Chapter 441: The Battle of Han and Zheng
The east of the Xuanzheng Hall of the Qin Palace, which was originally an idle palace, was received by the Duke of Qin in the Xuanzheng Hall after the return of Gongzi Yannan's expedition, the storage of Great Qin was not rich at the same time, the Duke of Qin also sent the inner room to repair these palaces, and it seemed that he planned to turn them into another palace group.
Sure enough, within a few days, a plaque was hung in the inner mansion of the Ying family, on which were written two Qin seals - East Palace!
In the next few days, in the Xun Dynasty, the Duke of Qin also convened the civil and military ministers and announced one thing, that is, let the prince Yan assist the government, and use the East Palace to imitate the court, and temporarily entrust him with the business office.
Duke Qin's actions are not acceptable, after all, the reputation of this Qin Gongzi Yan has recently returned with the victory of the Southern Expedition, and the tide is also rising, as a prince, he naturally needs to enter the court to participate in political affairs.
However, many Shiqing were very puzzled, why did they not directly enter the court to serve as an official like the eldest prince and Gongzixin, but set up another East Palace for him to handle political affairs.
Curiosity is curiosity, Duke Qin just entrusted it to the commercial office that has not been true for a long time but has been circulating for a long time to give this East Palace, except for two or three conservative Shiqing who advised on the grounds of "the business is low", and was rejected by Duke Qin, the matter was abandoned.
And in the East Palace, there are also a lot of figures standing in front of that Qin Gongzi Ying Yan, most of them are military generals in armor, but the styles are slightly different, there are those in the Yulin Army, there are also Jiangxia Yunmeng Army and Nanjun Xiangyang Army, and their heads are all armor equipped by thousands of people.
There are also literati appearances, such as Zhu Kao, who is now in charge of Jiangxia Commercial Houses, in front of him, and Huang Quan, who followed Lin Yuyan all the way to fight and later entrusted Wulin with political affairs, and there is a group of people behind him, who are scholars who follow Qin Gongzi Yingyan, but most of them have no great skills, and they were originally only placed in Jiangxia County Mansion to do some miscellaneous things such as small officials.
Huang Quan took a step forward and frowned and said, "Your Highness's intention is to send caravans to Korea, Wei and Qi?" ”
Lin Yuyan nodded, those treasures scavenged from the Yingdu are indeed priceless and priceless, but after all, they are dead things, for today's Great Qin, they are just decorations, not the food that Great Qin urgently needs now.
Therefore, Lin Yuyan wanted to trade with the princes of the Central Plains, such as the land of the Three Jin Dynasty liked gold, the Qi country liked jade, and the exquisite bronzes did not have any resistance to the Central Plains scholars who liked vassal elegance.
Lin Yuyan nodded: "Everything needs money and food, as long as it is exchanged for food, it is the foundation of action, and it can also ensure that Daqin will not suffer from riots due to famine, therefore, before this winter, it must be transported back to Daqin to have enough food!" ”
Because Zhu Kao was in charge of the specific affairs of the Jiangxia Commercial Bank, he frowned and explained to Lin Yuyan at the moment: "Your Highness, it is a long way to go to the Central Plains, especially now that wars have broken out in various parts of the Central Plains, and there is no more turmoil...... Insecurity! ”
Lin Yuyan pointed to the group of generals standing on the right side: "At present, in order to save military food and salary, it is necessary to carry out disarmament, and the three armies of Yulin, Yunmeng and Xiangyang each have drawn out an army of 1,000 people, which will be the subordinate under the Commercial Bureau, escorting the treasures to the princes of various countries for trade." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Kao's heart was the big stone that fell.
Just when Great Qin was trying to solve the food shortage crisis lurking under the dark side because of the new East Palace, a war of annihilation broke out in the Central Plains.
That is, South Korea has been operating for several years, and even last year, he did not hesitate to throw it out, and the Liang clan, one of Zheng Guoqimu, and the Yin clan sent troops to surround Yang Zhai, who was the capital of Korea at that time, which reduced Zheng Guoqimu's fear of South Korea and fell into a crazy self-chaos.
At the beginning of August, Zheng Guo broke out again in a rebellion against the party and assassinated Zheng Gong, who had just ascended to the throne the year before, and seeing this, South Korea immediately sent a violent kite to lead the Hanoi army to attack Zheng Guo's capital - Zheng Cheng on the grounds of "getting Zheng Gong's letter for help"!
At this time, Qimu is no longer a group for warmth, after all, after getting the authority, the jealousy and suspicion between each other also make Qimu unable to trust each other, Qimu is divided again, South Korea's soldiers and horses are all the way to Zhengcheng, at this time it is Feng's who is one of the Qimu who controls the government, Feng's power in Qimu is not the strongest, not even the top three, Feng's entry into Zhengcheng is a means of neutralization between Qimu.
It is precisely because of this that there are only more than 20,000 people in the Feng clan guarding Zhengcheng, and some of them are young people who are temporarily recruited from around Zhengcheng.
Zheng Cheng, who was guarding like this, naturally couldn't stand it under the strong crossbow of South Korea's strong army, and within three days, Zheng Cheng was broken, and the Feng clan became a prisoner of South Korea.
The capital was all breached, which was a shame for the seven Mu, and Gongsun sent an envoy to scold the remaining six Mu for ignoring the overall situation of the Mu clan.
At that moment, the grandson of the Liang clan launched a battle to defend Zheng Guo against Han Qingong, and Zheng Guo Qimu responded one after another.
