The 20,000 Qin army, led by Gongzihua, set out from Xianyang, sent a letter to Guguan, and traveled all the way to the east. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he arrived at the city of Luoyang, Gongzihua saw that the gate of Luoyang was closed, and the soldiers were tired from the long journey, so he sent someone in to convey the message, asking Zhou to open the gate of Luoyang and let the Qin army go in to rest.
The strength of the Zhou room is already declining now, if you don't open the door, you will offend the Qin State that is close at hand; And if they open the door, they are worried that the tiger wolf Qin army will cause irreparable consequences to Luoyang, which makes it extremely difficult for them to do!
At this moment, a young Zhou prince, Zhou Shi, stood up, looked at the cowardly Zhou royal family, and said with contempt in his heart: "Since you don't know how to deal with the Qin army, then leave it to me!" ”
After saying that, he ignored the cowardly royal nobles and left alone to deal with the Qin army.
When the Duke of Eastern Zhou asked Zhou Shi how to deal with the tiger-wolf-like Qin army, Zhou Shi replied without looking back: "Treat the master! ”
Outside Luoyang City, Gongzihua looked at the mighty Qin army in front of him with a smug face, he was sure that under the threat of such a powerful army, the soft bones of the Zhou Room would inevitably let them into Luoyang honestly, so that the brothers who followed him could also have a good rest.
The city gate was opened, and the young Zhou son, Zhou Shi, came to the Qin army with five slaughtered cows.
He said to Gongzi Hua, the commander of the Qin army: "My king heard that the Qin division was defeating Qi, so he ordered Zhou to bring five oxen to reward the Qin army, and I hope that the Qin army will return triumphantly!" ”
Gongzihua was first overjoyed when he saw Zhou Shi coming to reward him, but then he saw that after Zhou Shi came out to reward him, the open city gate was immediately closed, and his face immediately sank, and he said unceremoniously: "Our army asked to enter Luoyang City to rest, why is your country unwilling to let our army enter?" ”
Zhou replied most calmly: "The king of Zhou is the Son of Heaven, Luoyang is the residence of the Son of Heaven, and the army of the princes should not enter." ”
When Gongzihua heard this, he immediately became furious, he pointed to the Qin army Zhou Shi and said: "The king of Zhou is the king, and my king Qin is also the king, why can't my Qin army enter Luoyang?" Childe looks at the heroic appearance of my Qin army, does Childe think that our army is not powerful enough to enter Luoyang? At the end of his sentence, there was a threat in his words.
And when the surrounding Qin Jun heard the boss's words, they all shouted! The hustle and bustle made the entire Luoyang City tremble!
Zhou Shi did not have the slightest fear, and he said to Gongzihua: "The Qin army is indeed mighty, but it is not the most powerful army in the world!" ”
Gongzihua said with a sneer: "Then Gongzi, let's talk about it, which country in the world has a more powerful army than my Qin army?" ”
Zhou Zhi said: "For example, today, there is indeed no country whose army is more powerful than the Qin army. However, three hundred years ago, the Qin army led by General Meng Mingshi to attack Zheng State was much more powerful than the Qin army led by the general now! ”
When Gongzihua heard Zhou Shi's words, he was immediately shocked! Then he said to Zhou Shi with a look of shame on his face: "Today is indeed wrong, and I hope that the son will forgive his sins!" Then he turned to the Qin generals around him and said, "I'll set up camp outside Luoyang City!" Pass the order, dare to harass the Son of Heaven and the people of Luoyang, behead! ”
After he gave the order, he said to Zhou with the heaviest salute: "Thank you Gongzi for reminding me today, otherwise our army will repeat the mistakes of the past!" ”
Three hundred years ago, it was the era of Qin Mugong, the most powerful Qin State in the past. Mu Gong wanted to get the land east of the Jin State, and received a report from the general of the Qin State who was in Zheng State and defended Zheng State: Zheng Guojun is newly mourned, and the new monarch is on the throne, which is the weakest time for Zheng Guo! So Mu Gong sent the general Meng Mingshi to lead his army through the countries to Zheng Capital and attack Zheng State. It is intended that the inside and the outside should be combined, and the capital of Zheng State will be broken in one fell swoop, and then the land of Zheng State will be exchanged for the land east of the river with the Jin State!
When Meng Mingshi led the army to Luoyang, the etiquette system at that time was still very strict, and the army of the princes passed through the residence of the Son of Heaven, and they had to get out of the car to salute the Son of Heaven to show respect. However, the Qin army led by Meng Mingshi, although he took off his hat, in order to save trouble, he made a casual appearance after getting off the car and saluted, jumped into the car and followed.
