……
In the eighth year of Zhao Hou Wuxian (481 B.C.), Bairen County, Dongyang County.
When the 39-year-old Zhao Wuxian stood in front of the threshold of the year of not being confused, what was presented in front of him was the regret of the unsuccessful cause and the hardships of those who traveled a hundred miles and half ninety.
After the meeting of Huangchi, the state of Zhao established hegemony, and the princes began to fight against the army, and the peace had lasted for four years.
At least the economy that has been hovering on the verge of collapse has finally developed benignly under the adjustment of Ji Ran, Zigong, one farmer and one businessman, and the debt owed has been paid off one after another. And those newly conquered lands, although small resistances continued, they were also included in the orbit of Zhao.
The most important thing is that after Zhao Wuxian took Zhang Mengtan as his prime minister and completed the "car on the same track, book on the same text" on the Lu State, Zhao finally found an excuse last year to move the Marquis of Lu to Kan Yi where the ancestral temple is located as the lord of the city, but also retained his status as the monarch of the country, so as to dedicate the last incense to the Duke of Zhou and the birds. The entire state of Lu was annexed by the state of Zhao and divided into three counties: Taishan, Lu County, and Linyi, in addition to the monarch of Sanyi was also deposed and Zou County was established. As a result, Zhao Wuxian had thousands of miles of land in his hands and more than one million residents, and Zhao had almost unified most of the Central Plains.
In this way, the Zhongshan country, which straddles the east and west of Taihang and isolates Taiyuan from Hebei, is particularly eye-catching.
The country founded by Xianyu Bai Di has been trying to integrate into the Central Plains, but the process has been extremely slow, and after the change of monarch this year, there is a tendency to re-transform into a country.
The new monarch of Zhongshan Kingdom is the crown prince who proposed to Zhao four years ago, but was humiliated by Zhao Wuxian's little sister. Because of Zhao Jia's affairs, Zhao Wuxian was already a little angry with him, and when he succeeded to the throne, Zhongshan was unstable, so he let Zhao Guo's secret son Zhai Fengdi, who was nailed to Zhongshan, suddenly attack, raised a rebel flag in Feixian County, and announced his defection to Zhao State.
This move provoked Zhongshan to send troops to quell the rebellion, and Zhao State used Zhongshan to rebel against Zhao State under the pretext that Zhongshan wanted to rebel against Zhao State, and brazenly sent troops to conquer!
Thus, the prelude to the battle between Zhao and Zhongshan began, which was the first large-scale use of troops by Zhao in four years.
In the summer, the army is about to take the pledging to march, but when Zhao Wuxian stepped on the back of his long-lost horse, he found himself resurrected.
……
The so-called hip meat, that is, the fat on the inner thighs, for middle-aged people who are easy to get fat, if they do not exercise regularly and ride a horse, resurrection is inevitable. This little hip made Zhao Wuxian think that time is like water, the sun and the moon have passed, and it has been nearly twenty-five years since he came to this era, and Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
"The widow has been fighting in the north and south before, and his body has not left the saddle for a long time, and the fat on his thighs has dissipated, and he is strong and strong. But in the blink of an eye, four years have passed, Zhao Guo has been peaceful for a long time, and the widow rarely recruits in person, and even the number of times he plays polo is less, and he lives in Yecheng comfortably, so that the flesh is revived......"
But this did not stop his footsteps, Lian is quite old and can still eat, how can he, a prince in the prime of life, be gloomy?
Zhao Wuxian decided that he couldn't spend it like a blunt sword anymore, so he resolutely decided to go on his own expedition!
The reason for the pro-expedition was that in addition to the fact that Zhongshan was close to the mainland of Zhao State, Zhao Wuxian did not have to go too far, but also because he attached great importance to Zhongshan State.
Not only because of the strategic position of Zhongshan Kingdom, but also because of its dangerous strategic position, it is entrenched in the Changshan and Zhending areas, which were called "the eyes of the world" in later generations. Here you can threaten Yan and Hao in the north, and you can contact Taiyuan and Daijun in the west.
Also because in the original history, the Xianyu Zhongshan Kingdom fell and rose several times, and King Zhao Wuling destroyed Zhongshan and recruited 200,000 people, which also took several years. Although the current Xianyu Zhongshan is far from being comparable to the Zhongshan Kingdom that "defeated Qi in the east, Yan in the north, and Zhao in the south" during the Warring States Period, it is also a difficult opponent.
Zhongshan said that it is not big, but it is not small, and the territory of 500 miles is equivalent to the land of a county of Zhao State, except for the plains where the Hutuo River flows, many places are mountains. Moreover, the land is thin and the people are numerous, and most of the Rong Di who were squeezed by the Jin State flowed into Zhongshan, and these Rong Di people who have not yet been fully Huahua are fierce and advocate private fighting, how can a population of more than 300,000 people also recruit more than 20,000 soldiers.
