Chapter 790: Yan Po Donghu
Yan Kingdom, there is no end.
Yan General Qin Kai raised his head and looked at the endless wilderness, the new grass and trees opened again, according to the usual practice, it didn't take long for the predators in the north of Yan Country - the Hu people of Donghu to carry the greedy ** south invasion, and the people of Yan Country at that time inevitably suffered a catastrophe!
Yan Jiang Qin Kai silently clenched his fists, the weather in Saibei in March was still quite cold, and this cold wind blew Qin Kai to keep his calmest state at all times.
Le Yi looked at the general in the north of the Yan Kingdom in front of him, the northern border of the Yan Kingdom has been repeatedly violated by Donghu over the years, and even attacked under Jicheng.
However, Le Yi knew that these were not the faults of Qin Kai, who was guarding the northern border, but because the national strength of Yan was too weak, if it weren't for Qin's armament assistance, even if Yan was now in the government, I am afraid it would still be in the double bullying of Donghu and Qi.
Indeed, since receiving the assistance of the Qin State, this Yan General who used to be a prosperous and prosperous member of the Donghu tribe is like an iron wall in the north of the Yan State, and after the first two years of the Qin State, the Yan State has never suffered from the national crisis when the Donghu can attack under Jicheng.
"Yaqing, you see that this is the northern center of Yan State, and it is the bridgehead of Yan State's counterattack on Donghu!"
"At most ten days, Donghu will quickly go south to invade the Yan country, at that time, the end of the general can lead the army to meet Donghu, the Yan army from west to east, from the water to the fishing water of Miyun, Baoqiu water advance, can all the way to the pass, the horse stepped on the Pingchuan, Donghu must be too late to defend at first glance!"
Le Yi listened to the blueprint drawn by Qin Kai, and nodded thoughtfully: "The general is a person who has traveled in Donghu for more than ten years, and is familiar with the map and customs of Donghu. ”
"Yaqing, don't want to be so tormented, if it weren't for Yaqing urging Wang Shangxiu to take the Yan Ting's prevailing army to attack Qi and recover the one hundred and twenty cities in the south of Ji, I'm afraid that the north is in danger now!"
Hearing this, Le Yi shook his head and said: "Meat eaters are despised, even if the king buys horse bones with thousands of dollars and is thirsty for talents, but I am afraid that those meat eaters are still indispensable for the king to stabilize the government and stabilize the hearts of the people." ”
"The king still knows the priority, Rao is the Qin State, the Zhao State, want to chase the Central Plains, and still know that the rear must be stabilized, so he sent troops to Wuling to attack the Baiyue Barbarians, and went out of the Yanmen to attack Lin Hulou, although a certain Yan State now has 200,000 strong soldiers, I am afraid it is far less than the Qin and Zhao Kingdoms, and now attacking the Qi State will only be a humiliation!"
"Alas......" Qin Kai often sighed when he saw Le Yi so knowledgeable, and said: "One general is incompetent and tired to death of the three armies!" If Yan Ting didn't have Yaqing in charge, I'm afraid that the northern border of Yan Country would be in ruin again! ”
Speaking of this, Qin Kai turned his head again and said regretfully: "But how many talented people like Yaqing can stand in the court?" Even if the king is virtuous, but the constraints of the magnates of the entire Yan Kingdom, I am afraid that there are not many Han scholars who will come out! ”
Although Qin Kai has been in a bitter cold place like Yan Country for a long time, his attention to the news of the Central Plains has not slowed down by half a minute, so Qin Kai said: "I heard that Qin State has implemented a system of taking talented people to enter the official career, whether it is the heir of a high-ranking official or a young man in the countryside, he can go out of the Qin State!" ”
Hearing Qin Kai say this, Yaqing also lowered his head, what Qin Kai said was the truth, today's Qin State is indeed a holy place to attract sages from the Central Plains!
However, the various systems of the Qin State are difficult to copy for the Yan State, after all, the division of the royal power of the Yan State is really powerful!
The turmoil in Yan more than ten years ago originated from the rebellion of the prime minister of Yan and established himself as the king, which can be seen.
Even if the current King of Yan is indeed a heroic lord, but in the face of many intertwined forces in the country, he is also painstakingly managing the Yan Kingdom, like Le Yi, Qin Kai, Zou Yan, Ju Xin and Qu Yong, etc., more of them are the ministers of the inner dynasty of King Yan.
The war was imminent, and Le Yi was also unwilling to dwell on this matter, so he immediately reminded Qin Kaidao: "General Qin, be cautious, the left and right are the eyes and ears of the powerful people of Yan State. ”
Qin Kai knew that his words were wrong, and immediately said: "The last general Meng Lang is gone." ”
Le Yi nodded and said: "In the matter of the Northern Expedition to Donghu, there is Le Yi in the government and the opposition who is planning for General Qin, but if there is no final strategy to attack Donghu, it can only be a general!" ”
"It's all for Yan Kingdom, what do you say about hard work!" Saying that, Qin Kai's gaze returned to the vast northern plains again, and said: "The battle between Yan and Donghu is different from the state war of the Central Plains, heavy cavalry, heavy arrows, and Saibei is a horse and a flat river, and there is no such thing as attacking the city and pulling out the Central Plains state war!" ”
"Therefore, this battle should be like the battle between Zhao Guo and Lin Hu Lou, the soldiers are fast, and Lin Hu needs to be leveled within this year!"
