Chapter 138: Facing Bai Qi's strategy
After more than a month, Tian Jian finally returned to Linzi.
Linzi is still the same as ever, the commercial market is flourishing, and the pedestrians are still indifferent, as if the sudden war has not affected their daily lives.
And after Tian Jianyi and his cadres returned to Linzi, they were hurriedly called into the platform by Tian Fazhang.
He looked at it, eight or nine out of ten of the courtiers of Qi were here, and there were basically a lot of important ministers in the society, and Mink Bo also completed the mission early and returned to Qi, although he did not prevent Wei from sending troops, but according to the report of the South Korean secret envoy, Mao Sui had persuaded South Korea to delay the start date of the war to the midsummer season.
And Wang Sunjia is also too old, and he has returned to his hometown on the day of Tian Jian's envoy and returned to Jucheng, while Tian Dan seems to have been a little proud recently, and his face is full of energy.
Tian Jian guessed that it must be the coming of the Great War, and the Qi State is indispensable to Anpingjun Tian Dan, the Taishan in the army, without Anpingjun in charge, where can the soldiers of the Qi State have the confidence to face the powerful Qin, Wei, and Korean coalition forces.
And his father Wang Tian Fazhang is that kind of person, he must be ruthless at this time to envelop An Pingjun, lest An Pingjun not contribute.
But according to Tian Jian's observation, everyone in the court, including his father, had a look of panic before the storm was about to come, and his face was unswerving.
"Dare to ask my father, why is he so sad?" Tian Jian couldn't help the doubts in his heart and asked.
Tian Fazhang on the throne smiled reluctantly, and said to Mink Bo: "Taifu, it's up to you to tell the prince!" ”
Taifu? Thinking that his father had agreed to his request, he was promoted to the official position of Mink Bo and became a concubine. Although Taifu doesn't care about facts, he belongs to the honorable position in the court, only one level lower than the position of prime minister.
Mink gathered his sleeves, thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, according to the messenger of the Qin State, the King of Qin has decided to let Bai Qi be the commander of the three armies this time. ”
"White up! White up! ”
Tian Jian's body was shocked, and he almost collapsed to the ground, this is a name that can never be crossed in the Warring States Period, he has tried hard to tell himself that one day he will face Bai Qi, but when he really hears Bai Qi's name, there is still a sense of oppression.
Although he didn't know how powerful Bai Qi was, this simple name did give a person a fierce sense of fear, this is a butcher who has killed countless people.
Also an excellent commander, he is invincible!
Invincible, this word Wu Qi has also used, but this feeling is completely different from Bai Qi, because killing people is different.
"Prince, Prince!" Tian Fazhang shouted.
Seeing that his heir was so unassuming, Tian Fazhang was suddenly a little dissatisfied, it seemed that he had forgotten that when he heard Bai Ming's name, the cold sweat behind him, although he had confidence in An Pingjun, he was just confident!
Tian Jian gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and said, "I lost my honor in front of the Jian'er Palace, please don't blame my father." ”
At this time, Mink Bo took a step forward and said to Tian Fazhang: "Your Highness is understandable to be nervous when he first hears Bai Qi's name, and he can take it seriously if he is not nervous." ”
Tian Jian felt grateful in his heart, and sure enough, he became his own master, this mink Bo did everything to himself, and if he was like this, he would definitely ignore it.
Tian Fazhang touched his swollen forehead, waved his hand and said: "Don't blame the widow for this matter, Jian'er, this time to envoy Chu will have something to gain." ”
"When there is a reward!" Tian Jianzheng said, bowed to the people in the court, and then said: "Jian'er has signed an alliance with the Chu State, this time the alliance of the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Qin will attack Taoyi, and our Qi State and Chu State should jointly send troops to resist the Three Kingdoms." ”
After finishing speaking, Tian Jian hesitated slightly.
"Your Highness, please speak, but what's the difficulty?" Tian Dan, a good old man, stepped forward to help.
Tian Jian bit his lower lip tightly and hesitated: "The Chu State has already agreed to this matter, but the Chu State has been through many wars, and now the Jianghan has lost again, and the food and grass for the army this time are insufficient." ”
"How much?" Tian Fazhang's tense heart suddenly relaxed, the great cause of the Qi country was great, and these grains and grasses were really not taken to heart.
"Not much, as long as half of the grain and grass consumed by the Chu army this time." Tian Jian replied.
"Half of the grain and grass is enough." Tian Fazhang took a reassuring pill in his heart, with the help of Chu State, Qi and Chu are not weaker than the Three Kingdoms, among which South Korea has the confidence to come to attack Qi State, that is, a role in soy sauce, and it is Wei State and Qin State that really need to be guarded against.
However, not long after this joy hung on Tian Fazhang's face, it disappeared immediately. Even if it is the Qichu coalition army, but the other party has the big killing weapon of Bai Qi, how can it resist.
In the Battle of Yique that year, Bai Qi of Qin led 100,000 people to defeat the 240,000 people of Han Wei and the Eastern Zhou coalition army. And the Qin State also went out to fight with the popular troops.
In the twenty-second year of King Zhou (293 BC), King Qin Zhao, under the recommendation of Prime Minister Wei Ran, promoted Bai Qi to Zuo Geng, replacing Xiang Shou as the main general. In the same year, Korea sent a famous general, Storm Kite, to lead 80,000 troops, and Wei sent a famous general, Gongsun Xi, to lead 160,000 troops.
Gongsun Xi and Storm Kite are both famous generals of Han and Wei, and they are equivalent to the level of Anping Jun Tiandan in the Korean Wei State.
The Han and Wei coalition forces were very powerful, but they did not attack the territory of Qin, but only held on to the city "Yique" at the junction of Han, Wei and Qin, waiting for the Qin army to fight. , the Qin side of the army was less than half of the combined forces of Han, Wei, and Eastern Zhou.
Yique is located in the south of Luoyang, and is the only way for the Qin State to go east out of the Central Plains. Yishui (a tributary of Nanluoshui) flows into Yique to the north, and Dayu channeled this mountain to pass the water in the past. The two mountains are opposite, and from a distance they look like a gate, and the water flows through the middle and flows northward, so it is called the Yique.
This stop was Bai Qi's battle of fame, with a mere 100,000 troops defeated the 240,000 Han and Wei coalition army, and Han Wei, who occupied a favorable position, faced the Qin army led by Bai Qi like a lamb to the slaughter, and was annihilated alive 240,000 people.
Know that this is not defeat, but annihilation, annihilation!
Gongsun Xi and Storm Kite were also battle-hardened, losing to Bai Qi, a rising star, and were annihilated by 240,000.
The Battle of Yique annihilated the 240,000 allied troops of Han and Wei, completely sweeping the road of the Qin army's eastward advance. Then Bai Qi broke the Chu army, invaded Yingdu, and forced the Chu State to move its capital, and the Chu State has been in a slump since then.
Now Bai Qi does not have the famous Battle of Changping, which annihilated 400,000 Zhao troops. But his fame had reached the ears of the monarchs of the nations. Winning more with less is not a skill, but annihilation is a skill! This is white rising.
In the face of Bai Qi, Tian Jian had an immature idea in his heart, maybe he could give it a try, he said to Tian Fazhang and the ministers: "Father, Jian'er thinks that although Bai Qi has great military achievements, it is difficult to compare with the famous generals of the world, but Jian'er has a skill or can be tried. ”