Therefore, Zhao Wuxian did not support the big one, and summoned Dongyang, Hejian, Yecheng, Taiyuan, Hanoi, four counties and one capital of 50,000 horses to go out, and there were 5,000 Yan troops in the north to assist in the attack, almost surrounding Zhongshan.
The Zhao army was divided into three routes, the south army was led by Zhao Wuxian, and the county soldiers from all over the country converged in Handan and Bairen, with Shi Qi leading the right army, Yang Hu leading the left army, and Dong Brown leading the middle army, attacking to the drum and fat. The Northern Route Army was led by Xinzhigou to lead the soldiers and horses of Daijun to attack the Poor Fish Hill, and the Western Route Army was led by Youcheng to attack Jingcheng by the county.
Under the guidance of Zhai Fengtu and other tribes, the army of the South Road was like a bamboo, and obtained Gu, Fei, Shan, Shiyi, Dongyuan and other towns, and the Hutuo River was killed, and Lingshou, the capital of Zhongshan in the north. The north road is dominated by Tu He soldiers, and they also successfully broke through the poor fish hill, converged with the Yan army, and began to attack the left and middle people of the northern gate of Lingshou, only the western army from Taiyuan was blocked in Jingcheng and struggled.
But even so, Zhongshan has lost nearly half of its land, and Zhongshan has no choice but to ask for peace.
However, Zhao Wuxian did not allow it, although it was the rainy season, and the Zhao army could not march to the hilly hinterland of Zhongshan for a while, but as long as the weather improved slightly, it was only a matter of time before Zhongshan was destroyed.
Now, Zhao Wuxian has taken Feixian County as his base camp, just waiting for the rainy season to pass, and after the post is also broken through the well, he will meet Lingshou in three ways and end this war with a devastating battle!
"Although defeated in the field battle, but the soldiers of Zhongshan State should not be underestimated, its craftsman skills are amazing, has a little knowledge of iron smelting, Lingshou City still has three hundred Xianyu strong men to follow the Zhao State's ironclad army, wearing iron armor, using iron rods to fight, claiming that all the blows are broken, and all the charges are ......trapped."
On this day, it was raining lightly outside, and he was discussing with his generals the strategy of capturing Zhongshan. At this time, someone outside came to report, saying that he had caught a scholar outside Feicheng, he said that he had something important to see Zhao Wuxian, and the general on duty saw that he was talking extraordinary, and he was not sure whether this person was Zhao Hou's old man, so he came to report.
"Scholars? I'm afraid I came to take refuge from Zhongshan again. ”
Like Shangjun Bai Di, Hebei's Bai Di is also divided into many tribes, Xian Yu is the largest, followed by Drum, Fei, and Qiu You, the people of these tribes do not have much sense of belonging to the country established by Xian Yu, so seeing that Xian Yu will be defeated, many tribes have begun to show favor to Zhao Wuxian. In the eyes of the few taxis in Zhongshan, especially the scribes, the prosperous Huaxia has a greater sense of belonging than Zhongshan, which still retains some Di customs, and Zhao Wuxian's song "Song to Wine" is widely circulated, making the scholars who come to defect like carp crossing the river.
Today's military discussion is almost over, Zhao Wuxian asked the generals to go down to restrain the soldiers, midsummer is a good season for germs to breed, and we have to do a good job in epidemic prevention.
He sat in the tent, listening to the sound of the cowhide on the top of the tent being beaten by the raindrops, while waiting for the scholar to be brought in by Yu Linwei.
A foot of mud, a body of water stains, an ordinary cloth crown, a tattered umbrella, when the thin man who was over half a hundred years old was escorted in, Zhao Wuxian took a look and found that he was not outstanding in appearance and temperament, but after seeing Zhao Wuxian, he had a clear salute, indicating that he was trained in aristocratic etiquette and could barely be regarded as a scholar.
"I don't know what to call him, where he came from." According to the usual practice, Zhao Wuxian just asked casually, and did not have any expectations, in this era, there are famous and surnamed, and he already knows almost the characters who can leave their tracks in history.
In the face of Zhao Wuxian's inquiry, he saluted respectfully and said: "The villain is a native of Jibei, named Tuo, because his family lives in Dongguo, so he takes Dongguo as his clan, and the villagers call me Mr. Dongguo......"
Zhao Wuxian didn't care much about it, but when he heard this, he suddenly perked up, looked at him carefully, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Dongguo, what is the matter with seeing a widow?" Don't you want to get in? ”
"No, the villain has always disliked being an official, and today he entered the Zhao camp to implore Zhao Hou to stop the expedition to Zhongshan!"