……
In the ninth year of the first century, in the spring, Donghu also went south as usual to raid on a small scale, usually large-scale raids still need to be in the autumn, in the eyes of many tribes in Donghu, at this time the farming Central Plains countries have prepared food waiting for them.
Wu End, this is an important town in the north of Yan Kingdom, and it is also a strong city of Yan that cannot be ignored in Donghu, knowing that this city is strong, and the Donghu tribe will not attack it rashly, the reason why it attaches so much importance to this strong city is that the main general of the Yan army who guards the end is Qin Kai!
This once won the trust of the king of Donghu, but he failed the people of the Central Plains!
Annoyed and angry, the king of Donghu informed many tribes in Donghu that anyone who captured or killed Qin Kai could be immediately named the general of Donghu's ten thousand households!
Therefore, the Donghu warriors who came to fight the autumn wind without end are also like carp crossing the river, and they also gather the [Condor Shooters] who are the best in Donghu.
But what the Donghu tribes didn't expect was that in the past, under the invasion of many tribes in Donghu, the Yan Kingdom Wuxiu Army, which would only be closed out of the strong walls and clear fields, actually dared to set up a net outside the endless, waiting for themselves to throw themselves into the net!
Seeing that the Donghu control string soldiers gathered under the endless city had reached a saturation level, Qin Kai also arched his hand to Le Yi to say goodbye, and the horse harness such as the saddle and horseshoe of the Qin State was also transmitted to the territory of the Yan State, and today's Endless Army is a cavalry army that is not inferior to the riding skills of the Donghu soldiers!
This is also where Qin Kai's confidence lies in daring to take the initiative and annex Donghu!
In March of the ninth year of the first century, Leyi and Qin Kai of Yan State set up an ambush in Wuzhong, and the 30,000 Donghu tribe warriors who invaded the northern border of Yan State gathered in Wuzhi were broken by 80,000 soldiers and horses in the north of Yan State, and the whole army was annihilated!
King Yan went to Wuzhi in person, and Yaqing Le Yi led the Jicheng army to defend the northern border of Yan State, Le Yi borrowed the order of King Yan to transfer the right Beiping Army commander Ju Xin and Yuyang Army commander to the north to lead their own men and horses, and cooperate with Qin Kai's department to attack the land of Donghu left and right.
In April, Qin Kai led the army to Fushui, Donghu is a nomadic people, living in water and grass, the two sides of this Weishui are gathered in Donghu three or four thousand cavalry tribes, Qin Kai went all the way north to assault, hit the Donghu Weishui tribe by surprise, and won a complete victory.
In May, Qin Kai led the army to raid Yushui, and fought fiercely against the nomadic Zhurong tribe in the local Zhurong tribe section, at this time, it happened that the king of Donghu was in the upper reaches of the fishing water in the Xiliao River, and heard that the Yan State had blatantly mobilized troops, and the king of Donghu was furious and hurriedly mobilized heavy troops to besiege the Qin Kai department of the Yan State to Yushui.
In June, the main general of the Beiping Army of the Yan State attacked Baoqiushui, defeated the three major tribes of Donghu, such as the beggars, bald, and Tuyuhun, and then turned to the northwest, wanting to meet with Qin.
In July, Ju Xin led the army to Qin Kaihui and successfully gathered 80,000 soldiers and horses of the Yan State to confront the 100,000 Donghu people led by the prince of Donghu along the fishing waters.
At this time, it was received from the northwest of Yuyang along the Gu River to attack the cavalry, but it was besieged by the Donghu tribe, the casualties between the two sides were not large, but because the Yan army was rushing to fight, once blocked, it was a disadvantage, and the cavalry had to retreat.
By August, the king of Donghu and Qin Kai, who were facing each other in the area of Yushui, received the news, and the king of Donghu heard that Yan ** Ma had already pulled out the village, and it was expected that the king of Donghu, who was retreating from the Yan Kingdom, rashly pursued.
Qin Kai attacked in the middle of the fishing water, broke the pursuit of the king of Donghu, and used the restraint of the cavalry from the Qin State such as the iron thistle terrestris, and sent thousands of light horsemen to scatter along the retreat of the Donghu tribe.
In September, Qin Kai crossed the fishing water again, and used the well-equipped Yan State heavy cavalry to break through the Donghu King Plain to hold the courage of the Yan State soldiers and horses, and when he wanted to retreat, the Yan soldiers and horses were again charged, and the 100,000 people who controlled the strings in Donghu were all lost by the Yan State Iron Tribulus terrestris.
Qin Kai took advantage of the situation to force the Donghu army, Qin Kai ordered a heavy reward to motivate the Yan army, so he broke the Donghu army again, the king of Donghu escaped to the West Liao River at night, and the 100,000 people under the camp of the king of Donghu were given to the soldiers and horses of the Yan State to besiege!
In this way, 100,000 people who control the strings fell into the siege of the Yan army, from the end of the army to the battle of fishing and water, the soldiers and horses of the Yan State have marched thousands of miles away, looking at the last Donghu people who are fighting the trapped beasts, Qin Kai's eyes moved away, and he looked at the Xiliao River further northeast.
There, Fang is Donghu's last refuge...... It is also the final destination of Qin Xingzhong's Yan State soldiers and horses! I want to talk about "The Rise of Xiongqin" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