It is precisely because of this that Zheng Guo Qimu scattered all his family wealth, called on his clansmen to join the army, and also recruited troops and horses, and finally gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses, stationed in the Yongshi area under the command of Gongsun Xu, Qimu took the Gongsun Yu of Yangzhai of South Korea as the main commander last year, and led 100,000 soldiers and horses to Zhengcheng to kill, ready to recapture the capital from Korea.
Qi Mu underestimated the courage of South Korea's soldiers, and the violent kite deserved to be a famous general in South Korea, and he was also a famous general in the Central Plains, and he stubbornly relied on the 50,000 Hanoi army to lock the 100,000 Zheng Guo and Qi Mu coalition troops to go north to Zhengcheng.
After the Qimu coalition army was blocked by the 50,000 Hanoi army of the violent kite for more than ten days, a news that almost crushed Zheng Guo's last courage reached the ears of the coalition army, that is, the Han ** team actually went out of the army and directly attacked and seized the fiefdom of the Liang clan.
It was the famous Korean general Gong Zhongyi who led the Han army to attack and capture the Liang fiefdom, led the Hedong Army, and the former Yingchuan Shou and Yingchuan generals Shen Cha and Yu Su led the newly formed Yingchuan Army, a full 80,000 soldiers and horses, South Korea was surprised, and the Liang clan's fiefdom was only garrisoned by a small number of soldiers and horses, and it was difficult to be the opponent of the Korean elite generals.
The only threat to South Korea is the Qin general Qiangyuan who was personally canonized by Gongsun Xu, who was stationed in the Yangzhai area, but it was very far away from Yangzhai City, the temporary capital of South Korea, although the two have the same name, but they are not the same place, let's call it "Yangzhai Yi".
Although Qiang Yuan is brave, but before he gets the decree of the Qin court, Qiang Yuan plans to lead thousands of soldiers and horses to defend the small Yangzhai Yi, one of which is naturally to hold Yang Zhaiyi, otherwise the Liang clan feudal town behind Yang Zhai Yi is a piece of defenseless fat meat for South Korea.
Second, as a Qin person, Qiang Yuan naturally knew that if the Han people took down Zheng Guo's Liang clan fiefdom, they would be looking at Daqin Mainland across Fangcheng Mountain, and the blood feud between Daqin and Korea could not be forgotten by Qiang Yuan.
But Qiang Yuan is just a fierce general at best, unlike the commander of the South Korean Hedong Army, Gong Zhong Yi, who is a handsome general with both civil and military skills, and the soldiers of the Korean army are also very brave, compared to Qiang Yuan and Zheng ** team, the armament of the Koreans is already several times better!
Unsurprisingly, on the second day of the arrival of 80,000 Korean troops, Qiang Yuan was defeated and retreated, losing Yangzhai Yi, Qiang Yuan led the remnants of the army to retreat to Zhongyang Mountain, and quickly spread the news to Wancheng,
Daqin received news that it was already in an uproar in the court because South Korea launched a war to destroy the country, and the reason was that the battle between Han and Zheng was another "collapse of etiquette"!
The division of the three families almost announced that Ji Zhou Tianzi had lost the actual co-lord of the world, but the battle of South Korea to destroy Zheng was nominally and once again reduced the deterrent power of the Ji Zhou royal family, because Zheng Guo was one of the few dukes that Ji Zhou Wang Ji had canonized!
Today, as a marquis, South Korea is pointing the finger at the duke's Zheng Guo, as if these acts are not an indication that South Korea is also very likely to point its sword at Ji Zhou Wangji tomorrow!
But even so, Ji Zhou Wangji also maintained a rare silence in the face of South Korea's annexation of the Zheng Guo Office, which was once the biggest help of the Ji Zhou royal family, and there is no doubt that even Ji Zhou Tianzi also felt a great threat, because South Korea's destruction of Zheng was the national policy of South Korea's Zongheng Shizi who moved the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei.
Han, Zhao and Wei joined forces, that is a real overlord of the Central Plains, even if it is the Qi State, in the face of the three Jin Dynasty joining forces, they can only retreat from the edge!
Lin Yuyan was also very shocked when he received this news, but since Wu Guo revealed his ambition to die, Lin Yuyan accepted this matter very quickly, but he was also shocked by South Korea's plan to transport troops that had endured for several years just to show his fangs!
The person who can plan such a great plan to destroy the country for South Korea is not inferior to the unparalleled national warriors that Lin Yuyan has seen compared to his intelligence and skill, like Han Kui, Fan Li and others!
Thinking about it, Lin Yuyan also thought of the South Korean minister...... Shen Buhai!
The sudden outbreak of South Korea also announced that the eastern and northern borders of Great Qin were in a panic, and the "commerce" planned by Lin Yuyan at the beginning of the East Palace had to be suspended.
A few days later, Daqin's business trip in Zheng Guo also brought back a piece of news that shocked Daqin again......
That is, in late September, South Korea launched a decisive battle with the 100,000-strong army of Zheng Guo in Yongshi, and the coalition army of Zheng Guo Qimu was surrounded by the enemy on its back and was surrounded by the Korean army in a valley near Yongshi for half a month.
Gongsun Yu, who was the commander of Zheng Guoqimu's army, and his son Gongsun Boyou, were assassinated by Qimu's You assassins, and their heads were enshrined in front of Gongzhongyi, the commander of Korea.
At this point, there is no doubt about Zheng Guo's defeat!
