yiqu country to have no grass and corpses all over the field, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart. Today's outnumbered Great Qin soldiers will expel you and destroy your Yiqu country. ”

"Yingsi Lao'er, you have such a big breath." Zhai Li snorted coldly, "If you want to destroy me and Yiqu, it depends on whether you have that ability." ”

"Okay." Yingsi Tiger roared, "The widow wants you to pay a heavy price for your actions. ”

"Yingsi Lao'er, you are so long-winded." Zhai Li listened impatiently, "If you want to fight, you can fight, what do you say." ”

Ying Ji said: "Your Majesty, Yiqu is a barbarian. Only fists can be used against them. Only by beating them down will they be obedient. ”

"This group of barbarians took the money and beauties of the widows, and rebelled again." Ying Si was furious and said, "Win the disease, you teach this group of hateful barbarians a good lesson for the widows." ”

"No." Ying Ji turned to face the soldiers of the Qin army, "Yiqu betrayed the alliance first, and then broke my city, killed my Qin generals, plundered my land, and slaughtered my people." Is it tolerable or unbearable, Daqin soldiers, what should you do. ”

"Expelle the righteous canal and return my mountains and rivers."

"Expel the enemy and protect our land." Ying Jian pulled out his long sword and sent it forward, "All the soldiers obey orders... Go to war"

Yiqujun couldn't wait for a long time, and led the grassland warriors straight to the Qin army. The state of Qin grew up in the battle against Rong Di. Therefore, there is a set of tactics to deal with Rong Di. Whether it is offensive or defensive, the Qin State is better than the Yiqu people. After several battles, Yiqu was defeated by the Qin army, and many soldiers and horses were lost. Yiqu Jun saw that the grassland boys fell one by one, and this battle could not be won, so he decisively issued an order to retreat.

When the Qin army saw the retreat of the Yiqu people, they launched a frantic counterattack. The Qin army took back the land occupied by Yiqu in one fell swoop. The Yiqu people were also driven out of the country by the Qin State. The soldiers of the Qin army enthusiastically said: "The Yiqu people have retreated, and we have invaded the territory of Yiqu and destroyed the Yiqu country. ”

Victory was not carried away by victory. The territory of Yiqu is vast, and the people of Yiqu can fight well. Yiqu and Qin fought for hundreds of years, and it was not easy to destroy the country in World War I. The Qin State not only repelled the invading enemy, but also successfully deterred Rong Di. Qin was mired in a war with Rongdi, and when the princes of the Central Plains saw this, they would join forces to attack Qin again.

Ying Si also thought that keeping the current victory was the biggest victory. The Yiqu people will be destroyed sooner or later, and now is not the best time. When the Qin State recovers its vitality and the country's situation is stable, it will not be too late to send troops to attack Yiqu. Between Yiqu Jun and him, whether it is a country or a personal grudge, he is the winner. So, Yingsi conveyed the edict and moved back to Xianyang.

In the east, the Qin State defeated the allied forces of Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Chu, and in the west, the Yiqu people were powerless to fight back. The state of Qin, a country neglected by the princes of the Central Plains, is entering the stage of the Warring States with a new attitude.