At that time, Wang Sunman, the virtuous son of the Zhou family, discovered this detail of the Qin army, and he commented to the king of Zhou based on the Qin army's such frivolous and rude behavior: The Qin division is light and rude, and will be defeated. If you are light, you will be unscrupulous, and if you are rude, you will take off. If you get out of danger and can't plan, can you be undefeated?
As a result, the Qin army really met Zheng Guo's patriotic businessman Xiangao in the slippery country and came to treat him, and the plan to attack failed! And the Qin army is running thousands of miles, and it can't return to China without getting any benefits! So they easily destroyed the slippery country in front of them, and ransacked the slippery country!
Now it's a big basket! Although the country is a weak country, a small country, and a country that can perish with a blow, it has a strong big brother, that is, the overlord of the world, the Jin country! At that time, the Jin State had just passed away from the Duke of Jin Wen, and it was in the midst of the national funeral, when the Qin State destroyed its vassals, which was an extremely serious provocation for the Jin State!
The newly enthroned Jin Xianggong couldn't bear it at all, plus the famous hawkish marshal of the Jin State was in power, so the monarchs and ministers of the Jin State worked together to lead the army to intercept the Qin army, and finally defeated the Qin army in the dead land, and the Qin State reorganized the army to leave only Meng Mingshi and Bai Yibing, and the three generals of Xiqishu were able to return to the Qin State!
This was one of the worst defeats in the history of the Qin State, and Gongzi Hua, who was the prince of the Qin State, of course knew about it! Therefore, after Zhou woke him up, he didn't dare to lead the army as loosely as before, but governed the army with the most stringent requirements!
When the Qin army passed through Luoyang and continued to Korea and Wei, what Han and Wei saw was a well-disciplined and uniform Qin army! Under the city of Xinzheng and Daliang, it was the first time that Han Jun and King Wei had seen such a mighty and orderly army! They no longer let the courtiers tell them how powerful the Qin army was, but saw the might of the Qin army with their own eyes!
This also made Korea and Wei even more afraid of Qin!
At the same time, the State of Qi also received the news that 20,000 Qin troops were coming! Intimidated by the reputation of the Qin army's successive defeats of the Wei army and the Zhao army, the ministers of the Qi State were greatly afraid of the "invincible" Qin army!
When the Qin army had just passed the Great Liang, the minister of Qi proposed that the king of Qi apologize to the king of Qin, and the state of Qi declared himself a vassal to the state of Qin!
The King of Qi was furious about this, and he said categorically: "The Qin State is thousands of miles away from me, and the end of the strong crossbow is also!" No matter how brave the Qin army is, what is there to fear? ”
Then he asked the ministers of the Qi State: "Can any general dare to lead his division to meet the Qin army?" ”
The veterans of Qi State, such as Tian Pan and Shen Tie, were silent. They have accurate information, and the one who led the Qin army in battle this time was Gongzi Hua, a famous fierce general of the Qin State! Gongzihua, as a nobleman of the Qin State, made many military exploits in the battle of the Qin State to capture Hexi, and it is said that he has the courage of ten thousand people!
And the secret agents they sent to Korea and Wei to investigate the news of the Qin army, and the result was that the Qin army was disciplined, neat, and not lazy at all! In the face of such a strong army, they are also unwilling to rush into battle!
When the veterans were silent, Xing Kuangzhang, the general of the younger generation of Qi State, stood up and said: "I wish the Shuai army to defeat the Qin army!" ”
The King of Qi was greatly pleased with this, and he asked Kuang Zhang, "How many troops does the general need?" ”
Kuang Zhang said lightly: "The Qin army has an expedition of 20,000 troops, and I only need 30,000 troops to defeat the Qin army, so that the Qin State will not dare to underestimate my Qi State from now on!" ”
When the King of Qi heard Kuang Zhang's statement, he was relieved, but he also got the exact news of the Qin army in Korea and Wei through the spies of the Qi State, until the prestige of the Qin army. So he continued to say to Kuang Zhang: "The general has this fighting spirit, and the widow is very pleased! However, the widow heard that the Qin people were brave and fierce, and the Qin army was highly disciplined. Is 30,000 troops too small to meet the Qin army? ”
Kuang Zhang refused: "Thank you for the king's kindness, but in a certain opinion, soldiers are expensive, not much." Moreover, the mobilization of too many troops will inevitably affect domestic production, and now that spring ploughing has just passed, it is not appropriate to mobilize too many troops in China. ”
When King Qi heard Kuang Zhang insist on it, he had no choice but to let him.
